Wang Jun, who had dark eyes, held a booklet in his hand, followed several soldiers and climbed up the steps against the wall. On the steps, the young and strong men came and went back and forth with the soldiers, either carrying things or carrying supplies to the city.

Because he had been riding a horse for several days and had not had a good rest, Wang Xu was quite tired and his steps were a little drifting. He was now a middle-aged man who was about to be confused. He was no longer a young man who was a hero and upholding justice in Chang'an City. At that time, he could live a life without sleeping all night.

From Xiyang to Anlu, Wang Xu accompanied Chen State surrendered general Wang Meng and others to Xiakou first took a rail carriage through Wuchang. At the beginning, everyone was amazed by such a novel way of travel, but they were blocked by the troop carriage departing from Xiakou on the way. After a long time of struggle, they were able to continue moving forward.

This incident made Zheng Tong, the president of Ezhou, who happened to be with him, a little embarrassed, but it was just a small episode for Wang Jun and his party. They stayed at Xiakou for one night, and took a boat across the river the next day, entered the river through Jiankou, and headed to Anlu upstream.

After arriving in Anlu, Wang Meng and others lived in the city, waiting for the reception of Ling Yu Wenming, the Minister of the Daxingtai of Shannan Road. However, Wang Jun did not care about rest and followed the reinforcements from Xuanhu, Yuzhou Prefecture, to head north.

The military situation was urgent, and the army marched very strongly. Although Wang Zhu had horses to travel, he also followed the soldiers to travel, climbed over Tongbai Mountain and entered the boundary of Shenzhou, and continued to advance towards Xuanhu.

When they passed by Baigouyi, they met a team heading south. Although the other party did not disclose their identity, Wang Jun still noticed that the team was a little different: probably the emperor who moved to Shannan and his group.

This was just the result of Wang Xu's inference based on clues, but this matter had nothing to do with him. The other party did not disclose his identity. Perhaps for safety reasons, Wang Xu pretended that he was unaware of it and turned a blind eye.

Baigou Post is located less than a hundred miles south of Xuanhu. The next trip may not be so hasty, but the situation has taken a sharp turn because the army led by Prime Minister Yuchi Dun is about to approach Xuanhu City.

Wang Jun followed the reinforcements day and night and finally entered the city smoothly when the enemy rangers frequently raided the Xuanhu area. This team was the last reinforcements to arrive in Xuanhu recently. No one knew when the next group would come.

The lonely city cannot be defended, reinforcements are scattered, and the situation in Xuanhu looks bad, but Wang Jun does not regret entering the city at all. Since he chose to take risks with his own life, he has the awareness of dying.

"sit."

Yuwen Wen, dressed in casual clothes, sat on several sandbags and signaled Wang Kui to sit aside. Of course, there were only sandbags on the side.

"Thank you, King."

After delivering the salute, Wang Xu sat on the sandbag next to him without hesitation. Like Yu Wen Wen, he sat down with his feet hanging down.

"Wang Chanjun didn't sleep all night last night?"

Yuwen Wen asked at Wang Jun, who was also "panda eyes", with a smile. Wang Jun nodded and said yes, and then felt a stern: This person is afraid he is looking for trouble.

"I read at night with a light, and I didn't realize it."

"The oil lamp is dim, so Wang Shenjun should be careful of this in the past that his eyes cannot see clearly."

"Thank you for your reminder."

Liu Wenjing, the former member of the Xiyang Wangfu Jishi, is now staying in Lingbiao Guangzhou to serve as an important position. The current Wang Jun is called "Wang Jishi" or "Wang Zhanjun". He answered carefully, for fear of being furious by Yuwen Wen.

After a long period of contact, Wang Xu probably figured out Yu Wenwen's style of conduct. In short, if the King of Xiyang suddenly smiled and talked to you, he would probably be in trouble if he was not careful.

Generally speaking, Yuwen Wen will not do this for no reason. Once it happens, either provokes the other party himself or is in a bad mood.

Wang Wang arrived in Xuanhu yesterday, and there was no chance or reason to provoke Yuwen Wen, but he knew that Yuwen Wen was in a bad mood because there was news that Queen Zhu buried thunder and injured in the Anzhou army in Shaoling, and his life and death were uncertain.

Queen Zhu Yuchi is the princess of Yuwen Wen. If the couple is titled as the court, they are King Zhu and Queen Zhu.

When Wang Jun heard this news, his first reaction was the rumor. He thought Yuwen Wen could figure out the key, but now he saw that this person had dark eyes and thought he had not been asleep all night and was trapped by the rumor.

The couple has a deep love, and the King of Xiyang also has weaknesses, which Wang Jun can understand, but now is not the time to persuade each other, because the more he persuades, the more he will be unlucky.

"Wang joins the army?"

"Subordinate is here."

"Have you ever seen the information I have shown you?"

"King, the lonely city cannot be guarded."

"It's too late to say it now. Yuchi Dun is about to be at the city, so he can't escape." Yuwen Wen looked at Wang Xu with a smile, thinking about how to take advantage of the problem. Wang Xu certainly knew it well, so he had to deal with it seriously.

"I'm promiscuous. How long will the king plan to keep Xuanhu?"

"What do you think?"

"King, it's important to talk about serious matters."

Yuwen Wen snorted and put away his smile. This move made Wang Yun feel much more at ease. When Zhang Yu, who was standing beside Yuwen Wen, saw that he wanted to talk about serious matters, he signaled the other guards to retreat to avoid the trouble.

"I plan to follow Wei Xiaokuan to guard the jade bi, forcing Yuchi Dun to retreat sadly, so it is not a question of how long it can be defended, but how to find a way to make the other party suffer heavy casualties."

"I have read the information given by the king yesterday. Please forgive me for saying that many city defense measures are just a matter of paper."

Wang Xu did not deliberately exaggerate. He entered the city yesterday and showed Yuwen Wen the determination to serve in the army. The other party gave him a lot of information and said that he would talk about it after reading it. Now, he had to tell me why.

The detailed information provided by Yu Wenwen gave Wang Wang a clear understanding of the current situation of Xuanhu. After Yu Wen entered Xuanhu at night, he had been strengthening the city defense. The efforts over this period of time determined whether the Anzhou army could defend Xuanhu under the attack of the enemy's superior forces.

There are many measures and means that Wang Jun has never heard of. He even dared to be sure that these methods of defending the city are unprecedented.

Judging from the text description, it seems that the actual effect will be good, but Wang Jun felt that it was because no one had used it before, so the effect was questionable. He opened the booklet and began to ask questions.

The decisions made by Yuwen Wen are basically difficult to change. Wang came late and was unable to participate in the decision-making. So what he can do now and what Yuwen Wen needs him to do is to use another perspective as a questioner to deduce offense and defense.

In other words, Yuwen Wen also means taking the exam for Wang Na.

So Wang Zhao did not dare to slack off. He did not sleep all night and read at night. At this time, he was already confident and began to attack Yu Wen Wen: "The king, my subordinates believe that it is quite difficult for the government army to implement the so-called food rationing system in Xuanhu."

"How can I see it?"

"If the enemy sieges the city, the supply of materials will inevitably be tight. For the soldiers in the city, they will not suffer from poverty or inequality..."

"What does join the army mean is that my rewards and punishments are unknown?"

"No, the king should implement food rationing and minimize food consumption. It is necessary to strictly limit the daily rations of the soldiers. However, the defenders divided the Anzhou army and the surrendered Yuzhou army. The king should treat everyone equally and treat them equally, which will actually make some people feel unfair..."

......

"Who is talking to the Great King?"

"Go back to Yang, that was the King of the Xiyang Palace, who was in charge of the affairs of the office."

"oh..."

Yang Su nodded and stopped to watch. He did not report to King Xiyang as he originally thought. It was not an urgent matter anyway, so it would be OK to talk about it later, but what the officials around him said just now reminded him of the past.

The assistant officials of the royal palace were the ones who joined the army. The so-called "lei Cao" were Gongcao, Military, Shuicao, Hucao, Cangcao, Military, Licao, etc., and the most important of them, the ones who are trusted by the government (the vassal king) were the military officers.

The record room refers to the official in charge of the documentary. The record room in the royal palace is responsible for drafting the documentary of the vassal kings. Generally speaking, the vassal kings will appoint talented and trusted people to this position.

That year, the young Yang Su was full of confidence and was cited as a record room by King Yuwen Hu of Jin. He thought that his official career would be smooth from now on, but the result was...

Fortunately, the emperor Yuwen Yong at that time did not kill all the disciples of the King of Jin, so Yang Sucai saved his life. His life was impermanent and the past was vivid in his mind. He felt that he was over for the age of time but was still wasted, and he only sighed that time passed quickly.

Seeing that Yuwen Wen had a conversation with his record room for a long time, Yang Su asked the officials beside him to pass on the message and say he would come back soon. Then he led his followers to turn away, but did not go down the city wall, but walked forward along the city head.

The emperor left Xuanhu and went to Anlu, Nanshan. The group of people rode lightly on the road. Yang Su calculated that he should have arrived in Shenzhou today. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to arrive in Anlu safely.

His son Yang Xuangan served the emperor, and he was different from Mr. Liu and Yu's culture. He followed the emperor to Anlu as an imperial guard general. Yang Su felt that even if he encountered an unexpected situation, the incense would not be broken.

At the same time, Yang Xuangan was also a hostage, reassuring the Anzhou generals of Xuanhu and reassuring the King of Xiyang.

Others were relieved of him, Yang Su, but facing the Yuchi Dun army that was about to be at the city, even if the King of Xiyang was personally stationed in the city, Yang Su knew that many people were still worried.

However, he would not toss and turn and couldn't sleep, because the defense of Xuanhu City had been significantly strengthened. Yang Su had carefully looked at various arrangements and had confidence in protecting Xuanhu, and it was extraordinary.

King Yuwen of Xiyang, Wang Yuwen, has arranged many unheard of "fortifications" and defensive methods. Yang Su claims to have read countless military books, but has never seen such a way to defend the city in the book.

The most typical "fortification" is "covering". Yang Su watched how a bunker was built: first build a flat-top wooden shed with tree trunks, nailed it firmly with door-shaped iron nails, and then use sandbags/earth bags to build the front, left and right of the wooden shed, and the roof is also covered with sandbags.

The "cover" is supported by pillars. Such a civil and industrial "cover" can accommodate some troops. A crack is opened in front of the cover. People can observe outward through this one-foot-wide crack in the cover, or use a spear to poke outward and shoot arrows outward with a crossbow.

There are also earthen cranes on the back of the bunker, with openings on both sides for soldiers to enter and exit. Because of the clever design, it is said that it can withstand the "shock waves" and debris generated when the explosion of the sky thunder. If the explosion of the sky thunder happens to explode next to the bunker, it will not be able to hurt the soldiers in the bunker.

Yang Su didn't believe this statement at first, and then Yuwen Wen summoned the generals to observe on the spot, randomly selected a bunker, and placed a large sky-bombing thunder on the top of the bunker to detonate.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated. Although the sandbag on the top was a bit damaged, the bunker was safe and sound. The sheep tied in the bunker were still jumping around. Yang Su looked carefully in the bunker several times and found that the structure was basically intact.

The effect demonstration of the bunker not only used thunder but also used huge rocks. A stone the size of a millstone was thrown down from the head of the city, just hitting the bunker built at the foot of the wall. As a result, a muffled sound did not smash the bunker.

The generals went to the bunker to check again and found that the structure was not damaged. It was estimated that it would be fine if they were hit by a few big rocks. Everyone's confidence increased greatly. There are many similar "fortifications". Although the structure is a bit different, they are all made of sandbags/earth bags combined with wood.

Before the battle, wet the sandbags/earth bags on the surface of the bunker, and we were not afraid of fire arrows of average strength, nor were we afraid of fireballs thrown by enemy catapults. As for the thunder and stones thrown by the opponent, soldiers on the city can use various bunkers to ensure that they are not harmed.

At the same time, he could shoot arrows immediately, and use other means to attack the enemy troops attacking the city. The variety of tricks made Yang Su open his eyes.

It is said that the defenders of Fangcheng, Jingzhou, have used similar "fortifications", so they remained stable under the siege of the enemy. On the side of Xuanhu, King Yuwen of Xiyang was personally in charge, and there were many more ways to retreat to the enemy.

Since Yu Wen succeeded in attacking Xuan Hu, he immediately organized people to repair the city wall and various defensive "fortifications", so now...

Yang Su looked around and looked at the scene in Xuanhu City with a strange layout. He couldn't help but sigh a lot. He had seen the skills of King Xiyang with his own eyes. He originally wanted to advise Yu Wenwen to stockpile more firewood in addition to stocking up grain, but the other party had already made arrangements in advance.

If you want to make suggestions to strengthen the foundation of the city wall, the other party has arranged for people to do it. If you want to make suggestions to dig deep wells in the city, build high platforms to store grain and grass to prevent water attacks, the other party has already considered it.

Even the pits for burying the bodies were ready, and in order to prevent fire attacks, almost most of the buildings in the city have been renovated and turned into bunkers made of sandbags/earth bags and wood.

There are still many transformations that have never been heard of. Yang Su felt that he was indeed a bet: he felt that Yuwen must have a good hand in military equipment, hiding secret weapons such as trenchers and thunder in the past, which was enough to make up for the gap in strength and gain a foothold under the full attack of Yuchi.

Yang Su did not see the "secret weapon" of Yuwen's family, but the numerous "fortifications" made people feel confident. Now Yuwen Wen appointed Yang Su as one of the generals guarding the city. He decided to take a good look at how the other party used an isolated city to fight against Yuchi Dun's 100,000 troops.

Yuwen Wen wanted to turn Xuanhu into a second jade bi to consume Yuchi Dun's main army. Yang Su deeply felt this. If Yuwen Wen was so angry that he wanted to launch a sneak attack to retreat to the enemy, he decided that the other party would not listen to his advice and let him go quickly, and there was no need to accompany a madman to die.

Yang Su was thinking about defending the city when he suddenly heard a loud horn, which was a warning horn, indicating that there was an enemy situation outside the city.

Yang Su looked up to the north and saw dust flying on the horizon, as if a flood was overwhelming south, pounced towards Xuanhu City, and the Anzhou army whistle cavalry wandering outside the city retreated toward the city.

When he picked up the Qianli Mirror, Yang Su could barely see countless flags emerging in the dust in the view of Qianli Mirror. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a banner to cover the sun. He led troops all year round, and he could roughly see the scale of the opponent's troops.

Forward, cavalry, more than 3,000.

These cavalry are opening the way, and what follows must be the main army.

The head of the Yuchi family finally led his troops to the Xuanhu City.
