Chapter 159
The Liu family was happy. Although they could not have amnesty for the whole world, all tenants in Sanliu Village were exempted from rent this year. Although Liu Feiyun never harsh tenants and had little rent, even if there was less, the move of rent exemption instantly won everyone's cheers.
This rent is actually nothing to Liu Feiyun, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t want it all, but free things always make people not know how to cherish them. Occasionally, they will make people understand the hard-earned meanings more.
With lights and a big banquet, Sanliu Village is very lively. Guests are coming one after another. This is a great opportunity to get close to Liu Feiyun. Even if you can't get along with the relationship, it's a good idea to leave an impression.
Liu Feiyun was very happy today. He had been drinking a lot today, and his body couldn't bear it.
When he woke up the next day, Lin Yuxue was taking care of him. He blamed him: "Xiaoxue, why do you do this? Sit down and rest. You are pregnant now and don't be tired."
Lin Yuxue asked Liu Feiyun to pull him down, while her husband listened with his head against her belly. She said coquettishly: "Brother Yun, it's not long before you look so stupid, your belly hasn't bulged yet, so how can you move?"
"Get up, wash up and eat. I drank a lot of wine yesterday, which is not good for my health."
Liu Feiyunyan followed the plan and smiled and said, "Listen to Xiaoxue, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, Brother Yun should wash up quickly."
Because Lin Yuxue is pregnant, Liu Feiyun doesn't want to leave home. Anyway, everything has been arranged, even if there is really something that cannot be decided, just go to his own village to say it.
He simply stayed at home. With the second child, he could not neglect the first child. He should deepen the father-son family relationship.
As the days passed, Yuyang County became more and more stable. After the influx of refugees some time ago, there were fewer refugees now.
After all, most of the refugees in a place come from surrounding areas, and there will be a limit after all. It is impossible for even the places in the northwest to come across thousands of mountains and rivers. This is no longer a matter of perseverance.
However, although there are fewer and fewer refugees, there are always some people who are ignorant of their lives and death. They blindly believe in their own strength and try to come to Yuyang County to find a sense of existence.
Unfortunately, they had just appeared on the way to Yuyang County, and their information was clearly placed in front of Liu Feiyun's table.
"It's interesting. This little warlord dares to attack Yuyang County with 100,000 troops, not to mention that most of them are recruiting refugees. I really think that a small number of people can be considered an army."
Looking at the news about the owner of this army, Liu Feiyun sneered in his heart. He was a great gentry who tried to fight for a bigger family in the troubled times and wanted to transform from a gentry into a royal family.
Zi did not say that the power of the emperor was in chaos. They raised the righteousness of the emperor's power and heavenly gifts, but what they thought was that anyone could do it. After all, the change of dynasties for thousands of years was not promoted by our gentry.
"In today's chaotic times, my Yu family raised their arms and shouted, and millions of people responded, which is the destiny of heaven." Yu Zhan, the chief general who attacked Yuyang County, looked at the mighty army behind. Except for some of them, they were all composed of their own private soldiers, the rest were made up of the people's training.
In fact, what is called destiny is just that the people cannot survive and their families use money and food to buy them. Perhaps the army formed by these people will have great combat power, but once they are there
At the disadvantage, the aristocratic families cannot afford food and clothing, and they will not have any resilience.
Although the opponent was not very good, the lion fought against the rabbit and did his best. Liu Feiyun would not underestimate him. He immediately mobilized most of the troops of Yunzhong County. Because the Yu family's army came from the split Xihao country, Yuyang County was the first to be hit when invading.
"Sir." Liu Wei came to Liu Feiyun's place to report as soon as he came back.
"Well, it's good that Anran will come back. I guess the reason for letting you come back this time must have known." Liu Feiyun smiled and said, General was killed in a hundred battles. Although he had the ability to reduce their chances of death in battle, who could avoid accidents?
Liu Wei nodded: "Secretary knows, sir, should we take the initiative to attack or defend the city? If we take the initiative to attack, the opponent will be just a group of mobs who have not been trained for a long time. It is no problem to use the terrain to attack and defeat them."
Liu Feiyun did not agree with his point of view: "It's better to defend the city, wait for work to reduce some losses."
"The official understands that I will set up my defense later."
"Well, I'm still relieved of this. How hard it is."
"It should be." The two of them compliments each other, and Liu Wei stepped down to arrange the situation. The soldiers were very fast. Although the other party was still quite a distance, the earlier they were arranged, the more detailed and thoughtful the arrangement was, so that the casualties could be reduced as much as possible.
"You, you, and you... You will take over the city defense today. You cannot let go of any omission. With the same deployment as Yunzhong County, others will take turns to change their posts to ensure that they will be closely guarded for twelve hours."
Next, Liu Wei pointed to another person and said, "All spies will scatter, strictly control all channels of Yuyang County, and monitor the enemies that will be invaded. This time the enemy is coming in full force, so we must not be careless at all. The people of the whole county are watching us."
Liu Wei did not tell the truth that he had already known, and he was afraid that his group of subordinates would slack off because of this.
The generals heard the solemnity of their ancestors, their faces sternly, and said loudly: "Here."
The enemy's march was not fast. Half a month passed when they reached the border of Yuyang County, and the sun in the sky slowly began to heat up, and Lin Jingchan became more and more impatient. Fortunately, it was covered by dense forests and the saltpeter ice making method that had been used these days, but it had little impact.
"Hurry up, bring everything up, and keep an eye on the other party's every move." Liu Wei kept directing.
The enemy army had only one goal, that was to capture Yuyang County. As for the surrounding affiliated counties, it did not have much strategic significance and could not affect the war against Yuyang County. Therefore, as long as you conquer Yuyang County, it would be equivalent to taking over the entire Yuyang County.
The storm came in a mighty way and attacked the city. As an experienced gentry, Yu Zhan did not only know how to talk about war on paper, he prepared very well. In the absence of money and food, siege vehicles, catapults, crossbows, and other heavy siege weapons were transported to this remote Yuyang County without any effort. He wanted to tell the world with practical actions that Yuyang County was not as terrible as imagined.
However, the only one that is truly threatening to Yuyang County is the siege car. If the city gate is broken, the advantage of the city will no longer exist. The other ones seem fierce, but as long as you stick to the city, their power will be average.
How to deal with the attacking car Liu Feiyun has long given a solution: using fire attack and tinder oil. Even if it cannot be burned, it can burn it hot and cannot be used normally.
Of course, if it is really unstoppable, I will try my best to prevent the next one
Bo, and then sent Liu Yi and others to infiltrate to destroy these siege equipment.
"Shoot, shoot me, and the siege car is up and shot first. You must never let it get close to the city gate."
"Be careful to avoid it, don't let the catapult hit it."
...
Liu Wei kept running, checking for the missing, and constantly instructing the soldiers guarding the city.
Perhaps the other party did not expect to take Yuyang County at one time, and the first attack was not so fierce. After paying a considerable price, he saw that the guards of Yuyang County were strong and could not be taken down for the time being, so he chose to withdraw his troops at the right time and build a camp to look for the next opportunity.
When the enemy retreated, Liu Wei and others did not cheer. This was not fortunate, because the enemy did not hurt the enemy and did not really retreat, they would come.
In the following days, the enemy continued to test, attacked the city head-on, attacked secretly, verbally swearing the enemy, and even deliberately defeated and lured the enemy. Various strategies emerged one after another, and some of them were not bad. Unfortunately, under strict defense and tenacious battles, they all returned in vain.
Yu Zhan was not discouraged by every defeat. Anyway, he was testing the opponent's strength, knowing himself and his opponent, and when he was in a real decisive battle, he would definitely win in one battle.
Thinking of taking Yuyang County, a place where everyone avoids taboos, and its reputation will rise slowly, more people will definitely come to invest at that time, and the Yu family will definitely be able to surpass many forces and have a chance to win the championship.
"This time, the enemy's plan is exhausted, and people will take turns to attack the city in batches. Don't give the other party any chance to breathe. When the smoke rises in the end, it will be the time for us to attack the city." Yu Zhan ordered the generals in the big tent.
"Here."
The sound of killing sounds came again, coming and going, and it seemed tragic, but some of the signs were intriguing.
Liu Wei didn't care at first, and soon felt that the enemy's actions of siege seemed familiar. Isn't it a method that their county magistrate once used?
He smiled, wanting to know if the other party was doing what he thought, just use the trick and follow their wishes.
Let everyone guard the city in batches and rest the rest. There is no need to do all the effort in this attack level, just don’t make the other party feel that they have noticed the other party’s intentions.
The sun was so sunny that it was "tired" for an afternoon. It was time to make a fire and make rice to replenish your energy. I saw smoke rising from the cooking stove, as if the fragrance was boiling.
In the forest not far outside the city gate, Yu Zhan led his troops here, always watching the situation on the city wall. They had already rested and had a full meal, looking forward to the moment when they captured Yuyang County.
Before, Yu Zhan had fully mobilized everyone's fighting spirit. People like them knew the hearts of these people, including food and clothing, land, money, and status. As long as they attacked Yuyang County, they promised that those who made great contributions would all be able to own them.
"Come! Siege!"
With a command, the soldiers led the way, while Yu Zhan waited for the shouts of victory at the end, and then entered Yuyang County with the welcome of the soldiers.
Unfortunately, the dream is very beautiful.
On the city tower, Liu Wei and others looked carefully at the things below, and did not dare to show off too much. A fire rose behind them and a large pot was set up. However, what was cooked was not rice, but rolling oil and water.
When the enemy ladders up the city wall, they still did not show up, they were waiting for more enemies to approach the city wall.
