    Fang Jinshi returned to his residence and expressed his merits to Liang Cuirong: "I asked Brother Zhang Zong'e for some weapons and arrow feathers to give to your father, so that I could earn some face for you to come back." Liang Cuirong looked at him in disbelief and said, "Really  Did you take the initiative to ask for it?"

    Fang Jinshi felt guilty, so he walked over and hugged her and said with a smile: "Of course it's true. Write a letter quickly and send someone to deliver it to him. I'll bring someone to deliver it to him personally in the morning."

    Liang Cuirong did not investigate whether he wanted it or Zhang Zong'e took the initiative to give it to him. He wrote a letter to his father Liu Chengchuan and sent a Liao soldier to deliver it overnight.

    Early on the next morning, Zhang Zong'e's troops and Jin Tongda's Fu Xuan and Wang Duxian packed up their gear and headed for Longgu Pass via a long way over the mountains. However, Qin Gan's Yundongshan troops were changing in one place.  In difficult-to-defend and dangerous places, we began to build fortifications and prepare for a long-term stay.

    Fang Jinshi and Chen Lujun brought the troops who came with them, and the more than 200 female soldiers followed Zhang Zong'e's troops back, so there are only about a thousand people now. They will prepare the batch of weapons for Yunnei Prefecture City  They were loaded on donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages. The thirty or so men in yellow clothes led by Song Qian loaded the ten crossbows and two Wannuo wheels together and set off for the Yunnei Prefecture.

    When walking through the mountain pass and passing the fortress built by Qin Ganshan, Fang Jinshi said to Chen Lujun: "Brother Chen, do we want to visit Qin Gankai?" Chen Lujun said: "I just came down from his place not long ago.  , there is no need to go up the mountain anymore." Fang Jinshi nodded and let his horse go. He said to Chen Lujun: "Although the Jin soldiers are powerful, they cannot knock down the Yunnei Prefecture in one go. Qin Dare  I¡¯m afraid the people who drove it won¡¯t be able to stay here for long.¡±

    Chen Lujun asked curiously: "Why?" Fang Jinshi said: "Because he didn't have so much food for his two thousand men and horses to consume for a long time. They didn't bring much to begin with, so they gave some to the Jin soldiers.  There aren¡¯t many people around, so there¡¯s no room to rob.¡±

    Chen Lujun thought about it. What Fang Jinshi said was very simple, but he always failed to notice these details. It's no wonder that Fang Jinshi could come up with a solution but he could only worry.

    This time they came to Yunnei Prefecture again, it was no different than last time. Chen Lujun sent a lot of spies to investigate all the way. Jin Bingzheng's brigade gathered at Ningren County and the capital of Yunnei Prefecture.  On the vast shallow mountainous loess ground inside and outside, Jin soldiers and Shi Bin's armies faced each other head on. Liu Xinghu led 3,000 troops to camp on Shi Bin's left flank.

    Fang Jinshi did not dare to let the thousand men and horses meet the army head-on, so he took a detour of dozens of miles to come from the west gate of the back of Yunnei Prefecture. He was delayed by another day in the process, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that he arrived at the west gate of the capital city of Yunnei Prefecture.  .

    Liu Chengchuan got his daughter's letter early and sent Liang Cuirong's fifth brother and his youngest son Liu Xingjie to meet her at the west gate. This was a boy of only fourteen years old.  Wearing Liao uniform, he was waiting at the post station ten miles away. When he saw Liang Cuirong and Fang Jinshi, he walked over quickly and called out: "Fourth sister, brother-in-law."

    The last time Fang Jinshi met Liu Chengchuan's wives one by one, he had met this young man. He was still studying at that time, and now he was wearing a military uniform and fighting against the Jurchens. Liang Cuirong also liked her youngest brother. She got off the horse  Said: "How is daddy lately?"

    Liu Xingjie said excitedly: "Brother had a big victory last night, how can dad be okay?" Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshi asked hurriedly: "What kind of victory was there?"

    Liu Xingjie said: "My eldest brother joined forces to kill the people on Hushan Mountain. They attacked the camp last night when the Golden Dog had just arrived and their foothold was not stable. They killed and wounded thousands of Jin soldiers. Now the Jin soldiers have retreated ten miles."

    Fang Jinshi was startled, but he had never expected that the Jin soldiers captured Datong Prefecture in Xijing, Liaoning, and Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing, and even captured Yelv Dashi. They were so rustic that they did not release Yunnei Prefecture, which only had more than 10,000 people.  In their eyes, although Shi Bin's 7,000 troops stood in front of them, the Jin soldiers regarded them as bandits who could not fight in the past. They did not expect that Shi Bin had defeated the Jurchens a few years ago, and they did not take these Jurchens seriously.  There, one or two thousand of his men were from Song Jiang's old tribe, and they once roamed the Song Dynasty with great authority. Shi Bin had been fighting for many years. Seeing the arrogance of the Jin soldiers, Shi Bin and Liu Xinghu attacked the camp at night and killed more than 2,000 Jin soldiers.  , Wanyan Zongfu was still in the rear army. He came over night and killed two Meng'an who were not well defended. He ordered to retreat ten miles temporarily. Since the Jin soldiers entered the Liao Dynasty, they had never suffered such a boring loss from the beginning. However, after  After this loss, Jin Bing began to really pay attention to Yunnei Prefecture.

    Fang Jinshi looked at the young man's happy expression, but he knew that this was just a small victory, which only dampened the Jin Bing's spirit. The real cruel war would begin later. He smiled and said to Liu Xingjie: "Brother, it's really  That¡¯s amazing, did your father ask you to wait for us here?¡±

    Liu Xingjie smiled and said: "Dad asked me to come here early this morning to wait for my fourth sister and brother-in-law. He said he asked my brother-in-law to take care of the people."??Stay here to rest and let me take my brother-in-law to see him.  "Fang Jinshi had long thought that Liu Chengchuan would not let his thousands of troops enter the city. In fact, he did not want to bring these troops into the city. He went back to discuss with Chen Lujun and let him and the troops from Huimeng Mountain  Set up camp, bring Song money and necessary troops, and enter Yunnei Prefecture with Liang Cuirong.

    The atmosphere in Yunneizhou City was already more tense than the last time he came here. Although the shops were still open, there was almost no business. Fang Jinshi arranged Song Qian and others at the reception place under the Jiedushi Mansion, and handed over the batch of weapons.  When it got dark and someone came to invite him over, Liu Chengchuan had time to see him.

    Fang Jinshi straightened his clothes and came to the Jiedu Envoy Office with Liang Cuirong. This was the first time for him to come to such a military location. Even though Liang Cuirong was Liu Chengchuan's daughter, she had never entered the Jiedu Envoy Office before.  The two of them followed the central army of the Jiedu Envoy to a side hall in the back hall to wait. After a while, Liu Chengchuan walked in from the outside. Although he was under great pressure, he was in good spirits. Fang Jinshi and Liang Cuirong came to him  After saluting, Liu Chengchuan said: "You all should sit down and eat with me."

    Fang Jinshi and Liang Cuirong sat obediently at the small round table in the hall to eat with Liu Chengchuan. The three of them ate for a while. Fang Jinshi took the jug on the table and poured a glass of wine for Liu Chengchuan, holding it in both hands and saying:  "Father-in-law, I'd like to toast you." Liu Chengchuan took it, nodded slightly and said, "I've heard about what you've done these days. The fourth girl still has the vision. I'll hand her over to you."  Very relieved.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "Thank you father-in-law for your help." He was suddenly touched. Even though Liu Chengchuan didn't care about Liang Cuirong's mother, he paid little attention to Liang Cuirong's brother and sister. If he was Liang Cuirong's biological father after all, he had grown up as a Han soldier.  It is not easy to be a military governor of the Liao Kingdom, which only the Khitan nobles can do. Now that the Jin soldiers are attacking in large numbers, he has been in the Liao Kingdom nine times out of ten. He knows that he is isolated and helpless, but he does not surrender to the Jin Kingdom. He would rather break his jade.  Wa Quan is truly a great hero.

    Liu Chengchuan turned to look at Liang Cuirong, with a loving look in his eyes. He said lightly: "Among my eleven children, the one I feel most sorry for is your fourth brother, and the one I am most proud of is you, fourth girl."  Now, who dares to say that the daughter I gave birth to is not beautiful, and who dares to say that my daughter is not extremely smart? Now that you have a good home, dad can feel relieved."

    Liang Cuirong had no trace of resentment towards him at this time. She whispered: "Dad" Liu Chengchuan said: "Listen to me, early tomorrow morning, you will take your people and rush back to Yan'an Mansion. I will let you  The treasury will give you two thousand guan of Song Dynasty money, so you can appease your subordinates and use the rest by yourself."

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "My son-in-law is willing to take these people to help my father-in-law defend the city." Liang Cuirong also said: "Dad, we don't want your money, so we should stay and encourage the soldiers." Liu Chengchuan smiled lightly and said: "You guys  As long as you have this intention, if the Jin soldiers besiege the city in a few days and you can't leave even if you want to, well, take your sixth sister with you tomorrow, she is too young and she is a girl."

    Fang Jinshi heard that he seemed to be arranging his funeral affairs, and knew that he had the intention to defend the city to the death. Liu Xingjie was only fourteen years old, but Liu Chengchuan asked him to defend the city together because he was a boy. Liu Chengchuan considered himself a member of the Later Han royal family, and Han Dynasty  After the great ancestor Liu Zhiyuan, even if he died, he would never bring shame to his ancestors. Just because his ancestors were like this, Shi Liao asked him to surrender personally, but he refused.

    After this meal, Fang Jinshi felt a little depressed. He went back to discuss with Liang Cuirong how to help Liu Chengchuan, but he couldn't think of any good way. Early the next morning, Fang Jinshi went to find Song Qian. His subordinates said: "Song Fifth Brother delivered those two coins early in the morning."  It¡¯s the south city gate¡¯s turn to set up tens of thousands of crossbows.¡±

    Fang Jinshi hurried to the south gate of Yunneizhou City to find Song Qian. Yunneizhou City was a city built on the edge of the grasslands. The city had high walls and deep walls. The last time it was built was by the Khitan people 20 years ago with reference to the Song Dynasty.  The city was rebuilt according to the method. The inner walls of the city were built with rammed earth. Fifty soldiers at a distance of fifty paces used their bows to shoot from a long distance. As long as one of the fifty people shot an arrow that penetrated the rammed earth without falling off, they would be torn down and rebuilt.  The huge stones used for the foundation of the city wall were transported hundreds of miles away from Xixia. The vertical stone strips of the main city wall were up to four feet wide. The reconstruction lasted four years and cost a lot. The idea at that time was to focus on preventing the Xixia and Song Dynasties.  , but did not expect that it was Jin Bing who finally arrived at the city.

    From the city to the outside, the innermost part of Yunneizhou City is the female wall. Below is the narrow place called Wengcheng. This is the last line of defense of the city. The reason why Wengcheng is called Wengcheng is because it is a very narrow and slender place.  In the corridor, once an enemy army breaks through the city gate, they must pass through the urn city before entering the city, and cross the female wall to reach the city tower. Enemy troops entering the urn city can easily be used as live targets by the bows and arrows on the city tower.

    To the outside is the city gate. The city gate of Yunneizhou is very thick and has two gates. The gate inside is called Suoguan, also known as Qianjin Gate. It is a huge stone slab weighing several thousand kilograms. Suoguan is usually lifted.  Even in wartime, he did not fall behind. It was just because the hurdles were too heavy.Once it falls down, it will take dozens of people half a day to raise it, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
