    Duan Mingyu smiled faintly: "I have never thought of it this way. Nor did I intend to only care about myself. But the Khitan clan, when faced with natural disasters and unable to make a living, wanted to invade the Central Plains from the south. This is a fact. To occupy their position and seek their own government, I  You have to plan for yourself first. Mencius said: If you are poor, you can be good for yourself. If you are rich, you can be good for the world. This is true for a gentleman. I think it should be true for the leader of a country." Looking at Duan Mingyu's retreating back, Yelu Deguang couldn't help but think.  There was a feeling of cherishing heroes in my heart. "Duan Mingyu is really a hero of the world. I am far worse." In just a few days, Yelu Deguang honestly evacuated the 80,000-strong army until no one was left, heading straight to Khitan.  He went to the capital. There, he still had to go through a battle for the palace throne. But Duan Mingyu was still here, preparing to attack Youzhou. The army no longer had to worry about the Khitan reinforcements outside. All 400,000 troops and horses were pulled to Youzhou.  Duan Mingyu led his army from the Gaoliang River to the foot of Youzhou City. They set up camp and surrounded the Youzhou City. They built forts, siege vehicles, ladders, trench bridges, artillery, trebuchets, and all kinds of other things.  There are endless siege equipment. In terms of tactics, such as digging holes in the ground, scattering leaflets, burning the city wall with fire and then pouring fire on it, hoping to break the city wall and crack it. In short, all the various siege methods familiar to the Tang army were used on Beiping City.  However, Youzhou City was well prepared and carefully deployed by Ye Lufeng. The city walls were thickened to several feet with deep ditches and high fortifications. Even Duan Mingyu's mortars, which had always been invincible, were unable to do anything. The 400,000 Tang troops were unable to do anything.  Of course, the most critical factor is still the people. There are enough defenders in Yanjing City, and they are very determined to die. Moreover, Yelufeng is very popular and popular in Yanjing City. Yelufeng is very popular in Yanjing City.  Feng guarded the city. He was fully clothed and stood guard at the top of the city while risking arrows and stones. Although many Khitan nobles in the city were a little fat and had difficulty moving and were as fat as pigs, the only thing that was stupid was their bodies. As long men on horseback  The big Khitan people are well-versed in military and military strategies. They manage all the affairs of the clan on a daily basis. Therefore, they are even more proficient in logistics and civil affairs. They allocate various resources in Yanjing City in an orderly manner without any chaos. They often  We went to the top of the city to command the battle together, and even picked up big rocks and threw them down the city. Being able to do this as a guard general and an official was a great encouragement to the morale of the army and even the people. The snow in Yanshan Mountain was as big as a goose feather.  The snow sieges the city. The red and blood-white snow renders the earth miserable and blurry. Many Tang troops have already suffered from frostbite. The manpower guarding the city is beginning to be insufficient. But Duan Mingyu can only grit his teeth and persist. All the Tang troops are also gritting their teeth and persisting.  . In half a month, the Chinese New Year will be here. Duan Mingyu frowned in his tent. If you cannot capture Youzhou City before the beginning of spring, it will leave disaster to future generations. Youzhou City cannot be recovered this time, and perhaps the entire Tang Dynasty will be over.  There is no chance to take it back. When Duan Mingyu was thinking hard about the plan to break the city, suddenly some soldiers came to report. "Your Majesty, someone in your family is here" "What. Someone is in your family. Please come in quickly.  Oh, no, I can just go by myself." Duan Mingyu was overjoyed for a moment. He ran out in the wind and snow without even putting on his coat.  "Zhao Niang, why is it you?" Duan Mingyu looked stunned. How could he?  I didn't expect it to be this little girl. I haven't seen her for a long time. She has grown into a slim girl, fifteen or sixteen years old. Her pretty face with a hint of childishness smiled far away at Duan Mingyu. "Brother Mingyu" This smile showed his trademark.  Duan Mingyu's face fell instantly. "Mr. Yang Yanguang, Zhaoniang is fooling around. You are so confused. Bring Zhaoniang to this bitter cold place" Duan Mingyu said to Yang Yanguang who was beside Yang Zhaoniang.  Yang Yanguang, with fluttering hair and a strong body, interrupted angrily, "You are an old man and I have nothing to do when I'm full. If Zhao Niang hadn't come to look for you, old man, would I have come? If Zhao Niang was allowed to  How can I feel relieved when I come alone?" "Zhao Niang, what are you doing here?" Duan Mingyu pretended to be serious and scolded with a straight face. Classmate Yang Zhao Niang would definitely not say, "I'm sorry. I miss you. So.  I'm here." Yang Zhaoniang curled her lips and said resentfully. "It's almost the Chinese New Year. I haven't even replied to my family. Sister Yanyan, Sister Junyu, and Sister Yingying all miss you very much.  .That's why you got rid of me and came to help them take a look at you. Phew. This is a letter to you" Duan Mingyu took advantage of the opportunity to go downhill. He put the letter in his pocket soothed his cold expression and pretended to be deep.  "Well, let's forget it this time. It won't be the same next time." "Okay, okay. Let's go in and talk. Brother Mingyu, didn't you say you planned to publish a book called "Water Margin" before? How are you preparing?  "Yes. You must tell me stories tonight. I have told little Aman all the stories you told me before. There is nothing left to tell" Yang Zhaoniang pulled Duan Mingyu all the way.  He entered the tent chattering nonstop, as if he wanted to finish everything he had said to Duan Mingyu during the separation. Yang Yanguang looked at his little granddaughter and finally a smile appeared on her face again. Finally he let out a long sigh. "This girl  Sigh. It seems that"But the old man had to pull his face off and I took action myself"  "Yang Zhaoniang's arrival was only temporary. The war was still going on. Duan Mingyu soon joined the war. He stayed up late every day and kept vigil, thinking hard about destroying the city.  Yang Zhaoniang couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart every time she looked at Duan Mingyu's declining figure in the tent. As the war progressed, the city ran out of wood and rolling stones. They began to demolish houses to resist. Within a few days, most of the building materials in the city were used.  It is about to be used up. There is not enough material to raise the barrier. The rocks are beaten and the rocks are rolled. The arrows are also sporadic. It is no longer possible to carry out an effective attack on the Tang army under the city. Although the ravaged city gate is also thick, it is in measure.  Under the continuous bombardment of artillery, the situation finally appeared. Then the soldiers held the wall and hit it countless times. Finally, it burst into pieces. The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted. Cheers were heard everywhere. Xu, who directed the siege,  Jing was overjoyed. He wished he could immediately wield his sword and join the battle group. So he threw all the three hundred generals around him into the battle. At the same time, he ordered people to immediately notify Duan Mingyu, who was commanding the battle remotely from a few miles away. Duan Mingyu was asked to increase his troops immediately. Defend the city.  The Khitan army also knew that once the city was broken, they would have no luck. They swarmed under the city gate and fought with the Tang army in a desperate fight. For a time, there were countless dead bodies on the ground. Soldiers from both sides stepped on the bloody corpses, waving their swords and raising their guns desperately.  They didn¡¯t dare to stop for a moment, not to mention any tricks. Kill, kill, kill. They used their lives to expand or block the time of breaking the city. The bright red blood covered the earth, but was carved by the sudden snow.  After a while, the vast white was once again dyed with bright red Duan Mingyu was overjoyed when he heard that a city gate had been broken. The weather was getting colder and colder. The supplies were obviously insufficient, leaving the army short of clothes.  Food. Now the army doesn't even have winter clothes to keep out the cold. At night, the soldiers can only hug each other to keep warm. Now many of the 400,000 soldiers have suffered from frostbite. The morale and even combat effectiveness of the army have been greatly reduced. If they don't capture Yanjing City again.  Duan Mingyu really didn't know how to let these 400,000 people spend the winter safely under Youzhou City. He couldn't say that he could only return south with a trace of regret in the end. Although the enemies in Youzhou City were brave, they were obviously more serious than today's enemies in the harsh winter.  It's scary. Duan Mingyu really didn't expect that Xu Jing could break through the city gate with such a small number of soldiers despite the abnormal reduction of soldiers. It can be seen that the defenders in the city are no longer able to protect the whole city. Duan Mingyu is happy.  I was calm in my heart. The city gate had been smashed into pieces. Even if the Khitan army recaptured the city, it was impossible to close it. I heard that a city gate was lost. Yelufeng and all the ministers in the city were panicked and hurried.  Rushing to the city gate. "Oh, the city gate is broken. Youzhou can't be defended at last. Lord Yelu, you have tried your best. There is no need to blame yourself."
