Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

"Have you found out what caused the war in Yili City?" Qin Juan, who had been silent all this time, asked suddenly.

Andonima heard the sound and looked over, it was this child.

At the beginning of the banquet, he noticed this child, a handsome child, who doesn't like to talk, eats whatever he gives, his eyes are deep but clear, his eyebrows are elegant, his ears are bigger than his eyebrows, his forehead is beautiful, and his face is full of wisdom. Should be a very smart kid.

Said: "He sent me here, the cavalry of the Jihab camp."

Andonima nodded and saluted, Qin Juan returned the salute.

Andonima immediately understood that the child was a Han. There were many Hans here, but most of them were from the Jin Kingdom. He didn't know that Qin Juan was from the Song Dynasty.

Speaking of the destruction of Yili City, Andonima frowned: "My people found out that it was caused by a gambler."

"Oh."

Qin Juan, Yueyue, and Jibuza all looked over.Obviously, the answer is puzzling.

"A gambler fled to Yili City under the control of the Great Yin tribe. The people of the Great Yin tribe did not cooperate. The people who came looking for this gambler could not find anyone. They killed several Great Yin people, and the Dayin people killed the dozen or so people. a troublemaker, and then started a war."

"This gambler has never appeared again?" Yue Ri asked with a half-smile.

Andonima nodded.

"This is too much." Qin Juan couldn't help cursing.

Yue Yue asked with a smile: "It's not a fool, so who does Mr. Anduo suspect?"

Andonima: "I don't dare to do it, I just think it's most likely a divorce scheme by the Tata people."

Tata, also known as him, is the abbreviation of the ancient Tata tribe. No one can tell where they came from.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos.After the Huangchao Uprising, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms ushered in the prelude to the troubled times. The Guzhitata people took the opportunity to occupy Suiye City in the Western Regions, the birthplace of Li Bai, and then migrated eastward to the westernmost plain of Dayin Mountain during the Khitan period.

Until Yelu Dashi established Xiliao, Guzhitata moved northward and hid itself, and after the Mongols rose and wiped out Xiliao, Guzhitata was completely driven out of the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang.

However, Guzhi Tata has been harassing the Mongols and often looting when they are short of supplies, and the herdsmen have suffered greatly.

"That's right, my son said long ago that the people of the Dayin tribe don't have the brains to play discord and form alliances." Rinpoche rubbed his chin and laughed.

Andonima hadn't figured out the temperament of the prince in front of him after answering for so long, so seeing him laughing, she didn't dare to continue talking.

Ji Buza couldn't help but asked: "Since it is suspected to be a misunderstanding, why didn't you send envoys to negotiate to end the war?"

Qin Juan lowered his brows and eyes. He thought of this question just now, but since Andonima can find out, he must have sent envoys, so there is only one possibility. The people of Dayin believe in Guzhitata people's words.

"Could it be that Guzhi Tata pretended to be the Mongolian army and attacked Yili, and formed a death feud." Qin Juan said in a low voice.

After a meal every day, I understood in my heart: it is very possible.But he didn't speak, and he didn't agree.

There was silence in the hall, and after a while, Andonima ordered the dancers and maidservants to retreat.

At this time, someone from outside the hall came to report: "Master Ando! The Sirius Army is attacking the city again!"

"Go to resist first, and I will arrive later. Continue to send people to inquire about the news of Lord Ning Bai's reinforcements, and inform this officer as soon as there is news." Andonima hurriedly ordered.

Said: "Master Ando take me to the tower."

Ando was taken aback: "Yes."

Husi Ordu Tower, only the Sentinel Tower is in the form of an earthen fortress, and the city wall and the main building are high walls built in imitation of the Han people's city walls.

High walls are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Genghis Khan attacked Jin Guozhong for many years and could not break through for a long time. It is precisely because of the extremely high walls of Jin Guo that Genghis Khan looked everywhere for people of all ethnic groups who could build cannons.

After the entire Jin Kingdom was breached, Genghis Khan's captives included not only the current Prime Minister Yelu, but also skilled craftsmen from the Jin Kingdom who could build extremely high walls.

And Husi Ordu City became the main place where Genghis Khan verified these skilled craftsmen, and even the city walls here did not disappoint Temujin.

This is also the reason why the Sirius army has not attacked for more than a month.

However, no matter how impregnable the city wall is, there will be times when it will be breached.

Otherwise, the fool will not destroy the gold.

Prince Yiwen stood at the dark entrance of the city tower, looking at the densely packed enemy army outside the city wall, a little dizzy.

"Let the soldiers speak out and see if they are willing to exchange envoys." Yue Yue said to Andonima.

Andonima immediately went to make arrangements, but the caller was interrupted by the arrows after a few words.The Sirius Army did not give them a chance to continue talking.

"Keep shouting." Yueyue ordered, "Tell them a brief summary of the matter, and keep shouting until you are shot to death." Although Qin Juan felt speechless, it was still a solution.Prince Yiwen's thoughts are always different from ordinary people...

The tower shouting has two functions, the most direct function is to make the Sirius Army believe that they are "wronged", understand that this is a conspiracy, and the second is that if the Sirius Army cannot believe them, it can still divide the Sirius army. Army heart.

Andonima didn't expect that the Sirius Army didn't withdraw this time, they fought until late at night, and the sound of fighting outside the city continued.

If the Mongolian cavalry and skirmishers outside the city gate cannot win, they will retreat to the city gate, and if they withdraw the Sirius army, they will attack the city gate... This cycle has been repeated dozens of times.

Fortunately, the city is impregnable, and it has not been conquered by the Sirius Army so far.

"How long can we last without support?" Qin Juan couldn't help asking.

"There is no problem with the supplies in the city for another month." Master Andor replied.

Qin Juan calculated in his mind that Ning Bai's people should also arrive, and the Sirius Army might not necessarily win, unless the Sirius Army transferred back the 10 people who attacked General Xuebietai to attack Husi Ordu City.

However, he can also understand the thinking of the Sirius Army. The speed at which the Mongols responded is astounding. The two camps closest to Husi Ordu City are the Jihabu Camp and General Xuebietai’s Torrey King’s Camp. .

The Jihab camp where he was located was attacked, and the Sirius Army felt that there was nothing to fear, so they sent half of their troops to contain General Xuebietai's troops, so that they could concentrate on attacking Husiordu City. The ears were under siege, and Ying Yuan couldn't keep up. The idea was good, but they didn't consider that Husi's ears were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In terms of geographical location, if Husi Ordu is lost, it is equivalent to losing the western and northern parts of the Dayin Mountains, the Chuhe River Basin, the Yisikuan Lake, and even the Yilie River Basin... This used to be the capital of Xiliao and then it was lost. When Genghis Khan was destroyed, the significance of this city is not trivial, which can also be seen in the establishment of the country of Xiliao here.

Qin Juan also vaguely knew that this city had a special meaning or memory for the days of Prince Yiwen's son.But he will not forget that after the Jihabu camp was attacked, the first time Riyue did not intend to flee east to Husi Ordu, but went south to find the Mongolian camp.

So why is that?

Or the son of Prince Yiwen... he knew he was a big problem at all.Thinking of this, Qin Juan frowned slightly.

It must be like this.

"Report-Master Ando, ​​the city gate can no longer be guarded, do you want to withdraw..." The soldier knelt on the ground panting.

"Bastard!" Ando kicked the soldiers away, "Hold on! If you die, you will die! If you can't, you will die!"

"Have you not received the news of Lord Ning Bai's reinforcements yet? How long will it be!"

"No..."

"roll!"

"What should we do now?" a soldier asked.

"What else can I do, fight." Riri said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.It's been so long, the reinforcements should come even if they are climbing. He suspects that Ning Bai's thief is avenging his own private revenge. He doesn't understand how his father offended these gang of thieves. I hope he won't hurt his uncle and cousin...

When they were burning with anxiety, Qin Juan's voice suddenly came: "How many people are fighting, how many people are there in each city gate, and how many people are still not on the battlefield."

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the soldiers in the dark entrance of the tower looked at him.

Andonima did not doubt that he was there, and replied: "All the soldiers in the city are defending at the four gates. Here, the north gate receives the most enemies, and the south gate suffers the least. The east and west gates are about the same..."

"How many people are there at the South Gate?" Qin Juan asked again.

Lord Ando was stunned: "The enemy should have close to ten thousand people, and we have about four thousand."

After hearing this, Qin Juan thought for a moment, then looked at him and said, "I have a plan."

Yueyue smiled and said, "Let's listen to it."

Qin Juan was so annoyed by his grinning look, as if he was teasing a cat or a dog.

He lowered his eyebrows slightly and said: "Move 4000 people from the south of the city and 3000 people will go out through the gate we entered in the south of the city, and 3000 people will detour to the north gate to pretend to be reinforcements, wave the flag and shout that we have 10 people... wait for them to lose their morale. , the morale of the generals in the northern city will definitely be boosted, and of course this matter must be hidden from our own people who are fighting inside and outside the city, and when they hear that the reinforcements are coming, they must have full confidence to fight."

Not to mention, this was demonstrated by Ayiga, the "Great Victory of the Ancient Beacon", when he was on his first mission. He remembered it clearly, and he felt that this move should be easy to use.

After hearing this, Yue Yue laughed and said, "It's a good idea."

But there are also soldiers who think that Qin Juan is a child's play. They now have 8000 people left in the north gate, and the three thousand reinforcements from the south gate are only [-]. There are [-] Sirius troops outside.

"The Sirius Army is not a fool! Can't they tell the difference between 3000 people and 10 people?" The opponents said angrily, "If they are ganged up, all the people in this city will be ruined! I won't take people from a city." Gamble with your life! I suggest withdrawing!"

"If you are not fully sure, such a risky move is like a game, and the bet is the lives of all the people in the city... The price is too high..." Andonima hesitated for a while and said, "But if the bet wins Yes, the benefits brought are also very great, I appreciate the courage and resourcefulness of this little brother, but..."

Dayi interrupted him: "There's nothing left to do, it's too late, I trust him, Andonima, go and pick some trustworthy people to take Qin Juan to the south of the city."

Qin Juan looked at him and said, "What about you?"

Yue Yue squinted his eyes and smiled; "Of course this son is here waiting for Qin Lang to return in triumph!"

"..." Qin Juan really wanted to punch this man to Yisikuan Lake next door!
