The instructions Liu Xuanzuo received were the version suggested by Pei Yanling:

Gao Yue's military rations are about to be cut off. You brought 5,000 stones of grain in the name of reinforcements. If this is the case, you will take the opportunity to surrender and annex Dingwu, and the two armies of Yining capture Gao Yue and send him to Taiyuan Prefecture. If this is not the case, you will take the opportunity to seize Gao Yue and capture Funing Village. Then the Taiyuan shogunate can force him to death.

Liu Xuanzuo thought about such meticulous operations and found that the whole world had the capital and ability to complete it.

Who else can be me!

However, when the 20,000 Xuanwu Army was waiting for the 20,000 Xuanwu Army, followed by the three or four thousand Baoda and Jingsai Army, who transported grain (trading and selling at the same time), passed through Tuyanchuan, then to Suide City, and then to Longquan City. Soon, when he really came to Funing on the west bank of the middle reaches of Wuding River, Liu Xuanzuo climbed up to a high place and looked away, and couldn't help but be shocked:

Five miles away, the military camps of the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army were extremely strict. Among them, the Dingwu Army also built a middle base and four front, back, left and right base, high tree-tooth flags and stanchions, a granary, military capital warehouse, and the remaining four bases were surrounded by sanitation. They were well guarded, and all the trenches were equipped with wooden fences. They carried supplies in and out of each road, and there were endless signs of shortage of food and money.

Liu Xuanzuo also overlooked that the Yining Army's camp was in the east, forming a huge crescent shape, with various colors of vehicles as the outer periphery, and there were barriers inside, just along with the Wuding River, forming an encirclement of Funing Village. A one-and-a-half-mile corridor was built between the two camps of the Tang Army, with earthen walls and trenches on both sides, and beacon fires and garrisons guarding them. War horses and vehicles could be passed through the corridor.

From time to time, the barriers in the Yining Army would tremble, making loud noises of earth shaking, spewing out balls of fireworks and thick fog, and then Funing Village would be shaking the same. That should be the so-called large musket used for siege, which used the explosive power of the ignition medicine to shoot out huge projectiles, destroying the city walls and buildings with the most effective way.

"This, what's going on!" Liu Xuanzuo and his generals Liu Chang, Li Wanrong and others looked at each other, and the confidence in their hearts disappeared when they saw this situation.

Not to mention arresting Gao Yue, everything will be fine if Gao Yue doesn't come to arrest them.

At this time, a fierce cavalry suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain where Liu Xuanzuo was. He attacked the first young military general and asked if he was Liu Situ?

Liu Xuan sat down and replied yes.

The young man dismounted and told him that he was the commander of the lord, the commander of the lord, Yuhou Li Xian, Li Xian, of the commander under the command of the lord of Qi.

"It turns out to be the son of Li Sheng." Liu Xuanzuo thought to himself.

"Situ is here for a long time, Rong went to report to Mr. Qi to see him." Li Xian said intentionally.

When Li Xianchi went to Zhonglei and told Gao Yue about the arrival of Xuanwu Army, Gao Yue laughed loudly and in front of all the staff and generals, "No need to see Situ now. After the entire army took down Funing Village in front of Situ, it would be better to meet him!"

Then Gao Yue asked his generals to report on the progress of the siege.

This time, nearly 10,000 party-enxiang resistance in Funing Village was quite tenacious, and the Qiang people also learned about war in the war. After they knew that the Tang army's cannons used fired projectiles to destroy the city wall, they dug earth behind the wall to ram the wall, filling the branches and wool in the middle of the two walls, nearly doubled the original city wall, making the Tang army's cannon unable to penetrate. Every time the Tang army fired a cannon, they still knew how to hide in the dug pit, because shells rarely fall in, greatly reducing casualties.

However, the Tang army, which took the initiative in the battlefield, was even better. After clearing the Qiang villages on the periphery, they approached to dig trenches to Funing Dazhai, built small buildings, raised light artillery high, and intensively shot Dangxiang's water draw method, and used stone throwing machines to smash the Jingquan in the city. Because the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army's current food were enough to support, they were all waiting to triumphantly to get the reward of 300,000 guan with an additional 30% interest, so they fought very fiercely.

In the end, Funing City was shaking and only the last breath was left, but Dangxiang inside refused to surrender. They were more afraid of being slaughtered, and they were afraid of being sold as slaves. It was better to just stand it to the end.

At this time, Liu Xuanzuo came, and Gao Yue was about to concentrate the elite forces of the two armies to jump, climb first, and conquer Funing in front of Xuanwu Army, and slap Liu Situ loudly!

But at this moment, a "Dangxiang Monk" named Xifeng Yishi asked for a visit, saying that he could let Funing open the city without blood.

"What else is there to see at this time? Is it a way to delay the army? If he wants to plead for Dangxiang in the city, he might as well wait until the city is behind!" At first, Gao Yue did not agree, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give this time called moving the rat for one day and let someone take him into the camp.

In addition, Zhou Ziping, a man with long hair, led a man with long hair to the tent. Gao Yue was slightly surprised to see the legendary "Small Seal Mouse" and said that this person was really similar to the one in some portraits, with long hair, cool beard, and artistic melancholy eyes.

The Xifengyishishi has been very popular in the Qiang land in the north recently, and there are more and more followers: the ethnic groups in despair are indeed rampant in religion. In particular, there are mostly barren deserts around Tongwan City. It is not surprising that Gao Yue will not be surprised if there are any kind of religions in the depths of the desert.

This time, Xifeng Zhima was coming to visit him, and his purpose was very simple. He advised nearly 10,000 besieged in Funing Village to surrender to the Tang army and save his life, on the condition that Gao Yue promised that he could preach in the entire Baiyushan area from now on.

"You..." Gao Yue looked at Feng Yishimo and couldn't help it, and finally blurted out, "I don't know if Ling Zun, Ling Tang's surname Gao?"

Ming Huaiyi and Ye Shi Liangbi next to him used Dangxiang Tu dialect to convey Gao Yue's meaning.

Xifeng Yimo replied that his father was the adult of Danxiang Xifeng Fanluo, and his mother was the daughter of the adult of guessing Fanluo.

I never heard that his father was a Zijian, nor that his mother was pregnant with a virgin. Gao Yue's heart calmed down a little, so he asked Moe, "Why don't you let Tuoba Chaohui, who is in charge of the city, directly surrender to me?"

"Everything is the will of Emperor Tian, ​​and it is not the turn of Tong Wancheng yet." Yimo said.

Di Tian? It seems that this mouse has created a religious concept, and Gao Yue is a little hesitant - can this son stay, or can't he keep it?

Then Gao Yue pondered and asked again: "In your opinion, are we good or evil?"

"Good and evil are just personal false views. In my eyes, there is only the difference between faith and disbelief." Mouse crossed his fingers and clasped his hands and replied, "Believe is light, and if you don't believe, you will fall into darkness."

"Go, it seems that this guy has mixed Manichaeism in it." Gao Yue became interested at this time. He thought that this mover might as well keep it for the time being to see what sect he would develop.
