Chapter 429 Li Shimin: If You Don’t Occupy a City, You Won’t Be Eligible to Eat at the Table! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

"What kind of help does Yun Chang need?"

Li Yu didn't expect Laoguan to be so good at choosing the right time to attack. Tomorrow he would take Handan City. It was snowing heavily, and the guard couldn't even report the news.

Yue Fei said:

"Guan Erye hopes that brother Erlang can act together and drive two more excavators. After taking Handan City, they can dig wide and deep while the moat dries up. The excavated soil will be used to strengthen the city wall."

As expected of possessing the memory of the original work, Laoguan became more and more cautious in fighting.

Before the city was captured, they began to consider the issue of defense. They dug the moat and reinforced the city walls without any delay.

The excavator was easy to handle, so Li Yu agreed without saying a word:

"I am planning to purchase another batch of excavators. I will buy four of them later and bring them all to Handan. I will also transport a truck of diesel there so that Yunchang can start building the city."

When modern people talk about Laoguan, they usually think of beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou, passing five passes and beheading six generals, flooding seven armies, etc. But in fact, Guan Yu is also very strong in defense.

When guarding Jingzhou, Xiangyang, the original seat of Jingzhou, was in the hands of Cao Wei, so Guan Yu placed the seat of control in Jiangling City and built Jiangling into an unbreakable strong city with countless defensive equipment and supplies.

After the Seventh Army was flooded, even if the situation took a turn for the worse, Laoguan was not in a hurry because Jiangling could provide a steady stream of assistance.

In terms of retreating ten thousand steps, even if they were defeated, they could retreat to Jiangling without fear at all.

But against all odds, Mi Fang, who had followed Liu Bei for more than ten years before the initial stage, suddenly surrendered. The two uncles joined forces to deceive Xuande, and also defrauded Laoguan, who was originally in a good situation.

But this time I won't be fooled. Everyone around me has a common goal, and there are more than one supervisory army in the sky watching.

If someone among the forces in Qilin Village really imitates Mi Fang and rebels, it is estimated that it will attract thunders before it reaches the implementation stage.

The old mother protects others, but she is never unreasonable.

What's more, Lao Guan also has the status of a god. It was okay to trick him in the Three Kingdoms world, but now he is tricking him in another world. Isn't this because the Three Realms Demon-Suppressing Emperor has a too good temper!

Liu Xie asked:

"Brother Fei, do you need any armor or weapons?"

"No need, Qilin Village is prepared. Ou Peng also bribed the director of the weapons shop warehouse with half a pack of White Rabbit toffee, and secretly shipped out more than a thousand steel knives and hundreds of sets of armor."

Holy shit, you can actually steal things from the weapons shop. This guy Ou Peng is the master thief, right?

Think about how Shi Xiu, Yang Linshi and a group of them went undercover in the Zhending Mansion Arms Shop, but in the end they couldn't find any weapons, while Ou Peng single-handedly produced so many weapons.

Give him some more time, and the entire weapons workshop must not be evacuated?

False Thief: Time Change;

The real thief: Ou Peng!

Yue Fei continued:

"In addition to acquiring a lot of weapons, Ou Peng has also established a good relationship with the people in the weapons workshop. Many soldiers and craftsmen have expressed their intention to join in the rebellion."

Seeing countless high-quality steel being secretly sold to foreign races by high-ranking officials in the court, no one with a bloody heart can stand it.

Li Yu sighed in praise:

"If we can win the weapons workshop safely, we have to give Ou Peng credit... Where are San Ruan and Chao Gai? Have they made any achievements recently?"

"We have found out a lot of information. Chao Gai even became sworn brothers with a different surname to the Dutou in the county. The second master Guan was so eager to attack because the Dutou surrendered and told the city that the defense was empty. The county magistrate was eating empty wages and plundering a lot. Min Zhi Min Gao is going to give gifts and wants to be promoted to Cizhou Prefecture. "

The defense is empty, and there are many people who are preparing to give gifts. At this time, it is natural to take action.

Killing corrupt officials can win the hearts and minds of the people, and the people's support can also help the people. It's the best of both worlds!

After talking about this, Li Yu drove to the machinery market, bought four excavators, and had them delivered to a B&B. Then he bought a tanker truck, drove to a gas station, and filled it with diesel from the oil depot.

When the oil tanker stopped at the back door of the B&B, Wu Song also arrived.

He first went to Qilin Village and made an appointment with Lao Guan on a time to start. Then he drove an all-terrain vehicle to the outside of Handan City and determined the location to build the door.

After finishing these tasks, the tiger-fighting hero returned to the real world, drove back to the Hanfu Factory, and asked Hao Zhenzhen for a half-day leave.

Half a day in the real world, but at least a day and night in the book world, Handan City has already been captured, and there is even plenty of time to walk around in the city.

At noon, after eating the Linyi fried chicken cooked at the B&B, Wu Song and Yue Fei returned to the world in the book and began to prepare for the war.

Wu Song appeared directly outside Handan City, strolled in, and came to the main street in the city.

At this time, Handan City was a little small because it was not the seat of a state capital. However, it was on the official road for exchanges between the north and the south, so business exchanges were very developed. There were many Khitans with yin and yang hair on the streets and prairie people in various strange costumes.

In the middle of the street, the flow of people had obviously increased, and several carriages were even blocked on the road.

In the traffic jam, there stood a five-story building, with red flags hanging on the top of the building, with the four characters "Fengming Restaurant" written on it.

There is also a smaller flag below, which says "Authentic Xiaoqi Roast Chicken".

Obviously, Ruan Xiaoqi's roast chicken is not only very popular, but has even become a famous signature of Fengming Restaurant.

Wu Song walked in and was immediately greeted by a waiter:

"Welcome, what would you like, sir?"

"A pot of wine, a roast chicken, and two side dishes to go with the wine."

There is still some time before the fight starts, so if you have nothing to do, why not try the craftsmanship of Fengming Restaurant.

Then go find Cao Zheng and his wife and Ruan Xiaoqi to get weapons.

Well, these days, every time Cao Zheng comes back from buying food outside the city, he will bring some weapons in, and even some explosives, so that he can make some noise in the city when necessary.

When the waiter heard that he wanted roast chicken, he said with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, big brother, our roast chicken must be ordered three days in advance. We have the latest tiger skin chicken feet, which tastes different. How about giving you a taste? If it doesn't taste good, it's my fault. Just consider it as making friends."

No wonder Fengming Restaurant can be established so quickly. Even the waiter in the restaurant is so open-minded. Who doesn't like to come to such a place to spend money?

Wu Song took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to the waiter:

"How can I let you treat me? Get me four side dishes and a pot of wine. The rest is all yours."

"Okay, big brother, please wait a moment. The food and wine will be here soon."

The waiter led Wu Song to the small table by the window, put the tea bowl on it neatly, picked up the teapot and poured some first, rinsed the tea bowl, then poured the tea and went in to work.

Not long after, four side dishes were served.

There were pickled cucumbers cut like flowers, red oil ear shreds, a large and plump tiger skin chicken feet and a portion of sesame sauce gluten, all of which were dishes that Cao Zheng learned from the video and were also the specialty dishes of Fengming Restaurant.

Similar dishes can also be eaten at Fengmingxuan in Zhending Prefecture, because both Sun Xin and Cao Zheng were taught by Li Fuyu, the Holy Son of the Wa Palace.

Wu Song picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted several dishes one by one. The taste was really good, especially the pickled cucumber, which tasted sour, sweet and cold, making people feel refreshed.

Wu Song picked up the wine pot and poured some white wine into the white porcelain wine glass. This was the Shenxianzui from Qilin Village, which was about 30 degrees.

Compared with the white wine in the real world, it was not as good, but in the Song Dynasty, it was still a dimensional strike.

With superior wine, delicious dishes, and attentive service, it was hard for Fengming Restaurant not to be popular.

While eating, Ruan Xiaoqi came out of the kitchen. Seeing Wu Song, he was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a smile:

"Erlang is here, why don't you say hello, is Mr. Dai here to check the work?"

Wu Song said with a smile:

"I traveled directly to the outside of the city. I have nothing to do, so I came to taste your skills... I have confirmed with Guan Erye that we will start in the evening. Are you ready?"

"All ready, a few guys are holding red tassel spears and practicing straight stabbing at two pigs."

It's a pity that Handan has no navy, and the three Ruan's strength cannot be truly exerted. They can only be infantry generals to kill the enemy temporarily. When they go back to places with more water, the three Ruan will definitely make a big splash!

The two chatted for a while, and Cao Zheng and his wife also came out to say hello.

"Master came to Qilin Village, but I haven't visited him yet. Today is a good time to see Master."

As Lin Chong's apprentice, Cao Zheng, the knife-wielding ghost, used to be like a mouse in a bellows in the village, and was in a dilemma.

Now, Master has returned to Qilin Village, and he can breathe a sigh of relief.

It should be said that if Lin Chong had Cao Zheng's tact and scheming, he would not have fallen into the miserable situation before.

After eating and drinking, Wu Song strolled around again and looked at the city wall of Handan. He found that many places were in disrepair for a long time, and some gaps were large enough for a person to get in.

If it is not repaired, it really cannot defend against the attack of the army.

But now there are excavators, repairing such places is a piece of cake.

Of course, if Handan is regarded as a core city for future development, it is necessary to rebuild a wall on the periphery, expand the area inside the city, increase the height and width of the wall, and improve the defense capability.

After the expansion, the several rivers around Handan can all border the city, and the entire city can be defended.

In Handan City today, in addition to Wu Song, there are four young generals led by Niu Gao, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, and Wang Gui, Gongsun Sheng who hangs out in the Taoist temple, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao who pretend to be hunters, and Zou Yuan and Zou Run uncle and nephew, etc.

In addition, the underworld godfather Shan Xiongxin and Hu Sanniang also disguised themselves as merchants from other places, brought hundreds of servants, and swaggered to book the largest inn in the city, with full pomp.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the Taoist temple in the city, Gongsun Sheng sent away the last fortune-teller, hung a sign at the door to close the door, wiped his sword in the room, then took out the intercom, adjusted it to the public channel, pressed the call button and asked:

"Are you ready?"

Soon, a series of responses sounded in the intercom.

Gongsun Sheng said:

"According to Guan Erye's deployment, the cavalry will enter from the east city gate, so we must keep the city gate unobstructed in advance, and at the same time, with the help of carriages and other things, try to block other city gates to prevent people in the city from escaping."

Generally speaking, the siege will be made in a posture of three sides missing one, leaving one exit, so that the soldiers in the city will not fight desperately without scruples, but will find a way to escape.

Although it is an internal breakthrough now, we still have to follow this idea, block three gates, leave one gate for the cavalry to break through, first eliminate the living forces, and then deal with the officials in the city.

In addition, drones should be used to monitor the entire city to prevent people from jumping over the city wall and escaping to Fuyang in the south to inform.

After the deployment was completed, everyone agreed one by one, and then according to Gongsun Sheng's deployment, they began to surround the various city gates.

Niu Gao and several young generals pulled a stone tablet with horses and slowly walked towards the south gate.

When the attack begins, the city gate will be closed first, then the stone monument will be erected behind the gate, and finally a few carriages will be thrown into the door opening. Not to mention the whole south gate, no one will be able to fly out, and no flies will be able to fly out.

San Ruan and Cao Zheng were in charge of the west gate. They found a broken boat from nowhere and planned to carry it into the doorway and then block it sideways so that no one outside could get in and no one inside could get out.

Moreover, the bottom of the boat is well sealed, so it is not afraid of bows and arrows.

Ruan Xiaoqi also took two sets of flamethrowers. If there are too many enemies in the doorway, just spray them to get a feel for how magical this fire-making artifact is.

As for the north gate, Jie Zhen Jie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run and others were in charge. This group was all standard bandits. Jie Zhen Jie Bao took a thin steel cable and planned to nail it to the inside of the city wall door opening. According to the height of the horse , blocking the neck.

As long as someone rushes out on horseback, his neck will be cut off by the tight thin steel cable.

In order to prevent a lowly person from slipping through the net, there were several barriers at the door, both high and low.

Anyway, if you want to rush out, don't expect to get good results.

Wu Song, Chao Gai, Gongsun Sheng and others went to control the magistrate's family. They also used drones to monitor the whole city and report the battle situation in the city at any time.

In the evening, when the cold north wind blew, several city gates became busy. Shan Xiongxin and Hu Sanniang, who were in charge of the east gate, rode on horseback and killed the soldiers at the city gate one by one.

Just when the nearby soldiers were about to rush over to support, the sound of thunder came from far and near. The leopard-headed Lin Chong rode into the city on a snow-treading Wuzui, holding a spear of eight feet in hand, and led the way into the city.

The cavalry divided the troops into several groups according to the route planned by Zhu Wu, and began to clean up the soldiers in the big camp in the city, and also controlled several major families in the city.

Drones flew into the sky with high-power players, warning people in the city to stay at home and enter the curfew state in advance from now on.

When the fighting in the city was in full swing, Guan Yu, accompanied by Xie Yingdeng, led two thousand infantry and successfully captured the weapons workshop.

During the whole process, Xie Yingdeng helped Lao Guan block three arrows. He is truly known as the number one arrow absorber in the Three Kingdoms.

After taking over the weapons workshop, Ou Peng temporarily assumed the post of Superintendent.

The first thing he did when he took office was to announce that the treatment of craftsmen and soldiers would be doubled, which immediately won everyone's support.

Guan Yu left the weapons workshop and rode Red Rabbit No. 2 to the city. By this time, the battle was over. Wu Song had even rushed outside the city and was building a door with Yue Fei and drove four excavators over.

With the excavator, a few soldiers who knew how to drive immediately transformed into engineers and began to dig the moat outside the city and raise the city wall in preparation for the next defensive battle.

In front of the statue, Li Yu watched the live broadcast of the battle and said somewhat speechlessly:

"It's much simpler than I thought. It's like playing house."

The empress smiled and said:

"That's what a raid is all about. Zhang Liao chases and kills 100,000 people with 800 men. Isn't it just like playing house? And the 800 people haven't died yet. There are still many left after the war."

The calculation was done mentally and unintentionally, and coupled with the Song Dynasty's emphasis on civility and restraint on military force, the battle was resolved quickly and calmly.

Of course, this is not a bad thing. We captured the ancient city of Handan without any losses, and also captured an intact weapons workshop.

After going back and occupying the nearby coal and iron mines, Qilin Village will have two sites that can produce weapons within its sphere of influence.

With a steady stream of weapons, peace in the world is no longer a slogan.

After leaving the scenic spot, Li Yu drove to the city to buy some spices and two freshly killed young sheep. In the words of northwest people, they are unmarried sheep.

After buying it, I brought it back to the B&B. I first mixed the spices into a paste according to the method taught by Lin Xu, then evenly applied it to the sheep, spread it evenly and hung it up for marinating.

After Professor Zhou and Baby Chan finished roasting the whole lamb, they asked the store in detail and learned that express delivery would affect the taste, so they gave up the idea.

Li Yu contacted Lin Xu and asked for a detailed list of ingredients. He planned to take advantage of Handan's victory to cook two roasted whole lambs to celebrate and practice by the way, so that Professor Zhou would not be able to eat them when he came back.

After the lamb is marinated, take out the roasting goose oven and light some charcoal to preheat it. When the temperature comes up and the lamb is almost marinated, hang the two lambs in it.

Seal the door, set the temperature, and wait for the delicious food to come out of the oven.

Then he cooked several other dishes. When Wu Song came back, the mutton had been roasted, and the golden skin sounded crispy. Li Yu cut it with a kitchen knife, put it on a tray, and sprinkled some roasted dried meat on it. Chili powder and cumin powder, and asked Brother Dao to call all the administrators over and start eating!

Mu Guiying came the fastest:

"Wow, isn't this the roasted whole lamb that Sister Zhou and Fairy Xiaochan posted on their WeChat Moments? It looks delicious. Let me taste it first!"

Without saying a word, she picked up a piece of mutton and took a bite. She immediately fell in love with the taste.

Lu Bu chose a piece of sheep back and chewed it:

"Is this mutton recipe difficult to make, dear brother? If it's easy to get started, I'll learn it and show you my skills when I go back."

"It's not difficult, just master the heat."

Li Shimin crossed his legs, dangling the slippers on his feet, and asked while eating:

"Suddenly delicious food was made. Did something good happen to us?"

Wu Song said with a smile:

"I have nothing to do today. Our Qilin Village has captured Handan City, as well as a complete weapons workshop. We will also get the nearby coal and iron mines at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shimin immediately felt that the mutton in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Originally, I thought that the competitor was Mu Ke Village, and as long as they could export coke before the Empress, it would be fine. Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty won victory after victory.

Not to mention Zhending Prefecture, it was planned for several months, so it was easy to take it.

But the action to capture Handan City has not been long since the project was launched, and it was taken just like that. The Song Dynasty is really worthy of being nailed to the pillar of shame. Even if those emperors were shot one by one, it would not be enough!

Little Shimin tore the mutton angrily and said to Qin Qiong who was silent on the side:

"Second brother, if we don't occupy a city, we will not be qualified to sit at the table when we eat at the B&B in the future..."
