Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Su Guogong's mansion is also brightly lit late at night.

When Xie Zhijun came out of the Ronghua Hall, he realized that it was already Zishi, and the dark clouds in the sky covered the bright moon and the stars, and there was darkness between the sky and the earth.

It's going to snow again.

Xie Zhijun wrapped her cloak tightly and hurried back to Chunhuating.

Zhao Yu, Mu Yun and the others had been busy with her for more than half a month, but Xie Zhijun didn't let them wait in the Ronghua Hall, and asked them to come back and rest directly.

When we arrived at Chunhuating, it was warm inside.

Xie Zhijun took off his hood, only to find that there was a lot of dust on the cloak, which looked a little dirty.

Now she doesn't care much.

When she was washing and changing and sitting in the bedroom, Zhao Yu said: "Miss, go to bed earlier today, you have worked too hard these days."

Xie Zhiyun shook his head.

She took out the family letter written by Wei Ji from the box, and read it bit by bit.

The battle at the border was busy, and Wei Ji was going to lead his troops away, so he only wrote two letters in this month, each letter was very short, and there was only midnight letterhead, Xie Zhiyun had read it several times.

Seeing that she wanted to read the uncle's letter again, Zhao Yu sighed slightly in her heart, took ginseng tea and gave it to Xie Zhijun to replenish her energy and blood, and then withdrew.

Today, the family discussed for two hours, but they didn't come up with a general idea. Everyone was a little anxious, but no one said anything.

It is true that North Vietnam did not directly attack the remaining seven states, but it is not good for the seven states to directly participate in this siege, because once they follow suit, firstly, the supplies at the border cannot be guaranteed, and secondly, they are also afraid that North Vietnam will completely attack the city. Tear your face, and then increase your troops to start a full-scale war.

At that time, the people living outside the city will suffer.

So Yezhou is still supporting it alone.

They made all the preparations they could, and tried their best. Xie Zhijun was busy for half a month, and she was exhausted and numb. She couldn't think of a better way for the time being.

Even so, Xie Zhijun didn't express his anxiety on his face.

She sat for a while, and suddenly found that it was snowing outside.

The crystal snowflakes fluttered down, bringing bursts of cold.

Xie Zhijun sighed, she unfolded Wei Ji's family letter, and slowly read it word by word.

In his heart, Wei Ji talked about the war at the border, talked about his own situation, and told her to take care of her health and not worry too much about herself.

Different from the letterhead that Wei Ji handwritten for her when she went to Taiji Mountain before, this letter is very formal, very trivial, and very ordinary.

Without the romance of peach blossoms in full bloom, without the ambiguity of basic necessities of life, there are only a few words of war, only the sincerity that makes her feel at ease.

Xie Zhiyun stroked the paper lightly, and smiled.

She missed Wei Ji very much, not because she wanted to rely on him, but because she hadn't seen him for more than a month, she wanted to talk to him from the bottom of her heart.

Xie Zhiyun suddenly remembered that he went to Taiji Mountain to train soldiers before, and when he came back, he said that the socks she made were very good, because they made a lot of them, so even if they got wet and dirty, they could be replaced easily.

At that time, Xie Zhiyun also said to him: "If you wear wet socks in winter, won't you be frozen into lumps of ice, and it will be difficult to walk."

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyun's eyes suddenly lit up.

She hurriedly stood up, went to the bookshelf and rummaged carefully, flipped through one book after another, and finally found the answer she wanted.

In the evening of the next day, a new round of siege ended.

The city walls were covered in scars, all of which were bloodstains that hadn't been wiped off.

Xie Zhijun brought everyone from the Wei family to the tower, and looked at Zhou Chenglin: "Old General, I have thought of a way, but I don't know if it is really useful."

Zhou Chenglin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Young madam, tell me."

Xie Zhijun handed him the "General History" in his hand, turned to a page, and said: "This is the history book of the former Zhao Dynasty, which records the battles between the former Zhao Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. Among them, the city defense methods of Tianjiang City are still fresh in my memory."

"I rummaged through the books last night and finally found this one. I think this method is feasible."

"But Yezhou is not as cold as Tianjiang City. I was worried that I would fail, so I thought of another way."

She explained the method carefully, and then said: "If it is really possible, we need to consume more firewood and coal, and then we need to block the city gate so that they cannot enter through the city gate."

"Others, you can only do your best and know the destiny."

Zhou Chenglin didn't know a few words, but he could understand the reasoning, so he asked: "Young Madam, we can try it, but it will cost a day's worth of firewood at most."

"If it can be done, we can last for a few days, if not," Zhou Chenglin narrowed his eyes, "We will be in a stalemate with them."

"I can always wait until the day when the frontier war is won."

Xie Zhiyun nodded and said, "Okay."

In the evening, several cauldrons were set up at the South City Gate.

The strong laborers in the city dispatched hundreds of people, some of them carried water to the city wall, some burned firewood, and the rest carried the boiled water to the city wall and poured it on the city wall from top to bottom.

The hot water was scalding hot, but the weather was very cold. The water vapor quickly evaporated when it was poured on the city wall. After a while, it was almost frozen.

Xie Zhijun, Wei Ningshu, and Ji Xiuxiu have been observing the city walls, and seeing that it is indeed effective, they ordered all the city walls to be poured with boiling water.

When the ice wall began to condense on the city wall, it was changed to cold water and continued to pour.

Just like this over and over again, from night to dawn, when the first ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, the entire South City Gate was wrapped behind a crystal clear ice wall.

When the North Vietnamese soldiers came under the wall, everyone was stunned.

The ice wall exudes a coldness, making people afraid to approach it. It just so happens that today is a cloudy day and there is not enough sunlight, so the ice on the city wall is very solid.

Wall climbing ladders and climbing ropes cannot be used, because the ice surface is bright and there is no fulcrum, making them at a loss.

The most terrible thing is that it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the weather is extremely cold. It is tantamount to torture for soldiers to climb on such ice.

Soldiers, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they all flinched a little.

Immediately, some soldiers returned to their tents to report, and the lieutenant quickly reported to Liu Bai.

This time, Liu Bai, the chief general of the North Vietnamese Army, was originally the commander of the Jinwu Guard, but now he is officially worshiped as the Vanguard General, commanding [-] soldiers and horses.

He had thought that Yezhou would be conquered soon with more than double the troops, but he didn't expect that in the past twenty days, they didn't even fly into Yezhou, let alone a human.

The urgent reports from the imperial court passed day by day, and Liu Bai had no choice but to sell miserably and beg for another 3 people.

If he can't take Yezhou this day, he doesn't have to go back.

Hearing the lieutenant's report at this moment, how could he agree to retreat?

Liu Bo looked at the lieutenant gloomyly, and said sharply: "Directly attack by force, whoever dares to retreat will be killed directly."

"If you don't take it down, you don't have to come back alive."
