The Pingzhou Army was still in a difficult meditation battle, and of course there were also large troops coming to the city to challenge the battle. As the saying goes, there were only three things. After the third call, the Pingzhou Army dispersed again, breaking the customary rule. Some remarks began to quietly circulate in this border town called Beisha City.

For example, the Jin army itself did not come to attack Goguryeo, but was provoked by the Xianbei Murong clan. People who were walking could get evidence from many sources. For example, the Pingzhou army did not work hard and did not look like siege at all. This can be understood as the comfort of the King of Yan to Murong Li, and it did not insist on fighting Goguryeo to the death.

"General, although there is enough food and grass, it is inevitable that there will be changes over the prolonged period." Dongyi Captain He Long couldn't sit still. He now doubted the achievements of Sima Ji Nan's expedition. Is it gilded in the battle report. The north is different from the south. If winter continues to be dragged on, will it be that the wind and snow are fighting?

"Are you anxious? I have my own plans, and you will know then." Sima Ji put down the military books and said calmly. Don't get me wrong. He didn't read military books at all, but just used it to pass the time to relieve boredom.

The war is inconsistent, and the water is inconsistent. The King of Yan is not a genius, and it is useless to read military books. Why is Sun Tzu's Art of War lasting for a long time? Because Sun Tzu's Art of War does not start with specific cases, they are talking about strategy. The book of strategy will never be outdated, so I'm still waiting to read it.

The city of Beisha was completely different. Although the Pingzhou army did not attack the city, it did cut off the connection between the city and the outside world. Not attacking inside did not mean that the people inside could come out, but instead confronted each other in a siege.

Don’t look at Sima Ji’s arrival without using any weapons, but the night marching is effective. There is no time to accumulate supplies for the defenders and residents in the city. Now the Goguryeo Army is not short of food yet, but ordinary residents have begun to save money. Who knows when the Pingzhou Army will leave?

Son: Mom, we are about to be frozen to death, why not make a fire? Mom: We don’t have coal. Son: Can’t you buy some coal? Mom: We don’t have money. Son: Isn’t your father making money? Mom: Dad is unemployed, and can’t make money. Son: Why is Dad unemployed? Mom: Because there is too much coal, it can’t be sold. This is the poor in the economic crisis.

Every household item that is not rare at all is now a scarce item. The guards took advantage of the siege outside and concentrated the supplies openly and without any mistakes. What happened to the common people sacrificed a little for the sake of the country? Didn’t they die?

"General, the Pingzhou Army has no intention of siegeing the city. I believe that it will take at least half a month or winter. Sima Ji gave Murong Jie an explanation and would withdraw his troops. At that time, the general Beisha City is as solid as a soup, and the king's attention will be just around the corner." A man in a gorgeous uniform looked like he was only thirty years old to raise his glass and flattered the guard general Wen Liu.

From the man's outfit, we can tell that this person is either rich or noble. In fact, Wen Liu didn't know this person for a long time, but was deeply impressed by this person's strategy. Therefore, he was very polite in his attitude and attracted him as his confidant. The two of them often visit their own mansions, and it was very lively.

After a while, the soldiers came to report the news. The third call from the Jin army outside the city had been disbanded, and all the soldiers had retreated. Wen Liu laughed loudly when he heard this and said to the middle-aged man, "Sir, it's true that Sima Ji has really retreated. I can rest assured that the Jin army retreats without fighting. Compared with his colleagues in the west, it's really a blessing to have the help of his husband!"

"The general has been awarded, by chance, by chance." The middle-aged man's smile was a bit strange, but it was still very well concealed.

The soldiers who came to report the news did not care too much. He knew that this man was the general's confidant, a rich man himself, and had a lot of wealth in the city. It was this man's idea to use this siege at a cheap price, exaggerate and threaten to concentrate supplies, and let the guard general make money.

The effect is very significant. In the mansion of the guard general, the wealth of each household is gathering here. The current warmth is full of spring breeze and wealth. Although the city is in a bleak state, the mansion of the guard general is still singing and dancing to peace, and it is not affected at all because of the Jin army's siege.

"How could I have such an opportunity without Mr. Wen lowered his voice, "Mr. I am a huge merchant traveling in several countries, which makes me admire him very much. Come and do it!"

"Don't you, toast to the general's wealth." The middle-aged man picked up the wine bottle again, as if he had met a close friend with a thousand cups of wine.

The people in the city will never know the truth, nor will they know that the culprit that caused their hunger and coldness was not the enemy outside the city, but the guardians of the city who protected them.

As night fell, the noise dispersed, and the city fell into silence again, but this time, the Jin army camp was not like this. Sima Ji said calmly, "At noon tomorrow, we will form a formation to attack the city. I have finished my words. Who agrees and who opposes?"

"General, isn't there two days to siege the city?" He Long said with some confusion, "Are we siege a little hasty now? Anyway, we have been waiting for so long, and we don't care about one or two days."

"You don't understand, the time has come." Sima Ji glanced at He Long and said coldly, "Give you a night of time to prepare. I believe you have a way to make the soldiers believe that war will start tomorrow, that's it. By the way, take turns to watch. If there is a fire in the border town, you don't have to come and report it when attacking directly at night!"

Sima Ji's words were a bit terrible, but many generals still wrote them down. The general didn't like others to question him.

The mansion of the guard general Wen Liu was as quiet as death, and there was an unspeakable smell of blood in each bedroom. The whole mansion was silent, and everyone had been killed without leaving any. Soon, the gate of the mansion was opened, and the middle-aged man who had already worn armor rushed out on a horse that was originally a guard general and took more than a dozen guards. Soon, the team reached nearly a hundred people, and the destination was the direction of the city gate.

At the Beisha City Gate, the soldiers at the city gate fell to their sleep, and the soldiers who were forced to guard the city had already fallen asleep. The sounds in the city were rhythmically coming and getting closer. However, although it was very abrupt in the middle of the night, no one noticed that in the remote corner of the city wall, many black shadows were silently climbing up the city wall. Then, the black shadows quickly touched up and assassinated the dozing sentries one by one. In the blink of an eye, the city gate where the sentry was originally standing became empty.

The city gate tower was lit and the fire surged into the sky. At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers in the distance were not asleep. They found something wrong. They ran over the shrill howling and shouted in Goguryeo, "Who is it that dares to attack the city gate at night?"

"Youzhou Purchase Department, Gao Yang!" Gao Yang, wearing armor, had already bent his bow and shot arrows while speaking, and shot the running soldiers to the ground. The main entrance instantly became chaotic under the light of fire. In the night sky, the two sides fought each other.

The Pingzhou Army, who had been waiting for Sima Ji's orders, saw the flames of Beisha City from afar, and immediately knew that there was a change in the city. Two thousand people immediately set off on their way and rushed towards it.

The nearby Goguryeo soldiers were suddenly awakened by a terrible shout of killing. They sat up one after another, put on their clothes and took swords. Only the sound of shouting and killing like roars from the outside was heard, which was amazing, from far to near.

Many Goguryeo soldiers just took a look and saw a pile of torches that could not be seen clearly, jumping over. At this time, the qi and blood rushed to the top and wanted to take back the city gate along the stairs. Unfortunately, the opened city gate was also ignited, like a most obvious target, seducing the anxious Pingzhou army outside the city.

The battle between the battle at the gate of the city and the anti-contest has begun. Although the attackers are not large, they have a condescending position. Their only hope for survival is that the Jin army outside the city will rush in, otherwise they will die without a burial place.

With this mentality, of course they cannot let the city gate that has been opened be closed, and it can no longer be closed. The flames soar into the sky at the city gate. Even if they are closed, there is no need for a siege hammer, and they are easily washed away.

This battle finally ended under the pressure of the Pingzhou cavalry, which was getting closer and closer, causing the Goguryeo soldiers to escape. By the early morning of the next day, the pass that blocked the Jin army's northward had fallen into Sima Ji's hands.

"The general is really unpredictable. It turns out that he has already made arrangements." On the way to the city, He Long said with conscience, "It turns out that the city has already had His Highness's inner support."

"From ancient times, insiders are the most likely to be bad." Sima Ji smiled and did not respond to He Long's compliment. He has been thinking about Goguryeo for a long time. Before Youzhou Purchase Department, there were already people from the Yan Prince's Mansion here. Youzhou Purchase Department is just a formal name, which does not mean that there was nothing before.

When you open the history book, there are countless examples of the inside and outside conquering the city. What happened to Sima Ji once? As for the contact between the two sides, there was no contact at all. When Gao Yang was here, he knew that one day if the Jin army attacked Goguryeo and formed three consecutive formations and called the city, he would not attack the city. The person in charge would definitely be the King of Yan. After the third retreat to the camp, the fourth attack would begin at any time. What he had to do was to believe unconditionally that Sima Ji would definitely appear.
