Shu Blossoms

For Zheng Wei's rhetorical question, Xiao Yucheng just responded with a smile, and the two of them had settled on the strategy of 'resisting the outside world first', and immediately sent scouts to deliver letters to Han Shidi and Han Shiying.

While waiting for the reply, they were not idle, and sent several waves of people to search for traces of Tuoba Yu and Han Shichen, but what they didn't expect was that there would be another sudden change soon.

The scouts reported that there were many scout troops going north in Jiujiang city one after another. The Han family army stationed outside Hongdu city had not moved at all, and the soldier they let go should have returned to the Han family army barracks. There are plans, or as Xinggui said, there have been internal changes in the Han family army.

Sure enough, the entire Han army camp fell into black silence that day. Han Shiying suddenly summoned all the generals in the army and decided to raid Hongdu County tonight, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see General Xu, the right guard. Seeing Han Shiying's serious face, Liu Shaoqi, the military adviser, hurriedly sent someone again to urge.

Han Shiying directly gave the order to siege the city, and the generals hurried to reorganize the army, leaving only Han Shiying and the military division in the camp.

"General Xu, something is wrong these two days!" Liu Shaoqi worried. There's no one in the camp."

Liu Shaoqi was shocked, "We are already stretched. If we lose these 5000 people again, I am afraid we will have no chance to capture Hongdu County!"

"There is no chance for a long time!" Han Shiying did not show panic, but whispered, but it made the military division panic, "Then why is the general attacking the city tonight? How should General Xu deal with it?"

"Military commander, don't worry, I've already made arrangements for this matter." Han Shiying unhurriedly took out a letter and handed it to Liu Shaoqi, "The most urgent thing now is this!"

"What! The three generals are missing!" Liu Shaoqi hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from exclaiming, "Where did this letter come from? Is it credible?"

As he said that, Liu Shaoqi went to flip through the letter paper, and there was nothing on the letter paper. At this time, Han Shiying said, "There was no signature when it was delivered, but I found this on the letter."

Han Shiying pointed to a small inconspicuous imprint like a plum blossom on the letter. Liu Shaoqi picked it up and looked at it carefully under the torch, but he didn't know what was wrong with it, so he looked puzzled, "What's wrong with this imprint?"

"Everyone in the Martial Academy knows that Princess Danyang likes to leave her mark on letters. It is said that this mark is drawn by herself, and it is different every time. People who have never seen it will not know it. After that, I won’t admit my mistake again!”

After he finished speaking, Liu Shaoqi exclaimed first and then suddenly realized, "Princess Danyang is still in Jiujiang, so of course Xiao Yucheng is also there. It seems that the continuous disappearance of our scouts these days must be their hindrance!"

"Yeah, I should have thought of it a long time ago!" Han Shiying's tone seemed regretful and faintly excited, "Fortunately, it's not too late!"

After Han Shiying finished speaking, she turned around and ordered, "Break out the camp and attack the city!"

"Break camp." Liu Shaoqi murmured to himself, "The last battle, the winner is here!"

When Han Shiying got on his horse, several galloping horses were coming, and before the horses stopped, one person was thrown over, fell hard on the ground, and rolled several times.

The soldiers who were close took a look and couldn't help whispering, "General Xu"

The person who was thrown down was General Xu who left with his soldiers. The general on the horse clasped his fists at Han Shiying, "Second General, the traitor general has been captured, and thousands of soldiers under his command are waiting outside the camp for the general's release!"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers around looked at Han Shiying, and everyone wanted to know how Han Shiying would deal with these people.

"I believe that the soldiers were deceived by Xu An, and they are still loyal to Jiujiang and my father. I believe that if the general survives, he is willing to forgive the soldiers, so let them attack the city with us tonight. Make great achievements!"

Just when all the soldiers shouted 'General is wise', a mocking laugh suddenly came, and the laughter became louder and louder, making it hard for everyone not to hear it.

Liu Shaoqi scolded coldly, "Xu An, you betrayed the general, betrayed Jiujiang, you are an ungrateful person, you deserted before the battle, how dare you laugh!"

"Betray the general?" Xu An sneered, "the general is gone! If the general is still here, would you allow this war? You keep saying that you want to avenge the general, but who is the enemy of the general? If any of you can tell me who killed the general I saw with my own eyes, I will immediately take a knife and kill that person, even if my body is smashed to pieces!"

"What revenge?" Xu An looked at Han Shiying mockingly, and shouted mockingly, "This is just an excuse for you to fool us and satisfy your own desires."

Before Xu An's words fell, a cold light flashed, and a sharp arrow quickly passed through everyone's eyes, and pierced Xu An's eyebrows. He fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Whoever disturbs the morale of the army will die!" Everyone looked at the direction of the sharp arrow, and the person who did it was actually the person who brought Xu An back. That person was Han Shiying's confidant and the leader of the personal guard.

Han Shiying stepped forward slowly, staring at Xu An, who died with staring eyes, for a moment, then slowly swept towards the crowd, and said softly, "I will personally catch the murderer who killed my father in front of the army, and make him kneel on his father's knees." Repent in front of the mausoleum!"

Everyone was silent, Han Shiying continued: "This battle is not only for the general, but for Jiujiang, and for all the soldiers of the Han family army. For a long time, the imperial court has regarded us as a thorn in the side. Even if you give up, the emperor and the imperial court will let us go." Us? What I will do today is all for you and my family to stand upright and live in a dignified way! Brothers, soldiers, take up your weapons and tell the emperor and Da Zhou that we are not ants they wantonly slaughtered, The swords, guns, swords and halberds in our hands cannot be despised by them!"

"Siege!" Han Shiying gave an order, and the soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city gate of Hongdu County. No one realized that those who rushed in the front were the thousands of soldiers under Xu An's command.

The movement of the siege awakened the drowsy Hongdu people in the city, causing them to fall into a deep panic again, and also alarmed the scouts hidden around. They left quickly and delivered the letter.

Xiao Yucheng handed the letter to Zheng Wei, and Zheng Wei frowned more and more as he read it, "Does Han Shiying believe us? Are you going to go your own way and make the last resistance?"

"Do you know how many people are in the siege army?" Xiao Yucheng was worried about something else, the scout thought for a while and replied: "At least six to seven thousand people!"

"Han Shiying should have tens of thousands of people under his command!" Xiao Yucheng frowned, Zheng Wei asked his doubts, "Where did those people go?"

The scout hesitated and said: "An incident happened to the Han family army tonight. It seems that some general led troops to defect, but they happened too urgently and blocked the news. We didn't have time to investigate!"

Xiao Yucheng pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Immediately send someone to verify, make sure to find out which general it is and where they are now!"

The scouts were ordered to leave, Zheng Wei looked at Xiao Yucheng and reminded him: "We have to move, if we just wait here, we are waiting to die!"
