retaliate

Chapter 919 Zhen Siwen, who is advancing by leaps and bounds (thanks to the Silver Alliance of 'Soot Ash Falling Sadly')

Neizhou.

Xiao Hongde never knew that Chen Shui and Jiang He led the army to attack Chenzhou.

When he received the news of the defeat, he was a little stunned at first, and then angry.

"Why do you want to look far away?"

He wasn't just angry, he was also a little disturbed.

Lieutenant General Zhao Duola had already revealed her identity and purpose...the emperor wanted to pull him over.

Once Lin Ya's brother-in-law defected, it would be a heavy blow to Lin Ya's reputation.

Xiao Hongde was deliberating, but in fact he knew that he had no way out.

He sat in the value room, full of worries.

Taking refuge in the emperor, Lin Ya will regard him as an opponent who must be killed.

If you don't rely on the emperor, let alone the poisonous woman in the family. The emperor seems to be lenient in the crime of his defeat last time, but once he picks it up again, he can still deal with him.

Probably because his relationship with the poisonous woman angered Lin Ya, so Lin Ya's attitude was a little cold.

Xiao Hongde knew that if he wanted to get ahead in the Linya Group, he had to hug that woman's thigh tightly.

But just thinking about those women killed by her, Xiao Hongde dismissed the idea.

He would rather never get married for the rest of his life than spend the rest of his life with that woman!

"Detailed and stable."

A small official appeared outside the door, "Someone asks to see you."

"Who is it?" Xiao Hongde asked.

"It is said that Ning Xing is here."

Xiao Hongde nodded.

After a while, a man who looked mediocre came in.

"Please hold the screen back and forth carefully." The man said calmly.

"Identity." Xiao Hongde said coldly.

The man holds out a sign.

Eagle Guard!

Xiao Hongde took a deep breath, "Wait, step back!"

The two confidants retreated.

The man saluted, "I was ordered to come, just a word."

When those words came...Xiao Hongde's heart beat faster.

"Say!"

The man said: "Xiao Xiangwen wants to die and wants to live!"

Xiao Hongde got up abruptly, and said with a sneer, "This old man can put you in a dilemma right now!"

The man was not afraid, and said: "The scouts in Neizhou are not competent. Just before, I received news that Yang Xuan led an army of [-] and came straight to Neizhou."

Xiao Hongde's body shook.

The man said calmly: "Is Xiao Xiangwen sure to defeat Yang Xuan? Most likely not! If you can't win this battle, don't blame Ning Xing to settle the old and new scores together!"

He turned away.

"Stay on!"

Xiao Hongde called him to stop.

The man turned around, "Xiao Xiangwen has been thinking for so long, but still can't figure it out? I'm here today, and I have another question, which side are you on?!"

Xiao Hongde had thought about this question countless times long ago, and when he heard that Yang Xuan sent troops, his first thought was despair.

"Old man, I wish to be loyal to His Majesty!"

The man looked at him and said coldly: "How can you win His Majesty's trust?"

Xiao Hongde took out the paper and looked for it, but he couldn't find the pen and ink.

He took out a knife, cut off his finger, and wrote a bloody book just like that.

The man took it, and saw that the content was quite impressive, so he couldn't help nodding in satisfaction, raised his eyes and asked, "That poisonous woman, what should you do?"

Xiao Hongde said without hesitation: "She? She should go too!"

"One night couple, one hundred days of kindness, are you so willing?" The corner of the man's mouth was a little cold.

Xiao Hongde looked at the void and remained silent for a long time.

"No matter how great the kindness of a husband and wife is, it cannot compare to my loyalty to His Majesty!"

The man nodded, "So, goodbye."

The man went out, followed by his two companions.

When he left the state, a companion asked, "How?"

"I don't believe everything he said!"

"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, all we want is betrayal."

The companion said meaningfully: "I don't think it's right."

"Oh!"

"It should be salvation!"

In the prefecture, Xiao Hongde summoned his staff to discuss matters.

Staff member Peng Zhi and deputy general Zhao Duola came.

Zhao Duola glanced at Xiao Hongde, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

It was agreed that the people from the Eagle Guard had sought him out before.

No one dared to be greedy for this kind of credit, and he would find a way to transfer back to Ning Xing later, and stay away from fighting and killing for the rest of his life.

Now, we are friends.

"Yang Gou led an army of [-] people and came to Neizhou."

As soon as Xiao Hongde spoke, Zhao Duola's complexion changed.

"Yang Gou actually came?"

Peng Zhi glanced at him, thinking that the last time Zhao Duola attacked Nangui City full of pride, he was ambushed by Yang Xuan and returned in a complete defeat.

This person lost all courage by Yang Xuan.

"Scared?" Xiao Hongde sneered.

Now that he has defected to the emperor, Zhao Duola's role has been weakened.

Zhao Duola coughed dryly, "We only have more than [-] yuan, it's not stable, it's not stable!"

"The old man trained five thousand people a while ago, and they were all pulled out. They can't go out of the city to fight to the death, but they are more than enough to defend the city."

"So, it's thirty-two thousand." Peng Zhi said.

"Thirty-two thousand, I'm sure if I can't keep it." Zhao Duola said.

Xiao Hongde said coldly: "If you can't defend it, can you prevent Yang Gou's trebuchet?"

"How many stones can he have?"

Zhao Duola said indifferently: "Five thousand people are strong enough to last for half a month."

"is it?"

Xiao Hongde said calmly.

"nature."

Zhao Dora smiled.

Peng Zhi noticed that the atmosphere between the two had changed.

From the harmony in the past to the estrangement now, it seems to be in an instant.

what happened?
"Send more scouts to keep an eye on Zhen Siwen. In addition, collect food and prepare supplies for defending the city."

Xiao Hongde stood up, "Go right away!"

Zhao Duola stood up, "Send someone to report to Ningxing."

People from Yingwei have already left, don't you know?If you don't know, then you are a marginal figure.If you know it, then you are asking the question knowingly, and your heart can be punished!
"Come on!"

A small official came in from outside the door.

Xiao Hongde said: "Hurry up and go to Tanzhou to ask for help. Tell Lin Jun that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If Neizhou does not exist, Tanzhou will not be saved!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Hongde looked tired.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Zhao Dora resigned.

Out of the lobby, his confidant followed, and said dissatisfiedly: "He turned his face! But he forgot that without you, he would still follow Lin Ya all the way to the dark."

"The old man knows too much about his scandal." Zhao Duola narrowed his eyes, "The old man wanted to be transferred to Ningxing, but now it seems that he has to wait until after this battle. Let's just deal with it first."

"Will he do something wrong?" The confidant was a little anxious.

Back at the duty room, Zhao Duola wrote a letter and handed it to his confidant, "Take this letter and set off immediately to Taizhou. Once you know the news of the old man's death, send the letter to Ningxing immediately."

"to whom?"

"Lin Ya!"

The confidant's body shook, "Yes."

At the same time, Xiao Hongde and Peng Zhi were discussing matters.

"So you switched to His Majesty!"

Peng Zhi belonged to Xiao Hongde, even so, he still waited until the matter was settled before telling the truth.

This kind of city government is worthy of sitting in one side.

"If Yang Gou doesn't send troops, I still want to delay for a while." Xiao Hongde sighed a little, "Lin Ya, you are actually kind to me."

Of course, the poisonous woman said otherwise.

"Then Zhao Duola is your guide, but you are quite indifferent to him."

"He knows too much." Xiao Hongde's eyes became more cold, "He saw the old man's vacillating attitude for a while. If he told His Majesty about this, think about it, what would His Majesty think?"

"That's why I just came out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den." Peng Zhi nodded, "No wonder. We need to find a way to solve this matter. It's best to settle it once and for all."

"Simple."

"Simple?"

Peng Zhi is an aide, he claims to be smart, but he can't think of a solution in a short time.

Xiao Hongde said: "The old man has a sharp archer under his command, and when Yang Gou launches an attack, let the sharp archer be behind... um!"

He waved lightly.

Peng Zhi felt cold, "Shoot him!"

Xiao Hongde said calmly: "Above the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes."

A follower came in, "Xiang Wen, the confidant next to Vice General Zhao just left the city with a letter."

"Take it?" Xiao Hongde asked.

"Yes, when I left the city, I still held it in my hand. It was said that I was going to Taizhou to watch the battle."

Peng Zhi looked at Xiao Hongde and smiled wryly, "This is his backhand!"

Xiao Hongde looked stern, "What a thief!"

……

Later, Xiao Hongde summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Hearing that Yang Xuan led the army to attack, at least [-]% of the civil and military complexions changed drastically.

Sure enough, they were all scared of being beaten by Yang Gou.

Xiao Hongde looked at Zhao Duola, "Does Vice General Zhao have any suggestions?"

Zhao Duola smiled and said: "The lower officials only have to be careful and steady."

"So, let's join hands to defend against the enemy!" Xiao Hongde also showed an almost benevolent smile.

"That's it!" Zhao Duola smiled reservedly.

Everyone discussed.

Xiao Hongde patted the table, and after everyone was quiet, he said: "Our army is [-], and if we can't defend ourselves, Yang Gou can only do nothing.

In addition, the old man asked people to go to Tanzhou for help.Lin Jun, the governor of Tanzhou, is a man of integrity, and he thinks he will lead an army to help.

Let's guard, and Yang Dog will besiege.

When Lin Shijun leads the army to arrive and attack from inside and outside, if the battle is lost, the old man is willing to resign and go home, never to be an official! "

These words are categorical!
This oath is even more decisive.

A general saluted, "Tanzhou is here to help, are you sure?"

This man is a fool!

Peng Zhi laughed in his heart.

"I will definitely come!"

Xiao Hongde nodded.

At this moment, the news of him taking refuge in the emperor has not been distributed, at least until the end of this battle.In this way, he and Lin Jun are now a family.

The family was in trouble, if Lin Jun didn't come to rescue, conflicts would arise within Lin Ya.

Therefore, Lin Jun must come!

"Shijun Lin once defeated the Shegu people." The general was overjoyed, "If so, this battle will definitely be won!"

"That's right! At the beginning, I thought he would lose in that battle, but who knew that he would show weakness first, causing the Shegu people to chase after him. Just when the Shegu people were proud, they ambush everywhere, and then they were defeated."

Lin Jun is known as a famous general within the Linya Group. After taking command of Tanzhou, it is said that the soldiers and civilians of Tanzhou are determined and say that they will not worry about Yang Dog's attack.

Now hearing that he will definitely lead the army to help, Neizhou Wenwu is as excited as a chicken blood.

"Xiangwen, please fight!" a general said with a red face.

"My subordinate is willing to lead the army to test Zhen Siwen!"

"Sir..."

This is the role of a famous general!

It's a pity, after this time, it's the enemy... Xiao Hongde pointed to a general and said, "Zeng Qiu led the cavalry forward to test Zhen Siwen!"

"Leader!"

"Prepare the food and drink, the old man will have a drink with you today!"

"Leader!"

There was laughter in the lobby.

Peng Zhi came over, leaned over and said, "Drinking before the battle, isn't it good?"

"Yang Gou's power is astonishing. Drinking before the battle is just to stimulate their blood and courage."

Xiao Hongde lowered his voice, "If this battle can be won, who in the world would dare to say that this old man has gone to the emperor for profit?"

Peng Zhi understood, "That's right, Xiangwen is relying on power to seek refuge with the emperor, more like abandoning the dark for the light. Besides, with this great achievement, Xiangwen can gain a firm foothold on the emperor's side and be reused!"

"That's what it means." Xiao Hongde smiled slightly, and the calmness of everything under control emerged spontaneously, "When it's time to come, you can still use Lin Jun, a famous general of the Liao Dynasty, to repel or defeat Yang Gou... …

The emperor is not a fool, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to create public opinion, advocating the old man's achievements in this battle.So... Fame and fortune! "

He held the water glass, smiled and said:
"The highest state of using troops is not to deploy troops and dispatch generals, but to take advantage of the situation!"

Peng Zhiting's heart was surging, "I just wronged Lin Shijun and Yang Gou!"

"Hahahaha!"

……

"Hahahaha!"

In the official residence of Nangui City, Zhen Siwen looked up at the letter and laughed.

Everyone stood in the hall, eager to ask questions, but they had to wait for Sima to finish laughing first.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhen Siwen laughed heartily, and patted the table, "The Duke of the state has an order, show off!"

The news of the army's conquest of Neizhou had already spread, but Tao County did not give instructions on how to move Nangui City.Everyone was still arguing about this before, and some people suggested to take the initiative to attack and provoke the morale of the Neizhou defenders.

However, some people also suggested to be cautious, defend Nangui City, and let the army have a foothold, which is a great achievement.

At this moment, the Duke's handwritten letter arrived at Zhen Siwen's place, only two words.

Show off!

This is the meaning that the defenders of Nangui City must not be conservative.

It is even more of his trust in Zhen Siwen.

Zhen Siwen put down the letter, put it away carefully, raised his eyes and said: "The Duke said Liwei, I think so..."

……

On the second day, more than [-] cavalrymen from Neizhou appeared in the sight of the Nanguicheng defenders.

The alarm bell rang.

The city was full of defenders, looking quite cautious.

The general squinted his eyes, "Are they all there?"

The watchman said: "Most of the defenders are at the top of the city."

"it is good!"

The general's name is Zeng Qiu, and he can be regarded as a member of Xiao Hongde's lineage.The purpose of this leading attack is to provoke, that is, to demonstrate.

Demonstrations before the war can boost the morale of the entire army.

"Yaowu!"

Zeng Qiu said in a deep voice.

Dozens of riders rode forward.

The city gate suddenly opened slowly.

"careful!"

Zeng Qiu watched coldly, "Don't worry, there are more than a thousand riders waiting behind. If they attack, we will run away. Just lead them to that place, and it will be a big victory!"

Behind the city gate, hundreds of riders are gathering.

"This group of people is at most expelled, continue, Yaowu!" Zeng Qiu narrowed his eyes, "Where's Zhen Siwen? Shout out!"

A few sergeants with loud voices shouted towards the top of the city.

"Zhen Siwen, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"Zhen Siwen, you are as timid as a mouse!"

"Zhen Siwen, shameless!"

"Don't dare to show your face, Zhen Siwen, but are you hiding?"

"Hahahaha!"

Yaowu's sergeants laughed.

Zeng Qiu smiled, "Defending Nangui City is a meritorious service, Zhen Siwen will not take risks."

"They're out of town!"

someone shouted.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of Nangui City, looking menacing, but in Zeng Qiu's eyes, they were angry from embarrassment.

"Will you withdraw?" the subordinate asked.

"Wait, wait until they approach before withdrawing."

Zeng Qiu asked, "Have you ever seen cat play mouse?"

"Never."

"The cat will watch the mouse run under its paws. Whenever the mouse thinks it has escaped, catch it back. Then let it go... We play like this until they are furious and chase them all the way..."

There was more playfulness in Zeng Qiu's eyes, "Take them and walk the dog!"

The hundreds of riders began to accelerate.

faster and faster.

Zeng Qiu judged that it was almost done, so he rode his horse and turned around, "Let's go..."

His voice suddenly became hoarse.

Eyes panicked...

Just over two miles away from them.

Thousands of riders are quietly approaching.

Just when he was showing off his power and full of confidence just now.

Outflanked them in a fan shape.

A big flag was raised violently.

甄！
More than a thousand riders started to launch.

Behind, hundreds of defenders are approaching.

On the side, groups of infantry appeared.

It's a trap!
Zeng Qiu turned his head and glanced at the top of the city, the defenders were full...

Many of them must be pretended by the common people!
Zhen Siwen!
"Dog thief!"

More than a thousand riders swept in, and those hundreds of riders surrounded Zeng Qiu and his men.

Zhen Siwen took the lead and charged towards Zeng Qiu.

"Dog thief!"

Zeng Qiu's eyes were red, but his heart was full of fear.

Neizhou and Nanguicheng have played against each other many times. The scale is not large, but the general's command ability can also be seen.

The speed at which Zhen Siwen progressed in this process was astonishing.

Today's trap is even more perfect... From the layout to the timing of the approach, it can be called perfect.

Yang Gou has another general under his command!
Daliao!
clang!
His long knife was swung.

Then there was a pain in the neck, and the vision suddenly raised.

He saw Zhen Siwen reaching out to grab him.

The remaining sanity heard Zhen Siwen's roar.

"Hurry up and send the head to the Duke, and tell the Duke that the next official, Zhen Siwen, is willing to speak out for the country!"

……

The double monthly pass starts tomorrow.
