Madame is back after ten years away

Chapter 228 Still Just a Little Kid (Part [-])
Shen Qing looked at the man in front of him, and was about to bend down to help him up, when Liu Zhao's surprised voice suddenly came from behind him, "Vice General Xu, why are you..."

Only then did Shen Qing see that this man's rank in the army should not be low. Now it seems that he is one of Liu Zhao's eight lieutenants.

However, Liu Zhao personally went over to help him up, but Deputy General Xu still knelt and did not move.

Shen Qing looked down at him, and said in a low voice: "Vice General Xu, please get up."

Hearing Shen Qing's words, Vice General Xu stood up, looked at Shen Qing with reddish eyes, and said: "Many of the defenders in Xizhou today followed Xiao Shen to drive away Daliang. The barbarians, if they know that Master Xiao Shen is back, they will be very happy..."

Liu Zhao was from Yu Jiuqing, so Yu Jiuqing placed him in Xizhou's garrison, and there were many people who had followed Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing.

Hearing Vice General Xu's words, Shen Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sincere smile on her face, and said, "Is that so? It's convenient for me to do things."

She intends to participate in the war against Great Liang, but suffers from the fact that she has no one in her hands.

She had been thinking about how to quickly gain the trust of Xizhou defenders, but now God gave her a convenient way.

Liu Zhao, who has been a little dazed since just now, also sensed the reason for Vice General Xu's strangeness, and couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that Vice General Xu knew Mr. Xiao Shen before, and I am still worrying about how to introduce Mr. Xiao Shen to you guys." Woolen cloth."

Deputy General Xu immediately said proudly: "General Liu, although my subordinates also recognize General Liu's talent, but forgive me for saying that when Master Xiao Shen led the army across the battlefield, General Liu was just a brat with no hair on his head. baby!"

Liu Zhao was both angry and helpless when he heard that, he pretended to roll up his sleeves and said, "Vice General Xu, there is no ring competition in the army during this time, but your skin is itchy?"

Logically speaking, ordinary generals would not be able to bear the comparison of their own generals with others.

But Liu Zhao was young. He was only 25 years old and he was in charge of [-] elite soldiers in Xizhou. More than half of the lieutenants in the army were older than him. Unrelenting efforts every day.

Getting along with the generals under his command is also more like getting along with friends, and occasionally being teased a few words, as long as the bottom line is not involved, Liu Zhao will not care about them.

What's more, the person that Vice General Xu is comparing with him at this time is Mrs. Yu and Lord Xiaoshen. No matter what the identity of the other party is, he has no right to care about it.

After all, Vice General Xu also respected his general in his heart, he laughed twice, and suddenly said: "By the way, Master Xiao Shen was sent by General Liu?"

Liu Zhao didn't want to clarify Shen Qing's identity, so he only said vaguely: "Master Shen happened to be in Xizhou, and he heard that Xizhou was besieged by the army of Daliang, so he couldn't help but stand up."

Deputy General Xu was overjoyed immediately, with tears in his eyes unconsciously, he said: "You know, Mr. Xiao Shen won't really leave Da Qi behind! Then... tell others the good news! "

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Liu Zhao and Shen Qing, and quickly walked down the city wall.

Liu Zhao looked at the figure of his lieutenant general walking away, and said half-jokingly: "This guy has been talking about Mr. Xiao Shen in my ears since before, and now Mr. Shen is really here. The general will abdicate automatically in his heart."

"How could it be? The military regulations are strict, and the general defending Xizhou City is still General Liu."

Shen Qing glanced at him with a faint smile, then suddenly looked at the Great Liang military camp in the distance again, and said, "The four wounded soldiers are alright?"

Hearing Shen Qing talking about the business, Liu Zhao put away the joke on his face, and said: "It's not a serious injury, but there are many people who are paying attention to the situation on the front line, and they immediately knew about someone being injured. The people surrounding the general's mansion ... more."

Shen Qing was silent for a moment, and said: "These days will only increase. And we have to hold on to the news from Chen Zhou."

Song Xingzhi on the side hesitated to speak.

Senior Shen said earlier that if all goes well, Chen Zhou will be able to send reinforcements in five to six days.

But the premise of this time is - if everything goes well.

What if it doesn't go well?

Now that the voices of protest among the common people are so loud, if the war situation prolongs, even he, a half-hearted person, knows that the situation is definitely not optimistic.

But seeing the resolute faces of both Shen Qing and Liu Zhao, he finally pursed his lips and did not express his concern.

What he can think of, Senior Shen and Brother Liu must also be able to think of.

War is a gamble. There is no battle that must be won, and there is no battle that must be lost. It can only depend on which side fate favors more.

In the next two days, just as Shen Qing expected, the attacks from Great Liang came very intensively, and what was annoying was that their purpose was obviously not to break into the city, but to do everything possible to cause harm to the people on their side. casualties.

In just two days, hundreds of people were injured on their side, and hundreds of soldiers died.

Although there were also casualties on the Great Liang side, compared to the situation on the Great Liang side, there was more pressure from the common people on their side.

As the number of casualties increased, the people in Xizhou became more and more dissatisfied and angry with Liu Zhao.

This war could have been avoided as long as the concubine, King Yun, was handed over. They really couldn't understand why General Liu was unwilling to hand over that woman!

Those soldiers didn't need to die!They are human beings and have their own families!

If they died in the war to defend their home and country, what is it now?Their casualties were actually due to their inexplicable actions by General Liu!

Although Liu Zhao has repeatedly declared that he did not detain Princess Yun, how could the angry people be willing to believe his words?
Later, more and more people surrounded the General's Mansion, and there were people staring at almost every corner, and there were conflicts between the people who tried to break into the General's Mansion and the guards of the General's Mansion.

In the end, neither Liu Zhao nor Shen Qing could go back to the General's Mansion. Luckily, Liu Zhao had been in Xizhou for many years, and he had already become a cunning rabbit, so he took Shen Qing to another yard of his in Xizhou and asked her to live here temporarily.

The day they moved was the third day after the Daliang army attacked.

After Liu Zhao settled Shen Qing in the new courtyard, in order not to expose his whereabouts to the angry people and expose Shen Qing, he hurriedly left.

However, Shen Qing pulled him back abruptly, looked at Liu Zhao's haggard face in the past two days, sighed secretly, and said, "Since this morning, the frequency of Daliang's army's attacks has obviously become more intensive."

Thinking of the battle situation outside the city, Liu Zhao was disturbed, took a deep breath patiently, and said, "Indeed, but it's the third day now, if Chenzhou sends reinforcements, we should be able to detect them in these two days." Ma'am, don't worry..."

Shen Qing stared at him closely, and said in a low voice: "But the situation in the city, I'm afraid it won't last for two days? I heard that this morning, the people broke through the defense of the general's mansion and rushed in. Anyone who sees Tied up when the girl arrived, and now, the General's Mansion is still occupied by them.

Vice General Xu told me that many soldiers in the army have expressed their opinions. If this continues, your situation will be very dangerous. "

Liu Zhao secretly gritted his teeth, but still comforted him: "Don't worry, I..."
