Fenghua husband and splendid wife

Chapter 991 Kicks off! (5)
"Back to father-in-law, that's exactly the case. In fact, more than [-]% of the ministers in the court have recommended Mu Liunian to go to war, but the emperor just went against him, saying that he didn't believe in this evil. I was on the side of my father-in-law When the team arrived at Qiyang Pass, they arrived in Qing County. In the current situation, if we don't receive reinforcements, we may not be able to last for a few more days."

"How many soldiers and horses has Cangming entered the customs so far?"

Seeing Sanqiulie's sad face, Xu Dingyuan hesitated for a moment, but told the truth.

"Back to father-in-law, as of today's statistics, 40 people have already entered the customs. Among them, the 30 troops led by Prince Rui's son have already arrived outside Qing County. The remaining [-] troops, It's all on the way now."

Sanqiulie closed his eyes full of grief.

If he hadn't been too confident and trusted his spies too much, then this time, he wouldn't have suffered such a miserable defeat.

"Didn't the emperor decree that I should be relegated or punished?"

"Back to father-in-law, Liang Cheng only said that he could not contact you for the time being because of the scuffle, so the emperor didn't know the news that you were kidnapped by Cang Ming."

have no idea?I'm afraid that sooner or later you will know.

In the past few years, Xiao Yunfang has been vigorously developing and training his hidden guards, which cannot be said to be spread all over the world, but there are very few important court officials who are not watched by his people.

"Ayuan, I'm a little tired. If there's anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes, father-in-law. You take a bath and change clothes first, and then use some things. My son-in-law will come to see you tomorrow morning."

"En." Sang Qiulie didn't open his eyes, his face was full of exhaustion, and Xu Dingyuan didn't dare to stay any longer.

After leaving the tent, "You guard General Sancho carefully. If you find any changes in him, stop him immediately and report to me quickly."

"Yes, General."

Xu Zeyuan knew that this time, for San Qiulie, it would be a great shame and a stain in his life.It is not easy for him to face all this calmly.

More importantly, Xu Zeyuan thought of the kit that his cousin Sangqiu Zirui gave him.

What was written there was only asking him to try his best to save the person, and after that, he only said that everything should be done according to Sanqiulie's wishes, but it didn't specify what it was.

In the Cangming Camp, Huangfu Dingtao learned that someone had rescued Sang Qiulie, so he knew that Sang Qiulie might not survive.

In a fit of rage, he chopped off several guards who were in charge of guarding him, but it was still not enough to vent his anger.

If it weren't for the imminent battle, he would definitely kill a few more without hesitation.

Sancholie was originally left on purpose by him.

Huangfu Dingtao only revealed half of his intentions that day, but he never mentioned the other half to Sang Qiulie at all.

What he wanted was indeed to provoke the relationship between Sanqiu's family and Xiao Yunfang.

But what he wanted to see more was that Sangqiu Zirui was forced to a desperate situation, and raised an army in anger, against the Xiao family.

As long as he is willing to raise troops, there will be chaos within Ziye, and it will be much easier for him to deal with Mu Liunian at that time.

But unexpectedly, the most important chess piece in his hand was rescued by someone.

Everything is tantamount to wasted.

Of course Huangfu Dingtao would not admit that he was inferior to Mu Liunian.

But he won't be stupid enough to confront Mu Liunian head-on.

If Mu Liunian can be given an enemy, or if he can divide some of his forces, he will naturally be happy.

But the reality is that he can't let him do what he wants.

Huangfu Dingtao learned that Xu Zeyuan, Sang Qiulie's son-in-law, who was guarding Qing County now, did not have much combat experience, at least, he had never participated in any major battles.

However, according to his estimate, it might not take a few days, He Shaobai, who Xiao Yunfang has been using very smoothly, will definitely come to support Qing County nearby.

Therefore, their only chance now is to make a quick decision.

It's just that the city walls of Qing County are extremely strong, and they can't easily conquer them.

It seems that we still have to think of a way.

The next day, Xu Zeyuan re-deployed his troops again, but he didn't see Sanqiulie coming out, so he had to invite him in person.

He was outside the tent, and he said it three times, but there was no movement inside. He was terrified and screamed that something was wrong. Unfortunately, when he rushed into the tent, he saw Sanqiulie lying on his bed.

There were blood stains on the bed and the floor.

Xu Zeyuan probed his nose and neck, probably committed suicide a few hours ago.

Xu Zeyuan looked around his big tent, and found a piece of paper on the table, pressed by an empty teacup.

Xu Zeyuan picked it up, looked at it carefully, shook his head and sighed, and then remembered the kit that Sangqiu Zirui gave him, and suddenly understood his intention.

Xu Zeyuan received the kit the morning after Qiyang Pass was breached, that is to say, at that time, Sangqiu Zirui had already received the news.

Otherwise, he would not have sent himself such a message.

With such speed, I don't know if Sangqiu Zirui is a god or a demon!

At that time, let alone Xiao Yun, even I only got the news in less than an hour. How did he get the news so quickly?

Now he understood what Sangqiu Zirui meant by sending this.

Rescue people, if Sanqiu Lie died in his own army, even if he committed suicide in fear of crime, or met his elders without face, he could still retain a trace of decency as a general.

If the news of his being captured into the enemy's camp spreads, I'm afraid that not only his first life's fame will be damaged, but even the entire Sancho family will be ashamed because of it.

After all, Sangqiu Zirui was his own nephew, and he had expected that with his temperament, it would be impossible for him to seek a glimmer of life.

It's clean to die like this.

At least, he doesn't have to always think about the shame of being captured, and he doesn't have to think about how to have an explanation to the emperor.

Xu Zeyuan didn't feel emotional for too long, when he received the news that the enemy army attacked the city.

At this time, nothing is as important as war.

After finally repelling the opponent's first wave of attack, it was already afternoon.

Xu Zeyuan hastily wrote an excerpt, full of voice and emotion, only saying that before his death, Sang Qiulie entered the enemy camp and killed countless enemy soldiers. In the end, he was exhausted and died at Qiyang Pass.

Xu Zeyuan ordered his troops to quickly send Zhezi into Liangcheng, and at the same time, another team was sent to send San Qiulie's coffin back.

In the evening of the same day, the enemy launched a fierce offensive again. This time, the two sides were deadlocked to the point where they were all exhausted, and there was no victory or defeat.

Xu Zeyuan simply ate something, and began to think desperately, trying to figure out a way to do it.

The court's decree has not been issued for a long time. Even if reinforcements are sent nearby, he can resist it for a while. Now it seems that the other party also expected this, so they attacked the city in such a hurry.

At this time, Xu Zeyuan couldn't help thinking that if the Cangming army wanted to attack Liaocheng, then this was the only way to go.

The other side wanted to win Qing County as soon as possible regardless of the cost. Could it be that they just wanted to confront Mu Liunian as soon as possible?
Is it for the sake of revenge?
Early the next morning, Xu Zeyuan was awakened by soldiers who came to report the news suddenly.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that I had slept on the table in the middle of the night.

"General Qi, General He brought one hundred thousand soldiers and horses over from Fenghuang Pass. I heard that it is according to the emperor's order."

"Okay! One hundred thousand troops, with General He, we can reach each other for at least a month."

What Xu Zeyuan said was estimated based on the opponent's 70 troops.

They are relatively familiar with the terrain around Qing County, and in addition, He Shaobai has fought against Prince Rui's son, so they also have some understanding of his tactics.

The [-] soldiers and horses in He Shaobai's hands are more capable than his subordinates.

It is said that the soldiers under He Shaobai have followed him for many years, through life and death, and have experienced countless battles, large and small.

Unlike the 20 soldiers under his command, nearly half of them are recruits who have never experienced a real war, so their combat effectiveness is naturally inferior.

Although there are recruits in the opponent's army, but now that he has [-] more elite troops to help him, his confidence is naturally doubled.

"General Qi, the other party has begun to gather troops again. It seems that they are preparing to attack the city."

"Quickly, go and inform General He, let him go directly to the city wall, everyone, get ready."

"Yes, General."
