Dong Ruyi smiled and said, "Why are you here?" Didn't you say I wouldn't let you come?"

Lilac jumped off the horse, "Miss Slave is not at ease." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Let's go, go back to the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Dong Ruyi's master and servant returned to the city lord's mansion.

Soon the news came from the border city, and Wan Taishou learned that Dong Ruyi had sent all the soldiers and generals in the city out, and he almost vomited blood in a hurry.

He hurriedly asked Deputy Commander Hu to talk to Xiao Ruide and Dong Shijie about the matter, and in the process they talked about more than 10,000 people between the two cities.

Wan Taishou was afraid that something would happen to Dong Ruyi, so he took the initiative to say that everything was in good condition in the border city, and when he learned that the two generals of Taicheng led the army out of the city, he suggested that the soldiers between the two cities be transferred to Taicheng.

Dong Ruyi said: "Zhang Feng, this matter is done according to Wan Taishou's wishes." ”

Knowing that Dong Ruyi's people between the two cities, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that Dong Ruyi would not be strong.

Dong Ruyi sat and looked into the distance, she slowly closed her eyes, the sound of even breathing sounded, and Dong Ruyi fell asleep while sitting.

Lilac tiptoed up the quilt and put it on Dong Ruyi, and then heard Dong Ruyi say, "Lilac, we're going home." ”

Lilac was overjoyed, and then saw that Dong Ruyi did not open her eyes, she listened to Dong Ruyi's breathing again, and then smiled: "It turned out to be a dream." ”

***

The general defending the city and the general Wu were divided into two routes, at first due to the terrain, it was the white mountain that General Sima entered, and the general Ma went to Chishui.

This is still the case today, with the garrison general leading 7,000 men into Baishan, while the 8,000 men led by General Wu marched towards Chishui.

While they were hurrying, they pursued the Hu army, which was scattered by them. The Xian Yu army who returned to the aid was miserable, and he thought that when he felt that it was too late anyway, he simply asked people to explore the situation in Bian and Tai Ercheng.

The results of the investigation made Xian Yu overjoyed, Taicheng was guarded by King Zhou and released 19,000 people, and the border city, a more critical place, except for the 16,000 people who died in battle.

Xian Yu recuperated the army, and the army of 200,000 of the eight tribes could only be 80,000 of the five tribes now.

In the first siege battle, they lost a leader and 80,000 soldiers, and in the night attack, they not only did not take the city, but also suffered more than 10,000 casualties. The remaining soldiers and the two tribal leaders were beheaded by the generals who rushed out of the city.

At this moment, if Xian Yuru hadn't heard that there were only 16,000 people in the border city and there were no reinforcements, he would have felt that this battle was hopeless.

Xian Yu changed the route of travel, and at this moment, General Wu and General Defending the City did not know, they still made a detour to pursue. It wasn't until they met the person they were looking for that they learned that the Hu people had disappeared.

Several people were worried and anxious, but they still went to meet the town border marquis and General Wan Da as originally planned.

When the two old partners, the town border marquis and the city guard general, met anew, there were no doubts, no questions, and some were just relaxed.

When the marquis at the edge of the town saw people coming from the city, he knew that the situation in the city was very good. As for the general defending the city, what could be more pleasing than seeing the old marquis safe and sound?

The situation on the other side is completely different from this one.

When General Wan Da saw General Wu and General Ma, he directly ordered to camp without saying a word, and he needed to know the situation in the border and Taiwan cities, and make the next marching plan.

General Wu said: "The border city is commanded by Wan Taishou, and the Taicheng is personally commanded by His Royal Highness King Zhou. The general doesn't need to worry about the city, but there is one thing that the lower officials are quite worried about. ”

He then talked about General Ma's mission and the fact that he pursued the Hu people all the way, but the Hu people disappeared.

General Wan was shocked when he heard this, because not many people knew about their march route this time.

General Wu said: "The first task is to find out the spies. ”

General Wan nodded, it is indeed important to find out the spies, but Taicheng is even more important, if Taicheng is forced and the border city is attacked inside and outside, it will be a big trouble.

He immediately said, "Governor Chen's mansion is not in trouble?"

General Ma said: "That Governor Chen doesn't know how to pretend to understand, if it weren't for the presence of the prince, my old horse would have wanted to cut him with a knife." "You must know that the earlier Taicheng was taken by General Ma with his troops.

After a few contacts, he hated Governor Chen's mansion, but fortunately, he changed General Wu within a few days of his reaction.

And General Wu was on the way, and he also said that these days because of the unpleasant arrival of Governor Chen.

The two of them heard General Wan mention it at this moment, and only then did they know that this Chen Governor's Mansion was already angry and resentful in Northern Xinjiang.

General Wu said: "Before the lower officials led the troops out of the city, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou had already sent Governor Chen to prison. ”

General Wan exclaimed: "What, go to prison?

General Wu shook his head, "Xiaguan will be in a hurry, so he didn't ask in detail." General Wan doesn't have to worry too much, the guards and entourage around His Royal Highness King Zhou are good, let's go back and inquire. ”

General Wan Da saw that General Wu said this, and he didn't continue to ask, just thinking about quickly meeting with the old marquis, and then deciding the rest of the matter.

The two teams of men and horses marched forward quickly, and soon the vanguard of the two teams came into contact. At their speed, the army would meet in two days.

It's just that at this time, there was news that Xian Yu's army of 80,000 was desperately attacking the border city.

The Marquis of Zhenbian was shocked, and he arranged: "General Lu, the 260,000 people accompanying you will be handed over to you." ”

The general guarding the city said: "Hou Ye, don't worry, the lower officials will fight to the death, and they will also be escorted into the city." ”

At this time, if it was someone else, the town marquis would not make such a decision, but the general defending the city was enough to deter his subordinates regardless of his age or military exploits.

The Marquis of Zhenbian personally led 12 generals and 60,000 soldiers from the northern frontier to rush to support.

The remaining 80,000 Hu people were also red-eyed, because their food was only enough to last for five days. That is to say, if they still can't take the border city in five days, then they have only one way to come, and that is to starve to death with sacrifices.

The onslaught on the first day made Wan Taishou understand that this would be the last attack of Hu's army. Although they worked hard, there was a hint of joy in their hearts. I thought it would drag on for a year and a half, but who thought that the war would end in just a few months.

If it was before, he would have thought about waiting until his father and brother came to support, but now he is full of thoughts about how to fight this battle.

An adjutant's voice came from outside, "Taishou, General Zheng came to support with the remaining grain and grass and 10,000 grain guards." ”

Wan Taishou said happily: "Hurry up and be affectionate." "Because of Xiao Ruide and Dong Shijie's relief, there is not much grain and grass in General Zheng's hands at this time. And at this moment, guarding the food is not as good as entering the city to face the enemy.

General Zheng walked in, he clenched his fists and said, "Wan Taishou is very powerful, if you have any orders, just give orders." ”

Wan Taishou hurriedly shook his head, "Where is my credit, the prince is the biggest hero of this war." ”
