In the next few days, Beihe had more surprise troops, trying to break through the defense line of the Huan army, but Gao Chi always held firmly on the east side of Xiangyang, not giving Beihe any opportunity to aid Guangchang, and finally four days later, under the siege of Gao Chi and Shangguan Xian, Mu Xiaohe broke through Guangchang City at the cost of 7,000 dead and wounded, killed 8,000 Yan troops, captured 10,000 horses, and obtained a lot of baggage and some military rations, only let Gong Shiyuan escape back to Xiangyang City with a guard.

Two days later, Mu Bai also succeeded in gaining an overlook of the upper reaches of the west of Xiangyang, while Jiang Mei occupied a favorable position in the upper northeast of Xiangyang, and the south was surrounded by Xiao Moheng, Mu Xiaohe, and Gao Chi.

On the third day of the fourth month of the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, Jiang Mei successfully joined forces with Xiao Moheng, and now the Huan army has surrounded Xiangyang on three sides, but Fancheng, which is across the river from Xiangyang, is still in the hands of Beihe, Jiang Mei does not plan to attack Fancheng, because she wants to leave a way for Beihe to retreat.

That night, Xiao Moheng and the others finally met Jiang Mei in the camp outside Xiangyang City. When Xiao Moheng greeted Mu Xiao and Xirong, he saw a dashing and uninhibited traceless son, and pulled a very reluctant Yun Yan with one hand, and then looked behind her, but found that Jiuzhu was surrounded by a man in a black shirt with a beautiful face. Xiao Moheng saw that the man's eyes were clear, and he was separated from Jiuzhu about Jiangmei, so he knew that his status and ability should not lose to Jiuzhu.

Then several people greeted each other, and they greeted each other together, Xiao Moheng looked at Jiang Mei slightly, from the beginning of the Battle of Yicheng to the present siege of Xiangyang, trapping Beihe in the high wall. The planning and preparation of these series definitely requires several years of accumulation, and Jiang Mei is not only at ease. It seems to be flying wildly. Think about the characters around her, there are tiger generals like Mu Bai and Fei Lian who are proud of the Three Kingdoms, guards with high martial arts skills like Jiuzhu, and many people and horses who are secretly subdued such as Gao Chi, and a huge Xiaoyue Tower, and a lot of people and things he doesn't know.......

It was only now that he really realized that Jiang Mei had already made full preparations for the Northern Expedition, and these layouts had already been in place long before he knew him.

Just as Xiao Moheng was looking at Jiang Mei with a complicated expression, the Yun Wuxian Gongzi at this moment discussed Yun Yan's problem with Mu Xiao and Gongzi.

"Shizi. He's only fourteen years old, so he can't be disciplined too strictly, just follow his temperament..."Jiang Mei is serious.

"I'm not disciplining him, it's just that you're too indulgent. Now his naughty temperament has been used to you..."Mu Xiaohe said earnestly.

Xiao Moheng was arguing with the two. It's really helpless. I had to persuade: "I said you two, now that Yun Yan is so old, he is smart and reasonable." If you know what you should do and what you shouldn't do, don't make any noise!" Xiao Moheng shook his head and chuckled.

And Yun Yan, who had been sullen, heard this, and nodded like a rattle as if he had met a bosom friend.

It caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Haha... Okay, okay, you're with hard wings, I can't control you anymore, so be it! Mu Xiaohe finally surrendered.

When the Traceless Son heard this, he thought that he had won, and put one hand on Yun Yan's shoulder, but he didn't care about the image at all, and at that moment, Yun Yan blushed like a monkey's ass. It's fun to see the traceless child.

Seeing that she could still joke so easily, Xiao Moheng was also very happy, Jiang Mei has always adhered to her duties in front of him and never exceeded etiquette, so it is really difficult for her to see like this. Although she had a man's face on her head, Xiao Moheng was still happy.

Only Gao Chi on the side, drinking tea by himself, laughing and not saying a word.

Jiang Mei is Jiang Mei after all, and she knows where to stop, so she quickly restrained her expression and said: "Your Highness, the prince, General Gao, Xiangyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to attack strongly, not to mention that Beihe and Murong Yue are sitting inside, so the best way is to force him to withdraw from Xiangyang!" ”

When everyone saw her talking about business, they all became focused.

"It's best not to attack, but it's easier said than done to make Beihe give up!" Mu Xiaohe sighed.

"Yes, unless he has a reason to go!" A hint of depth flashed in Xiao Moheng's eyes,

The four of them were silent for a while, and suddenly Xiao Moheng, Mu Xiaohe, and Gao Chi spoke at the same time: "Food!" ”

Jiang Mei smiled: "Exactly! Beihe has two grain routes, one is Luoyang through Nanyang to Xiangyang, the other is from Chang'an through Wuguan, now Nanyang line has been cut off by us, they have to rely on the Wuguan line, and... There's also the participation of Yiyun Pavilion..."

"Yiyun Pavilion?" Mu Xiaohe was surprised, it wasn't that he hadn't heard of Yiyun Pavilion, but he really didn't understand what kind of organization this was, "Doesn't our military rations also rely on them to deliver it?" Could it be that they also send food to the Yan army? Mu Xiaohe couldn't imagine that Yiyun Pavilion could stay out of the matter and participate in it.

"Yes, Yiyun Pavilion only takes over business, and doesn't care about other things, neither favoring Dayan nor Dahuan, so no one dares to offend them, this Beihe is embezzling the silver of my Chang'an Xiaoyue Tower, so he can buy hundreds of thousands of loads of grain from Yiyun Pavilion." Jiang Mei replied.

"What?" Mu Xiaohe was incredulous, "Beihe is actually this kind of person?" ”

"Hehe, the prince is serious, Mr. Beihe is a big husband and is informal, he suspects my Xiaoyue Lou of collecting intelligence, so he has already controlled the dock in Chang'an!" Jiang Mei smiled and said, as the owner of Xiaoyue Tower, she didn't seem to care.

Mu Xiaohe shook his head and chuckled: "The girl can still defend him, so open-minded, is really informal!" ”

Jiang Mei arched her hand and replied: "Don't dare to be!" ”

Gao Chi, who had been silent, continued: "In this way, we have to find a way to cut off the grain supply road in Chang'an!" ”

Xiao Moheng and Mu Xiaohe both nodded, thinking that they had to send troops to assault the Yan army's grain transportation team again.

Jiang Mei looked at everyone with a smile and said, "We are not going to attack the grain route of the Yan army, although there are only a few days of food in the Xiangyang army, but Beihe has already tuned a certain amount of grain in Xiangyang, we have to use two tricks to force Beihe to withdraw from Xiangyang!" ”

Everyone was a little surprised at first, and then pondered, "Which two tricks?" Xiao Moheng asked out loud.

"First, we must burn all the military rations stored in Beihe. When he ran out of food, he had two choices, the first choice was to retreat to Chang'an and retreat to himself, and the second choice was to use the soldiers' desire to survive to fight to the death with us and rob us of our military rations. Obviously, the second choice is not in our favor, once the Yan army fights hard, it will be difficult for us to be their opponents, so we need to use the second move - attack the place where it must be saved! Jiang Meitiao finished speaking clearly. looked at everyone with a light smile.

When the three of them heard this, they all thought about where the "place of salvation" of this North Crane was!

A split second later. The three of them looked at each other, apparently already knowing where this place was.

Xiao Moheng chuckled and said, "The girl wants to send someone to attack Wuguan!" ”

"Haha, exactly!" The Traceless Son smiled chicly,

Yun Yan suddenly interjected: "No wonder my little aunt asked me last time about Guanzhong Sisai!" ”

Hearing this, Traceless immediately came over. Pinched his face and said, "Oops." I thought you really didn't recognize me as an aunt..."

Yun Yan looked at the top of the tent speechlessly. I really don't know what to say about her.

Xiao Moheng suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "You just said that you want to burn the grain hidden in Beihe City, I'm afraid it's not easy to do!" ”

Jiang Mei snickered for a while. said: "Your Highness and the prince have forgotten that when you first arrived at Jingling, I let the attackers come and go?" ”

When the three of them heard this, they all suddenly realized, and they understood that Jiang Mei had already sent someone to infiltrate Xiangyang City, but Xiao Moheng and Mu Xiaohe thought about it carefully, and they had to admire Jiang Mei so much, it seemed that she could anticipate the enemy in everything, and even the two of them had faintly felt that Beihe seemed to have fallen into Jiang Mei's trap.

Mu Xiaohe frowned slightly, his heart was quite complicated, there was both admiration and admiration, but also suspicion and even worry, but he was a sincere person after all, so he said unabashedly: "It is not an exaggeration to describe the girl with materials like gods and no last resort!" ”

Jiang Mei was a little aware of it, and said with a wry smile: "The prince has won the award!" ”

"But... The girl must have made a lot of preparations for this! Mu Xiaohe's tone was soft, and even Yun Yan understood the sound outside the words.

Xiao Moheng lowered his eyes when he heard this, and looked at the wine glass on the desk, but did not speak, because Mu Xiaohe asked what he wanted to ask but couldn't.

Gao Chi is a person who knows the inside story, but this obviously doesn't do his business, so he has to pretend that it doesn't matter to him and quietly drink alone.

Jiang Mei laughed helplessly, looked at the teacup being played with in her hand with a faint look, and was silent.

Mu Xiaohe looked at her in a daze, and her thoughts returned to the Battle of Jingzhou, she took Jingling without any effort, and now it seems that that Fei Lian seems to be the person under her hands, if she continues to think about it, there are too many outstanding characters around her, almost all of them can take charge of themselves, plus she also has Xiaoyue Tower, not to mention that Beihe suspects that Xiaoyue Tower collects intelligence, even Mu Xiao and himself may believe it.

If you think about it like this, then who is Jiang Mei, why did she enter Beijing, and what is she going to do...

Mu Xiaohe seems to be more and more unable to understand her, but she is obviously accommodating and taking care of herself in every way, she doesn't seem to be a person with a plan, the more Mu Xiaohe thinks about it, but the more sad and helpless she feels in her heart. No matter how much you doubt her in your heart and don't understand her, you can't give birth to a trace of blame no matter what.

After a long time, Jiang Mei let out a long sigh and said, "When Xiangyang City is broken, Jiang Mei will give His Highness and the prince an explanation!" With that, she got up and left with Jiuzhu and Yue Hua who were guarding outside.

Mu Xiaohe shook his head sadly, and also got up to say goodbye to Xiao Moheng. Yun Yan just followed him back stupidly.

In the end, in the tent, only Xiao Moheng and Gao Chi remained. Xiao Moheng talked to Gao Chi again, it was nothing more than that the two had not chatted privately for a long time, so they talked about some military affairs and some happy things.

"Haha!" Xiao Moheng smiled happily, and then he also realized that the night was dark. Then he said: "It's getting late, the general will go back early to rest, let's see the girl's clever plan, just wait to recapture Xiangyang!" Xiao Moheng finally laughed.

"Yes!" After that, Gao Chi bowed down and withdrew from the main tent, and slowly returned to his tent, he looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky as he walked, and his heart was slightly happy, and he would always follow his footsteps in the future, unswervingly.

Between the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi to the seventh day of the first month, the Yan army went out three times in a row to attack the Huan army at night, although both sides were killed and wounded, but the Huan army was fully prepared, so the Yan army did not break through the blockade of the Huan army. On the contrary, it was Mu Bai and Shangguan Xian who were upstream on both sides of Xiangyang that put a lot of pressure on Xiangyang.

On the night of the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, Beihe and Murong Yue, who had sent three light cavalry to attack the Huan army at night, received two pieces of desperate news.

Sima Yu Yanbo of the Jin'an Palace, ran into the study where the two were discussing the matter, and cried: "Your Highness, sir, the military rations we hid in the north of the city have been burned to the ground..."

When Beihe heard this, the wine glass in his hand was instantly lost, and the wine spilled his clothes without realizing it. He sat down on the ground in abrupt sorrow, this was already his last trump card, and it was actually known to the enemy, which was obviously Xiao Moheng trying to force Yan Jun to death.

Although Murong Yue was also frightened, there were frequent reports of defeat in the past few days, so he was used to it, and still maintained a steady tone and said: "Sir, it seems that there are ghosts in Xiangyang City!" ”

"It's not important anymore...."Beihe said hoarsely, his tone full of exhaustion and helplessness. He closed his eyes low, not wanting to look up or make a sound.

Less than half a moment later, his secret guard Rongzhang reappeared in the study, and Murong Yue had an ominous premonition in his heart when he saw his steps approaching with a little heavy footsteps.

"Rongzhang, what's going on?" Murong Yue asked in a deep voice.

When Beihe heard the sound, he knew that Rong Zhang had come in, so he quickly opened his eyes, looked at him nervously, and waited for him to speak.

Rong Zhang lowered his head and said on one knee: "Your Highness, master, the two generals of the Huan Army are leading the army towards Wuguan, and they want to wait for an opportunity to seize Wuguan!" ”

Murong Yue raised his eyebrows, "Who led the soldiers and horses?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's Feilian and Liancheng'an who occupy Nanyang!"

Murong Yue moved his gaze to Beihe, who didn't look at the other two, but said coldly: "You all retreat!" ”

Rong Zhang and Yu Yanbo had no choice but to retreat softly.

In the study, Beihe and Murong Yue were silent for a long time.

Finally, Beihe took the lead in breaking the silence, "Your Highness, Xiao Moheng is forcing us to give up Xiangyang, he only gave us one choice, that is, to return to Wuguan and keep Chang'an!" ”

After calming down, Murong Yue just smiled bitterly: "Yes, I'm afraid all this is already in his calculations, and we are just turtles in the urn!" ”

Beihe looked pained, and lowered his voice and said: "But Xiangyang....How can I be willing to let go...."Beihe can't help but grieve, this is the important town he took from Yun Lingbo after three years of planning, this is the frontier position that he has painstakingly operated for fifteen years, in fact, in Beihe's heart, Xiangyang has long been like a child of his own, he has poured so many years of hard work, and suddenly let him give up, just like letting him abandon a beloved child, how can he not be heartbroken.
