On the other side, after Yang Lian, the envoy of Wu Yueguo, stayed in the post house for a while, he saw that the people of Hui'an Mansion didn't pay much attention to him, so he quietly went to Muzhou City.

He was very cautious, and after staying in Muzhou City for three days, he went to the barracks and asked the guards to forward a letter to Yu Xun, only saying that they would meet each other.

Although he didn't know Yu Xun, he had already investigated and learned that Yu Xun was also from Hangzhou, and although there were no immediate relatives, there were still several distant relatives.

Before he came, he made all the preparations and went to visit a distant cousin of Yu Xun, in which he only said that he was a friend of Yu Xun's distant cousin, and he had heard him mention Yu Xun and came to visit.

Who knew that after the soldiers guarding the door took the letter to report, Yu Xun did not receive him.

After Yang Lian returned to his residence and pondered for a day, he decided to take a risk and sent another letter to Yu Xun in the name of Wu Yue's envoy, which expressed his admiration for Yu Xun, complimented him as the first general in the world, and finally sighed, saying that it was a pity that a general like him could only bring a few thousand men and horses.

Yang Lian believed that Yu Xun could understand what he meant.

He was not mistaken, and on the second day, he was invited into the Muzhou City military camp.

After seeing Yu Xun for the first time, Yang Lian secretly praised it, thinking that he was really beautiful, different from ordinary generals.

When he was about to speak, Yu Xun spoke first, and he smiled and said, "When Wu Yueguo sent an envoy to Hui'an Mansion, I was wondering if you would come to me?" ”

"General?" Yang Lian was stunned.

"To be honest, I'm upset to see you coming, which means that in your eyes I'm a naturally rebellious and treacherous person, right?" Yu Xun said coldly.

Yang Lian was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said: "General, you misunderstood, I just admired you very much, so I came to visit, and I had no other intentions." ”

Yu Xun sneered as he held the letter that Yang Lian had written for him between his two fingers: "Then what does the last sentence in this mean?" ”

"This is a little exclamation under it, and there is no other intention!"

"Isn't it ridiculous that you, an envoy of Wu Yueguo, stayed restlessly in Hui'an Mansion, but secretly went to Muzhou to write me such a letter, and said that it was to express your admiration for me?"

"It's really admiration, General Mingjian, Mingjian!" Yang Lian said in horror.

"Come on, drag it down and cut it down, and send the head to Hui'an Mansion!" Yu Xun said lightly.

Yang Lian said hurriedly: "I am the envoy of Wu Yue, you can't kill me!" ”

Amid the shouting, he was dragged out of the camp, and it wasn't long before the screaming stopped abruptly.

Yu Xun immediately ordered someone to dedicate Yang Lian's head to Hui'an Mansion, and at the same time reported the other party's persuasion to surrender to Lu Yuan to show his loyalty.

Two days later.

When Lu Yuan received the letter from Yu Xun in the study, he was very annoyed, and he couldn't imagine that Wu Yueguo came to negotiate on the surface, but secretly wanted to poach his generals!

Fortunately, Yu Xun was loyal to himself and killed the messenger, which made him trust Yu Xun a little more, and now the relationship with Wu Yue has completely deteriorated, and they should send troops to attack Muzhou next.

Thinking of this, he said to one of the guards beside him: "Xiao Wu, you immediately go to the Engineer Academy to send an order, let them speed up the construction of those three sea falcon ships, and at the same time go to Sun Shaoyin and ask her to allocate another 50,000 taels of silver to the Engineer Academy." ”

"Yes."

On the other side, after Qingyuan's envoy Xuanfei learned that Yang Lian was killed, he did not beat around the bush and expressed Qingyuan's willingness to ally with Hui'an Mansion to Hui'an Mansion.

Lu Yuan now has a lot of enemies, so naturally he will not refuse, and agreed to Qingyuan's request for an alliance, but he also knows that in this era, this kind of verbal alliance does not have much effect, he has not even seen the effect of staying in the field, maybe one day he will turn his head and ally with Wu Yue again, so in the end he still has to rely on himself.

What he didn't know was that after Xuanfei left Hui'an Mansion, he did not return to Qingyuan, but secretly went to Chizhou.

This is how a busy November passed.

In mid-December, the New Year is approaching, and many people have begun to prepare New Year's goods at home, preparing for the arrival of the New Year, but Tongling City, thousands of miles away, is experiencing a bloody storm.

Chizhou.

Lu Weiyi didn't have the slightest thought about celebrating the New Year at the moment, because the Tang army outside the city was attacking Tongling City day and night like crazy, and the corpses on the city wall were all over the field, and he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days and nights.

At this moment, he regretted very much why he didn't repair Tongling City in advance, so that it would be much easier for him to defend the city.

On the city wall, the soldiers are moving the corpses piled up on the city wall down the city, because the city wall is low, the other party can easily come up, so there are often city wall battles, fortunately, Lu Weiyi's defenders are also quite numerous, which is consumed.

However, after a long siege, the morale of the army is getting lower and lower, and his pressure is increasing, even if he is asleep, he will often wake up suddenly.

He also tried to organize a cavalry counterattack, but the enemy army was strong and quick to respond, he didn't get much bargain every time he went out of the city, and he was almost trapped outside the city, and he was deeply aware of how terrible the Tang Army's forbidden army was at this moment.

It would be nice to hold on a little longer, he said to himself, and reinforcements would arrive soon.

He was not counting on reinforcements from Hui'an Mansion, but Deng Xuanli's troops that he left in the east, which he left behind to deal with Hui'an Mansion and prevent them from taking advantage of the fire to loot.

Now that the Hui'an Mansion agreed to reinforcements, he naturally would not fight his own ideas again, so he gave Deng Xuanli an order to lead the army to support Tongling.

After a few days and nights of siege battles, the Tang army and the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and now the Tang army has only more than 30,000 people, and the Tongling defenders only have more than 15,000 people.

While thinking about it, the drums of the Tang army's siege came again, Lu Weiyi walked to the city wall, looked down, and saw the Tang army swarming densely like ants.

He drew the long sword at his waist and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, reinforcements will arrive soon, defend this pass, and victory will be ours!" ”

A bloody battle to defend the city began again, the soldiers on the city wall kept throwing stones, stakes, and the soldiers below were not afraid to die and climbed up the city wall with a ladder, and not long after, when the first soldier went up to the city wall, it was announced that the city wall battle began again.

In the camp of the Tang Army, the main general Li Jingda was listening to music in the camp tent, and what he listened to was naturally not the opera of Sheng, Song and Yan Dance that he usually listened to, but Wang Changling's military march.

The singer was specially brought by him from the palace, and she sang in a high-pitched voice:

Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at Yumen Pass.

The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken.

Li Jingda was very satisfied with what he heard, and he felt that such a song should be able to inspire his soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy.

The imperial brother is urging very urgently, but Li Jingda has been familiar with all kinds of books since he was a child, including military books, and he knows that as the main general, he must always show calm and indifference, so that his subordinates can rest assured.

He listened to the music for this purpose, although there was a river of blood outside, his Royal Highness the King of Qi could still listen to the music calmly, is this something that ordinary people can do?

He believed that the soldiers and soldiers were full of admiration for him at this moment, and their morale would be even stronger.

At this moment, Fang Yiwu, the main general of the reinforcements from the Jianwu Army, walked into his camp tent and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the enemy is very stubborn, and I am afraid that this time I will still not be able to capture Tongling City." ”

"Do you have any great ideas?" Li Jingda said lightly.

"The last general thinks that the key is in Jiujiang Port, this port is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to capture from the waterway, the Fenghua army has not been defeated so far to prove this, but the land attack is much easier, we should bypass Tongling City, go straight to Jiujiang Port, as long as Jiujiang Port is captured, and 20,000 Fenghua troops converge, then turn back and destroy the rebels in one fell swoop."

Li Jingda shook his head and said: "The idea sounds okay, but the imperial brother's order is for us to take Tongling City as soon as possible, but it didn't say that we should fight other places." ”

"The last general thinks that His Majesty should mean that he wants us to destroy the rebels as soon as possible." Fang Yiwu groaned.

"Why, you know the imperial brother better than this king?" Li Jingda glared at him and said coldly.

"The last general will not dare."

"Okay, if you want to make meritorious service, you want to take Tongling City, I have handed over the command of the army to you, this king is equivalent to supervising the army, if you don't complete the order of the imperial brother at that time, don't blame this king for not giving you good words in the future." Li Jingda said coldly.

He grew up in the royal family, and he was good at not only reading, but also playing politics.

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Fang Yiwu's forehead, and he said in a low voice, "The last general knows." ”

However, the battle lasted for the night, and the Tang army still did not take Tongling City, because the soldiers were exhausted, Fang Yiwu had no choice but to order the siege to be suspended.

Seeing this, Li Jingda sent a letter to Li Jing overnight, writing: "The imperial brother respects Qi, the younger brother knows that he is not good at military affairs, so he will give up the command and concentrate on supervising the imperial brother, but the subordinate brother urges in every possible way, but the main general is unwilling to do his best, Tongling City is still not taken, and the subordinate brother is afraid that he will not be entrusted by the imperial brother, and he can't sleep at night, so he wrote a letter to inform the subordinate brother Jingda." ”

The purpose of his letter is to lay the foundation for the unfavorable war in the future, with this letter, even if he loses in the future, Li Jing will only blame Fang Yiwu, not himself.

Two days later, the Tang army attacked the city again, and the two sides had gradually shifted from the contest of combat power to the contest of willpower, Fang Yiwu faintly felt that the Ning Guo army had reached the limit, and decided to take Tongling City today and annihilate the Ning Guo army.

However, just as he was attacking the city, the rear formation was suddenly chaotic, and a herald reported to Fang Yiwu that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, Fang Yiwu's heart sank, and he ordered the siege troops to retreat and fight against the troops outside the city first.

At this moment, the Ning Guojun in the city rushed out, attacking inside and out, the Tang army was in chaos, and in the panic, Li Jingda rode a horse and rushed north under the protection of a group of guards.

Fang Yiwu commanded the defeated army and retreated slowly and orderly, so that the enemy army could not force each other too much.

After the Tang army retreated, Lu Weiyi knew that the reinforcements were actually from Hui'an Mansion, and Deng Xuan, who he was looking forward to, was nowhere to be found.
