Xu Rong, a handsome talent that makes Gongsun Du salivate, is rare in this era.

After coming to Goguryi, he quickly took over the right to lead the troops from Yangyi, and under his arrangement, Goguryi can be said to be impregnable, even if Xianbei has an army of 20,000 to attack, it does not take the slightest advantage.

However, Xianbei's strength should not be underestimated, although it did not take advantage, the onslaught of more than ten days also caused the defenders of Goguryi to suffer great losses, more than 3,000 people, and more than 1,000 soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to fight again, directly losing more than 40% of their combat strength. The number of Xianbei losses, including those seriously injured, was only more than 3,000.

In this way, compared with Xianbei, Goguryicheng is more and more at a disadvantage.

Xu Rong was not Gongsun Du, and he did not order the recruitment of some young men in the city for training, otherwise he could make up for the lack of troops, however, this was only a hypothesis.

After not receiving news from Houcheng for a long time, Yang Yi couldn't help but ask for orders and wanted to bring some people to support, but was stopped by Xu Rong. Because the situation in Gao Guli is also very unfavorable, if there is no Yangyi to share the pressure of defending the city, Xu Rong doesn't know how long he can hold it. However, he was also worried, but he still sent 500 people out of the city to support Houcheng.

In fact, Xu Rong still believed that Gongsun Du could hold Houcheng, but judging from the news gathered from other cities, each city had three or five thousand Xianbei troops besieging the city, and the situation was very grim. If you want to defeat Xianbei, you have to make a change, and this change, Xu Rong didn't dare to make a decision on his own, he was worried that he would bury the entire Liaodong and Xuansu and become a sinner in history.

It's not that he's timid and doesn't dare to take responsibility, but he is in a different position, he is just a subordinate of Gongsun Du, a qualified commander, but he is not a hero who controls the world.

Three days have passed since the sending of support, and Xu Rong has not yet heard any news about it.

After repelling Xianbei's attack again that evening, Yang Yi hurriedly broke into Xu Rong's room and yelled at him angrily: "Xu Tingfang, Xu Duwei, Xu Youduwei, what do you want to do?" There has been no news from the lord for so many days, what are you trying to do? ”

"Oh, so-and-so got it!" Yang Yi suddenly said as if he had a sudden realization.

Xu Rong didn't understand what he understood, and looked at Yang Yi suspiciously, but saw that Yang Yi's face was full of scrutiny, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Huh!" Yang Yi smiled disdainfully: "You have always been reluctant to worship the lord, I'm afraid you have other thoughts, right?" Now that the lord is in danger, I'm afraid you want the lord to die, right? ”

"You ......" Xu Rong couldn't help but be angry, but he didn't know where to start.

"What are you, is it something that makes you feel embarrassed?" Yang Yi still said with disdain.

Xu Rong opened his mouth to explain, but he still didn't know how to explain, so he could only snort coldly and said, "Hmph, it's unreasonable!" If you do this again, don't blame Captain Ben Right for taking you down in the name of ignoring military discipline and shaking the morale of the army! ”

"Take so-and-so?" Yang Yi was startled at first, and looked at Xu Rong carefully, and said, "Tut-tut, although you are the captain of the right capital, but you are the captain of the lord's personal army, what right do you have to take so?" Could it be that your heart is empty? It was said that the central thought was to kill people and kill people? ”

Xu Rong didn't bother to pay attention to Yang Yi's unreasonable trouble, and shouted: "Okay, you retreat now, I won't embarrass you, otherwise in order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, I have to take you down." ”

Yang Yi saw that Xu Rong's face became serious, and knew that if he continued, he would definitely let people take him down, so he had to keep his mouth shut, but in his heart, he was thinking about whether he should gather some people to quietly go out of the city to support Gongsun Du.

If Xu Rong knew Yang Yi's thoughts, he might regret that he didn't take it down without shame just now! Because this is exactly what Xu Rong is worried about, if Yang Yi is allowed to make such a fuss, whether Gongsun Du is safe or not, it will make the already slightly low morale become impetuous.

After all, Gongsun Du is the current captain of Dongyi who resists foreign races, and he is the savior in the eyes of everyone!

If the saviors are gone, will there be salvation?

Yang Yi didn't know that his thoughts almost became the fuse for the collapse of Xuanwu and Liaodong, but fortunately, he just thought about it, he was still a soldier who obeyed the rules, and he didn't really make a move beyond the rules.

As night fell, Xu Rong inspected the barracks, looked at the soldiers who had fallen asleep, but were still tired, sighed, but rushed to the city wall to inspect again.

Xu Rong has always attached great importance to defending at night, and it is precisely because of this that seven or eight days ago, Xianbei's night attack would end without a problem, although the loss was not small, but it was finally held. This is also one of the reasons why Yang Yi is dissatisfied, but still suppresses it.

The four city gates walked all over, and no one was found to be lazy, and there was no sign of Xianbei's night attack again, so he slept in the north gate gate.

It was night, the crooked willow eyebrows were hanging on the willow tops, and Xu Rong was suddenly woken up.

"Right Captain, there is news of the lord."

Hearing this, Xu Rong hurriedly rubbed his sleepy cheeks and said, "What's the news, who came from it?" ”

"Captain Hui You, he is the lord's personal soldier."

"Well, Captain Ben will come out right away, wait a while." As Xu Rong spoke, he had already picked up the saber he was carrying, and then quickly opened the door.

"Hmm!" Xu Rong looked at the guards of Gongsun Du's personal soldiers, and saw that it was indeed the person he had seen, and said, "What orders do you have for your lordship?" ”

"The lord has a verbal order for the villain to come and convey it." The pro-soldier did not directly say the order, but said so.

Xu Rong understood and waved back the others, but his right hand quietly touched the hilt of the sword. Again, the situation is critical at this time, and it is impossible to be too cautious.

Seeing the rest of the people retreating, the soldiers said in a low voice: "The lord has an order, and he ordered the right captain to gather two thousand elites to the north city gate, and he will understand when he arrives at the ugly city." ”

Xu Rong frowned when he heard this, he didn't know what this meant, but he still responded: "Yes, please return to Lord Su has received an order." This was his tentative words, not really, and at the same time his right hand grasped the hilt of the sword, which could come out of its sheath at any moment.

When the soldiers heard this, they said: "When I came, the lord had already instructed the villain to let the villain not have to go out of the city again, and follow the right captain." ”

Xu Rong was somewhat relieved when he heard this, if this person asked to go out of the city, it would inevitably make people wonder if it was a false order to lure him out of the city.

Then Xu Rong looked at the night and found that it was not far from the time of Chouyin, that is, the end of the Choushi and the beginning of the Yin, and there was still more than an hour left. So he didn't rest anymore, and simply began to choose people.

Before the two thousand people were selected, Yang Yi heard the movement and rushed over, looked at Xu Rong and said, "Tingfang, is there any news from the lord?" ”

Xu Rong was willing to ignore it, but seeing Yangyi's face full of anticipation, he glanced around, and saw that the nearest soldier was also about ten steps away, so he nodded and said in a low voice: "That's right!" ”

"Really?" Yang Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Rong's face sank, and he said, "Be quiet, if the news leaks, can you afford it?" ”

Yang Yi is not stupid, so he quickly covered his mouth, and then shook his head, indicating that he would not.

Xu Rong was relieved.

Yang Yi leaned closer and said, "Tingfang, tell me what news the lord has?" ”

Xu Rong hesitated for a moment and did not reply immediately, because Yang Yi's actions just now made him a little uneasy, thought for a while, and said, "You wait for a while, wait for a certain person to finish the things explained by the adult, and then you come to a certain room." ”

Yang Yi was immediately unhappy, but Xu Rong had made up his mind, ignored him anymore, and left directly. Yang Yi snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, and then hurriedly followed, until Xu Rong finished picking people.
