Guancheng County was surrounded on three sides, Cui Quan's army was defeated in both battles, losing more than 6,000 soldiers, Cui Quan left 150,000 soldiers to guard the three city gates, and the rest of the army was stationed in the city to maintain order.

Cui Quan came to the Assassin's Mansion and told Cui Junxuan and others about the situation outside the city.

Several people were shocked when they heard this, and Cui Junqiu's face was even paler as paper, "How is it possible?" According to what you said, there are more than 100,000 troops outside the city, and among them are the soldiers and horses brought by Wang Yu Lao'er from Suizhou! Doesn't this mean that the imperial court has long known that we are going to raise troops? But Guancheng County has blocked the city gate for more than a month, how did the news get out? ”

Zheng Shuwu looked depressed and muttered, "It's over!" It's all over! If I knew today, I shouldn't have listened to your Cui Junxuan's slander in the first place! Now that Guancheng County is besieged by a large army, what should I do? ”

Cui Junxuan glanced at Zheng Shuwu lightly, but didn't say anything, because at this time, he didn't have the heart to argue about anything.

Cui Wenshan is the oldest of the three, but because he is well-maintained and the one with the best bones, he stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and said:

"It's not time for life and death yet, there are only a hundred thousand troops outside the city, but we have an army of 300,000! What's more, our Boling Cui clan and Xingyang Zheng clan didn't go all out, we can also mobilize 50,000 secret guards and thousands of family dead soldiers from outside the city! Besides, none of our three families have made a sacrifice yet, and with their martial arts, they can be a hundred! When the time comes, we will attack inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to fight a way out!

But at that time, Li Shimin would definitely not let us go. But a few of us can go to the Turks, or go to the islands of the South Seas to live in seclusion, and when the time is ripe, we can return to the Central Plains! ”

After hearing this, Cui Junxuan and Zheng Shuwu were all bright-eyed, and Zheng Shuwu hurriedly said: "Then according to Brother Cui's opinion, how should we deal with it now?" ”

Cui Wenshan muttered: "You and I, first use flying pigeons to pass the book, mobilize the secret guards outside, let them rush to Zhengzhou as soon as possible, and then we will wait for the opportunity to move!" During this time, we just need to be careful of the army outside the city! Our army can't beat it outside, but we can defend the city, with the city wall as a support, the hundreds of thousands of troops outside can't attack the city at all! ”

"Yes, yes, then let's defend the city first, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will attack inside and outside and kill a bloody road! Didn't a group of recruits be recruited before? Let them guard the city gates, even if the imperial army attacks the city, it will not be our people who will be killed or wounded. Later, with the strength of our few families, where can't we dominate one side? ”

Zheng Shuwu listened and nodded again and again.

Cui Junyue also felt reasonable, he turned to look at Pan Zhenyue, and ordered: "Zhenyue, send a new army to defend the city, the veterans are on the side to supervise, martial law in the city, it is strictly forbidden for the people to gather to make trouble, let all the guests of Cui Mansion regularly go to the various squares to give lectures, appease the people's emotions, and encourage the people to help us defend the city!" Intensify patrols to prevent people from inciting people to take refuge in the imperial court! ”

"Yes! Taigong! Students, let's arrange it~! ”

Pan Zhenyue arched his hand and went out with Cui Quan!

………………………………

"Hey! Joined the army, we really didn't go to Luoyang today, this Wei Zuocheng is really like a god! You said, how did he know that the Xuanjia Army and pacified them so that they could lead the army to come today~? Joining the army, do you say that Wei Zuocheng is an old man? ”

Guancheng County, Dongcheng.

Liu Renliang's team was standing on top of the city to defend the city, and seeing that there were no outsiders around, Lao Feng whispered excitedly.

Liu Renliang said lightly: "Presumably, it was Miss Li Yu who used a telegraph to transmit a message to Chang'an that day, the Xuanjia Army's combat strength is unparalleled, and the speed is also amazing, from Chang'an to Zhengzhou, it can be reached in less than two days under the condition of marching with all its might, Wei Zuocheng should have calculated the time in private!" As for the pacification envoy, it must not be difficult for him to mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses within two days! ”

"Oh! I thought Wei Zuocheng was an old fairy who could pinch and calculate! ”

Feng Wu scratched his head, muttered, and then said: "Hey, join the army, I just heard that Cui Quan's army met Wang Yu, the assassin of Suizhou, and our army of Lord Shi, outside the west city gate, the two sides fought a bloody battle, and Cui Quan left six thousand corpses and fled back to the city!" ”

"Wang Yu? Suizhou is more than 400 miles away from Zhengzhou, how can he appear in Zhengzhou now? ”

Liu Renliang was suddenly puzzled, and after pondering for a moment, he said:

"Now that Guancheng County is besieged on three sides, the Cui family will either go out of the city to meet the battle and fight a bloody road, or stick to the city and wait for reinforcements from the Cui family in Boling and the Zheng family in Xingyang! However, in my opinion, it is more likely that they will choose the latter, so before their reinforcements arrive, we must find ways to get in touch with the army outside the city, otherwise it is really possible for the Cui family to escape this time! I'll find a way to go back tonight, discuss with Wei Zuocheng, and you can help me cover up! ”

Feng Wu nodded and said: "Don't worry about joining the army, it's cold this night, and no one will come to inspect it, so don't worry!" ”

…………………………

Outside the city.

The Xuanjia army and the local state government army have already set up tents and started to bury pots and make food, obviously they are planning to set up camp outside the city!

South of the city, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General Duan, now that this Guancheng County is besieged by us on three sides, the rebels are unable to fly, I don't know when General Duan plans to attack the city~?"

Henan Dao's pacification envoy Ren Can also came to the Xuanjia Army's Chinese army tent, at this time, he looked at Duan Zhixuan and asked.

Don't look at him as an ambassador of appeasement, but in the face of Duan Zhixuan, he doesn't dare to be slack, the change of Xuanwu Gate, Duan Zhixuan is also among them, this is a real hero from the dragon!

Duan Zhixuan picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, then pondered for a moment, and said: "We only have 150,000 troops, although we are not afraid of the Cui family's coalition army in the open area, but if we want to attack the city with this point, it is tantamount to wishful thinking!" Besides, the Xuanjia army is only suitable for field battles, and is not good at attacking cities, so let's besiege first and not attack, and in two days, the army under the management of General Li will arrive, and then we will discuss the siege of the city! ”

"Hmmm! So the best! ”

Ren Can and Wang Yu both nodded.

……………………………

It's night, and there's no moon.

There are many torches on the tower of Guancheng County, although under normal circumstances, no one will attack the city at night, but there are still many soldiers guarding the tower.

Liu Renliang used the excuse of going to the toilet to sneak away, evading many patrol soldiers along the way, and finally came to the house in Wuningfang in the south of the city.

"Is Liu coming back from joining the army?"

At this time, Wei Zheng and the others had not yet fallen asleep, and when they heard a movement at the mouth of the well, Wei Zheng asked in a low voice.

"It's me! It's me! ”

Liu Renliang answered, and hurriedly walked over, and at this time in the tunnel, a faint candlelight was also lit, and Liu Renliang said to everyone excitedly: "Good news! Good news! In a few days, you won't have to hide in this tunnel! ”

Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Brother Liu, are there any reinforcements arriving?" ”

Girls love to be clean, since moving into this tunnel, the little girl has not taken a bath for several days, and her whole body is uncomfortable! Besides, there is not much ventilation in this tunnel, and there are so many people living in it, so the smell will naturally not be good, she is really fed up here!

Liu Renliang glanced at Xiao Yu'er appreciatively and said, "Miss Li Yu guessed correctly, it is indeed the reinforcements sent by the imperial court that have arrived!" Including the 3,000 Xuanjia Army, the 130,000 troops mobilized by the Henan Provincial Pacification Envoy, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses brought by Wang Yu, the assassin of Suizhou, and the more than 150,000 troops, have surrounded Guancheng County! When the army outside the city breaks through the city, Wei Zuocheng, you will be saved! ”

"Yikes! That's great! That's great! The title has finally sent an army! We're finally seeing the light of day! ”

When Xiao Yu'er heard this, she immediately cheered.

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's too early to say this, just with the army outside the city, it will definitely not be able to capture the city, and all this will have to wait until the follow-up army arrives in Guancheng!" ”

"The follow-up army? Why did Wei Zuocheng conclude that there would be a large army arriving later? ”

Liu Renliang wondered.

At the beginning, after they sent information to the imperial court in Songyue Temple, they came back, as for how the imperial court arranged it, then they don't know!

Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Duan Zhixuan's Xuanjia Army is highly mobile and fast, so it is very suitable as the vanguard of a surprise attack!" Since His Majesty has sent the Xuanjia Army to take the lead, it is naturally impossible to have no follow-up in the future, wait, Wang Yu's appearance shows that His Majesty has long been wary of the Cui family, this war, the lineup sent by the imperial court should not be underestimated, and it is impossible for the Cui family to win! ”

"Hmmm! What Wei Zuocheng said is very true! ”

Liu Renliang nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Yu'er opened his mouth at this time: "Wei Zuocheng, since we have reinforcements behind us, do you think the Cui family will also have reinforcements outside the city?" ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, his eyes sank, and after a while, he looked at Liu Ren's track: "This question has to be asked to Liu Senjun!" ”

Liu Renliang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The last general thinks that the Cui family will definitely have reinforcements. ”

"Why?"

"Back to Wei Zuocheng, as far as the last general knows, the current 300,000 soldiers and horses in the city, in addition to the young men recruited in the past few months, the rest are the soldiers and horses of the state capital and the secret guards raised by the Cui family. And today they chose to defend the city instead of going out of the city to face the battle, which just confirmed the guess of the last general! ”

Liu Renliang replied with his fists clenched.

The atmosphere in the tunnel became solemn again, Wei Zheng stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice: "Now it depends on who will arrive in Guancheng first!" If the Cui family's reinforcements arrive first, they will definitely go out of the city to patrol, and under the attack from inside and outside, the situation will not be good! ”
