The officers and soldiers were all surprised, and after Zhao Qiang knelt down to receive the things from Liang Jia, all the officers and soldiers knelt down and saluted, and the mountains shouted like a tsunami.

Zhao Ximei was very depressed, and as soon as she finished saluting here, she urged Liang Jia to hurry back to the city.

Liang Jia also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he asked everyone to hurry up and clean up the battlefield and return to the city.

However, the movements on their side were still known to King Qing's army, and they reported it to their commander as soon as possible, that is, Cao Deguang, the first general under King Qing.

Cao Deguang was also taken aback when he received the report from his subordinates.

Has the little emperor arrived in Hengshui? Why didn't they get a little bit of news? You must know that they also have a lot of eyeliner in the capital, and even there are many spies in Hengshui City.

But when the little emperor arrived, no one reported it in time, these people are simply damned.

"Someone. The whole army was ordered to quickly make a fire and make food, and attack Hengshui City an hour later. This time, we must take Hengshui and capture the little emperor alive. ”

After Cao Deguang's order was given, he immediately asked people to pass the news to Guiyang, the capital city of Guizhou Province, which was far away in the capital of Guizhou Province.

After receiving the report, King Qing of Guiyang, who is now the emperor of Qingguo, was very excited and immediately wanted to drive the expedition in person and eliminate the little emperor in Hengshui.

He ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses in Guiyang and rushed to Hengshui in a hurry.

On his way to catch up with Hengshui, Cao Deguang had already attacked Jishui City three times, but all of them were unsuccessful.

Of course, Zhao Ximei has also been under tremendous pressure these days. Cao Deguang attacked the city like crazy, and saw that Jishui was about to be unable to hold it, but the emperor did not leave, and he couldn't say that he would give up Jishui and retreat to Hengshui.

Zhao Ximei's hair was falling out like crazy.

Cao Deguang is really crazy, he has been doing his best to attack Jishui every day for a while, if it weren't for him Zhao Ximei being completely prepared, it is estimated that Jishui would have been unable to hold it for a long time.

In his opinion, it is completely unworthy to fight to the death with Jishui and Cao Deguang.

But in Liang Jia's view, the battle to the death in Jishui is very worthwhile. Cao Deguang knew that he was here, and he frantically attacked Jishui, and the imperial court took this opportunity to constantly consume the living force of King Qing's army, which was very desirable.

After all, King Qing now only has the land of three provinces, and the soldiers in the land of the three provinces are not as many as the imperial court. In the end, it was King Qing who suffered.

Although Zhao Ximei could think of this, he didn't dare to joke about the emperor's safety. If Jishui or Hengshui is lost, it will be lost, but the emperor can't have an accident, if the emperor has an accident, then the world will really be in chaos.

Now that the emperor has not been in power for a long time, there are no heirs, if something happens to the emperor, the court will definitely be in turmoil, and finally give King Qing a chance to take advantage of.

Therefore, Zhao Ximei couldn't wait for Liang Jia to leave Jishui County quickly, and it was best to leave the front line and return to the capital, so that he could let go of his hands and feet and grind with King Qing's army.

It is unrealistic to destroy King Qingwang's army in a short time, and he can only engage in a protracted war of attrition with the other side, forcing the other side to disintegrate from within.

In the eyes of officials in the imperial court, Zhao Ximei's strategy is simply an unenterprising behavior, which must be criticized and condemned. This is the reason why Zhao Ximei was frequently attacked by Yanguan in the early stage.

If Liang Jia didn't understand the situation at the time and didn't make a hasty judgment, it is estimated that Zhao Ximei would have been in prison at this time.

After personally participating in several city defense battles, Liang Jia personally felt that the combat effectiveness of the army under King Qing was indeed much higher than that of the imperial court.

Originally, they wanted to go to Guangling, but they were repeatedly delayed by siege battles.

On this day, after another siege battle, Liang Jia and Ying Yue were patrolling the city wall.

For these soldiers defending the city in Jishui County, the previous battles were just to do their due duty, but now they are fighting for the emperor. Every day the emperor fought side by side with them, and let them have honor, even if they died immediately, it was very honorable.

The wounded soldiers on the walls have been carried down, but there are still some soldiers who have been slightly injured and are still holding their posts.

Liang Jia also gave full play to the influence of his identity as the emperor, and arranged his clothes, put on his hat, wiped his face, and patted his shoulders to those soldiers, but these simple behaviors were exchanged for the excited and excited looks of these soldiers.

He knew that even if he asked these soldiers to die for him at that time, he probably wouldn't hesitate anything.

It is precisely because Liang Jia is still in Jishui County that the defenders of Jishui County have not collapsed and are still holding on.

"Report!" A shout came from under the city, and then a brocade guard walked quickly up the city wall, then ran to Liang Jia and Ying Yue, knelt on the ground, and handed over a letterhead.

Ying Yue took it, opened it, and her face changed.

"Your Majesty, King Qing personally came to the aid with an army of 30,000. I'm afraid Jishui can't keep it, so let's retreat to Hengshui. ”

"Nope! What if King Qing comes, we will consume him in Jishui. ”

"However, your safety, Your Majesty, is the most important thing." Invite Yue to persuade.

"Don't worry, the man who killed me hasn't been born yet. You immediately tell Zhao Ximei the news and let him make a contingency. Liang Jia commanded.

After Zhao Ximei got the letterhead sent by Invite Yue, she also ran to the city wall to persuade Liang Jia to leave as soon as possible. But Liang Jia still insisted.

Zhao Ximei had no choice but to order Hengshui to increase troops again.

More than 20,000 people were killed in this period of time, and many wounded soldiers were unable to fight, so Jishui County had to send reinforcements if it wanted to hold firmly.

In the few days after King Qing arrived in Jishui County, Cao Deguang rarely did not send troops to attack, and the two sides entered a brief period of peace. However, both sides knew that this time of peace would soon be interrupted with the arrival of King Gyeong.

When King Qing arrived in Jishui County, it was the autumn equinox. In the north, the weather is already cooler by this time. But in Jishui County, it is still very hot, so it is slightly cooler in the morning and evening.

King Qing took 30,000 troops to the camp of their army outside Jishui County. Standing on the dilapidated city wall of Jishui County, you can see the Qingguo flag played by King Qing, which is really much more majestic than Liang Jia, the emperor, who arrived in Hengshui County.

Early the next morning, a continuous sound of trumpets sounded outside the city.

Jishui County was immediately busy, Zhao Ximei quickly prepared for defense, and Liang Jia also went to the city wall with Invite Yue for the first time.

The sun had just shown its head a little, and King Qing's army had already arrived three miles outside the city. Everyone on the city wall was ready, and Liang Jia also took out the electric baton scraped out of the scratch card yesterday and was ready for battle.

But after waiting for a long time, King Qing's army did not attack. It wasn't until the sun had risen that a fast horse came running.

The soldiers on their horses ran to the city wall and shouted at it. "The emperor of the city, our emperor wants to talk to you."
