"You're bold enough." Tang Yuan had a somewhat complaining tone.

Tang Qi smiled and didn't say anything.

The battle could not be fought, and later, the hail was the size of an egg, and there was no need for the enemy to kill it, and these hailstones alone separated the two warring parties.

Ximen Zhensen withdrew his troops for ten miles and hid in the dense mountains and forests, Tang Qi wanted to return to the city, but Changxiamen was sealed by the great Sima Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen shouted: "Don't come back! The outside is safer than the inside! I calculate that Tang Shuo is almost here, you join forces together, and then fight the old thief of Ximen! ”

Such a heavy rainfall is really a hundred years old, and the water of the Luo River has skyrocketed, and there are almost floods.

At the same time that Da Sima sealed the gate of the city, he also sealed the gate of the Northwest Imperial City, and he had long expected that the Empress Dowager Cao would flee at a critical moment.

Do you want to run?

No way.

You ran away, let my Tang family and Luoyang City be destroyed together, and you will be full of loyalty, you want to be beautiful.

If everyone dies together, no one will want to leave.

Jiang is still old and spicy, and when Empress Dowager Cao saw that the road was blocked, she was very angry at first, but then she smiled bitterly and turned her head back. A large group of people followed behind the Queen Mother, and they all returned to the palace with gloomy expressions.

At this time, when he heard that the fight outside the city was no longer fighting, Emperor Zhao Ce was not as excited as before, but he was concerned about the safety of the queen, and he seemed a little uneasy.

At this time, Empress Tang was accompanied by a group of eunuch soldiers, hiding in the mountain temple to avoid the rain.

Pity the soldiers outside, some of them were injured and could only hide under the trees, in fact, when the rain was pouring down, it didn't matter whether they could hide or not, they were soaked and uncomfortable.

The baggage tents and other things were all thrown on the road, and the rain was pouring down, and the rapid march really couldn't take away those baggage.

Just now, Tang Yuan angrily complained about Tang Qi, but as a result, he angered the queen's eunuch and scolded loudly: "Rude! It should be a palm! ”

"Presumptuous, step aside." Tang Qi said: "General Tang and I have a sister-brother relationship, so you should be rude." ”

"Yes." The eunuch retreated.

Hu Lanhua was also standing beside Tang Qi, she hadn't seen Tang Yuan for a long time, and the eldest girl missed it very much, but when she heard that Tang Yuan had married two daughters-in-law in a row, she was indignant in her heart, and she was so sour.

She looked at Tang Yuan coldly.

Tang Yuan felt that threatening gaze, and he didn't look at the orchid.

But I didn't control it, I still raised my eyes and looked at it, and I regretted it a little after reading it.

In fact, he has always felt a little sorry for Hu Orchid in his heart, and he knows that the girl of the Hu family has affection and righteousness for him. But now that I have married two wives, I can no longer marry a wife, is it possible to let someone be a concubine for me?

Not quite suitable.

Too wronged people.

——

The rain in Jingzhou stopped.

The four white-haired old men stood on a high place, and the old handsome Min Yue pointed out the appearance of the country and said: "Xiao Han is really a good general, and 50,000 people have dragged Zhang Zhikui's 100,000 yuan, which has bought us precious time." I have already told Xiao Han the news of cutting off the grain route, you see, as soon as he got the news, he began to shrink his defense, ready to spend it with Zhang Zhikui. I'm now wondering if I should send someone to meet Zhang Zhikui and talk to him about surrendering. If he can put down the butcher's knife at this time, I can make him a Buddha on the spot! ”

"I'm afraid that the families of the generals of the Flying Tiger Army have stayed by Meng Zong's side." Zhen is domineering.

Min Yue waved his hand and said, "Although this is true, it is useless at this time. You must know that as soon as the news of the food shortage reaches the army, they immediately become unstable. Whether to surrender at that time is not up to him, Zhang Zhikui, is not up to him. I think he's going to make the right choice. He is still young, and he can have more wives and children, but if he does not agree to surrender, if his subordinates surrender first, he will be too passive, not only will his family die, but he will also die. The lesser of two evils. ”

Wang Cao said: "Otherwise, I'll go and talk to him about Niu on the battlefield in Hebei, and I've met a few times." ”

"If General Wang is willing to go, it will be the best." Min Yue smiled.

Hearing that Wang Cao was going to see Zhang Zhikui, Shi Jinchong immediately stopped him and said: "Hey, old Wangtou, that Zhang Zhikui is like a mad dog, you go to touch him now, don't be afraid that he will cut you directly!" ”

Wang Cao said: "Now that the situation is critical, you and my family are still in Luoyang City, if I can exchange the lives of the whole family with my death, I think it will be worth it." ”

"I'm afraid that if you die, you may not be able to exchange for the lives of the children, and you will be left in Qingshan, if Luoyang is lost, we will have a chance to take revenge in the future." Shi Jin Chongdao.

Wang Cao smiled bitterly and patted the old man's shoulder and said, "You and my brother joined the army at the same time and became the Tang family general at the same time, it has been more than forty years, don't you know my temperament?" Don't do it again, just let me touch Zhang Zhikui, I don't think he's confused yet. ”

Min Yue personally wrote a letter and handed it to Wang Cao, asking him to show it to Zhang Zhikui.

The old handsome letter Xiaozhi moved with emotion and reason, persuaded Zhang Zhikui, after surrendering, jointly eliminate the traitors, and at that time the national gate valve will go to the second, the royal family can guarantee your status, so that you can enjoy the glory and wealth inexhaustibly, and the prince and the marquis can be expected. But if you are obsessed and insist on resisting, you have to think about whether your army is full of iron men, even if you gnaw the bark, how long can you hold out?

Meng Zong's personality is paranoid and arrogant, this person can't be a weapon at all, what's the point of being loyal to him?

Your whole family will be killed, and your ancestors will be disgraced.

I Min Yue, I have always been generous to others, I think Zhang Shuai has also heard of my Min Yue's person, more than 40 years in the military, never killed, and I also have many generals around me, for Zhang Shuai's reference.

Wang Cao came to see Zhang Zhikui with a letter.

If the two sides are resolute in their fighting intentions, they often kill the envoys to vote and boost the morale of the army.

At first, Zhang Zhikui felt that Wang Cao was looking for death, but when he heard that your food could not be delivered at all, he was a little weak-hearted.

To know the importance of food for the army.

In a sense, war is about logistics, and the most important thing is food.

How many wars, battles, battles, and in the end it is food that determines the outcome of the battle.

Even if you want to fight, when the time comes, the soldier will have no food in his stomach, how can he fight?

Even if he doesn't surrender, the hungry soldiers are likely to mutiny, and then they won't be able to control themselves.

"Are you and we're out of food?" Zhang Zhikui dropped the letter: "You don't care about this matter, I want to investigate it myself." Governor Liang, where is Inspector Liangguan! ”

"Report, the Governor Liang ran away."

"What?! When did he run?! ”

"Just now, as soon as General Wang was escorted in, he ran away!"
