Hearing what Li Xinchen said, Xiao Xiang suddenly showed a panicked look, and he didn't care about the many people around, and grabbed Li Xinchen's sleeve: "General, please don't leave the slave!" ”

As soon as Li Xinchen turned around, he suddenly met the pair of eyes that captured his mind when he saw it for the first time, and a thin layer of mist shrouded the autumn water and stars in the past, which was pitiful. Li Xinchen immediately said with a smile:

"It's not to leave you, but to let you follow Pei Dashi south back to Jiangling, and a certain will take the rest of the people to the north, this is dangerous, it is very likely that there will be continuous vicious battles and bloody battles, and it is impossible for a certain person to take you."

Xiao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously leaned in the direction of Li Xinchen. And Li Xinchen glanced at Li Ping, Li Ping hurriedly waved his hand to let two burly soldiers come over: "Boss, these two are selected by Brother Chen, both are stable and strong people, honest people, there will definitely be no problem with them escorting my sister-in-law." ”

And the two of them didn't wait for Li Ping to finish speaking, and at the same time arched their hands: "The two of us will swear to protect Mrs. Safety!" ”

When the words "sister-in-law" and "madam" were spoken, Xiao Xiang's face suddenly turned red, and he shrank straight behind Li Xinchen, but he did not object. And Li Ping then said: "When those relatives of the Xiliang Emperor came before, they all came in carriages, which were very luxurious and comfortable, but now of course they can't give them such good treatment, and the carriages are all vacated for our injured brothers, but there is still one left, which can be vacated for my sister-in-law." ”

Li Xinchen nodded and glanced at Li Ping approvingly, he did a good job this time. This time, there was no need to hide from anything, Li Xinchen reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiang, and said in a deep voice: "The two of them will protect your safety, and you are someone, Master Pei will also take care of you, don't worry." ”

Xiao Shilian waved his hand neatly: "Okay, okay, all your things are packed?" The blades are sharpened? It's all scattered for Lao Tzu, what should I do! ”

Seeing the people around him scatter, Xiao Xiang raised his head, the girl's pretty face was already flushed with shame, but he still carefully found that the button of Li Xinchen's coat was opened, and hurriedly reached out to help him tie it: "The general must be triumphant, the slave concubine is waiting in Jiangling, and the Hou Jun returns." ”

Li Xinchen nodded solemnly, and stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Xiang.

This time, the girl did not resist, and also wrapped her arms around Li Xinchen's waist, feeling the temperature and heartbeat that she was still unfamiliar with.

Arrows were like locusts, rocks were like rain, and the entire Gangneung City was enveloped in the sound of earth-shaking killing. Red flags swayed in the wind, and the Chen army of the brigade roared angrily towards the city wall, like the rolling and roaring waves of the sea, about to completely smash the reef into pieces.

Xiao Maha stood quietly on the stage, the sound of the drums came out not far from him, and then echoed throughout the battlefield, but Xiao Maha turned a deaf ear to this near, thunderous sound, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the head of Jiangling City from beginning to end.

"General, you go and rest for a while, there is something to watch here, attack step by step, there will be no accidents." A general finally couldn't help but stand up and say, since yesterday's second attack, Xiao Maha has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and the banner of Xiao Zi has been flying above his head.

It was as if the banner was the same as Xiao Maha, and it would have to wait until the moment when Gangneung City was breached.

Correspondingly, on the opposite side of Gangneung City, the banner representing Lu Teng, the governor of Gangneung, is also flying, although it has been pierced by arrows through a lot of holes, but it is still dancing proudly in front of everyone, representing that the owner of Gangneung is still Lu Teng, still a defender.

In the past two days, the Nanchen army has twice rushed to the top of the city, trying to kill the general and capture the flag, but they were all forced back by the defenders, and instead of taking the banner, they lost a lot of people.

It seems to know that Xiao Maha is the real commander and core of the entire Nanchen army, no matter how fierce Lu Guangda and Fan Yi in the south and west of the city attack, Lu Teng's general flag has been flying over this east gate and has never shifted.

"Where did Pei Zilie take the people?" Xiao Maha asked in a deep voice.

One of the generals hurriedly replied: "There are still two or three miles from the big camp, and we will arrive soon." We have sent scouts to escort several captured Western Liang generals to identify the captives, as long as we can be sure"

"There is no doubt that it was Xiao Yue who was caught," Xiao Maha said lightly, "If it is just a stand-in, there is no need to make such a big move, not to mention that there are not many imperial relatives of Xiliang who are following Xiao Yue, they are enough to prove it." ”

Several generals nodded again and again, while Xiao Maha continued to look at the city: "In other words, there is actually only Xiao Yue's pseudo-queen Zhang in the palace in the city?" ”

"According to the informant, Xiao Yue has been saying that he has never shown up in the palace because he is sick these days, but this Zhang family has repeatedly led the eunuchs and maids in the palace to the front line to take care of the soldiers and comfort the generals, and it is precisely because of this that the Xiliang soldiers have been high-spirited, and those generals are not surprised by Xiao Yue's non-appearance." A general in charge of the sentry hurriedly replied, "There have been a few times when Xiao Yue summoned civil and military forces in the palace, but they were all very few generals who defended the city. ”

"So that ten ** in the city is a puppet?" A soldier said with a smile, "This Xiliang and Lu Teng are really calculating, but it's a pity that those soldiers who fought with us in the city and under the city didn't expect that the people they worked so hard for had already abandoned them and ran away, which is really ridiculous." ”

The generals looked at each other, and such a cowardly guy didn't know how he sat on the throne.

"If even so, we still can't take Gangneung City, then it's even more ridiculous for us." Xiao Maha didn't show a smile, and interrupted them in a cold voice, "In this way, it will be even more certain that we have caught Xiao Yue, and now send someone to tell Pei Zilie that the people will be pulled directly to the city, so that everyone in the city can see clearly what their emperor is like." ”

The generals looked awe-inspiring and agreed one after another, and Xiao Maha immediately said: "In addition, Lu Guangda and Fan Yi were ordered to inform them of the situation and urge them to step up their attacks. ”

"This" a general looked at in surprise. You must know that everyone is now aiming at the fat of Jiangling City, and the generals who followed Xiao Maha naturally wished that Fan Yi and Lu Guangda would suspend the attack, so that they could be the first to enter the city.

"We don't have much time left." Xiao Maha said lightly, his gaze slowly shifted to the north, the one in Xiangyang probably couldn't sit still. If the Northern Zhou army kills it before they take Jiangling City, this battle situation will be a bit tricky.
