Wu Wei arranged the scout, and Sun Xu immediately said to him: "General, nominally we are still friendly with Sima Xiao, and the general can send someone to question Sima Xiao, why did he let his son bring 50,000 soldiers and horses to the north!" ”

Wu Wei nodded immediately when he heard this: "Since this is the case, let's bother Lord Sun to run!" ”

Sun Xu couldn't help but scratch his head, if Sima Xiao really took refuge in Zheng Guo, wouldn't he run over at this time and throw himself into the net? But because of Wu Wei's face, Sun Xu didn't dare to refute, so he had to go to the inner capital.

Sima Xiao learned that Sun Xu was coming, so he personally went out of the city to greet him, Sun Xu couldn't help but be frightened when he saw it, he was just a little courtier, Sima Xiao greeted him like this, he must not have a good heart!

Who knew that when Sima Xiao saw Sun Xu, he took the lead in asking: "Lord Sun came suddenly, but Master Zhang has a reply?" How? Does Lord Zhang agree to let Zai Xia choose his own city? ”

Sun Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, feeling that he was still thinking about the negotiation, but since he was worried about the negotiation, why did he send troops north?

Thinking of this, Sun Xu plucked up his courage and asked, "I heard that Lord Sima sent troops north, I don't know what the intention is?" ”

When Sima Xiao heard this, he laughed: "Master Sun, I was just about to tell you about this!" Although Zheng Guo promised to negotiate peace with us this time, they may not be sincere. That's why I deliberately sent someone to pretend to leave the inner capital, just to see if Zheng Guo would send troops to attack! If they send troops to attack, it means that they are not sincere in negotiating peace, so we don't need to be polite to them! It's just that when the time comes, we have to ask General Wu to send troops to help us break the siege! ”

When Sun Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, what kind of ghost is this Sima Xiao doing? Could it be that the dispatch of 50,000 troops was just to test Zheng Guo's sincerity?

Seeing that Sun Xu was silent, Sima Xiao immediately said, "Could it be that Lord Sun can't find this king?" If this is the case, Master Sun can ask General Wu to send a detachment of men and horses to watch my 50,000 soldiers. ”

Sun Xu hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Where is it, how can I suspect Lord Sima, I will go back and report this matter to General Wu!" ”

Before Sun Xu could return to the barracks, the scouts had already come to report to Wu Wei and Wu Wang, saying that Zheng Guo was ordering troops, as if he was preparing to send troops.

At this time, Wu Wang strengthened his guess, and felt that Sima Xiao must have taken refuge in Zheng Guo, and was ready to attack him back and forth.

Not long after, Sun Xu returned to the barracks and relayed Sima Xiao's words to Wu Wei and Wu Wang. But the two had already decided that Sima Xiao had taken refuge in Zheng Guo, so how could they believe Sima Xiao's words.

So Wu Wei immediately ordered the army to retreat fifty miles, approaching the Qin River, and if there was a disturbance, they would eat Sima Xue's 50,000 soldiers as soon as possible.

And Zheng Gu had just ordered the soldiers and horses, and was about to send troops to make a show, when he suddenly heard a report from the spies, saying that Wuwei had raised troops and retreated, and he didn't know what to do.

Zheng Gu couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: Could it be that Wu Wei saw Sima Xiao taking the opportunity to attack Qinyang, and then he was furious in his heart, so he gave up Neidu County, and simply didn't dare Sima Xiao?

Thinking of this, Zheng Gu immediately gathered his subordinates and began to discuss the next move.

When the generals of Zheng Guozhong heard that Sima Xiao sent 50,000 troops to the north, and Wu Wei led the army to retreat, they immediately rejoiced in their hearts, and first said to Zheng Gu: "General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Taking advantage of the enemy's civil war, let's take the inner capital city in one fell swoop, and then won't the cities around the inner capital become our pockets? ”

Yao Quan thought in his heart that there must be something wrong between Sima Xiao and Wu Wei, so he hurriedly said: "Generals, the enemy army is cunning, maybe Wu Wei's withdrawal is to lure our army to attack the inner capital, you must be cautious." ”

But Zheng Guo's generals disagreed: "There are many of us, what are you afraid of them doing?" If Mr. Yao is worried, he can send someone with an army of 100,000 to block the route of enemy support, and then General Zheng will lead his troops to attack the inner capital! ”

When Zheng Gu heard this, he was overjoyed. Yes, why are you afraid of them when you have a lot of people? Just send troops to block their support route, and then attack the city in a big way. Now that the inner capital is under-garrisoned, it shouldn't take a few days to capture the inner capital!

Thinking of this, Zheng Gu no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered troops to attack the inner capital.

In the past few days, fortifications have been dug outside the inner capital, and the people of the inner capital feel that the inventory of entering and leaving the city gate is much stricter, and there are many more soldiers in front of the city gate, which is similar to the situation when the battle is about to be fought. The people of the inner capital couldn't help but wonder a little, they had heard that they were going to negotiate peace with Zheng Guo before, why did the situation suddenly become tense again?

Naturally, the people will not understand, and they have to live their lives carefully, but when they are calm, their lives are still broken by the war.

A fast horse rushed towards the inner capital, and the soldiers on the horse were still shouting: "Zheng Guo has sent troops, Zheng Guo has sent troops!" ”

Sima Xiao has been sending people to keep an eye on the situation in Liucheng for the past few days, so someone will report Zheng Jun's actions to him as soon as possible. Upon learning that Zheng Guo had sent troops, Sima Xiao immediately sent people to ask Wu Wei for help, and then ordered the city gate to be blocked, and the army was ready to resist the attack of Zheng's army.

In the afternoon, the soldiers on the city wall saw that the enemy army had come to the inner capital, Sima Xiao stood on the city gate tower and shouted to Zheng Gu under the city: "General Zheng is a little unkind, right?" Since we have already begun to negotiate peace, why did we suddenly send troops to attack our inner capital? ”

"Peace? That's what the literati do, I, Zheng Gu, am a dignified general of the Northern Expedition, how can I easily negotiate peace with you? If you are afraid, open the door and surrender obediently, I can spare you from death, otherwise don't blame me for bloodbathing the inner capital! ”

"What a big breath! Although I am not a master, but I will never be a bad seed, even if I have the ability to attack, the army and the people in my capital will never surrender! After Sima Xiao finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves.

Zheng Gu laughed: "Just with the tens of thousands of horses in your city, you still want to stop my 100,000 army? You don't want to wait for Wu Wei and the 50,000 horses you sent out to come back to the rescue, do you? Tell you, I've sent 200,000 troops to block their way to rescue, which means that no one will come to your rescue! ”。

Sima Xiao's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he immediately looked at Wen Yan on the side. Wen Yan nodded calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, if Zheng Guo really comes out of the nest this time, then their rear will definitely suffer." ”

Wen Yan deliberately raised his voice so that Zheng Gu under the city could also hear it. Sure enough, when Zheng Gu heard this, the laughter stopped abruptly. Wen Yan continued: "Wu Wei is not a fool, Zheng Gu has poured out, they will definitely send someone to burn Zheng Jun's grain and grass. Without food and grass, Zheng Gu can only withdraw his army! ”
