At this time, there was a big chaos in Xiuwuzhi City, but fortunately, Zhang Shumo made people prepare in advance, so they would not be so panicked.

Zhang Shumo and his party ran to the east gate of the city with the remaining soldiers, preparing to break through from the east. At this time, a man and a horse rushed over from the direction of Taicang, and Zhang Shumo looked at it fixedly, and it was actually the injured Pang Yuan.

"Why did General Pang come from the direction of Taicang?" Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked.

"I heard that the Jingguo army was going to break the city, so I wanted to go to the city wall to help. Later, he met Niu Ci and was pulled by him to help load grain and grass. Now most of the grain and grass in Taicang have been shipped, and the rest has been set on fire by Niu Ci, so I rushed to the city wall. Pang Yuan said.

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Jing Guo is powerful, I am ready to break through to the east gate, General Pang's injuries have not healed, come with us." ”

Pang Yuan's eyebrows were sharpened: "Please rest assured, Pang still has the strength to fight, you go first, Pang will break later!" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "Now is not the time to be rash!" Pan Feng, last time General Pang broke off for you, this time I ordered you to break General Pang, are you willing? ”

Pan Feng clenched the big axe in his hand: "Please rest assured, I will never let an enemy soldier go, unless they step on my corpse!" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded heavily, and then said to Liu Nature: "Liu Nature, you go to meet Jiang Bin's troops, they just attacked the Jingguo camp and don't know the situation on our side." When he met Jiang Bin, he asked him to take people to the southeast and drag them at the back of our team. We escaped this time with the people in the city, and the speed can't be fast, so someone must cover us. You told Jiang Bin that this time I begged him, as long as he is willing to cover our retreat, I will thank him in the future! ”

After arranging, Zhang Shumo said to the rest of the people: "The rest of the people followed me to the east gate to break through, remember!" You must make it to the Great Tea Castle alive! ”

On the other side, Yang Xue made up her mind to help Zhang Shumo, so she quickly ran her brain to think of a way to break the game. But the current situation Zhang Shumo is doomed to failure, and his first task is to gain Ji Wen's full trust, so that Ji Wen will obey his words.

Thinking of this, Yang Xue immediately said to the coachman: "Quick, take me to see the prince, I have something important to report!" ”

At this time, Zhang Shumo and his party had already broken through to the east gate, and the Jingguo army had also defeated most of the Xiuwuzhi, only Pan Feng dragged 2,000 men and horses in the city to fight and retreat with the Jingguo army.

Yang Xue finally met Ji Wen at the gate of the city, and Ji Wen was surprised when she saw Yang Xue coming here: "Why did Concubine Ai come over?" It's not safe here, there are still remnants of the martial arts army in the city! ”

"The king ignores his own safety to avenge his concubines, how can the concubines be left alone? Therefore, the concubine decided to follow the king, and the concubine believed in the king's ability to protect the concubine from peace! ”

Yang Xue's words made Ji Wen very useful, and Ji Wen said proudly: "This is not bad, this king will definitely be able to protect his concubine!" ”

At this time, Geng Li hurriedly came with someone to report: "Report to the prince, Xiu Wuzhi has been taken, and the remnants of the Wu Xiu army have fled from the east of the city!" ”

Ji Wen sneered: "Want to run? It's not that easy! Geng Li, I order you to take 10,000 horses out of the city to chase after you, and there will be no remnants of the Wu Xiu Army! ”

Without waiting for Geng Li to receive the order, Yang Xue hurriedly said: "Wait! King, you can't pursue it now, or you'll be ambushed! ”

Ji Wen smiled and took Yang Xue's hand: "Concubine Ai doesn't understand military affairs, so you don't have to worry about this kind of thing!" Geng Li, you don't want to go quickly! ”

"The last general commands!" After speaking, Geng Li chased out of the city with more than 10,000 people.

Because Zhang Shumo fled with the people, the speed was very slow, and within half an hour, Geng Li led people to chase after him. Seeing this, Pan Feng had to lead people to put up a posture to block Geng Li.

But how could 2,000 people resist the attack of 10,000 people, Rao is Jingguo soldiers were timid about Pan Feng, but they still relied on the strength of the crowd to defeat Pan Feng's side and retreat. Pan Feng saw that he couldn't resist it, so he had to order someone to lead the Jingguo army to other places, so as to buy time for Zhang Shumo and his party to escape.

In Xiuwuzhi City, Jingguo soldiers have already cleaned out a mansion for Ji Wen to settle down temporarily. Yang Xue was worried about Zhang Shumo's safety, and sat in the courtyard and looked out from time to time, wanting to know Zhang Shumo's news as soon as possible.

Ji Wen came to him with a smile when he saw Yang Xue's performance: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to worry, Zhang Shumo can't escape." ”

Yang Xue shook her head: "I'll make a bet with the prince, if Zhang Shumo escapes, the prince will promise to meet my request, okay?" ”

Ji Wen showed a trace of doubt on his face after hearing this, when he asked Geng Li to pursue Zhang Shumo just now, Yang Xue said that the pursuit would be ambushed. Now she is betting with herself that Geng Li can't catch Zhang Shumo, what does she mean?

Thinking of this, Ji Wen asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Concubine Ai thinks that this king's subordinates are not as good as Zhang Shumo?" ”

Yang Xue nodded: "Geng Li is more than loyal, but his ability is insufficient, and he is not useful!" ”

Ji Wen didn't expect Yang Xue to say these words to himself at a young age, and said with interest: "Okay, then the king will make this bet with you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the guards came to say: "Report to the prince, General Geng is back!" ”

"Hurry up, please!"

Geng Li came to the courtyard, and when he saw Ji Wen, he quickly knelt down on one knee: "Lord Qiqi, my subordinates have been tricked!" After saying that, he lowered his head.

When Ji Wen heard this, he asked in disbelief, "Huh? What can you do with 10,000 people chasing a group of remnants of the defeated army? ”

Geng Li hesitated for a moment before he was ashamed to tell what had happened.

It turned out that not long after Geng Li ran after Pan Feng with people, a team of people was killed in the rear of the team, and Geng Li was caught off guard. Geng Li looked at it, and it turned out that the Northern Route Army led by Jiang Bin had killed him.

At this time, Pan Feng also noticed this situation and immediately organized men and horses to start a counterattack. Geng Li fled in a hurry under the attack of Pan Feng and Jiang Bin, and in the end, less than 4,000 people fled back to Xiuwuzhi.

After hearing this, the corners of Yang Xue's mouth rose slightly, and she couldn't help but think in her heart: How can you two fools be Zhang Shumo's opponents.

Ji Wen looked at Yang Xue incredulously: "Concubine Ai, how did you know that they would have an ambush?" ”

Yang Xue got up and said proudly: "Zhang Shumo is scheming, he will definitely not be fast when he escapes with the people, so he will try his best to stop our army from pursuing." And General Geng is not familiar with Xiu Wuzhi's life, and it is inevitable that he will fall into the trap of Zhang Shumo! ”

Ji Wen nodded thoughtfully after listening: "I didn't expect Concubine Ai to be so smart, this king regrets not listening to Concubine Ai's advice." In this case, the king agreed to a request from the concubine, and the concubine wanted to say it directly. ”

Yang Xue tilted her head: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later!" ”

Not long after Geng Li retreated, Hao Yang also returned and told Ji Wen: "Lord Qiqi, the sneak attack army fled after igniting our army's grain and grass. The subordinates have put out the fire, but unfortunately there is not much food and grass left. Moreover, the national teacher has not yet been found, and we suspect that the national teacher has been taken away by the sneak attack army! ”
