On the second day, the sky was overcast, Zhao Kuo got up early, he wanted to enter the palace to meet Emperor Zhao, and let him make a decree to marry, he wanted to marry Yan Ning.

On the way to the palace, Zhao Kuo sat in the carriage, opened the curtains and looked at the pedestrians on the street, his face was full of joy, he liked Yan Ning, Yan Ning also liked him, this is a joy between the two. Zhao Kuo rarely thinks about his previous life now, and he has figured it out, now that he is here, he can only live well in the present, no matter how good his previous life is, he can't go back, he can marry a stunning beauty like Yan Ning here, who combines thousands of advantages, Zhao Kuo is always very excited when he thinks of it, and he always feels like a toad eating swan meat.

All the way, his heart was beautiful, but when he arrived in the palace, he was told by Li Ying that Emperor Zhao was unwell, and the imperial doctor instructed him not to see anyone in the past few days, so he asked Zhao Kuo to go back, and he would come to tell him when Emperor Zhao was better.

There was no way, Zhao Kuo had no choice but to return to the palace, although there was a trace of unhappiness in his heart, but thinking that Yan Ning had already agreed to marry him as his wife anyway, it would be a few days later, and he was relieved.

The weather in Zhaodu was really as Qin Tian said to Qi Xuan before, it was raining.

The autumn rain continued, and it rained for nearly a week before the weather cleared, these days, Qin Tian was in a hurry, pointing at God and scolding, blaming God for not raining in the morning and not raining in the evening, but he wanted to go out of the city with Qi Xuan to hunt and start to rain non-stop.

During this period, the beautiful waiters in the restaurant also changed into the slim cheongsam outfits that Zhao Kuo asked Yan Ning to make samples first, and then produced them in batches, which caused a wave of perverts rushing to the restaurant to watch.

Now that it is autumn and the weather is gradually getting colder, Zhao Kuo has now begun to think about what clothes to let these beauties wear in winter.

Emperor Zhao's birthday is still half a month away, and now in the capital of Zhao, except for South Korea, people sent by several other countries have also arrived.

After the rain stopped, Qin Tian couldn't wait to send people to invite Qi Xuan to hunt outside the city. In the end, everyone agreed to leave in two days.

And in the Tianshan City of Yan State, the siege of the Xiongnu army is still continuing, whether it is the Zhao army brought by Lian Feng to support or the Yan army defending the city, the casualties are constantly increasing, many people think that Tianshan City must not be able to hold, it is only a matter of time before the Xiongnu capture it, and many people in the city have begun to flee to Yandu.

Now there are only more than 5,000 Zhao troops left from the 20,000 Zhao troops brought by Lian Feng, and less than 4,000 Yan troops sent by Le Yi before. This is already the last force that Emperor Yan can gather in the territory of Yan State, and now all the soldiers of Yan State are sent to Huguan and Tianshan City, if the army defending the city at this time is only so much, and the number of Xiongnu troops outside the city is still large, and the camps are all over the place, making people unable to see the edge at a glance.

Lian Feng thought about it for many days, but he couldn't figure it out, he had investigated the Huns before, and found that the Xiongnu would not have more than 150,000 troops at most? So when did the Xiongnu have such a huge army? There are so many soldiers? General Le Yi resisted their hundreds of thousands of soldiers at Huguan, and now the number of Hun soldiers attacking the city outside the city is so large.

In the past few days, although the Huns attacked the city fiercely, they also suffered heavy casualties, but despite this, they did not see any reduction in their number, as if a Hun soldier died, and two people would immediately make up for it.

The continuous siege of the city by the Xiongnu these days has made Lian Feng and the soldiers defending the city exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted. The Yan army is okay, after all, they are fighting with the Xiongnu here, for their own country, for their own emperor, for their relatives and people in their own country, so their original intention is still the same, they only want to hold Tianshan City and repel the Xiongnu.

But the Zhao army who came to support Yan Guo was different, the army had begun to lose heart, and the heart was retreating, seeing that most of the companions who came had died, and many of the Zhao Jun who were still alive now began to miss their hometown and wanted to return to Zhao State.

Upstairs in Tianshan City, Wu Heng was bandaging Lian Feng's wound with a cloth, the Huns had just attacked the city, and Lian Feng was slashed on the arm by a Hun man, and the wound was still bleeding at this time.

"General, you said that we sent so many people back, why haven't any of them come back so far? What the hell went wrong? Have we been abandoned by our own country? All of us dying here is our final destination? Wu Heng said with some sadness while bandaging Lian Feng's wounds.

After hearing this, Lian Feng glared at Wu Heng with fierce eyes and reprimanded: "You are the general of my Lian family's Black Flag Army, and the general of my Zhao State, how can you say such a big rebellious thing?" We are all Zhao Guoerlang, how could His Majesty the Emperor abandon us and leave us to fend for ourselves? There will be a next time, and the military law will deal with it"

Wu Heng retorted indignantly: "Since we have not been abandoned by our own country and our own emperor, then why are there any reinforcements to support us so far, we don't know?" Why have we sent so many scouts back, and none of them have come back? Could it be that someone intercepted and killed him on the road? Is it possible? ”

Speaking of this, Wu Heng pointed at the Hun soldiers outside the city with a sad and angry face, and continued: "Even if the Huns have great ability, it is impossible for them to go over and intercept the scouts we sent, right?" What's more, we sent so many, and let them go their separate ways. Even... Even the general has not replied to the letter so far, who else in the world can make the general ignore your life and death, and the life and death of our Black Flag Army officers and soldiers, except for our Emperor Majesty? You say this makes me wait, how can I not think that I have been abandoned by my own country? There are still so many Huns outside the city, and what about us? Now that these people are left, how many times can we stop their attacks? ”

"Do you know what you're talking about? Talking nonsense before the battle, disturbing the morale of the army, do you know that according to the law, the general can execute you on the spot right now? ”

"General, I said so much, it's not that I, Wu Heng, are greedy for life and afraid of death, I just want you to understand, we should withdraw, and if we continue to defend like this, it will only make all the soldiers suffer casualties, there are many Huns, we can't hold it for long, Tianshan City will be broken by them sooner or later, moreover, General Le Yi of Yan State has also written to you, so that you can lead the army to retreat when necessary, Tianshan City is lost, it doesn't mean that Yan Guo is dead, don't forget, there are nearly 70,000 Yan troops in Huguan, When the time comes, General Le Yi will give up Huguan and lead all the troops into Yandu to defend."

After Wu Heng finished speaking, Lian Feng was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Wu Heng, as a general of the Black Flag Army, do you know that my Lian Family's Black Flag Army has an iron order?" The soldiers of the Black Flag Army, fighting on the battlefield, without the orders of their superiors, even if they die in battle, they can't take half a step back, have you forgotten? ”

When he said the last few words, Lian Feng's voice suddenly increased, which was equivalent to yelling at Wu Heng, and at the same time, the sword in his hand was directly raised and placed on Wu Heng's neck, "As the eldest son of my General Zhao Guoda, the general of the Black Flag Army, I went into battle to kill the enemy, and I never knew what to retreat from. General Ben tells you that now I have the biggest official position here, I don't give orders, I dare to retreat, and there is no mercy for killing."

"General..."

"Don't force me to kill my own brother with my own hands"

"We will follow the general to the death, and we would rather die here than take half a step back"

More than a dozen other Black Flag Army soldiers on both sides knelt on the ground at this time, shouting loudly.

Then Wu Heng also knelt on one knee on the ground and said to Lian Feng: "General, what the last general said just now is definitely not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the sake of the general, since the general is determined, then the general will accompany the general here to guard Tianshan City together until the city is broken."

Lian Feng withdrew his sword and picked up Wu Heng with one hand, "What you just said also made me think of a question, why are there no traces of the people sent back to ask for help, what is the problem in the middle?" So I plan to order you to rush back to Zhaodu overnight, meet the emperor, and ask for reinforcements to support, can you obey your orders? ”

As soon as Lian Feng finished speaking, Wu Heng resolutely refused: "General, the last general will not obey his orders, and the last general will fight with you here and kill the Huns together, so the general should send someone else."

"I sent so many passers-by before, and none of them have returned so far, it must be that there is something blocking you in the middle, you are the commander of the Black Flag Army, and you hold the token of my Lian family's Black Flag Army, so I thought of sending you to Zhaodu to meet the emperor and ask for reinforcements. But you don't obey your orders, and you want to kill the Huns here? How many people can you kill? Do you know that if you can return to Zhaodu and invite reinforcements, it will be equivalent to saving all the people here, isn't this more important than killing a few Huns here? Can't you tell which is more important? ”

Wu Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then agreed: "The last general understands, the last general will leave for Zhao Capital, he will definitely meet the emperor, invite reinforcements, and ask the general to lead the people to insist, and wait for the last general to return." If the general dies in battle, the last general will never live in the world again."

Lian Feng patted Wu Heng's shoulder, and smiled rarely: "Soldiers, generals, should look down on life and death, your way back to Zhaodu may also be very dangerous, be careful on the road, I am here waiting for you to return", and then Lian Feng looked at the dozen or so Black Flag Army soldiers on the left and right who had been brought before and continued: "Take them all with you, so that there will be some care on the road"

Before Wu Heng could speak, the other Black Flag Army soldiers refused one after another, and they all wanted to stay here to protect Lian Feng and kill the Hun army, and finally Wu Heng set off with more than a dozen other soldiers, and rushed to Zhao Capital day and night.
