The Tang army camp, a silence, the master road leaned on the soft couch, the surrounding generals sat on the Maza, the Chinese army was waiting for the seed to carefully count the losses, the generals looked gloomy, this war can be said to be a very failure, their own army obviously occupied the advantage, and in the end they were destroyed by dozens of warships, although in the end the Song army's warships did not return to the water gate, but destroyed the Tang army's plan.

"Didn't General Wu Song show up?" Seed Master Dao frowned, lost three thousand troops, this is a boulder pressed on the shoulders of the Seed Master Dao, so that the Seed Master Dao is out of breath, but Wu Song's disappearance is even more worrying about the Seed Master Dao, Wu Song is not another general, not to mention, his wife is the queen herself as a matchmaker, his former sister-in-law is more favored in Li Jing's palace, for the chivalrous and righteous, jealous and hateful, in the army prestige is relatively high, such a person to act as the deputy general of the Seed Master Dao, the Seed Master Dao is very welcome, now it's okay, a big war, actually threw away his lieutenant, and this matter spread out, and the seed master didn't know where to put his face.

"Although General Wu Song fought bloodily and rushed to the front line, his martial arts are strong, although he is missing now, there is no big problem in the future, and the general does not have to worry." Chong Xun comforted.

"In the chaotic army, anything can happen, General Wu Song is strong in martial arts, but the enemy is obviously not a vegetarian." The seed master shook his head and said: "In the final analysis, the old man is too underestimated by the other party, Xiangyang Town, although he was pressed and beaten by us, but he was able to hide the water master until now, this Liu Qi is not a simple character, I underestimate the other party." ”

Seed Master Dao is extremely resentful, although he has suffered a lot of defeats, but like this time, it is obviously the upper hand, and in the end it is the first time that it has happened, in the final analysis, it is still caused by his own mistakes.

"The dark guard did not transmit information, which is also a problem, although there is a moat to block it, but it should still be easy for the dark guard to transmit information, but until now, the dark guard has not sent any information, all this is the responsibility of the dark guard." In the crowd, someone said dissatisfiedly.

"There has been no news from the war to the present, either the guards in the city have surrendered to the enemy, or the guards in Xiangyang have been eliminated." Seed Master Dao's eyes flickered, he had always thought that the Dark Guard should be able to play an important role in this war, but in fact, so far, the Dark Guard has not played any role.

"I'm afraid something has happened to the Dark Guard." The seed master Dao turned into a long sigh in his heart, what happened to the secret guard, not only the seed master Dao, but also Li Jing knew in his heart, the civil official's suppression of the secret guard has reached a certain point, and even Li Jing himself actually doesn't trust the dark guard very much, at least he acquiesced in the suppression of the dark guard.

Xiangyang City was originally Zhao Huan's foundation, the main forces of the six doors were concentrated in Xiangyang City, and the dark guards were suppressed in Xiangyang City.

"Your Majesty, you guessed wrong this time. It's just that the old man, as a general, didn't even take into account the enemy's naval division warships, which was the biggest failure. The planter looked at the sky in the distance and let out a slight sigh. In Li Jing's eyes, Xiangyang is no longer important, as long as the secret guard maintains its basic existence, everything is based on Lin'an, so it will cause the strength of the Xiangyang secret guard to be weak. But today's defeat is undoubtedly inappropriate to be completely counted on the dark guard.

"For the generals to worry more, this is the simplest truth, this time the old man got carried away, forgot the Xiangyang sailor, this battle was defeated, the sin is in me. The matter of the secret guard, naturally, has His Majesty's decision, and the old man will write to the Son of Heaven and strictly explain the old man's crimes, but as long as His Majesty's holy decree has not arrived, the old man is still in charge here. The planter's eyes lit up and he glanced at everyone.

"On the orders of the General." The generals' hearts sank, and they hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Order Nanyang to send gunpowder to the army as soon as possible, order the craftsmen in the army to cast iron bullets, order the soldiers to carry stones, and as soon as the gunpowder arrives, immediately launch an attack on Xiangyang City. This time, General Ben will personally charge into battle, not to take Xiangyang City, and vow not to withdraw his troops. The Seed Master Dao stood up, his face gloomy, and his tiger eyes swept over everyone, flashing with a hint of majesty.

The generals were uneasy in their hearts, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they retreated one after another. Only the Seed Master Dao stood quietly in the big tent, a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows, he was worried about Wu Song's safety.

In the city, Wu Song and the others had already taken off their armor and stuffed the armor into a dung truck, a middle-aged man pushed the dung cart and walked on the street, while Wu Song and the others had already changed into ordinary people's clothes, and with the three secret guards submerged into the ruins, they walked around the city, and finally entered a medicinal herb shop.

"General, this is one of our main strongholds, Sanhuatang, has been stationed in the city for decades, the big shopkeeper of Sanhuatang also entered Zhao Huan's palace some time ago to see a doctor for Zhao Huan, and his prestige in the city is very high, Liu Qi does not dare to come here." The man at the head is elegant, and he is the young master of Sanhuatang, Huangfu Liang, who is good at acupuncture, and he doesn't know how many lives he has saved in the city, and he has a good reputation.

"Why didn't the Song Army sailor detect it in advance when the Song Army sailors were dispatched today?" Wu Song entered the secret room, and looked at Huang Fuliang coldly, today's defeat is the defeat of the water master, if there is preparation in advance, I am afraid that it will not be so miserable.

"The general knows that since a year ago, no one in the city is allowed to raise pigeons or other birds, and whoever dares to raise them is guilty of collaborating with the enemy. Anyone who wants to enter and exit the Water Gate must have a token from the General's Mansion, and when he comes back, he must also hand over the token, and those who violate the order will be killed. Huangfu Liang smiled bitterly: "In the past, we thought about buying the soldiers of Xiangyang Shuimen, but we had no money in our hands, and it was good to inquire about the news on weekdays, and the consumption was not much, but if we bought the guards, how difficult would it be?" The general said that in order to pass on the information of the sailor division this time, ten brothers have died on our side, but none of them have passed on the information. The enemy was well defended. That Shi Lei would send a team of five hundred people every day to patrol the Water Gate, preventing us from swimming across the moat and passing on information. ”

"I see." Wu Song nodded, and the little doubt in his heart disappeared without a trace. It's not that their own people don't work hard, but the enemy is too well guarded, so powerful that the secret guards can't do anything.
