Pei Qing did not rest that night, but walked to the house where Xun You was.

Due to the continuous fighting, many houses close to the city wall have been requisitioned, which is also for the convenience of preparing for the battle, of course, the common people are now very supportive of Pei Qing, because they have also received the news that as long as Xinfeng City is captured, the Xiliang army will slaughter the city for three days, which is definitely a catastrophe for them.

Therefore, no matter what, we must keep Xinfeng, which is also the belief in the hearts of the people.

"The Metropolitan Governor came to visit at night, I don't know what to order?" Xun You didn't fall asleep at that time, he was very surprised when he saw Pei Qing coming, but he had doubts in his heart, now that Pei Qing is here, it is just right to discuss it together.

Pei Qing didn't go around in circles, but said straight to the point: "Gongda, the reason why I came to bother you in the middle of the night is that there is one thing I always don't understand, since the Xiliang army obviously knows that this kind of clumsy siege method is difficult to break through Xinfeng City, and even if it can be breached, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so why are they like crazy in the past two days, and they have been attacking the city in turn day and night?" ”

Xun You was slightly shocked when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you also feel it, don't hide it from the Metropolitan Governor, you also feel that it is abnormal, but after thinking about it carefully, you still can't grasp the clue, I originally thought it was an illusion, but now that the Metropolitan Governor said this, this feeling is even stronger, in fact, it is precisely because you are worried about this matter, so you have not fallen asleep until now." ”

"That's it." Pei Qing nodded and said in a deep voice: "If one person has this feeling, maybe it may be an illusion, but both people have this feeling, which proves that there must be a problem, but where is the problem?" I don't have any ideas. ”

Xun You also shook his head, I don't know that he has been thinking hard, but he has no clue, just in case, the two of them went to the city overnight, they held torches, walked around the city wall for a week, carefully inspected everything, but never found any problems.

"Isn't the problem with the siege?" Xun You racked his brains, but he couldn't figure out what Jia Xu's intentions were, so he had to say it casually.

However, Pei Qing had a flash of inspiration, and he seemed to have captured something in his mind, but he never thought it clearly, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

At this time, the sky has already brightened, and a round of red sun is about to erupt, and it looks like the weather is good today, of course, provided that no one attacks the land under their feet.

However, this is impossible, at this moment, only to hear a sudden tremor sound under his feet, Pei Qing looked into the distance, only to see smoke and dust rolling up in the distance, and a large army was rapidly approaching.

Pei Qing and Xun You smiled bitterly at each other, it seemed that even if they wanted to detect the other party's conspiracy, they needed to finish this battle first.

Then the alarm bell sounded, and the soldiers were now accustomed to being startled in their sleep, and then quickly entered the battle.

So another siege battle was staged on both sides.

At this time, Pei Qing couldn't care about anything else, he could only find a way to repel the enemy's attack first, he commanded calmly, and at the same time played the role of the firefighting team, where there was danger, and sometimes he personally participated in the fight, such as this morning's battle, Pei Qing killed dozens of enemy soldiers who attacked the city, including nearly ten hundred generals and two captains, and a captain.

Under the vigorous counterattack of the whole army, two hours later, the siege battle was over, and the Xiliang army retreated like a tide, if it weren't for the two or three thousand corpses at the head of the city and under the city, no one would believe that just a moment ago, there was still a fierce offensive and defensive battle going on here.

"I really didn't expect that giving away people's heads would become the regular way of playing in the Xiliang Army, if it keeps going like this, the ratio of the number of people on both sides will one day be reversed, but will the other party keep doing this? Unless they're stupid and crazy, they won't. ”

Pei Qing rubbed his temples, then suddenly thought of a question and asked Xun You: "Gongda, have you noticed that our defense of the city during the day today is much easier than yesterday?" ”

Xun You was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "It's true, if you don't say it, I really can't imagine that today we are indeed easier to win than yesterday, according to statistics, today we only suffered three hundred casualties, if the enemy army is tired because of yesterday's overnight siege, we are not light to defend the city overnight, and the number of enemy troops is so large, it can be rotated......"

"In rotation? By the way, Gongda, you reminded me of this. Pei Qing's mind was like a bolt of lightning, and he suddenly understood everything, and said to Xun You: "I know, the reason why the enemy's combat strength is so weak today is simply Jia Xu's intention, if I guessed correctly, they deliberately left a relatively weak army behind to attack instead of defend and confuse us, while the main army bypassed Xinfeng City in advance and went to Chang'an, at least last night, or even earlier, maybe they set off immediately after attacking the city during the day yesterday." ”

"What? Wouldn't Chang'an be dangerous in this way? Xun You also instantly understood when he heard this, and his face changed instantly, because once Chang'an was in danger, he realized that they were gone, and as long as it dragged on for a certain period of time, the Xiliang army would mobilize a large army to besiege Xinfeng City after breaking through Chang'an, and all of them would die here, and absolutely none of them would be spared.

"This is the insidious thing about Jia Xu, who does not hesitate to let an army fill here every day, but also to confuse us, and we are immersed in the joy of victory every day, and we will eventually die in this joy." Pei Qing sighed secretly, after all, he is inexperienced, even Xun You, he is a little immature now, and he can't compare with the treacherous and cunning Jia Xu, it seems that this road to dominating the world is not easy, if you underestimate the heroes of the world, I am afraid that I don't know how I died in the end, this lesson must be remembered in the future!

Xun You is also full of shame, he has always thought that he is unparalleled in his wisdom and clever calculations in the world, but now he still looks a little arrogant, a Jia Xu can confuse himself, is there a hero in this world who is more resourceful than Jia Xu? No one can say for sure, so if you want to really become a person who has no last resort in the future, you still have a long way to go.

"So what do we do now?" Xun You's face was flushed, and he even lost his composure, and asked Pei Qing.

Pei Qing sighed and said slowly: "Our army needs to set off immediately and attack the Xiliang army that has just retreated from behind, the number of the other party is definitely not much, and the soldiers are tired of war, we can fight and flatten, as for Chang'an, then we can only pray that Wang Yun, Lu Bu and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song can hold it, if we can't hold it, even if we go, it's useless, and on the other hand, if we don't defeat this army, not only our own safety will be affected, but the people of the city will also suffer, Jia Xu can be ruthless, but we can't do this, otherwise the court will definitely lose its prestige completely, and you and I will be discredited because of it, no matter how glorious it is in the future, this is also destined to be a stain on our lives. ”
