At this time, Ye Xin came down to the north gate tower under the guard arch, and when he saw the rebel company camp outside the city, he took two steps forward and said:

"Tai Lieutenant, the rebels will not attack the city for the time being, our army still has room to return, so there is no need to worry so much."

Zhang Jun only thought it was Ye Xin's comforting speech, and disagreed:

"Since the rebels started the incident, they have been invincible and invincible, and there is no reason why they will not break the city."

"Tai Lieutenant, although the rebels are numerous, there are still nearly 40,000 old soldiers in Dingyang City, nearly 20,000 Xinding, and 60,000 small soldiers. Second, the rebels have now cut off the southward passage of our army, the grain route has been cut off, and the thunder city has been lost, and the rebels suddenly gave up the siege of Guangxin at this time to besiege Dingyang, and it must be more than 200,000 horses of the Jin army to go to Guangxin.

At most, Guangxin grain and grass will be supported until the beginning of next year, and now there are more than 200,000 mouths of the Jin army overnight, and Guangxin grain and grass will hold on to two to three months at most. Ye judged that the rebels' siege of Dingyang was false, and the intention was to cut off Guangxin's grain and grass was true. ”

At this time, Zhang You said:

"The Jin army can transport grain and grass from the mainland, even if it takes some twists and turns, it will definitely be transported to Guangxin within two months, how can the rebels not know this."

"Major General, it is reported that the Black Turban Thieves have captured more than 150 large warships of the rebels, and if a naval division is pulled up within two months, how can the grain and grass of the Jin army be successfully transported to Guangxin."

Wei Han first sent a warship to Jiangdong, first allocated a part of the grain and grass, and then the Jin army returned to Jiangdong by warship, in fact, the rebel warship had already ambushed the Jin warship on the sea east of Lincheng, and there was no possibility of transporting the grain and grass to Guangxin.

"This is the rebels' plan to eliminate our army's food and grass, and when our army's food and grass are insufficient, we will attack the city, and our army will be powerless."

Ye Xindao, Zhang Jun asked again:

"Then why didn't Guangxin take advantage of the time when there was food to come to the aid of our army from behind, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to drive the rebels away?"

Not to mention that the Jin army would not shed blood for the Xian country, its capture of Pucheng and the battle with the black turban thieves was also to plot Guangxin. If the Guangxin army sent troops to rescue, wouldn't the Jin army take the opportunity to occupy Guangxin, and also say that it was defending the territory for our Xianguo. ”

"Yes, these villains of the Jin Kingdom are only plotting the land of my Xian Kingdom...... Ding Yang Hou sighed, and his eyes suddenly became a little darker.

Ye Xin continued at this time:

"In fact, our army is not completely lifeless, even if the Jin army and the Guangxin ape are like horses, but there are nearly 300,000 people, and the rebels will definitely not attack Dingyang in a big way before the grain and grass in Beihai County are exhausted. Dingyang grain and grass can still be used until winter, and the forage is also enough for two months, and Dingyang has no worries about losing in a short time. ”

Often the more impossible things are, the more likely they are to become a reality, Guangxin has 780,000 defenders, more than 200,000 Jin troops, plus Dingyang, how can there be 3670,000, and the thunder army besieging Dingyang is at most 130,000.

Even if you count the 50,000 black turban troops who cut off Dingyang to Hecheng, Thunder is only 180,000 horses near Dingyang City, which is only half of the Jinxian coalition army.

But after studying it carefully, not to mention that the two armies do not have a unified command system, where will the Jin army shed blood for Xianguo, not to mention that Ji Guang's heart is not right, and he is still thinking about how to seize Guangxin. In this way, the Jin army has nothing to worry about from beginning to end.

As a result, the two armies were fundamentally divided and broken by the Black Turban Army. Even if it was down to the point of embarrassment under the fence at this time, it was still impossible for the Jin army to be driven by the Xian State.

Of course, Guangxin is now pinching the grain and grass of the Jin army, and can cut off the grain as a threat to force the Jin army to go south to fight the rebels, but it is difficult to say that the Jin army suddenly withdrew at a critical moment and exposed the back of the Xian army to the rebels.

Therefore, the current situation is that even though the coalition forces have 3.67 million troops in Beihai County, they are actually hindering each other and it is difficult to exert half of their actual strength, and they are deceiving each other, so how can they work together to control the enemy.

After the rebels cut off the passage of Dingyang through Hecheng, the letter sent by Guangxin to Chenling could only go through Lincheng through Maoqiu, and one person and one horse went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and it took six days to reach Chenling at the earliest.

After the passage of Hecheng was cut off, the news sent by Shanling to Beihai County was like a stone sinking into the sea, and then the defenders of Hecheng found that the rebels had built a fort of camp and earth fort eighty miles north of Hecheng, and only the defenders of Hecheng were thousands of old and weak county soldiers and civilian troops were unable to break through, so they hurried to Shanling for help, and quickly dispatched troops to help, for fear that the rebels would immediately break through Hecheng.

Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard that the passage from Hecheng to Dingyang was cut off by the rebels, Ye Xin's 30,000 cavalry was in Dingyang, and to block the road to Hecheng, it was necessary to pass through Dingyang. But when I think about it, I think it's impossible.

50,000 horses and horses fought against Dingyang, and they couldn't hide it at all, Ye Xin's 30,000 cavalry attacked it, and the 50,000 rebels also had to suffer heavy casualties, so it would not be so easy to build a fortress north of Hecheng.

The only possibility is that the rebels can open the road from the west of the capital county to the south of Dingyang, and move the soldiers and horses to the north of Hecheng through this road.

The news that the passage of Hecheng was cut off has not yet calmed down, and the news of the loss of Lei City has caused an uproar, Zhao Xun clearly knows that this is the most fatal, the grain and grass of the Jin army are gone, and the grain and grass of the Jin army on the bank of the Yongxing River cannot be transported, so the Jin army can only sit and wait in Beihai County to eat the grain of the Xian army, which means that the food shortage in Beihai County is three months in advance.

Guangxin sent a letter to urge food one after another, the king of Xian could not sleep at night, the Jin army ran out of food, the most urgent nature was Xihuan, today again into the palace to negotiate with the king of Xian face to face.

"Father, the Jin army is about to run out of food, why don't you send reinforcements north to rescue and open up the grain route."

"Crown Princess, the Jin army has more than 200,000 horses, eating Guangxin's grain and grass but not moving, can't the Jin army go south to relieve the siege?"

King Xian couldn't bear to ask Xihuan, but Xihuan was right:

"General Ji sent a letter saying that Guangxin Gong only gave three days of food at a time, and then gave it after three days, so maliciously making it difficult and humiliating the Jin army, how could General Ji urge the army to go south to relieve the siege."

Hecheng was cut off from the passage, but Guangxin was still able to send the letter to Lingling from Jinglin City and Maoqiu, and King Xian and Xihuan knew more or less about the situation in Guangxin, and both sides were complaining to their masters.

Ji Guang told the Xian army that he would not give grain and grass, and Baili Yan told the Jin army that he wanted to escape back to Jiangdong by boat. Even though King Xian knows it in his heart, pulling this kind of thing in front of his daughter-in-law is neither in line with his status as an elder nor in person.

However, "ginger" is still old and spicy, and King Xian asked sarcastically at this time:

"Crown Princess, if Guangxin gives enough food and grass, can General Jiguang go south to relieve the siege for the widow?"

Where can Xihuan be the master of the Jin army, he was such a general by King Xian, so he had to say vaguely:

"As long as my father orders Guangxin to supply grain and grass for fifteen days, General Ji will have a proposition."

"Humph!" King Xian snorted coldly: "The black turban thieves have 170,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses around Dingyang, and the more than 200,000 Jin troops can be defeated?" It won't be to take the widow's grain and grass and take a boat back to the Jin Kingdom to recuperate and calm down. ”

As soon as King Xian said a word, Xihuan's face immediately turned red and he was embarrassed. In her heart, she didn't plan to let the Jin army send heads to Xianguo, where could she let the Jiguang army go south to relieve the siege.

"Father, you can't sit back and watch the Jin army run out of food."

"When did the Jin army run out of grain, didn't they still eat Guangxin's grain and grass?"

Xihuan was speechless for a moment, realizing that he had accidentally said the wrong thing, and then King Xian said:

"Even if the grain and grass are transported to Guangxin from the Jin army camp on the east bank of the Yongxing River at this time, it can only wait until next month, unless the crown princess can say that An Taihou can be mobilized and the Liang army can be used to send grain to the Jin army, otherwise the widow will not be able to draw a soldier and a soldier to send food to the Jin army at this moment. The crown princess, please go back, the widow is tired today. ”

When the words fell, King Xian stood up, walked out of the Guangyuan Hall without looking back. Xihuan's face was calm, and he was eaten by King Xian's cold face, and his heart was extremely unhappy, and he had no intention of staying, and then left the palace in a car.

King Xian was walking on the way to Bailing Garden, and Gao Xun came in a hurry, holding two secret letters sealed with iron boxes in his hands.

"Your Majesty, the secret letter sent back by Lord Xun from Zhiguo, and the other secret letter from my country's envoy to Liang State."

"Oh, show it to the widow."

"No."

Gao Xun took the iron box, and King Xian confirmed that it was intact, and opened the two letters one after another to take a closer look.

"King, what did Lord Xun say in his letter?" Gao Xun asked bravely.

"Good news, Zhiguo has promised to sell grain and grass to the widow, and it is being shipped. The first half of it will enter our Xianguo through Suidang County, and the other half will wait for the silver to be paid, and then Zhiguo will send it again. ”

"That's great, it's really revealing the urgent need of our country."

"But...... Liang Guo sent a letter, Beihai has been rampant with pirates recently, and millions of inches of silver are difficult to arrive in a short time, and Liang Jun has to wait for the next batch of Liang Army's grain and grass, and they will be escorted to Dongyuan County by Liang Guo's sailors together, and it will be two months later at the earliest. ”

"Will this miss the agreement with Zhiguo, if Zhiguo repents, it will be a big deal."

"It doesn't matter, the widow has already scraped together more than 500,000 taels of silver, and when the Zhiguo sailor transports the grain and grass to Suidang County, the widow can transport the silver money to Zhiguo, so that Lord Xun can have a room to turn around."

Xun Mu personally rushed to Zhiguo, on the purchase of grain and grass baggage and strategic materials urgent consultation, although Zhiwang agreed, but only agreed to half of the pearl trade, generally with silver and gold trade, with pearl trading part is being sent to Xianguo, with precious metals trading part will only wait for the money to arrive will be shipped.

"Gao Xun, Uncle Guang, old gentleman, can I bring something to the widow."

"Your lord, the old gentleman said that as long as there is food, drag the rebels, and the rebels will retreat sooner or later."

"Yes, but how long do you have to hold on to the widows, the widows can afford it, and the Xianguo can't afford it. What did General Zhao Xun say over there? ”

"Back to the king, Yongxinghe really can't spare half of his troops to go north to increase troops and join the city, and now the black turban thieves are fighting in Xu State, and they will soon detour to the south flank of Sun Guo, and although Sun Guo is the Changsun State in Beihai, he has withstood the rebels in Shutian County.

However, the Changsun Bu army was finally useless, and most of the rebels who withstood the offensive were temporarily unharmed because the main force of the rebels dragged them in our Xianguo. If our army is defeated and the rebels sweep away the Changsun Kingdom, I am afraid it will be two or three years.

The only hope now is to transport the grain and grass back as soon as possible to stabilize the people's feelings and the army's morale, but it really can't be done, so we can only ......."

Gao Xun wanted to speak and stopped, and King Xian frowned and said:

"What can it be?"

"Please forgive the sins."

"But it doesn't hurt to say, the widow forgives you for your innocence."

"King Xie. The minister thought that the Jin army was unusable, and it was still okay to scare and scare the country. If General Wei can come forward and borrow troops from Qiguo, it is not impossible. ”

"What? Borrowing troops from the country? How to borrow? ”

King Xian lowered his face and questioned rhetorically, and Gao Xun said:

"General Wei is a native of Qiguo, and Qiguo has repeatedly sent envoys to lobby General Wei to return to China to serve, if General Wei is used as a price to borrow 100,000 troops from Qiguo, it may be able to solve the urgent need at the moment."

When King Xian heard the news, he was furious:

"It's ridiculous, how can a widow resist General Wei to Qiguo."

"The minister lost his words, the minister should die, and please calm the king's anger."

Gao Xun was sincerely afraid of asking for guilt, but King Xian was still angry:

"Thou hast called the widow how to appease his wrath. Wei Xian is the pillar of my Xianguo, the arm of the widow, the son-in-law of Princess Lanyuan, a Wei general who arrived at the world's million-dollar hero, you let the widow sell General Wei, how do you tell the world to look at the widow.

General Wei served the widow to the death, if he returned to Qi Kingdom, how could King Qi reuse him, how could the people of Jin State let him go, you are trapping the widow in injustice, do you know! ”

"The minister deserves death, and the minister knows the crime."

"Alright, get up. This matter can not be mentioned again, if it is known by Wei Xian, Wei Xian will be separated from the widow, this is a matter of relatives and enemies, how can it be done. ”

"The minister understands, it's the minister who is confused for a while."

"Go, let the prince come to Bailing Garden to see the widow, Xihuan's belly is now a widow and can see that he is pregnant with the Jiang family's species, but why don't the other women move at all, the widow wants to ask him face to face."

"No, the minister will bring the prince to meet him immediately."
