Chapter 488: Retreat and retreat

Immediately spoke, "Young Marshal, General Ma's words just now are also for the reputation of the young marshal, after all, after this battle, the young marshal is bound to be famous in Jiannan, if it is because of the unauthorized killing and captivity of the young marshal to add flaws to the prestige of the young marshal, I am afraid it is not good, there are priorities, His Royal Highness's safety is naturally the top priority, in this case, this general agrees with the young marshal's opinion, only by disposing of these people, can we reinforce Meizhou with peace of mind." ”

"General Ben also agrees with the young marshal's opinion, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Shou, I'm afraid I would still be a small brigade commander in the east camp of the city defense army."

It seems that he didn't expect the attitude of the two people beside him to change so quickly, and now Ma Hongyuan is also incomprehensible, and sighed, "Since this is the case, then it is all up to you to deal with, but this matter is not trivial after all, if it reaches the ears of those officials in the imperial court, not only you, but even His Royal Highness King Shou will inevitably be impeached." There are still some affairs in our army that need to be dealt with, you have dealt with it, when it will be called, just send someone to inform me for the rest of your life! ”

After that, he turned around without the slightest nostalgia.

Looking at the back of the departure of the lord of Hanzhou, Li Wuxin did not feel the slightest sadness, as early as three years ago, he was taken to the Shouwang Mansion and knew from his father that the Hanzhou lord and the Shouwang Mansion were not all the way after all, Ma Hongyuan, who had read poetry and books since childhood, had long been loyal to the monarch and the country, but what he was loyal to was the unsympathetic emperor in Chang'an City from beginning to end, not his father, which he knew well, and his father knew better.

Seeing this person's departure, Shi Hao glanced at the Lizhou Lord General beside him with emotion and said, "What if it reaches their ears?" In the past few years, when do I need to see the faces of those officials in Chang'an City, as a confidant of King Shou, Shi Hao has naturally learned that as early as ten days ago, the Jianmen Army sent troops to confront the Chang'an Forbidden Army that was rushing for thousands of miles, and it had already announced the military spirit of His Royal Highness King Shou, after this battle, I am afraid it is time for the lords of the states to express their determination.

Regarding Shi Hao's words, the lord of Lizhou naturally won't say anything, if he doesn't say half a word in the current situation, I'm afraid that he will be remembered by the young marshal of Jiannan in front of him, and then the gains will really outweigh the losses.

Glancing at the two people in front of him, Li Wuxin said directly: "After collecting the weapons of these Nanzhao soldiers, lead them to a secret place, shoot them directly, don't leave them alive, and order the whole army, after two hours, throw all their own weight, and rush to Meizhou day and night."

Two days later, in Meizhou City, Li Qing of the General's Mansion sat in front of the general's case, his eyes were bloodshot, he glanced at the beautiful woman in plain clothes beside him, and wanted to say something, after a while, listening to the sound of the fighting that was approaching, he finally spoke: "If nothing else, Xue'er has been sent outside the city by Huang Yun, according to the original plan, you should follow Huang Yun to leave Meizhou, but since Yanyu is unwilling to leave, I will not disagree with you after all." ”

Naturally, seeing the tiredness that the man next to him couldn't hide, the plain-clothed beauty stood up, walked behind Li Qing gently, kneaded Li Qing's shoulders, and said comfortingly: "Over the years, my husband and I have been getting together less and leaving more, and now even if I die Yanyu, I will not leave my husband half a step, these ten days of getting along are enough, after all, according to Yanyu's conjecture, I thought that I would be lonely in Chang'an City for the rest of my life." ”

Hold the Tang knife in his hand, "Yan Yu rest assured, it is not without a chance until now, yesterday I received the battle report from Qingxi Pass, Nanzhao's East Road soldiers and horses have been wiped out, I think it will not be long before the Tang army of Qingxi Pass is bound to rush to Meizhou City, now it depends on who holds on for a long time." ”

At this moment, a Xuanwu secret guard with a scimitar on his waist walked into the hall, looked at the Xuanyi Shou King in front of him and bowed down and said: "Your Highness Qiqi, half an hour ago, the Nanzhao army has already broken through the West Gate, and now the two generals Mu/Liu are leading a thousand soldiers to retreat to Qingning Street, and the two generals asked their subordinates to report to the Shou King, hoping that His Highness will prepare early, and they will hold on for half an hour at most." ”

nodded, "How many guards are there in the General's Mansion?" ”

There are now 800 guards in the general's mansion led by the main general of Youmao/Long Erzhou, the guards of the other three gates have been scattered, and the life and death are unknown, and now there is chaos in Meizhou City, and there are Nanzhao soldiers everywhere, and now we are under our control in addition to the stone gate near the general's mansion, Qingtang Erfang, only Qingning Street. But rest assured, as long as we are here, we will definitely protect the safety of His Royal Highness and the princess. ”

On Qingning Street, on an attic, Mu Fan and Liu Yihao stood side by side, looking at the steady stream of Nanzhao soldiers not far away, Mu Fan said: "Over the years, following His Royal Highness to fight in the east and west, I have experienced a lot of large and small wars, similar to today's situation, I'm afraid it's the first time, speaking of which, it's not the first time to fight side by side with you, I'm very curious about your back, every time you fight side by side, you don't seem to do your best, I don't know if this battle can let you play your full strength." ”

Since General Mu wants to compare with me, I can't say that I have to show all my strength this time, after all, I don't know if there will be a chance next time after today.

Two quarters of an hour later, Mu Fan, who had already taken off his armor, looked at the Songzhou general who was not much better than himself back to back with his own with a gun, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, Qingning Street can no longer be defended, order to go down, immediately withdraw to the General's Mansion, and meet the guards in the General's Mansion, we can barely hold it for a moment or three, if all the soldiers and horses are damaged here, we may not be able to guarantee the safety of King Shou." ”

Just do what they say, the remaining 600 sergeants, leaving 200 people behind, and the two of them led the remaining 400 people back to the general's mansion.

Seeing that the two people in front of him wanted to withdraw, the besieging Nanzhao sergeant naturally knew that the critical moment to decide the outcome was coming, and he used twelve points of strength between his hands, and the sound of bows and crossbows resounded in his ears, and after a while, the two hundred soldiers who were responsible for the broken back all fell, but this moment of time was enough for the two to withdraw to the general's mansion. ”

In the lobby, Li Qing looked at the embarrassed two people in front of him, and was about to ask about the battle situation outside, but he heard shouts resounding inside and outside the general's mansion, "The lord of the country has an order, take down the head of King Shou, reward 10,000 gold, seal the king of the north, and hereditary replacement!" "Now it seems that there is no need to ask the two of you about the battle situation outside, but this king didn't expect his head to be so valuable! Ge Luofeng is reluctant. ”

A quarter of an hour later, three thousand southern edict soldiers surrounded the general's mansion, three people and three horsemen stood side by side, all aged around forty years old, one in the middle, looked at the two comrades beside him, and asked tentatively: "Two, now Meizhou City is in our hands, Xuanyi Shou King is in this general's mansion, it is inevitable to break this mansion, but I don't know how the two plan to deal with this Xuanyi Shou King of the Mighty Jiannan after breaking the mansion?" ”
