"Brother Zhu!" Shi Min shouted to Zhu Song.

"The last general!"

"Take the brethren into the palace." Shi Min commanded.

"Withdraw?" Zhu Song was stunned.

Shi Min's order made his subordinates a little confused, and Zhang Mufeng also asked on the side: "General, the wolf cavalry captain has never known how to attack, not how to retreat, and the people in the patrol battalion are just a group of rabble, we don't need to be afraid of them at all!" ”

Shi Min frowned slightly and explained to everyone: "I'm not afraid of them! Rather, you are reluctant to trade your lives for victory! The current situation is clearly not in favor of the wolf rider. You can't fight a war by brute force! I will not be so stupid as to fight for the strengths of others without a fight. ”

After listening to Shi Min's words, some people understood, and some still didn't understand, but the military order was like a mountain, and under Shi Min's command, the wolf cavalry retreated to the palace as fast as possible.

Shi Jian's subordinates asked, "Your Highness, what does Shi Min want to do!" Why did his men retreat into the palace? ”

"Shi Min seems to know that his wolf cavalry captain is fighting with the patrol battalion in the streets and alleys, and he can't take much advantage, so he retreats into the palace." Shi Jian said slowly.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have something to say." The boss suddenly said next to him.

"Now that Yecheng is still under our control, we should distribute the forces at hand, guard the exit of Yecheng, cut off all exchanges between Yecheng and the outside world, and wait for reinforcements from Pengcheng and other places."

Shi Jian nodded slightly, and commanded, "There is some truth in what you said!" ”

The boss said again: "Although the forbidden army was defeated, but many people still came out, now is the time to employ people, it is better to recruit the forbidden army on the spot, one can have more manpower, and they have a better understanding of the situation in the palace, if we attack the palace to capture Shi Min, it is good that someone will lead the way." ”

"You are responsible for this matter!" Shi Jian instructed the boss.

"Subordinates take orders!"

"And!" Shi Jian suddenly remembered an important matter, and instructed him: "Arrest all the family members of the Xihua Hou Mansion, and this king wants them to die in front of Shi Min one by one!" ”

"Yes!"

Concubine Zheng's death is a knot that Shi Jian can't untie, originally there was only a pure power struggle between the Ning Wangfu and the Xihua Marquis Mansion, but now it seems that the resentment of personal enmity has far exceeded the desire for power.

For Shi Min, the relationship between him and Shi Jian is more of a personal enmity.

Retreating into the palace was naturally a good choice, but Shi Min knew that it was just an expedient measure. If the patrol battalion outside attacked with all their might, it would be impossible to defend it with these three thousand wolf cavalry captains.

But fortunately, Shi Jian did not rush to attack after Shi Min retreated into the palace, firstly, he was not completely sure of winning, and secondly, he was worried that Shi Min would have some unexpected means to deal with him. Instead of a reckless and crazy attack, it is better to do some other things first, such as rescuing Gao Shangzhi, such as taking down the family members of Xihua Hou Mansion.

"General, Shi Jian hasn't attacked yet!" Zhang Mufeng said to Shi Min.

Shi Min replied while looking at the map: "He will attack sooner or later, but not now." ”

"I really can't see it, this old boy Shijian is really a little capable!" Zhang Mufeng muttered.

"What about the forbidden brothers who helped us?" Shi Min suddenly raised his head and asked.

Zhang Mufeng looked around and saw seven or eight people sitting in the corner, bandaging each other's wounds.

"General, there they are!" Zhang Mufeng pointed to the corner and said to Shi Min.

Shi Min looked up, then stood up and walked towards Sima Feng and the others, and Zhang Mufeng hurriedly followed.

"Brother Dead Horse!" Shi Min saluted and shouted.

This move frightened Sima Feng a lot, Sima Feng didn't care about the injuries on his body, and hurriedly got up and wanted to salute, but was pressed by Shi Min and sat down.

"Master Hou......" Sima Feng was a little at a loss.

"Thank you and your brothers today, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid Shi Min would have died in the hands of Shi Jian today!"

"Hou Yefu has a great life! The little ones just did what they had to do. Sima Feng said, looked at the few people left around him, and said quite sadly: "It's a pity that most of my brothers can't work for Master Hou anymore!" ”

"Brother Sima, don't worry, today's grudge between us and Ning Wangfu is not shared! I, Shi Min, will definitely avenge all my brothers! ”

"Master Xie!" Sima Feng said that he was going to kowtow to Shi Min.

"Brother Sima!" Shi Min stopped Sima Feng again and said, "There is one more thing to bother you now!" ”

"Master Hou commands!"

"Although we have retreated into the palace now, and Shi Jian has not launched an attack, the current peace is only temporary! We must stand by for help! This palace has a high-walled compound, and even if Shi Jian wants to attack it, it will not be so easy, but the premise is that we must guard every palace gate! ”

"Hou Ye means ......"

"Inside and outside this palace, no one is more familiar with it than your brothers, while Shi Jian has not launched an attack yet, you must hurry up and take these brothers of mine and arrange heavy guards for the key places! lest Shi Jian treat people to sneak attack! ”

Sima Feng suddenly realized, nodded hurriedly, and said, "The villain understands!" Hou Ye rest assured! ”

After speaking, Sima Feng stood up and instructed his subordinates: "Brothers, hold on a little longer!" We still have something to do! ”

At this time, Shi Min said again: "Now that the palace is in chaos, I am afraid that there are still many remnants of those loyal to Shi Jian hiding in the palace, you must also find them out as soon as possible!" lest we suffer losses! ”

"Yes! The villain will do it! ”

Shi Min instructed Zhang Mufeng: "Mufeng, take someone to go with Brother Sima, whatever he says, you can do it!" Do you understand? ”

Zhang Mufeng glanced at Sima Feng, hesitated for a moment, and responded: "The last general will take the order." ”

Shi Min's absolute trust in Sima Feng moved Sima Feng and the others very much, and they all participated in Shi Min's arrangement regardless of their pain.

At the same time, Shi Jian was still worried about Gao Shangzhi's comfort, but Shi Jian's men searched all over Yecheng, but Gao Shangzhi didn't know what to do, and the forbidden army that besieged Qin Huaishan and others had already been dispersed by Mengtai's people, this news was undoubtedly worse for Shi Jian, who had just lost his mother.

With a "bang", Shi Jian kicked over the table on the side and scolded his subordinates: "Yecheng is so big!" This king doesn't believe it, they will still fly away! ”

"Your Highness, maybe they have taken advantage of the chaos to get out of the city just now!"

"Impossible!" Shi Jian waved his hand decisively and said, "They must still be in Yecheng!" ”

"Your Highness, I just heard from the people below that it seems to be Qin Huaishan who is holding the adult hostage!" Lao Wu said suddenly.

"What? Qin Huaishan? Shi Jian thought he had misheard.

"That's right! That's him! ”

Hearing this news, Shi Jian was even more angry, the person he had trusted for more than ten years actually betrayed him!

"In this way, what the adults were worried about last night is true, this Qin Huaishan has indeed secretly been loyal to the Xihua Hou Mansion!" Lao Wu said on the side.

"No, no, no!" Shi Jian said with a cold face: "It's not a matter of whether he betrayed this king now, but the news he brought back yesterday must be fake!" ”

"Fake? But the third brother personally went to Handan to find out the news, that's right! ”

"I'm afraid what the third child saw was a scam deliberately arranged by Wang Shicheng and them! We've been fooled! Shi Jian was full of remorse, and immediately instructed Lao Wu: "You can quickly send a message to Wang Luan, so that he can no longer send troops to Handan no matter what, and he can rush back to Yecheng!" ”

"Early this morning, Wang Luan has already set up camp and headed north, I'm afraid it's too late at this moment!"

"I'm going too late!" Shi Jian grabbed Lao Wu with a hideous face and said, "Send someone to urge again, Pengcheng, as well as the soldiers and horses in Pingyang and other places, so that they must arrive before dark tomorrow!" Just go! ”

The fifth child was really startled when he saw Shi Jian like this for the first time, and he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately bowed and retreated.
