In the early morning of the next day, it was another good weather, which allowed the Shu army's offensive to expand as scheduled and rapidly.

Fast horses kept galloping into Tongzhou City, which was heavily guarded by the city, which made Zhu Qingxian, who had been in a good mood for the past few days, very surprised.

Zhu Qingxian took in Wei Song, who was opposed to Yang Yi, but apparently he did not expect the Shu army to react so strongly, and launched a fierce attack on the western front of Tongzhou without the slightest warning.

In just one morning, Zhu Qingxian received that the Shu army had successively conquered several important towns and passes on the western front of Tongzhou, and the main force of the Shu army did not pause at all, directly bypassing the city passes that were not the main roads along the way, and came to Tongzhou City.

"Are these nine nerds crazy? For the sake of a Wei Song, he dares to attack us desperately? Ji Yan said angrily.

In fact, Ji Yan was extremely frightened in his heart, because he single-handedly facilitated the admission of Wei Song, and the banner of the Shu army was to arrest the traitor.

Zhu Qingxian sat on the main seat, his face was a little embarrassed, and he closed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't you see it yet, Wei Song is just an excuse, and the Shu army has been planning for a long time."

Ji Yan exclaimed, "My lord, you mean... Wei Song was deliberately given to us by Lu Yuanliang? ”

"Hmph, who are the Nine Nerds? Who is Lu Yuanliang? A little Wei Song has all kinds of abilities, and it is absolutely impossible for him to escape from Wenzhou Mansion so easily. Zhu Qingxian condensed.

The corners of Ji Yan's mouth trembled slightly, as if he was afraid that Zhu Qingxian would blame himself.

Zhu Qingxian saw Ji Yan's uneasiness, although he complained in his heart that this person had brought him a curse, but at this time, it was the time to use people, and Ji Yan was his right and left hand, and it was probably inappropriate to kill him.

"Master Ji, don't mess with yourself, he Yang Yi has already coveted our Tongzhou, even if there is no matter of Wei Song, there will definitely be other conspiracies." Zhu Qingxian said with a smile.

Ji Yan bowed his hand in shame when he heard this, still worried: "But my lord, the Shu army is menacing, what should we do?" ”

Zhu Qingxian stood up and said with a smile: "He is too nerd to underestimate me Zhu Qingxian, although our Tongzhou is not extensive, but there are many soldiers and enough food, if he wants to play, the old man will play with him." ”

After a pause, Zhu Qingxian gritted his teeth and said: "It's really forcing me to be anxious, I'll have a jade burn with him, don't think about it well." ”

Ji Yan said condensedly: "What does the counselor mean....Yang Jie? ”

Zhu Qingxian sighed helplessly: "The old man originally wanted to survive in the mountain nest of Yang Yi and Yang Jie, a tiger and a wolf, but the nine nerds deceived people too much, so it's no wonder that the old man is no wonder."

Ji Yan, you immediately sent someone with my letter to the Kyoto military camp in Gyeongju Prefecture to ask for help, and said that I, Zhu Qingxian, am willing to lead the soldiers and civilians of Tongzhou to return to the imperial capital, and hope that they will send troops to rescue as soon as possible. ”

Ji Yan said: "In this way, as long as we hold on for a few days, when the Kyoto army arrives, the Shu army will be defeated without a fight!" ”

Zhu Qingxian nodded and said, "It's a pity, this is such a good river and mountain..."

In order to save his life, Zhu Qingxian had to give up Tongzhou to others, which was really a helpless move.

However, Lu Yuanliang obviously guarded against Zhu Qingxian's hand, and after Zhu Qingxian's letter for help was just sent, in the evening, a sergeant came to report on the military situation on the front line.

"What? The Shu army has reached two hundred miles west of Tongzhou? ”

This time, even Zhu Qingxian couldn't sit still, obviously the Shu army didn't give Zhu Qingxian a chance to ask for help, and only wanted to conquer Tongzhou City quickly.

The sweaty sergeant replied: "Yes, my lord, the Shu army has already passed Liangxian, they bypassed the various city passes along the way, and went straight in, and they may be under the city of Tongzhou at noon at the earliest!" ”

Zhu Qingxian gritted his teeth and said: "How could it come so quickly, the nine nerds are trying to force me to death!" ”

Ji Yan thought about it and said, "Counselor, our letter for help has been sent, and it will be delivered to the Kyoto army in five days." We have more than 20,000 troops in Tongzhou City, there is enough food and grass, there will be no problem in holding on for ten days, and the adults will send orders to the counties again, so that the generals from all over the country can come to relieve the siege, I don't believe that he Yang Yi and Lu Yuanliang can fly in with wings! ”

Zhu Qingxian nodded and asked, "Ten days... As long as we refuse to defend it, we may not have no chance of winning. As long as we send troops to attack and harass its logistics supply line, after ten days, there is no need for the arrival of the Kyoto army, and the Shu army will collapse without a fight. ”

Ji Yan said again: "Yes, my lord, what the Shu army lacks most now is time. After thinking about it, Ji Yan came up with a more vicious plan, and said: "Didn't the Shu army come under the banner of arresting Wei Song, my lord might as well cut off Wei Song's head and send it to the Shu army camp, I see how he Lu Yuanliang responds, even if the Shu army does not retreat, we can delay for some time!" ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" Zhu Qingxian said happily: "Come on, go and cut off Wei Song's head and send it to the Shu army, just say that we have handed over the thief head, and hope that they will retreat quickly." ”

Ji Yan's plan is extremely vicious, and he doesn't remember Wei Song's affection to please him, it can be said that he flew separately when the catastrophe came, and Wei Song was also confused, and he didn't expect that he would escape death when he fled into Tongzhou City.

Zhu Qingxian was on pins and needles in the house, and soon waited for the news from the front.

When Zhu Qingxian's envoy sent Wei Song's head into the Shu army camp, Lu Yuanliang didn't even look at it and said that this person was not Wei Song, and Zhu Qingxian's envoy was beaten half to death and sent back.

The bruised messenger had a mixture of snot and tears, knelt in front of Zhu Qingxian and cried: "That... Then Lu Yuanliang said, Wei Song is still hiding in our Tongzhou City, and he wants to... I want you to open the city gate and let the Shu army come in and search for it, otherwise... Otherwise, the fiercest attack will be launched against us! ”

"Too much deception!" Zhu Qingxian angrily smashed the teacup in front of him and scolded: "He, Lu Yuanliang, is he bullying me and no one in the same state?" ”

Seeing this, Ji Yan offered another plan: "Don't be angry, Counselor, that Lu Yuanliang is a descendant of Guigu, and he is very cunning, so it is not surprising to see through our delaying plan." ”

"So what should we do now?" Zhu Qingxian said coldly.

"Shrink your forces and hold on for reinforcements." Leap Road.

Zhu Qingxian was even more angry when he heard this: "In the past few days, I have sent several letters asking for help to various city gates, but there is no news as if they were sinking into the sea. ”

What Zhu Qingxian didn't know was that his letter for help was sent to the guards in various places on the front foot, and another order to stand by on the back foot would also be sent, and this letter was from Hua Ying's hand.

The generals everywhere are not stupid, everyone can see the current trend, Hua Ying and Zhu Qingxian's regime, no one wants to wade in this muddy water, if you are the first bird and send troops to rescue Tongzhou City, in case Zhu Qingxian is defeated, then you will have to be buried with you.

The most important thing is that the Shu army came too fast, and everyone did not react, let alone prepare, at this time, if you don't think about it before acting, you may really miss and become a thousand years of hatred.
