Li Shangquan didn't care what Xu Chi's psychology was, and directly led the troops back to Yicheng County.

The war was fought, and the Jinyi guards who supervised the war also saw it.

The Lord will be attentive, and the soldiers will suffer many casualties with their lives.

The three-day battle resulted in three to four thousand casualties.

led the army back to the city for repairs, and Xu Chi had nothing to say.

On this day, Tang Xidong was giving a banquet to the imperial historian Cao Xinghua, and the soldiers outside the hall reported: there is a new military situation.

Tang Xidong hesitated for a moment, and recruited the spies to enter the hall.

And then order it to return.

The spy bluntly said: When the army arrived outside the Dongwuling Pass, General Li saw that the pass was dangerous, and decided to convene the generals to discuss countermeasures, and did not want the imperial court to directly enter the camp to urge the battle, and threatened to ask the Holy Majesty to surrender the crime, General Li had no choice but to pull out the camp in the early morning of the next day and ordered the siege. It's just that tens of thousands of rebels were closed, and the terrain under the pass was narrow, and it was difficult to use troops. On the face of three days, Xu Qianhu urged the battle day by day, General Li attacked the city day and night, but unfortunately failed to succeed, more than 5,000 people were injured in three days, hundreds of shells were consumed, and the soldiers were tired.

Tang Xidong listened to the spies' report, his face gradually became gloomy, and then he directly dropped his wine glass and scolded loudly: "What is Li Shangquan doing to eat, it took three days to fight each small pass, and he killed and injured 5,000 of my people, don't you want to do it?" ”

The spy was frightened and replied again and again: It's really too dangerous to pass the pass, and the persecution of thousands of households in brocade clothes is too tight!

Tang Xidong waved his hand to let him out, and sat on the chair, his chest was angry and undulating.

The originally happy atmosphere of the hall suddenly became awkward.

Cao Xinghua, the imperial historian on the side, touched the cup even more, his face was embarrassed.

"Lord Cao, what do you think of this?" Tang Xidong turned his head and asked.

Cao Xinghua smiled awkwardly, and was speechless at this time.

Jia Huaizhong on the side snickered, and then sighed: "When using soldiers, I am most afraid that people who don't understand military affairs will add their hands to the side." It's just that the patrol may not know that the person who is now supervising the war is the Son of Heaven's pro-army Jinyi Guard, who is really arrogant, and the Manchu Dynasty is not afraid of the civil and military, and the Lord Yushi has no choice! ”

When Jia Huaizhong said this, he choked the neck of the imperial historian Cao Xinghua.

What does Cao Xinghua do? It was sent by Emperor Chongzhen to supervise the war, and it can be said that it represents the imperial court, and besides, it is the imperial history, what is the imperial history for? No one is afraid of no one and no bird, Lao Tzu can participate in whoever he wants.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the rise of party contention, the imperial history is the sharpest knife of the imperial court.

At this time, you Jia Huaizhong said that I, Cao Xinghua, am afraid of Jinyiwei, and the Manchu Dynasty is afraid of civil and military, can I Cao Xinghua be afraid?

I'm just afraid, and I can't admit it? Otherwise, how to settle down in Pingyang City in the future, and how to carry out their own work of supervising the war.

So Cao Xinghua, whose face turned red, slapped the table directly: "This Xu Qianhu is really a mistake, he doesn't understand the war, so he will point fingers, don't be annoyed by the patrol, today the official will play a recital, and tell the saint the truth about this matter, I believe that with the holy judgment, he will definitely give an explanation to the patrol." ”

After speaking, Cao Xinghua didn't stay, didn't eat the wine, and went home directly.

Behind him, Tang Xidong shouted again and again: "Lord Cao, don't worry, don't worry!" This matter is only to blame for the incompetence of the officers under the official, and you must not offend the thousands of households in brocade. ”

The more Tang Xidong shouted, the faster Cao Xinghua's footsteps became.

Behind him, Tang Xidong looked at the back of Cao Xinghua leaving, and smiled at Jia Huaizhong.

Next, the play is ready to be played.

An hour after Cao Xinghua's recital, he flew out of Pingyang City.

Tang Xidong ordered the spies to spread the news everywhere, ordering Li Shangquan to re-rotate the new army, and then attack the city again.

For seven days in a row, Li Shangquan waited for the arrival of the rotating new army in Yicheng County.

And Xu Chi gradually couldn't stay anymore, and came to urge every day.

On this day, the army entered the city.

Li Shangquan went out of the city to greet him, Xu Chi was curious, how to reinforce the new army, a main general had to go out of the city to greet him, in order to find out, so he followed out of the city.

It's a pity that when I went out of the city, I saw that there were indeed new army soldiers all over the body, and no big people came.

So in the evening of this day, Xu Chi entered the camp again to urge Li Shangquan to go to attack the city: "General Li, now that the reinforcements of the 20,000 army have arrived, can we go to Dongwuling tomorrow to tackle the key problems?" ”

Li Shangquan frowned, and said bitterly: "Xu Qianhu also saw it before, the Dongwuling Pass is strong, the terrain is narrow, and the army is useless to attack the city day and night, and the soldiers are injured in vain, why not wait, let Li gather his generals to discuss a countermeasure, and then attack the city." ”

"General Li, this thousand households can wait for the saint, if they don't go to attack the city tomorrow, this thousand households will definitely ask the saint to punish him."

After speaking, Xu Chi turned around and left with a cold face.

Xu Chi left, and two figures walked out of the back hall, but under the light, it was Tang Xidong and Cao Xinghua.

"Lord Cao, today is what your old man has seen and heard in person, it is really too much persecution from thousands of households!" Li Shangquan complained.

"Shangquan will take the siege tomorrow, don't worry about other matters, Lord Cao's sleeves are clean, fair and selfless, and the war has already been played truthfully, you can rest assured that you will attack the city!" Tang Xidong comforted.

Cao Xinghua glared angrily at the direction of Xu Chi's departure outside the door: "It's really flying, it's really flying, the little Qianhu dares to threaten the holy will and corrupt the army." ”

On the second day, Li Shangquan led the new army to Dongwuling again, this time Tang Xidong and Cao Xinghua personally accompanied the army, and the two changed their clothes and hid in the army.

So the army attacked the city again, and the previous scene reappeared again, in order to perform the siege of the city, Li Shangquan did more drama this time, put a lot of artillery, the gunfire was even louder, and the recruits were even more flocky, and in the end, of course, thousands of people were injured, and they had no choice but to evacuate.

In the big camp, Li Shangquan asked: "What bad intentions did Xu Qianhu do to make a certain day attack the city and damage his subordinates in vain?" Can't you wait for a certain day to think about it? ”

Xu Chi replied again: This is the will of God.

At this time, Cao Xinghua entered from outside the tent, pointed at Xu Chisel and scolded: "Little Qianhu, you are so domineering, damaging my Ming Dynasty, damaging my Ming soldiers, I will definitely expose today's matter in the court, so that the saint can see clearly your group of hamsters who eat and worship in vain." ”

Then Cao Xinghua left angrily.

Xu Chi looked dazed, what do you mean, when did this adult arrive?

Xu Chi left the camp in a daze, and then Tang Xidong entered the camp to meet Li Shangquan.

"Shangquan, the play is good, the next thing is the point, but you have to beat me well, play a momentum, and win a big victory?"

"Sir, don't worry, you will be able to take Dongwuling tomorrow."

Li Shangquan patted his chest and promised.

Tang Xidong just wants to show Cao Xinghua, you see the people sent by the imperial court to supervise the war, my soldiers used their lives, thousands of dead and wounded failed to capture Dongwuling, and now relying on ourselves, this Dongwuling will be easily taken.

If you slap your face, you must hit it so hard that the other party no longer dares to intervene in the military.
