Outside Xingyang City, in the bushes ambushed by Ma Zhong and others, another group of Wei soldiers of more than 100 people galloped on fast horses.

Tang Bing, who was in charge of the lookout, heard it clearly, and reported in a low voice: "General, Wei is here again, let's continue to wait, or?" ”

Ma Zhong counted and asked, "How many waves is this?" ”

The pawn next to him folded his fingers seriously: "It's the fourth wave, general." ”

The Wei soldiers are getting closer and closer, and the figure of the first general is getting clearer and clearer, and Wei is not only a herald this time, but also a general with a murderous face.

Ma Zhong's eyes lit up: "Good boy, this must be to ask the master for sin, let's not stop it." ”

Five hundred Tang soldiers quietly watched this small Wei army pass, Ma Zhong's eyes rolled, and he decided not to withdraw for the time being, just nailed here to see if Wei Yi would withdraw the army.

At this time, Daliang City seemed to be a little chaotic, and the officials everywhere were in a hurry and didn't know what they were busy with. Weiss ordered the transfer of troops one after another, and even hundreds of soldiers stationed in various small counties were sent to the Zhao-Wei border, and the atmosphere of the big war was about to break out.

In the Tang Embassy Post House, the officials of the mission except Fa Zheng began to pack up their bags, and the deputy envoy Zhang Ji saw that Fa Zheng was still staying in the courtyard leisurely enjoying the scenery, and couldn't help but be anxious: "My lord, as soon as the lieutenant retreats, the Zhao army is about to fight, why don't you pack your bags?" ”

Fa Fang was puzzled: "Why do you have to pack your bags? Where are you going? ”

"Where to go? Of course, it's back to Xingyang! Zhang Ji was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "When Zhao Jun comes over, Wei Wuji reacts to your plan, and we won't be able to go back at that time!" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head helplessly, feeling a little amused at the innocence of his subordinates: "Let everyone rest for a while, I can't go back." ”

Zhang Ji's eyes widened in surprise, he thought about it and thought about it, and was suddenly startled.

"You're not slow to react." Fa Zheng smiled, "Wei Wuji is not a fool, I said that Zhao Jun would believe him if he didn't attack him?" He must wait for the matter to be over before he will let me wait to leave the city, and at that time, he Wei Wuji may visit Xingyang together. ”

...

Fa Zheng said easily, but Zhang Ji was pale when he heard it.

Everyone knows that the Zhao army is eyeing the border, waiting for the news that Wei Yu will withdraw and merge, and the Tang army will take advantage of the situation to pursue, when the Tang and Zhao armies will attack from both sides, and at the same time encroach on the territory of Wei.

At that time, the whole Wei State had to pick the skin of these Tang people in order to get angry?

Zhang Ji's expression was really a little too frightened, and Fa Zheng had no choice but to stand up and pat the young subordinate's shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as I don't fall, you and I won't die." ”

At the same time, in the city of Xingyang in the Tang Kingdom, after a month-long siege by the Wei army, the city was already a little exhausted.

Although the food, grass and equipment were still sufficient, the siege with no end in sight, coupled with the occasional surprise harassment of the Wei army, made the defenders feel very irritable.

Lü Bu, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and Liu Feng were on duty at the city gates on all sides around the clock, and the city defense equipment that the craftsmen kept making at full speed was also carried onto the city wall one after another to prevent a sudden attack by the Wei army.

Mi Yue, who had a big belly, ignored the dissuasion of Fang Li and others, and insisted on going to the city wall every day to boost morale, but Da Qiao couldn't stop it, so he had to accompany him carefully.

After Fang Li finished his daily routine inspection, he locked himself in the study and saw no one, on the one hand, he was anxiously waiting for news from Daliang. On the other hand, he was also thinking about how he could snatch this talent back from Weiss once he withdrew his troops back to Daliang.

Xingyang was impassable, and the news of Cao Cao's great victory could not be transmitted, although Fang Li and the others knew that the strength of Shaoliang and Dajin was not far apart, they still couldn't help but be a little worried.

Xu Huang stood on the east city wall against the cold wind of late autumn, looking at the strict camp of the Wei army in the distance, and began to feel a little anxious: "Is Mr. Xiaozhi's method effective?" It's been a month, and Wei Yu still doesn't move! ”

Just when Xu Huang was chattering anxiously, there was also a quarrel in the Wei army's big tent.

The person sent by Weiss to give the order was named Wang Liao, who was good at commanding troops, and although his prestige was not as good as that of Wei Yu, he was also the number one general of the Wei State Platoon.

The most important thing is that he is brave and unscrupulous, obedient to Weiss's words, and has always been at odds with Wei Yu, which is also an important reason why Weiss sent him to give orders.

The reason for this is that Wei Mi's prestige in the Wei army is too strong, and almost half of the soldiers in the army have experienced his guidance, and Wei Si is very worried that if he sends other people to pass orders, he will be biased towards him, and he may even be persuaded by Wei Yi to disobey his orders.

But Wang Liao obviously won't, as soon as this general who is loyal to the monarch enters the barracks, he almost pulled off the collar of the captain, and he was stopped by the surrounding soldiers before he stopped.

Wei Yu originally came out neatly dressed to greet the Lord's order, but he didn't expect to meet Wang Liao's eyes that wanted to eat people and the anger that almost burned people through, and he couldn't help but be inexplicable: "What does General Wang mean?" Has Wei Yi offended you? ”

Wang Liao was even more angry when he heard this, and his eyes were almost about to burst out: "General Wei, you have a good way of leading the troops, and Wang respects you." But why do you repeatedly disobey orders? Didn't General Fei know that the girder was already in danger? ”

The three waves of heralds were all stopped by Ma Zhong, and none of them came to Xingyang City alive, and Wei Yi was even more strange when he heard this: "Disobedience and disrespect? General Wang, Wei Yu has never received an order from the lord's army, you are the first person to give orders? ”

The surrounding soldiers were also puzzled, and nodded in agreement.

Wang Liao frowned: "The lord has already sent three waves of heralds, and the general hasn't seen any of them?" ”

Three waves of heralds?

Wei Mi's face tightened, and he said solemnly: "General Wang, Wei Mi swears to the sky that he has never received even a military order from the lord!" ”

Although the general will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, but battlefield disobedience is a big taboo for any general, listening to Wang Liao's meaning, Wei Si has already been dissatisfied with himself, Wei Yi can only be busy clarifying.

Although Wang Liao has no brains and does not like Wei Yi, he is not a bully villain, and he knows the seriousness of this matter, although he is skeptical, he still explains the movements of Zhao Jun and Weis's orders in detail.

The two walked all the way into the big tent, and when the curtain was lifted, Wang Liao just finished speaking.

Wei Yu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he never thought that when the battle in Xingyang was going well, he was stabbed in the back.

"General, quickly divide your troops and return to help!" Wang Liao persuaded, "Go back before the Zhao army marches, and explain to the lord well, just say that the previous herald was intercepted by the Tang army, and the lord will understand." ”

Wei Yu was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then took Wang Liao's hand and walked to the front of the map, asking people to point out the location and recent movements of Zhao Jun and Chen Bing, and then thought for a while: "The lord asked me to divide my troops to help?" ”

"Exactly." Wang Liao nodded, "The lord ordered the general to divide 30,000 troops to aid Daliang, leaving 30,000 troops to continue to attack Xingyang." ”

"Confused! How can there be such a method of using soldiers! Wei Yi hammered his fist on the map, and his face turned red with anger, "Either withdraw the army quickly to prevent the Zhao army from raiding, or use all your strength to take Xingyang and then retreat, how can there be half of the argument, isn't this child's play?!" ”

Wang Liao was very superstitious about Weiss, and he couldn't hear anyone say anything disrespectful to the lord, so he immediately lowered his face and held the hilt of the knife: "General Wei, is this trying to disobey?" ”

Wei Yu paused abruptly, meeting Wang Liao's cold gaze, his thoughts were racing in his mind, and his expression was changing.

To be fair, Wei Yu was not in favor of fighting this battle in the first place, and the exhaustion of Wei's forces led to an emptiness in the country, and the surrounding Zhao and Song states, and even the Jin state, which regarded itself as an ally, could take advantage of the weakness. But at that time, Weiss had already made up his mind, and because of the ineffectiveness of the previous battle, Weiss's weight in Weiss's heart was greatly reduced, and he had to be ordered to fight.

But now, Zhao Guo is really ready to fight the autumn wind, and Weiss chose to withdraw his troops at this time It is very wise, but withdraw half? Not to mention whether the 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the Zhao army is a drop in the bucket, once they are attacked from both sides again like before, it is still a question whether the 60,000 troops can be saved!

According to Wei Yi's original temper, even if he disobeyed the order, he would not obey this kind of military order that he didn't have a brain when he heard it, but Wang Liao's attitude made him not have to be cautious.

With Wei Yu's understanding of Wei Si, the lord, he deliberately sent Wang Liao over, I am afraid that it was to prevent himself from disobeying, and the other party may still have the power to cut first and then play.

Thinking of Weiss's moody personality, Wei Yi's cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and he made a decision in the blink of an eye.

"General Wang said and laughed, Wei Yu just asked questions, where is the meaning of disobedience?" Wei Yi smiled and slowly but firmly removed Wang Liao's right hand from the hilt of the sword, "The lord sent General Wang, presumably to let the general lead the troops in one place?" ”

Seeing that Wei Yu was soft, Wang Liao also softened his expression and no longer pressed step by step, but said: "The general is like a god, the lord ordered you to lead 30,000 elites to quickly return to help resist the Zhao army, as for this Xingyang endgame, let the end be cleaned up." ”

As expected, Wei Yi sneered in his heart, completely losing hope in Weiss.

Such a Duke of Wei, such a Wei State, how can it be worth his life to defend it?

Having made up his mind, Wei Yu decisively accepted the order, and immediately ordered 30,000 troops to withdraw to Daliang, and Wang Liao, who took over the Xingyang battle situation, did not even give a word of instruction.

It just so happened that Wang Liao was extremely rigid and conceited in the use of troops, and he always felt that if he Wang Liao had led the troops in the previous attack on Pinglu, he would have captured Pinglu City a long time ago, and at this time, he didn't want to listen to what this famous general who had "repeatedly defeated" instructs, and sent people away directly.

At sunset, Wei Yu gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses and slowly left the camp. Wang Liao Zhuma watched the back of Wei Yi far away, his heart was agitated, and he felt that his own era had finally come.

The movement of the 30,000 army is not small, and it is impossible to hide its movements on the plain outside Xingyang City, and Xu Huang, who has been paying attention to the movements of the Wei army, has seen it clearly from beginning to end.

Although I don't know what happened to the Wei camp, it is always right for 30,000 Wei soldiers to suddenly leave the camp and withdraw in the direction of Daliang, and from the figure, it seems that the leading general of the Wei army has changed?

Xu Huang was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to the palace to report the good news, while he stared at the movement of the Wei army outside the city with round eyes.
