When Murong Yong fainted and was in chaos in the city, the people outside the city were also nervous because of Kuang En's injury.

Wei Shuo, Cui Hao, Jiang Ji, Sima Xiuzhi, Wang Zhongde and others all gathered in front of a big tent at the rear of the camp, which was where the Hexi Army treated the wounded during the war.

Watching the doctors come and go, everyone's faces were full of nervousness.

Most of the guards stared at the big tent with a gloomy face, for fear that there would be three long and two short in it.

Although it was a pity that the siege fell short, Wei Shuo was even more concerned about Kuaien's safety.

The eldest son is now in Hexi's pocket, and sooner or later he will fall, and if he loses a general because of this, it is not worth it.

Finally, when everyone was waiting impatiently, a doctor opened the tent and came out.

"Most of the capital is protected, Captain Kuai is no longer in danger of life, but he is ......"

"Just what? If you have something to say, don't ramble. ”

"No! The arrow hit the left eye, although he saved his life, but he could not save his eye, and I am afraid that he will ...... in the future."

"Yes, I understand."

Knowing that Kuang En was not worried about his life, but only injured his left eye, Wei Shuo was immediately relieved.

Then he went in to visit him and comforted him a few words.

Unexpectedly, Kui was more optimistic than he imagined, and he didn't take the injury to heart at all.

He grinned and said, "One less eye is one less, as long as your life is okay." ”

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei's famous general Xiahou Yuanrang didn't also lose an eye?"

"Besides, this time the last general also killed Murong Yong's son, which can be regarded as a big profit."

"Okay, Dawn is so open-minded, Shuo is relieved."

"You take good care of your injuries, and when your body is healed, you will continue to fight the world with the protection of Pontus."

……

Murong Hong's death in battle and Murong Yong's fainting caused Xiyan to fall into a panic, but fortunately, the crown prince Murong Liang and Li Xian stood up in time to stabilize the situation.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, there is already an undercurrent surging underneath.

Except for a few Xianbei diehards, most of them did not want to be buried with Xiyan.

In the past, when Murong Yong was there, he could still use his prestige to deter Xiaoxiao, but now as soon as he fell, all parties were suddenly ready to move.

Xiyan's chaos gave Hexi a chance, and Huan Zhen, who had infiltrated the city, immediately gathered his subordinates to try to assist the army in capturing the eldest son.

There is a warehouse in the north of the eldest son city, which is where the merchants gather their goods.

A few months ago, Huan Zhen infiltrated his eldest son in the guise of a businessman, and spent a lot of money to lease this warehouse in order to hide people's eyes.

After the war began, no one in the city had the heart to do business, and the warehouses gradually became deserted.

On this day, there was still no one in the warehouse, and the goods were discarded on the ground in a mess.

However, when it got dark, people sneaked in one after another.

By the time of the third watch, there were about 200 people gathered in the warehouse.

When they arrived, they drew out a sharp sword, a five-shot repeater, and a barrel of arrows from the large pile of goods near the corner.

The strong man who used to look like a buddy has suddenly transformed into a well-trained army.

Although they were still wearing ordinary people's clothes, just looking at them in an extremely neat queue, and the two hundred people gathered together without making a sound, it could be seen that this was an elite army.

Everyone rested the horizontal knife on their laps and sat silently, a man in the front put his hands on his knees, his eyes slightly closed, who else could it be if it wasn't Huan Zhen?

At the beginning, in order to ensure that the eldest son was captured, Huan Zhen was ordered to take two hundred elites to infiltrate the eldest son in advance.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to complete the task soon, but he waited for several months before waiting for the Hexi Army.

In fact, Huan Zhen wanted to help the Hexi Army take down the eldest son, but because Xiyan was very strict in his precautions, he couldn't find an opportunity to give up.

It wasn't until today that he found an opportunity when Murong Hong died in battle, Murong Yong fainted, and Xiyan was in chaos.

When the sound of the third watch sounded outside, Huan Zhen turned his head slightly, opened his eyes, and glanced at everyone by the faint moonlight outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone knows that the enemy is stubbornly resisting, and the offensive of the army is not going well."

"I decided to take the initiative and help Dadu protect the eldest son."

Speaking of this, Huan Zhen smiled and said, "Right now, Murong Yong has fainted, and the enemy is panicking, it's time for us to show our skills." ”

"I wonder what the captain's plan is?"

"The plan is very simple, when the time is ripe, we will set fire to the city first, and once the enemy is in chaos, we will take the opportunity to capture the west gate, open it and welcome the army into the city."

"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"No, everything is as the captain instructs."

"Good! I'll write a letter to the Dadu Protector and ask the army outside the city to cooperate. ”

……

Wei Shuo outside the city soon received Huan Zhen's secret letter, and he immediately summoned everyone to discuss.

Wei Shuo held the secret letter and smiled at Zhang Teng, Cui Hao, and Jiang Ji: "I didn't expect Murong Hong's death to make Murong Yong vomit blood and faint, God really help me!" ”

"Lord, since the people in the city are panicking right now, it is better to take the opportunity to launch an offensive and take down the eldest son in one fell swoop."

"As for Huan Zhen's plan to seize the door, it's too risky, it's better to give up."

"What do you think of Tinggang's meaning?" Regarding Jiang Ji's suggestion, Wei Shuo did not take it lightly.

Cui Hao groaned and said: "Judging from the effect of today's siege, the defenders in the city are quite tenacious, causing great casualties to the army. ”

"Although Murong Yong fainted, causing panic in the people of Xiyan, don't forget that there are also Murong Liang and Li Xian."

"One of these two is the prince of Xiyan, and the other is Murong Yong's confidant, as long as they don't mess with themselves, the minister thinks that there will be no major turmoil in a short period of time."

"If a large army attacks the city and presses forward step by step, although it may cause the enemy to collapse, it is also possible to make the enemy abandon his old suspicions in danger."

"In that case, it is better to let go and slow down the offensive appropriately, so as to prompt the enemy to have civil strife."

"What? Bo Yuan agrees with the Huan Zhen plan? ”

"Well, none of us know what the situation is in the city right now."

"On the contrary, Huan Zhen has infiltrated his eldest son for several months, and he has already figured out everything in the city."

"He has proposed a plan to seize the door, which shows that this plan is very feasible."

"Well, that makes sense!"

……

At night, Li Xian sat alone at home and drank stuffy wine, and today's battle really poured a basin of cold water on him.

There were more than 6,000 casualties before and after, which made him feel distressed.

But what made him even more pessimistic was that Murong Yong fainted in public because of the death of his son Murong Hong, causing panic in the city.

At present, Li Xian no longer has confidence in keeping his eldest son, so he can only take one step at a time and obey the destiny of heaven.

At this time, an attendant came to the Li Mansion.

"Lord Li, the king invites you to enter the palace to discuss matters."

"Is the king back to normal?" Li Xian asked in surprise.

"That's right! The king had already woken up, and as soon as he woke up, he summoned Lord Li and the prince into the palace to discuss matters. ”

When Li Xian followed the chamberlain to the palace, the hall was already full of people, and everyone whispered, not knowing what to discuss.

Murong Yong sat on the top seat, his face was gloomy as water, and he didn't say a word.

The death of his son was unbearable for him, but after all, he was the head of a country, and the safety of one person was at stake for the survival of the country.

Therefore, as soon as he came to his senses, he immediately summoned everyone into the palace, and forced his body to announce to everyone that he was fine.

Li Xian walked into the main hall and bowed, "Weichen see the king." ”

Murong Yong waved his hand and said, "Just wait for Li Qing." ”

When Li Xian walked to the side and stood still, Murong Yong slowly swept over everyone with a stern look, and everyone immediately held their breath.

Seemingly satisfied with his prestige, Murong Yong then began to continue to encourage everyone to defend it.

"Today's battle, although it suffered heavy losses, also caused heavy casualties to the Hexi army."

"The widow believes that as long as we persevere, we will be able to defeat the Hexi army."

"Li Qing, you and the prince will be responsible for defending the city next, can you be sure to block the Hexi army?"

"My lord, please forgive me for not being able to give an edict."

Seeing Li Xian's blatant refusal of the king's order, Murong Yong's face changed.

He glanced at Li Xian with a gloomy gaze, and said with a murderous face: "What? Is Li Qing timid and afraid? Or do you have a ghost in your heart? ”

Li Xian ignored Murong Yong's sneer, and continued to say slowly: "Not long ago, the king fainted in public, causing panic in the city. ”

"Now everyone in the city is spreading rumors that the king has unfortunately died."

"At this critical moment, when the king should appear to calm people's hearts, how can he hide in the palace and give all his power to the ministers and the prince?"

Li Xian's words scared Murong Yong into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly changed his appearance: "Oh, the widow has misunderstood the Qing family!" ”
