"Lord Wei. Can this strategy really be hidden from Gao Changgong? In the Pingyang City Assassin Mansion, Yu Yi frowned deeply and asked very worriedly.

"Now the city is full of wind and rain, the rumors are intensifying, and the food and grass materials in the city can't last much time, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be. Rather than sit back and wait, it is better to break out of the city and abandon the city, so that we can preserve our strength as much as possible. ”

Wei Xiaokuan's face was gloomy, and he was helpless against the current predicament. It is true that Wei Xiaokuan can use strong means to control rumors and collect grain and grass from the people in the city, but this can only quench thirst, not only will it not help, but it may also make Pingyang City break faster, and his own losses will be even heavier.

Now Gao Changgong has not besieged the city, if the Zhou army abandons the city and retreats without a fight, the reputation will be damaged, but the loss will be minimized, and the most important thing is that Yuwen Yong can be sent back to Chang'an safely.

Even if the 50,000 troops in Pingyang City were wiped out, it would not allow Yuwen Yong to make the slightest mistake, which was the supreme prerequisite for Wei Xiaokuan to make any decision.

Liang Shiyan nodded heavily, and said with a solemn expression, "What Lord Wei said is very true, and the lower officials think the same. Xiaguan is the assassin of Jinzhou, and he is willing to stay as the queen of the two generals, hoping that the two can send the emperor to Chang'an safely! ”

"No!" Before Liang Shiyan's words fell, Wei Xiaokuan categorically vetoed it, frowning and said: "Yesterday, I promised in front of Your Majesty that the city is in the people, the city is ruined, and the people are dead, and I should take on the task of blocking the enemy after the break!" ”

"Lord Wei's words are wrong, at this time, at that time. The cunning of the Qi people is beyond our expectations, and Pingyang will definitely be defeated. Your Excellency is the deputy marshal of the three armies, and now that the Holy Lord is unconscious, you must think about the lives of the 50,000 soldiers in the city, and you must not be rash! Liang Shiyan resolutely looked at Wei Xiaokuan and said in a deep voice.

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head resolutely and said: "If you don't believe in it, you can't stand up, it is precisely because I am the deputy marshal of the three armed forces that I have to think about my words, otherwise why should I be in the army?" Now that our army is panicked and morale is low, my staying after the break can greatly boost morale, and we have a better chance of winning when we break out of the Qi army's blockade! ”

"This ......"

Liang Shiyan was about to refute it, but a guard outside the house suddenly came to report: "Lord Wei, the emperor has an order, asking you and General Yu Liang to go to face the saint quickly!" ”

Wei Xiaokuan and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then glanced at each other, and their eyes suddenly burst into excitement and excitement. At this stormy moment, it is obviously a good thing for Yu Wenyong to wake up.

"Let's go!"

Saying that, Wei Xiaokuan rushed out of the bento first, and rushed towards the courtyard where Yuwen Yong was cultivating. Liang Shiyan and Yu Yi were not lazy, and they sped up their pace and followed behind Wei Xiaokuan.

……

"Weichen Wei Xiaokuan (Yu Yi, Liang Shiyan) See Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a speedy well!"

Although he was prepared in his heart, when Yu Yi saw Yu Wenyong lying and putting on, he was still a little shocked in his heart. The originally tall and mighty emperor has aged a lot in just a few days, his cheekbones are high, and his face is covered with a layer of blue and gray. The carbon basin in the room burned red, but Yu Wenyong was covered with two thick quilts.

"Get up?"

Hearing the sound, Yu Wenyong opened his tired eyes, his originally bright eyes were a little gray at this time, and with a faint sense of death, his voice was even weaker, no longer as majestic and heavy as before.

"Yu Yi? You're back? Ahem! At this time, Yu Wenyong discovered Yu Yi's existence, his dim eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with some surprise. It's just that under the excitement, Yu Wenyong couldn't help but be a little short of breath and coughed lightly.

Yu Yi knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said with shame: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister Yu Yi has a negative grace, I hope Your Majesty will give you sin!" ”

"I'm defeated, Da Zhou is defeated!" Yu Wenyong shook his head slightly, a touch of pain flashed in his eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Go back, everything will wait until you return to Chang'an!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wei Xiaokuan and the three of them were shocked, and looked at Yu Wenyong in surprise.

"I know it, Pingyang is difficult to preserve, withdraw the army!" Yuwen Yong gasped a few times and rested a little before he spoke again: "Wei Aiqing, everything is due to you, don't let too many Great Zhou warriors bury their bones in other places!" ”

Yu Wenyong's voice was full of Xiao Suo and twilight, but it was extremely shocking in the ears of Wei Xiaokuan. The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the worry and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best!" Wei Xiaokuan agreed, and then bowed with Liang Shiyan and Yu Yi to leave.

……

The winter sun always can't wait to fall down on the west mountain, very stingy with its warmth and light, the time is still early, the sky will darken, the north wind seems to be more and more cold, the cold air is raging on the earth, and the insolent cries are spread all over the four fields.

However, in the Qi State military camp outside Pingyang City, the guards of the arrow tower sentry were as straight as a pine, not moving at all, allowing the cold wind to forge the dark and thin cheeks more and more resolute and fierce.

In the center of the camp, hundreds of large iron pots burned red under the blazing fire, and in the pot was boiling broth, the aroma of meat and cooking smoke were blown away by the cold wind, and it was spread far away, but the soldiers who practiced in the camp were solemn and forgetful, and they did not seem to be attracted by the rich aroma of meat at all, and the loud slogans shook the mountain, and it contained a strange power, which made people's blood boil when they heard it, and their mood was agitated, even if they were in the cold wind, they were fearless.

When the command to "open the meal" was given, the soldiers in training did not disperse in a hurry, and their nervous and serious expressions did not relax for a moment. Their every move was very strict and standard, and the barracks, which stretched for several miles, were unexpectedly orderly and not a little chaotic.

Happy that the food of his army is undoubtedly the best in the world, in this chaotic era, it is already a kind of happiness to be able to fill the stomach, not to mention being able to open meat, eat meat every three or five times, and drink soup in a big bowl.

Regarding this point, Gao Changgong originally did not agree with the almost ruined approach of being happy. Although he cherished his soldiers, he did not have much money to support the army.

If a person doesn't eat meat, how can he have strength, let alone a soldier with a bloody knife. They worked hard for me, and I should do everything I could to make their lives better.

Warriors can endure cruel conditions, endure loneliness, and even disregard for their own lives, but this is because they must do so to protect the people or things they cherish. For these, he is happy and deeply understands, so the soldiers under his command are several times higher than other places in terms of treatment and status, or even dozens of times.

But it would have been impossible for him to do so without the support of the huge wealth he had created. However, it was precisely because of his sincere concern for the soldiers and his sincere respect for them that he was able to convince and love everyone at the age of sixteen.

……

"Uhhh

The assembly call sounded, and all the soldiers stopped what they were doing and assembled in front of the school yard as quickly as possible.

There are 10,000 people, boundless, when 50,000 fierce warriors stand neatly and solemnly in front of them, the evil spirit of the sky is rushing to the face, Rao is happy to kill people like hemp, after life and death, I can't help but sigh in my heart that I am small.

"Brothers have worked hard!" With a warm smile on his face, he said loudly, and Qing Yue's voice penetrated the cold wind and clearly reached the ears of every soldier.

"Defend the family and the country, never give up!"

Everyone roared in unison, the rolling sound shook the sky, fierce and uncasting, and the domineering momentum seemed to make the cold wind tremble, and there was a momentary pause.

When everyone cheered down, the smile on the happy face was closed, and his face suddenly became extremely serious, and he glanced at everyone majestically, and said happily: "Brothers, we have been in Jinzhou for three days, and the boring waiting must have made you impatient, and you are eager for the arrival of war to rescue Pingyang, which fell into the hands of the Zhou people. ”

After a pause, his happy eyes suddenly shot out of a clear light, and he shouted: "Tonight, the great battle is approaching, and the opportunity to regain the lost territory will come, tell me, are your spirits sufficient?" ”

"Yes!"

"Have your steel knives been polished?!"

"Yes—"

"Victory! Win!! Win!!! ”

The blood in the body of the 50,000-strong army boiled in an instant, and the tidal shouts were like a landslide and tsunami, causing the heavens and the earth to change color and the earth to shake. Everyone's eyes were covered with a faint layer of blood, and the fierce and murderous momentum on their bodies soared, condensing into a towering mountain of nothingness, thick and depressing, making people awe-inspiring.

Looking at the 50,000 soldiers in the audience who were excited and murderous, he was shocked and happy in his heart, and at the same time, there was also a wave of pride and ambition in his heart, and the blood in his body was also boiling, and the high fighting spirit and murderous aura were fused and dispersed, making him look more and more majestic and domineering, just like a domineering god of war.

A good man is determined in all directions, and the husband should ride the horse and raise the sword, gallop the world, even if he dies on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is not in vain.

Although he was happy and disgusted with killing from the bottom of his heart, his blood belonging to the brave man was destined to stand on the cusp of the wind for the rest of his life, constantly fighting in the sky, surpassing the limit, and fighting endlessly.

When everyone's shouting stopped, he laughed happily and said: "All brothers are good, and they are indeed the best warriors in the empire, and they are real heroes." With all of you, no matter how strong the enemy is, we can also fight and win and protect our homeland and relatives from bullying! ”

Speaking of this, the smile on his happy face completely disappeared, and he became more pious and solemn than ever before, and said in a low but resolute voice: "I, the prince of Beiping County, am happy and willing to defend the country with you, and swear to die!" ”

"Defend the family and defend the country, swear to death!"

"Live and die together, live and die together!"

The 50,000 Qi army exploded like a lit powder keg, but what exploded was their passion and blood, killing intent and fighting spirit. All of them roared with all their might, expressing the burning emotions and high fighting spirit in their chests to their generals.
