Lao Yu stood next to Hong Xuanjiao. Hong Xuanjiao's murmuring is very clear.

He sighed and said helplessly: "Xiao Wangniang, we are hiding in the mountains and occupy a favorable position, which has the advantage of making it difficult for Li Zhen to attack, but it also has great disadvantages, even if Li Zhen does not attack, we are also facing great danger." ”

"What danger?" Hong Xuanjiao immediately asked.

Lao Yu explained: "First of all, all the soldiers waded twice, their shoes and socks were covered with mud, their bodies were wet, there was no dry place, and it was easy to catch the wind and cold. Secondly, the food that the soldiers carried with them was gone, and we could not get food supplies in the mountains, which was a big problem. Finally, the problem of drinking water for the soldiers. The water needs of more than 4,000 soldiers cannot be solved by one or two buckets, and there must be a supply of rivers and lakes to satisfy so many of us. ”

"Shhh Hiss! ”

Hong Xuanjiao gasped, and suddenly felt embarrassed again.

It's hard to go down the mountain now, and it's hard to stay on the mountain.

No matter what you do, it is not easy and you have encountered great problems.

Hong Xuanjiao thought for a moment, looked at Lao Yu, with a strong expectation in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "General Yu, you are a wise man in the army, calm in case of trouble, and can deal with the situation calmly. If you survive the catastrophe this time, this official will recommend you to the king of the east. ”

When the generals of Dongyang Town and Longtan Town heard this, their eyes immediately turned red.

Lao Yu said: "Thank you Xiao Wangniang!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao smiled and ordered: "General Yu, I now authorize you to give you full authority to take over the soldiers in the army." Your orders are my orders, and if a disobedient soldier appears, he will be cut down first, and he will not have to report everything to me. Now that you are in charge of the overall situation, I hope that you can take everyone through this difficult time. ”

Lao Yu nodded, turned to look at the guards of Dongyang Town and Longtan Town, and said, "Two, now it's time for you to make a move, you must work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

The two of them knew the seriousness of the matter, and they both nodded solemnly.

Lao Yu said in a deep voice: "Jiang Hong listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

The guard of Longtan Town responded loudly, he was Jiang Hong.

Lao Yu instructed: "Jiang Hong organized the soldiers to make a fire, lit a fire on the mountain, and found tree branches, branches, etc., and asked all the soldiers to take off their clothes and dry." Taking advantage of the fact that it is daytime and the weather is still relatively hot, taking off your clothes and pants will not have much effect, so hurry up and dry your clothes. If it's at night, it's cool, and it's not easy to do at that time. This must be done well, and this is the key to whether we can persevere. ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Hong replied loudly and turned around.

Lao Yu looked at Hong Xuanjiao again and said respectfully: "The clothes on your body are also soaked, and you must change them." You don't have to do anything, though. Now you find a hidden place and wait for a while, after the soldiers' clothes are dried, I will find a hurry up clothes for Xiao Wangniang to wear, and then you take out your own clothes to dry, what does Xiao Wangniang think? ”

"Good!"

Hong Xuanjiao glanced at Lao Yu gratefully and nodded in response.

Lao Yu's eyes looked at the guards of Dongyang Town again, and said, "Gao Chuan, you lead a thousand soldiers to search for water sources in the mountains and forests, look for wild vegetables, and hunt animals in the mountains, etc., and prepare things to eat at noon and night." Everything that can be eaten will be brought back, and I will arrange it uniformly, and we can't eat at will, otherwise we won't have enough food. ”

Gao Chuan nodded heavily, not daring to disobey in the slightest. Now Lao Yu is his savior, and Lao Yu's orders are more important than the holy decree at this time.

The soldiers began to move and prepare for what was next.

……

Lower Shu Town, on the city tower.

Wang Xun and his master had already discovered Li Zhen's movements outside the city, but Wang Xun had nothing to do. He has no generals to use, no soldiers to deploy, and it is already good to be able to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city. In fact, after Li Zhen led the soldiers to leave, Wang Xundu had already sent six groups of scouts in a row, all of them to deliver news.

It's a pity that all the scouts who left were lost in the sea, and there was no news at all.

The master stood beside him and said helplessly: "My lord, Li Zhen has been planning for this battle for a long time, and he has planned and prepared, and it is normal that we have no way to deal with it." ”

Wang Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Hong Xuanjiao led the army back to rescue Xia Shu Town, and he will definitely face danger. It's just that now I don't know where Hong Xuanjiao has been, what is the situation? ”

The master spread out his hands and said helplessly: "None of the spies we sent out have returned, which proves that there are still Li Zhen's soldiers outside the city. They are just spies targeting us, and they don't want us to get the latest news, and they don't want us to pass on the news of Xia Shu Town. ”

Wang Xun looked up into the distance, looked at the place where Li Zhen's army had been stationed, and fell into silence.

Suddenly, Wang Xun's eyes widened.

To the southwest of Xiashu Town, a black line appeared. Seeing this, Wang Xun grabbed the master's shoulder and said, "Look, what is that?" "Because the distance between the two sides is too far, they can't see the situation in the distance clearly.

The master could only stare wide-eyed, waiting for the distance to close.

After a short time, you can already see the galloping army.

"It's the King of the East, it's the army of the King of the East!"

Among the soldiers guarding the city next to him, a soldier with excellent eyesight saw Yang Xiuqing's banner and shouted excitedly. Immediately, the soldiers on the city tower were excited, shouting and cheering loudly.

Wang Xun said: "Master, we are saved. ”

The master nodded and said, "To be exact, Hong Xuanjiao is saved, and the adults should deal with the East King carefully." ”

Wang Xun rolled his eyes, shook his spirit, and went down to the city tower to greet him. In a short time, more than 10,000 troops led by Yang Xiuqing have arrived in the city. However, Yang Xiuqing did not enter the city with soldiers, and Wang Xun had already come to Yang Xiuqing with a county official, and bowed his hand and said: "The lower official ordered Wang Xun of Shu Town and County to meet the king of the east!" ”

Yang Xiuqing bowed slightly, waved his hand and said: "This king got the news that Li Zhen attacked Longtan Town, and it happened that Xiao Wangniang was also in Longtan Town, what is the situation?" ”

Wang Xun said: "Back to the East King, the situation has changed. Li Zhen no longer attacked Longtan Town, but attacked Xiashu Town. When Li Zhen attacked Longtan Town, Xiao Wangniang asked for rescue, and the lower officials transferred all the 4,000 defenders in the city to Longtan Town, and the same was true of the neighboring Dongyang Town, and they all sent a large army to rescue. ”

Yang Xiuqing hummed and said yes.

Wang Xun continued: "When the defenders of our three towns gathered in Longtan Town, Li Zhen suddenly made a detour and quietly besieged Xia Shu Town, and then sent out the news to Xiao Wangniang. Because the news was cut off, the lower officials didn't know what Xiao Wangniang's situation was for the time being, so he asked the prince to punish him. Wang Xun had a helpless look on his face, even if Yang Xiuqing wanted to punish him, he could only accept it.

After Yang Xiuqing heard this, he ignored Wang Xun and ordered the soldiers to inquire about the news.

It didn't take long for the soldiers who had found out the news to return.

The soldier looked anxious and said, "Lord Wang, the situation is very bad. The soldiers led by Xiao Wangniang set out from Longtan and were ambushed by Li Zhen on the way, suffering heavy casualties. Now, Xiao Wangniang and her soldiers are trapped on a mountain in the territory of Xia Shu Town. Li Zhen's army was blocked at the bottom of the mountain, preventing Xiao Wangniang from escaping. ”

"Besiege but not attack, good intentions!"

Yang Xiuqing's heart flashed with all kinds of thoughts, and she guessed Li Zhen's thoughts.
