"Please punish the county guard!" Kong Yi returned to the rear in frustration, and he surrendered his hand to plead guilty, "It was all Yi Zhong's plan that caused our army to lose and retreat." ”

County Shou Chen Tong waved his hand, and he said solemnly: "How to punish it will be said when the city is broken." After a pause, he continued: "Our army has lost all the ladders, hey, it seems that the only way to withdraw today is to withdraw our troops. ”

"What the county guard said is extremely true, our army's siege of the city has been blocked, morale is low, and it is not appropriate to attack again today." The county supervisor Ping also echoed the road from the side.

"Order, collect the troops and return to the camp!" Chen Tong reluctantly ordered.

The entire Qin army came in a mighty way and left in despair. Seeing this, Pei Jun cheered again. On the first day of the siege, the Pei army retreated with zero casualties, and after a rough calculation, the Qin army lost a total of about 800 people. Eight hundred people is already a very high percentage, if it weren't for pouring fuel, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to stop the Qin army.

"Lord, the Qin army has retreated!" Cao Shen showed joy, and he said with admiration.

Liu Yuan nodded, and he commanded in a deep voice: "The Qin army is temporarily defeated and retreats, and our Pei army cannot relax. Order the cavalry to go out of the city to patrol, and in addition, you will lead the troops to clean up the battlefield, and the arrows and boulders must be recovered, and if you can, you will order someone to cut down the giant trees. Okay, let's go. ”

"No!" Cao Shen knew that time was pressing, so he hurried down the city tower, and then ordered someone to open the city gate and lead the troops out of the city.

The news of Pei's retreat from the enemy immediately spread in Pei County, and the worried people were relieved again. Although they did not participate in the battle, they still heard the tragic voices of the Qin army outside the city clearly. This battle is completely outwitted, Liu Yuan is flexible in his strategy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is cunning.

Back at the county office, Xiao He also came with a smile, he was very glad that he had elected Liu Yuan as the lord at the beginning, and now it seems that he is also quite wise. "Hehe, lord, I'm afraid this battle is going to make the Qin army suffer and can't talk about it."

"Xiao County is too early to be happy." Liu Yuan shook his head slightly, and he said with a sad face: "To have this miraculous effect, it all depends on pouring oil." However, now that the beast oil has been exhausted, when the Qin army regroupes, it will be a bloody battle. ”

When Xiao He heard this, he also restrained his smile, he naturally understood the worry in Liu Yuan's words. After all, the Pei army only has more than 2,000 soldiers, and if one person dies, it will be one point weaker. Xiao He frowned and said: "My lord, if you don't collect animal oil from the people of Pei County, especially the three major families, you will definitely be able to collect a lot." ”

"Yes, too!" Liu Yuan's head agreed, at a critical moment, he naturally would not be hypocritical.

"Well, let's arrange it." Xiao He hurriedly left.

After Lu Pheasant in the backyard learned that Liu Yuan had returned, she personally served the food and delivered it to the lobby. Liu Yuan was thinking deeply, and Lu Pheasant said softly: "Husband, let's eat first." ”

Liu Yuan smiled, he took the bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of rice porridge, and said, "I still know my appetite, this rice porridge is very fragrant." ”

"The husband works hard to resist the enemy, and the concubine can only take care of the family and share the worries for the king." Lu Pheasant's eyes lit up slightly, and he replied softly.

Lu Pheasant is so virtuous, Liu Yuan can also rest assured.

Xiao He found the three elders of Pei County, and after he told him about the levy of animal oil, he instructed: "This matter will be handed over to the three elders, such a major matter is related to the success or failure of defending the city, no matter what, the three elders must do it carefully." ”

"No! I'll get it. Now that the Qin army is attacking the city, the people of Pei County are naturally with Pei Gong. The three elders knew that the situation was urgent, and after hearing the order, the three of them scattered and made their own arrangements.

As for the three major families of Yong, Zhao, and Sun, Xiao He visited in person. The elder of the Yong family was very happy, and immediately ordered someone to collect and hand over the animal oil in the clan. However, Xiao He's trip to the Zhao family was blocked, and Zhao Peng refused in a deep voice: "It's not that my Zhao family is unwilling to hand over the animal oil, but there are really not many in the clan, and I ask Xiao County Cheng to forgive me." ”

Hearing this, Xiao He shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, this Zhao family was obviously selfish, Xiao He sneered and said, "What a Zhao family." ”

Leaving the Zhao family, Xiao He went to the Sun family again, but the oil was also collected to no avail. Xiao He smelled something strange, and then thought of Liu Fang's report to him last night about the secret discussion between the elders of the Sun and Zhao families, Xiao He was even more suspicious.

Zhao family, Sun Lao visited again. Seeing Zhao Peng, Sun Lao said worriedly: "I didn't expect the county guard to be defeated today, how can this be good?" ”

"Sun Lao don't have to worry, hehe, the county guard is blocked, isn't it the right time for you and me?" Zhao Peng smiled and seemed to be confident.

"What do you mean?" Sun Lao asked.

Zhao Peng explained: "The siege of the city is blocked, and you and I will take the opportunity to open the city gate tomorrow, and the county guard will not remember our work?" ”

"Yes, too!" Sun Lao was stunned, he clapped his hands and admired, "It's still Zhao Lao who is resourceful." ”

"Haha, okay, Sun Lao should hurry back home and arrange, this matter will be done tomorrow!" Zhao Peng urged, he had made up his mind in his heart, "You and my two families in the Pei Army still need to work together to help." ”

Sun Lao nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I will arrange it myself." ”

Zhao Peng sent away the elder of the Sun family, and he also began to arrange, the blades buried in the backyard of the Zhao family have been excavated, and at the same time, in order to prevent leakage of news, he has strictly ordered no one to go out without permission.

In the evening, Xiao He also handed over the collected animal oil to Pei Jun, but the result was not ideal. There is very little animal oil in the homes of ordinary people, only the Yong family is not bad. Back at the county office, after Xiao He told him what he had met today, Liu Yuan frowned, and he said in a low voice: "This Zhao and Sun families are separated from Germany, I'm afraid they have a plan." ”

"The lord's concern is not unreasonable." Xiao He also thinks so.

"My lord, it's not good." Liu Fangxing walked in in a hurry, and he said anxiously: "The news has just come from the Lu Mansion that the Sun and Zhao families are ready to take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate tomorrow and receive the Qin army into the city. ”

"What?" Xiao He was shocked, "My lord, the Sun and Zhao families are so bold, it's unforgivable." ”

Liu Yuan looked at Liu Fang and asked, "Is the news from the Lu Mansion reliable?" ”

"Mrs. Lu personally told Yu Fang that it should be true. Hearing that it was Taigong Lu who had bribed the servants of the Sun family, he found out the news. Liu Fang nodded, he believed that Mrs. Lu would not lie.

"Hmm!" Liu Yuan's eyes gradually became cold, there were Qin troops outside, there were big clans inside, and Pei County was in constant crisis, so he suddenly decided: "Liu Fang, quickly order Xiahou Ying, Fan Peijun's middle grandson, and the children of the Zhao family, all of them are bound and detained. Then, he said to Xiao He: "Xiao Xiancheng, quickly lead the officials to round up these two families." ”

"No!"

Thank you for my empire, my time and Chen Han's tip!!
