"Mr. Gongyou, politeness or something is exempt, please say it directly if you have something to say." Tao Ying yawned sleepily, and urged unceremoniously: "The night is dark, tomorrow our army depends on the weather conditions, maybe we will launch an attack on Yinling, I have to hurry up and rest, otherwise I will not be in good spirits when I command the siege tomorrow." ”

Tao Ying's tone and attitude made Sun Gan a little nervous and surprised, before leaving, Sun Qian and Uncle Liu Huang carefully analyzed and guessed Tao Ying's reaction, and felt that with Tao Ying's insidious and cunning surname and the current situation, there are two most likely reactions, one is to coax, using all kinds of rhetoric and various promises to coax Liu Beijun to do it, and give Xiao Yuan Sangong a fatal blow from the inside; Either it is coercion and temptation, using the current strength of the Xuzhou army to intimidate and coerce, forcing Liu Beijun to make a choice between Xiao Yuan Sangong and Tao Ying; Of course, it is also possible that Tao Ying will turn his face directly, but this may not have a big surname.

Tao Ying's current attitude is the only attitude that surprises Uncle Liu Huang and Sun Gan, he is not intimate or enthusiastic about Sun Gan's visit, he does not refuse to receive him, and he seems to pay little attention to Liu Beijun's initiative to approach him again, as if there are not many allies such as Liu Beijun, and there are many allies without Liu Beijun. However, the more this is the case, Sun Gan, who was quite successful before, was a little weak-hearted, and replied very cautiously: "Since the envoy is busy with military affairs, the little envoy will get straight to the point, my lord Xuande Gong sent a small envoy to visit the monarch this time, because Yuan Shu has repeatedly asked our lord to lead the army to cross the river to rescue Yinling, and my lord can't shirk it, in order to facilitate future actions, and for the sake of the alliance plan of the two armies, so I want to make an agreement with the envoy to ......." ”

"What are you doing with the fat water? Looking for death?! Tao Ying interrupted Sun Qian's words, and said angrily: "The last time I released water, Yuan Shu Pifu may have been suspicious, this time your team was sent to death after fat water, and I also deliberately released water again, no matter how stupid Yuan Shu Pifu is, he will see that it is wrong, right?" When the time comes, the nearly 70,000 troops inside and outside Yuan Shu Pifu Shouchun City will work together, and they will be able to pile up your rabble to death! ”

Sun Qian was a little stammered, he never dreamed that Tao Ying would give such an answer, Tao Ying waved his hand lazily and said: "Go back and tell your father-in-law, just say that you don't need to act anymore, what he should do now is to stay on the west bank of Feishui honestly." As long as your team stays under Shouchun City, Yuan Shupifu will never dare to dispatch the Shouchun defenders to rescue Yinling, so as long as your team stays on the west bank of Feishui honestly now, and indirectly restrains Yuan Shupifu's Shouchun team for me, even if you have fulfilled the covenant with our army. ”

"I can't imagine that the envoy is so considerate and kind to my lord, and the envoy's request is really so simple?" Sun Qian was so surprised that he couldn't believe Tao Ying's words.

Tao Ying nodded, and said a little impatiently: "I, Tao Ying, have made an alliance with others, when will injustice pass first?" Tell Liu Xuande and tell him to find a way to deal with Yuan Shu for a while, and when I pull out the nail of Yinling, the main team will free up their hands, and then we will discuss how to join forces to take the Feishui Defense Line and Shouchun City. ”

Sun Qian was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the table and said: "Let the king be high and bright, and the Qian's admiration is so great, please rest assured, Qian will definitely tell the truth of the envoy's original words to my lord, and my lord's father will definitely fulfill the covenant, and contain Yuan Shu's Shouchun team for the envoy, so that the envoy can attack Yinling City with peace of mind." ”

"Very well, then it's a matter of words." Tao Ying nodded, yawned again, and said, "By the way, remind your army, be prepared to be on guard, and be careful that Yuan Shupifu suddenly turns his face." Well, send-off. ”

Several guards came up to invite Sun Gan to leave, and Sun Gan didn't dare to entangle, so he always said goodbye, but when he walked to the door of the big tent, Sun Gan turned around again and asked cautiously: "Envoy, there is a sentence that may be very rude, but the little envoy still wants to ask the envoy - the envoy is so kind of care to our army, don't you want my lord to show a little more sincerity of cooperation?" Further deepen the alliance and friendship between your and our armies? ”

"Don't be that troublesome." Tao Ying replied confidently: "I don't believe in Xuande Gong's personality, but I believe in Xuande Gong's cleverness, with Xuande Gong's cleverness, I must be able to see what kind of fate he will have in the future if he plays tricks now." ”

"My father-in-law must be able to see what will happen in the future if he plays tricks now? Is Tao Ying's thief intimidating? Our army is stationed west of Feishui, and it can be retreated or defended, what can Tao Ying thieves do to our army? ”

With a stomach full of doubts, Sun Gan honestly returned to Liu Beijun's camp to hand over the order, and Sun Gan's front foot just came out of the big tent, and the sleepiness on Tao Ying's face was immediately swept away, and two grim lights also shot out of his half-closed and half-open triangular eyes, and he sneered in a low voice: "I want to be a bitch and want to set up an archway, such a superb technical move, and you big-eared thief can play well in front of me?" Since you're a bitch in front of me, you have to be a bitch to the end! ”

……………………

Sun Gan is good at diplomacy, and he is a mess in terms of military affairs and strategy, Uncle Liu Huang is ordinary in military affairs, but he is a genius in strategy, so when Sun Gan brought Tao Ying's words to Uncle Liu Huang as they were, Uncle Liu Huang was pleased that Tao Ying's conditions were unexpectedly relaxed, and then quickly calmed down and began to think about an important question - Tao Ying, who has always been known for his devotion and viciousness, why did he treat his army so favorably? Don't promise to treat yourself like this?

Maybe it was mediocrity disturbing himself, and after racking his brains for a long time, Uncle Liu Huang suddenly considered a possibility, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his body, and he suddenly exclaimed in his heart, "Shouchun City!" How did I forget this place of death under Shouchun City! If Tao Ying's thief is determined to kill me, he doesn't need to let me die in Feishui at all, as long as he passes Feishui, he can still let me die without a place to be buried under Shouchun City! Yuan Shupifu didn't trust me in the first place, and now I refuse to send troops to rescue Yinling, and I have already been greatly convicted, when Tao Ying's little thief soldiers came to the city, how could Yuan Shupifu let me return to Shouchun City? How could you not smile and watch Tao Ying's thief kill me?! ”

Suddenly thought of the possible death place under Shouchun City, and then carefully studied the general surrounding terrain, Liu Huangshu, who was experienced in escaping for his life on the battlefield, was inevitably even more frightened, because this battlefield under Shouchun City was indeed far more dangerous than the east bank of Feishui, the north was the surging Huaishui that was gradually encroached and controlled by the Xuzhou Naval Division, the south was the endless Shaobi Lake, and the west was a large river with a greater flow than Feishui, which was actually more difficult to cross than Feishui, and the only reliable place to defend Shouchun City was firmly controlled by the descendants of Xiao Yuan Sangong's army. Don't say that your own team is stationed in the city, even if it is difficult to get close!

"My lord." It was at this point that Liu Beijun's sentry officer was allowed by the guards to enter the big tent and reported to Uncle Liu Huang who knelt down on one knee and reported: "Lord Qiqi, a scout team under the command of the villain, during the inspection of the Huai River last night, found that there were more than ten unknown speedboat teams going upriver at night and going to the direction of Yingshui, suspected to be merchant ships, but the ships are light and fast, and not very like a merchant ship carrying goods. ”

"Heading in the direction of Yingshui? It's going to the mouth of the drain, right? A bunch of idiots! Uncle Liu's face turned pale, and he immediately patted the case and yelled at the sentry officer: "Quick, immediately send someone to Shaobi Lake to investigate in detail how many unidentified boats there are!" Then go to Yicheng Wharf and carefully explore the Xuzhou sailors there, how many clippers are missing! ”

The sentry agent was taken aback by Uncle Liu's attitude, and hurriedly sang a promise, got up and quickly went out of the tent to make arrangements, but when the sentry agent just walked to the door of the big tent, Uncle Liu Huang stopped him again. After a little hesitation, Uncle Liu added: "It is not yet clear whether these ships were sent by the enemy, and in order not to shake the morale of the army, this matter must be kept secret and secretly investigated, so that my soldiers and soldiers must not know too much about it—especially not our ally Huainan Army." ”

……………………

At the same time, outside the city of Yinling, after basically destroying the wall buildings of the three gates of the east, west and north of Yinling City, he could not withstand the requirements of the generals to attack the city, and at the same time, in order to test the defensive strength of Yinling City, Tao Ying, who originally planned to slow down and launch the siege again, finally changed his mind and sent about 12,000 infantry to attack the city - of course, the vanguard was of course the new troops of Huainan, in addition, Tao Ying had to dispatch Xuzhou's siege ace Xiangyang artillery to provide cover, and personally went to the battlefield to command the siege, and observed the enemy situation by the wayto determine and analyze the time it takes to break the city.

This is the first orthodox siege hard battle since the Xuzhou army crossed the Huai, the difficulty is obviously higher than the previous Dangtu siege battle and the sneak attack Quyang battle that was not guarded by Qiaorui Town, in order not to lead to a decline in morale, Tao Ying adopted an unusually stable siege tactics, first concentrated Xiangyang artillery to suppress the defenders of the city, and then the long shield, sandbags and chariots stepped forward, and built temporary fortifications on the side of the moat, and the crossbowmen hid behind the fortifications and released arrows to suppress, and finally the siege weapons and infantry stepped forward, and at the same time launched an attack on the three gates of the east, west and north of Yinling, create psychological pressure that may break the city anywhere, and patiently look for opportunities to break the city while trying to attack various wall segments.

It was also at this time that the Yinling garrison Qiao Rui's expertise in defending was finally brought into full play, and in the case that the Tibetan army tower and the large city defense weapons had been basically destroyed by the Xiangyang cannon, Qiao Rui still took advantage of the condescending geographical advantage to give the Xuzhou army a head-on attack. From the beginning of the battle, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, sheep's head stones, ash bottles, and timber on the walls of the Yin Tomb never stopped falling; As soon as the siege ladders and ramming vehicles of the Xuzhou army approached the city wall, countless rocket dovetail torches fell on the city wall, as well as millstone with iron chains, which burned and smashed many of the siege weapons of the Xuzhou army; And once the Xuzhou army's climbing ladder leans on the city wall, there will be countless big trees up to hit it, and the flying ladder will never stop if it does not knock down the ladder, even if there are flying ladder soldiers climbing the city wall, to meet these flying ladder soldiers, it is also countless fast turning to defend the city flail, as well as a group of three knives, two guns and five people in a group of defenders, as a result, although the first wave of the Xuzhou army invested 2,000 troops, but not many soldiers were able to attack the city wall, let alone successfully occupy a city wall position, opening the way forward for the follow-up army, It only lasted for about an hour before it was forced to pay gold because all the siege ladders it was carrying were destroyed, and the first wave of siege troops also paid more than 200 casualties.

The first wave of attacks was basically ineffective, and the arrogant mentality of the generals of the Xuzhou army finally regained some balance because of the successive victories, even the veteran generals such as Zang Ba, Cao surnamed and Hou Cheng, who had experienced a hundred battles, put away their contempt, and began to understand that the repeatedly defeated general Qiao Rui was by no means as weak as fighting a field battle in defending the city, and Tao Ying, who had been vigilant about Qiao Rui's ability to defend the city, showed a smile instead, and smiled and said to the generals under his command with a solemn face: "Yinling City is not difficult to break, although Qiao Rui is difficult, but it is too conservative, and it is not difficult to break." ”

"Lord, Qiaorui has a good plan to defend the city, and has caused a lot of casualties to our army, why does the lord still say that he is conservative?" Lu Su asked suspiciously.

"Qiao Rui has some skills to defend the city, but it's a pity that he can't think of a way to deal with our thunderbolts." Tao Ying pointed to the city wall and said, "See? Our thunderbolts have not stopped firing since the beginning of the battle, and Qiao Rui is helpless against this, and does not have the courage to make a desperate bet, rushing out to destroy our thunderbolts, so they can only hide on the city wall and be beaten passively, and the soldiers are also very afraid of our thunderbolts, how can the morale last long? ”

The generals of Xuzhou either fixed their eyes and looked closely, or raised the original telescope to observe carefully, and found that this was indeed the case, the Xuzhou army could throw a thunderbolt of 400 steps in a position that the defenders could not reach at all, and smashed the giant stone bullets on the city wall endlessly, and the defenders on the city wall screamed from time to time to dodge, and the stone bullets landed in a piece of chaos, although the command flag under the bridge banner array kept waving, but said that nothing could be stopped, and there happened to be a stone projectile flying to the bridge banner array, although the result was smashed, but the bridge flag array was still scattered, You can vaguely hear Qiao Rui's hysterical roaring and scolding, which also provokes the Xuzhou soldiers who are making Xiangyang cannons to burst into laughter.

Seeing this scene, the generals of Xuzhou also agreed with Tao's analysis of the enemy's situation, and felt that if it went on for a long time, the morale of the defenders of Yinling would inevitably continue to decline, and the morale of the army would collapse completely sooner or later, and it would not be very difficult to break the city. At this time, Gao Shun, who has always been taciturn, also rarely stood up, and said: "The Lord is reasonable, in fact, our army has a huge advantage, that is, our army has completely destroyed the enemy's hidden soldier building, and the enemy army does not have a reliable hiding place and shooting concealment on the city wall, so it can only release arrows in the open air, and can only sleep on the city wall, which will not only consume a lot of physical strength and energy of the defenders, but also add difficulty to Qiao Rui's command and mobilization of the defending army. ”

"Yes, it will take a while, but just in time, I need to delay a little." Tao Ying smiled and said: "Just continue to fight like this, the number of troops invested in each siege is between two thousand and three thousand, and there is no need to send additional troops if you don't find a flaw, let the soldiers take turns to go into battle, and practice siege tactics in actual combat, including when Tu and Yicheng's teams are also transferred in rotation to exercise, Gao Shun, Xu Chu and Xu Sheng take turns to lead the reserve team to listen to it, and protect the thunderbolt car formation." The generals of Xuzhou sang a promise, and then the war drums sounded, and the second wave of the siege team of the Xuzhou army was still 2,000 people shouting up again, and the earth-shattering sound of fighting soon sounded again on the city wall of Yinling.

Like Gao Shun's analysis, when the upper building of the city wall was basically destroyed by the Xiangyang cannon, no matter how well the bridge was defended, it was very difficult, because the city tower on the city wall was not only a place where the soldiers defending the city could rest with a little peace of mind, but also a command platform for the commander to command the overall situation condescendingly, and it was also the most important bow and arrow shooting stronghold. There is no city tower, the banner of the bridge is the live target of the Xiangyang cannon, and it is impossible to observe and command the overall situation in the crowd, and it is naturally very difficult to command and mobilize the troops in time, and at the same time, the bow and arrow level of the Yinling defenders has also been greatly reduced, and the archers have no reliable hiding place to release arrows with peace of mind, so they can only stand on the city wall in the open air and shoot at the Xuzhou army, so that the condescending advantage of the defenders has naturally been weakened a lot.

Because of this, the defenders of Yinling fought definitely not as easily as they looked in the defense of the city, in addition to the rain of arrows falling all the time, there was a giant stone bullet weighing more than 300 catties, one could not dodge, the light word was broken and fractured, and the heavy word was simply crushed bones, or directly smashed into meat sauce. At the same time, the soldiers of the Xuzhou army attacked very fiercely, the new soldiers both coveted Tao should open a heavy reward for breaking the city, and were afraid of the devil of the warlord behind him, when the charge was very desperate, on the first day of the siege, the large ladder car of the Xuzhou army leaned on the city wall six or seven times, hundreds of Xuzhou soldiers howled and rushed to the city wall, although the bridge sent out the reserve team in time and splashed the fire oil at any cost, and finally forced the Xuzhou soldiers down the city wall and burned the siege ladder car, but it was also too dangerous to be more dangerous, And because of the gap in morale, fighting spirit and combat effectiveness, once the Xuzhou soldiers climbed the city wall, they could usually bring the defenders a casualty ratio of one to two or even more, so in the siege battle on the first day, the casualties of the defenders were not smaller than those of the Xuzhou army.

What worries Qiao Rui more is the destruction of the city wall by the Xuzhou army, affected by the building technology, productivity and building materials in the specific environment of this era, the Yinling city wall is built with rammed earth in the kiln bricks, and the solidity is far less than the stone city wall or the bluestone city wall, not to mention that the stone bullet weighing 300 catties of Xiangyang cannon is basically a big pit, that is, the more primitive crash car crashes on, that is also a collision can smash a few bricks, and then a few bricks are destroyed, revealing a more fragile rammed earth layer, The ramming car will destroy the city walls even faster. Therefore, after the first day of fighting, although Qiaorui consumed nearly one-third of the stored fire oil and burned all the crashing vehicles invested by the Xuzhou army, the bottom of the city wall of the west gate of the main battlefield was still smashed into a thousand holes, and the damage was quite serious.

When it was dark, the Xuzhou army finally withdrew the infantry siege brigade and let the soldiers rest after four consecutive sieges, but the Xiangyang artillery team did not retreat, but only rotated the gunners to return to the camp to rest, and then continued to throw stones under the strict protection of the elite soldiers of Xuzhou and bombarded the Yinling city wall - this is an obvious signal that the Xuzhou army has also discovered the weakness of the insufficient solidity of the Yinling city wall.

In view of this situation, in order to solve the huge trouble of Xiangyang artillery, knowing that the field battle was inferior to the Xuzhou army, Qiao Rui still sent a death squad of 500 people out of the city to carry oil and fire to raid the Xiangyang artillery position. But it's a pity that General Qiao Rui's luck is obviously not as good as Uncle Liu's, this time the death squad went out of the city to raid, and if they want to die, they ran into the trapped camp led by Gao Shun to protect the Xiangyang artillery team, and as a result, the five hundred people of the death squad didn't even touch the edge of the Xiangyang cannon, and they were already cut down by the crazy trap camp, and even if the rest escaped back to the city, they didn't dare to go out of the city again and die in vain.

"If this continues, once the walls fall, everything will be over." Having come to this conclusion, Qiao Rui was forced to be helpless, so he had to write another urgent document to explain the situation, and sent someone out of the city from the south gate overnight to Shouchun, asking Xiao Yuan Sangong to send troops to support from the side, and buy himself some time to repair the city wall - otherwise, Qiao Rui, who has always been good at guarding, may not say how much time he can hold the Yin Tomb.

……………………

Because of the deliberate indulgence of the Xuzhou army, Qiao Rui's second emergency document was naturally sent to Shouchun City very smoothly. What is surprising is that after reading this emergency letter, the grumpy little Yuan Sangong did not scold Qiao Rui for his incompetence for the first time this time, and sent two emergency documents in four days, but coldly ordered to summon civil and military officials to enter the palace to discuss matters, and when all the civil and military officials in Huainan arrived, Xiao Yuan Sangong walked directly to the front of Changshi Shu Shao, and threw Qiao Rui's emergency letter on Shu Shao's face in public, and roared with a blue face: "Look at it, you did a good job!" Qiao Rui is in a hurry again, save it now or not? Please Shu Changshi have an idea! ”

Shu Shao knelt down with a plop, prostrate in front of Xiao Yuan Sangong, sweating all over, neither daring to pick up Qiao Rui's urgent letter to watch, nor daring to say half a word to question the truth of Qiao Rui's emergency - in history, Shu Shao, who had been killed by Xiao Yuan Sangong and had to take military food to help the victims, was actually a good person, not only loyal to Xiao Yuan Sangong, but also generally had a good relationship with his colleagues, knowing that with Qiao Rui's surname, if the battle situation in Yinling was not urgent, Qiao Rui would definitely not cause trouble to Xiao Yuan Sangong, let alone ask for help to disrupt the overall situation, So because of this, Shu Shao couldn't raise his head in front of Xiao Yuan Sangong.

Not only did Shu Shao not even dare to take a breath, but the Huainan civil and military forces present were also holding their breath, for fear that Xiao Yuan Sangong would spread his anger on his head, so after a stalemate for a long time, Yuan Yin, the younger brother of Xiao Yuan Sangong, said cautiously, "Lord, otherwise, let's send reinforcements ourselves." ”

"Fart!" Xiao Yuan Sangong, who has always paid attention to identity, scolded a dirty word and roared angrily: "What should I do if I send reinforcements across the river and can't come back?" The big-eared thief outside Shouchun City, wouldn't he even more want to ride on Lone's neck to and pee?! ”

Yuan Yin obediently closed his mouth, and Zhang Cheng, the younger brother of Hanoi celebrity Zhang Fan, who was dragged by Yuan Sangong to act as a political vase, stood up and said very calmly: "My lord, Mr. Bo Yan Xiang is very resourceful, and the situation is critical, why doesn't my lord summon Lord Yan Bo to discuss major matters?" Perhaps Lord Yan has a plan to solve the current crisis. ”

"Summoning Yan Xiang to discuss matters?"

Xiao Yuan Sangong was a little moved, but Jin Shang stood up again, and said tremblingly: "Lord, Yan Xiang was imprisoned for encouraging the lord not to treat Liu Bei well, and now our army is deeply estranged from Liu Xuande, if Yan Xiang is summoned again, Liu Xuande is there, I am only afraid of ......." ”

"Lord, the matter has come to this point, and there is no need to worry about Liu Bei's reaction to the thief." Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice: "If the Golden Thorn Shi insists on not letting the lord re-use Lord Yan, then ask the Golden Thorn Shi to contact Liu Bei and persuade Liu Bei to send troops to rescue the Yin Tomb, if Liu Bei is willing to go, and also solve the danger of the Yin Tomb, then the Lord naturally does not need to re-use the Lord Yan." If Liu Bei still insists on refusing to go to the rescue of Yinling in order to preserve his strength, then why does the lord give up a loyal advisor who is loyal to you for a so-called reinforcement army that is not reliable at all? ”

Zhang Cheng pushed the errand of Shouchun everyone's headache to himself, Jin Shang of course had some feelings of distraction and only hated himself for talking too much, but Xiao Yuan Sangong nodded his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Very good, when I invited the big-eared thief to cross Huai, the Golden Thorn Shi also contributed a lot, this matter should be handed over to the Golden Thorn Shi, Lone is waiting here, within two hours, if the Golden Thorn Shi will not satisfy Lone, or if he will not return, Lone will immediately summon Lord Yan!" Go ahead, you're welcome to the Golden Thorn History! ”

Poor Golden Thorn Shiren is under the eaves, and he is one of the accomplices who insists on luring the wolf into the house, which will naturally dare not push if he wants to, and can only obediently lead the order to send Liu Beijun to the camp, and Uncle Liu Huang is also a smart person, as soon as he heard that Xiao Yuan Sangong sent an envoy to arrive, he knew that Xiao Yuan Sangong forced himself to send troops to save Yinling, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to link Yuan or Liantao, and he didn't dare to squander the last capital and miss the God-given opportunity to gain a foothold in Huainan, so he asked for a surname to pretend to be sick and not see, under the pretext that he was occasionally infected with the cold, and sent Guan Yu Zhang Fei to stop Jin Shang, Jin Shang pleaded in every possible way, but Uncle Liu Huang just didn't see him.

Jin Shang was blocked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Uncle Liu's camp, but Xiao Yuan Sangong was not idle in Shouchun City, and after waiting for two hours without seeing news from Jin Shang, Xiao Yuan Sangong did not hesitate to sneak out of the main Bo Yan Xiang from the prison and asked Yan Xiang for advice on how to deal with it. And Yan Xiang is worthy of being counted among the loyal ministers of the Yuan family, not only did he not count the fact that Yuan Sangong sent himself to prison, but after carefully understanding the current situation, Yan Xiang also immediately knelt down on his knees to Xiao Yuan Sangong, kowtowed and said: "Lord, the matter has come to this, there is only one way to solve the deadlock in Shouchun in front of us!" ”

"What did Yan Gong say?" Xiao Yuan Sangong hurriedly asked.

"Punish Liu Bei first! After saving the Yin Tomb! Yan Xiang replied loudly: "Liu Bei exterminated the thief in every possible way, insisted on refusing to send troops to save Yinling, and took the initiative to provoke a conflict between our army and it, with only one purpose, that is, to preserve strength and sell at a price!" After the Yinling City was broken, Tao Ying thief moved to Shouchun, he is the only bargaining chip that affects the victory or defeat of Shouchun battlefield, if he falls to our army, then our army has hope to hold Shouchun, if he falls to Tao Ying thief, then I will die without a place to be buried! Such a dangerous villain, such a henchman, if it is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will be a hundred times more troubled than Tao Ying's thief! ”

Xiao Yuan Sangong was stunned, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "However, the current enemy is ....... ”

"My lord, we still have a chance." Yan Xiang replied in a deep voice: "General Qiao Rui has explained in the urgent letter that even if there are no reinforcements, he can hold out for five to seven days, which means that General Qiao Rui can still entangle the main force of the Xuzhou thief army for five to seven days, five to seven days, which is enough for my Shouchun army to annihilate more than 10,000 thieves with big ears!" After breaking the big-eared thief, the lord can also see the opportunity to act, or rescue Yinling, or order General Qiao Rui to give up Yinling to return to Shouchun, but in any case, it is better than the current internal and external troubles, and even better than guarding Shouchun, even the army does not dare to take it lightly! ”

Xiao Yuan Sangong stared at Yan Xiang, his gaze gradually firmed, and the masseter muscles on his face gradually tensed............
