"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”

At the head of Jijing City, Xiao Huo, a young general from northern Xinjiang who came after learning the alarm, was dumbfounded, and looked at the tens of thousands of imperial troops outside Jijing City in amazement.

You must know that at the celebration banquet last night, he was still asking Li Mao, the king of Yan, to take the initiative to ask for help, hoping to accept the errand of pursuing the imperial army, but he didn't expect that on the second day, he was about to go to the target of the pursuit, and he actually returned to the capital of Jijing by himself, lined up outside the capital of Jijing, which already belonged to their northern Xinjiang, and provoked recklessly.

"How can it be!" Xiao Huo, who was furious in his heart, immediately couldn't hold it back, and came to Li Mao with a few steps, and said angrily with his fists hugged, "Your Highness, the last general is willing to go out of the city to teach these rude guys a good lesson!" ”

Surprisingly, Li Mao, the king of Yan, who has always been domineering and arrogant, was silent this time, but the flame of anger seemed to be dancing in his eyes.

"Stand down, don't block Your Highness again......" Cao Da warned Xiao Huo in a low voice, pulled him aside, and then sighed secretly in his heart.

[Out of the city to fight?] What to fight? At present, there are more than 30,000 Yuyang iron cavalry in the city, which is no different from the infantry! If you go out of the city to fight, won't you be eaten by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to the point that there are no bones left? ]

Secretly glanced at the gloomy expression of Yan King Li Mao, and the generals secretly sighed in their hearts.

At the same time, they also hated so much, so hated that the actions of the imperial army were so despicable and shameless, that they actually poisoned the wells in the city, so that they accidentally caught the way.

"Ahh

Just when the soldiers at the head of Jijing City gritted their teeth and scolded the murderer who poisoned the wells in Jijing City, in the imperial army outside the city, next to the commander's chariot, Gou Gong, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, suddenly sneezed a few times, which startled Xie An, the head of the family not far away.

"Scolding so hard?" may have noticed Xie An's strange eyes. Gou Gong hurriedly wiped off the mucus from his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and then laughed at himself with a red face, in order to relieve the embarrassment in his heart.

"Can I not hate you?" Funny at Gou Gong's embarrassed appearance, Tang Hao, the deputy marshal of the main division of the Jizhou Army, chuckled and said, "Gou Shaoqing's dose of medicine has made the combat power of Northern Xinjiang at least sixty percent disappear!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xian, who was beside Xie An, shook his head. Corrected with a smile, "It's not just sixty percent, at least ninety percent!" The most difficult thing to deal with in the Northern Xinjiang Army is the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, and now the Yuyang Iron Cavalry has become an infantry, and its strength is naturally greatly reduced. What's more critical is that since Li Mao took charge of Yuyang, the northern Xinjiang army has attacked mostly and defended little, so that the infantry in northern Xinjiang has been quite fierce in attacking the city and pulling out the village. But most of them didn't know how to defend the city...... The infantry in the northern frontier is still like this, not to mention the Yuyang Iron Cavalry? Xie Changsun's offensive and defensive tactics were reversed, and it was said that the combat power of the Northern Frontier Army was almost disintegrated. With that, he turned his head and glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was holding his son Momo on the coach's chariot.

"However, to promote this matter, Gou Shaoqing is also a great contributor!" Li Xian turned his head and looked at Gou Gong with a smile. In this way, he expressed his kindness to Gou Gong.

In all fairness, it is not easy to get the praise of Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, the great sage of the country. Counting over and over, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces are probably only Xie An, who swept away the two anti-thief forces of the Three Kings and the Taiping Army, has been praised by Li Xian like this, in addition, even if it is the three generals Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li, who made the Yuyang Iron Cavalry in Northern Xinjiang suffer, Li Xian has never praised it with such an excited tone.

In this way, it is no wonder that Gou Gong was flattered, laughed a few times, shook the golden fan in his hand, and said, "I don't deserve such a reputation as His Royal Highness King Xian." How can such a lowly thing as a lowly position be worthy of such a reputation as His Royal Highness the Virtuous King? ”

"That's not what I said," he shook his head. Li Xian said with a straight face, "Those who do great things are not informal, as long as they have benevolence and righteousness in their hearts, do not hurt the people, do not cause chaos, and serve the country and the people, on the battlefield, sometimes, even if they are unscrupulous, so what?" ”

[Not a family, not a family...... Sure enough, it is worthy of being a senior sister and younger brother! ]

Glancing at the virtuous king Li Xian, Xie An pouted at Tang Hao, who couldn't help but chuckle, and then seemed to realize that this was not appropriate, so he coughed and pretended to look at the actions of Ji Jingtou.

But having said that, although his heart secretly buried Li Xian, the world-famous virtuous king, His Royal Highness would say something similar to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and humiliated his reputation as a virtuous king in vain, but after thinking about it, Xie An didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Xian's idea, after all, the battlefield battle was not child's play, let alone this kind of major battle that was related to the rise and fall of the entire country, and played a pivotal role, if the northern frontier could be defeated with minimal losses, then it would undoubtedly have an immeasurable role in promoting the stability of the Great Zhou, after all, only the national strength of the Great Zhou was still strong, The foreign tribes around the border of the Great Zhou did not dare to invade; On the contrary, if the Great Zhou consumed huge manpower, material and financial resources in the battle with the northern Xinjiang, and finally the final victory belonged to the Great Zhou court, I am afraid that the foreign races will also be eyeing the Great Zhou, which has no national strength and great loss of strength, and it is not good to say whether it will be similar to the national disaster of the foreign cavalry army entering the Great Zhou eleven years ago.

Xie An just felt a little puzzled, wondering that although Li Xian was a gentleman who acted above board, he would also choose this kind of more unspeakable thing when it came to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the stability of the world, but then again, it was precisely because of this that Li Xian would become a gentlemanly doer in Xie An'an, a pillar of the Great Zhou court, and a virtuous minister of the Keystone.

Maybe it's because of the relationship that was praised by Li Xian, even if it was Gou Gong, he couldn't help but be a little fluttering, and bragged with great interest, "It's a pity to say, there are not many strong poisons in the hands of the lowly people who see blood and seal their throats, otherwise, if this poison is poured into the well in the city, we don't have to bother to attack the city anymore, just wait a few days, and just go directly to collect the corpses of those northern Xinjiang soldiers!" ”

Li Xian smiled faintly, of course he could see that Gou Gong was a little exaggerated, he shook his head when he heard this, and he said with a straight face, "That's not possible!" After the recovery of Jijing, the people still need to be resettled in the city, if the wells in the city are put into the most fierce poison, will it not harm the people who live here in the future? ”

Gou Gong's face was slightly moved when he heard this, and he praised from the bottom of his heart, "It is worthy of His Royal Highness the Virtuous King, and he is really a kind-hearted ......" Speaking of this. He suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Xie An, and asked with a sudden understanding, "Isn't it that the adults also consider this, so why do you want to poison the wells in the city?" ”

Hearing this, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Truth be told, Gou Gong did propose to poison the city's wells. After all, according to the judgment of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Li Mao, the king of Yan, must have guessed that the imperial army was about to withdraw from Jijing, and he was overjoyed, but most of them would not be wary of anything. Taking a step back, even if you are on guard, I am afraid that you will not think that the imperial army will make a big fuss about the wells in the capital of Ji.

At that time, Xie An rejected Gou Gong's proposal, because he knew that Gou Gong was refining poison and poison powder. If it is cast in the well in the capital of Hebei, although there will definitely be many soldiers in the north who will be poisoned to death because of drinking the water in the well, but after all, only a few people died of poisoning. After all, no one would be so stupid, after watching Tong Ze drink the water from the well and immediately poison to death. Will also stupidly continue to drink the water.

It was only based on this consideration that Xie An blocked Gou Gong's proposal to poison the city's wells, unless Gou Gong could develop a chronic poison. It can control the poisoning time of the poisoning and death of the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang who drank the water after a certain period of time, such as three days or five days, after all, this time is enough for all the soldiers of the northern army to drink the poisoned water.

But unfortunately, Gou Gong is only a half-hung doctor after all, except for aphrodisiacs, he can only refine poisons, how did he develop this almost mythical strange poison?

So, Xie An asked Gou Gong to replace the poison with laxatives, after all, although laxatives are also strong. But after all, it did not make the people out and the people of the northern Xinjiang army were panicked, and they did not dare to drink the water from the well in the city. After all, no one in the northern Xinjiang can tell whether those soldiers with diarrhea have eaten bad stomachs or drunk laxatives by mistake, and it is easy to ignore this sign. Unless it is a large number of soldiers vomiting and diarrhea.

As for the people who will live in this city in the future, to be honest, Xie An didn't think about it at the time, so that when Gou Gong asked that sentence with admiration on his face now, Xie An really felt a little burning on his face.

"Well, sort of......"

After all, Xie An only responded vaguely.

Gou Gong was even more admired when he heard this, after all, he was originally Xie An's confidant, and when he learned that the head of the family he was loyal to had a benevolent heart that was not inferior to Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, he was very happy in his heart, and immediately poured out many words of praise in his mouth, only to hear Xie An's embarrassment.

"Alright, alright." Maybe he couldn't stand Gou Gong's blind worship, Xie An waved his hand, diverted the topic and said, "Although there is Gou Gong's laxative, our army should not take it lightly, maybe there are still many soldiers in the city who do not have water sources in drinking wells!" ”

"The last general understands!" Tang Hao responded with his fists at the right time, after all, he is the deputy commander of the main division of the Jizhou Army, the deputy general of Xie An, and the general who really commands the main division of the Jizhou Army.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Hao rode out of the array, looked up at the head of Jijing City, and shouted loudly, "Where is the traitor Li Mao?!" ”

On the city tower, Li Mao, the king of Yan, opened his eyes angrily, ignoring the obstruction of Zhang Qi, Cao Da and other generals, strode to the city wall, and shouted loudly, "Who are you who dare to insult this king like this?!" ”

"I am Tang Hao, deputy commander of the main division of the Jizhou Army!" Out of courtesy, Tang Haoyao clenched his fists from afar, and immediately shouted, "Li Mao, as my general on the northern border of the Great Zhou, you don't think about guarding the gate of the northern frontier for the country and benefiting the people of the Great Zhou...... Are you guilty?! ”

"Humph!" Li Mao snorted coldly and scolded with disdain, "The deputy marshal of the little First Army dares to make irresponsible remarks about this king?" ――Xiao Xiao is not qualified to talk to this king, so ask Xie An and Xiao Ba to come out! ”

After that, no matter what Tang Hao said, Yan King Li Mao ignored it again.

Seeing this, Xie An and Li Xian glanced at each other, nodded to Tang Hao, who cast an inquiring gaze, and the two drove their war horses to the city, looking up at Li Mao, the king of Yan with golden helmets and golden armor on the city tower.

Shaking his head and sighing slightly, Li Xian, the Eight Sages King, took a deep breath and persuaded bitterly again, "Fourth brother...... Xiao Wang called you the fourth brother again, both of them are the children and grandchildren of the Li family, why do you want to fight in the same room, causing the world to be uneasy? It's better to stop now. Seek forgiveness from the Son of Heaven! ”

Xie An glanced at Li Xian in surprise when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that at this moment, Li Xian still had the intention of persuading Li Mao in his heart.

But think about it, Yan King Li Mao is not only a member of his Li royal family, but also a rare and valuable general, whether it is public or private. Li Xian, who takes the prosperity of the Great Zhou and the inheritance of the society as his own responsibility, will not give up any chance of redemption, even if this opportunity is too small and almost insignificant.

[Pit King, Pit Man King, although you are a good heart, but unfortunately people may not appreciate it......]

Although he didn't say it directly, Xie Anxin inevitably sighed secretly.

Sure enough, just as Xie An thought, after Li Xian finished saying those words of persuasion, a sneer from Li Mao, the king of Yan, came from the head of Jijing City.

"Seeking forgiveness from the Son of Heaven?" Slapped the wall with both hands. Yan King Li Mao sneered again and again, and said with a disdainful expression, "The position of the Great Zhou Emperor originally belonged to this king!" If it weren't for me, Li Mao would have deterred the grasslands in northern Xinjiang, and sent troops to sweep the grasslands dozens of times, driving the hidden dangers of my Great Zhou for hundreds of years to the north of the Great Plains. Can Ji Jing live in peace? Can the world live in peace? Under the whole world, who dares to say that the merit is above my Li Mao?! ”

"......" Li Xian was speechless when he heard this, after all, in terms of merit. Li Mao, the king of Yan, deserves to be the first person in the world, even if Xie An swept away the forces of the Three Kings and the Taiping Army, it is difficult to compete with Li Mao. After all, Li Mao, the king of Yan, not only ensured the stability of the northern frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past ten years, but even fundamentally eradicated the hidden danger of the grassland tribe, which had caused headaches for the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, and his merits were even higher than that of Liang Qiu Gong, the hero of the northern Xinjiang and the tiger of the northern Xinjiang.

It is precisely for this reason that everyone on the court side has a headache about how to deal with Li Mao, and after thinking about it, they can only come up with one way, that is, in front of the people of the world, ask Li Shou, the son of heaven, to personally ask Li Mao to blame. Counting the crimes committed by Li Mao, and finally beheading him, the whole process had to be seen by some world-famous Confucian scholars and sages. There must be no deviation.

After all, the court was going to execute this time, and it was a national hero.

In addition, if Li Mao dies in the chaos by accident, this will not be a fortunate thing for the long-term plan of the imperial court, and it is impossible to say whether there will be Li Mao's supporters in the future who will embarrass the imperial court under the banner of this prince with the surname of the country.

"Why don't you speak? Hachi, you said! Seeing that Li Xian was speechless, Li Mao, the king of Yan on the city tower, was even more arrogant, and after scolding a few words, he sneered and said, "A guy who ascends to the throne with good luck and has the support of a bunch of vain ministers is also worthy of being my Emperor of the Great Zhou?" What a thing is he! It's just a mongrel born of a palace maid! ”

"......" Under the city, Xie An, who didn't plan to intervene in the conversation between Li Xian and Li Mao, couldn't help frowning, he could pretend not to hear anything else, even if Li Mao pointed out that Sang scolded Huaidi and scolded him for being a vain minister, but since Li Mao's words involved Li Shou's background, then Xie Anke couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, after all, he and Li Shou were friends who were friends in trouble.

"And what are you?"

A bland word stunned the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city and under the city, and even Li Mao, the king of Yan, was stunned when he heard the words, as if he never thought that one day he, Li Mao, a national hero, would be insulted like this.

"You know, Li Mao, you're not a thing!" Ignoring the stunned and sluggish expressions of the soldiers above and below the city, Xie An said with a sneer.

"Good guy, it's hard to make it difficult to directly attack Yan King Li Mao......" Tang Hao gasped, unbelievable that Xie An dared to speak to Yan King Li Mao like this.

To be honest, Tang Hao was also shocked by Li Mao, otherwise, he would not have turned his head to consult Xie An and Li Xian's opinions because of Li Mao's words.

Before the words fell, he saw Gou Gong pouting and said, "My lord is right, what is this Li Mao?" Relying on his own merits, if he hadn't been stopped by the adults and His Royal Highness the Virtuous King, it would have been easy for Gou to kill this fang! ”

The two generals in the army, Dian Ying and E Yi, glanced at each other when they heard this, and did not speak with a tacit understanding. In their opinion, this Gou Gong Gou Shaoqing is also a terrible guy who can be called a one-man army from a certain point of view, and his ability to use poison with one hand is simply amazing, but it is still a little difficult to deal with Li Mao, the king of Yan, I am afraid it is still a little difficult, and it is very likely that he will be shot before he gets close to Li Mao, unless this Gou Shaoqing also has the ability of Mo Fei Mo Duwei.

Of course, the two generals of Dianying and E Yi didn't dare to say these words, after all, none of them wanted to eat and drink by themselves, and when they ate and drank by themselves, there were so many powders in the meals and kettles that were difficult to see the naked eye, and God knows if the northern Xinjiang soldiers in the city were about to pull out their intestines at this moment. The two of them didn't want to suffer this sin.

Whether it was out of fear of Gou Gong or support for Xie An, the Jizhou sergeant wanted to be on Xie An's side, but the Northern Xinjiang army in the capital of Ji was furious when he heard this, especially Li Mao, the king of Yan himself, his eyes had already narrowed, the fierce light in the tiger's eyes flashed, and his face was hideous and terrifying, like a hungry wolf who wanted to choose someone to devour.

"Sheapif. You dare to insult this king?! ”

"Isn't it?" Turning a blind eye to the murderous words of Yan King Li Mao, Xie An sneered and said, "Maybe you Li Mao was also a hero who was willing to shed his blood for the country and the people of Dawn at the beginning. But right now, you can't afford to be a hero, you don't deserve it! In order to seize the throne, you connived at the foreign cavalry of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force to set foot on the territory of our Great Zhou Dynasty and make waves all the way. You've lost your hero's crown! Why do I need foreign interference in the affairs of my Great Zhou?! ”

As soon as these words came out, the anger and murderous aura of the soldiers in the northern frontier on the city wall against Xie An suddenly stagnated, you must know that Xie An's words were even demeaning, but he couldn't pick out the slightest thorn. After all, the foreign cavalry of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force was allowed to set foot on the territory of the Great Zhou. This is indeed the handiwork of their allegiance, the lord of Yan, Li Mao.

[Got caught......]

Northern Xinjiang generals Zhang Qi and Cao Da glanced at each other, and a little worry flashed in their eyes, you must know what Xie An said. It's what worries them most.

Not to mention them, even Li Mao, the king of Yan as the party concerned, had no way to refute, so he could only follow in the footsteps of Li Xian, although he wanted to defend himself, he was speechless.

Seeing this, Xie Anxin laughed secretly, raised his voice and shouted, "Soldiers of Northern Xinjiang, you have opened your eyes and seen clearly, the one in front of you. Is that the national hero who once led you, for the stability of the Great Zhou, did not hesitate to sit in the cold land of Yuyang, and fought against the ferocious foreign cavalry? Or rather. Just a sinner who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, in order to commit rebellion, usurp the throne and seek the dynasty, and do not hesitate to lure foreign cavalry into the country? The Liaodong Expeditionary Force arrived in Jijing all the way from Liaodong, and how many of our villages in the Great Zhou were destroyed and how many innocent people were killed during this period? Among them, there may be your relatives and friends! You still revere this man as a hero because of his former aura, and this is what this government calls him, traitor! ”

As soon as these words came out, the two sergeants above and below the city were in an uproar, gasped, and talked about it.

The Jizhou army is naturally cheering for its own coach Xie An, on the other hand, the northern Xinjiang generals in the city, although they are also angry at Xie An's words, but it is obvious that it is much better than the party.

Even, there were already some soldiers looking at Yan King Li Mao with complicated expressions.

"Wen Jun said that the 100,000 soldiers of Hangu Pass will defect...... Xiao Wang finally saw it! During the period when the two soldiers above and below the city were stunned, Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, looked at Xie An with a smile and praised him sincerely.

You must know that five years ago, Xie An did say that he had surrendered about 100,000 rebels with a tongue, but of course it was not as exaggerated as Li Xian said, only in the area of Hangu Pass, in fact, the 100,000 or so rebels who surrendered to Xie An at that time included Hanhan Valley Pass, Qin Han Valley Pass, Tongguan and Chang'an and other places.

But even so, the ministers of the court at that time were also a little unbelievable, including Li Xian, the king of the eight sages who later returned to the court from Jiangnan, after all, even Li Xian could not imagine that Xie An could call hundreds of thousands of enemy troops to defect with a single move, but today, Li Xian finally saw that Xie An's words were not only scolding Li Mao fiercely, but also making his soldiers suspicious, and more importantly, this remark was really ingenious, so that people could not find the slightest thorn.

"If people don't know, unless they do it, Li Mao deserves to be left in the world, and the handle is in our hands......" Xie An said with a snicker.

Li Xian nodded when he heard this, he naturally knew what Xie An was referring to, but just when he was about to say something, there was an angry roar from the tower of the Yan King, Li Mao.

"Thanks, Ann!"

"What's the matter, Your Highness the traitor?" Slanting his eyes at Li Mao, the king of Yan on the city tower, Xie An was unforgiving, and said with a mocking face, "Are you thinking, [Oh, the Liaodong Expeditionary Force that this king has high hopes for. How did you lose your whereabouts for some reason! It's a pity, Your Highness the traitor, the foreign cavalry you have high hopes for is waiting for you to give orders in the Netherworld at this moment, and you don't go down to accompany them? ”

"You!" Li Mao, the king of Yan, was furious when he heard this, gritted his teeth and scolded, "This king should have killed you a long time ago!" ”

"You think you've killed this house. The world doesn't know what you've done? If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do! Shaking his head pretendically, Xie An sighed and said, "A good national hero is not appropriate, he has to be a rebel king who commits rebellion, and he does not hesitate to bring foreign soldiers into the country, just like you, do you still want to be my great Zhou Tianzi?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Yan King Li Mao roared angrily, and smashed most of the turning head on the wall battlement with one palm. The tiger glared, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Xie Anpifu, do you really think that this king will not dare to kill you?" ”

"Come on!" Xie An hooked his finger towards Ji Jingcheng's head without any scruples, and at the same time, Tang Hao, the deputy commander of the Jizhou Army, waved his hand. Suddenly, tens of thousands of crossbowmen were arrayed, leading but not firing.

If in normal times. Where can Li Mao, the king of Yan, swallow this breath, let alone ten thousand crossbowmen, even if it is several times more, why is he afraid? Why should he be afraid of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry in Northern Xinjiang under his command? !

But not today, because the Yuyang Iron Cavalry under his command has become infantry, and those war horses have long been strained from drinking the well water that has been put into laxatives, and their hooves are weak and unstable on their feet, where can they still be put into battle?

What the? Tell the infantry to go out of the city to fight? Isn't that self-defeating? You must know that there are not only 10,000 crossbowmen outside the city, but a terrifying number of nearly 100,000 soldiers. Even if more than 10,000 infantry who were not poisoned were thrown into the battlefield, I am afraid that the end would be swallowed by the imperial soldiers and horses outside the city in an instant, and there would not be even bones left.

Anger returns to anger. But Li Mao is not delirious, and he can still think about this clearly.

Taking a deep breath, Yan King Li Mao finally calmed down, thinking about it, he was the overlord of the grassland after all, and he would definitely not be so angry that he lost his mind because of Xie An's words.

"Liaodong Expeditionary Force...... Have you solved it? ”

Li Mao, the king of Yan who was in doubt, asked in an extremely cold tone.

To tell the truth, seeing that the imperial soldiers and horses went and returned, but the foreign cavalry of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force did not return, in fact, Li Mao had a bad premonition in his heart. It's just that because he found that the soldiers and horses on the side of the imperial court were almost without losses, Li Mao subconsciously couldn't believe it, after all, in his opinion, the Liaodong Expeditionary Force eventually had as many as sixty or seventy thousand, and all of them were not inferior to the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, even if he Yan King Li Mao wanted to deal with this cavalry army, without paying an extremely heavy price, it was obviously impossible to do it, could it be said that the other party had the ability to eradicate the foreign cavalry without spending a single soldier?

Thinking of this, even Yan Wang Li Mao couldn't help but ooze layers of cold sweat from his brain.

Hearing Yan King Li Mao's question, Li Xian sighed slightly, he couldn't hear that Li Mao was testing him, but he still answered Li Mao without concealing it.

"Don't be tempted, fourth brother, your so-called plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf has already been seen through by us, and the tiger you drove has already been wiped out......"

"......" Li Mao was so shocked that his eyes opened suddenly, and layers of cold sweat couldn't help but ooze out of his brain.

[How is that possible!] The Liaodong Expeditionary Force was completely wiped out? And the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were not damaged at all? No way! This is impossible! Hachi is probably lying to me...... Yes, most of them were like Ma Dan last time, who just deceived Xiao Huo's kid to another place, and then dumped him, and this time it should be the same! But...... The Liaodong Expeditionary Force is sixty or seventy thousand, how can it be reasonable not to be thrown off......]

After being puzzled, Li Mao, the king of Yan, said tentatively again, "Do you think that if you use this ridiculous lie to deceive this king, this king's mind will be shaken?" ”

Li Xian shook his head when he heard this, and said with a sigh, "Xiao Wang will never deceive the fourth brother, the Liaodong Expeditionary Force has long been wiped out on the banks of the Qingshui River!" ”

[On the banks of the Shimizu River?] On the banks of the Qingshui River on the south side of Anping Country? ]

An idea that made him extremely stunned appeared in his mind, and Li Maoqiang, the king of Yan, endured the horror in his heart and said quietly, "Do you think that adding a place name will make this king credulous?" Amusing! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie An sneered and said mockingly, "It's ridiculous that you're right!" Do you think your Liaodong Expeditionary Force is a powerful thing? ”

Li Mao, the king of Yan, heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "Okay, you can tell me, how did you wipe out the entire Liaodong expeditionary force of this king without spending a single soldier!" ”

"It's easy!" Xie An shrugged. said calmly, "Since the Liaodong Expeditionary Force is willing to chase after the cavalry of my Jizhou Army, then let them chase after it...... The cavalry officers and soldiers of my Jizhou army took those foreign guys who were valued by you in a few big circles in the north of Anping Kingdom, and when they were tired and tired, they led them to the bank of the Qingshui River. That...... You say tens of thousands of cavalry are coming? Anyway, no matter how many, those people were all washed down by the flood......"

"Ridiculous!" Before Li Mao could speak, Zhang Qi, the general of Northern Xinjiang, couldn't help but say, "The Qingshui River is flowing gently, why does it burst the embankment?" ”

"Because I have prepared in advance, didn't the infantry leave Jijing nearly ten days earlier than the cavalry! You wouldn't have seen it outside the city at that time, shouldn't it be unclear? Yes? Right? Xie An said innocently.

Zhang Qi sighed in his heart when he heard this, and after glancing at Youdou, he said recklessly. "In just ten days, how can the impounded river water cause the embankment to burst?"

"You're stupid, you don't know it's the autumn flood season recently!"

"Are you ......" Zhang Qi was speechless when Xie An said it, but at this time, the general Cao Da stood up and asked. The Liaodong Expeditionary Force is not stupid, when the river comes, won't they run? ”

"I can't run." Nunu made a strange appearance on his mouth, and Xie An said with a smile, "Because those war horses were all down and didn't move at that time?" ”

"Still?"

"Ahh Because when passing through the Qingshui River, the cavalry of my Jizhou army drove their horses and galloped, while falling beans along the way near the river and the shallows in the river. ”

Cao Da's face turned pale when he heard this, after all, they had been in the grassland. I also used a similar trick to deal with the grassland people, and I never thought that one day someone would use this trick on them.

And I heard that. Yan King Li Mao also let out a long sigh, which was exactly what he was afraid of.

Compared with the straightforward conquest on the grassland, after all, the Great Zhou people who knew the art of war were even more difficult to deal with!

After a sigh, Li Mao, the king of Yan, left the city, apparently not wanting to say anything more to Xie An and Li Xian.

Seeing this, Xie An and Li Xian, who was slightly disappointed, also returned to the army.

At this time, Dian Ying, the general of the main division of the Jizhou Army, couldn't help but ask, "My lord, is it really a siege but not an attack?" The last general conservatively estimated that after Lord Gou's thoughts, at least 30,000 of the 50,000 Northern Frontier troops in the city would temporarily lose their combat power, which was an excellent opportunity! At this time, if you attack Jijing, you can capture it! ”

Xie An was about to explain when he heard this, when suddenly a woman's voice came from behind him.

"It's not that you don't attack, it's just that you don't really want to capture Jijing!"

The generals subconsciously turned their heads, and suddenly saw that the eldest grandson Xiangyu was riding the commander's chariot slowly forward, and immediately looked straight and called the military advisor with a fist.

"Hmm!" bowed to his husband Xie An, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu said to the generals, "Li Mao is domineering and conceited, this time he got Jijing, he must not want to spit it out easily, according to the concubine's guess, he will most likely choose to stick to the Jingshi...... But if we don't give him the slightest chance to defend the city, and storm it...... Li Mao is not a hairy boy who has just started to fight, he naturally knows what to do, what not to do, if he sees the situation and cannot do it, he will definitely leave the northern army in the city, and quietly go to Boling with several generals, when the time comes, will we pursue Li Mao, or continue to attack Jijing? ”

"This ......" Dianying was stunned for a moment, her expression a little distracted.

However, the eldest grandson Xiangyu obviously didn't want to listen to Dian Ying's reaction, and continued with a light cough, "Li Mao is also one of the heroes of the great victory in northern Hebei eleven years ago, and he knows very well that sometimes only unscrupulous means can achieve victory, if after he returns to Boling, because he is afraid that we will join General Liangqiu Wu, he takes a step ahead and kills General Liangqiu Wu before our army arrives in Boling, what should this be?" ”

As soon as this statement is outstanding, his complexion will change greatly, after all, Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Wu is their eldest master, how can she stand by and watch her life and death?

"Isn't the situation on the eldest mother's side very critical?" Gou Gong couldn't help but ask, you must know that before the eldest grandson Xiangyu broke the matter, they all thought that Liangqiu Wu, who was in Boling, was just unable to lead the army to break through, and there was no problem in self-preservation.

In response to this matter, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said lightly, "Boling, it's just a land of projectiles." Originally, there was a natural danger to rely on, but now that the Northern Xinjiang Army has a way to cross Boling in a roundabout way, Boling has no danger to defend...... Surrounded on all sides, part-time jobs and grain roads are cut off, even if it is not critical, it is not easy! ”

"No wonder Junshi Liu must go to Boling to relieve the siege for the eldest master...... Tang Hao suddenly muttered, and after speaking, he suddenly realized the faint gaze of the eldest grandson Xiangyu that glanced at him. He smiled and immediately didn't dare to say more.

"In short, that's it, the siege of the city is naturally going to be attacked, but it also has to give Li Mao the illusion that it may be possible to hold the city, only in this way will he have the heart to draw troops from Boling, and when the time comes, the right army division will be able to show its ability......" When it came to the right army division, the eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at Liu Qing, who was also on the commander's chariot. The latter snorted softly and did not say much.

"Surround the point to send reinforcements, ......" touched his chin, Xie An vaguely heard the plan of the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

"Hmm, it should be right to encircle the point and send reinforcements......" Nodding, Li Xian affirmed in a low voice, "Li Mao is a tiger." If the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles, which is the plan for now. can only weaken the strength of the Northern Frontier Army as much as possible, and it is best to take this opportunity to rescue General Liangqiu, and then the army will gather in this capital and capture Li Mao in one fell swoop! At the end, Li Xian clenched his fists heavily, as if swearing that this matter was certain.

Come to think of it, after all, now the people in Anping Kingdom have moved to the vicinity of Chaoge, and there are almost no more people in the entire Anping Kingdom within thousands of miles, there is no doubt that this is the best battlefield for the battle against Northern Li Mao and the Northern Xinjiang army, even if the war is getting more and more intense. It will not implicate innocent people, and the losses caused by the war can be suppressed to a minimum.

And if once the Yan King Li Mao is called away. The worst thing is that if it is told to flee back to the northern frontier, if there is another fight, the losses suffered by the Great Zhou due to the war will be immeasurable.

[Completely trapped Li Mao, the fierce wolf in the north, in the empty city of Jijing!] ]

Xie An and Li Xian glanced at each other, and both of them thought of one place.

"Tang Hao, prepare for the siege!"

"Order!" Tang Hao clenched his fists to receive the order, and Metabolic An gave orders.

First of all, Fei Guo was ordered to lead the first partial division of the Jizhou Army, accompany the Southern Army, and set up camp in the northwest of Anping State to cut off the road from Jijing to Boling;

Secondly, the squire of the Ministry of Punishment, Xun Zheng of Weiwei Temple, and the soldiers of the City Defense Division of Weiwei Temple under his command, accompanied the Northern Army led by Hou Wenqin of Beichi, and set up camp in the northeast of Anping Kingdom, after all, the Liaodong Expeditionary Force came all the way from this direction, Xie An didn't want to attack Jijing, but he was attacked by some army from the north of Xinjiang, God knows if Li Mao, the king of Yan, still has any troops in his hands. However, later it turned out that Xie An was a little worried, and in addition to the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, it was really difficult for Li Mao, the king of Yan, to conjure up any army.

And Ma Dan and the second division of the Jizhou Army led by him, Xie An gave him a very high degree of autonomy, after all, Ma Dan's talent is no longer on the battlefield, his sense of smell of the battlefield form, even above the intuitive Liao Li, is a natural strategic level of commander-in-chief, if it is limited to one place, it is simply overkill.

As for Liao Li, because he had to accompany Liu Qing, the right division of the Jizhou Army, to Boling to rescue Liang Qiuwu and relieve the siege for the Eastern Army, Xie An did not issue any orders to him in this battle.

In the end, Xie An ordered Tang Hao to lead the main division of the Jizhou Army to set up camp on the west side of Jijing, about fifteen miles away from the Beijing division, to build siege equipment, thus launching the Gyeonggi Campaign, which involved more than 200,000 soldiers.

After the assignment of the imperial army was completed, the atmosphere in the capital of Jijing was indeed extremely solemn, as if the form of a few months ago had been completely reversed. You must know that when Li Mao, the king of Yan, led the northern Xinjiang army to attack Jijing, the defenders on the head of Jijing were also shocked, and now, the so-called feng shui is taking turns, seeing the imperial army under the city coming and going, the northern Xinjiang soldiers on the city are subconsciously holding their breath, not daring to make a loud noise, for fear that the imperial army will come to attack the city immediately.

The offensive and defensive momentum has been completely transposed!

Seeing the imperial army under the city that was ready to attack, the expression in the eyes of Li Mao, the king of Yan, changed for a while, as if he was struggling with something.
