Chapter 265: Prepare for the battle

The sky is just dawning.

The gate of Daxing City, which had been closed all night, suddenly opened, and a red feather messenger galloped out of Daxing City on a high-headed horse.

"Drive!"

The Red Feather Messenger drank heavily, and galloped with all his horsepower, for they carried in their bosom a letter that was eight hundred miles urgent.

The Red Feather Messenger galloped along the brick road all the way to the east, changing eight horses along the way, and finally arrived at Feng Yi's county town.

"Report!"

The Red Feather messenger rode directly to the Taishou Mansion in Feng Yi County.

"General Qi Yin! Daxing City sent an urgent report of 800 miles! The Red Feather Messenger said.

The Yin World Master was taken aback, the eight-hundred-mile rush was only used when it was the most important, could it be that something big had happened?

The Yin Shi Shi took the secret report, waved his subordinates away, and came to the study.

Stretched out his hand and took out a copy of "Zuo Chuan" from the bookshelf, because according to Yang Yu's instructions before departure, the six-hundred-mile expedited and eight-hundred-mile expedited were written in ciphers, and the code book of the Yin Shishi was "Zuo Chuan".

Spread the "Left Biography" on the table, opened the secret report, and sure enough, it was a series of numbers.

Seeing these cipher numbers, the Yin Shishi sincerely admired His Royal Highness the Acting King, this kind of cipher transmitting intelligence was intercepted by the enemy, and they did not know the content of the Dao information, which ensured the absolute security of the information, although the process was cumbersome, but the effect was leveraged.

The Yin World Master didn't care about this, and immediately deciphered the secret report according to the code.

With the cipher and codebook, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Yin World Master had already deciphered the secret report.

Seeing the contents of the secret report, the Yin World Master was suddenly struck by lightning. His face was pale, and his body was shaky.

"Your Majesty......" The Yin Shi Master hurriedly covered his mouth, and there was a whimper in the room.

After a long time, the Netherworld Master put the secret letter into the brazier with trembling hands, and saw with his own eyes that the secret letter burned completely.

When the Yin Shishi reappeared in the lobby of the mansion, his eyes were red.

"General!" The officials saluted.

Yin Shishi looked around at the officials of Feng Yi County, and said in a hoarse voice: "Pass the order, from now on, all counties and counties in Feng Yi County will be under martial law." ”

The officials' hearts sank, and they looked at the Yin Shishi's appearance of not being angry and arrogant. He bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”

"Also. Feng Yijun's government affairs are temporarily represented by Neishi. ”

"Yes!" Feng Yi bowed down in the county.

The Yin Shishi explained a few more words, and ordered Feng Yijun's affairs to continue.

"What about you, General?" Neishi asked, and it was a little inexplicable that the Yin Shishi suddenly explained the government affairs like this.

"Prepare your horse immediately. General Ben wanted to return to Daxing City immediately. The Yin World Master said categorically.

Huoyi. The cold wind was fierce. It's shivering.

Under Huoyi City, Qu Tutong looked at the tall and majestic Huoyi City, and his heart was rolling. This city was built by him, of course he knew the power of this kind of city, if it was stormed, it would be impossible to capture Huoyi City without killing and wounding 10,000 soldiers.

The loss of 10,000 soldiers was a loss that no general could bear, Qu Tutong did not choose to attack, but chose another method, that is, digging a long trench to besiege Huoyi.

And there is another reason why Qu Tutong did not order a strong attack, he knew that Taiyuan had been captured by Liu Wuzhou.

He and the staff committee assigned back by His Royal Highness the Acting King agreed that if he besieged Huoyi at this moment, slowed down his pace, and gave Li Tang a chance to breathe, Li Tang would definitely fight to the death with Liu Wuzhou in order to seize Taiyuan.

Anyway, Daxing City must capture Taiyuan, if Li Tang is eliminated at this moment, they will face Liu Wuzhou intact, it is better to wait for Liu Wuzhou and the Tang army to fight, then Daxing City will act again, no matter which side wins, it will also be a tragic victory, and the difficulty of attacking Taiyuan again will be greatly reduced at that time.

Now that Huoyi has been besieged for more than 20 days, I believe that the food in Huoyi City is about to run out, and Huoyi will not be able to support it for long.

Qu Tutong's face was resolute, looking directly at Huo Yi in front of him, and in a few days, Huo Yi would return to his hands.

"General! Daxing City 800 miles urgent! A herald hurried to Qu Tutong's side.

Qu Tutong was shocked, immediately picked up the secret letter, returned to the Chinese army's big tent, and took out a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War with his backhand.

Soon, the password was translated.

"Impossible?" Qu Tutong's heart shook wildly.

He didn't believe that Yang Guang had died like this, but this was an eight-hundred-mile rush from Daxingcheng, and it was impossible for Yang Yu to lie in this regard.

After a long time, Qu Tutong gave a dejected order: "Immediately retreat to Linfen County!" ”

If Yang Guang died, then his most important task would be to stabilize the 70,000 army, not to conquer Huoyi City.

Huoyi in the city.

Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing were sad, now Huoyi has been besieged for more than 20 days, and the daily consumption of 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city can be a terrifying number, and most of the food in the city has been consumed.

"Shizi, now that the food of the people in the city has been gathered, we are tightened with food and clothing, and we can only support it for another twenty days at most." Liu Wenjing said.

"Twenty days!" Li Jiancheng suddenly had a headache, this is not good news, now Li Jing is storming Longquan County, Li Yuan is retreating, although Li Shimin has recaptured Taiyuan, but it is also a tragic victory, and Huoyi City may not be able to wait for reinforcements in twenty days.

If you take 10,000 steps back, even if reinforcements come, it is not enough to stuff Qu Tutong's 70,000 troops. Besieging the city and sending reinforcements is not the patent of modern people.

"I'm afraid I'm going to be in danger this time?" Li Jiancheng lamented in his heart.

Suddenly, a soldier ran over excitedly and shouted, "Qi Yu Shizi, Qu Tutong has retired outside the city." ”

"Withdrawn?" Li Jiancheng was shocked.

"How is that possible?" Liu Wenjing exclaimed, in his opinion, Qu Tutong would not stop until Huoyi ran out of food, how could he withdraw at this time.

The two glanced at each other, quickly rushed up the city wall, and looked down at the city.

Sure enough, the Sui army camp outside the city has begun to be dismantled, all the Sui troops are densely gathered, and the vanguard has begun to retreat.

"Whew!" Huoyi City cheered, for the soldiers, of course they were happy to be able to survive without fighting.

However, Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng always had a lingering suspicion in their hearts, and they didn't understand why Qu Tutong would suddenly withdraw from the army.

This question lasted until the earth-shattering storm hit, and the two suddenly realized.

Longquan County.

Li Jing had already broken through Longquan County, and Li Yuan retreated to Lishi County again.

Li Jing was preparing to pursue again, but at this time, he received an urgent report of 800 miles, and immediately ordered to stop sending troops and rectify Longquan County, so that Li Yuan had time to breathe.

At the same time, all the counties in Guanzhong received an order from His Royal Highness the Acting King to raise the county to martial law, which was the first time that Yang Yu issued an order to the counties of Guanzhong on a large scale.

Although the county guards were confused, they still carried it out, after all, martial law did not hurt.

Everything was arranged, and Yang Yu waited for the earth-shattering storm to hit. (To be continued......)
