At the same time that Yang Guo led a large army to march to Xiacheng City, Yang Jun of Wudu City also officially sent troops to defend and sent henchmen to notify Yang Guo as soon as possible, so that the two armies could fight together.

Two days later, Yang Guo's army arrived more than ten miles outside the north gate of Xiaban City, and set up camp, and soon, Yang Jun's main army was also stationed outside the west gate.

Outside the west gate and the north gate, a large number of rebel armies were stationed at the same time, which made Yang Songnu in the city a little unable to sit still, the strength of the rebel army was three times that of the imperial forest army defending the city, in case of attacking the city with all its might, I was afraid that the imperial forest army would be difficult to hold for a long time.

In the days when he ascended the throne of Qiu Chi Gong, Yang Song Nu did not sleep a single peaceful sleep, he was not only worried about the assassination of Yang Chu's remnants of cronies in the city, but also worried about Yang Jun in Wudu City and the Jin army in Liangzhou, both of which were far more powerful than the Imperial Forest Army under his control, if they did not support him, his position as Qiu Chi Gong would not be able to do it for a few days.

In order to prevent the assassination of the remnants of Yang Chu's cronies, Yang Songnu asked his confidant Liang Shiwang to lead 500 personal soldiers to protect himself day and night, and surrounded the entire Qiuchi Mansion to prevent the assassins from entering.

At the same time, in order to make his position longer, he sent his cronies to Wudu City and Nanzheng City respectively, asking Yang Jun and Hua'an to support him with various superior promises.

However, he couldn't fathom Yang Jun and Hua An's thoughts, so he was anxious every day, until Yang Jun's rebel army was stationed outside the West Gate, he woke up like a dream and understood that Yang Jun had rejected his kindness and chose to support Yang Guo.

As a result, Yang Songnu's situation will become extremely dangerous. At any time, they were facing the end of the city being destroyed and people were killed, which made Yang Songnu and his cronies a little anxious.

However, Xiafen Castle is the capital of Qiuchi, and the equipment of the Imperial Forest Army is also well-equipped, although it cannot defeat the rebel coalition forces outside the city, as long as it resists with all its might, it is no problem to hold it for three or five days.

At this point, there is only one life-saving straw left in Yang Songnu's heart, and that is Hua'an in Liangzhou, after all. The cronies he sent. There have been some promises of support from Hua'an, and although these promises are Hua'an's lies, Yang Songnu would rather believe that it is true because. Only this is true. He will be able to get through this difficult time. in order to defeat the rebel coalition and sit firmly in the position of the monarch of Qiu Chi.

It's just that the army of Hua'an is stationed on the border, and it has no intention of entering Qiuchi. This made him very anxious, after all, the rebel coalition forces had already come to the city, and Hua'an's soldiers and horses were still in the border area nearly two hundred miles away from Xiabiancheng, if he didn't support him, Xiabiancheng would be in danger of being breached.

For this reason, Yang Songnu once again sent an envoy to Nanzheng City to give Hua'an a greater promise to Hua'an to send troops to assist him in quelling the rebellion.

Seeing his cronies leave Xiafen City and run in the direction of South Zhengcheng, Yang Songnu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led a group of cronies to inspect the north gate city wall.

Under the protection of two hundred soldiers led by King Liang Shi, Yang Songnu and his entourage arrived at the north gate of Xiaban City very smoothly.

Standing on the city gate tower and looking north, the dense tents in the distance are in full view, where is the base camp of the Yang State's rebel army, from the scale, enough to accommodate 5,000 soldiers, it can be said that the Yang State is pouring out.

Looking at the Yang State camp in front of him, Yang Songnu frowned, in fact, Yang Guo's army was already in his expectation, and he was not afraid of Yang Guo's 5,000 army, but at this moment, outside the West Gate, Yang Jun's 10,000 main army also set up camp, Yang Songnu was afraid that Yang Guo and Yang Jun sent troops to attack Xia Zhi at the same time, so that he had to divide his troops to resist two attacks at the same time.

According to the current scale of the Imperial Forest Army of Xiafen City, excluding the 500 men and horses at the south gate and the east gate, the 500 men and horses protecting themselves, and the reserve of 1,000 mobile patrol troops, the remaining troops that can be deployed at the west gate and the north gate are only 3,000 men and horses, and according to the number of rebel armies outside the west gate and the north gate, 2,000 soldiers and horses will be deployed outside the west gate, so that the royal forest army deployed at the north gate will only have 1,000 men and horses.

Yang Guo is eager for revenge, just with a thousand Royal Forest Army to defend the north gate, how long can he resist Yang Guo's 5,000 army, Yang Songnu really doesn't dare to estimate too much.

Just when Yang Songnu and his henchmen were thinking about how to resist the rebel army, Huang Fuming was thinking about a way to get out, after all, at this time, Yang Guo and Yang Jun's rebel army had already arrived in the city, and the civil war of Qiu Chi was about to break out, and the secret mission he accepted was also excellently completed, at this moment, he didn't want to stay in Xiafen City, so as not to become Yang Songnu's funeral object.

But after all, he had already accepted Yang Songnu's position as the protector of the army, and Yang Songnu also sent fifty soldiers to protect his surroundings day and night in the name of safety, so that his movements were not greatly restricted.

Huangfu knew that Yang Songnu's protection of himself was fake, and sending troops to monitor him was the real purpose, after all, he had always refused to tell his true identity, which would inevitably make Yang Songnu suspicious.

Yang Songnu sent his cronies to monitor in the name of protecting Huang Fuming, which is a very clever means, in this way, not only can Huang Fuming be monitored in a righteous and bright way, but also Huang Fuming can't find a reason to oppose surveillance, after all, the political situation in the city has changed abruptly, and the security is not ordinarily bad, Yang Songnu sent soldiers to protect Huang Fuming, also out of a concern, how could Huang Fuming refuse?

At this moment, in order to prevent the siege of the rebel army outside the city, the Imperial Forest Army on the city wall is building defensive fortifications, and some people in the city are also requisitioned to help the Royal Forest Army carry some rolling logs and stones for defending the city.

Yang Songnu looked at Liang Shiwang beside him and said softly: "The defense of the north gate is the key, we must prepare enough rolling wood and stones, and the women's wall must also be reinforced." ”

"Cousin, the west gate direction is the main force of the rebels, why is the north gate the focus of defense." King Liang asked puzzled.

Yang Songnu glared at King Liang Shi, and said with a straight face: "Yang Guo has an enmity with me, and he must go all out to attack the city, and Yang Jun is just sending troops to support, even if he breaks through the city, he will not be able to sit in the position of Qiu Chi Gong, will he fight with me to the end?" ”

Liang Shiwang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's still my cousin's foresight, I will urge the North Gate Imperial Forest Army to defend with all its might." ”

Yang Songnu nodded, looked at Huangfu Ming behind him, and asked softly: "Huangfu Military Division, now that the two rebel troops are pressing the border, you have a better way to repel the rebels." ”

Huangfu was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was worried that he had no chance to get out? Since Yang Songnu asked himself for advice, he naturally wanted to use this opportunity to create a chance for himself to get out.

In order to show that he was not premeditated, Huang Fuming frowned and sighed in front of Yang Songnu, and after thinking for a long time, he hugged his fists and replied: "At present, the two rebels have sufficient troops, and with the strength of our army, no matter what method is adopted, they will not be able to repel the rebels, and they can only defend the city with all their might, unless they ......."

"Unless what?" Yang Songnu hurriedly asked, his eyes full of anticipation.

Huangfu Ming said: "Unless there are reinforcements to rescue, otherwise, the city of Xia Cheng will fall sooner or later." ”

When Yang Songnu heard this, his face showed a trace of displeasure, what Huang Fuming said was nonsense, he had already thought of this, and even sent his cronies to Nanzheng City to beg Hua'an for reinforcements.

Seeing Yang Songnu's unhappy expression, Huang Fuming continued: "I am a native of Shuzhong, and I know the situation in Liangzhou well, and there are no officials in Nanzheng City who I don't know, if I let Zai go to Liangzhou in person, I will definitely be able to persuade the generals of the Jin army to reinforce Xia Zhicheng, and only in this way can our army repel the two rebels outside the city." ”

"The military advisor can really convince the generals of the Jin army to reinforce our army." Yang Songnu's eyes widened and asked.

Seeing that Yang Songnu was really a little moved, Huang Fuming hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "At least more than ninety percent of the certainty, or even ten percent." ”

"Okay, great." Yang Songnu was very happy in his heart, thought carefully for a moment, and was a little worried, after all, Huang Fuming's identity is very mysterious, if he took this opportunity to slip away, wouldn't he call the earth and the earth ineffective every day, and let Huang Fuming leave, there is always a sense of adventure.

"Haha! The military advisor is Ben Gong's right and left hand, and now that the rebels are about to attack the city, Ben Gong still has a lot of things to discuss with the military advisor? If the military advisor leaves Xiafen City for many days, and the prince encounters a tricky matter, he doesn't know who to discuss it with, since the military advisor is familiar with the Liangzhou officials, it is better to write a few more letters and send them, why do you need to work hard in person. Yang Songnu smiled and refused Huang Fuming's departure.

When Huangfu heard this, he secretly complained in his heart, but he couldn't express it too obviously, so he had to say softly: "In this case, I will write a letter and send it below, but many things can not be said clearly in a few words, or say it in person, the effect is better!" After saying that, he had a regretful expression.

When Yang Songnu heard this, he smiled, and had no intention of changing his mind, because he had already sent his cronies to Nanzheng, and gave Hua'an a great promise, including ceding several county towns of Qiuchi to Hua'an, and providing Hua'an with a large number of gifts every year, including horses, cattle and sheep, native products, gold and silver jewelry, etc.

These gifts were all given to Hua'an personally, and Yang Songnu felt that with such favorable conditions, Hua'an would most likely not refuse his good intentions, and it was very likely that he would send a large army to support him.

After inspecting the city wall of the North Gate, Yang Songnu took a group of people to inspect the direction of the West Gate, outside the West Gate is Yang Jun's main army, the strength is extremely strong, although, Yang Songnu thinks that Yang Jun will not work too hard for Yang Guo, but after all, Yang Jun has 10,000 main forces under his command, even if it is a symbolic attack, the power cannot be underestimated, for this reason, he must deploy two thousand soldiers and horses in the direction of the West Gate to ensure the safety of the West Gate.
