After the prince returned to the house, he did not let the lamp on, and leaned silently on the couch, looking at the roof, his face sinking like water.

Ten years ago.

The Qi family army swept through the territory of the Emperor and went north to Xijing, and now the saint, the head of the Qi family at that time, the Qi family army led Qi Jin to be high-spirited and ambitious, intending to capture Xijing in one fell swoop, capture the emperor alive, and dominate the world.

However, the Xijing army has many high walls, and the Qi army has besieged the city for three months, and it is still difficult to take it.

On this day, he led the generals to inspect the siege of Xijing. Just as he was pointing at the generals, a powerful crossbow shot from the city wall, hitting Qi Jin's chest. Standing on the city wall, Emperor Lu laughed and said, "Qi Jin Pifu! Suffer death! ”

Before Qi Fu fainted, he gritted his teeth and said to Zi Hao who was holding him and Zi Rui who was guarding the side: "Wait and listen, whoever will attack Xijing first, capture the emperor alive, and who will be the crown prince after the establishment of the dynasty!" ”

Two strong armies, Zihao's Haoran army is in the south of Xijing City, and Zirui's Ruiwei army is in the north of Xijing City, tightly surrounding the city gates in both directions of Xijing.

At this moment, an urgent report came from Shanyuan, and Peng Xiang, the brother of Emperor Peng Guifei, gathered 100,000 remnants of Emperor Er's army and went to Shanyuan, wanting to carry out the plan of "besieging Wei to save Zhao" and relieve Xijing's distress.

Qi Zihao was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were foaming. Counsel with the generals in the tent. Most of the generals fought with Zihao in the north and south, and died for life. Now that it is difficult to hit Xijing City, no one wants to bring troops back to the mountains at this time.

The tent door flashed, and Qi Xi opened the curtain and came in.

Zihao suppressed the anxiety in his heart, stepped forward, held her hand, and pulled her to sit down in front of the main seat. Said: "Xi'er came just in time, can you tell me who to send back to the mountain plain." ”

Xi'er shook Zihao's hands back, pondered for a moment, swept her gaze over the faces of each general, and asked, "What is your opinion?" ”

The generals in the tent stood up one after another to salute. For this seventeen-year-old female general and her women's army, everyone admires it from the bottom of their hearts.

At the beginning of the uprising, Qi Xi stayed in the mountains to raise money, food, and military expenses, and miraculously incorporated the largest rebel army with tens of thousands of people. He also trained the women who were willing to join the army into a strong army, leveled the south, and laid a solid rear for the Qi army.

Three days ago, he escorted grain and grass to the Xijing Formation, stabilizing the morale of the army.

At this time, when they saw her asking, they all looked at Qi Zihao.

Qi Zihao said: "Shanyuan must return to help, but the momentum of the siege of Xijing has just formed, and once the Haoran army and the Ruiwei army come to help, it will inevitably have an irreversible impact on the siege of Xijing." It is reported that there are 200,000 defenders in Xijing, and the walls are strong, and my father has made up his mind that he will not fall short again. The Haoran army still has defenders in Gangneung, and the only way to think about it is to transfer the defenders of Gangneung to go quickly. It's not far from the mountain. ”

Qi Xi looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "Jiangling is the granary of my Qi family's army, and the defenders are less than 50,000. Transferring troops to go, firstly, the troops are too small, and secondly, if they are attacked by the enemy, the Qi family's army will lose its grain and grass, and the army's morale will be unstable. ”

Zihao frowned and said nothing.

Qi Xi looked at Zihao distressedly. On that plain and handsome face, the beard is not shaved now, and there is a string of burning bubbles on the side of the mouth, and it is in a state of cangsang.

Qi Xi pursed his lips and said: "Brother Zihao doesn't need to worry, Xi'er is willing to lead the Niangzi Army back to aid Shanyuan, and the Haoran Army and the Ruiwei Army are still encircling Xijing and not moving." ”

Qi Zihao categorically vetoed: "Xi'er can't!" You have only been there for three days, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, Peng Xiang's 100,000 army is coming, and if the 70,000 troops of the women's army want to come back to help, they will travel thousands of miles, and they will not be his opponents, this is too dangerous! ”

Qi Xi said patiently: "It's okay, the urgent report said that Peng Xiang will not arrive in about ten days." And I estimate that it will take seven days to reach Fengming Mountain near the mountain plain, and there are still three days to prepare. Besides, I'm more familiar with the terrain than he is, so I should be fine. If there is any change, it will be reported to you. ”

The generals under the account also felt that this plan was feasible. Helplessly, Zihao never agreed. Qi Xi hurriedly said: "Time waits for no one, the original Qi family is old and weak, and there is an ancestral shrine, there is no room for loss, the two evils are right, take the lesser, Zihao must not have the benevolence of a woman!" ”

Zihao knew in his heart that this might be the best way. But over the years, Qi Xi has gathered less with him and left more, looking at the tired face of this beautiful girl, his heart throbbed. Since she was a child, she has been in his heart, and she is reluctant to be hurt in the slightest. But this girl is just like strategy, and her kung fu is slightly inferior to Zihao. For this reason they are often divided.

Qi Xi waved his hand to let everyone go down. When there were only two people left in the big tent, Qi Xi grinned and tugged at Zihao's sleeve, and said delicately: "Brother Zihao, Xi'er has a thousand furrows in her chest, so don't be your mother-in-law." ”

Zihao changed his appearance as a general when he faced no one, and Qi Xi, who was like a little daughter, couldn't cry or laugh: "Is this my mother-in-law?" It's a big battle! Don't mess around! ”

Qi Xi pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "What am I messing around!" Otherwise, what else can you do? ”

Zihao really had no choice but to be silent. Qi Xi waved his hand, stomped his foot and said, "If Brother Zirui is here, he will never stop me!" ”

When Zihao heard this, he was unhappy and said, "He has always messed around with you!" I've been working as a proton for two years, how many stories have you two made up? I don't know? ”

Qi Xi rolled his eyes and muttered quietly: "I didn't make much trouble...... Well, you shouldn't or shouldn't?"

Zihao still didn't speak. At this time, Qi Zirui sent someone to report, saying that he wanted to go south to rescue. Qi Xi hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zihao! ”

Zihao had to sigh: "Okay! Go south! Remember, if something is wrong, report it in time! The person who Qi Zirui said sharply: "Tell Zirui that he will guard the north of Xijing well, and if he lets go of Emperor Er, he will go to his father's bed to ask for guilt!" ”

The visitor answered, turned and left. Qi Xi also jumped up and was about to leave. Zihao shouted: "Come back!" ”

Qi Xi turned around. Zihao looked at Qi Xi deeply and said, "Xi'er, when I step into Xijing, I will promise you great glory." ”

Qi Xi paused, smiled, and said, "In this way, Xi'er will return to the mountains and wait for Brother Zihao to triumph!" "Strode away.

Seven days after Xi'er left.

On a stormy night, Heng Niang was covered in muddy water, and returned to the mountain plain without sleep for two days and two nights, saying that Qi Xi had found that Peng Xiang's army had changed, and he actually promised the ten border cities of Tongguan to the Shanrong clan in exchange for 100,000 Shanrong soldiers and horses, and a total of 200,000 Peng Xiang committed the mountain plain, and the women's army was difficult to compete with. Wang Zihao either sent the Jiangling defenders or drew reinforcements from the siege of Xijing. Count the time, I am afraid that the women's army will meet Peng Jun soon.

Zi Hao hit his heart hard and sat down on the chair.

Heng Niang hurriedly said: "Please make arrangements quickly to save the mountain and save the women's army!" After saying that, he fainted.

Zihao asked someone to carry Hengniang to rest, and urgently dispatched troops and horses to go south in person.

Who knew that Li Xu came to his tent with the city defense map and told him that within three days, Peng Guifei would change the defense of Xijing City. Moreover, Li Xu's brother Li Xiaojie has trapped Emperor Ji in the inner city of the imperial city, although he can't attack, Emperor Ji can't get out.

Li Xu anxiously persuaded him: "Zihao, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come back again." The general has besieged Xijing for many days, how can he fall short? Besides, the Gangneung army is closer to the mountain plains, you can send a safe person to send the talismans, and let them gallop to the aid of Qi Xi, and the two will not be delayed, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Also, the city gate with the weakest city defense is surrounded by the Haoran army, and the Ruiwei army guards the back city of Xijing, and there is no enemy weakness, so there is no need to attack the city. As long as a part of the soldiers is sent to defend the north of Xijing City, so as to prevent the remnants of Emperor Erdi from escaping. In this way, the Ruiwei army can also be partially dispatched south. Coupled with the Gangneung defenders, the two armies should be fine when they return to the aid of Sanwon. ”

Deng Qi, the captain of his personal guard, also advised him: "The last general is willing to go to Jiangling, and the general can rest assured!" ”

Zihao was helpless, and hurriedly handed over the talisman to Deng Qi, and repeatedly instructed him to go to Jiangling overnight, and there must be no mistake. He also sent scouts to inform Zirui of the plan.

After arranging, Zi Hao's eyes were red, he drew out his arrow, and shouted: "Siege!" ”

The leading soldiers rushed out of the tent and rushed to the front of the army.

He never expected that the scout sent to the Ruiwei Army to give orders fainted on the road for some reason, and when Zirui knew that Qi Xi was in an emergency and hurriedly returned to the mountain, it was already four days later.

Xijing City was attacked for ten days, Zihao stepped into Xijing to capture Emperor Er, and almost didn't stop for a moment before only taking his personal guards south.

However, it was too late!

In a rage, he wanted to kill the commander of the Jiangling garrison who could not be rescued, only to know that they had never seen Deng Qi at all, and he had no idea about Zihao's order.

Deng Qi disappeared along with the soldier talisman.

Although he defeated Peng Xiang under his horse, defeated the enemy, and protected the mountains and the Qi family, his life and death were unknown.

At that time, there were more than 100,000 dead bodies on the battlefield, and Xi'er couldn't even find the bones.

Since then, Zihao's heart has been missing, and the cold wind has poured all day long, and there is no trace of temperature.

However, he is the crown prince, the height of the temple, the weight of the society, the breadth of the country, and the expectations of the people, he cannot be allowed to act recklessly and recklessly.
