A young general sitting on Liu Shaoqing's right hand, the green tendons on his forehead twitched, looked at Liu Shaoqing and said, "City Lord, ......"

However, as soon as the young general spoke, he was blocked by Liu Shaoqing's words and couldn't say a word, "Don't worry, as long as we work together." Regardless of whether the enemy is from the south or the north, we can hold out until the end......"

For more than half an hour, Liu Shaoqing's mouth never stopped. What came out of his mouth was nothing more than inspiring words. However, these generals in the council hall have probably heard such words many times, and at this time, there is no other superfluous expression except for the helplessness on their faces.

Several generals wanted to interrupt Liu Shaoqing's words halfway, but they were just getting up and were suppressed by Liu Shaoqing's impassioned words. Those people opened their mouths and wanted to continue, but in the middle of Liu Shaoqing's words, they couldn't find a gap to interject.

Xiao Zhihan was also annoyed by Liu Shaoqing's words and lost his patience, and his face became more and more dark. Yan Xi was on the side, watching with relish. Especially after seeing the contrast of the faces of everyone in the conference hall, he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Liu Shaoqing probably said that he was thirsty, and finally stopped. Picking up the teacup on the table, he poured a cup of tea down.

After turning his head and seeing Xiao Zhihan, whose face was black and the bottom of the pot, Liu Shaoqing smiled a little embarrassedly, and was about to speak, when Zhao Xun on the side hurriedly said, "I don't know how many reinforcements the prince brought this time?" ”

Xiao Zhihan looked at the concerned eyes of everyone in the conference hall, and stretched out his five fingers to gesture.

"Fifty thousand troops?" A general said with some disappointment, "There are a total of 200,000 troops under the command of the king of Southern Xinjiang, and these 50,000 troops are not enough!" ”

Liu Shaoqing's lips moved, and the other general immediately snatched the conversation again, "It's not a lot, the vanguard of the king of Southern Xinjiang has a total of 70,000 troops, and the reinforcements brought by the prince, plus the defenders of Wan'an City, can also support it for a while." Perhaps, there is still backup in the capital. ”

Zheng Nan saw several generals discussing, looked at Xiao Zhihan's somewhat darkened face, and hurriedly gave those generals a look.

Seeing Zheng Nan's eyes, and then looking at Xiao Zhihan's face, several generals suddenly realized and said, "Did the prince actually bring 500,000 troops?" There is no problem with this, it is a trivial matter to go directly to the lair of the king of southern Xinjiang! ”

"Isn't it, 500,000 troops against the 200,000 army of the king of Shangnan Xinjiang is not as easy as chopping melons and vegetables."

"That's not right, where did the 500,000 army come from in the capital? Even if you add up all the men and horses of the city defense battalion, the janissary battalion, and the eastern and western battalions, you can only make up 100,000 at most! ”

……

Listening to the discussion of these generals, Yan Xi's smile became brighter and brighter, and Xiao Zhihan's face became darker and darker. Zheng Nan, who was worried that Xiao Zhihan would be angry, said to the rising generals who were discussing, "A few generals are too worried, the reinforcements brought by the prince this time are five thousand elites drawn from the eastern and western camps, and now they are temporarily incorporated into the garrison of Wan'an City. ”

The chamber fell silent for a moment, and if a needle had dropped on the ground at this time, I was afraid that I would be able to hear it clearly.

The generals who were discussing how to enter the lair of the king of Southern Xinjiang looked at Zheng Nan with a face full of disbelief.

5,000 soldiers? What about even elite soldiers? The vanguard of the king of southern Xinjiang has 70,000 soldiers and horses! Even if they have killed a lot of people these days, there are still at least 50,000 or so people!

Liu Shaoqing's face was also stagnant, he looked at Xiao Zhihan, and saw that Xiao Zhihan didn't mean to deny it, Liu Shaoqing only felt that his chest was pressed by a thousand-pound boulder, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

"It's ridiculous! The king of southern Xinjiang has a total of 200,000 troops, and the capital has sent us 5,000 reinforcements, what a joke! ”

"Isn't this sending us to death? Instead of dying on the battlefield in such an aggrieved way, we might as well abandon the city and hide with our family! When the time comes, Wan'an City will be broken, and the southern Xinjiang army will attack the capital like a bamboo, see what they do! ”

……

After the silence, the noise could not be stopped, and all the generals were like fried-up lions, their faces full of cruelty.

The reason why they worked hard for a full month was that they were looking forward to reinforcements coming over and beating the army back in southern Xinjiang? But they waited left and right and waited for 5,000 people, so how could they fight?

Liu Shaoqing picked up the teacup that had just been filled with tea on the table and took another sip of tea. He took a breath and said loudly, "Everyone, don't be impatient! ”

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Shaoqing continued, "What's wrong with the five thousand elite soldiers? Can't 5,000 elite soldiers fight? Listen, what are you talking about? Abandoned city? Let the southern Xinjiang army attack the capital directly? If such a thing really happens, even if you live for a while, what face do you plan to use to see your ancestors and ancestors after you die? ”

Listening to Liu Shaoqing's words, the generals in the council hall gradually calmed down.

Liu Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You know better than anyone that Wan'an City must not be lost!" Once Wan'an City misses, it will be our own sisters and daughters who will be robbed of being someone else's daughter-in-law! In order not to cause distress to the loved ones at home......"

A good remark was said by Liu Shaoqing, and it turned into a long chicken soup. The generals in the council hall, look at me, I look at you, everyone looks like they regretted not doing their job!

Why did they say those venting words quickly, but now it's okay, they were caught talking by their city lord, and they started to talk at length again.

At this moment, a notice came from outside the council hall, "Lord of the city, there are a few people outside the city who say that they are reinforcements from the capital, and we dare not let them go at will, so I have come to ask for instructions." ”

Everyone in the council hall looked at each other.

Could it be that the capital really sent other reinforcements to come? The 5,000 people that Xiao Zhihan brought with him are just the vanguard?

Yan Xi heard that there were a few people outside the city, and instantly reacted to who that person was. looked at Xiao Zhihan and smiled narrowly.

"Lord Wang, do you know who is coming?" Liu Shaoqing also had a questioning face, inadvertently glanced at Yan Xi's expression, turned his head to look at Xiao Zhihan and asked.

"I don't know." Xiao Zhihan shook his head.

The people in the council hall discussed and discussed, and finally decided that it would be better to go to the castle tower to have a look.

Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan, as the reinforcements of the capital who arrived in Wan'an City first, naturally went over to recognize people together.

When I arrived at the top of the city tower, I saw a few dusty people riding tired horses foaming at the mouth, waiting under the city tower with impatient faces.

The man at the head of the group had no clothes on his body for a long time, and his face and hands were stained with a thick layer of dust. The man probably couldn't stand the thick dust on his body, and kept wiping his cheeks with his sleeves. But it's good that he doesn't wipe it, but when he wipes it, he wipes the dust off his face, making him even more embarrassed.

"On the tower of the city is the guard of Wan'an City, and this official is a reinforcement in the capital, so you don't open the door quickly and welcome this official in." Seeing that there was movement on the tower, the man at the head of the tower immediately shouted loudly at the tower.

"I don't know what kind of reinforcements Your Excellency is? Where is the army? Without waiting for Liu Shaoqing to speak, Zheng Nan on the side asked out loud.

"This official is the supervising army under the command of King Ming, and King Ming has led a large army into the city first! You can't wait to open the gates of the city. Fang Qi said impatiently.

He set off more than half an hour later than Xiao Zhihan and them, and he shouldn't have arrived in Wan'an City so late. However, they are not familiar with the road to Wan'an City, and they have diverged several times, and they have been delayed for three or two, and they are now here.

"Lord Wang, do you know this person downstairs?" Liu Shaoqing looked at Xiao Zhihan and asked.

Xiao Zhihan looked under the city wall, looked at it for a long time, shook his head, and said, "The prison army is indeed separated from us, but this person under the city can't see the appearance clearly, and this king doesn't dare to confirm whether it is the prison army." In case it was a spy sent by southern Xinjiang, I was afraid that something would be wrong with putting him in the city like this. ”

"This ......" Hearing Xiao Zhihan say this, Liu Shaoqing and the others couldn't help but hesitate.

In order to capture Wan'an City, the people of southern Xinjiang did not put spies in the city. If it is really as Xiao Zhihan said, it is not the prison military Qi who supports this person, but the spies of the people in southern Xinjiang. While they put down the drawbridge, the lurking southern Xinjiang army rushed into the city, and the gains outweighed the losses.

After thinking about it, Liu Shaoqing gave Zheng Nan a look. Seeing Liu Shaoqing's expression, Zheng Nan continued to ask downstairs, "You said that you are the master of the prison army, but what evidence do you have?" ”

Fang Qi, who was downstairs in the city, only felt full of anger at this time. When he was taking a bath, he was told that Xiao Zhihan had led the army to pull out, and he was in a hurry to catch up, and he left all his belongings by the river. At this time, there was nothing on his body, and there was no evidence to prove his identity.

If it was somewhere else, Fang Qi could have slowly figured out a way to prove his identity before entering the city. But this is outside Wan'an City, where people from southern Xinjiang will come at any time! In case he hadn't entered the city before the southern Xinjiang people called, then his net worth and life would have been explained here.

"What about His Royal Highness King Ming? If you ask him to come over, he will naturally know the identity of this prison army. Fang Qi bit it and said.

"This king can't even see your face clearly, how can I know if you are Fang Jian Jun!" Xiao Zhi's cold voice came out, making Fang Qi under the city stunned.

"His Royal Highness King Ming, this prison army is personally appointed by the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you lock me outside the good night city, in case something goes wrong, how do you plan to explain to the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince?" Fang Qi raised his head, looked at Xiao Zhihan above the city tower, and asked sharply.

"You can't produce any evidence, so how can this king confirm it? If you are a spy in the southern Xinjiang, Wan'an City will be lost because of you, and this king will not be able to explain to the emperor and the crown prince! Xiao Zhi snorted coldly and retorted uncontrollably.

The two waves of people up and down the city tower were at a stalemate because of Fang Qi's identity, and the guards of Wan'an City were also embarrassed, not knowing what to do now.

Don't let people enter the city, in case that person is really the prisoner of the army, they will offend the emperor and the crown prince.

But if this person is put into the city, if he is a spy in the southern Xinjiang, Wan'an City will be lost, and they will be sorry for the people of the world.

When these generals in Wan'an City were in danger, Yan Xi smiled and said, "I have a plan, maybe I can do it." ”
