Lan Jing'an thought that on this day, Wu Daoming would also take the same strong attack as yesterday, so she tensed her mind and prepared. Unexpectedly, Wu Daoming sent a team of people to shout and persuade him to surrender from afar outside the city gate.

Sergeant Dayong, who persuaded him to surrender, shouted in unison over and over again, as long as Lan Jing'an surrendered obediently, the siege of Xiangyang could be solved immediately. At the same time, Wu Daoming also sent people to shoot a lot of arrows tied to the head of the city.

Lan Jing'an was confused by him. When Wu Daoming attacked Xiangyang for the first time two months ago, he used the trick of persuasion to surrender and was taught a hard lesson, how could he try to use the same trick at such a moment when the army was pressing?

Xie Weining stood beside Lan Jing'an and snorted lightly: "Don't think that Wu Daoming is doing useless work. Two months ago, only 10,000 or 20,000 people attacked Dayong, which is completely different from the current situation. After last night's battle, those who have lost their relatives and friends may have some thoughts. When it comes to demagoguery, he will pick the time. ”

When Feng Shen heard this, he interjected: "Wu Daoming's faith is not good, this is something that the whole world knows. Our cadres and soldiers hate him to death, how can anyone believe him? ”

Lan Jing'an thought for a moment and muttered, "You two have a point. But this Xiangyang City is not only our cadres, but also hundreds of thousands of people, whether the old enmity more than ten years ago is more important or it is more important to save their lives now, it is up to the benevolent and the wise to see the wise. Besides, the people of the city did not know that our reinforcements would arrive in a few days. ”

Lan Jing'an listened to the waves of persuasion, and his heart was very irritable. She knows how Brother Qingyun obtained Linjiang City in the first place. This time, the army pressed the border, and she could fully rely on the cadres, but if she could not fully gain the trust of the people, it would be difficult for Xiangyang to defend.

And she knows very well that Wu Daoming and Yuwen Junping are not good and faithful. Even if she is taken away by Dayong, the whole of Xiangyang may repeat the mistakes of Jiangling at the beginning. At that time, at least the entire Jingzhou cadre army will inevitably end up in annihilation.

But if now, in order to stabilize people's hearts, she announces that the reinforcements led by Jiang Shaoheng will arrive in two days, then this news will inevitably stimulate Wu Daoming and Yuwen Junping, forcing them to speed up the pace of attacking the city. The next two days will inevitably be even more difficult than yesterday, and it will also bring great pressure to Xiangyang City.

And she originally wanted to wait for Jiang Shaoheng's reinforcements to come, attack inside and outside, and catch Dayong off guard. If the news of reinforcements is announced, the other party must be prepared, and it will not be easy to beat the other party outside Xiangyang City.

Wu Daoming pushed her into a dilemma. She paced slowly along the wall, looking casually at the bottom of the wall. The people there were already whispering, and some were secretly looking up at her. She knows that people's hearts are the most volatile and cannot be delayed any longer.

She took a deep breath, turned around and said to Feng Shen: "Pass on my order and announce to the whole city that General Jiang Shaoheng is leading more than 35,000 elite soldiers to come to help, and they will arrive in a day or two." General Jiang led the Northwest Army, including the Deadly Iron Cavalry. As long as it survives these two days, the predicament of Xiangyang will be solved. ”

Feng Shen and Biluan's faces changed, and Feng Shen said hesitantly: "Think twice." Announcing the news like this, I am afraid that Dayong will attack the city even more ruthlessly. ”

Lan Jing'an said categorically: "Do as I say." Feng Shen took the order to go down. Lan Jing'an called Bi Luan aside again, and whispered: "If the situation is too difficult in the past two days, I still have a plan, you can arrange it now as I say." After that, she quietly told Biluan what she was thinking.

Bi Luan was about to cry when she heard this: "Girl, you can't be confused. You want to lead people to fight Fancheng when you can't hold on, although you can lure away some of the Dayong forces, but don't you send yourself to the door as bait? If you have any three strengths and two shortcomings, what can Xiangyang do? And what about the marshal? ”

Lan Jing'an said firmly: "I will definitely not take this step unless I have to." When that time comes, you must stay with the eldest brother and let the eldest brother support him until Jiang Shaoheng arrives. No one is allowed to go out of the city to fight, otherwise my efforts will be meaningless. ”

Xie Weining looked at Lan Jing'an from a distance, looking tenacious and ready to sacrifice his life for the country at any time. It occurred to him that maybe he had been wrong in the first place.

If when he was young, he did not relent, and insisted on taking her away; If he had been before her and her had been married, that night he had not only given gifts, but had made up his mind to marry her; If he hadn't been so greedy at the time, he set the trap that ruined the whole family of the Marquis of Dingyuan for the sake of Xia Guo; Is it that now everything will not happen.

He was the one who put her in such a dangerous situation. Xie Weining sighed, quietly lowered his head and asked Yin Quan: "Let you get it, are you done?" ”

Yin Quan was stunned, and cold sweat was about to flow down: "Lao Du was sent to send that one before, and he only came back the day before yesterday." I waited for him to come back and immediately sent the news to him, but yesterday Dayong suddenly besieged the city, and I don't know if they sent the news out. If not, isn't it a big deal? ”

Xie Weining's heart tightened, and he couldn't wait to jump to his feet. But because of others, he could only lower his voice and scolded him in a low voice: "This kind of urgency, why don't you wait for him to come back?!" You're going to kill you! ”

Yin Quan panicked and couldn't help but change color on his face. Xie Weining hurriedly pulled him: "Cheer me up." At this point, we can only take one step at a time. ”

Yin Quan hurriedly lowered his head to hide his face: "Either let's not be here now." Let's go. ”

Xie Wei smiled bitterly: "Go? Where to go? Now that Dayong is besieging the city, he can't go at all. We have been in the army for so long, even if we mix in with the civilians, there are not one or two people in Xiangyang City who know us, and they will not be good. That's it, I can be regarded as seeking benevolence, and I really have to live and die with this Xiangyang City. ”

Lan Jing'an had already walked back at this time, and she didn't hear anything else too clearly, only hearing Xie Weining's last half of "life and death with Xiangyang City".

She said to Xie Weining sincerely: "You have helped us a lot, but the situation is really bad now." I don't want to drag you down, but while the west is fine, I'll send someone to take you out of the city. Then ask Lu Min to find you a boat, and the two of you will make up as civilians, and leave quickly. ”

Xie Weining knew that she might have heard her last words and misunderstood. He shook his head, "Have you forgotten our connection?" Even if I go out, you have three longs and two shorts, I don't have a chance to live, it's better to watch you here. Cheer up, until the last moment, who can say the winner! ”

Lan Jing'an looked at the tall man beside him, and the strong wind at the head of the city blew through his robe. The mask hides his stunning beauty, but it can't hide his innate domineering as a prince. His last words invisibly lifted her. She nodded heavily: "Okay." I don't believe that Lan Jing'an will lose to Wu Daoming again! We'll be able to hold on! ”

Before Lan Jing'an turned around and left to arrange other military situations, she couldn't help but glance back at Xie Weining. Xie Weining received her complicated eyes, and his heart was shocked. Knowing that she couldn't see it, he couldn't help but smile back at her. Perhaps, she also has a place for him in her heart.
