"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's withdraw to Hongnong as soon as possible and join forces with Commander Jin." Liu Mianyi said with a gloomy face.

Shen Xiping and Ning Xi both nodded, gathered their people, and looked in the direction of Hongnong.

···

In the past few days, the offensive momentum of the rebels has gradually stopped, which makes Jin Shichang a little puzzled, why did the rebels who said that they were good at the end of their lives?

You must know that in terms of the strength of the two sides, the rebels still have the advantage.

Ning Shiguang didn't know either, as far as the enemy forces were everywhere at the moment, the spies they sent out couldn't find any news back.

Both of them looked at Xian Jingyu and asked, "Commander Xian, what do you think?" ”

Xian Jingyu, who was accustomed to silence, pursed his lips and said, "My family adults have said that whenever a storm comes, there will always be a period of calm. ”

The two of them were stunned: "Commander Xian means what big moves are the rebels doing?" ”

Xian Jingyu nodded.

At this moment, a soldier rushed in and said, "Report, Great Commander, our soldiers and horses have appeared outside the West City." ”

Jin Shichang was stunned for a moment, and stood up directly: "Could it be that the reinforcements from Daxing City have arrived?" ”

Ning Shiguang was also stunned for a moment: "But, in Daxing City, is there anyone who can be in charge?" It can't be Li Xian's guy. ”

Speaking of Li Xian, Kim Se-chang's face was full of disdain; "That's a waste, relying on his qualifications to get into the position of the commander of the Wei University, even if there is no one in the court to send, His Majesty will definitely not send him over."

As he spoke, he asked the soldier, "Have you ever seen the flag of the reinforcements?" ”

"See, it's a king word."

Jin Shichang was stunned when he heard this: "Wang? How many generals are there in the court? Could it be Captain Guoyi Wang Chong? Or is it Wang He, the squire of the military department? ”

Ning Shiguang shook his head: "I don't know, but these two are general, even if Your Majesty wants to send reinforcements, it shouldn't let the two of them come, these two people will only make trouble, and they are useless." ”

"Is there still a great commander surnamed Wang in the court?"

"Possibly..." Ning Shiguang suddenly remembered a person, and hissed at that time, but he shook his head again: "No, Your Majesty shouldn't have sent him over." ”

Jin Shichang wondered: "Brother Ning, who are you talking about?" ”

"In the waiting, Wang Xiaolai." Ning Shiguang raised his head and said.

Jin Shichang immediately frowned: "Don't be him, if he dies, he will make money, make a cameo appearance as a businessman, how can he be the marshal of the three armies." ”

In front of Xian Jingyu, Jin Shichang can be regarded as saving face.

Ning Shiguang said: "No matter what, let's go and have a look." ”

Jin Shichang had no choice but to order the soldier: "Go, give the order to open the west gate and welcome reinforcements into the city." ”

As he spoke, he got up and went out of the city with Ning Shiguang and Xian Jingyu.

When Wang Xiaolai appeared in the field of vision of the two on a horse, it really scared these two people, Jin Shichang frowned even more, looked at Ning Shiguang and said: "It's really him, what should I do, can I really let him be the marshal?" ”

Ning Shiguang hesitated for a moment: "Anyway, Brother Wang was also sent by His Majesty, what can you do." ”

"Let's talk about it first, although the two of us have a good personal relationship with him, but if he Wang Xiaolai commands indiscriminately, when the time comes, I won't give him face."

Ning Shiguang looked at Jin Shichang, and always felt that this sentence was not what he originally meant, so he could only sigh and say, "Let's talk about it then." ”

Jin Shichang snorted, then raised his head, and while beating Wang Xiaolai, he also raised a smile: "Yo, Brother Wang, it's really you." ”

Wang Xiaojian also laughed when he saw the two, urged him to step forward, came down to him, and arched his hand: "Brother Jin, Brother Ning, don't come to harm." ”

The two looked at each other when they heard this, and Jin Shichang even said in his heart that there was a little bit of a marshal.

He was also embarrassed to say, just looked at Wang Xiaolai, and asked knowingly: "Brother Wang, who are you?" ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Your Majesty sent me to take command and lead the whole army to conquer Zhao Sui, this is Your Majesty's seal sword." ”

Wang Xiao said, and took out the seal ribbon sword that the empress gave him when he came.

Jin Shichang and Ning Shiguang looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to dismount and kneel: "The last general Jin Shichang (Ning Shiguang), see Marshal!" ”

The reaction of the two made Wang Xiaolai stunned for no reason, and hurriedly helped the two of them up: "Two, what are you doing?" ”

Ning Shiguang raised his head: "The iron order that the Eighth Prince made at the beginning was ruthless in the army, only up and down. ”

Wang Xiaolai understood, and after a sigh, he said: "Hurry up and enter the city, hurry up and enter the city." ”

An army of 100,000 was introduced into the city, and Xian Jingyu came to see Wang Xiaolai, who patted him on the shoulder and boasted: "You have worked hard these days, and you have done a good job." ”

Xian Jingyu pursed his lips and did not speak.

Wang Xiaolai sat on the handsome case, looking at the sand table on the handsome hall, Ning Shiguang explained: "Since the last summer performance, His Majesty has ordered the army to use the sand table to command. ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded, looked at the map on the sand table, found the location of Hongnong, and looked at the strength distribution point of the rebels, but found that only a few rebels around Hongnong City were marked, and the rest, like all parts of Yuzhou, were blank.

Wang Xiaolai pointed to it and said, "Why is there no news of the enemy here?" ”

"It's such a marshal, the entire territory of Yuzhou has fallen into the hands of Zhao Sui, and our spies can't get in at all."

Wang Xiaolai glanced at Xian Jingyu.

Xian Jingyu immediately understood and turned around.

Ning Shiguang was still puzzled and asked, "What is Commander Xian doing here?" ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed, lowered his head and looked back and forth on the sand table, and said: "Jingyu served as a scout in the Northern Army earlier, and he is very good at finding out news. ”

Jin and Ning looked at each other, but they didn't speak, but in the former's heart, they were a little unhappy, what? I don't know if it's okay to say that I am in charge of this time, and at the same time, in Jin Shichang's heart, he also complained that Wang Xiaolai was not authentic.

"Here, how come there is still one of our men?" Wang Xiaolai suddenly pointed to Yingchuan's location and asked.

Jin Ning and the others came up to take a look, and said: "That's Liu Mianyi and Shen Xiping, the lone army led by the three of Ning Xi, who has been trapped in Yingchuan for twenty days now. ”

"They've been trapped for so long? You didn't think to save it? Wang Xiaolai asked.

The two looked at each other, and said in their hearts, Wang Xiaolai, do you understand military affairs, it is a lone army that goes deep into the enemy's hinterland, how to save it? If you save him, do you want Hongnong anymore?

Wang Xiao saw the expressions of the two and almost knew what they were thinking, and didn't say much else, but stretched his waist and stood up straight, so he changed the topic and said, "How are the rebels attacking Hongnong these days?" ”

Jin Shichang reluctantly said under Ning Shiguang's signal: "It's better these days, the past few days were a non-stop attack, not giving us a chance to breathe, fortunately, they couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the momentum of the attack, and now, it has been seven or eight days." ”

Wang Xiao looked at them: "So, the rebels haven't attacked again for seven or eight days?" ”

"Yes, there is, but it's all petty fights, and they retreat after a few hits."

"Have you gone out to see how things are going?"

Jin Shichang and Ning Shiguang glanced at each other, then shook their heads.

Wang Xiaolai slapped his thigh: "I know." ”

The two of them said to themselves, "What do you know?"

Wang Xiaolai kept knocking on the upper and lower gums, gnawed on his mouth, and suddenly raised his head: "The main force of the rebels is no longer on the side of Hongnong now." ”

When the words fell, Jin and Ning were shocked: "What? No way! ”

Wang Xiaolai glanced at the two: "How is it impossible?" ”

"The main force of the rebels is not in Hongnong, where is it?" Kim Shichang asked.

Wang Xiaolai pointed to Yingchuan's position with his chin: "Oh, it's there." ”

"What does the marshal mean, did the main force of the rebels go to Yingchuan?" Ning Shiguang hesitated for a moment and asked.

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "If it were me, when I fought with someone, I would also deal with the threat behind me." He Zhao Sui fought so fiercely before, just to give you the strength to swear to take Hongnong. Now that it's stopped, you just thought that the rebels were tired, but as everyone knows, Zhao Sui just wants you to think like this. Because, he has now brought people to deal with Liu Mianyi and them. Moreover, the most important proof is that when I entered the city, the rebels did not even react at all. Although I came in from Xicheng, I didn't even see a single spy along the way, if the main force of the rebels was really here, do you think they would not even send a single spy? ”

Jin Shichang and Ning Shiguang both gasped: "Could it be that Zhao Sui really went to deal with Liu Mianyi and them." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked at the two suspiciously: "Don't talk about these days, you haven't sent a single spies out." ”

Two: "···"

Wang Xiaolai slapped the table angrily.

"It's not the marshal, isn't it the rebels who come to attack every day, so, we think..."

"That's just a small army that acts as a suspicious soldier, my God, Hongnong had 30,000 defenders before I came, so many people, you don't have the courage to go out and see what's going on, is it because you were scared by that Zhao Sui!"

The two of them bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak, but in their hearts, Jin Shichang counted Wang Xiaolai again, and said in his heart that there were so many generals in the palace, and they didn't save face.

Wang Xiaolai kept chirping: "Lao Jin, give you a task." ”

Jin Shichang sighed, and looked up with a lack of interest: "Please give the marshal orders." ”

Wang Xiaolai saw Jin Shichang's performance in his eyes, and he didn't want to say much about him, so he said: "You go out with an army now, and find out the details of the rebels outside. ”

"What if there's an ambush?" Jin Shichang asked: "Zhao Sui is treacherous and abnormal, what if it is his plan to lure the enemy?" Marshal. ”

"No, Zhao Sui is not so painful, he is more anxious than any of us to defeat Hongnong, and win the game, unless Zhao Sui is a wave, he will use such a boring strategy, besides, even if there is an ambush, Lao Ning will answer you."
