Xuanwu Kingdom, the imperial study.

Zhuge Weiming lost his temper at the generals kneeling on the ground, "It's all a bunch of waste, and you can't keep it in the same state." ”

Listening to Zhuge Weiming's roar with anger, the generals all lowered their heads, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

Seeing that the generals all lowered their heads, Zhuge Weiming's gloomy eyes narrowed dangerously, "How many people are there in Tongzhou now?" "The damn Xiahou Xun dared to take advantage of his unpreparedness to seize him from the same state, making him lose face, this revenge must be avenged.

The general kneeling at the front immediately bowed down and said, "About 100,000 horses." ”

"Fart." When Zhuge Weiming heard this, he immediately jumped up and said angrily, "100,000 horses, are you a fool to be the king?" How many men and horses does he Xiahou Xun have, he will send so many soldiers and horses to attack a small Tongzhou. ”

When the general heard this, he immediately bowed his head in horror and said, "It's true, there are really 100,000 horses, how dare the little ones deceive the prince with this kind of thing, it is because they have a large number of men and horses, and they suddenly attacked, so we will lose the same state." ”

Zhuge Weiming frowned when he heard this, Xiahou Xun only had 200,000 soldiers and horses in total, and he would use 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Ping, could it be that there was any secret in this Tongzhou City.

Just when Zhuge Weiming was puzzled, another general ran in in a panic to report, "The prince's big thing is not good, and Ruyang is lost." ”

Zhuge Weiming's face turned cold when he heard this, and a word burst out from between his teeth, "Who?" ”

When the young general heard this, he immediately panicked and said, "It's King Zhao." ”

Hearing the word "King Zhao", Zhuge Weiming roared at the young general again, "Waste, it's all waste, there are 100,000 defenders in Ruyang, you lost to this king so easily, what are you all eating?" ”

Listening to Zhuge Weiming's roar, the young general's body couldn't help but tremble, although the young general was so scared that he couldn't do it, he had to explain hard, "There are 100,000 defenders in Ruyang, but King Zhao suddenly attacked with an army of 150,000 and caught us off guard. ”

Zhuge Wei instinctively and directly objected when he heard this, "150,000? Impossible, Xiahou Xun just captured Tongzhou with 100,000 soldiers and horses, how can there be 150,000 soldiers and horses to attack Ruyang again. "Tongzhou and Ruyang are one in the south and the other in the north, no matter how fast he Xiahou Xun is, it is impossible for 100,000 soldiers to travel 500 miles a day.

When the young general heard this, he immediately lowered his eyes in horror and said, "I don't know this little one." ”

The young general here had just finished reporting, and another general over there hurriedly entered the imperial study, "reporting ......"

Seeing that Zhuge was not clear, the general immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Qi, Jingchuan is lost." ”

When Zhuge Weiming heard this, he felt that he couldn't even breathe smoothly, so he staggered a step, looked at the general with a pale face, and said, "King Zhao again?" ”

The general was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed down and said, "It's General Lian, but the little one saw General Lian followed by Prince Zhao's military advisor Fang Pengyuan." ”

When Zhuge Weiming heard this, a line of white light flashed in his mind, it turned out to be the old horseman of Lian Taichu, no wonder Xiahou Xun had so many soldiers and horses attacking Tongzhou, Ruyang, and Jingchuan at the same time.

Tongzhou, Ruyang, Jingchuan, suddenly thought of something, Zhuge Weiming instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his face became pale, and immediately shouted at all the generals kneeling on the ground, "Return to Pingyang for this king, don't care about anything else, swear to die to defend Pingyang for this king, do you understand." ”

"Yes." As if sensing the seriousness of the situation, the generals all shouted in unison.

Then a chaotic sound of footsteps faded away, and the imperial study quickly became quiet.

Zhuge Weiming kept spinning in place impatiently, and suddenly thought of a person, Zhuge Weiming immediately yelled at the little eunuch waiting outside the door, "Come on, urgently recruit Xuanyuan Hao into the palace." ”

In less than a cup of tea, the little eunuch led Xuanyuan Hao into the imperial study.

Looking at Zhuge Weiming, who kept pacing back and forth, Xuanyuan Hao's eyebrows frowned, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"You're just in time, come and see." Seeing Xuanyuan Hao, Zhuge Weiming immediately pulled him to the table.

Xuanyuan Hao looked at the military distribution map on the table, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes, why did Zhuge Weiming, this old fox, suddenly show him such a confidential thing, is it to test him.

Just when Xuanyuan Hao was puzzled, Zhuge Weiming pointed to the three places of Tongzhou, Ruyang, and Jingchuan on the military distribution map and said to Xuanyuan Hao, "Look here, here, and here." ”

Xuanyuan Hao looked at the three places that Zhuge Weiming was referring to, and frowned, not quite understanding Zhuge Weiming's meaning.

Looking at Xuanyuan Hao's confused eyes, Zhuge Weiming took a deep breath and said, "What if this king said that these three places were captured by King Zhao's Xiahou Xun within one day today?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at the three points on the military distribution map that Zhuge Weiming had just pointed to, and instantly thought of something, and said with a stunned face, "He wants to surround you." ”

Zhuge Weiming's eyes flashed with anxiety when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Yes, if they capture Pingyang again, then the entire imperial city will be surrounded." "If he is really surrounded, then even if he succeeds in ascending the throne, he will not escape death.

Xuanyuan Hao's dark eyes flashed when he heard this, this Xiahou Xun is really a strong opponent, and he occupied the three important strongholds of Zhuge Weiming in just one day, which is not only by strength, but also by strategy.

"So what? What do you want me to do? Xuanyuan Hao looked at Zhuge Weiming and raised his eyebrows, he told him this, it was nothing more than what he wanted him to do for him, otherwise, Zhuge Weiming's temperament would never tell him these things.

Zhuge Weiming's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he raised his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Hao with a serious face, "I want you to help me keep Pingyang." "Pingyang, he must not be lost again, otherwise he will really die.

Xuanyuan Hao frowned lightly when he heard this, "As far as I know, your strength should be about the same as that of King Zhao, just a Pingyang, where do you need me to go out." ”

In the past few days in Xuanwu, he figured out the distribution of Xuanwu's troops, Zhuge Weiming and this King Zhao were evenly matched, they were also in command of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and 100,000 soldiers and horses were in the hands of the general Lian Taichu, and he finally figured out what Zhuge Weiming said on the edge of the cliff.

Zhuge Weiming's eyes flashed with a cold light when he heard this, "If there is really only Xiahou Xun's 200,000 soldiers and horses, this king will not be afraid of him, but now that Lian Taichu's old man is also helping Xiahou Xun, if there is no Lian Taichu, do you think that he Xiahou Xun can occupy my three strongholds in one day." ”

Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, it turned out to be Lian Taichu.

"You should be glad they don't have enough soldiers, if they have enough, you're already dead." The laughing voice was full of teasing.

Listening to Xuanyuan Hao's gloating voice, Zhuge Weiming was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Xuanyuan Hao and said, "How about it, can you help me?" ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao's eyes flashed with a sly light, and he sneered, "Why should I help you? If I go to Xiahou Xun now, I think he will be happy to cooperate with me. ”

When Zhuge Weiming heard this, a look of gloom flashed on his face in an instant, and he said coldly word by word, "Your conditions." ”

Hearing this, a triumphant smile flashed in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, and he hooked his lips and said, "Refreshing, after the matter is completed, you must fulfill your promise to lend me troops back to the White Tiger, and I also want ten cities in the northwest of Xuanwu." ”

Zhuge Weiming's brows furrowed sharply when he heard this, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, ten cities, his appetite is really not small, but he has no other choice now than to promise him.

Zhuge Weiming took a deep breath and calmed down his direct mood, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Xuanyuan Hao heard that the corner of his lips was hooked up by evil, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no basis for what you say, now I will draw up a holy decree." ”

Zhuge Weiming clenched his fists and clenched his teeth when he heard this, "Okay." ”

After a cup of tea, Zhuge Weiming looked at Xuanyuan Hao's arrogant back holding the holy decree, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, it has always been him Zhuge Weiming Yin others, and he has never dared to be so yin to him, the coming day is long, Xuanyuan Hao, let's see!

Outside Pingyang City, Xiahou Xun looked at the soldiers on the city wall, desperately resisting, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Wang, it seems that Pingyang City will not be able to be attacked for a while." It was Fang Pengyuan, the military advisor beside Xiahou Xun, who spoke.

Xiahou Xun's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he turned his head to look at Lian Taichu who was on the side and said, "What does General Lian think?" ”

Lian Taichu lowered his eyes when he heard this, and said, "What the military advisor said is right, these defenders are all brave, risking death and fighting, it is indeed not easy to capture Ping'an City in a short time, but the matter has come to this, we must not give up easily, and we must not leave this hole that makes Zhuge Weiming breathe." ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Xun hooked up a wicked smile on the corner of his lips, and turned his eyes to look at Fang Peng and said, "Did you hear clearly?" The order went down, and gave the king an all-out attack on Pingyang City, as long as he broke through Pingyang City, all officials would be promoted to the third level. ”

"Yes." When Fang Pengyuan heard this, he immediately took the order and left.

Soon, all the officers and soldiers in the army were boiling, and the officers were promoted to three levels, which was what they had dreamed of, and under the temptation of this huge power, all the soldiers rushed desperately towards the city gate as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Under the brave attack of the siege soldiers, the soldiers defending the city were gradually defeated, and seeing that the city gate was about to be broken, suddenly a general ran to Xiahou Xun in a panic and said, "Lord Qiqi, our army and our side have been raided by a strange army. ”

Xiahou Xun's brows furrowed sharply when he heard this, "Strange army, have you seen who is the leader?" ”

Hearing this, the general shook his head and said, "I don't know the little one." ”

Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Xiahou Xun's eyes, "How many people are there on the enemy?" ”

"About 100,000 horses."

Here, Xuanyuan Hao blocked Xiahou Xun's back road with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers on the city wall saw that reinforcements had arrived, so they no longer resisted, opened the city gate directly, and rushed out, and for a while, a scuffle broke out in an instant.

Lian Taichu looked at the army that was about to be surrounded and frowned, "The situation of the prince is not good." ”

"Withdraw." Although a hint of unwillingness flashed in Xiahou Xun's eyes, he still decisively ordered a retreat.
