"That's it, wait for the young marshal Ji to board the ship and write a letter."

"Don't be like that." Ji Changan screamed: "Let's discuss it again, I can increase the ransom to 60,000 taels, or 70,000." As long as you can give me another 10,000, 80,000 is not a problem. ”

Wen Qingyu waved his hand, and the spirit blade beside him immediately effortlessly put Ji Chang'an on the boat.

Ye Zhuoran got on the painting boat slowly, and then went straight back to his cabin. From beginning to end, I have never looked at Ji Chang'an.

That look clearly reads, I don't know who this person is.

"Ning Zhi, teach Young Marshal Ji how to write a letter. If you don't write a good sentence, you will be deducted ten taels of silver. ”

Ji Chang'an's cry was directly stuck in his throat, and then he finally raised his head to the sky and roared: "Wen Qingyu, you are a black-hearted and rotten pit goods!" ”

"Qiu Lu, tell Young Marshal Ji that his words have seriously affected my mood. So deduct twenty taels directly from the ransom. ”

Ji Chang'an's voice paused, and Qiu Lu laughed out loud.

"Young marshal, my son-in-law let me tell you, you only have nine thousand nine hundred and eighty taels of silver left."

Ji Changan opened his mouth, and it took a long time to hear a mournful cry between heaven and earth: "Dad, my son is sorry for you!" ”

By the end of the afternoon, the town had returned to its former calm.

The ornate boat was left in the town as a gift by the generous son, after which the group of strangers left.

Before they could leave, the Flying Eagle flew towards the Medicine King Valley with an urgent letter.

……

Yu Canglan leaned his back against the battlement and took a deep breath.

"Shizi, the food in the city can last for three days at most." It was the grain official in Xichang City who spoke.

Yu Canglan glanced at him, and the grain officer's eyes did not dodge for half a minute.

These days, the soldiers in the city have dealt with dozens of harassments by the Great Zhou army, large and small, and they are all very tired. Everyone seemed to be losing weight at the same time.

"I don't have to boil porridge from today." Yu Canglan looked up at the sky: "The noodles are also used to make cakes, so that everyone can eat enough." ”

The grain officer was taken aback: "If that's the case, I'm afraid that one day the city will run out of food." ”

Yu Canglan pursed her lips, and it took a long time to hear him say slowly: "Break it, break it, tonight should be the last night." ”

Zhong Xiong's eyes lit up: "The prince said so, is it because the reinforcements have arrived?" ”

"Reinforcements?" The corners of Yu Canglan's lips hooked slightly: "The Ningbei army in Linzhou City will not send troops." ”

"That'...... That. Zhong Xiong's eyes flashed: "Shizi, did you lie to us originally?" ”

When Qin Zhegang led people to cut down trees and camp on the mountain, Yu Canglan called the people in the city and the elite of the Ningbei Army to detour back to Linzhou from the mountain road.

said that they were asked to go to Linzhou to deliver a letter, and then join forces with the Linzhou army to annihilate the Zhou army.

It's been seven days, and there hasn't been any movement in Linzhou. Now Yu Canglan directly said that it is impossible for Linzhou to send troops.

So, where should everyone's hopes fall?

"I lied to you." Yu Canglan's peach blossom eyes glanced at the city gate: "Are you afraid?" ”

Seeing that the soldiers at the head of the city swallowed their saliva, they couldn't help but stick out their tongues and lick their chapped lips. There was clearly a hint of wavering on his dirty face.

Zhong Xiong frowned, a little resentful in his heart.

Even if there really would be no reinforcements, Yu Shizi should never have said it at this time. The repeated battles to defend the city have suffered heavy casualties, and now the remaining people are exhausted one by one, and they are simply the end of the crossbow.

Didn't he shake the hearts of the army when he said such things again? The army is unstable and tired, how can this battle be fought?

"There will be no reinforcements in Xichang, and there is not much food left. Sooner or later, we will all have to die, and I am afraid that we should be. In this world, no one likes to die. ”

After saying this, a gloomy cloud rose from the tower of the city gate. Whether it is a recruit or a veteran, it is a little untenable at this moment.

"But are we really willing to die like this?"

Yu Canglan's long gray fingers swept through the air, pointing straight to the camp tent of Da Zhou in the distance.

"If it weren't for them, each of us would be sleeping on a warm kang right now. Eat well and dress warmly. Maybe you can still hold the woman you love. But now we have to die. Who is the one responsible for all this? ”

Seeing everyone's bodies shook, a pair of eyes looked viciously at the dense camp tent in the distance.

"Now that we're going to die, we can't make those people any better. We have to kill one or two to bury us. At this time, killing one is enough, and killing two earns one. Even if we die, we are on our own turf. But they are uprooted from their homeland, and we do not lose. ”

After saying this, the waist of the soldiers at the head of the city gradually straightened. The soldiers downstairs at the city gate also spontaneously stopped all their movements, and looked at Yu Canglan with their eyes one by one.

Yu Canglan smiled slightly, and her face, which was even more gorgeous than a woman, was covered with a layer of black ash. But it didn't affect his unparalleled glory at all. At this moment, he became a god in everyone's hearts.

"I ask you." The peach blossom eyes were rolling, making everyone feel that Yu Canglan was looking at him at the moment.

The melodious and gorgeous fairy music voice said slowly: "You are so dead, are you losing? ”

"No loss." Quan Tai immediately raised his voice and said: "Only those beasts in the Great Zhou will feel at a loss. ”

"That's a good point." Zhong Xiong glanced at Kwon Tae and admired it very much.

On weekdays, I always feel that he has a soft temperament, and it is difficult to achieve great things. Now I didn't expect that he was the first to stand up and respond to Yu Canglan.

"Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. Lao Tzu wants to kill a happy one, so that the boys on the other side regret coming to the northwest. ”

Zhong Xiong's voice is loud and rich, very penetrating. As soon as the voice came out, it immediately resounded through the heavens and the earth. Everyone felt that they had lit a fire in their hearts.

"Captain Zhong is right, a manly husband has to be killed."

"Kill!"

The loud shouting of killing was stirring in the air, and Yu Canglan looked at the soldiers around him with satisfaction, and his eyes were stained red like blood, and then he smiled at the grain officer.

"Let's go cook, on Huangquan Road, you can't make everyone a starving ghost."

The grain officer nodded solemnly, turned around and raised his hand to wipe his eyes. He secretly made up his mind that this meal must show all his skills and make the brothers eat happily.

Qin Zhe stood on the platform, staring at Xichang City, which looked tattered and inconspicuous in the distance, without blinking. There was an undisguised solemnity in the depths of his eyes.

"Guogong." The adjutant general leaned towards him: "The prison army is urging the siege again." ”

The solemnity in Qin Zhe's eyes deepened a little, and he nodded after a long time: "Well, it's almost." ”

A trace of puzzlement flashed on the adjutant general's face, what is it almost the same?

Before he could react, where was there a figure on the high platform in front of him? Turning his head, he didn't know when Qin Zhe had already gotten off the high platform, and at this time, he was already about to walk to the Zhongjun tent.

The adjutant general's eyes flashed, was Guogong too fast, or was he distracted? Why is it that people are so far away from him in the blink of an eye?

In other words, this siege battle in Xichang is full of weirdness.

It was obviously an inconspicuous small city, and the 200,000 troops stationed there attacked the city in shifts, but they did not capture it for several days. Guogong is obviously the vanguard of the imperial gift, but he has to listen to a prison officer in everything.

After lunch today, Guogong stayed alone on the Dianjiang platform, ignoring anyone's call, and stayed for an afternoon. How is it that in the blink of an eye, it comes down again?

"Not leaving?"

Qin Zhe paused, and saw that the deputy general did not follow him, but was in a daze at the general's platform alone, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Ah, yes." The lieutenant immediately came back to his senses and chased after him in three or two steps.

After a stick of incense, the Zhou battalion sent troops.

Under the dim sky, the camp gate was wide open, and the tide of soldiers and horses with bright armor poured out in an orderly manner, and the thunderbolt rushed towards Xichang City, where only a shadow was left in the yellow sand.

I don't know what happened today, but the wind has been blowing like knives since the morning.

The rolled up yellow sand almost obscured half the day into an earthy yellow. It is said that the wind does not pass until noon, but after dusk, the wind is only slightly smaller and does not stop.

In the strong wind, Zhou Jun shrunk his neck one by one, and his eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

To be honest, such a day does not seem to be suitable for marching and fighting, but the military order is like a mountain, and the order from above has come down, and it can only be obeyed.

Fortunately, the west wind was blowing, and Zhou Jun saved a lot of strength along the wind, and it was faster than approaching Xichang on weekdays.

There is a chariot in the middle of the military formation that is very eye-catching, and the chariot can be seen from sitting on it with a large view. But today's chariots are surrounded by gauze tents, which keep the wind and sand out.

Qin Zhe rode a horse and followed beside the chariot, his eyes still staring at Xichang who was getting closer and closer, his face full of determination to win.

"Qin Zhe."

Suddenly there was a sharp breath from the chariot, and the wind was so strong that the wind almost blew away as soon as the breath came out. Qin Zhe frowned, but he didn't hear it.

"Qin Zhe, this prison army called you over, didn't you hear?"

After a pause, the voice on the chariot sounded again, this time even sharper than before.

After a long silence, the men on the chariot finally lost all their patience and lifted the veil tent. The next moment, a cruel voice came out.

"If you don't come again, this prison army will deal with you by military law."

Qin Zhe sighed in his heart, and impatiently pulled the reins towards the chariot.

"It's windy and sandy outside, and the overseer is not afraid of the wind and cold?"

Liu Ao's face stiffened, and as soon as Qin Zhe said this, he immediately felt as if he had inhaled a lot of sand in one go, so the whole person was not good. A feminine face was dissatisfied.

"You lean over and talk." The gauze brush was put down, and Liu Ao hid in the car again.

Qin Zhe raised his eyebrows: "What advice does the prison army have?" ”

"Are you sure you can take Xichang tonight?" The voices in the chariot were disdainful.

"Yes." Qin Zhe snorted lightly, obviously not ready to explain to him.

Even if I explained it to him, he probably couldn't understand it.
