Because of Rong Zhao's indifference, at the end of this day, Xiao Junjue's official business was delayed again, and at night, he wanted to stay up late to read all the official documents when he was clean, but he was forced by Rong Zhao to turn off the lights and go to bed.

"Zhao Zhao, let's discuss, can I see another hour?" On the bed, Xiao Junjue discussed Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao was resolute and hugged him stiffly, "No, you will delay my sleep." ”

"Then I'll go to the study. ”

"No, I don't know and think that I will take you to the study, I am a good wife and mother, if people know that I still sent you to the study when you were sick, what should others say. "Actually, Rong Zhao just doesn't want him to work too hard, I haven't heard that sick people have to be busy all the time, can't they take care of their illness?

It seems that he can't fulfill his wish, but the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms makes Xiao Junjue, who has been abstaining from meat for many days, feel charming in her heart, and the softness on her chest exudes an alluring fragrance.

"In that case, I can't sleep for a while, so let's do something fun. With that, he ripped off Rong Zhao's clothes.

"Oops, you're so nasty, don't make trouble, don't make trouble. ”

"Don't you just like me and hate me?"

"Who said that, don't make trouble, haha, it's so itchy, don't make trouble, please. ”

The two were playing when there was a knock on the door.

"Lord, lord, something is wrong. "There was a hurried call, it was the night owl.

Xiao Junjue felt bad when she heard this, and lifted the bed curtain and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"

"Just now someone came to report that Luo Luo was overwhelmed by heavy troops and was capturing Bicheng, and Yunzhou was in danger. ”

Luo Luo is a country close to Bashu, the people are fierce and barbaric, and there have been several battles with the Great Zhou in the past, but all of them have ended in failure. It's been more than ten years since the last defeat, and I thought I was honest, but I didn't expect to jump up again now.

Bicheng is not under the jurisdiction of Xiao Junjue, but it is very close to Yunzhou under its jurisdiction, and if Hancheng is captured, it is likely that Yunzhou will be next. Attacking Yunzhou, the entire Bashu will be endangered.

Xiao Junjue's face changed drastically, and he got out of bed barefoot, he looked angry, "Why didn't you report this kind of thing earlier, is it a fool who guards the southern border? Let the family attack quietly!"

Rong Zhao hurriedly waited for him to get dressed and persuaded, "Don't worry about it first. ”

This illness was just right, and Rong Zhao was afraid that he would get angry and fall ill again.

Although he persuaded Xiao Junjue not to worry, Rong Zhao's hands were trembling.

Although Luo Luo is small in area, he has seven or eight hundred thousand troops, and this time he must have a lot of people, and how many troops can Bashu's army have.

She roughly calculated in her mind that the states could add up to about 200,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 20,000 brought in when she came to the fiefdom, and the tens of thousands of troops recruited over the years, adding up to only 300,000. Even if it's in one place, it can't compare to Rollo's army. What's more, with so many states, soldiers and horses naturally can't be together, and there must be soldiers and horses everywhere to guard it, and it is even worse if the enemy attacks the east and west.

The night owl replied outside: "Rollo is a surprise attack, and it will be too late to resist when the attack comes in." ”

Between Luo Luo and the Great Zhou is bounded by the river, and there is a Baisha River in the middle, crossing the river, the side of the Great Zhou is Wangtian Pass, breaking into the pass, it is Bicheng.

It is on the verge of Bicheng City, which means that Wangtian Pass has been passed, but for so many days, there has not been even a trace of news. It can be seen that it is the dereliction of duty of the guards of the pass.

Bicheng does not belong to Xiao Junjue's territorial control, and as a vassal king, he will not have to be rescued without the emperor's will. For Bicheng, it can be said that he is powerless. But if Bicheng falls, the next one is the disaster of Yunzhou, Xiao Junjue convened all the officials and staff overnight to discuss countermeasures, and this discussion was discussed until dawn the next day.

In the end, it was discussed, taking precautions, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were drawn from each state to rush to Bizhou to station, and 20,000 soldiers and horses were drawn from Yizhou, led by Gu Jinnian and Gu Jinmu, stationed between Bicheng and Yunzhou, keeping an eye on Luo Luo's movements day and night.

Bicheng is already in danger, Yunzhou, Xiangzhou and other places seem to be also targeted by Luo Luo, although they did not send troops, but there are a large number of people and horses to press the border, I don't know what Luo Luo wants.

Now Rollo is not ruled by their king, but by the king's uncle, the regent, a radical who does not rule the country with a policy of rest and recuperation, unlike the old kingdom of the deceased, but pursues the idea of taking over the world immediately. This time, it was also because of the corruption and incompetence of the DPRK and China that the Great Zhou was now in the middle of the country, so he boldly attacked.

He had heard that the king of Chu who was now in power in Bashu, that was a handsome man who governed the army, although he was radical, but he was not without brains, at this time, he did not invade Bashu, but he had the intention of waiting and seeing.

Xiao Junjue sat in the study, discussing with everyone.

"Luo Luo has as many as 500,000 troops in this attack, but he has drawn 300,000 troops from the men and horses who attacked Bicheng and placed them outside our borders, what does this mean?

Rong Yao's worries are not unreasonable, and no one knows what Luo Luo's regent thinks. Fighting is sometimes false, I am afraid that his attack on Bicheng is fake, and it is true that he wants to attack Bashu.

Bashu's army is too small, and it has to be guarded inside and out, if it really fights, it will be greatly disadvantaged.

Xiao Junjue frowned.

Shen Ao said: "It is very difficult to fight on two fronts, and Luo Luo may not necessarily get benefits." He turned his head to look at Gu Jinfeng, usually he had the most ideas and thought more than others.

Gu Jinfeng glanced at him, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "In my opinion, no." ”

Xiao Junjue looked at him, "What do you say?"

Everyone also looked at him, and Gu Jinfeng talked eloquently, "First, as Mr. Shen said, the war on two fronts is too laborious, and they can't afford it." Now there are no reinforcements from the imperial court, and once the reinforcements arrive, the 300,000 will inevitably be thrown into Bicheng. Second, now is the month of La, the coldest time of the year, Luo Luo lives in the south, used to warm weather, to our place, can not stand the cold, the longer they stay, the more unfavorable it is for them, there is also the problem of grain and grass, this winter from Luo Luo is not easy, they can't afford to consume. Thirdly, Rollo himself also has internal troubles, as far as I know, there are many people in Rollo who are dissatisfied with the regent, and take advantage of him to go out to fight, if there is any turmoil in the country, he will also have troubles. ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "It's still thoughtful, it's exactly this reason, there is a shortage of grain and grass in winter, and they are also anxious." In my opinion, the army placed on the border will return to Bicheng in a few days. Pressing on us outside the borders is probably a deterrent and a warning to us not to help. ”

Listening to what Shen Ao and Gu Jinfeng said, Meng Nianci's tightly knit eyebrows widened slightly, but soon, he surged up again, looked at everyone, and spread his hands, "But when will the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive? Now the 200,000 army can still resist for a while, if the 500,000 attack Bicheng together, it will fall in less than a month." But now, it's been seven days, and even the nearby soldiers and horses haven't been mobilized, is it possible that the court plans to give up Bicheng?"

If the emperor issued a document at this time and asked him to go to the rescue, he would go to Bicheng now without saying a word.

Everyone looked at each other and sighed.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, it was the coldest day of the year, Luo Luo launched a fierce attack on Bicheng, and the water in the moat outside the city turned red, but the weather was too cold, and the soldiers of Luo Luo who were frozen could not raise their swords, and at night, the weather was even colder, and their hands and feet became hard, tired and cold, and who still had the strength to attack, so they stopped attacking.

By the eleventh, there was another attack, but it was still not captured, and the city was defended to the death, and the city gate was about to be opened, so it was closed. Once it blows up, it declines again, it declines and it is exhausted, and it can't be opened all of a sudden, so it rests half of its breath, and it can't be hit again.

However, although Bicheng was defended, it suffered heavy losses, and nearly 10,000 soldiers died.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Luo Luo launched another general attack, and saw that he was about to succeed in capturing the city, but at that time, 100,000 reinforcements sent by the imperial court arrived and attacked from behind.

Rollo failed in the siege, and the army quickly withdrew and retreated to a place twenty miles away from Bicheng and set up camp. At the same time, the troops stationed on the border of Xiangzhou in Yunzhou were also transferred there, and it seemed that a full-scale offensive would soon be launched.

It's just that only 100,000 reinforcements were sent, plus more than 10,000 people left in Bicheng, how could they fight against Luo Luo's 500,000 army.

Xiao Junjue didn't understand what Xiao Yuheng was going to do, whether he was too confident in the army of the Great Zhou, or whether he didn't care if Bicheng was lost at all.

On this day, Xiao Junjue came back from the front yard, her face was angry, and the people who were three meters close to her were hiding far away, afraid of being forced by the cold air of the prince.

"What's the matter, who are you so angry with?" Rong Zhao swept the snow off him with a feather duster, then untied his clothes for him, and led him to sit by the stove.

Yuanyu held the tea, and gave it to Xiao Junjue, the cold air of the prince's body was a few percent lower than the temperature outside, she handed it to the prince, and her hands trembled unconsciously. Fortunately, I put down the teacup, if I didn't put it, I wouldn't have to fall.

Xiao Junjue took a sip of tea, her heart was still blocked and uncomfortable, and she put the teacup on the table, and the tea lid slid down the table to the ground and broke in half.

Yuanyu thought that the tea she made was not to the prince's appetite, or it was hot or cold, so she knelt down to apologize, "The prince is angry, the prince is angry." ”

Rong Zhao waved her handkerchief and asked her to go down, "It's okay, clean this up, you can go down." ”

She saw that this was angry with people, and it had nothing to do with tea, nor did it have anything to do with Mandarin Language, so she sent Mandarin Mandarin Language.

Poured him a cup of tea again and brought it to him, Rong Zhao pondered for a moment and guessed, "Is there something wrong with Bicheng?"

Xiao Junjue looked at her, let out a sigh between his snorts, his fingers touched the edge of the teacup, and the hot and painful touch, he slowed down and said heavily: "Bicheng was lost and taken by Luo Luo." ”
