Xiao Yuheng sent troops to raid, which was already expected by Xiao Junjue, he had already prepared, and did not place all the 400,000 troops in Runing City.

Gu Jinnian led 100,000 soldiers and horses to live at the foot of the mountain fifty miles southwest of Runing City, 100,000 camped on the mountain forty miles northwest of the city, led by the night owl, and 80,000 scattered to the east, west, north and south, leaving only 120,000 men and horses in Runing City, which was personally commanded by Xiao Junjue.

Corresponding on all sides, with Runing as the center, although the troops of such an arrangement are scattered, it is convenient to mobilize.

"Lord Wang, there are people outside the city calling for battle. ”

On the third day of December, the 500,000 army appointed by the imperial court was on the verge of the city of Runing, and Yin Xiong, the veteran general of the Four Dynasties, was appointed as the marshal, Wei Ji, the general of Pingnan, as the former general, and Luan Sang as the vanguard, which was menacing.

Xiao Junjue frowned, not because he was afraid, but because Yin Xiong was a military minister who Emperor Xiaojing relied on a lot when he was there, and he was over seventy years old, Xiao Junjue really didn't want to fight against him, for fear of missing and hurting his life.

Seeing Xiao Junjue's frowning, Nighthawk stepped forward and asked, "My subordinates will go down to fight." ”

Xiao Junjue took a look at him, thought about it, nodded, and said, "Then you can go and meet him for a while, but, as a last resort, don't hurt his life." ”

"Yes!" Nighthawk clenched his fists, picked up his weapon, and went out of town.

Xiao Junjue stood on the city tower and watched, Yin Xiong took the lead, riding on the horse, although it was a rare year, but it was still majestic and undiminished.

The black armor beside him, with a hook and sickle in his hand, saw the nighthawk fighting, and shouted: "Where did the yellow-haired boy come from, ask your prince to come out and fight with the old man, and the old man will not kill the nameless." ”

Nighthawk held a halberd in his hand, and the tip of the silver halberd flickered, like a white line across his cheek. Xin said: "Old horseman, if it weren't for the prince's advice, how could you be arrogant here." ”

"The last general Nighthawk, meet the old general Yin, the old general is old, still galloping on the field, the last general is really admired, but the old general Yin, the last general advises, the king of Qi leans towards the government and the opposition, corrupts the dynasty, and is not tolerated by the world. The old general is righteous and loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he should consider the thousands of people in the Great Zhou, obey the mandate of heaven, and crusade against the traitorous ministers. Nighthawk endured the anger in his stomach and was polite.

"Fart!" Yin Xiong scolded, "You yellow-mouthed child, what kind of righteousness do you talk to the old man, if you really think about the people of the Great Zhou, you should persuade your prince to withdraw the army immediately, go back to Yizhou, and live a peaceful and stable life, instead of starting a war like now, and destroying the lives of the people!"

It's really old and stubborn, stubborn.

Nighthawk frowned calmly and said, "Since Old General Yin doesn't listen to the advice of the last general, then we have no choice but to meet each other." ”

Nighthawk tightened the horse's rope and prepared for a stop.

Yin Xiong looked down on him, "Tell your prince to come out, you don't deserve to die in the hands of the old man." He looked at the city tower and squinted his eyes, "Could it be that the king of Chu was afraid of the old man and didn't dare to fight against the old man, so he sent his soldiers to die?"

"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Nighthawk's temper came up, this old horseman, humiliating him can just endure it for the time being, and dare to insult the prince, you must not bear it.

He shouted, "Yin Xiong, if you want to fight against our prince, then try with me first, and if you win me, our prince will naturally go out of the city to meet you!"

"Okay, I'll take your kid's head first, and then I'll meet with the King of Chu for a while. ”

Although Yin Xiong has many years of combat experience, he was not at the same time as Nighthawk at the beginning, but after all, he is older, and after more than 30 rounds, his strength is not as good as before.

Nighthawk is in the prime of life, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, and after these rounds, he has seen Yin Xiong's loopholes.

After a few more rounds, Yin Xiong was injured in many places and had no power to fight back.

Nighthawk saw the opportunity and raised the halberd, which was about to kill him, and Yin Xiong was also dumbfounded, seeing the crisis ahead, but he didn't know how to dodge, and saw that he had been hit by this fatal blow.

But on the top of the city tower, Xiao Yuheng shouted, "Leave him alive!"

The halberd blade has pierced through the armor, and it is only about to use a force to penetrate the heart, but because of this sound, Nighthawk stopped, although he was unwilling, but the prince had an order, and he could not disobey it.

Nighthawk pulls back the halberd and picks it off with a hook, it can't kill you, but it also wants you to make a fool of yourself, see that you old horseman is still arrogant and arrogant.

Yin Xiong fell off his horse, Luan Sang waved his hand, and asked a few soldiers to come forward to rescue Yin Xiong, take a look at Xiao Junjue, and then command the soldiers, "Withdraw!"

The fall of the soldiers affects the mood of the soldiers, so negative, it is not a good time to attack the city, it is better to retreat first.

"Good, good, General Nighthawk is mighty, General Nighthawk is mighty. "Picking off the other marshal, this move greatly inspired the Chu Wang Army, and everyone shouted, with passionate emotions, compared with the Qi Wang soldiers who could flee in the wilderness, it was far from it.

Xiao Junjue faced an army of 500,000 sent by the King of Qi, and at the same time, A Shi led an army of 100,000 and drove straight into Yizhou, stationed thirty miles outside the city, eyeing him.

The garrison of Yizhou City has 50,000 troops, although it is inferior to the 100,000 army of Ashi in terms of numbers, but Yizhou City has a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has an advantage in strategic location.

There are generals like Meng Nianci and Gu Jinmu in the city to guard and command the battle, and Ah Shi wants to attack with only 100,000 people, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky.

It's just that Rong Zhao still can't help but worry.

Seeing that he could not attack for a long time, Ah Shi Qi adopted attrition tactics to surround Yizhou City and cut off the external channels for reinforcements and all material resources.

He is waiting for the city to be exhausted, and if he attacks again, it will save much trouble.

Just now, Rong Zhao and Gu Nianci Duan Pet calculated that the materials in the city are only enough to last for three months, but what should they do after three months?

Knowing that Xiao Yuheng sent 500,000 troops to attack Xiao Junjue, Rong Zhao didn't want him to be distracted, so he didn't give him a notice, and now, the outside road is ,. It's even harder to get the word out.

The news is blocked, the supplies are cut off, what should be done next?

Rong Zhao held his forehead and had a headache.

Something was fiddling with her feet, and Rong Zhao opened her eyes to see that it was Xue Tuan picking at her shoes.

Smiling, she picked up the snow ball and touched its head.

Xuetuan was very obedient, so he lay in Rong Zhao's arms, stretched out his tongue, licked his lips, and didn't say a word.

"Mother?" Xiao Rongnian leaned on the door, probing his brain to look at Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao looked at her, "Where are you going to find it again?" This face was cold and red, and it looked like he was playing crazy outside.

Xiao Rongnian grinned, and walked over, she was wearing a big red Sixi Ruyi cloud pattern brocade mink velvet robe, wearing a fox fur hat and gloves made by Rong Zhao to make her second sister-in-law Xu, and only her beautiful face was exposed all over her body, and her big eyes were very good-looking.

threw himself into Rong Zhao's arms and squeezed the snow ball away, "Mother, do you have any troubles?"

She stared at Rong Zhao with watery eyes, these eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, or maybe these eyes were as bright as the sun, shining into Rong Zhao's heart.

"Tell me, I'm your little padded jacket, and now my father is not at home, if you're unhappy, I can coax you. She took Rong Zhao's hand, innocent.

She is smart, don't look at the usual naughty and boundless, but in fact, she is a little sensitive in her heart, and she knows everything clearly.

Rong Zhao sighed, put the snow ball beside him, and then took off Xiao Rongnian's coat and hat and hugged him.

"The concubine does have some troubles, but these are all adult affairs, and they have nothing to do with you children. You just need to stay by your mother's side obediently and be carefree. ”

Maybe this is the wish of all parents, if she can, Rong Zhao hopes that she will be carefree all her life, grow up happily, and grow old.

Xiao Rongnian pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "Carefree, I'm not a fool, right?"

Rong Zhao chuckled, pinched and kissed her face, and said, "You're clever." ”

Xiao Rongnian grinned and hugged Rong Zhao's neck, "I'll follow my mother." This little mouth is sweet, it is all in Rong Zhao's heart, Rong Zhao wiped the sweat on her forehead, she wore it thickly, and she was crazy again, and there was a layer of sweat on her head.

Suddenly, she jumped from Rong Zhao to the ground and ran out.

Rong Zhao pulled her back, "What are you doing again?"

Xiao Rongnian said eagerly: "I play hide and seek with Chun'er, he hasn't found me for so long, he must be in a hurry." ”

Rong Zhao was directly anxious, "Where are you playing hide and seek?"

Xiao Rongnian's eyes were full of innocence, "In the small garden." ”

"You kid, how can you leave him in the little garden and run back by yourself?" Rong Zhao casually covered her clothes and ran to find Rong Chun.

Although she is at home, in case something happens, how can she explain to Rong Yao and Yin Rou.

Along the way, Rong Zhao reprimanded Xiao Rongnian all the way, "You really don't let me worry, you leave him in the garden by yourself in the winter, what if he freezes? I tell you, if Chun'er has something, I can't spare you." ”

Seeing that the mother concubine was really angry, Xiao Rongnian realized that she was wrong, wiped her tears and didn't dare to cry, a pitiful look.

"I didn't mean to leave him, I just played around with him, and I won't dare to do it again. ”

Rong Zhao was in a hurry to find Rong Chun, how could he be in the mood to care about her, looked around, and shouted: "Chun'er, Chun'er, where are you, did you hear your aunt call you? Chun'er, don't be afraid, my aunt is here." ”

Xiao Rongnian followed and ran behind, and also shouted, "Chun'er, the game is over, my sister is here, where are you?"

No one responded to her, she really knew that she was scared, and cried, "Chun'er, don't have anything to do, otherwise the concubine won't be able to spare me." ”

She clenched her hands into fists and rubbed her tears, and stood there whimpering and crying, crying and crying, and heard as if someone was crying again.

Looking for the voice, she ran to find it, and shouted Rong Zhao in front, "Mother, Chun'er is here." ”

Chun'er squatted there behind the rockery and cried silently, hearing Xiao Rongnian's shout, she raised her head and looked, and for a moment she burst into laughter, and her voice was milky, "Sister." ”

Xiao Rongnian ran over and hugged him, "Chun'er doesn't cry, it's all my sister's fault, I shouldn't leave you, my sister won't leave you anymore, don't cry, I'm sorry." ”

Seeing Rong Chun, Rong Zhao found that his legs were weak, walked over and picked up Rong Chun, wiped away his tears, and his little face and hands were cold, which was really distressing.
