Stepping into the city, you can feel an atmosphere of restlessness, confusion and chaos that permeates the entire city.

Although on the surface, the patrol officers of the garrison were still well-groomed, and the business trips were normal, but the clues could be seen from the whispers between the sergeants in private.

Qingzhou City is broken, Jiedu makes the adult captured, this news can't be hidden, even if Liu Yansi wants to hide it, Huaiyou will not let him hide it.

Before, Liu Yansi would never believe that Qingzhou City would be breached within five days, he always thought that this was a trick of the Huaiyou Army, but soon the news from Mizhou and Qingzhou confirmed the authenticity of this news.

When he learned that Huaiyou's army was out of Qingzhou, Liu Yansi didn't think it was a big problem, Qingzhou City was not so easy to fight, more than 10,000 elites defended the city, unless Huaiyou could raise an army of 100,000.

With 50,000 troops, Liu Yansi felt that the Huaiyou Army was afraid of breaking the bloodstream, and he never thought that the city would be broken in five days, which subverted Liu Yansi's cognition.

Even if you know that the Huaiyou Army's magic power is very strong, the Huaiyou Army has far more powerful people in the small heavens, and the Huaiyou Army also has powerful long-range strike weapons, but how can it be broken in five days? And what is even more incredible is that the Lord was actually captured alive!

It's captured alive, how is it possible to capture a small heavenly master alive?

Wang Shouzhong is by no means the kind of person who is stubborn, once the situation is not good, he will definitely be able to get out on his own, Liu Yansi knows it very well, so he can't understand it.

Wang Guoxi's arrival gave him an opportunity to understand the real situation, and he talked with Wang Guoxi alone for an hour, and learned in detail about the Huaiyou army's attack on Qingzhou City, especially the beginning and end of the day the city was broken.

Wang Guoxi told Liu Yansi what he knew and what Wang Pu said on the road without reservation, which was nothing to hide, in fact, he also hoped to provide Liu Yansi with a complete fact, so that Liu Yansi could base his future decisions.

"There are only 50,000 troops, and the Huaiyou Army will break through Qingzhou on the fifth day, and the Huaiyou Army will be strong?" Liu Yansi couldn't help muttering, "San Lang, in your opinion, even if it is not an ambush set up by the Huaiyou masters, the Huaiyou Army will definitely be able to break the city?"

"Well, Uncle Liu, I'm sure of that. Wang Guoxi nodded, "Huaiyou's army ambushed his father at the north gate, it was indeed a bit unexpected, I don't know how Huaiyou guessed that his father would personally go to the north gate to sit in town, because my father had been at the east gate before, but I don't think it matters, if they can't set up an ambush, at most, my father can escape alone, or a small number of people can escape from the city, but there is no doubt that the city will be broken." ”

"I have heard for a long time that Huaiyou's magic equipment is incomparable, it seems that we still underestimated it before, and if we are not careful, we will lose all the plates. ”

Liu Yansi's face was heavy, and his right index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the Hu chair, and occasionally paused, as if he wanted to think about it.

"And as you said, the range of the ballista and trebuchet is far superior to that of our Pinglu army, and our city defense advantage has been completely wiped out, and even fallen to the downside, so it is reasonable to break the city. It's just that how they can make such a fierce trebuchet and ballista is mostly related to magic, and our northern land is indeed too far behind in this regard. ”

"I heard Wang Pu on the way that there are nearly 200 magicians in the Huaiyou Dao Tibetan Academy, and this time there are only more than 20 people in Qingzhou, most of them still stayed in Huzhou, Shouzhou and Xuzhou, but Wang Pu also said that the magic is a profound meaning, and it is impossible to be poor by a single individual, and it is necessary to have the wisdom of all people to be able to achieve success, and now the Huaiyou Dao Tibetan Academy is still only in its infancy. ”

Wang Guoxi's words made Liu Yansi gasp, close to two hundred people is actually just in the initial stage, and the total number of magicians in Pinglu is less than twenty, how can this be compared?

In fact, Wang Pu's words are also a bit half-true, these nearly 200 people are not only the Daozang Academy, but also include the Material Officials Academy, the Daozang Academy and the Material Official Academy are merged to form the Daozang Material Official, which is a bit similar to the taste of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering in Jiang Fenglai's era.

But even half of it is appalling.

You must know that this magician is not as simple as raising people, these magicians not only have to cultivate the Xuan Shen on weekdays, but more importantly, they have to conduct various magic research.

If you want to conduct magic research, you need all kinds of materials, which is the fundamental guarantee for magic research, and the money will go to the sea, and the idle feudal lords can't hold it at all, especially in the past few years, when God is not beautiful, it is difficult to raise an army, let alone raise a team of magicians.

"No wonder Huaiyou can be so accomplished, and no wonder Huaiyou has rich places such as Shouzhou, Luzhou, and Xuzhou, but he doesn't raise many soldiers, but he spends a lot on it. Liu Yansi nodded.

"Uncle Liu, what are you going to do?" didn't want to ask this question, but Wang Guoxi felt that he might have to face it sooner or later, so it was better to be generous and pick it up.

"Well, Saburo, I'll tell you the truth, I want to be embarrassed, and I don't know what to do. Liu Yansi's face was expressionless, "It is said that Jiedu makes the adult have a handwritten letter, and he should obey the order, but you also know that Jiedu has made the adult fall into Huai's right hand now, but I am afraid that this letter may not be the original intention of the adult." ”

Wang Guoxi sneered slightly in his heart, Wang Pu also said this, he said that Liu Yansi's prevarication would probably start with this, but it was expected by the other party.

Wang Pu also said that Liu Yansi was not to blame, after all, whoever sat in this position had to be weighed, and it was extremely difficult to decide.

"Uncle Liu, it is true that it is difficult to make a decision. Wang Guoxi pondered his words for a moment and said slowly: "But I think it doesn't matter if it's my father's intention. ”

"Huh?" Liu Yansi was taken aback and stared at Wang Guoxi, "San Lang, why do you say this?"

"Uncle Liu, as you said, my father is in the hands of Huai Youjun, and whatever he says may not represent his true heart, so the handwritten letter to you is not important, the important thing is the reality we are facing now. Wang Guoxi said calmly.

Liu Yansi's eyes pierced Wang Guoxi, as if he was seeing each other for the first time, and he suddenly found that he didn't seem to know anything about this San Lang before, only that he was quite talented in martial arts, but he didn't know anything else.

"The reality of the situation, um, Saburo, what do you think of the current situation, uh, for us, of course, very unfavorable, but ......"

Wang Guoxi interrupted the other party's words, "Uncle Liu, what I want to say is that if we don't obey the Huaiyou Army as our father's handwritten letter, then what are we going to do? Well, can we survive? If we can, then we can try, if not, then we don't need to say more." ”

The straightforward and explicit words made Liu Yansi's face change, although the other party's words seemed to be unbiased, Liu Yansi could feel that the other party was not very optimistic.

"San Lang, do you think we have no way out?" Liu Yansi calmed down.

"Uncle Liu, Haizhou is the only one, do you think it's possible?" Wang Guoxi asked briefly, seeing Liu Yansi shaking his head, he immediately said: "Then we can only unite with the second uncle of Mizhou, the eldest brother went to the second uncle, presumably he has already arrived, it is estimated that they may face the same problems as us, so if we unite, is there a way out?"

It's a difficult question to answer.

This way out depends on what it means.

Wang Guoxi continued his topic, "What is the purpose of the alliance, is it to maintain the status quo, or to counterattack Qingzhou? If the status quo is maintained, will there be enough money and food? What about Denglai Erzhou?"

As soon as this topic was thrown out, Liu Yansi was stunned again.

That's right, money and food are the basis for maintaining a place's survival, and Haizhou can be maintained, but what about Mizhou?

Pinglu's money and grain are concentrated in Qingzhou, and now that Qingzhou has been seized, with the situation of Mizhou, it will not last long at all, and if Haizhou wants to support Mizhou, it will be difficult to hold on for too long.

Also, what should we do about Denglai Erzhou? If we want to defend Denglai, we will definitely be broken by each other, but if we don't defend it, only Mizhou and Haizhou will remain, and Haizhou is still a newly acquired land, and all four are surrounded by Huaiyou, or they will face the sea, and how long can this situation last?

Liu Yansi's heart slowly cooled down.

This is definitely not what Wang Guoxi thought of, it must have been instilled by Wang Pu, the envoy sent by Huaiyou, to Wang Guoxi along the way, but although there was a suspicion of brainwashing, Liu Yansi knew that this was not a lie.

It is impossible to hold on to the two states of Haimi alone, and one move to encircle the point and send reinforcements can make the two states of Haimi take care of one and lose the other, as long as one state is lost, the fall of the other state is a matter of an eye.

Especially after learning about Huaiyou's powerful siege equipment and equipment, Liu Yansi felt that Haizhou's defense might not be able to hold it for three days.

"Uncle Liu, this is not what I came up with, but what Wang Pulu said, I have been thinking about it, but no matter how I reverse the gap, I have not found a reason to convince myself, this is still under the premise of not having the factor of my father. ”

Wang Guoxi didn't hide anything.

Liu Yansi looked at each other blankly, his eyes slowly turned away, and he threw himself out of the door, and the snow became heavier and heavier.

Three days later, Wang Pu and Liu Yansi reached a basic agreement on the reorganization and reorganization of the Ziqing Army to accept the Huai Right Army, and the banner of "Huai You Jiedu Makes the River" and "Wuning Jiedu makes the Jiang" was re-hung at the head of Haizhou City, and Haizhou was restored.

Almost at the same time, after Wang Guorong arrived in Mizhou, he quickly reached an agreement with Wang Shouxin, and even did not discuss much with the Huaiyou envoy, so he announced that Mizhou would change banners, and the Pinglu Army in Mizhou would accept the reorganization and reorganization of the Huaiyou Army and be attached to the Huaiyou Army.

It can be said that the elimination of this war came even faster than Jiang Feng imagined, and it should be said that the two people sent Wang Guorong and Wang Guoxi played a very key role in it.

If there were no envoys from these two people, maybe Mizhou and Haizhou would still choose such a result in the end, but maybe it would have been a long time delay. 10
