Liang Hongcai also pondered for a long time before he replied leisurely:

"The key is that she thought of a problem that many people don't pay much attention to, that is, intelligence, when her Tingxue Building was just announced, there was a Suzaku Hall created to collect intelligence, and now the Suzaku Hall has hidden branches in many cities, almost no one knows, this is a layout ability, and everyone can't see how big the net she hides in the shadows is."

"When she became the king of heaven, she also founded the Qingping Division for the first time, and she also took the collection of intelligence as her main responsibility, which shows how much she attaches importance to the collection of intelligence."

"The five countries outside the world also have people who collect intelligence, but none of them will attach so much importance to it, only when war breaks out, will it enhance its ability in this area and draw more people from the army to find out the news."

"However, Mu Qianmei is taking precautions, she has been arming for a long time, and now it seems that this is indeed very worthy of attention, we don't know anything about her, but she knows everything about us, how can we win such a war?"

Gao Xiujie immediately said in a helpless tone:

"So where do we go from here?"

After Liang Hongcai groaned slightly, he replied in a firm tone:

"Retreat, we must withdraw from Linghai City as soon as possible, if we wait for Liu Tingfeng's army to arrive, we won't have time to retreat."

Gao Xiujie said with great surprise:

"Retreat? Shall we abandon the city? Wouldn't this give a city to Mu Qianmei for nothing! ”

Liang Hongcai said indifferently:

"What else would we do if we didn't?"

Gao Xiujie said unwillingly:

"We have already asked the second prince for help, presumably his second army has already left Yong'an City and is on the way over!"

"During this time, as long as we close the city gate and hold on for ten days and half a month, we can wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and at that time, we will be able to wipe out Liu Tingfeng's army by joining forces with the reinforcements."

Liang Hongcai said with surprise:

"Haven't all the people you sent out have been intercepted by Mu Qianmei's people? How can you still succeed in asking for help? ”

Gao Xiujie was also full of doubts and said:

"It's strange to say, the people we sent out to inquire about the news have all gone and have not returned, but the message for help has been successfully delivered to Yong'an City, and even their reply has been received."

"According to the time, it has been three days since the reinforcements came out, and it will be twelve days before they can reach our Linghai City!"

Liang Hongcai only a moment later, he immediately woke up and said:

"It's not good, this is Mu Qianmei deliberately let you succeed, think about it, now Liu Tingfeng has nearly five million troops, what will happen if two million troops are sent over there?"

"Even if we should cooperate with the outside world, it won't help!"

"She deliberately let you succeed in asking for help, and let you get feedback smoothly, that is, she wants you to stick to Linghai City and wait for reinforcements, so that her army can annihilate all the people in one fell swoop."

"At that time, it will not be us who will destroy Liu Tingfeng's army, but we will be wiped out by Liu Tingfeng's army!"

As soon as he heard this, Gao Xiujie immediately said in shock:

"Huh? Is she so godly? ”

Liang Hong was only for a long time before he said leisurely:

"It's really a last resort, ring after ring, and even every step of the change is under her control, it's really terrifying!"

"If my guess is correct, then Yong'an City is in danger at this moment."

Gao Xiujie said puzzledly:

"How can Yong'an City be dangerous? Isn't it our Linghai City that is most dangerous now? ”

Liang Hongcai analyzed slowly:

"Think about it, the second prince sent two armies to Linghai City, each army is two million, that is, four million troops, how many troops are left in Yong'an City?"

"The reason why Mu Qianmei let your message for help be successfully delivered to Yong'an City is to let the second prince send an army to come, so how could she miss such a good opportunity, she will inevitably send a large army to Yong'an City, take advantage of the situation, and take Yong'an City in one fell swoop, so that the entire Xiyu Country will be under her control."

"If all her plans are successful, the Xiyu Kingdom will be about to change, and the Xiyu Kingdom will no longer be surnamed Wu, but will change its surname to Mu."

Gao Xiujie said in disbelief:

"How can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl have such scheming and strategy?"

Liang Hongcai was also speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he said:

"With her unimaginable literary brilliance, she conquered the emperor Zhou Yunxi; won the individual championship with an overwhelming margin on the Tianwaitian Lingyun list, and became an idol in the minds of countless young people; At the time of the danger of Xiyu Kingdom, she was ordered to let some of the civil and military generals in the court be willing to serve it, and even the extremely prestigious Abbot Puhui and Tongxuan Daoist and others in the Jianghu forces led the Jianghu army to serve her. ”

"The conquest of Zhou Yunxi is equivalent to conquering countless literati and writers, because Zhou Yunxi, as a literary master, has protégés all over the world and many responders."

"Conquering countless teenagers is equivalent to having an infinite source of soldiers, and many teenagers have joined her army and strengthened her team."

"The conquest of Abbot Puhui and the Chief of Tongxuan Dao is equivalent to conquering the entire rivers and lakes, I heard that they have called on a million troops from the rivers and lakes and have invested under Mu Qianmei."

Speaking of this, Liang Hongcai himself was shocked into a cold sweat, and in the face of such an opponent, he actually felt a sense of powerlessness.

After being silent for a while, Liang Hongcai said in a firm tone:

"You immediately gather all the defenders and government soldiers tonight, bring all the treasures and the grain and grass of Linghai City, we will withdraw from Linghai City immediately tomorrow morning, Liu Tingfeng will be able to come to Linghai City in one day, we must hurry as soon as possible, it will be too late if it is too late."

Gao Xiujie was unwilling, but he had to admit that Liang Hongcai's analysis was very reasonable, but he still asked:

"Are we going to send someone to inform the reinforcements? If you can tell them to take a detour and join us in other cities, wouldn't we be able to save a little strength! ”

Liang Hongcai knew that this move was meaningless, but he still couldn't bear to hit him, so he nodded slowly and said:

"It's good to give it a try, just send someone to notify you and see if you can be notified, if it succeeds, we can have two million troops to protect us, and we will indeed be safer."

After the two discussed, they separated, and Liang Hongcai still had some people left in Linghai City, some of whom would evacuate with him, and some of whom needed to stay to protect their property, in the hope that it would be easier for Longxiao Kingdom to invade in the future.

Gao Xiujie summoned the civil and military generals overnight and told them the news that they were going to retreat the next day, so that everyone could prepare urgently.

It was night, Linghai City was full of commotion, countless civil and military generals, all packed their bags, some owned industries, they were in a hurry to resell, those merchants who did not need to be transferred, at a very low price, transferred to a lot of very good shops.

The news that Gao Xiujie was going to retreat spread throughout Linghai City in an instant, and people were talking about it-

"Liu Tingfeng hasn't arrived yet, Gao Xiujie is going to escape?"

"What if you don't run away? Liu Tingfeng defeated Wu Changkong's army, plus the army was almost five million troops, they would definitely not be able to defeat them, so they could only take advantage of the fact that the army had not arrived and fled for their lives first. ”

"Hey, it's a pity that such a traitor is about to escape, but no one can stop them."

"Although they can't defeat Liu Tingfeng's army, there is no one here who can fight against them!"

Where can they flee? Sooner or later, he will be wiped out by Liu Tingfeng's army, and if he escapes now, he will only live a few more days. ”

……

When people were discussing, the students of the Royal Academy were all furious, and called on countless hot-blooded teenagers, not to mention two or three hundred thousand, all of them clamoring to stop Gao Xiujie from letting him escape smoothly.

However, under the suppression of the teachers, one by one they could only wait for the decision of Dean Fan Bohou on the square of the college.

In Fan Bohou's office, Fan Bohou said to his wife with some reluctance:

"Are we just watching him run away and doing nothing?"

The old lady looked at Fan Bohou, who was a little excited, and asked in a calm voice:

"Are you willing to watch these hot-blooded teenagers die in front of your own eyes?"

Just one sentence made Fan Bohou immediately startled, as if he had suddenly sobered up, and he replied almost subconsciously:

"Of course not."

When he said this, his mind immediately appeared with that face that was still a little immature in his blood.

They are all students of the academy, they are all his students, and as teachers, how can they be willing to watch their students sacrifice in front of their eyes?

As soon as the old lady saw his expression, she knew that he was awake, so she said slowly:

"Now they want to escape, just to be able to survive, whoever goes to block at this time, will inevitably be subjected to a strong counterattack, a group of people who want to escape, their combat effectiveness is even much stronger than usual, although there are many of our students who are masters of cultivation, but after all, they are uneven, and they have no combat experience in life and death."

"Let such a group of students fight with the defenders and government soldiers, what is the difference between sending them to death?"

"Therefore, we must do a good job in the ideological work of the students, let them all calm down, the Xiyu country is so big, where else can they escape?"

"Waiting for Liu Tingfeng's army to take control of Linghai City, and then destroying them, wouldn't it be better than letting the students go to death!"

Fan Bohou immediately nodded and said:

'What my sister said is very true, so I'll go out and stop them!' ’

After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the office and walked to a high platform on the student square.

As soon as he appeared, the originally noisy square suddenly became silent, as the dean of the Royal Academy, Fan Bohou had absolute prestige among the students.

Everyone looked at Fan Bohou quietly, wanting to hear how he decided, Fan Bohou's eyes swept over all the students majestically, and he said aloud to meet their expectant eyes:

"I understand your mood very well at the moment, because my mood is the same as yours, and I don't want to watch Gao Xiujie escape from Linghai City safely."

"But with what we are capable of now, can we stop him?
