When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he was furious, and just about to speak, Zhao Chen hurriedly said: "Brother Xiu, the ground at the scene is full of horseshoe marks, and the only thing that can be determined is that the enemies who sneak up are all cavalry!"

"Cavalry?" In Shangguan Xiu's impression, there seemed to be no cavalry corps under Shi Kevin's men. He frowned and asked www.biquge.info "Where did the rebel cavalry come from?" In our intelligence, there are no enemy cavalry in Zhangwu County!"

Li Bo, who was standing aside, rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "My lord, it's not that there are no cavalry under Shi Kaiwen's dog thief, it's just that the cavalry is not in Zhangwu County. ”

"Oh, General Lee, the cavalry under Skevin's command is ......"

"It's all in Shuangtai County. Li Bo straightened up, glanced left and right, and said in a loud voice: "The county guard and county lieutenant of Shuangtai County is named Sun Tong, born as a horse thief, and is good at cavalry combat, especially long-distance sneak attacks. Shuangtai County is adjacent to Zhangwu County, Sun Tong led his cavalry out of Shuangtai, entered Zhangwu County, and attacked our army's grain transportation team, it is not impossible, and all the brothers of our army were cut off and taken away by the enemy, which is also the consistent style of Sun Tong's subordinates. My lord, in the opinion of my subordinates, the enemy who sneaked up on our army was Sun Tong!"

Regarding Sun Tong in Shuangtai County, Kong Di had already told him in detail. It was precisely out of concern for Sun Tong's department that Shangguan Xiu sent Guanglin to fight Sun Tong's 10,000 or 20,000 people with an army of 60,000. As a result, Sun Tong still led the cavalry into Zhangwu County, causing such a big loss to his own side. Please Baidu black じ岩じ pavilion,Thank you!

He asked in a deep voice: "Where is Guanglin? Where is Guanglin now? The cavalry of Shuangtai County has entered Zhangwu County, does he know nothing?"

"This ......" Luo Fu and Zhao Chen glanced at each other, both of them lowered their heads, and neither of them spoke.

Shangguan Xiu was so angry that he wanted to slap the two of them, and he said angrily: "You two are talking! What are Guanglin doing?"

Luo Fu swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "General Guanglin led his troops to return ...... It's still in Tianmen Mountain. ”

"What?" Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, his nose almost crooked. It has been almost a month since the battle between his side and Shi Kaiwen's rebels, and the first Guanglin Division to set off is still in Nanling County, and it is still in Tianmen Mountain, and has not yet entered Shuangtai County.

At this time, even Dongzhe, who had always spoken for Guanglin, had a solemn face, lowered his head, and did not say a word.

Wu Nian looked up to the sky and sighed and said: "Raising tigers is a problem, my lord, we are raising tigers for trouble! Guanglin's defection to our army is false, and it is true that he wants to be the king and hegemon in Nanling County!"

Speaking of this, he shook his head again and again, now it is useless to say this, and now it is meaningless to complain and accuse Dongzhe of protecting Guanglin at the beginning, the top priority is to solve Sun Tong's henchman first.

Kong Di frowned and said: "If no one can contain Sun Tong's cavalry and let Sun Tong's cavalry come and go freely in Zhangwu County, then this cavalry will make our army invincible, and Peicheng, Tongcheng, Hou'an, and even Pingzheng, which our army captured before, are in danger of being attacked." ”

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said to Xiao Jue: "Ah Jue, take a pen and paper!"

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue agreed, and took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Shangguan Xiu picked up the pen, pondered for a moment, and wrote a handwritten letter to Guanglin.

The letter was harshly worded, ordering Guanglin to lead his army into Shuangtai County within two days of receiving the letter, and if he failed to do so as scheduled, he would be regarded as disobeying the order and punished by military law.

In the past, Shangguan Xiu still had some respect for Guanglin, if it weren't for the defection of Guanglin, when Shi Kaiwen led his troops to attack Zhenxi, the war would not end so quickly, and his own casualties would not be so few, it can be said that Guanglin was kind to the Zhenxi army.

But now, Shangguan Xiu's little respect for Guanglin has also been consumed, Guanglin disobeyed the general's order and refused to lead the army into Shuangtai County, which not only caused damage to his own grain and grass, killed hundreds of brothers and thousands of people, but also made his own army fall into passivity in Zhangwu County, which had too much impact on the entire war.

No matter what Guanglin planned, what he did was already a rebellion, and at this time, Shangguan Xiu's heart also had murderous intent towards Guanglin.

Shangguan Xiu's letter was ridden fast by the Dark Flag officers to Tianmen Mountain in Nanling County. However, the day after the letter was delivered, Peicheng was attacked by cavalry.

Fortunately, the Zhenxi army still had thousands of defenders in Peicheng, and after discovering the enemy's situation, the defenders immediately closed the city gate and blocked the attacking cavalry from the city gate. Cavalry is good at long-distance raids and breaking frontal formations, but in siege warfare, cavalry is useless.

The sneak attack on Peicheng failed, the incoming cavalry turned to attack the villages and towns around Peicheng, only one day, this cavalry destroyed the three villages and towns around Peicheng, killed people when they saw them, burned them when they saw houses, and before they left, they also left banners, with the blood of the people writing the words 'Whoever defects to the Zhenxi army, the chickens and dogs will not stay'.

In order to deal with the attacking enemy cavalry, Shangguanxiu had to divide his troops and station one corps in Peicheng, Tongcheng, Hou'an, and Pingzheng, and two other corps to be responsible for transporting grain and grass. Although this division of troops effectively defended against the sneak attack of the enemy's cavalry, the strength and combat power of the Zhenxi Army on the frontal battlefield were also greatly reduced.

This is the consequence of three arrows being fired at once, but only two arrows are fired, and one arrow is not fired.

Shangguan Xiu led the Zhenxi Army, which was less than 100,000 people, and continued to advance eastward, advancing the army to Xijing, camping outside Xijing, and joining forces with the Central Army Corps to complete the encirclement of Xijing.

Inside the city of Xijing. The current Shi Kewen can only be described as anxious, if the successive losses of Peicheng, Tongcheng, and Hou'an are expected, then the defection of Wang Tong and the fall of Pingzheng are not expected by Shi Kewen.

With the Zhenxi Army and the Central Army holding Xijing with the bags of one west and one east, Xijing fell into chaos.

At first, the rebels did not stop it, but as more and more people fled, Skeven ordered a complete closure of the city, and the people in the city were no longer allowed to leave the city.

The people in the city are also a trump card in the hands of Shi Kaiwen, the two sides are fighting to a critical moment, the people can be used as a source of soldiers to assist the rebels in defending the city, or they can be used as hostages to coerce the Zhenxi Army and the Central Army to withdraw, in short, he can't let go of the hundreds of thousands of people in Xijing City.

But Skywin's blockade can stop the people, but it can't stop the deserters. Among Skevin's command, a considerable number of rebels came for money, and they didn't have much loyalty to Skevin.

Now the Zhenxi Army and the Central Army are besieging Xijing, Xijing is in danger of being isolated and helpless, these rebels who have taken refuge in Shi Kevin because of money do not want to die with him, every time in the middle of the night, a large number of deserters appear, borrow ropes, go down the city wall, and flee to the outside of the city.

This morning, the county watchman's house.

Shi Kevin had just eaten breakfast, and was sitting in the hall of the county guard mansion drinking tea, when a general strode in from outside. This man is burly and strong, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a fierce appearance, with a face full of horizontal flesh and a pair of large ringed eyes shining.

He came to Skevin's approach, intervened in the salute, and said, "My lord!"

"Hmm. Shi Kevin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, looked at the generals who came in, and asked, "Ah Hu, you came to see me early in the morning, but is there something?"

"My lord, there were more than 300 deserters in our army last night, and most of them have been captured by their subordinates!" the general said, bowing down.

Skevins slammed the teacup in his hand to pieces, and the man got up from the chair, gritting his teeth and saying: "This group of ungrateful white-eyed wolves, when they took my military salary, they never knew how to be soft, and now the enemy army is just coming to the city, and before the city is attacked, they are afraid of the battle and flee, how can this be reasonable?!"

When the general saw that Shi Kewen was furious, he shrank his neck in fright, bowed down, and did not dare to answer. Shi Kevin waved his hand and shouted: "Kill! Ah Hu, kill all the deserters I captured, and leave no one behind!"

"This ...... My lord, we are now employing people, and we have killed more than 200 people at once, isn't it ......?"

"What kind of kindness do you have to be kind to these white-eyed wolves who are greedy for life and afraid of death? If you don't make an example of a hundred, how can you explain military discipline? Don't be verbose, kill, kill them all!" Shi Kewen was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.

"Subordinates obey!" The burly general sighed secretly, turned around to walk out, Shi Kevin narrowed his eyes, stared at him, and called out in a strange manner: "Ah Hu!"

The burly general hurriedly stopped, turned around, and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Shi Kevin smiled slightly and said, "I just want to ask you, you won't betray me too, right?" Now that Shi Kevin has no one to trust, even Wang Tong, whom he relied on so much, has taken refuge on Shangguan Xiu's side, who else can be loyal to him?

The burly general's body was shocked, and he bowed down and said: "The subordinates are wanted by the imperial court, thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, take in the subordinates, the kindness of the lord, the subordinates are unforgettable, and the subordinates will not betray the lord no matter what!"

Shi Kevin nodded with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and do things!" After the burly general left, Shi Kevin looked at the fragments of the teacup on the ground, and shouted distraughtly: "Come on, clean up the ground!"

As he spoke, a young maid ran in from outside, sat on her knees, and picked up the pieces of the teacup one by one.

Shi Kevin was about to step out, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the little girl's face, he took the step back again, looked her up and down for a moment, and asked, "This official hasn't seen you before!"

The little maid who was collecting the fragments of the teacup hurriedly lowered her head and said, "The maidservant is a new maid. ”

"Oh, no wonder the official looks at you. Skevin's gaze fell on her face, stared at her for a long time before asking, "What's your name?"
