Shangguan Xiu and the others were discussing in the hall, and a soldier hurriedly came in to report: "My lord, a group of people from outside the mansion said that they have something important to ask to see your lord!"

"Who is it?" Shangguan Xiu asked.

"The other party didn't say anything, just asked me to hand over such things to adults. As he spoke, the soldier walked up to Shangguan Xiu and handed him a bronze medal.

Shangguan Xiu took it and looked at it, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he quietly handed back the bronze medal and said, "Please let them in." ”

"Yes, sir!" said the soldier, and ran out quickly.

"Brother Xiu, who is here?" Luo Ren asked curiously.

Shangguan Xiu frowned slightly and said, "Tongtianmen." ”

The people present were secretly surprised, didn't the people from Tongtianmen escort the county lord to visit Shah, why did they suddenly come back?

Everyone was pondering in their hearts, and more than a dozen people in black walked in from outside. One of the leaders Shangguan Xiu knows, and he is also one of the subordinates who most often appear next to Tang Wanyun, as for his name, Shangguan Xiu does not know.

Walking into the hall, the men in black didn't seem to expect that there would be so many people here. The black-clothed man led by him was stunned for a moment, walked up to Shangguan Xiu, and arched his hand and said, "In Xia Wei Tian, see Lord Shangguan." ”

It turned out that his name was Wei Tian. Shangguan Xiu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Brother Wei doesn't have to be polite. "Although the people of Tongtianmen do not have official positions in the imperial court, people know in their hearts that Tongtianmen is actually an institution of the imperial court, but it is not named. The latest chapter of нéi Уāпgê has been updated

Shangguan Xiu said slowly: "Brother Wei has worked hard all the way, please sit down." ”

Wei Tian shook his head and said, "This time I made a special trip to Jinzhou, and it was a secret order from the county lord on behalf of me!"

"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu's face straightened, stood up, and asked, "The county lord's secret order is ......"

Wei Tian said: "At present, the Ningnan army has sent 30,000 troops and is marching towards Xibu Mountain, and the county lord ordered Lord Shangguan to go to Xibu Mountain in person to lead the soldiers of our Feng Army, and resist the attack of the Ningnan Army no matter what." ”

Hearing this, everyone present gasped. Shi Kaiwen led an army of 200,000 to attack Zhenxi, and outside the pass, Ningnan sent another 30,000 troops to attack Xibu Mountain, you must know that Ningnan dispatched the Central Army, and its combat power was much stronger than that of a rebellion like Shi Kaiwen.

Shangguan Xiu frowned and didn't speak, Luo Ren hurriedly said: "Brother Xiu, the 30,000 army in Ningnan is attacking Xibu Mountain, and our brothers in Xibu Mountain can't resist it no matter what, Brother Xiu should immediately summon the brothers back to Guannei!"

"No!" Wei Tian said categorically: "The garrison of the Zhenxi Army in Xibu Mountain must not only be untouched, but must be held, and must be defended!"

Luo Ren clenched his fists and said angrily: "Lord Wei may not know yet, now Shi Kaiwen is leading an army of 200,000 to attack my Jinchuan County, and we can't transfer a single soldier or pawn, Xibu Mountain only has 2,000 brothers, how can I resist the attack of 30,000 troops in Ningnan?"

Wei Tian was also stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Even if Shi Kaiwen's rebels don't come to attack Zhenxi, the Zhenxi army can't send a single soldier to Xibu Mountain!"

"This ...... Why is that?"

"The county lord said that this battle is a crucial battle, and it is also a battle to show the majesty of our army. If our Feng army only uses 2,000 people to resist the attack of Ningnan's 30,000 army, it means that the combat power of our Feng army is ten times that of the enemy, and the Shah tribes will not dare to lean towards Ningnan in any case, Ningnan wants to camp troops in Shah, attack our country, and borrow troops from Shah will all be in vain, if our army increases in Xibu Mountain, so that our army's strength is equal to the strength of Ningnan army, even if it successfully resists the offensive of Ningnan army, the position of Shah tribes will still waver, and in the end, it is very likely that they will still fall to Ningnan's side. As he spoke, Wei Tian looked at Shangguan Xiu and said with a solemn face: "Lord Shangguan, do you understand the county lord's hard work?"

"We understand the county lord's hard work, but who understands our suffering?" Luo Ren said urgently: "My Zhenxi Army is a local army, and its combat strength cannot be compared with the Central Army, and now I have to use two thousand to fight thirty thousand, and I have to go to Brother Xiu in person, this ...... This is clearly to put Brother Xiu and the two thousand brothers to death!"

Wei Tian himself knew that this request was too much, and it was really difficult for a strong man, but he was not the one who made the decision, but the one who conveyed the order. He narrowed his eyes and said: "The country is in danger, life and death are on the front line, if everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is unwilling to sacrifice, how can we save the country? The county lord said that as long as Lord Shangguan can hold on to Xibu Mountain for two days, it will give our country the upper hand at the negotiation table, and besides, my brothers and I will fight side by side with Lord Shangguan, and if we can sacrifice our lives for the country, it will also be our honor!" As he spoke, he raised his hands and bowed to Shangguan Xiu to the ground.

"No!" Luo Ren was still resolute in his opposition, and he said with a straight face: "Brother Xiu is the commander of my Zhenxi Army, and now the 200,000 rebels are menacing, and Brother Xiu is not here, how can we fight this battle? If Zhenxi falls into the hands of the rebels, what is the point of our persistence in Xibu Mountain?"

At this time, Shi Kewen led the army to attack Zhenxi, which was also a situation that Wei Tian did not expect, he frowned tightly and was silent, and in the end, he could only look at Shangguan Xiu and wait for him to reply. Shangguan Xiu didn't speak, weighing the stakes.

Tang Wanyun's request is not deliberately embarrassing or framing herself, as Tang Wanyun said, if she can really take the 2,000 brothers of Xibu Mountain to block Ningnan's 30,000 army, it can be said that he will become famous in a war, which is enough to deter the Shah tribes, even if he can't let the Shah people stand on the side of the Wind Country, but it is enough to make them dare not fall to Ningnan.

If Dong Zhe can really persuade the Guanglin rebels and lead them to attack the nests of Jiang Lian and Geng Qing's two rebels, so that the two armies can come to the rescue, then it is not a big problem for their own soldiers to resist the rebels of Shi Kaiwen's family.

Shangguan Xiu silently calculated in his heart, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Wei Tian took a deep look at Shangguan Xiu and said, "If Lord Shangguan is really in trouble, then, please Lord Shangguan hand over the two thousand men and horses of Xibu Mountain to me, and my brotherhood from Tongtianmen will fight the enemy army to the death in Xibu Mountain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Wei Tian, as if he was considering the plan he said.

The rest of the people were happy, as long as they didn't let Brother Xiu go to death, the people of Tongtian wanted to send them to death, so let them go, the only pity was that they had to sacrifice the lives of their more than 2,000 brothers in vain.

Shangguan Xiu, who had always been silent, suddenly asked, "What does the county lord mean that our army only needs to hold on to Xibu Mountain for two days?"

"Yes!"

"And what about two days later?"

"After two days, the Ningnan army will only withdraw its troops. ”

"Why?"

The Shah people only gave Ningnan two days to fight in Shah's territory, and Ningnan also assured Shah that if the fighting was inconclusive after two days, Ningnan's army would retreat back to the border between Ningnan and Shah. ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded and muttered thoughtfully, "I see." ”

"Lord Shangguan means ......"

"I'll go to Mount Sib. Shangguan Xiu said word by word.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color, including Wei Tian and other people who passed through the Heavenly Gate. They never thought that Shangguan Xiu obviously had every reason to shirk the matter, but he agreed to it, which is really incredible.

Luo Ren and the others were in a hurry, and said one after another: "Brother Xiu!" "My lord, this battle is obviously going to die, my lord, don't act impulsively, think twice!"

"The 2,000 soldiers of Xibu Mountain are all our brothers, either I will transfer them back to the Guannai, or I will accompany them to live and die together. I'm not going to put these two thousand brothers in a desperate situation and sit idly by, you know?"

"Brother Xiu, this battle is obviously to send you to death......"

"Who said that this battle must be sent to death?!, my dignified Feng army, will I still be afraid of his mediocre Ningnan army?" Shangguan Xiu glared at everyone fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "No one needs to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind, even if it is a death, I will make Ningnan pay the corresponding price!"

"Brother Xiu......"

"If Shah really falls to the side of Ningnan, we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and we will also die, now it is better to fight to the death, fight it in Xibu Mountain, if we can succeed in a battle, in the future, my brothers in the Zhenxi Army can also sit back and relax. ”

Everyone understands this truth, but how can 2,000 people fight 30,000 people succeed? Everyone looked at each other, was silent for a moment, and then intervened in unison and said, "Brother Xiu (my lord), I am willing to go to Xibu Mountain together!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, laughed angrily, and asked: "You all go to Xibu Mountain with me, who will guard Zhenxi? Do you want to throw our hometown to Shi Kaiwen? None of you can move, all of you will stay in Zhenxi, and fight to the death against Shi Kaiwen's rebels!"

He was about to go to Mount Sib himself, but he was unwilling to take anyone present, which was even more unacceptable to everyone. Kong Di looked left and right, took the lead in kneeling on his knees, and said loudly: "Please also ask the adults to take back their lives!"

Seeing this, the rest of the people also knelt on the ground one after another, and said in unison: "Brother Xiu (adult) has taken back his life!"

Shangguan Xiu suddenly frowned and said, "What are you doing?

"If Brother Xiu doesn't take back his fate, I will kneel here for a long time and won't get up. ”

"I'll get you up, it's an order!" Shangguan Xiu shouted. After a pause, he added, "Ah Jue and Yufei will go with me to Xibu Mountain. I won't take anyone more than him. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up, obviously not satisfied with Shangguan Xiu's decision.

Shangguan Xiu didn't care what they thought in their hearts, and continued: "During my absence, Luo Ren was the main commander, and Zhan Xiong and An Yifu were the deputy commanders. Speaking of this, he walked up to Luo Ren, grabbed his arm, pulled him up from the ground, and said meaningfully: "Ah Ren, although you are from the Imperial Spirit Martial Academy, you have no experience in commanding troops to fight after all, and this aspect is precisely Yoshisuke's strength, when you are fighting against the enemy, you must listen to Yoshisuke's opinion." "Kneel down and beg Baidu: mobixs
