Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it a long time ago, there are three ways to go out from the east gate, go all the way to the left to the middle of the road, where the Tang camp is in full swing with the imperial army, and there is nowhere to stay if you go;

"All that's left is the official road in the middle to the east. Although the east is far away, it has always been a stable and prosperous place, and Li Yuan's men and horses are not so quick to fight over for the time being, and our Xiahou family has always had a lot of industrial contacts in the east. You should go to the east to settle down, and when you have the opportunity to return to the north in the future, you can restore your family business. ”

Many clansmen of the Xiahou family unanimously persuaded Xiahou Feiyang to leave immediately, Xiahou Feiyang understood the family's intentions, and in order to preserve the family's inheritance, he finally agreed to leave immediately. He knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xiahou Yuan and the other clansmen, got up with tears in his eyes, and prepared to leave. At this time, a family member reported that it was Bai Wuya who wanted to see him.

Before Xiahou Yuan could come out to greet him, Bai Wuya had already rushed into the inner hall impatiently, and as he walked inside, he shouted: "Good news, good news!"

Bai Wuya held a letter high in his hand, walked into the inner hall in three steps and two steps, and shouted at Xiahou Yuan: "Brother Xiahou, I just received a flying pigeon from Yanzhao Pass, saying that it is .......? What's wrong with you? Why is the whole family crying? The Black Dragon City has not been broken yet, so you will be separated from life and death so soon? Don't worry, the rescue has arrived!"

Everyone in the Xiahou family was shocked, and Xiahou Yuan hurriedly asked: "Brother Bai, what kind of rescue? Is it the Songhu Army of Shiziling? I have set up sentry posts all the way to the east, but I can't see the shadow of Shiziling's reinforcements at all, I heard that it will take at least half a month for them to arrive at Black Dragon City, what is the use of this....... this!"

Bai Wuya Ha Luha smiled and said: "Brother Xiahou, you are mistaken, the reinforcements of Shiziling did not come from the east, but from the west, Ha Luha ......"

Xiahou Yuan was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Bai Wuya said: "I just received a flying pigeon message from Yan Zhao Pass, saying that Shi Ziling has taken Yan Zhao Pass lightly without blood, and is leading the elite of the army to Black Dragon City at full speed. As long as you hold on for a few more days, Ziling should be able to arrive!"

"What? Shi Ziling took down Yan Zhao Pass?"

Everyone in the Xiahou family was shocked, and Xiahou Yuan asked in shock: "Didn't Shiziling come from the east by the official road? How could it be possible to go around Yanzhao Pass? Is it possible? Brother Bai, don't be joking at this time, okay?"

Bai Wuya said unhappily: "Who is joking with you! Now is the time for the life and death of Black Dragon City, and the century-old foundation of my Shura Mansion is also in this Black Dragon City, if Li Yuan comes in, I will have to pat my ass and run for my life, how can I be in the mood to joke with you?"

"This flying pigeon biography clearly says that Ziling borrowed the south, first attacked Mijing City successfully, and then went north to take Yanzhao Pass lightly, and also captured Li Xiaoyao alive. Now that he's rushing to Black Dragon City, how could I be joking with you!"

"Take advantage of the south, sneak attack on Mijing City, take Yan Zhao Pass lightly?"

Xiahou Feiyang's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "I understand! It turns out that the real Shiziling is taking the route of Southern Narcissus City, and his purpose must be to sneak attack Li Yuan's lair from behind, and then go north to join us, hoping to make Li Yuan's army suffer from the enemy and win in one fell swoop!"

As soon as Xiahou Feiyang said this, everyone gradually understood, and everyone was surprised for a while. Xiahou Yuan snatched the book in Bai Wuya's hand, and read it carefully, but his face was full of joy and sorrow.

Bai Wuya said strangely: "Brother Xiahou, why did you see such good news, but you didn't seem to be very happy?"

Xiahou Yuan sighed heavily and said: "Shi Ziling's trick of detouring and sneaking attack is indeed clever, and his ability to quietly and smoothly capture Mijing City and Yan Zhao Pass also shows the strength of his strength and means, but unfortunately it will take ten days to travel from Yan Zhao Pass to our Black Dragon City at the earliest, and our Black Dragon City is already at the end of the strong crossbow and is about to fall, where can we wait for ten days!"

Bai Wuya hurriedly said: "You look carefully, this biography was written by Ziling's military advisor Ma Yu, saying that Ziling had taken down Yanzhao Pass seven days ago, and he didn't stay and went north to come to the rescue." Ma Yu hopes that we can try our best to cooperate with Ziling's actions to form a flank attack on Li Yuan's army, that is to say, there are three days at most, and Ziling's reinforcements will be able to arrive!"

Xiahou Yuan's spirits perked up, but then he still sighed and said: "Although three days is very short, it's a pity that with our current strength, I'm afraid that we won't be able to withstand even one day, alas......"

Bai Wuya hurriedly said: "Brother Xiahou, you are also the overlord of one side, why don't you have any fighting spirit at the moment of life and death? I am ready to bring all the disciples of the Shura Mansion to join forces with you to fight the enemy! Isn't it just to hold on for another three days, what is there to worry about!"

Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly: "Don't tell Brother Bai that all our troops have been exhausted in the desperate struggle a few days ago, and the 200,000 troops of the two major legions that have been established for many years are now less than 10,000 people left. ”

"Alas, our Xiahou family is really a defeat this time, and it is no longer the overlord of one side, I only hope that Feiyang can flee to the east to settle down, and if he has the opportunity to regroup and revive the prestige of our Xiahou family. As for whether the Black Dragon City is broken or not, I don't care anymore, I have decided to live and die with this city. ”

"Brother Bai, the two of us have known each other for many years, and we have had some grievances, and you are still willing to fight side by side with me at this time, which really touches me, but unfortunately I have nothing to repay. Li Yuan has always been ruthless, and after he sweeps the north, he will definitely wipe out our original forces, and he will never allow your Shura Mansion to have a place, so I advise you to leave as soon as possible. ”

Xiahou Yuan turned his head and said to Xiahou Feiyang: "Feiyang, without further ado, you better hurry up and pack your things and flee on the road, I will go to the city tower to personally supervise the battle, even if I die, I will kill a few more people from Li Yuan's army to avenge the children of our Xiahou family!"

Xiahou Feiyang knew that what his father said was the truth, and with the remaining troops they had now, it could be said that the once invincible Xiahou family had been defeated. As for the defense of Black Dragon City, not to mention holding on for three days, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it in one day. But I finally waited for the reinforcements from Shiziling, but I couldn't hold on for a few days, and I was really unwilling.

Many clansmen of the Xiahou family were also in a similar mood, they finally heard the good news that Shi Ziling took down Yan Zhao Guansheng and captured Li Xiaoyao, but calculated the time, but it was impossible to hold on until the moment when the reinforcements arrived, the sorrow in their hearts was really indescribable, and everyone couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

Bai Wuya said angrily: "At such a critical juncture, you don't want to mobilize all the strength in your family to fight to the death with Li Yuan, but you admit defeat early, no wonder you are not Li Yuan's opponent!"

"Now that Ziling is leading the army to come, of course we can fight for a day, and it would be good to be able to hold on for an extra hour! Maybe my good son-in-law arrived in only eight days?

Xiahou Feiyang's body was shocked, and he raised his head and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Father, Uncle Bai is right, I have heard that Shiziling is a genius in the sky, he was able to take Mijing City and Yanzhao Pass so quietly, and he also captured Li Xiaoyao alive, which shows that the strength of his leading commander is extraordinary." Maybe they'll be able to get there in advance, but we don't know?"

"It may not be possible to march three days in advance, but if they march so fast, it may be possible to arrive half a day or a day earlier. We still have 10,000 troops left, and it stands to reason that if we defend desperately, there is still hope to hold on for a day, as long as we inform the news that Shiziling's reinforcements are coming, under the stimulation of major good news, it may not be impossible to hold on for another day, in this way, maybe Black Dragon City will be saved!"

Hearing Xiahou Feiyang say this, everyone in the Xiahou family was in high spirits, and they seemed to see vitality again.

Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Brother Bai is right, I have suffered repeated defeats recently, and I am indeed too pessimistic. If our people know that the reinforcements of the Dao are coming, they will definitely be greatly boosted, as long as they can still show the courage to fight to the death with Li Yuan's army outside the city a few days ago, there is still great hope for holding on for one day, maybe it is not necessary to really wait for the reinforcements from Shiziling!"

"Without further ado, I will personally take people to the city to supervise the battle, flying, for the sake of safety, you ...... You better take your ladies and relatives from the east gate first, we will be here for you." ”

Xiahou Feiyang said loudly: "Father, Feiyang will never leave at this critical moment of life and death, I will go and inform my subordinates of the news that reinforcements are coming." Without waiting for Xiahou Yuan to stop him, Xiahou Feiyang quickly turned around and walked out of the house, and ran directly in the direction of the city tower.

Xiahou Yuan couldn't stop it, looked at the back of the eldest son in a hurry, and sighed: "In this case, it is okay, except for the female dependents of the family, all the other clansmen will go with me to defend the city, let's fight him again to see if our Xiahou family's qi is exhausted!"

Bai Wuya Ha Lu Ha smiled and said: "This is about the same! My old Bai has confidence in my good son-in-law, we will definitely be able to wait for Ziling to arrive in time! I will also take my disciples to the city tower to help, and everyone will have a good fight with Li Yuan, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Xiahou Feiyang ordered people to capture Shiziling Mijing City and Yanzhao Pass as quickly as possible, and the news that he was rushing to the rescue of Black Dragon City spread, and called on the soldiers and civilians of the whole city to help defend the city with the same hatred.

Soon, everyone in the entire Black Dragon City knew about this important news, and for a while, the crowd was excited, not only the confidence of the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers was greatly increased, but even the people in the city were extremely excited, and many people picked up their weapons at home and resolutely joined the team defending the city.
