Su Zhirou was shocked and said, "Little girl, you are in Deyue Tower, how can you know so much about the world's major affairs?

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "The guests of Deyue Tower come from all over the world, and there are all kinds of characters from all over the world, and it is the most well-informed place in the world. ”

Su Zhirou was puzzled: "Although the beggar gang is well-informed, it is impossible for them to know that the Dao Imperial Court is going to attack such a confidential event as Songhu City, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "The sneak attack of the Silver Yan Legion coming to Songhu City is indeed extremely secret, and the outside world still knows nothing, I am worried that the defenders of Songhu City will be caught off guard, so I am in a hurry to come to inform Yulan, I hope you can prepare early." As for the source of the news, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it's the Elder of the Huguo Temple who went to the central part of the country with the imperial crusade army. ”

"Elder ?......"

Su Zhirou was even more surprised to hear that the news of Su Xiao's novel came from the most famous Elder Strange Man Dian today, and Yu Yulan, Xiao Hui and others didn't feel so strange because they knew the true identity of Elder Dao Dian and Su Xiaoxiao. However, the imminent attack on Songhu City was not trivial, and the stakes were very high, so Yu Yulan hurriedly asked for the details.

It turned out that Dian Weiye deliberately offered a plan after receiving Shi Ziling's secret notice, which slowed down the offensive rhythm of Luo Linhai's two major armies, so that the imperial army could not successfully defeat the Tang camp for a long time.

However, with the passage of time, the advantage of the imperial army in strength has become increasingly apparent, although the city defense of Zhongzhou City is strong, the soldiers are sufficient, but after a long time, after all, it has gradually shown a decline under the continuous siege of the imperial army. If it weren't for Luo Linhai's efforts to preserve the strength of his Yellow Dragon Legion, which had kept the newly formed White Lion Legion charging in front, Zhongzhou City might have been breached at this time.

However, at this time, the news of Shi Ziling's unexpected victory in the northwest spread all over the world, and the imperial court quickly reacted, allowing Hui Yinghong to lead the Yinyan Army to pretend to support Luo Linhai to the central part, but in fact it was to take the east directly, hoping to take Songhu City, which was empty of troops, in one fell swoop. This not only effectively controlled the eastern town, but also made the Songhu Army of Shiziling no longer have a foundation.

Hui Yinghong's Yinyan Legion only greeted Luo Linhai when it passed through the central part of the country, and marched directly to Songhu City without stopping, and along the way, he completely covered his legion banner and divided the legion into several branches to advance separately.

Luo Linhai knew that there was nothing after he said it, but Elder Dian Weiye was very surprised. Dian Weiye knew that Shiziling's expedition to the northwest must have been exhausted, and the existing military strength in Songhu City was only afraid that it was not enough to resist Hui Yinghong's Yinyan Legion, not to mention that the Yinyan Legion was extremely low-key along the way, if they succeeded in one fell swoop, Shiziling's great cause would suffer a heavy blow.

As the Immortal No. 3 from the Star Continent, although Dian Weiye didn't care much about which one on the Mingyue Continent succeeded in the hegemony, he was eager to turn back to the Star Continent, and he pinned all his hopes on Shi Ziling, of course, he didn't want this Immortal No. 5 to be exterminated by the imperial court early.

Dian Weiye immediately secretly passed the message to his old friend Bao Buzhi's cronies, and asked Bao Buzhi to tell Su Xiaoxiao, the fourth immortal who was in Songhu City.

Su Xiaoxiao has always been very concerned about the movement of Shiziling, as soon as he heard the news from Bao Buzhi, he knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately came to Shiziling's capital mansion in person, and informed Yu Yulan and Xiaohui of the situation.

After briefly explaining the ins and outs of the matter, Su Xiaoxiao said: "According to what Elder Dian said, Hui Yinghong's Silver Swallow Legion has been coming from Zhongzhou for a while, and if you calculate the time, it should be there in the next few days." I know that Bai Qingshuang, who is now in charge of guarding Songhu City, is also one of Shi Ziling's wives, so I want to inform Yulan first, so that you can prepare early. ”

As soon as they heard that the Silver Swallow Legion would arrive in the next few days, Yu Yulan, Su Zhirou and the others were quite anxious. Although Su Zhirou didn't understand why Elder Dian of the World's Strange People had a relationship with Su Xiaoxiao and Shi Ziling, she also saw that Yu Yulan trusted Su Xiaoxiao very much.

At this time, Su Zhirou didn't have time to ask more about the reason, but said anxiously: "If this is the case, we must quickly inform Qingshuang to prepare early." Otherwise, there are not many troops in the city, and if the enemy suddenly attacks again, the consequences will be really unimaginable!"

Yu Yulan said: "Since the little girl's news is from Elder Dian, it will not be wrong to think about it. Now that the situation is urgent, we must immediately inform Qingshuang to get ready, and on the other hand, we must immediately inform Lord Su and Master Ma of them, so that they can concentrate all their forces to help Qingshuang fight against the strong enemy. Without further ado, let's go separately and inform Qingshuang and Master Su. ”

Su Xiaoxiao sent the news, and Zhilu said that he couldn't help much in the future, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.

Yu Yulan and Xiaohui were very grateful to Su Xiaoxiao for sending the news in time, and the two personally sent Su Xiaoxiao to the sedan chair at the door, and after Su Xiaoxiao left, the two immediately went to the military camp of the Songhu Army to inform Bai Qingshuang. Su Zhirou immediately returned to her father's castle guard mansion and informed Su Bairen of the shocking news.

Since Shi Ziling led the troops to leave, the Songhu Legion has been under the command of Bai Qingshuang, before this, the daily training of the legion has already taken shape, Bai Qingshuang only needs to follow Shi Ziling's original deployment arrangement to urge the soldiers to complete the daily tactical training.

Because Zhao Xiong and Su Songyi pretended to be Shiziling's Songhu Legion to attract attention on the official road to Black Dragon City this time, they almost brought all the city defenders in Songhu City, leaving only 5,000 men and horses in the city. In order to facilitate management, Su Bairen handed over the 5,000 men and horses to Bai Qingshuang under the unified leadership, anyway, Bai Qingshuang was originally the deputy general of the general battalion.

Bai Qingshuang also merged the men and horses of these general battalions into the Songhu Legion to participate in daily tactical training. Although the training was hard, because Bai Qingshuang was the deputy general of the general battalion, and now he was the left commander of the Songhu Legion, and he was also the wife of Shi Ziling, the men and horses of these general battalions were very obedient to Bai Qingshuang and had no complaints.

The tactics and martial arts training of the Songhu Regiment are unique, and the strength of these soldiers of the general battalion has also greatly improved after a period of training.

At this time, Bai Qingshuang was discussing tomorrow's schedule with several adjutant generals in the barracks, and suddenly a sergeant stepped forward to announce that Yu Yulan and Xiaohui had come to see her. Bai Qingshuang was a little surprised, Yu Yulan and Xiaohui never came to the barracks usually, but it seemed a little unusual to come to visit at this time.

Bai Qingshuang hurriedly went out of the camp to greet them, and when the two of them were welcomed into their exclusive barracks, Yu Yulan and Xiaohui immediately told Su Xiaoxiao the news. Bai Qingshuang was extremely surprised, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Yu Yulan had already thought about it on the way here, and she said to Bai Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, in my opinion, the first step now is to send people to the outskirts of Songhu City as soon as possible to detect the news, and see where Hui Yinghong's Silver Swallow Legion has arrived. The second step is naturally to strengthen the defense, although I don't know how many troops there are in Songhu City now, but I don't think it is enough to directly confront the enemy army, I think it is better for us to hold on for the time being. ”

Although Bai Qingshuang was the left commander of the Songhu Army, he always thought that staying in Songhu City was just an idle position, but he didn't expect that suddenly the enemy army was about to come to the city, and he was nervous and excited for a while.

She said to Yu Yulan: "The Yinyan Legion has 100,000 troops, and I only have more than 20,000 horses in my hands, even if you add the city defenders and Lord Ma Dai's auxiliary defense army, it is only 40,000 people, and it is indeed a little difficult to fight head-to-head." ”

"However, the walls of our Songhu City are strong, and the fortifications have been completely repaired in place as early as when Fujun was there, and there have always been fixed defensive training routines to practice frequently, as long as they are well prepared, they should not be afraid of being attacked by the enemy in a short time. ”

Afterwards, Bai Qingshuang immediately sent a fast horse detective to the outside of Songhu City to investigate, and at the same time ordered all city gates to be closed, and no one was allowed to open the door without her military order.

While Bai Qingshuang was busy arranging defensive measures, Su Bairen, the lord of the city guard, had also heard the news of the imperial court sending troops to raid from Su Zhirou. Su Bairen was extremely shocked, he didn't believe Su Zhirou's words at all, and asked Su Zhirou again and again about the source of the news.

Su Zhirou had been taken care of by Yu Yulan before she came, and it was inconvenient to reveal Su Xiaoxiao's true identity, so she only said that it was Shi Ziling's friend Elder Dian, who entrusted someone from Zhongzhou. Even so, Su Bairen still felt incredulous, and said again and again:

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! I have always been loyal to the court, and I have never rebelled, let alone thought of becoming my own king. I just want to be my governor of the east and the castle keeper in peace, is that also wrong?"

"You say that the imperial court will send troops to attack me without saying hello? This is ridiculous! If the imperial court wants to deal with me, there is no need to send troops at all! When did I resist the decree?"

Su Zhi said softly: "Dad, what will happen to you if the imperial court really decrees to exempt you from your crimes? Although you have never thought of becoming the king of your own country, you are also used to being the lord of the east, if the court really wants to depose you, you will definitely not compromise on everything, right?"

"This ?......"

Su Bairen was speechless for a while, thinking about it, he was used to being a first-class member in the east, except for the Duanmu family, he was basically the lord of the east, if the court really wanted to remove him, he might not be willing to obey orders. It's just that the news that the imperial court sent troops to raid Songhu City was too sudden, and Su Bairen couldn't accept it for a while.

Su Bairen said: "I still don't believe it! Even if the court wants to move me, there must be a reason, right? I have always followed the rules, what did I do wrong? The court wants to do this to me?"
