In the next two months, Yicheng, Lechi City, and Qiusheng City were recovered one after another. Zhao Ren and his entourage came outside the border city, during which they also repelled several waves of enemy troops who came to investigate in the border city. When it was almost dawn, the border city was still quiet, Zhao Ren frowned, and said in his heart: "Something happened?" Looking at the imposing army, he was silent, and continued to wait for the reply of the shadow guard, thinking that it was good that the shadow and the others went to answer.

It didn't take long for Shadow One to hurry back with four shadow guards, but all five of them were injured to varying degrees. At that moment, Zhao Ren couldn't ask the reason, and hurriedly ordered everyone to use healing charms to treat injuries. Not only were these Shadow Guards the most trusted guards of the palace, but they also played a huge role in this reconquest of the city. After several people recovered, Ying Yi described the experience of the trip on behalf of the shadow guards. It turned out that the shadow guard also received a message and was going to assassinate the commander of the border city today, but in fact, he also mixed in, it stands to reason that there is an invisibility charm, and the assassination should be very smooth, but there are two more people in the commander's residence. Shadow Guard was worried that taking off too long would affect the eldest prince's plan, so he ignored the two more and preemptively attacked, and it was these two people who caused the failure of the mission.

One of them was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Confucian student, who drank through the Shadow Guard's hiding when he stabbed at the Border City Commander, and the Border City Commander who was reminded was very experienced and bowed sideways, only injuring his arm. The other was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who used his sword to block the attack behind the shadow guard. After a slight reaction, Confucian Sheng and the commander joined the attack, in the face of the siege of the three, the shadow guard could not stop, the invisibility charm could not be used, the shadow guard was almost left behind, but fortunately, the shadow and others rescued in time. It's just that more and more guards are coming, and as soon as Kage knows that the assassination failed, he leads the four of them to rush out of the Commander's Mansion, killing many guards along the way before escaping the city.

After arresting a few live mouths and some torture, I learned that the middle-aged man in the Commander's Mansion was Xu Hu, a sword idiot trained here by the Qin Empire, from Qinglan Academy. And the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Confucian student was Zhao Ren's classmate and friend, Yan Wuying from the Yan Empire. The name of Qinglan Academy is known to everyone, no one knows, and when they heard that Xu Hu is a master of using swords, everyone has changed color, Qinglan Academy is a place where you can practice the strongest swordsmanship in the mainland. Needless to say, this Yan Wuying, with him, the current border city must be arranged like an iron bucket.

Zhao Ren glanced at everyone, and said in a firm tone: "Now that our army is several times larger than the enemy, it is definitely impossible to give up here, what do you think?" Zhang Qing organized the following language: "The eldest prince, trap them for a while, just attack them, the army of Tianping Kingdom is trapped in the border city, I'm afraid it won't last long, right?"

"How long can we hold on to grain and grass?" Zhao Ren threw out a realistic question. Hearing this, Zhang Qing and the others suddenly remembered that all the victories were replenished after the war, and they were prepared at the beginning, but then they slowly ignored the most important issue of grain and grass, and after thinking about it, Zhang Qing replied: "It can last for three days!"

"Even if we send a message to the nearest city, I'm afraid it will take five days to get the support of grain and grass, right?" Zhao Ren frowned slightly.

Then he said fiercely: "Even if we eat wild beasts, drink spring water, eat wild vegetables, and chew grass roots, we have to persist for five days." Zhang Qing also didn't want to fly away from the upcoming victory, if he could recapture the border city, he would be considered a great achievement, so he immediately responded and immediately sent people to the nearest border city to raise grain and grass.

At this moment, Zhang Fei stood up: "The eldest prince, general, it may be a good thing that you can't capture the city immediately." Seeing that Zhao Ren and Zhang Qing were both very puzzled, Zhang Fei continued: "Now that our army is several times larger than the enemy, and the enemy is surrounded by groups, the city will be ours sooner or later. If we accidentally miss one or two small fish and let them go back to the city of Tianping Kingdom to ask for help, are we ...... ""Surround the point to help!" Zhang Qing's original trace of uncertain inspiration immediately became clear, and he said in his heart: "Zhao Wangfu is really deep, and a little companion boy can think so thoroughly about military affairs!"

Zhao Ren's heart was also alive: "I'm afraid that we don't need to deliberately release the water, Tianping Kingdom will also send someone over, but we can add some materials and pass it on." Saying that, several people present laughed gloomily.

"Waste, why haven't you passed the news yet?Do you want Prince Ben to accompany you waste to die here?" Yan Wuying, who had been besieged for three days, saw the increasingly cut off food and grass, and Yan Wuying began to get anxious. The commander of the border city was also anxious, but he didn't show it, and he said that the prince of the Yan Empire, when the wind was smooth, he had a good demeanor, and this encounter with adversity was revealed, but he was a small kingdom general who didn't dare to offend, so he had to say: "Several groups of spies have been sent, but they are all destroyed, and the enemy army outside is black and oppressive, I am afraid that there are no less than 100,000, and we only have 20,000, it is okay to defend the city, go out and send it to death, or wait for reinforcements!"

Yan Wuying thought of some methods, but was denied one by one, because these strategies have been tried by the border city commanders, you said to forcibly break through, the spies were shot by the archers of the Tianhe Kingdom as soon as they left the city gate, and the remaining half were surrounded and killed by the warriors of the Tianhe Kingdom, and one or two broke through with colorful colors, and there were shadow guards waiting to pick up the leak. You said that you ran away at night, and there were torches lit everywhere outside the city, and it was so bright that you could run anywhere. Even if it was a hole in the ground, it was thought of by the commanders in the border city, and it either collapsed halfway through, or water poured in. All the way is blocked.

Seeing Yan Wuying's performance at this time, Xu Hu felt a little disappointed, the eldest husband should be frank and honest, and thousands of setbacks should be faced head-on, how can he anger others when he encounters setbacks, and recently he vaguely heard that he actually attacked his classmates and friends behind his back, and he looked down on him even more in his heart, so he had the intention of leaving, but he left in a dignified manner, looked at the sword in his hand, and decided to go out to fight. Knowing his identity, the commander didn't dare to stop him, and sent someone to shout at the moment.

Zhao Ren saw that Xu Hu wanted to go it alone, and thought that it would be best not to involve Qin Guo. After assessing the strength of his own side, he decided to respond to Xu Hu's request, but he only proposed that Xu Hu had won and naturally left freely, and if he failed, he needed to be left to Zhao Ren. Xu Hu responded by himself.

Originally, Zhao Ren hoped that Ying Yi would fight, not to mention Ying Yi's strength, the most powerful shadow guard in Zhao Wangfu, had a very great hope of winning. At this time, Zhang Fei asked to go to the battle. Zhao Ren showed an embarrassed expression, this Zhang Fei was sent by his younger brother, he couldn't refute his face, and he didn't know much about his strength. Ying Yi stood up and relieved the siege: "Prince, I am not Zhang Fei's opponent. Zhao Ren was surprised, but he believed that Ying Yi would not lie, and even if Xu Hu won, it would have no impact on the big war, so he decided to agree to Zhang Fei to fight.

Xu Hu saw that the Tianhe Army sent out a child about ten years old, and he was furious, he just wanted to clean up this child and see how the leading generals over there stepped down, and immediately said: "Xu Hu of Qinglan Academy, child, report your name." Zhang Fei said lightly: "So, Zhang Fei, a servant of Zhao Wangfu." "Pose a Tai Chi sword starting pose at the moment.

Xu Hu has also practiced swords for many years, and when he saw Zhang Fei's posture, he felt extraordinary, no longer caring about Zhang Fei's age and identity, and put away his thoughts, arched his fist slightly, to show his apologies, and slowly pulled out the long sword, and the stormy sword moves were displayed by him, which was worthy of being from Qinglan Academy, and everyone was dazzled. Zhang Fei unhurriedly switched his gesture to seal and close, Xu Hu only felt that the shadow in front of him was full of sword shadows, no matter how fast his sword moves were, he couldn't insert them, but his offensive was messy. Zhang Fei found an opportunity to use a trick to pick up the stars and call for a fight, and led Xu Hu and his sword to the side. Another move, Qinglong turned around and put the long sword on Xu Hu's neck.

Xu Hu never thought that a ten-year-old child would defeat himself in just four moves. Is he still a genius of Qinglan Academy? It's just that he is not a person who can't afford to lose, since he lost, he was tied by Tianhe Jiashi, that is, he didn't resist, he didn't say a word, he just looked at Zhang Fei, his eyes were shining, his heart was full of swordsmanship to defeat him, and he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Ren replied instead of Zhang Fei: "I'll talk about the swordsmanship later, but I'm afraid I will have to wronged Brother Xu to stay in the barracks for a period of time at this time, and then let you leave when the war is over!" Xu Hu was a little disappointed, and felt that since he lost, he should bear the consequences, not to mention that the person who made the sword was here, and he didn't want to leave so early, so he replied: "Since I lost, I will admit this account, and I will listen to your arrangement." After saying that, he followed the two armor soldiers out of the barracks.
