Hexi Army Battalion.

Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming came together.

Xiao Jiong greeted him at the door of the tent with a smile on his face.

The three of them walked into the camp tent and sat down in the guest of honor, Wang Zhongsi said directly: "Xiao Jiedu, I have already discussed with General Huangfu, tonight our three forces will be united and attack the camp outside the city together. ”

After Xiao Jiong heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.

Obviously, they are both festival envoys and people of the same level, but the other two didn't even find him for discussion, and Wang Zhongsi still spoke in a notice tone.

How does this make Xiao Jiong not angry?

"Now that you've both discussed it, it's up to you to attack on your own! Ben will lead a large army to help you suppress the formation. ”

After Xiao Jiong finished speaking, he picked up the teacup.

Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming saw each other serving tea to the guests, and their expressions suddenly became embarrassed.

Huangfu Weiming relied on his old qualifications, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Jiedu don't be angry, Wang Jiedu is also in order to eliminate the rebellious army as soon as possible, so he is a little anxious." Everyone is fighting for the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, so why make a fuss? ”

"Haha, Ben is not angry!" Xiao Jiong laughed while drinking tea: "General Wang is concerned about the Tang Dynasty and the society, it is too late for the general to be happy, how can he be angry?" ”

His words were full of sarcasm.

How could Wang Zhongsi not hear it?

But now the strength of the Hexi army in Xiao Jiong's hands is urgently needed in order to defeat Xiao Pass as soon as possible.

Wang Zhongsi could only endure and remain silent.

"Xiao Jiedu doesn't have to be like this, Wang Jiedu and I are also here to discuss with you, if you think there is a problem with tonight's sneak attack plan, you can directly put forward your opinion." Huangfu Weiming said sincerely.

Xiao Jiong took a sip of tea with satisfaction after seeing the two of them soften.

"Ben will not think a sneak attack tonight is feasible for three reasons."

"First, in order to be able to launch a general attack on the second day of the second month of February in accordance with His Majesty's holy order, we have been hurrying day and night, and the soldiers have not been rested. It was another morning of fierce fighting, and most of the soldiers must have been out of fitness in the evening. ”

"Second, the enemy's commander is not a mediocre person, and he has just entered the battle, so it is impossible not to prevent our army from sneaking up on it at night. If the enemy sets a trap tonight, our army will surely suffer heavy losses. ”

"Thirdly, the enemy army has a favorable geographical advantage, and our soldiers are not familiar with the surrounding terrain, and at night the lights are blind, and maybe more soldiers are scattered than those killed by the enemy."

"Wang Jiedu, Huangfu Jiedu, is there any truth to what will be analyzed?"

Xiao Jiong looked at the two of them proudly.

"There's a!"

Wang Zhongsi couldn't stand Xiao Jiong's pretense in front of him anymore, and shouted: "As an envoy of a town, you just thought about the difficulty of fighting, why didn't you think that Your Majesty who was far away in Luoyang would also be difficult?" ”

"As a frontier general, we are also a feudal official. Your Majesty entrusted us with the management of a town, but you did not want to kill the enemy to serve the country, but wanted to save the army. If you behave like this, will you have the face to see Your Majesty in the future? ”

"I, the king, disdain to be in the company of a coward like you!"

Wang Zhongsi could see at a glance that Xiao Jiong did not have the slightest intention to attack.

Therefore, after finishing speaking, without waiting for the two people in the camp to react, they strode out.

Seeing this, Huangfu Weiming sighed deeply and hurriedly chased after Wang Zhonghe.

Xiao Jiong stroked his beard and looked at the backs of the two with deep eyes.

"Hehe, let's see!"

From beginning to end, Wang Zhongsi did not take Xiao Jiong in his eyes.

Xiao Jiong didn't know, so he chose to support the troops and wait for Li Linfu's reply from Chang'an.

He also saw the current situation very clearly.

Although Li Longji is powerful, with an army of nearly 500,000,

But Li Maoyue is not a soft persimmon, and there are also more than 100,000 troops.

Although Li Longji in Luoyang has a better chance of winning, this is a situation where Xiao Jiong is not regarded as a variable.

Through today's battle, Xiao Jiong also saw it.

Relying only on the 130,000 troops of Shuofang and Longyou, there is no way to help the 100,000 troops of the 16th guard of the Southern Ya led by Lu Bu.

At this time, Xiao Song was waiting for Chang'an to send back the news.

On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head.

Li Longji thought that he would be able to enter Guanzhong by gathering the armies of all parties to attack together.

But for a whole day, from Tongguan to Wuguan and then to Xiaoguan, there was no progress.

On the contrary, soldiers are being lost everywhere.

After Wang Zhongsi returned to the Shuofang army camp, he immediately turned out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

He wanted to immediately write to Li Longji to impeach Xiao Jiong for supporting the army and respecting himself.

Huangfu Weiming followed in, and was shocked when he saw the content on the fold.

"Why did Wang Jiedu do this? Otherwise, I'll go and persuade Xiao Jiong tomorrow. ”

Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said, "No need to persuade anymore, I think Xiao Jiong has already given birth to two hearts." Don't send troops to attack the city during this time, we have to guard against Xiao Jiong and the enemy army taking the opportunity to sneak attack! ”

"That's not it! Not so much! ”

Huangfu Weiming hurriedly persuaded: "We didn't discuss with Xiao Jiong today, and it is understandable that he is angry." Why bother in front of His Majesty. What's more, His Majesty may not necessarily agree to the change of generals in battle. ”

"There is no need to say more about the Emperor's Festival! I believe that Your Majesty can distinguish Xiao Jiong's sinister intentions, after all, he is the person promoted by the treacherous minister Li Linfu. ”

At this moment, Wang Zhongsi has already written a recital.

After he picked it up and inspected it, he immediately sealed the fire paint and sent his own soldiers away immediately.

Huangfu Wei knew that Wang Zhonghei had already made up his mind, so he no longer persuaded him.

His heart also began to mourn silently for Xiao Jiong.

After all, Wang Zhonghe, as the adopted son of Emperor Li Longji, has a natural trust bonus.

Emperor Li Longji could not veto Wang Zhongde's performance.

When waiting for the edict to arrive, maybe it will be the time when Xiao Jiong's head hits the ground!

Huangfu Weiming thought so in his heart.

Tongguan.

Li Mao saw that the enemy army had not organized a decent attack since this afternoon, and immediately understood Li Longji's thoughts.

"Zhao Gao, immediately give orders to Gao Shun and Li Guangbi, let them pay attention to defense, the enemy army is very likely to divide up and come."

"At the same time, we must also pass the order to Chang'an and let Li Linfu recruit new soldiers."

Defending a city is almost always a war of attrition.

If no accident happens, Li Longji will definitely continue to besiege the major passes until there are no troops available in his hands.

Therefore, it is extremely important to be able to constantly replenish the new recruits to the front.

Li Mao was still thinking about whether there were any other questions to add, when he suddenly saw a team of light horses coming from the rear.

"Don't be the news of an accident at any pass!"

At this time, Li Mao's heart was in her throat.

As long as one of the four major passes in the pass is lost, what awaits him will be defeat and death.
