Shen Qing looked at the man in front of him, and just wanted to bend down to help him up, when he heard Liu Zhao's surprised voice suddenly come from behind him, "Vice General Xu, why are you ......?"

Just now Shen Qing could see that this man's rank in the army should not be low, and now it seems that he is one of the eight deputy generals under Liu Zhao.

However, it was Liu Zhao who personally went over and wanted to help him up, but Vice General Xu still knelt motionless.

Shen Qing lowered his eyes and looked at him, and said in a low voice: "Vice General Xu, please get up." ”

Hearing Shen Qing's words, Vice General Xu stood up, looked at Shen Qing with slightly red eyes, and said: "Now many of the defenders in Xizhou are the people who followed Lord Xiao Shen to drive away the Da Liang barbarians, if they know that Lord Xiao Shen is back, they will be very happy......

Liu Zhao is Yu Jiuqing's person, so among the defenders of Xizhou who were placed by Yu Jiuqing, there are many people who followed Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing at the beginning.

Hearing Vice General Xu's words, Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, raised a sincere smile on his face, and said, "Is that so?" It's convenient for me. ”

She had the heart to participate in the war against Da Liang, but she had no one at hand.

She was already thinking about how to quickly gain the trust of the Xizhou defenders, but now God has made it convenient for her.

Liu Zhao, who had been a little stunned since Fang Cai, also noticed the reason for Vice General Xu's strangeness at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that Vice General Xu knew Lord Xiao Shen before, and I was still worried about how to introduce Lord Xiao Shen to you." ”

Vice General Xu immediately said proudly: "General Liu, although his subordinates also agree with General Liu's talent, but with all due respect, when Lord Xiao Shen led the army across the battlefield, General Liu was just a little kid who didn't have any hair!" ”

Liu Zhao was angry and helpless when he heard it, and pretended to roll up his sleeves and said: "Vice General Xu, there is no competition in the army during this time, you have itchy skin, but?" ”

It stands to reason that the generals under his command compare others with themselves, and ordinary generals are unbearable.

But Liu Zhao was already young, he was only twenty-five years old and was in charge of 50,000 elite soldiers in Xizhou, and more than half of the deputy generals in the army were older than him.

The relationship with the generals under his command is also more like a friend-like relationship, and occasionally he is teased a few words, as long as the bottom line is not involved, Liu Zhao will not care about them.

What's more, what Vice General Xu used to compare with him at this time was Mrs. Yu Xiang and Lord Xiao Shen, no matter what identity the other party was, he had no qualifications to care.

In the final analysis, Vice General Xu also respected his own general in his heart, laughed twice, and suddenly said: "By the way, Lord Xiao Shen was found by General Liu?" ”

Liu Zhao couldn't tell Shen Qing's identity clearly, so he only said vaguely: "Lord Xiao Shen happened to be in Xizhou, and I heard that Xizhou was besieged by the Daliang army, so I couldn't help but stand up." ”

Vice General Xu was immediately overjoyed, and said unconsciously with tears of excitement in his eyes: "The villain knows that Lord Xiao Shen will not really leave Daqi alone!" The villain is ...... This is to tell others the good news! ”

After speaking, he saluted Liu Zhao and Shen Qing, and walked down the city wall quickly.

Liu Zhao looked at the figure of his deputy general walking away a little speechlessly, and said half-jokingly: "This guy has often been talking in my ear about Lord Xiao Shen and Lord Xiao Shen since before, and now that Lord Xiao Shen is really here, I, the general, will automatically abdicate in his heart." ”

"How so? The military regulations are strict, and now the general of Xizhou City is still General Liu. ”

Shen Qing glanced at him with a faint smile, and suddenly looked at the Daliang military camp in the distance again, and said, "Is there anything wrong with the four wounded soldiers?" ”

Hearing Shen Qing talk about business, Liu Zhao put away the joking look on his face and said, "It's not a serious injury, but there are many people who are concerned about the situation on the front line, and they immediately know that someone is injured, and the people gathered outside the general's mansion...... More about it. ”

Shen Qing was silent for a moment and said, "There will only be more and more in the past few days." And we must hold the war until the news comes from Chenzhou. ”

Song Xingzhi on the side wanted to speak and stopped.

Senior Shen said earlier that if it went well, reinforcements would be sent from Chenzhou in five to six days.

But the premise of this time is - if all goes well.

What if it doesn't go well?

Now the voice of protest among the people is so loud, if the war drags on, even he, a half-man, knows that the situation is absolutely not optimistic.

But he saw that Shen Qing and Liu Zhao both looked resolute, and finally pursed his lips and didn't say anything about this concern.

What he could think of, Senior Shen and Brother Liu would definitely be able to think of as well.

War is a gamble, there is no battle in the world that must be won, and there is no battle that must be lost, it can only depend on which side fate favors more.

In the next two days, as Shen Qing expected, the attack on Da Liang's side came very closely, and what made people angry was that their purpose was obviously not to attack the city, but to do everything possible to cause casualties to the people on their side.

In just two days, hundreds of people were wounded on their side, and hundreds of soldiers died.

Although there were also casualties on the Da Liang side, compared to the situation on the Da Liang side, there was more pressure on them from the people on their side.

As the number of casualties grew, the people of Xizhou became more and more dissatisfied and angry with Liu Zhao.

This war could have been avoided as long as the princess of King Yun was handed over, but they really couldn't understand why General Liu was unwilling to hand over that woman!

Those soldiers didn't need to die! They are also human beings, and they also have their own relatives and family members!

If they died in the war to defend their homeland, what is it now? Their casualties were actually because of their inexplicable behavior of General Liu!

Although Liu Zhao repeatedly declared to the public that he did not detain Princess Yun, how could the angry people be willing to believe his words?

Later, there were more and more people outside the General's Mansion, and there were people staring at almost every corner, and there were even people who tried to break into the General's Mansion and the guards of the General's Mansion clashed.

In the end, Liu Zhao and Shen Qing couldn't go back to the General's Mansion, but fortunately, Liu Zhao had been in Xizhou for many years and was already a cunning rabbit, so he took Shen Qing to his other courtyard in Xizhou and asked her to live here temporarily.

The day they moved was the third day of the attack of the Great Liang army.

After Liu Zhao settled Shen Qing in the new courtyard, he hurriedly left in order to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by the angry people and exposing Shen Qing.

Shen Qing grabbed him suddenly, looked at Liu Zhao's face that had quickly become haggard in the past two days, sighed secretly, and said, "Since this morning, the frequency of the Great Liang army's attacks has obviously become denser. ”

Liu Zhao was upset when he thought of the battle outside the city, took a deep breath patiently, and said: "Indeed, but now it's the third day, if Chenzhou sends reinforcements, we should be able to reconnoiter in the next two days, don't worry, Madame......"

Shen Qing stared at him closely, and said lightly: "But the situation in the city, I'm afraid it won't last for more than two days?" I heard that this morning, the people had broken through the defenses of the General's Mansion and rushed in, and they tied up any woman they saw, and now the General's Mansion is still occupied by them.

Adjutant General Xu told me that there are many officers and men in the army who have opinions, and if you continue like this, your situation will be very dangerous. ”

Liu Zhao gritted his teeth secretly, but he still said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I ......"
