Sheva collected the army and lined up under the city of Liuzhou, waving flags, swords and guns reflecting the sun, people were strong and strong, a solemn one, and asked the Tang Dynasty to review.

Tang Chao was very happy, nodded in agreement, and rode lightly from before the three armies, his eyes were full of joy.

When the Tang Dynasty had just arrived at the city gate drawbridge, the smoke and dust behind it were loud, and countless soldiers were overwhelmingly killed, Tang Dynasty smiled slightly, and ordered the rear team to be the front team, and the fire retreated into the city.

When Sheva led the army into Liuzhou, the troops behind the palace had already engaged in a fierce battle with the soldiers, and the leader was Meng Xiao, and Sheva was the enemy.

In addition, there is a young general, the face is like powder, only seventeen or eighteen years old, but the martial arts are extremely high, Ban Lin and he fought three times, he felt that he did not add strength, pulled the horse and left, the general did not chase, only took off the bow from the waist, put on the arrow, only swish, Ban Lin fell off the horse, an arrow on the shoulder, the young general caught up, lightly stretched the ape arm, captured Ban Lin alive, threw it on the ground, and had already had his sergeants tie the rope.

Sheva was in a hurry and wanted to save his life, but Meng Xiao's forty-pound copper hammer in his hand was attacking, and he didn't give him a moment to breathe, so he had to watch Ban Lin being escorted to the back.

But at this time, all the sergeants had already retreated into the city of Liuzhou, and Sheva rose up and slashed out with a sword, and the powerful energy shocked more than a dozen soldiers and cavalry around Meng Xiao to fall off their horses!

Although Meng Xiao was brave, he was also shocked back by this blow for nine steps, and was about to continue to chase, but listening to the sound of horses' hooves, Sheva had already taken the opportunity to rush into the city, and the city gate was immediately closed, and the wooden cannon stones on the city were beaten down, and Meng Xiao had to retreat.

This young general is none other than Rondo, the youngest son of the Iron Letter Department of Pebble Valley, who is talented and strong in martial arts, and has won the trust of his father, the Iron Letter Department, and handed over the front military horses to him to lead.

There are fourteen sons in the Tiexin Department, except for this Rondo, the rest of the martial arts are ordinary, this time I saw Meng Xiao personally come to ask for help, and knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so he and Meng Xiao swore as brothers in life and death, joined forces, and killed Liuzhou.

With the meaning of the Ministry of Iron Letter, it is to wave the army to take it directly and recapture the city captured by the Tang Dynasty, but Meng Xiao has a deep strategy, knowing that the soldiers under the Tang Dynasty are well-trained, and she has the courage to be unstoppable, so she proposed a plan to feign defeat and lure the enemy, and he and Rondo and the Ministry of Iron Letter each led an army to ambush in Jindouping, which is three miles away from Liuzhou, and wants to solve Sheva in a battle, first pull out Liuzhou, and then take the Red Stone Cave.

But unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty came back at this time, and ordered not to chase but retreat, and the turtle retreated into the city of Liuzhou.

Meng Xiao watched from Gaofu, saw Sheva retreating, failed to make a plan, and made another plan, discussed with the Ministry of Tiexin, and immediately surrounded Liuzhou! The Ministry of Iron Information had no plans, so he naturally listened to Meng Xiao, so he took the opportunity to surround Liuzhou.

At the head of Liuzhou City, the Tang Dynasty ordered a team of soldiers to hold the dead corners of the city, strengthen the city walls, and use the troops in his hands, plus Sheva has been operating in the city for many days, but it is not difficult to control the situation in the city.

Now in the city of Liuzhou, although I dare not say that Jincheng soup pool, but there is no doubt about the strong city.

The Tang Dynasty finished arranging all these details, and couldn't help laughing: "Meng Xiao, although you are cunning, how can this handsome fall for you?" ”

Sheva has been following Tang Dynasty's side, and he was depressed for a long time before waiting for the opportunity, and when he saw that Tang Dynasty had the leisure to speak, he asked: "Tang Dashuai, I have always been puzzled, why do you know that the enemy is luring my soldiers to chase, which really makes me afraid, if I lead the troops to chase down, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the fate of defeat!" ”

He knew that with the situation just now, Meng Xiao's troops were equivalent to his own troops, but the army of the Tiexin Department was much stronger than himself, and he didn't expect that in addition to Meng Xiao, there was such a young master like Nalong, once the battle was engaged, the soldiers would come up together, although he could break through with his peerless martial arts, but it was inevitable that he would lose a big defeat.

In the past, when the Tang Dynasty captured himself in the Yi Department, Sheva knew that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, but he really couldn't imagine how the Tang Dynasty could have such an accurate judgment of the enemy situation when he had just returned to lead the army.

Tang Chao knew that he would ask himself this, and said with a smile when he heard this: "General Sheva, in fact, it is very easy to tell why you want to chase the enemy immediately, just because we have won the battle during this period of time, so subconsciously, I feel that it should be our victory, this is one of them; Another point is that I think that when we do things with the barbarians, we don't have to worry about them using tricks, thinking that the barbarians are simple and simple, and this idea may be correct for other people, but it is not the case for Meng Xiao, because I have fought with him several times, and I know that he has a lot of tricks, and he is not a leader who only relies on martial arts. It is such an enemy that is terrifying. This is also the reason why I can't and dare not delay in the imperial court and rush back to the army in the starry night, I know that this person has been able to rebel against the imperial court many times before, and he has extraordinary martial arts and wisdom, otherwise, with such a great military achievement as Niu Xianke, why can't he be picked up, but will be defeated in his hands, he must have extraordinary ability. Take the last attack on the Red Stone Cave as an example, his approach is very correct, that is, to wait for work, trapped in the cave, slowly consume our army, if it were not for my dangerous attack from the top of the mountain from the inside out, I am afraid that he is still in the confrontation with him, in that case, once he waits for the rescue of the Ministry of Iron Letters, the inside should be combined with the outside, the inside and the outside attack, although our soldiers are fine, I am afraid it is still difficult to win, and the victory is bound to be protracted, at that time, a guy like Wei Jian will advance on the emperor again, I can say that he will be immediately dismissed and investigated. At that time, the prestige that I had worked so hard to build in the imperial court for so long would be flowing west! This is a very important point, I have always been able to underestimate Meng Xiao; Third, I personally snatched a big knife from the hands of a soldier, the martial arts of this soldier is not high, but it seems to be confident and I fight, I killed him in less than two rounds, seized the knife in his hand, and then look at the shape of the soldier fleeing, although it seems to be disorganized, but the horses and infantry did not trample on each other, the soldiers holding the vanguard flag in the army are also calmly retreating, I know, must not chase, if you chase the soldiers, the enemy has been so long, presumably has converged with the Tiexin Department, the enemy is outnumbered, so the troops are collected! ”

This remark only made Sheva embarrassed, and sighed: "Tang Dashuai, I always thought that I Sheva had some command talents, but I can't imagine that I can compare with you, I am simply a frog at the bottom of the well, admire!" ”

The generals around him, Xin Baijiang and others, also praised one after another, indeed, if they chased after Sheva, Liuzhou would definitely be out of danger now, so that the thieves would be prosperous, and if they wanted to suppress the thieves, it would take a lot of energy.

In front of many generals, Sheva did not refer to the Tang Dynasty as father and son, in order to establish the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in the army.

The Tang Dynasty was humble, and saw the loud noise under the city.

Looking down, the soldiers tied up Ban Lin and escorted him to the city gate.

Because at this time, Meng Xiao had already commanded an army of nearly 10,000 people to surround Liuzhou, and now in Liuzhou City, although the Tang Dynasty's troops were excellent, there were only 4,000 people, and the strength was not good in the decisive battle. Fortunately, there was plenty of grain and grass in the city, which was conducive to holding on, but the difficulty of the Tang Dynasty now was to fight a decisive battle to quell the rebellion in Lingnan.

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty had a great merit in defeating Meng Xiao before, and he did not taste defeat, even if Li Longji hated the Tang Dynasty again, he still couldn't belittle him at such a time.

Hmph, Lao Tzu is going to marry Princess Xinling, when the time comes, I will be your son-in-law, you bullshit emperor, do you really not treat me as your own person?

At this time, the soldiers under the city had quickly built a high platform at the gate of the city, and in a short time, a lot of firewood and grass had been piled up, obviously wanting to burn Ban Lin to death, which had a deterrent effect-

Tang Chao sighed: "I can't imagine that Rondo's martial arts are so powerful, it seems that I can only try my luck!" ”

Sheva blamed himself deeply, and took the initiative to ask Zhan to say: "Dashuai, please give me five hundred dead soldiers, I want to open the city to save Banlin, I hurt him!" ”

After saying this, I shed tears, and I regretted it in my heart, if it weren't for my courage and courage to open the city and engage the soldiers, such a thing would not have happened. In fact, the reason why he opened the city and fought a decisive battle with the soldiers was to make a name for himself in the army, and he wanted to let all the Tang Dynasty troops know that even if the Tang Dynasty was not there, I still had the ability to defeat the soldiers.

Tang Chao immediately shook his mood, and said with a slight smile: "General Sheva, you don't have to be like this, I already have a way, what I asked you to do last time, how is it done now?" ”

Sheva originally looked depressed, but as soon as he heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Oops, how did I forget at this juncture, thank you, Dashuai!" ”

Tang Chao said: "Have you found out who Meng Xiao's mother is?" ”

"It's been checked."

"That's good, you immediately send a person who can speak well to Meng Xiao's army to negotiate, one for one, see what Meng Xiao says?"

"Yes, I'll do it myself!" I went happily at the moment.

It turned out that Meng Xiao's family was in the red stone cave, when the Tang Dynasty occupied, how could these old and weak women and children run out, so they were all captured, and there were fish students who persuaded the Tang Dynasty to kill them all, the Tang Dynasty smiled and did not allow it, and persuaded him to expel the old and weak, and the women were given to the sergeants under the account, and the Tang Dynasty smiled and did not allow it.

Even the five tigers of the Zhuan clan felt strange, why couldn't they share it with their brothers to enjoy after robbing so many women.

Only Sheva knew what the Tang Dynasty meant, and he had already interrogated him in private, and he had already found out that Meng Xiao's mother was among them. Meng laughed at this person, his father died early, and his mother was filial.

It was also Sheva who almost made a big mistake today, and he was in a trance, otherwise, he would have thought of a way to replace Ban Lin with Meng Xiao's mother!

The messenger came to Meng Xiao's army and presented Sheva's letter.

Meng Xiao finished looking at it, tears flowed, he really couldn't imagine that Tang Dynasty was such a benevolent person, he didn't kill his mother, and he hadn't sent her to the court to ask for merit, so he immediately agreed.

I saw Meng Xiao enter the Tiexin Army, tears rained down, and said, "General Tie, you must save me!" ”

Tiexin is a reckless person, about forty years old, with a bearded face, good martial arts, and a very straight temperament, when he heard Meng Xiao's words, he said in surprise: "What's going on?" ”

Meng Xiao immediately said that the Tang Dynasty wanted to exchange his mother with him, and the Ministry of Iron Information immediately agreed, agreeing to exchange with each other at the city gate early tomorrow morning, and all the details were clearly stated in Sheva's letter.

The envoy reported to Sheva and the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, he knew that if Meng Xiao really burned Ban Lin at the city gate, not to mention the loss of a general, it would be a serious blow to the morale of the army, it would be greatly worthless.
