Prime Minister Miao Wen learned that the king and the queen mother had returned to the court safely, and with the assistance of General Lei Hong, the prince's dangerous forces in the court had been eliminated. Prime Minister Miao Cheng felt that he should seize the current good opportunity to recapture the important town of Gucheng as soon as possible, at present, the coalition army led by King Scholar was hit hard by Prime Minister Miao, the army was disheartened, and it can be said that the prospect is bleak to achieve the goal of annexing the Xuantan River Valley. At present, the New Year is approaching, and the soldiers of the coalition army of the scholar king are homesick and war-weary. Prime Minister Miao decided to seize the current favorable time, place and advantages to attack as soon as possible and recover Gucheng.

After King Scholar led the two coalition forces to retreat to Gucheng in a heavy defeat, he ordered the soldiers to close the city gates, because the development of the battle situation was completely beyond the expectations of King Shusheng, and the current grain and grass reserves in Gucheng were very insufficient, and if they were attacked or besieged by Prime Minister Miao Wen, they would eventually be defeated. The deeply worried scholar king took the lead in sending Ye Changfei out of the valley city through the back gate of the city wall when Prime Minister Miao Wen had not yet organized an attack on the soldiers, and waited for an opportunity to bring in reinforcements.

Miao Cheng knew the defensive layout of Gu Cheng well, he knew that this city was easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it wasn't for the critical situation and the last resort, King Scholar would not easily go out of the city to fight Miao Cheng. At present, the only way is to take effective measures so that the soldiers of the Scholar King will have to risk their lives to go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the besieged troops led by Prime Minister Miao Wen, so that the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom can defeat the defeated army led by the Scholar King in one fell swoop in the current excellent situation. If you want to achieve the effect of luring the snake out of the hole, Prime Minister Miao knows; It is necessary to adopt a more vicious strategy to bring the enemy forces currently besieging the valley city into a desperate situation. The approach to be taken by Prime Minister Miao is; Destroying its grain and grass and starving the enemy troops in the city, in this way, as a last resort, in order to seek survival, the scholar king will organize his soldiers to go out of the city to fight to the death in order to break through the siege.

General Guan Xiong, the former commander-in-chief of Gucheng, knew very well where the grain and grass of the Gucheng garrison were stored, and now the defense of Gucheng had a unique natural danger barrier, and it was impossible for Prime Minister Miao Wen and General Guan to organize a group of soldiers to sneak into Gucheng and destroy its grain and grass without knowing it. The scheming Prime Minister Miao Cheng planned to be unprepared, and in the middle of the night when conditions permitted, he unexpectedly adopted the method of burning grain and grass, so that the necessary materials of the scholar king were destroyed.

In the middle of the winter night, the cold wind of the river valley raged unscrupulously in the valley, and in the middle of the night when the stars were buried in the rolling dark clouds, Prime Minister Miao Cheng organized archers according to the accurate location of the enemy's grain and grass inventory designated by General Guan, and tied the arrows to flammable materials on the high slope of the valley close to the valley city, and seized the opportunity to shoot the arrows with burning fire to the grain and grass storage place of the army of the scholar king. By the time the weary soldiers arrived to extinguish the fire, the meagre amount of food and grass in the city was a pile of ashes. The grain and grass that the scholar king must use in the valley city has been burned, and the scholar king must organize a hungry army out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Miao Wencheng. Prime Minister Miao Cheng lined up outside the ancient city, ready to meet the battle at any time.

Let's say that Ye Changfei took the order of the scholar king, rushed to the Linshi country day and night, and reported the embarrassment of the scholar king in this river valley war to the tyrant king who was recuperating in the palace. The Beast King's eye injury has been treated by the Kingdom's imperial physician, and although he has only one eye left, he has become a one-eyed dragon king, but his injury has largely improved. The violent beast king, when he heard that the coalition army had been defeated again, was so angry that he screamed in the palace, and immediately organized the kingdom's living forces, and rushed to the valley city with Su Claw.

Although the scholar king here is currently in a desperate situation, the scholar king, who has always been good at scheming, is not flustered, he is very aware of the current situation. He also has his own calculations, the scholar king is ready to arrange Marshal Tian Long to lead a group of soldiers out of the city gate to break through, in order to lose the army and break the generals, let some people go out, try to break through the siege of Prime Minister Miao Wen, break out of the siege, go to meet with the rescuers who often fly in the night, and then come back, attack the siege of Prime Minister Miao outside the valley city, King Scholar seized the opportunity to organize the trapped army in the city to open the city gate and rush out, and attack Prime Minister Miao before and after, so that it is possible to reverse the situation.

That night, snowflakes fell in the cold Xuantan River valley, and the snow fell heavier and heavier, and after a while, the river valley and the surrounding mountains were snow-white, and the scholar king thought that this was an excellent time to open the city gate and organize some soldiers to break through by Marshal Tian Long. In order to paralyze Prime Minister Miao, King Shusheng ordered all the soldiers to extinguish the lights in the barracks as soon as possible, pretending that everyone was resting due to the cold weather. Although the scholar king was always vigilant, because the weather was really cold, he ordered his elite soldiers to guard it, and the rest of the soldiers hid in the barracks to avoid the severe cold caused by the wind and snow in the river valley. In the middle of the night, the scholar king ordered Marshal Tian Long to quietly organize the soldiers to break through without any open fire, come to the city gate in the dark, and then open the city gate as soon as possible. Prime Minister Miao Wen, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the enemy's killing cries, and immediately organized soldiers with General Guan Xiong to fight with Marshal Tian Long's generals. Because the enemy army rushed out unexpectedly, Prime Minister Miao was not well prepared, and when they reacted, they could only hurriedly hold torches and hurriedly chase and kill the enemy troops who had broken through the barracks and ran in the direction of Yunmeng Mountain.

Marshal Tian Long is also a veteran of the battlefield, he knows that he must get rid of the pursuit of the generals organized by Prime Minister Miao, because the army leading the breakthrough is not demoralized, trembling, and it is also a hungry army. Marshal Tian Long ordered the generals, according to their advantage of being familiar with the Yunmeng Mountain path, to scatter and flee, and after throwing off the pursuing soldiers, they crossed the Yunmeng Mountain, and then met at the top of the Yunmeng Mountain at dawn.

General Guan Xiong, who was rushing to chase and kill in the back, was not an idle person, he knew that the thief had to capture the king first. Finding that the enemy troops in front of him were scattering and fleeing, General Guan ordered his soldiers to follow the direction of Marshal Tian Long's escape along the dangerous mountain path. Marshal Tian Long understood the enemy's intentions, and in order to get rid of the pursuit of the male as soon as possible, Tian Long took the dense forest as a cover and hurriedly fled to the north of Yunmeng Mountain. In order to catch Tian Long again, General Guan took a few capable soldiers and hurriedly chased after Tian Long in the direction of his escape.

The reason why Marshal Tian Long fled to the back of Yunmeng Mountain was because he knew that if he escaped from this direction, he could have a hiding place, and it turned out that in the col halfway up the northern side of Yunmeng Mountain, there was a nunnery called "Jianshui Nunnery". There is a nun living in this nunnery, this nun was originally a beautiful young woman in Niuling Country, this woman was not considered to see through the red dust, when she became a nun, she had a disgraceful story with Marshal Tian Long in Niuling Country. Later, because Marshal Tian Long's mother-in-law was interfered by important forces in the imperial court, he was ready to put the slut who was involved in their marriage to death, and he had no choice but to prevent his proud lover from dying in a place without a burial, and secretly funded the construction of a Jianshui Nunnery on the mountainside of Yunmeng, and unknowingly settled his lover here in the way of becoming a monk. Of course, when it was relatively quiet when there was no conquest, Tian Dashuai would cover up people's eyes and ears on the grounds that he had a military mission, and went to Jianshui Nunnery to have a warm encounter with his lover. This woman also gave herself a very interesting Dharma name, "Panlang Shitai", which is really blasphemy against the pure land of Buddhism.

The faster Tian Dashuai ran, the closer he got to the person he wanted, so at this time, Tian Dashuai was full of strength and shook off General Guan's pursuit from afar. When it was almost dawn, Tian Dashuai finally rushed to Jianshui Nunnery out of breath. Marshal Tian Long used all his strength to bang on the gate of Jianshui Nunnery, and Master Wanglang was woken up in his sleep, guessing that something must have happened. Wanglang Shitai opened the door as quickly as possible, welcomed Tian Dashuai in, closed the door with the safest measures, led Tian Dashuai into his bedroom, extinguished the candle light in the nunnery, and did not make any sound, Tian Dashuai has been fighting for a long time, this is really a long drought and nectar, Marshal Tian Long, who feels that he has basically escaped, is very impatient, Tian Dashuai can't help but let out a gasp when he is immersed, Wanglang Shitai is very vigilant in cooperating with his cherry mouth to block Dashuai's open mouth.

General Guan was finally thrown away by Tian Dashuai, General Guan felt that he was not familiar with the terrain, afraid of entering the territory of other countries, and was in a prison, in order to avoid stealing chickens and rice, General Guan decided to give up the pursuit, and led the generals back to the camp in Gucheng.

According to the prior arrangement, after Tian Dashuai hid in Jianshui Nunnery and escaped, he did not dare to stay too long at dawn and rushed to the agreed place to meet the soldiers who broke through. A few cronies who knew a little about Tian Dashuai's whereabouts gave Tian Dashuai a thumbs up very interestingly, but Tian Dashuai's face involuntarily turned red.

After a few days of rest, the reinforcements led by the Beast King and Ye Changfei arrived, and Tian Long arranged for Ye Changfei, who was good at making people unaware of his whereabouts, take the first step and sneak into Gucheng again, colluding with the scholar king to attack Prime Minister Miao Wen. Chang Fei flew into Gucheng in the middle of the night, and the Tyrant Beast King and Tian Dashuai took the method of hiding their whereabouts during the day to rest and marching late at night, and quietly brought reinforcements to the Yunmeng Mountainside, which was closest to Gucheng.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the scholar king who was trapped in the valley city led the coalition army to survive by looting the only remaining food of the people in the city, and the food of the people in the city had been exhausted by them, and now the soldiers and civilians in the city are complaining about it. There can be no more conditions for delay. King Shusheng personally led the besieged army in the city to open the city gates and engage Miao Cheng. When the battle between the two sides was in full swing, the Beast King and Marshal Tian Long led the reinforcements hidden on the mountainside to rush down in one go, and smashed into Prime Minister Miao's military camp from behind. Prime Minister Miao Cheng suffered from the enemy on his back, coupled with the newly injured Beast King, who had just passed the year, slashed and killed the soldiers of the Cuizhu Kingdom with his vengeful one-eye, and Prime Minister Miao had to lead the army to retreat ten miles in order to preserve his strength.

After the fiasco, the scholar king, because after Tian Long's successful breakthrough, brought reinforcements with the beast king, so that Prime Minister Miao Cheng's army outside Gucheng suffered from the enemy, so that Prime Minister Miao Chengcheng failed to attack Gucheng again, and had to retreat outside Gucheng. In order to prevent Prime Minister Miao Cheng from attacking the city again to gain a strategic advantage, King Shusheng arranged for Marshal Tian Long to lead an army to confront Miao Cheng outside the valley city and garrison him, and he and the king of the beasts were stationed in the valley city to plan the next step in the battle for the river valley.
