The herald was stunned when he heard this, he didn't react for a while, this attack had just begun, why did Lord Xing want them to retreat?

"Go now, it's too late. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xing Luan ordered loudly.

"Yes, sir!" the herald hurried forward.

When the herald arrived at the north gate of Yongzhou, he understood why Xing Luan ordered the withdrawal of the army, the torches on the north gate had been connected, and the army guarding Yongzhou City stood densely on the city wall, and the rain of arrows shot down from the city wall had blocked Adanzhen's cavalry from the moat, and the rolling wood and thunder stones that fell from the city wall made the cavalry under Adanzhen suffer heavy casualties. The soldiers led by the two generals Cui You and Sima Zhi'an, who were on both wings, were besieged by two Liang armies that suddenly appeared, and they could not go forward to solve Adan's real crisis for a while.

"General Adanzhen, Lord Xing orders you to retreat immediately!" the herald found Adanzhen, who was already wounded and his face was covered in blood.

"I can't retreat, I'll be able to find a way to cross the moat. "Ah Danzhen was already red-eyed at this time, and he refused to leave the north city gate.

"General, there are too many defenders in Nanliang, and your people can't support the city gate at all, so hurry up and follow Lord Xing's order to retreat." "The herald was extremely anxious, if he fought hard with the Liang army, he was afraid that Adan would really be wiped out.

Ah Dan Zhen didn't care, urging the horse to step forward to continue the siege, only to hear a feather arrow sound from behind him, Ah Dan Zhen's war horse was frightened by a feather arrow suddenly shot over, the front hooves erected, let out a long neigh.

"Adanzhen, I have ordered you to retreat, why don't you listen to my orders. It was that Xing Luan who rushed from behind Ah Dan Zhen and stopped his reckless actions.

"General, I must take Yongzhou today. Edan really screamed.

"Retreat immediately!" Xing Luan ordered loudly with a sinking face.

Under Xing Luan's forcible order, Ah Dan Zhen had to lead his subordinates to evacuate to Xing Luan's army, and the two generals Cui You and Sima Zhi'an, who were still fighting desperately on both wings, gradually joined Xing Luan's army under the desperate killing.

Xing Luan saw the red patch in Yongzhou City, and he suddenly understood that he had fallen into the trap that Wei Rui had dug beforehand. When Wei Rui sent Yuan Xiang to Yongzhou to investigate last time, he must have understood his intention to send people at that time, but he was silent at the time, let alone break his plan, but after Yuan Ying Zhongli was defeated, he let himself step by step into this good move that had been deployed in advance.

Thinking of this, Xing Luan let out a long sigh, he had the same heart with this General Wei Ruiwei, but he was one step slower than him every time, just like two chess players playing against each other, he always walked passively, and even was led by his nose, so no matter how he fought, he couldn't beat him.

Xing Luan looked at Yongzhou in front of him, before Yuan Ying set out to attack Zhongli, he was going to tell him to bypass Zhongli and attack Yongzhou and go south, but Yuan Ying was stubborn and didn't listen to his own strategy at all, and it was too late to use the road of Yongzhou after Zhongli was defeated.

At this time, the Yongzhou city tower suddenly became quiet, under the bright torches on the city wall, Xing Luan squinted his eyes slightly, and when he saw the people above the city tower clearly, he was taken aback: the person wearing bright yellow armor and wearing a golden helmet on the city tower was Xiao Yan, the emperor of Southern Liang.

He has always been worried that Xiao Yan will think of Yongzhou, he is really afraid of something, and the person he is most afraid of still appears in Yongzhou.

Someone on the top of the Yongzhou City Tower asked loudly: "Is there a Northern Wei Dynasty platform ahead?"

Xing Luan stepped forward immediately, and Ah Danzhen beside him hurriedly stopped: "Your Excellency, you can't go over." ”

Xing Luan's state of mind calmed down at this time, since the battle of Zhongli was doomed to failure, and the capture of Yongzhou must have come to naught, since Xiao Yan dared to appear in front of him, he naturally would not go out of the city to meet him in a short battle, so what if he went forward? Even if he fought to the death, it was better than dying. Thinking of this, he drove his horse alone.

Ah Dan behind him really couldn't see it well, so he had to lead his subordinates to follow. Xing Luan's war horse came to a stop by the moat, and he replied loudly: "It's Xing Luan below, may I ask if it's Emperor Wu above?"

Standing beside Xiao Yan was Yongzhou Don't Drive Zhang Shan, and that Zhang Shan replied loudly: "It's me to the emperor!"

Xing Luan bowed his hand: "Emperor Wu, when the two countries are at war, forgive me Xing Luan for not being able to dismount and salute fully." ”

Xiao Yan nodded secretly after hearing this, this Northern Wei Dynasty Daxingtai is really a talent, although the Wei army has been defeated, but this Northern Wei Dynasty Daxingtai has not lost morale at all, and is still full of confidence to talk to himself.

"Lord Xing, you didn't expect me Xiao Yan to appear in Yongzhou. Xiao Yan asked.

Xing Luan smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect Emperor Wu to appear here, before that, I was too hasty in judging the guards of Yongzhou, I didn't expect that Emperor Wu had already thought about this move in Yongzhou." ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "This move of Yongzhou was jointly laid out by me and Huaiwen, I think that when I named Wei Rui as the general of Pingbei, I ordered him to take over the post of Yongzhou Rashi, so I have already thought about today's chess game." ”

Xing Luan was already convinced at this time: "For Emperor Wu's literary talent and martial strategy, I Xing Luan is indeed very impressed, but I am too stupid, I only thought of the deep meaning of General Pingbei, but I didn't think of the intention of Yongzhou Rashi." ”

"Yongzhou is the place where I Xiao Yan got into trouble, how could I give it up so easily? I think when I assisted Emperor Ming, I have long been familiar with the important position of Yongzhou, and now that Yuan Ke is bent on destroying my Liang, of course I understand, your Xing Luan's eloquence and strategy, I Xiao is even more admired, but ---- that Yuan Ke is gullible in the words of the villain, presumably a loyal minister like Lord Xing, life in the court is really not good. Xiao Yan said a little proudly.

Xing Luan didn't answer, he already understood at this time that since Xiao Yan was driving the expedition in person, he naturally had his reasoning, and his own side was already defeated, so he had to listen to what he said.

"Lord Xing went back this time, and I also hope to inform Yuan Ke that my Daliang is strong, and I don't want to use force with him, but for many years he has relied on the remnants of his ancestors, these years he has been too arrogant, I don't know the height of the sky, and he has repeatedly challenged the national prestige of my Daliang, since the battle of Zhongli, I hope he will reflect on himself, and calm the war in the future, the two countries will recuperate, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, don't start a war again!"

Xing Luan nodded slightly: "What Emperor Wu said is extremely true, I, Xing Luan, will bring this to me." ”

"There is one more thing---- Xiao Yan paused slightly before saying, "Please hand over my imperial son Xiao Zong to me." ”

Xing Luan was stunned, that Xiao Zong betrayed his father and fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was already a great rebel, why did Xiao Yan want him to go back?

"That Xiao Zong was seriously injured in the battle of Zhongli, and he is recuperating in the army at this time, and after he recovers from his injuries, I will think of a proper way to send him back after consulting with the generals. Xing Luan responded to this matter.

"Okay, I, Xiao Yan, are here to wait for Lord Xing's good news. Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

Xing Luan saw that Xiao Yan no longer spoke, so he stretched out his hand to signal the army to retreat. Ah Dan Zhen still looked unconvinced behind him: "My lord, let me try again." ”

Xing Luan's face sank: "What do you want to try? Emperor Nawu has just said that don't want to continue the war, the two countries should recuperate, don't you understand the meaning of this?"

"But are we going to go back with a defeat?" asked Ah Dan unconvinced.

Xing Luan looked at Yongzhou in front of him, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he still wanted to lead the army to retreat: "If you lose, you lose, our skills are not as good as others, so don't be obsessed anymore." ”

When Ah Dan really saw Xing Luan turn his horse's head and retreated, he hated it in his heart, so he had to follow Xing Luan to retreat. Xing Luan was in a state of interest at this time, and he didn't expect that it would be unfavorable to send troops and end up with such a result, and when they returned to Pingcheng, he didn't know how Yuan Ke would treat them.

When Xing Luan's army retreated, morale was extremely low, the battle of Yongzhou, they lost too badly, their emperor did not do it, but Xiao Yan, the emperor of Southern Liang, did it, that Xiao Yan easily defeated their troops attacking Yongzhou with the imperial conquest, that Xing Luan was more sad than others at this time, he originally wanted to help Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan in times of crisis, so that when they returned to Beijing to face the saint, they could be preserved, but there is always something that cannot be calculated, and the result is always beyond his expectations。

Xing Bian suddenly reined in the horse's hooves under the white sky just now, he looked at his eyes in a daze, I don't know when, suddenly appeared a team of men and horses, that team of people and horses seemed to be waiting for them there, had been waiting for a long time, those Liang soldiers stood there quietly, the big flag in their hands was rustling in the wind, and the big Liang characters and Wei characters on the flag reminded Xing Luan that this was his strongest opponent's army.

Xing Luan encountered Wei Rui's army on the way back, which was the second blow he suffered in one night, he didn't expect Wei Rui to quietly cut off his retreat, and did it so exquisitely that he let his hundreds of thousands of troops suffer from the enemy without making a sound.
