Hongnong County, Hongnong City.

The army all over the mountains and fields flocked to Hongnong City, and the clouds covered the sky, making the climate of the clear sky quite cloudy.

After half a day of investigation, Yang Xuangan confirmed that the troops of Hongnong City had already been transferred away to support the battle situation in the Eastern Capital.

Now the garrison was recently recruited by Feng Chun, the lieutenant of Hongnong County, and although the number is as high as 500,000, it is not even a regular army due to lack of training time.

More than ten waves of scouts and secret agents in a row sent back information, Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and others were ecstatic, and they all had the feeling of "losing the east corner and reaping the mulberry elm".

If Hongnong City can be captured, the army's food problem will not only be solved, but there will also be a huge surplus, and it can be recruited again. At the same time, you can cut off the connection between the eastern and western capitals, and by the way, cut off the supply of the two capitals, and then the two capitals will be in turmoil, and it will naturally be much easier to conquer, and it will not be a big problem to counterattack the eastern capital. Moreover, sitting on the area around Hongnong County is equivalent to nailing a nail in the heart of the Great Sui Empire, which can be attacked, retreated and defended, and the world can plot!

No matter how you look at it, it's all a godsend!

Hongnong City dispatched troops to snipe the rebels, but now they have been hit by the rebels when the troops are empty.

That's cause and effect!

That's luck!

This is the day to die!

"My lord, Hongnong City is a county town after all, and the city is high and thick, even if there are few soldiers, it cannot be attacked hard! Not to mention that we do not have strong siege equipment......

Seeing that Yang Xuan was approaching Hongnong City with great momentum, he was about to launch a general attack order. Li Mi was shocked and hurriedly stopped.

"Huh?"

Yang Xuangan's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at Li Mi with displeasure and asked in a deep voice, "What does Mr. mean...... In case the pursuers chase after us, how can we resist Hongnong?"

Li Mi took advantage of his serious injuries and coma to dare to overstep his authority and order the withdrawal of the army, so that the rebels completely withdrew from the battle situation in the Eastern Capital, which already made Yang Xuan feel extremely unhappy and secretly angry.

However, Yang Xuangan is the son of Yang Su, the king of Yue, after all. It's not a brave and unscrupulous person, and he is still a little sensible, and he also knows that if he continues to fight, it will be difficult for the eastern capital to fall, not to mention that the army has been withdrawn, and there is no point in returning, it will only waste precious combat time, so he will endure it.

Now, Li Mi actually stopped the siege again, what is this going to do?

He is the king of Yue. Or is Li Mi the king of Yue?!

Li Mi hurriedly explained: "That's not it, the soldiers are very fast, and our side doesn't have much time to make powerful siege equipment. It is best to prepare with both hands, on the one hand, to find ways to attack the city, and on the other hand, to send people to rush to build siege equipment. ”

"Oh, what is the clever plan of the gentleman?" Yang Xuan felt annoyed and unhappy, and his mood eased slightly, and he humbly asked.

"I'm still in a hurry......"

Li Mi sighed regretfully, seeing that Yang Xuan's face was a little ugly, and quickly changed the topic:

"We can send elite soldiers to disguise themselves as paupers. Let Grandpa Shi trick open the city gate. In this way, we can greatly reduce our siege casualties, and we can also take Hongnong City as soon as possible!"

While speaking, Li Mi still sighed secretly in his heart.

There was a great opportunity. That is, when the rebel army has not yet approached Hongnong City, they will first send elite soldiers to infiltrate Hongnong, waiting for an opportunity to cooperate with the outside.

It's a pity, after getting the exact information. Yang Xuangan couldn't wait to wave his troops to crush the city.

With such a loud voice, Captain Feng is not a fool, so he naturally found out a long time ago. Those who can become the lieutenants of a county are naturally not much worse in military ability.

Now the city gate has been closed, heavily guarded, and many city defense equipment, gravel, rolling wood, hot oil, etc., have been moved to the wall.

"Not a bad idea! Mr. has a fast brain, if he can capture it this time, this king will definitely reward him!"

Yang Xuangan's eyes lit up, he praised with great joy, and quickly shouted: "Come on, please come over!"

A moment later, Grandpa Shi arrived with the support of his two sons.

Yang Xuangan really said what he said, and after confirming that the information was correct, he directly rewarded the brothers Shishang and Shijian, one was named the general of the town army and rewarded a set of treasure armor, and the other was named the lord of the Sui army, and rewarded ten beauties and one million gold, which immediately made Grandpa Shi's family grateful.

"Puff ......"

"The prince spares his life! The old man is old and weak, and he can't walk steadily, how can he attack the city? Isn't this letting the old man die? The old man is loyal to the king of Yue, and he has no second heart!"

As soon as Yang Xuangan said the matter, Grandpa Shi suddenly knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, almost a handful of snot and tears!

"Uh......"

Yang Xuangan's expression froze, he didn't expect Grandpa Shi to react like this, his face turned black for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"Grandpa Shi! it's not for you to attack the city, it's just for you to lead people into Hongnong City, no need to fight, no harm to Grandpa Shi, and there is no danger!"

Li Mi hurriedly explained on the side, and glanced at the Shi Shang and Shi Jian brothers.

It's a pity that the brothers Shishang and Shijian are also as pale as earth, and they are quite frightened, how can they have the heart to figure out the meaning of Li Mi's eyes.

"How can there be no need to fight to attack the city? How can there be no danger? King Yue don't deceive the old man, although the old man is old, he is not stupid, and he has walked more bridges than you have walked. The old man teased you when he was a child, you can't harm the old man!"

Grandpa Shi didn't listen, he cried and shouted in obvious disbelief, and when he spoke, he was quite smooth and clear.

Yang Xuangan opened his mouth speechless, and really had a feeling of "Xiucai meets soldiers, and he can't explain reason", and couldn't help but quietly ask Li Mi: "Can you change someone?" Just like him, it's really difficult to walk steadily, maybe he will mess things up." The stakes are so high that there is no room for error!"

"It is precisely because this matter is so important that there is no room for mistakes, that he is the best candidate! After all, he is the representative of this group of people, and he is old enough to not threaten, and it is easier for people to relax their vigilance, plus the moral ......."

Li Mi frowned with a headache and smiled bitterly, halfway through his words, he paused in time.

Looking at Grandpa Shi's current appearance, he doesn't look like a person with high morality, a typical unseen turtle!

However, Li Mi can also understand that most ordinary people are ignorant all their lives, and they can get by, and if they go far, they can be regarded as breaking through the world, they have more knowledge, and they can brag for a lifetime, how much consciousness can be expected of them? How much ability?

"That's it, Grandpa Shi, this king will personally accompany you on a trip, as long as this king is here, you will not lose a penny, how about it?"

Yang Xuan was so depressed and entangled that he went crazy, gritted his teeth and looked at Grandpa Shi and said.

"This ......"

Grandpa Shi was even more entangled, hesitating and silent, he didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to refuse Yang Xuangan.

"No, this must not be, my lord! How can my lord's body leave the barracks lightly?"

Li Mi's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stopped in a loud voice, seeing that Yang Xuangan frowned and wanted to refute, Li Mi hurriedly looked at Shi Shang and said:

"General Shi, with General Shi's wisdom and martial arts, he should understand that there is really no danger this time, as long as General Shi dares to go with his father, he will be able to make great achievements, and he will be a general, and he will be a general, just around the corner!"

"This ......"

Ishigami's eyes lit up, and his spirit was greatly lifted, but his face was timid, obviously not daring to go, and not daring to refuse.

Feng Hou worships the general, the position is a general, of course he wants to, he dreams about it, and takes risks...... Let him not dare to fight with the soldiers, and go into battle in person?

"This time, it will be guarded by the king...... Jingwu Jingwei, personally dispatched, will definitely win. It's a credit for nothing!"

Yang Xuan thought about it, gritted his teeth and added, seeing that the stone was a little moved, but still hesitating, he added again:

"As long as General Shi returns this time, this king will crown you as the Marquis of Tieshi, from the Sanpin Wuwei General, 100 beauties, and 100 gold millions! ”

"Okay! Then the subordinate should have a good talk with his father!"

Shi Shang's breathing suddenly increased, he gritted his teeth and answered, paused, looked at Yang Xuan with some concern and asked, "The prince is a good man, right?

"......" Yang Xuangan's eyes widened, and he wanted to scold but held back.

Li Mi hurriedly took over the words and said comfortingly: "General Shi don't worry! Who is the lord? Chrysostom will do what he says, and will help you testify and vouch for you!"

Li Mi also knew the importance of this battle, and knew that Yang Xuan was in a hurry, otherwise he would not have made such a big temptation, and even the only remaining Jingwu Jingwei was sent out.

"Okay!"

Ishigami replied, signaled to his younger brother Ishima, and then supported his father and muttered to the side.

"Thief-headed rat, greedy for life and afraid of death! This kind of guy can be a general?"

Looking at the three father and son on the stone, looking sneaky and shrinking their heads, Yang Xuan felt depressed in his heart and had nowhere to vent, and sighed helplessly.

"Hehe......************** snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. It is the sages and saints of the ancients, and there are also chickens and dogs to help each other. At present, we really need people like them, acting in their true colors, it is easier to deceive the city defense!"

Li Mi shook his head and smiled and explained, paused, and continued: "Lord, it's time to order the army to stop marching and make a false statement to leave, otherwise Hongnong City may not dare to open the door to let those civilians in!"

"Hmm!"

Yang Xuan responded with understanding, and the countless rebels who were originally pouring into Hongnong City all over the mountains turned their direction and walked west around the city.

On the city wall of Hongnong City, the tense garrison was obviously relieved, and even the originally dense crowd and oppressive atmosphere were obviously sparse and lax, which made Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and others who were nervously concerned outside the city overjoyed.

More than an hour later......

Wearing back cloth clothes, on the stone of civilian clothing, supporting his father and grandfather Shi, with more than 10,000 miserable civilians, flocked to the city gate.

Thousands of people are in the wilderness, and thousands of people are in the city.

More than 10,000 people gathered at the gate of the city, crowded with people, noisy and boiling.

"Grandpa Shi! Why did you run back again? Gather so many people, what do you want to do? Now there is a threat of anti-army, the city gate is closed, you guys go quickly!"

As soon as Grandpa Shi, who was the leader, arrived at the city gate, a head poked out of the city gate, and he looked at Grandpa Shi and asked loudly.

These people are the commoners of Hongnong City, or the poor among the commoners, these people who are resident at the city gate naturally know each other, and they are quite familiar with the tone of their voices. (To be continued.) )
