Chapter 3: Siege Warfare

After sitting for a while, expressing the concern of the saint, Chai Rong instructed Xiao Hongtao to recuperate, and then instructed the two maidservants in the gray robe Langzhong and Xiaoqing Xiaocui to take care of them, and then led a group of people out, although Chai Rong was very happy during the whole visit, Xiao Hongtao could still see the eagerness and embarrassment on Chai Rong's face. Xiao Hongtao even saw a hint of twilight on Chai Rong's face, which was a black-brown mist like a gossamer, just a lock, wandering on his face. When Xiao Hongtao was a child, whenever an old man died in the village, he would see such a dying atmosphere on the face of the deceased old man. Later, he found that the son of the patriarch of the village also had such a twilight on his face, the patriarch's son was only 30 years old at the time, just in the prime of his life, the muscles on his body were strip-shaped, hunting in the mountains, and being proficient in fishing in the river, he was a famous rich and handsome man in the village at that time, and he was the dream lover of the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the village, and Wang Sicong's status in the hearts of national women is almost the same. In the end, he was young, Xiao Hongtao thought that he had discovered a big secret, and he could change it to rabbit meat to eat, so he ran to tell people that he was going to die soon. The son of the village chief immediately took Xiao Hongtao to his house to complain to Xiao Hongtao, and then Xiao Hongtao's ass was beaten by his father with a pimp. However, the son of the village chief who complained died three days later when he mysteriously fell down the mountain while hunting. After learning of the death of the village chief's son, Xiao Hongtao's father immediately went home, locked his son in the house, and warned Xiao Hongtao not to mention to anyone that he had cursed the death of the village chief's son, otherwise he would break his two legs.

Now, this kind of dying atmosphere has reappeared, and it has appeared on Chai Rong's body, and Xiao Hongtao began to recall the history in his memory. It seems that something has happened in six years, yes, it seems that Chai Rong died on the road of the Northern Expedition, and the time seems to be six years.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongtao couldn't help but feel a burst of loss, grandma's, it was easy to become the emperor's third brother by mistake, glory and wealth are at your fingertips, but you haven't enjoyed anything, this emperor is about to die, it's really depressing, don't I Xiao Hongtao have a happy life, hey, the creation makes people.

However, Xiao Hongtao thought that the twilight on Chai Rong's face was not very strong, and there should still be some time before he went to report to Lord Yama, and he planned to have fun in time, and enjoy all the blessings he could enjoy during this time.

Looking around, there was only himself left in the room, two maidservants, and a gray-robed man. The gray-robed Lang Zhong approached and pretended to give Xiao Hongtao a pulse, so Xiao Hongtao handed his arm out.

When the gray-robed man approached, he was close to Xiao Hongtao's ear and whispered, "Master Xiao, things can be done!"

"What can be done?" Xiao Hongtao asked rhetorically almost without any interval, and the volume was not small.

The gray-robed Lang Zhong obviously didn't expect Xiao Hongtao to react like this, his expression was nervous, his eyes moved left and right twice, and then he signaled something to Xiao Hongtao with his eyes.

Xiao Hongtao understood at once, this was the gray-robed Langzhong reminding him that there were other people in the house, in order to understand the meaning of the gray-robed Langzhong, Xiao Hongtao asked Xiaocui and Xiaoqing to retreat.

"Alright, now you can speak, now it's just the two of us. Xiao Hongtao said.

"Yes, Master Xiao, let the villain report it. The gray-robed man took a step back, ready to start reporting, now that there was no one in the room, there was no need to use pulse diagnosis as an excuse.

"Master Xiao, what you ordered before you fell into a coma is almost successful, well, in the past few days, the Gu worm will play a role, as long as the effect of this Gu worm is played, Chai Rong's life will definitely not be guaranteed. When he said the last sentence, the gray robe Langzhong deliberately lowered his voice, but the words were clear, and Xiao Hongtao naturally heard it clearly.

What? It turned out that he wanted to take Chai Rong's life, and he also used Gu art, this is too strange, Gu art is generally only available in the southwest minority areas, and it is not common in the Central Plains, and Xiao Hongtao has been a good person since he was a child, and he never thought about whose name he wanted to take, how could he become a murderer after crossing over, and it is the current emperor who is ready to kill.

The gray-robed man saw that Xiao Hongtao did not react after listening to his words, slowly raised his head, and looked at Xiao Hongtao with a complicated look, with a little puzzlement and doubt in his eyes. Xiao Hongtao came to his senses after seeing it, he tried his best to maintain a normal expression, and said softly: "En, I know." ”

"Is there anything else that needs to be reported?" Xiao Hongtao's mind flashed, he realized that the Xiao Ye he has become now is definitely not simple, he also needs to know more information, don't make jokes in the future, don't be found out if you don't enjoy the glory and wealth, and then it will be bad to kill the head of a deception.

"Well, Master Xiao, while you were in a coma, our army marched normally according to your deployment, and arrived at the city of Yizhou yesterday. Yesterday, Chai Rong was impatient to start attacking the city, but the city defense of Yizhou City was strong, the defenders were brave, and Chai Rong's army suffered heavy losses, and he was resting at the moment,,,,,,, "The gray-robed Langzhong began to report the battle in the past few days.

Xiao Hongtao and the gray-robed Langzhong started a conversation, saying that it was a dialogue, but in fact, it was mainly the gray-robed Langzhong who was talking, in order to prevent Xiao Hongtao from occasionally asking questions unless he encountered something particularly difficult to understand. From the mouth of the gray robe langzhong, Xiao Hongtao generally understood the situation at that time: Xiao Hongtao should be a high-ranking general, one of the generals that Chai Rong relied on very much, and now the Houzhou army has a total of more than 20,000 people, and the army led by Xiao Hongtao is about 8,000 people, including 5,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, and about 1,000 people are baggage and logistics soldiers. Now the Zhou army is besieging Yizhou City, and more than 7,000 Liao soldiers and more than 18,000 people are stationed in the city. Yesterday, the army arrived at the city of Yizhou and began to attack the city, but the city defense of Yizhou city was strong, the soldiers were brave, the attack of the army was blocked, and the Zhou army only killed and wounded more than 800 people in an hour yesterday, as a last resort, Chai Rong ordered Ming Jin to collect the troops, and slowly drew it.
