After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 225
The old lady stood up from the bed, walked to the door without saying a word, looked up at the sun in the sky, her face dazed.

Her heart was empty, and there was always a feeling that the most precious thing was going to leave her.

At this age, her son is gone, and her wife is so old. The only thing she worries about is, besides her granddaughter, what else?

Old General Wei picked up his cloak and covered her, "Don't think too much, Zhizhi will be back soon."

The next day, the army did not arrive.

The people in Xishu got a boost.

Mengdan saw that Nanxiao was weak, and the emperor's conquest would shake the foundation of the country. If the emperor died in Handan, then Nanxiao's land would be shared equally with Xishu.

Who doesn't want to eat fat that reaches the mouth?

Yumoyu, the second prince of Western Shu, also had this kind of wishful thinking, and with an extra help, even though he would eat less meat, his chances of winning would be greater.

"Your Majesty, General." Chun Yu walked into the room, "Last night, Prince Mengdan Yeluqina secretly entered the tent of Xishu, I'm afraid..."

Both Wan Qiqian and Wei Xingzhi's expressions darkened slightly.

Meeting at this time is probably not a good thing.

"If Mengdan lends troops to Xishu, it will be difficult to resist with our strength alone." Wei Xingzhi knew very well that if Mengdan sent troops to Xishu, their best choice at the moment was undoubtedly to retreat to Sucheng.

But the Wei family army will never quit.

If he retreats, the morale of the army will be shaken and the people will be uneasy.

She was sitting on the chair, and her brows had hardly relaxed in the past two days, as long as she looked at it, there were a few lines.

Wan Qiqian also understood that the emperor's personal conquest and retreat would hurt the face of the royal family.

"Defense is the main thing." He said these four words firmly.

Wei Xingzhi continued, "But we are running out of explosives. If the people in Handan remain besieged in the city, their food rations will decrease day by day. Handan is not a big food city. When the army from the Eastern Daying Camp arrives in Handan, they will fight with Mengdan of Xishu. Playing against each other is not something that can be accomplished overnight.”

The previous few times were all flukes, but this time it was a real fight.

Wan Qiqian pondered, "Food can be borrowed, but the city cannot be destroyed. This battle has been fought."

Throughout the ages, there was one battle that was easy to fight, and that was the time in Jizhou. Didn't she return to the imperial city with bruises all over her body?

As the sun sets, billowing black clouds spread their teeth and claws to cover the last ray of light.

The Xishu army stopped not far from Handan City, shouting loudly, as if they no longer paid attention to the extremely high explosives of typhoid fever.

Wei Xingzhi was wearing a red armor and a flapping cloak, standing on the tower, holding a spear.

Wan Chengqian's heart moved violently, he knew very well that this was not his emotion.

This kind of emotion is like seeing someone who has been yearning for many years, nostalgic for extravagance.

Wan Qiqian settled down.

Seeing Wei Xingzhi's figure, Yumoyu frowned suddenly, Wei Xingzhi?Why is she here?Isn't she supposed to be on the way at this time, how could it be impossible for a million army to come so fast?
Could it be that the city of Handan has been wiped out by Wei Xingzhi and others?
Yumoyu's mind was full of thoughts, he was too familiar with Wei Xingzhi.

The empty city plan stunned him for a while, maybe Wei Xingzhi was just bluffing, and the million-strong army was still behind.

"Hey, is it possible that General Wei will play a play with this king today?"

Yumoyu sat on the horseback, looked up at Wei Xingzhi, and joked, "Do you want to play an allegro today? Or do you want to dance and sing a song for the king?"

Wan Chengqian's face darkened.

Wei Xingzhi put his spear upstairs, and said casually, "Now, if you don't play allegro, don't dance, don't sing tunes, I'll kill you."

Yumoyu seemed to have heard some big joke, "Take my king's life? Hahahahaha General Wei, you are a bit loud. I won't be easily fooled by you today. So open the gates of the city wide and welcome me in, I think you are a talent, as long as you submit to me, I don’t need to kill you."

Through the black mist, Wei Xingzhi could even see the viciousness in Yumoyu's eyes, "This general will not conspire with fools."

Yumoyu's face sank, "There's a saying in your Central Committee that if you don't eat a toast, you don't eat fine wine. This king sees that you really don't know what's good."

Wei Xingzhi glanced at the city, "I remember the last one, the second prince's people died a lot... Does the second prince think this kind of thing is familiar? Is it very similar to something made in your country?"

Yumoyu's eyes froze instantly, "What do you mean by that?"

Wei Xingzhi laughed ironically.

Wan Chengqian walked over and said, "Yu Fei has been lurking in Nanxiao for so many years and stole a batch of wrong blueprints. I have already noticed it."

Yumoyu finally couldn't help being shocked after seeing Wan Chengqian.

He is very familiar with Nan Xiao's emperor, even the emperor has arrived, so is the army really after Handan?
He hesitated again.

What's more, they did have the blueprints that Wei Xingzhi mentioned in Xishu, but no one said that they were passed down from Nanxiao.

Compared with the power he had seen the day before yesterday, the power of their Xishu batch could be said to be more thunderous and less rainy.

"Wei Xingzhi."

Wei Xingzhi said lazily, "I'm here."

Yumoyu quickly calmed down, after all, he was cheated once.

"If Handan has an army, why don't you dare to open the city gates and fight with me?"

Wei Xingzhi yawned, "You don't care why, Wei Jiajun never plays cards according to the routine, don't you know?"

She raised her eyebrows, "If you want to attack, then come in and try, and no one will stop you, you won't let you try."

Yumoyu hated Wei Xingzhi's indifferent appearance so much, he raised his hand and signaled a group of soldiers to move forward.

Before taking a step, a row of bows and crossbows stood up above the city tower.

Wei Xingzhi said calmly, "Wang Qi colluded with you in an attempt to harm me, Nan Xiao. I've already dealt with him. Who will be next?"

Yumoyu narrowed his eyes, "You even killed Wang Qi? His son saved your life before, Wei Xingzhi, do you still have any humanity?"

Wei Xingzhi rubbed the center of his brows, "If you think you have it, you have it, if you think you don't have it, you don't have it."

Yumoyu saw that Wei Xingzhi was so calm and relaxed, and he never dared to attack aggressively. He was really afraid that Wei Xingzhi would be deceitful, and they would die if they attacked.

He turned his head around vividly, so it would be better to let Meng Dan's people go to test it first.

"Back." Yumoyu glared at Wei Xingzhi unwillingly, turned his horse's head, and walked back.

Wei Xingzhi gave a 'cut' sound, "I haven't seen you for so long, the second prince is still an idiot, he was scared away by me last time, and he was fooled by me again this time. Could it be that he has some serious illness in his head? Being deceived, he deserves not to inherit the throne."

Wan Chengqian looked away, "How do you know, did he go back to rescue soldiers?"
