Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 191 The Bondage of the Oath

"Go down."

Wang Meicheng of Xiliang waved his hand and ordered the scouts who reported the news to retreat, took two steps back, and slumped down on the chair in the camp tent.

The army just came to Zhangwu, and before they could confront Xirong, they got the news that the Jingzhou army was attacking Yongwei.

This is nothing short of bad news.

"His Royal Highness," he looked weakly at Xiao Zhuo who was standing next to him, "on one side is my son, and on the other side is my foundation of life, Yongwei. What should I do?"

The counselors who surrounded him before were all driven away by him.

As long as Xiao Zhuo is around, he feels hopeful.As for those scholars, they really couldn't help themselves.

Xiao Zhuo glanced at him sharply, not knowing exactly what emotions were in it.The only thing that remains unchanged is Xiao Zhuo's calm expression, which can give him some comfort.

With Xiao Zhuo's ability, he must have a way to save the crisis in front of him.

"My lord, Xiao Zhuo is just like you," Xiao Zhuo said calmly, "One side is my friend, and the other side is my oath."

Mei Cheng smiled wryly: "Yes, I really didn't expect that."

How did things suddenly come to this point?

Zhangwucheng was surrounded by the Xirong army layer by layer, just like when he was besieged by the Xirong army in Leshan.

If Xiao Zhuo hadn't led the cavalry to lead the Xirong army away, he would have been finished in Leshan, and Xiao Zhuo was his savior.Now he has no doubt that Xiao Zhuo has the ability to rescue Maple from Xi Rong.

But Xiao Zhuo once made a truce oath with King Doma of Xirong.If it weren't for that agreement, Xirong would have continued to attack, perhaps until Yongwei.

From this point of view, Xiao Zhuo not only saved him, but also saved the whole of Xiliang.

But in his rage, he sent Mei Pu to attack Zhang Wu, completely destroying everything Xiao Zhuo managed.The Jingzhou Army launched another attack at this time, and Yongwei was at stake.

An army of 20 attacked Yongwei, and I had [-] on my side. Counting the [-] troops of Mei Pu who were besieged in Zhangwu City, the total number of Xiliang troops was only [-].

With his style of fighting and losing repeatedly, he has no confidence in winning this battle at all.

But he dared not hand over the army to Xiao Zhuo.In her letter from her daughter Mei Dai, she said that Xiao Zhuo must have the intention of seizing Xiliang, and she must not hand over the army to Xiao Zhuo.

Mei Dai is in the palace, so she doesn't know the current situation.Without Xiao Zhuo's army, Mei Pu could not be rescued, and neither could Yongwei.

Maple is his son, and Yongwei is the inheritance left by his father.If the army was given to Xiao Zhuo, what would be left of what he was protecting? Wouldn't Xiliang belong to Xiao Zhuo?
With a long sigh, Mei Cheng said to Xiao Zhuo: "His Royal Highness, please go out with me."

After speaking, he took the lead to go outside the tent, Xiao Zhuo followed behind him.

It was cold and windy outside the tent, and the voice was harsh.Zhangwu City was clearly visible in the distance, and the camp of the Xirong Army surrounded the city from all directions.White tents, waving flags, densely surrounded an isolated city in the center.The size of the Xirong army is about [-].

"Do I want to save my son, or save Yongwei..." Mei Cheng muttered to himself.

"My lord, although the city wall of Yongwei is strong, but the Jingzhou army has 20 people, and the distance between the Jingzhou army and Yongwei is closer than ours, even if we return to the army immediately to rescue, it will be too late." Xiao Zhuo pointed to Zhang Wu , "The city wall of Zhangwu is broken, and there is not much food and grass inside. If you go to rescue Yongwei first, the prince will definitely not be able to support you to return to the army to rescue. Since our army has come to Zhangwu, it is right to rescue Zhangwu first."

The implication is obvious, if you go to save Yongwei, you will end at both ends.If Yongwei can't keep it, Maple will be doomed.

"If Yongwei is occupied by the Jingzhou army, our army will have nowhere to go, and we will be in a desperate situation," Xiao Zhuo continued to explain to him, "If we rescue Mei Shizi, we will not only have [-] troops, but also have Zhangwu City to garrison... "

"Save my son first, yes," Mei Cheng put his hand on Xiao Zhuo's shoulder, "If His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't explained it, I wouldn't know what to do."

After Xiao Zhuo's explanation, he has completely understood.

Now no matter what daughter Mei Dai says, it is absolutely impossible not to give Xiao Zhuo an army here.

The previous battle with Xirong has shown that the entire Xiliang generals are no match for the Xirong army.Now his only reliance can only be Xiao Zhuo.

He flipped his cloak, turned back into the account, and said to Xiao Zhuo: "His Royal Highness, I will give you [-] troops. Please rescue Mei Pu."

In any case, now he can only rely on Xiao Zhuo.

"I can't," Xiao Zhuo shook his head, "I have an oath with King Doma, and I can't break the oath I made."

Mei Cheng turned around the table and came to Xiao Zhuo with an anxious look on his face: "Your Highness, my son led an army to save you. Don't forget."

"I also broke the siege of Leshan." Xiao Zhuo's tone was calm.

Mei Cheng sighed, knowing that Xiao Zhuo was determined.He had no choice but to say: "Okay, I will lead the army to rescue. This is our Mei family's own business, and we really can't rely on outsiders."

He was about to ask someone to put on armor for him, but Xiao Zhuo raised his hand to stop him.

"My lord, although I can't appear in front of the Xirong army, I can advise you. It just depends on whether my lord can implement my plan."

Mei Cheng smiled wryly and said, "I have learned a lot of strategies, but when it comes time to use them, it's not like that at all."

I usually read military books and war strategies, and I have learned a lot.When I used it, I found that the opponent did not follow the instructions in the book of war at all.Of course I don't know how to deal with it.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the lord is determined to win and let the soldiers fight the enemy with all their strength, as long as there are these two things, I guarantee the lord will win."

"Okay, now that Xiliang's life is hanging by a thread, I will listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Mei Cheng slammed his fist on the table, "Since the confrontation with Xirong, I have not won a single victory, and I have been frustrated for a long time."

"My lord, come here first. We can't send troops hastily. I'll explain the geography here to you first."

Xiao Zhuo called Meicheng to the hanging topographic map: "There used to be a river in Zhangwu City... it was here... Benniu River, this place is shaped like a pocket, although the river is frozen, it can't pass people... we can let Mei Shizi cooperated..."

Mei Cheng said with a smile: "I don't know anything about my own territory, so I need the Crown Prince to explain it."

"For a general, one should master astronomy and geography," Xiao Zhuo shook his head slightly, "If you don't understand geography, how can you fight. Don't be distracted, my lord, let's continue."

As soon as the words fell, a sergeant from outside the tent hurried in to report.

"My lord, Mei Shizi forcibly led the army to break through, and encountered Su Mo Nai, the general of the Western Army, and the two fought several times. His Royal Highness was exhausted, and Su Mo Nai cut off his left hand with a knife, and was defeated back to the city."

"What... what." Mei Cheng asked repeatedly in disbelief, "Say it again."

Even Xiao Zhuo opened his eyes wide.

The sergeant repeated what he said before, and finally said in a low voice: "The Xirong army ordered an envoy to send the severed hand of His Royal Highness to our army for the prince to watch."

After finishing speaking, the sergeant turned around and waved his hand: "Bring it in."

Another sergeant held a plate in both hands and covered it with a blood-stained white cloth, and walked into the tent anxiously.

Mei Cheng took two steps forward and tore off the white cloth.

Xiao Zhuo also caught up, and the eyes of the two fell on the severed hand on the plate.

The severed hand was cut off with half of the forearm, and the five fingers were bent.

Meipu's left hand is obviously different from ordinary people because of his illness. Although after taking the medicine prepared by Shen Yuexi, his left hand can move like a normal person, but the appearance is completely different.Both Mei Cheng and Xiao Zhuo recognized that it was indeed Mei Pu's left hand.

Xiao Zhuo frowned, standing silently in front of the severed hand.

Mei Cheng took a few steps back and sat down on the ground: "This is... this is my son's hand..."

"My lord, please hand over the seal to me." Xiao Zhuo turned around, his gaze was like a torch, "I will lead the troops to battle now."
