Raid

Chapter 250
"Why did it fall? In detail, what is the situation in Jinzhong now? Which state was captured?" Li Shengxi said coldly.

"Kaizhou fell. If it weren't for the generals who took precautions in time, I'm afraid they would have attacked Wangling Pass. Perhaps it was because Xirong had cut off business with Northern Qi. They had to prepare for the winter, and it happened that Marshal Xu had an accident. Dingning They raided in the middle of the night when Hou was not in Qingxia. Because the incident happened suddenly, they were easily captured. Fortunately, they did not massacre the city, but burning, killing and looting is inevitable." Li Xun will report calmly.

"Marquis Ding Ning and Xu Shuai didn't stay in Jinzhong and Qingxia all the time in the past. In the past, there was nothing wrong. Why did something happen today?" Li Shengxi murmured.

"What is Xirong's next move?" Li Shengxi continued to ask.

"Anhuai, Sun Jie and the others guarded the Wangling Pass. The Xirong people did not go any further, and since they cut off contact with the Northern Qi Dynasty, their lives have not been very good. This time they took Kaizhou, but they enjoyed themselves first. The next step of military deployment has not been found out yet. It's just that the relationship between our court and Xirong is bad, and they even know that according to General Yimo's understanding of Xirong, they will definitely not just want to open the state.

Furthermore, the winter is hard to bear, and Xirong has always been full of desires. Even if they stop in Kaizhou temporarily, they will definitely burn, kill and loot in Kaizhou. "Xu Huanzhi was pardoned after Li Sheng's attack on the memorial last time, so he is here to discuss the matter now. He very much agrees with Li Xun's words just now.

The Xirong people were bloodthirsty and cruel, massacring cities at every turn.The reason why they didn't massacre the city this time was because they didn't have enough supplies for such a bloody entertainment.

When they are full and ready to continue fighting, it will be a nightmare for the people of Kaizhou.

Li Shengxi knew Xu Huanzhi's thoughts, and he naturally knew that Xu Huanzhi's idea was to defeat the Xirong people and expel them from the country.

"How did Jinzhong arrange it?" Li Shengxi frowned.

"They have already decided to send troops, but this time it is particularly unfavorable to send troops, and they have been repeatedly frustrated." Xu Huanzhi gritted his teeth, and he and Li Shengxi looked at each other, both of them had tacit anger in their eyes.

Others may not know it, but the two of them know that there is an inner ghost in Jinzhong.In the past few miserable victories, it was only by Xu Huanzhi's efforts to turn the tide that he could set things right at the critical moment.

What's more, the famous generals in Jinzhong are like clouds, everyone has qualifications and military exploits. Although they can't be said to be infighting on weekdays, they still have their own opinions, so Xu Huanzhi is the one who makes decisions every time.Now that Xu Huanzhi is not here, I am afraid that there is no one who can really make up his mind.

If the inner ghost confuses the public and provokes them, it will easily lead to chaos in Jinzhong.

Under such circumstances, Xu Huanzhi had to go back.Whether it is him, Li Shengxi, or Mu Jing, they are not worried about fighting with the Xirong people.They have fought with Xirong for many years, and they understand each other and have enough experience.Compared with the inner ghost, Xi Rong is not to be feared.

What I am afraid of is the inner ghost.

"Your Highness, please allow me to return to Jinzhong." Xu Huanzhi asked Ying.

"I will go with you." Li Shengxi nodded, Xu Huanzhi was going, and she was going too.Not only for Xi Rong's affairs, but also to find out the inner ghost.

Mu Jing on the side raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words. Before that, he had heard Li Shengxi and Xu Huanzhi talk about the inner ghost in Jinzhong. The generals are not incompetent, I am afraid that this time the Xirong people have already prepared. The last general asked to lead a team of Qingqi back to Qingxia quietly, and then lead the army to raid the Xirong people's rear camp.

If the Xirong people have other plans, the humble officials can stabilize them first to prevent chaos during their trip.If they have no other plans, then the last general can be caught off guard by this move. "

Although Mu Jing has always been proud, at such a critical juncture, it is impossible for him to really speak out.Besides, Qingxia and Jinzhong have always been helping each other, and this is not the first time that the two sides have teamed up to fight against Xi Rong.

Although he also wanted to join Li Shengxi, Mu Jing knew very well that Qingxia was his territory, where he could better help Li Shengxi repel Xi Rong.

Li Shengxi still prefers useful people to clingy trash.

Li Shengxi nodded, "Okay, you go out immediately without delay."

There are many people going to Jinzhong, and they are mighty. Even if they don't stop, they will definitely not be faster than Mu Jing riding a Qingqi. It is the best way for him to go first.In addition, these places are not far apart.

Mu Jing nodded, saluted and left.

After everyone drew up guidelines and policies, everything became busy.

After the meeting was over, Li Shengxi and Rong Zhi discussed matters while walking, but unexpectedly, they met the long-awaited crossbowmen as soon as they left the house.

In fact, he had come a long time ago, but nothing was as big as a military plane, and it was impossible for him to break in and report.

Li Shengxi frowned when he saw him. If everything went well, the crossbowman would not come to him at this time, let alone come to him with such an expression.

"What happened?" Li Sheng asked with deep eyes.

"Before Qu Zhili entered the secret room, he held Mrs. Qu hostage and forced Mrs. Gu to retreat. Mrs. Gu had already sent someone to guard the exits of the secret passages. She didn't dare to make a decision, so she asked her subordinates to come down and report to His Highness." Gong The crossbowman replied.

Li Shengxi's face darkened, "You mean he started to hold Xiaoniang hostage after he entered that room?"

"indeed."

"He really has a problem." Li Shengxi gritted his teeth, and hated his wifely kindness for a moment. If he had chosen to kill Qu Zhili from the beginning, he would not be in the dilemma he is in now.

If Qu Zhili had kidnapped Xiaoniang at another time, it could still explain that he just didn't want to be a prisoner.But he happened to be the one who held hostage after entering the house.

And after he took the hostage, instead of intimidating the crossbowmen to let them release him, he chose to enter that room and become a trapped beast.

This shows that in his mind, "going in" has a greater chance of winning than "going out".

After all, not everyone will be jealous because of Ying Xiao.

But in that room, it was almost impossible for him to escape, he could only be trapped in it.

Unless he knows that there is a secret passage inside, strictly speaking, he knows the location and mechanism of the secret passage inside.Only the inner guards know these things.Qu Zhili was not an inner guard, how could he know.

After several times of elimination, there was only the last possibility left. He had a connection with Li Rui, and the relationship was very deep.
