"Don't dare to be that." Zhang Rong didn't dare to put on airs to Zhang Xiao.He quickly took a step back, bowed to Zhang Xiao, and said: "This battle is not due to Zhang Rong, but the result of the bloody battle of the soldiers. I dare not claim the credit of the soldiers. By the way, Mr. Zhang, General Zhao is now how?"

Hearing Zhang Rong mention Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiao's face was also a little ugly. He hesitated for a moment, finally took a deep breath, and sighed: "The situation is not good. A doctor has come to diagnose it just now. General Zhao has too many wounds on his body. Excessive blood loss and severe damage to vitality. This is not the most troublesome thing. The problem now is that General Zhao's hands are too severely damaged. The doctor said that General Zhao's meridians in both hands are damaged. I am afraid it will not be that simple. So I I am considering whether to send General Zhao to Jiangling and ask Dr. Zhang to heal General Zhao."

As the sun went down, the city of Nanxiongzhou was in a mess, with the corpses of countless soldiers lying on the top of the city, including those of the Liu family army and those of the Song army.It has been ten days since the Song army besieged the city.Prior to this, the Liu family's army originally sent two troops out of the city, thinking that they were going to fight, and wanted to bluff Wang Zongshi's army that was besieging the city.Unexpectedly, just two days later, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu's army stationed in Nan'an Army appeared from the north of Nanxiongzhou City, and cooperated with Wang Zongshi's army to surround Nanxiongzhou City.

Thanks to Zhao Guang's dexterity, he immediately sent people to take Liu Yi and other two armies back to Nanxiongzhou City, so as not to be defeated by the enemy one by one.But in this way, Nanxiongzhou City was completely surrounded by Wang Zongshi, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu, and was attacked by the two armies every day. It is worth keeping, but the price paid is huge.In the past few days, Liu Jiajun suffered heavy casualties. By the end of the battle today, there were less than 2000 Liu Jiajun left.

On the top of the city, Zhao Guang, whose face was full of stains, held his sword and frowned, walking up and down the top of the city, looking at the wounded soldiers lying on the ground from time to time.In today's battle, thanks to Zhao Guang's trick, he used the urn city trench to break the enemy's attack.Otherwise, Nanxiongzhou City would be broken today.

But these tricks can only be used once, and Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu are not easy to use. I am afraid they will not be fooled next time. Although they repelled the enemy this time, what about the next time?Zhao Guang didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Master Zhao! Master Zhao!" A shout came from behind Zhao Guang.Zhao Guang quickly turned his head and saw a general of the Liu family army.The general was holding a blood-stained and notched sword in one hand, while the other arm was missing from the shoulder, obviously cut off by someone.Now the wound is wrapped tightly with a white cloth, but the white cloth has already been stained red by blood.The general quickly walked up to Zhao Guang, saluted Zhao Guang with a sword in his hand, and said, "Master Zhao! My lord has something to discuss with you."

Seeing this general, Zhao Guang's eyes flashed a trace of pity, and he hurriedly supported the general with both hands, and at the same time looked at his broken arm, and said, "Liu Hua, didn't I let you rest and recuperate? Why don't you You ran here again. Your wound has not healed, and you just need to rest well."

This general is Liu Hua, the general of the Liu Family Army. In the first battle three days ago, when Liu Hua was fighting the enemy, his arm was cut off by a soldier of the Song Army.Fortunately, another general, Liu Song, was by his side at that time and rescued Liu Hua in time, which saved Liu Hua's life, but the arm was broken at the root and could no longer be connected.For a general, how important a hand is.Without this hand, Liu Hua has almost become a useless person. How can Zhao Guang not feel sorry for such a talented person?

Hearing Zhao Guang's words, Liu Hua turned his head and glanced at his broken arm, but smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.He smiled and shook his head and said, "Master Zhao, please don't worry, Liu Hua's life is very hard, this little injury is nothing." Despite the doctor's dissuasion, he still chose to fight the enemy, not at all like a wounded person.

Zhao Guang also knew that he couldn't persuade Liu Hua. Besides, Nanxiong Prefecture City was about to be breached. Even if Liu Hua stayed in the city, Liu Hua would not be able to escape death when the city was broken. It would be better to go to the battlefield and kill someone happy.Immediately, Zhao Guang stopped talking, nodded, patted Liu Hua on the back, and then went straight down to the Liu family's military mansion inside the city. As for the city, he simply left it to Liu Hua to take care of.

Zhao Guang's status in Nanxiong Prefecture was second only to Liu Yi of the Liu Family Army, so when he arrived at the Liu Family Army Mansion, the soldiers guarding the Liu Family Army Mansion had no intention of stopping him at all, but saluted him respectfully .And Zhao Guang walked directly into the Liu family's military mansion, and walked into the discussion palace in a familiar manner.After arriving at the Palace of Discussion, Zhao Guang found that besides Liu Yi sitting directly above, other important generals of the Liu Family Army such as Liu Song and Zhu Hao were also gathered here, but everyone's faces were not very good-looking, The atmosphere in the palace was also unusually depressing.

Seeing Zhao Guang coming, Liu Song and other generals stood up and saluted Zhao Guang. Even Liu Yi stood up. These days, thanks to Zhao Guang's command, he was able to keep Nanning under the stormy attack of the Song army. Without losing Xiongzhou City, it can be said that in the minds of the generals, Zhao Guang has already been regarded as their backbone.It is no exaggeration to say that without Zhao Guang, Nanxiong City would have been breached by the Song Army long ago.

After greeting all the generals one by one, Zhao Guang went straight to Liu Yi, clasped his fists in front of Liu Yi, and said, "I will see you, my lord." But he didn't dare to relax at all.

However, Liu Yi also got down from his seat, directly supported Zhao Guang, and prevented him from prostrating, and then said: "Brother Zhao Guang, you don't need to be polite, come and take your seat." After speaking, Liu Yi took Zhao Guang's hand , walked directly to his seat, and let Zhao Guang sit on his right hand side.

After everyone was seated, Liu Yi didn't waste any time, and hurriedly said to Zhao Guang: "Brother Zhao Guang, just now I have counted the situation of today's battle, and now Nanxiong City is very critical, maybe even tomorrow There is no way to support it, so why hasn't Gao An's reinforcements come yet!"

The reason Liu Jiajun was able to support it before was because of the hope of Gao An's reinforcements.But as time passed day by day, the reinforcements never showed up, and the morale of the soldiers of the Liu family army in the city is getting lower and lower. This situation is not good.

Zhao Guang frowned. In fact, Zhao Guang had taken this matter to heart a long time ago. When he was patrolling the top of the city just now, Zhao Guang also noticed and worried about the state of the soldiers on the top of the city.Zhao Guang also knew that the root cause of the low morale of the soldiers was precisely because the Gao'an reinforcements that should have arrived earlier had not arrived.But Zhao Guang has nothing to do about this matter now.

Now that the city of Nanxiong Prefecture is under siege, Zhao Guang has no idea what is going on outside, why Gao An's reinforcements have not arrived so Zhao Guang can't explain why.

Of course, with Zhao Guang's resourcefulness, he can guess one or two possibilities.Perhaps, Bai Hexing encountered something on the road that delayed him, or Gao An's reinforcements needed to spend more time mobilizing.In Zhao Guang's speculation, there was another possibility that Zhao Guang was unwilling to think about, and that was Gao An's refusal to send reinforcements to Nanxiong Prefecture.

Over the years, there have indeed been many entanglements between Liu Jiajun and Gao An. Xia Cheng's son Xia Hu even died at the hands of Wang Ziping, and Liu Xiucai died in Liu Jiajun's prison because of this.

It can be said that the two sides are almost incompatible. From this point of view, it is reasonable for Gao An to refuse to send reinforcements.But Zhao Guang knew that Gao An was not a stupid person, and Tong Wenbo who was beside Gao An was even smarter, and he would definitely not fail to see the consequences of Liu Jiajun being wiped out.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Guang previously confidently believed that Gao An would definitely send reinforcements, but so many days have passed, and he has never seen the shadow of Gao An's reinforcements. up.

After Liu Yi's question was asked, Zhao Guang was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked at the expectant gazes of the sitting generals, took a deep breath, then forced a smile, and said, "My lord, please rest assured. Gao An In addition to defending against Zhao Zhen, you also have to guard against adults and Xia Cheng before. The deployment of troops must be very scattered. Even the deployment of soldiers and horses will take a lot of time. Therefore, in the opinion of my subordinates, I believe that the best The day after tomorrow, Gao An's reinforcements will definitely arrive."

It's not that Zhao Guang doesn't want to tell the truth, but if he tells the truth in front of these generals, it will only severely damage the confidence of the generals, and it will not benefit the battle tomorrow.So Zhao Guang chose to speak out this most unrealistic conjecture, which could somewhat appease the generals.

Sure enough, after hearing what Zhao Guang said, all the generals heaved a long sigh of relief when they sat down, Liu Yi simply started cursing, and shouted: "Gao An the son of a bitch, it's so troublesome even to mobilize soldiers and horses. Thanks to him It can occupy a territory as large as the entire Fujian Road. If it were an adult, this matter would not be easily handled."

Liu Yi's words were also agreed by most of the people present. Of course, there were very few people who saw Zhao Guang's insincere words, including Liu Yi himself.Liu Yi's martial arts may not be as good as his brother Liu Tong, or even Liu Song, but Liu Yi's intelligence is second to none among the Liu brothers.

After Zhao Guang said those words, Liu Yi could see that Zhao Guang's eyes flickered, as if he hadn't said some words, but Liu Yi quickly guessed why Zhao Guang wanted to do this, of course he would not expose it, but It was to echo Zhao Guang's statement and follow him to appease the generals.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Guang said to Liu Yi: "My lord, the situation in the city is indeed not good. I have a suggestion. Tonight, my lord can lead an army to break through the siege at night and go east to Fujian Road in Gao'an." The territory. And the subordinates are staying in Nanxiongzhou City, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive."

After Zhao Guang said this suggestion, Liu Yi became more and more sure of his conjecture.If it wasn't at the last moment, why would Zhao Guang suggest that he escape from Nanxiong City?And Zhao Guang stayed in Nanxiong Prefecture by himself, obviously wanting to persist until the last moment on his own.

Of course, Liu Yina would not agree to this point no matter what.Immediately, Liu Yi shook his head firmly and said: "No, brother Zhao Guang. I don't agree to do this. Back then, my eldest brother handed over this piece of foundation to me. At this time, abandoning the soldiers and ignoring them, and living alone? If I do this, how will I have the face to meet my father and elder brother in the future."

Hearing Liu Yi's categorical words, Zhao Guang also looked helpless.Of course he also guessed that Liu Yi would respond in this way, but he was entrusted by Liu Tong and wanted to preserve the blood of the Liu family.So he took a deep breath, and wanted to continue persuading Liu Yi, but Liu Yi took the first step, waved his hand, and stopped Zhao Guang from continuing.He said firmly: "Brother Zhao Guang, I have made up my mind. If you still want to continue lobbying me, then don't waste your efforts. Why don't you think about how we should deal with the enemy's attack next."

After Liu Yi said so, Zhao Guang could only stop bringing up the matter, but Zhao Guang had already made up his mind, even if Liu Yi refused, he must find a way to keep Brother Liu Yi. life.Putting this matter aside for now, Zhao Guang pondered for a moment, and said: "Now that the Song army is powerful, it is simply impossible for our army to defend the four gates separately. Therefore, I think that we should abandon the other three gates. Concentrate on defending one place to have a chance."

"Uh." Hearing what Zhao Guang said, everyone in the room was at a loss, Zhu Hao asked with a puzzled face: "My lord, now that the enemy army is surrounded on all sides, if we abandon the gates on three sides, wouldn't that mean letting the enemy go?" Going to the city?" Zhu Hao's question was also agreed by other generals, and even Liu Yi nodded subconsciously.

Zhao Guang shook his head and said: "What I said about abandoning the three gates is a last resort, but it does not mean that the enemies outside the other three gates should be let into the city. Well, I have my own clever plan. We can do this so..."

Then, Zhao Guang uttered his plan, and after Zhao Guang finished his plan, everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Zhao Guang full of confidence, and at the same time, they all showed a trace of determination .

Liu Song was the first to stand up, clasped his fists at Zhao Guang and shouted: "Brother, just do as Brother Zhao Guang said. Up to now, this is the only way we can go. It is better to be broken than to be whole. After Liu Yi finished speaking, the other generals also got up to drink.

The words of Liu Yi and others made Liu Yi's complexion slightly relieved, and there was a hint of pride on his face. He patted his thigh vigorously, stood up, and said to Zhao Guang: "Brother Zhao Guang, that's it Do it, everything will be handed over to you."

Zhao Guang also nodded helplessly. In fact, if he hadn't been forced to the last step, he wouldn't have wanted to make such a move, but the current situation no longer allowed Zhao Guang to choose.Immediately, Zhao Guang also stood up, bowed to Liu Yi, and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. This matter will be handled by the subordinates, and it will definitely succeed."

At the time of the decisive battle in the city of Nanxiong Prefecture, at the same time, in the barracks of the Song army outside the city, there was laughter.Especially in the big tent located in the center of the barracks, the main generals of the Song Army were talking and laughing happily in the big tent this time, and they didn't seem to be embarrassed by the war at all.

Sitting at the top were Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu. Ever since Wang Hu led the Nan'an army to arrive, the two armies had joined together and surrounded the city of Nanxiong Prefecture.

At this time, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu were naturally discussing matters together.Wang Zongshi smiled and said to Wang Hu beside him: "Wang Hu, in today's battle, the defenders of the Liu Family Army in Nanxiong Prefecture City have been completely disabled. We will definitely take Nanxiong Prefecture City by tomorrow." Next. Hehe. After taking down Nanxiongzhou City, let's move our troops eastward and arrest that old boy Gaoan, how about it?"

Wang Hu shook his head with a smile, and said to Wang Zongshi: "General Wang, don't underestimate Gao An. Your Majesty's latest order is to bring the army to the border of Fujian Road after we capture Nanxiong Prefecture." On the first line, you can't go one step deeper into Fujian Road. Next, Your Majesty will make other preparations." Compared with Wang Zongshi's roughness, Wang Hu is much more careful, and he won't go crazy from time to time like Wang Zongshi.

After Wang Hu finished speaking, Cui Hu, who was sitting on Wang Zongshi's left, immediately nodded with a smile and said, "What General Wang Hu said is very true. Commander. Gao An holds the army on Fujian Road, including Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong. With the help of a senior general, Tong Wenbo, who is also a think tank, I am afraid it will not be so easy for our army to take down Gao'an! We should follow His Majesty's order to garrison the Tingzhou area first." Cui Hu was really afraid that Wang Zongshi would go crazy and go Hitting Fujian Road, it happened that Wang Hu opened the mouth, and he also took advantage of the situation to persuade Wang Zongshi.

Hearing what Wang Hu and Cui Hu said, Wang Zongshi curled his lips, obviously a little unhappy.However, Wang Hu had previously mentioned Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's name, so he couldn't refute it anymore, so he could only agree bitterly.Sitting on Wang Hu's right was Zhang Long, the general of Fuzhou. He smiled and said to Wang Zongshi: "Commander Wang, just exterminating the Liu family's army thieves is already a great achievement, and we have to give it to the others. Lu Dajun should save some soup."

Since Wang Hu was ordered to garrison the Nan'an Army, Zhang Long and other Fuzhou generals have been stationed with Wang Hu in the Nan'an Army.Zhang Long and others and Wang Hu are old partners, and there is no problem in cooperating with each other, so this time to attack Nanxiong Prefecture, Wang Hu also brought several generals under his command.

Zhang Long's words made all the generals present burst into laughter. Wang Zongshi's temperament is also casual. He smiled at Wang Hu and said, "Speaking of credit, you are the first one to contribute this time, Wang Hu. If you hadn't sent the news in time that the envoy Liu Yi sent to Gao'an for help had died, we might really be punished." Liu Yi was fooled by his tricks."

Regarding Wang Zongshi's words, Wang Hu just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I was just lucky. After all, Liu Yi should be regarded as the death of the heavens. Who would have thought that the wife of the Wu family in Fujian Road, She actually hid in a small mountain village and got married. No one would have thought that by such a coincidence, the envoy sent by Liu Yi to ask for help would also lodge in that small mountain village. Haha, God's will! God's will!"

What Wang Hu said was about Bai Hexing being killed by Wu Yingying that day.Originally, Wu Yingying did this matter neatly.After she killed Bai Hexing, she burned down her own house, dragged her son, took Bai Hexing's belongings, and escaped from the mountain village overnight.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yingying was bumped into by Wang Hu's army who was rushing towards Nanxiong Prefecture on the road.Originally, Wu Yingying's mother-in-law, mother and son were dressed like ordinary people, so they would not attract the attention of others.But it was such a coincidence that when Wu Yingying plundered Bai Hexing's belongings before, she took a kit from Bai Hexing to put it in, and this kit was used by Wu Yingying's son because of its exquisite style. Zhang Long saw it.
