Chapter 106 Retreat Without Fighting
As the sun sets, the orange sun turns the surrounding sky red.The two armies still faced each other, and neither of them made a move first. They only saw the occasional gust of wind, and the dust on the ground was rolled up, moving forward with the wind, and then falling.

He raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, looking at Sang Ming who was smiling triumphantly at him with his middle finger raised on the city wall, Cao Meng was annoyed in his heart, turned his head, and saw Meng Liangzhang riding calmly on his horse, not showing any offense at all. Kang Ju was also the same, he couldn't help but clenched his fist secretly.

After thinking about it again and again, Cao Meng stepped up to Meng Liangzhang, clasped his fists, "I wonder when General Meng will order the attack on Linjiang City?" His face was full of respect, and he had already scolded Meng Liangzhang thousands of times in his heart.A few hours passed, he did nothing, just rode on the horse and looked at the two brothers Yuan Hongyi, didn't he know that all their food and grass had been burned, and if they continued to delay, the consequences would be disastrous,
Slowly turning around, Meng Liangzhang glanced at Cao Meng indifferently, his bushy eyebrows frowned slightly, Cao Meng was startled by his cold eyes, and dared not say more.Looking at Cao Meng who had returned to Jiama and left, Meng Liangzhang smiled contemptuously, and turned his head to look at the city wall ten feet high in front of him.

Although Tianxu and Dazhou have lived in peace these years, Pu Yangjing has long regarded Dazhou as something in his pocket, but because of the disparity in military strength with Dazhou, he has to stay still. While secretly recruiting troops, he incited other countries to fight Da Zhou provoked the battle.If it was as expected by the king, no matter how other countries attacked Dazhou, they were all defeated. So after Wumeng was defeated three years ago, the other countries did not dare to attack Dazhou easily, but they still held their breath in their hearts , Vow to win Da Zhou.

This time the battle was also secretly arranged by Pu Yangjing in various countries. Although Pu Yangjing sent Meng Liangzhang, the number one warrior of Tianxu and also his most trusted, to attack Linjiang City, in fact they did not really help Wumeng and Shenghui just wanted to use this opportunity to see what the strength of Dazhou's army was, and to find a way to take Linjiang City in one fell swoop.

The Wumeng Kingdom also has its own plans. Now that the five nations are facing each other, except for the Yueshi Kingdom in the southwest, the other three nations do not want to take the Great Zhou as their own on May Day. Hui and Wumeng are very different in strength, not to mention they once fought against Dazhou and were defeated like a mountain. Although they have been eyeing Dazhou all the time, they dare not act rashly.

This time I learned that in order to ask Tianxu to agree to help him attack Dazhou, Shenghui did not hesitate to give Tianxu Princess Mingyue, who is known as Tianxu's number one beauty, as a sincerity.Of course, Wu Meng would not let go of such a good opportunity, so he sent people to Tianxu to ask for an alliance.

But now... Kang Ju looked at Meng Liangzhang, who was sitting motionless on the horse, and frowned slightly. It was rumored that Meng Liangzhang was brave and good at fighting. Playing cards, even Pu Yangjing has nothing to do with him.

"General Kang, what do you think about sending troops now?" Meng Liangzhang turned his head and said indifferently, but there was a coldness in his calm eyes.

Kang Ju withdrew his gaze abruptly, clenched his fist and said, "It's all up to General Meng." But he was a little worried about how Meng Liangzhang would choose.

"What does General Cao think?" Looking up at Cao Meng, Meng Liangzhang raised one corner of his lips in disdain.Lu Zhen can also be regarded as a wise ruler who governs the country well and loves the people. How could he be so confused that Cao Meng, an idiot, would attack Linjiang City.

Kang Ju didn't dare to say anything, let alone him.Cao Meng clasped his fists, "I'm the same as General Kang. Everything is decided by General Meng alone."

Meng Liangzhang nodded in satisfaction, with some arrogance in his expression, he turned his head and ordered the lieutenant behind him, "Give me the order, withdraw!"

Not only Shenghui and Wumeng were dumbfounded and looked at each other in blank dismay, even Yuan Hongyi and the others were the same.They waited here for several hours without doing anything. They only saw Cao Meng scolding them like a shrew, and they just withdrew their troops like this?
"General Meng..."

A glance came over, Cao Meng suddenly stopped talking, Meng Liangzhang smiled, and said calmly, "General Cao, what do you want to say to Meng?"

Meng Liangzhang's sharp eyes had already made Cao Meng tremble with fright, even if he had something to say, he didn't dare to continue.He shook his head, faltered, and said cautiously after a while, "Isn't it a little wrong to withdraw our troops now? Our food and grass..."

"General Cao seems to have forgotten what he just said? Shall I remind you?" Before Cao Meng could answer, Meng Liangzhang looked at Kang Ju, "Does General Kang have any objections to Meng's decision?" People shudder.

"General Meng is the most trusted general of the Lord of Puyang, and also the number one warrior in Tianxu Kingdom. The general has his own reasons for making such a decision, and I must obey it." Kang Ju apologized with a smile.

Meng Liangzhang snorted coldly, glanced at Cao Meng, turned his head to look at the city wall, and said sharply, "Withdraw the troops immediately."

"Hey, they're really withdrawing their troops." Lin Bin pointed at the leaving army, and looked at Yuan Hongjin in a daze, "General, do you think they are full? Didn't do anything, just He yelled at us and left."

Yuan Hongjin frowned unconsciously, then turned to look at Yuan Hongyi, "Fifth brother, what do you think?"

Yuan Hongyi still looked ahead, turning a blind eye to Yuan Hongjin's words, and turned his head after a long while and said, "This matter is not that simple. If they don't attack now, there must be other interruptions." Suddenly remembered something, and told Sang Ming, " Sang Ming, immediately send some brothers to guard the exits of Changtian Ridge, don't let their grain and grass be delivered, tell the brothers to be careful, remember to bring medicine with you, and pass down the order, tell the brothers to fight for [-] points Spirit, be sure to guard the city gates strictly, and don't let the enemy have any opportunity to take advantage of it."

Without food and grass, if they persisted in attacking them, Tianxu, Wumeng, and Shenghui would just seek their own death in the end.Sang Ming answered yes loudly, exchanged glances with Lin Bin and Tao Yu, and the three of them walked under the city wall together.

In the evening, a soldier brought food, and the two brothers scooped up some food in bowls, and went to stand in the corner of the city wall.

"Fifth brother, do you think the armored soldiers of Tianxu Kingdom are really as powerful as the rumors?" The iron armored soldiers of Tianxu Kingdom were secretly built for two years, but no one has ever seen them. When I saw them today, although the two armies did not fight each other , but the Iron Armored Army is not to be underestimated.

There was no answer for a while, and he turned his head, seeing Yuan Hongyi holding a bowl but absent-minded, Yuan Hongjin shook his head and laughed, "It's fine if I stay here, if you want to go back, go back."

"What?" Yuan Hongyi looked at him blankly.

"Aren't you worried about sister-in-law's safety? Go back and have a look. I'll be fine here." Seeing Yuan Hongyi not moving, Yuan Hongjin started to joke, leaned closer, and whispered, "Sister-in-law has always wanted to leave If you don't go back and have a look, you are not afraid that your sister-in-law will take the opportunity to escape? You have seen the martial arts of that girl Yunxiang, and I think Aunt Liu is also a good family, and Xiao He. With the strength of the three of them, sister-in-law thinks It is not difficult to leave this Linjiang City."

Yuan Hongyi's face changed suddenly, he was really worried that A Wan would take this opportunity to leave him.He quickly put his rice bowl aside, turned around and hurriedly went under the city wall.

Seeing the figure disappearing around the corner, Yuan Hongjin shook his head slightly. As a member of the royal family, he was doomed to be involuntary before he was born. Women are just tools they use to stabilize their status. It is rare for the fifth brother to meet The woman he likes is just... Thinking of the indifference in Bai Ziwan's eyes every time he looked at Yuan Hongyi, he sighed softly, hoping that his sister-in-law would understand Fifth Brother's goodness soon.

"What are you doing standing up? Sit down." Seeing Xiao He standing to one side like a wooden stake, Bai Ziwan frowned angrily, turned his head and gave Yun Xiang a wink.

Rue Xiang understood, got up and pushed Xiao Heqiang down on the stool, "You are really a wooden man worthy of the name. You have been with the master for so long, and in time you saw that the master eats and likes to be watched by the side? How can a man be as coy as a woman? , the master told you to sit down and eat together and you can eat." After finishing speaking, he stuffed the chopsticks into his hand without any explanation.

Bai Ziwan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, and said, "Xiao He, since you choose to follow me, you have to get used to my rules. If you still remember the rules your master gave you before, you can go to him now , I will never force you to stay."

Xiao He was taken aback.

Bai Ziwan said, "Okay, don't just look at me, eat with wine." As he said, he poured wine for the three of them himself.

Seeing this, Xiao He stopped coddling, turned around and put the sword aside, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and poured it on Bai Ziwan again.

She couldn't figure out how Tianxu, Wumeng, and Shenghui would retreat without a fight, but it had nothing to do with her whether they fought or retreated.Bai Ziwan pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, the fishy smell entered her throat, but she felt extremely comfortable.

"Fifth prince." Seeing the person standing at the door of the house at some time, Aunt Liu suddenly stood up and looked at Bai Ziwan worriedly.

Yuan Hongyi stepped in, took off the armor and put it aside, and told Yunxiang, "Go to the kitchen and bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks." He raised his eyes to look at someone, and sat down opposite her. The servants started drinking.

Last night, her concerned words were still in my ears, and her warmth seemed to be lingering in her bosom, but in just one night, seeing her pouring her own drink, Yuan Hongyi frowned slightly, and his heart gradually became sharp. pain.

"Why don't you stop the imperial concubine from drinking?"

Yuan Hongyi reprimanded Xiao He and Aunt Liu, then reached out to snatch the wine glass.As if knowing, Bai Ziwan tilted his head slightly, avoiding the big hand, drank the wine in the glass, and then slowly said, "I want to drink, do you think they can stop it?" I?"

"Stop drinking, you'll feel bad again later." Yuan Hongyi said with a frown as he forcibly snatched the wine glass from Bai Ziwan's hand.

Bai Ziwan raised her head angrily, "You don't go to guard the city wall, what are you doing running back?" He asked Aunt Liu Xiao He, "What are you doing standing? Sit down."

"I don't trust you." Yuan Hongyi said truthfully.

"Don't worry about me?" Bai Ziwan smiled, "Are you so worried that I will run away? Don't worry, I won't run away."

Yuan Hongyi frowned, "Ah Wan, do we have to talk like this? Didn't everything go well last night?"

Seeing the flash of injury in his eyes, Bai Ziwan was stunned, and then said calmly, "Go to Hongyi's side, she has been worried about you for a whole day, since you are back, go and have a look."

It was because she was afraid that she would leave, but more because she was worried that someone would take advantage of this to hurt her. When he came back, not only would he not give him good looks, but he would also push him towards other women.Yuan Hongyi stared at Bai Ziwan for a while, and was about to speak when he heard a loud bang.

"Xiao He, protect the imperial concubine." After a quick glance at Xiao He, Yuan Hongyi grabbed the armor on the side and walked outside quickly.
