King of Song

Chapter 272

The two armies of Song and Xia fought fiercely in Liyuan Fort, and the situation was somewhat unexpected.

Li Fugui originally wanted to lead his army to rescue Dashun City immediately, but he was dragged to Liyuan Fort, so he could only look at the city and sigh.

Dashun City became an isolated city again, and the besieged soldiers changed from 2000 to 3000.Maybe it can last longer, maybe 1000 more people will die, no one can say clearly whether it is luck or misfortune.

Outsiders don't know, but everyone in Dashun City is suffering.

Standing at the top of the city, Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao looked at the Xixia army that was besieging but not attacking, with solemn expressions.Both Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo had the same expression, the enemy surrounded but did not attack, and the reinforcements were nowhere to be seen.

It doesn't matter if it is normal, the key is that Dashun City is in short supply of supplies, especially drinking water, which has become less and less.

Xu Xi was fidgeting, pacing back and forth at the top of the city.When drinking water became a problem, the water for washing and washing was directly deprived. This civil servant who pays attention to grooming will also be a bit sloppy.

"What's going on? Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?" Xu Xi was very anxious. He was very happy that the Xixia people didn't attack him, but he was very annoyed and anxious that the Song army's reinforcements didn't come.He began to feel more and more that coming to Dashun City this time was an irrational decision, and it was just useless to regret it.

Jing Sili was a loyal person, and said: "It seems that the Xixia people did this on purpose, to encircle but not attack, and their goal is likely to be reinforcements."

"Yeah, maybe they have regarded Dashun City as something in their pocket, so they want to ambush our reinforcements..." Liu Changzuo had the same worry.

Everyone understands the truth of surrounding the spot to fight for aid.Only Xu Xi seemed to have a half-knowledge, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and said in a deep voice: "We can investigate the enemy's situation, and when reinforcements arrive, we should cooperate internally and externally to annihilate the Xixia people..."

Lin Zhao really wanted to "hehe", but he still saved some face for Supervisor Xu.

Zhong Shidao said in a deep voice: "The dust is flying in the distance, and there have been signs of the Xixia army being dispatched these days. It is very likely that the reinforcements are blocked, maybe..."

"Maybe Xixia is still attacking Liyuan Castle..." Lin Zhao added.

Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo's positions are not very high, but they are still very knowledgeable and experienced in military affairs, and they fully agree with the views of the two "scouts".

But Xu Xi's face was gloomy, and he said displeasedly: "Didn't you two tell me that at the time? If this continues, be careful that the supervising army will punish you by delaying the military plan!"

It can be seen that Supervisor Xu has already shown signs of becoming angry from embarrassment.

Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao were very helpless, they were really entrusted with inhumane people!As for Xu Xi's threat, they were not afraid at all.

For the current plan, I can only hope that this supervisor Xu can do well, and don't hinder the safety of Dashun City.

Seeing Xu Xi leaving in a huff, Zhong Shidao didn't care, and asked in a deep voice: "By the way, who is the coach of the Xixia people?" After fighting for a long time, I still don't know the identity of the other coach.

Jing Sili said: "The opponent's general is Ye Lihan, one of the generals of the Twelve Commanders of the Xixia Army. He commanded the attack before. But recently, I feel that the Xixia commander has changed..."

"Who is it?"

Jing Sili shook his head lightly, and said in a deep voice, "You will only find out if you investigate, this is not a secret!"

"So laborious!"

Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao, as well as Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo, had exactly the same thoughts.Right now, we must find a way to attract the attention of Xixia people as soon as possible.

At this moment, they were uncharacteristically, and especially hoped that the Xixia people could start to transfer their main force to attack Dashun City.Only in this way, will the reinforcements be able to arrive...

Just how?For a while, no one had an idea.

At the same time, the water shortage problem in Dashun City has become more and more serious, and hundreds of people have already invested in the ranks of digging wells.However, Dashun City is located in the northwest, relatively arid, where can water be produced quickly by digging a well?
The three thousand soldiers were all a little anxious, looking anxiously at the holes in the ground, hoping that the source of life would emerge as soon as possible!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Liyuan Fort, Liang Yibu was ruthless, and Li Fugui also did not show weakness.

The strength of both sides is similar, so the army is caught in a bitter battle of confrontation.

It is not easy for Xixia to capture Liyuan Fort!
Of course, Li Fugui wanted to rescue him, and it became an extravagant hope to regain Dashun City.

Dashun City will be happy if it is recovered, but it’s fine if it can’t be regained. Li Fugui is even more worried about the situation in Gyeongju.

It was Lin Zhao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who came to investigate the case, and Zhong Yong from the prison!

I've left everything to Chen Qiao, I don't know how it's going to go?Li Fugui wanted to send someone back to inquire, but he didn't want the Xixia people to launch another wave of attack, so he had no time to take care of it.

Li Fugui had no time to take care of it, but Chen Qiao had to worry about it.

They have to take care of a lot of things here in Gyeongju. It has been several days since Lin Shaoqing's guard of honor at Dali Temple arrived forty miles south of Gyeongju.

Lin Shaoqing didn't move at all, and Chen Qiao couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Zhao's throat.According to the news he received, Lin Zhao himself was still investigating outside alone, and did not meet with his subordinates, and the places he went to investigate seemed a bit innocuous.It is quite different from Lin Zhao who Wang Yuanze specially reminded to be careful, which is very puzzling.

It's okay to say for a day or two, but now it's been several days, and Chen Qiao is gradually unable to sit still.Lin Shaoqing represents the imperial court, and people can put on airs, but Gyeongju can't be rude.

Chen Qiao decided to send someone to test it out, which can be regarded as a warning!

Su An was really embarrassed when he received the invitation from Gyeongju.

Lin Zhao never came back, where is there no news?This made him very worried.

Firstly, it was the disaster of sudden war on the border, and secondly, there was a potential enemy like Li Fugui.

If Li Fugui really had a problem, he should be worried now, even afraid of Lin Zhaocai.Why did Babadi send people to condolences and welcome them?

Could it be that this guy did it on purpose?Is it to confuse people, or have ulterior motives?

Su An became more and more worried about Lin Zhao's safety, and what was even more difficult was how to deal with the current situation?

Once Li Fugui finds out that Lin Zhao is not there, what will happen?Unfavorable to Lin Zhao who is away?At least in the future, someone will impeach Lin Zhao for leaving his post without authorization.

How to deal with it?

When Su An was in distress, a savior appeared.Just as he thought before, someone appeared to pretend to be Lin Zhao temporarily.

This person is Zhewenxin!

Miss Zheqi found out through her own channel that Lin Zhao had not met Su An, and she became more and more worried.

For the current plan, I can't take care of so much, so I can only continue to play this "fake".Otherwise, Lin Zhao would have to go through the gang, and he might be in danger too.

At least after seeing Su An, more people and more strength can better inquire about Lin Zhao's whereabouts. Otherwise, it will be unpredictable what kind of consequences it will cause.

Su An was a little surprised. How could the departed Mr. Xin appear and ask to pretend to be Mr. Lin?He didn't know what kind of mysterious relationship this Mr. Xin had with Lin Zhao?
What surprised him even more was still behind. Xin Wenzhe told him that he had actually played Lin Zhao for a long time, and he had attracted the attention and surveillance of Gyeongju.

Su An tentatively asked if it was Lin Zhao who asked him to help?Zhe Wenxin was also ambiguous, but in the actual situation, he was indeed helping Lin Zhao.

At this critical moment, Su An couldn't say much.In Qingtang City, Lin Zhao could take such a risk to save him. Since Lin Zhao believed in him, he didn't doubt his motives.

So the "fake" Lin Shaoqing appeared openly, and after showing up he looked very weak and his voice was hoarse.Claiming that the reason for the delay was that Lin Shaoqing was ill, which also covered up Zhewenxin's daughter well.When Chen Qiao got the news, he naturally knew it well.

At the same time, Lin Shaoqing also said that he would go to Gyeongju after resting for a few days on the grounds that he was unwell.Although such a plan made Chen Qiao heave a sigh of relief, but all the doubts came to mind?What kind of medicine is sold in Lin Shaoqing's gourd?There is some uneasiness in my heart vaguely, I always feel that something is wrong, but I just can't tell!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yuelun, let's leave for Bianjing as soon as possible!"

Jiangning Meng Mansion, Meng Ruoying and others didn't know that Lin Zhao was trapped on Huanqing Road in the northwest, so they thought he was already on his way back from Tubo.

Gu Yuelun smiled and said: "But sister Ruoying can't bear the pain of lovesickness? Counting the days, it seems that cousin should come back!"

The corner of Meng Ruoying's mouth moved, but she didn't smile at all, instead she looked worried.

Huh?Gu Yuelun clearly noticed the change in Meng Ruoying's expression, even if it was her own joke, it didn't make her mention the slightest nature.

"Sister Ruoying, what's the matter?"

"I have often dreamed about him these days, but the dream..." Meng Ruoying said in a deep voice with an unnatural expression, "I always dream of him running in the sand, someone chasing him, and blood... bloody..."

As she spoke, Meng Ruoying's delicate body trembled, her face was filled with worry and fear.After coughing repeatedly, her bloodless pretty face became even paler.

Gu Yuelun was also taken aback, and comforted in a low voice: "Sister Ruoying, it's because you miss your cousin too much, so nothing will happen."

It must be because of repeated nightmares, palpitations, poor sleep and cold, Meng Ruoying was very weak and looked sick.

Meng Ruoying said softly: "Maybe, but we have to go to Bianjing as soon as possible, let's wait for him somewhere!" Between the words, the eagerness and concern were palpable.

"But your body?" Gu Yuelun was unavoidably worried. Meng Ruoying is sick now, how can she bear the long journey?

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, we just take a boat and walk by water."

Seeing her persistence, Gu Yuelun couldn't object anymore, so he could only take good care of her as much as possible.

Meng Ruoying subconsciously grabbed the warm jade pendant on her chest, her eyes were full of concern and expectation...
