Chapter 625

Murong Yanchao said, "How many people does Zong Xin have?"

"About three to four hundred people."

"Such a small number of people actually wiped out all 5000 troops of your three armies?" Murong Yanchao said, "Could it be Zong Xin's Ao Clan iron cavalry?"

Huangfu Jixun said: "That's right, they are the iron cavalry of the Ao Gang. They are all well-equipped, their armor is thick, and their horses run powerfully. The three of us are all infantry, and a single charge can disperse the entire team, followed by a one-sided massacre That's all. What's more, Zong Xin and Youyun Eighteen Cavalry, they run rampant in the army, there is nothing to do with them."

The two armies are fighting against each other in such a game. Facing Zong Xin, who can pinch and count, one step ahead will be invincible.Sure enough, Zong Xin was the most unprovoked person in the world.But I didn't want to provoke him, who made him Guo Wei's son-in-law?
Huangfu Jixun said: "Paper can't cover fire, even if you kill me now, the news will still reach His Majesty's ears. What's more, our martial arts are evenly matched. If we really fight, you may not be my opponent. What's more What's more, I'm surrounded by martial arts masters, and I've been on guard against you for a long time. It's just that I really didn't expect that you were actually going to make a move."

Huangfu Jixun felt an inexplicable murderous aura, and he knew that it was Murong Yanchao who was planning to kill and silence him.Obviously, if this news reaches Li Jing's ears, he will definitely withdraw his troops.When the time comes, Murong Yanchao will be isolated and helpless, and sooner or later Zong Xin will block him to death in Xuzhou City.

But if Huangfu Jixun were killed at this time, maybe Li Jing would accompany him to wait for reinforcements. As long as Li Jing didn't withdraw, everything would be hopeful.

It's a pity that Huangfu Jixun had already seen through Murong Yanchao's little tricks, so this time he brought a lot of martial arts masters here, the purpose was to limit Murong Yanchao's martial arts, His Majesty is in the city, these people plus himself are all Came here to protect His Majesty's safety.

A person came out from behind Huangfu Jixun. This person was dressed in a black robe, had an excellent appearance, a slightly thin body, and held a seemingly very expensive sword in his hand.You can feel his sword energy before you make a move, and the scabbard is extremely expensive, it looks absolutely extraordinary.

"General Murong, there is no need to worry about this matter. I can talk to Zong Xin to see what he is going to do. I will be back tomorrow morning. Everyone, wait for the good news."

Murong Yanchao asked in surprise, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to talk to Zong Xin?"

"Nonsense, I'm his uncle. Although my sister is only Zongxin's concubine, Zongxin doesn't see any distinction between wives and concubines. He will still give me some face." Dugu Xingye immediately drove to Xu Go to the west city of Zhouzhou.

Huangfu Jixun said: "This is Dugu Xingye, the eldest son of the Dugu Clan. He is Dugu Xingyue's elder brother. He is naturally Zong Xin's eldest uncle. It was an accident to meet him. After all, he is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Ask him to do me a favor. Ask Zong Xin what he wants."

Murong Yanchao was almost desperate, he knew best what Zong Xin wanted.Even if he killed Guo Tong and Le An with his own hands, Guo Wei hated him deeply, and Zong Xin supported Guo Wei so much, his goal was of course to kill himself.

If it was changed to before, Murong Yanchao would definitely turn his face immediately.Even if there is a fight, this group of people cannot be allowed to enter the city, because as long as they enter the city, Li Jing's side will be unstable.After Dugu Xingye came back, Li Jing must be even more unstable, because Zong Xin would definitely propose to let Tang Jun go, only targeting himself.

But now Murong Yanchao was not in such a hurry, because Zong Xin couldn't kill himself because he had a piece of incense in his hand to save his life.As for Li Jing's side, there's no need to quarrel with him too much, after all, when you have nowhere to go, you can still rely on him.If Zong Xin was protected within the Tang Dynasty, no matter how brave he was, he would not dare to attack. If he wanted to assassinate him, it would be a good thing, because his martial arts were higher than him.

Murong Yanchao gritted his teeth and said: "General Huangfu was joking just now. I only had such a big killing intent because I was too angry. Let alone you, even His Majesty may not be able to bear it. This is not a trivial matter. Let's hurry up and inform His Majesty."

"En~"

At this time, Murong Yanchao no longer had the power to go crazy. Although the Tang army was small in terms of strength, Murong Yanchao would be even more uncomfortable if they fought.And if he and Tang Jun really clashed in the city, Zongxin would only be taken advantage of. This kind of conflict would not end easily. When Zongxin attacked the city and they were still fighting, then everything would be over.

There can be no conflict in terms of military strength, and there is no way to do it in terms of martial arts.Although Murong Yanchao's martial arts are very good, but now that Huangfu Jixun and many masters are present, Murong Yanchao can only bear it.In fact, this was originally Datang's army, Li Jing retreated whenever he wanted, and had nothing to do with Murong Yanchao.What's more, Li Jing didn't get any benefits in the first place. Now that he has lost his wife, Li Jing can't stay in Xuzhou anymore.

Li Jing was originally a scheming guy, and he came to take advantage of this battle. Li Jing just hoped that without any sacrifice, he could use such things as sending [-] troops as a condition to let Liu Chong win the country. Liu Chong gave him great benefits.

But now it is impossible to seize the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if Xuzhou is kept, it will not be of any benefit to Li Jing.At this time, if Li Jing is asked to pay money and people to help him guard Xuzhou, let alone Li Jing, even if he finds a fool, he will not agree.

A group of people came directly to Li Jing's mansion. Li Jing was indeed courageous enough. He lived in Murong Yanchao's territory and had more than 2 troops in his hands. He could still sleep... This kind of bearing is definitely not something ordinary people can do get.As long as Murong Yanchao finds a way to kill Li Jing, he can take over the rest of the army, and these people will not leave Xuzhou.

Of course, Li Jing predicted that Murong Yanchao would not dare to do this.Because these soldiers had to eat, Murong Yanchao had no money or food, and he needed supplies from Datang to continue to live.Otherwise, these soldiers would starve to death after Xuzhou ran out of grain.

The scheming is talking about people like Li Jing, who only cares about his own interests, and when this interest is damaged, Li Jing will definitely back down.Even if there is a little benefit in this battle, Li Jing may think about it a little bit, but under the situation of no benefit at all, Li Jing also backed down.

After telling Li Jing everything, Li Jing looked gloomy.After thinking carefully for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking, but everyone was surprised.Shouldn't we retreat immediately at this time?What is Li Jing still thinking about?
When reporting, Huangfu Jixun told Li Jing alone, and Li Jing also knew that it was not the three-way army that was ambushed, but only the army led by Li Hongmao was attacked, but Huangfu Jixun lied that the entire army was wiped out, and that Chen Jue was also dead. up.

When he learned that Li Hongmao was not dead, Li Jing felt a little comforted, thinking that he had the ability to escape from Zong Xin's hands.But it's a pity for the [-] troops. It can save some military expenses and food, but now the strength of the troops is the most important thing.

In fact, Li Jing wanted to retreat a long time ago, but because of Murong Yanchao's relationship and Tang Jun's current position, he didn't dare to directly tear himself apart with Murong Yanchao.If he wants to retreat, Murong Yanchao will definitely find a way to stop it. If there is a real fight then, of course Zong Xin will have the happiest smile.

After thinking carefully about Li Hongmao being ambushed, Li Jing finally made a decision.

"Your Majesty, when will we retreat?" Huangfu Jixun had no other ideas, and now the only way out was to withdraw as soon as possible.Even though Murong Yanchao was by his side, he no longer had any fear, anyway, Murong Yanchao was the same as them, not daring to fight in the city.

Li Jing waved his hand and said: "The widow hasn't said to retreat yet, do you want to make the decision for the widow?"

"The end will not dare."

Li Jing said: "I have decided, let me think about it overnight, and discuss it tomorrow morning. General Huangfu must have worked hard all night, go to sleep first, let me think about it."

"The last general will retire." Although Huangfu Jixun was domineering, he was very honest in front of Li Jing, doing whatever he was asked to do without asking why.This is also what Li Jing likes most about him, as long as Huangfu Jixun doesn't make trouble, this matter will be settled.

Now that Li Jing has issued an order to evict the guest, Murong Yanchao can't stay any longer.But depending on the situation, Li Jing is still thinking about it.It stands to reason that Li Jing should retreat at this time, and he has nothing to worry about.Not to mention Li Jing, even he will retreat at this time.Why wait until tomorrow morning?
I don't understand, and Murong Yanchao also feels that he can't figure it out, because people like Li Jing don't allow others to see him through, and he thinks twice before doing everything.Anyway, I can't figure it out, I'd better go back to my room and sleep first, I'll sleep well tonight, I'm the only one on the bed...

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Murong Yanchao and his party got the news that Zongxin's army was pressing down on the border, and all the troops were assembled, and Murong Yanchao was sweating profusely.Looking at the crenels of the towers, it turned out that the Zhou army was not planning to attack the city, but just set up camp in the city. What is the reason for this?
Murong Yanchao didn't know why Zong Xin didn't directly attack the city, but gathered not far outside the city. Isn't he afraid of being attacked suddenly by the people in the city?There is really nothing to be afraid of, because there is still a gap in the strength of the two sides, not to mention that Zong Xin is sinister and vicious, and he can pinch and count. It is almost impossible to sneak attack this kind of person.

Murong Yanchao immediately ordered people to defend well, no matter whether Zong Xin really wanted to attack the city or not, his formation was definitely not good for the coming, so it was absolutely right to prepare in advance.

At this moment, Li Jing also came to the crenel of the city wall, followed by Huangfu Jixun and many martial arts masters.When Murong Yanchao saw him walking up the city wall, he was so angry that he almost went over to give him two slaps. Now that he is walking so fast in this situation, isn't he afraid that the other party has already broken through the city gate before reaching the city wall?
Li Jing came directly to Murong Yanchao, and then said softly: "General Murong, I have already figured it out. As expected, I still have to retreat. Zong Xin is too powerful. I didn't want to be an enemy of Zong Xin, but I was forced to do so." I promised to lend you troops. But the situation is completely different now. Now it is difficult to keep the main city. I have tried my best, but Zong Xin predicted it earlier and ambushed three of my troops. 5000 people are not To be captured is to be killed, and there is nothing I can do."
