At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

As the voice rang out, everyone turned their heads and looked at the bed in surprise.

Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes, his face was pale and bloodless, obviously he was seriously injured.

"Ren Hao is right. The attack by the ancient Wei army this time is very unusual. There must be a trick. Even a lion will do its best to fight a rabbit. We must not underestimate the ancient Wei..."

After hearing Xu Qing's words, Sun Wei fell silent.

Only Wen Yan frowned and said, "What if this is Gu Wei's best-of-both-worlds strategy?"

"Once we launch a large-scale attack, Gu Wei might take this opportunity to attack."

"It's okay!" Xu Qing spoke slowly, his voice still very weak: "Quick battle, quick decision, 15,000 people in the city are enough!"

Wen Yan sighed and said nothing else, but just glared at Ren Hao fiercely.

With Xu Qing's awakening, the dispute between the four military leaders and Zhuge Xuanji and others also came to an end. This is the role of the commander-in-chief.

He can set goals when everyone else is hesitating.

It can also point out the direction when everyone is confused.

From this point of view, Xu Qing did a good job.

A good father will have a good son, and this is exactly what people like Xu Qing are like.

Finally it was decided that Li Cang and Jiang Yunfeng would lead 50,000 men together to fight a quick battle. Li Cang abides by the rules, and Jiang Yunfeng is brave and courageous. They are both wise and brave, and it will be a matter of seconds to destroy the ancient Wei army.

Wen Yan left in a depressed mood and returned to the city to reorganize his troops.

Sun Wei also left.

Only Ren Hao and Xu Qing were left in the room.

"Brother-in-law..." Xu Qing spoke weakly.

"What's wrong?" Ren Hao looked up.

Xu Qing struggled for a moment, a flash of pain flashed across his face, and he had no choice but to continue lying flat.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and said, "I'm in this state. I'm afraid I can't move for a while. I don't have the energy to do anything."

"So I want you to take my place and temporarily become my messenger to pass on messages for me. For some minor matters, you can make your own decisions or discuss them with Mr. Zhuge."

Hearing Xu Qing's words, Ren Hao shook his head: "You should find someone else. I know nothing about military affairs. If I make things worse, it will be troublesome."

Ren Hao is now eager to go home, so how could he have the energy to be a mouthpiece for Xu Qing?

Ren Hao, who has been single for several months, can't wait to rush home and be with his wife and children!

"Brother-in-law..." Xu Qing's eyes showed a trace of helplessness: "There is nothing we can do now. After my father was injured, the morale of the army has been hit. The news that I am seriously injured must not be spread!"

"Fortunately, only a few of you know about it now, so you can keep it."

"I would not feel comfortable if I asked someone else to pass on the message for me."

"Who knows if there are no spies from the ancient Wei among us?"

Ren Hao couldn't help but nod his head. Although the ancient Wei people were a nation that lived by following water and grass, they were no different from the ancient Han people in appearance. Even their clothing and costume culture were the same, except that their folk customs were a little more sturdy.

Therefore, if there were spies from the ancient Wei Dynasty sneaking in, Ren Hao would not be surprised at all.

"Why don't you find your attendant? You can trust him, right?" Ren Hao asked.

Xu Qing shook his head slightly: "He can't, his words don't carry any weight."

Ren Hao couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that I have?"

"Of course you do!" Xu Qing said as a matter of course: "Not to mention that you solved the big problem of the God of War Army, so that we no longer have to worry about the future, even what you said just now is enough to prove that you have a strategic vision!"

"Gu Wei's attack this time was nothing more than seeing my father was injured and recuperating, and wanted to bully me."

"They planned this carefully and brought so many people here without making any noise or revealing their whereabouts. There must be spies among them, maybe even in the God of War Army!" Xu Qing's eyes turned slightly cold.

"You can see the situation clearly and the strategy of the ancient Wei army. If you say you are not important, then there are really few people who can do that."

Ren Hao shook his head: "You should find someone else. I haven't been home for a long time."

"Fighting is your business. I have done my best. Don't keep me here any longer. If I don't go back, your sister will be a widow forever."

Xu Qing sighed and said, "Okay, then you can be my messenger for a few days. After they pacify the ancient Wei army that fled to the south, you can go back."

"Okay!" Ren Hao nodded. If there were still ancient Wei troops in the south, it would be difficult for him to leave. Otherwise, once he was caught, he would most likely be killed instantly.

"There is one more thing..." Xu Qing frowned and said, "How did these people get in? We didn't even hear any news beforehand. This is simply too unbelievable!"

Ren Hao shook his head. He had previously guessed that they had landed from the eastern coast or came around from the west.

But now think about it, neither of these situations makes sense.

The eastern coast is still thousands of miles away. It is a fantasy for 20,000 troops to come here silently!

Although the west is sparsely populated, the journey is too long, and it would be impossible for 20,000 troops to trek over there.

Unless they all have wings and can fly over, or grow horns and can dig a hole over.

Digging a hole?

An idea suddenly flashed through Ren Hao's mind.

Although digging a hole is impossible, is it possible that there are natural holes in these continuous mountains? If this is the explanation, it makes sense!

Thinking of this, Ren Hao quickly told Xu Qing his guess.

Xu Qing was also stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said, "It shouldn't be possible. The soldiers of my Ares Army patrol the surrounding area every day. It is impossible for them to drill out of the cave in the mountain."

"What if the ancient Wei army dug the exit farther away? For example, to a deserted village?" Ren Hao said.

Xu Qing's already pale face changed.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for Li Cang and the others to come back, and immediately send people to search... Alas, I'm afraid it's too late. If the ancient Wei army assassins come in again, I'm afraid there will be big problems!"

Having said that, Xu Qing hammered the bed, his face grimacing in pain.

"The number of defenders in the city cannot be reduced any further..."

"There is another way. Hongyao and Xu Hu are digging coal. We can mobilize them to look for it." Ren Hao said.

Xu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay! Brother-in-law, please go there in person and make sure to search the surrounding area thoroughly!" Xu Qing said.

Ren Hao spread his hands: "I knew it would happen to me again."

Xu Qing laughed dumbly: "Who made you my approved brother-in-law? It all depends on you!"

Ren Hao nodded and walked out helplessly.

Riding on a horse, Ren Hao walked out of the south gate with less than ten people.

Outside the South Gate, some soldiers were collecting corpses and tidying up the remaining battlefield after the war. Most of these corpses had to be burned. Although it was already autumn and winter was approaching, if they were not burned in time, a plague would still form, and the entire army would be infected and die from the plague.

These things only flashed through his mind as he rode past, and then he urged his horse to gallop away again.
