The Linyang King that the emperor spoke of was his little uncle, the younger brother of the late emperor, who held a heavy army and never asked about court affairs.

Now that the emperor is trapped in Hanyang Pass, he naturally has to seek help from King Linyang, and only when he gets the news of King Linyang's rescue, he will be at ease and calmly face the courtiers in this room.

Right now, even though Marquis Jingbian led troops to rescue him and fought with Rongdi soldiers and horses outside the city, Marquis Jingbian was exhausted because of the enemy general's wheel tactics.

Rongdi's generals were sure that there were no other generals in Hanyang Pass except Jingbianhou, so they were so arrogant. As long as Jingbianhou was defeated, they would attack the city. Get out of the way.

But the emperor is not willing to bear the infamy of losing the city while sitting in the city.

So the immediate solution is to help the Marquis of Jingbian get out of trouble, and stop the ambitions of Rongdi soldiers and horses to attack the city until Linyang King and Xiao's soldiers and horses arrive.

With the emperor's permission, the six of them, Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan, climbed onto the tower and watched the battle between Marquis Jingbian and General Rong Di.

Xu Yanqing supported the tower, and called out worriedly: "Father! Father, be careful...Father!"

Jingbian Hou seemed to have noticed Xu Yanqing's voice, looked back at him from a distance, and then fought against the local general again.

The sparks and icy sound that burst out when the swords met hit Xu Yanqing's chest. He nervously picked at the brick cracks of the city wall, his eyes were red, and Gu Junci looked very worried.

It is really not a good experience to witness relatives fighting on the battlefield like this...

Gu Junci raised his eyes and watched the soldiers and horses assembled in the distance. The battle flags swayed fiercely with the wind, and an unstoppable atmosphere rushed over.

The siege of Hanyang Pass this time did not seem to be a premeditated battle, but an anxious and hasty battle. Although they were unstoppable, their impetuous attacking mentality was really unpredictable.

"Brother Xiao, have you noticed that the Rongdi people's desire to win is too strong." Gu Junci said.

Xiao Yuan withdrew his gaze, met Gu Junci's eyes, and nodded immediately.

But Xie Suiyun didn't take it seriously: "On the battlefield, there is no one who wants to be defeated."

Gu Junci looked at him and said with a smile: "Young Master Xie, seeking victory is a good thing, but if you are too anxious, you can't do it. The army must be prepared to fight steadily if it wants to attack the city, especially Rongdi's invasion of the border. It was premeditated, and every step should not be rushed, but in my opinion, the leader of Rong Di was too anxious, and did not make precise deployment arrangements, but just blindly attacked, as if he wanted to be able to do it today. The siege was successful."

Xie Suiyun watched Gu Junci for a long while, but didn't know how to refute him.

Xiao Yuan frowned, and after a while he showed a relaxed expression: "I do have a plan to solve today's crisis."

Gu Junci: "Tell me and listen."

Xiao Yuan's eyes were sly, and he didn't say anything clearly, he just greeted them and went down the tower, then went back to the General Military Mansion.

Seeing Gu Junci and the others come back full of confidence, the emperor felt a little curious in his heart, and after avoiding their salute, he couldn't help but said: "Ah Yuan, tell me, what do you have to defeat the enemy? Policy."

Xiao Yuan saluted, with a serious look on his face: "Young Master Gu just said after watching the battle that the Rong and Di soldiers are eager to attack, and they seem to know that there is no reinforcements in Hanyang Pass, and they must succeed in attacking the city within today, so I think that they can be suspicious soldiers. It is a plan to make the Rongdi soldiers think that our reinforcements have arrived ahead of schedule."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's proposal, other people in the General Military Mansion whispered to each other, seeming to disagree very much.

Prime Minister Xie showed contempt: "Second Young Master Xiao is young, so he doesn't know that the battlefield is treacherous and suspicious of soldiers' tactics. I'm afraid he can only fool a three-year-old child."

The general soldier of Hanyangguan also echoed: "Indeed, although Second Young Master Xiao came from a family of generals, but he has never been on the battlefield, how can he understand the battlefield, don't talk nonsense."

One sound of agreement, two sounds of following, soon, all the voices in the main hall became belittling Xiao Yuan's proposal, and were not optimistic about it.

On the contrary, Xiao Yuan's expression was as usual, and the openness and confidence between his brows made him not intend to argue with them.

Instead, Gu Junci, who was beside him, approached his ear and whispered: "Actually, I also think that the strategy of suspicious soldiers is the best."

Xiao Yuan looked at him, with a smile on his lips, this scene was captured by the emperor, the emperor covered his lips with gloomy eyes and coughed lightly, all the people in the main hall were silent and looked towards the emperor cautiously.

The emperor stared at Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci in front of him, and said after a long time: "What are you two talking about?"

Gu Junci clasped his fists together and saluted: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am saying that the strategy of suspecting soldiers is feasible, and I am willing to work with Second Young Master Xiao to lay out this situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanqing, Huo Situ, Yang Junfang and others clasped their fists in agreement, expressing that they could be with Xiao Yuan.

When Prime Minister Xie looked at Xiao Yuan, his eyes were dark, but he disappeared without a trace when he looked at Xie Suiyun. Before he could speak, Xie Suiyun clasped his fists and saluted:

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to give it a try."

Prime Minister Xie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this Young Master Xiao is so young, how can he know the dangers of the battlefield, so don't trust him."

The emperor glanced sideways at Prime Minister Xie, then rolled up his sleeves and sat upright, with a smile on his lips, he said, "Prime Minister, I know what you mean, this Marquis of Jingbian has been fighting the enemy for a long time, if you don't kill him If we change the lineup, I'm afraid the court will lose a good general, since A Yuan has a plan, he might as well give it a try."

Give it a try.

As soon as these four words were uttered, the young men were all happy, but unexpectedly the emperor's next words made them feel that there was a heavy burden on their shoulders.

"But if you lose, you will be punished by military law, and you will be killed without mercy." The emperor said.

Prime Minister Xie glanced at his son, and hurriedly saluted the emperor to plead for mercy, but he didn't want the emperor to raise his hand to stop him from speaking.

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan beside him and said, "Believe me, I can do it."

Xie Suiyun also said, "Just tell me what you want me to do."

Xiao Yuan had a well-thought-out plan, so naturally he wouldn't panic, after making eye contact with several people, he explained his deployment to the emperor, and after getting permission, these six people started to work with the emperor's handbook.

The evening arrived as scheduled, and the clouds in the sky illuminated by the setting sun were as bright as fire.

Jing Bianhou at the bottom of the city tower held a unique weapon, a scimitar, and exhausted himself after fighting a general in the Rongdi army, then withdrew his horse and returned to the bottom of the city tower, with blood in his eyes, tightly holding the scimitar in his hand, and shouted unyieldingly:

"There is a kind to come again!"

Rong Di's army adopted the wheel tactics, and they could take turns to challenge them, but Jing Bianhou had to fight alone.

Suddenly, the heavy city gate opened slowly, and the sound of horseshoes gradually came from far to near. Hou Jingbian turned his head in disbelief, and a young general in a silver and white robe and another general in a black armor and black robe came from the city. Come, stop at Jingbianhou's side.

Xu Yanqing said anxiously: "Father, father, are you okay? My son and King Linyang's soldiers and horses have come to rescue you together."

Jing Bianhou looked at Xie Suiyun who was wearing black armor beside him in surprise, and was a little puzzled: "King Linyang?"

Xie Suiyun held the Yanyue Saber, still with a cold face, he only glanced at Jing Bianhou, then reined in his horse and headed towards the general Rongdi who came to challenge.

"Who are you? Tell me your name. This general will not kill the unknown!" said the enemy general.

When Xie Suiyun raised his hand, the blade of Yanyue Dao pointed directly at the man, pinched the horse's belly, and rushed towards the enemy general. When he raised the blade in his hand, the enemy general's body was decapitated, and the blade was soaked in dark red blood. .

The body on the horseback fell to the ground slowly, and at the same time, Xie Suiyun's voice fell:

"Dead people don't deserve to know my name."

His ferocious wolf-like eyes, especially his killing momentum, made the soldiers of Rong and Di take a few steps back, and no one dared to shout.

At the same time, there were thunderous shouts in Hanyang Pass, dust and smoke rising from the hillside not far away, and a military flag blurred by the dust and smoke.

The battle flag was waving fiercely in the dust and smoke, and with the shouting that shook the sky, the soldiers outside the city also shouted loudly, boosting their morale.

Rong Di's soldiers and horses immediately stopped their flags and drums, and no one knew who shouted to withdraw their troops, and this Rong Di's soldiers and horses gradually retreated, and slowly disappeared outside Hanyang Pass.

Before Jingbian Hou could react, he saw Xu Yanqing exulting and said: "Father, father, did you see, we have won, we have won."

Marquis Jingbian stared at Xie Suiyun's back, then looked at Xu Yanqing beside him, and then said to withdraw the soldiers, and the neatly lined up soldiers retreated back to Hanyang Pass in an orderly manner.

In the lobby of the General Military Mansion, Xie Suiyun, Xu Yanqing and his son came with their heads held high. Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan, who went to create the illusion that the reinforcements had arrived, had also returned to the main hall.

The commander-in-chief of Hanyang Pass looked at the emperor sitting in the main hall, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your bravery in killing the enemy, you should be the number one warrior in my court."

"That's right, Mr. Xie is so brave that he raised his sword and dropped it, which really inspires the morale of the army."

"Young Master Xie is amazing."

…………

One after another in the main hall, they all praised Xie Suiyun. Although his expression was normal, Gu Junci always felt uncomfortable.

He turned his head slightly, looked at the silent Xiao Yuan beside him, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the humble officer feels that the merit of defeating the enemy today should be due to Second Young Master Xiao's plan to suspect soldiers."

The commander-in-chief of Hanyang Pass looked sideways at Gu Junci: "What are you? It's not your turn to speak. If Mr. Xie hadn't killed the enemy bravely today, I am afraid that the strategy of doubting soldiers will not be of much use."

Gu Junci sneered: "The words of the Chief Soldier mean that Mr. Xie alone is responsible for defeating the enemy today, right?"

"Of course!" said the chief soldier.

Gu Junci wanted to speak again, but Xiao Yuan stopped him with his hand, and then bowed to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, although we are retreating from the enemy today, the Rongdi people will not fully believe it. I am afraid that they will understand it after returning to the camp. Therefore, we must not be negligent tonight. Tomorrow will be a tough battle."
