Looking to Chang'an from the North

Guan Heng's request for help to Si Nanxian was stopped by their people on the way, and delivered to Zhong Qi's hands. Zhong Qi went to the place where it was supposed to go after checking that it was okay.

The content of the letter was exactly what they wanted, and there was no need to make any deletions or additions.

"Deputy General Zhong." Lin Chuhuai sat up straight after hearing the words.

The opportunity they've been waiting for has finally arrived.

"The end is here." Zhong Qi clasped his fists and bowed his head in response.

"Now you go to organize the army to arrange tactics, and let people pay close attention to the movements in Hankou City. As soon as Si Nanxian leaves, wait for a while and attack the city immediately."

What he wants is to be unprepared, attack unawares, and regain lost ground in one go.

"Yes, the last general takes orders." The opportunity to make a contribution is at hand, how can Zhong Qi not be excited.

Everything in Yuyang City is ready, and Hankou Si Nanxian is also earnestly deploying.

In order to prevent losing sight of the other, Si Nanxian only planned to bring [-] soldiers to rescue Qinguan this time, and the remaining [-] soldiers remained in Hankou.The chief general was absent, and all matters in the city should have been handed over to the deputy general, but Li Song's impulsiveness and irritability were really worrying, so Si Nanxian left Meng Lingsu to take charge of the overall situation.

"Lingsu, during the time when the king is away, you just need to guard against it until the day when the king returns to the city. No matter how provocative and humiliating Tian Yu is, you must not rashly open the city gate to fight."

Although I don't know how many troops there are in Yuyang City, the victory or defeat is often only a matter of thought, and it is most taboo to underestimate the enemy on the battlefield.

After Si Nanxian finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Li Song. Ling Su has always been a prudent person, and what he said just now was not so much an instruction to this person as an opportunity to beat Li Song.

Obviously, Lieutenant General Li, who has always been angry and couldn't control himself, knew what the prince meant, and immediately lowered his head in shame. He still remembers being captured because of carelessness before, and he will definitely not do it again this time. fooled.

Seeing that this person had already reflected on himself, Si Nanxian stopped talking and led his troops to Qinguan while it was dark.

He dared to personally lead the troops to Qinguan, firstly because of his trust in Meng Lingsu, and secondly, because he expected Lin Chuhuai to be a steady and victorious person, as can be seen from the previous few times, To put it more harshly, it is indecision, procrastination and unwillingness to attack the city. If it is said that it is afraid of hurting the innocent, it is the benevolence of a woman.

Such a person has only a very small possibility of taking the initiative to attack the city.

But it's a pity that he guessed wrong, or Chang Yun pretended too well.

The news of Si Nanxian's departure from the city could not be concealed from anyone even in the darkness of night. To everyone's surprise, this time Lin Chuhuai did not back down and did not adopt any indirect tactics, but decisively ordered Zhong Qi to bring 15 soldiers attacked the city.

He was very concerned about the safety of the soldiers and the common people, but Yun Ji persuaded him with a word.

He said: Blood and sacrifices cannot be avoided in any battle, and the generals will not choose to retreat because of fear of death, so Chang Yun, as decision makers, we have no right to make any decisions for them.When dealing with the common people, all we can do is to minimize the damage, and it will never end if we do not let our hands and feet go to war.

Chang Yun is still too kind to adapt to the cold-blooded and ruthless battlefield.

Although Lin Chuhuai is not an ambitious man who can show his ambitions on the battlefield, fortunately, he is a person who can listen to advice. He knows that Yunji was willing to listen to his words and not attack the city at the beginning because of his protection , not wanting to hurt the kindness in his nature, but he also understands that this kindness will only become a superfluous burden on the battlefield.

So he finally made up his mind to attack the city, he could not disappoint Yunji's trust, he wanted to win the city cleanly for him.

Over there, Li Song locked himself in the house alone after sending off the regent queen.

Meng Lingsu asked him what he was going to do, only to hear him reply, "Copy books to meditate, so that you won't be led by the nose so easily."

Hearing these words, Meng Lingsu shook his head again and again. Is this person copying books without knowing a few big characters?What's more, Jiangshan is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change. He doesn't expect his brother-in-law to restrain himself, he can only hope that he will put more effort into him.

But I don't know how many of their worries seem superfluous, the same trick is enough, who would repeat it several times.

After confirming that Si Nanxian had left, Zhong Qi immediately ordered to attack the city.

The city defense of Hankou is not as dangerous as Qinguan, and it is not difficult to attack without any spare effort. What's more, Si Nanxian has taken away many soldiers and horses, and the number of people attacking the city is far more than that of defending the city. It can be said that it has enough advantages.

Different from the small fights of the previous few times, the Xia family army who moved for real explained what is called a northern lion with an absolutely powerful posture. This battle was almost an overwhelming victory.

When Li Song was still training his xinxing in the room, the gate of the city had already been breached, and he was escorted directly in front of Zhong Qi.

"Hey, General Li, what a coincidence, it's only been a few days, and we meet again. Tsk, what a pity for the food and grass generously donated by the regent of your country." Zhong Qi's face was full of regret, but his words were full of regret It's full of sarcasm.

Li Song nearly spat in Zhong Qi's face with a bah, but thanks to Zhong Qi's sensitivity, he hid quickly.

It's really a wicked heart, if it wasn't for Yun Ji saying that killing prisoners of war is not allowed, or else he would never see the sunshine of the second day like this.

"Tie him up and take him down, and hand him over to Mr. Lin." This time, he can't control whether this person is going to die or live. If someone with integrity bumps him to death, maybe he can still respect this person. Tiao Hanzi gave him a generous burial.

All the soldiers in the city will not be killed if they surrender. Although they will not be recruited into the army, they will be spared after the war is over.

Li Song was arrested, so Meng Lingsu was naturally not immune, but this person had to be more knowledgeable, he neither struggled in vain nor abused wantonly but acted very calmly, making Zhong Qi give him a high look.

After completely occupying Hankou, Lin Chuhuai also entered the city, so Meng Lingsu was naturally handed over to him for interrogation.

This man surnamed Meng is Si Nanxian's confidant, and he may be able to dig out a lot of useful information.

Lin Chuhuai asked this person to sit down but he didn't allow him to untie his restraints. With the lessons learned from Si Nanxian last time, he couldn't help but be careless this time.

"Young Master Meng, I have admired your name for a long time." Lin Chuhuai's title gave him enough respect when he spoke, and Meng Lingsu did not treat him as a prisoner, as if they were equal.

"Lord Lin, you are being polite. Your name is because someone Meng has admired you for a long time." Meng Lingsu was not in the slightest anxiety about being captured.

Tianyu's sudden siege really caught him off guard, but the defeat and capture were just inferior skills, so there was nothing to be unconvinced about.

Meng Lingsu was also a well-known literati in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so his temperament naturally suited Lin Chuhuai's taste.

"Smart people don't speak in secret, so I should know what you want to ask Mr. Meng, but I don't know if you are willing to tell the truth." It would save time and effort to talk to smart people directly.

Meng Lingsu smiled lightly when he heard the words, and then replied, "Master Lin, you can ask whatever you want, and Meng will definitely know everything."

Those who know current affairs are heroes, he will never be as stubborn as Li Song.Although this seems very immodest, but if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood, and Hankou has already fallen, so there is no need to take another life for it.

It is naturally the best that this person is willing to cooperate, and it will save him from letting Zhong Qi use some bloody methods to force him to interrogate him.

"I don't know Mr. Meng, do you know why the Northern Qi monarch provoked the war this time?"

"Of course it's for the purpose of conquering the city." Meng Lingsu answered quickly, which was almost a standard answer.

Lin Chuhuai also realized that it was inappropriate for him to ask such a question, so he changed the way of asking, "Then which cities are your targets this time, or how many cities are enough to satisfy your monarch's ambitions."

Meng Lingsu bowed his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "To plunder the land, it is natural to occupy as many lands as possible, but this time His Majesty is looking at Hankou, Qinguan and Yuyang."

This statement is half-truth, what the Northern Qi monarch wants this time is not to expand the territory of the country, but simply wants to take Xia Yizheng's life to avenge Tuobahan.As for these three cities, they are actually just additional spoils. It doesn't matter if they are better or not.

"So what do you mean, when will you win these three cities and when will you withdraw your troops?"

"Naturally." Meng Lingsu answered simply.

But in fact, the day they withdrew their troops was not the day when they captured the three cities, but the day when Xia Yizheng died.It's just that His Majesty picked the wrong person this time and let Ye Lin lead the army. This battle might drag on forever and never end.

"What's your plan?" Lin Chuhuai asked tentatively and didn't expect him to be able to answer.

But Meng Lingsu laughed at himself, "The previous plan will be in vain after today, so why ask again."

The fall of Hankou really disrupted their rhythm, and the plans set up before had to be overthrown and start again.

Lin Chuhuai narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly, "I forgot, Zhong Qi, take Mr. Meng down to rest, and treat him well."

It is impossible to release him now, but it is not enough to let him live in a dungeon. Finding a comfortable cell is already Lin Chuhuai's greatest kindness.

Zhong Qi "invited" him down according to his words, and brought him back to Yuyang City to guard him strictly.

Hankou has been recaptured, so I can sleep peacefully tonight.

Xia Beixiu was still in Yuyang, while Hankou was guarded by Zhong Qi and Lin Chuhuai. All the guards in the city were replaced by people they trusted, and the grain and grass were guarded by Zhong Qi himself. Such a curse.

Si Nanxian rushed to the foot of Qinguan City, and when he ordered people to shout loudly to let the city gate open, a feathered arrow was passing by his pocket, straight into the sand, and his tail feathers trembled slightly.

Si Nanxian stared at the arrow and squinted his eyes, and when he looked up again, he realized that the man standing in the city holding the bow and shooting the arrow was not Guan Heng, but clearly Xia Yizheng who was rumored to be too sick to get out of bed.

"Prince Regent, what a coincidence, someone has just captured this city, and I'm afraid no one will be able to open the city gate for you." Xia Yizheng put down his raised bow and leaned gently against the city wall.

On the flag on the tower, the word on it was changed from Guan to Xia. Everything indicated that this city had belonged to Tian Yu again.

Two hours ago, Xia Yizheng ordered to attack the city. Although Guan Heng was unwilling to leave the city to surrender and was still stubbornly resisting, the situation was over, and Tianyu's army broke through the city gate almost effortlessly.

"Where's Guan Heng?" Si Nanxian accepted the fact almost instantly.

Xia Yizheng didn't answer when he heard the words, and the expression on his face froze.
