The sun was shining brightly and the hot weather was unbearable not only for people, but also for horses.It kept spinning in situ, neighing bursts, and the mood of wanting to escape can be felt across species.

Layers of sweat broke out on the soldiers' heads, but the military order was like a mountain, and the general said to keep the formation, so he had to stand still.Not only the soldiers, but Xiao Jingong and others with canopies on their heads also sweated from their foreheads.

"It's almost time, why don't you come to ask for help? Helian Muzhen won't change his mind, right?" Chen Yunjian couldn't help asking.

Lin Xiu was also a little uncertain, and it had been overtime for a while.Hot weather makes people impetuous.She looked into the distance, but there was still no sign, and she was immediately disappointed.But out of trust in Helian Muzhen, he still insisted: "Wait a little longer, it should be soon."

As soon as the voice fell, a cloud of dust and smoke rose in the distance, as if someone was coming on horseback.

"Coming?" Xiao Jingong asked uncertainly when he saw the dust and smoke.

Chen Yunjian hurriedly got up and looked around, the distance was getting closer and closer, and everyone finally saw clearly that someone was coming on horseback.

"It should be, it is the costume of the barbarian!"

Xiao Jingong immediately ordered: "Hurry up, go and get the person over, don't let anyone stop you."

The guards around got the order and immediately drove forward.

Xiao Shu'an and Lin Xiu looked at each other, and they both took a breath and nodded.The main event is coming.

Soon, the soldiers of Manrong were led to Xiao Jingong.The news he brought was exactly the same as what Lin Xiu had discussed with Helian Muzhen.

The barbarians in the north were in a hurry and asked Zhou Jun for support.

The expected information, but Xiao Jingong and the others still had to persist in performing their tricks well.Pretending to be hesitant, seems to be in a dilemma.As agreed, Lin Xiu took the lead to suggest that His Majesty support the Man Rong because of the consideration of old friendship.

Xiao Jingong was still undecided, and looked at Chen Yunjian and Xiao Shu'an with questioning eyes.Xiao Shu'an and Helian Muzhen were at odds, and she wished she would die in battle, but she knew very well that national affairs should not be acted upon by one's will, so she pretended to avoid it.

Only Chen Yunjian, pretending to be the most objective person, weighed the pros and cons and said: "Now that the three countries are jointly attacking Wu, the interests are related, and the barbarians cannot be abandoned. Otherwise, when the Wu army in the north turns back, the Zhou army will also die. It's about Qian Jian now." I don’t want to go out of the city. Why don’t I send a large army to support the barbarians, and leave the female soldiers to surround Qian Jian again. Qian Jian is stable and dare not go out of the city to fight.”

"But what if Qian Jian takes the risk to attack?" Xiao Jingong was still worried.

"Then let the female soldiers stay and make an ambush beforehand. As long as Qian Jian leads the troops out of the city, they will shoot arrows. Most of the female soldiers are archers. They are good at long-distance combat." Lin Xiu put forward her own suggestion.

Chen Yunjian also hesitated: "The female soldier has never taken on such a difficult task, can I do it?"

Xiao Shu'an refused to accept it and said: "What's wrong? Qian Jian wants to defend the city, so he dare not come out easily. How can I have [-] female soldiers who can't beat Qian Jian, besides, what are you afraid of when I sit in the battle?"

Xiao Jingong said: "How about we divide our troops into two groups, and send half of our troops to support the barbarians, and leave the rest here."

"Then it's better not to support." Lin Xiu said directly: "The troops sent are not enough, and the Zhou army may also be trapped. Now that the barbarians are living and dying, the situation must be critical and there is no spare power. If we can't Sending a large army over, it is better not to go, at least to ensure survival. Half of one side, neither side can guarantee victory, what should we do if we lose all?"

What Lin Xiu said was not without reason.Xiao Jingong fell into a dilemma again.Looking at the barbarian soldiers who cast eager eyes on him in front of him, he showed that he couldn't bear it.

"Both of you think we should support?"

Both Lin Xiu and Chen Yunjian nodded.Xiao Jingong looked at Xiao Shu'an again, this time Xiao Shu'an had a rare sense of righteousness, and said uncomfortably: "As long as you support, please support, it will be fine with me here."

Lin Xiudao: "I'll stay with you too. Only when I stay with Shu An can I feel at ease. If you don't let me go there, I have no intention of fighting, and I always have concerns in my heart."

With such an arrangement, Xiao Jingong is quite satisfied, after all, she is his own sister, and he can feel at ease with Lin Xiu as a military advisor.

"Then arrange it like this. The large force followed me and General Chen to the north to support Hu Jun. The Guoshi and Shu An led the female soldiers to surround Changping here. We will come back as soon as possible to join you. When you come back, you can retreat by yourself. Safety first, attack Changping, we have plenty of opportunities." Xiao Jingong arranged carefully.

Lin Xiu and Xiao Shuan nodded obediently.The matter was urgent, and Chen Yunjian immediately went to order soldiers and prepare to go.In less than a quarter of an hour, the originally crowded land suddenly lightened a lot.The dense field of vision was replaced by sparse figures.

"Why did the Zhou army withdraw so many people?" The soldiers watching on the city wall immediately realized something was wrong.

Not long after, Qian Jian learned that Zhou Jun had gone to the north of Zhao State to support the besieged barbarians.

"This Xiao Jingong will be so kind? To support the barbarians? I didn't know that they have such a deep friendship. There are only [-] female soldiers left here to besiege us. Why do I feel that this is a trap?" Qian Jian talked with him in the room. His staff discussed it.

"However, according to the military newspaper in the north, the barbarians are indeed under siege, and they have no choice but to ask Zhou for help," said the staff member.

Qian Jian continued to retort: ​​"But as far as I know, the barbarians have always been brave and good at fighting. When your Majesty conquered the barbarians, they were trapped in Mount Ai for seven days. This time they brought an army of 10,000+, how could they be defeated by the 5 people in the north?" Siege. Could it be a joint design by Man Rong and Zhou Guo?"

Qian Jian now refers to Zhao Cong as His Majesty.The people present couldn't help but sneered in their hearts when they heard this, and they were lost for a moment.

No one answered his question, Qian Jian was a little displeased: "Ask you? Why don't you speak?"

Everyone paid attention, and someone said: "I think the general's guess is unlikely. The military newspaper said that Helian Ding's favorite son, He Liantao, led 5 people to be besieged by our army. In the end, only He Liantao took the lead. They fled with a few relatives. It’s hard to tell the truth about other things, but the loss of [-] soldiers is real, and the barbarians wouldn’t have sacrificed so much in order to co-operate with Zhou Guo to devise a scam, right?”

Qian Jian rubbed his chin, furrowing his brows deeply.He always felt that something was wrong, but what his subordinates said was indeed reasonable. It was impossible for the barbarians to make such a big sacrifice in order to set up a situation.So it must be true that the barbarians asked for help.

"Then is it possible that the Zhou army is only pretending to support, but will not actually support? Just leave [-] female soldiers as an introduction to lure us out of the city to fight?"

Someone said: "It's not impossible, but I prefer real support. The detailed work we arranged for Zhou Jun described the situation when Xiao Jingong made the decision at that time. It was Lin Xiu who proposed it out of the old relationship with Helian Muzhen. Yes. It is said that the princess Xiao Shuan was not very happy at that time."

Another person said: "Yes, the friendship between Lin Xiu and Helian Muzhen is not shallow. At that time, Helian Muzhen detained Lin Xiu in the barbarian army, but he was going to be a face-to-face leader. Later, he was forced to send him away due to the alliance between the two countries. I came back, but the spies reported a few days ago that Lin Xiu went to Helian Muzhen's camp alone. After staying for a long time, as far as I can see, the relationship between the two is not simple."

"The two of them are alone in the camp?" Qian Jian couldn't believe it. After all, in his perception, Lin Xiu had a deep affection for Xiao Shu'an, and he didn't even want the city or his life for her.A real infatuation.

But his subordinates were very sure: "It's absolutely true! At that time, Lin Xiu took her confidant Lin Zhong with her. But she left Lin Zhong out of the tent and never let him in. General, Lin Xiu doesn't care about anything. Don't hide it from Lin Zhong, I heard that they are brothers, so why don't you let Lin Zhong in?"

Qian Jian also fell into deep thought after his subordinates described it vividly. Could it be that all men are really fickle?Can Lin Xiu love two people at the same time?But after thinking about it, Qian Jian can understand, after all, he is also a man, although he loves his regular wife, but he also loves his concubine very much.Indeed, there is no conflict between doting on other women and loving one's wife deeply.Thinking about it this way, Qian Jian felt that Lin Xiu was a little more popular. Before, she always felt that she was immortal and not like ordinary people.Now it seems that there is still no escape from the world of mortals.

"Then what you mean is that Manrong really asked for help. There are only [-] female soldiers of the Zhou army outside the city?"

Everyone didn't speak, and they didn't want to be the first to affirm this guess.If this is not the case, it is not to be blamed.Advice is advice, analysis is analysis.They don't want to make judgments.

Qian Jian saw that one and two were afraid to speak, how could he not understand their thoughts.Suddenly upset and wanted to hit someone.Thinking about the past, when Zhao Guo was still prosperous, he said what he said, and his subordinates also actively spoke out and performed positively. When did it become like this, one or two are afraid of trouble.For fear of being punished!

"Okay, let's do it like this. Go back!" Qian Jian waved away the crowd impatiently.

People go to the empty room.Qian Jian was the only one left in the lively room just now, so he couldn't be happier.For some reason, he has become more and more upset recently, and it is always easy to think of the past, his mentor, and the second prince who he personally killed.Thinking of His Majesty Zhao Cong, he even sometimes misses his deadly enemy, old man Gongsun!

In the past, although everyone was fighting each other in court, at least it was all for the good of Zhao Guo.No matter what, the heart is not broken.No matter who wins or loses, they are still unanimous in front of outsiders.

If it wasn't...if King Wu hadn't deceived himself with beauties, and he just happened to be dismissed, how could things have come to this point?Qian Jian even felt very impulsive to go to the palace to meet the old emperor Zhao Cong, and the old man Gongsun who was still serving by his side.

It's just, how can I have the face to see them again?

"Come here!"

"General, what are your orders?"

"Pass me an order to keep a close eye on the movement of Zhou's female soldiers outside the city. Without an order, no one is allowed to leave the city without permission, and no one is allowed to open the city gate."

"promise!"

Whether it's true or not, don't worry.Just wait a day and watch first.If there are only [-] female soldiers left, then Qian Jian is not a coward, so why not go out of the city to fight?Now that he is in a difficult situation, he can only take one step at a time, and he can't make a wrong step.I can no longer be as high-spirited and confident as before.

Why!It would be great if the mentor is still around, I wonder if he will forgive me?
