Qian Xiaoxing looked at Sima Chuchu. Since it was the point she put forward, she said, "Chuchu, please tell me."

Sima Chuchu stood up and felt the pain of her lower body like a needle prick. She frowned and said, "If King Shi is killed, then the alliance between our two countries will be destroyed. On the contrary, Bai Xiao must be afraid that we will attack him and avenge King Shi. He will unite Lin to strengthen his strength for self-protection, so that the two countries may form an alliance, but our country will be isolated, so the situation is very unfavorable to our country."

After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong felt the crisis of the situation and asked, "What is the worst consequence?"

Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "Shi Guo, Lin Guo Alliance will deal with us. If we want to defend Shandu, then other cities will not be able to take care of it, and it may be invaded south of Lanjiang. The worst estimate at present is that Lin Guo will attack from Cangqiong Pass and Huju Pass. With our domestic troops, it will be difficult to defend it, so that we will even lose our base camp."

Sima Chuchu added: "Our army is only 100,000, while Lin army has 200,000 and Shi army more than 100,000, which is three times our strength. If they really join forces, we can only give up Shandu and go south of Lanjiang, otherwise we will not be able to take care of both the beginning and the end."

After finally capturing Shandu and seizing the land, he had to give up in vain. Lu Shengzhong was reluctant in his heart and said, "How come things are like this? It's so sudden! It seems that the only hope at present is that King Shi is not dead yet. We can rescue King Shi, and there may be some variables."

"I hope so too," Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said in a dilemma: "However, if Bai Xiao really attacked King Shi, there should be no future troubles. After all, King Shi's failure to die is still very threatening to him."

After hearing this, Shi Yeying burst into tears and said, "No, my prince will definitely be fine."

Qian Xiaoxing patted Shi Yeying and comforted him: "Whether it is bad or good, it depends on Yi Shuihan's information. It's too late. Everyone goes back to rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have something to do."

Lu Shengzhong left silently, and his mood was really ups and downs. He just had a wedding night, but after the joy, he heard such a bad situation and felt very complicated inside.

The next morning, everyone was anxiously waiting for the news about Yi Shuihan. Not long after, Yi Shuihan came back. Qian Xiaoxing led Yi Shuihan to a remote place and asked, "What's the situation of King Shi?"

Yi Shuihan's face was exhausted. It seemed that he had not slept all night. He said to Qian Xiaoxing: "King Shi has been arrested."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as King Shi was not dead, there was room for recovery. Shi Yeying asked anxiously, "Where are you locked up?"

Yi Shuihan thought for a while and said, "I'll draw a picture."

Qian Xiaoxing asked someone to bring paper and pen, Yi Shuihan drew the deployment of Shi Jun camp on white paper, drew a circle in the middle, and said, "King Shi is currently detained here, but there are heavy troops to guard it."

Shi Yeying replied happily: "My emperor is still alive, it's great. Last time I was caught in the Emerald City, I was also guarded by heavy troops. I've been rescued yet. Xiaoxing, you can definitely save my emperor."

Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "For King Shi and for ourselves, we must rescue him. I think he is still tough this time. The defense of the camp is easy to be broken. We have the Dark Knights, so we will attack and rescue King Shi."

Qian Xiaoxing is quite confident about the attack power of the Dark Knights. There is basically no problem in attacking the center of Shi Jun camp.

Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "Okay, it's not too late, I'll dispatch troops immediately."

Yi Shuihan asked worriedly: "Bai Xiao is strict in his control. Would it be too risky to attack like this?"

"Even if you take risks, you have to try it!" Qian Xiaoxing made up his mind.

The Si army assembled the Dark Knights as the main attack team, and also equipped the infantry brigade and the archer brigade as support. Qian Xiaoxing and Lu Shengzhong discussed the combat plan and opened the city gate to fight.

Yi Shuihan looked at the Si army dispatching troops and generals in sorrow, and had something to say but wanted to say it but stopped. Until the Si army's vanguard troops were about to leave the city gate, Yi Shuihan could no longer bear it and shouted, "Brother Qian, don't go! That's a trap!"

Qian Xiaoxing immediately called the army and asked Yi Shuihan: "Brother Yi, what's going on?"

Yi Shuihan was in a heavy mood and said sadly: "I went back to Shijun camp last night and was discovered by Bai Xiao. He learned that I was reporting to you, so he caught me. However, he learned that I would report to you today. If I don't go, it will definitely arouse your suspicion. So Bai Xiao threatened my family and asked me to send you fake information, hoping to set up a trap for Si Jun to drill."

Qian Xiaoxing took a breath after hearing this and said angrily: "Bai Xiao is really vicious!"

Yi Shuihan continued: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved by both loyalty and filial piety. Brother Qian forgives me for hiding it from you at the beginning. I really can't help it."

Qian Xiaoxing could naturally understand Yi Shuihan's mood and replied: "Then you told us Bai Xiao's tricks, what should your family do?"

Yi Shuihan said helplessly: "If I sacrifice my family and Si Jun, then my family is nothing. I can't betray Brother Qian and become Bai Xiao's accomplice!"

"What's the real situation of King Shi?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

Yi Shuihan looked around and didn't see Shi Yeying. He spoke, "King Shi has been killed by Bai Xiao!"

"Ah!" Although Qian Xiaoxing was mentally prepared, he was still very shocked and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"It's true!" Yi Shuihan shook his head and sighed, suddenly remembered and said, "Besides, Bai Xiao has started to contact Lin Guo. Bai Xiao is very scheming, you should not underestimate him, Brother Qian."

It seems that it is a blessing or a disaster, but it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. The worst thing happened. Qian Xiaoxing had to let the troops return to the city and immediately convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, Qian Xiaoxing analyzed the current situation to everyone. After King Shi was killed, a series of reactions were caused. At present, Shi Jun has been controlled by Bai Xiao, and in order to prevent Si Jun from revenge, Bai Xiao has contacted Lin Guo and wants to suppress Si Jun with the power of the two countries.

The current difficulty is whether to defend or retreat. Although the troops of Shi State and Lin State have added up to 300,000, there is still hope for the 100,000 Si army to defend Shandu, but they are afraid that they will only surround and not attack, and turn to the seven cities in Jiangnan and the original base of Si State after Cangqiong Pass. At that time, if the Si army is forced to rescue, the situation will not be optimistic.

Lu Shengzhong had been thinking for a long time and said helplessly: "Seventh brother, the old saying goes that if you keep the green mountains, you will not have to worry about the firewood. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only withdraw first, otherwise it will be like being trapped in the isolated island in Shan, which is very unfavorable."

Shi Yeying was very upset after hearing this and said, "My emperor brother was harmed by Bai Xiao. We don't want to avenge him, and we can only retreat. This is too cowardly, Xiaoxing, this is not true!"

"I don't want to avenge King Shi!" Qian Xiaoxing said with a sad and angry look on his face: "I can send troops to attack Bai Xiao now, and fight to the death with Bai Xiao, but don't forget that there is Lin Guo behind us. When we fight all, he will come to get the bargain again. Sister Ying, it's not that I don't avenge King Shi, I also have to think about my 100,000 soldiers. Besides, it's not too late for a gentleman to avenge him for ten years. Believe me, I will definitely give Bai Xiao's head to you!"

After hearing this, Shi Yeying could only cover her face and cry. The other generals had to give up when they heard that Shan had just occupied. Moreover, for the sake of safety, they would at least retreat to Jiangnan, and the eleven cities they had just captured would be lost. It can be said that this battle was in vain and they were very depressed.

Seeing everyone's disappointed eyes, Qian Xiaoxing encouraged: "Don't be sad. Today we have the ability to seize Shandu, so we can still fight back from now on. Now it's just a temporary strategic shift, which is not embarrassing."

After hearing this, the soldiers understood it very well and replied: "Chief of Staff, your decision is right, we will listen to you."

"Okay, then prepare food and supplies today, and we will withdraw from Shandu tomorrow." Qian Xiaoxing ordered.

After the meeting, Lu Shengzhong asked Qian Xiaoxing: "Seventh brother, we have captured more than 40,000 prisoners of Hu army. What should we do?"

Qian Xiaoxing replied: "Everyone will take it back first, I hope it will be used by me in the future. Hu Guo has completely withdrawn from history. I think they will submit to our army more easily."

A lot of gold, silver, treasures, antiques and jade were moved out of the Shandu Palace, and more than a dozen cars were loaded with them. Qian Xiaoxing looked at the huge palace and was about to leave after staying for a few days. He was really reluctant to let it go.

Sima Chuchu saw Qian Xiaoxing's reluctant eyes and said, "Last time I heard you met a fortune teller and said that you were in trouble in the future, it was really accurate."

When Sima Chuchu reminded, Qian Xiaoxing really remembered it and said, "Yes, the fortune teller said that there is a noble person to help me, but in Shiguo, how can I find it? Besides, it's too late now."

"Is it not this difficult thing to tell fortunes?" Sima Chuchu was also a little confused.

Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "This can only be believed half-believed, not all-believed. Destiny still depends on one's own hard work. Don't worry, Shandu City, I promise to come back within one year!"

"Oh, you took my body away, and you didn't even have a wedding for me. I thought I could have a grand wedding in Shandu, but it seemed that I had no place to stay." Sima Chuchu complained.

Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "Don't worry, my wife is married by the media, and you will not be able to get a wedding banquet. It's just that your father has news. If he can help me with advice at this time, how great would it be."

"Yes, it is logical that Hu State has been destroyed, and my father doesn't have to worry about Hu State's revenge and can show up. Why haven't you contacted me yet?" Sima Chuchu was also very puzzled.

Qian Xiaoxing said sadly: "Maybe your father and I can only become enemies in this life and cannot conquer the country together."

In the evening, the soldiers were still preparing food and supplies. Suddenly, a young general rode a horse and came to the palace quickly. After getting off the horse, he ran to Qian Xiaoxing and knelt down on one leg to report: "Chief of staff, something is not good. Shi Jun and Lin Jun outside the city have already left the camp and surrounded Shandu City!"

"Damn it!" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but curse and said, "They're really fast in unity. They can handle it in one day. They want to withdraw tomorrow, but they still took the lead!"

Lu Shengzhong also rushed over in a hurry and after understanding the situation, he said, "Seventh brother, we are surrounded, what should we do? Should we rush out now?"

Although Qian Xiaoxing was surprised that Lin Guo and Shi Guo were united at such a fast speed, the matter was really coming, and he was very calm and said, "Brother Zhong, don't worry. If we don't bring food and supplies, we will probably not be able to go back to Lanjiang. First, order the troops to guard the whole city with martial law and strictly guard the city gate, especially the east gate, where there are also the earthen mountains accumulated by the Lin army, which are very easy to be broken."

Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "Okay, then I will arrange the city's defense immediately!"
