They vaguely feel that even if someone cleans up the old mountains and rivers in the future, clan politics will not be eliminated for a while, and they will take advantage of this troubled time to climb to new heights.

Chen Hou, the nominal overlord of Luonan and Yuzhou, seems to have acquiesced in their local status?

There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Soon, several sergeants came over dragging a messenger.

"Your Majesty, this is Wang Ru's messenger." After Tang Jian led people to search him, he invited the messenger over and reported.

Shao Xun looked at the messenger.

A typical middle-aged scholar, looking at Shao Xun timidly but energetically.

Shao Xun was too lazy to pay attention to him, took the letter and read it.

After reading it, he asked: "Why did you deliver the letter for Wang Ru?"

"Everyone in the family is obsessed with him and has no choice but to listen to him," the messenger replied.

"Wang Ru is a figure in one party after all, but he is trapped in an isolated city and does not dare to go to war. Why?"

"The general has been victorious in consecutive battles. He is unmatched in bravery and his momentum is heard far and near." The messenger replied: "Although there are many soldiers, their hearts are mixed and inconsistent. Therefore, Yingcheng defends itself until the general retreats."

Shao Xun laughed and said, "Wang Ru is upright and not afraid of me knowing the inside story."

The messenger bowed his head and said yes.

"Bring me a message to Wang Ru." Shao Xun said.

"General, please speak."

"When I defeat the Xiongnu, I will definitely--" Shao Xun rubbed the hilt of the knife at his waist and said: "It is a good idea to carry out a journey of loyalty and righteousness, lead the people who are pleasing to the people, beat the drum to ask the guilty, and march southward, Xiangyang Gucheng.

One strike from the soldiers?"

"The imperial court sent back the refugees, and they rebelled out of anger. It was excusable when things happened. If the king knew his situation and surrendered, I would ensure that nothing happened to him." Shao Xun continued: "Bring back the original words."

"Yes," the messenger replied.

After the messenger left, Shao Xun waited in Deng County for two days.

During this period, scouts came to report that Wang Ru had almost given up all his peripheral strongholds and retreated to Fancheng and Xiangyang, without any intention of attacking.

Shao Xun sighed, knowing that this guy was determined not to get out.

Although there isn't much food and grass in the city, it shouldn't be a big problem if we hold on for a month or two. There are also a large number of Kansai Party members following us, and we are also sitting on a fortified city, so it is not easy to capture.

There is no time to waste with him, so we can only withdraw our troops first.
