"That's right." Xue Changxiong also frowned and said after hearing this. "It's not that we can't talk, but as the saying goes, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. Now the first arrow has been shot. In any case, it is time to wait for the quiver to be empty.

Let’s speak after seeing the results clearly.”

"So just ignore it." Bai Hengqiu was calm and composed. "Besides, Old Feng Jiu is a person who knows the pros and cons in front of the emperor. Such words are just because he has his own character. To make a statement, it is not necessary to do so.

How, otherwise why would it be just a letter, just not come at all...and there is nothing he can do."

At the end of the sentence, he was a bit domineering.

"Then Feng Gong can arrive with the main force early tomorrow morning. Do you want him to attach a annex camp or participate in the siege?" After listening carefully to the three words, Li Ding just raised his sword and spoke. It was also the first time he took the initiative to speak this afternoon.

"Indeed." Xue Changxiong frowned when he heard this. "It's not just about Lao Feng's personal attitude. He and the soldiers from the three northwest counties who came this time also came from mixed sources and were weak in combat strength... If you ask me, just don't let him.

When he comes, he only allows them to stay in the Jingcheng area, which can be regarded as taking care of his face."

Jingcheng, not even Zongcheng, was forty or fifty miles away from the battlefield.

"What did Li Silang think?" Bai Hengqiu was thoughtful, but then looked at Li Ding.

"Participate in the siege, and give him a corner of the position... If he comes from the northwest, just give him the northwest part of the position." Li Ding did not think about it, as if he had already thought about it. "It's like Mr. Xue came from the northeast, and the north and the

The defense in the northeast belongs to Duke Xue, so don't do anything."

Not to mention others, only the few generals who climbed onto the civil platform to build a watchtower to observe the situation, including Dou Qi who had just come up, all woke up instantly.

"Okay." Duan Wei came to his senses and smiled first. "Then let Lao Feng do it step by step... Young people are quick to respond."

Xue Changxiong also nodded.

Bai Hengqiu glanced at Li Ding, whose expression remained unchanged, and couldn't help but laugh: "It is true that Li Silang has thought carefully, which is better than flooding."

The reason is very simple. The first is political unity, and the second is to set up a trap... The so-called knowing Feng Wuyi's political stance and knowing that this army is the weakest will make you enlightened and you can take advantage of Feng Wuyi's plan.

Place a pocket behind the defense area, or use the shelter of the barracks to make preparations for placing the pocket. If the army really wants to break through and escape from here, it will be a dead end.

However, if it is designed in this way, it seems that there is no need to implement the previous flooding strategy, because flooding is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Can Feng Wuyi make some arrangements?" Returning to the observation deck of the military camp, Zhou Xingfan looked at the enemy camp in the distance, and he really asked this question.

"If we really need to dredge things up, we have to do it before he leaves. Now that he's here, what's the point of dredging it among the army?" Xu Shiying said disapprovingly.

"What Xiao Zhou means is that if it is cleared, it can be a place to go when necessary." Niu Da said seriously.

"Even if he agrees, do you dare to go?" Wang Shuyong also disagreed. "With so many soldiers and generals, once we have evil intentions, we will fall into a trap."

"When it's really a last resort, why not give it a try?" Xu Shiren discussed seriously.

"Instead of counting on Feng Wuyi, it is better to count on reinforcements from the north." Jia Yue rarely spoke. "Why are these people coming? The original intention is to talk about the internal disputes in Hebei, which have a real enemy-enemy relationship with us. Although it is with Bai Hengqiu

They are not of the same mind, but they are of the same mind as us? Only in Beidi, there are only benefits and no harm to us, so we can count on..."

"Can the Northland make it in time?" Xu Shiying raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If Manager Xie is clear about it, Feng Wuyi, Luo Shu, and Xue Changxiong can just click and go to Beidi immediately, plus the people Bai Peixiong sent there before, it will be enough." Jia Yue replied seriously.

"How many days does it take to calculate enough?" Xu Shiying asked seriously. "There are still ten days until the food is exhausted. Is this the date?"

"almost."

"How many soldiers can come?"

"How many soldiers can come at this time?" Jia Yue asked rhetorically. "The key is to have a supporting force, the White Wolf Guard and the Tieshan Guard concentrate their elite troops. A thousand men each will be enough..."

"If we talk about support, it's not like we don't have any. There are dozens of battalions outside! There are also many elites!" Wang Shuyong said angrily.

"But the officers and soldiers all know that, and they are keeping a close eye on it, but they don't know about Beidi's support."

"That makes some sense." Xu Shiying nodded and looked at Zhang Xing again. "Chief, when are we planning to break out?"

"Of course it depends on the situation." Zhang Xing also glanced at the other party. "When the other party's situation is the most difficult, or when we have good conditions, we can leave as soon as possible. For example, when reinforcements from the North are coming, it will naturally be a

Conditions, it would be better if the other side withdraws its troops...Are you really prepared to starve to death here?"

Xu Shiying nodded, relieved for a moment, and answered again: "They obviously want to build a strong camp and block the water, and if we want to break out at any time, we don't have to hold on... Look at how hard they worked during the day,

How about I lead my troops to dig camp tonight?"

Digging a camp is a very common tactic. When one party travels a long way to attack, or lacks followers and auxiliaries, or lacks time, the camp will be perfunctory, which in turn makes attacking the camp at night an advantage.

This kind of thing was particularly prominent in the previous hundreds of years of confrontation between the north and the south, because it was a rare and effective way for the south to deal with the northern cavalry attack tactics.

Of course, Xu Shiying's digging camp here is literally digging a camp, which means to interrupt the opponent's project and exhaust the opponent.

Of course there is nothing to say.

"Be careful," Zhang Xing warned. "Arrange your retreat. If you don't succeed, retreat immediately. Troops are precious. If your battalion is destroyed, we may not be able to raise the main formation."

"I know." Xu Shiying nodded immediately. "I worked so hard in the past few days just to protect this. If I die, there will be Wu Dalang to replace me, but if the soldiers and horses are gone, they will be gone... Otherwise, use as few practitioners as possible.

?Come back after digging."

"It's not impossible, but in this case, you still have to direct it yourself?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.

Xu Shiying was speechless, but after a moment, he retreated inexplicably: "Why don't we just go? I'm afraid it would be inappropriate not to give instructions."

"Why don't you go?!" At this moment, Xiong Bonan, who had not intervened to discuss the situation before, suddenly spoke. "Yesterday I made it clear that we had won before, and now we cannot lose momentum and take the initiative to attack.

, it’s a shock! Just go, I’ll back you up! I can bring you back no matter what!”

"I'm going to raid the formation too." Wu Jingfeng, who was also speechless, also expressed his stance.

Xu Shiying was stunned for a moment, and forced herself not to look at Zhang Xing, but nodded immediately.

The matter was settled.

In this way, on the evening of that day, Xu Shiying carefully arranged and waited until late at night. Zhang Xing also led a group of Chinese army confidants to inspect the entire camp and returned to the Chinese army's tent... Theoretically, in order to start the battle at any time, he would not

He should leave the Chinese Army.

As soon as he returned to the Chinese army's tent, he had just brought the bowls and had not eaten yet, when a man came to visit him.

"What is this?" Zhang Xing looked at the things on the bed in surprise.

"Is this the first time that Third Brother has seen this thing?" Zhou Xingfan was equally surprised. "I have it. I don't believe that others don't have it."

"That's not what I meant." Zhang Xing also laughed. "Others have it, but I didn't expect you to have it too..."

"Duan Weixin said in his letter that he was also anti-Wei. There was no fundamental opposition between us, including Cao Lin, who was also dealt with by Bai Hengqiu. Instead, we were all on the same side. Bai Hengqiu said in his letter that when Ping Chen was still with my father,

We have a close relationship with Lai Gong. We are all ministers of the same palace, and we are familiar with each other. They regard me as their nephew..." Xiao Zhou said thoughtfully. "The principles seem to be correct, and there is nothing to refute... But I don't know.

Why, even if I put aside my loyalty and morality, I still feel like something is wrong."

"There could be something wrong. It's just that private grudges gradually merged into public grudges. Looking back for a moment, I couldn't tell the difference between public and private, and I was a little confused." Zhang Xing still didn't accept the envelope, but just lowered his head to eat sorghum rice. "After all, everything is the same.

It started out as a personal feud from the beginning."

Under the swaying lights, Zhou Xingfan remained silent. He was only in his early twenties this year and already had several scars on his face. His skin was dark and he looked completely different from the aristocratic young man who followed Zhang Xing in Jing'an Taichung.

.

After pausing for a moment, he put aside all his thoughts and asked seriously: "Who else, besides me, has sent a letter of persuasion to surrender to Third Brother?"

Besides you, there are Wu Dalang, Xu Shiren, Niu Da, Wang Wulang and Cui Erlang." Zhang Xingyi said.

Xiao Zhou nodded: "That means King Xiongtian doesn't expect it, and Wang Xiongdan and Ma Wei don't know each other, right?"

Zhang Xing thought for a while and added: "Xu Dalang doesn't have it either, so he shouldn't expect it."

Zhou Xingfan narrowed his eyes: "Why?"

"It was only when we met that day that we realized that Xu Shiying was a talented person, but also powerful and cunning. Based on the past, we knew that this person was loyal and loyal. In addition, his brother-in-law, Xiong Bonan, was mighty and imposing. The two of them were actually Zhang Xing.

I'm so brave, and I really don't want to humiliate myself." In the Chinese army's tent, the lights were brightly lit, and during the banquet, Bai Hengqiu raised his glass and explained to the generals, "I didn't expect this.

That's just the two of them. The rest of us, Wu Dalang and Zhou Xiaozi, were also obsessed and didn't respond at all... Zhang Xing has the skills to control people and has heroes to help him. It seems that we have lost our grace. Fortunately, we are now completely

It’s better to put your mind outside the siege.”

Except for Li Ding, who looked a little strange unconsciously, the rest of the people, from Xue Changxiong to Duan Wei below, all nodded in disbelief.

After the banquet, more than an hour later, around midnight, Xu Shiying and Xu Dalang, wearing only leather armor and a short sword, finally walked out of the camp. He looked at the crescent moons above his head, and then looked around: "Everything is ready.

?"

The leader of the close personal guard came forward to report: "Five hundred people, all wearing the official and military uniforms collected from the last war, and carrying hoes..."

"No need for a hoe." Xu Dalang was startled for a moment and then gave the order seriously. "There must be no shortage of tools in the enemy's camp. We just pretend to be the enemy's soldiers and horses and go there. Of course there are tools... But if we don't, we go in, walk around, and shout before leaving.
