The night was like ink, and in the military tent in the Jiang Chu camp, a group of important generals sat by the fire with heavy faces, discussing what to do next.

"I didn't expect those barbarians to be so strong, let's retreat first and wait for support. "The first to speak was Sun Quan, this initiative was the first he proposed, I wanted to take the opportunity to make some benefits, but I didn't expect to lose the army, and in the face of the barbarian king Meng Erke has no temper at all, but this Sun Quan is also a character, after seeing the strength of the Xishu coalition army, he knows its threat to Jiangnan, not only did not plan to withdraw from the alliance but chose to fight the enemy with Jiang Chu, which is also quite far-sighted.

On the other hand, Chu Tianjiao's expression was serious and he didn't say a word, the biggest loss in this encounter was Jiang Chu, although he got a fierce general Zhao Yilong and killed Xie Zhen Jiebao, but he also lost a few generals, especially Sima Shao.

Originally, Chu Tianjiao and the Sima family did not deal with each other, and now the Sima family will definitely take revenge on themselves, although Chu Tianjiao and Liu Xinghe have been trying to weaken the strength of the Sima family, but it is definitely not this way, if it is like this, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in the DPRK and China.

Liu Xinghe on the side looked at Chu Tianjiao with a sad face and felt ashamed, after all, this time he took the initiative to attack after listening to his own advice, thinking about it again and again, Liu Xinghe proposed to Chu Tianjiao: "Your Highness, the art of war: those who can win, attack it, and those who can't win, defend it." Now the morale of the Xishu army is high, although General Zhao defeated the barbarian king and pulled back a game, we are still not the enemy's opponent. Now that we have been out for a few days, presumably the defense of Linjiang City has been deployed, so let's go back to the city to defend it first.

"But ......

" Seeing that Chu Tianjiao was still hesitant, Liu Xinghe further said: "Your Highness, this expedition was caused by my careless thinking that caused General Sima to die, and I ask Your Highness to punish him."

Chu Tianjiao was shocked when he heard this, he grabbed Liu Xinghe's hands and said: "Brother Xinghe, why did you say this, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, how can you predict it, as for that Sima Shao, he is meritorious and his skills are not as good as others, which led to his death and what does Qing have to do, since you suggested that our army should be defended, then I will retreat." So

overnight, all the Jiangchu coalition forces retreated, leaving only an empty camp.

The next day, looking at the chaotic barracks all over the ground, the barbarian king Meng Erke was furious: "Damn, a group of cowards, they actually ran away." "

Since seeing the strength of the ghost king, the entire Xishu coalition army is looking at the barbarian king, and the Shu general on the side who saw his anger said flatteringly: "The king doesn't have to be angry, the Jiangchu coalition army must be afraid of the king so they evacuated overnight, and now they must be preparing to defend Linjiang City, we now directly raise troops to kill the past, the king has no opponent to fight."

Meng Erke was very useful when he heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed three times and said: "That's right, I'll raise troops now, small ones, send troops to Linjiang City." With

the order of the barbarian king, hundreds of thousands of troops marched to Linjiang City, and I don't know how many soldiers will be buried under the ancient city walls.

......

In the summer of July, the blue sky is like a fireball of the sun, the clouds seem to be burned by the sun, disappear without a trace, the sun scorches the earth, the hot air is interspersed with a thick pungent smell of blood, I don't know how many warriors spill their blood on the field, dyed eternal in this moment of light.

The Jiangchu coalition army and the Xishu army have been facing each other under the Linjiang city for several months, at this time the spring has already gone to summer, the Xishu army has attacked the city many times in the past few months, but the Linjiang city wall is thick, the Xishu army has no siege equipment and is helpless, each attack only leaves a corpse in vain.

It's no wonder that Xishu, in fact, Xishu has already prepared siege equipment, but these siege equipment is too huge, plus the spring is warm and the snow melts, the land is muddy and not easy to move, and it is to let part of the army with siege equipment first, the army followed, and it was Ah Huinan who was responsible for escorting these siege equipment.

On that day, Ah Huinan led the troops to the river first, but because the bridge was broken, he could only camp in situ, but Liu Xinghe copied the back road and caused the whole army to be annihilated, most of the siege equipment in the camp was burned, and a small part became the defensive weapon of Linjiang City, Xishu also thought about remanufacturing siege weapons from local materials, but Liu Xinghe adopted the tactics of clearing the wilderness, and cut down the surrounding mountains and forests long before the arrival of the Xishu army, and the Xishu army had no choice but to besiege the city, but there was still no progress in the past few months.

On the other hand, although the Jiang-Chu coalition army relied on the city defense and the materials in the city to repel the Xishu army many times, Chu Tianjiao and Liu Xinghe did not have a good time.

First of all, in Jiang and Chu, since the death of Sima Shao, the Sima family has completely hated Chu Wujiao and Liu Xinghe, and in the past few months, there have been people who have impeached Chu Tianjiao and Liu Xinghe for their useless sabotage.

Secondly, there are also problems in the three countries south of the Yangtze River. It is reported that Western Shu sent envoys into Wu to promise never to attack Jiangnan and threaten with force, although Wu did not betray the alliance, but no longer sent additional support to the coalition forces.

In addition, Linjiang City is also full of crises, after Sima Shao's death, his Changsheng army was temporarily absorbed by Chu Tianjiao, but those Changsheng troops only wanted to avenge Sima Shao and asked to fight many times but were vetoed by Chu Tianjiao and Liu Xinghe, so Changshengjun hated the two and almost mutinied.

Now that the government and the opposition are in crisis, Chu Tianjiao urgently needs a big victory to stabilize the situation.

"What's the matter, are you worried about the war again?

In the military tent, Liu Xinghe patted Chu Tianjiao, who was full of sadness, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you with me."

Chu Tianjiao looked at the dusty man in front of him, for a few months, if he hadn't been by his side to give advice on the city defense, he might not have been able to hold it for a long time, Chu Tianjiao chuckled and said: "No, now that the enemy is outnumbered, it is already invincible to be able to hold the city."

Then Chu Tianjiao's expression was gloomy: "It's just that now the people in the DPRK and China can't complain about me, and my father also hopes that I can send troops to solve this war as soon as possible, after all, with the current situation of our country, I really can't fight a protracted war, and Sima Li also wants to negotiate peace again on this ground, and the countries in Jiangnan are also very dissatisfied because they haven't reaped the benefits, although they have not withdrawn from the alliance on the surface, they will no longer send reinforcements." In addition, those victorious troops in the city are also dissatisfied with me not going to fight, they have always wanted to avenge Sima Shao, but I maybe, just yesterday they dared to gather troops to apply for battle, although I pressed down, but over time

, I am afraid of ......." "Are you afraid that the mutiny of the victorious army will be unfavorable to you?"

"No, I am the prince, and those victorious troops dare not do anything to me no matter how bold and reckless they are." Chu Tianjiao shook his head, looked at Liu Xinghe with a worried face, and said, "What I'm worried about is that they are not good for you. "

Yesterday, those officers and soldiers of the victorious army gathered in front of me and said that you want to take advantage of the merits and seize power, so you are unwilling to send troops to avenge Sima Shao, saying that I listened to your slanderous words and chilled the hearts of all the soldiers and soldiers, and also said that you relied on rhetoric and secret arrows to hurt people to win the position of joining the army, and they even... Even have to clear the king's side. Speaking of this, Chu Tianjiao grabbed Liu Xinghe's hand and said sincerely: "Brother Xinghe, you are my rare confidant, you think I have done enough for Jiang Chuguo, I can't repay it, since the matter has come to this, I don't want to bother you, this is my token, you take it out of the city tonight, let me live and die with Linjiang City."

Looking at Chu Tianjiao's sincere expression, Liu Xinghe smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about my friend, as a knight, how can you escape from the battle, rest assured that I will always be by your side until our ideals are realized." As for those victorious troops, hmph, even if Sima Shao I don't pay attention to them, they don't have to worry, okay, I'll go to the front line first, I heard the spies say that today's Xishu army seems to be a little unusual, I'm going to take a look.

After that, Liu Xinghe winked at Chu Tianjiao and let him relax, just like in the palace of Wu State, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Liu Xinghe turned around and left.

Looking at Liu Xinghe's back as he walked farther and farther, Chu Tianjiao's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of fierceness: "Don't worry, my dear friend, I will definitely protect you, if they really dare to make a move on you, then even if they are notorious from now on, I will erase the Sima family and Chang Shengjun from this world, and I will definitely not let the people around me be implicated because of me again, absolutely!"

.......

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a group of generals exchanged heads with each other, they were either confused, nervous, or excited, and their expressions were different.

Chu Tianjiao, who was the commander-in-chief, was looking at the sand table without saying a word, thinking, when there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Liu Xinghe and Zhao Yilong walked in. Seeing the arrival of the two, a group of generals hurriedly surrounded them, and Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Liu joins the army, has Xishu really withdrawn?" "

Well, I went to the Shu army camp with General Zhao just now, and they have indeed evacuated, and they seem to have withdrawn very quickly, and there are still many supplies in the camp that have not had time to be taken." "

The first to discover the abnormality of the Shu army was Zhao Yilong, in the past few months, the barbarian king Meng Erke will come to the city almost every once in a while to find himself alone, but Liu Xinghe ordered that no one should fight

, so he did not go to the battle, but in the past few days, the barbarian king has not appeared, at first Zhao Yilong thought that the other party gave up, but today even the Shu army did not come to attack the city, so Zhao Yilong immediately sent spies out of the city, and the spies reported that Shu returned to their own people to camp empty.

Liu Xinghe didn't believe it, so he and Zhao Yilong disguised themselves and went out of the city to investigate, and when they arrived at the Shu army camp, the two found that the Shu army camp was empty, and all kinds of things in the camp were scattered, and it seemed that they had suddenly withdrawn.

Hearing that the generals in the Shu army retreated from the tent, Chu Wujiao also breathed a sigh of relief, only Liu Xinghe frowned, he didn't know why the enemy suddenly retreated, there was no warning. At this time, a carrier pigeon flew in from outside the camp, and it seemed that Chu Tianjiao's secret agent had received news. Sure enough, after reading the flying pigeon's biography, Chu Tianjiao laughed and said, "Haha, God help me!"
