After hearing what Ziwei Ling Liu Gan said, Xuanzong was very proud and said with a smile: "Then, in Liu Aiqing's opinion, how should we reward Shen this time?"

This time, Liu Gan became very knowledgeable and immediately said loudly: "I think I should be rewarded and promoted to another level."

Well, Xuanzong didn't say much this time, but changed his mind, "Where is Chen Buyi now?"

Ziwei ordered Liu Gan to bow and said, "Go back to the emperor, according to the military soldiers who delivered the letter, Prince Shen had rushed to Qingzhou overnight after taking down Shanhaiguan."

Hearing this, Xuanzong's expression moved slightly, his lips moved a few times, but he still didn't say it.

He slowly stood up, "Aiqing Chen is really my blessing. From the beginning of the locust-killing and disaster relief, no matter how difficult it is, he will be able to solve it immediately after he leaves."

This evaluation is quite high.

Ziwei ordered Liu Gan to regret it suddenly. He should have said just now that he would be promoted to three levels.

Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, was very smart. He stepped forward slowly and bowed and said, "Emperor, since that's the case, I think, why not wait for Prince Shen to pacify Langya and give him rewards together?"

This sentence not only relieved Liu Gan's siege, but also satisfied Xuanzong's self-esteem.

Xuanzong nodded.

"Yeah, Gao Lishi's words are just right, so do that."

When he walked out of the imperial study, Zi Wei asked Liu Gan to gently wipe the sweat from his forehead. Chen Prince Consort, Chen Prince Consort, what magical powers do you have to use together? This always makes me a little nervous.

Outside Juyong Pass.

Heihu Mountain, Khitan Military Camp.

The Marshal's new residence can be said to be furious. He finally sent a squad to support Goguryeo. Unexpectedly, Goguryeo was so unsuccessful that she was driven out of Shanhaiguan overnight.

My idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation completely failed, so now, it seems that it doesn't make much sense to persevere. After thinking about it, Xinju decided to withdraw his troops regardless of the opposition from Xinlangli.

Without a good chance, withdrawing troops is the only option.

So, on this moonlit night, the Khitan army quietly retreated for a hundred miles and retreated to the Khitan territory.

Connected with it, after Goguryeo learned that the Khitan had withdrawn, Park Hui immediately wrote a letter to King Park Chang, asking for the withdrawal of the troops. The reason given was very simple. The soldiers he brought now were already trapped in people and horses, so it was meaningless to stay.

In just three or five days, the entire northern defense line became smooth and the pressure suddenly decreased.

As a result, in Qingzhou City, the Yi family’s father and son could no longer laugh.

The suspension of the war in the north means that the Tang Dynasty can work hard to deal with the affairs of Langya Kingdom.

Yi Lagu also lost his former spirit and became a little depressed.

Yi Chu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

On this day, I came to my confidant and deputy general Nan to find him.

"Let me, what do I do to you on weekdays?"

Nanlai hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Mr. Marquis, you are like a new parent to Nanlai, I," Before he could finish speaking, Yi Chu waved his hand, "Okay, stop talking, there is something, it's urgent, you can't do it if you don't."

Nanlai patted his chest and said, "Mr. Marquis, tell me, what do you need me to do? Nanlai will never refuse."

Yi Chu's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You know our current situation. Now we have more than 20,000 troops in Pengcheng, Laicheng and other places. I need someone to go out to help the soldiers."

Nanlai bowed slightly and agreed, "Nanlai is willing to go."

Yi Chu nodded, "Okay, I've observed it in the past few days. The southwest part of Hongcheng is relatively relaxed. Today, I will lead people to rush to protect you from the city." Hearing this, Nanlai was very moved and said, "I will definitely live up to the mission."

It's night.

The sound of the bangzi in the fourth update passed.

A gap was quietly opened at the west gate of Hongcheng, and Yi Chu personally led three thousand soldiers and horses out of the city.

Yang Zhao led the troops to the west.

The city was safe and sound for many days, which made him feel a little relaxed.

Therefore, in the second half of the night, fewer soldiers on duty became guarded, and the soldiers on guard were also drowsy.

Therefore, when Yi Chu led his men to the front of him, the soldiers subconsciously hid to both sides.

Yi Chu got the opportunity, rode his horse and carried a gun, rushed for a while, and finally sent Nanlai to a few waits.

Then he led his troops back.

Yang Zhao, who received the news, saw that Yi Chu was indeed trying hard to send someone out, and knew that he was going to bring reinforcements.

Fortunately, Shen Buyi had an explanation long ago that if the enemy army rushed to the camp, they would probably send people to rescue soldiers.

Try to let these people go.

He had already thought of a countermeasure and wanted to adopt a classic style of playing, that is, to surround the points and attack support.

He wanted to eat all the reinforcements of Yi Chu little by little, breaking all the thoughts of the Yi family.

Yi Chu sent Nanfang away, but he still felt a little relieved. If he could bring rescue soldiers from outside, the battle in Hongcheng would be unpredictable.

However, Shen Buyi showed extremely high combat talent at this time.

Twenty miles east of Hongcheng is the Mi River. There are two ferry crossings of Mi River, which is the only way to cross the river.

It can be said that as long as you guard two ferries, you will be stuck in the throat that goes east and east to west of Hongcheng.

According to Shen Buyi's deployment, Qingzhou Governor Xu Guang led his men to replace Qiu Ping to surround the east of Hongcheng.

Then Qiu Ping brought his troops to set up an ambush by the Mi River to stop Yi Chu's reinforcements.

Three more days have passed.

Yi Chu and his son did not see a single reinforcement, and even the Tang army surrounding him showed no sign of action. In other words, the reinforcements were not close to Hongcheng at all.

At the same time, in Hongcheng, the morale of the army was in chaos.

Zhu Ming immediately started to work hard after receiving Bai Han’s notice.

First, he secretly set up a banquet in his house and invited several close-knitted village leaders to chat while drinking.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes, Zhu Ming deliberately put his glass heavily on his wine glass.

Among the mountain kings, a man named Tian Li understood it. He put down his wine glass and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhu, what are you worried about?"

Zhu Ming sighed.

"Oh, in a few days, it will be my father's birthday, but now I'm so anxious outside the city."

Tian Li nodded, "It is really admirable that Zhu's village leader is so filial.

But, if you want to go out now, it may be difficult to deal with."

Another mountain king next to him, named Zhan Cheng, also echoed, "Yes, I can't go out now. I didn't expect that Zhan Cheng would be starved to death in Hongcheng."

For a moment, several other people also agreed.

Zhu Ming did not say anything, but gave Han Chun a wink.

Han Chun nodded and whispered, "I'm going to invite you guys here today. I want to ask, do you have any way to let my village leader go out.
