Shuanzi was at a loss just now, but when he heard the voice outside the door, he suddenly became energetic and yelled loudly: "Sister-in-law is here, why don't you put this guy down quickly! If you kill your sister-in-law by mistake, none of you will survive!"
There was a rush of sound from both sides, the cold light in the hole in the wall disappeared, and finally even the hole disappeared, only Xiao Dapeng's face became more and more ugly. The situation changed so fast, Han Shi'er and others looked at each other, secretly guessing the origin of the woman outside
.
The door opened, and two dark and lean Kunlun slaves stepped in. Although these two Kunlun slaves were bare-handed, they exuded a fierce murderous aura. They just stopped there casually, but they had already blocked the entrance and exit.
All exits from the room. Following the two Kunlun slaves, a pretty girl walked in supporting a young and beautiful woman. The woman caressed her slightly bulging belly with one hand and glanced at everyone in the room.
He glanced at it and said calmly: "Xiao Dapeng, when did you learn to rob men and dominate women? Do you want to turn Changshan Car and Horse Racing into a black shop?"
Xiao Dapeng hesitated: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I, I was just joking with them..."
When Han Shi'er heard Xiao Dapeng also call this woman sister-in-law, he knew that he had guessed wrong just now. She was not Xiao Dapeng's woman. But this also showed that there must be a more powerful elder brother behind Xiao Dapeng, otherwise Xiao Dapeng would not be afraid of one
A pregnant woman.
"Humph! You know whether you are joking or not." The woman sneered and said, "I reiterate, if anyone dares to do this again and ruin the reputation of Changshan Village, don't blame me for turning against you!"
"Ah!" Chen Fangling suddenly screamed, covering her mouth tightly, and after a while she said, "You, you are the sister of the Shi family."
The woman glanced this way and said with a smile: "Girl, you got the wrong person. My surname is not Shi."
Seeing the woman turn her face, Chen Fangling was even more convinced of her judgment. She suddenly opened her face and said loudly: "Sister Shi, take a good look. I am Fangling!"
Xiao Dapeng finally saw Chen Fangling's appearance clearly. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, no wonder those thieves dared to risk offending Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing. Although this woman is not as beautiful as Gao Xiuer, she is still very beautiful.
I just don’t know what the other one looks like.
"Fang Ling?" The woman also looked at her carefully and suddenly said with surprise on her face, "It's really Miss Fang Ling. How did you get out?"
This beautiful woman is Gao Xiuer, and her appearance here is purely coincidental. The original purpose of establishing Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing Company was to collect intelligence and information from all aspects. The focus of this period of time is naturally to collect news about the Western Expedition.
.However, Gao Xiuer had not heard any reports in this regard for seven or eight days. She was concerned about Liu Ziqiu's safety, and finally couldn't help but go to Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing Shop to have a look. As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the movement inside.
.
When she was in Qiyinyuan, Chen Fangling was Gao Xiuer's personal maid. She knew how to do things properly and was very popular with Gao Xiuer. At this moment, Gao Xiuer was so happy to see her old friend unexpectedly that she couldn't even bother to inquire about the news about the Western Expeditionary Army.
.
"Sister, I, I thought I would never see you again in this life." Chen Fangling choked up when she saw "Shi Huiniang" finally recognized her. She pointed at Han Shi'er and said, "Yes, Mr. Han saved me."
Come out."
Gao Xiuer was talented and intelligent. A flash of inspiration came to his mind and he thought of a person and said, "But Mr. Han Shi'e? I heard Liu Ziqiu talk about it."
Han Shi'e was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "This is Han Shi'e. Could it be that Madam is talking about Liu Ziqiu?"
Gao Xiuer smiled shyly, reached out and brushed the hair hanging down to her ears, and said: "Some things are a long story, let's go to the village and talk about it slowly."
Everyone in Changshan Village knew that Gao Xiuer was Liu Ziqiu's daughter-in-law, but ever since Gao Xiuer found the Geng Tie on Liu Ziqiu, she had asked the villagers not to leak out her relationship with Liu Ziqiu. The reason why Changshan Village was able to change her relationship with Liu Ziqiu in just six months
The rapid development was due to the support of the Xie family, every prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xie family's support was also a kind of investment. Although Liu Ziqiu didn't say it, Gao Xiuer could feel that the Geng Tie was obviously a political marriage.
Gao Xiuer is still unclear about Liu Ziqiu's attitude, but she knows very well that it is impossible for the daughter of the Xie family to agree to be a child for others. If it is known that Liu Ziqiu is already married, the marriage will inevitably fall through, and the consequences will not stop there.
It is very likely that Changshan Village will lose the support from the Xie family in the future. Gao Xiuer knows that Liu Ziqiu has great ambitions, and the support of the Xie family is extremely important to him, so Gao Xiuer would rather hide his relationship with Liu Ziqiu. Who can feel the bitterness in this?
Know?
In this era, wives were not allowed to call their husbands by their first names, so Han Shi'er had no doubts about their relationship. However, since the other party knew Liu Ziqiu, Han Shi'er's nervous mood relaxed, and he nodded to Han Zhong, and said to Gao Xiu'er
: "Han will listen to your wife's arrangements."
Before leaving the house, Gao Xiuer turned to Xiao Dapeng and Shuanzi and said, "Remember, tell me as soon as there is news from the west."
Xiao Dapeng had just suspected that it was Shuanzi who had tipped off Gao Xiuer, but now he realized that Gao Xiuer had happened by accident, and he could only blame his own bad luck.
Changshan Village is not far from Changshan Village, just a short walk away. Different from Changshan Village, Changshan Village is surrounded by high walls, with a moat dug outside the walls and arrow towers built at the four corners. Where is the small town?
The village is clearly a fortress.
The houses in the village were very simple. Although the yard Gao Xiuer lived in was larger, it was still a thatched house. Before he entered the door, he saw a man coming out of the yard next door and exclaimed: "Shi'er, how did you find this place?"
"
Han Shi'er looked back and was shocked and said: "Sister-in-law, it turns out you live here. My brother almost found you in Yanguan City."
…
The battle in Weiding City has lasted for ten days, and both sides have suffered huge casualties. Soldiers defending the city have been killed every day. After ten days, the dead have been close to a thousand people. The injured have reached more than 3,000 people. Basically,
The main ones were arrow wounds. However, Liu Ziqiu was well prepared and put a lot of effort into the protection of the soldiers. He ordered all soldiers to wear silk clothes close to their bodies, and even their heads had to be wrapped in silk turbans.
After these careful preparations, although there were many injuries, none were too serious. After simple bandaging, most of them returned to the battlefield.
Relatively speaking, the losses of the attacking side are much greater, especially the casualties, which are at least five times that of the defending side. As long as they persist, as time goes by, the Xianbei people on the attacking side will retreat, which will be the only option.
.However, Liu Ziqiu does not want this battle to drag on too long. The longer it drags on, the greater the casualties in the city will be. In particular, if it drags on for a month, it will affect this summer's grazing, and it will also affect the
to year-round sustenance.
Seeing that the enemy's offensive was getting weaker day by day, Liu Ziqiu finally made up his mind and ordered the entire army to prepare food at the third watch and leave the city at the fourth watch for the final decisive battle with Murong Fuyun.
…
More than half of Murong Fuyun's men had been killed in the battle. Many Xianbei leaders were full of complaints, and the attack on the city was not as active as before. Murong Fuyun was so anxious that he sent people to urge the small tribes who were following behind. Who knows, those small tribes
The tribe heard that the war ahead was unfavorable, and many people received secret messages from Ye Lilan and Hun Luo. They rubbed oil on their soles and slipped away quietly. There was only an empty camp left in the rear, and there were only a few people who were still holding on in the camp.
There were four or five small tribes, seven to eight hundred people, and these people were also planning to escape, so they did not report the situation to Murong Fuyun in time.
The most annoying thing is that those small tribes that quietly retreated took away all the cattle and sheep fodder. Without the cattle and sheep fodder, their men and horses would starve. Fortunately, the Xianbei people also prepared some cattle and sheep fodder themselves, and added
There were huge casualties on the battlefield. More people died, so consumption naturally decreased. The remaining fodder for cattle and sheep could barely sustain them for two days. But after two days, if they could no longer capture Weiding City, they would have no choice but to withdraw their troops.
Since this year, Murong Fuyun has fought against the Sui army many times. Each time, the Sui army suffered huge casualties before relying on overwhelming numbers. But this time, the enemy they faced was completely different, and they fought very tenaciously. Several times
, his men had already attacked the city, but were finally driven down. One more time, the city gate had been broken down, but a wall of ice appeared behind the city gate, which was harder than stone.
There was absolutely nothing one could do. Not only that, but the next day, the damaged city gate turned out to be intact again. Apparently someone came down to the city to repair it at night. These things all show that the defenders in the city
His fighting spirit is very firm, and if he continues to fight, it will definitely be difficult to please him. Even Murong Fuyun himself is a little undecided.
When faced with a dilemma, Murong Fuyun summoned the leaders of various tribes to discuss countermeasures. Everyone discussed and argued that those who retreated had the absolute upper hand. If you want to retreat, you must retreat as early as possible to prevent the defenders in the city from discovering your intentions. Otherwise, people will be killed.
It was not pleasant to be chased after someone. Murong Fuyun hesitated again and again, and was about to issue an order to retreat overnight when he saw a soldier running in from outside the tent and loudly said: "For the record, the lord of the country, there is smoke in the city."
!”
Wolf smoke is beacon fire. The Han people have often used it since ancient times to convey messages and warn each other. But Weiding City is already an isolated city. It would be a good thing if Yu Wenhuaji didn't come to attack the city, but how can we send troops to rescue? In this case, if the city is set off
What did Langyan want to do? Murong Fuyun was puzzled.
Jin Bo suddenly said: "Master, I understand! We can't withdraw!"
