Liu Rumei was greatly surprised by Xiao Jingyun's words.
Chen Xiaobei's behavior was normal. From her point of view, she understood Chen Xiaobei's mood and feelings very well, but she didn't expect that Jamel Xiao would be so angry over such a thing.
Having said that, if Chen Xiaobei hadn't arrived in time to suggest that Xiao Jamyun send people to respond at the four city gates, Liu Rumei would have been a dead body by now.
At this time, Liu Rumei actually felt a little discouraged. She did not expect that Xiao Jingyun's mentality had changed so much under the heavy pressure.
This change is undoubtedly chilling for followers.
But Liu Rumei didn't say much, she just bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Since Chen Xiaobei is unwilling, I will let it go."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "In that case, why should I rush to help him?"
As he spoke, he turned to Zhou Quan and said, "Go ahead, pull all our people back, and tell them to be more relaxed when meeting Chen Xiaobei in the future."
Liu Rumei said nothing, bowed and retreated, feeling a little emotional along the way.
Chen Xiaobei just put forward some of his own opinions and understanding, but Jamel Xiao became very angry.
And this will undoubtedly be chilling.
Liu Rumei just didn't expect that something even more chilling to her was yet to come.
Not long after she left, a carrier pigeon landed quietly, and a letter arrived from Wannian City.
Zhou Quan took down the secret letter and said respectfully to Prince Xiao Jingyun, "Your Highness, there is a letter from the capital."
Xiao Jingyun looked very happy after reading the letter, "That's great. Both the Great Tu Kingdom and the Dalin Kingdom have withdrawn their troops. Let's see how long Zhu Meng can last."
Speaking of this, he said to Zhou Quan again, "Send the order, and everyone will keep a close eye on him to prevent Zhu Meng from jumping over the wall. He must be trapped in Jizhou City."
Soon the news of the withdrawal of troops from the two countries spread in the military camp, and Liu Rumei was very surprised after hearing it.
We finally saw the dawn of the end of the war, and it was all going to end soon.
Thinking of this, her mood began to improve inexplicably.
At this time, Zhu Meng in Jizhou City also received the news. When he entered the city, he sent out several teams of scouts to contact the Great Tu Kingdom and the Dalin Kingdom. Now there is finally a response, and both countries have withdrawn their troops.
After reading the news, Zhu Meng remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he sent someone to call Zhang Liao over.
Zhang Liao was dumbfounded after reading the letter, "How is this possible? As promised..."
Zhu Meng sighed, "Okay, it's useless to say all that, let's think about what we should do next!"
"Commander, the matter has come to this, we have no way out, we can only carry it to the end!" Zhang Liao looked quite helpless.
Zhu Meng also sighed, "Yes, we have no way out."
"But staying here in Jizhou city is not a long-term solution. Although there is still enough food and grass now, it will be winter soon, and we are afraid that we will not be able to survive this winter."
Zhang Liao pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, maybe we can only fight to the death now. If we have a head-on confrontation, we may still win a chance of survival."
Zhu Meng looked at him and said, "Oh, please tell me what to do."
"Commander, we will attack overnight. If we capture Xiao Jingyun as a hostage, then we can negotiate a good price with Xiao An."
"Even if we can't capture Xiao Jingyun, we can still take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, take some of our troops and go directly north to join our big neighbor, so that we can keep our way out."
"You mean to abandon the city and leave." Zhu Meng raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Liao looked serious, "Commander, the matter has come to this, we can only protect ourselves first, and then worry about the future."
"Our hundreds of thousands of soldiers will go to the Dalin Kingdom immediately. The Dalin Kingdom will naturally welcome them. Then we can rest and recuperate. If we come back next spring, we will definitely destroy the Xiao family."
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Zhu Meng finally let out a long sigh, "That's fine, I'll do as you said, but it's better not to make this matter public."
Zhang Liao obviously understood what Zhu Meng meant, and he gave Zhu Meng a thumbs up.
"What the Marshal said is absolutely true. When the time comes, we will launch a sneak attack out of the city and let him, Ge Zhuang, lead the team to defend the city. He will naturally be happy."
"Well, that's why you go ahead and make arrangements. It's best to tell Ge Zhuang about this in advance so that he won't be suspicious again." Zhu Meng smiled.
Zhang Liao bowed and stepped back and went straight to the Jizhou government office.
At this moment, Gezhuang was lying on the bed, half asleep, and was shot by Princess Zhaoning. The boy was angry, but he was helpless when the anger returned. Who wants to be incompetent in his studies?
Hearing that Zhang Liao was coming, he still seemed very excited and hurriedly ordered his guard captain Liu Quan to take him out to greet him.
Zhang Liao showed sympathy as soon as he came in, "Oh, General Ge has suffered!"
At this time, Ge Zhuang showed an indifferent look, smiled and waved his hand.
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategists!"
"General Ge, the commander-in-chief discussed with me just now. I must avenge you. Otherwise, the commander-in-chief really cannot swallow this breath."
Ge Zhuang was still a little surprised by Zhang Liao's statement.
With a grateful look on his face, he cupped his fist at Zhang Liao and said, "Ge has difficulty moving, please take me to thank the commander."
Zhang Liao looked around with a smile, but said nothing. Of course Ge Zhuang understood and waved to Liu Quan, who immediately retreated with several guards and maids around him.
When no one was around, Zhang Liao lowered his voice and said, "I am here to deliver a message to you on the orders of the commander-in-chief."
"The commander plans to attack Xiao Jingyun tonight. If you are lucky, you can capture him."
After hearing this, Ge Zhuang was startled. He rolled his eyes, showing some annoyance, and beat his leg, "What a shame, my leg is injured and I can't follow the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Liao waved his hand, "That's why the marshal asked me to come. General, don't be anxious, just rest and recover. The marshal said that after staying here for so long, I haven't made any achievements, which is unjustifiable. I plan to use the food I brought tonight."
The troops and horses of our headquarters are fighting. The general can order the soldiers and horses of Jizhou to guard the city and wait for the good news from the commander-in-chief."
After hearing this, Ge Zhuang was secretly proud. Originally, he didn't want to participate in this kind of thing, but now Zhang Liao's words played into his hands. But at that time, he had to pretend to be heartbroken.
"Forget it, please tell the commander that I, Ge Zhuang, will guard Jizhou City and wait for the commander's triumphant return."
After appeasing Ge Zhuang, Zhang Liao got up and left.
Liu Quan sent Zhang Liao away and turned to see Ge Zhuang.
Seeing Ge Zhuang's cheerful look, Liu Quan couldn't help but ask.
