On the third day of the siege, the city walls in Ganzhou were in ruins and looked like an abandoned city that had been abandoned for thousands of years.
The defense of Ganzhou City is simply incomparable to Xiazhou and Yinzhou. The closer to the core of the Central Plains civilization, the more the urban architectural style has the characteristics of the Central Plains. On the grassland, a hundred years ago, even the Great Khan
The places where the herders are stationed are just tents. They set up camp and move around the grassland at will. Therefore, their fighting style has always been offensive, using offense to replace defense. The weaker party will either be on the grassland.
Start a decisive battle with the opponent, or use the vast desert grasslands to escape. There is no such thing as defending the city.
Today, the Khitan people have developed from a tribal alliance of Huns and Turks into an imperial government, and have begun to build fortresses. These cities in the Hexi Corridor have also been built due to the prosperity of the Western Regions trade routes since the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the defensive effect of these cities is actually
Very limited.
Yang Hao was confident that he would break through Ganzhou's defenses and enter Ganzhou City the next day, but he did not reveal his powerful siege capabilities. Many heavy siege equipment and sharp long-range weapons were just to suppress the city.
The defenders tried to reduce their casualties as much as possible. He had no intention of forcibly breaking the city.
Ganzhou Uihe is an independent kingdom, and the majority of its residents are Uihe people. Yang Hao's influence here is limited. If he breaks through forcibly and attacks the city, the city's defenders will change from 60,000 to all soldiers, and the losses in street fighting will be even greater.
Serious, and Ganzhou Uighurs are still mainly nomadic and highly mobile. Once the city of Ganzhou is defeated and the Khan is killed in battle, various tribes will take advantage of the chaos to break out and flee. At that time, it will be difficult to hunt down and surrender.
It will be even bigger, and it will take at least two or three years to get these wild horses back one by one.
Therefore, Yang Hao suppressed the siege firepower. Ganzhou City was always in danger, but always managed to survive. In this way, Yeluohe Khan and the Uighur soldiers and civilians always maintained a trace of illusion in their hearts and defended their royal city.
.
The siege continued. Yang Hao sat cross-legged in a huge white felt ox cart pulled by eighteen oxen. In front of the cart stood a large yak with a nine-tailed wolf head, leisurely sipping Xiliang grape wine and looking at various ministries.
The soldiers launched attacks one after another in an orderly manner.
"Woo~~~~, Wuwu~~~"
A desolate horn sound suddenly sounded, and Mu Yu flew over and shouted: "Sir, the Uighur reinforcements are coming. There are seven or eight thousand people from the northwest."
A smile appeared on Yang Hao's lips: "Well done, after waiting for them for three days, they finally arrived."
He immediately shook up his clothes and shouted loudly: "Send the order: Mu En leads the army to intercept, Ai Yihai, Mukui quickly outflank the two wings of the reinforcements and prepare to suppress them. Zhang Pu, He Bining, Li Huating and others each defend their own formations, postpone the siege, and change the attack
In order to defend and prevent Ye Luohe from sending troops to respond, immediately transfer the heavy armored cavalry and Modao team and form an array at the north gate of Ganzhou!"
Following the generals' orders one after another, the messengers were flying back and forth. Each team was like a gear in the huge war machine in Yang Hao's hand. They bit each other tightly and began to rotate rapidly.
Dust was flying in the distance, and a group of cavalry appeared from the northwest. Judging from their momentum, they planned to break through Yang Hao's army that was attacking the city in one go, causing a lot of damage and chaos while rushing into the city. If Yang Hao's siege had already
If you use all your strength, you will never have time to react immediately, restrain the army, adjust the rhythm, change offense to defense, and mobilize sufficient troops to intercept.
This tactic of the Uighurs cannot be said to be very clever, but it is absolutely effective. It is based on the word "quick", which is the embodiment of the cavalry's mobility.
Uighur soldiers with high noses and curly hair, full of murderous intent, waving sharp swords, fought with Mu En's troops. Wherever their horses' hooves flew, they stirred up large amounts of dust, which quickly enveloped both the enemy and us. The dust and smoke billowed like two heavens.
The army fights in the clouds.
"Oh...,oh..."
Although there were only seven or eight thousand reinforcements, the appearance of the first reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Uighur troops who were defending the city. The Uighurs on the top of the city looked at the reinforcements approaching in the distance, cheered excitedly, and waved their swords and guns.
, shouted happily, and the entire Ganzhou city became excited for the appearance of King Qin's army. Ye Luohe immediately ordered Kaicheng to respond, cooperate internally and externally, and launch a counterattack in the direction of Beicheng.
The noose of the suspension bridge was lowered creakingly, and the heavy suspension bridge landed on the moat with a bang, and the city gate opened...
He Bining was attacking Beicheng. As soon as he received General Yang Hao, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat, while the reserve troops would resist the horses. The thorns quickly spread to the front positions. The siege troops abandoned their heavy siege equipment and just returned to their main formation.
After setting up a half-moon defensive formation, Ye Luohe's seventh princess Aguli personally led five thousand elite soldiers and rushed onto the suspension bridge with their scimitars raised high.
"Puff puff puff" a burst of blood appeared. The Uighur warriors used their horse bodies to forcefully hit the newly deployed horse. When the horse neighed and fell to the ground, the gun's tail was deeply pressed into the sand.
It was broken by the strong momentum.
Immediately, Aguli, who was dressed in white robes and covered with white gauze, rode a majestic war horse, waved the scimitar in her hand, and rushed into He Bining's military formation like the wind against the strong arrow rain of the Xiazhou army.
"Cang! Cang! Cang!" There was a sound of fighting, the shadow of swords and the light of swords. Princess Aguli's body was wrapped in a large robe. Her graceful and charming body could not be seen, but she was waving her stirrups and bending down.
The movements of her body, back, and side splits, the charming and enchanting beauty can still be vaguely visible in the fluttering clothes of her clothes. The strength and fierceness and the charm and softness of women are perfectly blended together. The splash of blood is even more...
It added a bit of charming charm to her.
Standing in the distance, Yang Hao also noticed the fighting here. Seeing that the person leading the charge was actually a young woman, her fierce and wild taste was actually more ferocious than many men on the grassland. Yang Hao subconsciously licked it
Lips, there was still the sweet taste of wine on his lips: His grandmother's, this woman... so fierce. Just like the female horse bandit leader Gasharova in "The Mirage" is as wild and fierce.
He Bining was in front of the battle and saw it more clearly. Seeing that the beauty with a white gauze on her face, only revealing a pair of charming and sinister big eyes, was so brave, He Bining couldn't help but be secretly shocked: "No wonder the commander said that all the people are soldiers."
, We are not allowed to forcefully break the city before the enemy's force is over. These Uighur women are actually so terrifying."
Seeing that the woman in white robe was so powerful that she had led the army to break through the thorns and thorns, and rushed into the front army, He Bining immediately picked up the knife in his hand and went to meet him personally...
Behind He Bining's military formation, Mo Dao's formation and the heavy armored cavalry have entered the position. Away from the city, He Bining and Princess Aguli are fighting hard. To the northwest, Mu En's troops are trying to stop the Huihe reinforcements, and Mo Dao's soldiers are in formation.
The soldiers in front, leaning on the ground with their swords, were on stern alert. The soldiers behind them began to put on their armor with the help of the soldiers, as carefully as the brides who were about to board the sedan.
Their combat advantages are obvious, but their disadvantages are also very obvious. Within a thousand steps, they can attack at most twice, and then they have to pant like cattle and be slaughtered. Therefore, the conditions suitable for them to fight are particularly harsh.
In order to save manpower and horsepower, they will not put on battle armor until they are ready for combat, but it goes without saying that once they are given the room to display their abilities, their lethality is like that of a Black Panther tank on a cold-weapon battlefield.
The swords are like mountains, the spears are like forests, and the sound of killing is loud.
The spear in Mu En's hand was soaked with blood. Although the guards tried their best to protect him, there were many wounds of varying severity on his body. The enemy's attack was surprisingly fierce. If the commander hadn't saved his remaining strength,
If he rushes to fight, the limited troops in his hands will not be able to stop such a powerful offensive.
Seeing that the heavy armored cavalry guarded by Mu En and He Bining were ready, and the dust was flying in the distance, and Mukui and Ai Yihai's mobile light cavalry were approaching, Yang Hao immediately ordered Mu En to withdraw his troops.
The military flag sent out a signal, and Mu En's army began to retreat to both sides. The reinforcements quickly broke through after leaving behind more than a thousand corpses.
The show begins...
Yang Hao deliberately let them in and placed them under Ganzhou City, so that all the royal families, nobles, leaders and soldiers in the city who rushed to the north city of Ganzhou to watch the battle could witness a massacre with their own eyes.
The heavy armored cavalry ignored the oncoming enemy troops and began to attack like heavy tanks. The arrows shot on their bodies were like being bitten by mosquitoes, and then bounced away. The arrow tips were blunt. The scimitar struck the armor.
On the ground, the swords were either broken or were shaken into the air in the resounding sparks. The heavy armored cavalry were like mountains of iron, rumbling forward and knocking them off their feet.
Behind the heavy armored cavalry, the Mo Swordsmen became meat grinders. The Mo Swords rose and fell one after another, harvesting the lives of people and horses. Between the swings of the Mo Swords, they strangled everything.
Wherever there is, there is a lot of blood and flesh left behind.
The people on the top of the city witnessed with their own eyes this massacre that they had never seen before. The Uighur reinforcements, which had been attacking fiercely just now and were evenly matched with the Xiazhou army, with the cooperation of these two weird armies, were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
, completely unable to fight back. Seeing the horrific massacre scene, the people on the top of the city had pale faces, and their livers and gallbladders were about to burst...
The Xiazhou light cavalry squeezed up from both sides, forcing them to have no way to escape. The Huihe reinforcements could only bite the bullet and rush towards the oncoming iron mountains and sword wheels like moths. They were crushed and crushed, and the heavy armored cavalry and
After Mo Daoshou waded through the enemy group, the dense light cavalry on both sides closed like guillotines, sweeping the battlefield and picking up the last remnants of the enemy.
Ye Luohe stood at the top of the city and watched helplessly as a huge reinforcement army, nearly seven to eight thousand people, was crushed to pieces by the Xiazhou Army's terrifying strangulation, until... the entire army was wiped out.
This was a true annihilation of the entire army, with not a single person left alive. Not even a few of the horses under their legs survived. Ye Luohe held his hands on the city wall, his arms trembling, his legs stretched out, until
He glanced at the place where just a moment ago there were thousands of people like tigers and horses like dragons, galloping and joyful. The place was now covered in red, a shocking red that soaked the land.
Ye Luohe was so lost that he forgot to order to withdraw his troops. His generals were also stunned. Their hearts suddenly fell from heaven to hell, from great joy to great sorrow, especially after they had just seen the Xiazhou Army with their own eyes.
The terrifying combat power that was impossible to resist during a head-on conflict and the powerful shock to the soul made it difficult for them to calm down for a long time.
The five thousand soldiers and horses of Aguli below the city were still struggling. They could not see the situation ahead and were still trying their best to receive the reinforcements that would never arrive. It was only then that Ye Luohe woke up as if from a dream.
The beard trembled violently and shouted in a shrill voice: "Retreat the troops! Retreat the troops!"
Everything they saw just now will turn into a nightmare, haunting each of their dreams. Soon, this nightmare will be sent into the hearts of the entire Ganzhou people through the mouths of thousands of people in the city...
In the desert, under the moonlight, a tent looks like a tomb.
All around, the horses stood quietly, the camels lay leisurely, and the soldiers gathered around piles of bonfires. The oppressive atmosphere made few people speak.
In the tent, Ye Luohe's eldest son, Prince Ali, and several tribal leaders were sitting cross-legged with heavy faces. The torches were swaying in the wind, making their faces flicker.
"No, we can't go to aid Ganzhou immediately. We have to wait for the reinforcements from other tribes to arrive, gather enough troops, and attack the troops besieging Ganzhou City from different directions at the same time, so that they can't take care of each other. That's the only way,
Only then can we rush into the city and join the Great Khan."
Prince Ali said this and said in a deep voice: "From now on, the food you carry must be saved as much as possible until more reinforcements arrive!"
In Yang Hao's tent, all the generals gathered.
Yang Hao said loudly: "Today's battle, the entire army of 7,000 reinforcements was wiped out in an instant, and there was no way to escape. Let the Ganzhou defenders witness it with their own eyes. This kind of deterrence is unparalleled. It is difficult for them to have the confidence to rush forward again."
They came out of the city to fight us to the death. But the Uighurs would not give up Ganzhou just like that, let alone surrender. The only thing they could do was to take advantage of the wide corridors of Ganzhou city. We could not quickly mobilize troops to assist any place.
Weakness, gather enough reinforcements, attack each city at the same time, and try to join the defenders."
Yang Hao smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. Next, what we have to do is to make them give up the decisive battle with me and defend the city to the death. If Ye Luohe wants to defend the city, let him defend the city to the death.
"
The generals laughed loudly, and Yang Hao pressed his knees and said: "If there are any more reinforcements, release all the water and let them rush into the city to meet Ye Luohe. You should already know what to do next. Since they are willing to be attacked by us,
If we lead the way by the nose, then we will proceed step by step. To the Yeluohe Khan of Ganzhou, we will encircle but not attack. To the Long Family of Suzhou, we will attack but not to encircle them. To the Guiyi Army in Guasha and Shazhou, we will only attack them.
Either intercept or attack, the three cities will proceed simultaneously."
The generals shouted loudly, and Yang Hao added: "Here, General Zhang Pu is left to take charge of the overall situation, and the three generals Ai Yihai, Mu En, and Li Huating..."
The three of them clasped their fists: "The end will be here!"
Yang Hao smiled slightly: "You guys, accompany me to Suzhou. Now go back and prepare. We will withdraw our troops overnight and set off tomorrow."
The generals respectfully responded to the order, and Yang Hao said: "Okay, after days of fighting, we are all exhausted. Let's all go back. From tomorrow on, we can just show off and take turns to rest."
The generals took the order and left. Yang Hao took the tea and thought over his entire deployment in detail. He came west this time with an army of 80,000. After arriving in Liangzhou, he unceremoniously took Luorong Dengba's two men.
Wan Tufan's army was also brought out. They wanted to surrender to the mountains to become thieves. These 20,000 troops were more familiar and adapted to the geography of the Western Regions than the Xiazhou soldiers, so there was no reason why they should not be used.
The use of troops is sufficient, but this battle is very complicated. At the beginning, the sweep of the Qiang in Hengshan and the attack on Yinzhou were simple one-on-one battles. However, in the later attack on Li Guangrui, although they adopted the strategy of building plank roads openly and crossing Chencang secretly.
, there are two fronts, one bright and one dark, but it is still a one-on-one battle, but now it is very different. He must use the least damaging method of attack on the Hexi Corridor with the smallest casualties, and target three fronts at the same time, with three different forces.
The forces used three different strategies, and they had to be carried out simultaneously, so that Ganzhou could surrender without a fight. However, the complexity was far greater than any war he had ever experienced before.
Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, as well as the leaders of the forces stationed in these places, and the relationships between them, were carefully filtered in Yang Hao's mind. When he thought about Lingtai, there was a burst of clarity.
When footsteps sounded, Yang Hao opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth and a peach-like face. He walked gracefully into the tent. When Yang Hao opened his eyes, the white-robed young man opened his hands and moved lightly in front of him.
He stood up and said with a smile: "Does it look good?"
Wearing a Xiaoyao scarf, a jade belt, cloud-climbing shoes, a robe as white as snow, and a pretty face with pink makeup and jade-shaped eyebrows, her eyebrows are as bright as the stars and the moon. She deserves the reputation of a handsome young man, but Yang Hao frowned and said:
"It's getting late, why are you dressed like this?"
The handsome young man said angrily: "You said you wanted to sneak into Suzhou secretly, and you wanted me to pretend to be you and sit here. I'll dress up for you to see."
Yang Hao touched his nose, with an evil smile on his face: "Anyway, you are hiding it from outsiders, so you don't need to be too cautious, but... Yanyan, you really have a different taste when you dress like this."
Tang Yanyan turned from anger to joy, opened the sleeves of his robe, admired it and said, "Really? I just held the mirror to admire it, and I thought it was very beautiful."
Yang Hao suppressed a smile and said: "Yes, seeing your appearance now, I suddenly understand why some powerful and famous people like to molest children."
Tang Yanyan made a vomiting expression and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you must learn to do well and pamper the child molester... It's so disgusting."
Yang Hao said disapprovingly: "What's so disgusting? It is said that many famous people like to molest boys, so they often choose some handsome young people to be boys. During the day, they grind ink and serve tea, and at night..., hehe, they are very elegant."
Tang Yanyan became nervous, quickly rushed to his side, grabbed his collar and said, "You are not allowed to imitate them, or else... otherwise... you are not allowed to touch me in the future."
Yang Hao chuckled: "Why can't I touch you if I want a prostitute?"
Tang Yanyan's face turned red, she pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, it's no, what other reason is there?"
Yang Haoxiao smiled and said: "Oh... Yanyan seems to understand what child molestation is. Has anyone in the Tang family raised a molester?"
"Yes...no, no, no..." Tang Yanyan just nodded, suddenly woke up and shook his head vigorously.
Yang Hao laughed, grabbed her soft waist, kissed her jade-like pink cheeks and said, "Don't worry, your officials won't like pedophiles."
Tang Yanyan wrinkled his nose and hummed: "That's pretty much it."
Yang Hao chuckled and said with evil intentions: "Because... my Yanyan looks more like a prostitute than the most handsome prostitute. Why should an official ride a horse to find a horse?"
Tang Yanyan raised her neck because of his kiss, her starry eyes were blurred, and she gasped: "I... I am a real woman..."
Yang Hao slid down against her flat and soft belly, and gently untied her belt with his other hand. He whispered against her ear: "Of course you are a woman, and you are also a very cute woman. Women serve men. You can do the things that you do. You can also do the things that prostitutes do to serve men. Yanyan, tonight, how about you be a prostitute for an official..."
"No...not good..."
Tang Yanyan blushed with embarrassment and tried to run away as soon as he opened his big hand. However, as soon as she crawled out two steps like a puppy, Yang Hao clamped her hips and dragged her away. return.
With a soft cry of "Ah", her robe was lifted up, and her buttocks were like a full moon, shining like jade.
The wind blows my skirt and makes my butt feel cold, and I sing softly about the sorrow of chrysanthemums...
Outside the huge white felt oxcart, a figure flew up like a giant, and flew onto the yak's nine-tailed wolf-headed banner. The dog squatted on the wolf-headed banner with its cheeks burning, and held it tightly with two fingers. He blocked his ears and said with shame, "Uncle is a bad person..."
Caochengchuan, Kelan Defense Envoy's Mansion.
In the study, the mysterious guest said with a feminine smile: "General Chi is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and the official Long Yan is very happy. Now you and I are planning a big move, and we just want to take Fuzhou. This Fuzhou Jiedu will seal the territory." Official, this is what you have in your pocket. Your glory, wealth, and bright future are limitless. I would like to congratulate you first."
Chi Zhong couldn't help but said: "Master Wang, what I am thinking about now is not a problem, but... how to deal with the various changes that will follow after taking Fugu. If this matter is not resolved, even if I am willing If you surrender to the imperial court, you can’t guarantee that all of your generals will die as a result.”
That Lord Wang was actually Wang Jien, the transfer envoy to Hexi Province and the observation envoy to Hebei Province. After hearing what Chi Zhong said, he smiled lightly and said: "Haha, General Chi is too polite. The general has been stationed in Caochengchuan for many years, and he is just like a prince. If he can't control it, Who can trust the soldiers and generals under his command? General Chi, don’t worry, the officials have made careful plans, and the general is here..."
Wang Jien pointed at the map and said in a deep voice: "As soon as you make a move here, we will take action immediately. The Anli Army and the Longde Army control Cheng Shixiong's troops in Guangyuan, and they are not allowed to move rashly. I have a secret official order and will personally lead the Ninghua Army when the time comes. , the Jinning Army, the Pingding Army, and the Weisheng Army quickly entered the territory of Fuzhou and assisted the general in controlling the various troops under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou. Li Pishouhui, the assassin of Suizhou, secretly led his army north to intercept Linzhou Yang Jiye's reinforcements. .
By then, Fuzhou will be firmly under control, and it will be difficult for Linzhou Yang Jiye to make any progress. Yang Hao is currently busy with the Western Expedition. Even if he is willing to give up halfway, when he comes back, the overall situation in Fuzhou will be decided, unless he dares to provoke a rebellion and face the enemy directly. What else can we do to the officials? General Chi, do you think this kind of arrangement can be regarded as a loss of ten thousand men?"
Chi Zhong looked at the map and assessed the strength of these Song armies, and his face gradually became calm: "The official deployment is naturally flawless, but... nothing will go wrong, right?"
Wang Jien said: "General Chi, the officials have been plotting the northwest for a long time. If the people who want to take the northwest into their hands the most are the officials, how can the officials allow anything to go wrong with such a major matter? General Chi will just do it. Mind your own business, as long as you succeed here, the Fuzhou army will be leaderless, and great things can be accomplished!"
Chi Zhong looked at it carefully for a long time, gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Okay, I will start taking action immediately when Zhe Weichang arrives."
Wang Jien beamed with joy and said: "Okay, Wang will definitely cooperate fully to help the general complete this unparalleled feat."
Chi Zhong said: "It's getting late today. Mr. Wang, please stay in Chi's study for now. I will see you off in person tomorrow."
Wang Jien nodded in agreement, and Chi Zhong said goodbye and came out. As soon as he arrived at the central hall, he saw deputy general Xiao Chen waiting there. When he saw him coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, Zhe Weixin has entered the city and will be at the residence soon."
Chizhong was surprised: "So fast?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Commander Zhe knows that our three armies are having a pay dispute. How can we rest assured? The second young master will naturally have to travel day and night to appease the morale of the army."
At this time, someone in the front courtyard sang loudly: "Master Weichang has arrived..."
Chi Zhong and Xiao Chen looked at each other and smiled, quickly dusted off their clothes and went out to greet them.
Zheweixin rushed to Caochengchuan in the dust. When he entered the city, the sun was already declining. Now his eldest brother Zheweixin was gradually starting to take charge of the government for his father. As the second brother, Zheweixin would play the same role as Zheyuqing in the future, and would be the eldest brother.
As his right-hand man, I heard that the Sichuan Army in Caocheng had a change of heart due to the shortage of food and salary. Zhe Yuxun did not dare to be careless, so he ordered him to bring a sum of money and food to appease him.
Now that the food and salary cart had stopped outside the mansion, I lost my confidence and worried about the situation in Caochengchuan. Without waiting for anyone to report, I entered the mansion and walked quickly to the atrium accompanied by the butler. I thought about how to appease the Caochengchuan soldiers all the way. The whole mansion and the prefecture were united.
Words about working together to overcome difficulties.
As soon as he crossed the courtyard gate, he saw Chi Zhong and his deputy Xiao Chen walking up to meet him. When Zhe Weixin saw him, he quickly took two steps forward and saluted with a smile: "Weichang has met Uncle Zhong, Mr. Xiao. How are you?"
"
Chizhong was the same generation as his father, so he called him uncle but did not acknowledge his position. This was because Zhe Weixin was deliberately getting close to him, but Chizhong did not dare to address him as "uncle". He quickly stepped forward to help him and said: "Oh, young general, hurry up."
Please get up quickly, Chi cannot be called a major general. Is your health good, Commander-in-Chief?"
Zhe Weichang said: "My father is in good health as before, but he has been worried about the situation in Caochengchuan... How is the morale of the troops in Caochengchuan now?"
Xiao Chen on the side hurriedly said: "Major General, our Yanlan Army is adjacent to the Ninghua Army of the imperial court. The imperial army has no worries about food and pay for its soldiers and horses, but our Caochengchuan army is stretched thin. The soldiers are gradually becoming dissatisfied. They have been arguing about pay.
, Lord Chi made a decisive decision and used the stored grain as payment for payment. However, someone from the imperial court was secretly instigating it, and the resentment of the soldiers increased instead of diminishing. If this continues, the morale of the army will be worrying!"
Zhe Weichang was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Chi Zhong and said, "Uncle, is the situation so serious now?"
Chi Zhong showed worry on his face and said solemnly: "Major General, please sit down in the hall and let me tell you the details." After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen understood and immediately raised his hands and said, "Finally,
