In front of the bed where Zhang Ji's body was parked, Li Ru found Zhang Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Major General, you can see that the army has stopped many sieges. Mr. Zhang's body has not been cold, and the general is about to withdraw his troops. How could it be a time of sadness at this moment!"

Zhang Xiu raised his head when he heard the sound and looked at Li Ru with concern. To be honest, he didn't like the person in front of him.

From the beginning, the man in front of him used himself and his uncle as his bargaining chips to persuade Guo Si to send troops to Hedong. Although Zhang Xiu did not say it out in the hall at that time, he was also indignant.

Now, he came to tell himself that Guo Si had given up the military situation of attacking Anyi and had ulterior motives.

Of course, Zhang Xiu knew that this was not the time for him to be sad, but suddenly encountered the bad news that his uncle Zhong Fu Lu died. He was already in a state of distraction. He was so confused that he could not have any other thoughts.

As a last resort, Zhang Xiu could only follow Li Ru's words and asked:

"Xuan is already in a state of chaos and is difficult to plan things. I wonder what the minister can teach me?"

After hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Li Ru skipped an inexplicable look on his face. Although the sad young man in front of him did not have the emotional fluctuations he had imagined, at least he had already been raided.

Li Ru hurriedly continued to use his methods and asked in a pretentious manner:

"Major General, can you tell why Mr. Zhang was shot and died?"

"The army has not been able to attack the city for several days. My uncle was worried about the war and was eager to break the city. He inspected the enemy station lightly, which gave the thieves in the city an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"That major general should know why this Anyi City cannot be captured for a long time!"

After hearing Li Ru's successive questions, Zhang Xiu's originally lowered head raised again.

Anyi could not be captured for a long time, so it is naturally because the city defense fortifications are solid and the soldiers are well-defended, so they cannot be captured in a short period of time. However, the reason is that Guo Si's army delayed the time after entering Hedong, which gave him enough time to strengthen the walls and clear the fields in the middle of Anyi City and improve the military preparations.

This is something they all know but cannot speak for themselves.

But Li Ru mentioned it at this moment. If we contacted the cause of Zhang Ji's death he just asked about, the target of the spearhead in his words would be obvious.

"What does the minister mean?"

Zhang Xiu's words were cold and his tone became alert in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Ru smiled and continued to say:

"In fact, what the major general said just now was not accurate. The reason why Zhang Hou was imprisoned was not only because he was eager to break the city, but also because he was eager to find another place for the major general and his soldiers. I wonder what Ru said was right?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he did not respond, but just lowered his head again, and the vigilance in his eyes disappeared a little.

Li Ru sighed leisurely and continued intentionally or unintentionally:

"There are unexpected disasters in heaven, and people suffer from disasters in a daze. Mr. Zhang unfortunately died, and the Religious mourned for it, but he didn't know where the Major General was going, but he had plans?"

Zhang Xiu was touched by his mind, and his strong body moved unconsciously, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he slowly started talking:

"The embroidered words are so clumsy, so the servant should just say something."

When Li Ru heard Zhang Xiu intentionally reveal his heart, she thought that the time was almost done. She immediately stopped going around in circles, put away her smile and said solemnly:

"Okay! Major General, I believe you understand that the reason why Anyi City is difficult to capture is simply because there are generals in the army in front to seek small profits and the latter to preserve their strength. If we wait for the army to retreat westward, who will avenge Zhang Hou's blood hatred? Who will find the major general's foothold? Are the major general willing to return to the Xihe land and get tired of each other with Gao Shuo and Wu Xi in the army?"

Li Ru's words hit Zhang Xiu's heart like a heavy hammer. Zhang Xiu remembered that he risked his life to swim and instigated the Qiang people. His uncle followed the army while he was sick and was a mortal enemy. His uncle and nephew fought to the death, but in the end he gained nothing and became a sword that was used by others.

The scenes in his mind changed Zhang Xiu's face. He clenched his fists tightly. It took him a long time to relax a little, but his heavier breathing still could not hide the violent fluctuations in his heart.

Li Ru closely watched Zhang Xiu's mood change. He was not too slow, but his slightly hoarse voice sounded again.

"In fact, there is a strategy here for Religion to give the major general the opportunity to avenge this bloody revenge and gain a foothold!"

Wow!

As soon as Li Ru finished speaking, a sound of iron armor shaking suddenly sounded in the tent. Zhang Xiu suddenly sat up like a fierce tiger, and his upright body brought the shaking sound of iron armor on his body.

Zhang Xiu's eyes were burning with burning eyes. Li Ru was frightened by the momentum on his body and couldn't help but hold his breath. Just now, he clearly saw a ball of flame, a ball of revenge!

"I hope to hear it carefully!"

Simple and powerful words were spit out from Zhang Xiu's mouth. Although there was no other action, his words revealed an invisible penetration.

"Ahem, Ru's plan is to withdraw the troops first tonight, attack Fenyin and capture the Hejin Ferry. When you cross the river, set fire and burn the remaining boats and the Jinkou Plank Road!"

"In this way, the army of the latter generals can be forced to stay in Hedong and have to fight the Hedong soldiers and horses!"

"At that time, when the general wins, the major general can use it to avenge his blood relatives; if the Hedong Army wins, the major general can occupy Zuo Fengyi as a foothold and watch the fire across the bank, isn't it a perfect goal?"

After Li Ru finished speaking slowly, she showed a proud smile and looked at Zhang Xiu leisurely.

When Zhang Xiu heard the heinous conspiracy Li Ru said, his face changed drastically. After a while, he snorted and said with a cold face:

"Is the Shizhong trying to deceive me from the General of the Later, and then use my hand to trap the General of the Later? The Shizhong's plan is dangerous and vicious. Could it be that he had already planned it secretly before crossing the river?"

Zhang Xiu's argument for killing the heart directly hit Li Ru's plan. Li Ru's face became a little unnatural in an instant, so he had to turn into a few giggles.

He encouraged Guo Si to march into Hedong, and he had the intention of letting Guo Si and Yan Xing fight, one dead and one injured, but was exposed by Zhang Xiu at this moment. Although it was unnatural, he quickly adapted.

He neither admitted nor denied it, and said with a sneer:

"But the one who dragged the army into such a deadly situation that was not broken or established was not inferior, but the latter general himself."

"What Confucians plan is not only dangerous, but also in a short time. Where will the major general go? I wish to make a decision quickly!"

Having said this, Li Ru stopped talking, but closed her eyes and rested as if no one was around in front of Zhang Xiu.

The knife had been handed to Zhang Xiu's hand, and it was all in a moment of thought.

Li Ru closed his eyes and counted silently in his heart. When the seventh time was counting, Zhang Xiu's voice sounded in his ears.

"Even if I have this intention, I am not as capable as others. Not only is it difficult to win Fenyin in front of me, but after the war, how can I resist the winning enemy in Hedong?"

Li Ru laughed when he heard this. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Xiu, who was still worried, and said with a smile:

"If the major general is willing to do this plan, he will be a great minister to the emperor and the emperor. At that time, he will be a noble person in the court and have a large army to help him. Why should he worry about the victory of Hedong after the war?"

The promise Li Ru made during conversation and laughter was tempting enough. As for whether this horrifying thing could be accomplished now, it all depends on Zhang Xiu's personal courage and martial arts.

Zhang Xiu let out a long sigh and turned his eyes outside the tent. Outside the gate, there were a row of guards kneeling, waiting for the torture of his personal soldiers.

Maybe, I can use this group of people next!

···

In the Pi family, Jiting.

Jiting is located west of the Pi family, across the Fen River to the south, and close to the northern cities and towns in the east, including Linfen, Pingyang and other rivers. It is a transportation area.

At this time, on this important ground, military tents kept rising from the ground, becoming a place where large armies gathered and stationed.

Yan Xing attacked the main force of the Huns. After learning that Guo Si's army had broken through the Dahe defense line, it took only ten days to rush back to Hedong County from Meiji Shanyuting.

Before leaving, in order to speed up the marching, Yan Xing collected a batch of horses from Huchuquan. However, Yan Xing was very secretive about the military affairs facing Hedong and kept silent. In order to stabilize the minds of the Huns, Meng Tu and Xu Kun still left behind five hundred cavalry.

Along the way, the horses gathered were not only full of animal power, but also the military's rations.

Yan Xing even had the worst idea in his mind halfway: Guo Si sent troops to attack Anyi, Yan Su, Yan Xing and others were in a hurry and the city fell into an enemy's hands every now and then.

Or, during this period, Guo Si's army came to the city, attacking day and night, attacking hundreds of roads, and capturing the city of Anyi, where the defenders were strictly guarding their lives.

For this reason, Yan Xing even planned to shrink his troops after returning to Hedong and abandon the southern cities. After stabilizing the cities in Linfen, Pingyang and other cities in the north, he would send envoys to summon troops from Henoi and Henan, and Xu Tu recovered the cities in Anyi and other cities.

As for Hongnong's troops, Yan Xing could no longer count on him.

Fortunately, everything hasn't gotten that bad.

After arriving in Hedong, Yan Xing first gathered the troops of Wei Kai, Niu Song and others in Puzi and Qu, and learned that Guo Si's army was still besieging Anyi, and then re-formed the military strategy, moved the Pi family to the south, garrisoned the Jiting army, and began to order the northern cities such as Linfen, Pingyang, and Yangxian to build a large farmland. Fu Ji was strong and gathered at the Jiting in the Pi family.

When Yan Xing learned that Anyi was not captured by Guo Si's army and the remaining civil and military officials in the city were still stubbornly defending, Yan Xing used his troops and became more steady.

The city defense planning of Anyi was carried out by Yan Xing. If Guo Si had no surprise troops to attack Anyi, and the army was pressing forward, and he could not break through the city in one go, Yan Xing would have enough confidence and believe that Guo Si's army could not capture this city that had been strengthened over the years in a hurry.

On the other hand, if Yan Xing had taken the main force of trekking thousands of miles to support Anyi, once he encountered Guo Si's army in the wild, the two armies would have a lot of danger in the battle.

Therefore, Yan Xing changed his military strategy in time. On the one hand, he rested the brigade and ordered Ding Zhuang from northern cities to join the army, distributed weapons supplemented by the Pi iron officials to them, and urgently organized them into auxiliary troops to cooperate with the main brigade.

On the other hand, light cavalry began to be sent out frequently to harass the rear of Guo Si's army. At the same time, envoys were sent to contact the troops from Hanoi and Henan in order to send troops to harass the flanks of Guo Si's army, so that Guo Si's army could not be at peace in Hedong and achieved the goal of alleviating the embarrassing situation of being besieged by Anyi.
