The fierce fighting in Daxian County had come to a halt after Yun Zhao's Anqing border troops occupied Xingling like thunder. Both Wang Haogu and Jian Shu had lost the motivation to continue fighting.

Wang Haogu no longer has the ability to fight anymore. After more than ten days of fierce fighting, his five thousand direct descendants suffered heavy losses, and the local garrison troops he gathered from various prefectures and counties were now in panic, and all smart people were in panic.

It has been seen that Wang Haogu's situation is over. In the past, a large army was pressing down on the territory, and later Yun Zhao occupied his lair. Their destruction was imminent. But they still did not dare to act rashly, because in Wang Haogu's case,

Behind Gu, there is another big mountain, that is, the Mongolian people. If the Mongolian people send troops to help, it may be a different situation. It is too early to choose at this time, but there are many people in the dark who have already

At the beginning, there was a secret communication with Jian Shu, and some people did not worship the Bodhisattva. Even Yunzhao sent messengers. Of course, the vast majority of people were more optimistic about Jian Shu.

Wang Haogu couldn't go on fighting, but the summary was that he was three-quarters angry, three-quarters surprised, three-quarters indecisive, and another one he couldn't explain. From a broad perspective, this was the time for a massive attack on Wang Haogu.

Haogu, a good opportunity to destroy the opponent in one fell swoop, but the brief description also makes it clear that the last elite soldier in Wang Haogu's hands can definitely bring a huge blow to himself. If he tries his best and exhausts his old base,

, what’s next?

What to do next? Yun Zhao's military deployment is quite intriguing. After the Third Battalion stationed in Guangchang captured Madian, Huo Zhenting's troops who surrendered to the Anqing border army did not leave Madian, but were stationed there.

, this move is very unusual. The fact that the Madian garrison does not move means that they

There are many options. They can come to Daxian to help in the battle, or they can also march into Yizhou City at an extremely fast speed. This army is Yunzhao's core combat strength. Based on the performance of the third battalion in previous battles,

In terms of combat power, the empty Yizhou City at this time is a big piece of fat on the lips.

Briefly describe the need to control Daxian, but never want Wang Haogu to be destroyed. The existence of Wang Haogu prevents the Mongols from directly sending large-scale troops into Yizhou. Once Wang Haogu is gone, the Mongols will have absolute reason to invade in large numbers.

, Yizhou is closed now

Big open. The only sword pass that can defeat the Mongolian cavalry has now fallen into the hands of the Mongols because of Wang Haogu's betrayal. Even if Wang Haogu became Queen of Yizhou, the sword pass was not returned to him. What is the purpose?

, you can understand it at a glance.

Wang Haogu, who is weak but still has a little strength to struggle, is in the best interests of Jian Shu. Jian Shu is now simply unable to cope with the large-scale attack by the Mongols. Once the Mongols come, he will have to defend the city.

This disadvantageous situation is completely inconsistent with his strategy of developing steadily, accumulating strength and then moving forward.

Brief description: Undecided. Fight or withdraw? Let Wang Haogu find a way out. Letting him lead his troops back to Xingling may be a better choice. The Mongols stationed at Jianguan will not just watch the king they have supported.

If Haogu is destroyed like this, the cavalry will definitely be sent to assist in the battle. With the combined efforts of the two, Yun Zhao may be defeated, and with

The combat effectiveness of Yunzhao's army can also inflict heavy losses on Wang Haogu and the Mongolian army. In this way, Madian's third battalion will have to go to rescue Yunzhao and will no longer be able to threaten Yizhou City. More importantly,

, he can take the opportunity to seize Madian, occupy Guangchang, and even go one step further and regain the five counties in the west.

In this way, he and Yun Zhao completely broke up with each other.

"Fight or retreat?" Jian Shu looked at Zhou Guangyi with a simple answer.

"Withdraw!" Jian Jian said without hesitation: "Father, Yun Zhao has evil intentions and wants to benefit from it. If he can do the first grade, we can do the fifteenth grade."

"Do you know the consequences if we withdraw?" Jian Shu asked, looking simple.

Jian Jian sneered and said: "This matter started because of Yun Zhao, so he should be responsible for all this. Let him fight with Wang Haogu and Meng Qi. We will take the opportunity to capture Guangchang and Madian. If Yun Zhao fails,

, we can also take advantage of the opportunity to take over his five western counties and Yulin. Father, I visited the five western counties last time and they are developing extremely well."

"Don't forget, Yun Zhao is very likely to fail as soon as we leave, but he still has more than 10,000 troops in Anqing. What if he categorically abandons Anqing and marches into Yizhou? Then we will be in the same situation and there will be no turning back.

There's room!" Jian Shu said in a deep voice.

"As long as we are fast enough, after taking over the five western counties and Yulin, we will immediately send an elite force to block the Phoenix Mountain. It doesn't matter if he abandons Anqing. The Bayan Har Trail will be the burial place of his army. The best outcome.

He also went to Bayan Har Mountain to become a bandit." He said simply and harshly.

Briefly nodded slightly, his heart seemed to be moved.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" Zhou Guangyi frowned.

"What does Guangyi think?" Jian Shu asked. Zhou Guangyi was not only his trusted general, but also one of the important pillars of the Jian family's army. His opinions must be listened to.

"General Jian, although Yun Zhao's move contains evil intentions, has the general noticed it? So far, we have not been able to catch him at all. In the eyes of the world, Yun Zhao's Anqing border army is working with us to annihilate the king who betrayed Dai Viet.

Loving the past, the Communist Party fought against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and faced such

In this great situation, if we withdraw now, how can we bear the blame? Even the people of Yizhou will probably be dissatisfied with us!" Zhou Guangyi said with some worry. "We are not in the game.

How can we clearly see the entanglement here?"

"Furthermore, I believe that our current common enemies are Wang Haogu and the Mongolian army. Wang Haogu is already a fierce tiger. We must not let the tiger return to the mountain. The Mongols are powerful. Between us and the Yunzhao family, any one of them can face the Mongolian army alone.

No one is an opponent. If we unite, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will suffer two harms." Zhou Guangyi said.

"Uncle Zhou is wrong!" He simply said: "We think this way, has Yun Zhao ever thought this way? If he really has the intention to join us in fighting against the Mongolian rebel king, he will send troops to destroy Ci County, destroy Zhaotong, and seize Xingling

, Xiamadian, grab Guangchang

, has there ever been a prophet to understand us? He is unkind, why don't he allow me to be unjust? The Mongolian people are powerful, are our Jian family army weak persimmons? The soldiers will come, the water will flood the soil, and even if it doesn't work, we can still retreat to benefit.

Go to the state capital."

Zhou Guangyi smiled bitterly, "General Jian, I think we should focus on the overall situation. We and Yun Zhao have the same overall goals. General, instead of being sworn brothers, we can discuss things behind closed doors without having to do anything about it."

Absolutely, once we withdraw, Yun Zhao will be trapped in a dead end."

Listening to the argument between the two, Jian Shu closed his eyes and said nothing. Zhou Guangyi and Jian Jian looked at each other and closed their mouths. They had said everything they needed to say, and the final decision rested with Jian Shu.

"This brother, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it right." Jian Shu said slowly without opening his eyes, in a low voice: "If two families are weak, they are brothers; if two families are evenly matched, they will become enemies.

"

Zhou Guangyi sighed and lowered his head. He understood the meaning of the brief description.

"According to Jian Jian's suggestion, the whole army is ready to retreat. Jian Jian and I will return to Yizhou City first. But Guangyi, you led 10,000 elite troops to retreat fifty miles before stopping to set up camp. I believe Wang Haogu saw signs of our withdrawal.

, he will understand what we mean, and he will give up Daxian and go to Xingling."

"Yes, general, as soon as Wang Haogu leaves, I will take control of Da County."

Jian Shu nodded, "You are in Da County, and the secret world is paying attention to the Xingling war. If Yun Zhao is in danger, you will send troops to rescue him and escort him back to the five counties in the west."

"I see!"

"Father, why is this? If you keep him now that you have already broken up with each other, wouldn't it be like raising a tiger's head?" Jian Jian said anxiously: "If you want to do it, do it thoroughly."

He simply opened his eyes and said, "Shut up, what do you know? Your Uncle Zhou just made it clear that neither we nor Yun Zhao can fight against the Mongolian army. Then we need two people to work together. If Yun Zhao is defeated, let him

Returning to the five counties in the west, Yun Zhao, who has lost most of his troops, will no longer be able to come east. For us, he will no longer be a threat, but his existence can still contain some of the Mongolian troops. Our pressure will be

Smaller.”

"What if he surrenders to the Mongols?"

Jian Shu and Zhou Guangyi shook their heads at the same time, "This is impossible."

If the hatred between Yun Zhao and Meng Ren started out as a simple revenge, then today, the blood feud accumulated over the bodies of thousands of people can no longer be cleansed. No matter which side it is, there will be no reconciliation. Yun Zhao

It is already a symbol of resistance to the Mongols. Maybe the Mongolian people want to make this symbol fall. The best way is for this person to surrender. But judging from the strategy and talent Yun Zhao has shown now, how can he not

Do you understand the reason behind this? Where will the Mongolian army surrender?

"Get ready to retreat!" Jian Shu waved his hand, "You go and prepare, I want to be alone!"

The two bowed and exited the big tent. Only one person, Jian Shu, remained in the empty tent.

"I will not marry anyone else!" he whispered.

The county seat of Daxian County is in dilapidated condition. A section of the 30-meter-high city wall has collapsed and most of it is now built with sandbags, giant trees and other fortresses. Every time the Jian Family Army attacks, this is the focus of their attack, again and again.

The collapse of the city wall and the heavy fortification again and again left behind a mountain of corpses from both sides under the cut-off wall. But now, half of the collapsed city wall is just left there, and no one is repairing it.

The loss of Xingling was a fatal blow to Wang Haogu's troops.

Wang Haogu was sitting on a Taishi chair above the city, his broadsword leaning against him. From yesterday, Anqing border troops occupied Xingling, Huo Zhenting was defeated and surrendered, Pu Demeng was defeated and captured, and Yao Changkun was defeated and captured.

He sat here all the time, from when the sun set to when the crescent moon hung in the sky, and when he sat down again, the moon disappeared, and a faint dawn appeared on the horizon.

"Your Majesty, you'd better take a rest. It's dawn, I'm afraid it will be another hard battle!" A general walked up to Wang Haogu and whispered.

Wang Haogu shook his head slowly: "No, I won't attack." (To be continued...)
