Fortunately, it was Yuan Xi, and the speed of retreat was fast enough.

The arrow grazed his forehead.

Shoot him in a bun.

After piercing the bun, it quickly tied the beam on the tower.

When the bang.

The arrow is three points into the wood.

A jiggling tail note is heard.

Buzzing.

Yuan Xi turned his head and looked at the arrow that was destined to die on the beam, and the whole person showed a trace of fear.

Although he had heard of it for a long time, Tai Shici's archery skills were superb, but today, he could be regarded as truly insightful.

If he hadn't reacted a little more quickly just now, the arrow would have hit his head just now.

If you shoot in the forehead, you're basically dead.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Xi was even more annoyed after seeing that Tai Shici actually dared to do it against himself at this time.

For a while, I couldn't help it anymore, and I didn't have my own energy

Tai Shi Ci who was downstairs in the city was scolded.

"Bastard, the vertical man dares to sneak attack at this time, do you still want to have a little face!"

The two armies faced each other, but Tai Shici's sudden shot annoyed Yuan Xi.

However, Tai Shici smiled coldly, not feeling shameless about his behavior just now.

"Yuan Xi, with an untrustworthy person like you, there is nothing to talk about, I only hate me for not being good at learning, I didn't shoot you with an arrow just now, since you chose to surrender, then you just wait, our army will soon break the gate of this small county town."

"You just wait in this city to die."

After saying that, Tai Shi Ci stopped talking, led Yuan Shang, and retreated from the place downstairs in this city.

Here they were, in the midst of the camp.

Tai Shici came directly to see Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, that Yuan Xi has no intention of surrendering, and he is very determined to fight us to the death here."

Tai Shi Ci briefly analyzed the conversation with Yuan Xi just now.

From their conversation, Tai Shici couldn't see any clues, and felt that Yuan Xi was not afraid at all.

On the contrary, he is very calm and confident.

Liu Zheng naturally heard the conversation between the Yuan brothers just now, although their conversation did not involve the strength of the two sides.

But from the tone of Yuan Xi's speech, and some demeanor, it can be seen that the cruel words Yuan Xi said just now were not bloody words in a hurry at all.

Instead, he was calm, as if the situation he was in now, this desperate situation of being surrounded by a large army and besieged in this city, could not make Yuan Xi feel afraid.

"Something is wrong."

Liu Zheng's face was gloomy.

said a word, so that these generals present were attracted by Liu Zheng's gaze.

The first to speak and follow Liu Zheng was naturally his right-hand man Guo Jia.

"Your Majesty, did you think of something?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Zheng and had already guessed that Liu Zheng should have thought of something, but it was not very clear.

Therefore, a strategist like Guo Jia is needed to come to investigate and give Liu Zheng a detailed reference.

Below, Zhuge Jin, Lu Su and others immediately pricked up their ears, intending to listen to Liu Zheng's thoughts.

Liu Zheng glanced at all the strategists, he really didn't think clearly at this time, if he was thinking here alone, he really had some clues.

Just say it and let everyone present think about it together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should have heard Yuan Xi's words just now, what did you hear from his words?"

Liu Zheng didn't say what he thought directly, but asked these strategists under him first.

Among the strategists present, that is, Guo Jia's identity was the highest, followed by Lu Su and Zhuge Jin.

When Guo Jia hadn't spoken yet, neither Lu Su nor Zhuge Jin dared to speak, after all, the status was here.

Everyone looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia knew that he had to say his opinion first.

immediately opened his mouth and replied to Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, although Yuan Xi's words did not mention the strength of this Lecheng County, I can see from some arrangements on his city tower that he still has at least 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, so he is confident and not afraid of our attack."

However, Yuan Xi guarded the city gate and did not escape, which is indeed a bit strange. It stands to reason that when our army arrived, General Zhang He burned the grain and grass they had looted from Zhongshan Kingdom, and it stands to reason that they should feel nervous. ”

"But here's the problem, the other party obviously has no food and grass, but he can be so calm, obviously there is something abnormal."

Guo Jia also had some doubts, but he was not so sure, but now that he heard Liu Zheng's words, he immediately thought of these after a little summing up.

Even if it's just a suspicion, if everyone is suspicious, then there must be something in it that everyone doesn't know yet.

Otherwise, Yuan Xi would not have been so calm.

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin are still young, but that doesn't mean they don't have ideas.

"Your Majesty, I don't think something is right, then Yuan Xi has a lot of soldiers and horses in this Lecheng County, although our army has arrived outside the city, but the number of our army is not much more than Yuan Xi."

"If Yuan Xi didn't have food and grass, he should be in a hurry, and he wouldn't let us be trapped here. But the fact that he can stay here now shows that he has some back-up preparations. ”

Lu Su said a word, and once again got the consent of several other people.

"Well, yes, Yuan Xi must have a backhand."

"Just, what is his backhand?"

Liu Zheng frowned and fell into deep thought.

If this matter is not understood, then Liu Zheng will not be able to sleep for a few days.

After all, the intelligence on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the slightest omission of something can easily lead to a reversal of the tide of the battle.

Therefore, Liu Zheng must find out the reason why Yuan Xi is so confident.

"Xu Huang."

Liu Zheng shouted and shouted at Xu Huang on the side.

Xu Huang was still in a daze thinking about what Liu Zheng said just now, and when he heard Liu Zheng's call, he immediately came back to his senses.

"The last general!"

"I order you, go and find out quickly, some of the situations that have happened in Lecheng recently, by the way, spread all our spies, expand the area around Lecheng County, and see if Yuan Xi has any reinforcements."

Liu Zheng guessed that Yuan Xi could be so calm, there must be other means, and this kind of means, the probability of reinforcements is the greatest.

If Yuan Xi is not afraid of the siege, he must still have reinforcements, and this reinforcement is very likely to come from Youzhou or Yanzhou on the side.

After all, these are the only two places that can organize troops and horses to support him in a short period of time.

Therefore, Liu Zheng focused on asking Xu Huang to pay attention to the two places of Youzhou and Yanzhou.
