"How is the battle situation outside, why did the Great Zhou army withdraw?" Ma Chenghui asked a question he wanted to know the most. He didn't believe that Da Zhou would abandon Tianjing Guancheng, and he didn't believe that Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun would abandon the brothers of the Flying Bird Camp. But the situation made him feel confused for a while, so he was eager to know the truth.

"Yes, our Great Zhou army did withdraw first, but this is only an expedient measure. Tianjing Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we launched two or three sieges in a row on the Great Monday, but they all failed, and the damage was numerous. If this continues, not only will Tianjing Pass not be able to be captured, but it will also damage my Great Zhou soldiers in vain, so the retreat is only temporary. The next thing we have to do is to let Li Yan open the city gate and resume customs clearance, and then the elite warriors of my Great Zhou can sneak into the city. I've got the word out about the city through secret channels, and all we're going to do is make the city commotion. ”

"That's the best, what are we going to do. Staying in this besieged city, I am worried every day, and I am really aggrieved. By the way, there is one more thing, Xiao Yujing of the Khitan is also in this city, with his martial arts cultivation, even if my Great Zhou army captures Tianjing Pass, if Xiao Yujing attacks my Great Zhou soldiers, it is estimated that no one can stop it. Ma Chenghui couldn't help but think of Xiao Yujing's existence, and he hurriedly reminded him.

"I didn't expect that the old immortal was also in this city, Xiao Yujing and Yelu Wuji, if these two join forces, who else in my Great Zhou Army can resist it. This information should be sent out as soon as possible, I don't know much information outside the city, I don't know how many martial arts masters there are in the army, Your Majesty is driving this time, if Your Majesty has any accidents, then Da Zhou will be in danger again. Yuan Xiaoliu was also worried when he heard this, and said worriedly.

"Presumably, Ling Gongzi and Ye Shaoxia are also in the army, if the two of them join forces, they should be able to resist one of them, but the rest of them don't know how to resist. Your Majesty must not be without a master by his side, this is probably not something we need to worry about, the most important thing at the moment is how to force the Northern Han general Li Yan to open Guantong City. Although the people in the city are in a panic all day long, the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry. But what's more, the Northern Han Dynasty just wanted to occupy the city, and they couldn't lose the people's hearts because of the city. ”

"What do you say we are going to do, is there any good way for Li Yan to open the city gate earlier?" Ma Chenghui said with a solemn face, he knew the purpose of Yuan Xiaoliu's visit this time.

The two talked for a long time in this courtyard, and then Yuan Xiaoliu left, and Ma Chenghui fell into deep thought alone in that courtyard. He is no longer the down-and-out bandit, after these days, he has grown rapidly, although he has not yet reached the point of being alone, but he has made progress in that direction.

Of course, Li Yanneng was extremely happy and happy, the departure of the Great Zhou army had been fixed for him, only the news that the Northern Han Emperor had broken through Zezhou and Luzhou, he became the hero of the Northern Han Dynasty Alliance's battle against Zhou, if Yelu Wuji could say a word or two for him, then among the entire Northern Han generals, he could be alone.

"Immediately prepare quickly, and pass the news of the retreat of the Great Zhou army to Your Majesty." Li Yanneng had to pass on this information in time, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates. Sitting in the tent, the generals who have been following all the way under the seat do not hide the joy in their hearts at all.

"Report to the general, outside the camp tent, there are representatives of the people of Tianjing Pass asking to see you."

There was an announcement outside, and this announcement also calmed Li Yanneng's heart, there is no major disaster now, but there is still a big deal to deal with. In his heart, he had long wanted to open the city gate and resume customs clearance, but he was afraid that Da Zhou's spies would sneak into the city. There were also several Da Zhou's spies in his barracks, so his luck was very good, and the success of the sneak attack also gave him an unexpected surprise, that is, he caught several Da Zhou's spies.

He didn't get any information from the mouths of those Great Zhou spies, those Great Zhou spies didn't eat hard and soft, and they were really iron-clad. It's just that if they know that their Great Zhou's army has retreated, will they still hold on to such a stubborn spirit, he wants to know what kind of expression they will have when they know it.

"Let them in, it's time to have a good talk, and this matter should be dealt with."

Li Yanneng didn't expect that there were dozens of people in the tent as soon as he entered the camp, except for a few young and strong guys, the others were some old people. There were silver-haired old men, and there were also old women with staggering steps, all of whom had angry expressions, like the flames of a volcanic eruption, which made him fall into a headache again.

"General Li, the battle between the two armies can't harm us ordinary people, you must know that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, the Northern Han army is so good to the people of Tianjing Guancheng, do you want to make the local people of Tianjing Pass extinct."

"Whether it is the Northern Han Dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, our Pingtou people have lived here for generations, but this practice is simply a loss of conscience and a violation of heavenly principles."

"Whoever brings calamity to my people will be intolerable and will be damned."

•••••••••••

Before Li Yanneng could speak, the representatives of the people of Tianjing Guancheng who entered this tent said with indignation at what you said and what I said. Their eyes were full of resentment, and the saliva they spewed out was a little more spectacular than the scene of the spring rain. For a while, the Northern Han general couldn't interject at all.

"Okay", Li Yanneng saw that he couldn't interject, and couldn't help but shout. Then he said to the people, "Everyone, be uneasy. As soon as you entered the tent, you made a lot of noise and asked Ben what to do. I, the Northern Han Dynasty, am also a Han Chinese, and I will definitely not do anything that violates the principles of heaven. Your intentions will be very clear, and I will think twice about it, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. What do you want, please say them one by one, so that Ben will discuss them, how about it? ”

Everyone was shocked by the loud shout of the Northern Han general, and they stopped their mouths one after another, and after listening to Li Yanneng's words, a trace of surprise flashed on their faces. Although the Northern Han Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom were hostile to each other, they did not expect that the Northern Han generals did not blast them out, and they were very peaceful.

"General Li, your Northern Han army aided and abused me, so how many women in Tianjing Pass City lost their innocence and lives, don't you Northern Han army give me an explanation. We have only one request, that is, to open the city pass, restore the passage to the outside of the city, and severely punish the thief, and return my Tianjing Pass and other women to a clean and fair life. ”

An old woman with silver hair, supported by a young man in the prime of life, walked past the crowd and moved forward. She stomped the crutches in her hand and shouted to Li Yanneng resentfully, and under the silver thread on her head was a face of absolute vicissitudes, as if she had put her life on the line.

When Li Yanneng heard this, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, it was already good to be able to open the city gate and clear the customs, and these Diao people would have to severely punish Yelu Wuji. That Yelu Wuji is not something that ordinary people can move, how can he have the audacity to talk about Yelu Wuji's sin. This group of untouchables who don't know whether they are alive or dead is simply whimsical, if it weren't for the retreat of the Great Zhou army, he wouldn't even open the city gate, let alone let a civilian go out of the city.

"Li is going to be the master for us, my daughter has not yet left the cabinet, she has encountered this difficulty, there is no heavenly reason." As soon as a simplely dressed couple arrived at the old woman's angry words, they immediately let out a wailing sound like crying and screaming. Obviously, there were not many family members of the victims present, and they were all full of indignation.

With a wave of his hand, Li Yanneng's face sank, and he shouted angrily: "The general has already been considered for customs clearance and restoration, and you are still not satisfied with the repeated embarrassment of the general, if you want to deal with the thief, it is not the general's current position." What else do you want, come quickly, this general is busy with affairs, and he has no time to deal with your unreasonable request. ”

Seeing that Li Yanneng was angry, everyone was silent and trembling again, and only a few sobs could be heard. War is inherently cruel, and it is always those vulnerable groups who are injured, how can they not understand this truth, but their families have blood feuds, where can they seek revenge.

Ma Chenghui mingled in the crowd, his gaze swept over the burly Northern Han general Li Yanneng, and finally fell on the body of the deputy general who stood straight behind the Northern Han general. Yuan Xiaoliu had a wry smile on his face, so far, he still hadn't found out the whereabouts of the arrested members of the Flying Sparrow Battalion.

Gao Chengde supported his mother, and he did not hide his hatred for the Northern Han Army in his eyes, but his hatred was like a wave in the waves, and he couldn't attract the attention of others at all. Hearing Li Yanneng's perfunctory remark, he couldn't help but feel heartfelt sadness in his heart. If he had the opportunity one day, he would definitely kill this Northern Han general with his own hands, if it wasn't for the command of this Northern Han general, how could his beloved be murdered.

Xiao Yujing was also mixed in the crowd, he looked at each other coldly, he didn't want to make up for such a bustle, but he was helplessly pulled by the mother and son of the Gao family. With his status, he is considered an ordinary civilian, and if it is spread out of the rivers and lakes, he will definitely be laughed at and generous.

Li Yanneng's patience is limited, he can't become the parent official of this city, he is a great general, a general who controls thousands of soldiers. Galloping on the battlefield is his profession, attacking cities and conquering land is his credit, and he has no good feelings for these ordinary civilians.

Seeing the group of civilians leave the camp, Li Yanneng's heart suddenly relaxed, and when he looked up, he found that the young man who was holding the old woman looked at him. He saw the endless resentment in the other party's eyes, and he also saw the strong killing intent in the other party's eyes. But all this was ignored by him, an ant-like figure had not yet been taken into his sight, and if he had been in normal times, he would have killed the young man long ago.

Tianjing Guancheng is boiling again, this time the unsealing switch came so timely, many people in the Guancheng have run out of food. As if knowing the hearts of the people in the Tianjing Pass City, the dim sky began to drizzle one after another, and the drizzle swept through the hearts of everyone in the Tianjingguan City. Like a soft drizzle, it began to moisten everyone's long-dried hope.

The streets of Tianjing Pass began to be lively, and all kinds of people began to run outside the city, and of course all kinds of people came from outside the city to the city. The street has returned to its former bustle, and the sound of shouting can be seen everywhere, and in just two short days, the street has been prosperous.

After Li Yanneng released the switch through the city, there was always some faint uneasiness in his heart, and he couldn't say where this uneasiness came from. Standing on the wall of the city gate, looking at the passers-by who were hurrying and walking, his heart suddenly swelled with all kinds of feelings.

Under the city gate, the Northern Han soldiers set up a card to guard strictly, and the people who entered the city could only enter the city after a strict search, and in the past two days, no suspicious people have been found. This made Li Yanneng's heart settle down a little, the news from Zezhou had not yet come, and he could only temporarily guard the dangerous pass of this Taihang Mountain.
