The scenery of the Wei Palace at this time is pleasant, and the exotic flowers and plants grow luxuriantly.

A woman in palace clothes walked in the meantime, still busy as usual, King Wei loved beauties, so he served him closely as a woman.

However, when it was close to the inner hall, there was a burst of murderous aura.

Rows of soldiers, armed with spears and swords, guarded the inner hall, except for a few beautiful women waiting in the outer hall, it was difficult for others to approach.

At this time, it was still early, and there was still some time before the sun set, and in the inner hall, Xu Wenhui, the king of Wei, sat on it, and a beautiful beauty was beating his legs.

On the table in front of him, there were a few dishes and wine.

In front of Xu Wenhui, several girls wearing only a gauze dress were dancing gracefully barefoot, and there was a string of copper bells at the ankles of the girls, and every movement would bring bursts of clear sounds.

A quiet girl with a white veil is playing the accompaniment. Xu Wenhui is very young, medium in stature, because of the hard work of his youth and the long-term battle, he has a slight trace of wind and frost on his face, at this moment, Xu Wenhui's eyes are slightly narrowed, staring at the few girls dancing in front of him, I don't know what he is thinking.

After drinking some wine, his cheeks were slightly red, and he leaned on the collapse, looking careless.

For the beauty faintly looking at the dancing girl in the nose, it was as if she was gone.

These dancing girls, are gifts from the Wei family, which naturally includes the Fuqin girl, but compared to a few dancing girls, the identity of the Fuqin girl is more noble, she is the daughter of the Zhang family, she has been diligent in learning the piano since she was a child, and has been trained, and she is beautiful in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

However, Xu Wenhui's mind was not on these beautiful girls, "One of his hands was on his lap, and he was beating with the music for a while, and his eyes were a little wandering.

At this time, what he was thinking was not the same as what he was seeing, but several dancers did not dare to slack off, and were still dancing seriously.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall, and there was a burst of talking.

Xu Wenhui's half-squinted eyes suddenly opened: "Who is making noise outside?"

"Your Majesty, let's go out and have a look!" the beauty said when she saw that the king's gaze had finally been withdrawn from the dancing girl.

Xu Wenhui nodded nonchalantly: "Go ahead." ”

"Yes!" As if to show that she is the king's favorite person, the beauty went out, and when she passed by the girl in white, she glanced at it even more obliquely, with a provocative meaning.

Xu Wenhui only leaned on the collapse and looked at it lightly, "I don't care."

After a while, the beauty re-entered from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has sent the concubine away. ”

After speaking, he glanced at a few dancing girls not far away, with a faint look.

Usually, "she has done this before", Xu Wenhui has never pursued it, "but praised her for being smart."

Xu Wenhui frowned slightly and asked, "But what's the matter?"

"What could be more important than the king's rest?" said the beauty with a smile, and came to the king's side, beating his legs.

Xu Wenhui glanced at her, "I didn't say anything more."

But in less than a pillar of incense, there was a commotion outside, "This time the movement is bigger than before."

This time, Xu Wenhui stood up and walked directly to the palace gate, but what he saw was the general Zhang Jie.

"Zhang Jie, why are you here?" Zhang Jie is tall and mighty, with a strong body, just looking at his standing posture, he stands as steady as a mountain, and his eyes are sharp.

He is a major general of Xu Wenhui.

"The last general sent someone to report to the king on military affairs, but he was blocked, the matter was urgent, and the last general had to come over in person and ask to see the king!" Zhang Jiehu was shocked, knelt on the ground, and said.

When Xu Wenhui heard this, his face sank, and he looked at the beauty behind him.

"Bold slut! Who gave you the right to block military affairs? Pull her down and beat her to death!" Xu Wenhui shouted loudly, and the soldiers outside the hall immediately rushed in, but they didn't move for a while after entering.

The woman in front of her is a beauty who has been favored by King Wei recently, but because of her humble background, she has not been canonized for a while, but she is not far from being canonized.

How dare they move such a woman?

Maybe it's just a moment of anger on the king!

"Bastard, what are you still doing? Why don't you drag her out?" Xu Wenhui snorted coldly.

“...... "The soldiers didn't hesitate any longer, dragged her up and left.

This beauty has always been favored by Xu Wenhui's side, and she has lost her sense of proportion, and when she was scolded by Xu Wenhui at this time, she was immediately excited, and her frightened face turned white.

Being dragged by the soldiers, she immediately knew that she was afraid, struggled hard, shook off a few soldiers, and crawled over to Xu Wenhui on her knees, shouting: "The king spares his life! You once said that you would make me a concubine in the future! Have you forgotten those words!"

Xu Wenhui watched her crawl over coldly, but only raised one foot and kicked her out hard.

Then the soldier pounced on her and dragged her down, and the woman's screams faded away.

In the main hall, for a while, the atmosphere became extremely depressing.

Several dancing girls, even the girl who stroked the qin, stood in a hurry, looking at Xu Wenhui in fear, and did not dare to make a sound.

Xu Wenhui turned his head and looked at them: "Still not retreating?"

"No!" several girls heard this, and hurriedly retreated for the rest of their lives.

In the main hall, except for a few warriors, there were only Xu Wenhui, the king of Wei, and Zhang Jie, who knelt in front of him.

"Say, what's the urgency?" asked Xu Wenhui with a frown.

"Your Majesty, according to the information of the last general, the Chu army has captured the port of departure, and there are many armies on the march, although the number is not large, but one of them is already attacking Denghe County, threatening Runan County!" Zhang Jie knelt on the ground and replied, the attitude of the lord just now was very satisfactory to him.

"The Chu army captured the port of departure?" This news made Xu Wenhui's face change.

"What a bunch of rubbish, the table has been dragged down for three days!" After walking back and forth in the hall for a few steps, he turned his head sharply and ordered: "Pass the order of the orphan, let the hundred officials come to the council hall in half an hour!"

"No!"

Xipo County, twenty miles.

At dusk, a team of 100 people marched quickly towards the county seat of Xipo County.

Of these 100 people, 600 of them are all regular soldiers, and there are about 300 logistics soldiers, all of whom are energetic, well-equipped, and marching fast.

"Report!" At this moment, a horse in front of him came quickly.

"Wei Shuai, twenty miles ahead is the county seat of Xipo, the county is heavily guarded, the suspension bridge has been suspended, and the city gate is closed!"

"It seems that Xipo County has received the news of the departure port and is on guard," Wu Xingzong said.

The fast march went to attack Xipo County, in order to control the situation before Xu Wenhui's army moved.

As for the defense of Xipo County, it was expected by them, although it was not clear whether they knew about the departure from the port, but they must have heard the news of the Chu army's large-scale attack.

"Send the order down, speed up, before dark, rush to the outside of Xipo County!" Wu Xingzong ordered, and a sneer appeared at the same time.

If you can get the position of guard, when you have luck, you will fight hard.

Rich and dangerous, no matter what, in this battle, he will take the county!

"How about the defense of Xipo County?"

"Xipo County is located on the border, facing the water, and the defense is much weaker than the fortress, but even so, according to the previous information, Xipo County has 500 soldiers, although they are all box soldiers, relying on the city, it is still quite strong. Tang He said.

Wu Xingzong nodded after hearing this.

Even if the defense is weak because of the proximity to the river, but in the end, it is the county seat, and it is still difficult for a guard to attack this county seat within ten days.

"However, this time the troops are dispatched, no matter how strong the county town is, this battle is still only allowed to win and not to lose!" Wu Xingzong said in a deep voice with blazing eyes.

Ten miles away, a cavalry of twenty men galloped near, came to a hill, and looked around.

The sun was setting in the west, and in less than an hour night would fall, but until then, the army would be able to camp and they would not have to worry.

Wu Xingzong pointed to the county seat with a horsewhip and said: "Look, it is indeed built near the water, and the scale is still very large!"

Looking in the direction pointed, I saw the sunset shining, the county seat in the distance, the farmland in front of the outside, the undulating hills, and the fields that spread for dozens of miles.

Tang He frowned and said: "If you look at it for yourself, the scale of this county is not small, and if you attack it head-on, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take it." ”

Although Liu An was only the commander of the army, he was actually a confidant, and he sighed at this time: "If we attack the city and fight to the death, the casualties will inevitably be heavy." ”

Wu Xingzong smiled and said: "I understand this, the key is how much will to resist in this county, and how much ability the soldiers have." ”

After a pause, Wu Xingzong showed a confident smile and said: "For the way of war, the first is in the general trend, you see, the king occupies the south, and there are four states of Jingyangyi, while Xu Wenhui only has Yuzhou, the difference is several times, don't underestimate this, this is the general trend." ”

"Think about it in a different position, you are the officials of the local county, will you serve Xu Wenhui wholeheartedly?"

"And Xu Wenhui was just a trafficker who sold illicit salt back then, and he was just pacified in Yuzhou, and his foundation was unstable, how could he have enough prestige?"

"In terms of soldiers, we only have a few hundred more on this trip, even if we capture the county seat, it will be a heavy loss, and our way to victory is all to use the king's momentum to coerce him.

Seeing Wu Xingzong talk so calmly, Liu An secretly exhaled.

In the original county seat, Liu An's family still has some assets, although they are brothers, and their faint status is still above Wu Xingzong, but after two years, Wu Xingzong has changed greatly.

Tang He frowned and asked: "Even so, if we encounter the enemy's county order, we are brainless and single-minded to resist, what should we do?

Wu Xingzong looked up to the sky and laughed: "The officials are guarding to the death, what about the county officials and big households? What about the captains of the Xiangbing Academy? Forcing them to death, forcing them to the ground, not worrying that they will not surrender!" !~!
