"Kill!" Dong Qing's troops outside the city are still attacking the city.
Tan Zili looked serious, holding a military newspaper in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
"What's going on?" Dong Qingfeng opened the tent in a furious manner, and the voice was heard before anyone arrived.
"Take a look for yourself." Tan Zili directly threw the information in his hand over.
Dong Qing took it over. He was about to ask, now that Tan Zili has defeated Sun Sheng's army, can we discuss the next step after capturing the capital?
But since Tan Zili looked bad, he simply didn't ask.
When he saw the first line, it was about the Xiongnu going south, which made him smile. He felt that this was really a good thing. But after thinking about it carefully, if this was really the only thing, then why would Tan Zili be like this? expression.
Dong Qing patiently looked down again, and then his eyes opened as big as bells.
"What?"
The Xiongnu successively killed nine cities around the capital. Sun Sheng arrived late and led 40,000 soldiers and horses in pursuit, but he was never able to catch up.
After reading this sentence, he finally understood why Tan Zili looked like he had eaten shit at the beginning.
"This Marshal Sun is still as cruel as before, leaving no room for him!" Dong Qing's face was so dark that ink could almost flow from his face.
He threw the so-called battle report directly on the candle, held it in his hand and watched it burn down bit by bit before turning around again.
"Since Marshal Sun wants to play a cruel trick with us, what should we do now?"
Tan Zili shrugged helplessly and stood up: "Isn't the solution simple? If we immediately forge a promotion letter, wouldn't it be over? Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty the Emperor is still recovering from illness and is still among the people!"
Dong Qing raised his head and was silent for a while. After thinking about it, he realized that this was indeed a feasible plan. When he was considering whether to implement it, he heard another battle report.
"Jizhou thought that His Majesty had replaced him, so a hundred cavalrymen came out from the southwest just now. The general at the head, wearing a white armor and holding a red tassel spear in his hand, had already entered the city! I'm afraid the news will not come soon. It will spread throughout the city!"
What? !
This time, not only Dong Qing felt that the development of things was a bit unexpected, but even the calm Tan Zili seemed a little embarrassed and uneasy.
But after a while, he calmed down again.
Although he frowned, his brows remained firm.
In his view, no matter how good the plan is, there are flaws. As long as you dare to bet, as long as you dare to fight, there will definitely be a way to survive. Even if it is Qimen Dunjia, even if it is innate Bagua, there is a way. It must be a student.
It's just that he has been thinking about it for so long, and he is not satisfied with just completing a thousand-mile run and returning safely like a bereaved dog.
What he wants to do, he must seek some benefits before he can escape unscathed.
He just stood there quietly, his eyes deep.
Dong Qing naturally knew his temper, so when he saw his expression, he didn't bother him, but chose to stand aside.
Now we are in a dilemma.
No matter what choice he makes, he will face enemies from both sides, which is an ugly situation.
I was full of confidence because I wanted the mantis to catch the cicada, with the oriole behind, but I didn't expect that I would become a lamb to be slaughtered and a captured mantis.
"I really didn't expect that after such a long detour, we were the prey that was targeted in the first place! If the capital doesn't capture our own troops, it may be difficult for us to return safely!"
Dong Qing is also a little anxious, but for so many years, he has relied entirely on the intelligence team and Tan Zili, who is an outstanding person in front of him.
If he had been left to make overall arrangements, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be where he is today.
"It really doesn't work. If we still want to make a comeback, it depends on what the capital city wants!"
Tan Zili slammed the sword on his waist to the ground, pointed in the direction of the capital and said.
"If not, we can simply surrender directly to the capital. Even if our troops are asked to rush to the front line to defend the city, we have to accept it!"
"But wouldn't that also be equivalent to sending our troops into the hands of others? How do you expect me to make a comeback after this?"
Tan Zili sighed, collected his thoughts for a while, and continued: "As long as we can enter the capital, do you think there will be fewer opportunities for us to change things with our hands in the future?"
Dong Qing hurriedly expressed his objection: "No matter how many or how little, you have to know that the commander-in-chief in the capital is able to carry out a defense battle with such a small number of people to this point. That is really the best in the world." Talented man!
"We have been suppressing it with the advantage of numbers outside the city, and relatively speaking we have not suffered too much loss. But once we enter the capital, once we are nominally under their control..."
Tan Zili remained silent. He knew this very well, but did he have any other choice now?
Although the Xiongnu group had no rules in fighting and could only charge bravely and without fear of death, this attack was extremely planned.
As long as all possible reinforcement routes around the capital are blocked, even if he passes the battle report back in time, it will be difficult for his own troops to come to the rescue.
In addition, Sun Sheng's side seemed to be pursuing them, so they must have left a lot of troops to block the way where reinforcements might appear.
After all, both sides are gambling to block the other side's retreat and bury all the other side's current vanguard troops here!
Although Sun Sheng's troops looked strong, they were not his most elite soldiers after all. Being defeated by them could only be said to be a loss of vitality, but not at all!
But this time, he really stood on the casino table like a gambler, betting on everything that should and shouldn't be pressed.
Unless he can capture the capital in time now, what he will face is that even he will be taken away!
And the biggest variable lies in Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who is known as the second hero in the world.
From the beginning, Li Jing had already calculated that this person might become a big variable.
Although I only learned about this person from intelligence, I dare to infer that he must be brave and good at fighting, and he is the kind of stranger who dares to challenge the entire defense line on the opposite side by himself.
This kind of person can usually be the weakest link and the strongest nail. Once the nail is nailed, it will be a steel plate that no one can shake.
It was based on this consideration that he sent a wave of troops to intercept at the border, trying to use the geographical location to best block it.
But he may not have imagined what a brave general Zhao Yun was!
