At a quarter of an hour, a calm-looking Murong Qingwu slowly walked out of the room, then smiled at Pei Zhixiu who stood up to see him off and said:
"Sister Pei, please stay! My sister will come to visit another day..."
After saying that, Murong Qingwu bowed to Pei Zhixiu, then turned around and left with the maids. Pei Zhixiu watched with a complicated expression for a moment, and then returned to the room. At this time, a hidden gaze, but still Quietly watching Murong Qingwu leave.
At midnight, just when An Miaoyi had coaxed Xiao Jingren and was about to go to bed, Qi Qige walked into the room, handed a small note to An Miaoyi, opened the small note and decided to go to bed. Look, although his expression has not changed much, a pair of watery eyes are showing a little solemnity.
Seeing that An Miaoyi didn't speak, Qiqige couldn't help but take the initiative and said:
"I knew it was not normal for Murong Qingwu to fall asleep during this period. She almost fell asleep at the old lady a few days ago. Sure enough, she is now looking for Pei Zhixiu again. She must be pregnant with the little bastard!"
Listening to Qiqige's indignant words, An Miaoyi didn't say anything but asked:
"The message was sent by Grandma Zeng?"
"No! She sent it!" Qiqige explained:
An Miaoyi nodded slightly when she heard this. Seeing this, Qiqige said with some pride:
"Even if this slut is so cunning and wants to drink Madam's foot-washing water, she would never have imagined that Madam Zeng was the one who deliberately let her find out. This slut is just as Madam expected, pretending to be everything. She looks like she doesn’t know, but she doesn’t know that you, Madam, have arranged a chess piece beside her..."
After finishing speaking, seeing that An Miaoyi had not yet made a decision, Qiqige could not help but anxiously dissuade her:
"Madam, as the old saying goes, you should never stop being disturbed by him! Although your Excellency loves Mr. Jingren, he has never made a decision on his fate early. I am afraid he is just waiting for this bitch Murong Qingwu to get pregnant!"
"Now the Murong family has only one chief envoy and one inspector in our Fengwu army. The whole family is proud of the spring breeze and has endless glory. If Murong Qingwu is really pregnant with a son, there will be endless troubles!"
Listening to Qiqige's words, An Miaoyi said nothing but her eyebrows wrinkled. Apparently Qiqige's words also touched her heart!
After thinking for a while, An Miaoyi asked again:
"What else did she hear?"
Qiqige shook her head without thinking and said:
"Bae Ji Soo is too dangerous. If you get too close to eavesdrop on the conversation, she will definitely find out!"
An Miaoyi nodded slightly. Seeing that An Miaoyi never made a statement and looked worried, Qiqige undoubtedly advised anxiously:
"Madam doesn't have much time to think about it. If she waits until Murong Qingwu announces the news of her pregnancy, it will be even more difficult to touch her!"
Regarding Qiqige's persuasion, An Miaoyi, who looked serious, was obviously a little moved, but in the end, reason prevailed and she said to Qiqige:
"Let me think about this matter carefully!"
"lady··············"
Seeing that Qiqige wanted to say something else, An Miaoyi interrupted her and said seriously:
"Qiqige, you are not allowed to do anything without my order!"
Feeling the harshness in An Miaoyi's words as soon as these words came out, Qiqige said reluctantly:
"yes!"

Jiyu, in the city of Shenzhou
In Xu Zhaojie's temporary residence, Gao Song, who had broken out from Shangzhou, was like a victorious general. He put his hands on his hips and said proudly:
"That bullshit Yuan is the number one general in the Fengwu Army! In front of our Lord, he is just a turtle bastard hiding in a turtle shell!"
"That is to say, the cannons of the damn Fengwu Army are so powerful. They fire them every day and every night as if they don't need any money. Otherwise, I would have killed that son of a bitch with my own hands and taken his head off and presented it to our Lord Marquis. Killing Yuan Song is equivalent to breaking one of Ye Mingsheng's arms, and Ye Mingsheng will definitely cry like a chicken, hahaha!"
Speaking of the excitement, Gao Song also burst into laughter with a red face, as if he was not just getting high here, but actually killed Yuan Song.
During his stay in Shangzhou, he was bombarded by the Fengwu Army's artillery every day. The Fengwu Army's artillery shells seemed to be endless. Even if they couldn't hit at all at night, the Fengwu Army would still give you two. I'll torture you so much that you can't sleep well. In such an environment, Gao Song really thought he was going to die in Shangzhou...
Therefore, although he was defeated in Shangzhou and returned home this time, Gao Song was still very excited to be able to come back alive. Just when Gao Song was about to continue chatting, Xu Zhaojie led others away. Entering the room, I saw the towering figure who was talking nonsense just a second ago, but now he was like a mouse seeing a cat, huddled in the crowd with his head hanging down.
Xu Zhaojie ignored Gao Song. After accepting the greetings from his subordinates, he looked around the room and said calmly:
"Two hours ago, the enemy camp raised the leaf flag!"
As soon as these words came out, the Zhennan Army generals in the room were all stunned. The next second, everyone's expressions became serious. Everyone was leading the troops in the war, and it was clear that this meant the rumored Feng Wu. Army Commander Ye Mingsheng has arrived at the front line of Shangzhou.
Although they had known for a long time that Ye Mingsheng would personally lead troops to help, no one expected that Ye Mingsheng would come so quickly!
Looking at the solemn expressions of the generals, Xu Zhaojie continued:
"Ye Mingsheng did not come alone. He also brought his personal guard battalion and the 9th Division of the Fengwu Army, totaling more than 20,000 people. Therefore, the total number of Fengwu Army outside Shenzhou has now been We have exceeded 50,000 people, you can tell us what you think!"
In response to Xu Zhaojie's inquiry, including Gao Song, who had just made wild claims about Ye Mingsheng crying like a chicken or a bird, everyone looked at the nose, the nose, the mouth, and the mouth, the heart. No one spoke first. They were all smart people. Xu Zhaojie doesn't really want to defend Shenzhou. He has left a way out and sent 10,000 troops to Chengfeng County. The question now is how long to defend Shenzhou City... ············
Although everyone is saying that the Marquis is wise and powerful, and uses troops like a god, and Yuan Song is a coward, but everyone knows that under the policy of Yuan Song opening the way with artillery and advancing steadily, Xu Zhaojie's command Ability cannot play a decisive role. Under the thousands of artillery shells from the Fengwu Army, Shenzhou City is destined to be unable to defend!
Seeing that the generals fell into silence, Xu Zhaojie also realized that the generals did not have much confidence in the next defense of the city, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. However, just when he was about to get angry, he gave the generals a While the chicken blood was being beaten, a messenger rushed into the room very recklessly. Seeing this, Xu Zhaojie was about to curse. However, before she had time to speak, the messenger rushed to Xu Zhaojie in a panic and said:
"Your Majesty the Governor, this is a letter from the General Soldier of King Anqing!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhaojie suddenly had some bad premonitions. At this time, he didn't bother to scold the messenger, but took the letter and read it carefully.
After only reading a third of the content of the letter, Xu Zhaojie felt like the world was spinning, and his anger rushed straight to Tianling Gai. Just when he was about to explode, he felt that all the generals in the room were looking at him secretly, and realized that this After a while, Xu Zhaojie became calm again. After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, he raised the letter in his hand and said with a big smile:
"Songhe wrote to me, saying that they defeated the Fourth Army of the Fengwu Army that invaded Anqing, and all these rabble-rousers have been driven out of Anqing... ········”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals became excited and gave Xu Zhaojie a rainbow fart. Even a few smart people saw some clues from the change in Xu Zhaojie's expression. At this moment, they pretended not to know anything and followed along. Praise Xu Zhaojie.
Xu Zhaojie held this meeting originally to arrange the next combat deployment, but at the moment he was not in the mood to do this at all. He was thinking about the letter that he had not read yet, so he ended it hastily. After everyone left the room during the meeting, he continued to look at the letter Wang Songhe sent him with full of pain and regret.
The letter was written by Wang Songhe to Xu Zhaojie from Anqing City three days ago. There are many words in the letter, but to summarize the main meaning is:
Zhao Daqi, the general of the Zhennan Army who was sent to support Anqing, ignored Wang Songhe's dissuasion and insisted on leading his troops out of the city to pursue the Fengwu Army in order to gain credit when the Fengwu Army failed to attack the city. As a result, he fell into the Fengwu Army's treacherous plan. Not only Zhao Daqi He died tragically on the spot, and most of the 30,000 Zhennan troops who came with him were also killed or wounded, and thousands more were captured by Fengwu troops.
After this battle, the defensive strength of Anqing City was greatly reduced, but the Fengwu Army attacking the city was supplemented by a batch of artillery, which almost doubled the firepower. Anqing City became more and more critical, so Wang Songhe asked Xu Zhaojie to return for reinforcements. Anqing, otherwise Anqing would probably be captured by the Fengwu Army.
Seeing this news, Xu Zhaojie was furious. He never thought that before he had time to fight Ye Mingsheng, his home base would be taken away by the Fengwu Army... ·············
Rest assured letter Xu Zhaojie roared with great grief and anger:
"Zhao Daqi, Zhao Daqi, you bastard ruined my big event!"
Although he was extremely angry, Xu Zhaojie knew that he had to calm down at this time, otherwise not only Anqing might be lost, but he himself might even die tragically at the hands of the Fengwu Army.
Xu Zhaojie took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in his heart. His mind returned to rationality and he began to reinterpret the current situation.
With the emergence of Ye Mingsheng, the strength of the Fengwu Army on the Hebei-Henan front has also increased. At this time, the Fengwu Army around Shenzhou has at least 50,000 people. This time Ye Mingsheng sent his personal guard camp to I also brought them with me. This unit can be said to be the elite of the Fengwu Army. Although it only has a size of 3,000 people, its combat effectiveness is very strong, and one thousand of the 3,000 people are cavalry. Therefore, these people With the addition, the Fengwu Army in front of them can form a cavalry force of two to three thousand people.
Although their number is not large, with their high mobility, it will be very troublesome for them to get entangled once they withdraw from Shenzhou!
Yes! At this time, Xu Zhaojie had already begun to consider giving up Shenzhou City now. Although he had never thought about defending Shenzhou City, for the sake of the overall situation, Xu Zhaojie had planned to defend it even if he could not hold it before receiving the letter from Wang Songhe. Staying in Shenzhou for ten days and a half before withdrawing, it can be regarded as buying some time for Shangguan Hongyuan!
However, after receiving Wang Songhe's letter, Xu Zhaojie, who realized that he was in danger, could no longer take care of Shangguan Hongyuan. As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. At this moment, it is more important to save his own life... ···············
According to Wang Songhe's letter, there were 100,000 Fengwu troops under Anqing City. Xu Zhaojie did not believe this number. He knew that Wang Songhe was exaggerating. On the one hand, he wanted to ask for help, and on the other hand, it was also for his future. Abandoning the city and escaping as a pavement did not mean that he, Wang Songhe, was not desperate, but that there were too many enemy troops and Anqing City could not be defended at all!
Although he did not believe that the Fengwu Army attacking Anqing had 100,000 people, Xu Zhaojie simply calculated that the Fengwu Army gathered 35,000 Qi Army soldiers and became the Fourth Army. Together with the 8th Division of the Fengwu Army, this At that time, there should be 50,000 to 60,000 Fengwu troops under Anqing City.
After Zhao Daqi suffered a major defeat, the number of defenders in Anqing City was less than 10,000. Currently, Wang Songhe has recruited young men in the city to defend the city together, but these young men alone cannot stop the Fengwu Army!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaojie closed his eyes in pain. He knew that Anqing, the place where he started, would most likely be taken away by the Fengwu Army this time!
After taking Huainan, although Xu Zhaojie relied on Huainan's superior economic foundation to expand his army by tens of thousands, bringing the total number of Zhennan Army to more than 100,000, he also brought his troops to a new peak. This is what Xu Zhaojie dared to do. This time going north is where I have the confidence to compete with Ye Mingsheng.
However, more than half of Xu Zhaojie's more than 100,000 troops were newly recruited soldiers. Xu Zhaojie, who was full of lofty ideals when he went north this time, also used his best troops and basically brought with him all the old troops who started in Anqing. The purpose is to support Shangguan Hongyuan while also reaping the benefits when Ye Mingsheng and Shangguan Hongyuan are fighting each other... ···············
