The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 629 Night Walk
In the Yamen of Pingshan Mansion, Zhao Yanxun and several thousands of households are listening to Yang Qing's report.

"You mean, you went to Pingshan Mansion and didn't find out anything?" Zhao Yanxun asked with a frown.

Everyone present had this question, but with Zhao Yanxun present, no one expressed their opinion at the moment.

At this moment, Yang Qing was very embarrassed.

All the errands he has done have never made mistakes, but today is really not satisfactory.

"My lord, when I entered Qinggang County, I was taken to the government office by the leader!"

"After entering the city, I wanted to go to the streets and alleys, but the man didn't give me a chance at all, and even showed a posture of attacking if there was a disagreement!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yanxun was even more surprised.

"Go rest first!"

"Yes!"

After Yang Qing left, Zhao Yanxun glanced at the few people present and said, "The Forbidden Army from the north is here too, what are they doing here?"

Cui Xing'an replied: "Could it be that they thought that the Wangfu and the Northern Capitals would attack Hongxi County, so they sent more troops to the county?"

I also heard Wang Cheng say: "The army of Pingshan Mansion is gathered, and the surname Xu will increase his troops instead of withdrawing them. Could it be that he wants to fight our army to the death?"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun said, "It's not impossible!"

"If he wants to fight us to the death, that's just right... to trap them to death in Hongxi County!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun showed a smile: "It just so happens that Liu Shili can participate in this errand together!"

"If he is willing to send troops to besiege Hongxi County with us, it will also prove his sincerity in cooperation!"

"What do you say?"

Everyone replied: "That's very good!"

Zhao Yanxun said: "Well, let Yang Qing go to Qinggang County again and tell Liu Shili that he will besiege Hongxi County tomorrow and ask him to send out five thousand soldiers!"

When the sun was setting, Yang Qing passed the news to Liu Shili.

Sending Yang Qing away, Liu Shili sneered: "Let us send out five thousand soldiers to besiege Hongxi County? It's so good. Once we fight tomorrow, we will be flanked by the imperial army!"

"Even if we can't annihilate the main force of the Yong army, at least we can hold them back and buy time for the attack on Pingshan Mansion!"

With wishful thinking in his heart, Liu Shili was overjoyed, it was as if God was helping him.

"Come here, pass the news to Xu Longsheng, let him cooperate tomorrow!"

…………

As night fell, cavalry from outside Hongxi County returned to the city. These cavalry led away many zombies outside the city today.

Cui Xing'an's troops, who were originally wandering here, faced the Imperial Army

In the city, Xu Longsheng received the second summons from Liu Shili.

After hearing Xu Longsheng read the content of the subpoena, Zhu Jihong said: "This is a clever plan!"

Xu Longsheng said: "A clever plan is a clever plan, and this bastard has no good intentions!"

"Flanking back and forth sounds nice, but who's in front and who's behind? You don't want us to be in front!"

Zhu Jihong said with a smile, "He thought it was just a front and back attack!"

Seeing Liu Shili's letter being thrown aside, Xu Longsheng asked the Qianhu outside, "Have all the brothers sent out come back?"

"Reporting to my lord, they are all back!"

Xu Longsheng said: "Pass down the order, let all the brothers have a meal quickly, and then rest immediately, and no more laughing and fighting... Violators will be severely punished by the military law!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, only Xu and Zhu were left in the hall.

"Old Zhu, this big show is all up to you to sing!" Xu Longsheng said, standing up.

Zhu Jihong said in a deep voice: "It's not easy for you to go to Bei'an Mansion, I'm waiting for your good news!"

"it is good!"

After saying this, the two said goodbye.

As for the plan of this military operation, only their four commanders knew clearly, and Qianhu and others only knew how to act according to the order.

As the night deepened, the entire Hongxi County gradually quieted down, except for the zombies wandering outside the city, who were constantly making unpleasant roars.

The night was dark, but fortunately the cold air was fading away, which made the soldiers guarding the city walls feel much better.

However, as the ice and snow melted, it also meant that the activity of zombies gradually increased, and the danger of outdoor activities further increased.

In the middle of the night, at the first moment of Yinshi (three o'clock in the morning), Xu Longsheng's general order spread to all parts of the city.

Because they didn't know the inside story, all the soldiers were a little confused when the military order was conveyed.

"Go to Bei'an Mansion..."

"What are you doing in Bei'an Mansion in the middle of the night?"

"Yong Jun is nearby, maybe they will call at any time..."

There are discussions everywhere, but fortunately there are thousands of households suppressing it, and there is not much disturbance.

Xu Longsheng's Long Zhiwei was still equipped with two horses each when it was extremely difficult.

Horses have to consume more food and grass. If it weren't for the huge amount of abandoned land outside the city, the supply of food and grass would be a big problem.

After all, too many horses brought a great burden, and Xu Longsheng was miserable, but now it finally came in handy.

Long Zhiwei, Hubenwei and Habayashiwei, nearly 8000 people, rode out of the north gate at this moment.

They didn't light a torch, and they left the city one after another. Even if someone was watching outside, they couldn't figure out how many people came out.

At this moment, Xu Longsheng was already at the city gate, giving Zhu Jihong his final explanation.

"You need to spread more flags, and it is only a moment to be able to hide it for a moment..."

"The dummy on the city wall needs to be moved from time to time, don't really become a dummy..."

The two of them had already discussed these news in detail, but Xu Longsheng was still worried.

It's normal for him to be worried. After all, this time, they have pushed out their wealth and lives. If they fail, they will all die.

Zhu Jihong said solemnly: "Don't worry... I will hold on!"

"See you in Bei'an Mansion!" Xu Longsheng clasped his fists and said.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Jihong said: "It will be so!"

After saying this, Xu Longsheng also got on his horse and left the city surrounded by his subordinates.

And after he left, the [-] Xiaowuwei soldiers who stayed behind also left the city under Zhu Jihong's order.

At this moment, the dummy on the city wall has been set up, and they are going out of the city now, just to deceive people.

After they played, the entire Hongxi County was like an empty city.

After Zhu Jihong sent his men out of the city, he walked a large circle around Hongxi County, and then sent his men into the city.

After entering the city for a while, he sent people out of the city for a detour, and half an hour later let people enter the city again.

In this cycle, they walked for more than two hours, and did not stop until dawn.

He operated continuously like this, and in the current era of lagging information delivery, the scouts who were directly guarding the surroundings were stunned.

People kept going out of the city and the capital, and the direction of going out and entering the city was different, so that it was unclear how many people went out and how many went back.

The four gates of the city of Hongxi County were closed. Zhu Jihong ordered his subordinates to make meals and rest, and strictly guarded the four gates, so that no one could enter or enter.

And he himself stepped onto the city wall and directed his subordinates to walk on the city wall, which was also done for the eyes hidden outside the city.

Zhu Jihong said to the left and right: "Tell the brothers to eat in batches, and take the lunch with you!"

The purpose of their staying behind was not to confront the Yong army head-on, but to serve as suspicious soldiers.

Once they are found out, they will definitely not be trapped in the city, but will withdraw from the city, and decide whether to fight or retreat depending on the situation.

"My lord, according to the news just sent back, the people from the Northern Capital have already started to act!"

Nodding his head, Zhu Jihong said, "If they moved, it means that the Yong army also moved!"

Looking up at the sky, Zhu Jihong murmured: "Next, it depends on God's will!"

Things have come to this point, the future can no longer be predicted.
