In the letter, Chu Zhao specifically told Zhang Xingzhou to be careful and pay attention to safety. He also said that he would rather go through more troubles than put himself in danger.

Xiao Chi saw that she valued Zhang Xingzhou so much, so he simply showed the letter to Zhang Xingzhou.

Zhang Xingzhou did not expect that Chu Zhao would mention him in his letter to Xiao Chi and write so many words of concern for him.

While he was moved, he was also worried that Xiao Chi would be unhappy, so he explained specifically: "The princess just cares about her subordinates, and has no other intentions."

Xiao Chi laughed, but said meaningfully: "Does General Zhang have one?"

Zhang Xingzhou was stunned: "What's there?"

"You have other intentions," Xiao Chi said, "Does General Zhang have other intentions for my Azhao?"

Zhang Xingzhou's heart skipped a beat and he quickly denied it: "No, I didn't."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Ah Zhao doesn't have it." Xiao Chi said with a proud face, "My Ah Zhao is so outstanding and deserves the favor of all the men in the world, but she only likes me."

Zhang Xingzhou: "..."

Was he doing it to show off?

It's certainly worth showing off though.

"What did you find out in the city?" Xiao Chi finished showing off his love and got back to business.

Zhang Xingzhou's expression became solemn and he told him one by one what he had heard in the city.

"The Xirong army that occupied Xining City was led by the second prince of Xirong. This man is brave and good at fighting, and has a murderous nature, but he is also very happy with his success. Because his brother lost the victory in Liangzhou, he is very proud now and throws a big banquet. To celebrate his success, he not only selected many beautiful girls from the city for him and the soldiers to have fun, but also tied some old people and children to pillars as arrow targets for the drinking ceremony."

"hateful!"

Xiao Chi got angry when he heard this and punched several cases hard.

He has fought countless battles, seen too many people who suffered as a result of wars, and seen too many people who were tortured to death by the enemy, but every time he heard about it, he could not help but be filled with righteous indignation and his heart was twisted like a knife. .

Based on this alone, the second prince of Xirong had been sentenced to death in his heart.

The commander Chen Cang who abandoned the city and fled must also die!

Zhang Xingzhou has been guarding Xining for five years, and his feelings for the people of Xining are naturally different. Looking at the tea shaken by Xiao Chi's fist on several cases, the anger in his heart is burning like a fire.

"Go on," Xiao Chi suppressed his anger and said, "Are there any remaining Xining soldiers in the city? Are there anyone you know among them?"

"Yes, yes, but they are all being held as prisoners in a prisoner-of-war camp. The camp is surrounded by heavy soldiers. If anyone is willing to surrender, he can apply to the guards. Those who are unwilling to surrender will be expelled to the martial arts field as a mobile The archery targets are used by Xirong soldiers to practice archery."

When Zhang Xingzhou said this, he couldn't help but get red-rimmed when he thought of the torture his former colleagues suffered.

"The general must have guessed that the reason why my comrades were captured by the Xirong people was because they refused to abandon the city and run away with Chen Cang. With such a character, how could they be willing to surrender to the Xirong people?

Therefore, in a prisoner-of-war camp with more than 100 people, no one surrendered voluntarily, but on the first day, more than 700 people were shot to death on the martial arts field by Xirong soldiers. If the Xirong dogs had not wanted to keep them for fun tomorrow, there would have been only [-] people. He died in one day. "

The nine-foot-tall man began to cry as he spoke, and his throat was choked with sobs that he could no longer speak.

He raised his head to suppress the tears, clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee at Xiao Chi: "The general wants to rescue his comrades in distress, and also wants to try his best to save the innocent people in Xining City. I also ask the general to help me."

"Get up." Xiao Chi bent down and helped him up. "Your comrades are also my comrades. I am also worried about the people you are worried about. You don't need to tell me, I will spare no effort to save them. That's it." That’s why I came back.”

Zhang Xingzhou was moved, stood up and saluted him again: "Thank you, General."

Xiao Chi stretched out his hand to support him: "There is no need to say thank you for protecting our home and country. In this battle, you and I must annihilate the entire Xirong army in order to live up to the name of a general."

"Yes." Zhang Xingzhou choked up and replied, "The general is willing to obey the general's orders, and he will kill all the Xirong dogs."

"Okay, then let's seize the time to refine the plan. After dark, you go into the city again and find a way to notify all the comrades in the prisoner of war camp and ask them to select some people to surrender to Xirong Dog and find a way to obtain the second prince of Xirong. We must trust each other so that we can cooperate internally and externally to advance the next plan.”

Zhang Xingzhou nodded in agreement, and the two sat back in front of several cases and discussed the map in detail.

The two of them are both battle-hardened generals, and they also share the same temperament and temperament. Therefore, they have a special tacit understanding when communicating with each other, and they feel a certain sympathy for each other.

General Xiao brought water in and saw that the two were very speculative. He went out and said to Tie Chui: "The prince is the general's love rival, and Zhang Xingzhou is also the general's love rival. Why does the general have such a different attitude towards these two love rivals?"

Tie Zhui had not yet gotten over the sadness of losing A'ao. He was sitting on the open space in front of the tent basking in the sun. Hearing this, he glanced at him and said, "Is this what you should worry about? I'll worry about you more when I have time." My dear son, if you don’t care about me anymore, you will be kidnapped by other birds.”

General Xiao smiled and sat down next to her: "I am busy serving General Xiao and can't get away. Can't you take care of my son for me?"

"Why?" Tie Zhui glared, "That's your son, not mine. Why should I care about it?"

"Why not?" General Xiao said, "If you marry me, not only will you get a fat son for free, but he will also find a daughter-in-law for you. Where can you get such a good thing?"

"...Get out!" Tie Zhui didn't bother to say anything and told him to get out with a dark face.

General Xiao not only refused to roll away, but also squeezed over and bumped her with his shoulder: "Sister Iron Hammer, you see spring is here, Marshal Xiao has a bird with him, how long do you want me to wait, man?" Youth is also very short, you know?"

"Youth is short? If you don't get out, your life will be short." Iron Hammer picked up the hammer and glared at him.

General Xiao jumped up as if he had been bitten by a snake and ran away.

That night, Zhang Xingzhou used his familiarity with the terrain to enter the city in the dark through the weakest part of the city wall, and sneaked into the prisoner of war camp in the dead of night.

Early the next morning, some people in the prison camp chose to surrender because they could not bear to be used as targets.

The second prince of Xirong laughed wildly after hearing the news: "You said you will not surrender until you die. It has only been two days, but some people can't hold it anymore. Go and bring them up and see if you can ask anything."

The men took the order and left, bringing seven or eight prisoners of war.

The second prince walked past several people holding a leather whip, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes: "You bastards who are toasting and refusing to eat the fine wine. Since you want to surrender, show your sincerity and say some concessions." It’s something that I think is valuable, otherwise, you still won’t be able to survive!”

"I said, I said..."

One of the prisoners of war raised his hand first, as if he was afraid that others would take away his credit, and said urgently, "Last night, a spy from Dayan sneaked into the camp and wanted us to work with him inside and outside to drive you out of Xining City."

"What?" The second prince was shocked and said angrily, "My defense is so tight that a spy can sneak in. Tell me, who is he?"

"It's the former Xining guard Zhang Xingzhou. He said he would come again tonight."

The second prince held the whip, his eyes moved quickly, and after a moment he said: "Okay, tonight I will let someone set up an ambush in the camp. If he comes, you can survive. If he doesn't come, I will Let you see our Xirong warriors’ skills in skinning people alive!”
