Day after day, Shuoliang had been besieged for more than half a month, and the court of Qi State was in chaos. Apart from defending to the death, they had no choice but to abandon the capital, and there was not much difference between the two paths.

Xu Zheng is short of food and grass, seeing that Zhengye Pass is about to lose its hold, and if he retreats, he will be Huaiyan Pass. When you arrive in Huaiyan, you will be attacked from both sides.

Now that Shuoliang is under siege, it is extremely difficult to pass on news, let alone supply Xu Licensing.

Xu Zheng has become a lone army. If Shuo Liang's difficulties are not solved, Xu Zheng does not know how long he can fight.

On the other side, it has been a few days since Qi Guoshu was secretly sent to Zhou Guo by the Office of Occupation, but there was no reply from Zhou Guo, Marquis Xun An did not withdraw his troops, and Fu Shouguang could not return to help.

A few days ago, the Accounting Office captured Tang Ling, the eldest son of Marquis Xun'an, but he was sent away. After counting the days, he should have returned to Marquis Xun'an's side. Now that Qi State has no chips in hand, if the land is ceded, Zhou State will not be able to stop the war and retreat. Then... everything is over.

It was late at night, and the emperor of Qi State was sitting alone on the dragon chair, and there was no one under the jade steps. He had been in charge of Qi State for 30 years, and he had Xu Zheng and Fu Shouguang, two commanders of the country, guarding the country for him. He never imagined However, the destruction of a country turned out to be in less than half a year.

What did he do wrong?Could it be God's will?A god of killing descended from the sky in Chen Guo, the appearance of the sky wolf, and Xiao Gu's hope of starting a prairie fire are all predestined?

The three kingdoms of Chen, Zhou, and Qi have checked and balanced each other for a hundred years. Why is the balance suddenly broken? Chen and Zhou were fighting each other to the death a year ago, but now they join hands to attack Qi? !

The Office of Accounting said that it was because Tang Ling, the son of Marquis Xun'an, entered Chen as a hostage and went north with the King of Chu.

Years ago, when the vanguard army of the Chen Kingdom ventured into Qi when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, the King of Chu brought his son Xun Anhou with him, and he was also the one who guarded Bashan for the King of Chu later on.

It's all because of Tang Ling, the son of Marquis Xun'an!

If Tang Ling can be caught, there is still a chance!But now the accounting office can't even find a single person!This is in the territory of Qi State, and he was allowed to escape!

Is the sky going to die?It's God's death!

The emperor of Qi came out of the hall step by step, standing on the high steps overlooking the undulating black tile cornices of the imperial city, as if at this moment, he realized for the first time that the imperial city was so lonely and gloomy.

"Report! Urgent military report! Urgent military report!"

The city guard in armor ran all the way, holding the scroll in his hand, and ran all the way from the gate of the palace to the main hall. If he hadn't been shouting loudly, the black figure would have been almost undetectable in the black night.

The emperor of Qi's forehead twitched sharply. He subconsciously felt that it must be bad news. He could no longer accept any bad news. He turned around and walked back to the hall, trying to hide.

The internal officials blocked the city guards from the main hall, and in the end the bad news did not reach the ears of the emperor of Qi.

Masano Pass is broken.

The license was returned to Huaiyan.

On the second watch day, military ministers filed into the palace, one by one kneeling side by side in front of the Qi emperor's bedroom, begging the emperor to withdraw from Shuoliang.

The emperor huddled in the bedroom, and said no answer, as if he couldn't hear it.

The sky was falling, and he couldn't bear it.

"You all get out of the way!"

"Second Prince, His Majesty has ordered that no one should be seen."

"Get out!" The second prince raised his leg and kicked the eunuch standing in front of him to the ground, pushed open the door of the bedroom and rushed in.

"Father!" The second prince entered and knelt down directly to the emperor, "Father, Yun Erchen, please lead the army!"

The emperor of Qi was about to scold the second prince, but he was completely dumbfounded by his words, leading the army?What kind of army do you lead?

"What did you say?"

"Father, the Yaoshan Army only has 4 to [-] people, and they are all mountain peasants and mobs, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Please father, emperor Yun'erchen, to lead the Mu family's [-] troops out of the city to retreat from the enemy!And rushed to Huai Yance to promise the general! "

"You...you want to take away the [-] troops from the Mu family?"

"Father, Shuoliang has [-] imperial troops and [-] city guards, which are enough to protect the imperial city.

But if all the 10 people of General Xu Zheng are lost, I will have nothing to rely on! "

The emperor slumped on the dragon chair and smiled wryly: "Those people outside are begging to move the capital."

"Father! My son personally leading the army will definitely boost the momentum of our army! If my son loses, there is still time for my father to plan to move the capital!"

"……Can you make it?"

When Fei Ge sent the letter to Shen Lu, a group of them were drying clothes around the fire.

Last night, Tang Ling was careful. When it rained, he found a piece of oiled paper to wrap their clothes. Although the whole thatched hut was soaked in water, their clothes were dry.

Now that the rain stopped, I changed my clothes so that I wouldn't be too embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ling looked at Shen Lv.

Shen Lv handed the letter to Tang Ling, and said, "The emperor of Qi ordered the second prince to lead the army to help."

There is no need for Shen Lv to say anything more. Tang Ling and Qi Xiao both know that the situation is urgent. Although the Yaoshan Army has surrounded Shuoliang, but the Qi army is fighting to the death. of.

What's more, Yan Chuan and the others are the only ones in Yaoshan's army, without Qi Xiao in charge, they are even more powerless.

Tang Ling looked at Qi Xiao, waiting for him to speak.

"Looks like I have to go."

Qi Xiao lowered his head slightly, avoiding Tang Ling's gaze, as long as Tang Ling said that he didn't want to leave him, Qi Xiao would leave everything behind and go with Tang Ling, but he knew Tang Ling wouldn't say that to him.

Tang Ling slightly opened her lips, which eventually turned into a sigh.

No matter how much we pull, we will eventually be separated.

But go to Mo Fu to ask, Baiyun endless time.

Chi Yue pulled Zong Sheng up, quietly went to lead the horse, leaving Tang Ling to face Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao suddenly looked up at Tang Ling, and stretched out his hand.

Tang Ling held him by the hand.

It's clearly a short distance, and it's clearly hands that are tightly intertwined. Why is it so difficult? !

"Will you wait for me? Wait for me to find you."

"I wait."

It's okay to wait for a lifetime, if you can't wait, at worst, wait on the Naihe Bridge until he comes.

"Then I will trust you again."

Qi Xiao slowly let go of Tang Ling, turned around and walked towards Zong Sheng and Chi Yue, got on his horse, and rode away without looking back.

As if just a moment ago, Qi Xiao still galloped towards him like that.

The horses ran so fast that they disappeared into the woods in a short while, and the hooves of the horses could not be heard.

"My lord, let's go too.

I have ordered people to spread the news about the destruction of Fu Shouguang's grain and grass, and I will do my best for the king of Chu. "

"...Let's go."

Tang Ling didn't expect that the parting this time would be so easy, Qi Xiao walked so quickly that he didn't even have time to be sad.

It seems that Qi Xiao just left for a short while and will be back soon.

Tang Ling always seemed to be waiting for him to come back, waiting in the same guild hall, waiting in Bashan, waiting in the barren mountain and old forest where the name is unknown... He said to wait, and Qi Xiao would come to him, so it's okay to wait. It doesn't matter.

On May [-]th, the day before the summer solstice, Tang Ling crossed the Liujiang River.

On the same day, Tang Yao, Marquis of Xun'an, withdrew his troops from Liujiang, stationed in Sanzhou, and demanded to take over the power of Sanzhou based on the credentials of Emperor Qi.

The garrison in the three states had been wiped out long ago by Xun Anhou, and there was no room for resistance at all. Anyone who dared to speak back had their tongues cut out. Once such thunderous tactics were used, not only the three states, but no one in the three states and five counties to the east of the Liujiang River dared to fight. .

The fighting in the east of Liujiang subsided, but other parts of Qi State were still in dire straits.

The second prince led the army to rush out of the encirclement of the Yaoshan army, and defeated the Yaoshan army. Extended license.

Qi Xiao led Chi Yue and Zong Sheng not to Shuoliang, but went straight to Yaoshan. He finally asked Chi Yue to contact Xuanjiying, and ordered Yan Chuan and others to rectify the Yaoshan army and join them at Yaoshan.

The battle between Chen and Qi is time for a showdown.
