Outside the city, inside the central army's tent.

Yang Zong summoned the generals to discuss matters.

"General, the army has insufficient food and grass, and it can only last for two days at most."

A lieutenant in charge of logistics came forward to report.

Yang Zong frowned. When marching and fighting, food and grass should be the first priority. Once food is short, it will cause serious consequences. "Have the people from the grain transport team not arrived yet? What's going on in the Fucheng? Have you sent someone to urge me?"

"It has been sent, but no news has been received yet."

At this time, the side general He Zhang stood up and said, "General, since the army has insufficient food and grass, our army has been attacking the city for several days, and the soldiers are very tired. It is better to postpone the attack, rest for a few days, and wait for the food and grass--"

"No! You still have a few days off? It's been fifteen days now. Our army has been killed and injured more than half, but it has only broken through the urn city."

Cao Jun looked at Yang Zong sitting in the top of the head with a gloomy face and said sarcastically: "My father also said that General Yang has the qualifications of a famous general. I think that this is not the case. For such a long time, he can't even capture a small county town. What kind of famous general is this? If I had known that I would have gone to General Wen, I guess he has wiped out the bandit leader Chen Sheng now."

"Those who came from poor families are not reliable, and we shouldn't have followed him at the beginning."

"Oh, I really envy that guy who follows General Wen. After returning to Beijing, I'm afraid they will be ridiculed by them."

After a long period of time, and the loss of troops and generals, these noble generals have always been dissatisfied with Yang Zong, and they have risen to the extreme. They have taken advantage of the fact that they have summoned the generals to discuss matters today and broke out directly.

"You are arrogant and dare to despise Shangguan. General, please deal with their military law!"

Cheng Sheng immediately stood up and bowed to Yang Zong.

"You dare! My father is the Duke of the current dynasty, who dares to touch me!"

Cao Jun glared at Cheng Sheng and pulled out the sword on his waist.

"The little general is so arrogant. When our Marquis's Mansion is easy to bully, right? Try it. As long as I lose one hair, I can make you lose your money!"

Next to Cao Jun, another young general stood up. As he moved, almost all the noble generals surrounded Cao Jun, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became extremely depressing.

"Okay! Let me sit down!"

Seeing this tense scene, Yang Zong suddenly slapped the desk in two pieces with a palm. When the personal soldiers who were originally guarding outside heard the movement, they rushed in immediately.

"What, this general's words are not easy to use, right?"

Seeing Cao Jun and those who were indifferent, Yang Zong felt angry and looked at them and said quietly, with a hint of murderous aura in his tone.

Looking at Yang Zong's cold gaze, Cao Jun felt a chill inexplicably, and his skin couldn't help but get goose bumps.

"General, don't act irritably."

A general from the Hujie Army quickly whispered to Cao Jun.

With Cao Jun's current behavior, if it weren't for the father of a Duke, Yang Zong was born as a civilian and had no backer, he would have been dealt with by military law and lost his life. It would be a serious crime to despise Shangguan in the army, let alone the current situation.

Cao Jun was decisive and cowardly. With a step, he stopped insisting. He nodded, inserted his sword back into the scabbard, sat down, and the others returned to their seats one after another.

Yang Zong waved to the personal soldiers and asked them to go out. After a while, he sighed: "This time the siege is not good, it is indeed my responsibility."

"General, why do you blame me? The walls of Yinyang County are almost comparable to those of our prefecture. There are tens of thousands of defenders. It is understandable that we can't capture them with such a few people."

Liu Hong said quickly.

"No matter what the reason, it is a fact that the siege is unfavorable. As the commander of the first army, I naturally have to bear this responsibility. However, I will naturally report to the court for this matter and wait for the end of the matter. So now everyone should think about how to conquer Yinyang County."

Yang Zong also felt that the mouse had no idea of ​​pulling the turtle in the strong city of Yinyang County. The defenders inside were determined to hide in the city wall. No matter what strategy he used, he would never go out of the city to fight.

"If we follow what I said before, we will besieged the city for a month or two, and when they have run out of food, we will naturally leave the city. As long as they dare to leave the city, we will be able to fight and win."

Liu Hong proposed again.

At this moment, a personal soldier outside broke in, holding a letter in his hand, "General, the urgent report sent by the city!"

“Show it.”

Yang Zong suddenly had a bad premonition.

When he opened the letter, he saw his body staggering slightly and fell on the chair.

"General!"

"What happened to the general?"

He Zhang and his friends stood up quickly.

Yang Zong took a deep breath, looked at the generals in the tent, and slowly said, "General Wen was defeated by the Chen bandits in Wugong Mountain. The Chen bandits carried a 500,000 army and headed straight to the city. The Lord of the House asked us to return to the rescue quickly!"

"How is that possible!"

Hearing this, Cao Jun couldn't help but stand up, then walked forward, took the letter from Yang Zong's hand, his face turned blue and white, "Wen Xiu led his troops into the Centipede Mountain and was ambushed by Chen Zhe. The 80,000 troops were wiped out!"

He was a little unbelievable, and at the same time he felt a hot face. After all, he just said that Yang Zong was not as good as Wen Xiu. If he had really gone to Wen Xiu's side before, he might have lost his life now.

"All the generals obey orders!"

Yang Zong stood up.

At this time, all the generals, including Cao Jun, responded in a regular manner: "The last one is here!"

"Tell the three armies to immediately decapitate the camp and return to the city!"

Yang Zong said as he looked at the direction of Yinyang County and sighed slightly in his heart. Unexpectedly, after half a month of fighting, the ending ended like this.

After the military order was passed down, the entire camp began to move. Soon, except for some destroyed supplies, the camp outside the city was left with only an empty and incomplete camp.

The movement outside the city was soon reported to Liu Feng.

"Send a few black armored soldiers out of the city to have a look!"

Liu Feng thought about it and immediately made an order.

Soon, the city gate, which had been closed for more than half a month, was slowly opened. With the rapid sound of horse hooves, three black-armored men riding fast horses rushed out along the city gate. They rushed into the broken camp and observed for a while, and then chased them along the footprints left on the ground.

Not long after, they saw a long army moving quickly towards the direction of the city. Since there were many reconnaissance cavalry behind the army, they did not dare to get too close. After following them for a while, they found that the other party had no intention of staying, so they asked one of them to return to the city first and report the situation to Liu Feng.

"It's not a trap for them to retreat so much, but why?"

Liu Feng couldn't understand that although the opponent suffered losses in the past half month of siege, he had not yet reached the point of retreating, and something he didn't know must have happened.

"Sure enough, you still have to build your own intelligence network sooner."

He looked at the mission reward and said in his heart.
