Chapter 159 Desire to siege the city
The significance of destroying the city is not trivial.
Even though no one really believed what Fan Ziruo said during the previous meeting of the Qi army, they all used their own methods to stare at the gate of Luoyue Pass to see if a miracle would really happen.
Finally, a miracle happened.
On the second day after the city was broken, the King of Southwest's order for a meeting of all the Qi armies was spread to all the troops besieging the city along with the horses of the scouts. As the nominal strategist and actual leader of the rear route army, Xiao Bao naturally had to
Attend.
In addition to the weak treasure, Li Jin, as the "confidant" of the eldest princess, also received the order from the Southwest King.
Dozens of senior officials from the Qi army gathered in the military tent of the Southwest King's Army again.
Although He Yunxiao is also the second generation, his level is not high enough, so he can only wait outside the camp for his wife to get off work. For those who don’t know, you might think that he wants to curry favor with the Southwest King. As everyone knows, he is just an ordinary househusband who drives his wife to pick him up from get off work. .
He Yunxiao squatted beside the carriage and observed the ants boredly. Sometimes he was really bored and would cause some trouble for the ants, such as artificially creating a grand canyon or something.
There is actually no suspense about the outcome of this meeting. Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see the development of the current situation.
When the attacking party can easily break through the city, the "indestructible" meaning of Luoyue Pass is of little significance.
There is no need for Qi and Yan to fight to the death for an ordinary city. The best strategy is to negotiate peace and then peacefully decide the ownership of Luoyue Pass.
This meeting didn't last long. After about an hour, Xiao Bao followed a group of generals and walked out of the Southwest King's military tent.
"Brother He!" Li Jin greeted He Yunxiao without any thought or worry.
He Yunxiao pretended to watch the scenery and acted as if he was not familiar with Li Jin.
It wasn't until Xiu Bao came over that He Yunxiao diligently put a coat on his wife, and then stood on the windier side of the Gobi to shield her from the cold wind.
Seeing Xiu Bao's serious face, He Yunxiao asked thoughtfully: "What's wrong?"
"We'll talk about it in the car," Xiubao replied.
He Yunxiao nodded and escorted Xiubao to the car.
"Is there an accident?" He Yunxiao asked Xiubao as soon as he got in the car. Whether it was war or peace at Luoyue Pass could affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
"The King of Southwest insists on attacking the city." Xiubao briefly summarized the conclusion.
"Ah? The city gate was easily breached, so what's the point of fighting again?" He Yunxiao said he didn't understand.
"The Southwest King's intelligence network is more powerful than we imagined. He didn't know where he got the information that the Grand Master was responsible for destroying the city. Then he rejected my peace proposal on the grounds that 'the Grand Master's action is not a long-term solution'
Suggestion. Can the Taoist priest take action again?" Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao thought of Fei Bao's body and said awkwardly: "I'm afraid it won't work."
Fan Ziruo said calmly: "That plays into the plans of the Southwest King. If we can't break the city again and prove that 'we don't rely on the Grand Master,' then this siege battle will still be unavoidable."
He Yunxiao had quite a headache.
In a sense, the concerns of the Southwest King are indeed good. Because of the existence of the Taixu Sect, the great masters cannot easily take action. And there are not many great masters who can attack the city. If you take action once, you will be caught by the Taixu Sect.
If we leave, the two countries will lose a national treasure figure who is a martial arts master, which is equivalent to the lack of a "nuclear weapon" that is not rich enough. No one can afford this loss.
He Yunxiao thought deeply: "The key to the problem is not how many times the Grand Master can take action, but why the Southwest King can get such accurate information so quickly?"
Xiubao did not answer He Yunxiao's question. He Yunxiao told her about the mysterious Grand Master of the Song Xianhui. The answer was self-evident. Either the Grand Master of the Song Xianhui leaked the secret, or there was a spy from the Southwest King in the Yan army.
As far as the current situation is concerned, He Yunxiao does not have Feibao and Xiaoxiao as a card, but even if Xiaoxiao takes action, he still cannot convince everyone that "the great master's attempt to destroy the city cannot last long".
When the Qi army has a great master and the Yan army also has a great master, it only proves that neither side has a great master.
Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao: "For the current plan, we must either find a way to break the Yueguan again, or we can only find a way to force the two countries to negotiate peace."
"Let me try..." He Yunxiao sighed. It seems that it is time to find Mengbao and Mengbao's sister.
Fan Ziruo had a big question mark on his face, "Do you really have any idea?"
Whether it is promoting peace talks or breaking Luoyue Pass again, it seems that it is not a task that He Yunxiao can complete.
He Yunxiao put his arms around Xiubao's small waist and said against her soft cheek: "Why, your husband can't do something about it?"
"Don't show off your strength." Xiubao said silently.
"The lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are at stake. No matter what, I will try." He Yunxiao looked into Xiubao's eyes.
Fan Ziruo relied on her husband. She didn't know when, but she became more and more glad that she didn't like the wrong person in the first place.
"By the way, why does your husband smell so good?"
He Yunxiao looked awkward and determined that Feibao Taixiang had accidentally touched it.
"Ahem, this is a sequelae of Daozhang's technique. The smell will dissipate after a while."
Fan Zi nodded weakly. She had read martial arts novels and knew the style of Taoist priests from the Taixu Sect very well. What's more, Taoist Changsheng was cold-tempered, wind-like Taoist bones, and fluttering like an immortal. He was also He Yunxiao's teacher.
Can you know the law and break it, and deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?
…
After He Yunxiao returned, he began to write letters to Mengbao and her sister Li Xiangjun. The contents of the letters were similar. They were to clarify the interests and hopes that the two countries would resolve the dispute through peace talks and not waste the lives of the soldiers.
After the letter is written, how to send it becomes a problem.
It's easy for Mengbao to send a scout in Li Jin's name, but it's difficult for Mengbao's sister Li Xiangjun. The Marquis wrote letters to the leader of the enemy country during the war. Once discovered, even one life would not be enough to kill him.
Not to mention the consequences of being discovered, it is a big problem to give Li Xiangjun anything.
It would be easy for Dangdang Yanhuang to chat with you, but it would be too difficult for you to find Yanhuang.
He Yunxiao thought of spying on Qi Shilang in the Qi State of Yan, but Qian Shilang's appearance was too powerful, which could easily expose Qian Shilang and make Emperor Yan suspect Qi's motives. After all, Meng Bao used He Yunxiao's relationship to confuse Emperor Yan.
very likely to be.
He Yunxiao thought about it and decided that it would be more reliable for "his wife" to come forward in this matter.
Nangong Yu'er, the daughter of the world's richest man, a defender of the neutral country, and the owner of the Jingtian City branch of Tingfeng Tower. She not only has sufficient influence in Yan State, but also remains neutral, so she is very suitable to "express goodwill."
The main reason is that He Yunxiao and Nangong Yu'er have met before, and their friendship is not deep or shallow, so it is not a big problem to ask her to do this.
After He Yunxiao finished writing the letter, he planned to find a Tingfeng Tower to send it to Nangong, who would then find a way to deliver it to Emperor Yan Li Xiangjun.
A few days later, when everything was ready, He Yunxiao walked into Qing Yuzi's room.
