    The moon is like a hook, and the moonlight is cold.

    It was a cold April night, but Cao Xuan couldn't sleep.  Because during this period of time, he was under tremendous pressure.  After all, Wang Qi has not really attacked and is obviously trying to break through in other directions, so Cao Xuan is very worried about the situation in Wudu County and Beidi County.

    Even though he had already dispatched troops, he later arranged for sentinels to inquire about Wudu County and Beidi County to ensure that the information could be obtained in time.

    But now, we haven¡¯t received any news from the scouts yet.

    Cao Xuan wore a large cloak and went straight to the city tower. He leaned on the city wall with his hands and looked at Wang Qi's camp in the distance.  Because the distance is too far, if you look from a distance, you can only see the dots of fire in the distance, and you can't really see what is going on.

    There was a sad look on Cao Xuan's face, as well as a trace of worry.

    The war is temporarily deadlocked.

    In fact, it is not good for Cao Xuan.

    While Cao Xuan was deep in thought, Cheng Lin came to Cao Xuan's side. He looked at Cao Xuan and said slowly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Go back and rest early. The war has come to this point, and there is nothing you can do to worry about it. The only thing you can do now is  , is to wait, wait for the final result. As long as Wudu County and Beidi County hold on, and Longguan holds on. Wang Qi can't do anything to us, Wei will not be affected, and we can wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Everything is done according to personnel.  Just listen to fate.¡±

    Cao Xuandao: "I also know and understand what Mr. Cheng said. But staying in Longguan all day long with nothing to do really makes people anxious. This calmness makes people feel a little hesitant in their hearts. The strength of Qi State is too great.  Stronger."

    Cheng Lin said: "Your Majesty, you are too idle, that's why you are thinking so wildly. Please go and train the soldiers. After a day of exhaustion, you don't have the leisure to think about these things."

    Cao Xuan nodded.

    He agreed with Cheng Lin¡¯s analysis. This was the only thing he could do at the moment, and try not to think too much.

    At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

    But it was Jiang Jiuge who came.

    Jiang Jiuge accompanied Cao Xuan. He followed him in the army, which helped Cao Xuan keep abreast of the situation in various places at any time, so that Cao Xuan could make arrangements.  Jiang Jiuge looked serious and said slowly: "Your Majesty, we just received news from Wudu County and Beidi County."

    Cao Xuandao: "Are they all defeated?"

    When he saw Jiang Jiuge's expression, he knew something was wrong, so Cao Xuan asked like this.

    Jiang Jiuge nodded and said: "Reporting to your majesty, Beidi County and Wudu County were indeed defeated. Among them, Wudu County fell, and the prefect Luo Yuanzheng returned to Qi. Beidi County fell, and the prefect Niu Xing was directly  After being killed, Beidi County surrendered to Qi State."

    "Now the troops arranged by Qi State in Beidi County and Wudu County have all turned around and begun to move towards Hanyang County. Moreover, their retreat is not towards Longguan, but towards the rear of Hanyang County, heading straight towards the Hanyang County seat.  Went to Ji County."

    "Once Ji County falls, Long County will be blocked in the next step."

    "At that time, we will not be able to retreat and will be alone. The current situation is extremely difficult. Your Majesty, please make a decision immediately so that we can respond early."

    Cao Xuan¡¯s expression suddenly changed.

    The situation has become so bad.

    Cao Xuan has always been worried about the situation in Beidi County and Wudu County, and now they have been defeated one after another.  As a result, Longguan, where Cao Xuan was located, was suddenly isolated and his rear was about to be cut off, making it extremely dangerous.

    Cao Xuan¡¯s situation was extremely embarrassing.

    Cao Xuan glanced at the direction of the Qi State camp in the distance and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cheng, what can we do now?"

    The look on Cheng Lin's old face was extremely serious.  The current situation is so bad that it is simply unprecedented.  If you are not careful, the foundation that Wei has just established will be destroyed.

    Cheng Lin thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I now have three strategies: upper, middle and lower."

    Cao Xuandao: "I am all ears and listening attentively."

    Cheng Lin said: "My best strategy is to leave 30,000 troops to guard Longguan. The rest of the army, including 10,000 people, will quickly return to Hebei County to assist the prefect of Hanyang County Zumu and guard the entire Hanyang County.  "

    "The remaining 40,000 troops quickly sent out troops to encircle and suppress the Qi army from Wudu County and Beidi County, and destroy this Qi force in the rear."

    "As long as the Qi army in the rear is eliminated and there is no need to worry about the future, everything will go smoothly in the next war. Wang Qi's army can still be defended east of Longguan."

    "As for Beidi County and Wudu County, becauseMo Xingkong said: "Of course the general knows what he is talking about. Now that Beidi County and Wudu County have fallen, and the two areas have been captured, the Wei State is no longer able to stop it, and it is bound to lose. At this time, you stay here  To guard is to seek death. General, why do you need to do it for Wei, just like this"

    Clang!  !

    There was a sound of the sword being unsheathed.

    A cold, cold light swept over the tower.  Under the illumination of the burning torch, the sword light passed over Mo Xingkong's neck, and blood spurted out the next moment.

    Before Mo Xing could finish his empty words, his eyes widened and his body immediately fell to the ground.

    After Cao Yuanli killed Mo Xingkong, he glanced at all the soldiers on the tower and said coldly: "Everyone, listen to me, we are born as Wei people, and we die as Wei people. If you want to surrender, Mo  Xingkong is an example. Come here, tie up Mo Xingkong and hang him on the tower in public. Let everyone know the consequences of being a weakling."

    The soldiers guarding the city tower were all silent and trembling because Cao Yuanli's methods were too harsh.

    In fact, this is Cao Yuanli's nature.

    As the commander-in-chief of the army, he has always been strong. This is why he has the power to inspire and intimidate the army.

    This is also the reason why Cao Xuan kept Cao Yuanli.

    Cao Yuanli killed Mo Xingkong and frightened the soldiers, then went straight back to the room on the tower to rest.  Now he has to resist Qi's army. He has food and accommodation on the tower and is ready to deal with it at any time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
