Although Kou Xiong was warlike, he was not a fool. He had just captured Rong Dengcheng on his side, and several troops of unknown origin were surrounded and killed from two directions, with more than 100,000 people. This was obviously a trap. At this time, leading the army to rush over, it would be a death sentence.

Li Xun shook his head and said, "I can only sit and wait for death if I defend the city!"

This time, the troops sent out can be said to be full of force, and in advance, they also planned to make a quick decision. Therefore, they only brought military rations for three days. If they stick to the city, they can only stay for five to seven days at most, because the food is only enough to last for so long.

Therefore, if you defend the city, the opponent does not need to attack at all. You just need to surround the city and you can win without a fight within ten days.

"Then break through as soon as possible, the other party may not be able to stop us."

Kou Xiong was not the one who was afraid of trouble. When he heard that Li Xun wanted to beat him, he immediately spoke out his advice.

Li Xun glanced at Kou Xiong and frowned.

As for the current situation, concentrating troops, fighting back, breaking out, retreating back to Mingzhou, and even retreating to Bozhou are the best choices, but... if you really want to do this, you will completely give up Yan Yi. The 20,000 soldiers led by Yan Yi have already set off for almost two hours. At this time, I am afraid it will be too late to retreat.

Of course, this idea just rose in my mind and was immediately rejected by Li Xun. Yan Yi is his brother who is as close as a brother. How could he abandon it in times of crisis? He could not do this at all.

Zhang Jin looked at Li Xun's hesitant expression and had already guessed what he was thinking, so he spoke out: "Break through the siege immediately, move towards Pingzhou, and meet with Yan Yi. In this way, we have more than 80,000 soldiers, so we can give it a try with the other party."

"This is great, it's good."

Kou Xiong didn't think so much, and Zhang Jin's proposal was even more pleasing to his appetite.

Kou Xiong shouted: "The other side has only more than 100,000 troops. Although the number is more than us, its advantage is not obvious. Fortunately, he is in the wild, and fights to the death with him, and the world will be determined by one battle."

Li Xun nodded, and that's all at the moment.

"Gather the army."

"I'll go outside the city to command, you can bring out all the troops in the city."

Kou Xiong laughed loudly, without any fear, but was extremely excited.

After Kou Xiong left, Li Xun and Zhang Jin also left one after another, gathering 20,000 troops in the city.

But just as Li Xun and Zhang Jin gathered their troops, riots began to occur in the city. Many scattered soldiers set fires everywhere in the city and launched attacks. However, the number of people was small, all of which were dozens or hundreds of small troops.

Li Xun ordered loudly: "Don't get entangled with the other party, leave the city immediately."

The other party had obviously ambushed some soldiers in the city and prepared in advance. Now that he saw that he was about to leave, he immediately jumped out and caused trouble everywhere, intending to drag the 20,000 troops in the city. Li Xun could see through this thought at a glance.

The 20,000 soldiers who entered the city have only gathered 15,000 people, and there are still 5,000 people not in place. However, Li Xun was not ready to continue waiting and had no time to wait. He immediately issued an order and the army left the city immediately. As for the five thousand people, whether they could leave the city in time, they could not control so many.

Zhang Jin showed a hint of unbearable expression on his face. This was his subordinate.

Li Xun comforted: "It will take at least half an hour to leave, it should be too late."

Zhang Jin nodded without saying anything.

Li Xun had just left the city and met Kou Xiong. The other party immediately said with a heavy expression: "The Exploser just came to report that the other party's 20,000 vanguard cavalry had arrived fifteen miles away, and at most two quarters of an hour, they would arrive. Let's go quickly, it would be too late if they didn't leave."

Li Xun looked at Zhang Jin, who looked back at Rong Dengcheng, and there were his own five thousand soldiers inside, but...

Zhang Jin sighed and said, "Let's go."

Compared with the safety of the 60,000 army, 5,000 people can only give up.

However, before leaving, Zhang Jin sent someone into the city and told the five thousand soldiers not to leave and guard the city. On his side, after meeting with Yan Yi, he would fight with the other party. Once he wins, he will come back soon. They still have the possibility of survival and the only chance.

The 60,000 army immediately headed north and headed towards Pingzhou.

Strangely, Li Xun and others marched towards Pingzhou, and the enemy behind him slowed down the pursuit. His vanguard, 20,000 cavalry, had the opportunity to catch up, but did not do so. He just followed him closely at a distance of ten miles behind him.

After nearly three hours of marching, Li Xun and others came to a plain.

The ground was full of corpses, and there was still a trace of body temperature on the corpses of many soldiers. It can be seen that the fight here has just ended not long.

"Sir, most of them are soldiers of the Imperial Army, General Yan Yi..."

Gaoyou led someone to patrol and came to this conclusion. As for Yan Yi's body, he was not found and he did not know life or death.

Li Xun was silent, his face extremely ugly.

Zhang Jin sighed: "Yan Yi and the 20,000 imperial guards seem to be completely finished."

Kou Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "It's really a link. The other party knows our movements very well!"

After saying that, Kou Xiong looked at Chen Lie on the side, his eyes slowly cold: "All this is the result of your secret conspiracy?"

"I'll kill you first."

Kou Xiong drew out his sharp sword and walked towards Chen Lie with a murderous look on his face.

The situation is now very obvious. All this is a situation and a conspiracy. The greatest possibility is that Gao Shancai and Chen Qingzhu have already secretly surrendered Li Conggu. The previous method was to confuse Li Xun and others, and all the 100,000 troops of the court were eliminated in Hebei.

"General Kou, please don't make random guesses. I dare not fight Gao Shancai, but my father will never surrender to Li Conggu."

Chen Lie quickly explained.

Tang Qiulian also said at this time: "Chen Lie is the only son of my father-in-law. If he surrendered to Li Conggu and intends to assassinate you, how could he put his only son here?"

Li Xun stopped Kou Xiong and said, "The problem is definitely not Chen Qingzhu."

Tang Qiulian was right. Chen Qingzhu only had Chen Lie, the son. If he really surrendered to Li Conggu, he would never push his only son into the fire pit. But the problem was not Chen Qingzhu, so there was only one possibility, that is, Gao Shan had a problem.

Thinking of this, Li Xun was in a heavier mood. If this were the case, Chen Qingzhu would probably be in danger. Whatever breaking through Zhaozhou and Li Congshan was surrounded was all a conspiracy, in order to lead the court's 100,000 troops out and then capture them all in one fell swoop.
