Li Xiao rushed up with his sword. Rankbeng was already dying and slashed towards Li Xiao with an axe. With a "swoosh", the immortal trap flew over and hit Rankbeng's arm. With a "clang", the axe fell to the ground.

Li Xiao turned around and stabbed, and the black golden Tanyun sword stabbed into Rankbeng's lower abdomen. With a sound of "ah", Rankbeng did not fall down. He grabbed Li Xiao's wrist with one hand, and lifted Li Xiao up with force. The sword in Li Xiao's hand also pulled out.

At this moment, Boss Ke arrived, jumped up, raised his big ring knife with both hands, and slashed on Rankbeng's arm with one knife. Rankbeng screamed again, and his arm and Li Xiao landed on the ground at the same time. Another sword, Wan Fang's sword stabbed into Rankbeng's chest. Rankbeng's other hand grabbed Wan Fang's hilt tightly, preventing him from pulling out the sword.

King Kong swept down Rank Beng with a whirlwind leg, and the Broken Soul-Broken Sword cut off Rank Beng's head, ending his life. A fierce battle ended.

Li Xiao stood up and picked up his sword. At this time, a group of soldiers rushed over. Li Xiao said to Rankbeng's body, "You shouldn't have come." After that, he said to the soldiers, "Soldiers, he will have a grand funeral." After that, he said to several senior brothers, "Let's go to the city." Several people nodded.

At this time, the rain was even heavier. The rainwater accumulated together and formed a river, rushing the warrior's corpses to the low place, mixed with blood from the battlefield, all flowing into the moat.

Everyone came to the city gate, and a voice came from the city wall, "Why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left to beat for so long." The voice was made by Guo Rengui. Because the rain sounded too loud, many people didn't hear it clearly, but Li Xiao's senior brothers heard it clearly.

Li Xiao's senior brothers looked at Guo Rengui on the top of the city and ignored him. Li Xiao looked at Guo Rengui on the wall, holding an umbrella alone, sitting on the wall, drinking with a wine gourd.

Li Xiao said, "I drank two sips of wine gourd." After saying that, I felt that I had said something wrong, so I waved my hand and the group entered the county town.

A fire burned the county city beyond recognition. If it weren't for this heavy rain, the county city would no longer exist. The group came to the government office. The soldiers packed up the unburned rooms and left them to Li Xiao and his group to live there. Runfeng arranged for the soldiers to camp. The county city's granary was burned without a trace. Everyone was very hungry and the soldiers began to collect food and grass throughout the city.

The rain fell for more than five days, and it was covered in mud. No one could leave, no war pigeons could fly, and no one could inform Dongning. The rain finally stopped. Li Xiao, Guo Rengui, Chuanhun, Changzhi, King Kong, Wan Fang, Boss Ke, Runfeng and others discussed together.

Changzhi said: "Xiao'er, I've just sent a war pigeon with my senior brother. My senior brother is safe and sound. I have already interrupted the food. I told my senior brother that my senior brother will send someone to deliver food and grass. What are our next plans?"

Li Xiao said: "I don't know if I should solve Chen You's urgent need or seize the other five palaces first. Brothers, what are the good plans?"

Guo Rengui said: "In my opinion, it is better to withdraw troops to Dongning first. After a long-term plan, what is the significance of defending such an empty city?"

Runfeng said: "Shu County has been a grain road since ancient times, and Dongning is a hub. These two cities cannot be empty. Even if it is an empty city, it needs heavy troops to guard them. These two places are a place that must be fought for by military strategists. The last general thought that 5,000 troops could be divided into garrisons to guard Dongning. The rest of the army guarded the county city, waiting for labor. The north could resist Zixuanguan to increase troops, and the south could prevent Chen Youzhai from retreating. Cut off the food road of the Sanling Army, and within half a year, the Sanling Army would be defeated without fighting."

Changzhi nodded and said, "Little General Runfeng, what he said is reasonable, but Dongning and Shujun have less than 30,000 troops to join forces, guarding two cities, and food and grass cannot be supplied. I am afraid our army may not be able to last for half a year."

Li Xiao said: "Senior Brother Third, what do you mean?"

Changzhi said: "With our army's current strength, we can attack Rongze first. If Rongze is taken down, our army can settle in Rongze, form a horn with the Nanjuan General who is closely related to Chen You, and bring 50,000 elite troops from the South Country to support him, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."

Li Xiao nodded. At this time, a soldier appeared at the door of the tent. When Li Xiao saw that he was sent to Chen You to inquire about the news. Li Xiao bowed to his brothers and said, "I'll let you accompany you for a while." He walked out of the tent.

"Return to the general, I found out clearly that Miss Ying'er was indeed in Chen Youguan. In He Fengzai's camp, when Ziguan was broken, most of the defenders and the people retreated to Chen Youguan. In order to govern the people, General Nanjuan set up camps for each prefecture to manage the people." The soldier said.

Li Xiao asked again: "How many defenders in Chen You have, is it safe? Is the balance?"

The soldier said, "Chen You originally had 100,000 troops in the garrison, General Nanjuan brought 200,000 troops, and the defeated troops of the seven northeastern prefectures retreated for more than 100,000. Chen You's management was no less than 400,000. The people in the pass lived normally and were very peaceful."

Li Xiao was very satisfied and felt that the soldier was very clever, so he said to the soldier: "What's your name?"

The soldier replied: "Return to the general, the villain is called Liu Yi."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Good name, let me be a spy in the future and follow me."

Liu Yi knelt down on one leg and said, "Thank you for your lifting, the younger one will definitely live up to the general's good wishes."

Li Xiao waved his hand to the attention and signaled him to leave. He thought before and after that, Chen You's 400,000 army was enough to fight against the Sanling Army. He replied to everyone: "Just just now, the army has a 400,000 army. Our army can work with General Nanjuan inside and outside to take down the Sanling Village in one fell swoop and drive them back to their hometown."

Changzhi said: "No, the Sanling Army is not a native chicken and a tile dog. If the army is defeated, the entire northern country will suffer. Besides, our army does not know how the Sanling Village will set up its formation. It is not a way to use troops. It still needs to be discussed with a long-term plan."

Runfeng said: "Master Changzhi said very well. If Chen You is not good, our army can rest assured. As Master Changzhi said, our army can attack Rongze first, and borrow troops from General Nanjuan to station the county city, waiting for labor."

Li Xiao looked at Guo Rengui, and Guo Rengui said, "It seems that I am useless. I don't understand military tactics. If you say you want to fight, I will just follow me. I will do more mechanisms for your use."

Duanhun said: "Let's make a long-term plan. When the senior brother's food and supplies arrive, it's not too late to make plans. If there is no food in the army, don't move troops." Everyone said yes.

Everyone withdrew from the tent, Li Xiao called Guo Rengui and said, "Brother Rengui, how about I invite you to drink tonight?"

Guo Rengui smiled and said, "Drinking is fake. There is no alcohol in the army. Tell me, what should I do?"
