Chapter 333 Jiang Xiner’s love-hate relationship!
at the same time:
At this moment, Hulao Pass was in chaos.
All kinds of shocking bad news came one after another.
Prince Ying Guang of Zhao suddenly died in battle in the palace, leaving the 200,000-strong army leaderless and the people in panic.
Prince Ying Qi, who was stationed at Baima Station, was attacked by Xiao Tiangui's army again. More than half of his troops were killed or wounded, and they fled back overnight.
The loss of Baima Station destroyed the army's food supply route and made the already tragic situation even worse.
But even at the critical moment of life and death, the two brothers Ying Qi and Ying Jie still refused to let go of their prejudices against each other.
In order to fight for the throne, all kinds of deadly struggles were fought openly and secretly.
So much so that Pang Wei and Zhao Wuji couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
They joined forces with several powerful elders and generals to discuss countermeasures.
But after much discussion, no one could come up with a practical solution.
Even a consensus cannot be reached.
Some people advocated risking their lives and destroying the imperial army together.
Others think that since they are already in a desperate situation, they might as well surrender.
Both sides hold their own opinions, the man says he is right and the woman says she is right.
The argument became so heated that the two sides almost came to blows.
Just as they were arguing fiercely, someone suddenly came to report that the army surrounding the east gate had withdrawn and retreated thirty miles.
After hearing the news, everyone present was stunned.
"Is this Xiao Tiangui's plan to lure the enemy out? He sees that Hulao Pass is a natural barrier that's easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he's planning to lure us out?"
"Even if it's a trap, we have to jump into it with our eyes closed. You know, our current food and supplies won't last for a few more days. By the time the food and supplies run out, there won't be any need for the imperial army to attack the city. Our 200,000-man army will collapse without a fight!"
Everyone started to hold their own opinions again, and no one could convince anyone else.
Then, everyone's eyes turned to Ying Qi and Ying Jie again.
The two brothers Yingjie and Yingqi rarely quarreled this time.
If others surrender, the court may show leniency to them or even give them important positions.
But the identities of the two brothers are clear. If they surrender, they will definitely die.
Maybe, by then, being able to die quickly and peacefully will be a luxury.
So, the two brothers Yingqi and Yingjie looked at each other.
Their eyes all fell on Pang Wei and Zhao Wuji at the same time.
Zhao Wuji is proficient in martial arts, but knows little about military matters.
Therefore, he did not express his opinion.
At this time, military advisor Pang Wei has become the backbone of everyone.
He stared at the map for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Prince, Second Young Master, gather the troops immediately and break out from the east gate!"
Ever since he was ambushed in the palace, Zhao Wuji has had a psychological trauma and is afraid of falling into a trap again.
"Mr. Pang, Xiao Tiangui has just withdrawn from the encirclement at the East Gate. Could it be that he has already set up an ambush and is waiting for us to fall into his trap?"
As he spoke, he found several dangerous passes around the East Gate that were very suitable for ambushes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, in order to support his point of view.
Pang Wei looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone, let me say something inappropriate, but now all of our lives are in Xiao Tiangui's hands."
"We can only live if he lets us live. If they want us to die, whether inside or outside Hulao Pass, there is no way we can escape!"
After hearing Pang Wei's pessimistic and desperate words, everyone present fell into deathly silence again.
"I'm willing to sacrifice my life to bring down the emperor. We still have 200,000 troops here. If we put our lives on the line, we'll fight them with our lives. Even if we die in battle, we'll drag Xiao Tiangui down with us to be buried with us!"
"Drag Xiao Tiangui to be buried with us, buried with us, buried with us!"
……
Pang Wei waved his hand to stop the angry pro-war generals.
"Everyone, please listen to me first. Right now, our lives depend on Xiao Tiangui's thoughts."
"But in my opinion, he doesn't want to completely destroy us now!"
Ying Qi asked doubtfully, "Mr. Pang, why is this?"
Pang Wei stroked his beard and said, "Because the lips and teeth are interdependent, if we are destroyed, Xiao Tiangui will no longer be of any use to the court!"
"Given the young emperor's coldness and cruelty, he will definitely target Xiao Tiangui just like he did Jiang Kuanglong, and he will be eager to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
"Xiao Tiangui saw this and was worried that the young emperor would abandon him. That's why he gave up three things and let us return east, so that he could nurture the enemy and protect himself!"
After hearing Pang Wei's words revealing the secret, everyone present suddenly understood.
Immediately, without any hesitation, they organized their own troops and prepared to break out from the east gate.
……
At this time, Bai Li was still immersed in the grief of losing his father.
Jiang Xiner was there to comfort him.
He also lost his father not long ago.
Therefore, I can empathize with Bai Li's mood at this moment.
At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly rushed in.
"Xin'er!"
When they saw the person coming, Jiang Xiner and Bai Li were stunned.
"It's you?"
Bai Li couldn't believe what he saw and suspected that he was too sad to have hallucinations.
I rubbed my eyes hard and tried a new way to open them.
The result remains the same.
"Really you?"
Bai Li was so excited that she was incoherent. Regardless of her girlish reserve, she threw herself directly into the arms of the person who came, intending to pour out all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
The graceful figure that suddenly appeared was none other than himself.
It was Li Changsheng.
However, just to be on the safe side.
The pseudonym he is currently using is [Bai Juyi].
However, Jiang Xiner judged from the other party's word "Xiner" just now that the person was most likely [Yan Qing].
To be more precise, it was Li Changsheng!
Thinking of this, her eyes looking at Li Changsheng were filled with complex ripples.
There is overwhelming love and deep hatred in it.
This mixture of love and hate made her feel at a loss for a moment.
I even don't know whether I should expose Li Changsheng's hypocrisy.
At this moment, another burst of urgent shouting came from outside.
"Bai Li, we can't stay here for long. We have to break out and leave!"
This is Zhao Kun's voice.
In addition to Zhao Kun, there is also the prince Ying Qi.
However, Yingqi came here not only to take his sister Baili away.
He was still obsessed with Jiang Xiner, who was already married, and wanted to take her away with him.
He even wanted to take this opportunity to win the beauty.
When Li Changsheng heard that Zhao Kun and Ying Qi were coming, his expression couldn't help but freeze.
He is now a heavenly-level grandmaster, so it is not difficult for him to forcibly take Jiang Xiner away in the chaos.
But just when he thought of this and was about to take action.
But Jiang Xiner stepped forward and signaled him with her eyes not to be impulsive and to quickly find a place to hide...
