It's just getting light. The gate of Daxing City, which had been closed all night, suddenly opened, and a red-feathered messenger galloped out of Daxing City on a tall horse. "Drive!" the red feather messenger shouted, no matter how hard they used their horses, they galloped wildly because they were carrying letters that were urgent for 800 miles. The red feather messenger ran eastward along the brick road, changing eight horses along the way, and finally arrived at Feng Yijuncheng. "Report!" The red feather messenger rode directly to the prefect's mansion in Feng Yi County. "Report to General Yin! An urgent report has been sent from Daxing City for 800 miles!" Hong Ling's messenger said. Master Yinshi was shocked. The Eight Hundred Mile Express was only used when it was most critical. Could something big have happened? Master Yinshi took the secret report, dismissed his servants, and came to the study. He reached out and pulled out a copy of "Zuo Zhuan" from the bookshelf, because according to Yang You's instructions before departure, both the six hundred mile express and the eight hundred mile express must be written in code, and Yin Shishi's code book is "Zuo Zhuan". ??Putting "Zuo Zhuan" on the table and opening the secret report, it turned out to be a series of numbers. Seeing these code numbers, Master Yinshi sincerely admired His Highness Dai Wang. Even if the enemy intercepted the information using this code, they would not know the content of the information. This ensured the absolute security of the information. Although the process was cumbersome, the effect was great. It's leveraged. Master Yinshi didn't care about this and immediately deciphered the secret report according to the code. With the password and code book in hand, Master Yin Shi had already deciphered the secret report in less than a quarter of an hour. Seeing the contents of the secret report, Master Yinshi suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face was pale and his body was shaky. "Your Majesty" Master Yin Shi quickly covered his mouth, and a whimpering sound came from the room. After a long time, Master Yinshi put the secret letter into the brazier with trembling hands, and saw with his own eyes that the secret letter was completely burned. When Master Yinshi appeared in the lobby of the government office again, his eyes were red. "General!" All the officials saluted. Yin Shishi looked around at the officials of Feng Yi County and said in a hoarse voice: "Here's the order. From now on, all counties in Feng Yi County will be under martial law." All the officials were shocked, looking at Yin Shishi's calm and confident appearance. He bowed his head and responded: "Yes!" "In addition, the internal affairs of Feng Yi County will be temporarily handled by the internal history." "Yes!" The internal history of Feng Yi County stepped forward. Master Yin Shishi gave a few more instructions and gave instructions on the major and minor affairs of Feng Yi County. "What about you, general?" Nei Shi asked. It was a bit baffling that Master Yinshi suddenly explained government affairs like this. "Prepare your horses immediately. This general will return to Daxing City immediately." Master Yin Shi said firmly. Huoyi. The cold wind is fierce. Makes people tremble. Under Huoyi City, Qu Tutong looked at the tall and majestic Huoyi City, with five emotions rolling in his heart. This city was built by him. Of course he knew the power of this kind of city. If it were attacked by force, it would be impossible to capture Huoyi City without killing or injuring 10,000 soldiers. The loss of ten thousand soldiers was a loss that no general could bear. Qu Tutong did not choose to attack by force, but chose another method, which was to dig a long trench and besiege Huoyi. And there is another reason why Qu Tutong did not order a storm. He knew that Taiyuan had been captured by Liu Wuzhou. He and the staff team sent back by His Highness King Dai agreed that if Huoyi was besieged at this moment and the pace was slowed down to give Li Tang a chance to breathe, Li Tang would definitely fight to the death with Liu Wuzhou in order to seize Taiyuan. If the two tigers fight, there will be one. Injury, and Daxing City will sit on the fisherman's advantage. Anyway, Daxing City must capture Taiyuan. If Li Tang is eliminated now, they will face the intact Liu Wuzhou. It is better to wait for Liu Wuzhou and the Tang army to fight, then Daxing City will take action. No matter which side wins by then, That was also a tragic victory. At that time, the difficulty of attacking Taiyuan would be greatly reduced. Now that Huoyi has been besieged for more than 20 days, I believe that the food in Huoyi City is almost exhausted, and Huoyi can no longer sustain it for much longer. Qu Tutong looked resolute and looked directly at Huo Yi in front of him. In a few days, Huo Yi would be back in his hands. "General! Daxing City is 800 miles away, hurry up!" A messenger rushed to Qu Tutong's side. Qu Tutong was shocked. He immediately picked up the secret letter, returned to the Chinese army's tent, and took out a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Soon, the code was translated. "Impossible?" Qu Tutong was shocked. He didn¡¯t believe that Yang Guang died like this, but this was a 800-mile expedited message from Daxing City, and it was impossible for Yang You to lie about this. After a long time, Qu Tutong gave the order dejectedly:"Retreat to Linfen County immediately!" If Yang Guang dies, his most important task is to stabilize the 70,000-strong army, not to capture Huoyi City. In Huoyi City. Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing looked sad. Huoyi has been besieged for more than 20 days now. The 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city consume a terrifying figure every day, and most of the food in the city has been consumed. "Your Majesty, we have gathered together the food supplies for the people in the city. Even if we are tight on food and clothing, we can only sustain it for another twenty days at most." Liu Wenjing said. "Twenty days!" Li Jiancheng suddenly had a headache. This is not good news. Now Li Jing is attacking Longquan County. Li Yuan is retreating steadily. Although Li Shimin has recaptured Taiyuan, it is still a tragic victory. Huoyi City may not be able to wait within twenty days. Reinforcements are coming. " Taking ten thousand steps back, even if reinforcements come, they won't be enough to fill the gap between Qu Tutong's 70,000 troops. Besieging a city for reinforcements is not the exclusive preserve of modern people. "I'm afraid it's doomed this time?" Li Jiancheng lamented in his heart. Suddenly a soldier ran over excitedly and shouted: "Your Majesty, Qu Tutong has withdrawn his troops outside the city." "Withdrawn his troops?" Li Jiancheng was shocked. "How is that possible?" Liu Wenjing exclaimed. In his opinion, Qu Tutong would not stop until Huoyi ran out of food. How could he retreat at this time? The two looked at each other, quickly rushed up the city wall, and looked down the city. Sure enough, the Sui army's camp outside the city had begun to be dismantled. All the Sui troops gathered densely, and the leading troops had begun to retreat. "Ouch!" Huo Yicheng cheered. For soldiers, it is of course happy to be able to survive without fighting. But Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng always had lingering doubts in their hearts, and they didn't understand why Qu Tutong suddenly withdrew his troops. This question lasted until the shocking storm hit, and then the two of them suddenly realized it. Longquan County. Li Jing had already captured Longquan County, and Li Yuan retreated to Lishi County again. Li Jing organized his troops to prepare to pursue again. At this time, he received an urgent report from 800 miles away and immediately ordered to stop sending troops and rectify Longquan County, giving Li Yuan some time to breathe. At the same time, all the counties in Guanzhong received an order from His Highness the King of Dai to impose martial law in the counties. This was the first time Yang You issued a large-scale order to the counties in Guanzhong. Although the governors of various counties were confused, they still carried out the implementation. After all, martial law has no harm. With everything arranged, Yang You was ready, waiting for the shocking storm to hit. (To be continued)
