After several frontal attacks to no avail, Xichi changed its strategy and headed south around the mountain.
It opened several passes in the south and quickly occupied a city.
Cheng Zheng left half of his troops to guard the camp and quickly led his troops to the south.
When they heard that the general guarding the city was Lian Mo, the second prince of Xichi, everyone felt even more pressure.
Lian Mo has been in the military since he was a child.
He has extraordinary abilities, rich combat experience, and a great reputation.
The army camped outside Fengyan City, and several generals discussed plans to attack the city.
Night attacks, fire attacks, attacks from the east and west, and luring the enemy out of the city, failed.
The Xichi army resisted stubbornly and counterattacked cleverly.
Fengyan City could not be attacked for a long time, and the soldiers were anxious.
Whether it was a frontal attack or a siege, there were differences in tactics.
A frontal attack is obviously a helpless move, because the terrain of Fengyan City is high, and the soldiers and horses are already exposed to the enemy's sight before they get close.
The enemy shoots arrows at the city gate, and our army cannot get close at all.
But there are also many disadvantages to siege.
First, you have to go deep behind the enemy's rear, but you don't know the number of troops behind the enemy's rear.
There are many dangers in rushing forward.
The team fighting in the front line may never return.
Any tactic would result in the loss of troops.
Cheng Zheng pondered for a long time before finally making up his mind and asked Jinfeng, "How far is it from Hanye Camp?"
"Less than a hundred miles."
Jinfeng replied, "What the young master means is" "Besiege the city and let the people from Hanye Camp take the front line.
The people there are all from the military and are well-trained.
The important thing is that they are serious criminals.
If you give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, they will definitely fight to the death with all their strength.
If they can successfully kill After entering the enemy's rear, Our army takes advantage of the situation and cuts off the troops and food supply in the city.
If not, the people in the city will not be able to survive for long."
Cheng Zheng clenched his fists.
"This is the least harmful way to send troops to our army.
What do you generals think?"
The others discussed the pros and cons, and finally unanimously agreed.
Jinfeng rushed to Hanye camp overnight to lead his troops back.
After two days of rest, he put on his armor and went into battle.
Jinfeng asked Cheng Zheng, "Young Master, the troops are going to be sent out tonight.
Do you really believe that the Young Master has not seen you for a long time?"
Cheng Zheng lowered his eyelashes and said expressionlessly, "Tell him that when he comes back, I will pick him up personally."
"Yes, my subordinates will go and gather the entire team."
"Jinfeng," Cheng Zheng suddenly stopped him.
Jinfeng turned around and waited for Cheng Zheng to speak.
Cheng Zheng said solemnly, "You and Yuan Xin must return safely."
Jinfeng nodded deeply, "Yes."
Jinfeng led his troops into the front line, and General Liu then waited for the opportunity.
After the team set off, Cheng Zheng stood at the door of the camp and stared blankly into the distance, his heart hanging in the air not daring to let go for a moment.
He hasn't seen Yuanxin for two months.
He doesn't know what kind of life Yuanxin has been living in the past two months.
He doesn't know what Yuanxin looks like now.

He doesn't know if his skills have deteriorated.
He doesn't know what he has been thinking in the past two months. , whether you harbor hatred or not.
Cheng Zheng lowered his head and looked closely at his right hand, his eyes full of loneliness.
I am far inferior to Jin Feng when I go into battle to kill the enemy.
I pushed you into danger but couldn't protect you.
I hate myself too.
How I wish my hands were not injured, how I wish it was me who led you into battle this time, how I wish I could fight side by side with you and advance and retreat together.
In the early morning, news finally came that the enemy's rear lines had been cut off, and several other groups of troops gathered towards Fengyan City from all directions, and Fengyan City could be surrounded at dawn.
Cheng Zheng finally felt relieved.
He wanted to fly over immediately, hug Yuan Xin, and tell him that you did a good job and that your brother is proud of you.
He walked around the camp impatiently until daybreak.
Jinfeng returned to the camp with a small group of wounded people.
Cheng Zheng strode over and saw the blood on Jinfeng's arm and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
Jin Feng didn't answer.
Cheng Zheng glanced back and didn't see Yuan Xin, so he asked, "Where is Yuan Xin?
He is still guarding behind the city, right?"
Jinfeng suddenly knelt down and said, "Lian Mo personally fights, Yuan Xin rushes to the front and penetrates deep into the enemy's army, my subordinates"
"Tell me the result" Cheng Zheng interrupted sharply.
"Caught."
Cheng Zheng closed his eyes, nodded and said, "Go and bandage the wound."
Jinfeng was about to say something else, but Cheng Zheng turned around and returned to the tent without waiting for him to say anything.
He slapped the table heavily, feeling frightened and restless.
When we attack the enemy's rear at night, Lian Mo will be so angry that he will execute the prisoners directly.
Will he give Yuan Xin a chance to speak?
He is not sure whether Lian Mo recognizes Yuan Xin.
If so, it's okay.
If not, how can Yuan Xin protect himself?
Is it dangerous?
Will he get an idea?
Will he?
Cheng Zheng didn't dare to think about it, he just felt it was difficult to breathe and his mind was in chaos.
I want to save him, but now that the city has just been besieged, it is not the time for negotiation.
To ask for peace talks in a hurry is undoubtedly to expose one's weakness.
Don't you want to save me?
But Yuan Xin's life or death is uncertain now.
How can I feel at ease?
Should I just wait like this?
When the city runs out of ammunition and food, there is no guarantee that they will not kill the prisoners and share the food.
How can they still keep Yuan Xin at that time?
What should I do?
How can I save him?
In Fengyan City, Lian Mo, who was dressed majestic in military uniform, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, was sitting in the main hall, drinking wine leisurely, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Two soldiers escorted Yuan Xin in and reported back, "Your Highness, we are here."
Lian Mo waved for them to go down, walked leisurely to Yuanxin who was tied up by Wuhua Dadai, and called him with a smile, "Cheng Yuanxin."
Yuan Xin asked nervously, "Who are you and how do you recognize me?"

Lian Mo pursed his lips and smiled, "You are so stupid.
Didn't you hear them call me His Highness?
I am your cousin, Lian Mo, the second prince of Xichi.
I heard that you came to the battlefield, so I came here to see you.
How about it?
Are you happy?"
Seeing that he had no intention of killing her, Yuanxin felt more at ease and cursed, "I'm happy, sir.
You were captured and tied up in the enemy camp.
Are you happy?"
"Oh, that's it."
Lian Mo stretched out his hand and took out a knife and cut open the rope on Yuan Xin's body, "Here, let cousin try your skills."
Yuan Xin hurriedly pulled off the rope and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Lian Mo replied calmly, "If you can defeat me, I will let you out."
"You really mean what you said."
Lian Mo smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, why don't you lie to me and ask for a sword?"
"Yes," Yuan Xin said decisively.
Lian Mo returned to his seat and threw the sword to him.
Yuan Xin pulled out the sword.
Seeing Lian Mo's bare hands, he couldn't help but question, "Don't you use weapons?"
Lian Mo said kindly, "When we first met, I hurt you by mistake.
It's so bad.
It hurts our friendship."
Yuan Xin suddenly confirmed an idea, "You have a hidden weapon."
Lian Mo seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help laughing, "Let's take action."
Yuan Xin came at him with a sword, and Lian Mo ducked sideways.
Before Yuan Xin had time to put away his sword, Lian Mo was already in front of Yuan Xin, holding his throat with one hand and pinching his right wrist with the other.
Lian Mo's arms were thick and powerful, and Yuan Xin's wrists hurt.
He frowned and gritted his teeth to keep from throwing away the sword.
Lian Mo let go of his hand, leaving two dents on Yuan Xin's wrist, which were bright red.
Lian Mo took a few steps back and said, "This move is to tell you not to underestimate the enemy."
Yuan Xin was frightened by him, and finally understood why he was so confident with his bare hands.
This man's martial arts skills were simply unfathomable.
Yuan Xin took a deep breath to collect his thoughts, then clenched his sword tightly to attack.
Yuan Xin carefully prepared for the battle, and Lian Mo gradually used his real moves.
After a few rounds, there was no sign of strength.
Yuan Xin's sword struck directly, Lian Mo clamped his sword with both hands, Yuan Xin couldn't move, Lian Mo turned hard, and Lian Mo snatched the sword away.
Lian Mo threw away his sword and returned to his seat.
When Yuan Xin saw him turning around, he attacked with a cleft from behind.
Lian Mo turned around and knocked Yuan Xin to the ground with a wave of his hand.
Lian Mo sat down and commented as if nothing had happened, "You don't have enough strength in your hands, you don't draw the sword fast enough, and you don't change your moves flexibly enough.
Your moves look like Yuan Chen, but they're not one-tenth as good as his."
"You know Yuan Chen?"
Yuan Xin was shocked.
One of these two people is in the west and the other is in the southeast.
How can they communicate with each other?

"We know each other, old friends."
Lian Mo poured a glass of wine.
Seeing Yuan Xin staring at him blankly, he thought he wanted to drink, so he said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you have the nerve to drink after you have practiced martial arts like this?"
Yuan Xin said disdainfully, "Oh, whoever wants to drink your wine, I'm afraid you'll poison me to death.
I'm just surprised why you know Yuan Chen, and also, what does it mean for me to practice martial arts like this?
I'm so used to it."
I have only been practicing martial arts for a few months.
How can I compare with your skills that have lasted for ten or twenty years?"
Lian Mo asked back, "So you want me to praise you.
You have achieved so much in a few months.
You have extraordinary qualifications and a bright future.
You will become a great person in time."
Yuan Xin was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't beat him, so he squatted on the ground with his back to him and said, "You can humiliate me as you wish.
I am not as good as others.
I have nothing to say."
"I just said a few words casually because I was angry.
You are too immeasurable.
Come over and have a chat with your cousin."
"I'm not going," Yuan Xin said stubbornly without looking back, "Unless you tell me first why you know Yuan Chen."
Lian Mo explained, "I have admired his name for a long time, so I went to meet him a few times.
He always refused to refuse anyone who came, and he was upright and easy-going.
From then on, we got to know each other.
We occasionally competed in martial arts, cooked wine and recited poems, that's all."
"Fuck," Yuan Xin couldn't help but sigh.
He suddenly felt that this battlefield was so unserious, "Didn't he want to kill you?"
"We agreed not to kill anyone outside the battlefield, but you are not like you, and you still carry out sneak attacks."
"I" Yuan Xin wanted to defend himself, but knowing that he was in the wrong, he weakly replied, "You didn't say you couldn't make a sneak attack."
Lian Mo saw him squatting on the ground looking very miserable, and said to him, "Come over and eat when you are hungry, lest Cheng Zheng comes and says I neglected you."
When Yuan Xin heard Cheng Zheng's name, he immediately became interested, strode over, sat on the floor opposite Lian Mo, and asked eagerly, "Will my brother come?"
"Don't worry, you are in my hands, can he not come?"
Lian Mo handed him the chopsticks in front of him.
Yuan Xin took the chopsticks doubtfully, hesitating whether to eat or not.
Lian Mo said impatiently, "It's not poisonous.
I'm not free enough to poison my own food."
Yuan Xin chuckled, took a plate of food and ate it into his mouth.
Lian Mo couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw how he was eating, "How long has it been since you last eaten?"
"Two months."
Yuan Xin's mouth was full of food.
He stretched his neck to swallow.
After swallowing, he said, "I haven't had a full meal in two months.
When I'm good, I have some leftover soup and rice to eat.
No."
When it’s good, there’s no leftovers.”
Lian Mo couldn't believe it, "Cheng Zheng did this to you."

Yuan Xin stuffed another mouthful of food into his mouth, "It turns out that's not true.
I made a mistake, and he threw me into that hell place just to punish me."
Lian Mo clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Why are you so impatient?"
Yuan Xin rubbed his neck and asked, "Can you give me some water to drink?
I'm choking."
Lian Mo shouted to the outside world, "Come here, serve tea."
Yuan Xin suddenly discovered that what was hanging behind Lian Mo was the troop deployment map in the city.
He couldn't help but glance up.
However, he was guilty of being afraid of being discovered by Lian Mo.
He felt extremely nervous and patted his chest to hide it.
Lian Mo, on the other hand, drank alone and didn't care.
After a while, a soldier brought two cups of tea.
Yuan Xin picked up one cup and drank it in one gulp.
Then he licked his lips and looked at the other cup with unfinished content.
Lian Mo said, "Drink it."
"Thank you, cousin."
Yuan Xin excitedly picked up another cup of tea.
After drinking it, he took a few deep breaths and started eating again.
Lian Mo was called cousin by him and said happily, "I was bribed after just one meal."
Yuan Xin defended himself, "It's not bribery.
You are my cousin.
Besides, I just called you cousin and didn't do anything for you.
It can't be considered as treason."
Yuan Xin was eating when a soldier came in at the door and said, "Your Highness, there is someone outside the city gate asking to see him.
He claims to be the siege general Cheng Zheng."
Yuanxin said in surprise, "My brother is here."
Lian Mo took his time and raised his eyebrows, "Oh, it's here so soon.
It seems I'm really worried about you."
Yuan Xin put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm going to see my brother."
"Stop," Lian Mo sternly stopped him, completely losing his previous kindness, "Don't forget that you are my prisoner."
Lian Mo ordered the soldiers to let Cheng Zheng in, and then said to Yuan Xin, "Go down, Cheng Zheng and I have something to discuss."
Yuan Xin said nervously, "What are your plans?
What do you want to do?"
"Come here, take him back to me" sjgsf0916:
