"Mr. Langjun, Xu Cai and other places are now full of bandits. It is dangerous to go to Xiping City for a night before we get on the road! As we walk along the way, even if people can hold on, the horse can't stand it!"

In the morning, he rushed to the city of Qingyi Lingying, but was turned away from the city. Qian Zerui turned around and headed north along the official road. At dusk, he arrived outside Xiping County, which belonged to Caizhou. Two accompanying escorts advised Qian Zerui to enter the city for a short rest.

Qian Zerui was furious and said, "If you are afraid, after you arrive in Luzhou, I will promise you to return south. There is no intention of asking you to follow me to die in Taiyuan. Why do you rack your brains and delay?"

"Langjun, the young man is definitely not a person who fears death. Otherwise, how could he break out of Taiyuan City and escort his husband south for thousands of miles?" Two escorts knelt down and said, "We really saw that the husband was busy and hard, and they would be dragged down if they couldn't get back to Taiyuan. I want to persuade the husband to rest in Xiping for a night before making a trip."

"Ten hundred thousand soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan are in danger. How can I still care about whether I am tired?" Qian Zerui said bitterly, "Although there are more bandits in Hehuai and are tired after traveling for days, they are much better than the journey after passing Zezhou. Please stick to it for a few more days. Let's leave you here..."

"Mr. I don't want to abandon the soldiers and people of Taiyuan. I know that going north is a dead end, but I still resolutely return north. Are we greedy and afraid of death?" Two followers bowed in front of Qian Zerui and knelt down, saying mercilessly, "I will escort my husband to the north, but please don't mention the matter of separation!"

"Okay," Qian Zerui smiled sadly, "We returned north together, so Hu Gou knew that Da Yue was not the only one who was greedy for life and feared death. Although we could not bring reinforcements, we returned to Taiyuan calmly to live and die, which was worthy of the 100,000 Taiyuan soldiers and civilians..."

Qian Zerui followed the three of them and did not enter Xiping, so he picked wild vegetables by the side of the road, and astringent fruits filled his hunger. Regardless of the darkness, he bypassed Xiping City and continued northward.

Now there are many bandits between the Hehuai River and Huai River. Before the night is at night, there are few people who dare to walk at night. Except for Qian Zerui and the other two, who are traveling in the dark under the faint starlight, there is no one in front and behind. Occasionally, a few wolf howls tear through the silence of the silence, making people stand scary.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind.

At this time, the bandits all over the Hehuai River were all hungry people who were desperate, and basically had no horses. Qian Zerui and the others were not panicked when they heard the sound of horse hooves. They just didn't know who would rush to the north of Linying at night.

The visitor quickly approached, and Qian Zerui and his servant asked him to go aside, preparing to let someone go first, but he didn't want the visitor to approach and stopped.

Heihuo couldn't see the human face clearly, Qian Zerui was slightly frightened and reached out to hold the dagger that was defending himself in the bag.

"Pa" someone came with a fire note and lit two lanterns, illuminating the figures of more than ten knights in the dark.

"Kangjun Qian, why did you leave after a break from Mount Chu? I heard the news and chased you for a day before I caught up with you?" Xu Huaile stopped his horse and turned over and walked towards Qian Zerui.

Qian Zerui said solemnly: "I appreciate the kindness of Xu Junhou. Since Chu Shan can't help with Taiyuan affairs, please ask Xu Junhou to return. Let's leave here. I hope I will see you again in the next life..."

"I came here, but I didn't want to tell Qian Langjun what fate would be like in the next life. Why? Qian Langjun was worried that I would stop you from returning to Taiyuan to die?" Xu Huai took off his wine bag from his saddle and asked with a smile, "Old friend came to Chushan to meet him. I can't help with other things. I can't save the farewell wine - Qian Langjun minds finding a place to drink two glasses with me?"

"..." Qian Zerui remained silent.

"This place is almost ten miles away from Xiping County. There should be a Changting not far ahead. Let's go there for a short rest." Xu Huai led his horse to invite Qian Zerui to walk to the Changting in front.

The lanterns are inserted into the eaves of the long pavilion, which can illuminate the gallery columns and there are several piles of embers in the pavilion. Someone used to cook something here, but Xiping County cannot send anyone to clean it up now, which seems particularly unruly.

There were no tables and stools in the pavilion. Xu Huai asked someone to spread the felt cloth, took a few wooden bowls that were easy to carry, opened the wine bag and poured the wine, and asked Qian Zerui to sit down together: "Qian Langjun came out of Taiyuan City to bring reinforcements. You two will definitely have been escorted thousands of miles away. They are all powerful and righteous people of my great Yue. Please sit down together and let Xu Huai give you a bowl of wine!"

"Thank you, Junhou!" Although few people in the court took Xu Huai seriously, the performance of the soldiers in Tongbai Mountain during the two northern expeditions and the raid of Kelan City had long caused Xu Huai to become famous in Hedong. The two saluted in panic, and then sat cross-legged on the felt cloth and took the wooden bowl handed over by Xu Huai.

After Qian Zerui left Bianliang, he was robbed by hunger and had been hungry for several days, traveling around the country. At this time, he drank two bowls of wine with jerky, stood up with a little drunk, and said, "I have to send you off to the military marquis, Zerui can also return to Taiyuan with peace of mind. Let's leave here."

"Can Taiyuan stay until October?" Xu Huai asked while sitting on the felt cloth.

Qian Zerui did not understand Xu Huai's meaning, and said with a three-point drunkenness: "It is not known how long can Taiyuan be maintained, but the ambition of 100,000 soldiers and civilians and Taiyuan to survive and die is like Jincheng, nothing more than 'people are in the city', 'the city is destroyed', and the person is destroyed', Xu Junhou should not worry about it! I came to Chushan to find you, which was also a delusion. The world is so ruinous, how could I hope you too much?"

"Mr. Qian, I'm asking you if Taiyuan can stay until October?" Xu Huai continued.

"..." Qian Zerui looked over confused.

"If Taiyuan can stay until October, there will be a glimmer of hope." Xu Huai chased after him, avoiding possible spies, and talking to Qian Zerui in the wilderness outside Xiping City late at night, mainly to learn about the details in Taiyuan City.

He had never thought that Taiyuan's siege could be resolved before, and he was determined to avoid trampling on this pit, and even consciously avoiding Taiyuan's information. Of course, now his understanding of Taiyuan outside Taiyuan City is very limited.

If Xu Huai wanted to take advantage of the second southern invasion of Chihu people this time and lead his troops to detour from Guanzhong to the prefectures and Lanzhou, and raid Taiyuan, he would first confirm how long Taiyuan City could remain.

"Ah!" Qian Zerui was stunned for a moment, sat back on the felt cloth in surprise, and asked, "Can you persuade King Jing and Zheng Huaizhong to send troops north?"

"The Chihu people deployed many people outside Taiyuan City. The hasty troops and horses will only destroy the last bit of Dayue's reliance. In addition, I can't persuade Your Highness, Mr. Zheng to send troops. However, the Chihu people should go south again before the end of September and invade Hehuai. At that time, the Chihu people will only leave a few alert people in Taiyuan. If we can deploy in advance, we will secretly transfer thousands of elite troops to the prefectures and Linzhou standby, we may defeat the enemy in Taiyuan in a short time and gain some time for the withdrawal of Taiyuan soldiers and civilians," Xu Huai said, "But the key is that Taiyuan City must be held until the main force of the Chihu West Route Army will go south!"

"Although the food in the city is almost exhausted, the soldiers can boil leather, armor and saddles to fill their hunger, and the people can peel the bark and peel grass stems to wrap their belly. Tens of thousands of people would rather die than surrender. There is no problem in Taiyuan City until October!" Qian Zerui sat upright on the felt cloth and said, "I would also ask the military marquis to send troops as soon as possible to relieve the danger in Taiyuan!"

As the main army of Hedong Road, the Tianxiong Army took their families to the place to eat, and most of the families of the generals lived in Taiyuan.

When Taiyuan City was besieged, it seemed that there were less than 10,000 vacancies in the city, but in fact there were more than 10,000 children of the generals of Tianxiong Army and a larger number of families who were besieged in the city.

Although Wen Hengyue, the commander of the Tianxiong Army, performed extremely mediocre during the first northern expedition to Yan, during the rebuilding of the Tianxiong Army, he and Yin Chao even focused on clinging to Cao Shixiong. When Xu Huai was very cold, they were not in a desperate situation and never knew how much energy they could burst out.

During the siege of Taiyuan City, Wen Hengyue and others not only repeatedly resisted Cao Shixiong, but also helped the prefect Xu Wei lead the army and civilians to repel the enemy's attacks hundreds of times.

Wen Hengyue and Yin Chao are the only two senior generals left in the Tianxiong Army. One vows not to live or die together in Taiyuan, and the other surrenders to Chihu people. They also personally lead troops to participate in the siege of Taiyuan. The wonderful fate is so wonderful that it is very sad...
