Chapter 236 Leadership (Part 2)

Wei Wang Palace

The scenery is pleasant at this time, and the strange flowers and plants are lush.

Women in palace outfits were still busy walking while walking. King Wei loved beauty, so they were all women who served him in close proximity.

However, when approaching the inner hall, there were waves of solemn and murderous aura.

Rows of soldiers, holding spears and swords, were guarding the inner hall. Except for a few beauties serving in the outer hall, it was difficult for others to get close to.

It was still early at this time, and it was still some time before the sun set. In the inner hall, King Xu Wen of Wei would sit upright on it, and a beautiful beauty was pounding his legs.

On the table table in front of me, there were a few dishes and wine.

In front of Xu Wenhui, several girls wearing only one gauze dress were dancing graceful dance barefoot. There was a string of copper bells on the girl's ankles, and each movement would bring a series of clear sounds.

A quiet girl in white gauze is playing the piano and accompaniment.

Xu Wenhui was very young and of medium figure. Because of his hard work in his youth and long-term battle, he had a slight look of wind and frost on his face. At this moment, Xu Wenhui narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the girls dancing in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

After drinking some wine, my cheeks turned slightly red, leaning against the collapse, looking careless.

As if the beauty looked at the dancer in the field, she seemed to be missing.

These dancers are all gifts from the Wei family, including the girl playing the piano. However, compared with several dancers, the girl playing the piano is nobler. She is the concubine daughter of the Zhang family. She has been diligent in piano skills since she was a child and has been trained. She is good at everything from chess, calligraphy and painting. She is also beautiful. She was only sixteen years old when she was sent by her family.

However, Xu Wenhui's thoughts were not on these beautiful girls. He put one hand on his legs, and he beat the music one after another, with his eyes a little wandering.

At this time, what he thought was not the same as what he saw, but several dancers did not dare to slack off and were still dancing seriously.

After a while, footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, and there were waves of speech.

Xu Wenhui's half-closed eyes suddenly opened: "Who is making noise outside?"

"Your Majesty, I'll go out and have a look!" Liren said when she saw that the king's gaze finally took back from the dancer's body.

Xu Wenhui nodded casually: "Go."

"Yes!" As if in order to show that she is the king's favorite person, the beauty took the order out. When she passed by the girl in white, she glanced at her even more, with a provocative look.

Xu Wenhui only leaned against the collapse, looked at it lightly, and didn't care.

After a while, the beauty walked in from outside and said, "My Lord, I have sent someone away."

After saying that, he glanced at the dancer not far away, with a faint slight look.

Usually, she has done this a lot, but Xu Wenhui never pursued her and praised her for being smart.

Xu Wenhui frowned slightly and asked, "Can you ask clearly what's going on?"

"What is more important than resting with the king?" The beauty smiled and came to the king's side, pounding his legs and talking.

Xu Wenhui glanced at her and said nothing.

But less than a stick of incense, there was another noise outside, and this time the noise was even greater than before.

This time, Xu Wenhui stood up and walked directly to the hall gate. What he saw was general Zhang Jie.

"Zhang Jie? Why are you here?" Zhang Jie was tall and mighty, with a tough body. Just looking at his standing posture, he stood firm as a mountain with sharp eyes.

He is a general whom Xu Wenhui values.

"Report to the king! The general sent someone to report military affairs to the king, but was blocked. The matter was urgent. The general had to come here in person and ask for a meeting with the king!" Zhang Jiehu's body was shocked, and he knelt on the ground and said.

When Xu Wenhui heard this, his face darkened and he looked at the beauty behind him.

"Bold bitch! Who gave you the right to stop military affairs? People come! Pull her down and beat her to death with sticks!" Xu Wenhui shouted loudly, and the soldiers outside the hall rushed in immediately, but did not move for a moment after coming in.

The woman in front of her was a beauty that the King of Wei recently favored. She was not able to get the enthronement because of her humble background, but she was not far from the enthronement.

How dare they move such a woman easily?

Maybe it was just the king's anger!

"Bastard! Why are you still stunned? Why didn't you drag her out?" Xu Wenhui shouted coldly.

"...No!" The soldiers did not hesitate anymore, dragged her away.

This beauty has always been favored by Xu Wenhui and has lost her composure. When Xu Wenhui scolded her, she immediately became excited and her face turned pale due to fright.

After being dragged by the soldiers, she immediately realized that she was afraid. She struggled hard, threw away a few soldiers, and crawled over to Xu Wenhui on his knees, shouting: "Give up your life! You once said that you will be a concubine in the future! Have you forgotten all those words?"

Xu Wenhui watched her crawl over coldly, but he only raised his foot and kicked her out.

Then the soldiers rushed up and dragged her down, and the woman's screams gradually faded away.

In the hall, the atmosphere became extremely depressing for a moment.

Several dancers, even the girl playing the piano, stood in a hurry, looking at Xu Wenhui in fear, and did not dare to say anything.

Xu Wenhui turned around and looked at them: "Don't you retreat yet?"

"No!" After hearing this, several girls hurriedly retreated as if they had survived the disaster.

In the hall, except for a few warriors, only King Xu Wenhui of Wei and Zhang Jie who was kneeling in front of him.

"Tell me, what are you anxious to report?" Xu Wenhui asked with a frown.

"King, according to the information of the last general, the Chu army has captured the Likou port. Several troops have gone to war. Although the number is not large, one of them is already attacking Denghe County and threatening Runan County!" Zhang Jie knelt on the ground and replied, the attitude of the lord just now was very satisfied with him.

"Did the Chu army capture Likou Port?" This news changed Xu Wenhui's face.

"What a bunch of waste, I haven't dragged it down for three days!" After walking back and forth in the hall for a few steps, he turned his head and ordered: "Transfer the orphans' orders and let the officials come to the Hall of Conventions within half an hour!"

"promise!"

Xipo County. Twenty miles.

At dusk, an army of hundreds of people quickly marched towards the county town of Xipo County.

All of these 100 people, six hundred of them were regular soldiers, and about three hundred logistics soldiers, all of whom were energetic and well-equipped, and the marching was very fast.

"Report!" At this moment, a horse riding in front came quickly.

"Sir Wei, twenty miles ahead is Xipo County. The county is under high security. The suspension bridge is already high, and the city gate is closed!" In a blink of an eye, the horse was approached by Wu Xingzong and quickly reported.

"It seems that Xipo County has received news about Likou Port and is prepared?" Wu Xingzong said.

We quickly marched to attack Xipo County to control the situation before Xu Wenhui's army moved.

As for the defense of Xipo County, they had expected that although it was unclear whether they knew about Likou Port, they must have heard of the news of the Chu army's large-scale invasion.

"Send the order to speed up, and before dark, hurry outside Xipo County!" Wu Xingzong ordered, and a sneer appeared.

If you can get the position of General Wei, you should have luck, and you will fight more by yourself.

Wealth and honor are in danger, no matter what, he will take over the county town in this battle!

"How is the defense of Xipo County?" He accelerated and sent a horse to explore again, Wu Xingzong asked.

"Xipo County is located on the border and faces water. Its defense is much weaker than the fortress. But even so, according to previous information, Xipo County had 500 soldiers. Although they were all soldiers, they were still quite strong by relying on the city." Tang He said.

After hearing this, Wu Xingzong nodded.

Even though it is because of the river and its defense is weak, it is still difficult for me to attack this county town within ten days.

"However, no matter how strong the county town is, this battle is still the only way to win but not lose!" Wu Xingzong said in a deep voice with bright eyes.

Ten miles away, a team of twenty cavalry first rushed to a hill, looking around.

The sun is setting to the west, and in less than an hour, the night will come, but before this, the army can fully station a camp, so they don't have to worry about it.

Wu Xingzong pointed at the county town with a horse whip and said, "Look, it is indeed built by the water, but it seems that the scale is still very large!"

Looking in the direction you pointed, I saw the setting sun shining. The county town was in the distance, and there were farmlands outside, with rolling hills, and fields for dozens of miles.

Tang He frowned and said, "Look at it myself, this county is quite large, and if it attacks head-on, it is afraid it will be difficult to capture."

Although Liu An was just a personal soldier, he was actually a confidant. At this time, he sighed: "If we attack the city and fight to the death, the casualties will inevitably be severe."

Wu Xingzong smiled and said, "I understand this. The key is how much resistance will there be in this county town and how many abilities the soldiers have."

After a pause, Wu Xingzong showed a confident smile and said, "For the way to fight, the main lies in the general trend. Look, the king occupied the south and had four states of Jing and Yangyi, while Xu Wenhui only had Yuzhou, which was a few times different. Don't underestimate this, this is the general trend."

"Want to change your position, you are officials of local counties and counties, and will you be determined to serve Xu Wenhui?"

"And Xu Wenhui was just a dealer selling private salt back then, and he had just pacified Yuzhou. His foundation was unstable, so how could he have enough prestige?"

"In terms of soldiers, we only had hundreds more trips this time. Even if we conquer the county town, we would suffer heavy losses. Our way to win is to use the power of the king to threaten it."

Seeing Wu Xingzong talking so calmly, Liu An let out a sigh of relief.

In the original county town, the Liu An family still had some assets. Although they made friends with brothers, their vague status was still above the Wuxing Sect, but after not seeing each other for two years, Wuxing Sect changed drastically. At this time, the majesty arises and guides the rivers, which makes people intimidate.

Tang He frowned and asked, "Although this is the case, what if we are determined to resist when we meet the enemy county magistrate and are determined to resist? We may not be able to encounter an ideal situation!"
