"There are more than 150,000 defenders in Tai'an City?"

"No..."

Yuan Zuozong said this first, and then immediately denied his guess.

After all, they have always had scouts monitoring the military movements of the Liyang court.

Besides, the court previously mobilized 500,000 troops to guard Kuimen Pass, plus the 300,000 Qingzhou and Guangling Road coalition forces led by Lu Xiangsheng who were annihilated by the Chu State. These 800,000 troops have basically emptied all the military forces of the Liyang court.

Now looking at the entire Liyang Dynasty, there are only 200,000 Jiaozhou cavalry under the command of King Yan Chi, and 200,000 border troops in the two Liao lands.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Liyang court to transfer other troops to Tai'an City.

And judging from the expressions of Xu Xiao and Li Yishan, things are not as simple as that.

"It's Chu!"

"Adoptive father, what happened in Chu?"

Soon, Yuan Zuozong also thought of the problem.

"Chu?"

"What happened in Chu?"

Xu Fengnian asked immediately.

With Xu Fengnian's mind, he could naturally guess some situations at this time.

But in Xu Fengnian's heart, he really didn't want Beiliang and Chu to go against each other.

Because there are too many people he is familiar with in Chu.

Jiang Ni, Xu Weixiong, Xu Zhihu...

Although these people are now strangers to him for various reasons, Xu Fengnian is still unwilling to become enemies with them.

Xu Xiao's other adopted sons are not mediocre either. After listening to Yuan Zuozong's words, they all found the problem immediately.

Ye Xizhen frowned and said:

"Does Chu want us and the Liyang court to lose both sides, so that they can take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits?"

"But the casualties on the Chu side in the past two days... unless..."

"Unless someone in Tai'an City cooperates with Chu!"

Yuan Zuozong took over Ye Xizhen's words and said.

"Gu Jiantang!"

"Cao Changqing is really a good trick!"

"They started planning from the time of Kuimen Pass. They want to swallow up the Liyang court and my Beiliang in one gulp."

Xu Xiao said slowly.

"This..."

Hearing Xu Xiao's words, everyone in the tent fell silent.

Everyone has realized the seriousness of the problem.

In this situation, Beiliang has reached a critical moment of survival.

"This Chu State is too much of a bully!"

"Father, why don't we fight them?"

Qi Dangguo, who had never spoken, suddenly stood up and said.

"Fight?"

"How do we fight?"

"We should charge at the Chu State camp now, and both sides will suffer losses, and then be wiped out by the Liyang court?"

Xu Xiao said calmly.

When Xu Xiao said this, everyoneHe fell silent again.

Indeed!

If we turn against the State of Chu at this time, the only outcome will be that the Liyang court will benefit.

"Dad, why don't we go back to Beiliang."

Xu Fengnian spoke word by word.

In Xu Fengnian's heart, he wanted to avenge his mother Wu Su very much.

And now the opportunity for revenge was within reach, so he naturally didn't want to give up.

But the situation at this time made it impossible for him not to give up.

"Yes! Godfather, let's retreat!"

"As long as we retreat to Beiliang, no one can do anything to us!"

Several other adopted sons also spoke up.

Only Li Yishan remained silent, and what he saw was farther than others.

"We can't retreat!"

"We may not be able to go back to Beiliang."

Xu Xiao slowly stood up, looked at the map of Liyang hanging on the wall behind the tent, and spoke slowly.

Hearing Xu Xiao's words, Xu Fengnian and the others wanted to say something, but Xu Xiao waved his hand to stop them.

Xu Xiao continued:

"Our cooperation with Chu is driven by interests."

"After all, Chu and I also have a grudge of destroying each other."

"As early as the beginning of the cooperation, I was actually prepared."

"The only thing I miscalculated was the strength of Chu." (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"It can only be said that we were one step behind, and we can't blame others."

That's true!

When Xu Xiao contacted Cao Changqing to propose cooperation, he didn't expect Chu to be so strong.

When Xu Xiao saw the 300,000 troops led by Li Jing at Kuimen Pass, he was also shocked.

It was unimaginable that a country that had just been restored, Chu, actually had an army comparable to their Beiliang.

And before the attack on Tai'an City, Xu Xiao had not thought about whether Chu would deliberately let them go to preserve their strength?

But in Xu Xiao's opinion, Chu was fighting on two fronts, and the consumption of logistics and food would be multiples of theirs.

It was a miracle that Chu could hold on to this day with only one state.

Therefore, in Xu Xiao's opinion, Chu should be more eager to quickly capture Tai'an City than they were.

So even though the situation was clear at this time, Xu Xiao was still very puzzled. Where did Chu get so much food?

"Then...father, what should we do next?"

Yuan Zuozong asked.

"We will take some rest today, and continue the siege tomorrow to capture Tai'an City in one fell swoop!"

Xu Xiao's face became serious, and he gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes, godfather!"[]

After hearing Xu Xiao's order, Yuan Zuozong and his men turned around and left.

What Xu Xiao didn't say was that even if they withdrew their troops now, they could still fight back to Beiliang.

ButOnce the troops were withdrawn, regardless of whether they could return to Beiliang alive, he would never have the chance to avenge Wu Su again in his life.

So after considering for a long time, Xu Xiao did not choose to withdraw his troops.

After Yuan Zuozong and his men left, only Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian were left in the tent.

"Fengnian, tell your uncle and Li Jianshen that they will be asked to take action tomorrow."

Xu Xiao looked at Xu Fengnian and said.

"Dad, can we really break through Tai'an City tomorrow?"

Xu Fengnian asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry!"

"Tai'an City will be broken tomorrow!"

"Once Tai'an City is broken, you and I, father and son, will kill all your mother's enemies!"

Xu Xiao glanced at the direction of the Chu camp and spoke slowly.

"Okay!"

After hearing Xu Xiao's words, Xu Fengnian's face also showed a fierce look, nodded and turned away.

...

At the same time.

In the Chu camp, they were also discussing matters.

After Beiliang called off the troops, Li Jing also ordered them to withdraw their troops back to the camp.

"It seems that Xu Xiao has found the problem."

Cao Changqing said with lingering thoughts.

"If you can't find the problem now, then I will start to doubt whether he, the King of Beiliang, is really old?"

"If we can consume another 50,000 soldiers from Beiliang, it will be worth the hard work of the past two days."

Guo Jia next to him said with a smile.
