With the word "le", no one can understand the meaning better than Qin Rouniang. When she came back from the city tower, she recruited veteran Qin Sheng alone.

"Elder General Qin, how sure are you to defend the capital?" Qin Rouniang asked straight into the corner.

Qin Sheng shook his head with white hair, "I asked the Empress Dowager to forgive me. The old man could only devote himself to his work and dare not guarantee anything to the Empress Dowager. I had told the Empress Dowager before that if I could hold it for one month, I could hold it for one year. If I could hold it for one year, we could hold it until the day when the food was gone and the assistance was eliminated."

Qin Rouniang sighed deeply, "How can I save the crisis?"

"Unless Su Can's Tiger Guard can enter the capital." Qin Sheng said: "If Su Can's Tiger Guard can enter the capital, we can not only defend the city, but also wait for an opportunity to fight back. With the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guard, we will fight against the Northern Army and use the capital city to continuously consume the opponent's vitality, and there may be a turning point."

"But Su Can was blocked in Linfeng. It may be difficult to break through the numerous sieges of the Northern Army and approach Shangjing City." Qin Rouniang sighed.

"If there is a unit that can be picked up and responded, it may be able to help Su Can break through the heavy obstacles," Qin Sheng said.

"There is such a unit there." Qin Rounniang smiled bitterly, "Didn't the old general also say that if the army in the city leaves the city, it will be impossible to fight?"

"Why did the Empress forget that there is a force stationed in Ningxiang west of Shangjing!" Qin Sheng reminded.

"Lou Xiang"

"Yes, it's Lou Xiang. He still has 20,000 Luzhou Town Army under his command!"

"How could I count on him?" Qin Rouniang shook his head. "He retreated from Anlu and wanted to enter Shangjing City, but we refused. He only allowed him to station in Ningxiang. If he hadn't been worried that he would be rebellious, he would not even provide food, grass and equipment. Now Shangjing City is now surrounded. How can such a person who is fickle and has a rebellious backbone on his head be able to send a great responsibility to eat meat for thousands of miles, and dogs for thousands of miles, and this person cannot count on him."

"The Queen Mother, I can't count on it, but this is always a glimmer of hope. We don't have to worry about it. At the moment, the enemy has only arrived at an infantry battalion. The Queen Mother brought them a batch of food, grass and weapons from Xicheng, and then raised Lou Xiang a few levels, and appointed an official from the land. Maybe he found out with a conscience that he could do his part for Dayue."

"Is this a dead horse a living horse?"

"Maybe this dead horse might even blow up the corpse!" Qin Sheng said with a smile.

Qin Rouniang's starry eyes were closed for a while, and finally opened it. He looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to be generous and then give him the title of General of the Assistant State and the Old General of Qin. You should preside over this matter and tell him that as long as Su Can enters the city and keeps the safety of the capital, even if he is crowned king, he will be generous."

"This person is greedy, and the Queen Mother has made good wishes! The old minister will do it!"

Ningxiang, Lou Xiang's camp. Since he ran from Anlu to Weizhou and arrived at the outskirts of Shangjing City, before his butt was warm, news of Anlu's loss came. While Lou Xiang was heartbroken by his ten thousand troops, he was also glad that he ran fast and was not trapped in the quagmire of Anlu.

I thought that when I arrived in Shangjing, the Empress Dowager Qin Rouniang would be in vain and would definitely welcome her into the capital with great fanfare. Unexpectedly, this woman did not play according to the common sense and issued an edict to not allow herself to enter the city. She only allowed herself to station in Ningxiang. Ningxiang is nearly a hundred miles away from Shangjing, and there is not much population. All the supplies are dependent on Shangjing. Fortunately, Qin Rouniang has not made things difficult for her on this.

I was angry, but I had no choice but to go against him. I could not just turn against him and rush into the capital. Not to mention whether I could go into the city. In this way, I really had no way out and I would kill myself.

He arrived in Ningxiang in depression, but the following news made Lou Xiang feel a little unstoppable. Some soldiers and generals fled back from Anlu. From their mouths, he learned about Tuwenzhuang. If Tuwenzhuang was really as they said, it would be really bad. This bastard was obviously playing with himself and playing himself to a dead end.

Because of this matter, Lou Xiang did not dare to mention the matter of garrisoning Shangjing with Qin Rouni. It was obvious that his reputation had been broken. He first sold Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu in Luzhou, and then sold Congliang in Anlu. Tu Wenzhuang was his capable adviser. If this guy was really Yun Zhao's inspiration, he would not be able to clear himself into Cangjiang. I guess Qin Rouni must have known these things. If it weren't for the 20,000 soldiers under his command, his head might be hung on the tower of Shangjing for public display.

Thinking of this, Lou Xiang was shuddered. For a moment, he didn't know whether to hate or thank She Wenzhuang. If it weren't for him, he might have been defeated in Luzhou, and his entire army might have been destroyed in Anlu. To this day, he still has 20,000 troops and his head is still standing firmly on his neck. I'm afraid that it's all because of She Wenzhuang's plans.

Lou Xiang was worried about gains and losses, and stayed in Ningxiang, at a loss.

It was at this moment that Qin Rouniang's edict arrived in Ningxiang.

After listening to the reading of the special envoy who proclaimed the edict and taking the edict, Lou Xiang's heart was filled with drums. The last sentence of the envoy before leaving made him even more frightened.

"The Empress Dowager said that as long as General Lou did this, the past affairs could be written off, and the court would not hesitate to reward him, and it would not be impossible to be a king."

Lou Xiang knew that although Qin Rounniang's government orders were no longer out of the capital, her throat was still in her hands and she needed nothing else. She just needed to stop providing food to herself. The 20,000 people would collapse. If the army had no food, it would be impossible to control the army. Without food in her hands, she could no longer control the army.

It is not impossible to go to Linfeng and open up Su Can to Shangjing. There is still a chance. Yun Zhao's army has not arrived in Shangjing on a large scale at this time. All they have come were more than 10,000 cavalry and an infantry battalion. This amount of force would not be enough to take care of Shangjing. It would be even more difficult for me in Ningxiang. If I steal this time difference, I will attack Linfeng and attack Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp without beating him, but I will only hope to catch Su Can's tiger guards out, and Qin Rounniang just asked me to do this.

This is not impossible.

Lou Xiang stared at the military map on the table and repeatedly gestured. Maybe he could gamble again. After throwing away the map, Lou Xiang couldn't help but sigh. Apart from this road, he had another way to go, which was to surrender Yun Zhao. But until now, Yun Zhao never paid attention to him. With the ability of the staff, it was easy to contact him. He ignored him only two possibilities. One was that he was disdainful to surrender himself. After all, his reputation was broken. The second was that it was because of the Zhao family and Huang family in Tongzhou. Zhao Huang hated him for his rightful hatred. They were important pieces of the Northern Army who were now controlling Tongzhou. Yun Zhao had no need to offend these people because of his desperate guy.

I could only take a try. Lou Xiang said to himself.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the personal soldiers lifted the curtain and entered, "General Lou, someone asked for a meeting, and the person came said that the Chief Auxiliary sent him to see the general."
