Chapter 125： Jia Xu wants to make atonement

Lu Feng and Xun Yu and Jia Xu had the same opinion before. Once Qiushan City can't hold on, Zhang Pengyi and Hou Lin will definitely break through, because they have family members and cannot coexist and die with Qiushan City.

But obviously, the three of Lu Feng were wrong, Zhang Pengyi and Hou Lin chose to retreat to the inner city, which was beyond their expectation.

Jia Xu groaned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Zhang Pengyi and Hou Lin retreated to the inner city. They must be planning to fight a protracted battle with your Majesty's army. We must fight quickly!"

Lu Feng smiled bitterly, and said: "I also want to make a quick battle, but there is no way to make a quick decision. According to intelligence, the inner city of Qiushan City is stronger than the outer city. Although it is impossible to break through, it is not a problem with their army to hold on for a year. , A quick decision is too difficult!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to issue a military order, and within seven days, the inner city of Qiushan City will be captured to redeem the merits!" Jia Xu said suddenly.

Lu Feng frowned, looked at Jia Xu, and said: "Wenhe, military orders are not trivial, you don't want to be quick."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister already has a plan!" Jia Xu had a confident smile on his face.

Lu Feng looked at Jia Xu. He knew that Jia Xu was not a big talker. He said there was a way, maybe there was a way.

Slightly pondering, he said: "Wenhe, you had no way to besiege Qiushan City before, but now you have a way. Tell me, what is the way!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister's method will definitely work, at most seven days, the inner city will be broken." Jia Xu said.

"You civil servants like to play mystery!"

Lu Feng shook his head helplessly, and said: "Let's talk about it, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Jia Xu immediately told Lu Feng what he needed.

Lu Feng did not hesitate, and ordered people to stop digging channels while the army attacked the city.

There are only 20,000 people left to defend the city, how can it be held.

In less than an hour, the outer city of Qiushan was completely in Lu Feng's hands.

According to Jia Xu's strategy, Lu Feng immediately let a large army surround the inner city.

The inner city is much smaller than the outer city. A 400,000 army surrounds the inner city with three floors and the outer three floors. It can be said that a fly can't fly out.

This scene made many soldiers in the inner city look desperate.

Can they fight so many sieges?

Lu Feng did not order the siege of the city, because Jia Xu said that the army only besieged but not attacked, and the city will be broken within seven days.

Lu Feng didn't know where Jia Xu's self-confidence came from, but since this poisonous man has such confidence, there is no doubt that he must fully support it.

Ordered the army to only besiege and not attack, and at the same time let Xun Yu post the emperor list to appease the people of Qiushan City.

On the night three days later, in a mansion in the inner city, Hou Lin was sitting in the pavilion, drinking wine alone with a sad face.

"General Hou's face is so ugly, but is there something on his mind?" At this moment, a voice came into Hou Lin's ears.

Hou Lin's expression changed, she immediately stood up, put her right hand on the sword, and said in a deep voice, "Who?"

"General Hou don't have to be so alarmed, I just come out."

The voice was smiling.

Following, a person walked out from the left side of the pavilion.

When Hou Lin saw it, his complexion suddenly changed, holding the hilt of the saber in his right hand, it was half out of the sheath.

He stared at the person and said solemnly: "Jia Xu!"

The visitor is the left prime minister of the Nanyan Kingdom, Jia Xu!

How can Hou Lin not be surprised? This is Jia Xu. Although he is a civil servant, he is no less powerful than a general, even more powerful than him. If he wants to kill him, he can't resist.

"Don't worry, General Hou, I won't kill you!" Jia Xu sat in the pavilion seat, looking at Hou Lin with a smile on his face.

Hou Lin's face changed, and he suddenly sneered and said, "Of course you won't kill me! Because once you kill me, my army will be in Zhang Pengyi's hands. Then he can gather all the army together without scruples. Me, it’s even more difficult for you to break through the inner city! Therefore, you dare not kill me!"

He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "You are right, that's it, so I won't kill you!"

"Since you didn't kill me, but you came here to find me, then you definitely want me to surrender to Lu Feng!" Hou Lin sneered again and again, as if he could see through Jia Xu's calculations.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, this is my purpose!"

"Then you should know my answer too!"

"Zheng!"

With the saber out of its sheath, Hou Lin looked at Jia Xu coldly and said, "I will never surrender!"

"Don't be so loud, if others see me and tell Zhang Pengyi the news, you will be in trouble." Jia Xu smiled and looked at Hou Lin.

Hou Lin's expression changed, put down his sword, and lowered his voice, staring at Jia Xu, and said, "Go, I won't let the soldiers surround you. By the way, give Emperor Lu Feng a message. The inner city is here, Hou Lin Now, the inner city is broken, waiting..."

"General Hou, don't speak too hard, otherwise it's easy to get off the stage!"

Jia Xu interrupted Hou Lin with a smile, shook his head, and continued: "I am here to persuade you to surrender to your Majesty, and also to save your life!"

"Save my life?"

Hou Lin seemed to hear a joke, and sneered: "Will you save me?"

"of course!"

Jia Xu smiled, took out two letters, handed them to Hou Lin, and smiled: "Look at what is written on these two letters!"

After hesitating for a moment, Hou Lin held the letter and opened it, but when he saw the content on it, his face changed drastically, and he said in shock: "How is this possible!"

The content of the letter turned out to be that many days ago, Zhang Pengyi and Gan Quan discussed that Hou Lin was removed, the army returned to Zhang Pengyi, and Gan Quan got the Hou family property.

"Huh, Jia Xu, Jia Xu, do you really treat me as a three-year-old child?"

Hou Lin sneered, shook the letter in his hand, and said, "If this letter is true, how could such an important letter fall into your hands, Jia Xu? This letter must have been forged by you!"

"Is it a fake? You won't be clear when you look at the handwriting? Is it possible that you still can't recognize the handwriting of Zhang Pengyi and Gan Quan?" Jia Xu smiled lightly.

Hou Lin was silent again. In fact, he had long recognized that it was Zhang Pengyi and Gan Quan's handwriting, but he couldn't believe that they would plan his own Hou family.

Jia Xu said indifferently at this time: "This is nothing strange! Zhang Pengyi has long planned to stick to the inner city and fight a protracted war with your majesty. When we can't afford it, he is the one who has the final say in the inner city, and he can be in it. A native emperor, even contacting the Hongbao Kingdom, selling the city for glory is not impossible! But you are his obstacle. You have a hundred thousand troops under your command. If you disagree with his decision, he will not be able to proceed!"

"So, it is necessary to get rid of you! As far as Gan Quan is concerned, he now has 600,000 troops in his hand. He is not worried about military strength, but he is worried about rations and money, because soldiers need to pay for the army, but..."
