Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Half a month later,

The group just arrived at the Three Gorges Bay.

I received a secret letter from North City.

The letter was written by Li Tianduo and contained only two words: Come back soon.

Short, yet hurried.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked at each other and thought something was wrong. They called Li Yi and told them to follow, and then the two of them rushed to North City overnight.

At this time, the area outside the North City had already been surrounded.

Li Tianduo and Li Tianming, both wearing armor, stood on the city wall, looking at the dark crowd below in the light of the fire.

"I don't know if my elder brother and sister-in-law have received the news?"

"I should have received it. By the way, has the eldest brother of the Leng family sent any news?"

Li Tianming nodded and said, "It has been delivered."

It was only after Leng Chengye passed the message to them that the two of them rushed over from Diechi Mountain.

When they received the news, they also went to Liaodong. After all, Leng Yuheng and Leng Yucheng had both been on the battlefield, and they thought that having them around would make things a little better.

Unfortunately, just as they were discussing this matter with Leng Yuheng and others, some unidentified masters appeared in Liaodong.

They also harassed the government office, there was nothing we could do.

It's strange to talk about those people. They don't hurt anyone, but they just keep harassing the county government.

For a moment, it was difficult for Leng Yuze and the others to escape.

In addition, they were also afraid that if they left, those people would attack the people of Liaodong.

There was no other choice but for the two of them to come back and take charge.

But for some reason, the army under the city has arrived here one after another for nearly ten days, and there is still no movement.

Don’t ask why they arrived one after another, because those soldiers did not come all at once, but came in waves today and tomorrow.

At this moment, the high walls outside the north city have been surrounded by them.

As for how many ambushes were still in the original Liangzhou City, they had no idea. They only knew that at night, a little smoke would rise from the city.

When Zhuang Chenxu hurried to the top of the city wall, he saw the two men staring down with frowns on their faces.

He strode up behind the two men, placed his hands on their shoulders, and said softly, "Although they have many people, they won't be able to attack us in a short time."

On his way here, he had already learned that the army had been approaching for several days but no action had been taken.

They hadn't even challenged each other, he thought, they must be troubled by the high city walls.

Li Tianduo and Li Tianming were so absorbed in staring down that they didn't notice his footsteps. When they finally reacted, they heard his voice.

Li Tianduo: "Brother Zhuang, have you received the news too?"

"Well, Dad and the others sent me a message early this morning. I knew Yuyang and the others were out, so I rushed back overnight because I was worried that there wouldn't be enough people here. I didn't expect you two to arrive earlier than me." After saying that, he looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where are Yuze and the others?"

When Li Tianduo heard him ask about Leng Yuze and the others, his expression became more serious and he shook his head, "They can't come for the time being."

For now, it was just something he said casually.

The situation over there is not optimistic either, and no one can say for sure what the situation is like.

Zhuang Chenxu saw that he looked embarrassed, then looked at Li Tianming and saw that he was also embarrassed. He asked, "But what happened in Liaodong?"

The two nodded.

Li Tianduo: "Well, things are still very troublesome."

"what's the situation?"

Li Tianduo and Li Tianming told him everything that had happened in the past few days.

The more Zhuang Chenxu listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"Has Yucheng been kidnapped?"

Not only Zhuang Chenxu was surprised, but the other two were also surprised when they first heard the news.

If Leng Yuze hadn't told them what happened that day, they would still be kept in the dark.

"Well, we only learned about this a couple of days ago. Yuze and the others suspect that the masters from Liaodong this time were the work of Qin Zhaohai. Now it seems that perhaps not only those masters harassing Liaodong, but even the large army under the city are his work."

Zhuang Chenxu nodded slightly. "Yes, if what you said is true, then the events in Liaodong and here must be closely related to Qin Zhaohai. It seems that the two people taken away by Chong'er and the others are very important to him. Judging from their posture, it is obvious that they are here to flatten Beicheng."

He had just seen that originally there were only three or four hundred thousand people here, but while they were talking, it seemed that a lot of people had arrived one after another. Those people came from Liangzhou City. They didn't know how many people were left in the city.

Moreover, it was obvious that these people this time were able to keep their composure. Unlike those who came to attack the North City in the past, these people had been here for such a long time without even making any noise. They were just setting up tents, making fires and cooking.

It seems like he really doesn't take them seriously.

"More people are coming. Hundreds of thousands of troops have already arrived. Just how many people does Qin Zhaohai have?"

Li Tianming, who also saw this scene, held his forehead and said.

The other two did not speak, staring intently at the enemy's every move below.

After a long time, Zhuang Chenxu looked back at where their army was in the city.

They probably still have tens of thousands of troops here.

Leng Yuyang had already taken out more than 50,000 troops to help Zhao Chongqing, and the people he took away were all vanguards, much stronger than the soldiers who stayed behind.

If their army comes back, they may be able to fight with the troops below.

Of course, this is based on the premise that there are no enemy reinforcements in Liangzhou City.

"Don't worry, they don't seem to want to start a war right away. In that case, we might as well wait."

It's not that they are timid. There are people from several cities standing behind them. If the city here is broken, these people behind them will suffer.

"That's all it can do now."

The three men said so, but they did not dare to slack off for a moment and began to take turns standing guard on the city wall. Even the army in the city stood nervously at the corner gate under the city wall.

Two days passed in this orderly manner.

Early in the morning of the third day, just as Li Tianduo and Zhuang Chenxu were about to change shifts, they heard a commotion coming from under the city wall.

When they looked closely, they saw a man dressed in general's clothes riding a horse towards them.

Those soldiers who were originally disorganized all came out of the tents as if they had received the news, and stood in rows in neat clothes.

Both of them were stunned when they saw the face of the person coming.

"Jiang Chunan?" Zhuang Chenxu spoke first.

Li Tianduo knew about Jiang Chunan. He had heard something about the last battle. Not only that, he also heard that Jiang Chunan was severely beaten by his sister-in-law.
