Chapter 133: Colluding with the enemy and betraying the emperor?

At this time, the Qing army had just entered the city and had no time to repair it, so Zong Yanli led his troops to surround and attack.

Zhuo Kangshun was extremely shocked when he saw this scene: "How could Zong Yanli come back to help so quickly!?"

"There are also enemies at the west gate!"

"Enemy troops are attacking from the north gate!"

"Not good! Your Majesty, the granaries in the city are all empty. Although there is smoke from cooking in the homes of the people in the city, no one is there. This is an empty city!" The generals who wanted to seize food, fodder and military equipment as soon as they entered the city rushed forward but found nothing. They immediately realized that they had fallen into a trap.

Zhuo Kangshun stood up suddenly in shock and anger, and hurriedly asked someone to invite Wu Liren to come and said, "Linxi City is actually an empty city! The Wu army has already made a plan, what should we do? "

Wu Liren was slightly shocked, and immediately frowned and said, "Impossible, the information our army received cannot be wrong."

Zhuo Kangshun was anxious: "So what do you think is going on?!"

"It would be fine if we spent so much manpower to capture an empty city, but now the enemy is coming from all sides to attack us, turning defense into offense!" Zhuo Kangshun said in great frustration, "How can our powerful siege rams be used to defend the city!?"

"Your Majesty, please do not be anxious." Wu Liren's expression changed rapidly, and then he said hurriedly as if he had thought of something: "The most urgent thing is to order someone to recall General Yuan to meet the enemy!"

"Yes, yes..." Zhuo Kangshun then remembered that he had just sent Yuan Heng to chase the enemy troops defending the city. He felt extremely regretful and hurriedly sent someone to call Yuan Heng back.

"The enemy was able to arrive so quickly, someone must have leaked the news." Wu Liren did not mention that he had made a wrong judgment, and directly said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty should investigate carefully!"

"What? Are you saying there is a spy around me?" Zhuo Kangshun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Wu Liren nodded very affirmatively, and said with reason and evidence that all our army's deployments were so tight, and the enemy was not able to predict the situation, so how could they clear Linxi in advance and leave an empty city?

Wu Liren's words were extremely firm, and the more Zhuo Kangshun listened, the more he thought it made sense. Several suspicions instantly popped up in his mind, but he did not have time to investigate at the moment, because the Wu troops from various locations outside the city had already rushed in with their troops.

The Qing army had not had time to rest after the siege, so they attacked with all their might, thinking they would gain a lot after entering the city, but they came up empty-handed.

Now the soldiers of Qing State were tired and hungry, and they had just learned that they had entered an empty city. Then they turned around and saw the Wu army besieging the city. They were almost in a state of panic. How could they have the morale to meet the enemy?

Zhuo Kangshun ordered his men to look for Yuan Heng, but Yuan Heng did not return for a long time. Seeing that the Wu army's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, our soldiers had not seen their commander for a long time and were now leaderless.

"Could it be that General Yuan escaped under the pretext of pursuing the enemy?" Wu Liren said in a panic.

"Absolutely impossible!" Zhuo Kangshun's heart skipped a beat and he interrupted coldly.

"General Yuan could have taken down the city defense army long ago. The emperor is trapped in Linxi now. It is impossible that General Yuan is unaware of this, but he has not returned for a long time..."

"How could it be so perfect? ​​Could it be that General Yuan knew that Wu State was going to besiege the city, so he fled?" Wu Liren threw all the blame on Yuan Heng and said, "Your Majesty, doesn't you think General Yuan has been very strange these days?"

Zhuo Kangshun was confused when he heard Wu Liren's words, and his mind unconsciously followed Wu Liren's words to think and guess.

Wu Liren was eager to get rid of the matter of his own advice, and said with great sorrow: "Your Majesty and I have always been together, but General Yuan, as the commander-in-chief, has never understood the enemy's movements. Could it be that..."

"Colluded with the enemy and betrayed the emperor?"

"This Linxi City is a bargaining chip. Are you trying to lure me into a trap?"

The more Wu Liren talked, the more Zhuo Kangshun felt disappointed. Finally, considering that Yuan Heng had repeatedly disobeyed him during this period, he repeatedly advised him to withdraw his troops...

Wu Liren saw that the time was almost right, and immediately said hurriedly: "I don't believe that General Yuan would do such a thing. Could it be that he is resentful because he failed to lead the army and was blamed by the emperor?"

Now Wu Liren had figured out the whole cause and effect for Zhuo Kangshun. Even though Zhuo Kangshun couldn't believe it at all, the seed of doubt had been planted. Zhuo Kangshun kicked over the table in front of him without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Wu Liren knelt down and bowed, "The morale of the army is low right now. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the enemy."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to put on your armor and lead the troops to the battlefield in person!" Wu Liren said with loyalty in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am willing to escort you!"

Zhuo Kangshun looked at Wu Liren who was so loyal, and then compared him with Yuan Heng who was completely gone. He became more and more ruthless. He personally helped Wu Liren to stand up, waved his hand and said angrily: "Bring the military flag! I will lead the troops myself!"

As Zhuo Kangshun personally went to the battlefield, it did help boost morale.

When the soldiers of Qing State saw Zhuo Kangshun appear, they knew that they had not been abandoned and everything was still possible, so they immediately fought back.

The battle of Linxi City lasted for two days and two nights.

Finally, the Yiqing army ran out of food and had to abandon the city and flee.

Zong Yanli never slacked off, and pursued the remaining soldiers of the Qing Kingdom in one go, driving them all the way out of Yuanshi Pass.

After chasing for seven days and eight nights, it was a pity that Zong Yanli failed to capture Zhuo Kangshun. The lions of Qing State were completely defeated, the chief coach of Qing State, Yuan Heng, was captured alive, and dozens of chariots and crossbow carts were seized. This was a godsend for the Wu Army!

Linxi City is full of traces of war. Yuan Heng and Dong Haoqiang fought each other and both were injured. Now one is lying in the hospital bed and the other is locked in a cell.

Zong Yanli sent the White Eagle Army out to wipe out the remaining scattered generals of the Qing Kingdom, but he himself returned to Linxi City after failing to catch up with Zhuo Kangshun.
