Chapter 23 Tit-for-tat

The southwest is mountainous and watery, and Wuxi City is built between mountains and rivers.

To the north of Wuxi City is Wuxi Mountain, a natural barrier between Tianfu County and Yunshan County, to the south is Fengqi Mountain, and to the west is a big river dug by manpower.

As one of the passages between Tianfu County and Yunshan County, there are often wars in Maxi City.

However, because Fu Mingshan, who controls Yunshan County, used his main force to defend the attack of General Changshan, the wars in Maxi City in the past 20 or 30 years have only been minor conflicts.

Compared with other junctions, Maxi City is a relatively safe place.

However, such a safe place had a great riot at noon on the third day of Xiao Yu's departure from Chuanzhou City because of an announcement.

I heard that the 8,000 defenders in Maxi City were going to withdraw 5,000. Except for a very small number of happy people, the vast majority of the people in Maxi City began to worry.

Although the vast majority of the people are unwilling to leave Maxi City, where they have lived for many years, some people still made the decision to leave Maxi City with the defenders.

The defenders of Wuxi City posted a notice at noon, but the time when 5,000 defenders were ready to leave Wuxi City was three o'clock.

Five thousand defenders were in front, and more than two thousand people were behind. These people went out of the city with a lot of carriages, with some intention of giving up Maxi City.

The team stopped before more than 7,000 people left Maci City completely.

Tang Yue was too confident in doing things. Knowing that Xiao Yu was very disgusted with his use of Xiao Yuanfeng in those years, he still believed that Xiao Yu would make friends with him.

However, after Xiao Yu really arrived at the Tang family, Tang Yue found that his self-confidence had become arrogant.

As Xiao Yu and Lin Beiwen guessed, Tang Yue did not plan to let Xiao Yu take over Maxi City.

When Xiao Yu left Chuanzhou City, Tang Yue sent a message to Wuxi City through specially trained flying pigeons, and asked the guards there to take away the main armaments of Wuxi City when he left Wuxi City with 5,000 elites.

Tang Anqi, the general of Maxi City, reacted quickly enough that it only took more than an hour to prepare to leave Maxi City. However, he had not completely taken 5,000 elites out of Maxi City, but Xiao Yu appeared outside Maxi City.

Looking at the carriage among the soldiers, Xiao Yu knew what Tang Yue was going to do.

Xiao Yu secretly sneered, raised the flag, and quietly looked at Tang Anqi, who was riding in front of him.

Tang Anqi stared at Xiao Yu and hesitated for a while and said in a low voice, "Tang Anqi, the general under the command of General Tang, was ordered to take troops back to Chuanzhou. Please get out of the way."

Xiao Yu sneered and stared at Tang Anqi and said in a low voice, "Tang Anqi, leave Wuxi City before the arrival of the general who takes over the defenders. Are you going to give up Wuxi City to Fu Mingshan?"

Tang Anqi frowned and replied in a low voice, "The general asked me to leave Maxi City now. He should have received the news that Maxi City will not be attacked in the near future. If the general has any questions about the general's order, he can go to the general for an answer."

At this moment, Tang Anqi still pretends not to know Xiao Yu's identity.

"If you leave the city before the general arrives in Wuxi City, I will report to the king and ask the king to make a judgment on this matter."

Since Tang Anqi didn't say anything, Xiao Yu said her identity.

"How does the general falsely accuse me of the general as a general? Now please ask the general to get out of the way and don't stop me from going on his way. According to the military law, those who hinder the army's journey will be sentenced to capital punishment. Please take care of yourself.

After saying this, Tang Anqi waved his hand gently and walked forward with his soldiers.

Xiao Yu sneered at Tang Anqi and opened her mouth and shouted.

"Roar!"

Xiao Yu was not far from Tang Anqi. He tried his best to use the tiger roar magic power. He not only stunned Tang Anqi and the thousands of people behind him for a moment, but also scared all the horses to the ground.

Although Tang Anqi had the cultivation of the God-level, he was still thrown more than two feet away by the horse who suddenly fell to the ground.

After getting up in some confusion, Tang Anqi patted the dust on his body and asked Xiao Yu angrily, "General Xiao, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. Xiao just asked the general to stop and look at General Tang's documents. According to the rules, I need you to take a look at the documents of General taking over Wuxi City."

Xiao Yu and Tang Yue both knew that the King of Ming would not care about some of the fights between them. Therefore, Tang Yue dared to take over Xiao Yu's bad move to Maxi City, and Xiao Yu also dared to confront him head-to-face.

Who will have the upper hand outside Wuxi City today depends on who has more means.

Tang Anqi's face changed a little, and he said in a low voice to Xiao Yu, "General Xiao, please take out the document!"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and replied in a low voice, "With the rules, after General Tang read this document, he should let the 3,000 defenders that I want to take over also have a look. Now that General Tang is still the general of Maxi City, please call out all three of General Tang.

Tang Anqi nodded with a gloomy face and made a wink at the one who followed him on his right.

After the general got the order, he first took a look at the horses that were still twitching, and then walked quickly into the city.

After a quarter and a half of an hour, the departing general rode with three middle-aged people.

As soon as they disarrayed, Tang Anqi said coldly to the three middle-aged people, "This General Xiao is your future general. Why don't you see him quickly?"

The three middle-aged people looked at Tang Anqi and hesitated for a moment. They bowed to Xiao Yu and said, "Liu Chang, Tang Gui and Fan Tianfeng, see the general!"

Although Xiao Yu had never led a soldier, he had experienced the battlefield and was familiar with the people in the army. He looked at the three people, and he knew that the three had never experienced a war.

There are all those who have not experienced the war, but Xiao Yu is sure that these three people are not all.

With a slight frown, Xiao Yu took out the document from the universe bag and handed it to Tang Anqi.

After reading the document, Tang Anqi handed it to Liu Chang, who was closest to him.

After Liu Chang, Tang Gui and Fan Tianfeng also read the documents, Tang Anqi said to Xiao Yu with a faint smile, "General Xiao, you have read the documents. You should make way!"

"Wait a minute!"

He replied to Tang Anqi faintly, and Xiao Yu turned her eyes to Liu Chang and the other three.

"Each of you brings 300 soldiers here and let me feel the momentum of the defenders of Maxi City."

As soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, Liu Chang and the other two turned their eyes to Tang Anqi.

"Now this general is your main general. Do you want to disobey the general's order?"

Xiao Yu questioned harshly and released a murderous atmosphere to Liu Chang and the other three.

Feeing the murder on Xiao Yu, Liu Chang and the other two hurriedly kowtowed.

"Why don't you go!"

"Yes!"

Liu Chang replied in a hurry and got on the horse and ran towards the city.

When Liu Chang and the other two left, Tang Anqi winked at the three people. Unfortunately, the panicked three did not see Tang Anqi's wink.

Hearing the sound of Liu Chang's horseshoes getting farther and farther away, Tang Anqi turned his eyes to Xiao Yu again.

Seeing the resentment in Tang Anqi's eyes, Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "General Tang, you should understand in your heart that although you and I are the same general, our status is different. At the time of Mingdu, the prince and princess were commensurate with the general's brothers and sisters; in Chuanzhou, the general dared to call General Tang's name directly. You have no chance of winning when you fight with me, so don't feel resentful. To put it in a bad way, you are just a pawn for General Tang to embarrass General Ben. Even if General kills you, General Tang can't help me. When General Ben takes over Wuxi City, you can leave peacefully.

After Tang Anqi's face changed, the resentment in his eyes was replaced by decadence.

On the surface, it seemed that Tang Anqi was convinced, but for the precautity, Xiao Yu did not take back his momentum on Tang Anqi.

About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Chang and the other three appeared in front of Xiao Yu with 900 soldiers.

"My subordinates brought the people the general wanted!"

Xiao Yu nodded gently and turned her eyes to the 900 soldiers brought by Liu Chang and the others.

Although there are many new recruits among these 900 soldiers, they are between fifteen and thirty-five years old, which makes Xiao Yu feel a little different.

After sweeping these soldiers twice, Xiao Yu pointed out three soldiers in their early thirties.

Although the cultivation of these three soldiers is in the Qi level, judging from their evil spirit, these three have experienced a lot of wars.

"What's your name?"

"Zhang Ji! Wang Tie! Liu Qingshan!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said to the three people in a low voice, "Now I temporarily order you to take these 900 people to pull all those carriages back into the city."

The three of them looked at each other and bowed together and said, "General Zun!"

When Zhang Ji and the other two took the soldiers to pull the carriages, Tang Anqi's men all looked at Tang Anqi. Seeing that Tang Anqi did not say anything, they did not dare to stop them.

In a while, Zhang Ji and the others pulled all the carriages brought out by Tang Anqi back to the city.

He glanced coldly at the soldiers under Tang Anqi who seemed to be going to riot, and Xiao Yu let go of the momentum of suppressing Tang Anqi.

While getting free, Tang Anqi found that Xiao Yu had an extra sword in his hand.

Seeing the undisguised murder in Xiao Yu's eyes, Tang Anqi and his two generals looked at each other, glanced coldly at Xiao Yu's face, turned around and said in a low voice to the soldiers under his command, "Let's go!"

When Tang Anqi and his army left quickly, Xiao Yu stood in the middle of the road and abruptly divided Tang Anqi's neat army into two halves.

When Tang Anqi's soldiers and nearly a thousand people who were still leaving with them passed Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu's voice suddenly sounded in Tang Anqi's ear.

"Go back and tell the owner that Xiao and the Tang family have no grudge before, and there is no intention to have a grudge in the future. However, if he really wants to be embarrassed with Xiao, Xiao will also accompany him to the end. Xiao is not afraid of the Xia family in Taikang County, let alone the Tang family in Tianfu County.

Tang Anqi paused slightly, looked at the two generals who followed him, and then walked forward.
