After the news came to the city of northern Hebei, it spread like wildfire.

The morale of the officers and men of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, inspired by the victory of the war, fell down in an instant, and the army was in a state of panic.

In Hongdu City, after Li Keqi learned from his deputy general about the casualties of Xichuan soldiers in the first World War of Hebei city, he was so angry that he fell ill and was in a state of depression.

However, at this time, the deputy general appeared in the manager's account with an urgent secret letter from Yucheng, the capital of Xichuan.

Li Keqi struggled to open the secret letter. When he saw the content clearly, he was in a state of great energy and renewed his fighting spirit.

This battle, a big victory and a big defeat, for Li Keqi, a veteran of the battlefield, is just like a big lesson in his career.

This time, God not only sent reinforcements, but also sent Xiao Yiyuan back to him, who had lost his trace since Hong capital fled.

He got rid of his previous arrogance and arrogance, and went deep into the water to plan carefully.

……

The next day is not the time

The west gate of Hongdu city is wide open. Xiao Yiyuan's prison car, escorted by Xichuan's heavy soldiers, slowly drives into the city.

After the prison wagon, there was a vast army of 150000 people in Xichuan, and a wagon of food and materials.

As reinforcements continued to enter the city, the decadence of the army in Xichuan was all over the place, and the morale rose again.

With the magic weapon in hand, Li Keqi was not in a hurry to fight. Instead, he deliberately left the army of the Eastern Qing Dynasty for three days before leading his troops out of Hongdu city again.

In these three days, dongfangkuo sent many generals to lead the troops to fight outside Hongdu City, but Li Keqi could not fight.

Three days later, Li Keqi saw that the decline of the Eastern Qing Dynasty was becoming more and more obvious. He felt that the time had come. He once again ordered the general to lead the troops. He came out of the east gate of Hongdu city and met Dongfang Youlang, who was just outside the city.

Although Li Keqi didn't know Dongfang Youlang, he guessed his identity from his special armor.

At this time, although he no longer underestimated the enemy as before, Dongfang Youlang was still unable to enter his eyes.

With a cold sneer, he whispered to the deputy general beside him, and then he spoke again to Dongfang Youlang. The loud voice came into Dongfang Youlang's ear at a distance of 100 Zhang

"Let Xia Jin come to the front immediately, otherwise, the commander will let Xiao Yiyuan's blood spill on the spot!"

As his voice fell, a tall chariot was quickly pushed to the front by the soldiers.

At the front end of the chariot, a man with scattered hair, shabby robes, blood stained and drooping head was tied up.

Without looking more, Dongfang Youlang recognized that this man was his very familiar superior, Xiao Yiyuan, the military spirit of Dongqing.

Even though he had been psychologically prepared before, when he saw Xiao Yiyuan's embarrassing scene with his own eyes, Dongfang Youlang still couldn't suppress his full heart shock and cried out to Xiao Yiyuan who was still in a coma:

"Lord Yi"

"This thief is so bold that he dares to assassinate my third prince. I'm very angry. Last night, he was tortured all night. I think he can't wake up today! "

Li Keqi didn't miss any chance to destroy Dongqing's morale. His voice mixed with internal power was transmitted to more than 1000 Dongqing officers and soldiers in the opposite.

Dongfang Youlang on the horse's back clenched his fist, clenched his jaw, and his forehead was blue. His eyes were full of ice dregs. He wished he could kill Li Keqi immediately.

"Little general, you'd better send a message quickly and let Xia Tixing come here?"

A famous general on the left side of Dongfang Youlang's body sees that he just stares at Li Keqi with hatred. He has no other reaction and can't help reminding him.

With a deep and serious voice, Dongfang Youlang immediately regained his consciousness, summoned a subordinate officer and rushed back to the northern city of Hebei as soon as possible to inform the general Dongfang Kuo of the situation here.

The subordinate officials galloped back to the northern city of Hebei Province on horseback and ran into the assembly hall of the general's residence at a speed comparable to running for their lives.

At this time, the assembly hall was quite crowded. All the generals, including Xia Jin, who did not go to the capital of Hong, would gather to discuss how to rescue Xiao Yiyuan.

Seeing that the subordinate officer rushed in, the people immediately stopped talking. The subordinate officer quickly reported the situation outside Hongdu to the people, and then said:

"Li Keqi threatened that if Xia Tixing didn't go to the battle immediately, he would let King Yi's blood spill on the spot!"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the assembly hall suddenly became so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

In the end, Xia Jin was the first to break the silence

"General Dongfang, now that Lord Yi is in the hands of Li Keqi, we have lost the opportunity to take the initiative. Since he has such a request, it is convenient for me to go before the battle."

Xia Jin gets up from her seat and steps to the center of the hall, her face covered with determination.

Dongfang Kuo understood that there was no other way to do it, and nodded his head and agreed:

"Ben will go with you!"

After coming out of the assembly hall, Xia Jin called Wu Zhong, who was waiting outside the hall, and after a few words of explanation in a low voice, she left the general's house with Dongfang Kuo and headed for Hongdu city.

It was noon when they arrived outside Hongdu.

At this time, it is summer, and the scorching sun is burning the earth, which makes people feel restless.

Xia Jin and dongfangkuo, on horseback, stopped in front of the Dongqing army and faced Li Keqi.

As soon as Xia Jinfu got to the front of the battle, his eyes were glued to the chariot, bleeding all over, drooping his head, and even the body of Xiao Yiyuan, who did not know his life and death.

Seeing that the God like man was in such a dilemma that day, Xia Jin felt a dull pain in her heart. Every breath was hard to be hurt.

She held the reins of the hand tightly, manicured nails even pierced the palm, severe pain, but she seemed unconscious.

Xiao Yiyuan, I must save you! Kill those who hurt you!

Heartache to the extreme, Xia Jin full of intention to kill.

Li Keqi, who was opposite, saw that she really came, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, which was immediately replaced by the evil.

After a burst of laughter, he made a straightforward request:

"Xia Jin, I don't know what's the past between you and Xiao Yiyuan. If you want to save him, you can trade yourself for it!"

In the secret letter that Li Keqi received, Yushi repeatedly told him to pull Xia Jin into the Xichuan camp at any cost. If Xia Jin was really stubborn, he would kill her and never let her work for Dongqing.

After Li Keqi opened her mouth, Xia Jin didn't respond immediately. Her eyebrows were wrinkled together, and her teeth clenched her lower lip. Her body was shaking with strong anger.

Seeing that she was speechless, Li Keqi just stared at Xiao Yiyuan. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he gave an ultimatum. His words were full of strong insidious and cruel meaning. His body and mind trembled when he heard her. He wanted to eat his meat and drink his blood.

"If you don't agree, or deliberately delay, every other hour, I will order someone to cut off one of his fingers!"
