Qin Yuan and the other generals of Zhuye City didn't know that the main general camp of the Ji Kingdom at this moment was like a fried pot.

"Why do we want us to withdraw our troops and retreat to Yongguan, and what about the arrival of Dalong's reinforcements? As long as we take the city of Zhuye, the land of Dalong will be placed in front of our eyes, and we will be trampled on by the iron hooves of our army. ”

There was a fat general with a look of disdain.

Liu Yi got up this morning and issued the strongest offensive order, but he told them to withdraw his troops. This is completely unacceptable, seeing that the city of Zhuye is about to be taken, who will want to withdraw at this time?

Liu Yi majestically swept over every deputy general in front of him, and his heart was disgusted with them to the extreme, these moths of the Ji country, only taking the country's money, only thinking about picking up cheap wars, and now they are watching the Ji country army is in the limelight, so they are reluctant to withdraw, and when a few days later, Dalong's reinforcements arrive, at that time, I am afraid that they will be deserters first for various reasons.

"Our army has been attacking the city for a long time, and the soldiers are tired, and yesterday I received news that Dalong's reinforcements arrived on the same day, and at that time, it was even more difficult for our army to attack the city. Rather than that, it is better to return to Yongguan to hold on, Yongguan has a geographical location where a husband is a pass and ten thousand people are not open, and after Yongguan is the border pass of the Ji country, do not worry about the supply of grain and grass, as long as we stick to it, Dalong is no longer a strong general. ”

Slowly, Liu Yi said without any expression.

"Hmph, how do you know that we won't be able to break through the city? The fat general muttered unconvinced.

"Hehe, General Mi said it very easily, for Dalong, only a quick battle and a quick victory by taking advantage of its unpreparedness can our army have a three-point chance of winning, although the dry ferry and Yongguan are two border passes, they are actually one, and if you can take the dry ferry, you will naturally be able to win Yongguan. And the city of Zhuye was prepared after our army attacked Yongguan, and without the reinforcements of Dalong, the city of Zhuye was still defended for three months, and it was ....."

Speaking of this, Liu Yi paused for a moment, and then said slowly:

"It is also His Majesty's will to withdraw troops. ”

When they heard that it was the will of the Thistle Emperor to withdraw the troops, the rest of the generals were all shocked.

"Why did Your Majesty withdraw your troops?" asked a general.

"The three kingdoms of Yanlong, Jiang Li, and Xiwu have officially declared war on Jiguo, and the commander is Chang Yueming, the prince of Yanlong. Liu Yi said lightly.

All the lieutenants gasped.

"Your Majesty asks us to retreat to Yongguan and hold on, so that we can retreat and defend, and we can also draw part of our troops to defend the attack of Yanlong's army. ”

When he saw that no one was questioning, he continued:

"Pass my order, pretend to attack the city during the day, withdraw the army at night, and be sure to evacuate this place within three days. ”

"General, isn't it a little nervous to evacuate in three days? With so many soldiers, they can only be evacuated at night, and it will take five days. "Another adjutant general raised the difficulty of withdrawing troops.

Liu Yi slapped the table and ordered coldly: "You must evacuate the city within three days, and anyone who drags it will be executed on the spot." ”

In the early morning of the third day, when the first rays of light spilled over the mountains in the east, the soldiers defending the city suddenly found that there was an empty field in the sky, and they rubbed their eyes in unison.

"Are you dreaming, where is the army of the Ji country?" Suddenly they reacted: "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, the people of the Ji country have withdrawn." They cried out for joy.

"What thistle country withdrew?"

Qin Yuan in the Shuai's Mansion looked stunned, and after being stunned, he hurriedly climbed the city tower and looked at the place where the Ji State Tent had been pressed, and under the reckless mountains was the empty fields and the thin autumn morning mist shrouded in the fields.

This is impossible, with Liu Yi's recklessness, how could he evacuate so quietly, is he really afraid of Dalong's reinforcements?

While he was pondering, a soldier guarding the city suddenly shouted excitedly

"General, general, reinforcements are coming!"

"What?"

He was once again astonished, and had received a message the night before yesterday that reinforcements would arrive on the fifth day, and that it would be the third day.

In a hurry, he came to the gate tower of the West City, and looked down, and saw a group of soldiers, all dressed in black cloth and sitting on horses, and it could be seen that they were covered with dust in the starry night, but this could not hide the majestic morale on their bodies.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he looked at the banner erected in the middle of the team, and it was indeed the banner of the great dragon.

"Open the gates. ”

The crunching gates were slowly pushed open.

Eighteen thousand cavalry slowly entered the city, the whole team was quiet and solemn, and the horses marched in unison.

"General Zuo has worked hard. Qin Yuan greeted the general of the Left Banner who came with his army.

"General Qin was ordered by the general to lead the vanguard battalion to aid the city, but he didn't find the army of the Ji Kingdom?" Zuo Qi was the same age as Qin Yuan, and he used to be a soldier in the military camp.

"The army of the Thistle Kingdom has withdrawn last night. Qin Yuan replied.

"Huh?"

Zuo Qi also showed surprise on his face, "The brigade will only arrive at Zhuye City in five days, and besides, with Liu Yi's character, he shouldn't retreat." ”

"Yes, but he just retreated, and he retreated so quickly. Qin Yuan said helplessly, he originally wanted to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, so that he could lead the army out of the city to fight with the people of Jiguo, but Liu Yi did not give him such a chance.

"Haha, it seems that he knows the message that our army is coming. Zuo Qi smiled heartily and said, "It's good that General Qin can rest at ease for a while, Lu Bing." He shouted to a young soldier with a bow and arrow.

A young man in black rolled over and dismounted, "What does the general command?"

"You lead five hundred soldiers to inquire in the direction of the withdrawal of the troops of the Ji Kingdom to see how far they have evacuated. ”

"Yes"

By the time Fengzhao stepped into the city, the city had already returned to its former peace, and if it weren't for the intense restoration work in the city, no one would have thought that there had been a tragic war here.

"General, the last general's defense is unfavorable, resulting in the loss of the dry ferry and Yongguan, please punish the general. Seeing Qin Yuan, who was holding the handsome seal in front of him and bowing his head to take the blame, there was a touch of approval in his eyes.

To be able to survive Liu Yi's arrows, and to be able to hold the city of teaching during this difficult period of his natural way.

"General Qin, this is the letter that Ling Mei brought to you. He didn't pay attention to Qin Yuan's guilt, but just took out the letter that Qin Min had entrusted him to carry from his sleeve.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and took the letter handed over by Feng Zhao.

"Now that the country of Ji has been evacuated, I quickly sent someone to the family to seal a letter of peace to relieve the worries of Sister Ling and Lord Qin. A faint wind shone and said.

And there was a trace of moisture in Qin Yuan's eyes.
