Zeng Jie?!

Of course, Zhou Yukun is no stranger to this name, he used to be a close staff member under Yuan Shu, but now he should have been imprisoned in Shouchun City by himself. But why, it was he who wrote a letter to Shi Qian to persuade him to surrender?

In other words, Zeng Jie may have escaped from Shouchun in some way, and contacted his lord Yuan Shu, and then secretly lurked in Yangzhou, trying to take Jianye City in one fell swoop!

"Yukun, I'm sorry, I'm also responsible for this matter." Yuan Xinwen, who was on the side, suddenly lowered her head with a look of self-blame.

Zhou Yukun asked suspiciously: "You are also responsible?" Why, this has nothing to do with you? ”

Yuan Xinwen had a wry smile on her pretty face: "No, in fact, I can understand the reason for the defection of those two." Do you remember, when you just ran away from home, you once met two Star Chosen Ones chasing and killing, and it was actually the two of them. It's just that they were also instructed at the time, and they didn't really have ill will towards you, so I didn't think much about introducing them to my strength. But ......"

"However, after the merger of our two forces, the two of them are worried that I will recognize them, and even fear that I will not forget my old enmity against them, right?"

Yuan Xinwen nodded with a painful face: "I'm sorry, Yukun, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, they wouldn't be ......."

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you for this, I know that you are also well-intentioned, and the fault lies with them and not with you!" After speaking, Zhou Yukun smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently soothed her on the top of her head. Then he turned his head to look at Shi Qian, who was kneeling on one knee: "You also get up, I believe your words, and I will not blame the two of them on your head, you are innocent." ”

Shi Qian was slightly stunned, and then looked at Zhou Yukun's gaze and instantly became moved. If he only opened his mouth to call Zhou Yukun the lord because of Yuan Xinwen before, then he now has some identification with Zhou Yukun. People say that adversity sees true love, but when a critical situation occurs on his body, Zhou Yukun trusts himself so much, how can he not be moved?

At this time, Wei Chu, who had been silent beside him, suddenly opened his mouth and asked Qin Hongzhi: "Mr. Qin, may I ask what is the current battle situation, how many enemy forces are there, and how long can our side hold out?" Wei Chu knew that he should not think about how things happened now, but how to solve this matter, so he asked these most critical questions.

Qin Hongzhi had also calmed down at this time, and was no longer as anxious as before: "Well, I escaped from the city two days ago. At that time, 30% of the defenders in our army city were rebelled by Feng Laoqi and the others, and the remaining men and horses were only about 80,000. And the army besieging the city on the other side was not a small number, at least about 120,000, plus Feng Laoqi's more than 30,000 people, it was already about twice the number of our defenders. ”

As soon as he heard this number, Zhou Yukun couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect Yuan Shu to send such a huge army in order to take Jianye City. Although the city defense of Jianye City is very stable, it cannot make up for the huge gap in numbers, according to his estimates, the two generals Lu Cheng and Lin Zhong can only hold on for about half a month at most.

"No, I'm going to find Yuan Shao to resign, I can't participate in this attack on Dong Zhuo's remnants, we have to rush back to the rescue!"

"Lord, please wait." "My lord, please think twice."

Zhou Yukun looked at Wei Chu and Lu Su who were speaking in unison with some astonishment, and asked puzzledly: "What, shouldn't our top priority now be to relieve the siege of Jianye City?" ”

After Wei Chu and Lu Su glanced at each other, they opened their mouths to explain: "Of course, Jianye City is the core of our territory, and if it is breached, it will not be a good thing. However, the best way now is not to rush back directly, but to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, so as to solve the problem in the most efficient way. ”

was mentioned by him like this, and Zhou Yukun also woke up instantly: "Oh, I understand! You mean let's focus on the present, since Yuan Shu dares to secretly attack my main city, then I can also capture the thief and capture the king first. Now that Yuan Shu himself is by our side, if we can catch him directly, we can threaten his subordinates to evacuate. ”

When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lord, I have to say that your ability to draw inferences is very powerful. Originally, I just wanted to suggest that you turn to attack the relatively close Yuan Shu main city, but I didn't expect you to be bolder than us and want to directly arrest their lord. ”

Zhou Yukun laughed lightly: "Such a good opportunity, how can we let it go?" Half a month, we must get Yuan Shu done within half a month, are we all confident? ”

Everyone was shocked and shouted, "Yes!! ”

……

Five days passed quietly, and Sima Hui, who had answered all the princes' questions, set off and returned to Yingchuan. And Yuan Shao, as the leader of this alliance, once again gathered all the princes and prepared to start leading the troops to Chang'an City, which was headed for Sili.

Zhou Yukun, who saw Yuan Shao again, found that there was a deep anger and unwillingness hidden in the look on his face. Zhou Yukun knew that Guan Canghai should have escaped safely, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. But after seeing Yuan Shu's gloomy face, his mood became bad again, because he had already seen the cunning in Yuan Shu's eyes when he looked at him.

Hmph, you can be proud while you still have time, and when the time comes, I'll catch you and see what chance you have to be proud!

As for this heroic crusade, Zhou Yukun is not worried at all, first of all, Dong Zhuo's subordinates have become a mess, their strength has already been greatly reduced, the other party will definitely lose this battle, it can only be seen how long they can last.

Moreover, Zhou Yukun did not have much ambition to compete for the benefits of this victory, but instead focused all his energy on dealing with Yuan Shu. It is precisely because Zhou Yukun understands him, understands his ambitions, and knows that he will definitely not let go of the benefits this time, so Zhou Yukun dares to muster up the courage to fight once, and he wants to capture Yuan Shu once and for all!

Of course, among these princes, not only Zhou Yukun has the little Jiujiu in his heart, but the other princes are not good at stubble, and they have set out on the road of conquest with ghosts in their hearts. This short journey, the entire army walked for nearly two days before it reached its destination.

From a distance, Zhou Yukun had already seen a small checkpoint in front of him, this was the first line of defense outside Dong Zhuo's territory, although the number was small, it should not be underestimated, just because it was the extremely famous Tiger Prison Pass in history!

With the dusty army slowly marching to the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Shao took the lead and came to the city wall. I heard a man on the city wall ask in a loud voice, "Who belongs to the army under the city?" ”

Yuan Shao pretended to have a smiling face: "We are the assassins appointed by Prime Minister Hu Cheng, and this time we are here to bring troops at the invitation of the envoy to help the prime minister exterminate the traitorous party and thieves, please let us pass the customs and converge." ”

When the general on the wall heard this, he didn't open the city gate directly, but still asked cautiously: "Since your lords are here to exterminate the rebels, you should pass the diploma, please let me pass the test after confirming the authenticity." ”

When Zhou Yukun heard this, he frowned slightly, and gently clenched the star selector in his hand, because he knew that his group was not here to exterminate Sun Weihao at all, let alone any diploma.

What to do, can you only use your hands to attack?
