Chapter 873: Sunrise in the East (98)

Qi State, ten miles away from Rongcheng, Tian Fucheng's face was gloomy as if he could drip water, Zhu Wei, as the vanguard of the army, was closed in Rongcheng, thinking that things were done seamlessly, and his return to the army was also fast, even if someone wanted to inform, it was impossible to avoid the search of his scouts, the road to Qi had been blocked, why could Rongcheng dare to keep his army out.

"General Tian, that Rongcheng County Commander is extremely rude, not only did he not allow us to enter the city behind closed doors, but he also refused to provide us with grain and grass, and he also scolded the general above the city! Thinking of the unbearable words scolded by the county order, Zhu Wei's face was extremely ugly.

"What is this county order scolding? Tian Fucheng asked.

"General! "

"Say! Tian Fucheng said sharply.

"He, he scolded the general for being disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and he was simply the first shameless man since ancient times, and he said that if the general still has a little bit of shame, he should lead the army to attack the Eastern Army and rescue Xiangye and the tens of thousands of Qi people." Zhu Wei lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Bastard! Tian Fucheng was suddenly furious, "Zhu Wei, go, take your troops and capture Rongcheng for me, I want to see what kind of skills this Rongcheng county commander who has eaten leopard gall, bring him alive to me!" "

"Yes! Zhu Wei looked at Tian Fucheng with a distorted face, didn't dare to say anything, turned and left.

Huo Siwei and Wang Pei glanced at each other, and they both saw a bad look in each other's eyes. Huo Siwei stood up, walked in front of Tian Fucheng, and said: "Second son, I'm afraid that the situation is not good, it seems that the real situation of our departure from Langya has been known to the country, and now is not the time to be entangled in Rongcheng, this Rongcheng County Order is just an official the size of a sesame." , two fingers twisted him away, and when can he not be cleaned up? "

Tian Fucheng's eyes were red, and he stared at Huo Siwei viciously, "Just say what you want to say."

"Second son, Jimo, we must send troops to Jimo immediately, if we can't take Jimo quickly, then we can't rush to Linzi according to the expected time, if we don't take Linzi, second son." That's really not good, let the eldest prince have time to organize troops and horses, then the Qi country will fall into a protracted civil strife." Huo Siwei said loudly.

Tian Fucheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Huo Siwei's words made him recover a little bit of his senses, turned around the room a few times, turned around, and looked at Huo Siwei. "General Huo, you will lead your troops to Jimo immediately, take him down as quickly as possible, and the main force will have to wait here. I had to raise enough food and grass, and I thought I could supply enough food and grass in Rongcheng, but now it seems that I will have to do a lot of work."

Huo Siwei nodded. "Okay, I'll go first, I hope Jimo isn't ready yet. We can make it happen."

Tian Fucheng turned his head and looked at Wang Pei again, "General Wang, you go to Gu Cheng and see if you can get more supplements from there, I have a bad feeling, that brother of mine seems to have gotten the news, and he has already taken precautions."

Wang Pei nodded wordlessly, but he was a little panicked in his heart, if Tian Yuanyuan got the news in advance, the army of tens of thousands of people was afraid that the difficulties faced would be much greater than imagined, the eldest prince controlled the center and had a unique advantage, if the second prince could not take Linzi as quickly as possible and seize the eldest prince, then the prospect would be very bad.

When Huo Siwei arrived in Jimo, one of the five important towns of Qi a few days later, what he saw was the heavily guarded Jimo City, and the generals recruited on the city showed that it was Zou Zhang, a well-known veteran in Qi State, who was defending here. This person is a veteran of the Qi army, and he is also one of Tian Dan's old brothers who made a fortune back then, Tian Dan's staunch supporter, although he has now quit the army because of his age, but his prestige in the army is still not to be underestimated.

Seeing the white-haired veteran Zou Zhang in the city, Huo Siwei couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.

"Huo Siwei, you get out of here." Just when Huo Siwei was weak, there was a sudden angry shout from the city, Huo Siwei looked up, and saw that above the city, Zou Zhang was standing on the battlements with his legs crossed, holding a knife in his hand, pointing at himself angrily.

Huo Siwei's scalp was numb for a while, and he slowly stepped forward, "Old General Zou, please forgive the last general for wearing armor on his body, and he can't pay full salutes."

"Bastard boy! Zou Zhang scolded, "Don't forget how you climbed to where you are today, Lao Tzu was really blind at the beginning, how did you focus on promoting you, a white-eyed wolf, did your conscience let the dog eat?" "

Huo Siwei smiled bitterly and clenched his fists with both hands, "Old general, this reason is difficult to explain, and the last general has his own unspeakable secrets."

"You have an unspeakable fart, but as long as you still have the slightest conscience and loyalty, immediately wave my army to defeat Tian Fucheng, as long as you can do this, I can still keep you fine, prosperous and rich for a lifetime." Zou Zhang shouted.

Huo Siwei shook his head slowly, he had already become a betrayer in front of Tian Dan, if Tian Dan came back, he would not be able to escape a dead word, and even if Tian Dan couldn't come back, the eldest prince would be able to spare himself? Huo Siwei knows Tian Yuanyuan's temperament very well, which is the same as that of the old man.

"Old general, please forgive the last general for not being able to obey orders! He raised his head, "Since it is the old general in Jimo, the last general should retreat to show respect, but if he comes back tomorrow, he will attack the city with all his might, the old general, retire!" "

Huo Siwei bowed deeply to the city, set aside his war horses, and retreated, and his 10,000 soldiers and horses also slowly retreated.

Listening to the scolding of Zou Zhang rolling in from behind, Huo Siwei's face was hot, but he forcibly ignored it and led the army to gradually move away.

Seeing Huo Siwei leaving, Zou Zhang jumped down from above the city, stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his head, "It's so dangerous, fortunately it's Huo Siwei's bastard, if it is replaced by Wang Pei, it will be dangerous today."

Behind him, Chen Dai, the doctor stationed in Jimo, threw himself to the ground and gave Zou Zhang a thumbs up, "The old general is so majestic, he repelled Huo Siwei's tens of thousands of troops with a word."

Zou Zhang let out a long breath, "Majestic, don't you see that my legs are trembling?" Huo Siwei was still a general when Lao Tzu was still a general, just a small tooth general, Lao Tzu promoted him step by step, this kid fought a great war, but people are also quite affectionate, today he retreated, that is a little incense in the past, but this kid does what he says, and when he comes back tomorrow, he must go all out, immediately arrange the city defense, tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be a bloody battle."

Chen Dai sighed deeply: "Frying in the same room, why is it really the reason?" "

Zou Zhang sneered, "What is this?" Tian Fucheng, a wolf-hearted boy, wants to replace Tian Xiang, or has greater ambitions, if he wants to do this, how can there be no reason not to shed blood? Don't you see that Linzi is already bleeding? "

Zou Zhang arrived in Jimo, but half a day earlier than Huo Siwei, the city defense of the entire city has not had time to arrange, Jimo was originally an important town in the northeast of Qi State, and has always been heavily guarded, but unfortunately the army here has been taken away by Tiandan, and now it is trapped in Liaoxi, with Zou Zhang hurried to only three thousand Linzi garrison troops, in the case of not doing a good job in the city defense, if Huo Siwei launched a fierce attack with all his strength, I am afraid that Zou Zhang will not be able to hold it at all, but fortunately, the soldiers are dangerous, and Huo Siwei retreated, Bought valuable time for Jimo.

Huo Siwei knew the truth of the matter a little later, his scout told him, Zou Zhang had just arrived in Jimo, and when there were only a few thousand reinforcements, Huo Siwei was stunned at first, and then laughed, "I didn't expect that the old general Zou had also learned to cheat, when he was young, he was a general who didn't care about fighting, as long as he was happy, just since he had promised the old general, then give him a day, just 3,000 people, defend a big city like Jimo, I'm afraid that there are loopholes everywhere."

After getting this news, Huo Siwei was already in a big decision, and if he took Jimo, Tian Fucheng's army would be able to control the entire northeast of Qi State, no matter what kind of reaction the Linzi side had, this army finally had a foothold.

But the news from the main force later, but Huo Siwei's joy vanished, Zhu Wei took Rongcheng, captured the Rongcheng county commander alive, and sent him to Tian Fucheng's hands, this Tian Ergongzi, actually personally took a knife, and cut the county order alive one by one, and the messenger who sent the letter said that the county order was scolded until death, until Tian Fucheng ordered someone to pull out his tongue.

Huo Siwei sighed, why bother? Kill is killed, such a killing method may be able to deter a group of people, but I am afraid that the negative effect will be more, Tian Ergongzi is still a step behind Tian Dagongzi in terms of the city government, but is there a way back now? I hope that the person I decide to follow will be able to mature day by day.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was just dawn, Huo Siwei's army marched towards Jimo again, and after a night's effort, there were countless siege equipment in his army, which were all improvised last night. The Jimo War is on the verge of breaking out.

Just when the civil war of Qi kicked off, in Linyi, one of the five capitals of Qi State, Qu Wanzheng, the general of Chu State, frowned and looked at the groups of troops walking in front of him, these garrison troops recruited from all over Chu State, in Qu Wan's view, are completely a garbage army, and a batch of high-intensity marches have been eliminated, and now he is carrying out cruel training, and the elimination rate is only afraid to reach more than 50 percent, and when this qiē is completed, the army of more than 100,000 people will arrive here from all over the country, That's amazing, and there are 50,000 people at most.

But that's enough! Qu Wan said in his heart, the people of Qi are about to fight, this is really a good opportunity for Chu State, if you can take Linyi, and then take advantage of the opportunity to dig more benefits. (To be continued......)
