Wu Zixu broke through the only two cities in Jishui City, and then entered Jidong County with the vanguard army.

Before coming to Jidong County, Wu Zixu had been obtaining information about Jidong County, and he learned that Wei Hao had abandoned most of the cities and some garrisons in Jidong County.

Wei Hao gathered the people in the three most important cities in Jidong County, and these three cities connected to each other to form a line of defense.

And Wu Zixu couldn't cross these three cities, because these three cities were in the most important position in Jidong County, and if he crossed them, he would inevitably be attacked by Wei Hao from behind.

It can be said that in order to control Jidong County in the real sense, these three cities must be captured, although there are only three cities left in Jidong County, which has more than ten cities, but Wu Zixu is not relaxed at all, and his mood is even heavier.

These three cities form a line of defense, and in front of him is Xinye Castle, a military fortress in Jidong County, which is flanked by mountains.

Although this place is not the most developed city in Jidong County, it is the most important strategic place in Jidong County, and it is also the barrier of the capital of Jidong County, 'Jidong City'.

There is only one gate in Xinye City, but it can actually be entered from all sides, but there are mountains and rivers on all sides, and if you want the army to climb the mountain to enter, I am afraid it will take a long time, and it is easy to encounter ambushes from the other party.

This is the first barrier of Jidong County that Wu Zixu wants to break, and only by breaking Xinye City can he reach Jidong City.

Of course, there are other roads to Jidong City, but there is a shortcut to the west of Xinye City, which can quickly go to Jidong City and can go straight to Jidong City, if Wu Zixu gives up attacking here, then he is likely to be ambushed by the Wei army of Xinye City halfway.

However, this shortcut can only be used if you break through Xinye City, because the shortcut is lined with mountains, and you can quickly reach the side of Jidong City by taking the shortcut.

At the same time, when this shortcut goes to the back, you can directly cross the river and reach the avenue of Jidong City, which is also Wu Zixu's biggest headache.

Because once the road is detoured, then the other party is very likely to ambush himself from here, and if he wants to prevent an ambush, he must send a large army in this place.

Of course, he can also cross the river, go here, and attack New Leaf City from behind, but this will inevitably be attacked by Jidong City, and that shortcut is full of valleys, which is easier to be ambushed.

And the last city, named Kongshan City, is a granary, there is a huge amount of grain and grass here, from the river, you can transport the grain and grass to Xinye City and Jidong City, to ensure that the grain and grass in the two cities are sufficient.

And this third city is even more impossible to break through, because this city is directly rowed by the river, and he can either go from Hezhong County to it, or he can only take the river road.

And attacking Hezhong County, then the Wei army of Jidong County will inevitably come to stab him in the back, and he crossed the river, first, there are not so many boats, and second, there are boats, and they are not familiar with this big river, and they are likely to encounter the other party's blow when they rush into the river.

Moreover, in the process of shipbuilding, it will also be attacked by Jidong City and Xinye City, so Wu Zixu has no possibility of a detour, so he can only break Xinye City.

At this time, Wu Zixu and his army had arrived at the gate of Xinye City, and there was a moat outside Xinye City, but the water of the moat did not flow into the city.

Before Wu Zixu's army arrived, Wei Hao had already modified the route of the moat, and it can be said that the strategy of breaking the embankment was no longer feasible. 89 Literature Network

Unless you run over to modify the route, but there are other people's soldiers above, and you have to ask the archers of the house if they are willing to get by.

Wu Zixu looked around, the trees around him had to be cut down, and what was left here was a wasteland, not even a single grass.

And there was a strong wind blowing, and occasionally there was gravel, and the soldiers on the side looked at Wu Zixu and asked, "General, how should we meet the battle?" ”

"Let the soldiers rest for a few days, I want to figure it out!" For a while, Wu Zixu doesn't have a very good way, if you attack, it is obvious that the other party is waiting for you, if you attack strongly, I am afraid that you will die.

But in this regard, Wu Zixu did not have a very good way, but Wu Zixu did not choose to attack, although the only way now is to attack, but I have to admit that attacking is a stupid method, and once attacked, I am afraid that a lot of soldiers will be lost.

Wu Zixu did not bring as many soldiers as the Chu State, 700,000 troops, not counting the warrior legion, his vanguard corps dispatched a total of 500,000.

And among these 500,000 troops, including those who include logistics troops, there are only 300,000 soldiers and horses who can fight.

And the state of Chu is different, the 700,000 soldiers and horses of the state of Chu are all soldiers with armor, because the state of Chu is divided into feudal rulers, and the logistics are completely handed over to the nobles from all over the country.

And he Wu Zixu can't do it, his Wu Zixu's logistics can only be dispatched from Luoyang County, and he, as the commander of the Vanguard Legion, is headquartered in Luoyang County, so he can only let his soldiers transport grain and grass.

Although he can apply for Qi Correction in the north or the Yanzhou Army in the east to help him, once transferred, it will require a lot of cost, and after the war, when the credit is divided, I am afraid he will not have much credit.

After all, in the north, it is Qi Jie, the king of Yanyi, who sits on one side, and is Qi Xiaobai's own brother, do you dare to take this battle alone?

Therefore, Wu Zixu decided to go out by himself and did not need the help of others, so his grain and grass were transported by himself and transported here from Luoyang County.

However, now that he has taken control of Jixi County, he can dispatch the grain and grass of Jixi County, but people still have to use his people.

Of course, Wu Zixu also has a certain amount of confidence in doing this, if he doesn't have confidence and certainty, he won't take this matter alone.

In Yingqiu City, Wu Zixu has also analyzed it, and the success rate is very high, after all, the samurai legions have been dispatched.

For the Qi State, dispatching the warrior legion is equivalent to the cost of dispatching two legions.

Of course, this is also a special application by Wu Zixu, because in his thoughts, there will not be much war against Wei, but when he fights for food with Chu, it may be a large-scale local war, and with his vanguard legion, he can't stop the torrent charge of Chu, so he applied for a samurai legion.

Of course, he is not afraid that Jiang Ai will attack him, after all, the credit with him Jiang Ai can be divided, but with the credit of Qi Jie, I am afraid that Qi Jie accounts for the big head, he accounts for the small head, who makes the relationship between the family great.

Of course, there is another point, that is, Qi Jiu's soldiers and horses are strong, there is plenty of food and grass, and there are countless generals who can fight, if Qi Jiu participates in the war, he Wu Zixu may really have nothing to do.

Originally, Qi Xiaobai planned to let Qi Jiu go on the expedition, but it was also because of someone recommending him and Wu Zixu's self-recommendation that Wu Zixu was allowed to go on the expedition.
