The city of Juyan City was quite quiet, and there was no chaos as imagined because of the arrival of the Jin army.

Li Xun said to Niu Jin: "Have you obeyed my orders?" ”

Niu Jin hurriedly said: "After the last general led the army into the city, he just let all the people stay in their own homes and not go out at will, and strictly ordered the soldiers not to disturb the people. ”

Before Li Xun set out on the expedition, he strictly ordered the three armies several times, after entering the Western Regions, not to slaughter the city, not to disturb the people, and to behead those who violated the order, this is a death order, how dare Niu Jin disobey.

Li Xun nodded, and said, "There is such a fire in the city, but you have burned all the grain, grass and other materials?" ”

Niu Jin laughed and said: "How could I do such a stupid thing, there was already a beacon tower in the city, I just lit it." ”

When Li Xun heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Niu Jin, you are really capable, after the war is over, I should reward you heavily." ”

Niu Jin hurriedly said modestly: "This is all the credit of everyone, and the last general will not dare to be greedy." ”

Li Xun smiled and said lightly: "I, Li Xun, have always had clear rewards and punishments, it is your credit that is yours, and you can't push it off if you want to." ”

Niu Jin nodded, no more words, if you are modest, that is hypocrisy, you are desperate on the battlefield, isn't it just for glory and wealth? If it's not for this, who wants to fight hard with their heads?

Li Xun stopped his horse, waited for Shan Qiu to come over, and asked in a loud voice: "I just saw that you sent some cavalry out of the city, what did you do?" ”

Shan Qiu said: "Send a team of 100 scouts to the central region of the Western Regions to investigate the situation, and there should be the latest news in the next two days." ”

Li Xun smiled: "It's still thoughtful, in this way, we will take a break here for a while, and when the latest news comes back, we are making plans." ”

Zhan Bai's eyes were blank, the whole person was demented, in front of him, a soldier knelt down, this soldier just brought a bad news, Zhan Heng did not listen to the order, did not listen to the dissuasion of the left and right generals, insisted on going his own way, led all the soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army in the field, and was finally exploited by the Jin army, the Jin army sneak attack on the giant rock city succeeded, the army saw the beacon fire and smoke in the direction of the giant rock city, the army was scattered, lost the will, and finally caused a rout, more than 90,000 soldiers were wiped out, Zhan Heng committed suicide.

"Dashuai, Giant Rock City can't be lost, we should concentrate all our forces and fight to the death with the Jin army to recapture Giant Rock City."

"The Jin army is strong, and it is difficult to advance for a while, so we should take Qicheng first and obtain the grain and grass materials in the city to solve the urgent need."

"General Cheng is right, you should fight Qicheng first, then hold on here, make some adjustments, and then Yu Jin army will be longer."

"Dashuai, the situation is critical, you should make a decision quickly."

"Dashuai, you have to make a decision!"

More than a dozen generals surrounded Zhan Bai, and every word you said to me looked panicked, expecting Zhan Bai to make a wise decision, but at this time, Zhan Bai's heart was in chaos, and his mind was in chaos, where did he make a decision? And his resourceful Du Zhongbo, who has something to do at this time, is no longer here, without him by his side, Zhan Bai has no idea.

Zhan Bai was so noisy by these people that his head was split, he closed his eyes, his whole body trembled, and in the end, this tremor became violent, Zhan Bai stood up violently, his eyes scouted, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Boulder City, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his face was so red that he couldn't say anything, and finally with a whoop, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the whole person fell straight and fell unconscious.

Du Zhongbo was consoling the soldiers in the army outside the city at the moment, stabilizing the morale of the army, and making the final preparations before attacking Qicheng, but soon, Zhan Heng was defeated, 90,000 soldiers were annihilated, and Juyan City fell.

Du Zhongbo immediately ordered that this news be blocked, and this news must not be allowed to reach the army, which is likely to cause the entire army to be disheartened, and maybe it will immediately collapse.

Subsequently, Du Zhongbo hurried back to Lin Cheng, thirty miles away from Qicheng, which was the temporary headquarters of the three armies of Zhan Bai.

Zhan Bai woke up from a coma, his eyes were foggy, what had just happened seemed to be like a dream, and he was now disillusioned, and his heart was full of despair.

Zhan Bai looked sideways, and saw Du Zhongbo sitting there with his head down, and suddenly there was some figure in his eyes, he had fallen into adversity many times, but he was able to break out of the encirclement and turn passive into active, and the biggest credit was Du Zhongbo, without him to give advice, he would never have been able to get to this point today.

Now that he is in a desperate situation, if someone can think of a way, Zhan Bai believes that this person must be Du Zhongbo, and he has this ability.

Zhan Bai got up and grabbed both sides of Du Zhongbo tightly, and cried and said: "Zhan Heng, this idiot, buried 90,000 troops in vain and put me in a desperate situation, Mr. must save me." ”

Du Zhongbo looked up to the sky and sighed, he persuaded Zhan Bai several times, Zhan Heng is brave and unscrupulous, impulsive and willful, and cannot be worthy of the big responsibility, Zhan Bai just didn't listen, or handed over the power of the army to Zhan Heng, sure enough, Zhan Heng made his own opinions, acted arbitrarily, and did not measure his own strengths, he was so idiotic that he gave up his strengths, faced the enemy with his own shortcomings, and put himself in an extremely dangerous and unfavorable situation, and buried 90,000 soldiers and the extremely important city of Giant Rock City in vain.

Seeing that Du Zhongbo didn't speak for a long time, Zhan Bai said a little sadly: "Why didn't Mr. speak?" Do you want to abandon me? ”

Du Zhongbo shook his head and sighed: "It's not a pity for Zhan Heng to die, but the 90,000 soldiers were all wiped out, and the Giant Rock City was also lost, and we were besieged on both sides and were already in a desperate situation. ”

Zhan Bai gritted his teeth and said: "It's really cheap for him Zhan Heng to die in such a battle, I can't wait to break it into ten thousand pieces now, and divide the body of five horses." ”

"Now is not the time to say that."

Du Zhongbo pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "There is Qicheng in front of it, there is a huge threat from the Jin army in the back, and we don't have much food and grass, I have sealed the news from Zhan Heng's side tightly, but it can't last, the news will eventually spread one day, once the news spreads, the soldiers of the whole army will definitely be disheartened, and when the time comes, all the people will collapse, and you and I will die without a place to bury." ”

Zhan Bai gritted his teeth and said, "What is your opinion, sir?" ”

Du Zhongbo pondered for a moment, and finally said with a grim face: "For today's plan, we must either break through Qicheng and use the central part of the Western Regions to confront the Jin army before the news spreads, or concentrate all our forces, and launch a surprise attack while the Jin army is unprepared. ”

Zhan Bai's whole person fell into contemplation, in the end, the biggest threat is still the Jin army, although Hammer Er Qi occupies Qi City, temporarily poses a great threat to himself, but this threat is linked to the Jin army, Hammer Er Qi does not have many soldiers in his hands, less than 10,000 people, the real threat to himself is still the Jin army, as long as the Jin army is eliminated, all passive situations will be solved.
