Chapter 117: Joining Forces to Resist Qin
Not long after, Xiang Liang and others came to the city wall, and when they saw more than 10,000 "friendly troops" of Liu Jibu fleeing from the city, they couldn't help but sigh at each other.
Originally...... The people who came down from the city were really Liu Ji from Pei County.
Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew, his nose was crooked.
"General Xiang, I'm Liu Ji, I still hope to open the city gate and let me wait to enter the city."
Liu Ji shouted under the city, and the whole person looked very bald.
Xiang Liang immediately replied to the city: "Liu Ji, I heard that the Qin army only has 30,000 iron cavalry, why can't your troops hold on for even a day, so they are defeated?" ”
Liu Jidao: "The Qin army of 30,000 troops came to attack, our department only had 10,000 horses, and the people's hearts were scattered, even if our troops held the city, they would be defeated sooner or later, so they simply abandoned the city to join General Xiang, so that the two armies are one, and there is still a chance of victory." ”
"What? You've just abandoned the city! ”
The people on the city wall were directly stupid.
It was the first time they had heard of it, and before the battle had been fought, they had abandoned the city and fled.
Liu Ji nodded: "Yes, if you don't abandon the city, you won't be able to leave if you want to in the future, is it difficult to stay there and wait for death?" ”
"............" Xiang Liang and others, with black lines on their faces.
Liu Ji didn't count this forced to abandon the city and flee, but he still had a heartbeat, if this forced was his own subordinate, Xiang Liang would definitely directly behead this man now.
However, if you think about it carefully, what Liu Ji said is very reasonable.
If he doesn't abandon the city, Pei County will not be able to defend it, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. Therefore, they are now abandoning the city and going to their own place, although it is a little wrong, but it is indeed the smartest thing to do.
After all, the two armies are united, and there are more troops than the Qin army, and they are still fortified and fortified, but the Qin army's 30,000 iron cavalry is helpless.
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang couldn't refute Liu Ji's shameless reason.
So he turned to the people around him and asked, "Look, should you let them into the city?" ”
Xiang Bodao: "Since they are friendly troops, they should be let into the city, after all, our troops are also limited, and now that they are here, there will be 30,000 troops together, and there will be no worries about defending the city." ”
Long Ji and Xiang Yu also nodded in agreement.
However, Long did not forget to remind: "Liu Ji's department has more than 10,000 people, which is comparable to our people, let him enter the city today, and General Xiang must guard against him in the future." ”
Xiang Liang nodded and said, "What General Long said is true, but now that the Qin army is coming, there is no need to worry about him being opposed." ”
Xiang Bo also agreed: "Yes, now is the time to strengthen our power, Liu Jibu is here to vote, at least the benefits for me outweigh the disadvantages for now." ”
Everyone nodded.
Xiang Liang saw that everyone had no objections, so he ordered his subordinates: "Open the city gate and let them enter the city!" ”
Soon, the gates of Xiaxiang County were opened.
Xiang Liang said: "General Liu has the intention of joining forces to resist Qin, and I, Xiang Liang, are naturally welcome, please General Liu enter the city!" ”
However......
Liu Ji glanced at the open city gate, but did not enter the city immediately, but said with a smile: "General Xiang, I defected to General Xiang on the day of Liu Ji, just to join forces to resist Qin, and after the Qin army repelled, I will lead the troops back to my Pei County, what do you think?" ”
The smile on Xiang Liang's face froze, and he was unhappy.
Long on the side said: "The general can promise him first, and when the Qin army is repulsed, he can find a way to incorporate Liu Jibu, and it is up to him whether he can take people away at that time." ”
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Xiang Liang also smiled and nodded, so he shouted to the city: "General Liu, rest assured, everything is focused on the anti-Qin plan, as long as we work together to resist Qin, you and I are friendly troops." ”
"Thank you, General Xiang!" When Liu Ji heard this, he seemed to be relieved a lot, so he waved his hand and led his subordinates into the city.
…………
"General Liu, what's the situation in Peixian?"
When Liu Ji and the others entered the city, Xiang Liang asked directly.
Liu Ji also replied truthfully: "Today, our department found out that Li Yang, the prime minister of Great Qin, personally led 30,000 iron horsemen and went straight to my Pei County. This man is so cunning, with 500 forest troops, shouting and scolding under our city, trying to lure me out of the city, but fortunately my subordinates found that there were frightened birds flying in the woods outside the city, and guessed that 30,000 iron horsemen were ambushed outside the city, so they did not go out of the city. Otherwise, it is estimated that more than 10,000 of my people will have to be thrown under the city. ”
"Oh? Although this person is a civil servant, he knows the length of cavalry when he uses soldiers. Xiang Liang sighed.
Liu Ji nodded and said, "Originally, I also wanted to hold on to the city, but ...... General Xiang doesn't know, my people are disheartened, for the past half a month, hundreds of people have fled out of the city every day, and now the Qin army is coming to the city, and people are panicking, I Liu Ji only has more than 10,000 people left, worried that if he stays on, everyone will escape, and he can't hold on at all, so he simply abandoned the city and went straight to General Xiang. ”
Xiang Liang felt the same way about this, and there was no doubt about the reason why Liu Ji abandoned the city and fled.
"Report!"
At this time, the spies sent to Pei County also returned, and reported: "Report to General Xiang, Li Yang's 500 soldiers, scare off Liu Ji's ...... in Pei County."
Speaking of which, this spy also found that Liu Ji was actually in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiang Liang said: "If there is no other military information, then retreat!" ”
The spy paused for a moment, and then said: "General Xiang, according to the investigation, Li Yang's personal command of 30,000 iron cavalry this time is not the truth, but a trick to play tricks. ”
At this moment, everyone frowned and exclaimed, "What did you say?" ”
The spy said: "According to the investigation, Li Yang does not have 30,000 iron cavalry, in fact, there are only 500 forest troops. ”
"Only five...... Five hundred feathered forest army? ”
Everyone opened their mouths wide in shock, wondering if their ears had heard it wrong.
Xiang Yu didn't believe it at the moment, and reprimanded: "How can the military situation be a child's play? ”
Liu Ji also sneered at the moment: "This joke is really big enough, a dignified prime minister, he came out of Xianyang, will he only bring five hundred soldiers?" ”
The spy said: "I didn't believe it at first, but after repeated investigations, I found that Li Yang did only bring 500 Yulin troops, and the so-called 30,000 iron cavalry did not exist at all. ”
"This ...... How can it be! ”
Everyone still can't believe that Li Yang went out to quell the chaos and brought 500 people, which is too ridiculous.
Xiang Bo said: "Li Yang only brought 500 people here, this is absolutely impossible, maybe he hid 30,000 iron horsemen somewhere?" ”
Liu Ji immediately said: "It should be hidden, today Li Yang hid 30,000 iron horsemen in the woods outside Peixian County, and only brought 500 people to my city to call for battle, and your people did not find the 30,000 army, which is normal." ”
Everyone nodded, very much in agreement with Liu Ji's words.
But......
The spy said: "General Liu is wrong, after my investigation, it is not 30,000 iron cavalry hidden in the woods outside Peixian County today, but 3,000 local defenders of Dongyang County!" ”
"What?"
At this moment, even Liu Ji was taken aback, and his eyes were about to fall out.
The spy said: "Li Yang has a suspicious plan for you, he transferred 3,000 defenders of Dongyang County to run in the woods outside Peixian County, so that the frightened birds flew up, so that General Liu You think that he has 30,000 iron cavalry ambushed outside the city, and General Liu, you ...... But he fell for his plan and fled directly from the city. ”
Liu Ji was stunned, but he couldn't believe it, shook his head and said, "This ...... It can't be, you must be mistaken! ”
The spy said with an affirmative face: "The military situation is a big thing, how dare you say it in a small way, I saw the Dongyang County Guardian Wang Youxian come out of the woods with three thousand local defenders, and there will be no mistake in this matter." ”
Ga!
Liu Ji was directly stupid, and his jaw dropped directly.
Everyone also looked at Liu Ji stupidly......
So...... This guy was so frightened by 500 people that he abandoned the city and fled?
Suddenly, everyone looked at Liu Ji as if they were looking stupid.
Liu Ji: "............"
