Dong'a City.

The remnants of the Qi-Wei coalition led by Wei Wuji and Kuang Liang were stationed here, while the Zhao army led by Lian Po surrounded the area.

It has been a full twenty days since the city of Dong'a was besieged.

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji sat in the study of the city guard mansion in Dong'e City, his face looked quite haggard, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

A sound of footsteps came from outside the room, and then Zhong Cheng's voice came in: "Zhong Cheng asks to see Xinlingjun!" ”

"Come in."

The door opened, and Zhong Cheng appeared in front of Wei Wuji.

Compared with before, Zhong Cheng's whole person looks darker and thinner.

But the gaze in the eyes of the young Wei general also became sharper, looking like a long-sharpened sword, murderous, and standing there gave people a stinging feeling.

Wei Wuji stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat in front of him: "Sit down." ”

The murderous aura on Zhong Cheng's body quickly subsided.

It's also interesting to say that this young Wei Guomeng looks like he doesn't pretend to face anyone else, but he is extremely respectful in front of Wei Wuji.

A respect from the heart.

Zhong Cheng sat down and said to Wei Wuji with some concern: "Xinlingjun, something is wrong with the situation!" ”

Wei Wuji glanced at Zhong Cheng and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhong Chengdao: "The Zhao army has not attacked the city for three whole days!" ”

Wei Wuji's cheeks moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a very shallow smile: "Isn't this a good thing?" ”

Zhong Cheng shook his head and said, "This is definitely not a good thing. I have a hunch that the people of Zhao must be planning some conspiracy! ”

Wei Wuji thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "The conspiracy may not be, maybe—it is the king's side that has achieved results." ”

"Peace?" Zhong Cheng's eyes widened.

"Negotiate peace." Wei Wuji nodded and said, "Now that we have been defeated, then there should be only this way to negotiate peace in front of the king. ”

Zhong Cheng's expression couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard this, and after a while, he said hatefully: "If it weren't for these damn Qi people, we wouldn't be where we are today!" ”

Zhong Cheng's dissatisfaction with the people of Qi is justified.

In the decisive battle that day, Wei Wuji was actually prepared, and sent soldiers and horses to guard the flanks.

If it is according to Wei Wuji's arrangement, then even if it is temporarily frustrated on the battlefield, the Qi and Wei coalition forces should be able to withdraw to Gaotang City and continue to hold on, waiting for a turnaround.

However, the rout of the Qi army greatly affected the Wei army, causing the Wei army's originally orderly retreat to be swept away by the remnants of the Qi army.

As a result, in just a short period of time, the entire battle situation became a chaotic retreat between the Wei and Qi people, and finally it was out of control.

Finally retreated to Gaotang City, Zhong Cheng had just been ordered to collect a wave of remnants of the defeated army and was about to regroup, but the Zhao army followed up like maggots on tarsal bones at this time.

So Zhong Cheng was ordered to lead thousands of soldiers under his command who had just gathered to defend the eastern city wall, where the Zhao army was attacking the most.

The Zhao people were obviously prepared, which can be seen from the fact that they carried the siege equipment such as the ladder rush in the first wave of the charge, and the heavy siege equipment such as the catapult appeared in the third wave of the offensive.

At the most urgent moment, at least a hundred soldiers of the Zhao State had already rushed to the eastern wall of Gaotang City, where Zhong Cheng was located, and were about to gain a firm foothold.

It was at this time that Zhong Cheng took the lead in a bloody battle, risking countless boulders to rage wildly on the city, and led the surrounding Wei soldiers to kill all the Zhao soldiers who attacked the city, which repelled the Zhao army's fierce attack that almost broke through the city.

Then Zhong Cheng didn't even have time to take a breath when he received a new news - the northern city wall of Gaotang, which was guarded by the Qi people, was occupied by the Zhao army, and a large number of Zhao troops were entering the Gaotang through the north gate.

So Zhong Cheng had to continue to lead the troops under his command to continue to escort Wei Wuji to abandon the city and flee until he fled to Dong'e.

In Zhong Cheng's heart, if it weren't for the behavior of Qi Guoren's pig teammates twice in a row, then the victory or defeat of the battle of Gaotang should still be in the number of five or five.

What made Zhong Cheng even more uncomfortable was that because the soldiers of the Wei army had always fought bravely and never retreated, they also died more when they died.

The Qi people ran faster, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and ran, so when everyone fled to Dong'e City in embarrassment, they counted the number of people and found that the Qi army still accounted for most of the part......

Zhong Cheng simply hated the people of Qi to death.

For Zhong Cheng's full of resentment, Wei Wuji could only shake his head.

Wei Wuji didn't intend to dwell on this place, but asked, "Is there any news from General Kuang Liang's side?" ”

It is precisely because there are more Qi troops in Dong'e City now, and Dong'e was originally part of Qi State, so it is not Wei Wuji who occupies the command and dominance in Dong'e City now, but Kuang Liang, the main general of Qi State.

Zhong Cheng snorted and said: "That Kuang Liang is just a cowardly man, now that the Zhao army is not attacking the city, presumably this person must not know where to celebrate, how can he pay attention to the military situation?" ”

Wei Wuji shook his head and said, "Zhong Cheng, I can understand the dissatisfaction in your heart, but I want you to know that now that we and General Kuang Liang are allies, we should support each other in such a difficult time, and we should not arrange it for him like this." ”

Zhong Cheng was very convinced of Wei Wuji, so after listening to Wei Wuji's words, although he still had resentment in his heart, he still kept his mouth shut.

At this moment, a dense sound of footsteps faintly came from outside.

Wei Wuji and Zhong Chengdu heard this footsteps, Wei Wuji frowned slightly, and said to Zhong Cheng: "This is the soldier you transferred?" ”

Zhong Cheng's face changed slightly, stood up and said, "Xinlingjun and sit down, I'll go out and have a look." ”

The sound of dense footsteps became more obvious, mixed with the sound of the courtyard door opening, and it sounded like a lot of people had entered the courtyard.

Zhong Cheng took a deep breath, pulled out the long sword in his hand, opened the door and walked out.

"Wait......" Wei Wuji wanted to call Zhong Cheng, but it was already too late, and Zhong Cheng's figure had already disappeared from his eyes.

An ominous premonition slowly appeared in Wei Wuji's heart.

What's going on?

Wei Wuji sat there quietly, waiting for Zhong Cheng's shout or reply.

But the strange thing is that after a long while, Zhong Cheng did not send any information back.

Wei Wuji took a deep breath and stood up.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded again.

As soon as Wei Wuji heard it, he knew that it was someone walking towards this room.

Wei Wuji's brow began to furrow.

This is not Zhong Cheng's footsteps.

When the footsteps came to the door, there was a sudden and deliberate pause.

Wei Wuji's brows raised slightly, and he said, "The person who came is a guest, since you are here, why don't you enter the house for a while?" ”

As soon as Wei Wuji's words fell, a figure stepped into the room.

And with that came the man's voice.

"Xinlingjun, long time no see."

After seeing the visitor, Wei Wuji's body shook and his eyes widened in surprise.

It was none other than Wei Wangyu's number one cronie, and now Wei Wuji's number one political enemy in the Wei political arena-

Duan Ganzi.
