Chapter 211: Boiling Dates
Two quarters of an hour later, Shengzi and Tian Xie met on the west bank of Pushui.
Shengzi looked at the fleeing Wei army not far away, and the sun who was about to set: "General Tian, now that the Wei army has collapsed, then we can't give them a chance to regroup, so General Ben decided to go after the main general of the Wei army in person." Ben will leave another 10,000 troops to the general, and you immediately go to besiege Chengyang City, and after breaking through the city, you will act according to the plan and advance westward along Jishui. β
"It's the general."
Then, Shengzi said to the herald: "Send the order to Doctor Gao Tang to pursue the Wei army immediately after crossing the river, and not let them regroup." β
"No."
"After the order was given to the rear army to cross the river, they immediately moved closer to the general."
"No."
After the herald left, the sword in Shengzi's hand pointed in the direction of Cheng Lingjun's departure: "Herald, pursue." β
At this time, Cheng Lingjun took the lead in fleeing to the west, followed by thousands of Wei troops scattered around him.
Not long after, a lieutenant came to report: "General, the Qi army is chasing us, is there a team left behind?" β
"No need, it's going to be dark soon, as long as it enters the night, the Qi army will stop pursuing."
Cheng Lingjun said and sped up his escape.
After the sun set, the captain came back to report: "General, the Qi army behind has prepared torches, and it seems that they plan to chase and kill them overnight." β
"What?" Cheng Lingjun was shocked: "Could it be that the Qi army must be killed completely." β
Cheng Lingjun shouted: "Speed up and withdraw." β
Although the Wei army on his side heard Cheng Lingjun's shouting, after a day of fighting, his current physical strength was already at the limit.
It was all dark.
Cheng Lingjun saw that a fire followed him behind, obviously the Qi army was still in hot pursuit, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to flee.
Qi Army.
"General, if it's getting dark today, I'll wait until the marching speed has slowed down at this time, do I still want to pursue?"
Shengzi laughed and said: "Tell the soldier to chase for another half an hour, and then stay in place to rest." β
"No."
Half an hour later.
Cheng Lingjun saw that the firelight behind him stopped, and scolded: "Damn, this group of bitches has finally stopped chasing." β
"Command, go another half hour, and then stop and rest."
When he got up early in the morning of the second day, Cheng Lingjun saw that there were only five or six hundred people left around him, including his own two hundred personal soldiers, and thousands of others, all of them... Scattered.
Cheng Lingjun's face turned pale: "Order, go to Juyang City." β
Only an hour ahead, an army of 2,000 people suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Lingjun, under the banner of the Wei army, and collided with the defeated soldiers led by Cheng Lingjun.
"Stop, where are you deserters? Running away without permission, aren't you afraid of military justice? Don't hurry up and wait for Ben to fall. β
Before Cheng Lingjun could speak, a big man with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes and blazing eyes walked out on the opposite side, and loudly scolded Cheng Lingjun and them.
Cheng Lingjun secretly praised that the other party was a man, and then looked at the strong man in the front of the other party, and the order was forbidden, and at first glance, he was a well-trained and strong.
Cheng Lingjun gave his own soldiers a look, but he was reserved and did not reply.
The soldier nodded and said: "Which county's army are you, now that my Great Wei Chenglingjun is here, why don't you come and see you soon." β
The big man smiled disdainfully: "Chenglingjun is the main general of my Wei army in the east, and now he is fighting against the Qi army in Pushui, if he is Chenglingjun, then Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Dahan paused and said loudly: "You are Chengling Jun, could it be that our Wei State was defeated by the Qi State?" β
The freshly opened wound on Cheng Lingjun's heart has not healed and has been sprinkled with a handful of salt, and he has not become angry yet.
There was an uproar on the other side.
"Defeated..."
"We're defeated..."
The sound of "defeated" came and went in the opposing team.
"Silence." The big man yelled.
But it turned out to be completely useless.
On the contrary, with that loud roar, another voice came from the ranks: "We are defeated, the Qi army has crossed the Pushui, run." β
Immediately after, as if agreed, there was a "whoosh", and the team of 2,000 people dispersed in a hurry, and ran back quickly, leaving only the 300 people in front of them unmoved.

The big man smiled awkwardly at Cheng Lingjun: "Cheng Lingjun, you need to return to boil dates immediately and say goodbye." β
Cheng Lingjun: "Β·Β·Β·"
Juyang City.
Cheng Lingjun had just eaten a full meal, picked up the water cup and was about to drink water.
The order of Juyang County hurriedly came to report: "General, it's not good, the Qi army has arrived ten miles outside the city." β
Cheng Lingjun drank the water and asked, "How many strong men are there in Juyang City?" β
"Back to the general, the strong men who were convened before have been sent to Pushui, and now there are less than two thousand men who have been recalled."
"Two thousand... Male..." Cheng Lingjun said: "Okay, you stick to it and wait for help first, and Ben will go to the king for help." β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
Half an hour after Cheng Lingjun left, Juyang City was broken by the Qi army.
The next day, Cheng Lingjun rushed to Pumi County.
Early in the morning of the third day, Cheng Lingjun didn't say anything and left the city directly.
Two hours after Cheng Lingjun left, Pumi City directly opened the door and surrendered in the face of 20,000 Qi troops.
In the evening, Chengling Jun passed through LΓΌdu without entering, and on the morning of the fourth day, LΓΌ Ducheng surrendered to the Qi army.
On the fifth day, Cheng Lingjun bypassed the boiled jujube city again.
Afternoon.
Shengzi came to the front of the boiled jujube city with less than 20,000 Qi troops.
Seeing the arrival of the Qi army, the order of Zhuozao County directly wore white clothes and asked people to tie themselves, and then left the city alone to surrender.
Seeing that the Qi army stopped in front, the order of Zhuo Zao County immediately spoke: "I am Shu Bi, the commander of Zhuo Zao County, and when I learned that the king of Qi had arrived, I didn't dare to resist, so I went out of the city and surrendered, please don't disturb the people." β
Shengzi saw that the gate of the boiled jujube city was opened, and the boiled jujube county order was surrendered, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after the boiled jujube county is the target of this trip Jiyang, and the west of Jiyang City is the girder of the capital of Wei State, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided.
Shengzi asked people to bring the boiled jujube county order over and asked, "Do you know where the Chengling Jun of your Wei State is?" β
Shu Bi shook his head and replied: "Back to the general's words, I have never seen Cheng Lingjun in Xia, but I heard about it at noon, it seems that a group of thieves of more than 300 people bypassed the boiled date city and went west." β
"Noon! More than 300 thieves? Shengzi nodded and said: "When I was in Ludu County, there were more than 400 people in Chenglingjun, and it seems that Chenglingjun's soldiers have fled again." β
As he spoke, Shengzi asked people to untie the rope on Shu Bi's body, and said: "Our army of Qi is a division of benevolence and righteousness, since the county order takes the initiative to surrender, my Qi country will definitely treat each other with courtesy, from now on, you will still cook the county order." β
Hearing this, Shu Bi thanked him and said, "Thank you general." β
said gratefully: "The general's great kindness cannot be repaid, and I am willing to serve the general." β
After a pause, Shu Bi suggested: "General, if it's too late today, why don't you let you do the east in Xia and wash the dust for the general in the city of boiling dates." β
Shengzi shook his head and refused: "The army is outside, and it has its own military regulations." And as the main general, how can he be greedy for enjoyment. β
Shu Bi blamed himself: "What the general said is very true, this is my fault." General, now that he has prepared food in the city, please enter the city with a large army, so that Zao County can do a little bit of good. β
Shengzi said with a smile: "My Qi army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, how can a large army enter the city to disturb the people." β
As he spoke, Shengzi ordered: "Order, the army is ready to camp." β
Then Shengzi said to Shubi: "I was going to use 3,000 people to help the county order guard against thieves, I don't know what the county order thinks?" β
Shubi said gratefully: "In this way, I am relieved, thank you general!" β
At that moment, Shengzi arranged for the guarding of the boiled jujube city.
Soon, the 3,000 Qi army began to enter the city of boiled dates.
When the Qi army entered more than half of the city, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing in the city.
Then, just when the Qi army thought it was being attacked and was preparing for a sneak attack, there was a loud "boom" at the city gate, and a boulder fell, instantly sealing the city gate.
