But speaking of this, Xu Jie felt a little ashamed in his heart.

After all, when Ji Ming went to Qidu, it was through their hands.

No one could have imagined that the unappreciated Eighth Prince would be able to do this.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Jie still decided to tell the truth, and he said to Ji Ming: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the surprise attack of the Xuanjia Army on the Qi Realm is not an order from Your Majesty, but a helpless move by the last general and others."

"Now the state of Chu has sent a large army to storm the southern border of Great Qin, and has reached an alliance with the state of Qi, wanting to attack on both sides. The general gave the order only in order to preemptively, and if His Highness wanted to blame, he would punish the general. ”

In Xu Jie's view, Ji Mingnai is his savior and the prince of Qin. Now that Juyang has to be defended, he will know about it sooner or later, so it is better to explain it directly, so as not to give rise to suspicion.

"General, is it Dongfang Lin?"

Ji Ming was stunned for a moment and asked.

Although Ji Ming's tone was calm, Xu Jie felt a little pressure, and hurriedly explained: "The general is also helpless, if we don't strike first, I'm afraid we have been trapped by the Qi army now."

To put it bluntly, Dongfang Lin has regarded Ji Ming as an outcast, and wants to seek an opportunity in the war between the two countries. This explanation is a little weak here, but Xu Jie still wants to save it.

However, Ji Ming did not hold a grudge against Dongfang Lin as Xu Jie thought. In any case, there is a reason for this, and people are not deliberately harmful, so there is no need to make an undying revenge.

The most important thing is, of course, that Ji Ming's predecessor is already cool, and what is in front of Xu Jie at the moment is just a modified version. Even if the soul of the Lord has some influence on this, it will not completely control him.

Ji Ming waved his hand lightly, spit out a breath of turbidity, and said: "The matter has come to this point, General Xu doesn't need to mention it again, now is the time of great Qi crisis, and Gu is not a person who does not know the importance of the big and the small."

Hearing Ji Ming's words, Xu Jie was slightly relieved, he was really worried that the two would have a gap because of this.

Now that the war is imminent, if there is still a dispute within the Qin army, wouldn't it give the Qi army a chance?

If it's just Ji Ming, it's easy to say, but Lu Bu and Luo Cheng who followed him are too fierce. Xu Jie remembered the ferocity of the two on the battlefield, and couldn't help but show emotion.

After a little muttering, Xu Jie arched his hand and said, "After repelling the enemy army, the last general has already sent someone to inform the general." It doesn't take two days to get the message back. ”

"The Qi army actually divided the elite to attack Juyang, and I don't know what the situation is in Anling City at this moment. It is not easy for the general to face the main force of the Qin army alone, and if Juyang City is broken, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone. Xu Jie sighed.

Hearing this, Ji Ming nodded lightly and said, "Now that the enemy army has been repelled, they will definitely not dare to come again in a short time." As long as Juyang is on guard, he will not be trapped. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jie looked at Ji Ming hesitantly, and said: "This Qi army is extremely elite, and the main general is even more fierce, but the last general has never heard of this person before, I don't know if His Highness has any news?"

In this regard, Ji Ming was stunned and replied loudly: "This army is lonely, but I don't know its origin. But the enemy general is a well-known prodigal nobleman in Qidu, and Jiang Yu, the brother of the current Emperor Qi. ”

Although Ji Ming already knew Jiang Yu's details, he couldn't show it now. can only put on a look of surprise, showing Jiang Yu's identity and identity, but also hiding his abnormality.

"What, this person turned out to be the Marquis of Qi Guo's Anle? I didn't expect him to hide so deeply. Xu Jie couldn't help but gasp, his expression was inexplicably strange, he really didn't expect this.

But Ji Ming's subsequent words surprised him even more.

I saw Ji Ming's tone slower slightly, and he said indifferently: "Now that the urgency of Juyang has been solved, I want to go to Anling and meet General Dongfang." If possible, Lone can help. ”

If it had been earlier, Xu Jie would have felt that Ji Ming was talking nonsense. But now that he knew that Lu Bu and the others were strong, and seeing their pampered and unfazed appearance, his heart was already a little shaken.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jie said:

"Since Your Highness wants to go to Anling, it is better to wait for the messenger to arrive and return together."

Ji Ming nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine, but when Gu Chu arrived, he didn't know the details of the Qi army. General Xu here, can he have his own map, so that he can watch alone? ”

Xu Jie was a little puzzled by Ji Ming's request, but he did not refuse, but agreed:

"Since His Highness wants to see it, he will let people take it at the end."

If it was in peacetime, even if Ji Ming was the eighth prince of the Qin State, it would be impossible to easily probe the military situation. Xu Jie agreed, not just because of this so-called life-saving grace, but because of the strength in his hands.

Now that Qin and Qi are at war, Dongfang is facing Li Ling, the god of war of Qi, in an embarrassing situation. If you can get Ji Ming's help, although you may not be 100% sure, you can reduce a lot of pressure.

After a while, Xu Jie asked people to bring a map of the border between the two countries and put it in front of the two people. The map is the map, which is one of the essential elements of the battle between the two armies, knowing oneself and knowing the other.

Ji Ming looked up and down the map, looking at Anling City, which was on the same line as Juyang, with a thoughtful look.

Dongfang Lin raided the Qi Realm, and the dozen or so cities he won were all gathered in one area. And Anling is the core of it, and Juyang, including Shanyang, is located in two wings.

These three cities constituted the main line of defense of the Qin army. As long as this place is held, it will be difficult for the Qi army to force into the Qin State. Even if Li Ling sent troops to raid, he would be held back and fall into an extremely embarrassing situation.

However, this is also a helpless move, because facing Li Ling here, Dongfang Lin is at a disadvantage. He originally wanted to destroy the main force of the Qi army, even if he was infamous, he could completely eliminate the offensive of the Qi army.

But Dongfang Lin fell into Li Ling's calculations, and it was not easy to build this line of defense in the end.

Xu Jie sighed and said, "Now the main force of the Qi army, that is, the soldiers and horses led by Li Ling, is stationed in Juyang City. Here is the coercion of Anling, where the two sides confronted each other. ”

"It seems that Gu Zhen is just right, otherwise the Qi army will raid Juyang, and General Dongfang may not be able to send many soldiers and horses to support." Ji Ming smiled and said casually.

What Ji Ming said was the truth, Xu Jie naturally didn't think about it, and said a little helplessly: "This is natural, if it weren't for His Highness's help, Juyang would have been lost a long time ago, and the last general would have been safe."

"It's a pity that these 3,000 people were easily killed by the enemy." The combat effectiveness of the Dark Dragon Guard really surprised Ji Ming, in a short battle, the casualties were so large.

This Xu Jie couldn't pick it up, so he chose to remain silent.

Ji Ming didn't care, shook his head and said, "Let's stop here today, Lone is also a little tired, so he will take the first step." When the messenger arrived, General Xu sent someone to inform him. ”

"The last will obey."
