The ministers had no idea, the whole court was in a mess, and King Song had to let everyone disperse, thinking, let's take one step at a time, hoping that the defense of the country can win this battle.

Ji Xian's army has defeated nearly ten cities in defense through more than ten days of siege battles.

King Wei has already transferred all his forces to the capital Emperor Hill and is ready to defend with all his might.

Shi Hou said to King Wei: "Xiang Yu also sent 120,000 people over, or a few female leaders, if we win, other countries will not be so afraid of Xiang Yu, there must be someone who comes to help." ”

King Wei said, "Okay, we will wait for them in Diqiu, fight to the death, and we must defeat them." ”

Ji Yan gathered everyone together and said, "Sister Ji Xian, I want to keep the capital of the Patriotic Kingdom and not fight, let's take down the other cities of the Patriotic Kingdom first." There are at least 250,000 troops in the capital of the country, and if we attack strongly, the casualties will be large, and it may not be able to attack, and Ji Xian's phoenix cavalry battalion is used to attack the city, which is not cost-effective. ”

Ji Xian said: "Sister Ji Yan, I don't care, as long as I can kill Zhou Hu and Shi Hou, it's better to make them afraid for a while." ”

Ji Yan said: "Okay, then every time we build a city, we will follow my eldest brother's policy, in the name of your father and you, to pacify the people." Let the hearts of the people of the country return to you, which can further isolate the current Wei Wang, and also lay the foundation for you to be the queen in the future. ”

Ji Xian said: "Okay, Sister Ji Yan, you can fight as much as you want, I don't understand these." ”

Ji Yan said to Ji Ling again: "Princess, let's build two more cities, and we will go to Diqiu." After arriving at Diqiu, your phoenix cavalry camp was stationed 20 miles outside the city. When they found that the patriotic soldiers were out of the city, they went to attack and carry out large-scale killing, and they did not chase them when they fled back. ”

Ji Ling said, "Okay. ”

Ji Yan then said to Guan Biao: "General Guan, you take 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry to attack the cities of the country, send people to defend one another, and appease the people." ”

Guan Biao said: "Okay, listen to General Ji's arrangement." ”

Ji Yan then said to Chen Sheng: "Chen Sheng will follow me with 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to assist the princess, I am afraid that the whole army will attack suddenly, and the princess will be very passive if she only has 20,000 people." ”

Chen Sheng said: "Okay. ”

A few days later, Ji Yan's army reached Diqiu, the capital of the country, and then Guan Biao led 50,000 horses to attack other cities. The three women stayed behind with 70,000 men and set up camp 20 miles outside the city of Diqiu.

King Wei summoned the ministers and asked what to do now, but everyone was silent.

Shi Hou said: "Great King, now the army of the Zhou Dynasty is divided into two routes, 50,000 people have gone to attack other cities, and only 70,000 are left outside the emperor's hill. We might as well attack now, if the other 50,000 of them finish the city, and all 120,000 come to Diqiu, it will be difficult to deal with. ”

King Wei said: "Okay, this time I will personally lead 200,000 troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty army. ”

Two days later, King Wei went out of the city with an army of 200,000, and after Ji Ling received a report from the spies, he also set off with the Fengcai battalion, and Chen Sheng also followed with 30,000 cavalry.

The two armies met more than ten miles outside the city, and King Wei saw that the other party only had 50,000 people, and he also took the initiative to attack, thinking that Xiang Yu was too confident and didn't take himself seriously at all.

After the two armies held each other, Ji Ling directly led the Fengcai battalion to attack from the front, and Chen Sheng took 30,000 people to follow behind the Fengcai battalion to defend, so as to keep the back of the Fengcai battalion from being surrounded, so that Ji Ling could take the Fengcai battalion to rush and kill with all his might.

In this way, the soldiers behind the defense of the country will not be able to kill for a while, and only tens of thousands of people in front of them can participate in the killing of the enemy. But Ji Ling's phoenix cavalry battalion was too well equipped with weapons, and the soldiers' personal abilities were too strong, and as soon as the soldiers of the patriotic country came into contact with Ji Ling's soldiers, they fell.

When King Wei saw his soldiers fall one by one, he was a little frightened. Last time, he was tricked by Xiang Yu, and he defeated himself at night, and he didn't feel how powerful Xiang Yu was. Xiang Yu didn't come this time, a woman with tens of thousands of people, killed her own soldiers and had no power to fight back.

Ji Ling killed more than 10,000 guards in more than half an hour, and Shi Hou was also scared when he watched from the side. Then he said to King Wei: "King, let's retreat, their soldiers are too well equipped with weapons, and their combat effectiveness is too much higher than our soldiers, if we continue to fight like this, we will definitely be defeated, and they still ambushed 20,000 people without attacking." ”

King Wei also knew that if he continued to fight like this, his soldiers would die more and more, so he ordered to withdraw to the city and defend it to the death. When the number of soldiers returned to the city, almost 20,000 soldiers were killed or wounded.

King Wei said to Shi Hou: "What kind of team are they, why is their combat effectiveness so powerful?" ”

"The weapons and equipment of their soldiers seem to be specially built, and the soldiers seem to have undergone special training, and their combat effectiveness is too strong, and we have no way to fight at all." Shi Hou also felt that Xiang Yu's army was too powerful.

King Wei sighed: "Yes, no wonder the 600,000 allied troops of Chu and Jin, and Xiang Yu's troops only fought a small-scale battle, and they admitted defeat and lost their horses, it seems that we have only one way to defend it." ”

"We have to strengthen the defense of the capital, as long as the capital is not broken by Xiang Yu's army, after a long time, there may be variables." Stone thickness suggests.

King Wei said: "It's all a death anyway, it's better to stick to the end, maybe there is still some hope." ”

Weiguo is now less than 30 cities, and it is estimated that it will not take a month to be defeated by Guan Biao and all of them, and then it will form an encirclement of Diqiu.

In Luoyi City, many people began to discuss, first the people sent by King Wei said that the Zhou Dynasty did not pay attention to credibility and attacked its own vassals. Then people from other countries also began to help with propaganda, although these countries did not help the country, but they did not want to see the country destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty, so they desperately built momentum.

Within a few days, the whole city was spread, and the king of Zhou sent someone to call Yan Shu and Hualong to discuss. After Yan Shu and Hua Long arrived, King Zhou said: "Now there are rumors in the city, how do you think the two Aiqing should deal with it." ”

Yan Shu said: "We should not arrest these people who spread information, or expel them from the Zhou Dynasty. But doing so will undermine the confidence of outsiders to settle and invest in Luoyi. ”

Hua Long thought for a while and said: "Let's ignore them, these people who talk every day are all sent by other countries, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty will definitely not be affected." Those who really come to do business are very shrewd, as long as our Zhou Dynasty can bring protection to their lives and property, they will not withdraw, but the stronger we are, the more money they feel will be made. ”

Yan Shu still thought that something should be done, so he said: "Then I still let people go to the city to post a notice: saying that this is a civil war in the defense of the country, and now King Wei is plotting to usurp the throne and implement tyranny on the people, making the people miserable." In order to restore the country and bring peace and contentment to the people, the daughter of the original king of Wei led troops to crusade against the state, and the Zhou Dynasty sent troops to support in order to maintain justice. ”

"That's good." Hualong thinks it's good to refute rumors.

King Zhou also said: "It is also to block some people's mouths, Yan Xiangguo hurriedly sent someone to do it." ”

"King Zhou, Yan Xiangguo, after defeating the country this time, I am ready to let the daughter of the original King of Wei, Ji Xian, be the queen of the country. After we unify the world, we will directly take back the country, I don't know if you have any opinions? Hua Long felt that he should say hello to King Zhou and Yan Rate about this.

King Zhou agreed: "This method is good, so that we can not only block the tongues of other countries, but in fact, we control the country." But will this woman be a king? ”

Yan Shu also said: "This method is really good, if we make others kings after we defeat the country, it is not easy to control, maybe it will be a waste of work." But this is the first time that the queen has heard that General Hua's idea is indeed too bold. ”

Hua Long said: "There are many things, as long as someone does it, others will slowly accept it." Especially Princess Ji Ling, as soon as she heard that she was going to be a queen, she had to ask Ji Xian to let her do it for a year. ”

Yan Shu shook his head and said, "This princess also dares to play!" ”

King Zhou also sighed and said: "This girl is also crazy, she is almost 20 years old, and she is not married yet, so she can only be forced into Hua Aiqing when the time comes, anyway, you are used to it." ”

Yan Shu said: "King Zhou, I think the princess has a lot of fun, and she is also very good at leading troops to fight, just worse than General Xiang, you should be happy." ”
