Zhao Gu, the county guard, was shocked when he learned from Zhao Xie that the monarch had led an army of 50,000 to support. For the sake of Northern Xinjiang, the king will personally take risks. However, just before reinforcements arrived, a scout came to Heijo and said, "General, Sergeant Heijo mutinied. ”

Zhao Gu paused when he heard this, as if he didn't believe that the news he heard with his ears was true. Zhao Gu stabilized his mind, looked at Zhao Xie, and turned his gaze to Zhao Xi. It seemed to ask him with his eyes what was going on.

Zhao Xie patted Zhao Gu on the shoulder and said, "Brother! There can be no mistakes in Heijo. Once Pingcheng fell into the hands of Yan Guo, Daicheng was in danger. ”

The importance of Pingcheng's geographical location to Daicheng, Zhao Gu understands. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of sticking to the city was handed over to the trustworthy general. Zhao Xi did not live up to Zhao Gu's trust, no matter how Yan Guo launched a fierce attack, he would not be able to advance half a step.

Zhao Xi was not surprised at all when he heard this. What he feared in his heart eventually happened. In the face of Yan Jun's repeated insults and provocations, Zhao Jun could not hold out. How can anyone who is bloody hold back his feelings? For the eldest husband, life and death are small, and humiliation is great. However, the order issued by Zhao Gong was to stick to it. Although Zhao Xi can understand the general situation, he understands the overall situation. The people under him do not have his vision and opinion. These days, in order to appease the final soldiers, he has not put much effort into it.

When Zhao Xi heard that Zhao Zhuang, the deputy general who stayed behind, although he did not restrain the mutiny, he held Pingcheng. Seeing the urgency of the situation, Zhao Xi got up and said, "The county guard handed over Pingcheng to me, but I failed you." Please let me make amends for my mistakes. ”

"Okay." Zhao Gu sorted out the information brought by the scouts, and the conclusion he got was that the crisis in Pingcheng still needed to be dealt with by Zhao Xi. Just in case, Zhao Gu had to make careful arrangements, "General Zhao Xi, how many men do you need." ”

Zhao Xie also said: "I will bring 5,000 men and horses, and let you dispatch them." ”

Zhao Gu and Zhao Xie's words are good intentions. Zhao Xi listened to it in his ears, and he always felt like a fish in his throat, which was very uncomfortable. The trouble was caused by him, and it was up to him to put an end to it.

"No need. I'm enough for one person. Zhao Xi arched his hand and said: "I'll solve the matter of Pingcheng." Something happened, and I'm responsible. ”

"If the city is lost, can you afford to pay the responsibility?" Zhao Gu saw that he was still reckless at this time, and glared at him, "If you want to be responsible, it should be me." ”

Zhao Xi pleaded and said, "County guard, the cause of Pingcheng is mine, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"As your superior, something happened to me, so it has nothing to do with me." Zhao Gu retracted his eyes and said in a calm tone: "Okay, don't say it." We still have to find a way to deal with the situation in Heijo. General Zhao Xi, I believe that you will give me a satisfactory explanation. ”

Zhao Gu and Zhao Xie personally sent Zhao Xi out of the city gate. Zhao Xie saw the figures of Zhao Xi and the seven guards swallowing up the night, and sighed, "Zhao Xi is a talent, but unfortunately he has a stubborn personality. Something happened to Pingcheng, and ordinary people couldn't hide, and he chose to jump into the fire pit. Brother Zhao Gu, you just let him fall into the tiger's mouth. I think we should increase the number of people to help him. ”

"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Retreat is not Zhao Xi's character, people like him will only choose to move forward. Zhao Gu's eyes kept looking at the direction of Zhao Xi's departure, and said, "The matter of Pingcheng has not yet reached the situation of defeat. Perhaps, General Zhao Xi has a countermeasure. ”

Zhao Xie's thoughts were not as optimistic as his, "The situation in Pingcheng has expanded and it is out of control." As soon as Zhao Xi goes, it will be difficult to return! ”

At the same time, Zhao Yongqin led reinforcements to support Daidi. Due to the difficulty of the road and the slow pace of the march, there was a delay on the road for a little time. Thirty miles away from Daicheng, the news of the mutiny in Heicheng reached his ears.

Fei Yi ordered someone to take a map of the area of the land.

Fei Yi, with high eyebrows, said heavily: "Your Majesty, the geographical location of Pingcheng should not be underestimated. Pingcheng is lost, and there is no natural danger to defend on behalf of the city. Based on Pingcheng, the Yan army could attack and retreat. Once the Yan Man has gained a foothold, it will not be easy for us to defeat him. ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Do you have any good ideas." ”

"For now, we have to bypass Daicheng and go directly to Pingcheng." Fei Yi, his fingers, slid around the pattern, and nodded at the location of Pingcheng, "Your Majesty, please allow me to take eight thousand soldiers first, and you will lead the army behind." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yong immediately agreed to Feiyi's suggestion.

Zizhi, leading the Yan army, prepared to take Pingcheng at night and made great contributions. Suddenly, someone came to report, saying that the main force of the Yan army had retreated three miles. When Zizhi heard this, his face was shocked.

It turned out that the army of Zizhi attacked Zhao. Ji Hao, stay in the army. A strong wind blew, and the tent of the Yan army camp caught fire, causing a riot in the army, and Ji Hao mistakenly thought that the enemy army was coming. led the men and horses, and took the initiative to retreat back three miles.

Zi figured out in his heart that without Yan Xu's help, he could do it alone. At this moment, fires broke out in Pingcheng City, shouting to kill and shake the sky, and there was a riot. This is the signal for the siege. The generals beside Zizhi were overjoyed. However, Zizhi's face was solemn, and he did not give the order to attack the city for a long time. Everyone was puzzled, what was wrong with General Zizhi. It's hard to miss out on this great opportunity.

Zizhi, who has been fighting all year round, has developed a keen sense of smell. Listening to the shouts of killing in the city, he vaguely realized that danger was around him. Suddenly, a scout who escaped from Pingcheng came to report that Zhao had returned Zhao Xi, which not only stopped the mutiny of the sergeants, but also uprooted the scouts who were hiding in Pingcheng. If he hadn't reacted fast enough, I'm afraid he would have become a ghost under Zhao Ren's knife.

Everyone exclaimed, not understanding what was going on.

......

Zhao Xi hurried back to Pingcheng, rode one person and one horse, and rushed straight to the military camp, stopping the mutiny with thunderous means. Zhao Xi's prestige in Pingcheng cannot be replaced by anyone. The mutinous soldiers, seeing the return of the general, did not make any resistance, and chose to lay down their blades. The scouts planted by Yan Guo in Pingcheng were also all cleared by Zhao Xi.

The imminent crisis in Pingcheng was easily resolved by Zhao Xi by himself.

Zhao Xi got a message from the mouth of the Yan State scout... The scouts arranged by the Yan State in the city will use the open fire as a signal at the third watch to respond to the attack of the Yan army outside the city. Zhao Xi came up with a plan and decided to completely annihilate the invading Yan army in order to expand the results of the battle. The signal for the siege had already been sent, and there was a commotion in the city. Zhao Xi stood on the high city tower, witnessing every move of the Yan army outside the city. I didn't see the slightest movement of the Yan army outside the city.

Zizhi hesitated for a moment, not only saving himself, but also his soldiers. Now Pingcheng cannot be taken, and it is difficult to build a great achievement. Now that he was alone, he was helpless, and he decisively ordered, "Withdraw." ”

Zizhi led the army to retreat, and encountered 8,000 Zhao soldiers led by Feiyi. Zizhi is worthy of being a fierce general in the army, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and commands the soldiers to set up a position to meet the enemy. The Zhao army had just arrived, and its morale was at its peak, and it was in full swing. Zizhi saw that the combat effectiveness of this Zhao army was tenacious, far better than the Zhao army he had encountered earlier. In addition, it was too dark to distinguish the number of enemies. After a brief entanglement, Zizhi led the Yan army back.

Fei Yi saw that the Yan army was retreating, and he was in order, and he did not chase after him.

In this battle, the soldiers of Yan and Zhao were slightly damaged, but they did not hurt their vitality in the end. Of the 8,000 soldiers of Feiyi, more than 1,000 were killed or wounded. However, the fact that the first battle could force the Yan army back was really a major event that inspired the morale of the army. Feiyi, leading the soldiers, returned to Pingcheng. Zhao Xi saw that it was reinforcements and personally went out of the city to greet him. Just when Fei Yi and Zhao Xi greeted each other, the army led by Zhao Yong came in the dust. Fei Yi and Zhao Xi went together to welcome Zhao Jun into the city. For a time, a lot of people came to the small Pingcheng.

Zhao Xi led his generals to meet Zhao Jun.

Zhao Yong, looking around at the generals, "General Zhao Xi, you used the land of Pingcheng to resist tens of thousands of Yan troops, and your credit is great." Widow, I want to write down a credit for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xi continued: "The merit of Pingcheng is not the strength of me alone, but the merit of all the soldiers who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths. ”

"In the military, it is not allowed to drink alcohol. If you are outnumbered, you can't break the rules in the army. Today, water is used to bring wine. "Zhao Yong, to all the soldiers, "I respect everyone." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the soldiers drank it all. Although it is drinking water, it is quite enjoyable to drink.

Zhao Yong asked: "Yan Guo is coming, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy." ”

Fei Yi arched his hand and said, "I just fought with Yan Jun head-on. The Yan people resisted Beihu with the strength of a country. The swallow is respectable. In the face of the heavy attack of the Yan army, your lord, we should not be underestimated. ”

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, because of the trouble of Rong Di, the country died. King Zhou Ping also succeeded to the throne because of the prevention of Rongdi's troubles, gave up the capital of hundreds of years and moved east to Luoyi. The Yan Kingdom was much weaker than the Western Zhou royal family. Yan State can resist Rong Di with the strength of a country without being destroyed, and it has existed for hundreds of years, and it is also worthy of the name of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

Zhao Yong, seeing that Zhao Xi opened his mouth, seemed to have something to say, and asked, "Zhao Xi, what good plan do you have." ”

Zhao Xi arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, although the Yan army is strong, the soldiers of my Zhao State are not weak. The last general thought that there must be a break between Yan and Zhao. Your Majesty, please give the order to start a war with the Yan army. ”

"The widow personally led tens of thousands of troops and came to support. In order to fight a good battle with the Yan army. ”

The general of Pingcheng, seeing the intention of the king, decided to start a war with the Yan army. After holding it for so long, it was finally released, and they all took the initiative to ask for help and go into battle to break the enemy.

Zhao Yong saw that all the soldiers took the initiative to ask for help, and his heart was all happy.

Fei Yi, from the wide sleeves, took out the prepared battle book, held it high, and raised it high, "The benefits of conquest, the division is famous." I will draw up a war letter, and I would like you to take a look at it. ”

Mu Jian stepped forward to take the battle book and presented it to Zhao Jun. Zhao Yong took the battle book, unfolded it and watched it, between the lines, it made people's blood boil, and he couldn't help shouting: "Okay." The gentleman said: The division of the conquest should be famous. Generals, who is willing to go to the Yan army camp and declare war on behalf of the widows. ”

"The last general, Niu Jian is willing to go."
