Seventy-seven Victory and defeat are commonplace
"The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman can't win the ambition!"
Looking at Jing Ke's limping back, Fang Li felt sorry for not being able to keep such a strong swordsman with martial arts by his side.
But fortunately, knowing Jing Ke's whereabouts, in addition to being able to give Jing Xi an explanation when he goes back, maybe one day he will be able to use Jing Ke to do a vigorous thing for himself, such a person with an upright personality and a promise may be destined to be an assassin by nature!
The episode came to an end, after this turmoil, the officers and soldiers of the three armies were all awe-inspiring, looking at Du Peng and other more than ten bloody heads, the bandit leaders who had changed from the king of the mountain to the soldiers warned their subordinates: "Which turtle son has caused trouble for Lao Tzu, I will destroy your whole family!" After making meritorious achievements on the battlefield, are you still worried that there is no woman without food and drink? ”
At noon the next day, 5,000 soldiers arrived at the Chenggao camp, Zhang Liao and Yan Liang led nearly 100 generals from the Kingdom of Yu to go out to greet them. ”
Fang Li rode past Ji Shubi, stretched out his hands and greeted, "The generals don't have to be polite!" ”
The generals of the Kingdom of Yu looked at each other, one by one dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and Uncle Ji did not squeak, and they did not dare to act rashly, so they could only let Fang Li show off his might.
"I also learned this trick from Prime Minister Cao Cheng!"
Fang Li said in his heart that he was very innocent, since he had learned to cut his hair and act as the head, it would not hurt to learn to hunt in Xuchang, there should be no loyal and righteous generals like Guan Yunchang, right?
After entering the camp, in order to prevent the Yu army from competing for Ji Shubi, Fang Li arranged all his men and horses to guard around the tent and arranged the Yu army on the periphery. As long as the army is a little troubled, he will use Ji Shubi to threaten them not to act rashly.
Nothing happened overnight.
In the early morning of the next day, the whole army was full of food and drink, and with Fang Li's order, more than 40,000 soldiers pulled out the camp to the north, mighty and mighty, and pointed at the Pinglu of King Yu's city.
According to the scout's report, when Xian Zhen went north, he left 70,000 soldiers and horses for Wei Chou, and after several successive battles, he lost 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Wei Chou's troops are estimated to be only about 40,000.
However, the army led by Fang Li has more than 43,000 people, plus nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Zhou Yu of Louzhai, they have already gained the upper hand in terms of troops; Supplemented by Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Ji Ling, Zhu Rong and other generals, Fang Li was sure to expel Wei Chou, a martial artist, from Jiangguan, and even encircle and annihilate him.
Pinglu.
This city has a history of 600 years, since the establishment of King Wu of Zhou, has been the capital of the Yu State, and now the banner of the Jin State is flying on the city.
After successive defeats, Wei Chou's previous conceit had long been wiped out, and he led 20,000 remnants of the defeated army to return to Pinglu to meet with Zhao Dun to discuss the next plan.
"General Wei, now that the morale of the Yu Coalition Army is high, let's close the city gate and wait for help, right?" Zhao Dun made a suggestion with a helpless face.
Wei Chou stroked the bandaged wound and sighed: "I wanted to sweep away the kingdom of Qiu, but who knew that I fell for Fang Li's trick and lost my troops, I really had no shame to face the lord!" When you return to Quwo, can't you be laughed at by the father and son? ”
Zhao Dun comforted: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, General Wei doesn't have to worry, as long as we do our best, we won't blame us if we want to come." ”
Wei Chou stroked his beard and said: "Then pass my order, close the four gates of Pinglu, and hold on to help." I still have 40,000 soldiers and horses in my hands, I don't believe that he can attack the city? ”
"General, the Yuyu coalition army has won a great victory in Hanoi, and its morale is booming, and it will definitely counterattack Pinglu in one go. Let's send someone to escort Ji Yan, Baili Xi and others back to Quwo, so as not to be recaptured by the enemy and rescue Ji Yan and Baili Xi? Zhao Dun cautiously probed.
After taking Pinglu first, it was originally decided to escort Ji Yan, Baili Xi, Du Xi and other Yu monarchs and ministers back to Quwo to be handed over to the Duke of Jin for disposal, but before he left, Li Ji was taken captive.
On the one hand, the deceitful Zhu under the anger ordered Xianzhen and Wei Chou to attack the building with heavy troops, striving to pacify the western part of Yu State as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to discuss with Fang Li, can he exchange Ji Xi or Baili Xi for Li Ji?
In order to avoid giving people a handle, Fang Li quietly killed the envoy of the Jin State, destroyed the corpse and destroyed the traces, and then sent Yan Ti to send Li Ji to the Chu State as quickly as possible. This matter is extremely secretive, and very few people know about it, and even Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao and others in the building village don't know the news.
In this way, Li Ji did not come back, but Ji Xian, Baili Xi, Du Xi and other monarchs and ministers of Yu State were still detained in Pinglu, so Zhao Dun only proposed to send Ji Yan and others back to Jin State today.
When the Yuyu coalition forces counterattack Pinglu in the future, they can hold it, and if they can't hold it, they will retreat to the north, and they will not lose Ji Yan, Baili Xi and others, and they will not be able to explain to Jin Gong and Xianzhen.
Hearing Zhao Dun's words, Wei Chou's face turned angry, and he said angrily: "General Zhao actually looks down on this general so much? Since ancient times, ten times the siege of the city can be pulled, I defend the city with 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the Yuyu coalition army is only more than 50,000 people, and each has a ghost, I don't believe that they can step into the flat land. Ji Yan, Baili Xi and others continue to be detained in Pinglu City, and there is no need to send them anywhere! ”
Touching a nail, Zhao Dun was depressed, and immediately surrendered: "Okay, General Wei is the main general, if you don't send it, you won't send it!" The last will go and inspect the city. ”
The scouts of the Jin State were endless, sending news from all over the country into Pinglu in a steady stream, and at this moment Fang Li was leading his troops from Hanoi to Chenggao, and Zhou Yu in the building had not moved yet.
In the evening, Zhao Dun added 3,000 soldiers to the city wall, making the night defense force rise to 5,000 people, and the slightest wind and grass sounded the horn.
In the dead of night, the four hundred and fifty horsemen led by Xiang Yu had quietly approached Pinglu City, and under the guidance of Baili Susu, they got into a forest in the south of Pinglu City.
"Brother Xiang, there are at least five or six thousand defenders on the city wall!"
Ji Bu, who was in charge of spying on intelligence, walked around under the city wall, and returned to the woods in stride to report to Xiang Yu, "The four gates are closed, and the city wall is full of torches, with our four hundred and fifty people wanting to break through Pinglu, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”
Zhong Liwu and Yu Ziqi also hesitated: "Yes, according to the information we collected on the road, there are at least 40,000 Jin troops in Pinglu City, and it is a bit ...... to attack the city with our people."
Xiang Yu stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha...... Why, the three brothers are timid? We don't need to take Pinglu, we just need to break through the city gate and rescue Mr. Baili's family. ”
"The Jin army is so tightly defended, and we don't have a siege ladder, how can we break the door?" Yu Ziqi asked worriedly.
