Before Fang Li recruited a new army, Yu Guo only had 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Among them, 8,000 people were stationed in Jiangguan all the year round, 6,000 people guarded Chiyang, and about 3,000 were arranged in the south and other fortresses, and the remaining troops defending the royal city were about 15,000.

Baili sees that the strength of the Yu State is far from being able to compete with the powerful Jin State, and in the case of losing the foreign aid of the Yu State, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to resist the attack of the Jin State!

The Yu State had a population of 600,000, while the Jin State had a population of 6.5 million, and this number was growing rapidly due to Chong'er's good governance. The population gap between the two sides is as high as 10 times, and the difference in comprehensive national strength is huge.

In terms of military affairs, the Jin State has 400,000 elite soldiers, 30,000 horses, 5,000 chariots, and the number of troops ranks among the top five in the world. However, the Yu State only had 32,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 war horses, and 400 chariots, which was even greater than the population gap between the two countries.

It can be said that this is not a level of war at all, Bailishi knew that even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to reverse the huge disparity between the two sides, so he had no choice but to take risks, planned a drama where the generals were incompatible, and sent Fang Li to Chiyang as the main general.

For this plan, Bailishi can be described as painstaking, and even deliberately made it difficult to cause conflicts.

After Fang Li rushed to Chiyang to take up his post, Bailishi left his deputy general Han Qi to lead 5,000 people to guard the royal city, and he secretly left Pinglu with 10,000 people, and went to the mountains west of the building to find an ambush site, and cut down trees to make wood, and mine rocks to accumulate rolling stones.

Just when Baili was busy and thought that the Jin army would be successful in nine out of ten, news came that Fang Li had built additional walls in Chiyang, deceived 80,000 people from Liang and Qiu, and recruited 8,000 new troops from them.

"What, Fang Li, this kid kidnapped 80,000 people in one go?"

At that time, Bailishi, who was cutting down trees, put down his axe and showed an incredulous gaze, it seemed that his father valued this kid not without purpose.

But then Bailishi found that Fang Li's actions were likely to cause his plan to fail, and Chiyang's defenders were expanded to 10,000, and the city walls were strengthened and raised, so it was difficult to determine whether the Jin army would use Chiyang as a breakthrough.

Looking at the rolling stones and trees in the dangerous places of the mountains, these are the hard work of Bailishi and 10,000 soldiers for more than ten days, and Bailishi really can't bear to put it into flowing water like this.

Bailishi also thought about transferring Fang Li from Chiyang again, and let the 80,000 people who returned to Shunyu move to Pinglu, but as soon as Daddy Baili Xi didn't agree to remove Fang Li, even if it was a show!

Second, Baili Vision has to do this too obviously, a little underestimate the IQ of the Jin people, and transfer a general who has made great contributions from the front line, there is no fraud in this!

Moreover, Bailishi was also afraid that Fang Li's departure from Chiyang would cause the army to panic, which would cause fluctuations in the newly recruited army, and the people who had just returned to the Yu Kingdom would have other ideas, so they had to give up.

Just when Bailishi was hesitating, information came from Jiangguan that the Jin general Wei Chou brought 300 people to escort Li Ji to the foot of Jiangguan, and asked to open the gate to send Li Ji to Pinglu.

"What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, how can it be possible to send his woman as a hostage?"

Bailishi decided to lead his troops down the mountain to Jiangguan to garrison, but he was worried that the rolling stones and wooden landslides on both sides of the valley after the team left, blocking the road or causing casualties to passers-by, and carried out another day of disposal before going down the mountain.

At this moment, the bad news came, like a thunderbolt from the sky!

"What? Teng Xun, Lin Yue, and Zhang Hu all died in Jiangguan, and the whole army was wiped out? ”

Bailishi didn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe it in his dreams, but in one night, the Jiangguan stationed with 12,000 people was lost.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Baili couldn't help but shed tears, and mourned: "It's my Baili who is incompetent, I can't live with the lord, and I am sorry for the soldiers of the three armies, what face do I have to face the people of the world?" ”

At this moment, the scout sent information again, first ordered Wei Chou to be the vanguard, raised 50,000 troops to open the way, and then commanded an army of 150,000 to kill Pinglu like a tide.

"No, I have to hurry back to the royal city to escort me!" Baili Shi calmed down from his grief and decided to lead his division back to Pinglu to defend it.

Bailishi also knew that the gap between the two sides was huge, and the defenders of Pinglu only had 15,000 men and horses in their hands, how long could they hold out in the face of the overwhelming 200,000 Jin troops?

"As a courtier, you should die for your country!"

Baili Shi turned over and got on his horse, holding the heart of death, "Teng, Lin and other generals have died in battle, and we should also fight to protect the royal city." The city is in the people, the city is broken and the people die! ”

Pinglu has a monarch with a hundred miles of vision, parents and children, brothers and sisters, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces of Yu State, and they can't tolerate a hundred miles of vision without help, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, they can't retreat!

Under the leadership of Bailishi, this 10,000-strong army of Yu soldiers and horses marched eastward with the heart of death, fighting to the death for their brothers and sisters.

"Father, go slowly, walk slowly!"

Dressed in military uniforms and with bows and arrows on their backs, Baili Susu and Zhu Rong quickly whipped their horses and galloped all the way, and finally found the trace of the army after passing the Louzhai Pass. Baili Susu stared at Baili Shi's banner and chased after his horse, shouting loudly.

Baili Shi heard the shouts in the army, reined in the reins, looked back, and found that it was his beloved daughter who had been away for half a moon chasing after him, and couldn't help but show a kind smile: "Susu, why are you here?" Didn't you follow your master to stay in Chiyang? ”

Baili Susu turned over and dismounted, grabbed the reins of Baili Shi forward, and said breathlessly: "Father, you can't go back!" Master...... General Fang asked me to chase you, telling you that going back to Pinglu is hitting a stone with an egg, and you must not go back! ”

Baili Shi smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically, "Where is Fang Li now?" ”

"General Fang received an edict from Duke Yu in Chiyang, asking him to lead his troops to Qin Wang, but he didn't do so."

Baili Susu pulled the reins hard to prevent Baili from leaving, and in order to avoid his father from getting angry, he changed the title of the other party to "General Fang".

Baili frowned, revealing displeasure: "Oh...... The lord is in trouble, as a courtier, can't he be saved when he sees death? ”

Baili Susu defended Fang Li: "My master...... General Fang said that he would not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch, and he did not return to Pinglu for the sake of Yu Guo, but led his troops to the building to garrison. It is planned that Duke Yu will lead the officials and concubines of the royal city to take refuge in the west, so that the kingdom of Yu will not perish! ”

Baili looked at his beard and pondered for a moment, and affirmed the other party's approach: "Hmm...... Fang Li did this very decisively, he did have the demeanor of a general, and your grandfather was really not mistaken. Defending the building, moving the imperial court westward, and using the terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain to deal with the Jin army was the only way for us to avoid the destruction of the Yu State. ”

Seeing that his father agreed to Fang Li's approach, Baili Susu showed joy: "So my father promised to stop the march?" ”

Baili Shi shook his head: "It's enough to stay away from the building, I have to return to Pinglu to save the driver." It is only a hundred and fifty miles from Jiangguan to Pinglu, and the Jin army will surround the lord at any time, and I must personally go to the rescue and protect Yu Gong to take refuge in the west. ”

Baili Susu showed a worried expression: "But like this, father, you will be in danger!" ”

Baili Shi smiled and patted his daughter's shoulder: "Susu, Wangcheng still has your mother and grandfather, and your brothers and sisters, can my father not save him when he dies?" Without my protection, can they reach the building from the encirclement and suppression of the Jin army's iron cavalry? ”

Baili Susu's eyes were already moist: "Then I'll go back with my father to rescue the driver!" Daddy wants to go back to save your father, and Su Su also wants to go back to save his mother, if the father can't promise me, please don't force your daughter, let's father and daughter fight side by side, live and die together! ”

Baili Shi couldn't help but have a sour nose, and patted his daughter's shoulder again: "Okay...... It is worthy of being the daughter of my Baili Shi, since this is the case, our father and daughter will work side by side to rescue the family from the royal city. ”
