Wei Chou suffered defeats in a row, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and also lost the Yu King City that he had taken first, and he could be said to have lost completely in the contest with Fang Li.

After losing Pinglu, Wei Chou panicked like a lost dog, and led 20,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers to flee towards Jiangguan, trying to control the northern gateway of the Yu State, and in the future, he relieved the siege of the Zhao State, and could make a comeback at any time and smash Pinglu.

"Yingbu has been waiting here for a long time, where are you waiting for the thieves?"

When the Jin army arrived at the city of Jiangguan, a war drum sounded on the quiet city wall, the banners of Yu Guo were erected one after another, and Yingbu held a sword in his hand and loudly commanded the defenders on the city to fire arrows in unison.

It turned out that after receiving the news that Fang Li's division was going north, Yingbu and the Koji soldiers divided into two roads, leaving the Koji Yi to continue to sit in the Louzhai Village, and Yingbu led 3,000 elites to quietly go out of the Louzhai Pass, all the way to the east, over the mountains and mountains, and the soldiers came to the city the night before to recover the Jiangguan in one fell swoop.

The arrows on the head of the city are all fired, like flying locusts as dense, the flag is unfurled, covering the sky and the sun, I don't know how many ambush soldiers?

Moreover, the high walls of Jiangguan City are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wei Chou can only order the whole army to change the route to the east after taking seven or eight hundred lives, cross the Black Mountain and enter the Zhao State to defect to the main general.

Yingbu only had 3,000 soldiers in his hands, and he didn't dare to go out of the pass to chase after him, so as not to be self-defeating, so he let Wei Chou lead his troops to leave, and at the same time sent messengers to Pinglu to report to Fang Li.

At this time, Pinglu was jubilant, and the people took to the streets to celebrate the recovery of the national capital, and finally they no longer had to be slaves of the country. Everyone bowed to each other, just kneeling three times and bowing nine times, and at this moment Fang Li's prestige almost reached its peak!

Fang Li didn't care about accepting the worship of the people, and he still had to do the superficial work, first placed Ji Shubi "properly", and then took Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others to mourn Ji Xian, and buried the former Duke Yu in a grand manner.

The Jin army may counterattack at any time, Fang Li discussed with Zhou Yu, and decided to order Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 Yu coalition troops to Louzhai to assist Liyi to guard the pass, and ordered Yan Liang to lead 10,000 Yu coalition troops to rush to Jiangguan to assist Yingbu; As long as he can hold these two checkpoints, he will be able to block the Jin army north of Wangwu Mountain, making it difficult for him to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

Seeing that the Yu army had recovered the national capital and he had not been able to get his freedom for a long time, Ji Shubi protested to Fang Li continuously: "General Fang, Fang Li, you have borrowed our army from the Kingdom of Yu to recover Pinglu, should you let the widows return to the country?" ”

Since Ji Shubi, the fat sheep, had already entered the tiger's mouth, Fang Li naturally would not let him go again, and after discussing with Zhou Yu, he decided to adopt a bold plan to forcibly merge the two kingdoms of Yu into one country, and then boil frogs in warm water to slowly devour the power and land of the kingdom of Qiu.

"Gong Yu, although the Jin army retreats, the heart of death will not die, and if you divide it, you will die, and if you join it, you will prosper!"

In the early morning of this day, Fang Li was fully clothed, with a sword hanging from his waist, and took more than ten generals such as Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, and Ji Ling to go straight to Ji Shubi's residence, and pulled up Duke Yu, who had just opened his eyes, to discuss national affairs.

Ji Shubi was taken aback by this formation, and snorted: "How is it legal, how is it divided?" ”

Fang Li sat opposite Ji Shubi and said calmly: "Yu and Yu are both descendants of the Ji family, hundreds of years ago they were one, and now they are facing powerful princes from all walks of life, and there is a risk of the country being ruined at any time. ”

"Two into one?" Ji Shubi was taken aback, "I'm afraid that the people of our kingdom won't agree!" ”

Fang Li sneered; "If it weren't for me and my generals to repel the Jin army, now that the iron hooves of the Jin Kingdom have stepped into Xingyang, and by then the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and the family will be ruined, will the people of your Yu Kingdom agree?"

People kill me as fish and meat, Ji Shubi also knows that he is powerless to resist in this situation, so he can only make compromises first, and then try to make a later decision, "Since the general thinks that the merger of the two countries is more conducive to Sheji, let's merge the two into one, but should the country name be used Yu or Yu?" ”

Fang Li smiled slightly: "Yu and Yu are both weak in the hearts of the princes, and it is difficult to return, and the people of the two countries also regard themselves as weak. Now that the two countries have become one, it is unprecedented, and when another country name is established, it is better to set the country name - Fang, right? (This country name has been bothering the swordsman for several months, and he can't make up his mind for a long time, so he uses the protagonist's surname!) ）

"The sky is round, the center of Yuyu is in the middle, the king's spirit is flashing, and the society is long!" Zhou Yu followed closely, "The minister thinks that it is most appropriate to set the country name!" ”

Ji Shubi also knew that it was useless for him to resist, so he simply left himself at his mercy: "Okay...... You can name whatever country you want. ”

Ji Shubi pointed at Fang Li, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, and Ji Ling in turn: "You can use anyone's surname, Zhao, Zhou, Ji, Fang, whatever you want, you can use whichever you want!" ”

Fang Li smiled: "Hehe...... The lord's words are wrong to blame Weichen, there are already Zhou, Zhao, and Ji in this world, and they can only use square words! ”

Ji Shubi was still a little unwilling, stretched his neck and asked, "If the two countries merge, who will be the prince of the country?" ”

"The two lords take turns to govern, each for one year, and the military and political power is assisted by the ministers, you just need to enjoy peace." Fang Li did not smile, and said his behavior of forcing the palace in a righteous and strict manner, worrying about the country and the people.

Hearing that he was also allowed to serve as the nominal lord, Ji Shubi seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly agreed: "Then it's decided, but the first lord must be made by the widow first." ”

Fang Li instructed Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin immediately put up a pen to draft an edict, and ask the lord to stamp the big seal!" ”

Zhou Yu soon wrote a sprinkling essay, boasting about how brilliant the future of the two countries would be after the merger, how strong the country would be, and how the people's livelihood would become richer and richer. Not only will it never be invaded by the Jin army again, but it will also be able to dominate the world and become one of the powerful countries.

After the edict was drafted and Ji Shubi was forced to affix a seal on it, Zhou Yu immediately sent people to Xingyang to inform him of the decision to merge the civil and military forces. They have no soldiers and horses in their hands, and if they dare to resist, they will raise troops to fight in the name of resisting the edict and disobeying the edict, and strive to make the division famous.

The name of the country was decided, the lord was also decided, Fang Li discussed with Zhou Yu again, and decided to temporarily set the capital of Fang Guo in Hanoi, leaving Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 horses to guard Pinglu, and other soldiers followed Fang Li and Zhou Yu south to Hanoi to meet Chen Deng and Liao Hua.

Two days later, Fang Li and Zhou Yu led a crowd of soldiers to embrace Ji Shubi into Hanoi, Chen Deng and Liao Hua went out to greet him, and reported to Fang Li that they had recruited another 3,000 new troops in these days, and Liao Hua was training day and night.

Fang Li was satisfied with the performance of Chen Deng and Liao Hua, and then sent an envoy to Wenxi, asking the judge to take Ji Zhai to Hanoi, and Ji Shubi to "take charge of the government" together, be two puppet lords, and when the time is ripe in the future, he will stand on behalf of Ji and become king.
