Cottages.

It is a checkpoint located between Chiyang and Pinglu, and is flanked on both sides by the branches of Mt. Nakajo, again blocking the road from west to east.

Although its degree of danger is not as high as Chiyang, it can also be used as a barrier to defend the royal city. And now the Jin army has conquered Jiangguan from the north and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yu State, and the building has become the gateway to the western part of Yu State.

It is 110 miles long from Louzhai to Chiyang from east to west, and from Chiyang to the south of the border with the Kingdom of Yu 230 miles from north to south, there are six county seats, hundreds of villages and towns, and the population is about 150,000.

Of course, in Fang Li's opinion, these county towns can only be called towns and villages at best, with a population of 10,000 in the slightly larger ones and only six or seven thousand in the slightly smaller ones.

Fang Li was not surprised by this, the entire Yu Kingdom was only the area of a county, how much could he expect the county town below him to be?

After a day of rapid marching, Fang Li led his troops to arrive at Louzhai Pass in the evening, and the captain surnamed Lu, who was in charge of guarding the pass, hurriedly led his troops out of the pass to greet him and meet the new lieutenant general.

"Appeal ......"

Fang Li took the reins of his horse and turned over, "The main force led by General Meng Ming has already passed?" ”

When passing through the Broken Dragon Valley of Wangwu Mountain, Fang Li saw that there were many rolling stones and trees piled up on both sides of the valley on both sides of the mountain, and knew that this was left by Bailishi.

Looking at the horse's hooves and ruts on the ground, it is obvious that Baili Shi has led his troops back to Pinglu to help, and it seems that Baili Susu did not keep his footsteps to save the king.

Captain Lu handed over his hand and reported: "If you return to the lieutenant general, the general has already led the army to pass through the pass two hours ago and returned to Pinglu to rescue the driver." Before leaving, he told his subordinates to hand over the command of the building to the general. ”

Fang Li is not polite, there are only three lieutenant generals in Yu Guo, one Teng Xun was killed in battle, and one Du Xun fell ill, and he is now the No. 2 general of Yu Guo, of course, he is the best candidate to guard the building.

Fang Li had long expected that Baili Susu would not be able to keep Baili Shi, and with his loyalty, he would never save Wangcheng if he was surrounded and killed, just let Baili Susu catch up and try his luck.

Since Bailishi has already led his troops to pass the pass, Fang Li can only lead his troops and horses to defend the Louzhai Pass according to the original plan to keep the land in the western part of Yu Kingdom.

For Fang Li, this land no longer only belongs to the Yu Kingdom, but is the foundation of his struggle for hegemony in the world.

Only by blocking the Jin army's attack and holding this land could Gongsun Yan's plan be achieved, and after the Jin army retreated, he quickly annexed the Yu and Yu states, and then conquered the small states of Shen, Su, and Wuwu to the south.

For this reason, Fang Li must go all out, instead of watching from the sidelines like rescuing Pinglu and preserve his strength.

Fang Li, accompanied by Captain Lu, inspected the circle of the building, and instructed Zhang Liao and Yan Liang to lead the soldiers to move all the rolling stones and timbers that could be used to the east city wall, and from now on, the direction of defense was also shifted from the west to the east.

Because there is Chiyang as a barrier in the north, the number of troops stationed in the building all year round is only 500 people, and under the command of this Captain Lu, Fang Li assigned him to Yan Liang's subordinates to listen to orders.

Just as Fang Li was commanding the soldiers to carry supplies to the city wall, someone suddenly pointed in the southeast direction: "Look, there are more than ten horsemen over there!" ”

In a few moments, the group arrived at the pass, and the leader was long and jade, and although he was only wearing an ordinary robe, he looked heroic and extraordinary.

"Haha...... It turned out that Gongjin was back, it was really timely rain! ”

When he saw clearly that it was Zhou Yu and his entourage, Fang Li couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly went out to greet him in person.

Since Gongsun Yan left, Fang Li was plagued by the lack of civil officials, so he had no choice but to personally preside over the construction of Hedong, and the return of the Zhou Dudu, who was able to write and martial arts, could naturally share the heavy responsibility on Fang Li's shoulders.

"I've seen General Fang!"

Zhou Yu dismounted and bowed to Fang Li, with an infectious smile on his face, "After seven or eight days, I heard that Bo Fu has been promoted to lieutenant general again?" What a joy! ”

Fang Lihan laughed: "I can only say that I am lucky, hey...... By the way, you didn't go back to pick it up...... Has your wife gone? ”

The words in the back are swallowed back, didn't you go back to Lujiang to pick up your daughter-in-law and eldest aunt, why didn't you see a figure? Won't it change the hexagram, right? If that was the case, Fang Li didn't know if he would run to Lujiang and take Da Qiao back from captivity?

Zhou Yu smiled happily: "Hehe...... After I went back, I learned that Humble Jing had been pregnant for more than three months, and I was afraid that the journey would cause her to be fetal, so I had to leave her in my hometown, and it would not be too late to receive Yu Guo after the child was born in the future. ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Fang Li's hanging heart just landed, but he had reservations about Zhou Yu's words.

Zhou Yu said that Xiao Qiao was pregnant and did not dare to travel long distances, which was probably the main reason. But it is not ruled out that Zhou Yu learned that the Jin army was pressing the border on a large scale, and he was worried about the safety of the Qiao sisters after they came to Yu State, so he changed his mind and the Qiao sisters stayed in Lujiang.

Seeing Fang Li's face change, Zhou Yu guessed it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Bofu, I have already mentioned this marriage to my eldest sister, and she is very interested in your deeds." After the clumsy Jing is finished, I will go north to meet Bofu together, as long as you don't dislike it, you and I will be brothers-in-law in the future! ”

"Huh...... Where did Gong Jin say this, how can I judge people by their appearance? ”

After Zhou Yu saw through his thoughts, Fang Li showed embarrassment, and even he didn't believe what he said, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Gong Jin is afraid that he won't be able to go back for a while, and it will be okay to leave Mrs. Zun in her hometown, right?" ”

Zhou Yu and Fang Li walked through the city gate side by side and said: "There is Lao Bofu to worry about, our Zhou clan is a big clan in Lujiang, and my uncle is a county lieutenant in the county, so no one will bully them." ”

Fang Xuan said, "You Zhou Dudu will be reincarnated, not to mention bringing his wife and eldest aunt to this world, but also backed by a scholar clan, how can I be alone, I don't even know which country I am from!" ”

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Li suddenly became interested in his life experience.

When he was born, the system only said that he was a doorman under Baili Xi, and he did not say which country he was born in, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, celebrities who worked for foreign countries abounded, and the doormen of Yu State were not equal to Yu people!

Zhou Yu glanced around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said in Fang Li's ear: "On the way, I have already learned the news that Jiangguan was lost, Teng, Lin and other generals were killed in battle, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

Fang Li sighed: "Alas...... The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Yu State, forget it...... People die for the greatest, don't make an evaluation! ”

"This Teng Xun has been guarding the Jiangguan for ten years, and he is not a mediocre person, this time he was taken by the Jin army overnight, Bo Fu can know the reason?" Zhou Yu put his hands behind his back and asked calmly.

Fang Li frowned: "Could it be because of Li Ji?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "It must be because of Li Ji, it rained heavily the night before, and only women can make men feel pity." ”

"Huh...... It's really a hero who is sad about the beauty pass, General Teng's mercy on the jade has ruined the future of Yu Guo! Fang Li smiled bitterly.

Zhou Yu lowered his voice again: "I don't evaluate the generals who died in Yu Guo, I only say that I have a serial plan and can make a fuss about Li Ji." ”

"Oh...... Serial meter? Fang Li smiled, "This is your specialty!" ”

Zhou Yu was a little puzzled: "I mentioned the serial plan to Bofu?" ”

Fang Li didn't answer, and leaned forward to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin has any clever plan, come and listen." ”

When Fang Li returned to the conference hall with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu told him the plan: "The reason why the Jin people were able to break through quickly was that nine times out of ten they used Li Ji as a chess piece to deceive General Teng Xun. Maybe she hasn't gone far at this moment, Bofu can send a team of elite soldiers to chase after her, if she can catch Li Ji and then transfer him to other powers, it will inevitably cause a conflict between the two countries and bring Yu back to life! ”

"Cow!" Fang Li gave a thumbs up to Zhou Yu, "When I have more soldiers and horses in the future, I will definitely make you the governor!" ”
