The ministers' eyes widened in disbelief as if they had been struck by lightning. King Wu continued: "I hope that under the leadership of King Yici, everyone will sincerely unite and resist foreign humiliation; The building will fall. Keep me Baekje for eternity. ”

The ministers were stunned one by one, why did this man stop picking when the soldiers were coming to the city?

"Father!" Buyeo Yoshiji almost didn't pass out, and now that Baekje is a mess, why did he throw it all to himself?

He fell to his knees and cried: "My father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and we still hope that my father will lead us to create a foundation for all generations; The child is dull, and he is afraid that he will be entrusted by his father. Please think twice! ”

With a wave of his hand, Fuyu Zhang's hand asked the chamberlain to stuff the jade seal to Fuyu Yici and said: "I have made up my mind, and I will never change it; I don't have to say no! Retreat! With that, he led the attendants and hurried away.

Jiebo and the others looked at each other, so they had to hula and kneel on the ground, asking Fuyu Yici to inherit the unification. Fuyu Yici had no choice but to hold the jade seal and slowly walk to the throne, he was like a mourner, and he wanted to go to the guillotine in pain.

After Fuyu Yici was done, he glanced down and said, "Zhongqing, now that the enemy soldiers are coming to the city, what can you do?" Why don't we surrender in Kaesong? ”

The ministers laughed bitterly when they heard this, but they thought about surrendering before they fought; How can his ministers resist?

The general Jiebo stood up with a roar and said, "Your Majesty! Although the Great Demon Kingdom is strong, there are tens of thousands of troops in our city, and there are hundreds of thousands of people; Organized to be able to fight the enemy with a fatal blow! Why did you say something about surrender? ”

Fuyu Yici sneered: "Yes, yes! Fight still has to fight; Even if you can't win, you can increase some bargaining chips. General Jiebo served as the commander of the enemy in this battle; Everything is decided by General Jiebo; You can cut first and then play, as if I am here! ”

Although Jiebo was secretly dissatisfied with the cowardice of Fuyu Yici, he got the position of the head of the enemy, and he could cut it first and then play; It can be regarded as achieving the goal. He knelt down at His Highness and kowtowed in thanksgiving.

Jiebo went out of the palace and ordered the nine nobles in Siyu City to hand over their private soldiers; Nearly 10,000 people. Then he grabbed the strong men and got tens of thousands; With a total of nearly 100,000 troops, they practiced day and night to prepare for the coalition forces.

Zhang Shigui came to the city, and he found that the city of Sihyun was tall, almost not inferior to Pyongyang, where he was stationed, so he frowned slightly and knew that he had hit a hard nail.

"Tentative attack!" Zhang Shigui gave the order, and the crossbowmen, under the protection of the shield soldiers, slowly stepped forward and took the lead in attacking. Then the allied forces of the Great Demon Kingdom and Silla rushed up with a ladder.

Jiebo was not afraid to command the army to resist in an orderly manner. Although the coalition forces launched several charges in a row, they only threw down a piece of corpse in vain and returned in vain.

"Mingjin retreats!" Zhang Shigui saw that the strong attack could not be won, so he had to let the army retreat. The Baekje army in the city was so happy that even Buyeo Yoshiji in the palace was overjoyed and ordered people to come and reward the army with food and wine.

The next day, Jin Chunqiu and Jin Yuxin gathered in Zhang Shigui's tent; Waiting for him to assign tasks; How do you know that Zhang Shigui has no intention of continuing to attack Siyu City at all.

Zhang Shigui ordered the Silla army to challenge the city; His subordinate generals led the army to attack from all sides, occupy the surrounding towns and villages, and uproot Gusha City near Si Xian City one by one, Ancheng City, Daoxian City, Jiuzhi Xia City, and completely isolated Si Xian City.

Every day, a large number of refugees poured into Siyu City, and the Great Demon Kingdom and Silla Kingdom were allowed to enter but not leave, making a situation of trapping Sihyun City.

These refugees have not only caused overcrowding and food shortages in the city, but have also brought all kinds of rumors.

First of all, there were rumors everywhere about the army of the Great Demon Kingdom, how, how difficult it was to resist; They can all use magic and can manipulate thunder; You are invincible.

then said how tragic the situation outside was, and said that Jiebo didn't care about the life and death of the countrymen; Don't dare to go out of the city to fight.

There is also a legend that he had an army of 100,000 but did not dare to attack the 60,000 coalition troops outside; It was because he had lost the battle in Stone City; I have long been afraid of the army of the Great Demon Kingdom; The Great Demon was not afraid of him at all. Now the biggest worry of the Great Demon Kingdom is that Baekje suddenly let the general Dezhi lead the troops; Breaking their plan to besiege Sihyeon but to encroach on Baekje.

Others said that this was all nonsense, and that Jiebo's refusal to go to war was to take advantage of this opportunity to completely control the 100,000 army in his hands and prepare for self-reliance as king.

Anyway, there were a lot of rumors in Siyu City all of a sudden, which put Jiebo in a very embarrassing situation. King Yici Fuyu Yici was also skeptical about this, and he asked his henchman Daochen what he should do?

Daochen frowned, he knew that although Fuyu Yici was benevolent, he was cautious in his suspicions; Seeing that King Yici was already suspicious, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can test it and let the army attack, if he obeys the order, then all are rumors." If Jiebo is unwilling to send troops, it means that he has a different heart. ”

King Yici nodded, and asked Daochen to go and deliver the decree, ordering Jiebo to go out of the city to meet the battle, and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.

Daochen was ordered to go to the mansion of the Elder with the holy decree. Jiebo was worried about the rumors, and suddenly heard that the angel official had arrived, so he hurriedly went out to greet him.

Although he and Daochen are not close friends, they both know each other; Knowing that Daochen was loyal, he admired it very much. The two exchanged a few words and entered the living room; After Daochen finished reading the holy decree, he said to Jiebo, who was frowning: "Why don't the generals send troops to fight the enemy to break the rumors?" ”

Jiebo smiled bitterly: "My lord doesn't know, who of us said that there are 100,000 troops, but they are all strong men who were temporarily captured; It's no different from 100,000 farmers. These people are brought to the battlefield and do not play a role at all.

This great demon country is fierce, we are definitely not their opponents, and when the time comes, it will cause panic in the army, and the soldiers will have no morale, but I am afraid that Siyu City will not be able to hold it. ”

Dao Chen frowned and said, "What the general said also makes sense; Then what should we do according to the general. ”

"Defend the city! And use this as an opportunity to train the army! Let's train with war, it only takes two months, and the new Ding in our hands can adapt to the war, and then it will be the time for us to counterattack on a large scale. Don't rush it now! I also asked Lord Daochen to say a few kind words in front of Wang Jia. ”

Dao Chen nodded and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." I will convey these words to Your Majesty. The defense of Siyu City was troublesome to the general, and the subordinate resigned. ”

Jiebo sent him to the door, and the two said goodbye; He returned home.

Daochen hurriedly returned to the palace and explained to King Yici what had happened to him. Fuyu Yici listened to Daochen's report, and his brows furrowed: "So he really has different intentions?" ”

Daochen was taken aback and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that General Jiebo's words are reasonable; Our army is all new, and it is true that the combat power is not high, please think twice about Your Majesty; Give General Jiebo a little time. ”

"Smack!" King Yici slammed the table and shouted, "Give him time? Give him time to take control of the army and set himself up as king? Someone came, and sent a message to Dezhi to come to me. ”

The left and right attendants said yes and turned to go out. Dao Chen was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! Da Zhide has never had the experience of leading troops, and he asks His Majesty to think twice. ”

"You don't have to say it. He was so capable that my father often asked him for advice. I'm relieved to let him lead the troops. I've made up my mind, you don't have to say any more. ”

Dao Chen hurriedly asked, "How will Your Majesty deal with Jiebo?" Fuyu Yici said: "General Jiebo works hard for the country, and I can't bear it; Just let him get some more rest. Take care of your family! ”

Daochen knelt down and prayed: "Your Majesty, Lord Jiebo is the pillar of the country; It's a pity to be idle at home. Why don't you let him garrison Huangshan outside the city and Siyu City become horns, and you can also protect our city from failing. ”

Fuyu Yici nodded and said: "Aiqing, this is the words of the old man to seek the country!" Well, as you say; Give Jiebo 5,000 troops and let him garrison Huangshan. ”

The chamberlain passed down the order, and Dezhi was overjoyed to inquire about it, and without saying a word, he went to the top of the uncle to ask for the big seal. Jiebo took the big seal and told him thousands of instructions, asking Dezhi not to rush into the army.

Dezhi was very humble on the surface, nodding his head and saying yes, but in his heart the boss was unhappy.

"Humph! Why did Your Majesty let me replace you, isn't it because you are cowardly and dare not fight? Let's see that I won the Great Demon Kingdom; When the time comes, I will be ashamed and ashamed of you, and let everyone know who is the number one general in Baekje! ”

After De insisted on leaving, Jiebo's heart was even more bottomless, where was the long and short sigh; His wife, Chu Ying, stepped forward with a pair of children and said, "The general has been working for the country all day long, why is he alone here today?" ”

Uncle Jiechang sighed, explained King Yici's decision, and continued: "Your Majesty listened to the rumors and put me in Huangshan to garrison, my life and death are small, and the only thing I don't worry about is the three of you." ”

Chu Ying smiled: "Why is the general so heroic and short-breathed? You only have to be loyal to the country, and I will take care of you at home, and you will definitely not disgrace the general's reputation. ”

Jiebo knew that his wife was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and her temperament was strong; Hearing her say this, her eyes turned red. "A good wife has a deep affection for me, but she can't enjoy a moment of happiness with me, which really makes me ashamed."

Chu Ying smiled slightly: "The general is a man who stands up to the sky, so he naturally does big things. Ever since I married the general, I knew that sooner or later there would be this day; I've never regretted it either! Please don't think about your family, kill the enemy and serve the country! ”

When Zhang Shigui heard that Jiebo was sent to Huangshan to garrison, he laughed and said: "Fuyu Yici self-destructs the pillars, and Siyu City will soon be in my hands." With that, he gathered all his generals and prepared to fight Baekje to the death.
