The Chu army is in Pengcheng, which can be regarded as touching a little edge of the Central Plains, at this time, there will be countless problems waiting for everyone who have not encountered in the past, so it is very necessary for a small alliance to go to which way.

Before that, Yu Zhou didn't mind selling Qin Jia in exchange for the opportunity to not have to lead the troops, and the province would have one more ally to block the Chu army when the time came.

Long He was a little surprised by this, because the note didn't say so, and Ziqi didn't think like that at the beginning, so he was very grateful, and the little fat man thought that this was an exaggeration by his brother in order to make his troops harmless, as for Qin Jia or something, it was better to let him shut up forever.

There will be no good people in the world, and good people will also survive the fittest in an environment of deceit, either dying out or changing.

Chen Sheng is changing.

When he received the invitation of the Huimeng, this Zhang Chu's King Chen had just finished killing people......

Murder again? Chen Sheng didn't want to either, it was those people who didn't have the eyesight, these were all the people who were kings, and some people called him by his nickname to promote his lowly appearance when he was a helper in the past, and he couldn't stand it if he was a person, so he simply got rid of it......

"Big... The King ......"

"What?"

"Shangshu Kong Kui left a letter and resigned......"

Chen Sheng was drinking on the floor, and after hearing this, he suddenly straightened up his upper body, looking a little stunned, but he didn't rush to speak, but straightened up and thought for a while, before slowly burying his body back into the couch, as if what happened just now did not exist, and replied indifferently: "Got it, is there anything else?" ”

The waiter cautiously stepped forward, put down a bamboo slip, and then slowly stepped back, and continued: "Xiang Chu sent a letter, saying that he was going to meet in Pengcheng and asked the king to go to Yixu......"

As soon as the words fell, the waiter knew that the two extra steps he had just taken were life-saving.

Chen Sheng, who was angry, threw out the wine jar casually, smashed the pottery shards on the ground with a "snap", and said angrily: "The Xiang family still has the face to let me go to the alliance!" What did the messenger who killed me say before? What about defeating my army? Don't go, don't go, don't see them, what about their people? Drag it out and cut it! ”

The waiter was very embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "Back to the king, the messenger is not someone else, but Chen Yu, the captain of the left." ”

As soon as he walked a Zhang Er and another hole carp, Chen Sheng was blocking his heart, and when he heard that Chen Yu had returned, his face was slightly slower, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is Captain Chen?" ”

"Send a message, and go after General Wu."

Chen Sheng even threw his head into the couch this time, and did not hide his disappointment: "No wonder I heard that the king is called a lonely widow, so it is...... Let's go, let's go, let's go...... Get lost! You get out too! ”

The waiter crawled away, and Chen Sheng couldn't be at peace in his heart.

Different from his mood, this palace that had just been built was unusually calm, the wind blew silently and the water passed without a trace, and the people almost held their breath and stuck away, adding a silence, which did not look like the world.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a shout from the palace room where King Chen was alone, as if he was admonishing himself, and like he was angry with someone in the air: "The widow will not go!" I have occupied three points in the nine places of the Central Plains, and one day I will come to the door to ask for a widow, and sooner or later——! ”

……

……

Walk northeast from Pei County, there is a micro mountain after Surabaya, compared with later generations, the rippling blue waves of Weishan Lake have not yet been formed, but its predecessor Surabaya Ze has been quite large-scale.

When attacking Fengpei Second County, Liu Ji made a mistake in his busy schedule and left some mistakes, so that the county guard of Surabaya County ran away, and ran to Qi County, which is across the water, to recruit troops and prepare to fight again, where can I watch?

So Pei's army crossed the river, first to solve the county guard to eliminate the worries, and then, the soldiers sent Xue County to attack repeatedly, and finally took this fortified city.

Say that Xue County is a strong city? This is not false at all, as the former capital of the ancient Xue Kingdom, Xue County has a complete inner city, outer city, urn city and moat, under the city wall of more than three zhang, only the moat is six or seven zhang wide, which is very good.

To say that an ancient capital city should have been annihilated by time, but Xue County is different, because this place has always belonged to the Qi country where wars were relatively rare, and later Meng Weijun operated it in successive dynasties, so this city not only did not decline, but gave birth to a thriving scene, which is very rare.

Meng Yanjun, concubine surname, Tian family, Mingwen, one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, but there is one thing that is different from the other three, that is, the Pingyuan Jun and Xinling Jun are all titles, and only Tian Wen's Meng Yanjun is a nickname, so when people call him "Xue Gong" as an honorific title, it means that he was sealed in Xue Di, which is a food town.

Meng Weijun is worthy of the name of Xue Gong, when he was there, Xue County had one of the best pottery factories in the entire Qi country, as well as a metallurgical workshop that never went out to cast all kinds of ironware, which deserved to be the important city of Qi.

So much so that after Tian Wen passed away, the burial place was also here, and he also chose Xue County as his final destination, as well as Mao Sui under the Pingyuan Junmen......

Speaking of which, Liu Ji has been coveting the iron weapons in Xue County for a long time, and for the sake of the soldiers, he has to fight down even if he gives up his old life, and now that he has this city, Liu Laosan is disappointed.

"Xiahou Ying? Xiahou baby! You're going to fucking brag, that's what you said earlier about cutting gold and iron? Why did it break with a split? ”

Xiahou Ying stiffened his neck: "Ji ...... Pei Gong don't look down on people, this sword is not as sharp as the few weapons we got from the Jiangdong people, but it is much sharper than what is hidden in the Qin people's treasury! ”

"What's the use of sharpness! Yes? I want a weapon that can cut people and will not be easily cut by the enemy, and now that is it, it is not a joke with the lives of the brothers! ”

Seeing this, Zhou Bo hurriedly rounded the field: "Pei Gong, Xiahou Ying has seen a lot of knowledge in the south and north, and he said that Xue County's blades are sharp and usable, so there will be no fake." ”

"Yes, Pei Gong, everyone is a brother, what's the benefit of me lying to you!"

Liu Ji held a broken sword, his eyes turned back and forth several times, and he said unwillingly: "No, such a blade is not enough, I have to take responsibility for the trust and life of the brothers!" ”

Xiahou Ying was puzzled: "Pei Gong, this blade can't be compared with the Jiangdong people, but it is not the same as the Qin people, it's already okay, right?" ”

Liu Ji glanced at him angrily: "You know a fart, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, why are Jiangdong people invincible with divine weapons, so we have to fight hard with our lives?"

Look at the corpses of the brothers outside Xue County, are you two heart-warming? Yes!? ”

At this time, Zhou Chang and his brother, who stammered and were sincere, spoke: "Pei Gong, this is nothing, right?" Everyone is suffering from the life of haha, what is the use of it.

As long as we can fight past the Qin army, what are we doing compared with the Jiangdong people? The people of Koto are not enemies. ”

Liu Ji's eyes flashed with light, and he raised his head and snorted: "I didn't say that I have to compare with the Jiangdong people, but the sharp weapon in my hand can make everyone suffer fewer casualties, I want the villagers to go home alive, there's nothing wrong with it?!" ”

"Pei Gong is benevolent!"

"Pei Gong is benevolent!!"

With the shouts of three and three, the people in Pei Jun all bowed to Liu Ji, and while they were talking, someone had already begun to come up with ideas: "Pei Gong, why don't we contact Fan Hao and ask him to help ask the Jiangdong people if their weapons are sold, this is always okay, right?" ”

"Yes, we have both territory and people now, just buy some weapons with them!"

Liu Ji sighed: "How can there be so much money and food, do you think that my Pei Gong is easy to do?" How many mouths are counting on Lao Tzu to eat, there are always homeless people in Xiayi, I can't wait to cook myself and feed them......"

"Hey......

"Haha......"

In the midst of a smirk, these guys were not only amused by Liu Ji's words, but also respected him even more, and they all spoke to comfort him.

"Don't worry about Pei Gong, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed......"

"That is, although King Chen is powerful, he is really not as good as Pei Gong to the people, and we all wish that only Pei Gong will be the first."

There is a boast and a praising is enjoying it, God can't stand it anymore, a knight on the horse, without even breathing, began to report: "Pei...... Pei Gong, the big thing is not good, Chen will be the Zhou City Raider, and Lu Zhi has already opened the city and surrendered ......"

Liu Ji's eyes widened suddenly: "What? Why did King Chen's subordinates suddenly violate the border? Didn't you have an agreement with him before? ”

The herald knight had time to catch his breath and continued, "Subordinate...... I don't know! I heard that the general of Zhou City passed through Wei under the order of King Chen, and when the soldiers came to the city, Chen Jun said that Fang and Hefeng County were both the places where the former Liang King and Sun were fake disciples, and they should be counted as Wei land......"

Liu Ji didn't care about anything else, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Fengyi, Fengyi...... Fengpei is not separated, and he still wants to beat my Fengyi?! ”

"Chen Jun had already set off when he was subordinate, and now he ...... I'm afraid it's already under siege......"

Liu Ji immediately made a decision: "Return to the army!" Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo, and who else led the brothers back to support! Fengyi can't be lost! ”

"Chen Shi and Zhou City are too deceitful, Fengyi can't be lost!"

"Phew, what King Chen, the tyrannical Qin hasn't broken his muscles and bones, he has begun to overwhelm people with his power, Lao Tzu is not afraid!"

"Yes, I'm not afraid!"

came out to fight Xue County, Lao Wo was almost served, Liu Ji and the Pei people under his command were not to mention how annoyed, and in the midst of the anger, they rolled up the money and grain of Xue County's soldiers, and with the eyes that were piled up with anger, they suddenly had a bit of a fierce appearance.

Those who ride horses, those who walk, those who carry halberds, those who wield swords...... The group of people floated out of Xue County like smoke and dust under their feet, and rushed back in the direction they came.

"Who, Cao Wuxian! I will lead the brothers back to help, you and Jia Ping have defended Xue County, and when everyone repels the enemy army, I will give you a great credit! ”

Cao Wuxian was about to object, Liu Ji continued: "Listen, this matter is more important than anything else, don't always worry about killing people and fighting for merit, if Lao Tzu loses, do you expect to turn over from Xue Di again, understand?" ”

Having said this, Cao Wuxian had no objections, but this person was a little clever, glanced at the distance and asked: "Pei Gong, Jia Ping is the county supervisor of Surabaya, how can the new person believe it?" I'm afraid that my prestige will not be as good as his, and I will have the trust of my ......."

Liu Ji thought for a while with a calm face after listening, and then looked around, there was really no one available, so he had to call a guard: "Zhou Yan, you also stay, listen to Cao Wuxian's opportunistic action!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Pei Gong rest assured!"

After settling here, Liu Ji got on an old chariot and set off with Peijun, walking on the road, he felt that he was in a hurry, and it was really hard to imagine what would happen if he lost Fengyi.

Carefully calculated, Zhongyangli, where Liu Ji's family lives, should belong to Feng County, but he is more familiar with Pei County, and these two counties have always been close to each other before they are regarded as one place.

Now that Zhou City is using soldiers in Fengyi, it is simply handing a knife to Liu Ji's heart!

The more anxious he became, the more anxious he became, the more he urged the horse to pull the cart faster, and when he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, the cart fell apart first.

With a click, one of the wheels left the unsustainable chariot and ran away alone, and the whole chariot suddenly toppled over, and the two horses were still stupidly dragging forward.

It was also Liu Ji's good fate, he happened to encounter a piece of grass, and when the car just lost its balance, he was thrown out fiercely, and rolled twice in embarrassment, but he was still able to stand up on his own.

"Pei Gong, are you okay?"

"Pei Gong, could it be that this is a bad omen, God warns me that I can't wait to return to the army?!"

The first half of the sentence sounded quite hot, but after listening to the latter sentence, Liu Ji couldn't care about his sour nose, and scolded with his head and face: "Bastard, I am the son of the Red Emperor and I have God's blessing, where did I come from?" If you bewitch the military again, Lao Tzu will deal with your military law! ”

The guy who said the wrong thing shrank his head and didn't dare to open his mouth, wondering which one was bigger, the Red Emperor or the sky, and why Brother Ji had never admitted the rumors before, but now he called himself the son of the Red Emperor......

Liu Ji didn't know what others thought, but this fall gave him a little idea.

Lu Pheasant and Mrs. Liu both have their care to take care of it, even if Fengyi is broken, it should be fine, think about who are the people who stay in Fengpei? Cao Shen, who has been in prison for a long time, is quite strategic, Xi Juan, Li Shang, and Xue Ou are very brave and can be described as good generals for a while, Lu Juan ...... Well, don't mention it.

If that person can also help defend the city, Fengyi can at least hold out until he goes back......

Who is the person who makes Liu Ji so worried? It is the abundant Hao Wang Ling, when it comes to the word Hao Family, the blood is coming, Wang Ling is very upright, but he just can't look down on Liu Ji, who is idle, even if the latter follows people's butts every day and screams "brother", he just looks down on you, who makes you not good!

But on the other hand, Wang Ling has a good relationship with Yongya, who is also from a wealthy family, even if Yongya's personality is far from him, the two are still good like something.

Then the tangled one came, Wang Ling had a good relationship with Yongya, but he did not go along with it; Liu Jishi Wang Ling is like a brother, but he can't get Wang Ling's good face; Yongya took advantage of this relationship to stab Liu Ji's heart every time, but Liu Ji could only choose to forgive him......

What none of them knew was that if Yongya hadn't died in Yu Zhou's calculations, Fengyi would have been sold this time......

In any case, it is true that Wang Ling has the ability to gather the countryside to defend the city, and it is also true that Liu Ji has infinite trust in him, so at this time of crisis, the first person Liu Ji thought of was Wang Ling.

"Here comes the car! Hurry up, hurry up and go back to Fengyi! ”

Liu Ji felt that he was all right, and began to look for the carriage with his throat, when a fast horse came in the opposite direction.

"Pei Gong! Pei Gong! The Chu army sent an envoy to let you go to the alliance......"

"What kind of alliance will it be, Lao Tzu's family will be ...... Hey? Where is General Xiang's messenger? Let me change my clothes and see you again. ”

Li Shiqi came, the old man in his fifties ran with a red face, and his beard was unkempt and sticking to his face: "Pei Gong, it's me, it's the old man......"

"What about the envoy of the Chu army?"

"Fengpei has police, they sent the old man back and left, I also know about the alliance, Pei Gong is okay to ask."

Since there are no outsiders, Liu Ji doesn't have to care about the image, his shoulders collapsed, and he asked very bluntly: "Can General Xiang send some men to force me to retreat from Zhou City, and return me to abundance and peace?" ”

As soon as Li Shiqi finished speaking, he was choked up when he asked, and his breath that had not yet been breathed was even more chaotic: "Cough, cough...... Is this a ...... old man said?"

Liu Ji didn't expect the old man to agree, and said to himself: "It seems that I have to go back quickly and contact Chu Jun again......"

Re-mounted on the chariot, Liu Ji continued to drive with the army, and along the way, he shared a chariot with Li Shiqi to inquire in detail about the details of the envoy to the Chu army, and sent countless guys who could ride horses back and forth.

The smoke and dust were still flying under the scorching sun, and the people and horses were still in such a hurry, and Liu Ji was riding in a chariot that suddenly laughed from time to time, less anxious and more stable, which made the people around him more infected, and they were much more relieved while moving forward quickly.

"Pei Gong must have a way, worthy of Pei Gong!"
