In the temple, the bronze lamps and candles are all lit to illuminate the long case in the center of the hall.

Feng Rin, who was familiar with geography, looked at the somewhat vague map on the case that was taken out of the local treasury and carefully identified, and then pointed to a dot on it with his index finger and said: "Brigade Marshal, please look, Zhenyi is here, the location of the north of Pushui." ”

Xing Ao, who was waiting beside him, hurriedly put the simple soldier figurines carved from wood on it, and the word "Zhao" was written on it in ink.

Feng Rin's hand pointed to the west: "To the west of Zhenyi, more than 120 miles from the capital Puyang is the land of Pubei, where the cities of the country are densely packed. ”

"The situation in the east and north of Zhendi is complicated, a hundred miles away in the north direction is the Qinyi of the Lu State, fifty miles to the northeast is the Liqiu of the Wu clan of the Dafu of the Qi State, and dozens of miles to the east, there is the Gaoyu and the city of the Lu State, and the Dayozawa within a radius of hundreds of miles."

Xing Ao also put the wooden figurines representing the various ** forces on it one by one, so that the originally vague and abstract map became much clearer, and the forces of "Lu", "Wei" and "Qi" were intricately intertwined within a radius of 100 miles.

The vision of the pawn commanders is only limited to how to lead the troops to fight, and the analysis in the face of this situation is not a strong point, and they can't even talk, so it is still a one-man show between Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan, and they just follow along to see each other.

Zhang Mengtan pondered and analyzed: "In short, the vicinity of Zhenyi is a place where the forces of Cao, Wei, Qi, and Lu intersect, rivers and rivers are all over the place, and there are also big thieves in Dayozawa. The reason why we chose to attack this place is that in addition to its location on the main transportation route, the relationship with these four countries is complicated, and it can attack and defend the country, retreat into the Cao country, Lu country, and guard against the Qi country. ”

"Although there are many Weiyi in the west, there are no less than 5,000 soldiers, but they are almost all allocated because of the rush to Puyang, and the remaining guards do not dare to move because the Jin army may advance eastward at any time, and they have not even sent troops to test these days. There is no threat for the time being. ”

"The state of Lu is now an ally with the state of Jin, and although Qinyi is isolated in the land of Qi, it is the most tenacious place in the two hundred years of Qilu warfare, so the north can also be relieved for the time being. Now we have to focus on defense. But it was the hill to the east, and they had sent a light car to investigate it a few days ago......"

Zhao Wuxian spread out the latest silk book sent by Zhao Ying a few days ago:

"The current situation is that in order to punish the Wei Guo for betraying the alliance, the Jin State besieged Puyang City, but besieged it but did not attack it. Waiting for the marquis to ask for peace, the army is more than 10,000, covering the sky and the sun, not to stop when you say stop, but to leave, my father will take five days to come. The State of Qi wanted to support the defense of the country, but did not dare to engage the Jin army head-on, so they simply attacked the State of Lu, on the grounds that in the spring and summer of April this year, the State of Lu attacked Qi twice for the Jin, but in fact, it was to besiege Lu and save the defense. I want to lure the Jin army to the east in order to relieve the siege of Puyang. ”

He muttered: "According to the news, the Qi State mobilized an army of people, with 500 chariots, 3,000 soldiers, and 10,000 soldiers. Led by the two ministers Guoxia and Gao Zhang, in the area of Gaoyu and Yuncheng besieging the western disadvantage of Lu State, it is only a hundred miles away from here, and if it turns westward, it will be able to reach Zhenyi in less than three days......"

Speaking of which. Zhao Wuxian spread his hands helplessly and said: "If this is the case, we have no other way but to give up this place and avoid it to the west or south." ”

After hearing this. The chiefs let out a sigh of regret, it feels good to have a "city of your own" these days, although the patriots in the streets look at them with fear and unkindness.

If it was changed to the lower palace, Zhao Wuxian would face the siege of 10,000 people, and he would have the confidence to fight, and there would be a possibility of success in mobilizing the people to resist. But now it's in the realm of defense. Are they considered invaders, and they want the secretly disgruntled patriots to cooperate with the resistance to the Qi army? This is undoubtedly a fool's dream, Zhao Wuxian doesn't even feel safe letting them hold weapons, maybe he will turn against himself when the time comes.

"Now, we can only see who arrives here first...... Jin army or Qi army" Zhao Wuxian was a little distressed, if the duck in his hand flew, he would have to regret and be sad for a long time.

Zhao Wuxian was so anxious that the corners of his lips blistered in the past two days, there is a saying in later generations called wealth and danger, although the plan he talked about with Zhang Meng was risky, but so far it has been quite smooth, but the defense is tenacious beyond imagination, and the attack of the Qi army is too good at picking time.

Now that there are more than 10,000 enemies eyeing each other hundreds of miles away, and more than 10,000 friendly troops are also delaying the arrival of a hundred miles away, Zhen Yi seems to have become the center eye of the storm, and he has spent the eighth day calmly.

But on the ninth day, Yu Xi, who was patrolling in the east of Yi, came with bad news, in the direction of Xiaqiu, sure enough, a Qi army was moving towards this side, and it was now thirty miles away

……

"How many!?" After hearing the news, Zhao Wuxian's eyes widened and asked the panting Yu Xi, who had just rushed back from thirty miles away all night, and he hadn't even had time to take a sip of water.

Yu Xi was already quite experienced in estimating the number of enemies, so he said in a dry voice: "Judging from the flags, smoke and dust, and the length of the team, it is only a little more than a thousand, and the people of two or three brigades, they are stationed in Qingshan, thirty miles away, tonight, and they will be able to arrive in Zhenyi tomorrow afternoon!" ”

Qingshan, thirty miles east of Zhenyi, its mountains are many forests, looking at a verdant in the distance, there is a small yi built on Gangfu, the population is hundreds, the soldiers are dozens, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They rejected the people sent by the Zhen clan to persuade them to surrender, and still carried the banner of defending the country.

Zhao Wuxian had sent Tian Ben and others to observe and probe it, but the dangerous terrain and the exquisite terrain of Xiaoyi made it impossible for the sneak attackers to take advantage of it, and it would take at least three or four hundred people to storm it for a day to take it. Of course, Zhao Wuxian couldn't throw so many people there with confidence, so he could only choose to give up, and at this time, it happened to be the forefront of Qi Shi's march into Zhenyi.

"Just more than 1,000 people, there is no follow-up Qi army?"

"The subordinate has sent a number of horsemen to risk death for more than ten miles to look, and even approached the outside of Liqiu City, and at this time, he also left people in Qingshan to monitor all night, and no follow-up army was found!"

"What is the composition of the troops, and how many tanks are there?"

"There are only about ten chariots, the rest are mostly pawns, there is less than a brigade of armorers, the queue is quite neat, and the remaining more than a thousand are scattered apprentices, pushing and grabbing siege equipment, there are rushing carts and ladders."

Zhao Wuxian stopped talking, he held the case with both hands, looked down at the short distance from Qingshan to Zhen on the map, and was silent.

Su Shouyu, Wu Jing and the other pawns arched their hands and asked: "Gentleman, are we guarding the city?" ”

"The people's hearts are not aligned, the army and the people are not close, internal and external communication, and they can rebel at any time, this so-called dangerous city. If you defend a dangerous city, you will fall, not to mention that the other party still has a lot of siege equipment, so it is better to abandon it. Zhang Mengtan paced to Zhao Wuxian's side and whispered.

It is different from the Chengxiang offensive and defensive battle a year ago. It was against the enemy on his own territory, but this time it was both inside and outside, and if he was not careful, thousands of guards in the city would help the Qi army outside the city to flank the soldiers!

"The brigade commander and Zhang Zi planned for several months, and trekked hundreds of miles to this place. Several soldiers died because of this, and it would be a pity to give up just like that! Tian Ben stomped his feet regretfully, he and Feng Rin were the first contributors to breaking this city, so they were naturally a little reluctant.

Although Mu Xia, Wu Jing and the others respected Zhang Mengtan, they also had similar thoughts, and they arched their hands and said: "As long as the brigade commander gives the order, the subordinates and others are willing to defend this place." ”

Tian Ben also gritted his teeth and said: "If the brigade commander feels that the guards and the Zhen clan soldiers are restless, the subordinates will immediately go to slaughter the brigade commander!" Afterwards, you can condemn the subordinates, and kill me in the city to make the people angry! ”

I heard that Tian Ben wanted to kill hundreds of people. Feng Rin's face was pale, and Zhang Mengtan shook his head: "Why is this so?" Why? ”

He is the mastermind of the plan to go north to seize the city, and he has just reaped the sweet fruit, but he has to leave it to others in the blink of an eye, how can he feel good in his heart? But in order to preserve the strength of this exile organization, it has to avoid the enemy.

Coincidentally, everyone's eyes were on Zhao Wuxian, who had just listened to everyone's various opinions, but did not express his own opinion, because he was the ultimate decision-maker. Once it's settled, there's no easier way. Wuxian's teeth clenched his lower lip, his hands were bruised, and he suddenly slammed into the place east of Zhenyi.

"We don't defend the city!"

Tian Ben, Mucha and others were slightly disappointed on their faces, and Zhang Meng talked. Feng Rin and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"But don't abandon the city either!"

Shirtless stared at the crowd, sweeping over their different expressions.

"It's better to go out of the city and fight!"

……

After the three hundred clan soldiers were dragged to the newly built camp outside the city to serve as laborers, Zhen's Li Lu seemed to be a lot more deserted, and that night, Zhen Zhongxun, who had a gloomy face, and the clan elders were holding a public meeting.

An elder in his fifties blew his beard and glared at the case and shouted, "We have been fooled! In the past few days, although there has been a steady stream of Jin troops. However, the barracks did not increase, and at first I thought it was sent to the surrounding villages, but in fact it was not. And the disciples also inquired clearly, the brigade commander who attacked the city this time was Zhao Wuxian, not a gentleman of Wen County! ”

Everyone was shocked: "Because he killed the grandson of the Fan family, the concubine of the Zhao family who was exiled by the Wuqing United, went to Zhao Wuxian of the Song Kingdom?" ”

Porcelain is also popular in the country, and they are proud to own one, so they know the name of this son.

The old man said, "Yes! He is still an exiled gentleman, but he just dragged the patchwork soldiers to sneak into the defense of the country, and he was lucky to break Zhen Yi, where is the striker, the Jin army is still in Puyang, a hundred miles away, obviously deceiving us! ”

Someone suddenly thought: "The number of enemy troops is only six or seven hundred, if you mobilize the people of the clan and contact the neighboring guards, you may be able to expel them!" ”

As the main person who negotiated with Zhao Wuxian's forces, Zhen Jin's father was also able to attend the meeting, and he said sneeringly: "Uncles, and listen to the kid's words, dozens of them can break through the gate and rush in, and now that the number of people is ten times more, how can it be so easy to drive out?" What's more, the other generation has already collected the treasury, and now everyone is wearing armor, the sword is sharp, the bow is strong, and our clan soldiers have been evacuated, if they resist, wouldn't it be a sheep to fight a tiger, and they are killing themselves! It's better to do a good job for him, after all, these days, the clan's property has indeed not been violated. ”

The old men were so angry that they pointed at Zhen Jin's father's nose and scolded him for being a traitor.

"Those Jin people, what benefits did that Feng Rin give you!"

"That day, the other generation mixed into the city, and you deliberately put it in!"

In the midst of the noise, it was the patriarch Zhen Zhongxun who made the decision.

"Enough! Listen to me! ”

Everyone was silent.

"According to the reliable information passed to me by a small official in the city, it seems that the Qi State is attacking the western part of the Lu State, and it is only a hundred miles away from Zhen Di, and the Jin people have been shocked three times in one night. If we send people to travel all night, we can go to Liqiu in a day and a half, and go to the Qi army camp besieging Yuncheng in two and a half days to ask for help from the Qi people......"

Zhen Zhongxun knew that in the case of Puyang being besieged, the guards west of Zhen Di had no courage or way to come over, but they were the Qi people who conquered the Lu State, so they could give it a try, after all, Zhenyi was the center of the noon road to the west to rescue Puyang.

Just as they were whispering about how to send people out of the city, the door of the big house was slammed open!

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they saw that a group of soldiers in armor and swords had blocked the door, and one of them, a vicious man with a short bun and a collapsed nose, glanced at them, and grinned: "What a coincidence, the patriarch and elders of the Zhen clan are all here, so there is no need to go door to door to look for them!" (To be continued.) )
