Chapter 233: Breaking the Ground and Conquering (2)

Maybe Ji Chong is not ready to start the war again, or maybe in his heart, Ying Guang and the others are just a small fight, and they will definitely not become a big thing, so the blow expected by Ying Guang did not come as scheduled, and Ji Chong, who was far away in Puyang, seemed to swallow this evil breath and died down silently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But sometimes, the calmer it is, the greater the danger inside, and those crocodiles that float on the surface of the water are not scary, only the crocodiles hiding under the seemingly safe surface of the water are the most dangerous, because you don't know where those cold eyes are hiding. Therefore, while Yingguang is vigorously expanding the military war, the Shadow Belongs has also increased its infiltration into Puyang, hoping to find out Ji Chong's true thoughts from those clues.

After the rainstorm, the air is condensed with a large amount of water vapor, the breeze supports, the cool feeling makes the people walking very comfortable, but unfortunately the good times do not last long, when the hot sun is powerful again, the condensed water vapor quickly warms up, so that the whole land seems to be shrouded in a steamer!

Lü Buwei sat anxiously in the car, the constantly shaking pu fan did not soothe the irritability in his heart at all, and the hot air kept forcing out the water in his body, and soon made the fine silk clothes like washing.

"Old Uncle Lu, how far is it from Qingyun County?"

It seemed that he couldn't stand the heat in his heart anymore, Lu Buwei asked a little impatiently while fanning the fan hard.

Old Uncle Lu built a pergola with his hands, raised his head to discern the direction, and then replied: "There is still a half-day trip, and I will definitely be able to reach Qingyun County before dark." No, don't worry, isn't your eldest brother Ying already gathering troops, now Ao Lie, Fan Li and others have already moved towards Qingyun County, and Guiling County is left with Gongsun Ze, a civil official, what does this mean? This shows that he has officially broken with the Wei royal family, and all that remains is a battle of life and death. ”

"But a while ago, didn't I hear that Puyang sent an envoy to ask the two parties to sit down and negotiate. Do you say that Brother Ying can take this opportunity to bring my Lu clan back! ”

Old Uncle Lu hesitated for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "Ji Chong, this person has worked hard to seize the royal power, he will not tolerate the division of most of the country, I am worried that the peace talks are just a cover to delay time, and when he is ready to mature, he will immediately turn his face." So if you want to negotiate to return to the patriarch, I'm afraid that there is not much hope. ”

Lu Buwei leaned on the carriage with some disappointment, as smart as him, how could he not think of this possibility, but subconsciously did not want to let himself believe it, and now that the words came out of the mouth of the old Uncle Lu, it annihilated the last hope, and Lu Buwei felt as if he had lost something in his heart, and he was uncomfortable empty.

"If Ji Chong dares to touch my Lu clan in the slightest! I, Lu Buwei, will destroy him all over the door! A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and Lu Buwei closed his eyes heavily and stopped talking.

Ji Zhong sent a total of three waves of messengers, although the situation of each wave of messengers is different, but the results are the same, the envoys of Shuyang County are the luckiest, they received the best hospitality as soon as they arrived in Shuyang, eating, drinking and having fun, Shuyang officials are all satisfied with their requirements, but there is only one exception, that is, to meet the county guard, Zhang Shouxin suddenly had many disasters in these days, either accidental wind and cold, or spleen and stomach discomfort, the most excessive actually went out to break his feet, for those messengers from Puyang, I am a good food and drink hospitality, It's just that I don't meet with you, so that those messengers have nowhere to go, and I can't find anything wrong with it.

The most unfortunate is the envoy sent to the county, the county has just experienced the baptism of war, the local people are very dissatisfied with Puyang, thinking that they started the war for no reason, causing the people to suffer, so the messengers along the way not only have no place to supply, but even harassment by the people along the way. Finally rushed to the city of Yanjun and wanted to enter the city, the county guard Tai Shiheng just leaned on the wall and took a look, then asked the soldiers to go down and surrender the arms of the escort guards, and then dropped three words: "Talk about a fart!" The angry messenger suffered a stroke on the spot, and the group retreated in a gloomy manner.

The only normal point is the wave of people who go to Qingyun County, on the one hand, Yingguang talks to you with a smile, asks for a price to pay back, and on the other hand, he boldly gathers soldiers. Looking at the troops in Qingyun County that were increasing every day, the envoy's eyes twitched vigorously, for fear that one day Ying Guang would suddenly turn his face and detain all his group. In the midst of such anxiety, Lü Buwei's master and servant finally arrived in Qingyun County.

It seemed that he felt that what he had done was useless, and it seemed that he had received some news, and the envoys of the three counties suddenly left and returned to Puyang one after another, and even the honor guard fell in the post house in such a hurry. On the one hand, he stepped up the improvement of the city defense, and on the other hand, he expanded the scope of scout patrols, and the tense atmosphere enveloped the entire county town, which made Lü Buwei, who had just settled down, even more uneasy, and there was always an ominous feeling in his heart.

On the third day of the envoy's retreat, the shadow of Puyang sent accurate information, Ji Zhong took up the troops of the three counties, plus the Puyang city guards, and the internal army, a total of nearly 100,000 people were gathered, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, roaring!

The left army was led by the general Le Yi, with 20,000 horse infantry troops, besieging the county; The right army was led by the general Le Feng, with 20,000 horse infantry troops, besieging Shuyang County. These two roads are only besieged and not attacked, the purpose is to cut off the support of the two counties to Qingyun County, and the middle army of 60,000, with the general Le Yang as the main general, carrying countless siege equipment, straight to Qingyun County, in terms of terrain, Qingyun County is just the node that links the county and Shuyang County, as long as Qingyun County is captured, you can separate the county from Shuyang County, when the time comes, the soldiers will be divided into two roads, all the way to take the county, all the way to take Guiling County, and finally encircle Shuyang County, at that time Shuyang County was cut off from reinforcements, and can only be trapped, When the time comes, whether it is kneaded or pinched is not Ji Chong's final say.

And before the army started, Ji Zhong did one more thing, that is, a series of crimes were listed, and the backbone of Gongzi Ji's family was put on public trial, and Lu Xiong also paid the price for his last failed investment - the Lu clan bewitched Gongzi Ji to rebel, the crime was unforgivable, the clan's descendants were punished, all property was confiscated, and the rest of the side branches were sent to the army as a daredevil's army.

Lu Buwei, who was still in the dark, suddenly became sleepy, and in a daze, he seemed to have suddenly returned to the ancestral temple in Puyang, and walked forward, only to see the smoke in the ancestral hall surrounded by human figures, and he couldn't see clearly, and the head of the person raised his hand over his shoulder, and countless people seemed to be worshipping something.
