Outside the original Xiangcheng of Jiaozhi State, the dense Dali army climbed the city wall. Countless arrows, rolling logs, and gravel slanted down. However, the original Xiangcheng defenders, compared to the Dali army, are too few.

Not long after, a soldier named Dali climbed the city wall. Immediately afterwards, the two armies fought a bloody battle on the city wall.

There was a loud bang, and the gates were slammed open. Immediately afterwards, the Dali army poured into it like a tide.

At this time, in the rear of the Dali army, there was the sound of Mingjin. The army that had just poured into the original Xiangcheng quickly retreated to its own position.

Dali army camp, inside the tent.

Zhou Bo sat on the main seat, looking at Liu Sheng and Jia Fu, just when he wanted to say something.

Fu Yi ran angrily, forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and saluted respectfully: "The prime minister just now obviously can, take the original Xiangcheng, but why did you order the troops to be withdrawn."

"The prime minister has just crossed the Xianghe River in my department, why did he let us return to the army." Shangguan Yixiu ran in from outside the tent, and his tone was faint, and he could feel the charm of annoyance.

Zhou Bo was not in a hurry to answer, waited for a while, felt that their emotions had stabilized, and then smiled: "The current situation is so similar to back then, it's just that the offense and defense are different."

"They came to the capital of our country for a long time, and almost destroyed our country. Now attacking and defending in a different position, our army is at the front, and it is only more than 100 miles away from the capital of Jiaozhi Wang. It was a time of shame, but why did you stop moving forward when you came to this Xianghe, isn't it a missed opportunity." Shangguan Yixiu was annoyed for a while, and for more than 20 days, he crossed the river every day. But every time he crossed the river, Zhou Bo would give an order to withdraw his troops immediately. The officers and men of the whole army have long been resentful.

Fu Yi took Shangguan Yixiu's words and continued to ask: "Prime Minister, you asked my ministry to storm the original Xiangcheng every day for more than 20 days. But every time, when it is about to be captured, why is it that the troops are ordered to be withdrawn."

"Do you remember how we defeated the country of Cochin?" Zhou Bo didn't answer, but turned to the two and asked about the things of the year.

Shangguan Yixiu was slightly stunned, unable to understand why Zhou Bo asked this question at this time: "That's because back then, my country was suffering from internal and external troubles. It has arrived, and it is about to be broken. The prime minister has a saying, and things must be reversed. So in person, with the eldest princess and His Majesty, in the barracks, Chen talked about the benefits. It is to live and die with the capital. All the soldiers are determined to die, go out of the city to fight a decisive battle, win three battles and three victories, and turn defeat into victory."

"There is a saying that mourning soldiers will win, and it is indeed a golden and jade good word. When a soldier is facing and must die, the combat effectiveness that erupts is chilling." Fu Yi thought of the station under the national capital, and with absolute weakness, he actually defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop, which made people have to sigh.

Zhou Bo smiled, looked ahead, and fell into deep thought: "The current situation, Jiaozhi is just like us at the beginning. If we take the original Xiangcheng, cross the Xianghe River, and break through the capital of Jiaozhi, what will happen after that."

"Nature is ......". Fu Yi was dumbfounded, thinking of what happened next, he couldn't help but gasp. At the beginning, the descendants of the Dali royal family left only Duan Zhaorong's sister and brother. If they die in battle, Dali will fall apart in an instant. But Cochin, however, is different.

Liu Sheng listened on the sidelines, and when he saw the silence in the tent, he couldn't help but interject: "Jiaozhi Wangdu, if it is breached." If you catch the King of Cochin, maybe the situation will be a little better. But if he can't be caught, or he will simply die in battle. When the time comes, the Cochin royal family will naturally give birth to a new Cochin King. The country of Jiaozhi will definitely be ashamed of this. We got here, after all, by a fluke. Only by taking advantage of their defenselessness and internal emptiness can they have the results they have today. When Jiaozhi relieved himself, the 200,000 army returned to help. In addition to the various places, the defenders who had retreated together into an army of 250,000 were not a problem. Then we will have to deal with an army of 250,000 with great hatred. and the unfriendly people of the enemy country, it may be difficult to win."

"I see, it seems that he is the last general and has misunderstood the prime minister. It's just that we are here and don't break through the capital of Jiaozhi, so what about us, we will be ashamed." Fu Yi and Shangguan Yixiu glanced at each other, and the two of them saluted Zhou Bo at the same time to atone for their sins.

Zhou Bo turned around, looked at the map, and smiled meaningfully: "Purpose? The nature of the image allows you to storm on, but it is about to be withdrawn when you succeed. The reason for this is to give them a glimmer of hope. With the original Xiangcheng and the coercion of the King of Jiaozhi as bargaining chips, they forced their Northern Expedition army to return in a hurry. And then managed, in one fell swoop, to eat their two hundred thousand elites. Use their blood to wash away the shame of the past."

"There were originally 30,000 defenders in Xiangcheng, but now except for the sick and disabled, there will be no more than 10,000 soldiers who can fight. The capital of Jiaozhi has 20,000 defenders. With the addition of 200,000 troops from the Northern Expedition, a total of 230,000 troops. With our 150,000, we will eat 230,000, but I'm afraid it will be difficult." Shangguan Yixiu listened to Zhou Bo's words, and after some analysis, he was slightly worried. Isn't it worth taking such a risk?

Fu Yi thought of the situation of three battles and three victories back then, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily: "It is a pleasure to follow the prime minister to fight, what is it to eat 230,000 with 150,000." Back then, we only had 50,000, and it wasn't the same as killing the country of Jiaozhi."

"It's different from the beginning, it's better to be cautious." Shangguan Yixiu looked at Fu Yi and admonished.

Zhou Bo turned around, looked at Shangguan Yixiu with a smile on his face: "Actually, if you think about it, there is no such thing in this world that is not difficult. Since it's all difficult, why don't we try it? “。

"Since the prime minister's mind has been decided, then the official will receive the order." Shangguan Yixiu knew that it was pointless to continue, so he immediately bowed. Maybe it's yourself, and you're used to being cautious. With the talent of the prime minister, since he can say this. must be in my heart, I have already had a comprehensive plan. Purely themselves, one more than that.

"Report ...... The Prime Minister of Qiqi, the Northern Expedition of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, has returned to the capital of the Jiaozhi Kingdom". A soldier quickly ran into the tent and reported the military situation to Zhou Boyu.

Zhou Bo turned to the map, then turned around again, and ordered the two of them: "Fu Yi, Ben Xiang ordered you, lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and surround the Yuan Xiang Tuan for me, remember that from now on, only surround and not fight." Shangguan Yixiu and Benxiang ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to set up a camp in the Xianghe River and arrange a defensive line. Don't let Jiaozhi easily cross the river."

"Prime Minister, shouldn't we immediately capture Yuanxiang, cross the Xiang River, and fight a decisive battle with Jiaozhi right now?" Fu Yi just wanted to receive the order, but then reacted, something was wrong.

Shangguan Yixiu also looked puzzled and looked at Zhou Bo: "The prime minister is now keeping the original Xiangcheng, isn't he leaving a nail in his abdomen."

"It's this nail that they want, and they have illusions. Don't hesitate, take the order quickly, and go to the arrangement." Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two, Zhou Bo explained slightly. Then he urged them to go and set up defenses.

Shangguan Yixiu and Fu Yi thought of the Jiaozhi royal capital more than 100 miles away, and they didn't ask, and bowed together: "The last general will take the order."

Zhou Bo nodded, looked at the two of them, and walked out of the Hu tent together with the soldiers who reported the news, and fell into deep thought.
