Chapter 144: The Covenant of Pengcheng

"Give the order to rest. This Pei County can't attack recklessly! Knowing the defeat of the county guard last time, Fu Jie said cautiously. This siege of Pei County is just to solve the predicament of the four counties, as for whether it can be captured, there is no need to rush for a while.

"I will follow the words of the county order." Several others chimed in.

So, the Qin army began to set up camp. On the tower of Peixian County, facing more than 4,000 allied troops approaching the city, Liu Yuan did not panic at all. Seeing these Qin troops resting, Liu Yuan only ordered Lu Shizhi to be vigilant, and did not send troops to harass him. The people in Peixian County, especially the displaced people, have also found new houses in the city and have settled down. The arrival of the coalition army made these well-fed homeless people angry, so the homeless people also took the initiative to ask for their lives, wanting to help the Pei army defend.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the displaced people, Liu Yuan understood in his heart that this was a spontaneous feeling to defend his homeland, and it was also enough to show that the foreign refugees were completely integrated into Pei County. Liu Yuan did not dampen this enthusiasm, and he ordered the displaced people to assist Pei Jun in carrying the Rolling Stone Giant Tree.

Fu Jie's coalition army finally arrived in Pei County, and the people who paid the most attention to this battle were Chen Tong, the county guard of Xiang County, and the county commander of Pengcheng. Chen Tong can be said to be ecstatic these days, Fu Jie and Liu Yuan are fighting, and he is waiting for the opportunity to wait and see with a prayer of defeat. And the nearest Pengcheng, because the four counties such as Lu County are all arched around Pengcheng, the county commander is also worried that after the defeat of the four counties, he will be isolated and caught in the middle by Liu Yuan.

However, there is no news of Cao Shen and Lu Ze so far, and this Pengcheng County order is also immovable, and he does not dare to support Fu Jie easily, he is also afraid that Cao Shen and Lu Ze will take advantage of it. If Fu Jie's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao is feasible, and he can successfully contain Cao Shen and others, as long as this Pengcheng County order is not dull, he will not hesitate to send troops.

It can be said that this battle of Peixian is not just a simple battle of containment, but a historical battle that determines the territorial belonging of the eastern part of Surabaya County. If Pei County wins, Liu Yuan can be ruled with the county guard Chen.

Just when Fu Jie and the others were camping, Lu Ze and Cao Shen also received Liu Yuan's secret letter. Lu Ze nodded secretly, and he immediately ordered the whole army to go around Pengcheng to aid Peixian. Similarly, Cao Shen also led the troops out of Lu County, and as for all the affairs of Lu County, he handed over all the affairs to Lu Xi.

Cao Shen and Lu Ze finally made a move, and all the spies frantically spread the news to all places. The Pengcheng County Commander is even more ready to move, as long as Cao Shen and Lu Ze enter the boundary of Pei County, he, the army of Pengcheng, will be directed at Pei County. No matter how you analyze it, Pei County is in danger.

After the coalition army was rested, on the second day, Fu Jie also organized a large army to try to attack, but under the counterattack of Pei's army, it had to be fruitless. In the next two days, Fu Jie and others also harassed Pei County many times, but they still couldn't break through the city tower. However, they also received the news that Cao Shen and Lu Ze had returned to Pei County to help.

In the Qin army's big tent, Fu Jie smiled, "Sure enough, the power of the four counties has been resolved." ”

"Now that Cao Shen and Lu Ze are about to enter Pei County, I can't wait for each other to withdraw their troops." Wuxian County Commander opened his mouth and suggested.

Suddenly, there was silence in the tent, as the Wuxian county decree said, their purpose had been achieved. As for the capture of Peixian, through the temptation of the past few days, they have also cut off this idea. The county magistrate of Wuxian County continued to speak: "Don't forget, we still have to bear the pressure of the county guard. Although we are not afraid of this Liu Yuan, if we lose too much in Pei County, it will be worth the loss. ”

"Fu County Order, what do you think?" Wuyuan County Commander couldn't make up his mind, and asked Fu Jie hesitantly.

When Fu Jie didn't know how to answer, his cronies outside the account said: "Back to the county order, the secret envoy of the Pengcheng county order is outside the account, I don't know if the county order has summoned it?" ”

"Pengcheng's secret envoy?" Fu Jie was stunned, and he immediately said, "Quick, please let the secret envoy come in." ”

The rest of the people also looked at each other, not knowing why this Pengcheng secret envoy came. After entering the big tent, the secret envoy arched his hand and said: "Pengcheng County Cheng Te came to deliver a letter on the order of the county. So saying, the messenger took the letter out of his bosom.

As soon as they heard that this secret envoy was Pengcheng County, everyone was surprised, it seems that this Pengcheng County Commander has a very big plan, otherwise it is impossible to order the Cheng of a county to be a secret envoy. After Fu Jie saw the silk, he also passed it on to several other county orders.

"Pengcheng County wants to send troops to Pei County?" Wutong County Commander said silently.

The envoy replied: "Yes, this Liu Yuan has always been a threat, how can the traitors exist on the side of the couch?" ”

"What exactly does the Pengcheng County Order mean? Last time, the county defended Pei County, but I didn't see that he was willing to send troops. The Wuyuan County Commander expressed his doubts.

Hearing this, the secret envoy explained without hurry: "The county guards the 7,000 army, why do you need my Pengcheng support? Besides, who would have thought that the county guards would be defeated? However, this time Liu Yuan's capture of Wuyuan and Lu County also made Pengcheng see the ambition of this son, and my Pengcheng County Order made a decision. ”

"In that case, what about the soldiers of Pengcheng?" Fu Jie frowned.

"When Cao Shen and the others enter Pei County, I, Pengcheng, will send troops."

"He's going to have a lot of calculations." Fu Jie scolded, in the final analysis, it was still necessary for the coalition forces of their four counties to continue to besiege Pei County.

The envoy replied lightly: "There will never be any prudence. ”

"You're cautious, but you're putting me in danger." The Wuyuan County Commander also shook his sleeves dissatisfied.

"The county order once said that if Liu Yuan is destroyed, this first merit will naturally be four." The secret envoy responds freely and is well prepared.

Hearing this, Fu Jie and the others glanced at each other, and after they discussed in a low voice, Fu Jie said: "According to the agreement of Pengcheng County, we will continue to contain it, and when Cao Shen and others enter Pei County, this Pengcheng also needs to send troops immediately." ”

"Naturally." The envoy nodded in response, and after he gave up his resignation, he hurried back in the night.

"Pengcheng is a big city, and with the large number of its troops, coupled with our coalition forces, Pei County has a plan." Fu Jie nodded and said, "In the past two days, I will order the army to stay in the camp and be on guard, and when Pengcheng's army arrives, we will attack the city together." ”

"Very good!" The other three also bowed slightly.

Just when Fu Jie and the others were conspiring with Peng Cheng, Cao Shen and Lu Ze also quietly entered the territory of Pei County. However, they did not enter the city, but took advantage of the location and hid. At the same time, Zhou Bo of Qian County also led his troops, and he also ambushed and hid near the camp of the coalition army.

Upstairs in Peixian County, looking at the black sky, there are few stars tonight, and there is some meaning that the moon is dark and the wind is high, Liu Yuan looked at Lu Shizhi and asked, "Are Cao Shen and the others ready?" ”

"Returning to the lord, according to your prior arrangement, it has been ambushed near the Qin army camp." Lu Shizhi replied.

"Hmm. Let's send troops! Liu Yuan waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice.

"No!" Lu Shizhi and Zhao Sheng immediately ordered the soldiers of Pei County out of the county seat.
