Shi Le was born as a slave, and since joining the army, he has experienced few defeats in battles, and has participated in almost all the battles of the Han and Zhao dynasties to destroy the Western Jin Dynasty, including the battle of gathering and annihilating the East Sea King Group, and the battle of breaking Luoyang.

With his outstanding military talent, he soon became the most sought-after general in Han and Zhao.

When Han and Zhao perished, he shook his head and became the overlord of the Central Plains with a mighty world.

No one can deny that the development and growth of Xiangguo is indispensable to Shi Le's shrewdness and ability, but even so, in order to deal with Zu Li, he still mobilized 100,000 troops and besieged Pengcheng.

Shi Le rode on his horse and looked at the tall figure on the city wall from afar, and suddenly asked, "The Jiangdong reinforcements are still holding back?" ”

"Dai Yuan and Wang Shu stopped at the front line of the Huai River, and did not dare to take a step forward, General Shi Hu has already invaded the two counties of Xiapi and Pengcheng."

The corners of Shi Le's mouth showed a hint of disdain and said, "Meng Sun, do you see it?" This is the virtue of the Jin people, when the eight princes and kings disregarded the interests of the court for their own desires, and wantonly caused chaos in the north, otherwise how would they have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains? Now the Jiangzuo court is still for its own selfishness, and it is even going to abandon the ancestor Shizhi who is loyal to the Great Jin. ”

"I really feel worthless for Zu Ti, he has been loyal to the public in this life, and he has been on the front line for the sake of the Jin family, but I didn't expect to end up like this."

Zhang Bin also sighed: "Zu Shizhi is an enemy of ten thousand people, and he is good at using soldiers, this time he was surrounded by my large army in Pengcheng, it is not a crime of war, but a lack of strength!" ”

"Hahaha, all of this depends on Mr. Mengsun's planning, I have Mr. to help, why worry about big things? However, at the moment, we can't be careless, a certain general will personally supervise the formation, and we must take Pengcheng in the shortest possible time. After a long time, I am afraid that something will happen, and once reinforcements arrive, the outcome will be unpredictable. ”

Zhang Bin shook his head slightly and said: "Zu Shizhi has both civil and military skills, if he comes with a large army, we should retreat and deal with it." Now that he is trapped in a lonely city, he can be captured in one battle. Moreover, Liaodong is on an expedition to the grassland, and Jiang Zuo wants to borrow a knife to kill people, where will there be any reinforcements? ”

……

In Pengcheng, Zu Ti, who had just finished inspecting the defense of the city wall, was physically and mentally exhausted, and sat there motionless with a grim face, the current situation was critical, but the reinforcements were nowhere to be seen.

"Brother, why hasn't the imperial court sent reinforcements for a long time? It is said that Huaiyin Dai Yuan and Xuyi Wang Shu are not far from Pengcheng, right? They should have crawled even if they were crawling, why have they not been traced so far? ”

Looking at the restless Zu Cai, Zu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you understand it yet?" Where are the reinforcements? ”

"What?! Why? Didn't my brother reconcile with the Son of Heaven last year? The Son of Heaven also canonized his brother as a county marquis, why did the court turn his face and deny people in the blink of an eye? Zugai's face was shocked, he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.

"Maybe the Son of Heaven wants to save you and my brother, but the Langya Wang clan, who holds the power of the imperial court, is not necessarily. Wang Dun has always been jealous of a certain and Wei Zhiyuan, how could he give up the opportunity in front of him? ”

"That'...... And what about Liaodong? Aren't there still many Liaodong garrisons on the eastern coast of Xuzhou? They shouldn't have watched their brother die in Pengcheng. ”

When it comes to the ancestors of Liaodong, I can't help but think of Wei Shuo again, and later he gradually alienated Liaodong, which is purely different from each other. Over the years, he has seen clearly that as long as Liaodong gains power in the future, it will inevitably replace the Jin family. And as a loyal minister of the Jin family, this is something that Zu Ti will never tolerate happening.

Zu Ti smiled bitterly: "Liaodong? Hehe, if Wei Zhiyuan is still in Jicheng, maybe there will be a glimmer of life. And at present, how could the high-level leaders of Liaodong sitting in Jicheng be willing to save a future 'enemy'? ”

"Separatist forces like Cao Wei, Li Ju and a certain may win over us when Liaodong is weak. Now Liaodong has the strength to unify the world, and a certain city has become a stumbling block to the road of Liaodong's unification. ”

After listening to his brother's words, Zu Gai's face turned pale, and he finally figured out the situation of the ancestral family. As a loyal minister of the Jin family, Jiang Zuo was very suspicious of Zu Ti, but because of this, he was not allowed to Liaodong.

"It turns out that unconsciously, our brothers have already offended Liaodong and Jiangzuo." Zu Gai looked miserable and muttered to himself.

Zu Ti was about to say a few words to comfort Zu Cai, but suddenly heard a rapid horn sound outside, and suddenly his face changed and shouted: "It's not good, Hu Lu is attacking the city!" ”

Saying that, Zu Ti grabbed the big knife and walked quickly to the city wall, and when he looked out, he saw a drum under the city, and at the opening of the flag gate, Shi Le appeared under the city with a large number of henchmen and generals.

Shi Le persuaded with a serious expression: "General Zu, you have been surrounded by a certain 100,000 army, and it can be said that it is difficult to fly. If you surrender immediately, I can protect your life. ”

"Humph! He is a loyal minister of the Jin family, how can he descend to wait for the barbarians! ”

Although Zu Ti knew that his vitality had been cut off, he still did not have the slightest idea of surrendering. In the face of the menacing Hulu, Zu Ti was not afraid, calmly commanded the defenders to set up their positions, and planned to fight Hulu to the death.

At this time, the general under the ancestral tent couldn't help but persuade: "Lord, now that Hu Lu is powerful, it is better to find an opportunity to retreat!" ”

Zu Ti smiled wryly: "Do you think there is still a way out?" There were 100,000 Hulu outside the city, of which tens were cavalry alone. As soon as we leave Pengcheng, Hu Qi will pounce on us viciously and tear us to pieces. Since ancient times, loyal ministers have been in danger and would rather die in battle and die than surrender to the enemy! ”

"Now we are sitting in a lonely city, and I hope that all the soldiers will work together with a certain person to fight to the death with Hu Lu! Those who dare to take a step back, kill! ”

"No!" Most of the defenders in the city are Zu Li's henchmen, and since the main general is ready to die in battle, they are naturally no exception.

The battle was quite tragic, tens of thousands of Xiangguo elites surrounded Pengcheng and attacked endlessly, and the city walls were in an emergency. Zu Ti led his guards to continuously reinforce all sides, and did his best to keep Hu Lu under the city wall.

This battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and Zu Ti and the defenders fought with Hu Lu for a whole day, and they didn't even bother to drink saliva. But not one of them complained or flinched, but by virtue of their will they killed and wounded a large number of enemies, and drove Hu Lu off the city wall several times.

After seeing the Luoyang tragedy in the Yongjia period, Zu Ti secretly vowed that one day he would drive Hu Lu out of the Central Plains, so he did not hesitate to turn his face with Sima Rui and also went north to Xuzhou, which also laid the root of today's bane.

But he has never regretted this, if he is given another choice, Zu Ti will still choose the Northern Expedition without hesitation, even if it costs his life.

The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the expulsion of Hulu were the ideals that Zu Ti fought for, and now his ambition was about to die, and he did not have any regrets except for a trace of relief in his heart.

Because Zu Ti knew that even if he died, there would still be Wei Shuo, Li Ju, Shao Xu and others who would continue to carry the banner of driving Hu to the end. He believed that one day, Hulu would eventually be exterminated, and the people of the world would never be harmed by Hulu again.

The hungry and exhausted soldiers of the Pengcheng garrison fought a bloody battle of life and death with the barbarian Hu people, and the battle could hardly be described as a battle, it was a terrible bite and fight. The enemy fought from morning to noon, from noon, and then from noon, and then to the afternoon, and finally until dusk.

When Zu Ti stood on the head of the city and fought bloodily, Wang Shu, Dai Yuan, and Su Jun watched from a distance, watching......

Watching Zu Li's soldiers fall one by one, in the end, not only were the defenders' bowstrings broken, but all the arrows were also used up.

At the critical juncture, some people persuaded Zu Ti to break through the siege to save his useful body. Unexpectedly, Zu Ti pressed the sword in his hand, and sighed: "Today is the day of loyalty to the country, how can you leave your brother to break through alone?" From ancient times to the present, when good generals are ordained, there is no advance or retreat. Now, due to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, our army has fallen into a deep death, and my ancestor is a minister of the imperial court, and he can not care about the country with his body! ”

Zu Ti knew that there was no reason to be spared, and in the face of the overwhelming enemy, he shouted with a finger of his long knife: "Kill Hu!" ”

The general roared, waved his sword, and led the last guards to fight a desperate battle with Hu Lu! The general's figure gradually disappeared among the countless hutains, and suddenly the sky was pouring rain, as if they were all crying goodbye to the general. None of the defenders of Pengcheng surrendered, and all of them died on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
