The two of them jointly held the power of the army, and were given supreme power by King Lipi, but it is not known whether the king was confused or intentional, and he did not specify which general was in charge of the matter, that is, both seemed to have the right to decide.

In fact, this is also the cleverness of King Lipi, he did not completely hand over the military power to one person, that is, he was afraid that there were too many rights below, which would be detrimental to himself, which was a means of saving his life, but in doing so, it was also equivalent to indirectly compressing the combat power of his army to the minimum, and the army orders could not be unified, which was an unstable factor, not to mention that it was still in the middle of a big war.

Just like now, the two generals have their own ideas, but neither of them can convince anyone, and for a while, they lose the best time to attack.

Saixi did not agree to send troops to attack, which made Ji Fan very disappointed. It's just that the other party is a member of the royal family of the Cheshi, and the other person's sister is King Lipi's favorite concubine, and with this, Ji Fan can't order the other party.

In a fit of anger, Ji Fan proposed a strategy to divide the troops. "General Saisi, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers who are now protecting the king, we now have 310,000 troops, in this way, we have a good division of labor, I will divide 150,000, you will divide 160,000, you will defend the city, I will attack, we will each act according to our own methods, what do you think?"

"Hmph." Listening to Ji Fan's words, Saixi showed contempt in his eyes and did not answer.

Ji Fan came up step by step by relying on his military exploits, just because this person is not a native of Cheshi Country, on the contrary, if you trace it so carefully, this person has some blood of the people of the Han Dynasty, because of this, although he has been working very hard, and has also stepped into the position of the three major generals of Cheshi Country, but he can only occupy the last position, which is far inferior to the status of a pure-blooded general like Saixi.

So why divide the army equally with yourself?

Saixi disagreed, and a look of anger flashed in Ji Fan's eyes, and this was seen clearly by Saixi, and he couldn't help but feel more proud in his heart, I just don't agree, what can you do with me?

As a result, such a stalemate lasts for three days.

Three days later, the main force of the vanguard army also rushed to the outside of Jiaohe City, Lu Bu, wearing a red cloak, arrived in person, and he arrived at the same time as a full 300,000 troops, it can be said that in addition to the remaining 50,000 troops responsible for logistics and supply, the vanguard army has gathered 400,000 troops in the city.

Seeing that there were more and more Celestial Empire troops outside the city, Saixi also began to panic. He didn't think that he could stop the Iron Cavalry of the Celestial Empire by relying on the wall of Jiaohe, and the intelligence had long shown that the Celestial Empire had a secret weapon that could quickly blow up the city wall.

Just when Saixi felt the pressure getting bigger and bigger, Ji Fan appeared again, and this time he proposed a strategy to divide the troops, and he also wanted to lead the army to launch a surprise attack, and this time he only wanted 100,000 troops.

310,000 people, he only needs to go 100,000, Saixi knows that this is the biggest concession made by the other party. In fact, he also wanted to see how the Celestial Empire Iron Cavalry would react to rushing to the camp now, maybe he could inflict heavy damage on the enemy? Even if it can't achieve its goal, as long as it can disrupt the deployment of the enemy army and win time for reinforcements to arrive, it is still feasible.

The reason why Saisi dared to stand up and ask King Lipi to lead the army was precisely because he knew that the king would not be captured like this, and he would definitely ask for help from other countries in the Western Regions, and he only needed to support enough time to do it.

Now that Ji Fan wants to go out to take the lead, he naturally won't oppose it. The situation has changed, if it is opposed, maybe tomorrow the army of the Celestial Empire will attack the city, and at that time, there is no better plan than to be passively beaten and defended.

"Okay." Saixi, who figured it out, although he had acquiesced to Ji Fan's behavior, still pretended to be reluctant and said: "Even if General Ji Fan must give it a try, then I will wait for your good news in the city, remember, once it is inviolable, you must return to the city quickly." ”

"Thank you, General Saisi." Ji Fan was indeed excited at this moment, but while he was clenching his fists and thanking him, the unnoticeable look flowing in his eyes was indeed not noticed by anyone.

After getting Saixi's support, Ji Fan went to check the soldiers and horses, and decided that he would go out of the city tonight to take the initiative to fight with the Celestial Empire, believing that under such a lightning attack, it was not impossible to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Outside Jiaohe City, the vanguard corps completely unfolded the military tent in the shape of a product.

This kind of arrangement of troops is based on the word first, because the military advisor Pang Tong said that the Che Shiguo is likely to steal the camp because of his own side, and such a formation is also protecting himself to the greatest extent.

For the order of Pang Tongjun's division, the deputy corps commander Hou Cheng did not agree, he had already brought 100,000 cavalry to Jiaohe City for three days, and Che Shiguo did not have the slightest intention of stealing the camp, and now that the main force of the legion has arrived, the enemy will not do this.

It's just that even if the military advisor gives an order, all that Hou Cheng has to do is to obey. Just after he sent a team of scouts to reconnoiter outside the camp, not to mention that he really caught a spy from the Cheshi Country.

It is more appropriate to say that the other party took the initiative to send it to the door than to catch it. Because this sentry did not flee after being seen, but allowed himself to be caught, and calmly said that he wanted to see General Lu Bu, the commander of the vanguard corps.

It's just a sentry detective, who actually wants to see the commander of the 500,000 corps of the unified army, and the scouts of the Celestial Empire naturally can't casually comply with his wishes, but just bring this person to the tent of General Hou Cheng, the deputy corps commander in charge of night duty. If it weren't for the fact that the war was on the horizon, it would have been very difficult to meet a deputy commander.

But where did he think that after seeing Hou Cheng, this detective from Che Shiguo still asked to see Commander Lu Bu, otherwise, he would not say anything, and even threatened that if he didn't report it and delayed the big event, then Hou Cheng would not be responsible.

This sentry named Ji Yong didn't say a word after he reported his name, and he didn't say a word no matter how intimidated Hou Cheng's personal soldiers.

"Well, I hope you really have something to say, otherwise, you will be worse off than dead." General Hou Cheng, who really couldn't resist Ji Yong, finally compromised, and after snorting coldly, he took this person to the place where Lu Bu, the big tent of the Chinese army, was.

In the big tent, Lu Bu did not rest, and was still discussing the siege of the city tomorrow with the military advisor Pang Tong.

Because it was the first battle after the army came to the Western Regions, it was natural that they all attached great importance to it, thinking of a way to attack themselves without attacking and attacking them.

At this time, Hou Cheng came to the big tent, and as soon as he saw Lu Bu and the military advisor Pang Tong, he caught the enemy sentry, but they insisted on telling the things they wanted to see.

"This man is very bold." After Lu Bu heard Hou Cheng's report, a look of interest flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes fell on the military advisor Pang Tong.

Pang Tong also smiled, "Even if this person is not even afraid of death, he just wants to see Captain Lu, so bring it in, I also want to see if he really has any important information." ”

The legion commander and the military advisor both agreed, and Hou Cheng said to the outside of the big tent, "Bring people in." Then, Ji Yong entered the big tent under the escort of four personal soldiers.

As soon as he entered the account, Lu Bu frowned at first, obviously he thought that it was a bit of a fuss to send four people to follow an enemy, to say that there are indeed many people who want to hurt him, but you also have to have such a ability. "You four go down first."

"This...", was reprimanded by Lu Bu to retreat, and the four pro-soldiers showed embarrassment.

"What is this? Am I muddy? Alright, stand down. Lu Bu's tone became a little impatient.

"Stand down." The military advisor Pang Tong also smiled on the side, he didn't think that anyone could use a pair of Lu Bu and Hou Cheng to become two, if Che Shiguo really had such a capable person, then he would never believe it.

The four pro-soldiers finally retreated, and as soon as they went out, the sentry named Ji Yong changed his silent appearance just now, but bent down respectfully and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, our general has heard your name for a long time, and specially asked me to come over to greet you." ”

"Oh, who is your general?" The curiosity on Lu Bu's face was even stronger, as far as he knew, it was the first time he had come to Cheshi Country, and there were indeed no acquaintances here.

"Back to the general's words, my general's surname is Ji Mingfan, and he is one of the three major generals of the Cheshi country." Ji Yong still said with a respectful and abnormal appearance, and he could make people feel that it was really sincere.

"Ji Fan?" Hearing his name, Lu Bu's face flashed with a strange color, to say that this person he had heard the military advisor Pang Tong talk about it more than once just now, saying that this person was the only general with Han blood in the Western Regions, and even Pang Tong had suggested whether it was possible to communicate with him and rebel.

It's only because my understanding of this person is really limited that I can't help but give up thinking like this. But I didn't expect that people would come to the door.

"Yes, it is General Ji Fan, my general admires the name of General Lu very much, this time it is to send a villain to tell the general, my general wants to surrender, and specially sent a villain to come..."

Lu Bu was naturally excited after hearing this, but after experiencing too many things, he did not immediately rejoice, but set his eyes on Pang Tong's body, and it was not until the military advisor also lightly bowed his head that he faced Ji Yong again and said, "Go on." ”
