"I already know about the war, Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, you have not been convicted, go back and continue to lead the troops to fight."

Han Kuangrui sighed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the last general really has no face to see Your Majesty." ”

"Go back first, and leave it to me when you go south."

Han Kuangrui nodded: "General Zhong be careful, there is a country in the south called Xinguo, which is very strong, I was defeated in the hands of a military general on the other side, and the soldiers of Xinguo are not weak in combat." ”

"I understand."

After a brief explanation, General Zhong led the army to continue south.

If Han Kuangrui can be regarded as the second-ranked general of the Lieguo, then this General Zhong is the first-ranked general, for no other reason, the historical rating is one level higher than that of Han Kuangrui.

This General Zhong, whose full name is Zhong Liyi, was in the dispute between Chu and Han, and there were a total of four generals under Xiang Yu, namely Long Ji, Ji Bu, and Yingbu, and the last one was Zhong Liyi.

Although Zhong Liyi did not have many outstanding deeds in history, he also had rich combat experience in following Xiang Yu to fight in the south and north.

In history, Liu Bang adopted Chen Ping's discord plan and successfully divided all the capable people around Xiang Yu, and Zhong Liyi also lost Xiang Yu's trust. After Xiang Yu's defeat and death, Zhong Liyi defected to Han Xin. After Liu Bang learned that Zhong Liyi had fled to the state of Chu, he asked Han Xin to pursue him, but Han Xin sent troops to protect Zhong Liyi's access.

Later, someone accused Han Xin of rebellion, Liu Bang used Chen Ping's strategy to attack Han Xin on the grounds of travel, and in the end, someone asked Han Xin to kill Zhong Liyi and hand over the head to Liu Bang, so that he would be spared, Zhong Liyi committed suicide and died, and Han Xin was demoted from the king of Chu to the marquis of Huaiyin because of this incident.

At this moment, Zhong Liyi also led the army, directly pushed all the way over, and the small neutral countries he encountered directly sent envoys to make them surrender, and those who did not surrender directly began to attack the city.

The soldiers of the Lieguo fought bravely, and the cities of the small neutral country could not stop the ferocious attack at all, and they all fell one by one and were included in the territory of the Lieguo.

Like a bulldozer, Zhong Liyi directly pushed it over, constantly expanding the territory of the Lie Kingdom.

A day later, it was already close to the border of the Windy Country.

Next to him was a soldier with a map on horseback.

"General, look, this is the Wind Country, according to the news I got before, the Wind Country was attacked by the New Country, the country was in chaos, and the rest of the cities have been occupied by the New Country, except for the imperial capital of the Wind Country, which has not yet fallen, the rest of the cities have fallen."

Zhong Liyi glanced at the map: "This is occupied by the new country?" ”

"Xinguo, General Han said that Xinguo's combat strength is brave, and the military generals are commanding wisely, I don't believe it, send an order, send scouts, let the scouts go to investigate, and at the same time our army presses over, I want to see, he Fengguo Emperor has not been defeated yet, and my side is going to attack it immediately, see how he responds, this Fengguo, I want to decide."

Zhong Liyi's words were full of confidence.

Soon, all the scouts in the army were sent out, and the tens of thousands of troops on his side also slowly passed forward without hurry.

The speed of the scout's investigation was very fast, and it didn't take long for those scouts to come back, and the information they brought back was even more unexpected than Zhong Liyi.

"General, we have already checked, and the city in front of us is an empty city."

"Empty city? You're not mistaken, right? ”

Zhong Liyi was a little surprised, how could it be an empty city, there was no army stationed in the border city, and the invasion of the border pass was not blocked and warned at all, and the country was in danger.

What's going on?

"General, there is no mistake in the humble position, it is indeed an empty city, but there should have been an army stationed before, and it was withdrawn soon, and the humble position asked the people in the city, saying that it was the army of the new country that was stationed before, but it had been withdrawn yesterday."

Zhong Liyi frowned: "Withdraw so quickly? ”

couldn't figure it out, Zhong Liyi directly ordered: "Continue to advance, send a thousand troops, and garrison the city." ”

Since I can't figure it out, I don't want to think about it, anyway, these cities are all occupied by myself.

Zhong Liyi continued to move forward, and as he reached the Wind Country, the news from the scouts in front of him also made Zhong Liyi's brows furrow.

Because all the cities that the new country fought and occupied before were abandoned, and all of them retreated, leaving all the empty cities.

Worked hard to knock down the city, and now they are all retreating, and they don't even want the city?

Zhong Liyi frowned, and the scout said again: "General, at present, except for the imperial capital, the rest of the cities in the Wind Country are all empty cities. ”

The partial general on the side said: "General, according to me, the withdrawal of the new country is not afraid of us and others?" ”

"The military strength of the new country is not weak, otherwise it would be impossible to win against General Han yesterday, I always feel tired."

The hasty withdrawal of troops reveals strangeness inside and out, and this move is really unpredictable.

"General, in my opinion, since the other party has withdrawn its troops, then we will occupy all the Wind Country, let them out, and we will eat it."

The second partial general also echoed: "That's right, general, I also agree, anyway, the other party has withdrawn its troops, and the Wind Country has not recovered, and the troops are small, take this opportunity, we should take down the Wind Country in one go." ”

Zhong Liyi pondered for a moment: "First send scouts to inquire and see where the new country has withdrawn its troops." ”

"Yes."

The scouts mounted their horses and sped away.

"Order, send troops to garrison and occupy all the cities, Captain Huang, Captain Zhou, Captain Jiang, the three of you will be stationed in the city, and wait for the scout information to come back, and then attack the city of the Wind Country."

"Yes!"

The order continued, and all the generals also acted quickly, and the entire city in the Wind Country was occupied by Zhong Liyi's army.

And the scouts sent out also found traces of the new army, all the new army evacuated from the wind country, and withdrew to the vicinity of Lixian, that is, the few cities that were originally proud of the world, and then the troops did not move.

Zhong Liyi, who received the news, had a strange face: "Have you checked it out?" ”

"General, it's clear, it seems that the commander of the other party has returned to China to go to his fate, and it seems that the northern expedition has stopped."

"Since that's the case, I'll take it from the Wind Country, pass the order, and prepare to encircle Mo County."

"Yes!"

All the armies of the Lieguo moved quickly, and soon, a large army appeared near Mo County, and Mo County, which had already lifted the siege, was surrounded again.

When Baron Tempest received the news, he immediately rushed to the city, and when he saw the army that had reappeared not far away, his face was not very good-looking.

"After leaving the new country, I came to the Lie Country again, and this plain county is really too lively."

Baron Tempest took a deep breath; "Order, prepare to defend the city."

He didn't have a choice, whether the other party was a Lieguo or a new country, all he could do was to defend the last city.

Zhong Liyi sat on his horse and glanced at the city in the distance; "Prepare for the siege."
