After all, Bishui Pass was breached, compared to the battle at the door of Xiqi's house, Wen Zhong was a labor expedition after all, under the long battle, the grain and grass had begun to be unable to help, so he had to retreat to Guanzhong, but Jiang Ziya took advantage of the situation to break through Bishui Pass, and the guards of Bishui Pass broke Huang Roll and Fengxing City, and became a god list, Huang Feihu heard the news, vomiting blood.

However, Xiqi was not proud for too long, just when the Bishui Pass was captured, bad news came from the north, Chonghei Tiger lost the city, and finally on the bank of the big river, was captured by Li Jing with Linglong Tower, and would rather die than surrender, and finally was cut off by Zhao Yun's head, and the head was sent to Xiqi, since then, the princes of the two hundred towns in the north have been completely pacified, five points of the world, and Chengtang has accounted for four of them.

After Ji Fa heard the bad news of Chongheihu, he was groggy all day long, ignoring political affairs, and everything in the army was taken care of by Jiang Ziya.

"Prime Minister, then Zhao Yun has already led Li Jing, Deng Jiugong and others across the river and come straight to Xiqi, if we wait for his troops to come to Xiqi, then we will be in a situation where we will be attacked by the enemy on our backs, why don't we return to the army and refuse to defend the city?" Ji Fa sat in the barracks and discussed with Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya was also a little difficult when he heard this, he didn't expect that Zhao Yun would be so powerful, he only led all the way to the division, and then captured all the princes of the two hundred towns of Chongheihu, and now Zhao Yun led the troops to force Xiqi, if he didn't return to the army, as King Wu said, he would suffer from the enemy on his back.

But if he returns to the army, this matter is not only related to Xiqi's luck, this battle is sealed by the mandate of heaven, if he retreats, the sect will suffer calamity, and each will die, so this way, can only advance but not retreat.

"It's better to go back to Xiqi first, I ordered Jin Zha and Mu Zha to assist, I think that Zhao Yun is just a partial division all the way, and he has been fighting hard for a long time, and the soldiers will think about returning, it will be difficult to make a difference, the king only needs to guard the city, wait for Zhao Yun to be unsustainable, retreat and leave, and then go to Jiameng Pass and join forces with the ministers, and break through the Chaoge!"

Ji Fa saw Jiang Ziya's resolute attitude, so he had to nod, and took Jin Zha and Mu Zha to lead an army to Xiqi, Jiang Ziya continued to lead troops to confront Wen Zhong, and at the same time looked for wise men to come out of the mountain to help, unlike in the original book, this time, Chaoge's talented people and strangers almost came together, plus the second generation of disciples of the exposition sect collectively went back to practice and recover their vitality, Xiqi here, only Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, a few three generations of disciples of the expounding sect, compared to the large number of people and the interception of the teaching, there is no advantage at all, can only look at the scattered cultivation of the three mountains and five mountains, these scattered cultivation streams that were originally not in the eyes of the expositional teaching, have become Jiang Ziya's main help at this moment, and they are also comparable to Wen Zhong.

This year's winter was exceptionally cold.

When Ji Fa hurriedly returned to Xiqi with the army, looking at the city covered by heavy snow, an indescribable gloom surged into his heart.

In fact, many things were not prepared, and it may have been a hasty decision to promise Jiang Ziya to send troops, but now, not only has the city been lost, but the prosperous and thriving Xiqi in the past has become such a scene now.

"Where is Zhao Yun's army now?" Now, Ji Fa knows that even if he complains about Jiang Ziya, there is no point at this time, and the top priority at the moment is to solve Zhao Yun's troops.

"Carefully report that it is less than 100 miles away from Xiqi at this time, and it will arrive tomorrow." Jin Zha said in a deep voice.

Less than 100 miles! Already so close?

Ji Fa frowned, and instructed Jin Zha and Mu Zha to lead people to sort out the city defenses and prepare for a big war, Xiqi City as Ji Fa's foundation place, plus there were already two hearts, the strategic reserves were very rich, under the command of Jin Zha and Mu Zha, all kinds of strategic materials were constantly transported to the city wall with the help of the people.

In the evening, Ji Fa was finally busy with things, ready to go back to the house to rest, came to the street, and suddenly saw two women, distributing food on the street, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then frowned, these two women are the two Zhou family women he saved at the beginning, this year on the expedition, if it is not encountered, almost can't remember.

"What are you doing?" Ji Fa came closer, watching the bags of grain being sent out, and an inexplicable annoyance suddenly rose in his heart, although there are still reserves in the army now, it is already very reluctant to be able to support until the beginning of spring, these two stupid women actually sent grain out without authorization!?

"King! You're back!? Daji and Ximei seemed to have just discovered Ji Fa at this time, and their faces showed a touch of surprise just right, and they quickly knelt down to say goodbye.

"Who gave you permission to give you food!?" Ji Fatie's face was blue, and then he looked at the few guards who were following to help around him and said angrily: "And you, as soldiers, don't want to protect your family and defend the country, but you are messing around with two ignorant women here!?" ”

"King, don't blame a few generals, it's our ......" Zhou Ling wanted to explain something, but was rudely interrupted by Ji Fa.

"Enough!" Ji Fa looked at the two charming women with a pale face, but at this moment he couldn't give a trace of pity, if it was on weekdays, Ji Fa was also willing to do some good deeds to improve his prestige in the hearts of the people, but at this moment, when the war was about to go, it was still a trivial matter to send some rice grain, but if because of this, a large number of people came to ask for food, would he give it or not?

"King, these grains were purchased by the two young ladies with the money they saved in the mansion, and they did not touch a single grain in the mansion." The commander of the guards, the person who connected with Daji that day, seemed to be unable to stand it at the moment, and argued forcefully.

Ji Fa looked at each other calmly, the problem is not here at all, whether it is food from the house or not, the actions of the two will cause misunderstanding in the house.

"It turned out that Miss Zhou paid for it herself." Around, many onlookers exclaimed, although it was very low, Ji Fa could imagine that his image in the eyes of these people at this moment must have been covered by these two stupid women!

"Go home!" After Ji Fa said with an ugly face, he walked towards the palace without looking back, and at this moment, a military general galloped on a horse.

"King, the big thing is not good, Zhao Yun led a team of soldiers and horses to break through the city gate, and at this moment he is fighting with the two generals Jin Zha and Mu Zha!"

"What!?" Ji Fa was taken aback, and he didn't care about Daji and the two anymore, so he hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and galloped towards the direction of the city gate with his guards.

At the gate of the city, when Ji Fa felt that a big battle had ended, and the city gate had been closed, but Jin Zha and Mu Zha's faces were not good-looking.

"Two generals, why is this?" Ji Fa looked at Jin Zha and Mu Zha suspiciously, and asked puzzled.

Jin Zha smiled bitterly and said, "The king doesn't know that it was not Zhao Yun who attacked the city gate just now, but the former Chen Tangguan general soldier, that is, our father. ”

It turned out that although Zhao Yun's army was still a hundred miles away, he secretly sent Li Jing to lead a cavalry first, if he could take advantage of Xiqi's defenselessness, it would be best to capture the city, even if he couldn't, it could also make Xiqi people panic, but unexpectedly Li Jing led his troops to come, and met Jinzha and Muzha patrolling the city wall, and Li Jing's men and horses collided, and the two sides had a big battle at the gate of the city, and finally Li Jing was defeated by his two sons, and retreated back, and the two did not dare to really chase and kill their father.

Ji Fa's heart sank when he heard this, the father and son faced off on the battlefield, Jin Zha and Mu Zha definitely didn't dare to go all out, and more importantly, for Jin Zha Muzha, Ji Fa didn't dare to use it with confidence, after all, since his father's life is the right thing in this world, no matter how much Ji Fa believes in them, he will inevitably have a pimple in his heart after all, and this time it is equivalent to abolishing the two gold medals that he can play the most in his hands now.

"The two generals don't have to worry, just think about it, General Li will definitely understand the true meaning of the two generals in the future." Although there was a hint of mustard in his heart, Ji Fa covered it up well, and after Wen Yan comforted the two, he ordered the four doors to be closed immediately.

Li Jing followed the city wall of Xiqi City, spared a circle, and saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he could only helplessly retreat to the village for ten miles, waiting for Zhao Yun, Deng Jiugong and others to come, and then discuss the matter of breaking the city.

In Xiqi City, after Ji Fa calmed the hearts of the army, he finally returned to the mansion, but saw the Zhou sisters standing alone in the snow, seeing him coming, the girl named Zhou Xue looked at a loss, but Zhou Ling's eyes flashed with a touch of firmness, as if he had made some determination, what determination, he didn't know, but looking at the appearance of the two, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this matter is no wonder to them, the starting point was originally good, but now there is a shortage of food in the army, he really doesn't dare to think about it, if the people in the city come to ask for food, how should he deal with it?

I was about to step forward to say a word of relief, but I saw Zhou Ling (Daji) take two steps forward, kneel down, and bury his head in the cold snow.

"What is this for?" Ji Fa was puzzled.

"King, in the past few days in the city, more than a dozen people have frozen to death and starved to death." Daji doesn't know what kind of mood she is in at the moment, she is acting, but she also has an indescribable sourness welling up in her heart, and when she speaks at this moment, she doesn't feel a little choked: "The king is the king of benevolence and righteousness, please have mercy on the people, open a warehouse and release grain!" ”

Ji Fa's originally gentle face turned into iron blue in an instant, and he looked at Daji calmly: "Do you know, what are you talking about!?" ”

"Zhou Ling knows that my sister has a humble status, and she shouldn't be so bold and arrogant, talking about state affairs, and now the country is still in the midst of a war, and the army is in short supply, but there is a shortage of food in the army, and some of the expenses can still be reduced, and food and frugality can always overcome difficulties, but if the people have no food and grass, I am afraid that this winter, many people will freeze to death, please have mercy on the king~"

"Come on, drive these two sluts who bewitch the people out of the palace!" Ji Fa shouted.

"Your Majesty, this ...... Be! Several guards looked at each other, a little unbearable, but when they saw Ji Fa's blue face, their chests couldn't help but suffocate, so they had to look at Daji and the others helplessly: "Two girls, please." ”

I don't know when snowflakes floated in the sky, and two slender figures came out of the palace, looking unusually gloomy in the wind and snow.

In a restaurant on the street, Zhuge Liang looked at the two women who came out of the palace, smiled and looked at Zhuo Ao who was sitting opposite, and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that great things can be expected." ”

"There's still a lack of fire." Zhuo Ao shook his head and smiled: "You rush to the Boundary Card Pass immediately, the battle of the three churches should almost arrive." ”

"Yes." (To be continued.) )
