Xiang Jun and Chen Jun fought fiercely for two hours at the mouth of this narrow valley, but they did not break through.

If this continues, morale will be low, the morale of the army will be weakened, and I am afraid that it will become a turtle in an urn!

"General, there is a riot in the rear of the halberd soldiers!" The sharp-eyed Zhan Hong saw the wind and dust behind the halberd soldiers.

A large banner of Xin characters disturbed the rear of the Euphorbia.

"Kaiseki Raiya!"

Xin Zilin led the army to break through the defense of the halberd soldiers, and fought a bloody way between these heavy armor soldiers!

"I see, I want those cliff-climbing soldiers to become ambush soldiers, if those ambush soldiers came out during the pursuit just now, then you really can't leave, in the end, you still have an eye on it." Cang Yuan looked at the battle situation and said to himself, he already knew Li Siye's layout.

In this way, the Xiang army withdrew from the Mangshan Pass along the bloody road killed by Xin Zilin's department.

"Careless." On the way to retreat, Li Si also looked up to the sky and sighed, he should have known from the beginning that this was Cangyuan's plan to lure the enemy deeper!

"Yuqing, for today's plan, the only way is to withdraw the troops, the Chen army occupies a favorable terrain, and the cavalry is very unfavorable to attack on the back, it is better to retreat to the city to wait for Chen Ting's change." Xin Zilin suggested from the perspective of a soldier that if he wanted to hit Haizhou from Ouji Port, the Mangshan Pass by land was the only way to go, and the sea route was strictly guarded by Chen's army, so there was no opportunity to take advantage of it for the time being.

Li Si also thought for a while, thought about it, and said to Zhan Hong: "General Lian, you pick a few clever points to go to Suizhou to spread rumors, saying that Cangyuan, the capital of the Chen army, actually sang wine with Li Si, the general of the enemy Anguo, in front of the battle, and talked very happily, and also cited him as a friend. ”

"Yes."

"Yuqing, isn't this appropriate?" Xin Zilin said.

"What's wrong? Kaiseki admits that it doesn't hurt. ”

"This rumor has put you in it, if it spreads to Yecheng, how will the ministers at the court slander you? If we lose this time, will the lord trust you as always? Xin Zilin worried.

"There will be gossip in the court, but my lord is wise and martial, and there is no doubt about employing people, so Kaiseki doesn't have to worry." Li Si also said confidently, as if he had a friendship with Xiang Yushen, who was far away in Ye City.

"I hope so." Xin Zilin sighed.

At this moment, a flying horse galloped in from the direction of Ouji Harbor.

"Humble and begging to see General Lee! There is something important to tell! Na Rider said.

The soldiers got out of the way, and rode to the front of Li Siye.

"What's the matter, hurry up." Li Si also said

"European ...... The port of Oji was lost. The soldier who came to pay the greeting said with a grim face.

"What? How did Oji Harbor get lost? Li Si was also shocked. The status of Ouji Port is the most important in Shandong! It is a springboard to attack Haeju from Wonju!

"A few days ago, Haizhou Taishou Ma Ji led his troops from the East China Sea to attack Ouji Port, the defenders were defeated, and Ouji Port fell."

"How could this Ma Ji send troops to attack my Ouji Port!" Li Si also said a word dizzily, fell off the horse, and fainted.

"Yuqing!"

"General!"

Pucheng.

Li Si also opened his eyes and looked at the cantilever beam on the roof, which was very familiar.

"Ah, wake up, wake up."

Li Si also heard a familiar voice, and turned his head to see that it was his wife Ye Ruzhi.

"Where am I? Madame, why are you here? Li Si also asked weakly.

"This is Pucheng, it was Kaiseki who sent you back, you know? I was horrified when he sent you back. Ye Ruzhi stroked Li Siye's forehead and chuckled, "Fortunately, you're fine." ”

"Pucheng? Pucheng? Li Si also shouted as if he had suddenly thought of something, "Army! What about the army? How's Oldie Harbor? ”

Seeing Li Siye's stunned appearance, Ye Ruzhi comforted: "You relax, the officers and soldiers of the three armies have retreated to Pucheng, when you are unconscious, the meeting of the three armies decided that General Situ will lead 8,000 troops to Mount Tai to station, in case the Chen army secretly attacks Mount Tai to attack Pucheng." ”

Li Si also listened, and the whole person leaned on Ye Ruzhi's arms as if he was wilting, "What March is trying to do is in vain, in vain!" ”

"My army is fighting for a port of Ouji, and it has been so hard to take it, how many months has it been? It's lost again! What a shame! Li Si also lamented.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the husband does not have to regret it, the future will be long." Ye Ruzhi caressed Li Siye's chest and comforted.

After being silent for a while, Li Si also cheered up and said, "Hey...... Mrs. Lao has informed the generals to come to the palace to discuss matters. ”

"Okay, I'll come when I go, and Xiaomei will send a bowl of white fungus soup later, you have to eat it." Ye Ruzhi told Li Siye before going out.

"Madame, don't worry."

Soon after Ye Ruzhi went out, the maid Xiaomei brought a bowl of white fungus soup, "My lord, this is the white fungus soup that my wife asked me to boil." ”

"Let it go."

"My lord, Madame told me to watch you finish drinking."

"Huh?" Li Si also frowned, but he still picked up the white fungus soup and drank it spoonful by spoonful.

In the autumn of the sixth year of Emperor Ye, the battle of Mangshan launched by the Xiang army against the Chen army finally ended in the defeat of the Xiang army, and the Chen army, under the leadership of the Dadu Governor Cangyuan, successfully blocked the attack of the Xiang army, and also recovered the vital port of Ouji, which greatly increased the difficulty of the Xiang army to move south from Wonju in a strategic sense.

Later, Yecheng and Suizhou City each spread rumors about the Battle of Mangshan, and Cangyuan and Li Si also drank and talked happily in front of the battle.

Most of the officials of the Xiang court impeached Li Siye for collaborating with the enemy, and asked Xiang Yu to send Li Siye to prison for questioning, but under the persuasion of Zhong Liyao and Fan Cheng, the matter was not resolved, and Xiang Yu also made a notice, and Li Siye's crime of sending troops without authorization and causing defeat was offset by his contribution to the capture of Pucheng.

In Suizhou City, there were countless courtiers who impeached Cangyuan against Chen Lingjian, and the twists and turns were all piled up with Chen Lingjian's royal case.

"Your Majesty, think about it, how heroic the Xiang army is, capturing Pucheng, taking Shangqiu, occupying Ouji, and committing Haizhou, our army has been defeated repeatedly, but as soon as this Cangyuan took office, he quickly repelled the Xiang army and recovered Ouji Port, but at this time, there was a secret report that Cangyuan was friends with the commander of the Xiang army on the front line, why is this?" Chen Lingjian's chamberlain said.

"Why?" Chen Lingjian looked at these impeachment notes and asked.

"It is said that Cangyuan is Xiang Yu's person, who came to join the army and serve the country in front of our Chen Guoming, but in fact, he secretly seized military power, and when Xiang Yu's army came to attack, he wanted to take down our Chen State in one fell swoop." The chamberlain said that these words were evidently instructed to be spoken to him, and the chamberlain was very glad to say them, and these two words were worth a thousand pieces of silver.

But Chen Lingjian didn't realize that this was a false accusation by his colleagues in the officialdom against Cangyuan, but he felt that he really should guard against Cangyuan.

But Cangyuan has merit, and he can't be convicted indiscriminately, so Chen Lingjian named Cangyuan as the Duke of Haiguo and changed to the position of Dasi Nong, which can be regarded as relieving Cangyuan of military power.
