When the general heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, "I have long heard that the emperor of Chu acted unexpectedly, and when I saw it today, it was really the case, not to mention that the general's life was not worth the life of the king of Yunnan, even if I wanted to arrive, I had to ask you if the soldiers behind me were willing, this general has always believed that life can create more value, so the emperor should not say such things again." ”

"The general is really alive and transparent, just like the defenders of the two cities of Ningyang, today you and I meet the two armies, there will be a battle. ”

He Zhongqing shouted, "The demon girl is not ashamed to speak out, if you hadn't made the treacherous plan first, where would it be your turn to show off your power here, now you are weak, and you dare to be arrogant." ”

Sister Yan is naturally too lazy to take care of such a villain.

Zhao Kai said, "The general who escaped from the war, and dared to speak bravely, it is better to go back to your mother and stay." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the Chu army, which showed that the Chu army was not nervous.

Zhao Kai continued, "It's not clear who is weak at the moment, but the general should have a calculation in his heart. ”

He Zhongqing saw that there were no ambushes in the Chu State, and that the troops on his side were twice as strong as the Chu army, and there were many experienced veterans present, so he would not suffer, and shouted, "I think you are afraid." ”

Sister Yan's side, I don't want to consume a lot of troops so quickly, among the 100,000 Chu troops today, there are a total of 60,000 cavalry, and the cavalry has the strongest combat effectiveness, and the reinforcements of Yuyang Pass only bring 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry, although they are outnumbered, there are still half of the defeated troops in Ningyang Second City.

Even if the Chu army is the strongest army of the five countries, in the face of such a combination as the Jin army, even if they have a large number of people, if they want to annihilate the Chu army, they will have to pay a great price, and if the Jin country wants to hold Yuyang Pass, it can't consume too much, because it takes time to send reinforcements and reinforcements to arrive, and the Chu army already has a large number of troops outside Yuyang Pass, they can't gamble.

Jin Guo saw that the Chu army was arrogant and looked dead, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately.

But the generals have to think too much, Yuyang Pass is the top priority, and they can't be sloppy.

At this time, someone rode a horse and galloped to report, saying that a sentry had discovered that a large number of Chu troops were going to Yuyang Pass.

It turned out that the person sent by Sister Yan to report the news to the left army had not yet arrived, and the left army had already entered the city, and the main general rushed to Yuyang Pass with the army according to the previous agreement, and was discovered by the dense sentry set up by General Zhang.

However, at the same time, the army on the left also discovered them, and after arresting people and asking, it turned out that the Yuyang guard would take the army to Pingcheng to support.

Some generals suggested that while the main general of Yuyang Guanzhong was not there and Guanzhong was empty, he would go to a surprise attack first.

Sun Xiang, the main general on the left, thought for a moment and decided to turn back to help Pingcheng, because the emperor would definitely not ignore the Chu army attacking Pingcheng and would not use them as bait.

The emperor can't have an accident, and the state of Chu is not ready to start a full-scale war with the state of Jin, so if the Yuyang Pass is taken, it will only make it difficult for the above, if the emperor division takes a large army and the Jin army encounters and sets off a big war, then the state of Chu will produce a large number of unexpected casualties, which must be avoided at present.

On the one hand, the elite of special training was sent to continue to move forward, clear the dark posts, and disturb the judgment of the Jin generals, and then with an order, the 100,000 army turned around and headed for Pingcheng.

He Zhongqing had been instigating General Zhang to order a rush to kill and kill Xie Ziyan, but after hearing the news, the cold sweat on his back remained, could it be that Sister Xie was really clever and sent someone to attack Yuyang Pass?

After waiting for a while, but there is only this one report, it is said that there should be other letters, so it may be that the Chu army has been wiped out all the way, according to the report, there should be a group of Chu troops behind Xie Jieyan, and the Jin army will be in a very passive state at that time.

Looking at the Chu army on the opposite side, who was not flustered at all, the Jin army could not afford the risk of losing Yuyang Pass.

General Zhang said, "Both the emperor and the general have some scruples, but even if the general brings people back to Yuyang Pass after the first battle, it will be too late, but the general doesn't want to take such a risk, how about the emperor give up Pingcheng and leave?"

"Oh, do you think the general wants to get rid of this seat quickly?"

General Zhang didn't answer and asked, "The emperor sent troops privately this time, right? Even if the emperor's position in the Chu State is stable, it will be meritorious, if the Chu army loses too much, it will also be charged, and the emperor will still accept it when he sees it." ”

Zhang Ling saw that the Jin army had the upper hand, but he took the initiative not to fight, only to understand why the emperor said so many words to them, it turned out that they were all testing each other, it was really difficult for the emperor to be calm, if he was on his own, I am afraid that the words would not be clear, after all, the life and death of tens of thousands of people are in his own hands.

They thought that the emperor had already planned to abandon Pingcheng and avoid fighting, so they negotiated with the Jin army.

Sister Yan's real plan is very complicated, and there are too many things to consider.

Sister Yan said to Zhao Kai, "Pass the order, retire." ”

Zhao Kai made a gesture, the army was drummed three times, the army automatically changed the formation, divided into three strands, Sister Yan and others postponed, the three armies took care of each other, if there is an enemy rushing up at this time, such a formation can also adjust the enemy's formation as soon as possible.

The whole process was orderly, and the soldiers were the first to carry out the order when they received the order, and from a retreat, you could see the quality of the Chu army.

After the army slowly withdrew from a certain range, Sister Yan and the others turned around in the direction of the pro-army guards, and before turning around, Sister Yan glanced at He Zhongqing, her eyes were full of coldness, He Zhongqing saw it, and immediately lowered her head.

General Zhang watched them retreat with a serious face, and waited for Xie Jieyan and the others to withdraw before he said, "The terrible thing about the Chu army is that they are all rigorous and cautious. The soldiers are brave, and the commander cherishes the soldiers, such an army, I can't reach the army. ”

He Zhongqing came out and asked, "It can be seen that the boss cherishes the soldiers, and Sister Xie is a ruthless demon girl." ”

"According to our news, there were only 60,000 Chu troops in Pingcheng here, so Sister Xie should have come to support, I think she was an unruly person, so she didn't care about any crimes, but in order to avoid a big war, she still chose to retreat, which is the rare thing. Fortunately, two died, and she was the only one left, otherwise the plan of Shang and Jin would have failed again. ”

"Hmph, it's just a woman, even if she takes the five cities with many tricks, she will still have to return it in the future, and we still want the Chu State to take fifty cities to make amends. ”

The general didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore.

After seeing the Chu army retreat for a distance, the Pingcheng army opened the city gate, and the general ordered 100,000 troops to repair in the outer place, and the others went into the city to help.

After entering, there were corpses as far as the wood could see, and the blood had soaked the ground.

Everyone was very sad, and they couldn't wait to catch up now to take revenge on the Chu army.

The general ordered to dispose of the corpses of the Heijo army, take care of the wounded, and collect the remnants of the army.

The frightened people watched them silently, and before they could come back to their senses in fright, they were at a loss, just stunned.

The child's crying was the only sound in the drewness.

The general sighed, "Everyone is saved, don't be afraid." ”

Mothers hurriedly comforted their children, and there were old people in tears, these ordinary people may never have thought that there would be such a cruel day.

Many young and strong people also went up to the castle tower with swords and guns to help the defenders, and many went up and never came down.

After settling down the Pingcheng army, the general said, "Everyone pack up and follow me back to the pass for refuge, the Chu army is eyeing Pingcheng, and they will come again." ”

Everyone thought silently for a moment, and some people chose to pack up the softness, use carts, use burdens, carry the food at home, and follow the army to Guannai.

Others, when they return to their homes, close the door, cook a pot of porridge, soothe and soothe their family's frightened stomachs, and choose to go home and wait for an unknown fate.

Pingcheng, abandoned, left home, where can they go? Without a large army to defend it, the people of Chu should not do anything to the common people, forget it, let's stay.

For those who want to stay, the general has no choice but to let the soldiers help the people carry their things and help carry the old people and children.

The army moved the military rations from the treasury and surrounded tens of thousands of people and went to the pass, leaving behind a sparsely populated city.

This lonely city can't be saved, that's all.

After the army had been gone for a long time, Sister Yan's follow-up army had also arrived.

Sister Yan did not go far with the Chu army, but waited fifty miles outside the city.

She knew that under the trade-off, General Zhang Da would not risk defending Pingcheng.

I didn't expect him to take the people with him.

"This General Zhang is indeed a good general. ”

The Chu army successfully took Pingcheng without spending a single soldier.

My sister gave a death order not to harm the people.

The people peeked at those hateful Chu soldiers through the cracks in the door, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Two or three hours later, the army on the left arrived desperately.

Knowing the whole story, all the soldiers had to admire the emperor's strategy.

Since then, in less than six days, the Chu army has taken the five cities outside Yuyang Pass of the Jin State, and the army has formed a confrontation with Yuyang Pass.

Neither army dared to act rashly.

Ten days later, 200,000 reinforcements arrived at Yuyang Pass, and 100,000 Zhuzhou troops from King Ling arrived in southern Xinjiang, and both countries increased their troops.

As soon as the king of Ling moved, the other vassal kings of Chu naturally had no reason to refuse to send troops, but there were not as many as the king of Ling, and the three vassal kings were 50,000 each, and the vassal king did not personally bring troops like the king of Ling.

The army of the vassal king was still dispatched by the old marquis, and the Zhuzhou army of the king of Ling and his sister Yan joined forces and were stationed in a hundred miles outside Yuyang Pass.

Nan Qi has not yet arrived in southern Xinjiang, he has already heard about the achievements of the Chu army, and his heart has long been boiling, and now that he has arrived in southern Xinjiang, he first went to the palace to meet his mother and younger brother, and the two of them have been waiting for a long time.

The princess also knew that the war was urgent, and took her sons to bury the king of Yunnan in the place that had been chosen.

With the edict in hand, Nan Qi is naturally the new king of Yunnan, and the princess personally put on armor for her two sons, and her eyes were wet before she could speak.

"You two brothers, in the future, you must help each other, trust each other, and wait for your mother here to come back. ”

The two brothers knelt down and kowtowed three times in unison, "Follow your mother's teachings, and the child is gone." ”

The two took the personal soldiers of the Yunnan palace and rushed to the current Chu army camp.
