"Okay, it's too late to say anything now" Sun Bin walked into the big tent and said to Tian Ji.

"Then tell me, what should I do in the future?" Tian Ji also knew that he shouldn't lose his temper, but the current situation made him helpless.

"Taking advantage of the fact that Yan Guo does not know the news of Shangling's loss, tomorrow's soldiers will divide into two routes, march quickly, and rush to Jingcheng before Yan Guo is ready, and take Yan Guo in one fell swoop. ”

"Alright, you all go down and make arrangements. Tomorrow is a hasty march, and no one is allowed to hold back. Tian Ji waved his hand and asked all the soldiers to retreat and make their own arrangements.

"Why are you suddenly so interested in this expedition, haven't you always opposed it before?" Tian Ji asked.

"I can't help it. I disagree, but you've already started attacking. What can I say? I can only find a way to end this war as soon as possible, what else can I do?" Sun Bin said with a calm face.

"You're not telling the truth, this doesn't look like your style?" Tian Ji said, he always felt that today's Sun Bin was weird.

"Don't you feel it?"

"What?"

"A storm is coming. Sun Bin looked at the outside of the tent and couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it so serious?" Tian Ji looked at Sun Bin's appearance, a little worried.

"I hope I'm overly worried. That's why I'm going to divide you into two ways. It's because an ominous feeling always arises in my mind, and I have a feeling that if we can't take Jingcheng quickly, we will fall into this quagmire. ”

"Alright then, as you said, we will each bring a team tomorrow, march quickly, and end this war as soon as possible. so as not to cause extraneous branches. ”

On the second day, Tian Ji and Sun Bin each led a road of soldiers and horses, divided into two roads, and went straight to Jingcheng. At this moment, there is chaos in Jingcheng. The support for Yan Zhaogong led by General Le Yi and the support for Yan Shaogong led by Zuo Xiang. The two sides are evenly matched.

At the beginning, both sides were sarcastic and sarcastic to each other, of course, Yan Shaogong, led by Zuo Xiang, was always on the favorable side. After all, they are all literati, and they are all covered with flowers.

At a court meeting, a small official under Zuo Xiang said a little too much, and was punched to death by Le Yi, who was angry, and then Zuo Xiang's gang reined in. The two sides are on an equal footing with each other.

However, Le Yi and Zuo Xiang controlled the struggle within a certain atmosphere, and they didn't want to divide the Yan Kingdom because of the struggle for power, making them the sinners of the Yan Kingdom.

Tian Ji and Sun Bin did not spare any effort along the way, and attacked Gancheng, Xingcheng, Lü Shun, Zecheng and so on. These cities were breached in a daze. In their hearts, how could the Qi army break through Shangling, and how could it suddenly appear in front of them.

You must know that Tian Ji and Sun Bin threw away all unnecessary things in a hurry, and only rested for two hours every day on the march, so they rushed in front of the fugitive people who dragged their families from Shangling.

Due to the god-like speed of the Qi soldiers, the court has not received any reports of defeat, and all the people are sleeping peacefully, not knowing what it will be like for them to open their eyes in their sleep and find a knife holder on their necks.

On this day, it was time for Zuo Xiang and Le Yi to discuss who would be the new monarch. The left minister came to the court early. He's red today. In the past few days, he has prepared his rhetoric well, specially prepared for today's court meeting, just to let Yan Shaogong ascend to the position of the new monarch. After all, Yan Shaogong is the son of his sister. If Yan Shaogong becomes the new monarch, then his power will be greater.

The left minister and the ordinary civil officials were all talking in the court. Normally, at this moment, the generals dominated by Yi Le Yi should have arrived in the court, but today has not come yet, Zuo Xiang couldn't help but ponder in his heart: Could it be that Le Yi gave up helping Yan Zhao Gong fight for the position of the new king. It's impossible to think about it, after all, Yan Zhaogong is the son of Le Yi's sister, how could he give up like this? Or is something happened to Le Yi? Thinking of this, Zuo Xiang's heart couldn't help but tremble. You must know that Le Yi is the pinnacle of Yan Guo, once Le Yi has an accident, in this chaotic moment, it may make Yan Guo enter the most dangerous moment.

"Report, urgent military situation" It was a soldier who ran in panting.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" said Zuo Xiang anxiously as he looked at the soldier

"Report to the left minister, Shangling missed, and the whole army was wiped out without a hundred miles. ”

"What? How is this possible? When did it happen? Didn't you just receive a military report that the Qi army was attacking Shangling a few days ago, and it was only a few days? How could Shangling miss?" asked Zuo Xiang expressionlessly. You must know that Shangling is the gateway to Yan Kingdom, once Shangling misses, the Qi army can drive straight into Jingcheng, then Jingcheng will be dangerous.

And the sergeant's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to answer Zuo Xiang's question.

"Report, urgent military situation" At this time, another soldier ran in panting.

"What's going on?" shouted to the sergeant

"Report that Zuo Xiang, Gancheng, Xingcheng, Lü Shun, and Zecheng have been lost, and the Qi army is coming in the direction of Jingcheng. ”

"What? How can it be so fast? The defenders of Gancheng, Xingcheng, Lü Shun, and Zecheng are all eating dry food, why there is no news at all, and the Qi army took the four cities at once. Zuo Xiang's face was angry, and he spoke with a little trill.

Before Zuo Xiang could wake up from the news, he saw another sergeant running in panting.

Before the sergeant could speak, Zuo Xiang said, "What's the urgent military situation?" ”

"Zuo Xiang, the Qi army has arrived at the foot of Jingcheng City. ”

"What?" Hearing the news, Zuo Xiang collapsed a little, and his body fell backwards involuntarily, and he was quickly supported by a few quick-eyed scribes, so as to avoid fainting directly to the ground.

"The one who told the general to close the gates. Pay close attention to the movements of the Qi army and report it at all times. ”

"Yes. ”

After all, Zuo Xiang has assisted Yan Chenggong for so many years and has experienced a lot of winds and waves. It's just that I was a little caught off guard by the news at the time, but I reacted and immediately arranged everything.

After Zuo Xiang finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Le Yi, at this time, only Le Yi could save Yan Guo. Unexpectedly, in order to fight for power, the two of them let Qi take the opportunity to attack them, and he almost became a sinner in history.

"Where is General Le Yi?" quickly, who knows?" asked Zuo Xiang, grabbing the collar of a person beside him.

"This, when I went to the court in the morning, I saw that many generals went to General Le Yi's general's mansion. I think General Le Yi must be in the General's Palace. ”

Zuo Xiang pondered for a while, and then understood that Le Yi must have received the news earlier than himself, and asked those generals to go to his mansion to discuss countermeasures. It seems that my efforts these days have been in vain. This time, he could only bow his head and let Yan Zhaogong succeed to the new monarch. Thinking of this, Zuo said to the hundred officials beside him:

"Okay, you will immediately go to the General's Mansion with me and ask General Le Yi to preside over the general trend. ”

After speaking, he took everyone towards General Le Yi's mansion.

When I came to the gate of the General's Mansion, I saw that it was crowded with all kinds of carriages. Zuo Xiang and the others had to dismount and walk to the general's mansion.

Without waiting for the report of the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, Zuo Xiang and the others rushed directly into the mansion, after all, the matter was urgent, and Zuo Xiang couldn't afford to think about it so much.

Le Yi also received the news that Zuo Xiang was coming with hundreds of officials.

Le Yi led Zuo Xiang to the lobby, and everyone sat down together. But no one spoke. Zuo Xiang knows that this mouth is opened by itself.

"General, the Qi army has surrounded Jingcheng. I don't know what you have in mind?"

"On the one hand, we must immediately let the new monarch succeed to the throne and stabilize the government and the opposition. Le Yi said this, then stopped and looked at the left minister.

"This general, we have already discussed it, and we are willing to support Yan Zhaogong as the new monarch. Zuo Xiang understood what Le Yi meant, and first mentioned it. After saying this, Zuo Xiang suddenly felt a lot older, and a feeling of vicissitudes came to his heart.

"We are also willing to support Yan Zhaogong as the new monarch. The rest of the civil officials also learned to say to the left minister. They understood that from now on, they had to do things according to Yan Zhaogong's requirements.

"Okay, since that's the case, you go to Yan Zhaogong and tell him that tomorrow let him succeed to the throne" Le Yi pointed to a personal guard beside him and said.

"Yes, General"

"Now is a time of crisis, tomorrow the new monarch will succeed to the throne, everything is simple. ”

"You and other civil officials headed by Zuo Xiang collect good grain and grass for the army, and at the same time call on the people in the city to help defend the city and do their part. We need to prepare for the worst. ”

"You and other generals, each perform his duties, strengthen the defense tightly, leave half of the people in reserve, and all the others enter the city wall to do a good job of protection. ”

"That's it, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow, and you'll all go back and prepare. ”

is really worthy of being a famous general in Yan State, and the situation will be stabilized in a few simple words.
