When Sun Jian ordered people to attack the Gao wolf. Lu Zhi's army has also completed the siege of Lishi City. The two coaches, Zhao Xing and Lu Zhi, finally met again after a seven-year absence.

Thinking back to the past, Lu Zhicheng and Zhao Xing said that "when they meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be a situation of endless death!", and now it has come true, which really makes people feel that the world is impermanent, and the cycle repeats.

As for how to deal with Lu Zhi, Zhao Xing thought more than once or twice. As a political enemy, Lu Zhi is Zhao Xing's number one opponent who must be defeated or even eliminated, and with Lu Zhi in the middle of the court, Zhao Xing will have to bear a great threat.

Political struggles often have no morality and bottom line to talk about, especially among the Han people who are good at intrigue, Shang Yang changed the law, burned books and pit Confucianism, and the disaster of the party...... There are too many examples to prove that it is necessary to eliminate not only political opponents mentally, but also physically and from relatives and friends. Zhao Xing understands this truth very well, but when he starts to do it, it is still difficult to cross the bottom line in his heart.

Zhao Xing's shadow team members are all over the country and are capable. Especially Xue Lan, Hou Cheng, Bian Xi, Hua Weiguo, Zhao Hu and others are definitely good at intelligence assassination, if they want to attack Lu Zhi and others with all their hearts, it is not without a chance, it is just a big deal to lose some manpower. Even said that if Zhao Xing was willing, he could appoint top masters like Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to Luoyang, and I believe that the two of them would not refuse.

But Zhao Xing just didn't want to do this, he vaguely remembered that someone once said something to the effect that any power obtained through improper means would eventually be eliminated by others by improper means. Zhao Xingshen thought so. In fact, playing politics also requires a moral bottom line and integrity, and the use of dishonorable means to brutally and brutally eliminate dissidents has been proven countless times by history to be undesirable.

Especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when science and technology were underdeveloped and productivity was low, it took a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to cultivate an excellent politician like Lu Zhi. Just because he is Zhao Xing's political enemy, he has to get rid of it, not only does Lang need talent, but it is also very important - if you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do it. In order to eliminate Lu Zhi today, Zhao Xing used some unsavory methods, and others will follow suit in the future, using more covert and drastic methods to deal with Zhao Xing and the people around him.

Since he couldn't start from the secret, Zhao Xing had to find a way to defeat Lu Zhi on the frontal battlefield. Zhao Xing even envisioned that in the future, all opponents with opposing views would be exiled to a certain island country in the east, so that they could see the Han become powerful in their own hands, and the people would be able to live a stable and steady life, and would no longer be arbitrarily bullied by foreign races, and would not be starved to death and frozen to death.

But Zhao Xing thought about it, when the original emperor just sent Xu Fu a magic stick to Dongying with five hundred boys and girls, it brought so much disaster to China. If ruthless characters like Lu Zhi, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei are banished to the past, maybe how much trouble will be caused. So Zhao Xing thought in his heart: In the future, it is better to confine all political enemies in Crouching Tiger City and be with Ding Yuan, at least he has not been killed, and he is good at eating and drinking, and he can explain the past to the people of the world!

Lu Zhi's army is besieging the city, and Zhao Xing is still thinking about these things, which is really speechless.

In fact, Zhao Xing was not the only one who was speechless, Lu Zhi and a group of generals under him, when they saw the well-defended Lishi City for the first time, it was called a speechless. Zhao Xing repaired Keiguan and Huguan like iron buckets, and even built Lishicheng tall and sturdy, which was daunting, and the confidence in his heart was a little less.

Zhao Xing actually didn't aim at this siege of the imperial army and annexed the state, so he built Lishicheng so strongly. He recruited a large number of people who had nothing to do in their spare time to fortify and build cities in various places, and his purpose was nothing more than twofold. The first is to prevent problems before they occur, after all, there is always a threat of nomads in the north of the state, and the second is to solve the problem of employment and income of the common people, so that the young and strong labor force will not be idle and expensive.

Although Lu Zhi rushed to the foot of Lishi City with 70,000 people, and there were 20,000 people led by Pang De and Yan Yan not far away, he still seemed very cautious and cautious when facing Lishi City, which was guarded by Zhao Xing himself. After all, where Zhao Xing is there, not only will the morale of the army and the people be more stable, but also the people of several other cities and the Zhao army will also be inspired and infected. Judging from Zhao Xing's almost undefeated performance in the past, he has never fought blindly with others, this time he dared to trap Lishi alone, and there must be a backhand waiting for the imperial court alliance.

Looking at the Zhao Ziqi fluttering high at the head of the stone city, as well as the soldiers with calm faces and standing at the head of the city like a mountain, Lu Zhi felt that he had no confidence for the first time. If you pay the lives of 70,000 soldiers of the Northern Army, you can get rid of Zhao Xing, the biggest hidden danger of the Han Dynasty, and Lu Zhi can definitely do this with a ruthless heart. However, if 70,000 soldiers died, Zhao Xing would still not be wiped out, and the elite of the imperial court would be lost in this battle, and I don't know how many more Zhao Xing would come out.

It's not that Lu Zhiqi is worried, he now feels more and more that some of what Zhao Xing said at the beginning is not unreasonable. The emperor of the Han dynasty has always been obsessed with playing with power, playing with relatives, eunuchs, party members and families in his hands, and few of them really care about the life and death of the people in the world. And the emperor is weaker than the other, and he often puts himself into it if he wants to play conspiracy and tricks, which is really not as good as a nest. On the other hand, Zhao Xing governed the land of the annexed state in an orderly manner, and the people were happy and prosperous, which was comparable to the most prosperous state in the Han Dynasty. Sometimes, Lu Zhi couldn't help but think that if the Han was under Zhao Xing's governance, it might be much better than now.

Although Lu Zhi had some doubts in his heart, they were only doubts, which could not shake his determination to resolutely and completely eliminate Zhao Xing. After the 70,000 northern troops arrived at their respective attack positions, Lu Zhi did not delay for even a moment, and immediately ordered the army to attack the city on all sides at the same time.

Gao Ran and Deng Zhi were in charge of attacking the south gate of Lishicheng with 15,000 men; Zhang Fei and Yang Yi were in charge of attacking the north gate of Lishicheng with 15,000 men; in charge of attacking the east gate of Lishicheng were Deputy Marshal Sect Member and Han Meng, with another 15,000 men; and Lu Zhi himself was in charge of attacking the west gate of Lishicheng, with 25,000 men under his command, including the young generals Fu Wei and Zhu Ling.

The distribution of generals on these four gates was also determined by Lu Zhi after careful consideration. Not far from the south gate is the county seat of Zhongyang, Pang De and Yan Yan are in this direction, and it is safer to hand it over to Gao Ran; in the distance of the north gate is the Gao Wolf City, which is handed over to the fierce general Zhang Fei to attack, which can prevent the Zhao army from coming from the Gao Wolf to attack and disturb, and do not worry about Zhao Xing leaving from the north gate; the far away of the east gate is the hinterland of Bingzhou, in case there is a Zhao army coming to reinforce, the sect member and Han Meng can resist. The most dangerous is naturally the West Gate, which Lu Zhi is personally responsible for, because the West Gate has to bear the pressure from the three directions of Lin County, Gaowolf and Zhongyang, so the number of troops deployed is also the largest.

With 14,000 vanguard troops, Zhao Xing had to defend four city walls at the same time, and the pressure he was under could be imagined.
