That night, the three main generals in Kim Yong City met head-on.

Around the bonfire, Zhu Zhi's face was dark and uncertain, and Rui Zhi and Ling Cao were on the side, and the three of them were silent.

After a while, Ling Cao threw the firewood in his hand into the bonfire and said angrily:

"Don't speak? Aren't you two scared? ”

Firewood smashed into the campfire, stirring up a little spark.

Rui Zhi glared angrily and scolded the past directly:

"Ling Cao, if you can't speak, shut up. Am I Rui Zhi a person to be afraid of? When you fish on the river, we have already killed people, and you are allowed to spray feces here with me? ”

Ling Cao and Rui Zhi are not very harmonious.

Rui Zhi had no choice but to take someone down to rest by himself.

Ling Cao was silent, speechless.

"Gentlemen, you look at the salary, if it is a single one, it will easily be broken, and then you look at this."

"You go down, tomorrow you still have to guard the southern city. If you don't rest well tonight, I'm afraid you'll die in the city. ”

The anger in Rui Zhi's heart was indescribable, he grabbed Zhu Zhi's shoulders and asked:

In Rui Zhi's view, that Ling Cao is just a, a fish household exploited by the Yuliang officials, not appreciated by the handsome, he also deserves to sit with him?

But after rejoicing, he scolded secretly:

"This broken fish beam is really against us. What did Lao Zhu say or what I meant? If I say it, just take the color with me, Lao Zhu said, and you can listen to it. Isn't this against me, what? ”

At that time, Rui Zhi was still a bandit, and Zhu Zhi was a county official, it seemed that black and white were opposites, but in fact, you had me.

"Xiao Zhu has always been alert, it's okay. Otherwise, we will go down and rest first, and tonight we will burn the enemy's grain and grass, and tomorrow the Taishan army will definitely come to retaliate. If you don't take care of your body, you won't be able to stand it tomorrow. ”

……

Rui Zhi sighed, patted Zhu Zhi's shoulder, and explained:

At this moment, after the two scolded each other for a while, Rui Zhi, who still felt sensible, spoke seriously:

"Ling Cao, don't be reluctant. Think about how this Kim Yong Yong can hold up? None of us are afraid of death, and we will not stay here to fight the Taishan Army now. Isn't it good to go back to your hometown? So don't use this to smash us. But not being afraid of death does not mean that we are going to die. Have you ever wondered if the well hasn't been dug in this Kim Yong City until now? When the siege comes, we will die of thirst. Therefore, Ling Cao listens to the persuasion, you are no longer the one who has a bad life, and you still have your clan and tribe behind you. ”

"You see, just now the saber rattling, this will stand together and vent."

Although he couldn't kill a few people, after this operation, the Jianghuai soldiers were greatly boosted.

Therefore, Ling Cao was silent.

But Ling Cao suspiciously snatched the three firewoods in Zhu Zhi's hand, and then with a little force, the three firewoods were broken together.

So the officer said carefully:

"There are prisoners, but not many."

He suppressed his anger stiffly, and he turned to the officer who had just come to deliver the newspaper and asked:

"Do you have any prisoners in this battle?"

Zhu Zhi picked up the branch in his hand, and drew a rough shape on the ground with the shadow of the bonfire:

Then he called out to the officials around him:

"Get moving, go and prepare all the gold juice and fire oil for me, and serve those Tarzan crumbs well in a while."

Xu Huang's hands and feet were cold, and he gritted his teeth at the red sky teeth in the northwest:

"Rats! What a guts! ”

But at this time, Zhu Zhi suddenly changed his tone, squinted his eyes and said:

"So it's definitely not okay to defend to the death, we have to attack."

It may be that there is resentment in the heart, or it is the efficiency itself, anyway, when the Taishan army appeared outside Kyoto, this Kim Yong City did not even have a well, and no one reported it.

Zhu Zhi's whole face turned red with anger, and finally he couldn't help but scold:

"Ling Cao, I see you, you're just a stick."

"Shoot, shoot where you scream loudest, shoot the donkeys to death."

"Indeed, Lao Zhu, don't be stupid. This will need us. Our 3,500 Jianghuai children here are all handsome humerus, and we must not fight at this time. We must be responsible for the commander, and we must be responsible for the brothers. ”

But before they could get closer, they were bumped into by the secret sentry of the Tarzan army half a mile away. Then the nearby Taishan army You Yi quickly came to support, and after half a moment of fierce fighting, this Han army was annihilated.

After successfully evading the pursuit of the Taishan army, Zhu Zhi and the others finally retreated into Kim Yong City in disgrace.

His armor was wet with dew, but his eyes were fixed on the front.

In the northern city of Kim Yong Yong, after a night's rest, the Jianghuai soldiers were also full of energy, and after having breakfast at the head of the city, they waited for the north.

Zhu Zhi stirred the bonfire, was silent for a while, and finally spoke:

"Don't you know that there are no wells in the city?"

But Kim Yong Yong is located on an earthen plateau, and even though there is a waterway nearby, there must be groundwater, but it is too far away to dig through in a short period of time.

Rui Zhi looked at Zhu Zhi in surprise, not knowing what he was talking nonsense. And Ling Cao on the side was also stunned, he opened his mouth wide, waiting for Zhu Zhi to explain.

Listening to Ling Cao talk about the big handsome, Rui Zhi understood that this would only be useful if he pulled out the big handsome, and he accosted:

Seeing Ling Cao eating deflated, Rui Zhi was happy.

After speaking, Zhu Zhi picked up three roots, then pouted, did not pout, and then continued:

"And if we put our three sticks together, and people are breaking, can they break? As long as we are united, what if the Taishan army is outnumbered? This time, let them see how powerful our Jianghuai barbarians are! ”

The military officials couldn't figure out what Xu Huang meant. There must be a prisoner, but looking at the military master, he means implying that we don't have prisoners?

Their goal was the bulwark of the Tarzan army ahead.

In the middle of the night, a group of Han soldiers slid down the city of Kim Yong Castle and then sneaked along the mound.

"You see, this is the barracks of the Tarzan army outside the city. I had been observing during the day, and I found that they were mobilizing most of their forces to the other three sides, and the Tarzan army in front of my Kim Yong was at most 20,000 men, and it was very divided. That's why I want to go out and attack the camp tonight. ”

"Zhu Zhi, are you crazy? We can hold out for seven days with Kim Yong City. If you go out of the city, you will die and there will be no place to be buried. You're also an old fighter, do you think night battles are easy to fight? Although my Jianghuai Danyang disciples are good at fighting, they can find those who can fight at night, ten is two or three, in other words, there are less than a thousand people who can go out of the city to fight. With this amount of people, if you go to attack the Taishan army, you won't be able to do anything if you die. I disagree. ”

So when Zhu Zhi took the Jianghuai soldiers to station in Kim Yong Kim, he was stunned after looking around, and he never imagined that the solid wall outside had not even been repaired inside.

Zhu Zhi's face was ugly, and when he acted, he asked Zhu Huan to take a wave of Danyang soldiers to the northeast to create a riot. But now that they are back, Zhu Huan and they have no one to return, what does this mean.

Zhu Zhi shook his head and only said one sentence:

And as Rui Zhi expected, this Ling Cao is a soil hammer, and he will lose his temper, but he has no brains at all.

Ling Cao choked, scolded and scolded, and then ignored Zhu Zhi.

The heavenly fish belly will be white, and the camp of the Taishan army outside the city is noisy.

Zhu Zhi was still silent at the time, and then he listened to Rui Zhi continue:

"Now that all sides have fallen, we are left with the whole battlefield? How many of us are there? There are more than 3,000 people in the full fight, how many Taishan troops are outside? Nearly 100,000. How can this be kept? Therefore, it is still necessary to take advantage of the fact that the Taishan army did not encircle Kim Yong, and our army immediately moved to the city. ”

He asked Zhu Zhi suspiciously:

"Lao Zhu, your strength is small."

After reporting the situation here to Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun was furious and killed a group of craftsmen in charge of this matter, but the matter had to be resolved after all.

……

"You want to run?"

When he said this, he couldn't get angry.

Ling Cao didn't leave, and waited there with Zhu Zhi.

At this moment, Zhu Zhi suddenly laughed, he smiled and pointed at Ling Cao and Rui Zhi, and said with a smile:

Then, Zhu Zhi was by the campfire and told the two of them in detail about his plan.

Many people found that their main general, Zhu Zhi, was still standing at the head of the city, still motionless from the same position last night.

Soon, under a cloud of arrows, there was silence in the darkness.

After seeing the persuasion of Rui Zhidu, who was most opposed, Zhu Zhi suddenly broke the firewood in his hand, and then said:

For many of them, this simple breakfast meal is their last meal.

"We are returning to the city, our army is Zhu Shuai's children, and the marshal needs us by his side at this time."

"No, I'm here waiting for them to come back."

"Lao Zhu, we have to withdraw to the city."

"Mourning, it's all fate."

After Kim Yong Castle was built, Zhu Jun was busy with other things, so the rest of the city's facilities were left to the craftsmen to make by themselves.

Because he lost face.

If a modern person saw this scene, he would have nightmares, but for this generation 2,000 years ago, this is a real war.

So when Rui Zhi found Zhu Zhi, he was straightforward:

Zhu Zhi glanced at Rui Zhi, and then fainted to the ground.

Rui Zhi kept nodding his head, still repeating Zhu Zhi's words:

"So it's definitely not okay to stick to it, we're going to go. …… Well? …… Attack? ”

Only Zhu Zhi was still standing at the head of the city, facing north.

And Ling Cao regarded Rui Zhi as a bandit in the mountains, a habitual offender who was a permissive offender, and it was a shame for this kind of person to be able to blend into the Han army, not to mention that at this moment he also saw Rui Zhi's retreat.

Digging wells didn't work, so they could only store water, so when the Taishan army was busy, they took water from the moat outside the city, until now, there are three sides of clear water, which can be used by Kim Yong Yong for nine days.

Zhu Zhi squinted his eyes and asked:

The relationship between the two is much closer than Ling Cao, not to mention that both of them are from Danyang and have the friendship of fellow villagers, so it can be traced back to before joining the army.

Rui Zhi over there also realized the problem and helped explain:

But at this moment, the joy on their faces could not be hidden.

Even though they all come out of the same place, there are always many contradictions for one reason or another, and the two have very different temperaments and don't look down on each other.

Xu Huang, who received the results in the camp, couldn't help but smile at the surrounding generals:

"Little thief, stop this!"

In the end, Zhu Zhi said seriously:

"Do you think the boss needs us to stay outside the city, or does he need us to stay in the city? If the latter is more important, why do we need to go out of town? And as I said, it is difficult to hold at this moment, taking advantage of the enemy's imagination that our army will fight against the water, take the initiative to attack, as long as you do according to my plan, the Taishan army will be broken. ”

Rui Zhi corrects:

He looked at Zhu Zhi in disbelief, and asked tremblingly:

"Lao Zhu, you want to run too?"

"Call Ling Cao over and ask him what he means."

Nine days? It sounds like a long time, but in the months of sieges, it's pitifully short.

It turned out that in the location of the firelight, it was where part of the military rations of the Taishan army was located, which mainly supported the Taishan army in the west and north.

This is a bit against the military discipline of the Taishan army, and the king's camp is on the side of the North Mountain, so he doesn't dare.

Obviously, after suffering a big loss last night, the Taishan army is going to take revenge.

But Ling Cao didn't listen to such a long passage elsewhere, but he listened to the "we" that Rui Zhi said.

So, Rui Zhi, who felt that he was already in the majority, directly called Ling Cao over, and the three of them gathered around the bonfire to discuss the fate of Kim Yong Kim.

Zhu Zhi was silent, and finally said slowly:

Rui Zhi was also stunned for a moment, and replied strangely:

"Didn't he go out of town with you?"

……

What city does not have water to guard?

The military officials did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the order to go back.

There, on a tall cart, dozens of heads are being hung on bamboo poles. The heavy head bent the bamboo poles.

Although this bit of military ration is not much for the Taishan army, it is very important to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang ignored the caution of the military officials, and only commanded:

"Go and torture them, and find out who the defenders of Kim Yong City are for me?"

……

Zhu Zhi also pursed his lips and smiled, but he swept around the city, but he didn't see his subordinate general, so he asked Rui Zhi who stayed behind:

"Lao Rui, didn't you see Zhu Huan?"

At that time, the Taishan army had already advanced to Beibi Mountain, and it was too late to recruit people on a large scale. So Zhu Jun let Zhu Zhi chisel first.

This is really a land of success, and a land of defeat.

The surrounding warriors, especially some cavalry generals of the Flying Tiger Army, asked for battle to find those rats, but Xu Huang stopped them.

Then he saw that the northwest of him was blazing and full of smoke.

Looking at Zhu Zhi, who was carried down, Rui Zhi shook his head and sighed that this person was too emotional.

And the strange thing is that Ling Cao, who has always been reluctant to retreat, will not agree, he shook his head and muttered:

"The marshal has ordered that our army is not allowed to go out of the city to fight."

In fact, before the three of them met, Rui Zhi went to Zhu Zhi alone.

But fortunately, Ling Cao finally listened to the persuasion, otherwise this matter would be troublesome.

Listening to the shouting and scolding of the Taishan army in the black place below, Rui Zhi gave an order to the archers on the head of the city:

That's right, Ling Cao is very accurate in looking at people.

With his explanation, Rui Zhi's faces slowly softened, and after speaking, Rui Zhi sighed:

"Lao Zhu, you are really crazy."

But at this moment, he did not raise any further objections.

The reason for this is not complicated, Zhu Jun only gave the order after Guo Gong's death and understood that the gap between the two armies in field strength was too large.

It wasn't until he yawned a few times himself that Zhu Zhi ordered Ling Cao with red eyes:

After saying that, the three of them laughed.

At that time, when Kim Yong Cheng was built, Zhu Jun spent a lot of energy, and he was supervising the construction of the whole process. The people below the master craftsman were whipped by the whip, and they didn't dare to slack off at all, and they completed the construction of Kim Yong City in a row.

The two blushed, but did not refute.

All the Jianghuai children shouted in unison.

In this way, the hunting flag fluttered on the city of Kim, waiting for the thunderous strike of the Taishan army.
