Zhao Wu thought that if the emperor knew that he still had a son alive and well, he was afraid that it would be more effective than any panacea.

He pondered for a moment, picked up his pen and wrote a reply to the emperor.

As soon as Zhao Wu sent the letter out, an urgent report came from outside, saying that Wei Qi had led troops to attack the city of Lizhou, and asked him to quickly lead troops to rescue.

"Who's the striker?"

The soldier who reported the message said: "...... Yang commanded the envoy. ”

Zhao Wu smiled coldly, picked up his spear and strode out.

Xianghua hadn't fallen asleep since she received the urgent letter from Mobao, and finally stayed up until the day was bright, so she hurriedly got up and went to Zhufu.

Zhu Zhizhi also didn't sleep all night, he first heard that the emperor was not very good, in case the emperor drove the crane west, they had to be ready to enter the palace at any time. Later, when he heard that Zhangzhou and Lizhou had already fought, he couldn't sleep anymore.

"Good luck to you." Xianghua saluted him first.

Zhu Lianzhi smiled: "I know that I am not the only one who can't sleep in this city. ”

Xianghua was embarrassed to open her mouth and asked how Lizhou was, so she asked: "The emperor is now safe?" ”

Zhu Lianzhi said: "It was said that it was suddenly better at dawn, and now I can drink the medicine." The imperial doctor said that if you can drink the medicine, it should be fine within three to five days. ”

Xianghua nodded.

"Lizhou and Zhangzhou have been fighting for a while, but with General Zhao in charge, I don't think it hurts." Zhu Lianzhi sat down and said.

Xianghua didn't think it was so simple, "Do you still remember Zhao Tao and Lord Zhao is still in Wei Qi's hands?" ”

"Naturally, I remember." Zhu Lianzhi said, "But General Zhao and Yang Yuli should be together, and there will be nothing wrong." ”

Xianghua was not very relieved, and asked, "I wish the adults so sure?" ”

Zhu Lianzhi said with a smile: "You believe me, Yang Yu has a few flowery intestines in that kid's stomach, and General Zhao can feel it clearly." The cooperation between the two of them is seamless, and I just hate that I can't go to Lizhou to see it in person, which is a big pity. ”

Xianghua was skeptical. She knew that Zhao Wu had taught Yang Yu a lot, but the two really had such a tacit understanding?

When the prefect of Lizhou found out that the army in front of the door was pressing, he was so frightened that the hot tea he had just drunk turned into a cold sweat, and all of it flowed out. He immediately ordered the city gates to be guarded, and sent someone to deliver a message to Zhao Wu in Pennsylvania on the fastest horse.

Yang Yu, as a striker, would definitely make Wei Qi suspicious, so he asked people to climb through the city wall with a rope ladder, and used a big wooden stake at the city gate to rush to death.

No matter how cautious and proper the prefect of Lizhou is, there are only 5,000 soldiers under his command, and their two fists are invincible to four hands, and they have struggled to support for an hour, and the gate of Lizhou is still slammed open.

Yang Yu rushed in with people, and the snow-white steed man stood up and neighed: "If you are captured, you will not hurt your life!" ”

This was also discussed between him and Wei Qi. If Wei Qi wants to fight all the way to the capital, the soldiers under his command are far from enough, if he can recruit all the way, not only has a good reputation, but also can replenish the troops.

The prefect of Lizhou had received a secret letter from Zhao Wu before, asking him not to stubbornly resist, and to delay time as much as possible.

Wei Qi was very happy to see it, Lizhou really lives up to its name, it is a piece of fat in Jiangnan.

The prefect of Lizhou asked, "What will happen to the prince next?" ”

Wei Qi glanced at him, "Naturally, we want to take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”

"But now that General Zhao Wu is stationed in Pennsylvania, Pennzhou and Lizhou are not far apart, presumably the generals already know the news here, and they may be on the way at this time."

Wei Ping asked, "Is there a suitable place for an ambush on this road?" ”

The prefect of Lizhou spread out the map to show them: "Lord and Your Highness, please see, although there are hills along the way from Lizhou to Zhangzhou, the overall terrain is flat, and it may not be appropriate to ambush them." ”

"What about you?" Wei Qi saw that he was a little smart, so he asked.

The prefect of Lizhou twisted his beard and said slowly: "It's better for us to wait here for the rabbit, Lizhou is already easy to defend and difficult to attack." The lower officials are dull, but the prince and His Royal Highness are wise, if there are two of them stationed here, it will be difficult for even General Zhao to take them down easily. ”

Wei Qi nodded when he heard this, and asked Yang Yudao: "General Yang has been by General Zhao's side for many years, do you think what the prefect said is reasonable?" ”

Yang Yu said with a smile: "General Zhao has always believed that 'the soldiers are expensive and fast', and they must have set off at this time, although the morale of our army is currently high, but 'then decline and exhaustion', if the two armies meet, I am afraid the chances of victory are not high." ”

Wei Qi and Wei Ping discussed for a while, and also thought that the two of them were reasonable, Wei Qi said: "Then let's camp here first, order to guard the city gate and city walls, prepare fire oil rockets, if anyone attacks the city, there will be no mercy!" ”

Zhao Wu was still on the way, so he sent someone to explore the road first, and sure enough, he learned that Lizhou had been occupied by Wei Qi.

"Tell me to rest and recuperate, and then move after dark."

Zhao Lei asked: "Why don't the generals capture Lizhou in one go and take the first rank of Weiqi?" Even if Wei Qi and Wei Ping personally lead the troops, you and Yang Yu join forces, and you don't have to worry that they can escape. ”

Zhao Wu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't underestimate Wei Qi, you don't know how many hole cards he has until the last moment." ”

When night fell, the soldiers who had worked hard all day in Lizhou City gradually relaxed, and the prefect of Lizhou kindly sent a lot of delicious things, and even gave up his yard to Wei Qiwei to hold it, which caused many people to scold.

Yang Yu did not rest, he stood on the city wall and looked around, occasionally using the "clairvoyant". The surroundings seemed normal, but he noticed a light or two not far away, very faint, but flickering and dimming, and he could see it clearly.

He counted the number and length of this light cave in his heart, and also understood what Zhao Wu was going to pass on.

- Don't be merciful, capture the thief and capture the king.

After Yang Yu got down the city wall, he asked Cheng Gouyu: "I asked you to bring all the things to Zhao Tao, but you have brought them over?" ”

Cheng Gou Yu said proudly: "It's been done a long time ago." ”

Yang Yu patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Cheer up, it's time to do it." ”

Cheng Gou Yu touched his knife: "It's been ready for a long time, my knife is going to rust!" ”

Yang Yu whispered a few more words to him, asking him to remind Cheng Tiezhu and several other team leaders, but in a moment, several soldiers guarding the city wall were silently shot down by arrows, Yang Yu pretended to find it suddenly, and shouted "Be vigilant, there is an enemy situation", Wei Qi and Wei Ping immediately came out of the house.

I saw that many people had climbed up the city wall, and the city gate was also slammed.

Wei Qi drew his sword and shouted, "Hold on! If there is a retreat, it will not be spared! Yang Yu you immediately lead people and repel them from the city wall! ”

Yang Yu took the order, and Wei Ping also went to the other side to defend the city.

Wei Qi saw that the city gate could not be guarded, so he grabbed the prefect of Lizhou and said: "Call all your officers and soldiers, and the men in the city also come!" ”
