"What my son-in-law means is that if you don't sacrifice the city, we will kill all of Xiang Yan's clansmen!"

In Jiangdu City, Chun Shenjun's envoy said with a high-spirited expression, but he was more unfamiliar than anyone else in his heart - Xiang Yan's clan has a fart relationship with Yu Jun, and threaten Yu Jun with Xiang Yan's clansmen? Childe shouldn't be stupid, right?

"Poof......

Listening to the messenger's words, Xu Chu couldn't hold back and smiled.

[You threaten us with the lives of your generals' families? 】

Xu Chu had a sense of absurdity that Ji Wuye threatened Dong Huangjun with Han An's life before: People in this world are not normal, right?

The other generals also had a bad look on their faces.

Zhuge Liang chuckled lightly and said gently: "Your envoy, please go back, tell Chun Shenjun that if you have any ability, we will continue!" ”

Zhuge Liang had actually guessed the other party's intentions: the other party's war agent wanted to use this to test whether Xiang Yan was dead, if Xiang Yan was dead, these Xiang Yan's clansmen would naturally be of little use, after all, it was impossible for the other party to send Xiang Yu's father over; But if Xiang Yan did not die, then in order to make Xiang Yan return to his heart, Dong Huangjun would most likely get Xiang Yan's clansmen at all costs.

Zhuge Liang glanced down at the other party's war agent, and the other party's ability to instigate Chun Shenjun to make such a suggestion is enough to prove that the other party has become Chun Shenjun's confidant and high-level; Being able to come up with such a whimsical idea, the other party's wisdom can already be regarded as relatively high among mortals.

But it's still just the wisdom of mortals.

"The enemy army should not attack the city on a large scale in the near future, but be careful that the other party cuts off the ditch and impounds water to impact our army."

After Chunshenjun's envoy was driven away, Zhuge Liang expressed his judgment.

At this time, the highest status in the city should be Huang Zhong.

Among the generals, Huang Zhong should be the first person to benchmark the law, after all, Jia Xu's status is somewhat special, and he can't benchmark if he wants to; But at present, Dong Huangjun's high-level leaders are very harmonious, and there is basically no infighting, and Huang Zhong also recognizes Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness.

However, judgment is judgment, and caution is still necessary.

Several generals of the Dayu army took turns patrolling and defending the city, so as not to give the Chu army a chance.

In the next few days, the Chu army attacked several more tentatively, and also launched a night attack, but it did not achieve much success.

The biggest result of the Chu army was the previous main attack, which caused tens of thousands of casualties to the Dayu army.

Even if it was defending the city, even if there were fierce generals such as Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun, the casualties of the Dayu army and the Chu army were 1:1.

This is the most ugly casualty ratio since the establishment of the Dayu Army, and the horror of the military formation can be seen from this.

However, the Dayu army is not without good news.

When the Jiangdu front line and the Chu army fell into a short lull, Jia Xu's persuasion of Xiang Yan had also made substantial progress.

Xiang Yan was really about to be disgusted to death.

Trapped behind the Eighth Formation of Stone Soldiers, Xiang Yanjun told that every day should not be called the earth and the earth, and watched the servant army being eaten by the Dayu army little by little.

After that, it's the "embattled" link.

Jia Xu ordered the captives to sing Chu songs at night, especially the homesick Chu songs, and during the day, they shouted all kinds of words, such as "the Dayu army treats the prisoners preferentially", what "the king of Chu has killed Xiang Yan's whole family", what "you were framed by Chunshenjun" and even "the king of Chu ordered to kill all the Xiang clan", "follow the Dayu army to eat meat"......

All kinds of tricks are constantly attacking.

Especially Xiang Yanjun was starving inside, but there was a burst of aroma of wine and meat outside, which made Xiang Yan's department drool.

"The treachery of the thieves is not a crime of war!"

Xiang Yan hated it to death.

At one point, he even thought about killing himself.

In the State of Chu, it was a very glorious thing to overthrow the army and kill the generals, but whenever his thoughts just rose, there would always be people outside asking loudly: "General Xiang Yan wants to commit suicide so cowardly, doesn't he want to avenge his parents, wife and children?" ”

"The king won't be like that!"

Xiang Yan roared with his neck raised.

The outsiders didn't argue, but just said: "Even if the King of Chu is not stupid, will Chun Shenjun let you go?" Who do you think leaked the information about your navy to us? Who do you think would be in the best interest of your defeat? You must know that the contradiction between Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan has become white-hot, and Chun Shenjun does not dare to cross Jiangdong! ”

Xiang Yan: ......

Xiang Yan is not stupid, at least not as politically savvy as his grandson.

He had actually sensed that Chun Shenjun was very likely to have a problem, but then again, who could guarantee that Da Yujun's remarks were not a divisive ploy?

Xiang Yan hesitated.

The people outside did not persecute him, but said: "We have sent wine and food into the battle, and please take care of the general and all the strong men, we are already actively investigating the situation of your family, if there is any news, we will help you rescue your family." ”

In the end, the people outside said earnestly: "The general is a great man in the world, and he must consider it, and I hope the general will think about it carefully!" ”

Think carefully? Think about it!

Xiang Yan discussed several times with the four kinship generals of the Wind Forest Volcano under his command, and finally decided to stay useful.

Death is indeed simple, but what if what Yu Jun said is true?

In case the faint monarch slander really harms the Xiang family, they are the only hope for the Xiang family's revenge!

The situation is unknown, at least Wu Zixu of the Xiang family must be left.

"For the time being, it's delicious and delicious, I want to see what tricks Yu Jun plays!"

Xiang Yan made a decision and slept in the tent that Yu Jun had sent in.

Da Yu not only sent food and drink to Xiang Yan's department, but also sent tents, clothes, medicinal herbs, and even sent a few Langzhong.

Now Xiang Yanjun was embarrassed.

It's really that the Dayu army is too good to them, except for being trapped, food, clothing, housing and transportation are even better than when they were in the Xiang clan.

However, the Dayu army did not persuade him to surrender again, until one day, the fog of the eight formations of stone soldiers suddenly dispersed, and an old man who looked amiable and harmless as a rich orange cat walked in.

"Who's coming?"

Xiang Yan looked at the man in front of him vigilantly.

Although this man's strength gives him the feeling that he is only a mythical order, it stands to reason that he can kill him with one hand, but it gives him the feeling of extreme danger, that feeling, as if he is a little mouse, and the other party is an orange cat with his own mouth.

"I am Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, the prime minister of Dayu, and I have something important to inform the general!"

Jia Xu, who had risen to the first level of mythology, spoke in a somewhat urgent tone.

Recently, Jia Xu's main energy has been spent on improving his strength, he feels that his talent should be similar to Zhuge Liang, why can Zhuge Liang, a latecomer, be able to rise to the first level of mythology first?

He thought about it and came up with the most recent reason that was close to reality—the problem of the exercises.

Dayu's Wu clan exercises, Yingzhou Yin and Yang techniques, are not very suitable for Jia Xu's cultivation, but the Yin and Yang astrology of the Yin and Yang family in this world is very suitable for Zhuge Liang's cultivation, so Jia Xu found Concubine Yan and wanted to browse all the Yin and Yang family's exercises.

Concubine Yan didn't hesitate, so she gave Jia Xu a copy of the exercises.

When Jia Xu flipped to the "Ritual Soul Chapter", his eyes lit up, and he immediately knew what he should cultivate.

He wanted to practice the "Yin Yang Ritual Soul Chapter", and decided to ask Dong Huang to be a god of the underworld.

As soon as the Yin Yang Ritual Soul Chapter was cultivated, Jia Xu felt that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and he unconsciously began to consume the ghosts in the shadow of death, and he had been consuming all the ghosts below the ninth order, and Jia Xu's strength had finally reached the peak of the first order of mythology.

It just so happened that at this time, the latest information from the north came, and Jia Xu came to see Xiang Yan in person.

"If you are persuaded to surrender, please do not open your mouth!"

Xiang Yan maintained the last shelf.

"No, please also ask the general to quickly reorganize the soldiers and horses!"

The expression on Jia Xu's face became even more urgent, and he said earnestly: "We just got the latest news, the king of Chu has slaughtered the general's entire family, and now Li Yuan's army has surrounded the prime minister, vowing to destroy the Xiang family, the prime minister is in danger, and the general is asked to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"What? You dare! ”

Xiang Yan was furious.

The generals under Xiang Yan were even more indignant.

We are here to fight for the life and death of the Chu State, and you, the King of Chu, really want to slaughter my whole family, and also slaughter my Xiang clan?

"Is that true?"

The Wind General couldn't help but ask.

"Our army has prepared ships and prepared 30,000 elites, ready to send the generals north at any time to rescue the prime minister! If there is a conspiracy, our army does not have to go to such great lengths. ”

Jia Xu said sincerely.

"I believe in the prime minister, and our army will go to the prime minister now!"

Xiang Yan held Jia Xu's hand, feeling a little cold, but didn't care.

Now Xiang Yan's mind has been occupied by hatred, because he knows very well that by this time, there is no need for the Dayu Army to deceive him, and even if the Dayu Army wants to cooperate with them to save the Xiang Xiang clan, it is impossible to be fake, the reason is very simple, the purpose of the Dayu Army is that he Xiang Yan and the Xiang clan!

Da Yu needs his "Wind Forest Volcano" military formation.

Besides, as Jia Xu said, if the Dayu army wants to kill them, all they need to do is not give them food, and they will starve to death, so why bother.

Recently, the "Fenglin Volcano" troops, which had eaten well, drunk and rested, quickly reorganized their troops, followed Jia Xu, and all changed into war horses and galloped.

Jia Xu is willing to provide them with war horses, which also shows from the side that Jia Xu really has no malicious intentions.

Xiang Yan and the others were even more grateful and more aware of the seriousness of the matter.

After that, Xiang Yan's department boarded the ship at Yanziji, and Zhou Tai's department, Gao Shun's department, Zhang Liao's department, Yue Fei's department and many generals had been waiting here for a long time.

This time, the Dayu army was almost all out of generals, in order to see with their own eyes the strength of Xiang Yan's army when they were fighting.

Next, the army will enter the sea from the river, go north along the coastline, and then enter the Huaishui, from which it will enter Surabaya, and rescue the lower minister.

Zhou Tai said that he was very familiar with this road, and before in the Three Kingdoms era, he made a detour to the north of Shouchun through Huaishui and gave Yuan Shaojun a fatal blow, and this time, it was time for him to perform.

Seeing that the Dayu army was so ready to help, Xiang Yan and the others were even more moved, and Xiang Yan also realized that everyone might have to take refuge in Dayu.

"Yan has thanked the king and the prime minister here, if he can save the clansmen this time, he will definitely repay the king and the prime minister to the death!"

When the army was dispatched, Xiang Yan finally couldn't help but speak.

At this time, he didn't know that the head of Dayu was the emperor, and he thought that he was the same king as the Chu State.

"Da Yu is His Majesty the Emperor, the general can be called Your Majesty, Your Majesty looks forward to the general for a long time, but this fashion is overseas, and your Majesty must be very happy to be a general! Please also ask the general to relax, I Dayu will definitely help the general rescue the clansmen and take revenge on the faint monarch and traitorous ministers of the Chu State! ”

Jia Xu swore an oath.

"The grace of Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, Yan Ming feels inside!"

Xiang Yan expressed her gratitude again.

Haojing, Cabinet.

"It is worthy of being the prime minister, it seems that Xiang Yan has stabilized."

Concubine Yan, who saw this scene through a mirror, had a happy face.

"Thanks to the information of His Royal Highness Dongjun and the Yin and Yang Family!"

Jia Xu squinted his eyes and was happy like a big orange cat that had eaten and drunk.

"It's still a good plan for the prime minister, and I didn't expect the prime minister to be a genius who cultivates yin and yang arts! "Ritual Soul Chapter" has not been refined for hundreds of years. ”

Concubine Yan praised Jia Xu.

Concubine Yan's praise is definitely made by feeling, not in yin and yang.

The "Yin Yang Ritual Soul Chapter", which has not been refined by the Yin and Yang family for many years, was actually refined by Jia Xu, not only that, but Jia Xu also developed a special magical power by himself, which can condense the ghost clone, and can also condense the vision of the ghost clone for others to watch!

There is no doubt that it was Jia Xu's clone who negotiated with Xiang Yan before.

A cautious person like Jia Xu is also a prime minister who is also the weight of a country, so it is naturally impossible to take such a risk for the sake of a Xiang Yan, even if he knows that Xiang Yan will abandon the dark and turn to the light, it is impossible for him to take risks.

But now, everything is going in a good direction.

The army was speeding all the way, and Qiao Daoqing occasionally cast a little spell to blow the wind on the army and increase the speed of the ship.

The army hurried and hurried, and finally felt the prime minister before the city of the next prime minister was broken.

Xiang Xiong had an incident before, and although he once took Surabaya County, Chu reacted very quickly, and directly ordered Li Yuan to lead the elite of the Qi-Chu border to quell the chaos.

Li Yuan led 40,000 regular troops, 50,000 private soldiers of different abilities, and 200,000 seventh-order and eighth-order main forces to cross the Huai River to quell the rebellion, and confronted Xiang Xiong's army along Surabaya.

The war agent who originally took refuge in Xiang Xiong, saw that the general trend had gone and it was impossible to get Xiang Yu, so under the temptation of Li Yuanfang's war agent, he formed an equal alliance with him, joined Li Yuanjun's army, and helped Li Yuanjun's elite cross the river at night, and was surprised and defeated Xiang Xiong's army.

Xiang Xiong had to lead the remnants of the army to abandon the surrounding cities and defend the prime minister.

At this time, the limitations of the indigenous people are visible.

Xiang Xiong's uprising was only based on righteous indignation and self-preservation, and there was no program, nor any strategic planning, and the core was only Xiang's children, and there was no broad mass base.

In this case, it seems natural that the Xiang clan will be wiped out.

Xiang Xiong discovered this later, but it was too late.

Xiang Xiong is not Xiang Yan after all, let alone the overlord of Chu, but he doesn't have the ability to kill everyone out! In fact, he couldn't even use the military formation. The military formation of the Xiang clan is in his hands, that is, the army formation that is worthy of defeating the Chu State.

Despair spread among the Xiang clansmen, but knowing that it was impossible for the King of Chu to pardon their Xiang clan, the Xiang clan was also inspired to fight to the death and repelled several attacks by Li Yuanjun.

Li Yuan was also ruthless.

Now that the southeast of Chu has lost lost troops and lost generals, and there are many feudal rebellions inside, this can force the king of Chu to be anxious.

The king of Chu is not afraid of these rebellions, the size of the state of Chu is here, the most elite kings and pawns have not moved, and the main force of the main army in the capital has not been dispatched, the king of Chu does not think that quelling the rebellion is a problem, what the king of Chu is really afraid of is other countries, especially the state of Qin and the state of Qi to take advantage of the chaos to attack, so the king of Chu is eager to end the war as soon as possible, and he can't let these countries of tigers and wolves see the weakness of the state of Chu.

The pressure of the King of Chu naturally spread to Li Yuan's side.

In order to complete the task of the king of Chu, Li Yuan couldn't care so much, not only did he not treat the personal soldiers and ordinary main forces of the war agent as people at all, forcing them to use their lives to consume the Xiang clan's reserves of defending the city, but also ordered the regular army to form a military formation to attack the city many times.

The effect of the army formation attacking the city is actually very average, which can be seen from the situation of Chun Shenjun's attack on Jiangdu, and Li Yuan's side is not much better than Chun Shenjun's side.

Xiang Xiong launched the military formation with all his strength to "move like a mountain" and gave the Chu army a head-on blow.

But the question is, where can the Xiang clan protect the four city walls?

Most of the Xiang clan, who are old, weak, sick and disabled, are almost filling with their lives, and they have suffered heavy losses!

Of course, Li Yuanjun's losses were heavier, and the casualty ratio with the Xiang clan once reached four to one, you know, the Xiang clan is mainly old, weak, sick and disabled!

But even with such an embarrassing casualty ratio, the will of the soldiers of the Chu army to attack the city was still very strong, because Li Yuan not only gave a huge reward to the first climber, but also promised not to seal the sword after breaking the city, and the army that broke the city first could go crazy in the next phase for three days!

At the same time, if he can get the Xiang family's military array, he is also willing to share it with the besieging generals.

Such a temptation is enough to stimulate the combat effectiveness of the Chu army from top to bottom.

Especially the temptation of the military formation, it made the middle and high-level officers crazy!

Judging from the current situation, the Xiang family's military formation is already the top military formation in the Chu State.

Under all kinds of temptations, both officers and soldiers showed their strength to feed.

Looking at the crumbling Xia Xiangcheng, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth showed a smile.

Li Yuan already knew the news that Chun Shenjun had attacked Jiangdu in vain.

Chun Shenjun worked in vain, but he swept away the leaves in the autumn wind, doesn't that prove that he is stronger than Chun Shenjun?

Although Li Yuan had to cooperate with Chun Shenjun in order to deal with Song Yu and the others, both of them knew that they were already dead to death with each other.

Therefore, Li Yuan couldn't wait to compare Chun Shenjun from all aspects.

This time, it was one of his chances.

However, what Li Yuan didn't expect was that there would be enemies attacking from behind.

The vast area north of the Huai River was the territory of the Chu State, and Li Yuan did not fortify it in this direction at all. So the Dayu army was able to drive straight in, and the angry Xiang Yan led the equally angry soldiers to penetrate the middle army of Li Yuan's army from behind.

Li Yuan was not completely mediocre, he was already suspicious when he saw the fleet in Surabaya, and when someone on the fleet came down, he hurriedly ordered the elite to form a formation.

But before, he had already besieged the elite on all sides, and in a hurry, how could the army besieging the city on all sides be so easy to gather to form a military formation? The elite he was able to muster was only more than 10,000 people.

What's more, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

At this time, Xiang Yan's department was a brave man full of vengeful anger and not afraid of life and death, but Li Yuanjun was already exhausted.

"Brothers, kill all the Chu army and rescue your parents, wives and children!"

Xiang Yan roared, raised his military flag, and then took the lead in killing the Chu army.

With the blessing of anger and the addition of the military formation of all people, Xiang Yan's strength at this moment was faintly at the level of the third order of mythology. And Xiang Yan's department, which was full of revenge fire, also burst out of their strong strength one by one, and gave the Chu army a dismount as soon as they came up, and the two departments of wind and fire directly chiseled two gaps in the Chu army's array, and the forest department and the mountain department immediately followed.

Later, elite men and horses such as Gao Shun's department, Yue Fei's department, and Zhang Liao's department followed one after another, and followed Xiang Yan's department to tear apart the Chu army's array.

"It's the general!"

"It's the general who came to save us!"

At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Xiang Yan clan saw Xiang Yan's banner and the wind forest volcano army formation they were familiar with, and they were immediately overjoyed.

"Sons, follow me out of town!"

Xiang Xiong put on his armor and mounted his horse and led more than 3,000 elites to kill from the inside.

The main force of Li Yuan's army, which was attacked from both sides, was defeated.

Li Yuan had no choice but to flee to the large camp in other directions, but was pursued by the Dayu army all the way, breaking through more than a dozen large camps in a row, until the elite of another large battalion formed a military formation to block the Xiang Yan army at the end of the strong crossbow, so that it would not be crushed.

After the defeat, Li Yuan had to gather his troops and retreat twenty miles to camp.

The Dayu army hurriedly gathered the army and assisted the Xiangxiang clan to get on the ship and evacuate.

Now that you are in the territory of an enemy country, it is better to be careful.

Under Xiang Yan's prestige, the Xiang clan's action was very fast, and they completed boarding the ship almost on the same day, and then retreated overnight.

Li Yuan was naturally able to guess the purpose of the Dayu army, but after the defeat, Li Yuan of the Chu army was already faintly uncontrollable.

This is also a matter of no choice, Li Yuan was originally a disciple of Chun Shenjun, but now he and Chun Shenjun parted ways, and these middle and high-level Chu troops in Huaibei grew up with Chun Shenjun when he destroyed the Lu State, and his heart naturally turned to Chun Shenjun.

If Li Yuan can bring them victory and the Xiang clan's military formation, they are naturally willing to follow Li Yuan, if not, they can only abandon Li Yuan and turn to the arms of Chun Shenjun.

Li Yuan was obviously keenly aware of this.

Li Yuan is more of a politician than a soldier, and when he encounters this kind of problem, his first reaction is how to get rid of the pot and maximize the benefits.

So, he came up with a clever plan: the defeat was indeed due to the sneak attack by the traitor Xiang Yan and the shameless Dayu army, but the main reason was that the generals along the river who were originally under Chun Shenjun did not report in time, and these people did not contribute to the battle during the battle, and in the end they attacked by themselves.

In short, he Li Yuan was completely overshadowed by these Chun Shenjun's subordinates......

If you are indecided, you will fight in the pot!

Li Yuan let Da Yujun leave calmly, and then arrested a few subordinates who had fought with Chun Shenjun and began to torture them to extract confessions.
