ps: I just moved home, I have been busy for a day, there is only one chapter today

...

A hundred years ago, the Jin army attacked the Chidiluzi country entrenched in the Shangdang area. In the process of advancing, Guanglang City was established between Duanshi and Danshui as a base. The city is built on the mountain, and the rear uses the steep cliffs as a barrier. In the past, it is still very strong. It's a pity that it has not been used for a long time, and thorns and weeds have grown everywhere, and the parapet is not high, so it is difficult to resist the chill of early winter.

It was late at night, and the cold wind from the north roared, carrying fine sand and floating soil and slapped Zhiguo's face. He couldn't help shivering, stretched out his hand and rubbed his stiff face, and then quickly walked up the city. head, and put the wool vest over Zhiyao's body.

"Cousin, pay attention to your body. If you fall, who can the soldiers rely on?"

"A defeated general is not brave enough. Am I still worthy of the soldiers?" Zhiyao showed a wry smile. He didn't take care of it for a few days. His face was shaggy and his eyes were bloodshot. I hadn't slept for two nights, and it seemed that the whole person was out of shape. After all, too many things have happened in the past few days.

When there is no battle, Zhiyao will always hold the sword and look out of the city quietly: The Light Wolf City, which should have been pitch black, is now surrounded by layers of campfires and illuminated... The back of the Light Wolf City By the zigzag mountain range, to the east is the Danshui Valley, but on both sides of the Danshui, the campfires are like falling stars, covering the entire river, as if the Milky Way has fallen into the mortal world.

Zhiyao sighed: "Two years ago, when I attacked the small city Taigu with Taidai pressing the top, when I besieged the lonely Zhao family banner, I never thought that I would be trapped in the lonely city one day, I am really ashamed. To my grandfather and father, I am ashamed of the soldiers who trusted me, Pao Ze..."

Zhiguo hurriedly said, "This defeat is not a crime of war. If the Wei clan did not betray, we might have stood outside the city of the Hyun clan at this moment and exchanged attack and defense with Zhao Wuxi..."

It is now the October frost, and three full days have passed since the battle in the Danshui Valley. The sudden defection of the Wei family surprised everyone. The coalition army directly lost the entire right flank, and the central army and the left flank were also exposed to the enemy's blow. .

Shi Kun was recoiled by Tian Ben and suffered a crushing defeat, and he himself died in front of the battle. Tian Ben continued to carry the thunder force and killed him from Mount Han, disturbing the 8,000 people of Fan Gaoyi and Liang Yingfu, so that they could not turn around, so the whole army was stranded on the east bank of Danshui. The Jin army disintegrated layer by layer, and countless defeated soldiers rushed to the hog, but very few people escaped. Even Fan and Liang were trapped in the chaotic army and were captured by the Zhao family simply and neatly.

On the other hand, the 15,000-strong central army commanded by Zhiyao was attacked by Wei soldiers, and two thousand Zhao's cavalry attacked the back, which was also in chaos. However, because the main force of the Zhao clan on the front was desperately blocked by Yu Rang's three thousand dead soldiers, the speed of the attack was slowed down, and the Wei army was mainly self-protection, and the attack force was not strong, so Zhiyao was able to evacuate with his clan soldiers.

When he turned around by the Danshui, he could only see countless corpses scattered on the battlefield, the torso entangled with each other, and the blood soaked in the dry sand, forming countless tiny streams that converged in the Danshui, making the river even redder. Blood, and Yu Rang, was completely surrounded by layers of siege, You Zi brandished his weapon, making people afraid to approach.

The scholar died for the confidant, and Yu Rang did what he said. It can be seen that what Yao was most afraid of seeing was the last years of the strong man...

Yu Rang and other 3000 dead men gave Zhiyao time to escape with their lives. He swallowed his unwillingness and led his army to break through several waves of enemy troops. Unfortunately, the speed of Zhao's cavalry was too fast to completely shake off. .

They had been entangled with the chasing soldiers for an hour before they were able to retreat into Guanglang City, which was guarded by Zhiguo, with the help of the rear army's defect department. When I went to the city to count the number of people, there were 8,000 people on the left wing, and almost none of them came back. Of the 15,000 people in the central army, only 5,000 people were left to cross the Danshui and return to the west, which is added up to the two corps of Xicuo and Zhiguo. , there are still more than 10,000 people in the city...

It's not that Zhiyao didn't leave a retreat for himself, they could also retreat to Duanshi City along the Duanshi River Valley behind Guanglang City, where the Jin army's baggage and food reserves were located, which was more suitable for defense than Guanglang City, which was short of food.

But they soon found that their back road was cut off. At the same moment when the Danshui battle was fierce, Zhao Jun's partial division attacked Duanshi City in the west!

Under the leadership of Lu Xing, Liu Xiazhi's strange soldiers suddenly appeared behind the Jin army's defense line. They were originally the Duan clan, who was calm and easy to attack in the river valley. In addition, the defense was lax and the main force was dispatched to participate in the attack. , quickly lost. The change of hands between the Duan clan and the entire river valley means that the Zhao army can attack from behind, and the barrier built by the Zhi army on the west bank of the Danshui has also become a barrier to besiege him in turn, which is simply a cocoon!

Since there was no way to go, more than 10,000 remaining soldiers could only be trapped in Guanglang City. The coalition forces of Zhao, Wei, and Han immediately surrounded the city and attacked from all sides. The tragic offensive and defensive battle went on for three days. The number of Jin troops in the village was reduced from more than 10,000 to less than 7,000. The rest were all injured, and outside the light wolf, this large encirclement composed of mountains, rivers and barriers , the three families of Zhao, Wei, Han, and the surrendered servants add up to a total of 70,000 enemies!

It is the simplest principle in the art of warfare. The moment Wei Ju shouted, "Righteousness is in the Eastern Army", the winner and the loser are divided. Now we can see how much more Zhiyao can struggle. long time...

But even ants will fight hard when they are desperate, and will not close their eyes and wait to die!

Zhiyao tightened her waistcoat and started to patrol the city again, guarding against any possible omissions.

There were broken walls and ruins everywhere in Guanglang City. Zhao Jun had moved ballistas that could shoot flying stones to attack nearby. Three days and three nights of fierce attack and defense caused many damages to the city walls, and the sand collapsed to form gaps. The Zhijun could only dig earth and move rocks to block the gap when the enemy stopped attacking.

He bypassed the fire where the officers were, and walked a short distance along a low wall where the soldiers rested. I saw them lying in a row, some sleeping, some chatting, and some of the wounded making miserable humming and crying from time to time.

In the darkness, through the campfire outside the city, Zhiyao could see the despair in their eyes.

At this moment, a thinly dressed scribe came over and said, "Gentleman, without the baggage stored in the Duan clan, Guanglang is a dead city, not only lacking food, water, but also winter clothes. Attack, but according to my observation, I am afraid that it is making larger siege equipment, we can't wait for long..."

...

The visitor was Zhiyao's chief aide Xue Xue. He and Zhiguo both reminded Zhiyao to beware of the Wei family. Knowing that Yao was too proud and self-confident, he didn't care, and now he has no time to regret it.

He had a clear face and elegant eyebrows, but now his left hand was wrapped in ge cloth, his robes were stained with blood, and the long sword that had broken several gaps was inserted diagonally at his waist, as if he had fought a **** battle. . He is a strategist and staff, let alone an ordinary soldier.

Zhiyao draped the leather vest over the blemishes, preventing his gratitude, and said a little wearily: "The soldiers are surrounded by little food, and even if they have wings, they can't fly. In such a dilemma, I'm afraid that I have reached the end of the road."

Xu Que hurriedly said: "Gentleman, it's not time to despair!"

"Could it be that you have a plan?"

"We are outnumbered, and we may not win the battle. For today's plan, we can only rely on the deep trenches and high fortresses of Guanglang City, and we can't close it until it changes. But Guanglang City cannot be defended for a long time, not to mention the enemy's only If we need to drag us here, send half of our troops west to Xinjiang, and join forces with the army from Jinyang to attack the capital, then the state of Jin will completely change hands.”

"That's what worries me too."

Xu Que came up to Zhiyao and said in a low voice, "So we can't wait, but take the initiative to do something!"

"what are you planning to do?"

"At this time, with the low morale of the 7,000 people in the city, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the strong enemy, and we need to use strength to fight."

A daze flashed in Zhiyao's eyes: "Where is the force...?"

"Just outside the city, the two Han and Wei families are willing to go out of the city at night to persuade the two of them. If Han Wei and the Zhi clan can jointly attack the Zhao clan, there may be a chance..."

"Hahahaha!" Zhiyao burst into a burst of laughter, and then rubbed his forehead, wanting to see if he had a fever or burned out his brain.

"It seems that you are not sick, not to mention that Han Hu and my family have a revenge for killing his father, just say that Wei Ju, three days ago I took him as a humerus robe, but he betrayed him on the battlefield, causing our army to be defeated. .Wei's has been completely thrown into Zhao's arms, how can you persuade him to repeat it again?"

Wu Que said: "Otherwise, the three families of the same soldiers did not agree. I observed at the top of the city and found that their camps were on each side. When attacking the city, Zhao Wuxi also let the Wei family and the prisoners be the forerunners, and the Zhao and Han families were tied. A watch from the sidelines. If the ignorant family, within a few months, the three families will have doubts about each other, and no matter how big the enmity is, they will join forces because of the situation and interests. I will go out of the city and use words to challenge each other at this time, or I can succeed!"

Zhiyao sighed: "How slim..."

He said, "Have the gentleman ever seen the prostitutes in the new Jiangnvlu?"

Zhiyao frowned: "You should know, I never go to that kind of place."

"This minister is just using an analogy. Those **** prostitutes do things to others. The first time it is difficult to spread their legs, the second and third times are much easier. This is the third time Wei's betrayal has been repeated. Wei Xianzi betrayed the Luan family once. Wei Ju and Zhao Han broke their promise once, and now they betray the Zhi clan again, as long as they have a heart, the minister will have a chance!"

Zhiyao was silent for a long time, and said, "What Wei Shi did should be Wei Yu's decision, Wei Ju just acted according to his father's orders. Yu Rang is my left arm, you are my right arm, and I have lost it. One hand, I don't want to lose the other..."

Xie Kui bowed under the city head, with a hint of madness in his eyes: "That's also better than the light wolf city running out of food, the soldiers kill each other, when the city is broken, it is the day when the jade and stone are burnt, anyway, they are all dead, ministers. It's better to rely on this three-inch tongue! I hope the gentleman will allow it!"

...

It was night. Wei Ju was tasting the wine alone in the Wei's military camp outside Guanglang City. Although he was ready to be "pointed by thousands of people", betrayal was like a sour wine. He drank it happily on his face, but in his back he could only nag alone.

Anyway, the Wei clan allowed the Zhao clan to easily win the battle of Changping, and drove the remnants of Zhiyao into Guanglang City. The three families of Zhao, Wei, and Han were besieged in this area. The fall of Guanglang and the defeat of Zhiyao were only a matter of time.

But Wei Ju's heart was not happy at all, not to mention that although Zhao Wuxi was enthusiastic towards him on the surface, he said that the three Taoyuan brothers still remained. But in fact, on the battlefield, Zhao's catapults and ballistas kept pointing at Wei's phalanx, and the elite Ran Qiu army was also in front of them. Hit them mercilessly.

During the three days of besieging Guanglang City, Zhao Wuxi also excused that the mechanical installation would take time, and asked Wei to lead the prisoners as a striker to attack the city. The place has only been kept for a few days.

He was always afraid that Zhao Wuxi would not do anything, so he suddenly launched a night attack, took over his camp, and wiped out Zhiwei together...

How to deal with this situation? Just when Wei Ju was sad and bleak, Linghu Bo suddenly appeared from outside the camp, walked to Wei Ju's side, and whispered, "Cousin, someone is coming from Guanglang City..."

Wei Ju was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Our acquaintance, Zhiyao's adviser Xue Xue, knew that the Wei clan was stationed in the east, so he pretended to be a Zhao soldier and went down the city. Let him come to report the matter, the soldiers did not suspect him, and brought him to my place before they were recognized."

He got closer and said, "Zhiyao asked him to come, is my cousin seeing him or not?"

"No! Immediately push down and chop!"

Wei Ju waved his sleeves violently as if he had touched something dirty, but he stood up and walked a few steps before he regretted it again, and turned back to Linghu Bo who was about to go down: "Wait a minute, I have a little bit of a relationship with him after all. Friendship, let's meet again..."

It didn't take long for him, who was dressed in Zhao Bing's black clothes, to be brought in. He had been searched several times, and there was no weapon entrained. Wei Ju screened back, only Lu Xing was left to protect him, looking at the haggard face, almost lost the demeanor of Zhiyao's think tank in the past, he couldn't help sighing: "I almost didn't recognize the scorpion, there are many in the city. suffer."

"It's all thanks to the Wei family's heir..."

The edge of the flaw is half exposed, but he did not bow down just because he wanted to lobby, which made Lu Xing furious, and drew his sword and said, "Bold!"

Wei Ju stopped him, the expression on his face did not change, but a hint of shame flashed in his eyes. In his twenties, the face of a person is far less thick than that of a politician who is over fifty years old.

Xue Dei sees all this in his eyes. What he is best at is to observe words and expressions, from which he can learn what the other party is thinking. When he sees Wei Ju like this, he knows that what he expected is not bad. Zhao Wuxi made an appointment with the two families of Wei and Han. On the day of the extermination of Zhi, one-third of the land will be destroyed. Now Guanglang City will be destroyed in the evening, and Zhi's family is in danger. This shows that he is in a dilemma.

If you don't help Zhao, you may be destroyed after the defeat~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Help Zhao, or you may be excluded when the Zhao family is dominant, and may eventually perish...

"I have at least a two-point chance. If Haotian doesn't let the Zhi Clan die, he will help me and let me succeed! Even if I can't defeat the Zhao Clan in the end, I will try my best to divide them and drag the Wei Clan and these repeated villains to die together! "

After the thought of Xi fault flashed by, Wei Ju asked, "Although I have an old relationship with Xi Zi, I know that the Wei and Wei families are already enemies. What do you want to do when your lord asked you to come here?" ? Wei Ju smiled bitterly in his heart, trying to make himself look like he didn't take it seriously. Just as his uncle and grandfather said, he needs to become thick and dark in order to survive in the future situation of Jin, one strong and two weak.

Xu Que cupped his hands and said: "My lord has been surrounded for a long time, and he died at the end of the day, so I sent a foreign minister to pretend to be a sergeant of the Zhao family, and came here overnight to ask to see the prince. My lord has something to tell me, and the prince can allow me to speak. Open your mouth, otherwise, the foreign minister asks to die in front of the general!"

He straightened up and walked towards Lu Xing's sword blade. After being reprimanded, he didn't back down. He waited until the sword tip pressed against his chest, and even blood oozes out.

Wei Ju had no choice but to wave his hand: "You don't have to be so pretentious. You have something to say, but it doesn't matter. If you have a reason, follow it. If it doesn't make sense, hum! You won't be able to leave this camp!" (To be continued.)
