In Yueli County, on the avenue to Qiongdu City.

Even the road is narrow and the road is very uneven.

Under the banner of the "Zhang" character, Zhang Ren held a big gun with a firm face and kept urging the soldiers: "Hurry, move forward quickly. The horse must not stop, and people must not rest."

Although the soldiers were exhausted, they still gritted their teeth, panted, and moved forward with great strength. Zhang Ren was also very prestigious. If an ordinary general did this, he would probably change in the army.

"General. We killed Gao Shan and defeated his troops. There are not many defenders in Qiongdu City now. The Yi King Gao Ding is afraid that he is both brave and courageous. It is easy to capture Qiongdu City, so there is no need to be so anxious, right?"

Deputy General Sima of the camp looked back at the soldiers and whispered to Zhang Ren: "The soldiers are really working hard."

"Otherwise." Zhang Ren shook his head and looked back at the soldiers, feeling a little reluctant, but he still said: "Gao Ding has always had a different ambitions. Killing Gaoshan will not shock him. Instead, it will make him worse. If he is given too much preparation time, the city will be solid. The siege will only last for a long time."

"We will fight to the city of Qiongdu first. There will be only benefits, not harm."

"No." Deputy General Sima of the camp was shocked and said.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ren said to the deputy general: "In addition to head-on battle, we can also use tricks."

"General, the general, and the general, came out?" the deputy general was stunned and asked with his hands bowed.

"Although the Gao family dominated a county, it was actually the leader of the tribe. In this Yueli County, there are many big surnames and clans. We can send envoys to contact these tribes. It is also good to bribe or threaten them, so that they can raise an army and help us attack Gaoding."

Zhang Ren said.

"What the general said is that in the past, Haute Citizen dominated Yueli County, no one could check or balance. Now the general killed Gaoshan, tens of thousands of elite soldiers attacked Qiongdu City, and the Grand Sima 100,000 elite soldiers were also in the Nanzhong area, and everyone knew about them. Those tribal leaders would definitely be afraid of us."

"Even if we can't convince them to rebel against Haute Couture, if they are allowed to hesitate and do not raise troops to help Haute Couture, it will greatly reduce the power of Haute Couture."

The deputy general thought about it after hearing this, and felt it was profitable. He clasped his fists at Zhang Ren and went down to organize people.

Although they were a military force and had few civil servants under their command, there were still eloquent and brave people, as well as talents who were very familiar with the county.

The deputy general quickly made arrangements and sent out the messengers in all directions like a big net.

................

Qiongdu City.

Since Gao Ding came back, he has begun to actively prepare materials to defend the city, recruit Jingzhuang, and sent envoys to various departments to recruit reinforcements.

In addition to the strong soldiers, you can also see old men or young men holding simple spears, without leather armor, in addition to the strong soldiers.

The old people are indifferent to life and death, but the young people are a little nervous.

A haute couture mansion, in the hall.

Gao Ding sat on the main seat, and both sides of his face were filled with Gao clan members and important figures in the city.

The news of Gao Shan being killed had already come, and Gao Ding's face was very gloomy.

The result is now something he could not have imagined.

Gao Shan is the first brave general of the Gao family. No one can defeat him in this county. He never thought that Gao Shan would be killed by Zhang Ren.

Not to mention, although some soldiers escaped from Guiniu Mountain and returned to Qiongdu City, more soldiers were either killed or fled and hid.

Now there are much fewer defenders in the city than planned.

"I want to avenge Gaoshan and kill Zhang Ren."

Gao Ding clenched her fists and her eyes were extremely sharp. Not only did she not collapse, she became more and more determined.

"How many defenders are there in our city now?" Gao Ding suddenly raised his head and stared at a Gao clan member and said.

"Report to the king, plus the old and weak. Now there are 20,000 defenders in our city." The Gao clan member swallowed and bowed.

There are actually signs of differentiation in the city now. Some people hope to surrender in their hearts, but because of the high-end reputation, they dare not say it out.

"Not enough. Let's not talk about Zhang Ren's elite soldiers, brave and good at fighting, and even Gaoshan was killed by him. With such old and weak guarding the city, we can't hold on for long. What's more, Zhang Xiu is also in Nanzhong."

Gao Ding shook her head, stood up and paved back and forth after several times, he said, "Immediately send an envoy to the county's villages to let them come over and help us defend the city."

"No." The Gao clan members agreed and immediately turned around.

Gao Ding took a deep breath, showed a confident smile on her face, looked around at everyone, and said, "Don't worry. My Gao family has been entrenched in the county for many years and has a high prestige. Those tribal surnames will support us. As long as we fight against Zhang Ren for a few days, guard the city, and wait for the reinforcements of the tribal surnames to arrive, we can rest assured."

"promise."

Although everyone was very entertaining, they responded neatly on the surface.

.........

Yueli County has a population of hundreds of thousands, many of which live in deep mountains and forests, based on parishes. Because the Gao family is powerful, there are few conflicts between the tribes within the county.

Like the surnames of ministers, Meng and Gao, these villages are commanded by the big ones. The small ones have thousands of people, and the big ones have 10,000 or 20,000.

There are barbarians and Han people.

One of them is the surname [Lu]. It was originally a Han Chinese, and it is rumored to be descendants of Lu Buwei. However, daily life and customs have become barbaric.

morning.

On the road leading to Qiongdu City, the leader of the Lu surname, Lu Lin, led 500 troops and headed forward.

He had small braids on his head, brightly colored clothes, and a pair of leather boots on his feet. His face was rough and extremely majestic. He held a big gun and sat on a southern Zhongshan horse, crossing mountains and ridges, as if walking on flat ground.

The five hundred soldiers around were messy, with all kinds of weapons, but they were all very strong, and everyone was equipped with bows.

Just then, there was movement ahead.

"Beware." Lu Lin's ears moved and he immediately raised his gun and shouted. The five hundred people under his command quickly took action, but they had no rules and were in a mess.

After seeing the person coming clearly, Lu Lin let go of his vigilance.

"Who are you?" Lu Lin asked glared at the six people riding horses in front of him.

Among the six people riding horses, one was dressed as a civil servant. This man glanced at Lu Lin and others, especially stared at the banner of "Lu". He rode his horse very politely and set out: "The villain is the minor official under General Zhang Ren, Chen Li. General is Lu Lin of the Lu family, General Lu?"

He was going to follow this road to the Lu Family Village. Now that he encountered it on the road, it was a gratifying thing.

"You are so bold. Now our Yuezhi people are fighting against the Han army. How dare you appear here?" Lu Lin sneered, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, but he did not take action.

Chen Li was very quick and immediately felt confident. He smiled and said, "The general spoke with a Han army at one time, and the general's ancestors were also Han people."

"Hahaha. That happened hundreds of years ago. Besides, our ancestors were from Qin." Lu Lin sneered.

Chen Li shook his head. It is common for barbarians to become sinic and the Han people to become barbarians to become barbarians.

"General. Now our General Zhang killed Gaoshan and attacked Qiongdu City with the sharp victory. General? What do you think?"

Chen Li asked seriously after breathing out.

"Of course we are helping ourselves." Lu Lin fired his big gun and cut off the railway.

"What is your own person? Are your own person high-end? Or is it a general named Lu?" Chen Li shook his head gently and asked in a deep sense.

"What do you mean?" Lu Lin narrowed his eyes.

"The general has not been to the front line in person, and I don't know how powerful my Grand Sima is. The Han army is just around the corner to destroy all the troops in the southern central region. For example, General Zhang of my family, as long as you don't rescue Qiongdu City, you will definitely break through the city and kill Gao Ding within three days. Although it is a little troublesome to go to support, it will not change the ending. It will be useless for the general to go there, and he will still have his life."

Although Chen Li was kind, he was not weak in his temper.

Lu Lin was a little suspicious, but he still believed it a little. Meng Yuan and others were defeated in Zhuti City, Gao Ding retreated to the county, and Gao Shan was killed again.

He was hesitant to the fight, but Gao Ding had a high prestige and strong power. He did not dare to offend Gao Ding, so he rose up.

Otherwise, he would have killed Chen Li long ago.

But there is one thing that Lu Lin doesn't believe.

"Qiongdu City is very strong, and high-end and prestigious. Do you think Zhang Ren has broken through the city within three days? There must be a limit for his words."

Lu Lin sneered.

"Then why not look at the wall and take a look?" Chen Li smiled and bowed, "If General Zhang breaks through the city within three days, the general will wait and see here, and will not offend the Han army. The Grand Sima will not settle the score later."

"If General Zhang fails to break the city within three days, the general will rush to help Qiongdu City. Gao Ding will only blame the general for coming too late. It is not considered offending Gao Ding. No one is at a loss, right?"

Lu Lin was suspicious at first, but when he saw Chen Li's swearing, he felt a little convinced in his heart and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"This person is so confident. Could it be that Zhang Ren can really break through Qiongdu City within three days? The combat effectiveness of the Han army is simply unimaginable."

"Okay. I believe your nonsense and see what's going on here." Lu Lin nodded and said.

"The general will not regret it." Chen Li was happy and said with a smile.

Let alone three days.

Chen Li was very confident in Zhang Ren, maybe it would take one or two days.

............

evening.

Qiongdu City.

Gaoding Mansion, in the hall, the oil lamp illuminates the hall as if it was daytime. Gaoding crossed his hands and placed his back waist, paced back and forth, and showed a gloomy look on his face.

"Why haven't the reinforcements from the big surnames arrived yet?" Gao Ding kicked the case over, and the pen and inkstone on it fell all over the floor.

"When you repel the Han army, you must cause trouble for them."

A ferocious look appeared on Gao Jing's face, gritting her teeth.
