"The three armies can seize the commander, but every man cannot seize the ambition!"

Looking at Jing Ke's limping back, Fang Li felt very regretful and regretted that he could not keep such a swordsman with his strong martial arts skills by his side.

Fortunately, after knowing Jing Ke's whereabouts, in addition to being able to give Jing Xi an explanation when he goes back, he may be able to use Jing Ke to do something grand and vigorously for himself one day. Such a person with a straightforward personality and a promise of a thousand gold may be born to be an assassin!

The interlude came to an end. After this storm, all the soldiers of the three armies were stern. Looking at Du Peng and other more than ten bloody heads, the bandit leader who changed from a mountain king to a soldier reminded his subordinates: "Which son of the turtle caused trouble for me, I will destroy your whole family! I have made contributions on the battlefield, and I am still worried about whether there is no food or drink or no women?"

At noon the next day, five thousand soldiers arrived at Chenggao Camp. Zhang Liao and Yan Liang led nearly a hundred generals from Guo State to welcome him. In addition to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, they all stepped forward to pay homage to Ji Shubi: "I will pay my respects to the lord!"

Fang Li rode his horse over Ji Shubi, stretched out his hands and greeted: "The generals and schoolmen don't have to be too polite!"

The generals and officers of Guo State looked at each other, and they dared not speak out. Moreover, Ji Shubi did not say anything and they dared not act rashly, so they could only let Fang Li show his power.

"I learned this trick from Prime Minister Cao!"

Fang Li said in his heart that he was innocent. Since he had learned to cut his hair and take the lead, it would be harmless to learn to hunt in Xuchang. Guo State should not be as loyal and righteous as Guan Yunchang.

After entering the camp, in order to prevent the Guo army from competing for Ji Shubi, Fang Li arranged all his troops around the commander's tent to guard the Guo army and placed the Guo army on the periphery. As long as the Guo army had a little disturbance, he would use Ji Shubi to threaten them not to act rashly.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, the whole army had enough food and drink. With Fang Li's order, more than 40,000 soldiers drove northward, aiming at Pinglu, the king of Yu.

According to the scouts, when Xian Zhen went north, he left behind 70,000 troops for Wei Chou, and after several consecutive battles, 30,000 troops were lost. Wei Chou's troops were estimated to be only about 40,000.

However, the troops led by Fang Li had reached more than 43,000, and the nearly 10,000 troops in Louzhai Zhou Yu had already gained the upper hand in military strength. With the generals such as Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Ji Ling, Zhurong, Fang Li was sure to drive Wei Chou, the martial artist, out of Jiang Pass, and even encircled and annihilated him.

Pinglu.

This city has a history of 600 years. It has been established since King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou and has been the capital of Yu State. Now the flag of Jin State is flying above the city.

After a series of defeats, Wei Chou's previous conceit had already been wiped out. He led 20,000 defeated soldiers to return to Pinglu and meet Zhao Dun to discuss the next plan.

"General Wei, the morale of the Guo and Yu coalition forces is now in full swing. Let's close the city gate and wait for help." Zhao Dun made a suggestion with a helpless look on his face.

Wei Chou gently stroked the bandaged wound and sighed: "I originally wanted to wipe out Guo State, but who knew that he had been trapped by Fang Li and lost his troops and generals. He was really shameless to face his lord! After returning to Quwo, wouldn't he be laughed at by Xian Zhen and his son?"

Zhao Dun comforted him: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and General Wei does not have to worry. As long as we do our best, we will not blame us even if we come here."

Wei Chou said, "Then I will pass on the orders to close the four gates of Pinglu and stand for help. I still have 40,000 troops in my hand, and I don't believe that Fang Li can attack the city."

"General, the Guoyu coalition forces won a great victory in Hanoi and were in a strong spirit. They would definitely fight back against Pinglu. Let's send someone to escort Ji Chan, Baili Xi and others back to Quwo, so as to avoid being taken back by the enemy and rescued Ji Chan and Baili Xi." Zhao Dun tentatively said carefully.

After Xian Zhen took down Pinglu, he decided to escort Ji Chan, Baili Xi, Du Xi and other kings and ministers of Yu Kingdom back to Quwo and handed them over to Jin Gong Guizhu for disposal. Before he left, Li Ji was abducted.

In a rage, Guizhu ordered Xian Zhen to attack Louzhai and strive to pacify the western part of Yu as soon as possible. At the same time, he sent envoys to discuss with Fang Li, whether Ji Chan or Baili Xi could be used to exchange for Li Ji.

In order to avoid giving someone a handle, Fang Li secretly killed the envoy of Jin and destroyed the body and traced the traces. Then, he sent Yan Ti to Chu as quickly as possible. This matter was done very secretly and very few people knew about it, including Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao and others in Louzhai.

In this way, Li Ji did not get it back, but Ji Chan, Baili Xi, Du Xi and other monarchs and ministers of Yu Kingdom were still detained in Pinglu, so Zhao Dun proposed to send Ji Chan and others back to Jin today.

When the Guo and Yu coalition forces counterattack Pinglu in the future, they can defend themselves. If they cannot defend themselves, they will retreat northward. They will not lose Ji Chan, Baili Xi and others and cannot explain to Duke Jin and Xian Zhen.

After hearing Zhao Dun's words, Wei Chou looked angry and said angrily: "General Zhao actually underestimated me so much that he could only siege the city ten times since ancient times. I defended the city with 40,000 troops, and the Guoyu coalition forces were only more than 50,000, and each had ulterior motives. I don't believe they could step into Pinglu. Ji Chan, Baili Xi and others continued to detain them in Pinglu City, and there was no need to send them anywhere!"

After hitting a nail, Zhao Dun was very depressed and immediately bowed down: "Okay, General Wei is the main general. If you say you don't give it, don't give it away! Finally, the general will go to the city to inspect it."

There were endless scouts from Jin State, sending news from all over the country to Pinglu. At this moment, Fang Li led his troops from Hanoi to Chenggao, and Zhou Yu from Louzhai had no movement yet.

In the evening, Zhao Dun added three thousand soldiers to the city wall, causing the night defense to rise to 5,000 troops, and a slight storm would sound the horn.

When it was late at night, the 450 cavalry led by Xiang Yu had quietly approached the city of Pinglu. Under the guidance of Baili Susu, they entered a forest in the south of Pinglu City. They kept their mouths and picked the bells and quietly touched Pinglu City.

"Brother Xiang, there are at least five or six thousand defenders on the city wall!"

Ji Bu, who was responsible for spying on the intelligence, walked around the city wall and strode back to the woods to report to Xiang Yu, "The four gates are closed, and there are torches on the city wall. It is probably not easy for us to break Pinglu!"

Zhonglimei and Yu Ziqi also hesitated and said, "Yes, according to the information we collected on the road, there are at least 40,000 Jin troops in Pinglu City. With these people in the attack, it's a bit..."

Xiang Yu stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha...why, the three brothers are timid and we don't need to take down Pinglu. We just need to break through the city gate and rescue Mr. Baili's family."

"The Jin army has such strict defense and we have no ladder to attack the city, how can we break the door?" Yu Ziqi asked worriedly.
