Eighty-four days and round places
,.
Wei Chou suffered consecutive defeats, not only did he lose his troops, but he also lost the King of Yu City that Xian Zhen took. He was so despairing that he was in full swing in the battle with Fang Li.
After losing Pinglu, Wei Chou was as anxious as a dog that was a broken family. He led 20,000 defeated soldiers to flee to Jiangguan, trying to control the northern gate of Yu State, and in the future, he would lift the siege of Zhao State, and he could make a comeback at any time and attack Pinglu.
"Yingbu is waiting here for a long time, where will you go when the bandits go?"
When the Jin army arrived at the city of Jiangguan, a war drum sounded quietly on the city wall. The flags of Yu Kingdom were raised one after another. Yingbuti was wearing a sword and loudly commanded the defenders on the top of the city to fire arrows.
It turned out that after receiving the news that Fang Li led his troops north, Ying Bu and Qu Yi divided into two groups, leaving Qu Yi to continue to take charge of Louzhai. Ying Bu led three thousand elite troops to quietly leave Louzhai Pass, heading eastward, crossing mountains and ridges, and on the night before, the troops were at the city and recovered Jiang Pass in one fell swoop.
Arrows on the top of the city were firing at once, as dense as locusts, flags waving, covering the sky and the sun. I wonder how many ambush soldiers were there?
In addition, Jiangguan City has high walls and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. After Wei Chou had seven or eight hundred lives, he could only order the entire army to change its route eastward, cross the Black Mountain and enter Zhao State to join the main general Xianzhen.
There were only 3,000 soldiers in Yingburi, and he did not dare to go out of seclusion to chase him, so as not to backfire. He allowed Wei Chou to lead his troops to leave, and at the same time sent envoys to rush to Pinglu and Fangli to report the news.
At this time, Pinglu was filled with joy, and the people took to the streets to celebrate the recovery of the capital, and finally no longer had to be slaves to the destruction of the country. Everyone bowed to Fang Li, and they were almost kneeling and kowtowed. At this moment, Fang Li's prestige almost reached its peak!
Fang Li didn't care about accepting the worship of the people. He still had to do the trick on the surface. He first placed Ji Shubi "properly", and then took Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others to mourn Ji Chan, and buried his former Duke Yu Guang.
The Jin army had the possibility of counterattacking at any time. Fang Li discussed with Zhou Yu and decided to order Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 Guoyu coalition forces to Louzhai to assist Qu Yi in guarding the pass, and Yan Liang to lead 10,000 Guoyu coalition forces to Jiangguan to assist Yingbu; as long as he could defend these two passes, he could block the Jin army north of Wangwu Mountain, making it difficult for him to step beyond the line.
Seeing that the Yu army had recovered the capital but he was unable to get freedom for a long time, Ji Shubi protested to Fang Li continuously: "General Fang Li, you have already regained Pinglu with our Guo army. Should I let me return home?"
Since Ji Shubi, the fat sheep, had already entered the tiger's mouth, Fang Li naturally would not let him go. He discussed with Zhou Yu and decided to adopt a bold plan to force the merger of the two countries of Guo and Yu into one country, and then boil the frogs in warm water and slowly devour the power and land of Guo.
"Duke Guo, although the Jin army retreated, our desire to destroy us will not die. If Guo and Yu are divided, they will perish, and if they are united, they will prosper!"
Early this morning, Fang Li wore a full dress and wore a sword on his waist. He led more than ten generals including Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Ji Ling and more than ten generals and sisters to Ji Shubi's residence, and pulled Guo Gong, who had just opened his eyes, to discuss national affairs.
Ji Shubi was shocked by the situation and said stutteringly: "How is it legal and how is it divided?"
Fang Li sat opposite Ji Shubi and said calmly: "Guo and Yu were descendants of the Ji family. They were a family hundreds of years ago. Now, facing powerful princes, they are at risk of their country being destroyed at any time. Only by combining two into one can they compete with the powerful."
"Together two into one?" Ji Shubi was shocked, "The people of our Guo State will not agree!"
Fang Li sneered, "If I hadn't defeated the Jin army with my generals, the iron hooves of Jin had stepped into Xingyang, and then the mountains and rivers were broken and the families were destroyed, would your people in Yu agree?"
I was killed by a knife and I was fish. Ji Shubi also knew that he was unable to resist in this situation, so he could only compromise first and then make plans. "Since the general believes that the merger of the two countries is more beneficial to the country, then combine it into one. But should the country name be Guo or Yu?"
Fang Li smiled slightly: "Guo and Yu are both weak in the hearts of the princes, and they are difficult to return, and the people of the two countries also regard themselves as weak. Now the two countries are one, which is unprecedented. If you want to establish a new country name, it is better to set the country name - Fang?" (This country name has troubled the swordsman for several months, and I have been unable to make up my mind, so I will use the protagonist's surname to forget it!)
"The sky is round and the place is in the center of Guo and Yu. The kingly spirit suddenly appears, and the country is long!" Zhou Yu followed suit, "I think it is the most appropriate to determine the country's name!"
Ji Shubi also knew that his resistance was useless, so he simply let him mercy: "Okay... you can decide whatever country you want."
Ji Shubi said and pointed at Fang Li, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Ji Ling in sequence: "You can use any surname, Zhao, Zhou, Ji, Fang, you can take whatever you want, use whatever you want!"
Fang Li smiled and said, "Haha... the lord is wrong to blame Weichen. There are already Zhou, Zhao, and Ji in the world, so you can only use the word Fang!"
Ji Shubi was still a little unwilling to give up and stretched his neck and asked, "If the two countries merge, who will be the Duke?"
"The two lords take turns to rule, each of them for one year, and the military and political power will be assisted by ministers. You only need to enjoy peace." Fang Li said serious and said his behavior of forcing the palace to be righteous and stern, worrying about the country and the people.
I heard that I had also made myself the nominal lord, Ji Shubi was like grabbing a life-saving straw, thinking for a moment, slowly agreed: "Then let's settle it, but the first lord must be done first."
Fang Li ordered Zhou Yu: "Gongjin immediately took the pen to write an edict, and asked the lord to stamp a large seal!"
Zhou Yu quickly wrote a scattered manifesto boasting about how brilliant the future of the two countries of Guo and Yu will be, how strong the country will be, and the people's livelihood will become more and more prosperous. Not only will it no longer be invaded by the Jin army, but it will also be able to fight for the world and become one of the strong countries.
After the edict was drafted, Ji Shubi was forced to stamp the seal on it. Zhou Yu immediately sent someone to Xingyang to inform the decision of the merger of the civil and military countries of Guo State. There were no soldiers among them. If they dared to resist, they would launch an army in the name of the anti-edict's failure to obey the imperial edict, and strive to make their troops famous.
The country's name was decided and the lord was decided. Fang Li discussed with Zhou Yu and decided to temporarily set Fang Guo's capital in Hanoi, leaving Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 troops to guard Pinglu, and other soldiers followed Fang Li. Zhou Yu went south to Hanoi to meet Chen Deng and Liao Hua.
Two days later, Fang Li and Zhou Yu led all the soldiers to join Ji Shubi into Hanoi. Chen Deng and Liao Hua went out to greet him, and reported to Fang Li that he had recruited another 3,000 new troops these days, which were being trained by Liao Hua day and night.
Fang Li was satisfied with Chen Deng and Liao Hua's performance, so he sent an envoy to Wenxi, asking Shen Pei to take Ji Zhai to Hanoi hostage, and "jointly take charge of the government" with Ji Shubi, and become two puppet lords. When the future matures, he will become independent on Ji and become king.
