Before Fang Li recruited the new army, Yu State had only 30,000 troops.

Among them, 8,000 people stationed in Jiangguan all year round, 6,000 people guarded Chiyang, and about 3,000 were arranged in the south and other fortresses, leaving about 15,000 troops guarding the royal city.

Baili Shi knew that the strength of Yu State was far from being able to compete with the powerful Jin State. Without the foreign aid of Guo State, it was undoubtedly a dream to resist the attack of Jin State!

The Yu State has a population of 600,000, while the Jin State has a population of 6.5 million. Moreover, due to Chong'er's good governance, this number is still growing rapidly. The population gap between the two sides is as high as ten times, and the overall national strength is huge.

In terms of military affairs, the State of Jin has 400,000 elite soldiers, 30,000 war horses and 5,000 chariots, and the number of troops ranks among the top five in the world. However, the State of Yu has only 32,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 war horses and 400 chariots, which is even larger than the population gap between the two countries.

It can be said that this is not a war of the same level at all. Baili Shi knew that even if he had three heads and six arms, he could not reverse the huge gap between the two sides. He had no choice but to take the risk and planned a scene where the generals were incompatible, and sent Fang Li to Chi Yang as the chief general.

For this plan, Baili Si took great pains to make things difficult for Fang Li and even deliberately made things difficult for him to cause conflict.

After Fang Li rushed to Chiyang to take office, Baili Si left deputy general Han Qi, led 5,000 people to guard the royal city, and secretly left Pinglu with 10,000 people, went to the mountains west of the village to find ambush sites, and cut down trees to create trees, mined rocks and piled up rolling stones.

Just when Baili Shi was busy, he thought that the Jin army was almost trapped, and there was news that Fang Li built a city wall in Chiyang Zeng, deceived 80,000 people from Liang and Guo, and recruited 8,000 new troops from it.

"What, Fang Li, this kid, betrayed 80,000 people in one breath?"

At that time, Bailishi, who was cutting down trees, put down his axe and showed an incredible look. It seemed that his father valued this boy and was not aimless.

But then Baili Si found that Fang Li's actions might have caused his plan to fail. Chi Yang's defenders expanded to 10,000 and strengthened and increased the city wall. In this way, it was difficult to determine whether the Jin army would use Chi Yang as a breakthrough.

Looking at the rolling stones and wood in the dangerous places of the mountains, these were the hard work of Bailishi and ten thousand soldiers for more than ten days. Bailishi really couldn't bear to put it into the flow of water.

Baili Si also thought about transferring Fang Li from Chi Yang again and moving the 80,000 people who surrendered to Yu Kingdom to Pinglu, but his father Baili Xi did not agree to remove Fang Li, even if he did a show!

Secondly, Bailishi thought this was too obvious, and she underestimated the IQ of the Jin people and transferred a general who had made great contributions from the front line. It would be strange if there was no fraud here!

Moreover, Baili Shi was afraid that Fang Li would cause panic after leaving Chi Yang and lead to fluctuations in the new army he had just recruited. The people who had just surrendered to Yu had other ideas, so they had to give up.

Just as Bailishi was hesitating, information came from Jiangguan. Jin general Wei Chou brought 300 people to escort Li Ji to Jiangguan's feet, and requested to open the door and send Li Ji to Pinglu.

"What medicine is sold in Guizhu's gourd? How could he send his woman as a hostage?"

Bailishi decided to lead his troops down the mountain to Jiangguan to guard the garrison. He was worried that the rolling stones and landslides on both sides of the valley would block the road or cause casualties after the team left, so he took another day to deal with it before going down the mountain.

At this moment, the bad news came, like a bolt from the blue!

"What? Teng Xun, Lin Yue, and Zhang Hu all died in Jiangguan, and their entire army was wiped out?"

Bailishi didn't believe his ears, and he couldn't even believe in his dreams. He just lost Jiangguan, which had 12,000 people stationed in one night.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Bailishi couldn't help but burst into tears and mourn: "It's me, Bailishi, is incompetent. I'm sorry to my lord, and I'm sorry to the soldiers of the three armies. How can I face the world?"

At this moment, the scout again sent information, and Xian Zhen ordered the fierce general Wei Chou to be the vanguard, and he led 50,000 troops to open the way. He then led a 150,000 army and then rushed towards Pinglu like a tide.

"No, I have to return to the royal city to protect the enemy!" Baili Shi calmed down from grief and decided to lead his troops back to Pinglu to defend the enemy.

Baili Shi also knew that the gap between the two sides was huge, and the defenders of Pinglu were only 15,000 troops. How long could they last when facing the 200,000 Jin army that was overwhelming?

"As a minister, you should die for your country!"

Baili Shi turned his horse over and was determined to die. "Teng, Lin and other generals have already died in the border. We should also fight to protect the royal city. The city is in, and the city is destroyed and the city is destroyed and the people are dead!"

Pinglu has monarchs who are seen by Baili, parents, children, brothers and sisters, and civil and military officials of Yu State who are not allowed to be seen without help. Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, they cannot retreat!

Under Baili Shi's leadership, this 10,000 Yu army was determined to die and marched eastward to fight to the death for their brothers and sisters.

"Father, walk slowly, walk slowly!"

Baili Susu and Zhurong, dressed in military uniform and hung bows and arrows on their backs, rushed and galloped all the way. After passing Louzhai Pass, they finally found the traces of the army. Baili Susu stared at Bailisi's flag and rode his horse to chase, shouting loudly.

Baili Shi heard the shouts in the army, pulled the horse and took the reins. He turned around and found that his beloved daughter, who had been away from him for half a month, was chasing her. He couldn't help but smile kindly: "Su Su, why are you here? Didn't you follow your master to stay in Chiyang?"

Baili Susu turned over and dismounted, grabbed Baili Shi's reins forward, and said breathlessly: "Father, you can't go back! Master... General Fang asked me to chase you. Tell you that you are going back to Pinglu, just hitting the stone with eggs, and you must never go back!"

Baili Shi smiled bitterly and asked back, "Where is Fang Li now?"

"General Fang received a letter from Yu Gong in Chiyang, asking him to lead his troops to serve the king, but he did not do so."

Baili Susu pulled the reins hard and prevented Baili from watching. In order to prevent his father from getting angry, he changed the title of Fang Li to "General Fang".

Baili Shi frowned and showed an unhappy look: "Oh... the lord is in trouble. As a minister, will he not save him when he dies?"

Baili Susu defended Fang Li: "My master... General Fang said that the general was not willing to accept the orders of the king. He did not return to Pinglu because of the sake of Yu State, but led his troops to Louzhai to guard the camp. He planned to ask Duke Yu to lead the officials and concubines of the royal city to seek refuge in the west, so that the Yu State would not perish!"

Baili Shi pondered for a moment, and the other party expressed his affirmation of Fang Li's behavior: "Well... Fang Li did this very decisively, and he did have the style of a general. Your grandfather did not read it wrong. He defended the Louzhai, moved the court westward, and used the terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain to deal with the Jin army. This is the only way for our Yu Kingdom to avoid destruction."

Seeing that his father agreed to Fang Li’s approach, Baili Susu showed joy: “So, has his father agreed to stop entering?”

Bailishi shook his head: "It is enough to have Fang Li guarding the Lou Village. I must return to Pinglu to rescue the Jia. It is only 150 miles from Jiangguan to Pinglu. The Jin army will surrounded the lord at any time. I must go to rescue the Jia himself and protect Yu Gong to take refuge in the west."

Baili Susu showed a worried expression: "But you will be in danger in this way, my father!"

Bailishi smiled and patted his daughter's shoulder: "Susu, the royal city has your mother and grandfather, and your brothers and sisters. Can my father not save him when he dies? Without my protection, can they reach Louzhai from the encirclement of the Jin army cavalry?"

Baili Susu's eyes were already wet: "Then I will go back to save your father with my father! Daddy wants to go back to save your father, and Susu also wants to go back to save his mother. If my father cannot promise me, please don't force my daughter. We father and daughter fight side by side and live and die together!"

Bailishi couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and he patted his daughter's shoulder hard again: "Okay... I am my Bailishi's daughter. Since that's the case, our father and daughter will side by side on the battlefield and rescue our family from the royal city."
