A small ancient town, but now it is the command center of Zhou Jiyun, the general of Qi State. Although the town www.biquge.info is small, the defensive system established around the town firmly chokes the throat of the Chu army to aid Luzhou.

Zhou Jiyun, the commander of the army of Qi and the right-hand man of Prince Cao Yun, compared with Guo Xiancheng, who is over fifty years old, Zhou Jiyun is only thirty-five years old, and is unanimously regarded by the whole Qi as the most likely successor to inherit Cao Yun's mantle. As Guo Xiancheng returned from a crushing defeat in the confrontation with the Ming Kingdom, Zhou Jiyun became even more prominent.

The small ancient town was not eye-catching at first, but Zhou Jiyun began to operate here when the war broke out at the beginning, and as the war deepened step by step, it was not until the Luzhou War broke out and the Chu Emperor was trapped that the importance of this small ancient town suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao completely understood that everything was premeditated. If it weren't for the premeditation, Zhou Jiyun would not have focused on running this small ancient town from the beginning.

To put it bluntly, this point, except for preventing the Chu army from rescuing Luzhou, is useless at all.

There was a faint sound of earth-shattering shouts outside, but Zhou Jiyun didn't seem to hear it, and was sitting by the brazier with great interest, roasting a steamed bun with an iron fork. Tossing and turning, extremely patient, once one side was roasted to a golden brown, he carefully peeled off this layer, and stuffed it into his mouth with a smile to chew, but his men were not idle, turning over one side and roasting the other side.

And during this period, from time to time, one by one heralds rushed in, and these heralds seemed to be accustomed to their general's style, and they didn't care what Zhou Jiyun was doing, just loudly reported to him the war situation ahead. And Zhou Jiyun was chewing on these steamed bun crumbs while casually conveying the new military order. The soldiers, who had received the order, turned and ran out again.

A middle-aged man wrapped in a thick cotton coat walked in, dragged a chair and sat beside Zhou Jiyun by himself, lifted the copper kettle simmering in the brazier, poured himself a cup of hot water and held it in the palm of his hand, and slowly tasted it one bite at a time, as if he was drinking a good tea.

It wasn't until all the heralds came out of the big tent that the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Jiyun, you look like this, if the prince sees it, I'm afraid I'll reprimand you again." ”

Zhou Jiyun laughed: "Brother Yue, it's okay, there is no mother, the prince reprimands me twice, and I won't lose a piece of meat." Besides, I've always been very well-behaved in front of the Prince, and he can't find my fault, as for here, but my territory, the Prince still came to me? ”

Zhou Jiyun called Brother Yue is his staff, specializing in the preparation and deployment of logistics materials for Zhou Jiyun Yue Kaishan, the name sounds mighty, but he is a literati who does not understand martial arts, but this person is extremely accomplished in arithmetic, and was recruited by Zhou Jiyun's ideas.

"Don't forget, the last time the prince came to your tent out of nowhere and whipped you." Yue Kaishan smiled and said.

"Brother Yue, don't hit people in the face." Zhou Jiyun said dissatisfiedly: "That time was an accident. ”

"Accident? Later, you found a mistake and demoted your personal guard commander by several levels, and the personal guard who was on duty that day went to the front-line troops, and to this day, is there anyone still alive? Yue Kaishan said lightly.

The look on Zhou Jiyun's face gradually faded: "They are my own soldiers, but they haven't even come to report to me for such a major event as the prince arriving at my camp, don't say that the prince doesn't allow them to report, if they want to inform me, there is a way, hehe, such a guy, what's the use of staying?" ”

Yue Kaishan shook his head. "Guo Xiancheng's defeat this time has been heavily reprimanded by His Majesty, and your status is even more prominent. But I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing? ”

"Of course it's a good thing." Zhou Jiyun's face has returned to normal, "Guo Xiancheng has always looked down on me, this time I hit the iron plate, haha, I'm very happy." ”

"It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? You're also a little too gloating! Yue Kaishan said angrily: "With the same qi and branches, he lost so badly, are you really happy?" ”

"Of course it's fun." Zhou Jiyun stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his mouth, "There is only one position as the commander of Great Qi, he is undefeated, how can I sit on it smoothly?" ”

"The prince is still there!" Yue Kaishan reminded.

"I'm young!" Zhou Jiyun said with a smile: "And the last time I watched the prince's momentum, it seems that the promotion to the grandmaster is just around the corner, and after this battle is certain, I estimate that the prince will step down." ”

"Even if he leaves office, His Majesty may not have the post of commander-in-chief again!" Yue Kaishan shook his head: "You are too optimistic, if my guess is correct, Your Majesty is afraid that he will no longer tolerate the appearance of a commander in command of the Great Qi Army, and the prince is an exception." But that's about it. ”

Zhou Jiyun looked at Yue Kaishan in amazement: "Brother Yue, aren't you joking?" ”

"Not a joke, of course." Yue Kaishan said: "The State of Chu is going to suffer a lot of vitality this time, and the strong enemy of the State of Chu is gone, of course Your Majesty will no longer tolerate a person who commands all the soldiers and horses in the world to be under him." The prince was suddenly ready to break through the threshold of the grandmaster at this juncture, and it was not in accordance with His Majesty's wishes. ”

Zhou Jiyun rubbed his chin: "Brother Yue, you have a point." But it doesn't matter, as long as you can suppress Guo Xiancheng at that time. If the prince doesn't lead troops, even if I am not the commander, in terms of seniority, no one can compare with me, and those old fellows want to compete with me, but it is not enough to see. ”

Yue Kaishan smiled, "That's right, but general, what do you think of Qin Feng of the Ming Kingdom?" Guo Xiancheng is not a stupid person, he lost a lot! ”

"I haven't fought him, how do you know what he's doing?" Zhou Jiyun said disapprerovingly: "But don't worry, Brother Yue, I'm not an arrogant maniac." Guo Xiancheng and Deng Pu were beaten miserably by the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, can I not be careful? I've already collected all his war reports and studied them! Maybe we'll run into it later. Be prepared. ”

"If you think so, I'm relieved." Yue Shankai nodded again and again. "Mingguo, it's menacing."

"No matter how fierce he is, when we clean up the Chu State, we will go back to deal with the Ming State, our Emperor His Majesty thinks like this, this time he was forced by the Ming State to give up the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling, and Taoyuan, with our Majesty's arrogant temperament, I don't say it on the surface, I am only afraid of being angry. This time, he swallowed all the main forces of the Chu State in one bite, and the Chu State will not be able to jump for a few days after the autumn, so you can ignore it for the time being, how can our Majesty not find the reason for Qin Feng to take such a bad breath! ”

Zhou Jiyun smiled.

Yue Kaishan clasped his hands together: "The idea of the general coincides with me. Of course, we have to completely finish the Chu State, if the Chu State still has a breath, I'm afraid this matter will not be so simple. ”

"This time, I can't think of any room for Chu to turn over." Zhou Jiyun said lightly.

"How's the notebook on the other side?"

"The old guy is not worth mentioning. After fighting for so long, he still wants to break through from me to aid Luzhou, this alone makes me not have to pay too much attention to him, if he dares to break his wrist and withdraw the army categorically, I really have to admire him a little. Cheng Lao'er is on defense, first-class in the world, and on offense, it's almost meaningless. ”

"Even if he retreats, will you let him retreat safely?" Yue Kaishan said with a smile.

"Of course not, he won't retreat, let's just stay up here slowly, wait until the fire is enough, and then defeat him in one fell swoop, if he dares to retreat, it will be better, bite the enemy's tail and fight, I like it the most."

"In that case, why do you still say that he dares to retreat, but how much do you admire him?"

"He dared to retreat, which means that he can still see the situation clearly! A strong man breaks his wrist, and not everyone can do it. Zhou Jiyun said with a smile.

The curtain opened, a cold wind rushed in, and an officer strode in.

"General, the Chu army is holding the knot and increasing its strength to storm us. Looking at their appearance, I am afraid that tonight will be a night battle, and they are still sending a large number of ordnance to the front line. The officer said.

"Desperately!" Zhou Jiyun raised his eyelids, "That's it?" ”

"Their cavalry has not appeared, and the last general sent spies, and they actually went in the direction of Zhou County." The officer said.

"Is this an attempt to lure our cavalry out to a decisive battle with him?" Zhou Jiyun laughed. "Don't pay attention to him, let our cavalry hold the left flank, if they don't come to attack, don't leave him alone, if he dares to come, lure them in to fight."

"Yes, the Admiral understands." The officer clenched his fists and left.

"In the direction of Zhou County?" Yue Kaishan was a little confused, "What do they want to do?" In the direction of Zhou County, there was no battlefield suitable for a decisive cavalry battle. ”

"Little clever, it is nothing more than to lure my cavalry to follow and pursue first, and then think of avoiding my main cavalry force and then attacking my base camp. Cheng Lao'er still wants to break through from me and rush to Luzhou to save his emperor Laozi. Zhou Jiyun sneered: "How could I fall for him?" ”

"Or send scouts to follow, just in case. Cheng Wu must have been a veteran. Jiang Tao, who gave advice, is not a good type. ”

"Do you want to say this?" Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "This kind of thing, there is no need to order it at all, there have been spies and scouts staring at them for a long time, if they have any abnormal movements, there will definitely be news back." When the time comes, we will respond to the situation. Anyway, their emperor Lao Tzu is in Luzhou, and we have this treasure in hand, so we are not afraid of what waves they will make. ”

"That's right. Cheng Wuben has always been loyal to the Min family, when Min Ruoying deprived him of military power, he went back without saying a word, this time Min Ruoying was in trouble, he had to save him no matter what. Yue Kaishan nodded......
