The battle is already approaching Jianchun Gate.

As far as the eye can see, inside and outside the Jianchun Gate, countless people and horses are galloping back and forth. Defending, attacking, surrounding, or interspersed, tens of thousands of soldiers are entangled in one place, like a pot of boiling water, evaporating the lives of soldiers every moment.

Yecheng, a towering city that can be called the cornerstone of the north of the Great Jin River, has no place to be safe. The soldiers who had gathered on the castle tower were much more sparse after being killed and wounded by the rain of arrows, and most of them carefully hid behind the female wall, ready to fight at any time.

Even Hu Liuniang had already pulled out her sharp short knife, which she loved like a treasure, showing her eager spirit. It's just that this heroine occasionally looks a little confused. On one side is the court soldiers and horses that she respects away, and on the other side is the army of Hebei horse thieves who are out of the green forest, according to common sense, she should chop up the Chu Kun who chattered around her and persuaded her to retreat, and then put it into Ji Sang's command...... But that doesn't seem right, right? There's always something that doesn't go right......

Thinking like this in her heart, Hu Liuniang's face changed again and again.

Until Chu Kun shouted with joy: "Ji Sang is dead!" Kisan has been killed! ”

The battlefield centered on Jianchun Gate seemed to suddenly fall silent because of Chu Kun's shouting.

There were even a few places where the soldiers on both sides had stopped their movements in the fierce fighting.

In the morning breeze blowing across the battlefield, only a few people on the Jianchun Gate were elated, dancing: "Kill Jisang!" ”

"Kill Jisang!" Ran Zhan shouted in a sharp children's voice, and he walked out from behind Hu Liuniang, and he didn't know when he had an extra short knife in his hand. Hu Liuniang pulled him back angrily: "What are the children doing together?" ”

"I'm ......" Ran Zhan struggled with his hands and feet: "I'm going to fight!" I'm going to kill the Hu people! "It's a pity that to be able to gain a foothold on Taihang Mountain, which is surrounded by wolves, Hu Liuniang's skills are really extraordinary. Under her capture, no matter how much Ran Zhan struggled, it was to no avail, and he was finally driven back to the corner near the pheasant moat outside.

And under the flag pier on the right side of the city tower, Lu Zhi pressed his left shoulder with his palm, and under the cover of his palm, blood gushed out from the edge of the huge wound torn by the arrow cluster, and soon half of his robe was dyed red. Maybe it was the effect of the severe pain, or maybe it was too much blood loss, Lu Zhi felt a little blurred.

Ever since he got out of trouble in Wei County's prison city, Lu Zhi has never stopped thinking for a moment. He used all his wisdom almost frantically, simulating and planning various ideas in his mind again and again, and repeatedly deducing various possible situations.

Even when he was seriously injured at this moment, he still did not stop.

The road in front of you is undoubtedly dangerous, and if you take one wrong step, you will never recover, and there will be no chance to turn over; But if it can succeed, it will turn the political situation of Dajin into a new situation. Lu Zhi constantly encouraged himself. Your Highness treats me as a countryman, and I will treat me as a countryman. In any case, the melee that involved most of the imperial court clans had only ended for less than half a year.

As long as you can grasp the present, first take advantage of the short-term chaos caused by the death of Sima Teng, the king of Xincai, contact the old department of the king of Chengdu in the Jisang army to attack in one fell swoop, and at the same time overwhelm the two forces of the thief army and the beggar army, and then occupy Yecheng with Sima Mao, the son of the king of Chengdu. Then, it was the moment when the two armies faced each other and won the decisive battle. Nothing is yet decided, everything still has a chance!

Of course, once Yecheng is lost, Hebei will be shaken, and the states of Hebei and other prefectures close to the Sanwei region will inevitably respond. However, the close relationship between the king of Chengdu and the Xiongnu Liu Han in the past determined that Lu Zhi had endless means to use, which was enough to contain Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi, who were in Jinyang. As for Jizhou...... The power of the king of Chengdu is like a towering giant tree, although the trunk has been destroyed, but there is still an intricate foundation, in comparison, Ding Shao, who has only been in office for four months, is too easy to deal with.

At present, there is only one main difficulty in this plan: almost most of Lu Zhi's former colleagues in Yecheng have been mercilessly dealt with by the King of the East China Sea. If there is no effective companion to implement it, no matter how precise the plan is, it will only be a flash in the pan.

Therefore, I have to pin my hopes on this Lu Daoming.

In the second year of Tai'an, Lu Ji led his army south to Luoyang. However, the general and the governor of Hebei, who was relied on by the king of Chengdu as the Great Wall, could not control the generals, and as a result, he was defeated at Heqiao, burying the 280,000 army that Lu Zhi had worked hard in Hebei for several years to build. Seeing that the hegemony of the king of Chengdu was empty, Lu Zhi was furious and killed the Lu clan.

After a lapse of five years, Lu Zhi knew that there was still a survivor in the Lu clan. And this fish that slipped through the net has become a brave and well-known general in the state.

Through the conversation with He Yun, Chu Kun and others, Lu Zhi clearly felt the admiration and trust of the soldiers for Lu Yao. Such feelings can only be accumulated through victory after victory. And in the battles he observed with his own eyes, Lu Zhi was even more sure of this: Lu Yao was an excellent general, perhaps, even better than his uncles, Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong, who were known as extremely talented.

Lu Zhi believed that Lu Yao would be able to complete this difficult task. He was able to make the most of what he had offered, so that he could defeat the thief armies of Jisang and Shile, and in the time that followed, organize them into a force that the prince of Chengdu and the disappeared young man could rely on.

But is this man reliable? In order to win over this person, Lu Zhi has made unimaginable promises, but he still can't guarantee anything. Because this Lu Daoming is really incomprehensible!

Lu Zhi's eyes darkened, and he felt his energy gushing outward with the unstoppable blood, and his hands and feet gradually cooled down.

In any case, those dead soldiers who have been lurking in the Jisang thief army for a long time, they are personally selected by me Lu Zidao one by one, and they are all people with lofty ideals who are absolutely loyal to the king of Chengdu. When they re-became a member of the Great Jin official army, relying on their strength should be enough to suppress Lu Yao. In addition to that, maybe ...... That's it, that's it, those who can't do it can do their best can have no regrets, who can laugh at it? Your Highness, I, Lu Zhi, have done my best...... Lu Zhi struggled and pondered until he heard someone shouting, "Jisang is dead!" Kill Jisang! ”

He finally fainted.

Beside the city outside the Jianchun Gate, Lu Yao gasped and stood firm.

Lu Yao had an extra footprint on his chest, which was the mark left by Ji Sang's flying leg when he kicked him away. He coughed lightly and felt something salty in his throat. The kick appeared to have broken two ribs and injured a lung.

Kisang's ferocity was more than anyone expected. Lu Yao once fought a fierce battle with a famous enemy like Liu Cong, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, and in the end he was not only defeated and lost, but also robbed of the sword of King Wu of the Lu family. But he had to admit that this Jisang was much more terrifying than Liu Cong.

The people who came to Wei County with Lu Yao this time were all battle-hardened soldiers in the Jinyang Army. Not to mention that there are also fierce generals like Ding Miao who killed from the Central Plains to Hebei without a fight. And under Lu Yao's painstaking arrangement, they even created a siege situation, doing everything possible to kill Ji Sang alone. Even so, the danger of the right talent still makes everyone's heart palpitate.

Standing beside Lu Yao at this moment were Ding Miao and Xue Tong, who were also exhausted. From erecting a white tiger banner at the head of the city to the crowd besieging and killing Jisang, it was only a matter of moments. But in the short time that followed, they all did their best. A little farther away was Shen Jin, whose face was pale, and Ji Sang finally struck a near-death blow, and threw a sword from his hand. The sword slashed through Shen Jin's side, slicing through two layers of armor and taking away a layer of flesh and skin, as long as it deviated a little more inward, it would disembowel him.

And around, there were several seriously injured soldiers who endured the pain and slowly stood up with the support of their companions. The lone war horse was not controlled by its owner, and it snorted impatiently and ran away. It is extremely dangerous for a cavalryman to lose his horse on the battlefield. But no one cares about that at the moment. Kisan is dead. How much fighting spirit will the thieves gathered by his monstrous ferocity have?

"Jisang is dead! Jisang is dead! There was a commotion on the Jianchun Gate. A huge roar spread far away in the open field, and more and more Jin soldiers followed and chanted.

There are clouds in the book of soldiers: the courage of the soldiers. The reason why Kisang's subordinates are so brave and fierce is because of their leader. However, when the news of Jisang's death spread throughout the battlefield, the tide of the thief army's offensive suddenly stalled.

There are clouds in the book of war: the harm of the three armies starts from suspicion. When the whole army is in doubt, it is already doomed to their fate. In the beginning, some cavalrymen who had been chasing the north stopped their horses and looked for the traces of the leader; Then, several large teams voluntarily withdrew from the battle group and began to move closer to each other.

On the battlefield, the weak side is strong, and the offensive and defensive momentum is often transformed in a moment. Once the thief army is depressed, the fighting spirit of the Jin army is like fire. Out of nowhere, the rumbling of war drums was heard. In the sound of drums, thousands of soldiers of the beggar army fought forward with their arms folded!

Xue Tong approached and said, "General......"

Lu Yao took a few steps and kicked the huge head. The skull rolled several feet away, and its face turned upward. The eyes were so hideous, but now they looked ugly and brutal, no more majestic than the other corpses on the plain.

Such a giant who has ravaged Hebei Prefecture and counties for several years, how many officials and troops have been exterminated, how many counties have been captured by him, and even Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, who was powerful all over the Central Plains at his peak, had to show kindness to him. But Lu Yao only relied on the strength of dozens of cavalrymen to mobilize him like a finger, and finally beheaded him.

The people who witnessed this scene with their own eyes, whether they belonged to the Jinyang Army or the soldiers of the Begging Army, were full of awe for Lu Yao.

"Find a pole and hang it." Lu Yao commanded simply.

"Yes!" A soldier rushed from behind him, first breaking Kisang's hair in a bun, then tying it tightly to the top of a spear and holding it high.

"Send someone to contact Li Yun and Yu Ting, and then there is still a battle to fight with Shi Le's department, and ask them to reorganize the army and horses as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The two horsemen came out in response, beating their horses and galloping towards Jian'an Station.

Lu Yao turned over and rode forward dozens of steps.

There, after the tragic infighting, there were about 100 people left of the former Jisang personal guard cavalry, most of whom were wounded. The cavalrymen were on guard against each other, spreading far distances to keep themselves safe, just as the beasts of the mountains and forests were on their own.

Even if they lose their leader, Jisang, these people themselves are strong tigers. But if there is an outbreak, Lu Yao's more than a dozen tired subordinates will not be able to resist it. But Lu Yao was not worried about this at all. From their faces, Lu Yao could only see horror and fear. The sudden turn against each other, without even any warning or reason, has destroyed their trust in each other.

Among these people, there are some who are the dead soldiers of the king of Chengdu mentioned by Lu Zhi. A few years ago, Lu Zhi painstakingly arranged these people into the Jisang army one by one, until they broke out under the white tiger banner just now.

Lu Yao sighed deeply. Lu Zhi is a literati, and the literati only need to strategize and win a thousand miles; All you need is a quick idea. That far-sighted arrangement is indeed far beyond the reach of ordinary people, and Lu Yao asked himself how could he not arrange it so thoroughly. But Lu Yao is not a literati, he is a warrior. What Lu Yao has is a strong fighting spirit, a weapon in his hand, and a fellow brother who unites around him and always fights.

Writing has not been in good shape lately. Maybe it's because I'm busy at work. I'll try to adjust the state as much as possible. To paraphrase a sentence in the book: Those who can't reach it even if they do their best can have no regrets, who can ridicule them?

Thank you to the readers who always support this book.
