Fifty-two  Watch on the wall

Ji Zhai turned around three steps and was full of reluctance to Chiyang Pass. He surrounded Gong Zhiqi, Shen Pei and other more than a thousand people and embarked on the road to Wenxi County.

Of course, what really made the new monarch of Yu Kingdom really reluctant to leave was Li Ji, who was a night-long soul that would never be forgotten for life; it was definitely not a remote and dilapidated border.

"Fang Li, Fang Li, you would rather be cheap than give Li Ji to me, and even cheated me of Tianzun Bi and Fengxiao Ma. This account will be settled with you sooner or later!"

Ji Zhai looked at Fang Li, who was waving goodbye on the city wall with heartache, and swearing in his heart, "You traitor, you bully your lord so much, sooner or later, I will have to pay you a price!"

Shen Pei next to him urged: "Lord, the road behind snow is slippery, so don't delay the trip!"

Ji Zhai could only withdraw his resentful eyes, whip his horse, and lead his troops to the south to Wenxi County.

Fang Li believed that because of Li Ji's arrest, Jin Xian Gongji would be furious and would definitely order Xian Zhen to temporarily delay the attack on Guo State, and instead point the finger at the western part of Yu State.

Moreover, there are 200,000 troops in Jin State on standby at any time. It is not impossible for Gui Zhu, who was furious, to draw another team to attack Chiyang Pass. Therefore, in addition to the fact that Lou Village must be strictly guarded, Chiyang cannot be taken lightly.

Although the level of danger in Louzhai is not as good as Chi Yang, Zhou Yu led Zhang Liao and Zhurong to take charge, and the troops were expanded to 10,000, Fang Li believed that the remaining power of the victory should be able to stop the Jin army for a while.

Although Chiyang Pass only has 5,000 troops, its victory is due to its steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fang Li led the two generals Yan Liang and Qu Yi to take charge. In addition, it increased and reinforced some time ago, so the Jin army could not take it down for a while.

But the strength of Jin State is far superior to that of Yu State, and the two are not the same magnitude at all. Even with Zhou Yu, the top commander of the Three Kingdoms, in charge, it is hard to be a clever woman. Without foreign aid, it is not enough to reverse the disadvantage.

So Fang Li was waiting for news from Gongsun Yan. I wonder if he went north to Zhao State for help, and whether Zhao State Duke Zhao Yong agreed to send troops to attack Jin?

On the other hand, he sent an envoy to Guo State to rescue Duke Shubi, telling him the reason why he lost his lips and teeth were cold. If the State of Yu was destroyed, the State of Guo would have a few days to live, and at least a year or half a year, he would definitely follow in the footsteps of Yu State.

At the same time, Yan Ti was sent to lead 300 people to escort Li Ji south, send him to Xiong Lu, and write a letter. In the future, Yu State was willing to become an ally with Chu State, but only Duke Chu was ordered to obey.

Although Yan Ti was mediocre, his loyalty to Yu State was trustworthy, so Fang Li was relieved to hand over the task of escorting Li Ji to Yan Ti, and sent an envoy to Chu State to deliver a letter in advance, asking Chu Gong Xiong Mu to send someone to help.

After all, from Yu State to Chu State, they had to travel through the vassal states such as Guo, Shen, Han, and Xu along the way. The power of Yan Ti alone could not protect Li Ji's completeness. Once Xiong Mu sent an edict to various countries and told these vassal states that Li Ji was their prey, then these small countries would not dare to have Li Ji's idea.

With Fang Li's deployment, the panicked Yu State temporarily settled down.

The people who lost the capital learned that the new lord ascended the throne in the West. Although the Jin army set up checkpoints along the way, many people loyal to the Yu Kingdom still crossed mountains and ridges, and tried every means to rush to Wenxi, Louzhai, Chiyang and other places to join.

However, in just a few days, 70,000 to 80,000 people gathered everywhere. Many people, with national hatred and family hatred, signed up to join the army. From the old men of sixty to the young men of ten years old, they all rushed to the forefront, vowing to let Jin fall into the ocean of people's war.

Fang Li and Zhou Yu carefully selected five thousand people as reserves, two thousand of whom stayed to help Zhou Yu guard the building, and another three thousand were sent to Chi Yang to help, guard against the battle day and night, and were on guard.

"Who is Zhou Yu this? He actually killed our army so defeated?"

The general Xian Zhen of Jin State was shocked after receiving the bad news. Unexpectedly, the second general of Hu Shegu and Zhao Dun were defeated in such a miserable defeat. Not only did he lose 20,000 troops, he even took the life of Hu Shegu, and he was both angry and shocked.

"Who is Zhou Yu like this Fang Li? He is much better than Bailishi!"

In a rage, Xian Zhen ordered his son Pioneer and Xiandao to lead 50,000 troops to help Zhao Dun. He must take down the village, wipe out the western part of Yu State, avenge Zhao Dun, and wash away the shame of Wangwushan's miserable defeat.

Pioneer, the two brothers' troops had not yet set off, and bad news came again. Prince Chong'er was attacked by Fang Li in Linquan County on his way back to Quwo. The prince was seriously injured. Jin Duke's favorite concubine Li Ji was captured by the people of Yu and the people of Chiyang Pass.

"Ah...this is worth it?"

Xian Zhen was hit by lightning, and Li Ji was shocked by the arrest, which was much greater than the news of Zhao Dun's death. Although this was not caused by himself, as the general of the attack on Yu, he was of course responsible for his responsibility.

While shocked, Xian Zhen was puzzled: "The prince was cautious in his work and thought carefully. Why did he missed the news and was attacked by Fang Li? This is really hard to understand!"

Xian Zhen could not understand it, but he knew that his lord loved Li Ji deeply, and would be furious after receiving the news. He immediately ordered Wei Chou to lead 50,000 troops to march westward, joining forces with Pioneer, Zhao Dun and others to attack Louzhai and recapture Li Ji.

Xian Zhen himself stayed to take charge of Pinglu, sent several small troops to the east to fight, and wiped out more than a dozen small counties in the eastern part of Yu State.

Wei Chou and the Pioneer, Zhao Dun led 130,000 troops to run to the gate of Louzhai, and were stubbornly resisted by Zhou Yu and Zhang Liao. After two days of attack, they failed to succeed. Instead, they filled more than two thousand lives under the gate.

It happened that it was snowing in October and the city walls were slippery, which was not conducive to siege. Wei Chou had to order the attack to temporarily stop, set up camp at Louzhai Pass, and wait until the snow melted before attacking the city.

When the weather gave Yu State a breath, the envoy brought Fang Li's letter of help, and arrived at Xingyang, the capital of Guo State on the evening of the next day. He paid homage to Shubi, Duke of Guo State, and presented the letter of help from Fang Li, the general of Yu State.

After reading it, Shubi laughed loudly and stepped on the letter: "Haha... I heard that Ji Chan was captured by the Jin army. It was really retribution! How helpful did our Guo State have helped Yu State over the years? Is it too much to let him respect us as the superior country?"

Sun Zhong, the prime minister of Guo State, agreed, "What the lord said is very true. I heard from the scout that Xun Xi went to Pinglu to pay homage to Ji Chan and asked the two countries to jointly attack Guo. Ji Chan actually agreed to Jin's request. It was pure retribution for such an end!"

Shubi waved his sleeves and ordered the envoy of Yu State to be driven out of the city: "What is this place Li? He is worthy of me to compile a book? It is a fool to not let Ji Zhai, a lustful person, come to Xingyang to carry the jingjing to apologize, and just want our Guo State to send troops. It is simply a dream!"

With Shubi's order, the guards of Guo State took turns to drive the envoys of Yu State out of Xingyang, and continued to watch the wall with gloating.
