Eighty Gentlemen's Covenant

.

Just as Xiang Yu led his troops into the city to rescue people, Yu Ziqi led 300 Chu troops to ride horses outside the city, raising dust in the sky with branches tied to the ponytails to intimidate the Jin army in the city.

It seemed that Yu Ziqi was very familiar with the terrain. Even in the dark, he chose a place that was easy to scrape dust. As hundreds of war horses galloped back and forth, the dust soon spread, and it seemed like a layer of fog was rising in the dark.

Yu Ziqi did not join the team, but selected fifty elite soldiers to line up in the distance and ready to fight at any time. After all, there were as many as 40,000 Jin troops in the city, so it was not easy to come and go freely.

A team leader looked at the chaotic smoke and dust and said with admiration: "General Yu, it seems that you are very familiar with the terrain of Yu Country. I am afraid that only more than ten thousand people can raise the dust in the sky!"

Yu Ziqi smiled: "I was born in Yu Kingdom. My hometown Xiangling is fifty miles east of Pinglu. Where can I have my uncles and brothers? My girl Miaoge kept asking me to take her back to her hometown a few days ago!"

The team leader showed envious expression: "I have met Miss Miaoge, she looks so beautiful, she can be called "beautiful and beautiful!"

"Haha... it's not so exaggerating. I haven't found my husband's family yet. I'm almost worried about this guy!" Yu Ziqi showed a honest smile and said modestly.

"Those who block me will die!"

Xiang Yu's thunder-like thunder sounded in the city, and then a loud "bang" sound was made. The gate of Pinglu South opened, and more than a hundred cavalry rushed out of the city gate like a tide, crossed the suspension bridge, and rushed towards the direction where Yu Ziqi was.

Xiang Yu was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, and no one could stop him from the horse's hooves. He quickly rushed open the city gate and then picked up his halberd to break the back. He intercepted the Jin army that was swarming like an ant colony, protecting Baili Xi and his relatives and fighting and leaving.

After chasing out of the city, the Jin army saw dust rising in the south and horse hooves making loud noises. I don’t know how many cavalrymen were ambushing and dared not chase forward without authorization. They hurriedly asked Wei Chou and Zhao Dun whether to allow the team to leave or continue chasing.

Wei Chou arrived suddenly with his injured leg, roaring loudly and scolding: "Are you all the wine bags? The 40,000 walking corpses can't stand one Baili Xi, and was kidnapped by more than 100 riders. It was reported that Wei Chou's face was so beautiful that he could not keep his face in the Great Jin Dynasty."

Wei Chou ordered people to carry their big axe and urge their horses to leave the city: "All the soldiers will follow me out of the city. If you don't catch all these bandits in one go, I, Wei Chou, will never return to the city!"

Zhao Dun was cautious by nature and tried his best to dissuade him: "General Wei, the dust is everywhere outside the city, and there may be ambush. Moreover, if you have a leg injury, you should not go to the battlefield again. These people have just kidnapped Bailixi, so let's not take the risk to chase him."

"I know you are timid and cautious. If you keep the city for me, you will burn Gaoxiang. I will lead my troops to chase you!"

Wei Chou was not willing to listen, so he ordered Zhao Dun to stay and stay in Pinglu, and personally ignited three thousand cavalry in front, 15,000 infantry, and then, from the east, south and west, he left the city gates from the east, south and west, and pursued the south relentlessly, "Don't leave the bandits, leave Baili Xi!"

Xiang Yu and others rode lightly and quickly headed south while Wei Chou ordered his troops. They quickly left Pinglu City and gradually moved farther away.

Wei Chou refused to withdraw his troops and led the cavalry to the front infantry, then bit the tails of Xiang Yu and others and chased them relentlessly, vowing to capture all the net.

The two armies chased each other, and by the early morning, they had already walked forty or fifty miles southward, and were getting closer and closer to the Guoyu coalition forces heading north.

Under the dawn, the Jin army rushed to the wilderness, chasing Xiang Yu and his team reluctantly.

The scout of the Yu army hurriedly reported to Fang Li: "Report to the general, there is a cavalry team of unknown origin in front, and nearly 20,000 Jin troops followed behind. Please make a decision quickly!"

"A team with unknown origin is the one I met in Yaojiazhuang the evening before yesterday?"

Fang Li looked surprised, unable to guess the origin of this team, and had no time to think about it. He hurriedly ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to fight: "Zilong, Wen Yuan, I ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to attack each. Yan Liang, Ji Ling, and I led the central army to take the enemy's formation!"

Soon, the two armies became closer and closer, with only about five miles apart, and they were looking at each other's flags and drums and horns.

Seeing the dust flying in the south, Ji Bu was shocked and complained: "It's broken, it's broken... I've been ambushed by the Jin army. Judging from the scale of the mountains and fields, I'm afraid there are no less than 40,000 to 50,000 people. If you want to break out again, it's a difficult time!"

"It is said that Zhen went north and then the Yu Kingdom was only 40,000 to 50,000 Jin troops. Since they were all stationed in Pinglu City, how could 40,000 to 50,000 troops suddenly appear?"

Xiang Yu rode his horse and rode up a hillside and looked into the distance. He saw that the military flags of Guo and Yu were floating in the wind. The character "Square" was written on the flag of the general, and he was fluttering in the whistling north wind, and he felt relieved immediately.

Xiang Yu rode his horse down the hillside and said to Baili Xi, who was riding alone, "Mr. Baili, the coalition forces of your State of Yu and Guo are coming opposite. Fang Li, the leader general, can you send someone to talk to him."

Baili Xi was overjoyed when she heard this, and smiled and said, "Haha... Fang Li came at the right time. I immediately ordered him to take down Pinglu and rescue all the empresses and colleagues. General Xiang's life-saving grace, I, Baili Xi and the people of Yu Kingdom, will definitely not forget you, and I will be rewarded later!"

Xiang Yu said with a serious face: "Mr. Baili, if we don't say secret words in front of us, Xiang Yu will say something directly. I, you have to come to Pinglu to save people this time. I took a great risk and it is impossible for me to ask for nothing!"

Baili Xi's smile slowly dissipated, and she glanced at Baili Susu beside Xiang Yu: "General Xiang, please say it's okay!"

Xiang Yu nodded: "Although our Chu State has a vast territory, it lacks the talent for governing the country. I heard from my grandfather that Mr. Baili is a talent for governing a great country. Therefore, I agreed with Miss Susu to rescue you from Pinglu and follow us to the south and serve our Chu State for five years."

Baili Xi originally thought that Xiang Yu would make a request to Yu State for extortion of property, but he did not expect that he would invite himself to become an official in Chu State. He could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "General Xiang Yan praised it, General Xiang Yu is so loving! Baili Xi is already in his seventies, and he can only serve as a prime minister in a small country like Yu. At best, he is just a county magistrate. How dare he show off his skills at Chu State?"

"My grandfather never says hypocritical words!"

Xiang Yu's face was a little serious and terrifying, and even showed a hint of murderous aura, "The old man followed me back to Chu State, our Xiang family will strongly recommend it to the lord. If the lord refuses to use you more, let's make other mistakes. I have made an agreement with Miss Susu, and I hope that the lord will not make things difficult for your granddaughter!"

Baili Xi pulled her face down and said in a deep voice: "If I don't follow you, you have heard that the three armies can seize the commander, and every man cannot take his will. Yu State is now fragmented and is in a mess. I need to take charge of the overall situation. How can I follow you south?"

Xiang Yu snorted coldly, drew a circle in his long halberd, and the sky was filled with cold light, and he said firmly: "Miss Susu and I agreed that if the old man did not agree to my request, I... would kill her!"

Baili Susu pulled the horse with the reins, turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Baili Xi's horse, begged: "Grandpa, General Xiang took such a big risk to save you, and he is eager to seek talent, so you can agree to his request."

"Nothing!"

Baili Xi was very angry, "I am the prime minister of Yu. How could I live a life of silence in this way, so I would rather let General Xiang Yu kill me!"

Baili Susu sighed and said, "Grandpa, the Yu Kingdom is now the world of Fang Li, and the prime minister has also been replaced by Gongsun Yan. More importantly, Fang Li is unwilling to save you and your lord at all. He refused to exchange Li Ji for you or your lord's request and sent someone to send Li Ji to Chu. It can be seen that... he is not as loyal to our Yu Kingdom as you imagined!"

Baili Xi said in dismay: "You girl knows what country you cannot have without a king for a day, nor should you not have a prime minister. Since I have been captured by the Jin army, why can you set up a new prime minister? Let Li send Li Ji south to make friends with Chu? It is also to fight against Jin. How can you judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain?"

Baili Susu suddenly drew his sword in his hand, with an expression of indifference: "Since my grandfather wants to make his granddaughter break his trust, I don't need General Xiang to do it, so I will commit suicide and apologize!"
