The three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Zheng allied forces besieged Jin from three sides.
Wei Guo and Zheng Guo surrounded Wulu to intimidate Chao Ge, but Zhao Yang had no choice but to let Han and Wei divide their forces to resist temporarily.
As for himself, he ordered Yang Hu to lead the army first, trying to resist the Qi army led by Tian Qi.
However, just because the Jin State had just experienced internal strife, it could be said that its fatigue was already showing. Therefore, Yang Hu could not win. After only a few battles, Zhao's army gradually became unable to support it.
Zhao Yang knew that the situation was critical, so he hurriedly came to find Li Ran and said anxiously:
"Sir, now that the three countries are all fighting against our Jin country, it's really hard to handle! I don't know what to do?!"
Everyone in Jiangcheng was panicked when they heard that Qi soldiers were approaching.
As soon as Li Ran entered the Zhao family's residence, when Zhao Yang asked him so urgently, Li Ran just handed him over and replied:
"General, please rest assured. Now you can just wait for news from Lu and Wu!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he lowered his head and sighed:
"Hey... It stands to reason that they should have received the message a long time ago, but now that they have been delayed in responding, they probably won't come..."
Li Ran said confidently:
"Absolutely not! They will definitely come for reinforcements, so there is no need to panic, general! The King of Wu has wanted to dominate the Central Plains for a long time, and he also benefited from the Jin State in the past. Moreover, Qi and Wu are now neighboring countries. For the King of Wu, it is natural that he must
Those who make friends from far away and attack those close to home, so as long as Sun Changqing can break up this relationship, he is not afraid that the Wu people will not come!"
"As for the State of Lu, the same is true. The State of Lu has been suffering for a long time. Now that a general is here to raise his arms, how can the State of Lu not obey? What's more, there is still Kong Zhongni in the State of Lu, so he must
There’s no doubt it’s coming!”
"As for the State of Chu... I used to have a good relationship with the current Ye Gong. I have gone to get a secret letter earlier, hoping that Ye Gong can contain the Zheng State in the south for us. This matter is very important to Ye Gong.
It’s just a simple task, and he will definitely accept it.”
"So, although the Zhao family seems to be in danger now, it is actually as safe as a mountain! As long as the general can hold on, they will definitely come to support one after another!"
"I also ask the general not to be discouraged. If the generals are timid, I am afraid that no one in the whole country will be able to fight again. And once the morale collapses, the great achievements of the generals will be wasted!"
Zhao Yang smiled bitterly, nodded again, and said:
"The three kingdoms of Qi, Zheng, and Wei jointly attacked our Zhao family, and the attack was so fierce that it was really difficult to deal with it. But as the teacher said, when the two armies confront each other, the brave will win! Now we can only have a chance of survival if we hold on!
"
After hearing Li Ran's words, Zhao Yang felt relieved.
So, he immediately arranged for Yin Duo to guard Jinyang, Li Ran to take charge of Jiangcheng, and he personally led a hundred thousand troops to march to the east of Shanxi!
…
Zhao Yang personally deployed defenses in Lincheng, and Chaoge was facing the Zheng army, so Zhao Yang sent Yang Hu to guard it, while Kuai Chi and You Wuxie led their respective armies to fight against the guards near Wangwu Mountain.
The country’s army.
Tian Qi led the entire army, and they were confident that they could go to Linyi City and directly ordered the attack!
However, Zhao Yang was not an ordinary person after all, and Tian Qi failed to capture the city for several days.
But Tian Qi was not convinced. On the third day, Tian Qi issued an order, warning the three armies that they must capture Lincheng and Linyi, and whoever ascends first can get all ten hills!
The Qi army also knew that Zhao Yang was in Lincheng. Once they broke into the city and captured Zhao Yang, it would be an unparalleled feat.
Therefore, they all worked in groups of ten, with about eight groups on each city wall, a total of twenty-four groups, and came one after another to climb the wall and attack the city regardless of death.
Zhao Yang is standing on the city tower at this moment. He is also taking the lead, standing at the top of the city, commanding the soldiers to defend the city bravely.
In the blink of an eye, another crash car from the Qi army arrived at the bottom of the city.
This is already Qi Ren's third crash car. Seeing that the first two crash cars are still burning on the roadside, this crash car is already hitting the city gate.
Since the city of Linyi is not large, and the city gate has been broken down several times before, even though some repairs were made, it could not withstand the force of the collision.
The city gate was about to be breached again. At this critical moment, suddenly, another foreign army was seen charging in from the side and attacking the Qi army directly from the abdomen.
As a result, Qi's siege formation was instantly shattered into pieces, and the head and tail could not look at each other.
Zhao Yang saw it clearly from the tower. After observing for a while, he realized that the army of Lu State was on the opposite side! He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Yes, this is the reinforcement he has been waiting for!
Zhao Yang gave a sigh of relief and immediately ordered people to open the city gate. He took the lead and fought together with the Lu army.
The Qi State was attacking the city in full swing. They saw that the city gate was about to be breached, but they did not expect that another army would attack from the side. Moreover, at this moment, the gates of Linyi were wide open again, and countless Zhao troops in the city killed generals again.
came out.
Seeing that the situation on his side had taken a turn for the worse, Tian Qi, who was supervising the battle, couldn't help but turn pale when he saw this. Sima Xianshi, seeing that something was wrong, hurriedly advised Tian Qi to withdraw his troops first, otherwise he would suffer heavy losses.
Tian Qi looked at the place where the armies of Lu and Zhao were converging, and knew that the situation was over and the city would definitely not be able to be taken today.
In desperation, he had no choice but to order a temporary withdrawal of troops to preserve his strength and prepare to fight again in the future.
The man who led the army from the State of Lu was actually none other than Zi Lu, a disciple of Confucius! When Zhao Yang saw Zi Lu, although he didn’t know him, he had also heard of Zi Lu’s reputation for bravery. As soon as the two met, Zhao Yang immediately stepped forward.
Thanks:
"I've heard about Zilu's name for a long time. Fortunately, Zilu helped me today, so I was able to defeat Tian Qi!"
Zilu said with a naive smile:
"You are rushing on the road non-stop, so you don't delay things! Mr. Zhao. You are here to support the Zhao family on the orders of the monarch and the family master. Now that the Qi army has been defeated by us, Linyi is in danger.
Already solved.”
"However, according to your observation, the Qi army has a large number of people this time. Although it suffered a small defeat in this battle, its strength is still there after all. The battle between Qi and Jin is far from over!"
After Zhao Yang heard this, he looked sad again, nodded and sighed:
"What Zilu said is so true! The situation at Chaoge and Wangwushan is still unclear... It's really worrying!..."
Zilu explained to him calmly:
"Master Zhao, there is no need to worry. When I came here, I heard from my master that Ye Gong from Chu State and Sun Changqing from Wu State are both coming here! Since the general has Mr. Ziming's help, why worry about important matters?
!”
Zhao Yang had been working hard to defend the city and was a little unclear about the movements of Wu and Chu. At this moment, he felt relieved after hearing Zilu's words.
Therefore, Zhao Yang also nodded and said:
"In that case, I would like to thank Zilu Jiyan!"
Zhao Yang welcomed Zilu into the city and continued to tighten his guard!
