Another general also echoed: "Once the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty come back, the city is built on flat ground, the walls are low, and there is no danger to defend it. What can three thousand of them do by then, giving away people's heads? This is a loss-making business.
As long as Pei Zilie isn't stupid, he won't do it."
Fan Yi gently rubbed his chin. Pei Zilie was able to create such a big problem in the police before, and he almost had no way to end it. He had to send troops to support Xiao Mohe. Then he got some shitty luck and unexpectedly
Killing across the river easily under the eyes of the people of Xiliang is definitely not a simple thing.
And according to Fan Chang's incompetent words, Pei Zilie was accompanied by Xiao Mohe's eldest son and chief staff, who were not easy to provoke. Fan Yi did not believe that the three of them would make such an idiotic decision to attack Zhangchuan County.
Suddenly remembering something, Fan Yi turned his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "There should be more than just a wilderness between Jiangling City and Zhangchuan County."
"What the governor means is..." The battle leader was startled for a moment, then he immediately realized, "Not far to the northwest from Jiangling City is the old city of Jinan!"
Suddenly, all the generals around showed surprise. Only Fan Yi's expression changed. One of the generals asked curiously: "Prefect, we have heard of Ji Nancheng, but isn't it already abandoned? It's an abandoned city."
What's there to be concerned about? I haven't heard of why Xi Liang has made more repairs to this city. They are all the city walls from the pre-Qin period. I don't know if they are still there after hundreds of years!"
Fan Yi took a deep breath and did not answer the question, but lightly tapped his palms: "Jinan...Jinan..."
At this time, standing next to Fan Yi, an elderly general frowned and said: "You are all young and have not participated in the battle nine years ago. Of course you don't know about Ji Nancheng.
After a pause, the veteran looked at the curious eyes around him, and seemed to be immersed in the long memories: "Although it was abandoned in the pre-Qin period, this city was built according to the standards of the capital of Chu State when it was built.
, the city wall is tall and the rammed earth is strong. Although it has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, it still has the basic outline of the city, not to mention..."
"Okay!" Fan Yi interrupted the veteran, and the Jingzhou governor's face became more solemn, "The top priority is not to care about Pei Zilie, but to think about how to capture Jiangling first!
"
All the generals hurriedly shut their mouths and responded in unison.
Fan Yi turned his head and looked at Jiangling City, which was getting closer and closer, and said coldly: "After all, what your Majesty wants is not people, but this city. In the end, Pei Zilie can only take a big sip of soup. What really matters is what is in front of him."
This piece of fat, it’s just that the fat looks delicious, but there are bones attached underneath..."
His voice became lower and lower, until only he could hear it: "If you are not careful, you may not be able to eat the meat, and you may even knock off your front teeth."
——————————————
The wind rustled, blowing the vast grass in the wilderness.
With the sound of horse hooves, several Xiliang cavalry galloped across the wasteland, their eyes vigilantly scanning the waist-high grass around them.
"Boss, you said there doesn't seem to be anyone around here. As I say, let's just go back to the city and rest." A young soldier complained.
And another soldier nodded again and again: "Yes, boss, this is a place where birds can't shit. Fortunately, your majesty can imagine it. No matter how smart those southern barbarians are, they will not find this place. There is no road."
, if we don’t have a guide, we might get lost! So let’s go back to the city and maybe get a sip of hot soup.”
The general who led the team glared at the two of them impatiently and looked around cautiously. However, as the two soldiers said, except for the grass that has been growing crazily for who knows how many years, there is really nothing here.
No.
The general immediately raised his riding whip: "Let's go back to the city, otherwise the hot rice will be taken away by those grandsons, and we won't even be able to eat a grain of rice!"
But before he could turn the horse's head, the soldiers around him screamed. The general was startled and quickly reined in his horse. However, as soon as his sword was unsheathed, a cold air came through.
The skin on the legs came over.
Zhuang Jiang slowly lowered his head and looked down. Three or four spears were pressed against his different positions, including his weak ribs, waist, and thighs. If Zhuang Jiang made another move, he would be directly poked with blood by these spears.
hole.
And his subordinates had already fallen to the ground in various shapes, and they were all dead.
Although General Zhuang is not an old pawn, looking at this posture, he knew that he met an old scout today. Such capable killing methods are not something that a fledgling boy can have. What's more important is that they can actually ambush in
He was not even noticed by himself under his nose.
None of these black and white people are easy to mess with.
His hand trembled slightly from the handle of the knife to the button on his waist. General Zhuang gritted his teeth, took off the sword and threw it to the ground. Then he slowly turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and looked around in panic.
"Commander, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my duty and caught him alive." Chen Zhishen raised his hand to Li Xingchen, who was walking from a distance.
Li Xingchen knelt down and took a look at the general of Xiliang, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you tell so-and-so what you want to know, so-and-so will definitely not take your life."
General Zhuang looked at the people in front of him in panic: "You are... Daoyi..."
"Shit!" Chen Zhishen kicked him on the back.
The general came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Ah, no, no, no, it's the warriors of Da Chen. The younger one said the wrong thing. The younger one deserves death!"
"Tell So-and-so if there is anyone in Ji'nan City, how many people there are, and who they are, so you don't have to die." Li Xingchen chuckled lightly, stood up and clapped his hands, "Otherwise, So-and-so wouldn't let you die, but then
It’s just that life would be worse than death.”
General Zhuang's expression changed slightly: "This..."
"What?" The knife in Chen Zhishen's hand was directly placed on his neck.
General Zhuang shuddered. It was the first time he was so close to death. He completely lost his courage. He hurriedly turned slightly to avoid the blade: "There are about a thousand brothers in this city... We are all the beams."
,Bah, the Western Liang Guards were ordered to protect..."
He seemed to realize that he shouldn't say these words, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen said calmly: "It seems that he doesn't want to talk anymore and is preparing to be tortured."
"No, no!" Zhuang Jiang waved his hands hurriedly, "We are here to protect His Majesty and the royal family and retreat northward, and come to Ji Nancheng to watch the battle in Jiangling!"
Suddenly, the faces of Chen Zhishen and others around him showed joy, and they hurriedly looked up at Li Xingchen.
