"We withdraw, leaving a group of soldiers here to monitor the movements of the defenders in Xiapi City.
Let’s go and capture other towns near Xiapi first.”
Facing the Xiapi City defenders who were holding tight, Taishi Ci and Cui Yan thought hard for several days but still couldn't crack it.
As a last resort, we can only settle for the next best thing.
Aren't you holding on tight? Then I'll take down all the towns around you. I'll see how you hold on when you're left alone.
Seeing the large banner embroidered with the word "Tao" on the city wall fluttering in the wind, Taishi Ci was filled with reluctance.
Damn it! This is the first time that I, Taishi Ziyi, have led an army alone. I never expected that the result would be like this. I must be disappointed when my lord comes back, right?
However, the military strength was insufficient and the enemy was fully prepared. Without the possibility of a surprise attack, Taishi Ci could only accept this reality unwillingly.
Pengcheng in Xuzhou.
Seeing that the banner at the top of the city had been replaced with the Xiangzi flag, Yu Jin felt excited.
Pengcheng! This is Pengcheng! Those bandit leaders who don't know a few characters don't understand. How can he understand it?
This is the capital established by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!
Now that the lord is a descendant of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, it goes without saying that Pengcheng's importance to him is needless to say.
Perhaps, the Lord will change the Xuzhou administrative office and move it to Pengcheng?
I believe that after this battle, my status in the Lord's mind will definitely rise steadily.
Yu Jin was not convinced that his master valued Tai Shi Ci.
When it comes to military training, none of the ten Taishi Cis is as good as Yu Jin.
When it comes to commanding troops, Yu Jin asked himself that he would never lose to anyone even though he had studied military literature since he was a child.
Taishi Ci? Hum, that is to say, he is relatively good at martial arts, but he is just a fierce general.
Lord, sooner or later I will let you know who is the general worthy of your trust!
In the southern part of Xuzhou near Guangling, Zang Ba's Second Route Army was still struggling with the harsh natural environment.
This damn thief, can't you just have a sunny day?
Zang Ba was also helpless about his bad luck.
This is my debut battle.
As a result, half of the enemy has not been seen, and the army has lost 30% of its non-combat troops just because of the damn weather. Who can bear this?
Although most of the soldiers were only infected with typhoid fever due to being exposed to rain, they would become more vigorous as long as they cultivated for a period of time.
But now that we are at war, how can we have time for you to cultivate?
For those soldiers who were infected with the cold, Zang Ba had no choice but to place them in Langxie County.
Yes, although Zang Ba's march was not smooth due to weather conditions, Langye County was still captured by Zang Ba.
After all, there are only 1,800 defenders in the county, so it really doesn't take too much effort to capture such a small town.
Unlike the march into Xuzhou, which was not too smooth, Xiang Ji is now very proud.
Seeing Li Su again with a lewd smile on his face, Xiang Ji knew that what he had deceived from Dong Zhuo was about to come true.
It's easy to say what beautiful women are. After all, Xiang Ji's vision has gradually become higher since he had He Lian.
What most people call beauty is just that in Xiang Ji's eyes, but those gold and silver treasures are of great use to Xiang Ji.
When marching and fighting, there is no need for money?
Whether it's distributing food and wages to soldiers, looking for merchants to buy horses, or giving rewards to subordinates, doesn't it all cost money?
It was easy to say before, after all, everyone is a copycat among copycats, and many things can be temporarily overcome.
But now Xiang Ji has ordered Taishi Ci to go out with all his troops to attack Xuzhou.
Then, after Xuzhou was captured, Xiang Ji, who owned a state, was no longer the bandit leader.
As he is about to become a prince, he must consider his subordinates.
"General Xiang, these are the gold jewels given to you by the Prime Minister."
Looking at the box Li Su carried out from behind, Xiang Ji became very interested in this item.
Talent.
Before, it was easy to explain when you sneaked in and contacted me by yourself, but now you have this big box with you.
At the same time, Xiang Ji also saw two people behind Li Su who were covered with raincoats. They must be the beauties he brought.
But didn’t we promise that there would be only one beauty before? Why now there are two? Is there a buy one get one free offer?
Although he was puzzled that Li Su could carry such a big box and two big men freely through the coalition positions, Xiang Ji had no time to worry about that now.
The gold and jewelry are all ready-made and cannot be escaped, but I am full of curiosity about the two beauties covering their faces.
The ones sent by Dong Zhuo should be of good quality, right?
Li Su, who was very discerning, saw Xiang Ji focusing on the beautiful woman behind him, he laughed evilly and apologized before leaving.
When they saw Li Su leaving, the two women covered by the coir raincoats took off their coir raincoats one after another without Xiang Ji's instructions.
"My concubines Liu Xiu and Diao Chan, please pay your respects to General Xiang. May the general be blessed."
Xiang Ji, who was initially indifferent, was shocked when he heard the names of the two girls.
That Liu Xiu doesn't matter, I've never heard of him.
But what is the name of the relatively small beauty at the back? Diao Chan?
Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was really generous.
If you don't have a BMW for me to ride, just send me a "famous horse" for me to ride.
"Come closer and raise your face."
Well, I want to see how beautiful this four beauties passed down through the ages really are.
The first thing that caught Xiang Ji's eyes was Liu Xiu, who was relatively tall.
Xiang Ji, who was originally focused on Diao Chan, suddenly brightened up when Liu Xiu came closer.
What a charming beauty, every smile, every movement, every look in her eyes is full of endless temptation for men.
No wonder it can be presented to me alongside Diao Chan, who is known as one of the four beauties. It is indeed the best.
With just one look, Xiang Ji knew that the Liu Xiu in front of him was a top-notch beauty who would not be inferior to He Lian.
Seeing that Xiang Ji was interested in her, Liu Xiu covered her mouth and smiled softly, making way for Diao Chan behind her.
You know, she was also frightened when she saw Diao Chan.
How could such a flawless person be born in this world?
Before Liu Xiu saw her, she thought she was a rare beauty in the world, but after seeing Diao Chan's true appearance, she finally understood what it means to conquer a country and conquer a city, sinking fish and falling geese.
The pretty face without any flaws paired with the graceful and petite figure makes her look like an elf falling from the sky to the earth.
To say there is no pressure would be a lie.
Liu Xiu knew in her heart that now that the Han Dynasty was in turmoil and the emperor could not protect himself, how could he talk about her as a princess?
I thought Dong Zhuo was someone I could rely on, so even though he had the face of a demon and the body of a wild bear, Liu Xiu could only endure and flatter him.
But I never thought that Dong Zhuo never cared about her at all. After using it, he changed hands and gave it away.
Liu Xiu, who had accepted her fate, could only hope that the new owner would not abandon her like a worn-out shoe.
It can be seen that she was nervous and scared after seeing Diao Chan, just because Diao Chan was too perfect.
Fortunately, she discovered in Xiang Ji's eyes a kind of reaction of a man when he sees the person he is attracted to. That kind of reaction is called desire.
