In addition, we will open two upper rooms for us, as well as our horses, and you must take good care of them."
Entering Taishan County and finding an inn, Xiang Ji could finally have a good rest.
After days of driving, we were extremely exhausted.
Otherwise, Xiang Ji would really rather not stay here and rush back to the village.
However, it will only last for one day at most. I think I will be able to go home by this time tomorrow.
But just when Xiang Ji was lost in thought in the direction of the mountain village, a crying voice suddenly came.
"General~~"
Looking at the two beauties with tearful eyes in front of him, Xiang Ji was stunned.
What is Li Su doing? Shouldn't they have arrived at the village? Why are Liu Xiu and Diao Chan here?
Taking the two girls into his arms, Xiang Ji quickly asked about the doubts in his heart.
"Bold Li Su! If you die like this, you are really being advantaged!"
After listening to the two women's narration, Xiang Ji became furious.
How dare you care about your own woman? If Diao Chan hadn't already killed him, Xiang Ji would have wanted to beat him to death.
After venting his anger, Xiang Ji introduced the two girls to Zhao Yun, who was standing by and was embarrassed.
"Come, you all meet, this is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong."
After hearing Xiang Ji's introduction, Zhao Yun stood up quickly without waiting for the two girls to get up.
"Yun has met the two mistresses."
The two girls who were about to stand up to greet them were stunned.
This, this is the courtesy that a minister should do to his monarch?
Why is this happening? Could it be?
Looking at the two girls who looked surprised, Xiang Ji laughed boldly.
"Hahaha, beauties, do you really think that your man is just a thug who takes orders from others?"
He hugged the two girls with his hands, and Xiang Ji led them directly towards the room.
What else to eat? Looking at the beauty, Xiang Ji, who had been holding back for several days, decided to eat people first.
Ignoring the embarrassed Zhao Yun, Xiang Ji returned to the room amidst the coquettish scoldings of the two girls.
Xiang Ji and his party rested for a day in Taishan County. After recovering, they set off again and headed towards Jiuli Mountain, Xiang Ji's village.
Seeing Xiang Ji leading the horse in front and letting his two sisters sit on the white dragon, Diao Chan and Liu Xiu's hearts were filled with sweetness.
This is their man, who they will rely on in the future.
Although women don't know much about fighting, they also know the concept of being number one in the world.
And my man is recognized by the world as the most powerful man in the world.
This kind of sense of security is something that the Diao Chan sisters have never had before.
"Look, this is my cottage, let's rest here temporarily.
After I ask about the situation, we can move directly to Xuzhou."
Arriving at the village, Xiang Ji became even more excited.
This is my place of Longxing.
But after entering the village, Xiang Ji's excitement gradually disappeared.
Seeing that the village was not as empty as he imagined, but instead filled with wounded soldiers, Xiang Ji's eyes suddenly turned blood red.
Damn it, what’s going on? Has Xuzhou changed?
"The last general Pei Yuanshao meets the lord!"
While Xiang Ji was still wondering, Pei Yuanshao, who was staying at the village, heard the news and came over.
Seeing Pei Yuanshao, Xiang Ji quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Excuse me, what is going on in this village?
What has happened recently? Has there been a change in Xuzhou? Where is Taishi Ci? How are they?"
Pei Yuanshao began to sweat on his forehead when Xiang Ji asked him continuous questions.
How should I answer this? Should I tell my lord that the battle at Xuzhou did not go well? But this is a fact. The wounded soldiers are all here. This really worries me to death.
But unfortunately, Xiang Ji's question must be answered.
"Reporting to my lord, these wounded soldiers are all retired from the front line.
As for the Battle of Xuzhou...
Pengcheng has been captured by General Yu Jin, and all the towns and villages along the way have surrendered one by one.
Over in Guangling, General Zangba is leading his troops to fight against Guangling's guard, Zuo Rong. The outcome is unknown at the moment.
As for Xiapi...
General Taishi Ci has been defeated three times in a row. The 20,000 troops at the time of the expedition may now have less than 10,000 fighting men. News was received a few days ago that the troops led by General Taishi Ci have been besieged in Xiaopei City by the Xuzhou Army.
The general has already led his troops to rush for reinforcements."
After hearing Pei Yuanshao's report, Xiang Ji felt dizzy.
How could it be? Taishi Ci was defeated? So simply? So completely?
Hasn't Tao Qian already led the main force to Hulao Pass? Why is Xiapi City still so difficult to attack?
Who can defeat Taishi Ci three times in a row?
You must know that although Taishi Ci had never led an army before, he had been familiar with military books since he was a child, and later generations evaluated Taishi Ci as not an ordinary warrior, but a handsome man.
But why? Was it defeated so completely? So simply? Is it possible that there are still experts in Xia Pi Chengzhong?
No matter how much you think about it, it's not as good as knowing the real situation.
Xiang Ji quickly asked Pei Yuanshao for details. At the very least, he wanted to find out why Taishi Ci was defeated, right?
It turned out that although Tao Qian took most of Xuzhou's army to join the alliance to challenge Dong, he left Xuzhou's most elite Danyang army behind.
Among the 30,000 defenders guarding Xiapi City, there were exactly 20,000 Danyang troops.
You must know that at that time, the Danyang Army was famous all over the world. It was a powerful army in the world that could be compared with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong.
With equipment, morale, and training all inferior to those of his opponent, it would be difficult for Taishi Ci to remain undefeated.
What's more, there are real resourceful people in Xiapi City, who are definitely not comparable to a dabbler like Cui Yan.
Cui Yan was simply better at martial arts among civil servants and better at strategy among military attachés.
The resourceful people in Xiapi City were very famous during the Three Kingdoms era.
That is Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son.
When Taishi Ci was preparing to break up the whole army into pieces to seize the cities around Xiapi, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son had already prepared a great gift for him.
At the beginning, Taishi Ci's march went smoothly and he captured several towns one after another. However, when he arrived at Xiaopei, he was ambushed.
Because of the previous success, Taishi Ci, who had not taken much precautions, did not know that the Danyang Army guarding Xiapi City had actually already evaded the surveillance troops and horses left by Taishi Ci, and secretly came to the Xiaopei area to attack them.
ambush.
When Taishi Ci's army was attacking the city, it was defeated by the Danyang army that suddenly appeared from behind.
If it weren't for Taishi Ci's bravery to seize the city gate and then guard the city gate alone to ensure that the main force enters the city, I'm afraid Taishi Ci would no longer have any troops.
Although Xiaopei was captured, he was trapped in an isolated city due to lack of food and grass. Taishi Ci had no choice but to organize two major defeats in which he was killed in two breakouts, which led to the intense war.
