The next day, the army opened again and marched towards Linzi.

talent

Zhang Er and his party, who escaped from Boyang, received an unprecedented blow when Shanshan learned that Zhao Xie, an ally who was going to retreat, had suddenly rebelled.

In the previous battle against the sharp-edged Chu army's main force, Zhang Er, who lacked courage and ingenuity, was the invincible opponent of King Xiang who had fought for many years.

The two armies are equal in size, but for months

After the battle, the Chu army only injured his hair, and he was severely injured when 20,000 to 30,000 people were pulled in.

—200,000 troops were temporarily recruited by Zhao Di, and the dead were actually

It has reached 100,000 people.

Among the remaining 100,000 people, 40,000 were recalcitrant and captured, and only 60,000 survivors escaped from Boyang in the middle of the night with him.

Zi, it's time to breathe.

Zhang Er has lived for most of his life. After countless storms and waves, although he knows the situation is unfavorable, he still thinks that there is still Zhao soil behind him, and there are generations.

Yan Erguo is an alliance, and always feels that there is still a way to survive.

So when the morale of the generals was low, he could force a smile to boost morale.

But allies turned against

As soon as the military report came, he actually lost his spirits, and he was even more uneasy than his servants.

Although there are still 200,000 Qi soldiers under his command, what Zhang Er knows is that the Qi people

To him, an outsider who took advantage of the situation and claimed to be the king of the land, has always been convinced.

His detention regime was untenable for a while, so he hurriedly established a surnamed Tian as King of Qi

, I want to repeat the old technique of supporting Zhao Xie in order to regain Zhao's people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, he was violently levied and repressed, constantly forcing the people to follow him in resisting the mighty Chu soldiers, resulting in heavy casualties.

, The soaring food prices and the many evil deeds of the people living in poverty have long ago attracted deep resentment from the people of Qi.

He himself is living in dire straits, facing the false king who is obviously his puppet, and

Would you be willing to buy it!

Tian Rong and others, who were quite famous in Qi at the time, were also hated by the people when they did this, and they ended up asking Qi people to cut off their heads in their sleep. Why

Is it just an outsider like Zhang Er

The same foreign army, the Chu army who did not commit crimes in the autumn, cared for orphans, and released prisoners, was much more generous than them!

Not long after, there was such a stark contrast that Qi Min was even more reluctant to submit to Zhang Er.

Seeing that Zhang Er's army fell into a disadvantage, Qidicheng County, which had already seen the wind and turned the rudder, took the initiative to deviate from it.

, opened the door to the Chu army, and looked down at the wind.

He learned that except for the several old capitals he sent heavy troops to garrison, most of the cities and counties in Qidi surrendered without a fight, and even turned their heads to join in.

When Chu Jun wanted to drive them out of Qi, Zhang Er was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

In the face of Qi Min, who was full of complaints, he really couldn't express his bitterness.

who knows no mercy

Can the surname win the hearts of the people

He clearly has this heart, but he has no such power!

The mighty army of Chu State is coming. If he doesn't rely on levy, he can't support these 400,000 soldiers at all.

You can take care of Qi Min, who will be useless for a while!

How could it be that the Chu State had the most fertile land in the east and the west, and was able to obtain the wealth of the former Qin treasury.

, wantonly dispersing wealth, there is no need to map this mere number.

Although he knew that the situation was unfavorable, Zhang Er was reluctant to sit still.

After half a day of desolation, he quickly sobered up

After coming here, he decided to use Linzi as a fortress, and before the Chu army arrived, the whole army made every effort to build a fortress to prepare for the future.

At the same time, he ordered people to fortify the walls and clear the fields, so that the Chu army could

There is no food supplement in this area.

He personally inspected the granary in the city and listened to reports from his subordinates. He said that with these grains, the people in the city could eat for half a year.

, I can't help but feel at ease.

If he could last for half a year, he would surely endure until the Chu army, who was facing off outside the city, was exhausted and forced to retreat.

Just take it easy, he

There's still a chance for a comeback.

Thinking of this, Zhang Er couldn't help gnashing his teeth, hating Zhao Xie who was short-sighted and timid!

Knowing this, he shouldn't have

Together with Chen Yu, he supported him in the upper position, and in the end, he bit him back at the worst moment!

The army led by Xiang Yu was approaching the city for several days at night, and they saw outside the city of Linzi.

The barrier was difficult to overcome for a while, so the idea of a quick solution was changed.

Along the way, he has quietly changed the habit of using force to break through everything and fighting to stop wars.

If you can lose less generals and soldiers, you will lose less generals and soldiers.

Seeing that Zhang Er was prepared, he ordered the army to surround the city, and each gate was guarded by several layers of tribes.

Fang has another chance to escape.

Unlike the Chu army, who had won great victories all the way and had high morale, Zhang Erjun had been uneasy because of the tragic losing streak, and he saw his side in the city deep in trouble.

Surrounded by pain.

Zhang Er was also nervous, and it was difficult to sleep at night. Several blisters soon formed on his mouth. Every time he pierced it, it made him feel a pain in his heart.

most

What made Zhang Er uneasy was that the Chu army led by the famously violent and impatient Xiang Yu was not only skilled in quick field battles, but also surprisingly patient.

Since this city

After being surrounded by many, Xiang Yu seemed to have changed his personality. He never launched a storm, he just stood there quietly, keeping his composure.

August Weiyang,

Dressing in September.

In the blink of an eye, two full months have passed.

Zhang Er was really puzzled.

How could Chu Jun remain motionless and patient so well

situation

Contrary to what he imagined, what Zhang Er, who is getting more and more anxious, does not know is that Zhao Di, who he thought was safe and sound, was actually in these two places where he was besieged in Linzi City.

In the middle of the month, he fell into the hands of Han Xin.

It took less than half a year from the day Lingbi was opened, but it has easily regained most of the land, and it was only three times when it was damaged.

Ten thousand people, Wei and Zhao also let Han Xin's army swept and captured...

Without knowing it, Linzi has become an isolated city.

Faced with mediocre abilities, foolishly trapped in a lonely city, even

An opponent who didn't know that he would run out of troops and food sooner or later, Xiang Yu knew that he just had to wait quietly, and he would soon reap the results.

Of course there is no need to rush.

just in September

At the end of the month, the food and grass gradually bottomed out, and when Zhang Er couldn’t sit still, Lu Bu led his 2,000 cavalry soldiers and suddenly came to the Chu army station outside the city of Linzi.

time lapse

A few months later, when they suddenly saw General Lu, everyone in the Chu camp was startled, but they did not hesitate to give way.

Before Lu Bu could say a word, he saw the dark crowd in front of him.

A piece of Chu soldiers "snapped", divided into two sides, and automatically and consciously gave up a spacious passage.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction.

—Should let the winkless Zhou Lan come to learn.

The jade lion, like a knight on its back, came to the main tent with its head held high, then lowered its long neck and let Lu Bu roll over and jump off.

With Wang Ling standing in front, Lu Bu went all the way unobstructed, strode into the tent, and broke into the middle of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's discussion.

As we all know, no notification is required

The only person in the entire army who has the privilege of entering the account is Lu Bu.

Therefore, before the others arrived, the two stopped talking and followed the footsteps in unison.

near Lu Bu

Before and after, he blinked, bowed his hands calmly, and hurriedly went to the old seat and sat down.

According to the number of etiquette, when the minister sees the lord, he should bow his knees and kneel.

However, although Lu Bu was forced by the nagging elder brother to force these rules, he always pretended to be confused and never followed them.

Sitting down hastily.

He is a person who is used to being the master of the situation. Even if he wants to take revenge and hate, he has to be subordinate to the fool for the time being, but how can he be willing to do such a big gift at every turn!

Lu Bu was rude to the king as always, but neither Fan Zeng, who was smiling, nor Xiang Yu, who unconsciously bent the corners of his lips, did not feel anything wrong.

His eyes could finally catch the familiar bright pheasant tail feather in the usual place, watching it sway with the master's air, the curvature of the corners of Xiang Yu's lips, also

more and more obvious.

Lu Bu had no idea that this foolish king was staring at the two feathers on top of his head without saying a word, so Fan Zeng praised him inexplicably: "Feng Xian ran around and worked hard.

It's hard, why don't you go back to your account and rest, and then meet the king? "

What does he labor for

Lu Bu's eyes flashed blankly, but he couldn't ask straight questions.

his eyeball

Turning around, he simply humbly said: "The money of the king, the loyalty of the king, why bother to talk about it!"

As soon as this statement came out, Fan Zeng sighed even more in his heart.

take no credit

, not greedy for fame, and being the first to be truly loyal and brave.

It is human nature to fight for intrigue and for merit.

Even the straight-minded is like a dragon and can't avoid this custom: Occasionally

In order to strive for more merits, he is unwilling to use tactics, and in everything that he is strong, he can defeat them by force.

Feng Xian is not so.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass

Go ahead. It is self-evident that the source of food and grass is the basis for the heart of the expeditionary army, and the importance of ensuring its safety is self-evident.

However, knowing that there are many people, I really want to give up the charge and fight

The opportunity to take military exploits and personally go to perform the thankless job of escorting the tunnel is unique.

If it wasn't for the deputy general Zhou Lan to report, he would still be responsible for the

Lian Ao, who was responsible for transporting food and grass in Guanzhong, or Han Xin, who was entrusted by Fengxian to conquer Zhao in the north, all reported in the military newspaper that Fengxian took the initiative to lead 2,000 light cavalry to guard the corridor during the whole period.

The achievements of annihilating the Peng Yue army are full of praise, and the books are special...

They are afraid that they will not know until now, that it has been continuously sent to the front line, so that the troops have no worries.

The rations of the army are actually full of the merits of Fengxian.

It is precisely because of Feng Xian's foresightedness and foresight that he is determined to be unique. With the Long Yuan sword, Han Xin is able to conquer the north, and he will have a complete victory today.

Lu Bu didn't know anything about the good deeds those bastards were doing behind his back.

This stubble of oil has made this lucky fool a tiring and unfortunate mission.

Seeing that this old man Fan cared about himself, he was stunned for a while, and then he treated the other party casually.

Not to heart.

Xiang Yu's gaze has silently moved down from the eye-catching pheasant's tail feathers, and fell on Ai Jiang's handsome face with a deep outline and vigor, and suddenly opened his mouth.

Said: "Feng Xian suddenly arrived, is there something important?"

"It's nothing important." Lu Bu swept Xiang Yu from head to toe a few times with his eyes to make sure that the overlord was alive and well without missing arms.

After breaking his arm and leg, he said casually: "I heard that the king was unable to hold Zhang Ziejiu at Linzi, and Bu Fang took the liberty to come and see if he could help the king."

he is heading for

After taking a break for half a month in Songcheng, for fear that another night would take advantage of the gap, he simply picked up his weapons and went to patrol along the grain road.

I just don't know where Chen Yu went.

The direct sales disappeared, except for some starving bandits who did not know if they were dead or alive, he had nothing to gain, and only served as a guard for the grain truck.

Every time he felt bored, he would

I can't help thinking that I will leave Chu Ying and return to my body soon, and I can't help but add a little bit to that fool... Tolerance, miraculously endured this boring life

Son, it's been a few months.

Now that the overall situation of the Central Plains has been settled, there is only one isolated city in Linzi where Zhang Er is located, but Xiang Yutuo is forced to talk about a quick decision.

After pulling for so long, he couldn't help but feel a little restless.

This is really not the usual style of that fool.

So uncharacteristically, could it be that the fool has suffered so much

What a terrible injury, not even able to preside over the overall situation, and then other generals who are so steady to take over

Lu Bu thought about it for a few days, and finally couldn't help urging the soldiers to follow suit.

As soon as I started my journey, I hurried to Linzi.

Xiang Yupin expressed concern in his words, his heart warmed, and his expression softened a bit.

He thought about his words a little, and was about to open the

Mouth, but unexpectedly, the quick-thinking Yafu took the lead.

Fan Zeng didn't know that he was quick to speak, but he stole the king's words.

unconsciously bear

The king's eyes were shining, he looked at Lu Bu intently, and after explaining the recent situation of the siege to the intelligent general who was very convinced in his heart, he asked with anticipation: "

Can Feng Xian have a good plan? "

Hearing this, Lu Bu's expression was stern, as if he was lost in thought.
