The twelfth day of the attack on Baidi City.
The top of the city in the middle of the river was covered with scattered traces of scorching, and there were many holes left on the wall. Some soldiers could be vaguely seen repairing the wall with their heads hunched and carrying bricks on their backs.
Zhang Ren hunkered down in Yong'an City, and there was no movement of reinforcements from the direction of Jiangzhou.
Ji Shu was no longer as leisurely as he had been a few days ago. He was pacing back and forth under the shade of a tree, looking a little anxious.
"It has been more than twenty days since we set out from Jiangling. Except for the Yong'an Army, the Shu army just started to move, and now they are like dead men! Shiyuan, I guess Zhang Ren may have been abandoned by Liu Zhang."
Pang Tong turned over a page of the book and said without even looking at Ji Shu.
"It cannot be ruled out that Li Hui and Zhang Ren have a grudge. Someone deliberately caused a stumbling block for Zhang Ren and deliberately delayed the time of reinforcements."
Ji Shu sat next to Pang Tong and looked at him like this.
"But I don't think I can wait any longer."
Pang Tong looked at the book intently and replied.
"You are not slow or hasty when it is time to make a decision. We cannot capture Yong'an City right away. Time is not that tight."
Ji Shu shook his head and said.
"No, the longer the delay, the easier it will be for others to detect our true intentions. Moreover, although there are no problems for the time being through some emergency measures, the supply of grain and grass will always be a burden on the national treasury over time."
"It's time to carry out the attack plan. I want you to lead the army."
Pang Tong couldn't sit still anymore, he quickly sat up and shook his head.
"No, no! Look at my arms and legs. If you ask me to climb mountains and run thousands of miles, I will really die!"
Will he die?
Ji Shu stared at Pang Tong for a long time. Even though this was no longer the original time and space, Ji Shu was still shaken.
"Okay, don't go."
Pang Tong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Ji Shu agreed after just one sentence of rejection. After a while, he felt a little guilty again, because he knew that this attack was particularly important to the Chu State. If this battle failed, it would be difficult for the Chu State to launch another war to destroy Shu in three to five years. During this period, who could know what Qin State would do? Will the army go south again to capture Shu?
Pang Tong gritted his teeth and said.
"If not, I'll go!"
Ji Shu originally wanted to leave, but after hearing this, he turned around and cursed.
"Are you so easy to handle? What's your position? Don't go, just stay here."
damn thing!
Do you know how much I struggled with my thoughts?
Pang Tong looked confused and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hey, you really don't want me to go?"
Seeing that Ji Shu went down the mountain without looking back, Pang Tong threw the book aside and went to bed wanting to have a good sleep. As a result, he felt upset as soon as he closed his eyes, so he got up and chased Ji Shu down the mountain to the big tent.
It was late at night.
After resting for many days, the Yulin Army stationed in the north of Baidi City quietly moved into action, leaving only an empty camp.
Outside the camp, only a few dozen people were watching their actions.
"Zi Yuan, I thought you were going to personally lead the Yu Lin Army to go deep into the area?"
Looking at the army disappearing into the night, Pang Tong licked his dry lips.
Ji Shu did not let Pang Tong go out with the army, which made Pang Tong think that Ji Shu would lead the army himself, but in the end Ji Shu chose Wei Yan.
"Huh? How is it possible? What if I don't sit in the Chinese army camp?"
Ji Shu couldn't move his eyes away as he looked at the direction where the Yulin army disappeared, and just answered matter-of-factly.
Pang Tong tilted his neck and looked at Ji Shu a few times, then nodded.
"You're right."
······
The Yulin Army hid and rested during the day, and rushed on the road at night. Wherever they went, people had already stocked up on food and grass. After several days, they entered a deep mountain.
"Where the hell are we going?"
Huo Yi, who was sweating profusely, finally climbed to the top of the mountain and sat down with the soldiers to rest in the shade of a tree.
He only knew that the Yulin Army had refitted the battleships on the first day, then carried out a wave of stone-throwing attacks and retreated to the north of Baidi City to rest. It was said that he was on guard against Zhang Ren's sneak attack, but there was no sign of him. That night General Wei Yan suddenly gave the order to leave, and he knew that there was a big move. But Huo Yi never expected that they did not attack Baidi City at night, nor did they attack Yongan City by surprise, but instead entered the deep mountains and old forests.
"General, the general has ordered you to come over to discuss matters."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
As soon as Huo Yi took a breath, he received the order from Wei Yan to summon him, presumably to tell the truth to these middle-level generals. After all, we have entered this deep mountain and old forest, what else should we keep secret?
Huo Yi did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked into the forest. Under the leadership of the messenger, he came to a high ground, a flat grassland, with a tree growing in the middle and a big stone under the tree.
At this time, there was a burly young man sitting on a stone eating wild fruits picked from nowhere. Next to him, a handsome young man stood with his sword in hand.
"Newcomer! Oh~~I see, you are that Huo Yi."
The burly young man threw a wild fruit from his arms, and Huo Yi quickly caught it with quick eyes and hands, only to hear the burly young man continue to speak.
"My name is Han Zong. From now on we are all brothers of the Yulin Army. If you have any questions, please feel free to speak."
Hearing this, Huo Yi's nervous mood suddenly relaxed. These days, he was busy with the handover of military affairs, and he was still familiar with the three thousand troops under his command. He had not yet encountered any major battles and had contact with the leaders of other battalions. He walked over and greeted the two of them.
"Brother Han, you're welcome. I'm Huo Yi. Let's fight together from now on. If there's something I didn't do well, please feel free to speak up."
The handsome young man on the side also quickly clasped his fists in greeting.
"I'm Lu Xun. I've met Brother Huo."
Han Zong laughed loudly.
"Brother Huo is also a sweet-tempered person, and he speaks quite frankly. A few days ago, I heard you playing with Zhang Ren in the army. At that time, I wanted to say, you should set up a trap in the camp. Burn him hard!"
Lu Xun nodded slightly.
"Actually, you can also lie to General Xu Sheng that you have held back 10,000 Shu troops, so that he can rush in and bite Zhang Ren hard. General Xu Sheng is too steady. If he bites you now, he may not be able to hold him back. Until our army arrives to encircle and suppress Zhang Ren!"
Huo Yi took a breath.
These two people are so bold that even General Xu Sheng dares to scheme against them.
Huo Yi said with a drop of cold sweat on his head.
"At that time, I also hurriedly thought that Zhang Ren might have set up an ambush, and hurriedly changed my deployment. Rumors in the army were that 3,000 men were playing tricks on Zhang Ren's 20,000 troops. In fact, I was in danger and did not have time to think so much. Let the two It’s a joke.”
When the two heard this, not only did they not laugh, but they expressed relief.
"Hey, when you and I join the army, which battle is not about life and death? As long as you can survive, if you miss it, beat him hard next time!"
"Although we don't know where this battle will go, the three of us will work together and this battle will definitely make us famous!"
"Okay! I just like you young men who are young and frivolous!"
The three of them turned around and saw Wei Yan walking over with a satisfied smile on his face and said.
"This time, our Yulin Army will capture Chengdu, the capital of Shu."
(PS: The author was resurrected a few months ago, and the title of the book was changed to "The Fictional Three Kingdoms". Now that I am writing at home, I will speed up the update, or it may be delayed for a few days. I will update it every day and try to get a recommendation position. It depends on the situation. Writing while working has been procrastinating for too long, I will try to finish it this year.)
