Chiyang City.
Chiyang City is now surrounded by Feihu Military Camp and Shenniu Military Camp led by Gan Ning and Ji Ling, leaving only Ximen for Li Jue to escape.
Surrounded by three, one is missing, leaving only a way to survive.
Although Li Jue had not read a book, he was not a fool. He naturally expected that there must be an ambush outside Que Yi, so he defended the city decisively and could not get out;
Now besieged in Chiyang City, Li Jue began to regret it; especially after learning that Guo Si was beheaded by Wei Yan, he felt a chill in his lips and teeth. He was besieged here by Zhang Xiu's army, and there were no reinforcements outside to save him. Food and grass cannot last long.
Standing on the top of the city in the dark night, looking at the military camps of Gan Ning and Ji Ling below, I felt melancholy and desolate. I couldn't help but feel pessimistic, feeling that he might not be able to escape this time.
Surrender to Zhang Xiu?
He had never thought about surrendering. If it were Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, he would consider it, but why should he, little Zhang Xiu?
Standing on the top of Chiyang City, looking up at the sky at a 45° position, looking up at the endless, infinite, ruthless starry sky, a sad cold wind came over, scratching his heart and feeling a dull pain. He suddenly missed Guo Si a little bit. .
If Guo Bang is still alive, he will definitely find a way to save him. Although the hatred between the two is very deep, in the land of Guanzhong, as long as there are other invaders, they will defeat Lu Bu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui. Join forces and work together to defeat the enemy.
However, Guo Si has left.
well!
He couldn't help but sigh. The almost August weather actually made him feel a chill. He shook himself up and turned around to get ready to go down to the city.
At this moment, a sharp sound broke through the air, strong and fast. Li Jue's hair stood up in shock, and he hurriedly hunkered down and hid behind the parapet.
The sharp arrow shot out and struck a pillar of the gate with a muffled thud.
Li Jue turned his head and looked around in a cold sweat. Through the moonlight, he saw an arrow stuck on the pillar. The arrow seemed to be tied with something. Seeing this and the thing on the arrow, he felt something hot coming up in his heart. Like a ray of sunlight shining through the dark sky.
He hurriedly took action like lightning and pulled out the arrow that had penetrated into the pillar. He looked towards the direction of the arrow outside the city. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything. He opened the secret message in a hurry and walked hurriedly. Walking towards the mansion, he guessed the content of the letter in his mind. For some reason, he keenly felt that this was not Gan Ning's letter to persuade him to surrender, but foreign aid.
Does he have other foreign aid in Guanzhong?
The answer is now none.
What is the content of this letter? What's your purpose?
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and my pace became faster and faster. When I walked back to the room, I was covered in hot sweat. I raised my sleeves and wiped them casually. I turned on the oil lamp, looked at the secret message in my hand, and swallowed. , his hands trembled from excessive excitement, and he slowly opened the envelope.
After reading the letter, he could breathe freely and breathed in the fragrant air. The previous feeling like hundreds of kilograms of weight pressing on his chest was gone instantly, and he could breathe smoothly and comfortably.
He read the contents of the letter several times, and a comfortable and natural smile appeared on his face: "Hahaha! My dear Zhang Xiu, with the help of such an expert, you will not die soon!"
Then he ordered: "Come here, get my handsome flag!"
…
Outside Chiyang City.
Gan Ning and Ji Ling sat across from each other and drank.
They all joined Zhang Xiu's tent later. Gan Ning had already made a name for himself in Huoshan as one against two, but Ji Ling had not yet made any achievements. Compared to Gan Ning, Ji Ling was more eager. He cut off Li Jue's head and presented it to Zhang Xiu.
So he said: "General Gan, now Li Jue is a turtle in the urn in the city. Sooner or later it will be yours and mine's credit. How about I take the lead in attacking the city tomorrow? Ling guarantees that we will fall in one battle."
Gan Ning said with a smile: "General Ji is anxious, isn't he? Since entering Guanzhong, Wei Yan has relied on the advantage of his cavalry to defeat Guo Si and made great achievements. The general and I have not made any achievements yet, but the lord has ordered the encirclement Three are short of one. Tomorrow you and I will attack the city at the same time, force Li Jue out of the city and then kill him."
Ji Ling nodded: "It's a shame that Li Jue only has one head, otherwise I would be able to share Chi Yang's contribution equally with the general."
The two laughed.
At this moment, there was a shaking feeling on the ground, followed by the rumbling sound of horse hooves; the two of them were startled at the same time and looked at each other.
Someone from outside came to report: "General, Li Jue led his army in a surprise attack, broke out from the north gate, and is attacking our camp."
Li Jue wants to break out?
Gan Ning was startled, then thought about it carefully, and said with some confusion: "Although there is not much food and grass in Chiyang City, there is still a lot of it. We have only besieged the city for one day, why is he in such a hurry to leave the city?"
Ji Ling immediately asked: "Can you see Li Jue himself?"
The soldier said: "It's too dark to see, but you can see Li Jue's flag. When we came, Li Jue's flag had already rushed to the middle of the camp, and it seemed that he was rushing out with all his heart."
When Ji Ling heard this, he felt like an ant on fire: "Li Jue is trying to escape. General Gan, if we let Li Jue run away, we will have nothing to gain."
Gan Ning felt something was wrong and said doubtfully: "Since you are escaping for your life, shouldn't you be doing it secretly? Why do you raise your flag high and show it to the enemy? It's obvious that this person is definitely a fake!" Gan Ning said more and more The more confident he said, "I'm sure the real Li Jue is still hiding in the city. When we all pounce on that handsome flag, the real Li Jue will come out and run for his life."
Ji Ling's eyes lit up and he said, "A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Gan Ning nodded confidently.
Then he ordered: "Heir, let me take the tooth flag of me and General Ji Ling, and lead the army to hunt down that handsome flag."
Ji Ling said with admiration: "Just follow the plan, General Gan is really a Confucian general!"
Gan Ning said: "We will prepare immediately. When the fish takes the bait, we will catch it in one fell swoop. At that time, we can capture Li Jue and present it to the lord."
Ji Ling's face flushed with excitement and he immediately went to the headquarters camp to prepare.
Standing on the top of Chiyang City, he saw the two tooth flags from Gan Ning's camp outside chasing the handsome flag at the south gate. Li Jue sneered confidently: "You are going to use the trick? You are underestimating the master behind me. .”
Then he turned around and asked, "Are you ready?"
A man in black robes walked out of the darkness: "You're ready, General."
Li Jue nodded: "Go!"
The man in black robe walked into the darkness and walked down the city wall.
Looking at the two fang flags gradually blending into the night, Li Jue deeply lamented the importance of these counselors. He really took every step and took everyone into account, allowing them to move in according to the layout he had planned.
Suddenly he thought of Dong Zhuo's counselor: Li Ru.
If Li Ru could serve him, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a scene today!
So he made up his mind that after this crisis passed, he would ask Li Ru to come out to help him achieve hegemony. If he didn't come, he would have to kidnap him. I heard that he had returned to his hometown of Jiyang, so he went to Jiya. Yang bar.
Li Jue looked at the crowds of people below the city and made silent plans in his heart.
but.
Can this crisis be overcome?
