Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2522 Capture the three counties of Longxi
Chapter 2518: Capture the three counties of Longxi
"Lei'er, what are your plans next?" Ji Chang asked.

After pondering for a while, Lei Zhenzi said, "I'm going back to the Qin Camp, pretending that I have persuaded my father to buy time for the army to retreat."

Although Lei Zhenzi was a God of War general, the current situation in Longxi could not be reversed with just one more God of War.

Instead of recklessly rebelling directly, he should continue to go undercover to buy more time for his father Ji Chang.

But Ji Chang shook his head and said, "If you really go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back again."

Lei Zhenzi was a little puzzled, but Ji Chang explained: "Do you really think that Xuanyuan ordered you to be his envoy to trust you?"

"If you don't really trust me, why did Xuanyuan send me here instead of Fourth Brother?" Lei Zhenzi asked in confusion.

But Ji Fa shook his head, and said: "When Xuanyuan was the king of Liao, he was betrayed by Chen Baxian, and he was also betrayed by the state many times after that, and he suffered a lot for it.

How could such a person trust someone without any basis for trust? "

Before Ji Chang was blinded by hatred because of the hatred of losing his son, so that he couldn't see many things clearly, but now after he calmed down completely, Ji Chang burst out with amazing wisdom.

Ji Fa also felt that what his father said was reasonable, so he added: "And the grievances between you and Daqin, Brother Lei, are well known in Yuqing's family, and many of your senior brothers have also descended to Qin together. Do you think they will have something to do with Xuanyuan?" Are you hiding it?"

After hearing what his father and brother said, Lei Zhenzi couldn't help shaking, and immediately realized that Xuanyuan probably saw through him long ago, and letting him out this time was just to use him for fishing.

If he doesn't come back together, then Xuanyuan can take this opportunity to completely solve the hidden danger he left behind, and Yuqing's generals will have nothing to say, after all, who made him surrender and rebel.

If he went back, it meant that the fish had taken the bait, and he could just lay a trap to lure Ji Chang and his son behind him. He might not be in danger of his life in the future, but he would definitely be imprisoned for life.

In short, no matter whether he returns or not, Xuanyuan has corresponding preparations.

hiss……

Lei Zhenzi gasped suddenly, he thought he was hiding well, but he didn't expect Xuanyuan to see through it so easily.

Sure enough, in front of famous generals like Xuanyuan, he was still too immature, and he couldn't play with them at all.

"Then what does the father think the child should do?" Lei Zhenzi asked.

Ji Chang analyzed: "Going back is throwing yourself into a trap, so you must not go back, stay and help your father.

As for abandoning Longxi and retreating to Qiang, Xuanyuan might have already guessed it.

Let's figure it out, father and son, how can we confuse Xuanyuan and withdraw from Longxi. "

"En." Lei Zhenzi nodded.

After sending Lei Zhenzi to rest, Ji Fa went to find Ji Chang alone.

"Father, Brother Lei was here just now, so there are some things that I can't say clearly." Ji Fa said seriously.

Ji Chang knew that his second son was extremely intelligent, and after hearing this, he asked, "Is there anything you can't say in person, can you say it only after Lei Er is gone?"

"Father, both you and Brother Lei have been blinded by hatred. In fact, you should be very clear in your heart that if you continue to fight against Da Qin, you will definitely die." Ji Fa said.

Unlike Ji Chang and Lei Zhenzi, although Ji Fa was also resentful for the deaths of his brothers, he was not dazzled by hatred.

He knows that fighting against Daqin is a dead end. After all, even the master has fallen to Daqin, how can a Ji family be worthy of being against Daqin?

Hearing this, Ji Chang couldn't help clenching his fists. He has a political attribute of 100 and an intelligence attribute of 96. How can he not understand that being an enemy of Daqin is tantamount to being a car with the arms of a mantis.

But more than [-] sons in a row died in the battle with the Qin army, and the hatred between him and Da Qin was already doomed, and only one side could be resolved.

"Fa'er, since you knew this, why did you come back and die with your father?" Ji Chang asked calmly.

"Children are not greedy for life and afraid of death, how can they sit and watch their father fight alone." Ji Fa said firmly.

Hearing this, Ji Fa burst into tears and said, "Fa'er, do you have any plans?"

"Father, let's see."

As he said that, Ji Fafa took out a map from his arms, which was the printed version of the map of the world drawn by Ye Qingmei, and the original was naturally reserved for the collection of the Daqin Palace.

"Father, the world we live in is actually very big, China is only a small part of it, and there is still a vast land west of the Western Regions."

As he spoke, Ji Fa pointed to the land to the west of the Western Regions, and explained to him the major forces in Central Asia.

After the "Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu" was released, although it has been spread in the Great Qin, most people don't know the whole picture of the world due to the short time of spreading.

Jichang, who has been living in Longxi, naturally does not know such advanced knowledge as Wanguotu.

When he learned that to the west of the Western Regions, there are still dozens of powers such as Guishuang, Persia, and Da Yuezhi, and these powers have a population of several million or a population of nearly a million, Ji Chang was shocked. , I never thought that the outside of China would be so vast.

"Father, there are five empires, nine kingdoms, and thirteen small countries to the west of the Western Regions. They are not small in terms of population or land. The most important thing is that their civilization level is still very low, and their military strength is weak."

As he said that, Ji Fa's eyes flashed with fire, it was his ambition that was burning.

Since he can't convince his father and younger brother, and he is unwilling to join Daqin, the only way is to strengthen his power as much as possible, hoping to return to Shenzhou to avenge Daqin one day.

Ji Chang understood what Ji Fa meant. The vast land has a population of tens of millions. The most important thing is that the level of civilization is low, the army is weak, and the princes of the Central Plains have not set their sights on this place.

If he, Ji Chang, can occupy this place, if he becomes the Qin Shihuang of this area, he may not be able to return to Shenzhou in the future and avenge Ying Hao.

Ji Chang knows that it is very difficult to achieve these things. Since people have hope, it is better than no hope at all.

"Fa'er, what do you mean, our father and son retreated to the Qiang land first, attached ourselves to Yang Guang, accumulated strength, and then looked for opportunities to enter the Western Regions and gradually attack the Far West?"

"That's right, Yang Guang's two western expeditions within two years, in addition to expanding his power, must have also used the Western Regions, or even the Far West, as the Sui Kingdom's retreat.

Once Qin and Sui officially started war, and Liangzhou couldn't hold it, the Sui army would surely retreat westward. "

As he said that, a strange look flashed in Ji Fa's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Although Yang Guang is not very good at fighting, he still has a good eye."

"That's right, the Far West is the Sui Kingdom's way out, but it's the only way out for our father and son."

Ji Chang sighed softly, he had never thought about this before, he only wanted to fight with Bao Qin to the end, but this is a road that must die.

But now his second son, who is extremely intelligent, proposed a way out for him. Between life and death, Ji Chang naturally knew how to choose.

"Fa'er, let's do as you said. We father and son will retreat to the Qiang land first, and then rely on Yang Guang to continue our strength, and then seek opportunities to retreat into the Western Regions and attack the Far West. This is the only way for our father and son to survive. .” Ji Chang said.

Ji Fa nodded, and then said: "But before that, there are still two major problems to be solved.

One is to find a way to confuse Xuanyuan so that our army can retreat into the Qiang land safely.

The second is how to show the dignity of our army under the attack of [-] Sui troops after retreating into the Qiang land, so that Yang Guang can retreat in spite of the difficulties and accept my father and son's support. "

Neither of the two problems Ji Fa raised was easy to solve, but in the end it was much easier than defending Longxi.

The next day, Ji Chang asked Lei Zhenzi to write a letter to Xuanyuan.

In the letter, Lei Zhenzi stated his father's decision to defend Longxi to the death. As a son, he couldn't bear to be an enemy of his father, nor could he bear to see his father die in battle, so he decided to fight to the end with his father.

At the same time, Ji Chang also dispatched troops and generals to confuse and paralyze Xuanyuan as if he would stand firm to the end.

Xuanyuan had already seen that Lei Zhenzi was feigning surrender, but due to Tu Xingsun, Longxuhu, Yang Ren and other Yuqing disciples, as well as the face of the fourth brother Ji Dan, he would not directly attack Lei Zhenzi, so He deliberately gave him a chance to test him.

As Xuanyuan expected, Lei Zhenzi did not come back, and he happened to solve a hidden danger.

Lei Zhenzi never returned, and the disciple Yuqing who had previously guaranteed him, as well as the fourth brother Ji Dan, were in an awkward situation all of a sudden.

For this, Xuanyuan did not blame them, but comforted them, saying that this was Lei Zhenzi's personal behavior and had nothing to do with them, and he would not hold them accountable.

Of course, even though Xuanyuan said so, he still has to guard against it. After all, he did it on purpose this time, but if there is another Lei Zhenzi, it will be his responsibility.

Xuanyuan knew that Lei Zhenzi was pretending to surrender, so he naturally made all preparations for it.

He thought that Lei Zhenzi would come back, and lied about persuading Ji Chang to surrender, but when he surrendered, he fought back, but he didn't expect that the other party made the most stupid choice, and he would not come, and claimed that he would fight his father and brother to the death in the end.

Now Xuanyuan can't be straightened out, and the subsequent series of arrangements are also stuck, and there is no way to continue. I can't wait to teach Lei Zhenzi how to feign surrender.

However, this didn't have much impact on Xuanyuan. The time to do more to attack Longxi was delayed. Anyway, he was planning to slow down the speed of the attack.

But what Xuanyuan didn't expect was that just when he had assembled his troops and was about to march into Didao, Ji Chang voluntarily gave up Didao City and led an army of [-] cavalry to flee to Qiang.

Xuanyuan immediately realized that he had been fooled, and immediately led [-] cavalry to pursue him, but he did not catch up until Qiangdi, only to realize that he was chasing the wrong way, and a tangled choice appeared.

Should we continue to pursue Ji Chang and his son?

Or withdraw the troops and occupy the whole territory of Longxi first?
"General, the last general thinks that Longxi should be captured first." Yang Renjin said.

"Oh? Tell me carefully."

"Yes, there are two reasons for this final remark.

One is that Ji Chang has already fled, and the dragons in Longxi County have no leader. As soon as our army arrives, they will definitely surrender without a fight. It will not take long to occupy the entire territory of Longxi.

The second is that the Sui State is attacking the three counties of the Tang State in the Qiang area, and Ji Chang is allowed to fight with the Sui army to lose both sides. "Yang Ren analyzed.

Xuanyuan thought it was reasonable, so he withdrew his troops and went to occupy Longxi.

As Yang Ren expected, with Ji Chang suppressing him before, most people dare not surrender.

Now without Ji Chang's restraint, the Tang army in Longxi no longer had the will to fight. Facing the Qin army coming in large numbers, the defenders of the cities did not dare to make any resistance at all, and surrendered to the Qin army one after another.

Xuanyuan's army marched all the way, except for two counties that refused to surrender, they met almost no resistance, and captured the entire territory of Longxi very easily.

As for the two counties that refused to surrender, in the face of Xuanyuan's strong attack, they barely persisted for an hour before being forcibly breached by the Qin army.

From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, Xuanyuan took only [-] days to occupy the land of [-] counties in Longxi, which can be said to be extremely fast.

After Xuanyuan occupied Longxi, he did not send troops to Qiang, because he had already received the news that Ji Chang and his son, who had retreated into Qiang, had fought with the Sui army after incorporating the Tang army in Qiang.

Facing Yang Su's [-] Sui army, Ji Chang and his son, who had only [-] to [-] Tang troops, were at an absolute disadvantage, but they were not incapable of fighting.

Xuanyuan's sending troops to Qiang territory at this time is likely to trigger a chain reaction, so he naturally gave up and decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Soon after Xuanyuan occupied the Longxi Army, Wu Qi took the first step and captured 7 counties in Wudu County, and then Longqi also captured 12 counties of the Hanyang Army.

Since then, the three counties in Longxi have been completely owned by Daqin.
