For three consecutive days, Meng Ao did not order the siege of the city. His reason was simple: the catapult was destroyed, and the intensity of the attack was seriously frustrated. Before the new catapult was delivered, the siege needed to be discussed in the long run.

In fact, he himself felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched. Facing a powerful opponent like Ji Jie, one must always be careful, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes. Sima Jing once told him that the two incidents of food and grass being robbed during the attack on Wangcheng were actually the same. It was written by Ji Jie.

Not good, forage!

"Pioneer General, hurry up and lead your troops to the rocky valley west of the king's city!" Meng Ao said in a hurry: "The sooner the better, you must join the grain transport team!"

General Pioneer was a little confused and said, "General, what do you mean?"

"Ji Jie may want to rob food!"

"Then this subordinate will go right away!" General Pioneer ran out of the big tent.

A few hours later, the Vanguard General returned with bad news. One hour before they arrived at the Rocky Valley, Zhao Ling under Ji Jie's men led three thousand cavalry to intercept the food convoy, and robbed the convoy after killing them. The [-] shi of grain and grass on the cart.

Meng Ao was very angry. This was the third time he was robbed of food. He lost thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of stones, food and grass. In addition to the failure of the siege two days ago, he had been defeated by Ji Jie four times. .

Fortunately, every time the troops escorting grain and grass were personally appointed by the King of Qin, otherwise he, the great general, would have been the leader long ago.

"Don't be annoyed, General. The army has plenty of food and grass, and it can last for ten days!" Sima Jing persuaded: "The next time the food and grass are delivered, the king will send more people to accompany him to protect him!"

Some families are happy and some are sad, Ji Jie is rewarding the soldiers who robbed food.

Zhao Ling is glad that he chose Ji Jie as the lord, and he has accumulated more credits in a short period of time than he did in the Zhao Kingdom. Except for Ji Jian, who is slightly older than him, he is already the number two in Zhaocheng. up.

After receiving the battle report from the front line, the king of Qin couldn't wait to send an envoy to urge Meng Ao to attack the city immediately, and must take Zhaocheng and Longcheng within a month, otherwise he will be replaced.

One month is easier said than done. |

The king's order was hard to disobey, so Meng Ao had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack the city several times. The west gate was still the main attack direction, and the south gate was also attacked twice, but was repulsed by the defenders led by Ji Jia. This kid is much stronger than his dead ghost father too much.

The law and order in the city was not affected by the spies, but dozens of people were arrested instead. Sima Jing had to make adjustments and focused his attack on Ji Jia.

Since the hard ones are not enough, then come soft ones.

After Sima Jing got Meng Ao's approval, he sent someone to see Ji Jie, and said that as long as he was willing to open the city gate and let the Qin army in, he would return the royal city to him and support him to inherit the throne of emperor.

Moreover, the king of Qin will recognize his legitimacy and declare that he will never invade the territory of Dazhou in the future. Of course, Zhaocheng and Longcheng will belong to Qin. When he opens the gate of Zhaocheng, Ji Zhang will also open the gate of Longcheng .

Ji Jia was moved.

It stands to reason that a small ruined royal city should not arouse his interest, but now he has more than 1 horsemen, but no territory, surrounded by powerful enemies, it is difficult to rely on these 1 people to build a world for himself .

Moreover, under Ji Jie's roof, he will be annexed by him sooner or later. If he can regain control of the royal city and get the support of Qin, he will be able to ascend to the throne of the emperor smoothly. Only when he has a base can he develop his power.

"But how can I believe that the King of Qin will support me?" Ji Jie is a smart man, he doesn't want to be used by others, if he opens the city gate, Meng Ao gets Zhaocheng and Longcheng, and he turns his face and refuses to admit that he once said If not, he will lose a lot, at least he still has a place to stay.

The visitor smiled and took out a letter written by Meng Ao from his sleeve, and said: "His Royal Highness, please have a look, this is General Meng's handwritten letter. You should know that without the approval of Lu Xiangguo and the King, how could he Dare to give you such a promise!"

Ji Jie read the contents of the letter once, and the words were very sincere, not fake.

"But my father died at the hands of Qin people. If I cooperate with you, I will be reviled!" Ji Jia said pretending not to be interested.

The visitor was in a hurry, stepped forward and said: "Why is the prince so confused, can you be crowned a great treasure without us coming? Don't forget Ji Jie, he is a very ambitious guy!"

King Zhou Nan's last words were vivid in his mind, Ji Jia just wanted to give herself some bargaining chips.

"Well, I'll report back to General Meng immediately and ask King Qin to give you some compensation!" The man said with a smile, "It's our punishment for killing the emperor by mistake. What do you think of 10 taels of gold?"

"30, I promise!"

"30 is too much, you can't be a lion, 15!"

"No, at least 25!"

"Let's each make a concession, 20!"

"make a deal!"

After the man left, Ji Jia hummed a little tune. He never thought that he could take advantage of his father's death to knock Qin Guo a fortune. This is all right, as long as the city gate is opened, the royal city is his own, and there are still 20 Ten thousand taels of gold, no need to worry about enthronement and subsequent expenses.

I have to send a confidant to Longcheng to find my younger brother Ji Zhang, and make an appointment to meet the Qin army together in the city.

……

Ji Jie, who was present, heard the knock on the door and shouted, "Come in!"

Sima Xueran pushed the door open and entered, with her hair hanging over her fragrant shoulders, and wearing a silk nightgown, it seemed that she had already fallen asleep, she had received important news, and she sent it here before she had time to dress up, maybe she left Too anxious, full boobs shaking up and down.

Not to mention, she has a special charm at this time, Ji Jie couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

"What are you looking at!" Sima Xueran scowled coquettishly, and when she saw Ji Jie's eyes fixed on her breasts, she immediately folded her arms shyly.

"Hehe, who made you look so good!" Ji Jie said with a smile, "Why are you looking for me so late, do you want to warm my bed?"

"Go to hell, it's only a fool to warm your bed!" Sima Xueran angrily threw a letter and said, "Look, there's big trouble!"

Ji Jie frowned slightly, and after reading the letter, he smiled and said, "Okay, that's great!"

Are you okay?Sima Xueran stretched out a small hand and put it on Ji Jie's forehead, blinked his eyes and said, "It's not burning, you actually applauded such a big thing, are you okay?"

Ji Jie suddenly took her little hand in his hand, and while stroking it, he said lazily, "Of course I'm not sick. Since you're here, don't leave. How lonely you are sleeping alone!"

With a convenient pull, Sima Xueran lost his balance and fell into Ji Jie's arms.
