After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 398
Wu Wang Fucha also felt aggrieved at this time. As the king of a country, he just killed a few insignificant people, and it would cause a rebellion. He really didn't think of it beforehand.

In an emergency, he could only flee out of the city in a hurry and entered the barracks, preparing to lead people into the new city to suppress the rebellion.

At this time, Bo Pi really felt that there was something unusual, so he stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Your Majesty's situation is unclear at this time, and this rebellion is very strange. Before that, there were spies operating in the city, so we should rush to the central city at this time."

"Judging from the news we got a few days ago, Zhongwu's siege has been lifted, and our goal has been achieved. Since this is not worth wasting too much time for a new city."

It was a pity that Fu Chai, king of Wu, had finally obtained such a prosperous commercial city, but now he was about to lose it again. But he also knew the morals of the world, and he should give up something now, so he ordered the army to march into Zhongcheng.

Under such a blunder, when Mengdi arrived at Xincheng, Wu Jun had already left earlier, which also made him feel a little helpless, but now that Xincheng was in chaos, he still sent people into the city to suppress it.

It took half a day for the new city to restore stability. Those Wu officials should be killed and released. The original order of the new city was restored, and many people were relieved. , Ji Ran also rushed over with his troops.

Meng Di shook his head helplessly, and after sighing, he said to Ji Ran.

"It seems that we came a step too late. Wu Jun actually left Xincheng, and it seemed that he was heading for Zhongcheng. This is obviously going to lead us around in circles. It is obvious that King Wu Fuchai is not going to continue the fight."

Ji Ran frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, and said after a while of careful thinking.

"If this is the case, the other party must want to see how we will react next. Since they dared to go to Zhongcheng, they must go directly south and rush back to Wu State. It must be the news of Chen He's dispatch that Fucha knew about. .”

"Otherwise, they wouldn't do such a thing. Why don't you let me lead the troops to rescue Zhongcheng? Fucha, the king of Wu, will see that my troops are too small. He will definitely think of fighting a battle before leaving. At that time, the lord can take the opportunity to outflank the city." The opponent's back."

"In this way, we are still in a pincer position. As long as we can defeat the Wu army, then our country of Han will be able to do all the work this time. It should not be too late. I will lead the troops out now."

After hearing this, Meng Di directly stretched out his hand to hold Ji Ran, and said with a very solemn expression.

"Sir, you have helped me a lot along the way. How can you let sir take risks at this time? Please stay in the new city. When the time comes, I will personally lead the infantry to meet King Wu, and let Emperor Shi lead the cavalry to outflank the back road." .”

Seeing that Ji Ran wanted to speak more, Mengdi shook his head resolutely, and he said in a decisive tone.

"Even if we do not achieve our strategic goals in this war with Wu, so what? As long as you are still here, we will work together and we will still have another chance. If something happens to you because of this adventure."

"Then I will regret it all my life in the future, not to mention that I have practiced martial arts for many years, and I have the power to protect myself on the battlefield, and these infantry trainings are all done by Mr. Sun. They are all elite soldiers, and there are guards around me Protect."

"So you don't have to worry too much, sir. Please wait for the news of my triumphant return in the new city. At that time, I will ask you to take charge of the overall situation, so don't refuse me in this kind of matter."

Ji Ran's eye circles turned red slightly, he saluted heavily, and then spoke.

"My lord treats me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay him as a soldier of the country. If this is the case, please my lord must promise the old man to return safely."

Meng Di nodded, then turned to see Emperor Shi, and asked with a calm smile.

"This time you and I are fighting side by side. Whether you win or lose depends on your performance. I hope this battle can bring out the national prestige of our country of Han. Fight for a few years of respite!"

Emperor Shi was also moved by the conversation between the two just now, so he turned over and said loudly.

"Don't worry, my lord. If I make a big mistake this time, I will ask for military law to deal with it after I come back. Let's go, lads."

Seeing the Marquis of Han personally leading the troops, the infantry boosted their morale, and each soldier's eyes showed excitement, so they immediately started to set off.

Before Fu Chai arrived in Zhongcheng, he received the news in less than a day, saying that Meng Di had brought fifty thousand infantry to chase after him. He almost thought he heard it wrong, and after repeated confirmation, he realized it was true. Yes, so he snorted and said.

"This Meng Di looks down on people too much. He dared to chase us with his infantry, but where will their cavalry go? Could it be that they went after Shou Yu Yao?"

Speaking of this, his face changed. If this is true, then this time, wouldn't it be that all previous efforts have been wasted, and so much effort was spent just to mobilize the main force of the Han army. After all, food is what the Wu army is most in short supply now.

If these grains were lost within a short period of time, the state of Wu would no longer be able to launch a war abroad. This was the most unbearable thing for Fu Chai, the king of Wu. At this time, Bo Pi also frowned and thought for a while, and then proposed.

"The king's matter is a bit strange. I'm afraid there is deceit in it. We can't stay here for a long time. It is the best policy to return to Wu country directly. That Mengdi is a cunning person, we have to guard against it."

But Wu Wang Fuchai is also a conceited person. After hearing this, his face showed displeasure, and he glanced at Bo Pi.

"Why, Xiangguo? Ever since you dispatched troops this time, you have always been afraid of Mengdi in your words. I don't know why? Do you really think that our Wu army can't even take down a mere [-] infantry? "

"If this is the case, then how can our country of Wu dominate the world? The princes and states in the world are all talking about the Han country. Today, the king will have to experience it and see how capable this Meng Di is. In the hands of the king."

As soon as Bo Pi heard this, he knew that things were going to be bad. However, he had followed Wu Wang Fuchai for so many years, and he also knew the other party's temper. I thought too much about myself.
