Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 218 Liu Ji Goes North ([-])

"If the lord votes for the state of Chu, join Xiang Yu's command. At least in the future, when the Xiang clan annihilates the tyrant Qin and redesignates the princes, he can become the lord of one side. And we will not resist each other because of the Qin army's invasion. , Isn't this very good?" Xu Zhou's last words shocked Yong Chi's wavering heart.

"So I defected to Xiang Yu. Although I don't know if he can make me lead the army. But at least before he wins Sishui County, he must show his attitude that he will lay down capital for me in the future under Xiang's command." Yong Chi looked at the tents in the tent. Will, said slowly.

Zhou Fang, Ying Hao, Huang Li, and Guanba had already cast their minds to the outside world, how could they know what kind of attitude Yong Chi was looking at them with?This also gave Yong Chi the meaning that all the generals under his command agreed to serve Xiang Shi first and follow him after Tyranny was destroyed.Yong Chi never imagined that he would regret his decision for the rest of his life in the future.

Peijun camp.

Liu Ji was sleeping, and the guard general Xi Juan came in to report.

"Pei Gong! An envoy from the Chu army has come and is waiting outside the tent. Shall we meet right away?" Xi Juan said after shaking Liu Ji awake.

"Hurry up and invite him in, I want to meet you in person!" Liu Ji heard that he was the envoy of the Chu army, and said without thinking too much while putting on his robe.

……

"Meet Peigong!"

Inside the big tent, a black-clothed emissary bowed his hands in salute.Liu Ji saw that this person looked like a soldier, and asked with some doubts: "I don't know who the messenger is? Why did you come here?"

Under the influence of Liu Ji, the envoy was dressed as a literati.How can he be like the man in black, dressed like a lieutenant in the army when he is idle?

"A certain family is Li Er, Li Er, a personal soldier under General You's account. He was specially ordered to come to inform Pei Gong. My general went to Pengcheng in the name of a general, but in fact, he had already set up an ambush on the retreat road of the Qin army! According to reliable news, the Qin army will be here today. In the evening, they all fled from the camp. My general asked Peigong to lead his troops to help and destroy the Qin soldiers when he saw the fire in the south." The man in black clad his hand and Xiang Shi introduced his identity and dispelled Liu Ji's doubts; Say what you want in the future.

"Chu's army is all elite, the right general can use me, Liu?" Liu Ji asked very self-deprecatingly.

"Both Pei Gong and You General are anti-Qin righteous men. My general has long been fascinated. It's just that he has never seen it! Now that he can enter Sishui County to jointly destroy the Qin army, he can see Pei Gong's demeanor. My general is very proud!" Hei The man in the shirt bowed his hands to flatter Liu Ji with a natural expression.

Liu Ji was very complacent at the beginning, and even Li Qi, a general of the Chu army, knew himself.But when the man in black finished speaking, he was indeed a little suspicious.

Seeing that Liu Ji stopped talking, the man in black clasped his hands and said, "Since the message has been delivered, please forgive me for being rude. Turn around and report to General Ming first! Farewell!"

Saying that, the man in black ignored Xi Juan's request to leave the big tent; he went straight to the gate of the camp!

Just when Liu Ji came back to his senses and wanted to question him carefully, he found that the man in black had disappeared.Looking at Xi Juan who was on the side, Xi Juan said that the envoy of Chu State would return and return.This made Liu Ji feel even more strange, so Xi Juan summoned Wang Xi, Shen Shiqi, and Cao Wushang to discuss.

First tell what the envoy of Chu State did, and then Liu Ji expressed his doubts.

"Pei Gong! This person is probably sent by the people of Qin to deceive you, Pei Gong. If you don't believe me, you can ask Captain Xiang Han not far away!" Cao Wushang immediately cupped his hands and said.

"Cao Canjun's words are right! Peigong, this must be the Qin army's trick to lure the enemy. Don't act rashly, otherwise the entire army may be wiped out!" Wang Xi nodded and said.

Liu Ji saw that two counselors had the same opinion as his, so he looked at Shen Shiqi and asked, "Shiqi, do you have any other opinions?"

"My subordinates have the same opinion as Master Wang and Cao Canjun! Please don't send troops, Mr. Pei!" Shen Shiqi looked at Liu Ji and didn't want to follow the words of the two of them.But seeing that Liu Ji trusted him so much, he had no choice but to say it.

There was indeed a fire in the south that night, but Liu Ji did not send troops out of the camp.This made the Qin army, who was ambushing outside the Pei army camp, return to the camp dejectedly at dawn, and also made Zhang Ping's plan to destroy the Pei army first and then go south to defeat the Chu army to fail.

Qin army camp.

Zhang Ping was waiting for Xu Lin to report the results, but he heard the scouts coming to report anxiously.

"Report! Pengcheng urgent report!" The scout knelt down and said eagerly.

"Yan!" Zhang Ping looked at the scouts on the ground calmly.

"General! Today the Chu army stormed Pengcheng and climbed up the city wall at the south gate and the east gate. In addition, the Chu army has a new type of siege weapon called the thunderbolt chariot. The stones thrown by this chariot can already Cross the city wall and smash into the city. And firmly suppress the crossbowmen on the city wall of our army, so that their siege troops can quickly approach." The scout reported anxiously. "County Lieutenant Leping was seriously injured when he led his troops back to the East City Gate. The Wang Junshou was not good at defending the city because he didn't know the art of war. So he ordered the humble officials to come and report, and asked the general to quickly lead the troops back to Pengcheng!"

"Does Sheriff Wang say that Pengcheng can hold on for a few more days?" Zhang Ping asked after hearing what the scouts said, knowing the urgency of the situation.

"The sheriff once said that Pengcheng can only be guarded for three days at most." The scout answered truthfully.

After the scout finished speaking, Zhang Ping waved his hand to signal him to rest without saying a word.

Seeing this, the scout cupped his hands and said, "General, please send troops quickly!"

"I know! You go down to rest first, and I will discuss who will lead the army after I call the generals!" Zhang Ping nodded and made a promise.

After the scouts left, the sergeants sent by Xu Lin also turned around.

Seeing that Xu Lin sent someone back, Zhang Ping asked excitedly, "How is the battle going?"

"General, Liu thief seems to have seen the general's plan. Up to now, he has not led troops out of the camp. The captain ordered me to come here to ask for instructions on whether to withdraw the troops and return to the camp?" Xu Lin's five hundred soldiers returned with hands clasped.

"Tell him to come back!" Zhang Ping waved his hand as he got into the handsome position decadently.

"Hey! It seems that the sky will not help me!" After the person who came to report left, Zhang Ping looked at the top of the tent and sighed as if he could see the sky.

...............

Zhang Ping led his troops back to Pengcheng to fight Li Qi, because Liu Ji, Xiang Han and others led their troops to arrive in time.Zhang Ping fled after a disastrous defeat, and fled to Weidi with the county guard Wang Zhuang, deputy general Xu Lin, and less than [-] cavalry.

After the war, Yong Chi led [-] troops to change the banner, became the Chu army, and even followed Li Qi's subordinates.Liu Ji asked Wang Su to intercede and live in Fengxiang; he planned to rely on Fengxiang to find land for living.Li Qi agreed immediately, but said that he would not provide Liu Ji with any food, grass or weapons.

Xiang Yu learned that Yongchi had led [-] troops to vote, and ordered [-] Yongchi's subordinates to be reorganized into the army.Then Tiao Yongchi returned to Wu County, ready to see if this person really worked for him.
