A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Guo Feng's face darkened, and he also cursed angrily.

"How arrogant! Do you really think this defense is afraid of you?"

The burly man with the dark face then roared angrily.

"Whether you're afraid or not, the battlefield will tell! If you have the guts, tomorrow, let's each take our positions and fight to the death!"

Guo Feng glared and roared angrily.

"Fine! Tomorrow, I will surely kill you!"

Both sides snorted coldly and went back to their respective places.

The clerk was worried when he heard about the agreement.

Guo Feng instantly suppressed his anger and sneered.

"Li Rui, you little brat, trying to provoke me? What a joke! He's probably running out of supplies and desperately wants a decisive battle."

The registrar was taken aback.

"Then why would the general agree?"

Guo Feng was even more disdainful.

"So what if we agreed? Let's keep stalling. Ignore him tomorrow, wait until his supplies run out, then we'll give him a good beating!"

The registrar chuckled.

"The commander-in-chief is indeed a brilliant move. If he had refused outright, Li Rui might have decisively led his men to retreat."

This keeps him hanging in the balance, leaving him with no way to advance or retreat!

Guo Fengmei stroked his beard, thoroughly enjoying the flattery.

He's known as the second Guo Gong, and that title isn't just for show!

at the same time.

In the Jin army's formation.

The burly man with the dark face said excitedly.

"How was it? Was my acting convincing?"

Zeng Feng said expressionlessly.

"The general would never speak so rashly as you."

Zhao Kuangyin's lips twitched.

"Oh well, whatever, nobody on the other side has ever seen the general before."

Zeng Feng smiled slightly.

"That's true. Guo Feng prides himself on his intelligence and thought he had figured out the general's plan, but in reality, he has already fallen into a trap."

Zhao Kuangyin took a bite of the flatbread and then tore off a strip of dried meat.

"However, Guo Feng was right about one thing: we are running out of food and we do need a decisive battle."

Zeng Feng turned his gaze northward.

"It is a decisive battle, but the battlefield for that battle is not here."

Following Zeng Feng's gaze, they headed north.

It's dozens of miles away.

Yu County.

This is the administrative center of Weizhou, and also the most important city in Weizhou.

Truckloads of grain and fodder were being continuously transported south.

Yuan Jia, the prefect of Weizhou, was instructing the laborers to work quickly.

Originally, Weizhou did not have a prefect, but only a defense commissioner who held all military and political power.

However, the Khitans feared that Weizhou would fall back into the hands of the Jin state, so they implemented a system of decentralization.

Guo Feng was a local, and he was appointed as the defense commissioner.

Then, Yuan Jia was transferred from the distant Youzhou and appointed as the governor of Weizhou.

As a result, Guo Feng no longer had absolute say.

For Guo Feng, the sudden appearance of Yuan Jia took away a portion of his power.

Naturally, the two did not get along well.

However, a formidable enemy is at hand.

Yuan Jia knew very well that this was not the time for internal strife.

While Guo Feng led his troops out to resist Li Rui, Guo Feng did his best to raise and transport supplies in the rear.

After Li Rui was driven away.

It's never too late to divide power again after internal strife.

Yuan Jia is forty years old this year, but his beard has already turned white.

"Hurry up! The army is waiting at the front; don't let anything be wasted!"

After a flurry of activity, the official beside him complained.

"My lord, what exactly is Guo Feng doing? It's been so many days, and he still hasn't reached Flying Fox Pass?"

Yuan Jia's eyes widened.

"Do you understand military affairs? If you don't, don't talk nonsense!"

The officials were helpless.

"I don't understand, but what if Guo Feng can't stop Li Rui?"

Yuan Jia's face twitched, and he cursed.

"If you continue to speak nonsense and disrupt morale, I will arrest you and behead you as a warning to others!"

The officials repeatedly raised their hands, indicating their surrender.

Yuan Jia said this.

But I still couldn't help but mutter to myself.

The man from the Jin army was none other than Li Yulong, a renowned figure in Hebei!

Can Guo Feng really hold them off?

Just then.

A letter was delivered.

Yuan Jia opened it and was overjoyed!

"Haha, Guo Fangyu is indeed a second Guo Gong, his strategies are divine and ingenious, he has completely figured out Li Rui's plan!"

The official's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it to examine it closely.

The letter contained Guo Feng's judgment.

Every word exudes an absolute confidence in victory!

"Tsk, Guo, the defender, truly lives up to his reputation as a famous general."

Yuan Jia's eyes narrowed.

"You were just worried about what would happen if you couldn't stop Li Rui."

The official scratched his head in embarrassment.

He was about to speak.

Sudden.

The laborers transporting the grain stirred.

Yuan Jia frowned and shouted.

"What's wrong? It's a mess!"

boom!

A grain wagon has overturned on the ground.

The surrounding laborers let out several terrified screams, hurriedly turned their heads, and ran away as fast as they could!

More and more laborers seemed to see something terrifying.

They screamed and fled in panic!

Yuan Jia was furious and cursed loudly.

"Why are you running?! What's going on?! Where's the military judge? Anyone who dares to run away will be beheaded!"

The voice just fell.

The official pointed to the smoke and dust ahead and said in alarm.

"My lord, look! It's the Jin army, a huge Jin army!"

Without a second thought, Yuan Jia cursed loudly.

"Bullshit! This is Yu County, not Feihu Pass, where did you come from..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

A large flag came into view.

"Li, Commander of the Right Wing of the Jin Yiwu Army".

Yuan Jia stood on the carriage, staring dumbfounded at the flag.

The surrounding laborers were already in chaos, rushing towards the city gate in an attempt to escape into the city.

The officials screamed in terror.

"Fu-kun! Fu-kun!"

Yuan Jia felt a buzzing in his ears and could vaguely hear someone calling him.

But he was completely dumbfounded.

I'm at a loss.

I was in a daze.

He couldn't believe it.

He's incredible.

How could Jin troops possibly be present in Yu County?!

Aren't Guo Feng's six thousand men blocking the Flying Fox Pass right now?

Sudden.

Snapped!

A slap landed on his face.

Yuan Jia suddenly woke up with a start.

The official shouted anxiously.

"My lord! Li Rui is here! Li Rui has attacked!!"

Yuan Jia was extremely flustered!

They had already cursed Guo Feng and his ancestors for eighteen generations!

"Retreat quickly, retreat into the city..."

His first instinct was to retreat to Yu County and rely on the city for defense.

however.

I turned my head and took a look.

But they found thousands of laborers scrambling to squeeze through the city gate.

The city gates were already completely blocked!

Everyone wanted to be the first to get into the city.

But the consequence of doing so was that everything piled up at the entrance.

Nobody can get in!

Yuan Jia saw this.

His face instantly turned deathly pale!

Then turn your head to look south.

The flag is getting closer and closer.

Yuan Jia tried to swallow to moisten his dry throat.

After catching his breath several times, he shook his head bitterly.

"Let it drop."

The officials were astonished.

"My lord, what did you say?"

Yuan Jia was even more distressed.

"I said, lower it! What else can we do?"

Guo Feng took all his soldiers away, leaving only five hundred miscellaneous soldiers in the city. How could they possibly hold it?

Besides, I can't even get through the city gates, how am I supposed to defend it?

The officials were numb with fear, yet they still knew.

There's no other way.

……

Not far away.

Li Rui, dressed in simple cloth and carrying a long sword, was running with all his might.

He had two ropes on his shoulders and a plank dragging behind him.

Heavy, luminous armor was strapped to the wooden plank.

Dragging the armor on the ground like this greatly reduces its weight.

Convenient for rapid marches.

The downside is that it can only travel on main roads, otherwise it is prone to tipping over.

The two thousand soldiers behind Li Rui did the same.

So even though they only had two thousand people, they made a lot of dust.

We sped all the way to the entrance of Yu County.

The chaotic scene of laborers and corvée workers came into view.

Li Rui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

he knows.

This battle.

He won!

Just as they were about to storm the city and take over its defenses...

A middle-aged man knelt on the ground and kowtowed bitterly.

"Yuan Jia, the governor of Weizhou, led five hundred miscellaneous soldiers and tens of thousands of people from Wei County to surrender to the general!"

"I beseech the general to have a kind and compassionate heart, and refrain from looting and killing; spare the people of Wei County!"
