Chapter 555
There was a trace of sweat on the general's forehead. If the scout who delivered the letter was not 100% sure that what he saw was true, he would not have dared to report to Ji Bu.

Ji Bu frowned deeply: "This should be a trick of the Shu army. You order now, no matter what you see, you must report back in time."

Seeing that Ji Bu not only didn't blame himself, but looked solemn, the military commander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, general, the villain will definitely urge the scouts under his command, and if he finds anything unusual, he will come back and report it!"

"Well, very good! You go down first, remember, when you find something abnormal, you must report it as soon as possible!"

"Here!"

The military commander bowed his hands and retreated, and the camp fell into a dead silence.

After a while, Ji Bu walked out of the military tent and went outside to have a look.

The terrain of the Duanjiangkou is very special. There is a large distance to the north of the Suishui River, which is very wide. Only here, the terrain begins to change drastically.

It's like cutting off the entire Sui River, so it's called Duanjiangkou!
On the cliffs on both sides, a total of [-] troops have been ambushed. As long as Li Jing's army dares to appear, they will definitely surround Li Jing's army and leave no one behind!
Confidence gradually grew in Ji Bu's heart, and the [-] army was the biggest reliance on victory.

"Report-"

Suddenly a warrior on horseback rushed to Ji Bu, jumped off his horse, took out a letter, handed it to Ji Bu, and said at the same time: "General, this is a letter written by the king!"

Ji Bu didn't dare to hesitate, he quickly opened it to take a look, his eyes widened immediately, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

Xiang Yu said in the letter that he has now reached a consensus with Li Shimin to send troops northward first, and Zhao Guo and other countries surrounded and killed Qin Emperor Ying Fusu.

"It's no wonder that Li Jing's army started to build the army camp. I'm afraid that Li Shimin's letter was sent to the Shu army one step ahead." Ji Bu secretly thought, maybe this is the only explanation that can make it clear.

"You go and invite Mr. Xiangguo here." Ji Bu ordered, this matter is of great importance, he is not the only one who can testify, the most important thing is... to distinguish the authenticity of this letter.

Not long after, Guan Zhong came, took the letter from Ji Bu, read it, and pondered: "I'm sure, this must be the handwriting of the king, but I really didn't expect that among the princes, there can be an agreement. Consensus, let’s hunt down the Emperor of Qin together.”

"Then, what should our army do now?" Ji Bu asked subconsciously.

"Don't worry." Guan Zhong nodded and said, "Since the battle situation in the north has changed, and all the princes are besieging and killing the emperor of Qin, then there will be no problems. deal!"

Isn't that right, with so many people dispatching troops together, the total strength of the entire Luoyang area will soon reach more than 50.

……

In the Qin army tent, Fusu looked at the battle report sent by Mu Feng, and his face became very ugly.

Since King Xiang Yu of Chu and King Li Shimin of Shu made peace with each other, they came north with 20 troops. They could reach Luoyang in at most half a month...

"Summon to Zhang Han to strictly guard against Hangu Pass. If I find something is wrong here, I can withdraw to Hedong County. At that time, according to Hedong County, we can gather 20 troops, and we may not be afraid of this group of mobs. .”

"Here!"

Mu Feng bowed and stepped back.

Fu Su stood up, counting the time, Mu Guiying should have contacted the defenders in the city.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Qi walked in from outside the military tent, "According to the agreed time, our army should retreat [-] miles now, so that Mu Guiying and Chen Tang can have a chance to contact Lv Bu, so that we can send Lv Bu back." Cheat out of Luoyang City."

"That's right, I almost forgot about this matter." Fusu handed the battle report in his hand to Wu Qi, and Wu Qi's face changed slightly after reading it.

"The current matter has become very urgent. Will His Majesty continue to follow the original plan?" Wu Qi asked with some concern.

"What do you think, the general?" Fusu really couldn't pay attention now, who knows what Li Shimin and Xiang Yu did?

The combined manpower of the two countries is 20, but it is surprising that they did not start a war. Instead, they made peace with each other and led the army on their backs to hunt themselves.

This is really a pair of deadly enemies who love each other and kill each other, Fu Su thought with great evil in his heart.

Wu Qi thought for a while: "Now, once we succeed in deceiving Luoyang City, we can directly occupy Luoyang, which is enough to fight a decisive battle with Zhu Hou's army based on Luoyang City. It is necessary to throw away many cities such as Xidi, Mianchi, and Yucheng outside Hangu Pass.

But to put it another way, we may not be able to defend when the coalition forces in these places come up, so we might as well grit our teeth and persevere. The Fangzheng coalition forces are still half a month away from us, and we can definitely hold on. "

"Then let's do this." Fusu stood up, walked out of the military tent, thought for a while and said: "Send someone to send Wan'er to Zhongyi City first."

"According to the order!"

Wu Qi turned around and immediately sent someone to do the job.

On the tower, Fan Li's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw that the Qin army was retreating!

"Deng Zong! Hurry up and invite the king here, the Qin army is retreating now!"

Hearing this, a military commander immediately turned around and went down the tower, heading for Jinwang Palace.

Not long after, Lu Bu came to the tower and looked at the retreating Qin army, and couldn't help laughing.

"Sir, the lonely king sees that the Qin army's camp is now in a mess. If our army goes out at this time, wouldn't it just be able to kill the Qin army?"

Hearing this, Fan Li pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I only need to keep Luoyang City for now, if I go out like this rashly, if it is a trick of the Qin army to lure the enemy, wouldn't I be in danger?"

After Lu Bu heard this, the burning fighting spirit in his eyes gradually cooled down.

"Okay, be more cautious. The Qin army retreated earlier than the agreed time, and I didn't deliver food and grass to the Qin army, so they retreated. It seems that the rescuers from other princes have already arrived on the road. .”

"I'm afraid that's exactly the case!" Fan Li nodded, then turned to look at the rest of the people: "Send more people these days, pay attention to the movement outside the city, and if reinforcements arrive, they will contact us as soon as possible. Don't be reckless, and collide with the army of the ancient vassal states."

"Don't worry, my lord, we won't be that kind of reckless people!" Zishou came from one side, his height was about the same as that of Lu Bu, also more than ten feet tall, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Bu on the tower at the moment, like a Two giants alike.

"Zi Shou! You've been tired these days." Lu Bu looked at Zi Shou approvingly.

Zi Shou said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be no mistakes on the tower."

Let's say that Qin Jun had just left on his front foot. At night, Zishou stood on the tower and looked outside, and he really saw a moving figure.

"Is this Qin Jun or the rescuer?"

"People from the Jin Kingdom on the tower, we are the vanguard troops under General Zhao's General Chen Qingzhi, and we are here to contact you. This is my general's letter, just wait and see!"

A woman's voice sounded, and Zi Shou immediately felt that it was the sound of nature.

Not long after, a female general came up, raising one hand high, holding a letter.

"Open the city gate! Go out and bring the messenger in." Zi Shou said loudly.

Hearing this, the soldiers around him were about to go down to open the city gate, but they were suddenly blocked by a man, it was Deng Zong.

Deng Zong said maliciously: "Zi Shou, I think you have taken a fancy to that female warrior. Didn't you see that there are thousands of cavalry behind that female warrior?"

Zishou was said by Deng Zong, it just hit the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't admit it, he just said forcefully: "The king said before he led away, don't neglect the troops of the princes who came to rescue, I am strictly implementing this now. Your Majesty's order is yours, Deng Zong, do you want to resist the order?"

Deng Zong was taken aback by being questioned by these words. Resisting the edict and disrespecting it is a capital crime.

"Don't talk nonsense, the loyalty to the king can be learned from the sun and the moon, but you can actually slander it!"

Downstairs, Mu Guiying saw a one-foot-tall general and the generals beside her talking about these things, thinking that the people on the tower doubted her identity, so she said loudly: "I will come alone, you wait You can put down the basket and hang me up to check the letter, and then you can verify your identity!"

"Did you hear that?" Deng Zong pointed to Mu Guiying who was under the city tower, and said, "People tell you to go there without worry, and to open the city gate rashly, is there a risk in itself?"

When Zishou heard this, he realized that he had been a little abrupt before, so he bowed his hands to Deng Zonggong, and then called to the left and right sergeants to fetch baskets and ropes.

"That general, please come forward, the basket will be put down now." Zi Shou roared, and his voice echoed throughout the sky and the ground.

Cheng Tang and the others suddenly changed their colors, and Mu Guiying said in amazement: "There is such a person in Luoyang City? It is really unexpected."

Mu Guiying immediately drove the horse forward, took off her helmet, and hung it on the saddle.

As soon as Zishou saw Mu Guiying's appearance, he fell in love with him even more, and felt that the blood in his body was flowing faster.

"This is such a good woman!" Zi Shou said in a low voice, and then he pulled the basket himself and put it down carefully.

"General! Sit still, Zishou of a certain family, I will pull you up here." Zishou was quite courteous, and shouted enthusiastically.

Hearing this, Mu Guiying turned over and got into the basket, separated her feet, stood firmly inside, and said loudly: "Pull!"
