Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 177
In Anfeng City.

Ji Ling led an army of [-] troops and stationed in Anfeng City. Today, Anfeng City has no officials.

Before his arrival, Anfeng City was one of the few cities that were washed by the Jingzhou Army led by Huang Zhong. The officials in the city either ran away or died in battle, and the warehouses were also emptied.

Afterwards, he led the army to arrive, and the Jingzhou army retreated all the way, but the materials from the looted cities could not be recovered at all. The most important thing is that the Jingzhou army did not intend to fight him at all. Once encountered, he retreated, as if he was just here to clean up.

Although he was angry, there was nothing he could do. After all, the Jingzhou army had no intention of fighting at all, and he could not retreat. Once he retreated, the Jingzhou army would come back and continue to cleanse the cities.

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the front, hung a map, a map of the Central Plains.

Ji Ling was fully clothed, with her sword in her hand, standing in front of the map, her eyes fixed on the map, her brows furrowed, as if she wanted to see something in it.

He also knew in his heart that the Jingzhou army would not retreat too far. He was in Anfeng now, so the Jingzhou army must have set up camp near Anfeng, but he didn't know where it was.

There are a lot of things to consider now. After all, there are many princes coming to attack Yuan Shu. Although they have been chasing the Jingzhou army led by Huang Zhong, they are still paying attention to the situation. Liu Qi and Lu Bu joined forces to take down Runan City. He was also able to know, and he also knew about the fact that various princes sent troops into Yuzhou, and about Yuan Shu leading troops to Jiangdong Sun Ce, and the stalemate in Hefei.

It is obviously very difficult to break through such a predicament, but as the number one general under Yuan Shu's command, he will not back down, as long as he can deal with the Jingzhou army led by Huang Zhong, and then support the past, and find a breakthrough from one of them , this dilemma will be resolved.

On the surface, the princes responded to the edict and crusade against Yuan Shu, which was nothing more than taking advantage of the righteousness, but they would not join together to attack sincerely. Once the strength of the princes from all walks of life was damaged, such a union would fall apart.

Therefore, it depends on who can persist until the end.

"General!"

At this time, a soldier came in from outside the hall, came behind Ji Ling, and knelt down.

Ji Ling also returned to the thoughts in his mind, put his hand on the saber, turned around, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Go back to the general, and found the place where the Jingzhou army camped!" The soldiers answered with hands clasped.

heard.

Ji Ling's eyes flashed, and he said, "Where is it?"

He knew that after Liu Qi captured Runan City, he had already left Runan and rushed over here. If Liu Qi joined the Jingzhou army here, he would never have the chance to defeat the Jingzhou army here.

Therefore, before Liu Qi led the army, he had to stop the Jingzhou army here and fight to the death. He also sent all the scouts to find out where the Jingzhou army was.

"In a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides ten miles away from Anfeng!" the soldier said quickly.

"really?"

Ji Ling was a little stunned. The terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides was not suitable for camping at all. If there were soldiers and horses blocking the entrance of the valley, then
"This subordinate dare not lie to the general. This is what this subordinate saw with his own eyes. There are five other people watching secretly. There are at least [-] soldiers in the camp. There are no guards left at the entrance of the valley, and they all stay in the valley!" The general explained.

Wait for the general to finish speaking.

Ji Ling also fell silent, pressing his left hand on the saber, his thumb kept rubbing against the hilt of the sword, did not speak, and was thinking about the matter.

Chasing all the way, he also knows that once he leads the army to stop, the Jingzhou army will also stop. If he has the idea of ​​returning to Shouchun, the Jingzhou army will come back again, and the Jingzhou army will never be too far away from the army he leads , This is also the reason why he sent a spy report to investigate the Jingzhou army camping there.

But he never imagined that the Jingzhou army would set up camp in such a place, which was completely beyond his expectation. He didn't know whether the Jingzhou army was fearless or what.

"General!"

The kneeling soldier, seeing that Ji Ling hadn't spoken for a long time, let out a soft cry.

Ji Ling also came to his senses, waved his hands and said, "Let all the generals come to listen to the order!"

"promise!"

As soon as the soldiers cupped their hands, they stood up and walked out of the hall.

Ji Ling's eyes flashed brightly, and then turned into firm eyes. Although he couldn't figure out what it was, this was also a rare opportunity to get rid of the Jingzhou Army.

As long as this group of Jingzhou troops are removed, even if Liu Qi comes, nothing will change, and it will increase their chances of winning. No one will say anything.

From time to time
More than a dozen generals came in from outside the hall. They were all generals under Ji Ling's command, and they were also Ji Ling's confidantes. When they heard the message from the soldier, they put down what they were doing and rushed over without hesitation.

A group of generals entered the hall.

Ji Ling also sat on the main seat, looked at the generals, and slowly talked about his plan.

Everyone stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time before they walked out of the hall one by one.

The eyes of all the generals were shining with joy, because what Ji Ling told them made them feel very excited. It is a great achievement to know that such a thing can be successful.

Even if the big head is on Ji Ling's body, they can still have a sip of soup.

Wait for the generals to go out.

Ji Ling also stood up, put his hand on his saber, turned around, and continued to look at the map, frowning tightly, his eyes flickering, because he knew that this battle was either won or lost.

If you win, you can find a way out of the current predicament; if you lose, everything will be wiped out.

Although the Jingzhou army does not occupy the city, if he is defeated in this battle, no one can stop the Jingzhou army. The Jingzhou army can go straight to Shouchun, or cut off Yuan Shu's retreat, and attack Yuan Shu's army with Jiangdong Sun Ce back and forth. soldiers and horses.

At that moment, everything is just a passing moment.

Time passed little by little.

The [-] troops stationed in Anfeng City, also led by Ji Ling, slowly moved towards the city gate, left Anfeng City, and went to the distance.

Ji Ling didn't leave any defenders to guard Anfeng City, because there was no such need at all. Now Yuan Shu's territory, soldiers and horses have basically been mobilized to resist all kinds of soldiers and horses. There are no defenders in many cities.

If you win, everything will come back; if you lose, it doesn't matter if the city has defenders or not.

He also had doubts in his heart, and felt that there was something strange in it, but this was also the only chance, so he wanted to win one time and left everything to God's will.
