Competing

Chapter 360 Meeting in a narrow road

The plan to raid the North Gate failed miserably, losing 7000 people, which was a huge blow to the Minyue Army.The wounded soldiers in the entire barracks kept wailing, their morale was low, and Wu Zhu himself was also downcast.As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes never come singly. It really was a leaky house and it rained overnight. In the early morning of the next day, Wu Zhu received an extremely shocking news.

The hometown of Minzhong County was attacked, and what was even more surprising was that the person who did it was actually Zhao Tuo of Nanyue. Wu Zhu never expected that this dear friend would suddenly go north.Now he has no other choice, the battle of Fanyi has failed, and capturing the city is already an extravagant hope.If the old place is lost again, the consequences will be disastrous.

After staying under the city of Fanyi for another day, before dawn, the Minyue army left an empty camp and quietly withdrew.Although there are still more than 2 troops, they are eager to return home and have no intention of fighting at all. It will be a big trouble for the defenders of Fanyi to chase after them.

At noon, there was still no big movement in the Minyue camp. Although there were patrols in Chaoyang, there was still smoke rising from the kitchen.But Su Jiao still noticed something strange, and after sending out spies to investigate, he found that the camp had already been empty, and it was unknown when the Minyue Army had withdrawn.Su Jiao didn't know about the changes in Minzhong County, and thought that Wuzhu retreated after the defeat.

No matter what the purpose was, Minyue finally withdrew its troops, and Fanyi City was safely defended. It gave a satisfactory explanation to the king of Yue and more than [-] people.At the same time, he was lucky enough to find Mrs. Yu, and he thought King Laiyue would be happy when he got the news.Su Jiao immediately wrote the report, reported the victory to the king of Yue, and told him the good news about Li Yuniang.However, the exact location of the King of Yue is still uncertain, and it will take several days for the fast horse report.

Some people also suggested that Su Jiao send troops to hunt down and kill the Fujian-Vietnamese army, but Wu Zhu shook his head and vetoed it.Even if the opponent fails in the first battle, Wu Zhu still has more than 2 troops under his command.And after his subordinates have experienced the arduous battle of defending the city, the remaining regular army will be tens of thousands.In order to ensure the safety of the city, only part of the troops can be allocated, and the effect of chasing and killing is very limited.And I don't know why the Minyue people withdrew their troops. If so, don't rush to kill them, it's still a bit inappropriate.

Of course, this does not mean that the Minyue people can retreat safely.Su Jiao clearly remembered that the news Minyue sent before would be incomparable with him, and the time was right now.If the two armies meet, he believes that the main force of the Yue army under King Yue will definitely deal Wuzhu the heaviest blow.

……

In the mountains of Nanhuiji County, Yue Wang Yinxu was also quite surprised and a little shocked.He also had a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao before, but it took a long time before and after, and he was worried that Su Jiao would not be able to withstand the pressure and had to give up.But never expected that Zhao Tuo turned his idea into reality.

This is due to Yin Xu's spies in Fujian and Yue's old place, who sent them over as soon as they received the news. In contrast, Wu Zhu himself may have received the news earlier than Wu Zhu himself.At this moment, the importance of intelligence is once again reflected.Yin Xu didn't know Zhao Tuo's purpose for going north, at least from now on, we must pay attention to this pivotal force.Now I can't control so much. For the present plan, we have to solve Wu Zhu and Si Yao as the top priority.

Zhao Tuo took advantage of the fire to fight, and it was also a favor for himself.Presumably Wu Zhu will get the news later that his hometown is lost, and it is impossible to fight outside for a long time.Although he didn't know the specific situation of the battle in Panyi, Yin Xu was confident that Su Jiao could hold on.And according to the current situation, it is inevitable for Wuzhu to withdraw after getting the news.So now you only need to wait for work halfway, and wait for the burning of nothing.

So Yin Xu listened to his favorite footsteps, and led an army of more than 2 troops to ambush on the road with Pu Jun, waiting quietly for the Minyue people to return.At the same time, the relationship between Yin Xu and Luluo has also improved a lot. Luluo has gradually accepted Yin Xu and the arrangement of heaven.They are more intimate with each other and have a better understanding of each other.

But a letter from Feige from Oujiang forced them to temporarily separate.After experiments, pigeons have successfully passed letters between Shanyin, Oujiang, and Yuewang Daying. The pigeons in Fanyi have not yet been delivered, so they cannot enjoy such convenience for the time being.There was news from Zhou Da that there were some problems in the construction of the camp and fortress there, and he hoped to get Lu Luo's personal guidance.It would be fine to simply deal with Dongou, but now that Nanyue Zhao Tuo is suddenly involved, it is still necessary to set up a line of defense on the Oujiang River.

So Yin Xu could only reluctantly let Luluo go to Oujiang to help Zhou Da quickly build the camp.

"Luluo, I can only trouble you once, thank you for your hard work!" The two men at the camp were whispering goodbye.

Luluo shook her head and said, "It's okay, Brother Donglai, it's nothing if I go, I'll wait for your good news in Oujiang River!"

Yin Xu smiled and said: "I really can't bear to let your daughter's family go to the front line, so I will comfort you when I go back!"

Luluo glanced at him. These days, her feelings are getting stronger and stronger, and she has a tacit understanding with each other. She can already guess what Yin Xu is playing with his brain.

"Okay, you wait for my good news at the Oujiang River! I will send a thousand soldiers to escort you there, and you have to take care of yourself there!"

"Don't worry, don't forget that I grew up in the mountains before!"

"Well, remember, you still owe me a kiss. When I wipe out Wu Zhu and Si Yao, you have to pay me back the capital with interest!"

Luluo's ears turned red immediately, she was very shy, she didn't speak, it should be regarded as acquiescing!

In the presence of thousands of soldiers, he couldn't be reluctant to leave for too long, and then a thousand elite soldiers escorted Luluo to the Oujiang River.Their route of action is mainly on the land of Yue State, so there is not much danger in terms of safety.These thousand soldiers clearly saw how the King of Yue treated Luluo, and they were absolutely respectful and respectful to the future Princess of Yue.

After sending Luluo away, Yin Xu concentrated on mobilizing the army to ambush Minyue Wuzhu who came back to help.On this day, the most elite scout army of the Yue State reported back and found the traces of the Fujian and Yue Army, and was hurriedly returning to the hometown of Fujian and Yue.After Yin Xu heard the report, he showed a cruel smile, and then called Pu Jun and Su An to make specific arrangements.

……

Wu Zhu was very worried after receiving the attack on Minzhong by Zhao Tuo from South Vietnam.Before getting the exact news, try hard to control the news within a certain range.For fear of spreading rumors, it would be bad for the soldiers to panic too much.It's just handled according to the usual withdrawal, but the speed of the withdrawal seems to be a bit fast... Many people still notice the strangeness.

Wu Zhu didn't have time to worry so much, he had to rush back to Minzhong as soon as possible to be at ease, so apart from the necessary rest, he traveled non-stop during the starry night.Along the way, apart from worrying about the state of Minzhong, what Wu Zhu was most worried about was the main force of Yue Wang Yinxu and its exact location.

What he is most worried about now is that after Yin Xu gets the news, he will intercept him halfway, or take advantage of the fire to rob and chase after him.Originally, he was full of confidence in sending troops to the Yue Kingdom this time, but because of the fire at the gate of Fanyi and the accident of Zhao Tuo's sudden dispatch of troops, it completely failed.It can be said that if you steal chickens, you won't lose money.It's just a few days, and the feeling is completely different.

Now Wu Zhu realized that it was a mistake to send troops this time, and it was really unwise to start a war with Yin Xu.It can be predicted that Si Yao will not take advantage of anything, if Yin Xu devotes all his efforts to Panyi, Si Yao will die worse than himself.Maybe I should inform him, maybe I should let him help me hold back Yin Xu's army... Even if I wanted to warn him, it's too late now, just let fate!

For the safety of the road ahead, Wu Zhu specially sent an elite team to explore the road.However, the return journey of the Minyue Army was too fast, and the entire road was surrounded by mountains, so it was impossible to detect clearly in a short time.This omission seems inevitable, and sometimes the consequences of the slightest omission are unimaginable.

Three days later, Wu Zhu's army entered a section of mountains and marched in valleys all day long.The more it is such a terrain, the more worried Wu Zhu is, but if he takes a detour to take other flat roads, it will take a lot of time. For Wu Zhu who is eager to return, it is obvious that he can only "take risks".It's a pity that the spies sent couldn't find out the news of Yin Xu's main force in time, and as for the scouting of the army on the way, they didn't get much.I could only pay attention silently, but fortunately everything was safe and sound for half a day, and the terrain in front of me was wide open, so Wu Zhu gradually felt relieved.

But at noon, when we walked to the open land between the two valleys, the most worrying thing still happened.Wuzhu knocked over, and on the open field opposite, a huge army stood proudly.In the lead are thousands of horses guarding a young man in white robe and armor.

Everyone can't help but show horror, especially when they see the big flag with Yue characters hanging high, the king of Yue Yin Xu really came.What surprised him even more was that the opponent's army was well-groomed and had high morale, while he had just encountered a newly defeated army with low morale. If he really took action, he would not be able to take advantage of it.Wu Zhu suddenly felt that he had lost a lot this time, and couldn't help frowning deeply.

"Brother Wu Zhu, don't you come here unharmed? Yin Xu has been waiting here for a long time!" Yin Xu also knew Wu Zhu when he fought against Qin.These days, I have already observed the Minyue Army. Seeing its low morale, I guess it didn't get any good in Panyi.After all, Su Jiao can be regarded as a famous general, and he looks good on himself!
Facing Yin Xu's arrogance and awe-inspiring smile, he was quite ashamed.Said: "I don't know what the king of Yue has to teach?"

"Teach me?" Yin Xu sneered: "I dare not take the advice. I received the news that there was an extra bandit in my Fanyi. Su Jiao was defeated by my love and escaped along this road. I came here specially to intercept it." , Why did Brother Wu appear here? Don’t worry, let me guess! Could it be, could it be that the bastard with no eyes is Brother Wu?”
