Wei Chengxue and his party headed south day and night, crossing Wutuo to Yingzhou ten days later.The people in Yingzhou got the news early, and they scattered in search of a place of refuge. Most of the population in Yingdian City, the state capital, has gone.

Looking at the desolate street, Zhu Shunli couldn't help shaking his head frequently: "It is said that Yingdian is the most prosperous city in Ning Province. I didn't expect to see such a scene when I came here for the first time."

Tao Jiusi also sighed, "The rise and fall of the four countries are mostly the sufferings of the people. When the world is unified, we have to rest with the people."

Zhu Tao and the two were busy sighing with emotion, but Wei Chengxue was staring at the city tower in a daze, not knowing what to think, and said after a while: "Zhizhou borders Dongqiyuezhou, no matter where Qi Xiandu transferred the troops from Zhizhou , I think we should all take the initiative to attack Yuezhou this time."

"Since Dong Qi attacked Ning Province, we have been led by Qi Xiandu, and now we have a reason to send troops. We should turn against the enemy." Wei Lingxue looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.There was a layer of snow on his shoulders, and the cold wind blew violently again, but the wind and snow did not damage his demeanor at all, and his posture stood proudly into a mountain, like a god standing upright.

Wei Lingxue's approach was correct, and his strategy was correct, but to everyone's surprise, Eastern Qi Yuezhou was extremely difficult to fight.

Wei Chengxue went to battle in person, and it took ten days to knock on the gate of Yuehua, the first small city in Yuezhou.Occupying Yuehua, Wei Lingxue commanded the whole army to go south along a diagonal line in order to get through the north and south and join the king of Chu as soon as possible.But further south is Yuexing, an important military town guarding the north and south fortresses. Li Hui, who was originally in Zhizhou, has personally led 2 people back to defend here.

Li Hui sits in the town, and the morale of the army in the city is stable.

Speaking of Li Hui's patience, it has been a whole month since Wei Chengxue attacked Yuexing, no matter whether he yelled or fought every day, he just refused to fight.

Moreover, Yuexing was no better than Wu Tuo this year, the city walls were tall and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and their equipment was no better than that of Li Hui back then, only some cold weapons, and the cannons seized before were transported to Zhizhou and Danzhou.

"When David went to war at the same time in the north and south, and wanted to encircle and suppress the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the biggest problem with Qi Xiandu's strategy was that the battle line was too long." Wei Lingxue was at a loss for the solid Yuexing, but this did not affect his evaluation of Qi Xiandu Strategy.

"Dong Qi chose to fight in Danzhou and Yingzhou at the same time. Qi Xiandu is too eager for quick success, but this is a good thing for us. Sooner or later, Dong Qi will be at a loss." Zhu Shunli said.

Tao Jiusi nodded. He remembered that in his previous life, Wei Chengxue was like a fierce tiger, and Dong Qi was hard to resist. Unfortunately, he was stuck in the southern battlefield and was unable to come back.

Tao Jiusi said: "Conquering the Southern Zhou Dynasty requires water warfare. Even rivers are rare in Eastern Qi, let alone water troops."

Zhu Shunli said: "However, we will have to face the Southern Zhou Dynasty one day. How to fight on the water is also a difficult problem for us."

Tao Jiusi frowned and thought about it, and replied: "I heard that there used to be a navy in Liang, which was brave and powerful, and no one in the four kingdoms could defeat it. It's a pity that after Liang was destroyed, this navy disappeared."

Zhu Shunli said: "Liangguo was destroyed more than 20 years ago. Even if we can find the old sailors, I'm afraid they are not too young?"

Tao Jiusi said with a smile: "It's only 50 or [-] years old, Lian Po is not old, and he can fight on horseback."

Zhu Shun dreamed about it, and still sighed: "Where can I find it? Why do you want to listen to us when you find someone else?"

At this time, Xue Bao came from afar. He and Xue Hei were transferred from Ningjin to the front line, and they were appointed as the vanguard, responsible for the daily routine attack on Yuexing.

Seeing Xue Bao's return now, everyone knew in their hearts that the siege of the city was unsuccessful again today.

However, Li Hui's method of not being able to stick to it also made Wei Lingxue judge that Dongqi's war against the Southern Zhou Dynasty should be tight, and Li Hui didn't have any firearms in his hand.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Seeing the serious situation in Nanzhou, he actually incited Xihua to fight on the southern front together.

In the past few days, Qi Xiandu has greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Emperor Xihua. Xihua is weak and has been attached to Eastern Qi for decades. He has taken some wrong medicine this time, and wants to follow the Southern Zhou Dynasty to declare war on Eastern Qi.

The stalemate between Zhao Wang's men and Li Hui continued for a few more days, and at the halfway mark of December, the figure Tao Jiusi had been waiting for finally appeared in Yingdian.

The unshaven Xia Kaiyan brought five cannons into the government office. He had lost his former flair and was extremely sloppy, but his eyes were extremely bright. When he saw Tao Jiusi, he excitedly said: "Jiusi, I have researched it!"

Tao Jiusi was overjoyed when he heard that, and quickly took Xia Kaiyan to the suburbs to demonstrate.

While operating, Xia Kaiyan said proudly: "Looking at the Four Kingdoms, I am afraid that there is no second gun genius like me."

Zhu Shunli said: "For a thick-skinned person like you, the Four Kingdoms can't find a second one."

Xia Kaiyan was delighted, and squinted at him, "Brother Zhu, don't be dissatisfied, even if you are locked up with Da Pao for ten years, you may not be able to understand the reason."

Zhu Shunli smiled softly, looked at Xia Kaiyan and shook his head without speaking.

Xia Kaiyan, however, seemed to be inspired by something, immediately called out to his followers, set up the cannon, and lit the line of fire towards the wilderness, only to hear a loud bang, which was even more powerful than Dongqi's cannon.

Xia Kaiyan glanced at Zhu Shunli triumphantly, and asked, "Brother Zhu, what do you think?"

Zhu Shunli nodded seriously, "That's right."

Xia Kaiyan thought to herself, for such a great breakthrough, how do you evaluate it in two words?Just about to have a debate, Zhu Shunli took out a sweat towel and said softly, "Wipe it off, your face is all stained."

Xia Kaiyan was a little dazed, but took it over woodenly, and wiped his face mechanically.

Tao Jiusi walked around the cannon several times, and almost hugged it happily. Wei Lingxue pulled Tao Jiusi over and said sadly, "Little Tao, it's treated better than me." He said he wanted to hug Tao Jiusi's waist.

Tao Jiusi ignored the flirting, pushed Wei Chengxue away, looked at the cannon up and down, and said happily: "Lengxue, we will win Yuexing soon!"

Wei Lingxue sighed secretly, he really wanted to unify the four countries as soon as possible, otherwise Tao Jiusi would be full of fighting, and his position would be more and more suppressed.

Wei Lingxue suffered from Tao Jiusi, but suffered from the Dongqi soldiers in Yuexing City. They were quarreled by the deafening cannons for five days. The south gate and north gate were broken at the same time, and a place in the northwest corner collapsed. wall.

Xue Hei and Xue Bao led the vanguard, rushed into the city, and fought with Li Hui's men and horses for three days, and finally captured Qi Xiandu's general Li Hui alive.

Tao Jiusi fought against Li Hui several times, and he became interested in talents. Seeing that Li Hui was seriously injured, he not only arranged for a military doctor to see him, but also took Wei Chengxue to see him several times in person.

However, this Li Hui is straightforward and strong, loyal to Qi Xiandu, unmoved by Tao Jiusi's overtures, and even refuses to let the doctor in.

Wei Lingxue looked at Li Hui, and suddenly had a plan in mind.

On the second day, before Li Hui woke up, he heard someone whispering at the door.

One person said, "General Xue has quarreled with King Zhao again!"

One person said, "The two generals Xue are both from cottages, so it's normal to not deal with everyone."

One person sighed, "Da Xue and Xiao Xue are the only two generals brought by King Zhao this time. They don't obey orders. From now on..."

"Hush, keep your voice down, don't let the Dongqi people listen!"

The voice in the back is very low, even though Li Hui has good hearing, it is really difficult to distinguish the content.

However, knowing that the commander-in-chief of King Zhao's army was at odds with the general, Li Hui spent the next few days trying to find evidence everywhere. The military doctor who was usually not allowed to enter the house also called him in. .

On this day, the military doctor came late, Li Hui wondered: "Doctor Zhou, why did you come so late today?"

Doctor Zhou looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Li Hui probed, "Did something happen?"

Dr. Zhou shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "I can't say."

"Old Zhou, we've been together for the past few days, and you still don't know who I am? Besides, I'm locked here by you, where else can I go? I just care about my friends." Li Hui quickly pretended to say with all his heart To, "Speak up and see if I can help you."

Doctor Zhou remained silent, lowered his head to remove the bandage for Li Hui, and asked him to move his arm.

Li Hui turned his arm and recovered freely. The hand that he thought was going to be crippled was saved. He also expressed his sincere gratitude to Doctor Zhou in his heart, and he spoke with a lot of emotion, "Old Zhou, Without you, I would be crippled, and here with King Zhao, I only see you as a friend, so tell me what happened today."

Doctor Zhou tidied up his bandages, pursed his lips and remained silent, as if he was having a strong psychological struggle in his heart, after a long time, he finally made up his mind, sat at the foot of Li Hui's bed, and said, "Li Hui, hurry up and run tonight! "

Li Hui was surprised, and said, "How did you run?"

Doctor Zhou sighed, and said: "King Zhao was injured by Xue Bao! I just asked me to see it this morning, and the injury was not serious. I hate that Xue Bao injured Queen Zhao and disappeared without a trace. Looking for him! Didn't you notice that the guards at your gate have also changed from four to two?"

Li Hui turned his head to look, but he saw that there were only two people standing lazily at the door.

"Now everyone is busy looking for Xue Bao, and they don't care about you at all, and your injury is healed now, why don't you run away tonight while taking advantage of the chaos!" Dr. Zhou lowered his voice and said sincerely, "Li Hui, you are a man , If you don’t surrender, you will definitely be killed, you can run away and get to know each other, I really can’t bear to see that scene.”

Li Hui was a little moved, and blurted out: "Old Zhou, you come with me, let's go to Dongqi!"

Doctor Zhou looked at him and shook his head sadly, "My whole family is in Ning Province, what will they do when I leave?"

Li Hui also knew that asking others to run with him was too much to force, so he no longer made this proposal, but swore: "Old Zhou, if I fight King Zhao again in the future, I will definitely not hurt your life."

Doctor Zhou looked at Li Hui and smiled imperceptibly.
