Everyone thought he was dying

The battle was urgent, and Ye Yunze and Ji Chen didn't have much time to say goodbye.Early the next morning, Ji Chen led the emperor's orders and left the capital with his personal guards and the shadow guards given by Ye Yunze.

Standing on the top of the city wall, Ye Yunze watched the team lead the team away, not knowing what it was like.

In the past, he had sent Ji Chen off on this wall countless times, and every time, he told himself that this was the last time, and he didn't want to see Ji Chen's back in the future.Unfortunately, every time, he failed to fulfill the vow he silently made.

"Your Majesty, General Ji has already left, let's go back." Xiao Xizi followed behind Ye Yunze, and seeing Ye Yunze's preoccupied look, he couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Ji has never been defeated since he went out in battle. It's his former defeated general. Once General Ji leaves, he will be able to rule the Yi people into obedience. Maybe, before the battle is fought, the Yi people will feel weak when they hear the name of the general. It's over!"

Although these words were used to comfort Ye Yunze, Xiao Xizi inexplicably gained a bit of confidence while talking.

General Ji used his troops like a god, and he has never disappointed anyone in war.Even if Da Qi has just experienced such a disastrous defeat, as long as General Ji is around, the hearts of the people will not be disturbed.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong..." Ye Yunze clutched the lapel of his chest, and murmured, "Since the moment Ah Chen left, I have been restless in my heart, and now I am even more restless. of……"

Xiao Xizi shook her head, but didn't take Ye Yunze's words to heart.He was also used to the restless Ye Yunze.

No matter how capable Ji Chen is, as soon as he steps onto the battlefield, Ye Yunze who is waiting behind will eventually be unable to restrain himself from worrying about his safety.I'm afraid, this is what people call, caring makes chaos.

……

In order to solve the danger at the border and at the same time prevent the Yi people from finding out his route, Ji Chen did not take the official route, but took a shortcut.

Most of those roads were discovered when they conquered the world.It is concealed and the distance is short, which is perfect for long-distance raids.

Ji Chen originally thought that the battle between himself and the Yi people would start when the large troops arrived at the border. Unexpectedly, on the third day of departure, when he passed a small forest, he and the troops he brought were attacked.Fortunately, Ji Chen was used to being vigilant all the time, and his martial arts were much higher than those people, so he didn't let them succeed.

After catching several attackers, Ji Chen discovered that it was not Yi people who attacked him, but Daqi people.

The moment those people fell into the enemy's hands, they all chose to commit suicide. The speed was so fast that Ji Chen's people did not stop them.

"These people, I'm afraid they are dead soldiers supported by some powerful people." Ji Chen sighed, "I just don't know who wants my life at this juncture."

The Yi people are different from the vassal states. They are brave and warlike, and they are also known as the whole people are soldiers. The threat to Daqi is obvious to all.That's why Ye Yunze and Ji Chen worked so hard before to beat the Yi people so hard that they were afraid, so that the Yi people didn't dare to offend easily.

I don't know who helped the Yi people in just a few years, and made a comeback again.In Ji Chen's view, at least on the issue of the Yi people, his position should be consistent with those ministers in the court.Even if someone wanted to attack him, shouldn't it be after he drove the Yi people out of Daqi again?

If Ji Chen himself was just puzzled, those who had been following him were completely angry.

In order to protect those people in the imperial court, they rushed to the front line to shed blood and tears, but someone wanted them to die?

"General, if you let me know who did this, I will definitely not spare him!"

"Every one of you, hold on to me. I always feel that there is something unusual about this matter. Those who failed to keep them together were sent here on purpose to disturb the morale of our army!" Ji Chen's stern eyes were on Scanning around, the people he saw lowered their heads one after another, and their brains, which were swollen with anger, instantly woke up as if someone had poured a basin of snow water on them.

"As you said, we are now working for those people in the court. If we can't resist the iron cavalry of the Yi people, they will suffer. If this is the case, why did they choose to attack us at this time? Think about it!"

"But, general... those people, if they weren't sent by the officials of the court, could it be... they were sent by the Yi people?"

Another person took up the conversation: "I'm afraid the Yi people don't have such a great ability. However, judging by the appearance of these people, they don't look like people from sects. Could it be that they are the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they want to take advantage of the general's expedition and want to take advantage of the opportunity?" The general makes a move?"

"Okay, it's useless to guess more, and if you go forward, you may be able to get the answer."

I don't know if the other party is suspicious or what, Ji Chen and his party did not encounter any ambushes during the next journey, and arrived at the border town smoothly.

The city that originally belonged to Daqi has now become a place for the Yi people to have fun.

After Qiao Zhuang's revision, the spy who came to spy on the news passed by several tall and burly Yi people.

"The women in Daqi are different from the women in our clan. They are all delicate and can pinch water. Daqi's men are really lucky!"

"Your blessing is pretty good too, didn't you sleep in two yesterday! Hahaha!"

"This place is also good. It's much better than our previous homeless place, and the items are complete. If you want anything, you can grab it directly!"

The three of them talked, showing tacit smiles to each other.

The person walking beside them frowned, showing some disdain on their ordinary faces.

What surprised Seisaku was that on that extremely ordinary face, there were actually a pair of fierce and sharp eyes like a falcon, which seemed extremely incompatible with this dull face.

This person must not be an ordinary person, think carefully.Judging from the facial features of this person, he does not look like a member of the Yi tribe, but rather a member of Daqi.

However, if Daqi has such a number one person, he shouldn't be unknown.I don't know who this person is, and how he hooked up with the Yi people.

The careful guess was soon confirmed, and I saw that when the three domineering Yi people faced the ordinary Daqi man, their expressions were extremely respectful: "Sir, tell me, in the future we will be together How about settling down here?"

"This is just a small border city, not to mention the capital city, even ordinary prefectures and county towns, are you satisfied?" The man snorted coldly: "If your ambition only stops here, or Go back to your hometown as soon as possible, lest when the Daqi army arrives, you will be chased away like bereaved dogs."

As soon as the words fell, two of the three Yi people looked wrong, and their eyes became fierce when they looked at that person. Fortunately, the Yi people who could be in charge stopped them quickly, and there was no one on both sides. fight.

"Mr. is right. We are short-sighted. We don't know much about Daqi. Fortunately, Mr. reminded us that we were able to plan a great cause." .

The ordinary-looking man from Daqi snorted coldly, didn't speak any more, turned sideways suddenly, raised a whip, and whipped towards Xizuo.

Seisaku shivered in fright, and fell to the ground, a panic that had not yet faded from his extremely honest face.

The guard between the man's brows disappeared.

Seeing that the man didn't make any follow-up actions, the leading Yi tribe stepped forward instead, looking down at Xi Zuo condescendingly: "How dare a Qi dog be disrespectful in front of Mr. Today, I will take your dog here Life!"

"Okay, don't cause trouble here. Ji Chen's people should be here soon, get ready to fight."

Hearing Ji Chen's name, the three Yi people were quite afraid: "My department once confronted Ji Chen. This Ji Chen is full of tricks and is extremely difficult to deal with. May I ask how much you know about Ji Chen?"

"Ji Chen? It's just Ye Yunze and a loyal dog..." Several people were talking, and gradually moved away.

When they were gone, Xizuo immediately got up from the ground with a serious expression.That person obviously knew General Ji, I'm afraid, this battle is really not as simple as imagined.

It was midnight, and the Yi people guarding the city were waiting in formation, when suddenly a very bright fire appeared in the southeast.

The general of the Yi tribe defending the city wiped his eyes vigorously, and finally exclaimed after realizing that it was not his own illusion——

Enemies are coming, and the granary is on fire!

"Come on, hurry up and put out the fire! Those Qi soldiers who are close to the granary will be killed without mercy!"

The Yi people fought long distances, so naturally they valued the supply of food and grass very much. Once the food and grass were cut off, they would either retreat or be trapped to death in Daqi.Therefore, the guard also sent many people to protect the grain and grass.

He never imagined that under such circumstances, Qi Jun would be able to succeed!The most important thing is that from the time when the Qi army sneaked into the city to the time when the fire started, he didn't receive any news!How much did Qi Jun have to be able to do this? ! ! !

"The fire is too big, the food can't be rescued, and the whole granary has been burned..." The words of the subordinates made the guard of the Yi tribe feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. No matter what, he couldn't escape the prince's punishment. He shuddered when he thought of the methods the eldest prince used to deal with the losers.

At this moment, his hatred for the Qi army reached a new height: "I will smash all the Qi troops who broke into the city to pieces!"

"Report—General, there is no trace of the Qi army around. Those who burned our food and grass, yes, yes, it was the Daqi people around!"

"What?!!!" The guard's eyes widened angrily, never expecting that the answer he got would be like this.The ants he has always looked down upon actually ruined his overall situation?If only when we first conquered this city, we would have killed all the people of Qi without listening to the words of the Great Qi people!

Being able to be sent by the eldest prince to be a vanguard and a city defender, his responsiveness is not bad.Soon, he realized a more serious problem——

"No, the cunning Qi Jun is playing tricks! He deliberately brought us here!"

Outside the city gate, Ji Chen was leading his soldiers on horseback, heading straight for the place where the Bai Zhan army was trapped.

From the beginning, he didn't intend to take back the captured cities first, but planned to rescue the trapped army first, regain momentum, and then take back the border cities in one fell swoop.

To put it bluntly, the city can be turned around and seized at any time, but the [-] army led by Bai Zhan is decreasing every day.

Ji Chen didn't want to see these soldiers who had fought side by side with him, as well as the future generals he was optimistic about, just fall away.

However, when he led his people to the vicinity of the pass where Bai Zhan was trapped, he found something was wrong.

"Stop! There is an ambush ahead! Archers, get ready!"

But at this moment, Ji Chen heard a voice that was very familiar to him——

"You're playing well, Ji Chen."

"It's a pity, since I know you're back, how can I let you succeed so easily?"
