Chapter 315 Zhang Ji arrives, Jin Yao is separated

In Yanshi City, when a cavalry army with a strength of 3,000 people and a banner of "Yulin" appeared near Yanshi City with billowing smoke and dust, the Yanshi County Magistrate and Yanshi County Lieutenant finally relaxed.

One breath.

Of course, while he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a few malicious glances.

The source of these glances was the county magistrates, county lieutenants and county magistrates of Wucheng and Bancheng, as well as the soldiers around them.

Although they had already explained to the Yanshi County Lieutenant the purpose and process of their coming to Yanshi City, the Yanshi County Lieutenant was reluctant to be gullible out of caution and just let them station outside the city. The city gate did not dare to be opened at all.

Even the grain and grass were hung bit by bit from the top of the city.

And as they went to explore Wucheng yesterday, the defenders of Bancheng were asked to come here based on the report of the snare spy, and brought the news that Yu Linqi had arrived in Yanshi City today, the Yanshi County Magistrate, the County Lieutenant and the County Magistrate.

Then he went down to the city in person and invited all the people and the garrison under his command into the city.

Although it is for the safety of Yanshi City, it is not incomprehensible that they are not allowed to enter the city out of caution, but anyone who has marched for several days to help defend the city is suspected, and even eats the wind and sand outside for several days.

Neither will be happy.

Of course, the people of Qin are simple and elegant, but they will definitely not be able to escape after a few drinks after the war.

Not long after, as the "Yulin" banner finally came to the city, Zhang Ji and his party kept on their way with one person and three horses, and finally arrived at Yanshi City before the Wei army arrived.

Looking at the county magistrate and others who came down to greet them, Zhang Ji frowned slightly.

He came from the west, so he naturally entered through the west gate.

However, he discovered that the west gate was still the original old wooden gate, which had not been replaced with an iron sheet, and the bricks and stones on the city wall were only less than half completed.

If it were true history, this amount of time would be enough to rebuild the city gate. However, with the blessing of this world's strange technology tree and the help of the institutions brought by the Mohist masters, even if this amount of time is enough to build a new city,

Not enough, but definitely enough to renovate and rebuild an original city.

Zhang Ji pointed to the west gate and asked the county magistrate: "Today is the ninth day. With the help of the Mohist family, why has the reconstruction not been completed yet?"

The county magistrate of Yan broke into a cold sweat immediately. He heard the dissatisfaction in the words of the young Qin King's favorite and looked at the county captain.

The county lieutenant, who noticed the county magistrate's gaze, stood up and took the initiative to explain the reason.

Previously, the defenders of Wucheng and Bancheng were stationed outside the city because they were not confident about these two troops. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for them to trust the ink craftsmen and the young men to go out to build the city, let alone in front of them.

The original city walls and gates were demolished.

After hearing the county captain's explanation, Zhang Ji was also speechless.

But Yanshi County Lieutenant was also cautious, and he really couldn't blame anyone.

"Please rest assured, Guardsman, the renovation will definitely be completed by evening at the latest."

Hearing the county magistrate's assurance, Zhang Ji nodded and did not pursue anything further. He just ordered three thousand Yu Linqi to rest outside the city. The Yan County Magistrate also prepared camps for the army in advance.

Traveling for days made all the Yulin riders feel tired, and the horses also needed to rest. After eating the meals sent by the Yanshi County Magistrate, almost everyone fell asleep and then woke up to have dinner.

, and then continued to sleep soundly to recharge his energy for the next battle.

But compared to Yu Linqi who was fast asleep, some people couldn't fall asleep at all.

Yucheng County Government Office

Jin Yao's face turned blue and white as he read a letter from one of Jin Bi's old men in the right vanguard Zhang Er's army.

"There was no one at the top of the city wall. The Qin army fled without fighting. No one in the right vanguard was injured or killed."

This content of less than thirty words made Jin Yao so angry that he smashed a table.

There was no garrison in the city, and he didn't believe it. The three thousand retainers claimed to know everything. They even placed spies in King Zhao's palace. Wei Wuji, who knew that King Zhao arrived at the border with his troops and horses was hunting rather than violating the border, actually

Didn’t you know there were no defenders in Sakajo?

Jin Yao took a deep breath. He originally thought that Wei Wuji would give him the military exploits of the small city of Yucheng in order to temporarily reconcile with him, but he did not expect that Wei Wuji would arrange for his henchmen to attack a city without defenders.

What about himself?

Although Yucheng is also a small town, the defenders are extremely brave.

Moreover, the county magistrate of Yucheng actually ordered the four city gates to be sealed with earth and stones to show his intention to fight to the death. He even personally held a knife to fight at the top of the city. Even his wife and children at home also went to the top of the city.

The 1,700 Qin troops and 2,000 young men were able to resist his 20,000 vanguard army for five days!

Twenty thousand Wei troops suffered 2,700 casualties, close to 3,000 casualties!

As a result, the Wei army had to stay in Yucheng to rest for two days.

Moreover, before the city was destroyed, the Yucheng County Magistrate sent people to burn down the treasury and the county government office, leaving no money or food for the Wei army. Even the personnel roster was handed over to the spies in the city in advance before the Wei army arrived.

Sent out before.

After the city was defeated, Jin Yao learned from a local powerful man that the father of this Yucheng County magistrate had died on the battlefield outside the river a few years ago.

In that battle, it was the allied forces led by Lord Xinling that attacked Qin.

Therefore, the Yucheng County Magistrate hated the Wei army so much that even if he had a chance to escape, he sealed the gate that was not surrounded by enemy troops, cut off his own way of escape, and led his troops to fight to the death.

Wei Jun admires such a loyal and brave person, even if he is an enemy.

Therefore, after the city was destroyed, Jin Yao did not harm the family of the magistrate of Yucheng. He also cleaned the corpse of the magistrate of Yucheng and buried him in the western suburbs of the city. Yesterday, Jin Yao even sang a memorial for him in person, and

He was buried with his coffin in hand to show respect.

Everyone believed that Jin Yao was trying to win over the people of Yucheng.

Jin Yao did not deny that he had such thoughts, but his more reason was because he saw the Yucheng County magistrate who refused to retreat for his father who died in the hands of the Wei army, and thought of him.

At this time, another military order from Wei Wuji once again stimulated Jin Yao.

Wei Wuji first pointed out that he had suffered nearly 3,000 casualties because of a small Yu City, and then ordered him to attack Yanshi City and meet at Anyi after the city was broken.

At the same time, Jin Bi's old troops who stayed in the Chinese army sent a message saying that Wei Wuji's Chinese army was already advancing north.

"You asked me to attack the remote Yanshi City, but I plan to lead my army to help them capture Anyi after my own henchmen captured Wucheng?"

"I'm afraid that by the time I arrive, Anyi will have already been destroyed."

Jin Yao sneered, his eyes growing colder: "Jun Xinling, you are really good at planning."

"Mr.

"what to do?"

Jin Yao remained silent, clenched his fists, and stared at him with gloomy eyes after hearing the deputy general's question.

"What can I do! Do I have to disobey the military order and then be beaten to death in the tent by Wei Wuji and his armored men?"

Jin Yao roared, and all the generals knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Jin Yao who was in a furious state at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Yao suppressed the anger in his heart.

These people are all Jin Bi's old subordinates, most of them are his uncles, and they really do their best for him, and he also knows that he shouldn't vent his anger on them.

After calming down for a moment, Jin Yao said calmly: "Gather the army tomorrow and march into Yanshi City!"

"Follow military orders!"

Looking at the empty tent after all the generals had retreated, the strong wind blowing from outside the tent blew out the candle beside him.

The extinguished candle is like his heart.

He was angry because he really didn't know what to do!

The hatred for killing my father is inherently sworn, but now...

Not only was there no hope of revenge, but Lord Xinling was targeting him to attack Yu City where everyone was fighting to the death. Let alone revenge, he might be executed by Lord Xinling for unknown reasons in a few years, let alone revenge.

But he really doesn't know what to do!

Are you going to commit treason?
