Chapter 88 The Savior

When Fusu rescued Zhang Liang and rushed to Shangjun, Jiujiang City had already fought several battles, and the outcome was still indifferent. At this time, in the Chu army camp outside the city, Xiang Liang was discussing with Fan Zeng how to proceed.

Take the city. "Mr. Fan, it's been half a month, and we still can't break into the city. Now our country is in panic. If we don't capture Jiujiang City, it will definitely cause greater panic." Xiang Liang said.

At that time, he no longer had the calmness of the previous days. That day, he wanted to attract the Qin army and annihilate it. However, after these battles, he also knew that the Qin army's combat power could not be easily defeated, so he could only place his hope on

Get Jiujiang City back soon.

"General, this time I didn't expect that the Qin army would be so tenacious. It was completely different from the enemies we faced before. Moreover, they still occupied the city. If we hadn't won a battle at the beginning, the enemy would not dare to leave the city easily.

, I'm afraid they have already sent people to fight us." Fan Zeng seemed to be at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, Xiang Yu ran in furiously and said loudly: "Uncle, why haven't you attacked the city these days?"

Xiang Liang glanced at this nephew who was very brave but not very resourceful and said: "Now that both sides are about the same strength, we can no longer let our soldiers sacrifice in vain."

"But if we don't attack, the Qin people may have backup, and then we will be in danger from both sides." Xiang Yu said anxiously.

Xiang Liang also felt that Xiang Yu's words were reasonable, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "But the Qin army is more numerous than our army and they are still defending the city. How can we defeat them?"

"My nephew led 5,000 elite troops to fight to the death on the city. I don't believe that our Chu army could not capture Jiujiang City. If Mr. Fan hadn't said that he wanted to persuade Yu Fulong to surrender, I would have led people to capture it." Xiang Yu

He glanced at Fan Zeng with some contempt.

"No, general. A young general cannot put himself in danger. This is not what a coach should do." Fan Zeng seemed not to notice Xiang Yu's contemptuous look and immediately objected.

"As timid as you are, Mr. Fan, how can our Chu army drive the Qin people away from Chu, and how can we restore our old land of Chu?" Xiang Yu asked Fan Zeng loudly with his eyes wide open.

"I..." Fan Zeng was speechless for a moment.

"Yu'er can't be rude to Mr. Fan, he must have deep meaning when he says that." Xiang Liang scolded hurriedly.

Xiang Yu didn't listen to his uncle at all and continued to ask: "What's the deep meaning of that? It's neither advancing nor retreating outside Jiujiang City. Isn't it just to make fun of us? Uncle, don't you know that the soldiers have already

There is quite a lot of criticism about this situation, and if this continues, the morale of the military will be weakened."

In fact, Fan Zeng also knew that doing so would inevitably lower the morale of the Chu army, but he also knew that once he launched a fierce attack on Jiujiang City regardless of the consequences, the losses would be too great, and whether Jiujiang City could be taken down was still uncertain.

. But what Xiang Yu said was true. For a time, he was very resourceful and confused. When Xiang Liang saw Fan Zeng's expression, he knew that he had no way to convince his nephew, and he also knew Xiang Yu's personality. If he couldn't let him

If he was convinced, he wouldn't even take it seriously, so he had to say: "Yu'er, just wait three more days. After three days, we will have a good way to destroy the city."

"Okay, then I will wait for three more days. If the city cannot be breached in three days, I will lead the troops to attack." Xiang Yu said and glared at Fan Zeng again before leaving the camp.

"The general said that in three days, there is really a way to break the city?" Fan Zeng asked with some doubts. He himself had no way to break the city until now.

Xiang Liang smiled bitterly and said: "I, the general, are helpless now, but if we don't appease Xia Yu'er and the soldiers below, I'm afraid we will lose control, and the only ones we lose will be our troops in Da Chu."

Xiang Liang could not enter the city outside the city, and Zhao Changke had a hard time with the day shift in the city. In the past few days, the Chu people stopped attacking the city, but the Qin soldiers could not get out of the city. How could they be peaceful when more than 100,000 people gathered in the city?

, so people were killed every day due to personal grudges, and the people in the city were even more devastated by the atrocities of the Qin soldiers. If this continues, I am afraid that without the Chu army outside the city attacking, the people in the city will rise up to resist.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi's head began to hurt. It's not that he had never issued an order not to allow the Qin soldiers to harass the people, but he only had 40,000 to 50,000 troops of his own, and he could not punish Zhao Changke's troops, so

He came to Zhao Changke specifically today to persuade him to restrain his troops. Unexpectedly, he had not appeared after waiting for almost half an hour. "Zhao Changke relied on the fact that he was Zhao Gao's clan brother to ignore me at all. If it weren't for

Jiujiang City was taken down with my help, I'm afraid he might not even let me in." The day shift was filled with anger.

"General Bai, please wait for a long time." Zhao Changke walked in while tying his robes when the white shift could hardly wait any longer.

"It's already noon, and you just got up? How do you become a general in an army?" Bai Ben was an outspoken person, and he scolded Zhao Changke as soon as he saw Zhao Changke's appearance.

"Well, it was my soldiers who caught two spies yesterday. I interrogated them all night and didn't fall asleep until this morning."

"The spies are two women, right?" the day shift sneered, that's what he came for.

"General Bai's ears and eyes are also very good, since he even knows everything about me." Zhao Changke was a little annoyed.

"General Zhao, now we are guarding this isolated city with no reinforcements from outside. You must not provoke the people in the city to revolt, otherwise we will be besieged internally and externally." Bai Ban said seriously.

"General, I know. Don't worry, General Bai. I won't risk the city because of these things." After speaking, he yawned loudly and said, "General Bai, is there anything else? If not,

I won’t accompany you anymore.”

The day shift stared at him for a while and then said, "General Zhao, just take a rest." Then he left without looking back.

Zhao Changke looked at the back of the day shift and sneered: "Don't just rely on yourself to help me take down Jiujiang City and then you can tell me what to do."

There is a big tree outside the prefecture. The branches and leaves on the tree are so lush that it is difficult for people to see the scene above through the leaves. At this time, there is a person lying on it. He has been lying on it for a long time. "I don't know what happened to the lady and the others.

I heard that they disappeared after coming here that day. It seems that they were captured by these Qin people." He was Lao Chen. There were too many people in the city that day, so he and Yu Ziyan

They were separated, and after finally finding out the news about the two of them, he lay down here and waited for dark.

It finally got dark. Lao Chen quickly got down from the tree, took off a rope as thick as his thumb from his waist, and threw it onto a tree in the backyard of the prefect's mansion. He pulled it with his hands.

He tested his strength and then swung into the backyard on the rope. "I haven't done this kind of thing for twenty years. I don't know if my skills are rusty." Lao Chen thought as he solved the problem.

After he got off the tree, the rope wrapped him back around his waist.

After evading two groups of patrolling guards, Lao Chen had arrived in front of rows of wing rooms. Although he had lived here for many days, he still couldn't find where Yu Ziyan was, so he hid under the

He waited in the darkness for the lone person to arrive. When he arrived, a girl appeared in front of him. He immediately reached out and pulled her in front of him: "Don't scream, or I will kill you immediately."

The girl nodded anxiously, her eyes full of fear: "You... who are you, and what are you doing here?"

"Where are the two women captured outside the prefect's mansion a few days ago?"

The girl obviously knew what Old Chen was referring to, and hurriedly pointed at the small attic where Yu Ziyan used to live. "They can still live there, it seems they didn't suffer much." Old Chen relaxed.

tone, and then knocked the girl unconscious with one palm.

"Uncle Chen, are you here to save us?" Yu Ziyan said in surprise when she saw Old Chen suddenly running into the room.

"Miss, come with me." Lao Chen didn't say much. After meeting Yu Ziyan, he led them to the escape route he designed. Everything went smoothly, and the three of them were so unaware.

Arriving in front of the courtyard wall, Lao Chen threw the rope out again. This time the target was the tree outside the courtyard where he had been lying for half a day. Then he tied one end of the rope to Yu Ziyan's body, and he held it

Yu Ziyan's waist swayed, while Qing Ming wanted to wait until he sent the young lady away before picking her up.

Seeing that they were about to succeed, there was a sudden cry: "There are spies!" Following this sound, many guards ran from everywhere, holding powerful crossbows with arrows in their hands.

The arrow shone coldly under the light of the torch.

As soon as he saw that his actions were exposed, Old Chen wanted to swing out immediately. Unexpectedly, an arrow came and hit the rope that was no more than the thickness of a thumb. Then someone said: "Good skills, but you still can't run away." Old Chen

The two of them landed in response. He turned around and saw a man in his thirties with a murderous look on his face. He smiled and said: "This general knew that there were remnants of Yu Fulong who would come to save his niece, so he let him

Zhao Changke put them under house arrest here, and today I finally let them wait." This person is the day shift. "I think you should just let it go, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can save your life."

Old Chen looked at the crossbowmen surrounding him a few feet away, knowing that no matter how fast his movements were, he could not match the crossbow arrows. He sighed and put Yu Ziyan back on the ground: "I didn't expect that there was such a powerful person in the Qin army.

General, I wonder who you are?"

"Day shift." Bai shift said calmly.

"It turns out that it was General Bai who defeated the Zhao people together with Zhang Han. I lost without any regrets." Old Chen said with a bitter smile.

"Here comes someone to tie him up. This general wants to ask about his origins." The white squad ordered. The soldiers went up and tied up Lao Chen in a few moments. At this time, Zhao Changke also heard the news and came over. As soon as he saw

This scene is also a secret blessing. If this person came to assassinate me, I'm afraid I would be in danger.

"General Bai, just leave the man to me." Zhao Changke pointed at Yu Ziyan and the two girls.

"I captured the man this time, why should I give it to you?" The day shift turned to his subordinates and said, "Take the man to me." After saying that, he ignored the livid Zhao Changke and left.
