Call of the Deer

Chapter 296

Luoxia's crimson, like a ribbon, fluttered in the western sky, and a ray of afterglow slantedly reflected on the cloud-pushing city.

Cloud Cloud City has been besieged for nearly a month, and it has reached the point of running out of soldiers and food.

Outside the city, Xu Rong's army and Cao Jingzong's army are clearly separated, and they will firmly besiege Poyun City.

Tents were next to tents, one after another, and war horses were placed in horse horns.

The inner three floors and the outer three floors surrounded the city of Poyun so tightly that not a single fly could fly out.
"Report to the commander, the enemy camp outside the city has doubled again, it seems that the enemy troops sent to Qicheng have returned"

"Oh, they actually withdrew the army that was restraining Hou Junji, and they didn't intend to attack, did they?"

Guo Ziyi fell into deep thought when he heard the words, ignored the lieutenant general, squinted his eyes, stood on the dilapidated city wall, and looked towards the enemy camp.
Sure enough, it was found that there were a lot more camps outside the city than usual, and there were more stove fires. The lieutenant general was right.

"Since the enemy's situation is unknown, we can only use the plan. No matter whether they are sincerely allied with me and want to destroy the other side, I can sit firmly on Mount Tai."

Thinking of this, Guo Ziyi's frowning gradually disappeared, and she took a deep breath, feeling that her breathing was quite smooth.

At the same time, Guo Ziyi wrote two letters at the same time, and sent them to Xu Rong and Cao Jingzong respectively.

At the same time, he opened the escape passage he secretly prepared: a tunnel dug more than ten meters deep underground, leading to the outside.

Send someone to take a secret letter to Hou Junji in Qicheng in the north.

In Xu Rong's camp, Van Rong sat on the main seat, and Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu sat on both sides.

"Guo Ziyi sent a letter, promising to join forces with us and wipe out Cao Jingzong's army outside the city of Clouds. What do you think?"

After reading the letter sent by Guo Ziyi, Xu Rong raised his head and said softly.

"Oh, did you agree so easily? Could Guo Ziyi be cheating, just in case?"

Zhang Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, he couldn't believe it, and asked in surprise.

"Of course it is impossible to agree so easily. I believe him Guo Ziyi, and he Guo Ziyi does not necessarily believe me. He put forward conditions, saying that we must show sincerity."

Xu Rong rolled his eyes and said helplessly that he seemed to agree with Guo Ziyi.

"Sincerity? His grandma, if we don't beat him, Guo Ziyi, isn't it sincerity? What kind of sincerity do we need?"

Zhang Ji was furious when he heard this, and began to curse.

"Look for yourself, this is Guo Ziyi's condition, but it's not too much. If it were me, I would put forward such a condition just to be on the safe side."

Xu Rong knew that Zhang Ji was irritable, so he didn't bother to argue with him, so he handed him the letter.

Zhang Ji took the letter and began to check it.

"Damn it, you want us to fight back first, what are you kidding about? What if this guy turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone? We don't know him well. Why don't we unite with Cao Jingzong and kill this guy?"

Although Zhang Ji is irritable, he is not stupid. He can see the disadvantages and possible situations at a glance.

"My lord has ordered me to bury Cao Jingzong and these tens of thousands of soldiers here, as a shame to Xuemohe City."

Xu Rong's face was also helpless and depressed, and at the same time there was a trace of anger spreading.

"It's all this stupid Li Jue, let alone die in vain, and lose such an important city as Mohe City, damn it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ji felt quite depressed and helpless, so he pulled out the instigator, Li Jue who had been beheaded by Shi Lang, and whipped him.

"Okay, although Li Jue was a little reckless, but the deceased is already dead, so don't make sarcastic remarks and poke him in the back, after all, you are a colleague."

Xu Rong frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a cold voice, looking rather displeased.

"Then what do you think we should do? Could it be that Guo Ziyi really agreed? Do you know how risky it is?"

Zhang Ji blew his beard and stared, and also got into a fight with vanity, and he refused to accept anyone.

"That's enough. I'm the coach here. I have the final say. The so-called non-stop is not to be disrupted. Why not agree to Guo Ziyi?"

"I'd like to see if this Guo Ziyi has the courage to do something that makes a fool of himself, hmph."

"Then Hou Jun has no more than [-] to [-] troops. Without knowing the enemy's situation, he would never dare to rush to send troops. How dare Guo Ziyi face the two armies with only seven or eight thousand troops?"

Xu Rong was also a little angry. He scolded him in a cold voice and made his own choice. He planned to agree to Guo Ziyi's request. He was confident.

Seeing that Xu Rong was angry, Zhang Ji immediately stopped talking. After all, Xu Rong is the supreme commander, and he is just a small deputy commander.

At the same time, this scene was still happening in Cao Jingzong's tent.

"An Shi, do you think this Guo Ziyi will cheat? If the time comes to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman, it will be bad."

Cao Jingzong still trusted Xie An, so he asked him for advice at this time.

"It stands to reason that Guo Ziyi shouldn't have agreed so easily when the enemy's situation was unknown, so he must have something to rely on to be able to agree so easily."

After all, Xie An was a top student at Jixia Academy, so when analyzing problems, he naturally proceeded step by step with reason.

"You mean to say that whether our army joins forces with him or turns against him at a critical moment, he will remain invincible?"

Cao Jingzong's ability to become Xiao Yan's chief general means that he is naturally not lacking in wisdom, he is quite clever, and he can understand everything.

"That's right, plus Zhang Ji's sudden withdrawal before, these are connected together, I'm afraid Xu Rong is playing with the same attention as us."

Xie An took a deep breath and said with a serious face.

"Oh, I'm afraid that's the case. Our army's rear was cut off by Hou Junji, and Chen Qingzhi has disappeared. It's really hard to get off the tiger."

"We can only cooperate with Guo Ziyi and seek skin from tigers, otherwise we can retreat with our troops. Where does it need to be so timid?"

Cao Jingzong's eyes showed helplessness, why didn't he think of this?This Guo Ziyi is determined to eat him, this is a conspiracy of naked {naked}{naked}
"So, our army can only gamble, betting that Guo Ziyi will not dare to offend both armies at the same time."

At this time, Cao Jingzong became a real gambler, taking the biggest gamble in his life.

In Qi City, the Eastern Qin Army is ready to go.

Hou Junji opened the letter sent by Guo Ziyi and began to read it carefully.

"Hey, so that's the case. No wonder this Chai Shao and Zhang Ji withdrew his troops suddenly. It seems that I was worrying too much."

"Hmph, a group of idiots dare to play like this, don't they know what will happen if they seek skin from a tiger?"

He seemed a bit disdainful of Xu Rong and Cao Jingzong's actions, but it was just lip service.

After all, he can still see Cao Jingzong's plight, which is the end of being trapped in a cocoon.

Dingzhou was in chaos, but as a guard, he was deeply trapped in the quagmire of Yunzhou, and he could not escape the guilt.

For Chai Shao and Zhang Ji, he naturally hated him to the bone. Now that he can beat the dog in the water, wouldn't he applaud him?
"Hmph, if you want to blame, blame you for voting for the wrong lord, for doing the wrong thing, for being an enemy of my lord, you should be killed"

Hou Junji snorted coldly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, looking a little sinister.

At this time, Xu Rong and Cao Jingzong didn't know that Guo Ziyi had already notified Hou Junji.

And Hou Junji's army slowly approached the cloud city.
