The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 514 Solicit Overlord?

Wujun, the Great Wall, and the area near Dongting Mountain, Huaixi Army and Wu Army are fiercely attacking and defending.

At this time, Marquis Wu and Sun Ce were on the front line in person, resisting waves of massive attacks from the Huaixi Army.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang signed the armistice treaty with Gao Qi, he has been preparing the army for war. When the Qi State was fighting the Taiping Army on a large scale.

Zhu Yuanzhang also personally raised an army of [-] to go south, and went straight to Sun Ce of Wujun.

For a while, the situation was extremely tense, and Sun Ce did not dare to neglect, and immediately assembled [-] troops in the territory at Dongting Mountain near the Great Wall, relying on the danger to fight against the enemy.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's attacking ability is too strong, and the battle has continued to this stage. In fact, Sun Ce is gradually unable to support it and is about to collapse!

Wu Jun, Great Wall, Military Mansion
"Wu Hou, according to what Xun saw, it's time for our army to ask for help from the Qi army."

At this time, Sun Ce was frowning and observing on the map to see if there was a breakthrough point.

For example, for food and grass, it is a pity that after observing for a long time, it is a busy work.

Facing a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang, Sun Ce couldn't show the kind of ruthlessness he had when he swept Jiangdong in the original history.

So, up to now, he hasn't even earned the honor of the so-called 'little bully'.

After a long time, Sun Ce said slowly, "Should we still ask the Qi army for help?"

"Ugh!"

For a moment, Sun Ceyang couldn't restrain himself, and sighed silently, his heart was sad.

After all, as an anti-king, who wants to give up all his efforts, let alone someone like Sun Ce, who hides lofty ambitions and ambitions.

Asking for help from the Qi army meant that he, Sun Ce, would formally surrender to Gao Qi, even if he really defeated Zhu Yuanzhang in the future.

But Sun Ce also knew that his side would be controlled by the Qi army.

However, the current situation is extremely critical, and it seems that there is only one way to ask the Qi army for help.

"Hey! If that's the case, Boyan, you can arrange someone to contact the Qi army!"

After a long silence, Sun Ce sighed and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Lu Xun cupped his hands and said, "No!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xun continued: "Marquis Wu, although the Qi army has received foreign aid, we still rely on ourselves for everything."

"Xun knows that there is a family in Yuhang. The head of the family is named Xiang, and the grandson's name is Xiang Mingyu.

"Xun has a close relationship with Xiang Yan, the head of his family, and he knows that his Xiang family is all talents in the world. If he can help him, he will definitely be able to reverse the current unfavorable battle situation."

"Not only that, but his grandson Xiang Yu's martial arts are very high. He was only in his twenties at the time, and he was just at the age of the crown, so his martial arts were unpredictable."

"Xun saw with his own eyes that Xiang Yu was carrying a lot of power, and his supernatural power was obvious. Xun guessed that his martial prowess might not be inferior to the current Zhao Wang Li Yuanba."

"Even if it can't be compared with Li Yuanba, at least it is between Yuwen Chengdu and Li Cunxiao."

Because Li Cunxiao defeated Yuwen Chengdu in one blow in Weixian City, his reputation has risen, and his momentum has already surpassed Yuwen Chengdu.

There were even rumors that even the invincible Li Yuanba might not be able to defeat Li Cunxiao.

From this point of view, Lu Xun's comparison of Xiang Yu with Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao is really incredible!
"What, do you think there are people in this world who can compare with Li Yuanba?"

For Li Yuanba's strength, Sun Ce can be said to have a deep memory.

A few years ago, the anti-kings in Siming Mountain intercepted and killed Yang Guang, and Sun Ce also joined Sun Jian in the Sui army of King Qin.

At that time, Sun Ce saw with his own eyes that Li Yuanba's demeanor was invincible in the Sui army. His double hammers would kill him if he touched them, and hurt him if he rubbed them.

In the subsequent battle between Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, he dealt a fatal blow to Sun Ce!
That is, Yuwen Chengdu, who resisted the siege of the three generals of Xiongkuohai alone, but did not lose the wind at all, had no power to fight back against Li Yuanba.

Therefore, for now, Sun Ce was deeply shocked that Xiang Yu actually had the strength of Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao.

"Xiang Yu has such great strength, I wonder if Boyan can recommend him for me?"

For a while, Sun Ce's eyes gleamed, but he was salivating at the brave general.

After all, now is the time when life and death are at stake, and there is such a general who can change the situation of the battle by himself, of course Sun Ce will not let it go.

Hearing this, Lu Xun smiled wryly and said, "Marquis Wu, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do!"

"Xiang Yu is arrogant, conceited and invincible in the world. I'm afraid he won't be able to attract Xiang Yu and waste his time."

"If Marquis Wu really wants to recruit Xiang Yu, the only way to do it is to go there in person."

Immediately, Lu Xun also told the truth, that is, if he wanted to attract Xiang Yu, he had to go there in person, relying on his own personality charm, to impress Xiang Yu and make him submit.

Seeing this, Sun Ce said slowly, "It's just that the enemy army is attacking very urgently now. If this Marquis leaves, who can take charge of the overall situation?"

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Ce looked at Lu Xun and asked, "Bo Yan, if Ben Hou entrusts you with the command of the army, can you support me until I return?"

For a while, Lu Xun, who had heard the words, directly accepted the order, saying: "Xun will definitely die, and the leader will swear to resist the enemy!"

"Be sure to stick to the Tao and Marquis Wu solicits Xiang Yu's return."

Seeing Lu Xun's eyes full of confidence, Sun Ce felt relieved, settled down, and went to personally recruit the Xiang family.

Early the next morning, after Sun Ce handed over the command of the army to Lu Xun, he dressed in strong clothes and went straight south.

Since Yuhang was under the Tianping Army's territory at this time, Sun Ce did not walk blindly, but dressed up first, pretending to be an ordinary merchant.

Luzhou, Governor's Mansion
At this time, Governor Li Jing was summoning Su Lie and other generals to discuss support for the Wu army.

"Generals, the King of Qi has sent the military information to Bendu, and told Bendu to act according to circumstances. When Wu's army is not strong enough, let our army send troops to help him and share his pressure."

After Lu Xun's talk, Gao Qi sent an order to Li Jing to act according to circumstances, and must keep Sun Ce's rule in Jiangdong.

Don't let Zhu Yuanzhang wipe out in one fell swoop, causing Zhu Yuanzhang to gain a firm foothold in the Jiangdong area.

Hearing this, Qin Shubao, the general under his command, couldn't help but said slowly: "But, Commander, isn't King Qi's military situation in conflict with the treaty?"

"Our army only signed an armistice treaty with the Huaixi Army a few months ago."

"At this time, troops are being sent to interfere, is it a bit...?"

Hearing this, Su Lie, who was at the bottom, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "General Shubao, you are still too kind!"

"In troubled times, there are only benefits, and there are no promises. As long as there is a fighter that is beneficial to the country, even if it is a breach of the treaty, what can it be?"

"In other words, our army does not need to be in direct contact with the Huaixi army. It can restrain the enemy army and share the pressure of the Wu army."

It's just that Li Jing couldn't help but value Su Lie more because of what he said. He is worthy of being a general.

It's just that it's a bit difficult for Qi Jiang to say these words.

All the generals present did not understand the intention of Su Lie's words.

"If you don't renege on the treaty, how can you restrain the Huaixi Army?"

This is the point of doubt that arises in the minds of all the generals today.

Immediately, Li Jing laughed, but did not answer directly, but looked at Pei Xingjian who was at the side.

Because of Pei Xingjian's high talent, Gao Qi asked him to join Li Jing's army, and wrote a letter to inform him of his ability, so that he could focus on training him.

After several months of training, at this time Li Jing also wanted to teach Pei Xingjian, and said slowly: "Pei Xingjian, you have been studying with Bendu and Dingfang for several months."

"So, let me tell you, what do you mean by what you said just now?"

For a moment, Pei Xingjian who was standing at the end looked at Li Jing immediately after hearing the words, and then he was flattered and smiled happily.

He is talented and intelligent, of course he knows that Li Jing is testing him, if he can answer this time, maybe his chance to lead the army will come.

Immediately, Pei Xingjian took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then walked over without changing his face, analyzing: "Generals, governors."

"Actually, according to what the deputy governor said just now, and according to the young general's guess, the real meaning contained in it is not to abandon the treaty and fight with the Huaixi Army."

"Instead, they wantonly dispatched troops to station troops on the border, trained sergeants, and conducted drills to deter the Huaixi Army."

"At this time, even if our army has no intention of invading the enemy, the Huaixi army will definitely not trust our army so much, and will definitely send troops to garrison."

"In this way, our army can be said to have taken the initiative. It neither betrayed the treaty nor dispersed the enemy's forces. It can also reduce the pressure on the Wu army."

"Why not do this move?"

After a few words, he slowly analyzed Su Lie's plan, and then he looked at Li Jing.

After a few words, Li Jing also informed the generals of the importance of this plan, which was considered affirmation of Pei Xingjian's contribution.

"It's no wonder King Qi attaches so much importance to Pei Xingjian, this man is indeed a handsome talent born in the world."

"Ben must be carefully cultivated, maybe in the future it may become a pillar of the country!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Jing ordered the deputy governor Su Lie to lead the army to the border for drills, supplemented by Pei Xingjian to accompany the army, and together with Su Lie, learn from him the battle experience.

A few days later, as the Qi army conducted extensive drills on the Lujiang border, this move alarmed the Huaixi army staying in Liyang.

The battle report was sent to the front line urgently, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still for a while, and immediately ordered Deng Yu to send an army back to defend Liyang to monitor the movement of the Qi army.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Qi State was fighting against the Taiping Army at this time, he would not attack himself!
It's just that war is not a child's play after all, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to block the so-called luck.

With the transfer of part of the Huaixi Army's troops, the situation facing the Wu Army suddenly became much easier.

Under Lu Xun's command, although the Wu army still resisted the Huaixi army with difficulty, it was able to ensure a solid line of defense.

Yuhang County, Fuyang City

Xiangjiazhuang, the Xiang family has settled here since the Southern Dynasty. After several generations of development, the size of the Xiang family today cannot be underestimated!

His family business is indeed rich, almost the leader in Yuhang.

However, the strange thing is that generations of the Xiang family claim to be descendants of Xiang Ji from the Chu and Han Dynasties, and members of the family have never been officials.

Therefore, so far, the Xiang family has not had any choice for members of the Xiang clan to become officials.

After a long time, the servant rushed into the hall in a hurry, and told the old man in the middle of the hall who was about fifty years old: "Patriarch, there is a young man outside the mansion who claims to be a nobleman, and he has something important to see the Patriarch."

The old man in the hall was of course the famous general of the Warring States Period, the general who defeated Li Xin, the famous general of the Qin Dynasty, was Xiang Yu's grandfather.

Xiang Yan was brought into the world when Xiang Yu was born.

Hearing this, Xiang Yan said slowly: "Who is this person, can you tell me his last name?"

Immediately, the servant reported truthfully: "No!"

It's just that when Xiang Yan was about to shirk and disappear, the young man volunteered and galloped over!

"Master Xiang, guests come from afar, is this how the Xiang family treats guests?"

This young man is naturally Sun Ce in disguise.

In desperation, Xiang Yan had no choice but to invite his servant to let Sun Ce take a seat. After sitting down, Xiang Yan asked slowly: "I don't know who this young master is. What's the purpose of coming to my Xiang family?"

Hearing this, Sun Ce said slowly: "Patriarch Xiang, don't worry, I heard that Xiang Yu of the Xiang family is unparalleled in martial arts, comparable to Li Yuanba, king of Tang and Zhao, and Li Cunxiao of Qi."

"Therefore, this time I came to find Lingsun!"

For a moment, Xiang Yan was also puzzled, not knowing who it was, and murmured: "Oh, it's a coincidence that you came here."

"Ling Sun Xiangyu happened to be out on business and not at home."

"You actually went out?"

Suddenly, Sun Ce's expression moved, but he didn't show it.
