Because of Zhou Ye's strategy, Yue Jin almost made no resistance and abandoned Pingyuan County. In this way, Lu Zhuo easily took over Pingyuan County.
Although Lu Zhuo was puzzled by this, he didn't think much of it. After a brief rest in Pingyuan County, he began to plan to advance to the next county.
Just as Lu Zhuo was preparing to leave the city with his troops, a person with strange behavior suddenly appeared and blocked the army's path.
The soldier was about to expel the person when Lv Zhuo raised his hand to signal the soldier to let the person come over. The person quickly rushed to Lv Zhuo and clumsily made a gesture of respect. Lv Zhuo gestured for the person not to be too polite and to speak directly. The person slowly stood up, looking nervous, and said to Lv Zhuo, "General, you are the imperial army going to suppress the rebel army, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lv Zhuo nodded slightly and asked in a soft voice, "May I ask why you have stopped us, sir?" The young man looked anxious and said to Lv Zhuo, "General, please do not proceed any further. There is an ambush ahead!" Lv Zhuo furrowed his brow upon hearing this and looked at the young man with suspicion, asking coldly, "How do you know there is an ambush ahead?"
The man squinted his eyes and looked around cautiously. Then he whispered to Lu Zhuo's ear, "I overheard this information a few days ago when I was delivering food to the rebel army camp. So, General, I advise you not to go any further." After the man finished speaking, Lu Zhuo just instructed his men to take care of the man and continued walking towards Chenggu County. Seeing Lu Zhuo still heading towards Chenggu County, the man hurried to step forward to stop him.
At this moment, Lu Zhuo's deputy blocked his way. Coldly, he said, "Young man, please don't delay our army's time. Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting. If you miss the opportunity, you won't be able to bear the consequences." As he spoke, he gestured with the weapon in his hand towards the man.
The man was startled by the weapon in the deputy's hand and instinctively took a few steps back. But he bit his tongue and steadied his feet. Then he still blocked the way of the crowd.
The two sides remained deadlocked for a long time. After about two quarters of an hour, Lu Zhuo's deputy couldn't bear it any longer and had to use his weapon to knock the man unconscious.
After the deputy general knocked the person unconscious, he held onto him. Then, holding onto the person, he asked Lv Zhuo, "General, what should we do with this person?"
Lv Zhuo just gave the person a cold glance and said, "Take him with us for now. When we get to their place, just let him go."
The deputy general nodded at the words. So, he found a horse, casually threw the person onto its back, and tied the person loosely to the horse with a rope.
On the way to Chenggu, Lv Zhuo actually encountered an ambush. The two sides engaged in an exceptionally fierce battle. Because of the neighing of the war horses, the person woke up on horseback. He was momentarily shocked by the scene before him. Lv Zhuo glanced at him and simply said, "We may not be able to protect you next, find a safe place to hide." Before Lv Zhuo could finish, three generals under the command of Yan State's king suddenly led troops to attack from the side. Lv Zhuo was momentarily caught off guard and almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, Lv Zhuo reacted quickly, preventing the situation from deteriorating instantly.
Lü Zhuo quickly stepped forward and blocked the three enemy generals. Zhao Ming wanted to help Lü Zhuo, but he shouted, "You don't need to help me, go stabilize the situation." Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming and his team swiftly pierced through the enemy formation like a sharp knife. Thanks to their bravery, the enemy formation quickly became fragmented.
With the shouts of the charge, swords whistled past the ears. The soldiers' bloodshot eyes flickered with hatred in their fierce faces.
The battle lasted for nearly three days and nights, and both sides of the soldiers were exhausted.
The battlefield stretched as far as the eye could see. The air was filled with nauseating blood and the smoke of gunpowder. The soldiers, covered in blood, fought to the death in their final struggle. For a moment, the beast-like roar spread throughout the entire valley.
But as Lv Zhuo killed all three enemy generals, the morale of the rebel army instantly plummeted. The enemy soldiers scattered in all directions. After completely repelling the enemy forces, the soldiers dropped their weapons and sat on the ground as if a great burden had been lifted. Lv Zhuo glanced at the soldiers and then around at the surroundings. He ordered the soldiers, "Have you all rested? Pack up and let's go. I'm afraid the enemy may have reinforcements."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers immediately stood up and quickly ran towards the direction of Chenggu County. At this moment, the man slowly emerged from a corner, and Lü Zhuo glanced at him, then sincerely apologized to the man, "Sir, you had foresight, and we misunderstood you." The man just waved his hand lightly in response, indicating that it was nothing, and he had to thank them for saving his life. After hurrying along, the group finally arrived at Chenggu County.
Lü Zhuo took out a few taels of silver and handed them to the man, saying softly, "Sir, we have arrived at Chenggu County. Let's part ways here, and perhaps we will meet again in the future."
However, the man did not take the silver from Lü Zhuo's hand. Instead, he slowly bowed to Lü Zhuo and said calmly, "General Lu, then let us part ways here." With that, he turned and left without hesitation.
Lü Zhuo watched the gradually disappearing figure and shouted loudly, "Sir, may I ask for your name?"
The man waved his hand casually and said loudly, "My name is Nangong Han."
Lv Zhuo kept looking in Nangong Han's direction until Nangong Han gradually disappeared from his sight.
Lv Zhuo looked up at the towering city wall of Chenggu County and sighed, "This will be another tough battle."
Ye City
Yan's Mansion
Xuanyuan Di looked at the shabby Yue Jin and others in front of him with a cold expression, and said coldly, "Is this the answer you generals are giving to me? You are supposed to be my pillar generals! And yet you dare to come back."
"Immediately, with a cold expression, he ordered, 'Bring these useless people down and execute them.' Upon hearing Yan State's king's words, the group panicked and fell to their knees, begging for mercy, 'Please spare us, Your Highness! Please spare us!' However, Xuanyuan Di remained expressionless, ignoring their pleas."
Out of desperation, several people could only plead with Zhou Ye for help, hoping he could save their lives. Zhou Ye, seeing that these people were quite brave after all, appealed to Xuanyuan Di on their behalf, "Your Highness Yan State's king, considering General Yue's men have no merit but have suffered, please spare them this time."
Upon hearing Zhou Ye's words, Xuanyuan Di became even angrier and rebuked Zhou Ye, "Do you still have the nerve to speak! Didn't you say before that this was a flawless ambush plan? How could it still fail? This time, these few useless people have caused the loss of over ten thousand soldiers and horses! It's over ten thousand soldiers and horses!"
Zhou Ye whispered mysteriously, "I have a plan that can turn the situation around and bring clarity to the matter."
Xuanyuan Di looked at Zhou Ye with skepticism, but at the moment, there was no other way, so he had to give it a try.
Zhou Ye leaned in close to Xuanyuan Di and slowly revealed his plan...
