When Fang Li returned to Chiyang, news of the loss of Jiangguan also came.

Fang Li hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures. Deputy generals Yan Ti, Zhang Liao, Qu Yi, Zhu Rong and several other lieutenants attended the meeting, and Baili Susu was also allowed to listen to the scene by Fang Li.

It was heard that General Lin Yue, who was guarding Chiyang, died in Jiangguan. His old subordinates all looked sad, and the huge convention hall was shrouded in sorrow, and the atmosphere was suppressed.

Jin State once attacked Yu State many times, but the scale has never been so large. Every time, it sent troops ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 troops.

Of course, at that time, the military strength of Jin State was not as strong as it is now, so naturally he would not bet on all his strength to attack Yu.

Moreover, at that time, the State of Yu had a loyal ally, Guo, and if there was a slight disturbance, the Guo army would immediately reinforce, fight side by side with the Yu army, and block the Jin army's cavalry outside the pass.

However, since the death of the previous monarch of Guo State, the new Duke of Guo, Ji Shubi, looked down on Ji Chan, and was domineering in his words, as if he was above the country, which led to the rapid deterioration of the relationship between the two sides and lowered to freezing point.

It is precisely because of this that the monarch and ministers of Jin made a plan to destroy Guo, but were stopped by Baili Xi and Fang Li, and they could not steal the chicken and lose the rice, and they lost the Tianzun Bi and the Fengxiao Horse.

What made Jin Xian Gong Guizhu feel even more disgraceful was that Ji Chan dared to ask Li Ji as a hostage by name. This was simply a naked slap in the face. In a rage, he decided to attack hard and sent Xian Zhen to raise 200,000 troops and knock on Jiang Pass.

"Oh... I didn't expect General Lin Yue to die in battle like this!"

Yan Di, who was 40 years old, looked pale and shrunk. He didn't know whether it was because of fear or grief, and his spirit was quite depressed. "We also made an appointment to wait until winter when he came back to the Red Mud Stove and drink three cups of it, but who knew that he would die in the battlefield."

Fang Li comforted him: "If the clay pot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in front of the formation. Teng Xun, Lin Yue and other generals died for the country, and history will remember their achievements."

"I don't know if the Guo army will come to support this time?"

Yan Ti shook his head and sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness, "Lord is really, Guo State is much stronger than our Yu State. Can't you lower your head? You have to argue with Shubi, I guess the Guo Army will probably not come this time!"

"Report..."

The messenger outside the door rushed over with a long emphasis, "There is an envoy to bring the imperial edict of the Duke of the Kingdom!"

Fang Li hurriedly led the generals out of the meeting hall to receive the edict: "I Fang Li received the edict!"

Although the officers who were sending the order were dusty all the way and almost smoked, they didn't bother to drink water and started to recite the edict: "In the early morning of yesterday, the Jin army launched a large-scale attack on Jiangguan. The defenders Teng Xun, Zhang Hu and others all died for their country, and Jiangguan was lost. The Jin army claimed to be 500,000 and was approaching the royal city. After receiving the edict, the Lieutenant General Fang Li led his troops to quickly serve the king. No mistakes should be made!"

Fang Li received the edict and returned to the meeting hall, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "This Ji Chan was probably scared and probably did not seek Baili Xi's opinion! The 200,000 Jin troops were at the city, and with the number of troops under my command, I was simply hitting the stone with an egg!"

Fang Li naturally would not be so stupid that he obeyed Ji Chan's blind command. This team is his own battle for the capital of the world and must not be squandered.

But the lord was in trouble and issued an edict. Fang Li couldn't refuse directly. He glanced at Yan Qi and asked, "The lord asked to serve the king. I wonder what General Yan wanted?"

"The lord is in trouble, so I must not help you!" Yan Ti pondered with his beard, looking worried about the country and the king.

Fang Li nodded; "General Yan said it very well, but the newly recruited soldiers have been trained for only a few days and have almost no combat power. Why not stay here and continue to take charge of Chiyang? Do you lead the original two thousand soldiers to the east to fight for the king?"

“Um…”

Yan Ti's throat contracted and explained, "I don't mean that. I mean that the lord is in trouble. As a minister, he should naturally go and save him. But with thousands of soldiers, how is it different to hitting stones with eggs?"

Fang Li nodded and said, "General Yan's words are reasonable. Jiang Pass has been lost. Pinglu has no danger to defend. The Jin army can directly attack the royal city with one horse. With the insignificant soldiers and horses in our hands, it is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

Fang Li walked to the sand table in the center of the conference hall and pointed with his hand: "But the lord is in trouble, and as a minister, I must not help him. This general decided to lead 5,000 people to guard the building and village eastward, so that the lord would give up Pinglu and move west to the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain to temporarily avoid the edge of the Jin army."

Although Yan Ti and others were mediocre and incompetent, they were not fools, and no one was willing to go back and die easily. In the current situation, the proposal of Li was undoubtedly the best choice.

Taking the initiative to give up the royal city Pinglu on the plain, migrate westward to the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, use the towering mountains and steep mountains to deal with the Jin army, waiting for the rescue of other princes or attack Jin State, this is the only strategy for Yu State to avoid destruction.

After Fang Li finished speaking, all the generals and the school passed unanimously.

Fang Li decided to personally lead Zhang Liao, Zhurong and Yan Ti to lead 5,000 people to march west into Louzhai, control the checkpoints, and to help Duke Yu Xiang lead civil and military officials, as well as concubines, maids, eunuchs and others in the royal city to take refuge in the west.

Zhang Liao and Zhurong quickly ordered their troops and lined up to leave the city and headed west to control Louzhai Pass.

"After I leave, Chi Yang will entrust him to Captain Qu!" Fang Li turned over and patted Qu Yi on the shoulder with great earnestness.

Qu Yi patted his chest and swore confidently: "General Fang, please rest assured. It's not me, Qu Yi, who boasted about Haikou. With the dangerous terrain of Chiyang and the 5,000 soldiers, I dare not say that there is more. As long as the Jin army does not exceed 50,000, I can't take a step!"

Jing Xi didn't expect that General Fang, who had just arrived in Chiyang, would have left again. At the same time, he was glad that he had left Pinglu, otherwise the royal city would have fallen. If he had become a prisoner of the Jin army, he would not know when he would be able to see General Fang again!

"General, the weather is getting colder and colder. There are two cotton coats I sewed for you in the bag. Take it with you."

Jing Xi ran a few steps with her bag and caught up with the general who was about to set out. She handed a vermilion bag on both hands, and her love was beyond words.

Fang Li nodded at Jing Xi and showed a kind smile; "Don't worry, Ah Xi, I will be back soon, take good care of myself when I am not here!"

As the melodious horn sounded, Fang Li led 5,000 soldiers to leave Chiyang and march westward, with the target pointing directly to the Lou Village.

As for the construction of Hedong New City, the construction of Hedong New City has been temporarily suspended. Without material support, what can we use to build a city? The Jin army's cavalry will invade at any time, and the Yu Kingdom will be in danger. What's the use of building a city?

"drive!"

Baili Susu whipped the horse and galloped at the front of the team, hoping to put on wings and fly back to Pinglu.

Her grandfather, grandmother, mother, brothers and sisters are all in Pinglu City, which is her hometown where she grew up. Seeing that she was about to be ravaged by the Jin cavalry, how could she not make her anxious?

"Su Su, do you know where General Meng Ming is?" Fang Li rode his horse to chase Baili Susu and asked loudly.

When the war came, the commander of the three armies disappeared, which was really funny!

Baili Susu pointed to the mountains east: "I heard from my mother that after my father sent you to Pingyang, he brought 10,000 soldiers to Wangwu Mountain, cut down trees, piled up rolling stones on the mountain, and prepared to ambush the Jin army. I didn't expect that you had recruited so many people at once and destroyed his plan. I don't know if you retreated from the mountain at this moment?"

Fang Li frowned, and a trace of ominous premonition flashed through his heart!

Even Zhang Liao could see through Baili Si's plan. Could it be that Xian Zhen, Chong'er, Xun Xi and others would be kept in the dark? If the Jin army ambushed the way back on Baili Si, it would be very likely that Baili Si would be killed!
