My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

The old year has gone and the new year has come.

Zong Yanli spends the whole day either taking medicine or on his way to take medicine.

External injuries are easy to heal, but internal injuries are difficult to heal, so much so that Zong Yanli is a little scared when he sees Xiao Tianhe now. He suddenly understands Mr. Gongsun back then. It is really unbearable to take medicine as food, but he can't shirk it.

Whenever Zong Yanli opened his mouth to explain, he would say that his injuries had healed.

Xiao Tianhe would snort coldly, and that look and that attitude really made Zong Yanli feel guilty, and in the end he could only pinch his nose and drink all the medicine.

"Has the snow melted?" Zong Yanli couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing that the situation was getting better, he wanted to reach for his sword. He frowned and pulled Long Feiguang and asked, "Are you ready to attack the city?"

"Not yet." Long Feiguang shook his head. These past few days, our army has been patrolling and spying on the enemy, and has not launched a large-scale attack on the city.

Of course, Zong Yanli was unable to touch the knife as he wished.

Pei Liang, Zhan Haoyue and others took turns playing chess with Zong Yanli to relieve his boredom, so that their chess skills improved by leaps and bounds during this period.

Sang Caijie brought back news from time to time that the Kingdom of Lu was doomed. Recently, the number of refugees in various towns and cities increased. Spies could sneak into the Kingdom of Lu without any trouble. He also brought back a lot of news for Zong Yanli. Many forces in the Kingdom of Lu fell apart, and the current dynasty was probably just an empty shell.

It was not known how Baines managed to stabilize the situation in the army, but he looked like a weakling.

Now Long Feiguang is just waiting for the most appropriate opportunity to capture Zhou County with the least amount of troops.

February two.

After a period of stable recuperation, Daqian finally ushered in the most appropriate opportunity. The unusual movements of the Lu army seemed to indicate internal separation. According to the news from the spies, the person who wanted to leave Lu was Quan Liangpeng who had defected to Baines.

Quan Liangpeng had come here to join the army, and he had no loyalty to either the State of Lu or the Baines. All he wanted was to find a way out.

Now seeing that the fate of Lu was over, he inadvertently learned that Benes had 'forged' the imperial edict to stabilize the army's morale. After the death of the king of Lu, there was no new king to take the throne. Naturally, he could no longer sit still, so he prepared to use the same old trick again and abandon his main general and flee.

Baines is not the Min Wenshan of the past. He had long anticipated that Quan Liangpeng might betray him, so how could he not be on guard at all?

So after noticing Quan Liangpeng's move, he secretly set up a killing array and would never let Quan Liangpeng escape from Zhou County at any cost.

Who knows whether Quan Liangpeng will turn against his allies and join Zong Yanli with the military secrets of the State of Lu?

Even though Benes anticipated that a battle with Zong Yanli would make it difficult for the State of Lu to resist, he definitely did not want to die at the hands of a traitor.

Since Quan Liangpeng has a rebellious heart, don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless!

"Quan Liangpeng is dead?" Therefore, when Zong Yanli received this news, he realized that the opportunity was not to be missed, and summoned Long Feiguang to immediately mobilize troops to attack the city!

"He is a treacherous man. How could Benes trust him wholeheartedly?" Pei Liang narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

Zong Yanli raised his eyes slightly without saying anything. Perhaps Baines had already made preparations for this from the beginning. Quan Liangpeng's death was not unjust at all.

Zong Yanli thought that he had to admire Baines' ruthless method, but it was a pity that since he did this, he gave Zong Yanli an opportunity to take advantage of.

The troops assembled and attacked the city.

When Baines in Zhoujun City heard the news, he was not surprised at all. He just sighed deeply, looked forward with deep eyes and whispered: "This day has finally come..."

He slowly stood up, lowered his eyes to adjust his armor, bent down to tighten the buckle of his cuffs, but failed to fasten the buckle several times. Seeing this, Yue Yuqi stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Baines fasten the buckle.

"Thank you..." Baines looked up at Yue Yuqi with a complicated look in his eyes.

"You're welcome, General." Yue Yuqi smiled slightly, seeming to be quite calm about the situation that was about to happen.

"The enemy has already attacked the city. If you leave now, you may still have a chance of survival." Baines said to Yue Yuqi.

"Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Although I am just a commoner, I have the ambition to serve my country." Yue Yuqi smiled and shook his head, leaning over to Baines and said, "General, you have been so kind to me. I am very happy to be able to assist you for half a year in this life."

“It’s a pity that I haven’t been praised by the world and my name has been recorded in history, but… I am not afraid of the difference between life and death.”

"I am willing to assist you on your last journey, and I will not regret my life."

Baines was deeply moved by Yue Yuqi's words. He immediately reached out to help Yue Yuqi up and sighed, "Sir..."

Baines took a deep breath, turned around and called out, "Bring me my weapon!"

"Order the entire army to defend the city gate!"

"This general will advance and retreat together with all the soldiers!"

"Yes!"

Fires of war are raging everywhere and drums of war are beating.

The siege horn sounded again. The Lu army had little defensive power. Although Zong Yanli was present at the battlefield, he did not join the battle. He sat on the general's platform in his military armor, squinting his eyes and watching the chariots rushing out from afar, and the overwhelming rain of arrows.

I listened to the military reports that came in one after another and saw the ladder that was climbed up to the top of the city wall of Zhoujun.

However, in just half a day, our soldiers had climbed up the city wall with the help of ladders. The gradually conquered city wall was only the first step.

The battering ram rushed forward, and finally, with the help of rounds of soldiers, it completely broke open the first city gate.

The cavalry rushed out of the battle formation and entered the city through the city gate...

"General, Zhoujun City has been broken." As the last military order was transmitted back, the expression on Zong Yanli's face eased slightly.
