"Report! The Qi army circled around Songshan, fought back through Liuli River, and is now heading towards Fuzi Mountain."

Yao Chuguang is back!

That woman is back again!

Zhou Ze stared at the soldier who came to report with bloodshot eyes. This could no longer be considered a provocation, it was a naked insult.

Madman! Yao Chuguang is a complete madman.

What does she want to do? She wants to tie down his 200,000-strong army with only 10,000 soldiers!

All of Zhou Ze's judgments and decisions were based on how to escape the encirclement.

But who would have thought that Yao Chuguang never thought of escaping and actually dared to confront him head-on.

If we start from an offensive perspective, then all of Yao Chuguang's routes can be traced.

Could it be that Yao Chuguang wanted to rely on his mere 10,000 troops to fight him here? The news from his subordinates said that Yao Chuguang and his 10,000 troops had almost devoured all of Songshan.

Now that there is no food, are we going to give up our lives and continue to eat grass roots and tree bark?

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze instantly remembered Yao Chuguang's plan. She was planning to wait out the barbarians until they retreated, and then he would be the one being attacked from both inside and outside.

Zhou Ze knew that he couldn't go on like this, he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Blocking the main intersection as before was simply not feasible, and that crazy woman Yao Chuguang never thought of going out.

Zhou Ze was furious and ordered, "Mobilize all the troops and surround Fuzi Mountain!"

If Yao Chuguang is allowed to be defeated again this time, he will become a laughing stock in the world!

This time Zhou Ze decided to take command personally. He wanted to make sure Yao Chuguang had no chance of escaping.

On his way to Fuzi Mountain, Zhou Ze received news from the front: "Another attack by the Qi army near Liuli River!"

This time, no one believed what Zhou Ze said. Yao Chuguang must have discovered that he had dispatched a large army to surround Fuzi Mountain.

If he succeeds in surrounding them, Yao Chuguang will have no way to retreat, and he will definitely have to deliberately create a feint attack.

Pretending that the main force was near Liuli River, they wanted to divert his attention.

Didn’t Yao Chuguang send a few small teams to pretend to attack first, and then let the main force show up after he transferred his troops away?

As Zhou Ze expected, there were reports of ambushes and attacks from other places.

Zhou Ze was even more certain that Yao Chuguang must be hiding in Fuzi Mountain, and the attacks in other places were just a cover to divert his attention.

Yao Chuguang received a report from a spy that the Western Border Army was rushing towards Fuzi Mountain with all its might. Everything was as expected.

"Build a bridge!" Yao Chuguang's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the entire river bank.

In an instant, people gathered from all directions and the soldiers moved quickly and orderly.

The movements were skillful and quick, after all, they had walked back and forth on this river several times.

The hemp rope was pulled up, the bamboo raft was built, and a simple bamboo bridge quickly took shape on both sides of the river.

The command was given: "Cross the river."

The army crossed the river quickly and in an orderly manner. At the same time, Zhou Ze, who arrived at Fuzi Mountain, was dumbfounded.

At the same time, Zhou Ze, who came to Fuzi Mountain, was dumbfounded.

He looked around, but could not see any trace of Qi Jun, let alone Yao Chuguang.

A sense of unease welled up in him, as if something was happening that he was completely unaware of.

At this time, Zhou Ze's spies came running in to report: "Report! The Qi army has crossed the Liuli River and arrived at Moshi Mountain."

Zhou Ze's head buzzed and he knew it was over.

Having been tricked by Yao Chuguang again, Zhou Ze shouted angrily, "Go after them!"

Yao Chuguang had no supplies, and in such a high-intensity battle, he didn't believe that Yao Chuguang could escape his pursuit and successfully run to the border by just eating grass roots.

Yao Chuguang took a deep breath and slowly drew out her sword.

The sword's edge flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if announcing the start of the battle.

"Kill your way out for me!" Yao Chuguang's voice echoed on Moshi Mountain, like thunder exploding in the sky.

At the command, Moshi Mountain instantly boiled over.

The shouts and sounds of weapons clashing intertwined into a tragic war song that resounded through the night sky.

The battle unfolded in the night, the firelight illuminated the faces of the soldiers, sweat and blood intertwined, dyeing the land red.

Finally, they broke out of the Western Border Army's encirclement.

After fighting their way out of Moshi Mountain, they did not dare to stop for a moment and kept on going. When they were thirsty, they drank river water and dew, and when they were hungry, they chewed tree roots.

It can be said that wherever Yao Chuguang's team passed, it was like a swarm of locusts, leaving no grass behind!

General Park's face turned pale as he walked up to Yao Chuguang and said, "Your Majesty! If this continues, the soldiers won't be able to hold on any longer. How about we slow down a bit?"

Yao Chuguang shook his head and said, "We can't slow down. Send the order for everyone to speed up. I have arranged for people to meet us in front."

Yao Chuguang said confidently, "Trust me, I've made all the arrangements as usual. Go ten kilometers ahead, and I'll have plenty of food and supplies there."

As soon as these words were spoken, morale was instantly boosted. What people fear most is losing hope. Seeing that they are only a little bit away from success, no one will give up.

Human potential is unlimited, and it can always be stimulated at the moment of life and death.

No one questioned the truthfulness of Yao Chuguang's words, and her words never fell through.

As night falls, the stars hide behind dark clouds and the sky and the earth are pitch black.

Yao Chuguang and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies and marched forward day and night.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the distant mountains, like a beacon in the darkness.

The lights slowly approached, the sky and the earth connected, and under the starry sky, a person was alone, holding a lantern and gazing out.

The figure gradually became clear, it was An Tian!

Yao Chuguang felt relieved. As early as when Yao Chuguang decided to stay in Yundu City as bait, he had already arranged for An Tian to leave the palace secretly.

An Tian is in charge of the food and fodder business, so naturally he has to go ahead and stock up on food and fodder for the escape route.

Otherwise, even if they tried their best to escape, they would still die without taking any medicine.

An Tian stood on the top of the mountain holding a lantern, looking into the distance.

Yao Chuguang quickened her pace. Seeing An Tian waiting for her here meant that her plan was successful.

When Yao Chuguang finally came in front of An Tian, he stopped and their eyes met in the night. No words were needed, everything was implied.

An Tian looked at Yao Chuguang, who was covered in mud, with sunken cheeks and a much thinner figure, and said with concern: "You have lost a lot of weight."

"Just come back after a few days to eat. It's not advisable to stay here for long!" Yao Chuguang's voice was hoarse and powerful.

An Tian nodded, picked up the lantern and walked ahead.

Yao Chuguang and his soldiers followed closely behind. Under the starry sky, their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, and the lamp swayed in the wind.

The sound of porcelain breaking echoed in the empty tent, one after another.

Zhou Ze's face turned ashen, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His eyes darted around the tent, as if searching for someone to vent his anger on, but in the end he could only lower his head helplessly.

"Why? Why?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was questioning what went wrong.

After chasing for such a long time without sleep, they still couldn't even catch up with the Qi army.

Zhou Ze's heart was filled with frustration, and his anger was like a volcano about to erupt, which could swallow everything at any time.

Zhou Ze paced back and forth, feeling restless, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on his heart.

As if the situation wasn't bad enough, the spy's voice once again broke the silence in the tent: "Report! Our food supply route has been controlled."

Zhou Ze's body shook violently. Was his escape route blocked?

A flash of panic flashed across Zhou Ze's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

Zhou Ze questioned, "Hasn't the Qi army already blown up the road leading to the western border? Could they just appear out of thin air?"

No one could answer Zhou Ze's question, and the atmosphere in the tent was so heavy that it almost froze.

Zhou Ze's heart was filled with despair. He felt like he was trapped in a huge net and could not escape no matter how hard he struggled.

Apparently this was not enough, as bad news came one after another.

A blood-soaked scout rushed into the tent, his voice trembling: "Report! A large force of Qi troops has been spotted attacking us from the front."

Zhou Ze's mind buzzed, and only one thought remained in his mind: "It's over! It's all over!"

Zhou Ze's eyes were filled with disbelief, and his body swayed and he almost fell.

Only now did Zhou Ze realize that all this was a trap set by Yao Chuguang.

He lost!

Fu Hongxuan completed the handover with Yao Chuguang in an orderly manner and began to gather troops to encircle and suppress the Western Border Army.

Now the offensive and defensive positions have changed, and it is his Western Border Army that should flee.

The night before departure, Yao Chuguang told Fu Hongxuan about the bait plan.

After Zhou Ze learned that the Qi army had explosives, he thickened the city wall several times overnight.

The reason why Yao Chuguang was able to easily capture the cities of the Western Zhou Dynasty was mainly because he took the enemy by surprise.

The Western Frontier is now on high alert, and it will be extremely difficult to attack the next self-sufficient city.

What's more, the western border is located at the border with Yan State.

If a war breaks out, the barbarians and the State of Yan will not sit idly by and watch the State of Qi successfully conquer the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing that the Western Territory can no longer hold on, they will definitely come and cause trouble.

If we fail to capture the western border, we will have to run around on both sides.

Since it is difficult to attack the western border, we should find a way to get Zhou Ze out. Without strong city walls, we can easily capture him by attacking from both sides.

At that time, Yao Chuguang said that she had a way to make Zhou Ze, who was hiding in his shell, run out by himself.

Fu Hongxuan also laughed at Yao Chuguang for being a dreamer. How could Zhou Ze be so stupid as to seek death?

Yao Chuguang blinked and said mysteriously, "If one day you see a woman named Lin Wan in the military camp, it means that this plan has begun to be implemented."

The night before the explosives were ignited, Lin Wan avoided everyone and came to Fu Hongxuan's military tent.

Lin Wan took off his hood and looked at Fu Hongxuan and said, "I am Lin Wan, and the plan has begun."

Fu Hongxuan was silent for a long time before swearing through gritted teeth, "That's really crazy."

Lin Wan ignored him and continued to speak, "Your teacher Yan Mingzhe has taken control of the Yan family. Is he trustworthy?"

Fu Hongxuan shook his head and said, "There's no such thing as trust or distrust. According to the plan, we should first break up the army into small groups and hide them deep in the mountains."

Lin Wan nodded and said, "An Tian has already transported all the food and supplies to the designated location."

Yao Chuguang buried both obvious and hidden plots in this expedition.

The open line is led by Fu Hongxuan as the commander, Liu Shu as the quartermaster, and they lead Li Yinhan and a group of generals to attract the attention of outsiders with great fanfare.

Whatever Yao Chuguang does in the open is what she wants others to see, but it is not her real purpose.

The secret line was led by her personally, with An Tian as the quartermaster, secretly planning and mobilizing the army.

What Yao Chuguang said in his previous life was very reasonable. When the benefits are 20%, people will become eager to take action.

When the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks.

When the interests reach 100%, they dare to trample on all laws, morals and integrity in the world.

When the profit reaches 300%, there is nothing to fear even in the face of death.

If Yao Chuguang wanted Zhou Ze to come out on his own initiative, he had to let Zhou Ze see the 300% benefit.

Without the protection of a large army and with the roads blown up, no one could come to rescue Yundu City.

At that moment, it seemed as if God had given all the advantages to the Western Territory, and Zhou Ze was stunned by this unexpected blessing.

As long as he could capture Yao Chuguang, Zhou Ze could easily take over Western Zhou and Qi.

No one can resist this temptation, and he has an army of 200,000, so he still can't capture Yao Chuguang.

Such a good opportunity is right in front of Zhou Ze, he just needs to take a little risk.

That is to walk out of the Western Territory, out of the wall that he had spent so much energy to build, his protective shell.

As long as we step out and lead the army to Yundu City, everything will be within our reach!

He could instantly turn the tables, unify the Central Plains, and become the emperor!
