On the night of September 28, when Li He brought Liang Ji to Old Liang, Li He and Wang Zheng and Yin Qi held a meeting at the Xicheng Gate Tower.

According to what Li He learned from Yin Qi and Wang Zheng, there were originally only more than 500 regular soldiers in the Old Liang City, but it was also a blessing that the Qin general Miao Lin and Ji Liang, who led their troops here, did not know the facts of the Old Liang, or had not received the order from Ying Qian to attack the Old Liang. Otherwise, the Old Liang would probably be unable to resist it with just one wave of attack.

No wonder the alarm bell of the old Liang was ringing at that time, and hurriedly sent someone to ask Shao Liang for help, and invited Wang Zheng and 20,000 new soldiers.

And these 20,000 new soldiers were almost the last force of Shao Liang.

"Wang Siko, what should Fan Pang do?"

After listening to Wang Zheng’s story, Li He asked about Fanpang.

Fanpang is located on the northeast side of the old Liang, near the river. The nearby terrain is very similar to Dongliang. It is known as the only Jinkou of Shaoliang, which is the only two-part Jinkou of Shaoliang, the Qin army. If this city is captured by the Qin army, the only remaining connection between Shaoliang and Wei will be cut off. Unless Wei sends troops to help Shaoliang regain Fanpang, Shaoliang will no longer be expected to receive assistance from Wei, and Shaoliang itself has almost no spare energy to regain Fanpang.

Hearing Li He's inquiry, Wang Zheng explained: "Before I led my army to come, I sent three thousand new soldiers to Sima Zhuo and urged Doctor Sima to strengthen his defense..."

Sima Zhuo, a major doctor in Fanpang, was born in the Sima family, a native clan with a long history in Shaoliang. The history of this clan's life in Shaoliang can even be traced back to the Liang Dynasty. It is older than the Wang and Zhai clans. It is one of the most trusted clans in Shaoliang. When Liang Ji went to Fanpang to inspire the people, Li He also met the Sima doctor. At that time, he felt that the Sima doctor had a deep affection for Shaoliang and was not affected by the Zhai Ying's clan at all.

The question is, Wang Zheng only sent three thousand new soldiers to Fanpang? How did Sima Zhuo defend Fanpang?

Having said that, Li He did not question Wang Zheng's judgment. After all, compared to Fanpang, the old Liang was closer to the front line. Moreover, once the old Liang was captured, the Qin army could march straight into the attack of Shaoliang. Therefore, Wang Zheng naturally had to deploy heavy troops in the old Liang, borrow the old Liang, and resist the Qin army with the Qingshui River.

As for Fanpang, like Dongliang, it is a city that can be abandoned when necessary, but it and Dongliang are the only two ferry crossings of Shaoliang Kingdom. If both places are lost, Shaoliang will not expect to get help from Wei Kingdom.

After a moment of silence, Li He asked Wang Zheng: "Can the arms and grain provided by Wei have been transported to?"

Wang Zheng nodded and said, "I transported it to Fanpang two days ago. I asked Sima Zhuo to keep it myself. There were not many things. There were only three thousand people's equipment and five hundred crossbows. However, there were a lot of food. I asked him to transport some of them at least the beam..."

Strictly speaking, the weapons and equipment of Wei State to aid Shaoliang are actually quite small, but compared with the 200,000 Qin troops, the equipment that can only arm 3,000 people seems insignificant.

"What are the weapons and equipment of the new soldiers brought by Wang Siko?"

"this……"

Facing Li He's question, Wang Zheng also showed a troubled look and finally told the truth after a while.

It turned out that the 20,000 new soldiers he brought to the old beam this time, only more than 3,000 were equipped with weapons and armor. Other soldiers could only hold bamboo poles and wooden guns, let alone armor.

But even these have emptied the entire Shaoliang warehouse.

Although Li He also understood the situation of Shaoliang State, he still believed that Shaoliang should vigorously develop its own smelting and construction technology and must not wait for Wei State to provide assistance - the same is true for food and other aspects.

However, he could only wait until he repelled the Qin army before making plans.

After thinking for a while, Li He clasped his fists to Yin Qi and Wang Zheng and said, "Tomorrow, please ask the two soldiers in the city to summon the soldiers in the name of Shaojun to encourage the war. Today, I have carefully observed the Qin army in the Weishui area. The Qin army there is only about 30,000 to 50,000, and the old Liang has 20,000 new soldiers. As long as they can arouse their fighting spirit to defend their country, they will not be unable to defeat the Qin army."

With just under 20,000 training for less than a month, new soldiers who have never set foot on the battlefield and have not even been fully equipped with weapons and equipment, will have the chance to defeat the fully armed Qin army of 30,000 to 50,000?

Seeing Li He telling with a calm expression, Yin Qi, Wang Zheng couldn't help but look at each other.

However, when he thought of Dongliang's current situation, the old and the young were relieved.

After all, compared to the old Liang, Dongliang's situation is even more dangerous. It has been holding on to 200,000 Qin troops until today!

Thinking of this, Yin Qi and Wang Zheng both nodded: "Okay!"

The next day, Wang Zheng ordered the defenders in the city to be summoned inside and outside the inner wall on the south side in the name of "Young Master is going to be an inspiration before the war."

I have to say that compared with the 200,000 Qin army, 20,000 new soldiers in the old Liang City didn't sound anything at first, but when Li He brought Liang Ji to the inner wall on the south side and looked at the inner city and the outer city with his own eyes, he saw that the streets and alleys of the inner city and the outer city were squeezed by the 20,000 new soldiers.

"Shaojun!"

"Shaojun!"

They shouted at Shaojun neatly, and the sounds echoed throughout the city. Even Liang Ji knew that the soldiers below were Shaoliang men who supported her, but she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Seeing this, Li He whispered and encouraged: "These are warriors who are willing to sacrifice for Shaoliang and for you. You don't have to be afraid of them, just like when they were in Dongliang before..."

"Um."

Under the surprise of Yin Qi and Wang Zheng, Liang Ji, dressed in military uniform, nodded, and walked to the wall with a breath, shouting to the outer city where there were more new soldiers: "My Shaoliang warriors, I am Ji Ying..."

"Whoa whoa--"

The new soldiers gathered in the outer city immediately cheered.

Perhaps they could not see the petite Liang Ji clearly. Even except for a small part ahead, most people might not even hear Liang Ji's shouting, but this did not affect everyone's excitement at all. They raised their arms and shouted "Shao Jun", but they did not stop for a long time.

The same is true for the new soldiers huddled in the inner city.

Liang Ji could only raise her hands and shout repeatedly: "Please listen to me, please listen to me..."

After dozens of breaths, Liang Ji's desire was conveyed to the hearts of the new soldiers in the inner and outer cities. Only then did they gradually calm down and wait for Liang Ji's speech.

Seeing this, Liang Ji said loudly according to what Li He taught: "I came to Old Liang this time, not because I abandoned the soldiers of Dongliang. I came here this time to inspire you. After things are done, I will return to Dongliang! ... My Dongliang is still holding on! Under the fierce attack of 200,000 Qin troops day after day, my Dongliang is still holding on!"

“…”

“…”

The outer city and inner city were silent, and most people showed an incredible look.

They didn't think so much before, but they were just happy to see Liang Ji. Only a small number of people had doubts: Why did Shaojun come to Old Liang? Could it be that Dongliang was lost? Where are Dongliang Jun, Zhai Sima and others?

But now Liang Ji told them that Dongliang City is still sticking to it... Take it seriously?

Everyone knows that Dongliang City is surrounded by 200,000 Qin troops!

Just as the soldiers below were surprised, Liang Ji shouted again: "As you think, the war in Dongliang is very difficult. After several sieges, the soldiers in the city have dropped sharply from more than 24,000 to less than 10,000 now, but no one is depressed, because Dongliang made the Qin army suffer three times the casualties!... The sacrifice of each Dongliang soldier took away at least three Qin soldiers!... But even so, the battle situation is still very difficult. When I came, my Dongliang had lost the southern wall and the Qin army had already attacked the outer city. When the battle situation was the most unfavorable, the Xicheng Gate and the Dongcheng Gate were also lost one after another.

The entire Dongliang was once occupied by the Qin army... But my soldiers of Dongliang still did not give up and lost the city walls. They built defenses in the streets and alleys in the city, and continued to resist the Qin army with the streets and defenses. During the daytime, we could not resist the Qin army's offensive and had to watch the positions everywhere fall. Then we launched a raid at night and took back the positions that were lost in Baizhou... It was in this extremely bad situation that my soldiers of Dongliang fought against the Qin army's attack and fought bravely at night to regain the lost positions. Therefore, at this moment, I, Ji Ying, can proudly tell you here..."

Perhaps because she thought of the sacrificed soldiers of Dongliang, her eyes became wet, and then she shed two tears. She breathed a deep breath, with a little choking, and shouted in a louder voice than before: "I, Dongliang, are still holding onto it-!!"

There was silence below.

It was not until four or five breaths that the outer city and the inner city burst into extremely loud cheers, especially the soldiers who heard Liang Ji's shouting with their own ears, and the shouting was even louder, as if the fighting spirit in their hearts was ignited by the tenacity of the Dongliang defenders.

"Shaojun, it seems to be becoming more brave and stronger..."

On the city wall, Yin Qi stroked his beard and observed Liang Ji with great interest, and whispered to Wang Zheng beside him.

Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "After all, that's in Dongliang..."

He turned to look at the new men in the outer city and listened to the overwhelming cheers below.

He could understand the excitement of these soldiers at this moment. Not to mention them, he heard Li He personally talk about the fierce battle in Dongliang last night, and he couldn't help but be inspired to be excited and wished to fight with the Qin army immediately.

Yes, Dongliang City is still stubbornly holding on with the pressure of 200,000 Qin troops. What reason do they have to retreat?

At this time, Liang Ji's slightly distorted shouts sounded again on the city wall: "... Please help me, guard the old Liang, guard Shaoliang, and together with the soldiers of Dongliang, drive the Qin army that invaded my Shaoliang out of our country!"

"Whoa whoa--!"

These words aroused the fighting spirit of countless soldiers in the outer city and the inner city. Not to mention these soldiers, even the people in the city who were huddled on the streets with the soldiers, who were originally just to see Liang Ji, were also excited by Liang Ji's words.

"Shao Jun! Shao Jun!"

"Shaoliang! Shaoliang!"

Thousands of old Liang soldiers and civilians shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, shouted, "Shaoliang".

However, Liang Ji seemed to think it was not enough, and secretly learned a slogan from Li He: "The Qin people, never think about being in Shaoliang, shout long live!"

"Whoa whoa--!!"

The morale in the city reached its peak in an instant.

At the same time, Qin general Miao Lin climbed onto the loess plateau where Li He and others looked at the old Liang and the Qin army yesterday, looked at the direction of the old Liang with confusion, and listened to the overwhelming cheers in the old Liang city.

"What happened in the city...?"

He murmured with a confused look on his face.
