(I recently changed my job and was very busy, so the update has slowed down! Sorry!)

Zhuge Ming was eventually convinced by Zhou Can, so the two began to discuss specific matters of breaking through.

It is said that it is a detailed discussion and strategy, but in the general environment of the Wei army besieging the city, the Qi army's breakthrough can only be simple and crude.

First of all, Zhou Can didn’t plan to break through, so he directly chose to break eastward, where the main force of the Qi army was.

Zhuge Ming had no objection to this, and it would be the same for him to break through in any direction, so Zhou Can also take charge of the operation.

During the siege of the city for more than half a month, Zhuge Ming, who was born in a noble family, was still much worse than Zhou Can in terms of pressure resistance, so Zhou Can led the action.

April 18th, early morning, the tenth year of the Marquis of Wei.

Last night, the Qi army ordered the people of Shandong in the city to inform them that the whole war was strictly prohibited from appearing in the streets and those who violated the situation immediately were executed.

Anyone here includes the nobles in the Qufu Forbidden City, including the king Ji Mi.

The Qi army was in the city of Qufu and the people of Qufu naturally had no chance of disobedience. Therefore, the entire Qufu turned into a ghost city in the morning of the next day, and no one could see it.

This condition greatly facilitated the evacuation of the Qi army. Under the arrangement of alternate cover, more than 15,000 Qi army retreated from Qufu City within one hour.

At this time, outside Qufu City, the sky was still dark, and there was heavy fog covering it, so it was a good time to evacuate.

But there is also a problem hidden. Although this condition is difficult to detect, it also increases the difficulty of the Qi army marching.

In this case, the large group of people is likely to fall behind, and it is very likely to get lost.

Walking in the morning mist, even if there are the carefully selected Lu people leading the way ahead, Zhou Can and the others are still hanging in their hearts.

They left the city with light clothes, and except for the necessary armor and weapons, they only brought dry food for two days. If they were discovered and bitten by the Wei army, they would be in trouble.

Especially in the absence of light, if a cavalry of the Wei army charges, the entire Qi army may be destroyed and dispersed.

Everyone was asked to shut up, but Zhou Can and Zhuge Ming were no longer among them. They needed to communicate at all times to coordinate the entire army.

The two were riding on horses, and at this time they were in the front of the army. Zhou Can had a solemn expression at this time, as if he was facing a great enemy.

On the contrary, Zhuge Ming next to him smiled slightly at this moment and said, "Don't be so nervous. Since they have left the city, there will be no turning back... At worst, they will fail to break through and we both die!"

When Zhou Can heard Zhuge Ming say this, he seemed even more irritable at this time. He wanted to slash the other person with one knife.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Can's face was angry, Zhuge Ming then closed his mouth. After all, he also hoped to survive. Interference between Zhou Can would only really take his life.

Just groping like this, Qi army quickly moved away from Qufu city.

Along the way, the Qi army was extremely lucky and no trace of the Wei army was found. Until the sky was completely dawn, they were ten miles away from Qufu.

All of them have come here. Strictly speaking, the Qi army has already jumped out of the Wei army's encirclement.

But the calm along the way also made Zhou Can feel at ease. How could the Wei army be so careless? He didn't even notice a Wei army.

"It's strange...how could it be so simple that I came out?" Zhuge Ming said, and at this time he was excited and worried.

But Zhou Can did not dare to be careless, and only heard him say, "Don't let go. The Wei people have always been insidious and cunning, so maybe they set up traps in front of them!"

Although this was not nice, Zhuge Ming also heard it. He was not a fool and knew that Wei Jun was very difficult to deal with.

So, after a brief discussion, the two arranged their teams to alternately cover and move forward, and put the entire army on high alert, although they were preparing to deal with the Wei army's assault.

It’s no wonder Zhou Can is too worried. In this foggy environment, even if a large number of scouts are scattered, it is difficult to cover everything.

Walking in the wilderness, there were still no trace of the Wei army along the way. Instead, several families of Lu people who had not fled were found, and they were all tied up by the Qi army.

Originally, Zhou Can thought that when he and others would return home in such a calm situation, they found a large number of corpses in the mountains.

Among these corpses were both soldiers from Wei, but more were soldiers from Qi.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Can and the others suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that the two armies fought?

"I have never found a Wei army all the way today. Could it be that those Wei army have sent to fight?" Zhuge Ming said so.

Zhou Can said nothing, which was indeed a relatively convincing explanation.

"The Wei army has always been insidious and cunning, but this time it doesn't care about our army. If it really starts a big battle with our army, it means that they will definitely lack military strength, so they will draw all the troops to go!" Zhou Can said after thinking.

Zhuge Ming had no time to listen to Zhou Can analyze the situation at this time. He finally got here, so he should hurry up now.

So Zhuge Ming said, "Let's not make random guesses here. Since our army has restrained the Wei army, now is a good time for us to escape from the enemy's encirclement. Let's retreat quickly!"

Just as Zhuge Ming was planning to bypass the corpse in front and let the army continue to move forward, Zhou Can stopped him.

Zhuge Ming couldn't help but be stunned. Zhou Can had never treated him like this.

Then Zhuge Ming asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Canze said: "Now the Wei army is in short supply. Our army and the Wei army are fighting fiercely. This is a good time for us to take action!"

Zhuge Ming was shocked by Zhou Can's thoughts, and even made him speechless for a moment.

Zhuge Ming's first idea was to object, because Zhou Can's idea was too whimsical.

Then he heard Zhuge Ming say, "Old Zhou, you and I have also experienced the friendship between life and death, so I just said something..."

"Do you think our defeated soldier can still take the initiative to fight?"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Ming continued: "In the past half month, our army and the Wei army have had a series of battles, and their morale is depressed... Why are they fighting?"

Zhuge Ming said this, but Zhou Can was still unwilling to accept it.

Since the Wei army has allocated all the troops to monitor Qufu, it means that the Wei army is at its peak. If they join the battle at this time, it may change the situation.

The reason why Zhou Can thinks this is because he is eager to make contributions and is trapped in Qufu and has made no achievements. Zhou Can feels that he has no face to go back and is exempted from prosecution of the king.

Therefore, even though Zhuge Ming expressed his opposition, Zhou Can still said: "General Zhuge, if he returns to Qi like this and Ren Guojun leads the main army to fight against the Wei people, do you think we can still gain a foothold in Qi?"

This really hit Zhuge Ming's heart. It's true that he was born in a noble family, but there are competition within the noble family. I wonder how many people in Linzi are waiting to see him laugh at him.

Zhuge Ling, the Zhuge family now has become the top leader in the aristocratic race, so they are naturally easily jealous.

So, after thinking for a while, Zhuge Ming said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll do it with you this time!"

Zhuge Ming's answer was actually beyond Zhou Can's expectations.

He already had plans. If Zhuge Ming disagreed, he would lead his troops to place an order.

But Zhuge Ming agreed naturally, so Zhou Can said, "Okay... this time, we will do a big vote!"
