"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Wei army's forward has arrived outside the city..."

"What!"

The sudden report made Zihe in Jicheng feel that everything was in chaos, but he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Father, he is indeed here."

After groaning, Zi Zhi's face on the side was full of gloom.

Ever since that day when he heard that his father and son and the envoy from Wei State had parted on bad terms and that the other party had walked away, Zizhi immediately realized that something was wrong.

Even though Jicheng is now under their control, 50,000 elite Wei troops are watching in the Zhongdu City dozens of miles away.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

When to take action is never decided by the fish and meat, but when the knife falls.

"Why did the State of Wei raise troops? I just had some disagreements with the envoys of Wei that day..." Zihe was somewhat reproachful as he spoke.

"Father." Zi Zhi really couldn't bear to listen, but the expression on his face became increasingly ugly, "Did Father think he could really be on an equal footing with Wei Guo?"

At this moment, Zi Zhi's heart was full of helplessness. Zi He before and after the rebellion really didn't seem like the same person.

He was cautious and planned carefully, for fear of making even the slightest mistake; he was arrogant and arrogant, and even dared to turn against his biggest supporter, Wei State.

How can a person undergo such a huge change in such a short period of time?

There was no time to think more, so he turned around and looked at Zi He, who was already silent at this time. A sudden decision came into Zi's heart.

"Father, now that the Wei army has arrived at the city, it is useless to say anything more."

Holding the hilt of the long sword at his waist, Zizhi said loudly: "I would also like to ask my father to go to the city wall to gain insight into the intentions of the Wei army and calm the hearts of our officers and soldiers."

"But……"

"What's there to lose?" He directly held Zihe, who was still hesitating, and said sternly: "Does it mean that my father wants to be dismembered and die without a burial place?"

Under the stern questioning of his son Zi Zhi, Zi He, who felt uneasy in his heart, finally climbed onto the wall of Jicheng.

With just one glance, Zihe felt a breath of cold air welling up from the bottom of his heart.

Once there are ten thousand people, the sky is boundless.

The originally empty wilderness outside the city was now occupied by masses of red. Under the strong wind, a Wei army flag whistled.

His left hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist. Zihe suppressed the worries in his heart and turned his eyes to Zizhi, who was half a step behind.

"The Wei army is so powerful that our army may not be able to defeat it."

"What my father said is true, we must not start a war." He also saw the Wei army's heavy military strength like a mountain, and he immediately bowed his hands and said, "My son is willing to go to the Wei camp on behalf of his father to prevent the two sides from fighting each other."

"It's all up to you."

On top of the city wall, the son and his father were extremely solemn in their hearts; under the city wall, the relationship between the Wei army general Sun Boling and the forward Gongsun Yan did not seem to have the slightest chill about the impending war.

Looking at the Jicheng city wall ahead, when he saw several figures appearing at the top of the city, a smile appeared on Sun Boling's face.

"But it's coming?"

Gongsun Yan looked at it and nodded immediately, "Report to Sima, that person is Zihe, but he ordered the army to attack the city immediately?"

"No." He raised his hand to stop Gongsun Yan, and Zihe's eyes were firmly fixed on the city head, "The ancestors' art of war has this saying: Therefore, the first is to attack the enemy with the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the second is to attack the city."

"Zihe seems to be in control of Jicheng, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging inside. Our army is arrayed here today not to attack the city, but to shock the hearts of Jicheng."

"If my prediction is correct, Jicheng will open its gates to our army without spending a single soldier after today."

Looking back at Gongsun Yan beside him, Sun Boling said in a relaxed tone: "Rhino Shou, are you willing to give me a try?"

"Since Sima is so elegant, Xishou should accompany him."

"good."

Putting back the smile on his face, Sun Boling ordered in a deep voice: "Send my order to the general, and all the soldiers in the army will camp on the spot."

"Here."

There was no worry that the Yan army in the city would leave the city for a sneak attack. At the order of General Sun Boling, a camp appeared outside Jicheng.

Although the Wei army showed no signs of attacking the city, their recent military strength was weighing on the minds of the Jicheng defenders at all times, forcing them not to relax even a little bit.

Just when the chill gradually enveloped the entire Jicheng due to the fall of night, an old friend reappeared in the Wei army's camp.

"Zizhi, pay your respects to Sima."

"snort!"

Facing Zi Zhi standing in front, Sun Boling, who was sitting in the chair, had not yet responded, but Gongsun Yan on the side responded with a cold voice.

It is obvious that this young Wei general at this time was not the Hexi general of the Qin State in history, and he had not forgotten Zihe's attitude towards him.

Feeling the completely different atmosphere from the previous one, especially the unkind look from the opposite side, Zi Zhi felt a pang of regret in his heart.

If he could have predicted this day, he would never have let his father meet the envoy of Wei alone.

However, the situation is stronger than the people. Now that the Wei army is approaching the city, I can only bite the bullet and face the ill will of the Wei army towards me.

"It was indeed my father who was rude that day and treated General Gongsun rudely. Today I will apologize to General Gongsun on behalf of my father and invite the general..."

"Wait a minute."

Gongsun Yan had no intention of accepting Zi Zhi's apology, "If Zi He was just rude to me, I would naturally accept your apology today."

"Is it just Zihe?"

The next moment, Gongsun Yan's tone suddenly became cold to the core, and his eyes became even more fierce, "No, he is not demonstrating to me, but to Wei."

"I don't know, how can you apologize?"

"No no no..."

Gongsun Yan's words immediately shocked Zi Zhi, and he almost blurted out his rebuttal words, "The general's words are serious, and my father never meant this."

"From the beginning to the end, we have been on the side of Wei. What happened before was just a slight misunderstanding. We are still willing to help Wei in the future. If..."

"No need."

Before Zi Zhi could continue, Sun Boling, who had not spoken for a long time, stopped him and said, "In the Yan Kingdom, your family is not the only one who can help me, the Great Wei."

"Come here, go and invite Mr. Si."

"Here."

After hearing Sun Boling's order, Zi Zhi was immediately shocked. He immediately thought of the fish that slipped through the net that his father mentioned to him not long ago.

Could it be that this fish that slipped through the net is now in the hands of Wei Jun?

Without letting Zi Zhi wait too much, a young man stepped into the tent under the guidance of a Wei soldier.

"Young Master of the State of Yan, Si, pays homage to the general."

Facing the other party's gaze towards him, especially the undisguised hostility in it, Zi Zhi immediately felt a chill in his heart.

"Danger!"
