Chapter 196: Dilemma

"Your Majesty, the Qi army withdrew from the Jingmen Gate. ”

Ye Qingchuan nodded after hearing this, and didn't seem surprised.

Ye Qinghui, who was on the side, praised quietly: "The king really expected things like a god, and he scared off the Qi army after only making a dispatch in Chudu. ”

Regarding Ye Qinghui's sycophancy, Ye Qingchuan only chuckled and said rationally: "Yi Feng didn't come to Jingmen in person, this is an opportunity. So it is not surprising that the retreat of the Qi army is not surprising. ”

Ye Qingchuan had never underestimated Yi Feng, but this time he may have overestimated Yi Feng. Although Yi Feng's letter has not yet been delivered, what Lin Haowen did coincided with the instructions in Yi Feng's letter. In other words, this time there is still Yi Feng behind the scenes, not Lin Haowen who has a high degree of command as Ye Qingchuan thought.

However, Yi Feng's wrong judgment is also understandable. As soon as he came, as Ye Qingchuan said, he did not come to Jingmen in person, and besides, who would have thought that Ye Qingchuan's letting go at this time would be a bluff. can only say that Ye Qingchuan acted in a good show.

However, this only solves the urgent need, but there is still a big mountain of Jingjun pressing on Ye Qingchuan's heart. After experiencing the slaughter of the city by Yuan Jie, the vitality of the Chu State was greatly damaged, whether it was against the Qi army or the Jing army, Ye Qingchuan was not pleased, and his current pretentious posture was just the last bluff.

Until now, if Ye Qingchuan still wants to keep the foundation of the Chu State, he has to find a way to seek opportunities from the gap between the two forces of the Qi Army and the Jing Army. Based on this, Ye Qingchuan asked, "Where is the Jing army now?"

Ye Qinghui said: "Approaching the gate of Jing, it will only be a three-day journey at most. ”

"Three days. Ye Qingchuan paced back and forth, and suddenly asked again: "What is the direction of the retreat of the Qi army?"

"Northwest. ”

"Where is the Jing army coming from?"

"Northwest. ”

Ye Qingchuan's eyes lit up when he heard Ye Qinghui's information, "Is there any possibility that they will meet?"

Ye Qinghui thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Theoretically, it should be possible." ”

Ye Qingchuan was puzzled, "What do you say?"

"The king comes with me. ”

Ye Qinghui led Ye Qingchuan to the map of Chu State, pointed to Tongguan Town, which was not far from Jingmen, and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the place where the Qi army may settle after withdrawing from Jingmen. ”

Moving his hand up a few more points, Ye Qinghui continued: "According to the information currently available, the Jing army is a little higher in Tongguan Town, but there is a possibility of going straight down. ”

In the end, Ye Qinghui concluded: "In other words, whether the Jing army will meet the Qi army depends on whether the Jing army will go to Tongguan Town to rest. ”

Ye Qingchuan stared down at the map, and after a long time, he asked, "Qinghui, if you were the general of the Jing Army, what would you do?"

"Take a rest and go straight to the Jing Gate. Ye Qinghui said.

"Go straight down to the Jing Gate. Ye Qingchuan muttered in a low voice, but he agreed with Ye Qinghui's idea. Because even if Jing Jun only wanted to escape back to Yasukuni through Mu Dao, but now they are making a momentum of seizing Chu Capital and fighting against Qiguo, but Ye Qingchuan feels that what Ye Qinghui said is more likely.

After guessing through the other party's way, Ye Qingchuan smiled bitterly, "If we can't let them meet in Tongguan Town, then we will be passive." ”

Judging from the current situation, it is necessary for Ye Qingchuan to force the Qijun to move. Otherwise, if the two armies of Qi and Jing meet at Jingmen, whether they fight or unite, it will be unfavorable to Chudu, who is close at hand.

However, if the Jing army bypassed Tongguan Town and went directly to the Jingmen Gate, it would be possible for the Qi army to sit and reap the benefits. Therefore, the best thing is to let them meet in Tongguan Town, and let Ye Qingchuan be the fisherman.

But judging from the analysis just now, Ye Qingchuan felt that what Ye Qinghui said was very reasonable. Although they guessed that the Jing army was suspected of attacking the west, but now that they had put on a posture of vowing to take the Chu capital, it was naturally more likely to go straight to the Jing Gate.

"Therefore, the key now is to lure the Jing army to Tongguan Town, so that they and the Qi army can consume each other. Ye Qingchuan made the final decision and said that it was a feasible plan for today.

The plan is a good plan, but it makes Ye Qinghui on the side frown. After all, although it is easy to say, the realization is not as simple as words.

"By the way, the thousand-year-old Ye Mansion is here again?" Ye Qingchuan suddenly asked.

In fact, since the last time Ye Qingchuan drove away Old Man Li, they have been waiting for the Millennium Ye Mansion to send people again, because even if they don't take into account the origin of Ye Qingchuan and the Millennium Ye Mansion, they also have to consider the advantageous geographical location of the Chu State, which can go straight to the advantageous geographical location of Yasukuni without any obstacles.

Since the current Millennium Ye Mansion wants to argue with the Three Emperors, it must thoroughly grasp all the opportunities that can attack the Three Emperors. Based on this, the state of Chu is an indispensable link for them to Yasukuni.

Therefore, Ye Qingchuan was angry last time, in addition to expressing his chest directly, he was also ready to knock on the lever. Moreover, Ye Qingchuan believed that this time the Ye Mansion would not send someone as arrogant as Old Man Li again.

And just now, Ye Qingchuan suddenly thought of making good use of the Millennium Ye Mansion to solve the current crisis, so he asked Ye Qinghui about the situation of the Millennium Ye Mansion.

Ye Qinghui said frankly: "The people of the Ye Mansion for a thousand years have already entered the Chu capital through Mu Dao, and now they are resting in the restaurant in the Chu capital. At the end, Ye Qinghui also asked, "Does the king want to see him?"

"Naturally. Ye Qingchuan said: "Whether we can break the deadlock in front of us depends on the people sent by the Ye Mansion for thousands of years." ”

When Ye Qinghui heard this, he let out a soft "oh", but he didn't seem to be very interested.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qingchuan noticed Ye Qinghui's abnormality.

Ye Qinghui only shook his head and did not say anything.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Qingchuan seemed to understand Ye Qinghui's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will go back to the Thousand Year Ye Mansion?"

Ye Qinghui raised his head suddenly, not surprised but asked, "You won't go back." Right?"

Or he didn't expect Ye Qinghui to have such a big reaction, Ye Qingchuan couldn't help but be taken aback. However, he didn't blame Ye Qinghui, but patted Ye Qinghui on the shoulder and said, "Of course." ”

"And don't worry, I've always seen the relationship with them clearly. Moreover, after the matter of Old Man Li, they couldn't tolerate the two of us. Now that they are low-spirited because they are profitable on us, why don't we take advantage of them as well?"

In fact, after hearing Ye Qingchuan say "of course", Ye Qinghui was already relieved. For Ye Qingchuan's later explanation, he just took it as a plan.

Ye Qingchuan wrapped his coat, "So, it's time for us to meet this new person sent by the thousand-year-old Ye Mansion, isn't it?"

When Ye Qinghui accompanied Ye Qingchuan to meet the people sent by the Ye Mansion for a thousand years, Wang Yun and Luo Jin in the Jing army were also discussing the next countermeasures.

"At this point, go all out, and you can get to the gate of Jing in less than two days, and it will be clear at a glance whether you are fighting or fleeing. Luo Jin's finger slid straight down the map,

Expressing the most direct view in his heart.

Wang Yun was cautious by nature, but said: "Yes, yes, but have you ever thought about rushing all the way down to the Jingmen Gate, if the Chu army suddenly attacks under the lack of people and horses, what should we do?"

"This ......" Luo Jin was dumbfounded by the question, but he said stiffly: "Maybe the Chu army didn't dare to attack? You must know that they had just fought with the Yasukuni Western Army led by Yuan Jie before, and compared with Qiguo, Chu suffered more losses. ”

After speaking, Luo Jin secretly said "not good", and took advantage of the afterglow to peek, and found that Wang Yun really looked abnormal as he thought.

Knowing that his words just now poked Wang Yun's sore spot, Luo Jin said sincerely: "I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine. Wang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What you said is right, Yuan Jie did give Chu Jun a hard blow." ”

The tone contains regret and reminiscence, and resentment that cannot be forgotten.

After speaking, Wang Yun's words changed and said: "However, we can't use this to gamble on our life and death now. ”

"What do you mean?" Luo Jin asked.

"Nurture your spirit and move forward slowly. Wang Yun said: "I have a hunch that we may not be able to walk Mu Dao, so it's better not to be too anxious." ”

Luo Jin raised his eyebrows, "Because of the Millennium Ye Mansion?"

In the past few days, they have also obtained some information bit by bit, and they also know about the defeat of the Three Emperors by the Thousand Year Ye Mansion and the Eight Emperors Kingdom.

Wang Yun nodded in affirmation of Luo Jin's thoughts, and said, "Mu Guo belongs to one of the Eight Emperors, and we may have difficulty going back by borrowing Mu Dao. Moreover, Ye Qingchuan of the Chu State seems to have some relationship with the thousand-year-old Ye Mansion. ”

Luo Jin didn't expect things to become so complicated now, and said with a sad face: "Originally, I planned to attack Chudu, and then I transferred to Mu Dao, so I could easily get out of danger." Now it seems that this Mu Dao is not easy to go. ”

"Or, we may have to cross the state of Chu to return to Jing. Wang Yun added.

"Crossing!" Luo Jin jumped up instantly, "Let's not talk about whether the Chu army will give us a knife in the back, just those dart sects in the Chu State, crossing the Chu State will not be annoyed to death by them." ”

Wang Yun spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.

"Report!"

While Wang Yun was talking to Luo Jin, a Jingjun spy ran over.

"Qi Qi two generals, there are traces of those Dart Sect sect activities in front of you. ”

"This group of beam-jumping clowns is simply ghostly. Luo Jin fled in an instant and scolded.

However, Wang Yun was still quite calm, and asked, "Or the previous batch of people, how many arrows do we have?"

Fighting alone, the Jing Army may not be the opponent of those combined Dart sects, so they have always relied on overwhelming arrows to deter each other. But after a few waves, even if there was recovery afterwards, the arrows still lost a lot, so Wang Yun's opening was the most critical problem.

"General Qiyu, by now, it should have consumed one-eighth of the amount. The spy thought about it and gave a more general figure.

"One in eight. Wang Yun muttered softly, thinking that he had lost so much in just a few battles with that gang of rabble, not to mention that he might face off against the Chu army later. This situation is extremely unoptimistic.

"I'm afraid of a bird, so if I can't do it, I'll fight them. Luo Jin was a little dissatisfied with Wang Yun's foresight, and shouted directly.

Wang Yun ignored this tendonous kid and said to the spy, "Take me to see it." ”
