Taean County.

Tan Feng slowly tore the report he had just received into pieces, then tore the crumbs, and swept his hand, and the confetti flew throughout the room, like snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, if you don't listen to my advice, you will end up like this." Tan Feng was stunned, looking up to the sky and sighing. Although Zhou Yu has parted ways with him since he killed Yan King Ji Ling, and has not been in contact with him for many years, Tan Feng thinks that he does not have anything to be sorry for Zhou Yu, on the contrary, if he hadn't made a quick decision to kill Ji Ling back then, now he and Zhou Yu are afraid that they are already a pile of white bones.

Although Zhou Yu cut off his robe and broke off his righteousness, but deep down in his heart, Tan Feng still regarded Zhou Yu as his only remaining friend, Zhou Yu is the kind of person who is extremely square, and what he has decided will go on, he is also the person Tan Feng is willing to believe, because he will not betray himself.

"General Tan!" Sima Yan stepped into the door, "The army has almost swept through Tai'an, and all the food, property, and Ding Zhuang that can be taken away are ready." ”

Tan Feng nodded, "We should also go, the Han cavalry Guli has appeared in Tai'an, and Chen Bin's department has also marched from Yingchuan to Tai'an, here, we can't stay any longer." Is there any news from Yin Cuo? ”

"Yin Cuo sent people back to say that there is no defense on which side of Jiaocheng in Chu State, Jiaocheng is only defended by about 3,000 local guards, and General Yin has sent about 500 elites to infiltrate Jiaocheng, once we attack the city, we will be able to immediately join forces with the outside and take Jiaocheng." Sima Yan said.

"Jiaocheng is located in a dangerous position, controlling Jiaocheng, the north can stifle the Han army attack, and the south can enter the hinterland of the Chu people, which is a good place for us to rest and recuperate. Where to go, let's make plans based on the situation in the world. Tan Feng said.

Sima Yan was silent for a moment, "General, we have always had a good relationship with the Chu people. Now if we take Jiaocheng without declaring a war, will we anger the Chu people, and then we will be attacked on our backs. And although Jiaocheng is dangerous, the production is not rich, and Jiaocheng is not enough to feed our tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that this time we have captured so many strong men? ”

Tan Feng looked at Sima Yan: "Sima, where do you think we can feed our tens of thousands of troops now?" No, Yingchuan can feed, but we lost it. Wulong Tai'an can feed, but we can't hold it, and in the future, we won't be able to support ourselves. ”

"What will happen next?"

"Sima, we have soldiers in our hands, why should I order to rob Wulong, and order Tai'an to be looted to the sky, because we will hold out for at least one year, in this year. We may have to fight with the Chu people, or fight with the Han people, but as long as we hold on, we will have bargaining chips. Sima. You now know why I'm bringing so many strong men, right? Fighting a war kills people, and the army also needs to be replenished. Tan Feng sighed.

"A year! Whether it is the Han or the Chu, for us, they are two giants. It's hard to say if you can carry it for a year! Sima Yan shook his head and said.

"The number of years is just my worst plan, and Han and Chu are two countries. Ben is also an enemy, it is not very likely that they will work together to attack us, it is more likely that one side will fight, and the other side will desperately dismantle Taiwan, this is our vitality! The terrain of Jiaocheng is dangerous, and we have tens of thousands of troops in hand, so it is not a problem to hold on. ”

"The general sees it. In the future, it will be left and right, the two sides will be balanced, and the two sides will ask for benefits. Sima Yan nodded again and again, "General, if that Lu Chao also comes to us in the future, how will we deal with it?" ”

"What's not to do with benefits?" Tan Feng smiled bitterly, "In the future, let's be the king of the mountain in Jiaocheng." ”

Sima Yan also smiled bitterly, "I really can't imagine that Lu Chao took Xianyang so quickly, and now Xuanyiwei has also surrendered to him, Lu Chao's strength has increased greatly, in the Qin State, Zhou Yuchao is not safe, Bai Qi is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and when Lu Chao frees up his hand, Bai Qi will either surrender or destroy, when Lu Chao raised his army, I couldn't have imagined that in less than two months, Lu Chao won." General, how did you judge that Lu Chao would definitely win? ”

"Lu Chao is not the kind of person who is alone." Tan Feng said: "When he brazenly sent troops, I was almost sure that he was sure of victory, and after thinking about it, his only chance to win should be that there was an accomplice in Xianyang City who held great power, but I didn't expect that it would end in such a way, but I just took pity on General Zhou Yu and became their scapegoat, the world is so big, Zhou Yu is afraid that there is nowhere to go." ”

"Does the General now know who that helper is? I'm still in the clouds, I can't guess! ”

"Things are now, what can't be guessed, it must be that Mingtai." Tan Feng sneered: "The king is also blind, the commander of the Black Ice Terrace, the head of the secret army who is trusted by the king more than Xuanyiwei, is actually the accomplice of the rebels, and it really makes people laugh when they say it." ”

"How could it be Mingtai?" Sima Yan said in surprise. "As far as I know, Mingtai has been in the king's mansion since he was a child, they almost grew up together, they have a deep relationship, Mingtai is very trusted by the king, and as soon as the king ascends the throne, he can't wait to replace Zhongli Zhong Houye and let Mingtai take the throne, how can he be a spy?"

"Replacing Zhong Houye has already doomed the king to failure, calculating Zhou Yu, who has the ability to do this except Mingtai? Xianyang is in turmoil, if the 30,000 Xuanyi guards react properly, as for abandoning the city and fleeing? If Xuanyiwei fought to the death, and after Zhou Yu escaped from Xianyang, in order to prove his innocence, he would inevitably lead the army to attack Lu Chao to the death, and the whole war would still have a turnaround, but Xuanyiwei just fled. Thirty thousand Xuanyi guards, the strongest armed forces of the Qin State! Tan Feng laughed: "What kind of prince's widow is the king of Lu Chao here, and the king's son Yingji is the king, and the king's son Yingji is killed by a stray arrow, Sima Yan, if Mingtai is not a spy, he led the troops to escape, Gongzi Ji should be the object of his protection, this is the foundation of his counteroffensive, can you imagine that Gongzi Ji under the protection of heavy soldiers actually died in the middle of the arrow?" ”

"The general does make a lot of sense when he says that." Sima Yan opened his mouth and said.

"Although I don't know why Mingtai wants to help Lu Chao, I am convinced that Mingtai is that spy." Tan Feng sneered: "Sima, send a few people to the south to see if you can pick up General Zhou and let him come to me!" ”

"General, although General Zhou is now struggling, he still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands that can fight well, and although the Chu people have captured most of the southern land of Qin, Tan Wei is still holding on to Sanchuan County, as long as he returns to Sanchuan County, General Zhou has someone who has territory, Lu Chao wants to repel the Chu people to regain the lost territory, but I am afraid that he will still have to be encircled by him, how can he come to us? No matter how you look at it, General Zhou's situation is much better than ours, but it is also a good thing for the general to send someone to contact General Zhou, the general and him are brothers and friends, if they can unite and support each other, it will be good for both sides. ”

"If this is the case, it would be good, but with Zhou Yu's temperament, I am afraid that he will not be able to do this, and Lu Chao, how can he tolerate him returning to Sanchuan County to be his enemy? Moreover, with the current offensive of the Chu people, Sanchuan County may not be able to hold it. Tan Feng shook his head and said: "You send a few proper people, if Zhou Yu can return to Sanchuan, we will contact him for mutual assistance, if he is in trouble, think of saving him, Zhou Yu is a rare general, if our brothers can join forces again, life may be better!" ”

"Yes, General, I'll do it right away."

Watching Sima Yan go out, Tan Feng sighed lightly, Brother Zhou, I hope you can hold on.

In the south of Chu State, Sanchuan County, Tan Wei stood at the head of the city, his armor was bloodstained, damaged everywhere, the army of Chu was 200,000, when Lu Chao launched a mutiny, he also suddenly went out of the division, after Zhou Yu led the division of King Qin to leave, with lightning speed, captured most of the land in the south of Qin, and all Tan Wei could do was to shrink all the troops in his hands and hold the core city of Sanchuan County in the south.

"General Tan, they're going to attack again, let's dodge and hide first." Another soldier pulled Tan Wei's arm and said loudly, in the distance, the war drums in the Chu army camp were beating, and new catapults were pushed out, but now, these catapults were not throwing stone bullets, but explosive packs. Mao Wei was kidnapped at the beginning, and finally set up a workshop in the whole city on the border of Chu and Qin, and apprentices on both sides learned to prepare explosives, which also made both sides not lack gunpowder weapons, and in the process of the Chu people's attack on the south, gunpowder weapons were used in large quantities, which is why Tan Wei was able to defend Sanchuan County with only 5,000 people so far. Otherwise, with nearly seven or eight times the strength of the Chu army, Yu Tan Wei would have taken Sanchuan County a long time ago. But now, Tan Wei has also reached the end of the mountain, gunpowder weapons to defend the city sharply, but the siege is also very powerful, until now, Tan Wei has less than a thousand men and horses left in his hands, and the rest are all strong men temporarily recruited in the city of Sanchuan County.

"Everyone, hide Luo, pack up our weapons, let them take advantage of their power for a while, and then blow them up when they attack the city." Tan Wei shouted angrily.

Bags of explosives were thrown into the sky by catapults and fell on the county town, which had already been blown to pieces, and now many places were temporarily fortified with sandbags, and the soldiers hid behind the sandbag barricades to avoid the bombardment.

After several rounds of bombardment, the war drums beat again, and the Chu army pushed the siege vehicles, Meng Chong vehicles, and carried cloud ladders, swarming over. These days, in order to capture Sanchuan County, the Chu army has used all kinds of tricks, but Tan Wei is a veteran of the battlefield, and his defense is not leaky, and in the end he can only rely on this method of human lives to attack Sanchuan County.
