Chapter 263: Unpredictable
More than 10,000 Qin soldiers took advantage of the situation and did not give up, and the 100,000 Wei soldiers were excited all night without sleep, but they were extremely tired at the moment, and they were killed by the Qin cavalry and lost their armor and retreated again and again.
"Pass the order! At most, chase to a house, and the Wei army has been prevented from fighting to the death! Chen Ping endured and screamed in horror.
"No!"
The left and right cavalry nodded knowingly.
Ordinary routs will only try to flee, allowing the enemy to chase and kill them one by one.
The Western Wei army was retreating with fatigue, but it actually counterattacked, and took advantage of the carelessness of the Qin soldiers to stab hundreds of Qin people to death.
Chen Ping and the other Qin soldiers even had some suspicions that the retreat of the Western Wei soldiers was a trick to lure the enemy.
Before he arrived, Chen Ping was extremely suspicious in his heart, and he didn't dare to chase after him further, so he led the Qin soldiers to turn around and return to the city in a hurry.
When Chen Ping returned to Liyang City, Wang Xiang, who was in a coma, disappeared.
"Heh... It's running backwards. Chen Ping smiled, "I hope you won't be discovered by Wei Wangbao." β
"No, no."
Fu Kuan lay on the head of the city and looked into the distance, and said lightly, "Wang Xiang, this person will be a close confidant of Wei Wangbao as soon as possible, and he has lived in Pingyang, the capital of Wei, for a long time. After he returned, he could attribute the defeat in this battle to the fact that the Western Wei Dynasty had no cavalry and Great Qin's strange weapons. β
Chen Ping raised his head and squinted at Fu Kuan, especially vigilant, if it wasn't for Wang Xiang telling Li Shang about his current situation, I'm afraid Fu Kuan would have already defected.
It's just a little bit close...
"Commander Fu knows that Wang Xiang doesn't want Wei Wangbao to win, doesn't he suspect that what he said about the situation of Li Shang is also false?" Chen Ping asked, he has retreated from the Wei army at this moment, and when the army returns to the city, it doesn't hurt to assassinate Fu Kuan.
"Xin Chengjun returned to Wei, but he did not become a striker in this battle. If you want to come to the situation, you may not be proud, Wang Xiang's words should be true. Fu Kuan replied.
Chen Ping was almost amused by Fu Kuan's words, and Fu Kuan dared to reply like this, which was to acquiesce in the choice between Qin and Wei just now.
It was the first time he had seen someone say it so bluntly, and he was immediately interested.
"Li Shang brought thousands of people to Liu Bang back then, attacked Changshe, took the Wu clan, fought Luoyang, and approached Xianyang. After Liu Bang was crowned queen, Li Shang returned to Wei, and Wei Wangbao was dissatisfied, which was understandable. Chen Ping said with a smile, "If Commander Fu returns to Wei at this moment, he will be a great hero of Wei Wangbao, and unlike Li Shang, he will definitely be reused by Wei Wangbao, and he must not miss the opportunity." β
"Dr. Chen's words are wrong." Fu Kuan shook his head lightly, "Even the close ministers will throw tricks and deceive on the battlefield, and I think that Wei Wangbao also treats his courtiers very poorly." This alone is not a reason to return to Wei. β
Fu Kuan smiled suddenly, "Speaking of which, although Doctor Fu is cunning, he desperately wants to serve Qin in the next day, and he must be reused in the next day." β
"Haha... Commander Fu Gao Jian. Then wait for Dr. Ben to return to the city, and then discuss the plan to retreat from the enemy. Chen Ping smiled and rode into the city.
Fu Kuan killed "Liu Bang", sold his own soldiers, and took refuge in Qin, and now he almost defected.
But Chen Ping likes to deal with this kind of "simple" person the most, selling it is simple, and becoming simple, which means that it is also simple to accept.
"It's okay to be loyal and treacherous, and if you can use it for me, you are a good general. Leave this man behind, so that he may admonish some kings. Chen Ping secretly thought.
"The 100,000-strong army was defeated, even if Wang Xiang did not stop it, Wei Wangbao would not move troops for a few days. Daqin... There is still a chance. β
......
Oak Yang North, a house.
Wang Xiang counted the troops and set up camp on the spot.
"Tut-tut... This Han Xin has two hits, although he was defeated and returned, the casualties of the army were not thousands, and he was able to train this kind of Wei soldiers, I am afraid that Sun Tzu is only like this when he is alive, right? Wang Xiang said embarrassedly in the side camp.
Li Shang, who had appeased Wei Wangbao, pushed the curtain forward, his face was pale, "Han Xin's power is far from this. β
"How?" Wang Xiang's expression tightened, "Could it be that he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to enter Qin, take over the army, and completely make the king think that we are incompetent?!" β
"Commander Wang is thinking too simply." Li Shang knelt in front of Wang Xiang and sighed, "Today's defeat made the king angry in his heart, and he wanted to attack Liyang again tomorrow." The army is not in a good mood, although the strength is victorious, and it is not advisable to attack in a hurry, who knows..."
"What is the king going to do?!"
Wang Xiang asked anxiously, he knew that Han Xin was outside the Hangu Pass and would not enter Qin easily. But it is not easy to let the victorious army defeat the battle without punishment.
Today, you can also use strange weapons as an excuse, if Wei Wang Leopard attacks quickly, he must think of a way to deal with strange weapons in a short time, and the mistake of falling twice in the same place is the fault of his tactics, not the fault of Han Xin's tactics.
"Alas, the king opened Han Xin's first bag." Li Shang said with frustration, "The king plans to divide it into five days tomorrow, and each will send 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city in turn. Still superior in strength, Chen Ping had to work hard every day to deal with it, and after five days, 100,000 troops moved together to attack the Qin army, and they would surely win with one blow. β
"Twenty thousand? Five days? Heh..."Wang Xiang smiled suddenly, "Wouldn't that be more in line with the two of us?" The fewer troops we use, the more reason we have for defeat. An army of 100,000 is not easy to defeat, but 20,000 is different, it is nothing more than five excuses. β
Wang Xiang believed that with Chen Ping's ability to see through his mind at a glance, he could deal with 20,000 people without even his help.
"But the point is... Han Xin's plan is a plan for 'tired enemies to tempt'! He is letting the lieutenant lead the troops, no need to command! Li Shang clenched his fists and said indignantly.
"This..."Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, stunned in place.
As long as the 100,000 army was in Qin, Chen Ping's mobilization of the defenders from various counties to Liyang was not an opponent of the Wei army.
This plan is feasible, but Wang Xiang can't figure out how Han Xin came up with it.
"Could it be that he guessed that you and I would get in the way?" Wang Xiang muttered. "This is not simple, just looking at this plan, Han Xin even knows how to persuade the king."
"Don't think too much of him." Li Shang shook his head and said, "If he really has miraculous ability, Han Di will not still be in a stalemate with the Chu State." Han Xin's attack on the two countries in a row is already a high achievement, if he really understands people's hearts, how can he monopolize the two merits. β
Wang Xiang suddenly felt that Li Shang's words also made some sense, but he really couldn't guess Han Xin's intentions.
Li Shang also covered his head, closed his eyes and pondered, puzzled for a long time.
"Was it the idea of the old man surnamed Kuai next to him?" Wang Xiang suddenly spoke.
"Definitely not! With the ability to understand people's hearts, this plan will definitely not have such a big loophole. β
A familiar voice came, and the herald opened the curtain and entered the camp with a smile on his face.
β......β
The two wanted to speak, but suddenly realized that they didn't know the name of this person.
"Little sir, why do you say that? Don't you have a plan to deal with it? Li Shang didn't bother to ask at the moment, and continued to know the way to crack it.
"If Mr. Little can help the two of us in this battle, I will be thanked for a hundred gold after the war!" Wang Xiang said urgently.
"Hehe... Help? Help what? Help the two treason? The herald smiled, "If Western Wei wins this battle, most of the northern world will be the king of Wei, why should the two commanders hope for righteousness for small grievances?" β
"That's not the case!" Li Shang's eyes rolled and said, "Xiang Yu has long said that the child needs to die in his hands, and King Wei was deceived by Han Xin. If the King of Wei defeats the Qin State and stays until Xiang Yu is pacified, the next target will be the Western Wei, and we will also be worried about the king. β
"Uh... Precisely. Wang Xiang nodded again and again, "We also have selfish intentions and public intentions in this matter!" Now that the two kingdoms of Zhao have been divided, the best purpose of the Western Wei Dynasty should be these two countries, and the matter of attacking Qin is simply a strategy! β
"I see." The herald smiled playfully, "The two commanders are so for the country, let's do our part in the future." β
The herald cut his hands on his back like an old man, and circled around the two, turning his back to the excited two.
"The two commanders didn't think of a way to deal with it, because there was one thing they didn't figure out." The herald said.
"What's the matter?!" Wang Xiang was a little impatient.
"That's - will the king really be obedient to Han Xin? Have you ever been half rejected in your heart? Abhor? The herald asked.
"It's... The king allowed him to lead a large army to attack other countries, and he trusted him very much. Wang Xiang frowned.
"No, the king's method is just to take a fancy to Han Xin's ability to lead troops." The herald smiled and waved his hand, "Now that the Yin State has been swallowed, Changshan has been divided, and half of Hancheng is in the hands of the Western Wei Dynasty, the King of Wei is not recuperating, but he is still in a hurry to attack Qin, why is this?" β
"No king thinks the territory is too big, and it is a godsend to attack Qin while Ziying is away." Li Shang said.
"That's one of them." The herald said, "Among Kyushu, the richest places are in Hancheng, Changshan, and Qi. The land of Qin is barren, but it is attacked first, only for one thing - to avoid disaster! β
"Avoiding trouble?" Li Shang has some understanding.
"Only Qin can retreat to the princes of the world, the two commanders must know that Hangu Pass was still a part of the Wei State back then, and the Wei Jun knows the weight of this pass more than the princes of the world." The herald said, "Henan is also in the king's plan, and now Henan is placed, and Han Xin is transferred only for this battle." β
"But... What does all this have to do with Hanshin? Wang Xiang asked.
"Of course it's related, because Han Shin... That's what I thought! And the king is also guarding against Han Xin in his heart! The herald sneered, "No matter how powerful a person is, the king's heart will be uneasy, and this is a common problem of kings." β
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiang gradually smiled.
"What does Mr. Xiao mean is that let me wait for the separation between the king and Han Xin, so that we don't need to be obsessed with the success or failure of the battle against Qin?" Wang Xiang asked.
"It's not a separation, it's a truthful inform." Li Shang thoroughly understood what the herald said, "Zhou Wen Shunqi passed by Hangu Pass, and when Xiang Yu attacked Hangu Pass, Yingbu and that person also raided the valley. Han Xinzhi was able to not be inferior to these two people, and led his troops to surround Hangu without entering, but instead made some delays for the king. He... Aren't you waiting for something? β
"The king has never said it, but there will be doubts, and we only need to say what we are worried about, and the king will make up his own mind. Good strategy! β
Li Shang nodded repeatedly, implicitly scolding himself for focusing on the inside of the Qin Territory, not on the outside of the Qin Territory.
Wang Xiang's doubts were not dispelled, "If this is the case, presumably the king should let Han Xin forcibly attack Qin, and the credit will be taken by him again." Han Xin also had the old man Kuaitong by his side, and at that time, the two of them might still be anti-guest-oriented, blaming the disadvantage of attacking the city. β
Wang Xiang's mind was full of fighting with Han Xin.
"Haha... Since the skin of the face is torn, it will be torn to the end. If Han Xin was forced to attack Qin, the suspicious king would take advantage of the situation to accept Han Xin's military power, and even hand it over to the two commanders, and all the previous exploits would also be suspended, unless there was another battle in the Western Wei that had to be fought by Han Xin, he would be recalled. β
"But if he doesn't come..."
"If he doesn't come, it's the opposite." The herald interrupted, "At that time, the two commanders will say something 'practical', and Han Xin will have no way out. β
Wang Xiang and Li Shang nodded at each other, both had ideas in their hearts, but they both sighed at the ruthlessness of the heralds' strategies.
Fortunately... This time they were on the side, if he and Han Xin were together, the two of them didn't dare to imagine how miserable they would die.
"Thank you, little sir!" Li Shang possessed his hand, "Dare to ask Mr. Xiao's name, he will visit Huangshi Gong in the next day!" β
"No need." The herald smiled indifferently, "The family teacher assisted Wang Shang because of the leadership of Li Xin of the Qin State, and he almost killed Senior Brother Zhang, who was below. β
"Mr. Xiao is very powerful, and he still stayed in the Western Wei Army to help the two of us, could it be that the two of us had secretly helped Huangshi Gong on weekdays?" Wang Xiang asked, secretly happy in his heart.
"Hahaha..."Li Shang couldn't help but smile, "I guess it's Han Xin who also hurt Mr. Zifang, right?" β
The herald's eyes showed appreciation, "That's right, when I was in Han Di, Han Xin and Kuaitong Lao Xiao'er caused Senior Brother Zifang to be trapped in Chu Di, if it wasn't for Wei Yi's face, it would be so simple." β
"Whatever you want." Wang Xiang had no worries, his heart was happy, and he stretched out his hand to signal Li Shang, "Commander Li has extraordinary intelligence, and he is a famous family of Chen Liu, if Mr. Xiao does not dislike it, can he be recommended to Huangshi Gong?" β
Li Shang couldn't help but be moved, if he could get the guidance of a master outside the world, he would not be afraid of Han Xin.
The herald with a smile on his face suddenly changed his face and said coldly, "Li Shang? The ion room is still far from it. β
"Thisβ" Wang Xiang's smile froze on his face.
"Haha..."Li Shang smiled awkwardly, "What Mr. Xiao said is extremely true, Mr. Zifang is a country for generations, regardless of life and death, and he assassinates Qin, which is not comparable below." I have been instructed by Mr. Xiao, and I dare not have excessive thoughts. Little gentleman is angry! β
"Humph! The words have been brought, and the rest of the matter will depend on the creation of the two. The herald had a cold face, "Taking advantage of the fact that Wei Wangbao was upset after the war, it is the best time to 'admonish', so I will not accompany you." β
After the herald finished speaking, he led his hands away.
Wang Xiang instantly changed to an angry expression, "This... Where did he get his temper? Huang Shigong's disciple is just a herald! What is there to be arrogant about? His master came here, and he did the same! β
Li Shang was silent.
Wang Xiang was reprimanded by a man in his twenties, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Sitting cross-legged on a few cases.
"Even the Chen Liuwang clan can't look down on it? Look at him crazy. Wang Xiang muttered, and suddenly looked at the silent Li Shang, "Why didn't Commander Li speak?" β
"The king... The king is in charge of the party... Say he's a herald? Li Shang's tone trembled.
"That's right! What's wrong? β
Wang Xiang replied quickly, and his face turned blue.
He had just counted the Wei soldiers damaged in battle, as if... There is no such person!
"This person was brought back by the king, what did the king meet this person?" Li Shang swallowed.
"Southeast of Sedi... On the west side of the river... Didn't the king send him to find him? Wang Xiang asked anxiously.
"No..."Li Shang Mu Ne shook his head, "The king is bent on seizing the Qin land, and he has never given such an order..."
Wang Xiang suddenly felt a chill flash all over his body, "Your Majesty... I must have thought that I agreed with Han Xin's plan and returned willingly, so I let Xia and Xi Yi lead the troops together... So who is this man..."
"Don't pay too much attention to it, I'll go to the king's camp as soon as possible." Li Shang didn't dare to think about it anymore and urged.
"It's okay..."
The torches of the Wei army's camp were lit again, and the distraught King of Wei really listened to the 'advice' of the two, and sent Li Shang to secretly go to Hangu Pass in person.
On Jing Mountain, a white-haired old man was driving away on a horse with his back hand.
"Chen Ping is too proud to let Li Shang act like this, right?" The old man muttered.
The night breeze blew, and the old man's white robe moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the southwest Chudi.
"Compared to Han Xin, with Ziying's trick, he drove the ovary out of the account, and wanted to kill... Bashu should not stay..."The old man looked puzzled, "but... The old man hasn't made a move yet, how can he be killed? No matter, it's time to get back to the ground. β
......
The Chengdu palace has been garrisoned by Zhao Cheng.
Ziying picked hundreds of ponies, and with worms, Chen He and a group of Qin soldiers went straight across the Golden Bull Road.
Among Xiang Liu's people, Chen He's words are the most weighty, Ziying took him and deliberately left Tang Li in Chengdu, Xiang Lu's people are not terrible now. With Han Xin, Zhao Cheng and others here, there is no need to worry.
Ziying was afraid of encountering unexpected dangers, and Wormda, the "first sword in the world", was regarded as a bodyguard.
"Your Majesty! Dr. Chen has only been converted for a long time, and the future of my trip is unknown! Worm Da reminded, "With the strength of the Wei State, I want to conscript 200,000 troops to explain ordinary things, if Xianyang is captured, this... It's going to die. β
"Therefore, the widow took you Aiqing and hurriedly headed north, so that he could catch up with the flying slave earlier." Ziying teased.
A courtier can panic, but a king can't.
In the face of the courtiers who have just been recruited, Ziying needs to be confident in everything.
Even if there is a fire in the backyard, you can only calm down.
"Your Majesty, it is the fastest to pass through the meridian road, but it is also the most dangerous, wait until I wait until Xianyang, I'm afraid it's too late, why don't you go home with the army?" Chen He frowned and asked, extremely puzzled in his heart.
"Hahaha... Why is Aiqing so flustered, there is no need to worry about the ability of Dr. Chen and others. Ziyingqiang smiled, "There are countless things that the Qin people can do with less to win more, and they can do the same, and the return of the widow this time is just to boost the morale of the army." β
The two didn't know Ziying's plan, but they did believe it a little.
"The soldiers trained by Han Xin, no matter how many soldiers they have trained before January, it is useless. Only by taking a gamble, betting that Chen Ping can resist, betting that Yang Xi, the ancestor of Hongnong, can not be defeated, the first daughter, can have a way to fight. Only then can the widow have time to come up with the post-method. Ziying muttered in her heart.
"This time, don't take the meridian road, take the Han water!"
