Hearing Kuang Zhang's clear refusal, Tian Jia was disappointed and said: "But general, if we don't go to Xue Cheng to rescue, how can we complete the king's request to rescue Xue Cheng?" ”

Kuang Zhang snorted coldly: "General Tian, we were ordered to come to the rescue of Xue Cheng this time, as long as we can save Xue Cheng, it doesn't matter what method we use." ”

Tian Jia arched his hand and said: "Please make it clear to the general!" ”

Kuang Zhang took a deep look at Tian Jia, who was in his hand, paused, pointed in the direction of Xue Cheng in the west and said: "Now we have gathered 180,000 Chu and Song coalition troops in front of us, which means that we have contained nearly 200,000 troops for Xue Cheng. Xue Cheng has only been besieged for a month, and his vitality has not been lost, and the background is still there. If this is the case, Xue Cheng can't hold it, then is he Meng Weijun just a vain name? ”

Tian Jia was silent for a moment when he heard this, and it seemed to make sense.

As long as the 180,000 army in front of him can be contained, it seems that it is not difficult for Meng Weijun Tianwen to hold Xue Cheng.

"General, what do we do now?" Tian Jia asked again.

Kuang Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "The soldiers are divided into two, one continues to rest, and the other continues to build a military camp, increase the height and strengthen!" The two armies have been resting for three days, taking turns! ”

"No!"

···

After the two armies of Qi and Chu faced each other for ten days, the Chu army saw that the Qi army continued to strengthen the military camp, so Xiang Jun asked Tang Yu strangely: "Si defeated, isn't this Kuang Zhang here to rescue Xue Cheng?" Why don't you stay at the border of Xue Lu and don't leave, and you have been strengthening the military camp, as if it is not Xue Cheng who is asking for help but he Kuang Zhang. ”

Tang Mo smiled: "Expected! Presumably Kuang Zhang was also happy to do this, so many of our troops were holding him here, and he thought that our Chu and Song countries would not have enough troops to attack Xuecheng. ”

"You don't have to fight to achieve your goal, why wouldn't he do it!"

Xiang Jun opened his mouth and said: "Si is defeated, we will continue to fight against Kuang Zhang like this, it is not a matter, since Kuang Zhang is not coming, why don't we take the initiative to fight over?" ”

"Makes sense!" Tang Yu nodded.

Xiang Jun was overjoyed and said: "Si Defeat, do you think so too?" ”

Tang Yu smiled: "Not only do I think so, I'm afraid Kuang Zhang also thinks so, so I have continuously strengthened the Qi army camp in the past ten days." ”

Xiang Jun was embarrassed when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "Si Luo, we have also been friends for more than ten years, Ben Jun made a suggestion, Si Shi didn't agree if he didn't agree, and even made fun of Ben Jun, it's really not interesting enough." ”

Tang Hao laughed: "Xiang Jun, this is really not interesting!" Obviously, we are the defending side, Xiang Jun, you even persuaded Benjun to take the initiative to find trouble with Kuang Zhang, isn't this just taking Ben Jun? ”

"It turns out that Ben will not be interesting enough! That's interesting. ”

Xiang Jun smiled when he heard this: "Si is defeated, this can't blame me, Kuang Zhang is a famous general in the world, and now he is desperately building a military camp not far ahead, this Jun is afraid that he will secretly play a conspiracy." I always feel that it is inappropriate to continue to hold each other like this. ”

Tang Mo nodded, and said with a straight face: "Yes, we have been holding each other for a long time, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to continue to stay here and do nothing, and it is time to take action." ”

Xiang Jun perked up when he heard this, and arched his hand: "Si Defeat, what do you want to do, please just ask." ”

"Good!" Tang Yu opened his mouth and said: "Xiang Jun, you are ready, tonight, Ben will arrange 10,000 Chu troops for you, you quietly lead the army away, don't be discovered by anyone!" ”

Xiang Jun solemnly saluted: "No! ”

After Xiang Jun left, Tang Yu summoned a scout, took out a blank wooden tablet and handed it to him, and ordered: "Emergency military information, immediately pass it to the king." ”

"No!"

Outside Xue City.

Xiong Huai took the blank wooden tablet, looked at it, and spit out a long mouthful.

Previously, in order to paralyze the Qi army, a large number of troops were transferred to the east to block Qi reinforcements, so during this period of time, the Chu and Song dynasties all hid part of their strength and slowed down the offensive against Xuecheng.

Now Kuang Zhang stopped at the edge of Xue Di, concentrating on strengthening the defense of the camp, and there was no intention of advancing for half a minute.

Since Kuang Zhang didn't come, if he couldn't take the initiative to attack, lest Kuang Zhang retreat to Lu, then he had to force Kuang Zhang to attack.

How to force?

It was planned before, attacking what he saved, as long as he strengthened the offensive against Xue Cheng, and let Tian Wen ask Kuang Zhang and even King Qi for help again, Kuang Zhang would not come.

Thinking about it, Shouxin used his strength to pinch off the wooden slip, and then said to the Shangguan doctor beside him: "There is Lao Xianqing to go to the Song camp and tell the King of Song that the offensive will be strengthened starting tomorrow." Three days later, the intensity of the previous assault on Xue City was restored. ”

"Command!" Doctor Shangguan replied.

In the next three days, the intensity of the attack on Xuecheng by the Chu-Song coalition army increased day by day, and the casualties of Xuecheng increased day by day, until the fourth day, the casualties had exceeded the day before the arrival of reinforcements with the Qi army.

When Tian Wen heard the results of the statistics, he looked at Tang Li, who was in charge of defending the city, in amazement, and confirmed: "Sir, are you sure that today's battle damage is not wrong?" ”

This is the third time Tian Wen has asked.

It's not that Tian Wen doesn't believe it, but this result is unreasonable.

If the reinforcements did not arrive, the Chu and Song coalition forces could attack the city with all their strength without distraction, and Tian Wen also admitted such a result. But now that the reinforcements of the Qi State have arrived, and most of the Chu and Song coalition forces have gone to intercept the reinforcements, they can still maintain such an intensity of siege...

There's no reason for that!

Regardless of whether Meng Weijun believes it or not, anyway, Tang Li's statistics are like this, Tang Li nodded again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has counted three times in a row, it is true." ”

Tian Wen muttered: "What are the Chu and Song coalition forces trying to do? Could it be that they are so relieved of General Kuang Zhang? ”

"This..."

Tang Li remembered the news from the east during this time, and the reinforcements had been strengthening the camp every day for more than ten days, lest they be attacked by the Chu army, and they did not dare to advance half a minute.

Thinking about it, he guessed: "Your Majesty, do you say that the Chu army saw that the reinforcements did not move, and thought that the Qi army was cowardly, so they thought that the reinforcements did not dare to come to the rescue of Xue Cheng, so they were relieved to attack Xue Cheng boldly?" ”

Tian Wen shook his head violently when he heard this: "How is this possible!"

At present, Pang Juan, a famous general of Wei, thought that the Qi army was cowardly, and as a result, he was defeated by Qi twice, once captured and killed once. At that time, the Qin army thought that the Qi army was timid and would not attack the Qin army, but it was collapsed by General Kuang Zhang in a battle.

General Kuang Zhang is a famous general in the world, famous all over the world, no matter how relieved the Chu army is, in the case of the King of Chu's personal conquest, he will not let General Kuang Zhang ignore it! ”

Saying that, Tian Wen thought for a while and continued: "In this case, something must have gone wrong, and there must be a conspiracy between Chu and Song. ”

After Tian Wen finished speaking, he showed a confident gaze, and said solemnly to Tang Li: "Sir, immediately send scouts to monitor every move of the Chu army, this gentleman wants to know all the situation of the Chu army, and the Tang Yu department that is facing the reinforcements in the east must also be monitored!" ”

"No!" Tang Li gave up.
