Chu State, Yingdu.

Xiong Huai stood on top of the palace and looked to the north. I don't know why, Xiong Huai has been restless recently, and the war in the north has made him uneasy.

The disappearance of Zhu Lijian plunged the entire battlefield into a confusing situation, which directly led to the failure of Xiong Huai's plan to capture Yiyang.

"Is it waiting for me, or is it waiting for South Korea? Or wait for Zhao Guo? Wei? Xiong Huai let out a long sigh.

Boom———— with a loud bang, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky of Yingdu, and then, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the rain began to smash into Yingdu.

"Your Majesty, it's raining." An attendant cautioned beside him.

After a while, the two chamberlains took out an umbrella from the palace, ran to Xiong Huai's side, and held up an umbrella for Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai stretched out his right hand and opened it. The rain slid down from the side of the umbrella, drop by drop, drop by drop, into the palm of Xiong Huai's hand, and the moment it touched Xiong Huai's palm, the raindrops splashed. Xiong Huai looked at the rain in his hand.

After a long time, Xiong Huai clenched his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and wrapped the raindrops, however, it was only in vain, and the rain fell down the gap in Xiong Huai's palm.

The entire Yingdu was already caught in the rain, and the pedestrians on Yingdu Street hurriedly hid in the houses on the side of the street.

In the prime minister's house, Zhang Yi sat in the pavilion, put the tea leaves on the right into the cup on the left, and then raised the kettle and poured the smoking boiling water from the pot into the cup containing the tea leaves.

Picked up the teacup, shook it, took a sip, and said, "The tea is good, but unfortunately, I don't like tea." ”

As he spoke, he poured the tea in the teacup into the lake outside the pavilion, stood up, and said to the messenger in front of him: "Yan Qi is fighting, my Chu State will not interfere, no matter how much you say, it is useless." ”

As he spoke, he left the envoy of Yan Guo who was stunned next to him and walked into the mansion alone.

In the palace, Xiong Huai was still enjoying the rain scene of Yingdu above the city, when a forbidden military captain came over and said, "Your Majesty, Fangcheng is in a hurry." ”

Xiong Huai withdrew his right hand, took the emergency report, and walked towards the hall while looking at it, and the attendant behind him held an umbrella, for fear that Xiong Huai would be drenched in the rain.

Entering the main hall, Xiong Huai just finished reading the emergency report, and couldn't help sighing, and said, "This Zhao Sui really roasted the widow on the fire." ”

"The king, Xiangbang, and Taiwei are all asking to see you outside the palace."

"Let them in," Xiong Huai took off his big sweater, changed into his royal robe, and drank the bowl of hot soup brought by the waiter.

"The ministers see the king." Outside the door, several ministers saluted Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai waved his hand and said, "Don't be restrained, come in quickly, the widow has something important to discuss." ”

A few people walked in quickly, Xiong Huai pointed to the emergency report next to him, and said, "You can take it and take a look." ”

Several people took the emergency report and read it carefully.

Zhaoyang raised his head incredulously, looked at Xiong Huai, and said, "Zhaosui has already transferred 20,000 people to the Lu clan?" ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "He is now roasting the widow on the fire, and it seems that the soldiers of Wancheng must be sent out, ,,,." ”

Jingyang said with some approval: "Zhao Sui took this step, what a lot of courage." ”

What Jingyang didn't know was that Zhao Sui didn't make much determination, on the contrary, in his opinion, no matter whether Wancheng's soldiers moved or not, his 20,000 people would be scattered.

Xiong Huai sighed and said, "Zhao Sui's brain is in the water, how dare he guarantee that there will be no Qin State and Korean scouts at such a long distance from Fangcheng to the Lu Clan?" ”

Qu Yuan on the side also sighed and said, "Zhao Sui, the qualifications are indeed insufficient, and the consideration is not comprehensive enough, he only saw Yiyang, but he didn't see Wancheng." ”

"Do you want to send out the soldiers of Wancheng?" Zhang Yi asked.

Xiong Huai breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Since he wants to gamble, the widow will let go of his authority, let him gamble, and give an order, 30,000 people in Wancheng will cooperate with 10,000 people in Wuguan to attack Shang Yu, and attract the attention of Qin State!" At the same time, transfer the 20,000 people who replied to the letter to Wancheng, just in case! ”

"Think twice!" Illustrious... objected, "Your Majesty, do you know that you have gambled away the land west of Wancheng, Fangcheng, and even Yingdu?" In case the disease is waiting for us, then ........."

"How do you know that the disease is waiting for us?" Xiong Huai asked rhetorically.

"Zhu Li is waiting for our Chu State to act!" Tang Yi's eyes lit up, walked to the side of the sand table, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiangbang, you see, according to the report from the scouts, the 70,000 people who have been suffering from the disease have disappeared since they came out of Xiao Pass, and we have been trying to find traces of the disease on the land route. However, we ignore the waterway, from Xiaoguan to the river and into Luoshui, you can go directly to Yiyang, and you can also go to Lu's, it is possible that the disease is waiting for Zhaosui to take the bait. ”

"How could Yu Lijian know that Zhao Sui would make a detour from the Lu clan to cut off the Qin army's rear road from the back and then take Yiyang?" Xiong Huai is still a little confused, to be honest, there are some military things that he really doesn't understand.

"This is simple," Zhao Yang walked over and added, "Zhao Sui has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Fangcheng, and everyone in the world knows about it, and Qin already knows that our army and the Han army are united, so the King of Qin and Zhu Liji will definitely know that these tens of thousands of people in our army are used in Yiyang." ”

"At the same time," Zhaoyang paused, and continued, "the Han army has deployed 10,000 men in Yecheng, and the Qin State will definitely be able to infer from this incident that there is a rift between Chu and Han, and it is impossible for Chu to march from Yecheng. ”

"It is impossible to march from Yecheng," Xiong Huai suddenly realized, took Zhaoyang's words, and said, "And the Lu clan is located at the foot of Funiu Mountain, the terrain is low and flat, our army can cross Funiu Mountain and take Yiyang." We know this, and Qin Guo must have speculated that Sima is not stupid, and he is not stupid, they know that tens of thousands of people in Zhaosui are staring at Yiyang, so they will definitely send a large number of scouts to keep an eye on Zhaosui, no matter how much movement our army is making in business, Zhuli will not care, because he only looks at tens of thousands of people in Zhaosui, and all he cares about is Yiyang! ”

"The king is wise." Several people couldn't help but admire Xiong Huai's comprehension and analytical skills.

Xiong Huai was sweating profusely ,,, Qin State, too smart.

Indeed, in this battle, Xiong Huai and their first plan at the beginning of the war was to mobilize the main force of the Qin State to attack Yiyang, and the Qin State was stupid to think that the tens of thousands of people in Fangcheng were aimed at Ye Cheng.

Xiong Huai and these people looked at Qin Guo too stupidly, but they didn't know that they were too confident.

Qin Guo had expected that the Chu State would make a move against Yiyang from the very beginning, and had already prepared for it, so no matter how the Chu State tried to attract attention elsewhere, Qin State's attention was on Fang Cheng Zhaosui.

Of course, this is just a possibility, but the probability of this possibility is too high!

This is the answer - Xiong Huai said silently.
