April 30, 327 B.C., Chencheng.

The 100,000 troops of the Wei State, who had just arrived here, encountered a heavy rainstorm and were forced to garrison Chencheng.

It has been a month or two since the Battle of Chencheng, the walls of Chencheng have not been repaired, and the city has long lost its former prosperity, and many houses have become empty.

But it just gave the 100,000 army a place to rest and camp. Because of the sudden rain, they did not have time to build their tents.

In the distance, a scout cavalry rushed through the hazy rain, and the whole person became clearly visible.

The soldiers at the gate of Chen Cheng immediately rushed up, of course, they didn't rush too far, they were still inside the city gate, after all, who wants to go to the rain in this ghost weather.

"During the war between Wei and Chu, Chen Cheng was an important place, why did he still wear armor and want to enter the city?" The gatekeeper asked sharply.

The scout cavalry walked up to him, took out the token on his waist, and said, "King Wei's guard, I have something important to report to the general Gongsun Xi." ”

The gatekeeper took the token, pretended to understand it, and then raised his hand and said, "Take him in." ”

The soldier withdrew his Changge and let the guard in.

Chencheng County Government.

Gongsun Xi was pacing back and forth, and now his troops had been trapped in Chencheng for dozens of days by this heavy rain.

According to the news from the front, the Chu army Xiang Jun's troops have been divided into two routes, all the way to continue to attack Xinzheng, all the way around Cai and Shang Cai, if it does not stop, then Gongsun Yan's army may become a lone army.

"General, messenger of the King of Wei." A soldier walked in and reported.

Gongsun Xi was a little panicked, this messenger wouldn't be here to urge him to speed up the march, and it was estimated that it would be no good to send a messenger over at this time.

"Let him in." Gongsun Xi said calmly.

In fact, his composure is also pretended, because now that the struggle between the princelings and the Gongzi Red party above the court of Wei is becoming more and more intense, it is difficult for him to gain a fair foothold in the court.

He, the general, the princelings and the princelings are all very greedy, and if he makes the slightest mistake, I'm afraid he will ......

As he pondered, the scout had already walked in.

Gongsun Xi was a little puzzled and asked, "How can you be a soldier?" Didn't you say the Messenger? ”

The soldier took out the token from his waist, handed it to Gongsun Xi, and said, "King Wei's personal token, does the general still have any doubts?" ”

"Huh? Oh, no, no, no. Gongsun Xi took the token and looked at it. After all, he is the messenger of the King of Wei, and if he offends him, it will not be good for him to blow the wind around the King of Wei.

"I wonder what message the messenger is coming?" Gongsun Xi asked again.

The messenger took out a rain-soaked silk cloth from his waist, handed it to Gongsun Xi, and by the way, took back the token, saying, "The king has an order, so that you can quickly lead the army north." ”

"Going north?" Gongsun Xi was stunned for a moment, now that the Wei State is supporting the south on all fronts, what are you doing in the north, is it difficult?

"Zhao sent troops?" Gongsun Xi opened the letter, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought. Zhao sent troops.

"General, please go north quickly, Zhao Guo has already won Chaoge. The striker approached Huangchi, and the people of Daliang were panicked. The soldier said.

"This ......" Gongsun Xi hesitated.

"Did the king ask Gongsun Yan to do anything?" Gongsun Xi asked.

The soldier shook his head and said, "I only conveyed the king's order to let you go north, and there are no other orders." ”

Gongsun Xi was a little entangled. Now the situation is more chaotic, if he goes north, Xiang Jun suddenly draws troops from Xinzheng to take Huaisi, then Gongsun Yan's army will become a lone army.

Now the eyes of all the princes are on Gongsun Yan, if he takes Xiling, the princes will definitely do their best to cooperate with the United States, but if Gongsun Yan is defeated, then this alliance will be gone.

And Gongsun Yan's safety is determined by Gongsun Xi's 100,000 army.

"Order, the whole army is reorganized, and go north. At the same time, an elite army of 30,000 people was sent to raid the Xinzheng Chu army! After King Wei's guards went down, Gongsun Xi said to his guards.

The guard looked at the heavy rain outside and said, "General, I'm afraid that the soldiers have complained a lot about this heavy rain." ”

"Where do you get so many words?" Gongsun Xi glared at the guard.

The guards were frightened and hurried to give orders.

Moments later, the drums resounded through the barracks.

"Assemble and assemble!" The five chiefs scolded their subordinates.

The soldiers nostalgically walked out of the tents or houses, and lined up in the streets in the heavy rain.

"What else do we need to do in this heavy rain." One of the soldiers complained.

Another soldier chimed in: "Yes, this heavy rain weather, isn't it sincere to fix us, really." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"How do you walk on this rainy day?"

……

The soldiers began to complain that Gongsun Xi had asked them to assemble in formation in heavy rain. However, Gongsun Xi ignored them at all and divided the army into two parts, one of the larger ones going out from the north gate, and some of the smaller ones going out from the east gate. Hidden in the rain.

Fifteen days later, Daliang East.

"King, Gongsun Xi has already led the army north, do we want to wait?" Zhuang Ji asked tentatively, because he couldn't figure out what Xiong Huai meant, and he didn't fight when he arrived at Daliang, and the military rations were about to run out.

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Rectify the army, and the whole army will attack tomorrow!" Let the girder be ready to take over us and enter the city, Zhuang Ji. ”

"In!"

"With you leading 2,000 soldiers to raid Gongsun Xi's grain transport team, I will let him lose his body!"

"No!"

"The rest of the generals, today the generals gathered the grain and grass, and each of them was distributed three days' food. Let the soldiers have a good meal tonight! ”

"No!"

——————

"General, there is the Zhao army ahead." A soldier said, pointing to the army at Taniguchi ahead.

Gongsun Xi looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers, only to see that Zhao Jun was using his shield to block the valley mouth, and behind him were countless sharp spears, and on the left and right two small hills were countless crossbowmen, although it was not clear whether there were any troops in the rest of the place, but Gongsun Xi could feel that there was an army staring at him outside the battlefield.

"Order," Gongsun Xi raised his left hand and put on an offensive look, "The left and right generals each send an army to attack the rear flank of the Zhao army, and the forward changes to approach the Zhao army, remember, once there is an ambush, retreat immediately!" ”

"No!"

Knock knock - the war drums in the Wei lineup sounded.

The Chinese army's Daxu also swayed a few times to the left and right.

"Hah!" The left and right armies let out a roar, and then two groups of charioteers rushed out of the formation, and a phalanx of 2,000 charioteers followed.

In the middle of the Zhao army, Zhao Yong sat on the chariot, and soldiers kept coming down from the front line to report the situation, and Zhao Yong unhurriedly drew his sword and said, "Attack!" ”
