Tang Mo smiled and said, "The minister is here to break Xue City!" ”

"Breaking Xue City?" King Song looked at Tang Yu even more strangely.

The king of Song knew that the main general of the Chu army who was now in charge of attacking Xuecheng was Jing Cui, and Tang Yu had been building fortifications in the east during this time, responsible for blocking the Qi reinforcements who arrived at some point.

"I don't know what tricks Tang Zi has to break Xue Cheng?"

Tang Yu shook his head and arched his hand: "The king, the Miaojichen doesn't have it, but there are two paths in front of our Chu and Song countries?" ”

King Song was stunned.

Could it be that there is any other way to break through Xue Cheng than to storm it?

Thinking about it, King Song asked, "I want to hear about it!" ”

Tang Yu immediately replied: "Great King, this first way is to follow the method we discussed before, our Chu army will contain the Qi reinforcements, and then the Chu and Song coalition forces will attack Xue Cheng. ”

King Song was expressionless when he heard this, and did not express his opinion.

To be honest, the King of Song did not expect that it would be so difficult for Chu and Song to attack Xue Di.

Originally, according to King Song's calculations, Tian Wen had only been on the throne for a few years, and Tian Ying had only obtained Xue Di from King Qi Wei for about 20 years, coupled with the fact that Tian Wen's father and son had never bought the people's hearts in Xue Di, it stands to reason that it would be difficult for Xue Cheng to gain the support of the people.

But what I didn't expect was that Tian Wen didn't play cards according to common sense when he was a son, and now he has become Xue Gong, and he still doesn't play cards according to common sense, and he actually does such a thing as throwing money, which led to the Chu and Song coalition forces besieging Xue Cheng for more than a month and suffering heavy losses.

Although Tian Wen has now lost the support of the people, there are still a large number of troops in Xue City, which is not optimistic.

Continuing according to the original plan, the King of Song was very worried that even if he could capture Xue Cheng, he was afraid that the Song army would suffer heavy losses.

Whether this price is worth it, King Song and Hui Ang have calculated, but they can't figure it out...

After Tang Yu finished talking about the first road, seeing that King Song did not speak, he paused and continued: "King, this second road is ······"

Tang Yu finished the plan, and then arched his hand: "King, if you want to defeat the reinforcements of the Qi State, although the Kingdom of Qi has been prepared for a long time, its strength is still insufficient, so the minister specially came to borrow troops from the King, not much, only 30,000 people." ”

"Thirty thousand troops!" King Song hesitated.

Tang Wu's plan was very good, and once the plan succeeded, the losses of the Chu and Song countries would be greatly reduced.

In the case of storming Xuecheng for a month, the king of Song was more inclined to break the reinforcements first.

It's just that 30,000 troops are not much, but the Song army needs to attack the two walls of Xuecheng, and then transfer 30,000 Song troops, and Xuecheng's strength will be dwarfed.

King Song was a little embarrassed.

As for the question of Chu wanting to trap the Song State, King Song thought it was impossible.

Now that Qi and Chu are fighting for hegemony, Qi is gradually winning over Zhao and Wei, if Chu is pitting Song State, then Song State has nothing to say, just turn against it, and as long as you pay a slight price, you can win the sympathy of all countries, and Qi State may appease Song State in order to defeat Chu State.

Seeing that King Song hesitated, Tang Yu's face was cloudy, he fell into thought, and continued to speak: "King, the purpose of the ministers asking for help from the king is not only because of the lack of troops, but also to confuse Kuang Zhang. ”

"The art of war has clouds, and it can be shown but cannot be shown, and it cannot be shown. Letting the Song army go to resist the Qi reinforcements was to show the Qi State that our purpose was to hold back the reinforcements and forcibly take Xue Cheng. ”

"In this way, we can exert pressure on Tian Wen in Xue City and King Qi in Jucheng to force Kuang Zhang to come to the decisive battle as soon as possible."

King Song was silent for a moment, nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, 30,000 Song troops, the widow can be transferred, but it will take some time to transfer troops from Pengcheng, which is closest to Xue Di." ”

Tang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "The king is wise. ”

······

Sixty miles east of Xue Cheng, a small river ten meters wide quietly flowed from northwest to southeast, and the main battlefield of Tang Yu's defense of Qi reinforcements was here.

Tang set up a large camp on a high ground to the west of the river to prevent the Qi army from crossing the river. Ten miles to the south of the camp, there is a hill called Luzhu Mountain, and fifteen miles to the north there is a riverside hill called Qingfeng, and the two hills are also the key points of Tang Yu to stop the Qi army.

Because of the terrain of Xiaoshan, Tang Wu sent 15,000 people to defend it, with a total of 30,000 troops. In the large camp, there are 70,000 main forces.

The three strongholds watched each other and controlled the surrounding roads for nearly thirty miles.

This is the location of the decisive battle with the Qi army that Tang Yu has chosen thousands of times.

At noon the next day when Tang Wu arrived at the camp, a partial general hurriedly came to report: "General, the Qi army has arrived at the western border of Lu State, and it is still forty miles away from us. ”

"What? The Qi army marched so fast? Tang Yu was taken aback.

I only received the news of the departure of Qi reinforcements yesterday, and I didn't want Kuang Zhang to arrive today.

Although Tancheng Jucheng is not far from Xue Di, Kuang Zhang's marching speed is inevitably too fast!

Isn't Kuang Zhang afraid of being ambushed by the Chu State?

Thinking about it, Tang Wu ordered: "Pass the order, closely monitor the movements of the Qi army." ”

"No!"

Not long after, another scout came to report: "General, after the Qi army entered Xuedi, it stopped and began to set up camp." ”

Tang Yu looked at the sun overhead, it was still noon, and the Qi army actually stopped.

But it was not unexpected, and there was no contradiction with the previous fast march.

The previous speed was to give Xue Cheng confidence, and it was also to put pressure on Chu and Song.

Now that he had just left the Lu State and entered the range of Xue Di, he immediately stopped, also to put pressure on the Chu and Song coalition forces.

Besides, it is normal to stop, if you continue to march rapidly, it is abnormal, and the Chu army cannot be muddy.

Thinking about it, Tang Yu smiled and said: "Kuang Zhang is menacing, and now he is repairing forty miles away, he must want to wait for the Qi army to recover and defeat us with one blow." Now that we have few people and many soldiers, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to resist. ”

"Therefore, go quickly to report to the king, and ask the king to send reinforcements to support."

"No!"

On the other side, in the camp of the Qi army. When the main general Kuang Zhang was discussing the matter of camping with the deputy general Tian Jia, Qi Xiangbi hurriedly asked Kuang Zhang: "General, it's still noon, and we have just left Lu State, why don't we stop." ”

According to the meaning of Qi Xiang's argument, now that Xue Cheng is in danger, the reinforcements should be killed under Xue Cheng, for the rank of Meng Weijun, how can the sun still be overhead, just stop advancing!

Kuang Zhang calmly looked at the doorman in front of him who was going to Xue City together.

In this era when generals are not subject to foreign military orders, there is no need for him, as the chief general, to explain anything to anyone.

But thinking that Qi Maungbi also had some friendship with him, and that he also had to stabilize Meng Weijun in Xue Cheng, he opened his mouth to explain: "Although it is said that saving an emergency is like fighting a fire, there is still something particular about how to save it." ”
