Chapter 386: To Each His Ability

After the Zheng Bu Corps of the Han Army stopped the daily routine shouting and scolding and fighting, the anti-Han coalition army inevitably suspected that the rumors that Xiang Kang was about to come to Julu to command and supervise the battle were true, so the Han army did not want to waste its strength in vain, and was already working on various matters to welcome Xiang Kang's arrival, and then there was no need to greet each other, the armies of Qi, Chu and Zhao invariably strengthened the scouts of the Han army.

Soon, all kinds of relevant information were sent to the leaders of the anti-Han coalition army, proving that the two major corps of the Han army had indeed officially announced the news of Xiang Kang's future, and they were already making full efforts to arrange various matters to welcome Xiang Kang's arrival, such as changing the clothes of the soldiers, selecting meritorious troops to be inspected by Xiang Kang, preparing colorful flags, gongs, drums and musical instruments, and so on.

In addition, Uncle Zhou's corps and Zheng Bu's corps also cleaned up the site in their respective Chinese army camps, freeing up a large amount of space, and they all wanted to invite Xiang Kang into their camps to flatter, and they were unwilling to back down half a step.

After confirming these circumstances, although Zhou Yin, Tian Be, Zhang Er, Gan Gong and others were very worried, and they were more and more sure that the rumors should be true, but they had no choice but to continue to stick to the city camps they were responsible for, and wait for Xiang Kang's arrival with the intention of responding to all changes with the same intention. But what Zhou Yin, the commander of the Western Chu Army, did not expect was that he calmed down and did not provoke the Han army, but the Han Army Zhou Shu's department bullied him and aimed the insult directly at him......

Two days after Zheng Bu stopped fighting, Uncle Zhou's army of the Han army suddenly dispatched a thousand cavalry, bypassing the Julu city until the camp of the Western Chu army under the mountain, and then did not scold the battle, but sent a messenger to play the white flag in front of the West Chu army, and shouted loudly: "Please report to your army Sima Zhou Yin, just say that our General Zhou in order to welcome the arrival of our Han King, let people rehearse a hundred plays related to the Great Sima, I want to ask the Great Sima to appreciate it first, if you can correct the axe, We, General Zhou, must be grateful. ”

The situation report was in front of Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin wondered in his heart, so he led a team of personal soldiers to check the situation in front of the camp, but saw that there were several soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Western Chu army standing in front of the Han army, everyone painted their faces with white powder, pretending to be ridiculous, and then immediately after, seeing the crowds surging in front of the camp of the Western Chu army, the cavalry general of the Han army expected that it must be Zhou Yin who came in person, so he asked the soldiers to blow the silk bamboo brought with the army.

Looking at the appearance of the drama again, Zhou Yin was suddenly so angry that his whole body trembled, it turned out that the drama not only painted his nose with white powder, but also the armor cloak he was wearing was also the armor cloak that Zhou Yin himself spare, and at the same time, the actors wearing the military uniforms of Western Chu suddenly showed a flag, the words and specifications were the same as Zhou Yin's handsome flag, it was obviously deliberately imitated, and the props were deliberately used to humiliate Zhou Yin.

After the official start of the performance, in front of several Han soldiers and soldiers who participated in the performance, the actor who pretended to be Zhou Yin was arrogant and domineering, and said loudly some ridiculous words that he didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the Qin opera, and threatened to capture the king of Han alive and capture Uncle Zhou alive.

Immediately afterwards, the actor who pretended to be Zhou Yin naturally fell into bad luck, leading the Western Chu soldiers to hold props and weapons, and pretending to fight with the Han soldiers in front of everyone, and then several Western Chu soldiers quickly screamed and fled in all directions, and the actors who pretended to be Zhou Yin also ran away, but they fell down by themselves in the embarrassment of the escape, and were beaten by the Han soldiers on his body, and the actors who pretended to be Zhou Yin howled and begged for mercy, saying some insulting words to Zhou Yin.

"Han Jun Ah Weng, Han Army Father, don't fight anymore! The child Zhou Yin knows that he is wrong, the grandson Zhou Yin knows that he is wrong, and the grandson Zhou Yin swears that I will never dare to be the enemy of the Han Army A Weng Han Army father again! You will spare the life of your children and grandchildren, Zhou Yin! ”

Seeing this scene, the Han cavalry lined up outside the camp of course laughed, and the Han soldiers who rode and played Zhou Yin removed his helmet, threw the helmet that Zhou Yin once wore to the ground as a ball, and shouted while kicking, "The head of Zhou Yin's puppet is here!" Zhou Yinpifu, your head is here! Have the ability to come out and get it! Have the ability to come out and get it! ”

People in this era attach the most importance to dignity, and being scolded for a few words may cause death, of course, not to mention such a shameful humiliation, so even if he knew that the Han army was deliberately provoking, Zhou Yin was still so angry that he first smashed his fist on the door of the camp, and then shouted with red eyes: "Send troops!" Kill all these thieves for me! ”

It's a pity that although the Western Chu army, which was also insulted, immediately began to organize cavalry to go out of the camp to assault, the Han cavalry moved faster, and just saw the camp gate of the Western Chu army open, and immediately turned around and ran, running towards the road with the rolling yellow sand, and shouting while running, "Zhou Yin Xiaoer, Zhou Yin Piff, there is a kind of chasing!" You have the ability to chase us! ”

The action was a step slower, and the Western Chu cavalry, who were angry at the bullfight, of course, failed to catch up with this group of Han cavalry, and they were afraid that the Han army would take the opportunity to send troops to fight, so they had just chased near the west gate of the giant deer that was completely blocked, so they could only quickly collect their troops and return to the camp, after the situation was reported to Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said after a while: "Damn Han thief, wait for Lao Tzu!" If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man! ”

…………

Zhou Shujun's actions were quickly reported to their competitors Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche, Li Zuoche sighed and said: "It is worthy of Uncle Zhou, I have prepared so early, if nothing else, Zhou Yinpifu will definitely fall into his trap." ”

"And what are we doing with it?" Zheng Bu said anxiously: "Why don't you hurry up and do it quickly?" If it's late, I'm afraid it'll be too late. ”

"Don't rush." Li Zuoche shook his head and said, "We must wait for us to figure out when the King of Han will be able to reach Julu before we can act, otherwise, once the thief army finds out that the date and distance are not right through careful work, they will definitely not be fooled." ”

Zheng Bu was helpless when he heard it, so he could only calm down and wait patiently for the news from Xiang Kang's side, but fortunately, Xiang Kang set off from Puyang to the north and took a spacious and flat gallop road, and he also came lightly, of course, the speed was extremely fast, so it was just the evening of the same day, Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche received the news, saying that Xiang Kang should be able to arrive at the Julu battlefield within the day after tomorrow. Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche were overjoyed when they heard this, and in addition to immediately making the good news public, they immediately called a messenger prepared in advance, asking him to leave the camp overnight with letters and gifts, and quietly sneak to the east gate of Julu to follow the plan.

So, soon, not long after, the letter jointly signed by Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche, as well as a very valuable gift, was sent to Ben Hao, the guard of the east gate of Julu, by a captured renegade Zhao soldier. Ben Hao, who was quite familiar with Li Zuoche, opened the letter and read it carefully, but saw that the letter was written by Li Zuoche, who had been a strategist of the Zhao army, and the content was in addition to reminiscing about the past, that is, to persuade Ben Hao to surrender the city and quietly dedicate the east gate of Julu to the Han army, and at the same time, Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche also clearly told Ben Hao that Xiang Kang would be able to arrive at Julu the day after tomorrow, and strongly persuaded Ben Hao to sacrifice the east gate of Julu on the night of Xiang Kang's arrival, and help the Zheng Bu Corps of the Han Army to present a meeting gift to Xiang Kang, in exchange for Xiang Kang's rich rewards and high-ranking officials.

If Xiang Kang can really sacrifice the Julu city at the same time as Xiang Kang arrives at Julu, Xiang Kang will be overjoyed, and the reward to Ben Hao will naturally be far more generous than usual, probably taking this into account, after thinking about it for a long time, Ben Hao really happily accepted the persuasion of the Han army to surrender, and promised to throw torches from the city to open the city gate to welcome the Han army into the city at the third watch on the night of Xiang Kang's resistance. The messenger sent by Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche was overjoyed, and hurriedly went out of the city with Ben Hao's reply, and returned to the Han army to report the situation to Zheng Bu.

Still expected by Li Zuo, the Han army messenger just left, Ben Hao immediately took the letter to see the Zhao army commander Gan Gong, Gan Gong saw the worry and joy, of course, the joy is that the Han army took the initiative to send to death, there is a chance to take advantage of, the worry is that the fear of repeating the mistakes of the past, just like not long ago let Liu Jian surrender at the north gate, the ambush of the Han army failed, and was ambushed by the Han army in turn, and then suffered a big loss.

In the end, Ben Hao woke up the dreamer with a word and said: "The general can rest assured, the reason why the last general pretended to agree to sacrifice the city is not actually to lure the Han thieves to steal the city, but to paralyze the Han thieves. Please think about it, since the Han thieves decided to send troops to steal the city the night after tomorrow, or lure us out of the city to ambush, and Xiang Kang's rebels will arrive at the Julu battlefield the day after tomorrow, then tomorrow night, the Han thieves will definitely not have any adequate preparations, and we will take the opportunity to send troops to rob the camp, and we will definitely win a big victory! ”

Gan Gong woke up, patted his thigh and said happily: "Clever plan, this is the truth, Xiang Kang's rebel thief will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the thief is ready to exercise trickery the night after tomorrow, there will definitely be no sufficient preparation tomorrow night, we will send troops to rob the camp, not only has great hope of success, but even if the camp is not robbed, it is very easy to retreat, and there is no need to worry about any big losses!" ”

Seeing that Gan Gong agreed, Ben Hao, who was quite loyal, hurriedly surrendered his hand and asked to be the pioneer of the camp robbery the next night, but after Gan Gong thought about it repeatedly, he did not immediately agree, and said: "Don't worry, our elite has been lost, and there are not many troops that can fight at night. Wait for tomorrow, tomorrow I will first explain Zhang Xiang, and then I will personally go to the Qi army to discuss, and when they agree to send troops to help, we will make a decision. ”

After making this decision, the sky was just dawning, Gan Gong found Zhang Er and told him the situation, Zhang Er was a little reluctant to continue the adventure at first, but he couldn't resist Gan Gong's repeated persuasion, and felt that the opportunity was rare, so he also nodded and agreed to Gan Gong's action.

Seeing Zhang Er's approval, Gan Gong was overjoyed and personally rushed to the Qi army camp to meet with Tian Bu, explained the details to Tian Bu, and asked Tian to be ready, and sent troops to help the army this evening, and also took the initiative to say that the Zhao army served as the pioneer of the camp, the Qi army was responsible for responding, the Zhao army succeeded, and the Qi army followed into the Han military camp to pick up the cheap, if the Zhao army robbed the camp or encountered any accidents, the Qi army was only responsible for responding.

Human nature is greedy, although the general Yu Ling has repeatedly warned that it is not easy to take risks, but seeing that Gan Gong's analysis is reasonable, he feels that it is impossible for the Han army to prepare for an ambush in advance tonight, and seeing that the Zhao army took the initiative to express its willingness to do hard work, and the Qi army is only responsible for covering and picking cheap, Tian Bu thought about it, and still agreed to join forces with the Zhao army to rob the camp.

The matter is not over, after Gan Gong left, when Tian summoned his generals to arrange the tactics of robbing the camp tonight, although his favorite general Yu Ling once reminded Tian not to take risks, but after listening to Tian Bu's careful introduction of the Han army's rebellion, Yu Ling still closed his mouth and agreed to Tian Bu's tactics, and was also entrusted by Tian to lead the army to attack, which made his colleagues very red and got the opportunity to lead the army alone.

It's a pity that Yu Ling seems to refuse to accept this favor, and in the afternoon, Tian Yuan just received the news of Zhao Jun's notification, which proved that Xiang Kang was indeed going to arrive at the Julu battlefield the next day, and Yu Ling, who was supposed to sleep in the military tent, came to Tian Bu again, and said very embarrassed: "General, do you want to think about the plan to send troops to rob the camp tonight?" The last general thought about it and found that it was still too dangerous to do so, and the so-called rebellion of the Han thieves was probably a plan carefully designed by the Han thieves. ”

"What? It's all arranged, and General Ben has already promised General Zhao Guo, do you want General Ben to regret it? ”

"General, whether you regret it or not, it's just a small matter, the safety of our soldiers' lives is the most important thing, please listen to the last general's heartfelt words to you......

…………

When it was all dark, several important figures of the Qi Zhao army were all in mixed moods, Yu Ling prayed silently in the Qi army camp, praying that God would bless his fellow villagers and soldiers to judge correctly, tonight the Han army Zheng Bu Corps really laid out a net to wait for the Qi Zhao army to drill, don't let yourself live up to the trust of the field.

Ben Hao, the loyal general of the Zhao army, sulked in the East Gate City, constantly cursing the Qi allies who broke their promises, causing him to miss this opportunity to kill the enemy and avenge his friend Su Yuan. The commander of the Zhao army, Gan Gong, also had a gloomy face in the Zhao army headquarters, and cursed in a low voice, "Tianbe Xiaoer, greedy for life and afraid of death, and repented of his word, if it weren't for the fact that he asked you now, General Ben would simply ......." Alas, Su Yuanpifu, you are so incompetent, if you hadn't lost a fine light to Ben Shuai's elite soldiers, Ben Shuai would be completely sure to fight this battle alone tonight! Ben Shuai doesn't believe it, today will be a real trap! ”

Unlike these people, in the Han military camp at the same time, Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche, the two level-level bosses of the Han army, were sitting opposite each other drinking, Zheng Bu also raised his glass to Li Zuoche and said with a cruel smile on his face: "Guangwujun, please, have another drink, count the time, the thief army should also come, after drinking this cup, we can appreciate how our soldiers kill the enemy and take revenge!" him, if I don't kill a corpse of the Qi State thief army tonight, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

"General, please, but I really have to have one more drink." Li Zuoche replied with a smile: "The situation tonight is complicated, if nothing else, General Zhou's side should also make a move tonight, general, can you overpower General Zhou, and you have to compete which of us has the most wins." ”

"No comparison, we've won." Zheng Bu replied confidently: "His position is already worse than ours, and he encountered the most difficult Western Chu thief army to deal with, Guangwujun, you have arranged a clever plan again, and arranged for our soldiers to wear the clothes of the Zhao State thief army to mix into the battlefield to fish in troubled waters, this battle is not easy for us to win!" ”

After that, Zheng Bu first drank all the wine in the bronze jue, then put down the wine jue, lowered his voice and said: "To say a word of conscience, in fact, I also hope that the thief army on my side will take the lead and make the Western Chu thief army vigilant, so that we can be more sure to completely overpower Uncle Zhou." ”

"It's human nature." Li Zuoche smiled and said, "If nothing else, there must be many people on General Zhou's side who have this mind." ”

Happiness and sorrow, maybe God taught Zheng Bu too insatiable, and finally survived until the third watch, and the west side of Zhou Shu's army camp, there was a sound of shouting and killing, which proved that Li Zuoche was exactly what he expected, and Zhou Yin, who was completely angered by Uncle Zhou, really took advantage of the opportunity that the Han army should be negligent to send troops to rob the camp, and also told Zheng Bu very unfortunately, he was already in a backward position at the starting stage in this race.

"it!" After scolding angrily, Zheng Bu refused to give up, and roared again: "Calm down, the thief army outside our camp will definitely do it immediately!" ”

To Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche's surprise, Zhou Shujun's side had obviously shouted to kill Zhentian, but after a period of time, the camp of Zheng Bu's corps was still silent, and there was no half of a figure in sight, Zheng Bu still refused to give up, and shouted decisively: "Beat the drums, kill out, and kill the thieves outside our camp!" ”

The war drums sounded, the camp gate was wide open, and the ambush soldiers in the Han army camp who had been gathering momentum for a long time immediately shot out with torches, and at the same time sent light cavalry to step forward, looking for the enemy who must have been lurking outside the camp, and at the same time, the Han army ambushes on both sides of the camp also opened their eyes wide, ready to launch a charge at any time, and in the distance to the northeast, three hundred Han soldiers disguised as Zhao soldiers also stared at each other, just waiting for the opportunity to appear, and immediately pretended to be Zhao army and rushed into the enemy group to fish in troubled waters.

Let Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche vomit blood, after a long time, the army out of the camp actually came to report, saying that there was no enemy found outside the camp, the careful preparation of the army tonight has been in vain, the soldiers who were ambushed inside and outside the camp were all fed mosquitoes in vain, Zheng Bu exclaimed when he heard this: "How is it possible? The Western Chu thief army has already been fooled, why didn't the Qi Zhao thief army fall for me? ”

"What's going on?" At the same time in Uncle Zhou's military camp, Uncle Zhou, Zhou Shu, Cui Guang and others were also inexplicable, and they all said: "How could Zheng Bu's side not succeed?" It stands to reason that with Li Zuoche's ability, it must not be difficult to design and lure the Qi Zhao thief army to send troops to rob the camp? How could it not have been successful? ”

Fortunately, the Han army was not completely hard work tonight, at least the Han army Zhou Shu's corps successfully ambushed the Western Chu army that took the risk of sneak attack, first attacked from three sides, and killed the Western Chu army who sent troops to rob the camp to cry wolf howl, corpses were all over the field, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, taking advantage of the opportunity of the retreat of the Western Chu army to kill the Western Chu army and the rear army with heavy casualties, and the casualties were countless, and Zhou Yin, who personally commanded the attack, roared while fleeing, "Fooled!" Ben Shuai is the uncle of last week's big deal! Uncle Zhou, you give Ben Shuai a look! Wait and see! If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a ——! ”

At this time, the situation on the battlefield had also been reported to Gan Gong and Tian Bu and others, and it turned out that the Zheng Bu Corps of the Han Army had really arranged an ambush, Gan Gong and Ben Hao of course suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and exclaimed together: "It's so dangerous, I almost fell into the big trap of the Han thief again!" It's a good thing we didn't send troops, it's a good thing we didn't send troops! ”

Tian Bu also shouted in the Qi military camp that he was lucky, and couldn't wait to decide to reward his beloved general Yu Ling again, and scolded again: "Zhou Yin, don't say hello to this general when you go out to rob the camp, even if you say it casually, you don't need to suffer such a big loss!" ”

At the same time, Yu Ling hugged his fellow villagers in Lu County again, and said happily: "Brother, thanks to you!" If we hadn't listened to your advice, we would have suffered a big loss tonight! ”

"General, don't be too happy." The fellow villagers were still very calm, and said: "We just avoided the disaster tonight, and then our pressure will be even greater, the Western Chu army and the Zhao army have been hit hard, only our army is intact, and then we not only have to fight the main force, but Zheng Bu of the Han army will definitely not let us go!" If we can't hold out until the king of Western Chu leads the army to help, our Qi army will definitely be unlucky! ”

Among the fellow villagers who were led by Yu, in the Han military camp at the same time, Zheng Bu was really already yelling with red eyes, "Send more people, grab your tongue more, and you must find out to Lao Tzu who broke Lao Tzu's good deeds!" caused Lao Tzu to lose such a big face, Lao Tzu wanted to skin him! ”

There was also a chain reaction, after escaping back to the camp of the Western Chu Army, he probably learned about the situation on the side of the Qi Zhao army, and Zhou Yin, the commander of the Western Chu Army, was also angry, and roared wildly: "Tianbe Xiaoer, you obviously know that the Han thief has a trap set up tonight, and you dare not say hello to this handsome!" Let's see how Ben Shuai settles accounts with you! ”
