The previous military strategy suggestions have never been adopted by the Wei army, and the impression that Uncle Zhou left on the generals of the Wei army is too deep, and he found that he was so timid that he took the Han army to slip away in advance, and the brave Wei general Bai Zhi decisively led the elite of the Wei army to launch a pursuit, not to mention, the Wei generals Feng Jing and Zhang Zhi, who were able to fight well, also decisively led the Wei army's rear team to dispatch urgently, and slaughtered the Han army Zhou Shu's department that fled shamelessly.

Even Wei Bao, the king of Western Wei who was canonized by Xiang Yu, was the same, on the morning of the second day when Uncle Zhou slipped away, after receiving the battle report from the front, he learned that Uncle Zhou, the former minister of Wei, had fled, and Wei Bao, who was also very unimpressed with Uncle Zhou, was also very determined, and felt that even if he couldn't win a big battle this time, at least he would teach Uncle Zhou an absolute certainty, and he was no longer so worried about the battle situation on the front line, and he also saved time and energy to care about his palace problems.

As the earliest capital of Wei, there is also a fairly large palace in Anyi City, but unfortunately after Wei moved the capital to Daliang, Anyi Palace began to gradually abandon, and after hundreds of years of war, the former Anyi Palace has long been dilapidated and withered, almost the same ruins, can not continue to live at all, after Wei Bao took over Anyi, he can only temporarily live in the county guard of Hedong County. However, after all, the foundation of the palace is still there, and many things in the ruins can still be used, so taking advantage of a little leisure, Wei Bao still came to the old palace of Wei to check the situation in person, wanting to see if he could rebuild a palace of the king of Wei on the ruins of the old palace.

It is a pity that the interior of the Wei Palace ruins is more dilapidated than it looks from the outside, there is hardly a place where the grass is not waist-deep, there are nests of nests everywhere, snakes and insects can occasionally be seen, the broken staircase sculptures are also overgrown with moss and weeds, the hall is crooked, there is not a single intact house left, and the walls of the palace are also dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and deserted like ancient tombs.

"It can only be completely demolished and rebuilt." Wei Bao came to a conclusion, and asked the accompanying Shaofu: "Estimate, how much food and time will it take to rebuild this Wei Palace?" ”

"This ......." Shaofu's face was full of embarrassment, and he replied: "Back to the king, how much time and money will be spent on rebuilding must be carefully surveyed and measured before it can be roughly calculated, but it is definitely not a small number, and it cannot be completed in a year and a half." ”

"Draw up a reconstruction plan for me as soon as possible and give me an approximate figure." Wei Bao instructed: "Don't worry too much about money and grain, now that the Central Plains is in chaos, the roads are blocked, the price of salt is soaring, and there is a salt pond in Hedong in our hands, so we don't have to worry about not being able to raise money and grain." ”

Shaofu hurriedly agreed, but secretly complained in his heart, because although the price of salt in the Central Plains and Guanzhong has indeed soared, and the Wei State, which has a salt pond in hand, does have a steady stream of wealth, but after the chaos, the population of Hedong has decreased sharply, and it is obviously not easy to rebuild the Wei Palace.

There is no way to complain, I dare not disobey Wei Bao's order, and the Shaofu of Wei can only hurry up to think about how to rebuild the Wei Palace step by step, Wei Bao is too lazy to continue to waste time in the ruins of the withered Wei Palace, leading the guards with bright clothes and armor to go directly out of the palace to board the car, ready to return to the temporary accommodation to rest, the officials and guards waiting outside the palace and some onlookers also hurriedly bowed and saluted, and respectfully waited for Wei Bao to board the car.

There was an accident, when I returned to the front of the Shoufu of Hedong County by car, there happened to be a waiter who came to report, saying that Wei Bao's mother was occasionally unwell, and Wei Bao, who was still filial, did not dare to slack off, and was busy until the backyard to visit his mother, and also to his mother's residence, only to find that there were already several Wei officials' daughters who had been one step ahead of him and came to serve Wei's mother's decoction, Wei Bao didn't care about these women, but quickly stepped forward to greet him and ask his mother about her current situation.

Fortunately, Wei's mother was just a little nervous and flustered because of the water and soil, and her diet was also a little unbalanced, not a too serious illness, and the medical worker also said that there was no big problem, Wei Bao was a little relieved, and Wei's mother also asked Wei Bao's situation in turn, and said, "Wang, where did you go?" ”

"I went back to the old palace of our Wei Kingdom to see the situation." Wei Bao replied truthfully: "The child wants to rebuild the Wei Palace as soon as possible, so that your mother can have a better place to live." ”

"It's good here, don't rush." Wei Bao's mother was more considerate of the people's feelings, and said: "Now that the war is in chaos, don't rush to rebuild the palace, save money and grain and give priority to the national economy and people's livelihood, this is the right way." ”

Wei Bao prevaricated casually, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he noticed a beautiful girl standing in the corner, and couldn't help but ask her, "Where are you from?" What is the last name called? How come I've never seen you before? ”

The girl was very shy and shy, blushing and not daring to answer, but a richly dressed middle-aged woman immediately stood beside her, and said with a smile on her face: "Wang, she is the daughter of a little woman, her surname is thin, and she is also a relative of you, and you are the same generation as the king." Daughter, why don't you give your brother a salute? ”

Bo Zhanzhi was helpless, so he could only follow his mother Wei Yuan's instructions, and stepped forward to greet Wei Bao with a shy answer, and Wei Bao immediately recognized Wei Yuan, a distant relative who came to his army to eat and drink with a dead face, so he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Wei Yuan's daughter, it's so beautiful, have you married?" ”

If it was replaced in the past, Wei Yuan, who was more snobbish than Mr. Uncle Sun, would definitely not be polite, and would definitely immediately push the boat down the river and dedicate her beautiful daughter to Wei Bao to sleep, but unfortunately the situation is different now, Wei Yuan, who already has another candidate for a golden beetle son-in-law in her heart, didn't even blink her eyelids, and immediately replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, she has already set a family affair." ”

"There is already a family affair?" Wei Bao was a little disappointed, but when he carefully looked at Bo Zhanzhi's moving appearance, Wei Bao still refused to give up, and asked with a smile: "What kind of son is it allowed for?" Are we Wei people? ”

The snobbish Wei Yuan didn't dare to continue the nonsense, but fortunately, at this time, the maid suddenly sent the freshly boiled decoction, and Wei Bao, who wanted to pretend to be filial, could only quickly take the medicine bowl and personally serve his mother to drink the medicine.

It's useless to escape, Wei Bao has already set his eyes on his distant cousin Bo Zhanzhi, watching Bo Zhanzhi leave with the corner of his eye, Wei Bao still said in his heart: "It doesn't matter if you are married or not, as long as you are taken by the widow, you don't want to fly away even if you put on your wings, and when the widow has time, you must take your little sister and talk carefully." ”

…………

When Wei Bao made up his mind, the main force of the Wei army had already chased after Zhou Shu's department, and arrived near the platform located more than 40 miles northeast of Puban, although the two armies were lightly armed, and they were also marching along the wide and flat gallop road in the plain, but after a rapid march of about 60 miles, whether it was the Han army led by Zhou Shu or the elite troops of the Wei army led by Bai Zhi, they were all exhausted and out of breath, and their physical strength was seriously reduced.

Looking at the densely wooded hills in the northwest, and looking back to see that the Wei army had gradually distanced itself and might give up the pursuit at any time, Uncle Zhou decisively ordered the army to stop advancing and form a formation on the spot to prepare for battle. Then, as Uncle Zhou expected, seeing that the Han army stopped, Bai Zhi, an old colleague who had already planned to give up the pursuit, immediately shouted and shouted: "Uncle Zhou's puppet can't run, catch up and kill the thief army in Guanzhong for me!" ”

According to Bai Zhi's order, the exhausted elite of the Wei army forcibly bred up their spirits and continued to advance, and soon approached the position of the Han army, and immediately formed a formation to prepare for battle. As a result, at this time, a soldier with a white flag suddenly rode out of the Han army, trotted in front of the Wei army, and shouted: "Please General Bai Zhi come out to answer." ”

Glancing contemptuously at the envoy of the Han army, Bai straightened his mouth to the captain of his own army, and the captain of the army understood, and immediately slapped his horse forward, and shouted loudly: "If you have something to say, let it go, what kind of thing are you, and dare to ask our General Bai to come out and answer you?" ”

"Please report to General Bai, although our General Zhou and he were colleagues in the same country, we have long wanted to compete with him." The envoy sent by Uncle Zhou said loudly: "But now your and our two armies are tired and hungry, and the fight is not enough fun, our General Zhou hopes that General Bai will be as patient as he is for the time being, let our two armies rest for an hour, and then fight to the death happily, please General Bai must agree." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier immediately returned to the Wei army's flag formation and reported Uncle Zhou's request to Bai Zhi, who laughed and said: "Go back and tell Uncle Zhou's envoy that Lao Tzu agreed to his request, rest for an hour first, and then we will fight to the death." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier took the order and left, and the general next to him hurriedly reminded: "General, could Uncle Zhou be playing a strategy of delaying the army, wanting to delay the time for the time being, and wait for his reinforcements to come to reinforce him?" ”

"He has reinforcements, and we don't have them?" Bai Zhi sneered and said, "Don't forget, General Feng Jing and General Zhang Zhi are also rushing here, and an hour is enough time for them to rush here." ”

After that, Bai Zhi also sent someone to give an order to the rear team, ordering Feng Jing and Zhang Zhier to speed up their progress and rush to reinforce him as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered the Wei soldiers to seize the time to rest, eat and drink to recover their strength, so as to kill all of Uncle Zhou's troops. During this period, another general proposed that Bai Zhi send scouts to the northwest of the pile to investigate in detail, in case the Han army hid ambushes in the hilly and mountainous areas, Bai Zhi also shook his head with a smile, and said: "No longer bother, if there are ambushes in the Guanzhong thief army, they will be killed a long time ago, so much time will be wasted?" ”

At this time, the captain of the pro-soldier has also reached a verbal promise to temporarily rest for an hour on behalf of Bai Zhi and Uncle Zhou's envoy, and the two armies are facing each other about two miles apart, and each other is seizing the time to rest and eat, competing to see who can recover his strength faster, and also staring at each other's backs, carefully guarding against the sudden arrival of the opponent's reinforcements.

The one who is close to the ink is black, Uncle Zhou, who originally had a very good character, was indeed damaged by Xiang Kang, and offered to rest for an hour and fight again, but just after half an hour, more than 10,000 Han soldiers suddenly pulled out their feet together, changed the rear team to the front team, and under the leadership of Uncle Zhou's banner, they rushed towards Pusaka. Bai Zhi was of course furious when he saw it, and yelled: "Chase! Kill Uncle Zhou's untrustworthy uncle for me! ”

In the shout, the elite of the 8,000 Wei army rushed to catch up, and slaughtered the untrustworthy Han army Zhou Shu's department with great momentum, and the soldiers of the Han army were all non-stop, even rolling and crawling, and they only hated their father and mother for giving birth to two roads, and during the period, there were constantly cases of soldiers falling behind, revealing the true colors of the rabble recruits.

The battlefield experience is relatively rich, the overall quality of the elite of the Wei army is indeed stronger than the temporary conscription of the Han army recruits, the Han army has just escaped the platform, the elite of the Wei army has successfully caught up with the Han army, Zhou Shu is forced to helpless, can only hurriedly order the Han army soldiers to form a circle formation, take a comprehensive defensive position to contend with the Wei army, since the skin has been torn off, between the Han army and the Wei army, this is also the real sense of the contest.

It is a pity that the process of the contest is that the Han army is obviously at a disadvantage, the battlefield experience is seriously insufficient, the Han army was not able to hastily establish a strict circle formation to effectively resist the attack of the Wei army, and the relatively experienced Wei army directly seized the opportunity of hand-to-hand combat, forced to fight with the Wei army in close combat in the case of chaos in the queue, and continued to magnify the weakness of the lack of experience, and was killed and wounded by the Wei army, while the Wei army was highly moraled, roaring to connect and kill the Han army columns, and constantly advanced towards the Zhou Shushuai banner inside the Han army's round array.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhou had already anticipated this possibility, and decisively led the two thousand troops directly under him to step forward to block the gap that had been torn open by the Wei army, and the troops directly under Uncle Zhou, which was composed of all veterans of the Young Marshal Army, also relied on more rich battlefield experience and melee ability through countless actual combat exercises, successfully blocked the Wei army's tidal offensive, barely stabilized the Han army's position, and bought time for the Han army recruits in the other three directions to gain a stable position.

However, the Han army was still in an all-round disadvantage, and the experienced Wei army through a tentative attack found that the combat effectiveness of the Han army in the three directions of the northwest and south was not too strong, and immediately adjusted the direction of the main attack, and instead attacked the Han army's position from the north.

During this period, the generals of the Han army who knew the inside story all persuaded Uncle Zhou to send a signal to quickly reverse the current passive situation, but Uncle Zhou was not moved at all and said: "Don't worry, calm down and let go of the line, we can catch a big fish." ”

Uncle Zhou did not wait in vain, and held on for a while, the smoke and dust were billowing on the road from the east, and the rear team of the Wei army led by Feng Jing and Zhang Zhi finally rushed to the vicinity of the battlefield, but saw that the main attack of the Wei army still had a clear advantage, Feng Jing and Zhang Zhi only left more than 1,000 soldiers to guard the baggage vehicles, and couldn't wait to bring the rear army brigade to reinforcements, excitedly shouting to kill the Han army that was at a disadvantage.

"It's finally here." Uncle Zhou smiled slightly, and then only after the rear team of the Wei army had fully crossed the stacking platform did Uncle Zhou roar, "Beat the drums, general attack!" ”

Dozens of war drums sounded together, and as a result, when they heard the general attack signal sent by the Han army first, most of the Han soldiers and all the Wei soldiers were dumbfounded, and they didn't understand why the Han army, which was being pressed and beaten by the Wei army, launched a general attack? Or is it a counteroffensive on the basis of a circle formation that is not conducive to the offensive at all? Bai Zhi, who was supervising the battle in the rear, was also a little flustered, and then laughed loudly: "Uncle Zhou, you are really incompetent to the extreme!" If you want to retreat and flee for your life, you can even give the wrong order! ”

"Kill——!"

The sudden shouting of killing interrupted Bai Zhi's wild laughter, and in the mouth-barred gaze of the Wei soldiers, in the mountains and forests that had been silent before, countless crimson banners and Han soldiers were suddenly killed, and they were directly killed behind the Wei army like a tide, and Bai Zhi shouted in disbelief: "There are ambush soldiers!" How can it be? Uncle Zhou is so calm, only at this time to send out an ambush?! ”

Bai Zhi also quickly understood why Uncle Zhou was so calm, seeing that the Han army ambushed suddenly, the rear team of the Wei army led by Feng Jing and Bai Zhi decisively turned around to meet the attack, but they marched seventy miles in the middle of the night, and now how much physical strength do the soldiers have left? The two armies were connected, only one charged, and the long-standing Han army ambushed the exhausted Wei army in a big mess, and the soldiers fled in all directions, and countless people died.

The situation on Bai Zhi's side was also just as miserable, seeing that the Han army ambushed the soldiers suddenly, and the army was in a panic, the morale of the front team of the Wei army, which could only be regarded as a second-rate army, was suddenly frustrated, and the combat effectiveness was immediately directly affected. The soldiers of the Han army, who were mostly recruits, were diametrically opposed, and their morale was greatly boosted when they saw the arrival of their helpers, and they began to play the heroic nature of fighting a good battle.

The next battle can only be described as a one-sided massacre, under the leadership of Lu Kuang and Ling Yi, two veterans of the young marshal army, the Han army's ambush morale was like a rainbow, chopping melons and vegetables like a crazy massacre of the Wei army's rear team with a serious decline in physical strength, until the Wei army's rear team was killed all over the field, and the blood flowed, but in a moment, the Wei army's rear team was killed to the ground and completely collapsed. Then he killed the front team of the Wei army led by Bai Zhi like a tiger down the mountain, the front team of the Wei army had already been killed by Uncle Zhou's department and was overwhelmed, and saw the rapid collapse of the rear team of the army, and the Han army ambush rushed fiercely.

At this time, a large number of Han army recruits can finally show their skills, without Uncle Zhou's order, the Han army recruits who were trampled on the feet and rubbed by the Wei army before have spontaneously started to pursue, roaring and killing more fiercely and faster than the young marshal army veterans, cutting down and chopping down one after another Wei soldiers, excitedly cutting off the head to accumulate military merits, capturing prisoners in exchange for rewards, fierce like hungry wolves chasing sheep on the grassland. The soldiers of the Wei army faithfully played the role of sheep, crying and shouting just desperately fleeing, and not a single soldier dared to turn back to fight, let alone organize the team behind the palace to fight to the death, covering the main force to flee and retreat.

Uncle Zhou personally promoted the Han general Li Bi from the recruits in Guanzhong to make a great achievement, in the chase, Li Bi, who is excellent at riding, led a team of Han cavalry, and stared closely at Bai Zhi, the general of the Wei army wearing conspicuous robes, all the way to slash and desperately pursue, only chased out five or six miles away, and successfully pursued and killed Bai Zhi's back, Bai Zhi hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to turn back and fight to the death, but unfortunately his personal soldiers were obviously not loyal enough, only half of them turned around to intercept, and were quickly dispersed by the Han cavalry led by Li Bi, during which Li Bi also saw the opportunity, Suddenly threw the spear in his hand, the spear flew out of the air, in the middle of Bai Zhi's war horse hips, Bai Zhi's war horse was in pain, first neighed and stood up, and then pulled Bai Zhi's hooves on the battlefield and ran wildly, running wildly, and also turned Bai Zhi, who did not have a Takahashi saddle and stirrups, directly turned the war horse upside down, fell dizzy, and his head was broken and bleeding.

"Ouch, brute! It hurts me to death! ”

After falling off the horse, before the poor General Bai Zhi struggled to get up, the Han cavalry led by Li Bi had already rushed up to surround him, and several sharp spears with blood were also pointed at him, and the poor General Bai Zhi was in a state of disarray, and quickly raised his hand and shouted: "Don't kill me!" I give up! I am Bai Zhi, the general of the Wei State, I and your Han State Uncle Zhou General Zhou are not only old friends, but also a lifelong friendship, you must not kill me, take me to see General Zhou, he will give you a heavy reward! ”

"You have a fateful friendship with our General Zhou?" Li Bi asked a little strangely: "But how did our General Zhou say that when he was in the Wei army before, General Bai, you have always looked down on him, never put him in your eyes, and have never been polite to him?" ”

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstand! Definitely a misunderstanding! General Zhou, he is joking with you, he and I actually have a very good relationship, I also invited him to dinner, and call each other brothers, it is even closer than brothers! ”
