Gongsun Yan sighed: "Meng Weijun, why do you have to do this. NOTICE..."

Before he finished speaking, Tian Wen showed an unwavering look, and directly interrupted: "If the rhino head has other places to teach Wen, Wen will definitely listen to it, but if the rhino head wants to persuade Wen to give up Xue Cheng, then please don't open your mouth." ”

Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment, saw Tian Wen's face showing firmness, and sighed: "Although Meng Yanjun is unwilling to give up Xue Cheng, after the old man goes back, he will still persuade the King of Chu and the King of Song to give Meng Yanjun a day to think about it, hoping that Meng Yanjun can think carefully." ”

After speaking, Gongsun Yan shook his head and sighed and turned to leave.

Xiong Huai saw that Gongsun Yan had returned from outside Xue Cheng, and his face was not half happy, so he knew that persuading Tian Wen had failed.

However, Xiong Huai didn't care, he and King Song didn't have any hope for this matter, the purpose of this move was just to paralyze Tian Wen.

Moreover, Xiong Huai and King Song appeared outside Xue Cheng at the same time with great fanfare, also to paralyze Tian Wen, and to tell Tian Wen that the main force of the Chu and Song coalition forces was still outside Xue Cheng.

Gongsun Yan came to the front and back of Xiong Huai's chariot and arched his hand: "The minister is incompetent and failed to convince Tian Wen. ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "It's okay, the rhino head can call Tian Wen out, this is a success." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai and King Song glanced at each other and said, "King Song, you and I still have important things to do today, so it's better to leave here, how about it." ”

King Song nodded, then stretched out a hand and said, "King Chu, please." ”

At this time, the military camps of Chu and Song were all in the same situation, and most of the soldiers in the barracks were busy setting up straw men and dressing them.

Outside the camp, a large number of scouts were patrolling, not giving Xue Cheng scouts a chance to get close to the camp.

At the same time, in Xue Chengzhong, Tian Wen and Zhai Zhang were talking at the top, while Tian Wen's disciples were talking about it, all speculating about the intentions of Chu and Song.

"Envoy, since Wei has declared war on Song, why do the kings of Chu and Song give me a day to think about it. It must be known that every day that the Song State is delayed outside Xue City now, there will be more dangers in the Song State, even if the Chu State can afford to wait, the Song State cannot afford to wait. In short, King Song would never have thought that I would really abandon the city. ”

Hearing Tian Wen's inquiry, Zhai Zhang wrinkled his forehead, and in vain remembered the scene when he was threatened by the monarchs and ministers of Chu in the Chu camp last night.

Could it be that the so-called giving Meng Shanjun a day to think about it is actually not given to Meng Shanjun, but to Wei State.

The state of Chu hoped that the state of Wei would stop, otherwise, a day later, the army of the Chu and Song dynasties would go north and make an example of the state of Wei first.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the suspension of the siege of the city by the Chu and Song dynasties.

Suspend the siege, isn't this just a blow to the morale of the Chu and Song coalition forces and give Xue Cheng a chance to breathe.

Thinking about it, Zhai Zhang suddenly became a little restless.

Looking at Zhai Zhang's state, Tian Wen's heart was like a mirror, and he immediately knew what Zhai Zhang knew.

So, he asked, "Messenger, you have already noticed it in your heart. ”

Zhai Zhang nodded: "Yes, yesterday the envoy declared war on King Song, and King Song was shocked and frightened. Therefore, I suspect that the King of Song must have asked for help from the Chu State when he was worried about the country. ”

Zhai Zhang did not say that he was intimidated after declaring war in the Chu camp, not only was it a shame, but he was more worried that after Qi Guo knew that Chu State planned to shift his attention to Wei State, he would plan to let Wei State and Chu State fight for a while first.

Tian Wen perked up and said with great joy: "What the envoy means is that the King of Song was frightened by the Wei State and retreated, and he also asked the King of Chu for help. ”

Zhai Zhang nodded slightly: "That's right." ”

Hearing this, Tian Wen immediately bounced up from his seat, and said with a smile: "That is to say, now the Chu and Song countries have no intention of Xue Cheng and plan to retreat." ”

At this moment, Tian Wen didn't care about Zhai Zhang's gradually darkening face.

For Tian Wen, as long as Xue Cheng is fine, it will be a good thing whether the Chu and Song coalition forces want to trouble Wei next or pay attention to Qi State.

What Tian Wen didn't care about, his disciples couldn't help but care, Wei Xian got up and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what the Chu and Song countries plan to do, our top priority now is to find out the situation of the Chu and Song countries clearly, and provide accurate information for the great war between the Qi and Wei coalition forces and the Chu and Song countries." ”

was reminded by the doorman, Tian Wen reacted: "Yes, no matter what the Chu and Song countries want to do, we have to have their intelligence." ”

Saying that, Tian Wen said to the doorman Tang Li: "Sir, the matter of inquiring about intelligence is entrusted to you." ”

Tang Li responded: "Your Excellency, rest assured, Wei has declared war, leaving a very short time for Chu and Song to react, whether to fight or retreat, there will be results in two days today and tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

······

It's noon.

After getting the situation of the Chu and Song camps, Tang Li immediately reported to Tian Wen: "Your Majesty, the scouts are visiting, the defense of the camp by the Chu and Song dynasties is very tight, and our spy envoys have been close to the intelligence, but most of them have failed. The few spies who approached the Chu camp got the information that the camp was densely populated with flags, making it difficult to see through the inside of the camp. However, in the Chu Song camp, everyone was very noisy, and I didn't know what happened in the camp. ”

Tian Wen nodded: "Explore again." ”

"No."

At dusk.

"Your Majesty, the situation outside the city is still unknown. However, the spies we arranged in Zhongwu City came to report that two days earlier, the Chu army had suddenly left Zhongwu City and then headed west, with an unknown destination. ”

"Huh?" Tian Wen was suspicious in his heart: "Zhongwu City is the retreat route of the Chu army, and it has always been defended by 20,000 Chu troops, so as not to cut off the grain route and retreat route of the Chu State. Now that the Chu army has withdrawn, doesn't the king of Chu even want a way out? ”

Tang Li responded: "Your Majesty, it's not that the king of Chu doesn't want to retreat, but that the retreat of the state of Chu has changed." ”

"Changed?"

Tang Li nodded: "Your Majesty, to the west of Zhongwu City is Pengcheng of the Song Kingdom, and the Chu army is rushing west, undoubtedly planning to go to Pengcheng." ”

Tian Wen thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Immediately pass these news to Tian Jia, and say that the king of Chu is likely to run away." ”

"No."

Late at night.

Chu Yingzhong.

At this moment, Xiong Huai asked Gongsun Yan energetically, "Rhino Head, are you ready?" ”

Gongsun Yan nodded and said, "Great King, the battalion sergeant is ready, and in addition, a large number of scouts have been sent to the area of ten miles to the east to repeatedly check to ensure that there are no spies from Xue Cheng." ”

After a pause, he continued: "King, the guards in the camp have been replaced by straw men, after the army sets off, the scouts who intercepted Xue Cheng's spies outside the camp will be evacuated, and then, as soon as the second half of tonight, and at the slowest tomorrow morning, Tian Wen will find us leaving." In addition, the minister will leave the trail of the march after the army, and will let Tian Wen find our traces as soon as possible. ”

Xiong Huai nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, let's go." ”

"Yui."
