Lian Po actually ran into some trouble at this time.

Midday in the summer always feels like there's a heat wave hovering around, even if

The trouble didn't come from the outside, in fact, so far, the siege seemed to be smooth sailing.

Holding on to Chen Cheng was already a very difficult task for the Chu State.

Until 30,000 Chu reinforcements suddenly appeared outside Chen City.

After Lian Po heard the news, he immediately slammed the table.

"What the hell is going on, where did these reinforcements from the Chu State come from?"

In Lian Po's cognition, this is simply not possible.

Now that the alliance of Han, Zhao, Wei and Qi is attacking cities and plundering land in the Chu State, the people of Chu should be too busy to take care of themselves, where did the army come from?

The results of the investigation surprised Lian Po.

Le Cheng said to Lian Po: "General, this army is from the hometown of the Yue Kingdom, mainly the soldiers and horses in Huang Xie's fiefdom, as well as some other Chu nobles. ”

"Huang Xie's soldiers and horses?" Lian Po's brows furrowed slightly, of course he knew where Huang Xie's soldiers and horses came from, it was a place very close to the ocean to the east, which was later called Shanghai.

The old general shook his head, the expression on his face was a little strange: "No, no, if it's from that side, why don't the people of Qi have any reaction?" ”

It stands to reason that from Huang Xie's fiefdom to Chencheng, there will definitely be Huaibei land occupied by the Qi people in the middle, even if the Qi people don't fight with this Chu army, at least they have to inform the Zhao army, right?

"General, the people of Qi have withdrawn."

"What?" Lian Po's eyes widened wider than the copper bell: "Why did the people of Qi withdraw their troops?" ”

Judging from the last scout report a few days ago, the people of Qi can be said to have played a triumphant song all the way, and have completely swept the entire eastern part of the Huaibei region of the Chu State, and are even ready to start marching into Huainan and drinking the Yangtze River.

It's only been a few days, why did the people of Qi withdraw from the army?

Le Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know the last general, but it is said to be related to the Yan Kingdom, and it seems that the Yan Kingdom has sent troops to attack the Qi State again." ”

"Yan Guo?" Lian Po's expression became even more strange: "Shouldn't the Yan Kingdom be our ally, how could they attack the Qi Kingdom?" ”

After a while, the old general shook his hand and decided to put aside the broken matter of Qi State: "That's it, even if the Qi people withdraw their troops and use the combined power of the Three Jins, the people of Chu will not be opponents!" Wait, there's a problem! ”

Lian Po jumped up suddenly, looked at the map with blazing eyes for a while, and then looked up at Le Cheng and said, "Where is the Wei army now?" ”

Le Cheng said: "The Wei people are attacking Suzhou. ”

Lian Po snorted and let out an undisguised sneer: "Suzhou, hum! Suzhou is only two or three days away from the Huai River, 30,000 Chu troops from the Huai River to the north, the Wei army in Suzhou does not know anything, do you think this is possible? ”

Le Cheng suddenly realized and said, "Could it be that the people of Wei and Chu colluded together?" ”

Lian Po shook his head and said, "Now that there is a war between Wei and Chu, and Wei has also occupied the western part of Huaibei, it should not be so easy for the two countries to make peace, but what about the Wei people...... Hmph, I've never been loyal to my Zhao Kingdom! In my opinion, this must be the Wei people deliberately releasing the reinforcements of the Chu State, wanting to use this to consume our strength! ”

When Le Cheng heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed: "This Wei people don't know anything, but now Zhao and Wei are allies, since they are still doing this!" ”

Lian Po also shook his head, his face full of depression.

30,000 troops, more than a little less, just belong to the kind of number that is difficult to swallow in one bite and has enough ability to contain the Zhao army.

In this way, Zhao Jun's next siege of Chen Cheng will no longer be as unscrupulous as before, and the pressure on Chen Cheng will inevitably be reduced a lot.

Just when Lian Po and Lecheng were depressed, a voice sounded outside the tent.

"General, Zhao Kuo has an urgent matter to see!"

"Come in!"

Zhao Kuo walked in.

Five years have passed since the Battle of Changping, and now Zhao Kuo is no longer the guy who was not afraid of everything in the newborn calf, and the five-year military career not only made this horse suit darker and stronger, but also the whole person's temperament has become more calm.

Many military generals of the Zhao State, including Lian Po, believed that as long as Zhao Kuo was given another ten or fifteen years, he would definitely be able to grow into a general like his father Zhao Hao, and he was even expected to be able to win the title of second feudal monarch for their branch!

Lian Po said: "Zhao Kuo, what kind of military situation do you have, just say it." ”

Zhao Kuo's face showed a look of excitement, and said, "General, when our scouts were scouting the movements of the enemy troops outside the city, they unexpectedly found that the enemy troops outside the city had sent secret agents, who seemed to want to get close to Chen Cheng!" ”

"Oh?" Lian Po raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you ever intercepted it?" ”

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said proudly: "General, my Zhao country's cavalry is the first in the world, how can there be a reason that it can't be intercepted?" Although the people of the Chu State have used a lot of tricks, all the messengers have been shot by our army! ”

"All?" Lian Po and Le Cheng's eyes widened, obviously a little unconvinced.

Zhao Kuo looked at these expressions of the two generals, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, and repeated Fang Cai's words again.

"Please also ask the two generals to remember - we, Zhao Bianqi, the first in the world!"

Zhao Kuo brought two thousand of the most elite cavalry and a thousand armored cavalry in the Zhao State Border Cavalry Legion this time, many of these cavalry were super marksmen, and even the birds that flew out of Chen Ying's city were not able to leave the city five miles away, so it was a matter to kill a few messengers who wanted to quietly cross the Zhao army's blockade line?

After Zhao Kuoxian finished posing, he took out a few pieces of silk paper from his arms, carefully put them in front of Lian Po, and made them into a complete piece of paper: "This is something seized from the messenger, please take a look at the general and the general Lecheng!" ”

Lian Po and Le Cheng glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes: "This is the Yin Book?" ”

Yin Shu is a special form of information transmission used to transmit secrets in this era, and it belongs to the highest level of intelligence.

"Hurry up, where is the Danshui, and take it to make this Yin Book visible!"

A bowl of Danshui was splashed on top of the Yin Book, and after a few moments, a few lines of handwriting began to slowly appear.

The three heads were placed side by side on the table, and the three pairs of eyes looked at the Yin book in front of them for a moment.

Lian Po snorted and raised his head first: "What is said in this letter is of no use to us!" "The disappointment is palpable.

In fact, there are two points on this Yin book, the first is that the Chu army that came to support has a total of 36,000 people, and the second is that the leader of this Chu army is the Taishou Zhaohai of Dongyue County of Chu State, and then it is to reassure the king that the ministers will do their best.

But these are all known information for the Zhao army, of course, intercepting these messengers can indeed prevent the soldiers and civilians of the Chu State in Chen Cheng from boosting their morale after learning that reinforcements have arrived, but that's all.

The expression on Le Cheng's face was almost the same as that of Lian Po, and he also had a look of disappointment and a sigh: "I heard that the current war in the direction of Hedong County is unfavorable, if we can't make contributions here, the king must be extremely dissatisfied." ”

Lian Po and Le Cheng glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness on each other's faces.

Only Zhao Kuo's eyes kept turning, and after a long while, he suddenly said: "General, General Lecheng, in fact, I think - this may be a good opportunity to break through Chen Cheng!" ”

"What?" Lian Po and Le Cheng's bodies shook at the same time, and they hurriedly asked, "What plan do you have, don't you hurry up!" ”

Zhao Kuo smiled, suddenly took out another object from his arms, and said in a low voice: "Two generals, please look at this thing." ”

Lian Po and Le Cheng took a closer look, and then their bodies shook at the same time, revealing expressions of surprise and joy: "This thing was also seized by you?" ”

The next moment, two hearty and joyful laughter sounded in the handsome tent, mixed with a loud tremor and Zhao Kuo's scream, as well as Le Cheng's scolding.

"You kid, but you didn't take it out earlier, look for a fight!"
