Chapter 468: The Wise Man Is Suspicious

In fact, it was the Han army itself that killed Tian Private, the Qi State Minister who was canonized by Zhou Shu for Xiang Kang, but the Han Army did not mean to do so, but it was just because the decision-making level of the Han Army's Northern Front Corps did not take Tian Private's eyes too much, and even bothered to send someone to inform Tian Private, so that Tian Private and the Qi State side knew the news that the Han Army's reinforcements were about to arrive on the battlefield in Licheng at the first time, which indirectly led to the rebellion of Tian Wang, the general of Qi who was at odds with Tian Private, and suddenly stabbed Tian Private in the back, not to mention Tian Private's life, and caused the situation of Qi to turn around again.

If the decision-making level of the Northern Front Corps of the Han Army could pay a little attention to Tian Private, and take the initiative to send someone to inform Tian Private and the Qi State of the news, so that Tian Private and Tian Wang, who had not rebelled at that time, knew that the 120,000 Han army was about to come to reinforce, then not to mention that Tian Private was only at odds with Tian Wang, and his prestige could not suppress Tian Wang, who was once at the same level as himself, even if Tian Private slept with Tian Wang's wife in front of him, and then lent Tian Wang ten guts, Tian Wang would never dare to defect to Tian Heng and the Western Chu Army to help!

The reason is also very simple, Tian Zhi is not a thing, he is also the Qi State Xiangguo canonized by the Han army, betraying him is tantamount to betraying the Han army, and the Han army whose reinforcements are about to arrive is safe to win on the battlefield of Qidi, Tian Wang dares to make a private attack on Tian, and the Han army can pinch out his Tian Wang's egg yolk and feed the flies!

The Han army's contempt for Tian private led to the Qi army on the Linzi battlefield not knowing this important situation, so all Tian Wang could know in Linzi was that the reinforcements of the Western Chu army successfully arrived on the Licheng battlefield, which completely reversed the disadvantage of the Chuji coalition army in front of the Han army, and the situation on the battlefield of Qi became extremely unclear, and then coupled with Tian Wang's discord with Tian private, he was very dissatisfied with Tian private's reliance on the thigh of the Han army to ride on his head as a prestige, and he was even more afraid that Tian private would be directly named the king of Qi by the Han army after taking Linzi. Let himself never come out, and finally add the temptation of the king of the Western Chu army, and Tian Heng's side was forced by the situation to join forces with him, Tian Wang weighed it again and again, and found that as long as he killed Tian Private, and then helped the Chuji coalition army defeat the Han army, he would definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of the king of Jiaodong, so Tian Wang finally gritted his teeth and decided to fuck him!

Under the response and cooperation of Tian Heng's rebels, relying on a sudden sneak attack with a knife stabbed in the back, Tian Wang and Tian Heng's two rebels successfully killed Tian Private, who surrendered to the Han army, not only directly took off Tian Private's head, but also divided and annexed the Tian Private's army that was forced to surrender, and strengthened a lot of strength together, but before Tian Wang and Tian Heng discussed how to distribute Tian Private's beautiful wives and concubines, bad news came - 120,000 Han army reinforcements suddenly arrived at the Licheng battlefield, and once again completely overwhelmed the Chuji coalition army that had just received reinforcements in terms of strength.

"Heavenly Emperor, are you playing with us? It was not easy to see a little hope, why did so many reinforcements pop up on the thief's side all of a sudden? Isn't this what it takes our lives for?! ”

This is Tian Heng and Tian Wang's neat roar after knowing this bad news, after the roar, Tian Wang also added in his stomach with great regret, "I knew that the Han thieves would suddenly come out with so many reinforcements, and the widow would rather not be called this king, and dare not slaughter the Han thief's lackey Tian Zhi!" ”

No matter how much you regret it, it is useless, Tian Zhen's head that has been cut off can no longer be put back on his neck that has begun to rot, and in desperation, Tian Heng and Tian Wang can only hurriedly discuss countermeasures, and then when they know that they are not the opponents of the Han army, Tian Heng and Tian Wang can only decide to try to protect their heads and thrones by betraying the Chuji coalition army, and this is why they jointly sent an envoy to contact Uncle Zhou.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, after the head of the messenger who was decisively cut off by Uncle Zhou was sent back to Linzi, Tian Heng and Tian Wang immediately understood that they had no way out, and it was absolutely impossible for Uncle Zhou and Han Jun to forgive them for their capriciousness, so Tian Heng and Tian Wang had no choice but to sit down quickly and discuss the next countermeasures.

said that it was a discussion, in fact, Tian Heng and Tian Wang had no extra choice, except to help the Chuji coalition army and the Han army fight to the end at any cost, no matter what they did, it was doomed, and then they discussed and found that although they poured all their troops into the Licheng battlefield, it was difficult to reverse the situation, but it was not hopeless to meet the Chuji coalition army to break through, and then as long as the Chuji coalition army was persuaded to enter the Qi country eastward, and the four armies joined forces to defend the Qi city, the mountains and rivers were dangerous, there was a great hope of holding the Qi country and blocking the Han army, Therefore, Tian Heng and Tian Wang also quickly made up their minds, and decided to send envoys to try their best to get in touch with the trapped Chuji coalition army, and at the same time empty their family funds to form a coalition army, and rushed to Licheng to meet the Chuji coalition army to break through.

By the way, if Tian Heng and Tian Wang can really get in touch with the Chuji coalition army, other people may hesitate, Liu Laosan, who has always hoped to make a comeback with the help of Qi power, will definitely raise his hands to support the Chuji coalition army to break through in the direction of Qi.

Not to mention, under three feet of scraping the ground, Tian Heng and Tian Wang scraped together, and really hastily formed a Qi coalition army with a scale of nearly 70,000 people, but what made them anxious and helpless was that the four envoys they sent to the Chuji coalition army were all like mud cows into the sea, never returned, and they didn't know if they were intercepted and killed by the Han soldiers who surrounded the Chuji coalition army, or if they could not come out after they went up to Jinjiling.

Of course, it is not a way to wait like this, because of insufficient intelligence, Tian Heng and Tian Wang don't know how long the Chuji coalition army can support on Jinjiling, and they are afraid that once the Chuji coalition army is destroyed, they will be completely isolated and helpless, and they will be tortured to death by the strong Han army, so after Tian Heng and Tian Wang hesitated again and again, they simply decided to send troops directly to Licheng, open up the connection with the Chuji coalition army by force, and help the Chuji coalition army that had been cut off from food aid to break out of the encirclement!

During this period, the Han army of course also closely monitored the movements of the Qi coalition army, the Qi coalition army had just walked out of the border, arrived at the small city of Yuling in Jibei County, the Han army had already sent the news to Uncle Zhou with a fast horse, Uncle Zhou did not dare to slack off when he heard the news, and quickly found the veteran Zhu Jishi of the Han army, so that Zhu Jishi, who was good at fighting tough battles, led 50,000 troops to secretly march eastward to meet the Qi coalition army in the middle of the road, and was solely responsible for killing the Qi coalition army.

Of course, Zhu Jishi, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, accepted this task without hesitation, patting his chest and promising that he would be able to defeat Tian Heng and Tian Wang's rabble, but after listening to Uncle Zhou's overnight division of troops for him, Zhu Jishi was somewhat worried, and hurriedly said to Uncle Zhou: "General, it is not difficult to do this without alarming the Chuji thief army to divide the troops overnight, but after all, it is not a small number to transfer 50,000 troops, and the Chuji thief army may not be able to find out that we have divided our troops through various clues, once they confirm this, I must be able to understand that something has happened in the outside world, and when the time comes, they will take the opportunity to break through, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to completely block them. ”

"Don't worry about that, I'll make arrangements." Uncle Zhou replied: "In short, the thief army of the Qi State will ask you to kill them back, no matter what, we must not let them get close to the Jinjiling battlefield, otherwise, all our previous hard work may be wasted." ”

Zhu Jishi sang a promise, and then hurried back to organize the army to prepare for the division of troops overnight, while Uncle Zhou ordered the Han army officers and soldiers to strengthen the blockade and absolutely not allow any outsiders to enter the Jinjiling camp of the Chuji coalition army.

That night, under the cover of night, 50,000 Han troops quietly evacuated their respective camps in batches, rushed to the east far away from Jinjiling to assemble, and set off at dawn, taking the initiative to meet the Qi coalition army that was killing westward. At the same time, during this period, Uncle Zhou took great pains to arrange the illusion, deliberately lit the same amount of bonfire smoke in the camp as usual, and the banners and drums were exactly the same as usual, and transferred troops from the main battalion to strengthen the reinforcement camp of the army, and even arranged for special personnel to expel the birds and sparrows that might fly into the Han army camp, and tried to arrange the illusion to confuse the enemy, so as not to expose the mystery.

No, after all, it can't be true, although Uncle Zhou's fake image deceived Xiang Zhuang, Ji Bu and Tian Da and others, and even deceived Liu Laosan, who was also an old sparrow on the battlefield, but still couldn't fool Han Xin's eyes, but in the evening of the same day, Han Xin found out that the situation was wrong by arranging someone to secretly steal the number of batches of Han army water transport vehicles, and then Han Xin immediately asked people to step up the monitoring of the Han army camp, and quickly made the Han army transport more than 20% less than usual. The report came to Xiang Zhuang, Tian Da and others.

Of course, this situation also immediately aroused the vigilance of Xiang Zhuang, Tian Da and others, and after a hurried discussion, Xiang Zhuang, Tian Da and others sent a number of Jibei scouts who were familiar with the mountain roads to go down the mountain that night and go over the mountains to the outside world to find out the situation. But fortunately, the blockade circle of the Han army was extremely tight, and the scouts sent by the Chuji coalition army were all captured or intercepted by the Han soldiers who were responsible for blocking the mountains, and did not let a single enemy scout escape from the encirclement, successfully shattering the dream of the Chuji coalition army to explore the outside world on its own.

The matter is not over, after the Han army soldiers intercepted a number of enemy scouts at night and reported to Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou immediately understood that there was still a mistake in the illusion he arranged, and the enemy had discovered that he might have divided his troops, and then the enemy would not only continue to explore the outside world at any cost, but also definitely try his best to grab his tongue and interrogate the confession, and only one of the nearly 200,000 Han and Yan coalition troops surrounding Jinjiling was captured and betrayed, and it was possible to leak the heavenly opportunity. - After all, the transfer of 50,000 troops is not a small number, and any Han sergeant may know about this important situation.

Considering this, and thinking about it for a while, Uncle Zhou made up his mind and said: "The rumor may leak at any time, so I can only take a risk and gamble, if I want to capture the old people, buy a prisoner of the Jibei Army to go up the mountain, and take the initiative to leak the current situation of Qi to the Chuji Thief Army, as well as the situation that we have divided our troops, the Chuji Thief Army will definitely not be gullible, as long as the torture finds out that this prisoner has received our benefits, the Chuji Thief Army will definitely think it is a trap and dare not risk breaking through again." ”

Zhou Shu and Cui Guang, the old men of Shangshan next to him, applauded, and Li Shiqi next to him immediately dissuaded: "The general is slow, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating to do this, please don't forget, Tian Wang's puppet fell because of the rebellion of the Western Chu thief army, this point is impossible for us to know before Tian Wang's puppet moves, we took the initiative to leak the military intelligence of the Qi State, let the Western Chu thief army know the news that Tian Wang's puppet has succeeded, and the Western Chu thief army may immediately understand that this news is true, plus Han Xin's puppet is treacherous and incomparable, If you don't know right away, you can know that we are trying to capture and indulge, trying to scare them into not daring to break through. ”

Considering this, Uncle Zhou could only nod slowly, and then said, "Then in Doctor Li's opinion, what should we do?" ”

"It's better to be still than to be still, and the cunning people must be suspicious, and even if they find out that we have divided our troops, they will definitely suspect that we are deliberately luring them down the mountain to break through." Li Shiqi replied: "So since the news is difficult to completely block, let's just ignore it, and let the Chuji thief army try their best to spy on the news, if there is really a situation where our soldiers are captured, we will pretend to be deliberately letting the Chuji thief army succeed, but it will be easier for the Chuji thief army to figure out our real ......." ”

As Uncle Zhou worried, it was night, and sure enough, an elite of the Chuji coalition army went down the mountain overnight to attack the Han army's defense line, and although the Han soldiers took advantage of the location of the wall and trench to successfully retreat, the two Han soldiers were still nowhere to be found in the melee, and it was obvious that they were caught by the Chuji coalition army......

Since ancient times, it has always been a loyal and unyielding warrior like a rarity, greedy for life and afraid of death of the villain in the market is like the sand of the Yellow River, of course, the Han army is the same, two wounded and captured Han soldiers were tied to Jinjiling, and really did not resist the torture and coercion and temptation of the Chuji coalition army, just arrived in the morning of the same day and confessed, admitting the fact that the Han army had indeed secretly divided a force, and also explained that the Han army had divided its troops in the direction of Qi in the east. - Fortunately, because the high-level of the Han army strictly sealed the news, these two soldiers did not know about the changes that had happened on the side of the Qi State, and no matter how the Chuji Coalition Army tortured them, they could not explain the important information related to the Qi State.

But it was enough, after confirming that the Han army had indeed divided its troops, Xiang Zhuang and Tian Da and others were immediately overjoyed, guessing that there must be a change in the outside, and the Han army was forced to make adjustments, but not only did the soldier immortal Han Xin dare not take it lightly, but the treacherous Liu Laosan also immediately reminded: "Zuo Sima, King of Jibei, don't be too happy too early, we also have to guard against the Han thieves who are in a suspicious formation, ostensibly dividing troops to lure us to break through, but actually ambushing the army they separated on the way we must go south, Waiting for us to break through and fall into the trap. ”

"Zuo Sima, King of Jibei, it's best to be patient and observe it a little longer, and then make a decision." Han Xin also said: "The Han thief reduced the number of water trucks from the day before yesterday, which is enough to prove that the Han thief was secretly divided on the night of the day before yesterday, and now it has only been more than two days, if the Han thief is really forced to divide the army, it will definitely be too late to come back in a short time, we still have time, we can patiently observe for a day or two, and then make a decision is not too late." ”

Xiang Zhuang and Tian Da and others of course also agreed with Han Xin and Liu Laosan's judgment, and at the moment the Chuji coalition army continued to calm down, in addition to deciding to continue to send people out to investigate the situation at any cost, they also strengthened the monitoring of the Han army's camp again, and did not dare to let go of any suspicious clues.

Not to mention, the hard work paid off, under close surveillance, the officers and soldiers of the Western Chu Army really discovered a very suspicious situation - at noon, first the Han army general Li Shang personally visited the Han army defense line that was attacked by the Chuji coalition army last night to inspect the situation, and then in the afternoon, a small group of Han soldiers actually sent two fat pigs and a few goats to the Han army team in charge of this defense line! And after the situation report reached Xiang Zhuang and others, Han Xin and Liu Laosan were also suspicious immediately......

"What the hell are the thieves doing?" Liu Laosan said suspiciously: "Last night, although the Han thieves blocked our army going down the mountain, our army went down the mountain obviously not to break through, even if it was repulsed, there was not much credit, for no reason, what did the merchant give to the Han thief army that participated in the battle last night to reward pigs and sheep?" ”

"We have caught two captives, and the thieves will surely find out if they carefully count the number of soldiers." Han Xin also said quietly: "With the treachery of the Han thieves, it is definitely not difficult to guess that the missing soldier was caught by us on the tongue, and it is even more suspicious to leak the military aircraft and reward the front-line troops." ”

"What do Pei Gong and General Han mean that the Han thief deliberately let us catch the tongue?" Xiang Zhuang also immediately understood what Liu Laosan and Han Xin meant.

Han Xin and Liu Laosan nodded together, all of them thought that this was very possible, Xiang Zhuang was also suspicious, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Don't act rashly first, or wait until you find out the situation of the Han thief, there are many mountains and forests in the west of Jinji Ridge, and the terrain is complicated, if we fall into the trap of the Han thief and enter their ambush circle, it will be a big trouble." ”

Without God's perspective, of course Uncle Zhou didn't know the decision made by Xiang Zhuang and Tian Da and others, so that night, even though he had gone through countless winds and waves, Uncle Zhou was still so worried that he didn't sleep well for a whole night, what he was afraid of was that he was not able to deceive the enemy, and the Chuji coalition army took the opportunity to break through and escape, missing the opportunity to completely annihilate the last main force of the enemy's northern front. In the end, it was still when the sky was twilight, that Uncle Zhou, who had been worried all night, breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he had spent the night safely.

"Calculate the time, Zhu Jishi will be able to stop the Qi State thief army no matter what, I hope he will fight there smoothly and solve the problem in one battle."

When Uncle Zhou was silently chattering, the guard had already brought the washing water in front of him, and Uncle Zhou, who was as strict with himself as Xiang Kang, was about to wash his face with a sackcloth, but he accidentally saw that the guard called less washing water today, and his heart suddenly moved, and blurted out: "I understand, it turns out that I made a mistake in the water problem!" ”

"Immediately send an order to the whole army, tomorrow the water supply of each battalion in the morning and evening will be increased by 10%, and the amount of water transported the day after tomorrow will be decided by me tomorrow night!"

As Uncle Zhou guessed, after patiently observing the Han army for a day, on the morning of the next day, they had just received a scout report from the Han army that they had quietly increased the amount of water in the camp.
