Xiong Huai has always slept very lightly, and as soon as there was a shout outside the room, he immediately woke up and quickly sat up from the bed.

At this time, Jing Yang's shout came from outside the room again: "King, the assassin Shi Ling asks to see, there is a battle report from Qi and Yan!" ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he knew that it was not an illusion, so he immediately shook his head, sobered his head for a while, and then immediately responded: "Okay, the widow knows, please assassinate Shi Ling later, the widow will be there soon." ”

Not long after, Xiong Huai took Jingyang to the hall of the meeting, and saw that Chen Zhen was going back and forth in the hall at this time, and Chen Zhen had a look of urgency on his face.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai was shocked, could it be that Yan Guo was defeated?

Thinking about it, before he walked to the throne and sat down, he asked, "Chen Qing, how was the result?" Who wins and who loses? ”

Chen Zhen hurriedly responded: "Great King, the Yan Kingdom has suffered a heavy defeat, and the defeated army is fleeing towards Qu Rebellion. ”

Xiong Huai was walking to the throne, and when he heard this, his whole body was shocked, and he immediately stopped, looked at Chen Zhen in disbelief, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, how could the Yan army be defeated miserably?" Could it be that the main force of Zhongshan Kingdom secretly arrived in the east? ”

Chen Zhen immediately shook his head when he heard this: "Great King, this is not the case, it was the Qi army that came to help and raided the flank of the Yan army, and the Yan army was taken by surprise, so it collapsed in a battle." ”

"Qi Jun?" Xiong Huai sat on the throne and asked in surprise: "Could it be that those backward Qi troops rushed to the battlefield?" ”

"This can't be?" Jing Yang on the side shook his head and said: "King, the places that Shengzi passes through along the way are all territories controlled by the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan army must know the movements of the Qi army well, and there will definitely be no situation where the backward Qi army arrives, and the Yan army is defenseless." ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Chen Zhen suspiciously: "Chen Qing, what's going on?" ”

Chen Zhen said with a heavy face: "The king, it is not the Shengzi department, but the Tianjia department in the Gaotang Dynasty. At the time of the decisive battle of Qi Yan, the Yan army had already gained the upper hand by virtue of its numerical superiority, and saw that the Qi army was about to retreat. No, Tian Jia led 20,000 technical fighters to suddenly appear on the south side of the battlefield and launched a surprise attack on the flank of the Yan army.

The Yan army was caught off guard, the flank collapsed, and then, three thousand single horsemen of Zhongshan appeared behind the Yan army, and after Tian Jia appeared, Shengzi immediately launched a counterattack against the Yan army.

Later, Shengzi also followed closely behind, pursuing the rout of the Yan State. ”

"Yan Guo is really defeated!" Xiong Huai was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then suddenly reacted: "No, isn't Tian Jia guarding against Zhao Guo in Gaotang?" How could he suddenly appear in the south of the battlefield and launch a surprise attack on the Yan army? ”

Chen Zhen shook his head when he heard this: "King, regarding Tian Jia's sudden appearance on the battlefield, the minister has not yet received specific information. However, from Gaotang to Gucheng, the road is long, and it is not easy to hide from others, and there will definitely be clues. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, pondered for a long time, then raised his head, looked at Jingyang and commanded, "Put the map away!" ”

"Yui!"

Then, Xiong Huai instructed Chen Zhen again: "Chen Qing, immediately send someone to invite Zhuguo and them to come to discuss the matter. ”

"Yui!"

Later, after Jingyang put out the map, Xiong Huai came to the map, and then looked at the location of Gao Tang on the map, and fell into deep thought.

Half an hour later.

Zhao Ju and the others arrived, and when everyone heard that Tian Jia suddenly appeared on the battlefield, causing the Yan army to be defeated, their faces suddenly changed.

Then, Zhao Chang said in disbelief: "How is this possible, the Gaotang of the Qi State went to Gucheng, and it had to pass through the Zhao State and most of the Zhongshan Kingdom, Tian Jia led an army of 20,000 people, how could he hide from everyone's eyes and ears and arrive in Gucheng quietly?"

And that's not all..."

Saying that, Zhao Chang looked at the map that had been hung in the hall and said: "The distance between Gao Tang and Gu Cheng is far more than the distance between the northern land of Qi and Gu Cheng where Shengzi is located.

In this way, how could Tian Jia happen to appear in the south of Gu Cheng the day after Shengzi rushed to Gu Cheng? ”

Zhao Chang's voice fell, and everyone was silent for a while, and then Shen Yifu, the master of the water master, spoke:

"No, although Gaotang is extremely far away from Gucheng, it is actually faster to go from Gaotang to Gucheng." As he spoke, Shen Yifu saw that everyone was looking over, and immediately explained: "The water division is transporting the army, Gaotang is close to the river, Tian Jia can go down the river, and then reach the southern part of Zhongshan through the Zhanghe River, and finally go to Gucheng from the southern part of Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

Zhao Chang thought about it when he heard this, and retorted: "The route that the general said is fast, but this waterway is far away, and it is all controlled by Zhao Guo, how can this avoid everyone's eyes and ears?" ”

"This..." Shen Yifu was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Xiong Huai listened to Zhao Chang's words, turned his eyes to Zhao Guo on the map, and said in a cold tone: "If Qi and Zhao join forces, what if Zhao Guo lends a waterway to Qi State?" ”

The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and then, Zhao Chang looked at King Chu hesitantly and said, "King, this shouldn't be possible!" The relationship between Yan and Zhao is extremely close, and King Yan reveres King Zhao's accession to the throne, and he does not hesitate to meet King Zhao's requirements. ”

Xiong Huai remembered all kinds of abnormalities in Zhao Guo before, and couldn't help but smile coldly: "In addition to this reason, can Xianqing come up with other possibilities?" ”

"This..." Zhao Chang was stunned for a moment, and then his face became extremely ugly.

Then, after ruling out other possibilities, the other people's faces turned ugly.

Then, Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "The king is wise, I think that the reason why Tian Jia can appear on the battlefield must be the result of Zhao Guo's cover. ”

As soon as Zhao Ju's voice fell, Zhao Chang immediately echoed with a heavy face: "King, if the two countries of Qi and Zhao collude, then the Yan State will be in danger, in order to avoid the Yan State from suffering a heavy blow and being greatly weakened by the Qi State, the minister thinks that my Chu State should immediately send troops to attack Qi and attract the Yan Qi army to come back." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, which was also what he was worried about.

Originally, with Zhao Guo as its aid, even if Yan Guo was defeated by Qi, it would be able to retain a considerable part of its strength.

But now...

The southern part of Yan is only connected to the three kingdoms of Qi, Zhao and Zhongshan, Yan was originally allied with Zhao and Qi and Zhongshan as enemies, and now Zhao is betrayed, then Yan is surrounded by enemy countries, and the strength of Yan is not as good as Qi State, plus this fiasco in Qi, it must be extremely dangerous.

What's more, before the State of Qi repeatedly invaded the State of Yan, all of them relied on the rescue of the Three Jins, and now the State of Zhao betrayed the alliance and betrayed the State of Yan, the State of Wei is an ally of the State of Qi, and Korea is too far away, so the Three Jin Dynasty will definitely not go to the rescue of the State of Yan.

In this way, if there are no reinforcements in the Yan Kingdom...

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately spoke: "Zhuqing, this time the widow invited Qing and others to come here late at night, just to discuss how to rescue Yan Guo. ”
