A few days later, Sima Jian came to Dianjiang City with 30,000 Chu troops.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Xuan and Ji Xi also rushed to Dianjiang with 20,000 reinforcements from Chongba and Pakistan.

For a time, 100,000 troops were gathered in Dianjiang City to prepare for the Qin army that would arrive at any time.

On the other side, after Sima Cuo was welcomed into Shu, he directly reorganized the more than 10,000 troops who blocked the road and the 10,000 Qin troops who responded to it, and then directly led the 120,000 troops to Dianjiang City.

Half a month later, when Sima Coo arrived at Dianjiang City, the 30,000 partial divisions who took the ancient road of Micang had already arrived in Dianjiang for three days, and had already built a large camp outside the city, and were intensively building siege equipment.

After Sima Coo arrived at Dianjiang, for a while, the clouds of a big battle hung over Dianjiang.

And when the battle of Dianjiang was about to break out, the war on the other side was nearing the end.

Twenty days ago, the Chu army camp outside Yunguan.

Chu Guoyuan's Shangyong Assassin Shi Huang Ke reported to Zhao Juyu: "Zhu Guo, on the order of the assassin Shi, knows that all the departments of Beiya will fully assist Zhu Guo to contact Shangyong all places. After nearly 20 days of contact, Zai Xia has already contacted the internal response in the cities of Shangyong, and as soon as the army of the Pillar State arrives, it can echo in the city. ”

"Good! There is a history of yellow thorns. Zhao Ju nodded calmly, and then asked: "Huang Thorn Shi, this general ordered you to investigate the matter of Xiangchengjun Sima and Changli County Lieutenant who retreated to the mountains after the defeat of Shangyong's army, can there be any news?" ”

Huang Ke nodded and replied: "Back to Zhuguo, after the spies investigated, that Zheng Dang is indeed Xiangchengjun Sima, and after the defeat, he has been retreating to the mountains, relying on the support of nobles from all over the vicinity to persevere." Similarly, Changli County Lieutenant Lu Feng is the same, he was originally a disciple of Changli County Yin, and after the death of Changli County Yin, he led the army to retreat to the mountain, so today. ”

Zhao Ju was unmoved, and then looked at his doorman Huan Zang: "Have Zheng Dang and Lu Feng moved in the army in the past two days?" ”

Huan Zang arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, since Zheng Dang and Lu Feng arrived at the camp three days ago, they have not been able to see your lord, although the two of them are dissatisfied, but they have not left, but have always hoped to see your lord through the ministers. ”

"Okay, let them come to see the general later."

"No!"

Then, Huang Ke arched his hand and said: "Zhu Guo, where did I get the news through the history of the Hanzhong Assassin, not long ago, the Qin army in Hanzhong suddenly went to Nanzheng, but Nanzheng's spies did not find that the Qin army in Hanzhong had arrived in Nanzheng. Hanzhong Thorn History saw that there was something strange, so he specially let Zhu Guo be informed. ”

"The Qin army in Hanzhong is gone?" Zhao Ju pondered slightly, and then had a guess: "Hanzhong is sandwiched between Shangyong and Nanzheng, and was only taken away by the Qin State a few months ago. At this time, the Qin army left..."

Zhao Ju smiled and said: "Shangyong has 20,000 Qin troops, and the 2,000 Qin troops in Hanzhong are just a drop in the bucket for Shangyong, more than him, less than him, 2,000 Qin troops are meaningless to Shangyong." And Nanzheng has always been the territory of the Qin State, and the Qin army in Hanzhong will not go to Nanzheng.

Therefore, if the general is not bad, the Qin army in Hanzhong, as well as the Qin army in Nanzheng, should all go to Badi for reinforcements. ”

Huang Ke was stunned and asked hesitantly: "Zhuguo is talking about the Rice Cang Ancient Road!" ”

"Exactly!"

"Oops!" Huan Zang was shocked: "If the Qin army arrives in Badi ahead of schedule, causing the two countries to dare not resist, then Sima Jian who is attacking Badi will probably be in big trouble." Moreover, once Dianjiang, the transportation point of Bashu, is still in the hands of Qin, then Qin's reinforcements can attack Shu from the east, so that Shu is newly established, the people do not believe it, and the ministers do not attach it, and Shu Houhui is afraid that he will not be able to withstand it. ”

Huang Ke's face changed when he heard this: "It's not good, General Sima has insufficient troops, if you wait for the Qin army to arrive, the king's plans in Bashu will all come to naught." No, I must inform Thorn Shiling of this matter as soon as possible. ”

Seeing Huang Ke's resignation, Zhao Ju immediately stopped and said: "Huang Thorn History, it will take about a month to go from Nanzheng to Badi through the Micang Ancient Road, this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, just send someone back to Yingdu to inform the king."

And Shangyong is not the case here, now Ben Jiang has done all the preparations, the arrow is already on the string, about to be shot, it will be seen in a few days, and the assassin Shi will stay in Shangyong to help Ben Jiang. ”

"This..." Huang Ke thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, please also ask Zhu Guo to command, and I will do my best to help in the future." ”

"Okay." Zhao Ju smiled, and then asked: "Huang Thorn Shi, Ben General knows that there are 1,000 Qin troops stationed on the Qin Army's Qishan Trail, I don't know if Thorn Shi can help Ben General pull out this nail." ”

"Please show me the country." Huang Ke arched his hand.

"Huang Thorn History, if the general knows no bad, the Qin army on this path in Qishan is far away from Yun County, so Yun County sends food every half month."

Huang Ke nodded and said, "Zhuguo knows well, according to the spies, the last time Yunxian sent grain was eight days ago. Moreover, because Zhu Guo led the army to be stationed outside Yunguan, the Qin army in Yunxian County did not dare to go out of the city to send grain, so as not to give the people in the city an opportunity, so the last time the grain was sent was fifty Qin troops and three hundred strong men to transport grain. ”

"Not bad!" Zhao Ju smiled: "The same is true of the news that Ben will get. Therefore, Ben General hoped that the assassin would go to Yunxian County, intercept this batch of grain, and then our people would send grain to the Qin army. ”

Huang Ke was stunned and hesitated: "The Zhu Kingdom intends to flank the Qin army in Qishan. ”

"Exactly." Zhao Ju nodded and said: "I originally planned to take advantage of the time to transport grain, suddenly enter the Qin camp to create chaos, and create chaos behind the Qin camp, and then our army pressed on from the front, flanked back and forth, and conquered the Qin camp in one fell swoop, and then the army went straight to Yun County." Just Yun County! ”

Zhao Ju smiled and pointed to Yunguan outside the Chu camp and said, "Yun County, then the Yunguan in front will be broken without attacking." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ju frowned again and said: "However, for the matter of robbing grain, the assassin still needs to borrow the power of Zheng Dang and Lu Feng, they would have given other orders."

I wonder if the history of thorns can be done? ”

Huang Ke pondered for a moment, nodded hesitantly, and said: "Zhuguo, I know that Beiya's strength is not weak in Shangyong, and the matter of robbing grain is not a big problem. It's just that even if our army can kill outside Yun County, there are still 1,000 Qin troops in Yun County, and with Qin troops stationed in Yun County, Yun County may be difficult to conquer in a short time. If the army from Yunguan and other places came to help, the Qin army, which was careful to enter the upper mediocrity, was in danger of overturning. ”

Zhao Ju said undoubtedly: "Don't worry, Huang Thorn Shi will have his own plan, and I only ask Thorn Shi to help me in Yun County." ”

Huang Ke saw that Zhao Ju's face was firm, so he had to nod and said: "Okay, please rest assured that Zhuguo will go to Yunxian County from the next path, and it will definitely not delay the major events of Zhuguo." ”

"Okay, I'm tired."

After Huang Ke left, Zhao Ju said to Huan Zang: "Let Zheng Dang and Lu Feng come to see the general." ”

Not long after, Zheng Dang Lu Feng walked into the tent together.

"Xiangchengjun Sima Zhengdang (Changli County Wei Lu Feng) visited Zhuguo."

"No courtesy." Zhao Ju held his right hand weakly, looked at the two and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the two of them for three days in a row, and I don't know if the two generals have complaints in their hearts." ”

"This..." The two glanced at each other, bowed their heads and responded, "Don't dare!" ”

"Don't dare, that's it!" Zhao Ju smiled, and then without waiting for the two to answer, he spoke: "The two generals have complaints in their hearts, this is as it should be, and it should be understood. However, the reason why Ben General did not see the two for three consecutive days was because Ben General had a big matter that the two generals needed to do.

It's just that Ben still had doubts about the two generals before, so he snubbed the two for three days. Now, three days have passed, and the two generals have not left angrily because of the general's neglect, which shows that the two generals are still committed to the Chu State, so that the general can entrust the big things to the two generals. ”
