After withdrawing the army around Juchao City and rectifying it slightly, the king of Chu led a large army to the east. After walking for nearly 20 miles, I saw the side of the forest in front of me, with smoke and dust rising and flying straight into the sky. This means that a large army is coming from the opposite side.

The king of Chu ordered the advance to stop, the army stopped, and the archers took their bows and waited to shoot and hold down the position.

There was not much time, a large army drove over, and there was a big handsome flag in the middle, with a male character on it, it was Wang Sunxiong who came.

Fan Li looked at it and saw Wang Sunxiong's army, full of swords and guns, serious discipline and clear formations. It is like a high-quality army.

In recent years, Wu Zixu has strictly grasped military training, and Wang Sunxiong naturally does not dare to slack off. An army that has undergone hard training is not the same when it goes to the battlefield.

Fan Li said to the King of Chu: "Your Majesty, this army is very strong in combat, don't fight with him." ”

The king of Chu said: "Yes, we will do it according to the original plan." ”

Wang Sunxiong's army stopped at a distance of more than a hundred paces. Under the banner of the male character, a person rode out slowly, it was Wang Sunxiong. Wang Sunxiong came to the front of the battle and shouted: "Come out and talk from the other side!" ”

The king of Chu patted his horse and came to the front of the battle. Wang Sunxiong clasped his hands into fists and said, "It turned out that King Hui was coming, Your Majesty is not harmed?" ”

King Chu also hugged his fists and laughed. said: "Wu Chu has not been close to King Wu for a long time since the Battle of Poying. The widow is very concerned in his heart. This time, I came to greet King Wu. ”

Wang Sunxiong also laughed and said: "Your Majesty can still remember the Battle of Poying, I don't know if you have forgotten the Battle of Baiju?" ”

The king of Chu said: "Thank you for the reminder of the general, the widow does not dare to forget it for a while." The widow is also worried about Wu Zixu Xiangguo and Bo Yao Dazai. They are all old people. ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "Wu Xiangguo and Bo Yao Dazai are indeed the deceased of His Majesty. Has Your Majesty ever thought about it? Wu Zixu Boyao is a talented person who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, why did he abandon his homeland and ignore it, fight back, and whip the corpse to vent his hatred? ”

The King of Chu looked sarcastic, and said loudly: "Wu Zixu Boyao is talented, but he is just a rebellious disciple. Insignificant. Although they were aggrieved during the chaos of the Chu State, they led foreign enemies to slaughter their fathers and elders. This rebellion is really an insult to the mountains and rivers of Chu State. ”

According to them, although Wu Zixu and Bo Yao were framed and forced to leave, Chu is their motherland after all. In the political and military practice of Wu, the two showed outstanding talents, especially Wu Zixu, who was loyal to King Wu. But they helped Wu attack Chu and break Ying, ravaged the homeland, and humiliated his father and relatives. This is a big stain behind Wu Zixu's glamour. It is deservingly reprehensible. Even when later generations of storytellers interpreted this history, the people who listened to the book also thought that it was a shameful thing for Wu Zixu to borrow Wu Huachu.

The big right and wrong have their own public opinion!

Wang Sunxiong said: "Wu Chu has been fighting for a long time, Your Majesty is not in Yingdu to enjoy peace, why do you still raise troops to attack my Great Wu, I don't know if Wang Sunxiong is still there?" ”

The king of Chu said: "The widow has no intention of Dawu, but the nest Zhongli is the homeland of Chu, and today he just wants to get his land back." General Wang Sun has stationed hundreds of troops, and he has been in trouble for a long time, can he still fight? ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "Whether you can fight or not, you will only know until you fight." Wang Sunxiong advised His Majesty to lead the troops to retreat, and Wu Chu repaired it, which is also a good thing. Think again. ”

The king of Chu said: "The widow is not greedy, he has to live in the second city of Zhongli, and naturally stop the army." ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "I have to ask if the sword in the hand of a certain person agrees to this matter." With that, the horse turned around and slowly returned to its own formation

The king of Chu also returned to the Chinese army, and with a wave of his hand, a black horse rushed out of the formation. It was the general Zhong Jian. The opponent also rushed out of the formation. The two exchanged hands in front of the battle. The drums of war on both sides beat and the soldiers shouted and cheered.

The two sides fought more than a dozen rendezvous, Zhong Jian seemed to be not low, and the reins of the horse shook and he was defeated.

As soon as Wang Sunxiong saw Zhong Jian's defeat, he ordered the flag to wave, and the army was about to cover up. The king of Chu shouted: "The rat is reckless!" The flag waved, and a row of arrows from 10,000 archers of the Chu army shot out. As soon as the Chu army moved, hundreds of generals rushed out and immediately waited for the battle.

Wang Sunxiong ordered to stop the killing. I saw that the Chu army was moving slowly, and it retreated in an orderly manner.

What's it all about?

Wang Sunxiong watched the Chu army retreat, but he didn't dare to order the pursuit, the Chu army was not defeated, why did he retreat? Or wait and see, lest you fall for the trick.

Seeing that, the 50,000 troops of the Chu State disappeared from view. Only in the distance was a faint cloud of smoke and dust.

Wang Sunxiong ordered to set up camp. The Wu army traveled from afar, worked very hard, and also needed to rest and rectify.

That night, the lights in the Wu camp were extinguished, and the soldiers were asleep. Suddenly, the sound of war drums was heard on all sides of the camp, and millions were shouting, and immediately after, countless rockets flew into the sky, and then landed in the Wu camp, landed on the tent, and the tent burned. Fall on the grain and grass, and the grain and grass burn.

The soldiers were startled in their sleep and ran out of their tents, and the rockets fell on them, some of them burned, some of them burned to death.

Wang Sunxiong hurriedly gave an order, straightened out the men, rushed out of the camp, and prepared to fight to the death with the Chu army.

But when the Wu army rushed out, they saw that the night covered the earth, and there was silence on all sides, and the Chu army had already quietly retreated.

The night was confused, and he didn't know where the Chu army was retreating, so he couldn't catch up.

What is this thing called?

Wang Sunxiong had no choice but to return to the barracks and command the firefighting. In this period of harassment, the Wu army killed and injured hundreds of people and destroyed a large amount of supplies.

After dawn, Wang Sunxiong reorganized his troops and horses, preparing for a decisive battle with the Chu army. But until the evening, the whereabouts of the Chu army were not heard.

Another day passed, and suddenly the Malay report was that the Chu army was besieging another border city, Caiying.

Wang Sunxiong said: "How far is Caiying from here? ”

Xiao Jun said: "Caiying is one hundred and fifty miles away from us. ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "Order, all the troops march in a hurry and rush to attack the Cai camp!" ”

The army quickly marched and headed straight for Cai's camp.

An army of 50,000 marched, with cavalry, chariots, foot soldiers and baggage, and could not travel a hundred miles in a day. Two days later, Wang Sunxiong led a large army to Caiying, and found that it was very quiet and there was no fighting.

That's weird! What about people? Wang Sunxiong rode on the horse and was stunned. The general of the Cai Ying defenders came out of the city to meet and said that a few days ago, the army of Chu suddenly surrounded Cai Ying. Shouting and attacking for a long time. It doesn't stop until it's dark. The next day, when I went to the city tower, I saw that the Chu army had withdrawn to an unknown place.

Wang Sunxiong is a little confused, what is Chu Jun playing?

I had to order to camp on the spot, and then send scouts to go out to inquire.

Two days later, an urgent report suddenly came: "The army of Chu is attacking Juchao." ”。

This can blow up Wang Sunxiong's anger. This time, he no longer went to the rescue according to the usual method, but organized 10,000 light cavalry, each with three days of dry food on horseback, and galloped to the nest quickly, making sure to drag the Chu army. It was not allowed to be unhooked, and the other foot soldiers and grain and grass were loaded, and then arrived. Then the decisive battle begins.

However, when the light cavalry rushed to the nest, the nest had already been breached, and most of the 5,000 defenders were annihilated. After some looting, the Chu army had withdrawn.
