.............

Time passes unconsciously.

In the blink of an eye.

Soon it was early May.

The reinforcements sent by the Northern Qi State have arrived at the border of the Chu State.

Coming to Yingdu.

Wei Wuji was also preparing to march towards Zhao in a month's time.

Night.

Emperor Chu called Wei Wuji, Wang Dafu, and Chu Ji to the imperial study.

After that, he ordered the Imperial Guards to retreat far away.

No one is allowed to come.

Emperor Chu personally unfolded the map and pointed to Zhao State: "Until now, Zhao State has not been defenseless.

The nations also thought that we would attack the Southern Jin Kingdom.

If you send troops now, what are your chances of winning? ”

"Father..."

Wei Wuji stopped talking and glanced at Chu Ji.

To be honest, he really doesn't feel at ease, this His Royal Highness the Prince.

In case of......

Wouldn't it be all over if the plan for the march was informed to Zhao Guo?

"It's okay, just say it! It's time for the prince to participate in such a meeting, so let him listen more. "Chu Huang Dao.

"Yes."

Wei Wuji still had doubts.

At this time, Chu Ji exclaimed: "Father, are we not going to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty, but to attack the Zhao Kingdom?" ”

"It seems that we have done a good job of secrecy..." Emperor Chu was very satisfied with Chu Ji's reaction.

Even the crown prince in the palace of Chu could not know about this plan.

Presumably, Zhao Guo is even more unlikely to know.

This time, he will definitely be able to catch Zhao Guo off guard.

Chu Ji seemed thoughtful.

Wei Wuji said: "Zhao Guo and Beiqing Guo have always been in the same spirit.

Once our army arrives at the border of Zhao, it will inevitably attract reinforcements from the Beiqing army.

Therefore, the key to this battle lies in two points.

The first is to send an elite army to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, by surprise, so that the senior generals of Zhao State cannot command the armies in various places.

The second is to send fast cavalry to garrison the eastern part of Zhao State to block the reinforcements of Beiqing State.

To accomplish these two things, we need 30,000 horsemen, chariots, and 20,000 brave men. ”

"Hmm."

Emperor Chu felt that what Wei Wuji said was very right.

The key to this battle is the raid.

If it succeeds, it won't be long before the state of Zhao will perish.

On the contrary, there is only a protracted war.

This is the last thing he wants to see.

"Your Majesty, Da Sima, I'm afraid things aren't so simple, right?"

The general Wang Dafu had different opinions, and immediately said: "The Northern Expedition Army was formed by the captives of Zhao and Beiqing, so let them attack their own country, can they not resist in their hearts?"

On the battlefield, will they be able to do it? ”

"yes, that's what I'm worried about."

Emperor Chu nodded, and said, "Wuji, do you think... How can it be avoided that the Northern Army is afraid of war? ”

"Erchen thinks... If our raid on Handan goes well, there is almost no need to conquer the northern army.

This battle will decide the outcome of the battle, only 20,000 infantry elites!

Let them reach the city of Handan as quickly as possible, and then storm the city of Handan!

After breaking the city, we attacked the north and south with the large army behind us, and gradually pacified other towns in Zhao State.

The meaning of the son...

From the elite of our Chu State, select 20,000 foot soldiers, and then let the Black Armor Army, Wudang Fei Army, etc., go to block the reinforcements of Beiqing State. ”

Wei Wuji said.

"I see..."

Emperor Chu couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

Wei Wuji's plan, although it seems risky, has a great chance of success.

Maybe this time, Zhao Guozhen will be wiped out.

........

........

Where can Wang Dafu argue with Wei Wuji?

After listening to Wei Wuji's plan, he was no longer worried.

Instead, raise your hands in favor!

Even, Wang Dafu also said that he must take the remaining troops of Chu State and do a good job of garrisoning during the war.

From beginning to end, Chu Ji was absent-minded.

He seems to have something on his mind.

Wei Wuji saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more worried.

'Could it be that this prince of Chu would really reveal military intelligence to Zhao in order to oppose him? ’

Wei Wuji didn't want to believe it.

But after careful observation, I dare not guarantee it.

The meeting ended quickly.

Wei Wuji stayed and said worriedly: "Father, the son has a request, and I hope that my father will agree." ”

"Say it."

Emperor Chu sat down and drank tea.

Wei Wuji said: "Before our army arrives in Handan, can we ground the prince and prevent him from leaving the East Palace?"

Not to mention any news from the East Palace. ”

"Ahem..."

Emperor Chu was almost choked, his eyes widened and he said, "What did you say?" Are you suspicious of the Prince? ”

"Erchen is indeed suspicious of the prince.

The Father should know,

When the crown prince traveled abroad, he spent most of his time in the state of Zhao.

He didn't return to China until Zhao was defeated by us..."

Before Wei Wuji's words were finished, he was stopped by Emperor Chu: "Wuji, you should know that Ji'er is the crown prince, and sooner or later he will be the emperor of Chu."

Now, we are attacking the Zhao Kingdom, and we hope to seize the vast land of the Zhao Kingdom.

How could he have made ...... What about such things that are detrimental to the state of Chu?

Isn't that a paradox? ”

"Father..."

"Well, I don't believe he would do such a thing.

During this time, he performed well, and he did not cause trouble in the Northern Army.

General Cheng also praised him!

How could I have grounded him for no reason?

Again...

If he knew that we did not trust him, would he not be chilled to ground? ”

Emperor Chu was very thoughtful and very tough in his opposition.

Wei Wuji did not give up, and wanted to persuade again.

Emperor Chu said: "Kneel down, I'm tired..." ”

"Yes. The retainers retired. ”

Wei Wuji had no choice but to withdraw from the imperial study.

After going back, he immediately selected a hundred skilled soldiers from the army, and asked Li Bai to lead them and secretly surround the East Palace.

Anyone who comes out of the East Palace must be followed and monitored.

If there is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, arrest and control immediately.

It's also for the sake of the bigger picture.

For the sake of the 50,000 elites of the Chu State, not to ambush in the Zhao State, it has to be so.

Chu Ji didn't know about this.

From the moment he returned to the East Palace, he never came out again.

The people in the East Palace will not come out casually.

Every day, the palace sent some food from the imperial dining room, and then took the box away.

Li Bai sent someone to follow the people in the imperial dining room, checked all the food boxes, and found nothing.

For more than ten days, it was like this.

Until the beginning of June.

The army of the Northern Qi State arrived in Yingdu.

The general who commanded the army was Gao Hong, the prince of the Northern Qi Kingdom.

He is Gao Yan's younger brother, and he has a strong relationship with Gao Yan, and often helps Gao Yan.

Therefore, he is very much used.

Wei Wuji met with him.

It was found that Gao Hong was very young, not yet nineteen years old.

It was found that Gao Hong was very young, not yet nineteen years old.

Childish, reckless.

Is such a person really suitable for leading soldiers?

Wei Wuji was really convinced, and I don't know what Gao Yan thought, how much help could be done to let a nineteen-year-old doll lead the troops.
