"General Zhuang, further on is the Qin army's outpost." A soldier reminded.

Zhuang Ji said anxiously: "What are you afraid of? The most important thing is to get that person back. ”

When Officer Qin woke up and found that someone was chasing, he rolled on the spot and rolled into the river in a hurry.

Zhuang Ji saw a muddy ground, blood and handprints, and knew that someone had just come. He looked up and saw no one, and then he looked ahead, and the footprints were broken from here.

"General, did the soldiers at the outpost carry him away?" A soldier analyzed.

Zhuang Ji looked at the ground and said, "It won't be." There were no footprints on the ground, indicating that he had returned to the water from here. Quickly form a line and keep a close eye on the water.

"Hey, somebody's on the water." A soldier pointed to one place.

When Zhuang Ji saw it, he jumped into the water and swam towards the man like an arrow.

The person in the water was Officer Qin, he saw Zhuang Ji, but he had no intention of running away, but stood in shallow water and said loudly: "General Zhuang, you are a commander of an army of 100,000 people, and you spare no effort to chase me, a nobody of the Qin army, why bother?" It's not worth wasting your time, go back. ”

Zhuang Ji ignored him, and swam there with all his strength.

But when he was about to swim there, the Qin officer plunged headlong into the water and disappeared again.

Zhuang Ji had to stabilize his body and watch the water surface. When he saw a string of blisters rising up not far away, he dived quietly, and without much effort, he surfaced with a human foot like he had caught a big fish.

The flat foot sticking out of the water kept turning like a wooden shaft.

Zhuang Ji lifted it up, and then sank it into the water, repeating it several times back and forth, and with one force, he lifted the bare "big fish" in the water high.

"Look, look, look, the general has caught that big fish." When the soldiers on the shore saw it, they cried out.

Zhuang Ji took the Qin soldiers to board the warship, and after the Qin soldiers were imprisoned, he immediately summoned the generals of the various fleets to the cabin office to discuss the upcoming battle.

"Report—" said a soldier who hurried to the office room, "Report to General Zhuang, and find that the soldiers on both sides of the strait in front are pressing towards this side. ”

Zhuang Ji waved his right hand to the generals attending the meeting and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”

He led everyone to the bow of the ship, looked at the crowds of Qin Jun in front of him and said, "How could their main force press downstream so hard?" If they had 2,000 troops stationed in the city, then there should be less than 1,000 in the city at this time. Zhong Yitong quickly sent someone to inform Xiao Bu, telling him to enter the city quickly and empty out their city. Hey, remember, you must ask Xiao Bu to find Sima Cuo's little "qingren" Xiao Yelian. ”

"Yes." Zhong Yitong replied decisively, turned around and wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he said, "General Zhuang, what should I do here?" There are too many of them. ”

When Ah Cai heard this, she turned her head embarrassedly, but immediately said anxiously: "Yes, they came prepared, and they completely wanted to take us with an overwhelming advantage." How could they be so deployed? ”

Zhuang Ji pointed his hand and said, "Well, that's what I'm thinking at the moment." If the Qin army hadn't discovered that there was something here that was more important than defending the city, would they have mobilized so much? He shouted again, "Come on, send a group of people, hurry to the front line, order Liu Huaibei to drive down with the fleet, we will give these Qin soldiers a flank up and down, I don't believe that they have eyes on the front and back, left and right, and can guard against someone's army in my village." ”

The military leaders of the entire fleet quickly returned to their respective posts, ready to meet the attack of the Qin army.

The 500 land soldiers led by Xiao Bu waited outside Wushan City for many days, and there was already intelligence that showed it, and there were also rumors among the people that the supreme commander of the Qin army's conquest of Chuxi was missing, and the Qin soldiers showed signs of small chaos.

Now, Xiao Bu knows that the emptiness in the city at this moment is a good opportunity to dig out his heart.

The Chu army troops quietly moved to hide under the city wall, and Xiao Bu disguised himself as a mountain man, and personally led a few soldiers with makeup to lurk into the city, searching for the required information to make a clearer judgment.

But when Xiao Bu walked to the city gate and looked up, there was a human head hanging high on the city gate. "Ah, whose head is this? Is it hanging for the public? Xiao Bu's heart immediately gave birth to a bad omen.

He stepped forward to ask the soldier guarding the door, and the soldier said disdainfully, "You don't know this?" A few days ago, our Qin army caught a few Chu army spies, one escaped, and one surrendered, it was this one called Lin Zida, hey, it was really a big forest and there were all kinds of birds, but he would rather die than surrender, General Sima beheaded him and hung his head to show the public, in order to warn the Chu army. ”

A soldier who followed Xiao Bu glared angrily at Qin Bing, and quietly drew his short sword to stab him to death, but Xiao Bu glared back.

After inspecting them, the guards raised their hands and let them enter the city.

Xiao Bu and the others had not walked a few steps, and the soldier guarding the gate shouted to them again: "Hey, hey, stop." Xiao Bu and the others had to stop.

The soldier guarding the gate came up, looked the little Bu up and down carefully, and said, "I think, this big head has been hanging at the city gate for a few days, and you don't even know it. It's from the state of Chu, right? ”

Xiao Bu shook his head and said, "Sir, we live in the countryside every day, how do we know what forest is big and what forest is small." No, I went into the city today to exchange mutton for two hoes......"

As soon as the gatekeeper heard that there was mutton, he quickly stopped him and said, "Where is the mutton?" Why didn't you show it up when you checked it just now? Let me tell you that General Sima has ordered that mutton is not allowed to enter the city to change things, and it must be handed over to the military management to reward the soldiers who are working hard in the front. ”

Xiao Bu nodded and said, "Oh, yes." "Turn around and want to leave.

"Hey, hey, want to slip away?" The soldier guarding the gate stopped in front of Xiao Bu and said, "Do you really not understand, or do you not understand?" Mutton is not allowed to enter the city, your ears are deaf. ”

When the other soldier heard this, he hurriedly took out a piece of fresh mutton from the bamboo basket and handed it to the guard soldier and said, "Yes, yes, this mutton will be placed here for you first." ”

The gatekeeper took the mutton and said, "That's pretty much it." ”

Xiao Bu figured out the details of Wushan City out of the city, and when Zhong Yitong dived across the river, the two passers-by successfully connected to the head.

According to Zhuang Ji's unified deployment, Xiao Bu secretly drove 500 land soldiers to each city gate, forming an encirclement of the whole city of Wushan.

Faced with so many Qin soldiers, Zhuang Ji couldn't find a reason for them to suddenly gather here.

But they still came, and it seemed that the decisive battle between the two sides was undoubtedly about to start here.

The leader of the Qin army lined up on both sides of the river with thousands of soldiers, and surrounded the fleet of the Chu army in a menacing manner.

A leader of the Qin army with a long sword in his hand stood in front of his team and shouted loudly: "Chu army Zhuang Ji, you are surrounded. Above, on the left and right are my strong Qin's army. Whether you and the thousands of Chu troops live or die is in your choice at this moment. ”

Zhuang Ji stood at the bow of the boat with his head held high, pointed at the arrogant leader of the Qin army, and said, "What are you shouting?" If you have the courage to come on my boat, let's drink one-on-one and catch up. The bow of the river talked about the hero, so as not to kill the innocent with the sword. ”

The leader of the Qin army also followed: "You have the guts, come up to me, let's talk about heroes, lest the sword fight will kill and injure innocent lives." ”

When Zhuang Ji heard this, he was furious. He took off his coat and was about to get off the boat and go to the leader of the Qin army.

Zhong Yitong tightly dragged Zhuang Ji's arm and persuaded him: "General Zhuang, you can't be rash, they came prepared, and they fell for him as soon as they went." I saw that the leader was very much like the Qin soldier who escaped from our ship, and at this time, he turned into the commander of the Qin army. It can be seen from this that the Qin officer we are detaining is not small, and he must be a big official. So, you can't go. The risk of the official is greater than that of the official. ”

"Hey, that's right, quickly ask Huaiyue to come out and recognize them, he hasn't been arrested, if it's a big official, he must know." After Ah Cai said this, he regretted it a little, so he stepped forward and persuaded hard: "Brother Zhuang, you know that this is their routine, why do you still want to drill into that routine?" We ignore him, and it is imperative to make comprehensive preparations for the battle. ”

Zhong Yitong said hesitantly: "Tell Huai Yue to recognize the enemy generals?" It's not easy to make. ”

"What's so bad? Only when we have the right people can we decide on the next step. Ah Cai ran to Ding Huaiyue to call him.

In fact, Ding Huai was watching everything outside the earlier he was, and he was about to open the door to come out, and he bumped into Ah Cai. immediately said, "Aunt Cai, you can't ask your godfather to go up." As soon as he thought about it, he would just go and say yes himself.

Ding Huaiyue ran to Zhuang Ji quickly, knelt down in front of Zhuang Ji and cried and said, "Godfather, you can't go to the shore, you can't come back if you go." ”

Zhuang Ji stroked Ding Huaiyue's head, and said in surprise: "When did you come back?" Why did you come to see me at this time? ”

"I ...... I ......" Ding Huaiyue couldn't cry.

Ah Cai hurriedly added: "He has only come back for a short time, and he has been sick all the time, and he is recuperating in the cabin." I saw that you were too busy, so I didn't ask Huai Yue to come out and disturb you. ”

Zhuang Ji kept stroking Ding Huaiyue's body, and said with tears in his eyes: "You stupid boy, it's my fault for letting you go deep into Wushan, you have suffered so much, it's good to come back, okay." After saying that, he threw away Ding Huaiyue, stood up and walked two steps to the side of the boat, and said, "Don't stop me anymore, today, Ji is going to die, beyond life and death, you must go up and have a face-to-face theory with that arrogant guy." ”

Ding Huaiyue was already desperate, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhuang Ji's arm tightly, crying and said, "Godfather, you must not go." This person is vicious, he is Sima Cuo's military advisor, named Deng Jiehou. This time, he personally led so many soldiers to besiege him, and he was not prepared to keep you alive. 166 Reading Network
