"Report! On the other side of the river, in the southwest direction, it is suspected that Qi general Kuang Zhang led the allied forces of Qi, Wei and Han to rush to help! ”

Soon, a herald reported the incident on the other side of the river to Zhao's father.

However, a moment ago, Master Zhao had already noticed the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

Like Zhao General Xu Jun, as soon as he saw the banners of Qi, Wei and Han, Zhao's father immediately thought of the Qi general Kuang Zhang, after all, in the past two years, Kuang Zhang was the commander of the Qi, Wei and Han coalition forces, and stormed the Hangu Pass of Qin, so that many people thought of Kuang Zhang at the first moment when they mentioned the "Qi, Wei and Han coalition forces".

"How so?"

Meng Zhong noticed that even Master Zhao, who had always been steady, also showed a little horror on his face at this time.

It is no wonder, after all, Kuang Zhang's prestige is too loud, this person defeated the Qin army twice, occupied the entire territory of Yan in 50 days, and even the Chu State's Ling Yin (State Minister) "Tang Yu" in the Battle of Chu, causing civil strife in Chu, so that Chu was attacked by its domestic rebel army "Yingdu". [PS: At this time, the state of Chu was on the side of Jiangling, not Shouying (Shouchun). 】

As for Zhao State, Zhao State did not have much dealings with Kuang Zhang, and it was Tian Wei of Qi State who dealt with Zhao State, that is, the first time Gongsun Yan tried to join forces and persuade Qi State to unite with Wei State to attack Zhao State, that is, the Qi general Tian Qi served as the commander.

In that battle, the majestic and majestic Zhao Suhou was also defeated and retreated by Qi Wei, and finally could only dig the embankment of the big river and release water to flood a large area of land in the east of Zhao State, which forced the Qi and Wei coalition forces to withdraw their troops and stop the battle.

And Kuang Zhang, known as the famous general who shouldered the name of the general after Tian Qi, even Zhao's father, did not dare to take it lightly.

"Master Zhao?"

Meng Zhong reminded in a low voice: "General Xu Jun on the other side of the river is being attacked from both sides. ”

“……”

Master Zhao glanced at Meng Zhong when he heard this, and immediately set his eyes on the other side of the river.

Sure enough, as Meng Zhong said, due to the timely arrival of the Three Kingdoms Alliance led by Kuang Zhang, not only did the morale of the Qi army under the command of Qi general Tian Touch greatly boost, and reflexively launched a fierce attack on the Zhao army, but also caused the Zhao army led by the Zhao general Xu Jun to be in chaos.

If Zhao Jun's side doesn't respond in time, Xu Jun's side will definitely be defeated.

Master Zhao turned his head to look at the bridge of the river again, and saw that the bridge had almost been built to the opposite bank at this time, and there was only about ten zhang of distance left from the other side of the river.

To be honest, at this distance, the Zhao army can already order a general attack of the whole army and force the attack to the other side of the river, after all, the distance is less than ten zhang, and the soldiers are quite easy even if they swim to the opposite bank.

But......

The other party is Kuang Zhang, and the army under his command is the army that has just defeated the Qin State, and its morale is rising to an incredible level.

When Zhao's father hesitated, Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang led Tian Buyu, Zhao Xi, Niu Jian and others to come, obviously they had also received the news that "Qi General Kuang Zhang led reinforcements to arrive".

Zhao Xi said to Zhao's father: "Masterfather, Kuang Zhang defeated Qin at Hangu Pass last year, and his troops are in full swing, and he led the armies of Wei and Han to come to the rescue together. ”

"What is this guy talking about?"

Listening to the words of Zhao General Zhao Xi, Meng Zhong felt very incredible, after all, according to his visual observation, the "Kuangzhang Coalition Army" on the other side of the river was only more than 10,000 people at best, and the strength of this person and Qi General Tian Touch's strength was only 30,000 or 40,000 people, while the Zhao army had more than 100,000 on this side.

Isn't this a delay in the warplane?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak: "Master Zhao, even if Kuang Zhang led the army to help in time, I see that the troops under his command are only more than 10,000 people, and my Zhao army has more than 100,000, why be afraid?" ”

Hearing Meng Zhong's words, Zhao Xi immediately frowned and scolded: "Meng Zhong, you are so young, how dare you talk nonsense at this time?!" Do you know who Kuang Zhang is? ”

Meng Zhong Zhengse said: "General Zhao Xi, I also know that Kuang Zhang is a famous general in the world, but this person only led more than 10,000 troops to help, and the Qi army is far inferior to my Zhao army, even if Kuang Zhang is resourceful, he can't cover up this matter." …… At present, the river bridge is about to be built to the other side of the river, and if our army orders a general attack and forcibly crosses the river, the Qi army will not be able to resist it at all......"

"Fool!"

Zhao Xi interrupted Meng Zhong's words and scolded: "You see that there are only more than 10,000 reinforcements on the other side of the river, and you conclude that there are only more than 10,000 troops under Kuang Zhang's command?" Let me tell you, Kuang Zhang led the army that attacked the Qin State, there were 100,000 people! This does not include the armies of Wei and Han...... If our army orders to force the crossing of the river, and the remaining troops of Kuangzhang arrive, our Zhao army has no camp or village on the south bank, how can it be parried? When the Qi army launches a counteroffensive, more than 100,000 Zhao troops will all die here! ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong retorted: "Even if Kuang Zhang has the remaining troops to arrive, his long journey, the physical strength of the soldiers will definitely be exhausted, if the two armies fight, our Zhao army will win!" ”

"You...... Foolish fool! ”

Seeing that he couldn't say anything about Meng Zhong, Zhao Xi was furious, and said to Master Zhao's father with anger: "Master father, don't listen to this son's nonsense, this son is young, even if he has read a few military books, where do he know what to use soldiers?" If our Zhao army crosses the river by force, it will definitely fall into a dilemma, so why not retreat temporarily and then think about it. ”

Master Zhao glanced at Meng Zhong, then looked around at everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Tian Buyu was sleek, and when he heard this, he looked at Meng Zhong and said with a smile: "Meng Zhong Adi's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, not afraid of the famous general Kuang Zhang, his courage is commendable, and he is inclined to Meng Zhong's suggestion in the next person." However, the war between the two countries is not trivial, and everything needs to be cautious, so in the same phase, it is more prudent for General Zhao Xi's view...... In the end, under the command of Kuang Zhang, there were 100,000 Qi troops, not to mention the armies of Wei and Han. ”

Hearing this, Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang glanced at the disappointed Meng Zhong apologetically, nodded and echoed Tian Buyu's point of view.

And Zhao Xi and Niu Jian also nodded again and again.

Seeing this, Master Zhao thought for a moment, and finally gave the order to retreat temporarily.

"Dingding-ding-"

"Dingding-ding-"

The sound of the cymbals sounded on the north bank of the river, and when he heard the news that this represented the retreat of the army, Xu Jun, the Zhao general on the other side of the river, immediately ordered a retreat.

Under his leadership, about six or seven thousand Zhao soldiers quickly retreated, and after paying the price of half a soldier, they finally withdrew to the north bank.

At the same time, the allied forces of Qi, Wei, and Han and the Qi army led by the Qi general Tian Touch killed the river bank together, and burned about half of the bridge with rockets, and then slowly retreated.

On the way back to Zhao's camp, Meng Zhong used the excuse of being unwell and asked Meng Hu to drive the military chariot for Zhao's father, while he was in another military vehicle to discuss the matter with Le Yi.

He said to Le Yi in disappointment: "The heir of the King of Wei is newly mourned, and the Prince of Wei succeeds to the throne, how can the Wei State send a large army to assist Kuang Zhang to return to the Qi State at this time?" …… Since Kuang Zhang led the army to evacuate from the border of Qin, Wei, and Han, Korea would definitely strictly guard against Qin's retaliation and attack, so how could it be possible to send heavy troops to assist Kuang Zhang in returning for reinforcements? There is no possibility of any alliance of Qi, Wei, and Han, at most there are only 100,000 Qi troops of Kuang Zhang, and the Zhao army, which is more than 100,000 elites, can't it defeat the 100,000 exhausted Qi army under Kuang Zhang? ”

"Alright."

Le Yi patted Meng Zhong on the shoulder as comfort.

Compared with Zhao Xi's suggestion of "increasing the popularity of others and destroying his own prestige", Le Yi is of course more inclined to Meng Zhong's point of view, as Meng Zhong said, even if the other party is Kuang Zhang? Wasn't Pang Juan of Wei a famous general? Didn't you still be defeated by Qi generals Tian Ji and Sun Bin because they ordered the soldiers to hurry up?

But it's a pity that although Meng Zhong and Le Yi are the guards Sima and Zuo Sima of Lord Zhao's father, this does not mean that their opinions will be taken seriously - especially when Lord Zhao is also hesitant about this.

At the end of the day, it's still a small talk.

After returning to Zhao Ying, Meng Zhong went back to his tent to rest because he was not angry.

Le Yi, on the other hand, was worried that Meng Zhong's willful actions would cause dissatisfaction with Master Zhao's father, so he invited Master Zhao to see Master Zhao on behalf of Meng Zhong and told Master Zhao everything that Meng Zhong said to him on the way.

After hearing this, Master Zhao pondered for a long time.

I have to say that Lord Zhao's father Fang Cai was also frightened by the "Qi, Wei and Han Three Kingdoms Alliance", but after listening to Meng Zhong's views conveyed by Le Yi, he suddenly found that it was indeed unlikely that the armies of Wei and Han would aid Qi at this time.

Obviously, it was Kuang Zhang who borrowed the flags of the armies of Wei and Han, intending to boost his own prestige - this person is indeed very good at using the flag to make chapters, thinking that in the Battle of Sancho, Kuang Zhang had borrowed the things identified by the flag to design and defeat the Qin State.

Thinking of this, Master Zhao said to Le Yi: "I ordered someone to prepare some wine and food, and you can comfort that kid on my behalf." ”

Seeing that Master Zhao did not blame Meng Zhong's "willfulness", Le Yi was overjoyed and responded.

After a while, Le Yi took the wine and food given by Master Zhao's father to find Meng Zhong, and called Wu Ying, Meng Hu, and Meng Sui, and a few friends ate and drank happily in Meng Zhong's tent.

Full of wine and food, Meng Zhongxin's dissatisfaction was relieved a lot, and with Le Yi's persuasion, he returned to Lord Zhao's father as a guard the next day.

In the next two days, Zhao Jun always paid attention to the movements of the Qi army on the other side, especially Zhao Xi, Xu Jun and others, who secretly sent meticulous work to the other side and stared at every move of the Qi camp.

On the third day, when Master Zhao summoned the generals to hold a military discussion and discuss countermeasures, Zhao Xi said to Master Zhao with a serious expression: "Master Father, in the past two days, I have ordered people to keep an eye on the Qi camp on the other side, and found that there are troops arriving every day, either the Qi army, or the Wei army, or the Korean army, according to my estimate, there are no less than 200,000 troops on the other side of the river. ”

After that, Zhao Xi glanced at Meng Zhong, who was standing beside Lord Zhao's father, and said a little smugly: "If I had listened to the words of a certain Huangkou son that day, I am afraid that my 150,000 Zhao army might have perished......

"200,000 troops ......"

Hearing Zhao Xi's words, not to mention Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang, Tian Buyu, Zhao Yuan, Xu Jun, Niu Jian and other generals, even Zhao's father also showed a dignified look.

After all, it was 200,000 troops, and the number of troops had already surpassed that of the Zhao army.

Everyone in the tent was silent, and when they were thinking about countermeasures, a slightly immature voice sounded.

"Let me interject, in my opinion, this may be a bluff by Qi Jun...... I suspect that Kuang Zhang may not have arrived with his army yet! ”

“……”

Hearing this, everyone in the tent raised their heads one after another and looked at Meng Zhong who said this with an incredulous expression.

Including Master Zhao's father.
