"Da Sima, we can't sit still anymore!"

"Yes, Da Sima, the non-commissioned officers in the army have already shown signs of mutiny, and they must take countermeasures immediately......

"Da Sima ......"

"Da Sima ......"

In the tent of the Han army, the generals of the Korean army at the Sima level of the various armies surrounded the commander Storm Kite and persuaded the Storm Kite to take action immediately, whether it was to take the opportunity to attack the main camp of the Qin army or Xincheng that was empty, or to attack the Qin army north of Yique Mountain that attacked the main camp of the Wei army last night, in short, they could not sit still, because the state of the Han soldiers was very grim at this moment, and they could mutiniate and collapse at any time.

"Enough!"

After opening his mouth to stop his subordinates, the storm kite raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said tiredly: "Let me ...... Stand still, let's step back first. ”

“…… Here. ”

The generals of the Han army looked at each other, and after a few hesitations, they finally withdrew from the tent one after another, leaving only the violent kite sitting alone in the tent, holding his forehead and sighing.

"Gongsun Xi, Gongsun Xi, Lao Tzu was really miserable by you this time......

The storm kite cursed to himself.

Gongsun Xi was selfish, he knew very well from the beginning that the Wei army had 180,000 people, and there were as many as 1120,000 Wei Wushu, but he wanted his 100,000 Han troops as the vanguard of the attack on the Qin army - these 100,000 people were the last elite of his Korea.

But it doesn't matter, as long as this battle can defeat the Qin army, even if he knows that he has been taken advantage of by Gongsun Xi, the violent kite is willing to endure it.

But Gongsun Xiqian shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have been easily attacked by the Qin army!

Although Storm Kite still hasn't completely figured out how the main force of the Qin army suddenly went around the rear of the Wei army, this does not prevent him from expressing his disdain to Gongsun Xi - your Wei army is obviously in the rear of our army, but you will still be copied by the Qin army? What the hell are you 180,000 doing? Is he an ornament?!

Late last night, when he received the news of Wei Jun's request for help, the violent kite scolded Gongsun in his heart.

But scolding and scolding, reinforcements still have to be sent, just like Gongsun Xi confidently asserted, Storm Kite really will not sit idly by and watch the Wei army be defeated by the Qin army, whether it is for the relationship between Wei and Han, or for the sake of winning this war.

So, late last night, Storm Kite sent 50,000 troops and ordered Han Zu, Zhou Kui and other generals to rescue the Wei army.

However, this morning, Han Zu, Zhou Kui and other generals fled back to the camp with the defeated soldiers, and told the storm kite a bad news: they were defeated!

Are you kidding?!

The 180,000 Wei army, plus his 50,000 Han troops, a total of 230,000 troops, were defeated by the Qin army overnight? You must know that the total strength of the Qin army is less than 150,000!

After careful questioning, he learned that when Han Zu, Zhou Kui and others led reinforcements to the main camp of the Wei army, the main camp of the Wei army had already been lost, and the 180,000 Wei army had been broken through four camps by the Qin army at that time, and the situation was precarious, and thousands of Wei troops scattered and fled, so that in the end, there may be only 40,000 or 50,000 people who counterattacked the Qin army with the Han army.

The Wei army is 40,000 or 50,000, plus 50,000 Han troops, a total of 100,000 troops, and if you think about it carefully, there is actually a few chances of winning, but ...... Defeated!

The first joint battle of the Wei and Han coalition forces was thus defeated by the Qin army.

Upon learning of this, the kite vomited blood in anger.

You must know that before the Wei army arrived at this battlefield, his Korean army and the Qin army had already started a war, although the Qin army's strength was more than his Korean army, but considering that the Korean army had the advantage of a strong crossbow, in fact, the advantages and disadvantages of the Qin and Korean armies were not obvious, I thought that after the arrival of the 180,000 Wei army, the Qin army could be crushed in one go, but I didn't expect that the Wei army would be so bizarrely defeated.

Are you really here to rescue my Korea? Are you sure you're not here to make trouble?

Storm Kite actually wanted to question Gongsun Xi like this, because he was indeed pitted too badly by Gongsun Xi this time.

Originally, the disadvantage was not obvious, but last night in order to rescue the Wei army, at least more than 20,000 casualties, the key is that the Qin army has not been defeated, so that when the defeated army retreated to the barracks, the morale of his army plummeted, so that at this moment there are many soldiers in the camp are going crazy: the 180,000 Wei army has been completely defeated by the Qin army, and it will be our turn next.

100,000, no, the remaining 80,000 Han soldiers under his command were completely in a panic, unless he could come up with a way to break the Qin army in a short time, otherwise, his 80,000 Han army would not have to wait for the Qin army to be killed, or it would collapse and rout on its own.

And all of this is thanks to Gongsun Xi!

That selfish, arrogant, stubborn, stupid bastard!

scolded Gongsun Xi angrily in his heart, and the mood of the violent kite gradually calmed down, and he calmly thought about countermeasures.

According to Han Zu, Zhou Kui and others, the Wei army is basically finished, although there may be sixty or seventy thousand troops who have fled to Yique Mountain, but as far as the violent kite is concerned, it is only a matter of time before these Wei troops are defeated and wiped out by the Qin army.

Then the question arises: what should he do with the South Korean army?

whether to continue to aid the Wei army, finish with the Wei army, and be wiped out by the Qin army; Or simply fight, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qin army is still on the north side of Yique Mountain, suddenly send troops to attack the main camp of the Qin army, and then take advantage of the situation to seize Xincheng and Yiyang?

After much deliberation, the kite still couldn't make a choice.

"I don't know if that bastard is dead, if he is not dead, why hasn't he sent someone to ventilate until now?"

Scratching at her hair, Storm Kite thought to chagrin.

And at this moment, a soldier suddenly entered the tent and reported: "Da Sima, the Gongsun of the Wei army has come to ask for a meeting." ”

"Gongsun Zhu?"

Storm Kite was stunned.

Of course, he knew that Gongsun Zhu, Gongsun Xi's most trusted general, but then again, Gongsun Ji was in charge of the rear camp of the Wei army, and Gongsun Xi would not send this person to negotiate with his Han army in the past, basically Dou Xing, Wei Qing and other military commanders in charge of the war, so when he learned that the person who came was Gongsun Zhu, the violent kite couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

However, when he reacted, he immediately ordered the soldiers to invite him in: "Hurry up, please!" ”

A moment later, the violent kite, who was standing near the tent, saw Gongsun leading several guards towards this side from a distance.

He immediately greeted him: "General Gongsun." ”

"Tyrannical handsome."

Storm Kite glanced at the soldiers who stopped to watch not far away, raised his hand and asked, "General Gongsun, let's enter the account and talk about it in detail." ”

"Good!"

At the invitation of the kite, Gongsun Ji took Meng Zhong into the tent of the kite, and the rest of the guards stayed outside the tent and waited.

As soon as he entered the tent, the storm kite impatiently asked Gongsun Zhudao: "Gongsun Junjun, did you come from Xiwu?" I wonder what is the situation of your army now? Is there still any strength left to fight against the Qin army? What happened to the Qin army? ”

Faced with the series of questions from the storm kite, Gongsun Ji hesitated for a moment, and then said heavily: "Tyrant Shuai, there is bad news I want to say ahead, Xi Wu...... Xi Wu he died. ”

“……”

Hearing this, the violent kite opened its mouth in horror, as if it had received some major blow, and its face suddenly darkened, and it muttered, "It's over, it's all over......"

Seeing the appearance of the violent kite, Gongsun Zhu hurriedly said: "Don't rush to conclusions for the time being, although Xi Wu unfortunately died, my Wei army has withstood the pressure of the Qin army and reunited. Don't hide it from the tyrant, our army launched an offensive against the Qin army this morning, and won a small victory......"

“……”

The violent kite looked at Gongsun Zhu with a strange expression, and his eyes seemed to be expressing: Are you kidding me?

Last night, more than 200,000 Wei and Han coalition troops were defeated and retreated by the Qin army, and this morning you led a group of defeated troops, but defeated the Qin army?

Are you kidding?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Storm Kite felt that Gongsun Zhu really didn't have the point of deceiving him, unless Gongsun Ji had surrendered to the Qin army and came for the Qin army to calculate his Storm Kite.

But in all fairness, this is extremely unlikely.

Seeing the strange expression of the tyrant kite, Gongsun Jian also guessed that the former was most suspicious of this, so he said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's listen to the details." As he spoke, he motioned to Meng Zhong behind him and said, "Meng Zhong, tell the tyrant about the battle this morning." ”

"Whoa!"

Meng Zhong hugged his fists, and told the storm kite about the confrontation between their Wei army and the Qin army this morning, including how Gongsun Xi was killed by the Qin army.

After a long time, the storm kite came back to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is really ...... It's really ...... Great luck in misfortune! ”

Also, the violent kite originally thought that the Wei army was completely finished, and it was only a matter of time before the Qin army was completely wiped out, but he didn't expect that the Wei army, which fled into Yique Mountain, actually seized the weak period of the Qin army and skillfully regained morale with a thrilling small victory.

What does this mean?

It means that although the Wei army suffered a defeat and lost half of its troops, it still has 60,000 or 70,000 people, and even, counting the Wei soldiers who have not fled far, the Wei army may be able to put together an army of close to 100,000 people, and the morale is also guaranteed by a small victory over the Qin army - in a word, that is, the Wei army still has combat effectiveness!

"Taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army had been fighting for a night last night, his energy was exhausted, and he suddenly attacked him this morning...... This is really a clever strategy! The tyrannical kite praised and asked Gongsun Zhudao: "Isn't it the clever strategy of the Gongsun general?" ”

"I don't know anything about war, so how can I come up with such a strategy?" Gongsun shook his head, and immediately patted Meng Zhong's shoulder with his hand, and solemnly introduced to the violent kite: "It's this son's plan!" …… Although this son is young and his military position is only a division commander, considering that he has excellent talents and saved my sixty or seventy thousand Wei troops, I am ready to appoint this son to command my remaining Wei army instead of Xi Wu and continue to fight against the Qin army, as long as there is no objection from the tyrant marshal's side. ”

The last sentence is purely polite, how can the violent kite be qualified to point fingers at the internal decisions of the Wei army?

Storm Kite looked Meng Zhong up and down in surprise, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "Master Meng, as far as the old man knows, last night a Wei pawn came to our military camp to ask for food and grass, could it be a soldier under the command of Master Meng?" ”

Meng Zhong could vaguely guess what the storm kite was thinking of, and he didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Yes, I want the temporarily defeated soldiers to have food to satisfy their hunger and rest their strength, so that they can counter the Qin army in the early morning." ”

"At that time...... Gongsun Xi is still sticking to his main camp, right? This kid actually thought of a strategy to counter the Qin army at that time...... Tsk.'"

Looking Meng Zhong up and down with amazing eyes, the violent kite praised from the bottom of his heart: "A young man like you who is as far-sighted as you has rarely seen it. …… The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible. ”

Probably because he had learned that the Wei army still had a certain amount of combat effectiveness, the anxiety in Storm Kite's heart was slightly relieved.

He beckoned Gongsun Zhu and Meng Zhong to sit in the tent, and immediately asked Meng Zhong, "Where is Meng Shishuai from?" ”

Of course, Meng Zhong understood that Storm Kite wanted to touch his details, and he didn't hide it, so he introduced himself in detail, and also omitted Storm Kite to continue to ask.

"Under is the Song State Mengyi people, initially under the teacher of Master Zhuang, learn Taoist thought, and later by Master Zhuang as a famous disciple, worship under the door of Huizi, last year Meng Fuzi saw that there is some talent, also accepted in the next as a disciple......"

"Disciples of the three schools of Dao, Ming, and Confucianism? And he is also a disciple of the three sages of Zhuangzi, Huizi, and Mencius?'

The violent kite was stunned, he never imagined that the young man's mentorship in front of him would be so terrifying.

“…… A few years ago, I had the honor to go to Zhao State, served as a guard Sima next to Zhao's father, and after the sand dune incident, I returned to Song State, and under the command of His Royal Highness Dai Wu, the prince of Song State, I resisted the invasion of Qi together with Dai Busheng and Dai Yingzhi. …… Later, due to the alliance between the Song State and the Wei State, he came to the Wei State in the next place, and heard that the Qin State sent troops to attack Korea, so he begged the King of Wei and Xiwu to go with the army to ......"

This is a simple self-introduction, but the violent kite is extremely shocked when he hears it, and the reason for this is that Meng Zhong's "qualifications" are perfect!

The disciples of the three families of Taoism, Ming, and Confucianism, studied under Zhuangzi, Huizi, and Mencius, participated in the Song Teng War, served as the guard Sima of the Wuling King of Zhao State, participated in the Dune Palace Change, and participated in the Qi and Song Wars after returning to the Song Kingdom.

"Wonderful!"

After pondering for a moment, the violent kite stroked his palms and praised Meng Zhong's wonderful experience, and said with a smile: "The general of the Gongsun Army has said that the Wei army will be commanded by Master Meng ...... command, to be honest, the old man is still a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't expect that although Master Meng is young, he is actually experienced in a hundred battles."

"It's not about being in a lot of battles, it's just a little bit of an opinion."

"Hey, it's too humble for Meng Shishuai to say this, at least this clever move of Meng Shishuai to counter the Qin army this morning to save the morale of the Wei army is really exquisite!" Speaking of this, the storm kite paused, and quietly tentatively said: "Then judging from the commander of the Meng, how should the Wei and Han armies resist the Qin army next?" ”

"It's natural to abandon your heart and work together."

"......" Hearing these two words, the storm kite was really a little surprised.

He immediately thought of Gongsun Xi, in his opinion, Gongsun Xi was too selfish, so he was taken advantage of by the Qin army.

Now that Gongsun Xi has died, the Wei army has put a young man named Meng Zhong in charge of the army, although this young man's teacher and qualifications are quite perfect, and his intelligence should not be underestimated, but the storm kite is still a little worried.

After all, if the Wei and Han armies cannot abandon their hearts and truly unite, the so-called Wei and Han coalition forces are just a joke that makes people laugh.

Unexpectedly, the young man's first words were to express his goodwill to work together.

"I want to hear about it." Storm Kite said solemnly.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his plan: "I want your army's camp, as well as all the grain and grass in the barracks, in exchange, my Wei army will drag the main force of the Qin army in the north of Yique Mountain for your army, so that your army has enough time to attack Xincheng." ”

To be honest, when he heard the first half of Meng Zhong's words, Storm Kite wanted to get angry in his heart: Feelings, your so-called cooperation, is it for our army's food and grass?

But the second half of Meng Zhong's words made Storm Kite feel a little interesting.

"What does Master Meng mean by letting the old man give this military camp to your army?" Storm Kite thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes." Meng Zhong nodded, and explained in detail: "In last night's battle, our army suffered heavy losses, although this morning's lucky victory over the Qin army saved some morale, but the problem of food and grass for my eighty or ninety thousand Wei troops has become the most serious problem at present, if our army can get all the grain and grass of your army, we can continue to fight against the Qin army......"

"And what about our soldiers?" Storm Kite asked, frowning.

Meng Zhong's answer was very direct: "Go and take the grain and grass of the Qin army." …… For example, the main camp of the Qin army, such as Xincheng and Yiyang, I believe that the Qin army must have stored grain and grass in this place, if the tyrant can take Xincheng and Yiyang as soon as possible, naturally there is no need to worry about grain and grass. ”

The tyrannical kite said with a smile: "You kid is very cunning, obviously your Wei army has lost all the grain and grass, but you want to pass on this loss to my Han army, and tell my sergeants to ...... desperately."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zhu's eyes were also a little smiling.

As Storm Kite said, when he heard Meng Zhong propose this idea on the way, his first reaction was actually like this: "This kid is too cunning!"

"What are the Wei and Han coalition forces divided into each other?"

Meng Zhong said with a smile: "What's more, our Wei army is not asking for your army's grain and grass in vain, our army will hold back the main force of the Qin army for your army, so that the tyrant has enough time to capture Xincheng and Yiyang, if the tyrant marshal can take the opportunity to seize the two cities this time, think about it carefully, in fact, the tyrant will take advantage." ”

"Hahaha."

The violent kite laughed, and then pointed at Meng Zhong and said to Gongsun: "I don't evaluate whether this son is qualified to replace Xiwu, but in terms of wit and cunning, this Meng Shishuai is definitely above Xiwu!" ”

Gongsun Zhu smiled slightly, he knew that the "witty and cunning" sentence of the violent kite was not malicious, but goodwill, after all, Meng Zhong's suggestion was actually a win-win situation for the Wei and Han armies: the Wei army got the grain and grass of the Han army, and the Han army got the opportunity to recover the new city and Yiyang City, and no one took advantage of anyone.

At this point, Meng Zhong is indeed smarter than Gongsun Xi, or simply said that he is interesting and unpleasant, unlike Gongsun Xi, even if the Wei army came to aid South Korea this time, Gongsun Xi still had to take the opportunity to weaken the Korean army, and refused to let South Korea take advantage of the slightest, which led to being caught by the Qin army.

Otherwise, the 300,000 coalition troops will attack together, without giving the Qin army a chance to breathe, even if the commander of the Qin army is in vain, under such a huge disparity in strength, he can only retreat to Xincheng and Yiyang, how can there be a chance to easily break the more than 200,000 coalition troops in one night?

"Okay, the old man agreed to this matter!"

After teasing Meng Zhong a few words, Storm Kite decisively agreed to this matter.

After all, it's a win-win proposition.

Subsequently, Gongsun Zhu, Storm Kite, and Meng Zhong discussed and discussed the current battle situation, and chatted for an hour, and then Gongsun Zhu and Meng Zhong said goodbye and left.

After waiting for Gongsun Zhu and Meng Zhong to leave, Storm Kite breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that Meng Zhong pinched the Qin army's weakness and suddenly countered this move, not only saved the sixty or seventy thousand Wei troops in the area of Yique Mountain, saved the Wei army stationed in Yushui by Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge, but also saved the 80,000 Han troops still remaining under the command of the violent kite, otherwise if the Wei army really died in a battle, the Han army was bound to collapse and mutiny, and when the Qin army casually launched a wave of offensive, the Han army would be defeated immediately.

At present, the Wei army still has the strength to hold back the main force of the Qin army, and when they learn of this, the soldiers of the Han army can also be a little more relieved, so that they will not immediately mutini and flee in despair.

This battle can still be fought!

Immediately, Storm Kite summoned the military commanders under his command and told the generals the results of the discussion between him and Gongsun Zhu and Meng Zhong.

"With last night's fiasco, the Wei army can still counter the Qin army?"

I have to say that all the generals of the Korean army who learned of the defeat of the Wei army last night felt very incredible about this.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed a good thing: when the Wei army is willing to do its best to hold back the Qin army, his Han army has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to capture the two cities of Xincheng and Yiyang.

And these two cities are very important for South Korea!

If repelling the Qin army in this war is considered a victory, then recapturing Xincheng and Yiyang is a victory! It's a big win!

The king of Han will grant them the title and land for this purpose.

I saw that in front of the generals, the violent kite solemnly ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army will prepare three days' rations, and when the Wei army sends troops to take over this camp tonight, all the soldiers of our army will immediately go straight to the main camp of the Qin army, first capture the camp, and then take the new city!" ”

As the last word fell, the violent kite clenched his fist heavily to show that he was bound to win the main camp of the Qin army and the new city.

"Whoa!"

The generals of the Korean army responded with their fists clenched.

After a while, after this order was given, the tension and uneasiness of the Han soldiers in the camp were relieved, and the soldiers who were panicked by the rout of the Wei army, and even almost caused a mutiny, gradually calmed down.

After all, as far as he knew, Meng Zhong did not intend to withdraw all the Wei troops to the camp of his Han army, and most of them still had to stay in the north of Yique Mountain to hold off the main force of the Qin army for the Han army.

In the evening, Gongsun Zhu and Meng Zhong returned to Yique Mountain.

On the way back to the mountain camp, they went around the bank of the Yishui River on the eastern side of Yique Mountain.

In that area, there are many Wei soldiers who will build dams on the Yishui River in accordance with Meng Zhong's instructions, on the one hand, to deter the Qin army and eliminate the possibility of the Qin army retreating east to Xiangshan, and on the other hand, to store water for fishing, after all, the Han army camp is not a lot of grain and grass, and if you can save a little, you can save a little, so you have to feed the Wei army of more than 80,000.

After inspecting the construction of the dam by the Wei soldiers, Gongsun Zhu and Meng Zhong came to the Wei army's defense line in the north of Yique Mountain, summoned Sima Wei Qing and Fei Hui, and asked the Qin army what was going on.

Wei Qing and Fei Hui said that the Qin army did not move.

"No movement?"

Meng Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and asked with a frown, "Isn't there the slightest sign that the Qin army is preparing to evacuate?" ”

"Not really."

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "According to the soldiers who monitored the Qin army, instead of showing signs of preparing to evacuate, the Qin army is still building additional camps. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun frowned and said to Meng Zhong, "It seems to be a little different from what you expected. ”

"Hmm......"

Meng Zhong nodded slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he frowned and said: "The Qin army does not plan to evacuate, it can be seen that our army won a small victory this morning, they are not convinced, and they are still trying to wait for the morale of their army to recover before starting a fierce battle with our army...... Our army must be ready for battle. ”

"Are you sure?" Gongsun asked.

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "For the sake of safety, I hope to borrow the prestige of the rhino martial arts. ”

As he spoke, he whispered a few words to Gongsun Zhu.

After hearing this, Gongsun Zhu's face showed a slightly melancholy and sad smile, shook his head and said, "I think Xi Wu will not only not mind, but will thank you...... However, I think what Xi Wu hopes most is to defeat the Qin army. Please, Meng Zhong! ”

"Whoa!"
