In late October, the "Taolin Wei Camp" was almost completed, but Zhao Hongrun did not rush to attack the "Taolin Qin Camp" twenty miles away on the south side, because there was no meaning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Green Crows sent out to inquire about the news had sent back the information, and the Marquis of Yanwuxin, Gongsun Qi, had built at least seven military camps on the terrain of the 150-mile-long riverside plain from "Huayin" to "Taolin".

What's more, this plain is clearly prepared by Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi to "give it away" to the Wei army, in order to delay the Wei army's time.

Think about it, before attacking those seven military camps, how can the Wei army say that they have to build a military camp first, right? In terms of the number of soldiers and horses under Zhao Hongrun's command, it takes six or seven days to build a military camp with local materials at the earliest, and if you take into account the difficulty of obtaining wood and the climate, the speed of building a military camp will obviously be greatly reduced.

What's more, I believe that Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi will not "reserve" the trees for the Wei army to build a military camp every time.

Zhao Hongrun is no stranger to this kind of trick: at first, he allowed the Wei army to build a military camp, and after the Wei army went too deep, he suddenly resorted to the strategy of "erecting walls and clearing the wilderness", so that the Wei army, which had worked hard to trek to the next Qin camp, could not even obtain wood to build the military camp, so he fell into a dilemma.

If the Wei army chooses to retreat at that time, then the Qin army will have the opportunity to wait for the opportunity to pursue - on the one hand, the Qin army, which has raised enough strength, and on the other hand, the Wei army, which has just arrived and is tired, no matter how you think about it, the former has a better chance of winning.

Therefore, in Zhao Hongrun's view, although Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi seems to have made it clear that he wants to use eight military camps to delay the footsteps of the Wei army, there are no traps among them - is Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi a person who is willing to be passive? The sneak attack of the Qin general Wang Jian, which was enough to make the Wei army more vigilant, was enough to prove that Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi was actually a person with a very strong desire to attack.

"There is only one way to crack the strategy of the Marquis of Wuxin......

On that day, Zhao Hongrun stood outside the handsome tent of Taolin Wei Ying and looked at the sky, and said secretly in his heart.

After returning to the tent, Zhao Hongrun picked up the pen, drew a sketch of the design on the paper, and then summoned the generals of the Shang Shui Army and instructed them to build a tool according to the design on the drawing.

At the same time, he ordered all the sheep in the army to be slaughtered and made into jerky with the help of cold weather.

As for those sheepskin wools, the soldiers of the Sichuan-Yu coalition army were asked to help make sheepskin jackets, which served as winter clothes for the Wei soldiers to protect against the cold.

In addition, Zhao Hongrun also wrote a letter and sent the green crows to the hands of Jie Ziyu in Yucheng, asking the latter to find a way to transport more grain and grass to the front line.

In this way, nearly half a month later, the Wei army under the command of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, built a military camp and was only twenty miles away from the Taolin Qin camp, but did not launch an attack.

This extremely strange phenomenon made the commander of the Qin army and the Marquis of Wuxin, Gongsun Qi, feel a strong sense of crisis.

You must know that although Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi did not know the specific battle situation on the side of the "Hanoi Battlefield" and the "Song County Battlefield", he could somewhat guess that the battle situation in Wei at this time should be more and more unfavorable, so it stands to reason that Wei Gongzi Ji Run should lead the army to attack wildly.

However, the Wei army under Wei Gongzirun did not move in the slightest for half a month.

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon!

『…… There must be a great conspiracy brewing in this son!'

Even if it is the grandson of the Marquis of Wuxin, who has always been steady, he can't help but be a little nervous at this moment.

"Someone, please come to the tent." He commanded the soldiers outside the tent.

A moment later, the Qin general Wang Yi came to the Shuai tent, accompanied by Qin Shaojun and his guard Peng Zhong and others.

It turned out that Sun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, handed over the task of monitoring the movements of the Wei army to Wang Di, while Qin Shaojun was because he had nothing to do in the military camp, so he often approached the "Taolin Wei Camp" with Wang Di to check the situation.

Maybe he was fantasizing about seeing his friend Wei Gonggongrun among the nearly 100,000 Wei troops in the distance, although he still didn't expect what to say if the two of them really met.

"Lord Gongsun."

After seeing the grandson of the Marquis of Wuxin, Wang Yi and Qin Shao bowed to the former and asked the reason.

Gongsun Qi then asked, "Lord Wang, what has happened to Wei Gongzirun recently?" ”

Wang Yixin said: Didn't I report to you last night?

However, since Gongsun Qi asked, he naturally had to answer seriously: "There is no change for the time being, and it seems that the Wei army does not plan to attack my 'Taolin Military Camp' for the time being." ”

"That's not right...... This is not right...... "Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi paced back and forth in the tent, and suddenly turned his head and asked Wang Yu: "Lord Wang Yu, you said that the Wei army slaughtered the sheep in their army on a large scale, and is still building a kind of chariot?" ”

"Yes." Wang Yi nodded.

According to his monitoring of the Wei army in the past few days, the Wei army has only been busy doing two things recently: first, slaughtering the sheep accompanying the army, taking materials to make dried meat and winter clothes to protect against the cold; Second, build a chariot.

"The Wei army slaughtered all the sheep?" Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi asked.

Hearing this, Wang Yi nodded.

Hearing this, the Marquis of Wuxin stepped over to the table with the marching map, and looked at the map with a frown.

Seeing his solemn expression, Qin Shaojun stepped forward and asked, "Marquis Wuxin, is there any problem?" ”

Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi pondered for a while and said: "The Wei army slaughtered the sheep and made them into jerky, in my opinion, it is very likely that the Wei army is preparing for the 'rush'......"

"Run?" Qin Shaojun was stunned and asked in surprise, "Where is the rush?" Could it be that I am a native of Daqin? ”

"That's the only explanation." Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi said casually, but his eyes were on Xianyang, the new capital of their Qin State on the map.

He strongly suspected that in order to save the Wei State and force the Qin State to withdraw from this war, that Wei Gongzi Run was likely to lead his troops and horses in a frenzy and attack Xianyang for thousands of miles.

Yes, Wei Tianzirun, who was under the threat of losing his country, made such a ruinous decision.

Suddenly, the Marquis of Wuxin, Gongsun Qi, asked Wang Jidao: "How many so-called chariots did the Wei army build?" ”

"Many, too many." Wang replied.

Hearing this, Wuxin Hou Gongsun squinted his eyes, a few hints of understanding flashed in his eyes, nodded and said: "That's right, I think those chariots are not built to attack my 'Taolin Military Camp', but to transport baggage ......" Speaking of this, the look in his eyes became much more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I see, after Wei Gongzirun built the military camp, he didn't attack my Taolin camp, it was because in his strategy, it was meaningless to attack my military camp, and his goal was my Daqin local!" …… He seemed confident that he would leave our army behind. ”

Hearing this, Qin Shaojun and Qin General Wang Yi both showed shocked expressions.

Among them, Wang Yi frowned and said: "Lord Gongsun, if the Wei army really wants to attack my Great Qin territory, then our army must immediately retreat......

"Where is the retreat?" Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi glanced at Wang Yi and said lightly: "Retreat to Huayin? Surrender the seven military camps along the way to the Wei army in vain? ”

"Of course not, when retreating, our army will naturally burn down those barracks......" Wang Yi explained his meaning, but saw Gongsun Qi shook his head and said: "I originally wanted to stop the Wei army here until next year, if Wei Gongzi Run played a trick and let our army mess up......"

He didn't continue, but he believed that Qin Shaojun and Wang Yi had already understood what he meant: how could Wei Gongzirun be allowed to pass through this plain without any worries so easily?

However, it is clear that there are some things that Wang Yi must remind the Marquis of Wuxin in front of him: "Lord Gongsun, if Wei Gongzirun's army really invades my territory in Great Qin, I am afraid it will be ......."

Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi didn't speak, just looked at the map with a confused expression.

He couldn't understand one thing: the Wei army was clearly preparing to attack his Qin mainland in winter, but the question was, in winter, when the snow was falling and the roads were difficult, why did the Wei army rely on to pass through this plain? What about leaving behind the army of his grandson?

"Is it the chariot...... What's the secret?'

Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi let out a long breath, puzzled.

A few days later, as November approached, the temperature in Mikawa County dropped rapidly, and then, goose feathers and snow fell from the sky, covering everything in a layer of silver.

At this time, the Wei army still did not have the slightest movement, and this strange phenomenon made Wuxin Marquis Gongsun more and more vigilant.

Finally, one day, more than a dozen Wei transport ships docked on the bank of the river on the north side of the Han Valley, and the Wei army, which had already been ready there, carried the sacks of grain on board to their chariots, and then drove the horses with whips and pulled the wagons away.

This scene made the eyes of the Wei officials on the ship widen, because they found that the chariots that were running fast on the snow actually had no wheels......

"On the orders of His Royal Highness King Su, and I bother you to send these design drawings to the various armies and the Smelting Bureau of Daliang according to the markings." Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, slapped a stack of thick design drawings on the chest of one of the stunned officials, reminding: "Don't make a mistake, just count on this thing to transport logistics grain and grass in the harsh winter." ”

Hearing this, the official's expression perked up, and he carefully held the stack of blueprints in his hand, and curiously read the name of the chariot-like thing on the drawings—the (horse-drawn) sleigh chariot.

Half a day later, Wu Ji led the team carrying grain back to Taolin Wei Ying, distributed this batch of grain to each team of 1,000 people, and then went to the Shuai tent to report to Zhao Hongrun.

"Your Royal Highness, the newly arrived grain has been distributed."

Zhao Hongrun, who was roasting the fire in the tent, was overjoyed when he heard this, so he led Wu Ji to the vicinity of the camp gate, only to see that at this time, the horse-drawn sleigh chariots were already ready.

I saw Zhao Hongrun take Qi'er and Wei Jiao and several other guards, board a horse-drawn sleigh, and then wave forward.

"Let's go! …… Target, Qindu Xianyang! ”

At the sound of an order, tens of thousands of horse-drawn sleigh chariots swept past the Taolin Qin camp at a rapid speed, heading towards the vast sea of snow on the west side.

When passing by the Qin camp in the peach forest, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look in the direction of the Qin camp, looking at the Qin soldiers who seemed to be stunned, and a few smiles rose on the corners of his mouth.

"Farewell, Wuxin Marquis Gongsun ......"
