Chapter 732: Wait for the next year
When the scout team of the Chu army was about to report back to Juyang County what they had seen in the area of the Wei army's ice city, Zhao Hongrun's opponent in this battle, Chu Shouling Jun Jingshe, was in the courtyard of Juyang Jun Xiong Li's mansion in Juyang County, watching the local march map intently.

For that Wei Gongzi Ji Run, Shouling Jun Jingshe didn't dare to despise it.
Because in the past 20 days, the two of them have fought several times, but no one can help the other, and they have played an equal match.
Zhao Hongrun is certainly afraid of Jingshe, but why is Jingshe not afraid of this Wei Gongzirun?
It's been a long time since I've faced such a tough opponent...... Obviously, Ji Run is sixteen years old, it's really ......
Jing She let out a long breath and rubbed the bridge of his nose a little tiredly.
On the side, his personal soldier general saw his general like this, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Jingshe, the Wei army has not moved for several days, and the last general thinks that Ji Run should not take any more action......
"Should?" Jing She glanced at the squire and shook his head slightly with a smile.
Because just a dozen days ago, the Wei army, which had been silent for a few days, suddenly sent a strange army to prepare to go over the mountain to attack Caixi County, fortunately, he Jingshe had already guarded against this hand, and let Cai Hou, the governor of the Caixi County Division and the county duke, set up a sentry post in that snow mound, otherwise, Caixi County, which was empty, might really be attacked by the Wei army.
And what made Jingshe feel jealous was that the commander of the Wei army, Ji Run, the son of Wei, actually made a plan after realizing that his whereabouts were exposed, saw through his Jingshe's siege of Wei to save Zhao, and in turn plotted against Juyang County. Note: Please don't stare at some idioms, it's not that the author doesn't know the time of appearance of these idiom allusions, just because you don't use some idioms, you have to use a large paragraph to describe it, such as this sentence Wei saves Zhao.
Fortunately, he Jingshe also thought of this, and set up an ambush outside the city in advance, but finally did not make the Wei army succeed in the sneak attack.
Since that time, Jing She has realized that Ji Run, the prince of Wei on the other side, may not be as good as him Jing She in terms of experience in leading troops to fight, but his grasp of the battle situation and the use of strategies are not much inferior to him, and what makes him even more jealous is that he has not figured out what method that Wei Gongzi used so that Wei Jun could make a fire and cook rice for warmth.
In addition to these, the affinity of that Wei Gongzi Ji Run and the mind of accepting Chu soldiers and Chu people also made Jingshe feel like a great enemy.
Because he already knew that the Wei soldiers who fought against him during this period, the two Wei armies called the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army, were actually the subjects of their Chu State.
can make the people of Chu State willingly driven by it, and come to attack Chu State this time, you can imagine the means of that Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
However, although he was vigilant in his heart, in fact, Jingshe did not believe that Ji Run would send a large number of troops to attack Juyang County in Layue, after all, the weather has been too cold recently, and the flesh and blood of the Wei soldiers pinched the cold iron spear in their palms, and the skin and flesh would freeze on it, and if it was forcibly torn off, maybe even the skin would be brought down.
In the final analysis, he Jingshe was just a little empty in his heart, because he couldn't figure out whether the Wei Gongzi on the other side would do the opposite and dispatch troops and horses in Layue.
In all fairness, if Ji Run attacks Juyang County, Jing She is not afraid, after all, Juyang County is not so easy to attack, and Jing She is worried, but that Wei Gongzi has come up with something he can't understand or understand, such as building an ice city overnight, such as making Wei soldiers cook rice without firewood.
It would be nice to wait for the weather to get a little colder......
As a Chu person, Shouling Jun Jingshe has never liked cold winters, but at this moment, he wishes that the weather would be colder, because in this way, the Wei army can only shrink in that ice city, at least until the spring of the next year, he doesn't have to worry day and night that Wei Gongzi will come up with some strange tricks to attack.
What's more, during the month or two of hiding from the cold winter, the morale of the Wei soldiers will gradually fall, which is unavoidable by any army, including the Chu army in the Juyang area.
In Jing She's view, the number of Chu soldiers on his side was three times that of the Wei army, and if Fang Zhong's Xiang Mo army was counted, it was nearly six times that of the Wei army.
Just as Jing She was thinking about this matter, suddenly a personal soldier walked into the study of the other courtyard, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Jing She, the scouts sent out have an urgent military return. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Jing She's face suddenly became solemn.
He couldn't help but guess: Could it be that Wei Gongzi Ji Run has made some moves again?
"Call them in."
"Yes!"
After a while, several scouts walked into the house, knocked on the ground and clenched their fists, and said, "Lord Jingshe, today we saw the Wei army performing outside the ice city. ”
"Drill?" Jing She was stunned.
He thought that Zhao Hongrun had some action against him in Juyang County, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.
In this kind of ghost weather drills? Doesn't this add to the burden on the soldiers?
Jing She was a little puzzled again, and asked with a frown, "Is it really a drill?" ”
However, when they heard this, the expressions of the scouts became a little strange, and one of the soldiers said hesitantly, "Say it's a drill...... But it's more like playing, playing. ”
The more Jing She listened, the more suspicious she became, so she said: "Tell me what you are waiting to see." ”
Hearing this, the scouts told Jing She that they saw the snowball battle between the Wei army, only to hear Jing She's face change slightly.
After a long time, Jing She waved his hand and dismissed the scouts in a somewhat distracted manner.
"Lord Jingshe?"
Probably noticing that Jing She's expression was different, the attendant beside him couldn't help but ask with concern.
I saw a slightly inexplicable look on Jing She's face, frowned and said, "That Ji Run, it's even more powerful than I thought." …… I thought that if I wasted these two months, the strength and morale of the Wei soldiers would inevitably be weakened, but I didn't expect that Ji Run would actually come up with such a playful way to train his subordinates and maintain morale...... This son is really talented! ”
Thinking that the attendant had been following Jingshe, he naturally understood the truth, and when he saw this, he said: "In this case, it is better for us to use this method to maintain the physical strength and morale of the soldiers......
Jing She didn't speak, just smiled bitterly.
Thinking about it, he also felt a little depressed, after all, he was dignified Shouling Jun Jingshe, one of the three pillars of the Chu State, when did he fall to the point of picking up people's teeth?
The self-esteem in his heart made him reluctant to copy the clever strategy of Ji Run, the son of Wei.
After thinking for a while, Jing She said in a deep voice: "Let's go, follow me to that ice city to have a look." ”
Hearing this, the squire's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly dissuaded him, after all, at this moment, the snow outside the city, the snow has long been over his thighs, which is not conducive to passage at all, and besides, what if he encounters the scouts of the Wei army?
However, Shouling Jun Jingshe insisted on going, and the attendant had no choice.
So, Jing She and a group of guards dressed up as scouts for general scouts and patrols, trekked through the snow to the vicinity of the Wei Army's Ice City, and looked into the distance on a high slope.
As the scouts reported, at this moment, the Wei army is still continuing the snowball battle outside the ice city, and they are not talking about it.
Even if it was far away, Jingshe seemed to be able to feel the excitement of those Wei soldiers at the moment.
After watching from a distance for a while, Shouling Junjingshe silently returned to Juyang County.
After returning to Juyang County, the first general order he issued was to emulate Wei Jun's drills, after all, such a combination of entertainment and exercise is indeed a very rare strategy, even if it is a wisdom to pick up people's teeth, Jingshe is not willing to ignore such a clever strategy.
However, because of this incident, his jealousy and admiration for that Wei Gongzi Ji Run have risen to a higher level.
A few days later, the Wei scouts also noticed something unusual outside Juyang County—tens of thousands of Chu soldiers followed their Wei army's example and started a game of throwing snowballs at each other, quickly reporting the matter back to Zhao Hongrun.
I remember that after hearing about this, Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised, because even he didn't expect that the entertainment activities he came up with on a whim would actually be stolen by Chu Jun.
Compared with the generals under his command who scolded the Chu army generals for being shameless after hearing about this, Zhao Hongrun seemed very generous, after all, it was normal for anyone on the battlefield to steal and learn whose tricks and methods, and the method he came up with was stolen by the Chu army, which shows that his method is good.
In December of the eighteenth year of Hongde of the Great Wei Dynasty, the two armies of Chu and Wei on the battlefield of the West Road withdrew, and each was committed to maintaining the combat effectiveness and morale of the sergeants and soldiers of their respective armies, which made the next confrontation after the beginning of spring in the coming year destined to become more and more intense.
However, at this time, something happened in Caixi County.
It turned out that the three thousand-strong generals of Ran Teng, Zhang Ming, and Xiang Li, who had not returned a month ago, saw that the garrison in Caixi County was empty, and finally seized an opportunity to defeat this county town with insufficient garrisons with the assistance of their respective green crows.
This change affected the plans of Zhao Hongrun and Jingshe.
In particular, Shouling Jun Jingshe, who learned the news one step earlier, immediately ordered Zhou Zheng's Yanyang army to attack Caixi County.
After all, Caixi County was captured by the Wei army, not to mention Cai Hou's Caixi County Division, the location of its camp will become very embarrassing, and more importantly, in this way, there is only one Haoshang County left in front of the Wei army.
And once Haoshang also fell into the hands of the Wei army, this means that the Wei army will be able to join the army of the king of Qi Lü Xu, you must know that at this time, the army of the king of Qi Lü Xi has already captured Cai, but due to the weather, there is no attack on Shouying, the king of Chu.
During the period when Zhou Zheng led the Yanyang army to Caixi County, Cai Hou, the county magistrate of Caixi County, was also shocked and immediately returned to help, after all, his Cai family was in Caixi City.
In late December, although it was very unwise to attack the city in the cold winter of Layue, the Chu army was forced to attack Caixi County.
But unfortunately, the Chu army tried for several days in succession, but after all, it did not capture Caixi County.
In desperation, the Chu general Zhou Zheng led the Yanyang army in the mountain pass between Caixi County and Haoshang County, and stationed the military camp in the wind and snow to prevent the Wei army from sneaking up on Haoshang again.
Since then, the West Road Battlefield, the Middle Road Battlefield, and the East Road Battlefield, including Dongyue, Xiyue, Xinyang, and Haoxian, there has been no war in these seven battlefields, whether it is the Qilu, Weiyue, and Yue Quadripartite Alliance, or the Chu side, both sides are recuperating and preparing for the fierce battle after the spring of the coming year.
Everyone knows that when the ice and snow melt at the beginning of next spring, the war will usher in the final and fiercest battle.
Battle of Shouying, Chudu. (To be continued.) )
