In the end, the Yanling army got its wish and went to the Mengshan area to support Xu Yin's Fencheng army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And after this, Wei Jiao asked Zhao Hongrun suspiciously: "Your Highness, even though you have seen through the tricks of the Chu army, why do you still want to let the Yan Ling army enter the army?" Isn't that useless? ”

"Who says it's useless?"

Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this, and said: "If everything is really as I expected, then, as long as the operation is done properly, Mengshan, the incense bait thrown by the Chu army, may not be impossible to overcome......"

Speaking of this, the smile on his face narrowed a little, and Zhengse said: "Wei Jiao, you have to take into account that General Xu Yin was persecuted by rumors last year and suffered unjustly, and I don't know how many unknown people accuse him behind his back...... You can imagine his mood. Right now, in my Wei camp, I'm afraid that no one is more eager to make meritorious contributions than him, even if it is Qu Cheng, who is extremely utilitarian, maybe he is not as ...... as him."

"Your Highness, are you worried that General Xu Yin will disobey orders?" Wei Jiao came over and couldn't help asking.

Zhao Hongrun paused, and said with an analogy: "A piece of fresh meat is placed in front, and few people can resist the temptation. …… In the past, most of the generals Xu Yin would not be fooled, but now that he is earnest, maybe he may not be aware of the trap under the bait...... Now that Monsanto is about to be broken, if I ask him to withdraw his troops at this time, how will he be willing? ”

"But Your Highness ......" Wei Jiao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Hongrun waving his hand.

"I know what you're trying to say. First, for the time being, I can't guarantee that I have seen through the tricks of the Chu army, and second, who is right and who is wrong in the end will not be good for my relationship with General Xu Yin. …… If I had reminded him, nine times out of ten he would not have willingly given up what seemed to be an easy victory. If it turns out that I was wrong, will he have a different kind of misunderstanding? And the worst thing is that if I am unfortunately expected, how will General Xu Yin face this king in the future? …… Therefore, this king simply ignored it, even if the battle was really lost, but the relationship between this king and General Xu Yin was not hindered. ”

Wei Jiao thought about it carefully when he heard this, and said convincingly: "Your Highness is far-sighted and respectful. ”

"What kind of foresight is this?" Zhao Hongrun laughed, and then said in a deep voice: "Also, it is the relationship between Yan Lingjun...... Because of Qu Cheng's relationship, I do have a lot of precautions against the Yan Ling army, and I am too partial to the merchant army, which I admit. Today, the Yanling army is united in order to establish meritorious service in this battle, and if it is stopped, it will be detrimental to the morale of the army......"

"But in this way, His Highness will finish up on the Fencheng Army and the Yanling Army......," Wei Jiao said with some unswervingness.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun laughed and said: "This king is the commander of the Western Route Army of the Qilu and Wei Kingdoms, and this is a position that even the lord of the Lu State has not obtained, what more can the husband ask for?" …… In fact, at the moment, a little merit is no longer important to me, not to mention, as long as this battle is fought beautifully, even if this king does not take credit, the people of the country will naturally think of this king as the commander......"

"That's just as well." Wei Jiao thought about it and nodded in agreement with Zhao Hongrun's words.

After all, today's Zhao Hongrun is no longer a child who just left the palace two years ago, and there is really no need to compete with the soldiers under his command.

"But then again, are you sure, Your Highness?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's eyes showed a little inexplicable smile, and he said with a chuckle: "Fifty percent." …… If I'm not mistaken, the Chu army of Monshan will be in a very embarrassing situation at this time, hehehe. ”

At the same time, Qu Cheng had already led the Yanling army to the foot of Mengshan Mountain and joined Xu Yin's Fencheng army.

And the arrival of Yan Lingjun made Xu Yin feel extremely happy.

Because to be more honest, the reason why his Fen army is at the foot of Mengshan Mountain at this moment is partly because Cai captures the tiger, and the other part is due to Xu Yin's own meritorious service, and he wants to take the opportunity to pursue and take Mengshan in one go.

Unexpectedly, the Chu army in Xiangcheng reacted very quickly, and sent two armies of 20,000 people one after the other, which made the Fencheng army not only fail to conquer Mengshan, but fell into the embarrassing situation of being attacked from three sides.

It is undeniable that the defensive strength of the Fencheng army is indeed very strong, with one enemy and three, with 15,000 troops to resist nearly 50,000 Chu State troops, and they actually fought evenly with the other side in a short period of time.

But the problem is that although they can hold the front temporarily, they are dragged by the Chu army: defend, not for long; Retreat, and you can't retreat.

In this case, Xu Yin could only hope for the army led by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su in the rear.

But he couldn't pull this face, after all, he acquiesced in the fact that his general Cai Baohu went deep alone, and now the army under his command is in a dilemma, how can he send someone to Zhao Hongrun for help?

You must know that according to the strategy previously specified by Zhao Hongrun, the schedule of storming Mengshan will be postponed for at least three days, and then wait for their Wei army to test the speed of mutual support between Mengshan and Xiangcheng.

But to Xu Yin's surprise and shame, Zhao Hongrun sent Yan Ling's army without saying a word, with a full 20,000 soldiers.

The arrival of 20,000 soldiers immediately relieved Fen Chengsai's embarrassing situation: because there were 20,000 more friendly troops around him, even if the battle situation was unfavorable, Xu Yin had the confidence to retreat temporarily, and he did not have to worry too much about the pursuit of the Chu army.

"His Royal Highness King Su...... What did General Zento bring? ”

After inviting Qu Cheng to the temporary main account, Xu Yin asked with a little trouble.

Hearing this, Yan Mo said with a smile: "General Xu, His Royal Highness King Su said that he fully supports the general's attack on Mengshan. However, His Highness feels that today's battle is a bit strange, so please be vigilant ......"

As he spoke, he conveyed what Zhao Hongrun said to their generals in the tent to Xu Yin as it was, only to hear the latter frown.

Maybe as Zhao Hongrun guessed, if he didn't send Yan Lingjun to support Xu Yin, but just told the latter to retreat, it is very likely that Xu Yin will not listen, and there will even be some misunderstandings.

But right now, 20,000 Yan Ling troops are by his side, and Zhao Hongrun has proved with practical actions that his words of full support for Xu Yin are not empty words, which allows Xu Yin to restrain his earnest mood for meritorious service a little, and carefully ponder what Zhao Hongrun said to the generals.

This is where subjective stereotypes determine attitudes.

"Listening to General Yan say this, Xu is really ......"

After saying half a sentence, Xu Yin looked sideways in the direction of the top of Mengshan Mountain, thoughtful.

After half a ring, he asked with a straight face: "His Royal Highness King Su is still in the same place now?" ”

"Yes!" Yan Mo nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Su has ordered the Shang Shui Army to continue to build the camp......

Hearing this, Xu Yin was slightly stunned, and then sighed melancholy, giving people a faint illusion of a hero's twilight.

"After this battle, Xu should go to His Royal Highness in person to confess."

After that, he took a deep breath, turned his head to look in the direction of Meng Shan, squinted his eyes and said, "But before that, let Xu remove some obstacles for His Royal Highness King Su, even if it is to atone for his sins......"

Hearing this, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo glanced at each other, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Yan Lingjun, I am willing to obey General Xu's dispatch!" ”

However, to the surprise of the two, they saw a few smiles blooming in the corners of Xu Yin's eyes, licked his lips and said: "The two generals must not be anxious, Xu Mou is so eager that his eyes are blinded because of his meritorious service, and the two of them should take warning." …… Let Xu play tricks on the Chu army on Mengshan first, and see if it is really as His Highness expected. ”

After that, he summoned a personal guard and ordered: "Tell Cai Baohu's Xiwei battalion to withdraw!" ”

"Huh?" The guard was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in amazement, "General, at this time, tell General Cai to withdraw?" ”

It's no wonder that this guard horse was so shocked, after all, at this moment, the Chu battalion of Mengshan has even broken through the camp gate, and it is when he is pursuing the victory, why should he withdraw the troops of a battalion instead?

Seeing this, Xu Yin bluffed with a straight face: "Why don't you go quickly?!" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Xu Yin say this, the guard hurriedly went to give the order.

At the same time, on the top of Mengshan Mountain, General Chu Dou Lian was staring intently at the battle situation halfway up the mountain.

Don't look at the gate of their Mengshan Chu camp that has been breached by Cai Baohu of the Wei army, but Dou Lian is not flustered, because he knows very well that the Mengshan Chu camp that he spent a lot of energy to build will never fall because a gate is breached.

"The Wei army's offensive is getting more and more fierce, do you want to use the soldiers in the cave?"

By Dou Lian's side, a middle-aged deputy general suggested beside him.

Hearing this, Dou Lian looked at the battle situation, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "A thousand soldiers, don't ...... more"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly frowned, because he was shocked to see that about half of the Wei army halfway up the mountain actually retreated down the mountain.

What's going on?

Dou Lian's face suddenly sank.

Seeing this, the middle-aged deputy general said cautiously: "It may be that the Wei army can't attack for a long time, and wants to withdraw a soldier and replace it with new reinforcements......"

New reinforcements?

Dou Lian looked at the Wei army at the foot of the mountain fluttering the Yanling banner, called a personal guard, and said to him: "Tell the soldiers near Yuanmen to slow down the counterattack, don't scare the Wei army away." ”

"Yes!" The guard understood, and immediately ran to the gate near the halfway up the mountain.

However, the facts were beyond Dou Lian's expectations, obviously Xu Yin had received the support of 20,000 Yanling troops, but he was not in a hurry to attack Mengshan with all his might, except for Deng Peng, who mobilized nearly 10,000 troops to support the Zhongwei battalion on the flank, the remaining 10,000 or so Yanling troops, Xu Yin pinched them in his hands, but he didn't let them out.

What made Dou Lian even more anxious was that this time the Wei army only had Yan Ling's army rushing to support Xu Yin's Fen Cheng Sai, and the Su King Ji Run and the other merchant army with 20,000 people seemed to be still in place.

None of this is baited?

Dou Lian gradually became a little impatient and a little dazed.

"General, most of the Wei army is already at the foot of the mountain, do you want to continue to show weakness?" The middle-aged lieutenant asked cautiously.

I saw that Dou Lian subconsciously glanced at the position where the Wei army was originally preparing to camp in the distance, and raised his hand and clenched his fist several times, but finally drooped down.

“…… continued to show weakness and hung the Wei army under the mountain. If you give up now, it is equivalent to giving up all your previous achievements. ”

Dou Lian gritted his teeth hatefully and said this, muttering secretly in his heart: What is that stinky kid doing? Can't you see that my Monshan camp is in danger when you see him? In this case, he did not give the order to wave the army for a general attack?

And when Dou Lian was secretly gritting his teeth, he naturally wouldn't see that Xu Yin looked at Meng Shan expressionlessly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Xu removed Cai Baohu's Xiwei battalion, relying on Chu Xuan's Dongwei battalion alone, he was able to fight evenly with the Chu army on the mountain, hey, interesting...... (To be continued.) )
