Chapter 120: Xiong Tuo's decision

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Qu Cheng was called to the handsome tent by the guards sent by Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo.

This made Qu Cheng feel a little happy, after all, it meant that Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo trusted him a little more.

"Your Majesty."

"Oh, Qu Cheng, sit."

At this time, in the tent, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo was discussing something with the three generals of Zai's father, Zicheyu, and Lian Bi, and seeing Qu Cheng's arrival, Xiong Tuo temporarily stopped the discussion, turned his head and asked Qu Cheng: "Qu Cheng, according to your opinion of the Su Wang Ji Run of the Wei State...... What kind of person is he? ”

『……』

Qu Cheng was shocked in his heart, subconsciously thinking that he had exposed his feet, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency's words...... The last general doesn't quite understand. ”

"That's right." Xiong Tuo smiled and explained: "After listening to your suggestion yesterday, a certain wrote another letter and sent it to Wei Ying, proposing to exchange Linying and Xihua counties for Xiong Amber......"

"That's what happened."

Qu Cheng, who had a false alarm, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to be anxious and asked, "That...... The result? Can Wei Jun agree to an exchange? ”

When Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo heard this, his face was a little not good-looking, because just like the last time, Zhao Hongrun still only wrote a few words on the back of the letter.

Oh, this time it's four words: ''.

Although Xiong Tuo didn't quite understand whether this sentence was also a scolding dialect slang on the Wei side, he didn't seem to agree with the word "roll" no matter how he guessed it.

"He refused." Xiong Tuoyan summed it up succinctly.

After that, he revealed the matter and asked Qu Cheng: "Qu Cheng, as far as you know, Ji Run, the king of Nasu, is in Wei Ying...... Is it really one person in power? I heard that the Wei army had a support army, and it was that support army that defeated Xiong Hu...... The general who led the troops. Do you really recognize that Ji Run's childish son is in charge alone? Is there any contradiction between the two? ”

"Jun Shang refers to the general of the Wei army's Junshui camp, Bailiba?"

"Camp Junshui?" Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "That support army is the Junshui Battalion?" ”

Qu Cheng was stunned, and before he could speak, the general Lian Bi was surprised: "That's right! Your Excellency, it's the Junshui Camp! When the prisoners were exchanged that day, Na Ji Run'er once mentioned the name of the Junshui Camp......"

"Junshui Camp ......" A hint of surprise flashed in Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo's eyes. muttered: "It's actually the ...... of the Junshui Camp"

Qu Cheng didn't know what to do, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements are the Junshui Battalion...... What's wrong with that? ”

Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo shook his head and explained: "The Junshui Battalion is a division stationed in the suburbs of Daliang Jing, the capital of the Wei State, and the general in charge of its troops, Baili Ba, or it is reported that it was once the Zongwei of the Wei King Ji Si...... Hmm, it's probably equivalent to a personal guard, a confidant. "Say it. He nodded and said thoughtfully, "And that Ji Run is the son of Ji Si, the king of Wei...... No wonder, no wonder ......"

Hearing this, Zicheyu said regretfully: "The Zongwei of the Wei State is loyal. Like this, if you want to separate that Ji Run and the general Bailiba, I'm afraid it won't work......"

"Hmm." Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo frowned and asked Qu Cheng, "Then does Ji Run have any preferences?" ”

The cautious Qu Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty." A certain gangster was lucky to get out of the pawn, how could he have the heart to find out what Ji Run's preferences were at that time. ”

"That's right." Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo nodded regretfully. Keep your head down thoughtfully.

"It seems that Xiong Tuo doesn't really trust me yet......

Qu Cheng secretly reminded himself in his heart to be on guard.

After thinking for a while, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, Xiong Hu's matter will be revealed for the time being." …… Qu Cheng, yesterday evening, the infighting among the soldiers in our barracks. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Qu Cheng hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "The last general was taking rice there at that time, and he could see it clearly. ”

"That's just right. …… Do you have any advice on this? ”

Qu Cheng thought for a while, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the soldiers under your command." If you stay together for a long time, it may lead to a battle that is far more serious than yesterday......"

"Hmm......" Xiong Tuo replied noncommittally and asked, "Then do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Qu Cheng smiled bitterly a few times, and said in embarrassment: "The last general is still the same as yesterday, and now that the monarch is at war with the Wei army, I'm afraid it will ...... It's hard to win. Let's fight again next year......"

Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo glanced at Qu Cheng when he heard this, frowned and said, "You are called Benjun...... Do you retreat without a fight? ”

"This ......," Qu Cheng lowered his head with an ugly face.

Seeing his expression, the three generals Zaifu, Zi Cheyu, and Lian Bi glanced at each other, and the suspicion in their eyes had long since disappeared.

Even, the general Zaifu couldn't help but persuade Xiong Tuodao: "Son, in fact, the last general thinks that attacking the Wei camp at this time will win less and lose more...... It's better to take General Na Qucheng's suggestion and fight again next year. ”

Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo glanced at Zai Father with displeasure when he heard this: "Do you want to be compared to Xiong Wu?" Not? ”

The father opened his mouth, speechless.

Seeing this scene, Qu Cheng secretly sneered in his heart, because he had long expected that Xiong Tuo would definitely not be willing to be trapped in Yanshui, after all, the enemy of Yangcheng Jun Xiong Hu was not only the Wei State, but also the flesh and blood of his compatriots in his own country, and he also had the possibility of becoming the brothers of the King of Chu.

For example, Xiong Wu, the "Guling Jun" who has now invaded the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

Glancing at the four generals in the tent, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo Zhengse said: "If you retire and fight again next year, you don't have to mention it again." …… As long as Xiong Wu is still attacking the Song Land, this son will never retreat! …… Instead of thinking about retreating, you should think about how to capture that Wei camp! ”

"Hey!"

While the three generals of Zaifu, Zicheyu, and Lian Bi bowed their heads and were silent, Qu Cheng secretly sneered in his heart.

As he himself said, he knew the character of this Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo very well.

"If the king has nothing else to do, Qu Cheng will retire for the time being......"

"Huh? Where are you going? Xiong Tuo frowned and asked.

"I ......" I saw Qu Cheng show a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I see that the king and the three generals seem to want to discuss military affairs, and the generals of a certain defeated army are really inconvenient......"

Hearing this, Xiong Tuo's eyes softened a lot, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay." You stay. …… I'd like to hear your advice too. Speaking of this, he added emphatically: "It's a suggestion to attack the Wei camp, understand?" Put away the rest of the nonsense. ”

"Yes......" Qu Cheng clenched his fists respectfully.

Seeing this, Xiong Tuo nodded, looked back at the three generals Zaifu, Zicheyu, and Lian Bi and said, "Where did you just go?" ”

Father Zai glanced at Qu Cheng. At first, he was suspicious of Qu Cheng, but after listening to Qu Cheng's advice to Xiong Tuo, his doubts about Qu Cheng were reduced a lot, and he no longer minded the general of the defeated army to observe, and said respectfully: "Speaking of storming the Wei camp......

"Storming the Wei camp?" Qu Cheng showed his "shock" in a timely manner, and persuaded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I will be more talkative." At the moment, there is no one in the tent who knows the Wei camp better than the last general, if it is attacked. I'm afraid ......"

Speaking of this, he saw Xiong Tuo's displeased eyes and closed his mouth "at the right time".

As he expected, his actions greatly reduced the doubts of Zai's father, Zicheyu, and Lian Bisan.

No, Zi Cheyu also explained to Qu Cheng with a pleasant face: "General Qu Cheng don't worry, it's just to try the effect of the strong attack...... By the way, slightly reduce the burden on our army's current military rations. ”

"I see. By storming the Wei camp, he tested the defense of the camp, and by the way, the sergeants of the army were reduced. alleviate the food shortage...... It seems that Xiong Tuo is indeed unable to support the food of 110,000 people......

Qu Cheng suddenly realized, nodded and asked carefully, "I don't know which sergeants were sent?" ”

Although his words sounded a little inexplicable, several people in the tent knew it in their hearts.

No, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo snorted angrily: "Naturally, it is the general under the command of this son, is it still the 30,000 people that Ji Run Xiao'er put back?" ”

After that, Xiong Tuo, who realized his gaffe, calmed down. said calmly: "Tomorrow to storm the Wei camp, it is inconvenient for someone to come forward." …… That Ji Run probably hated the Wei captives who were forced to death because of me, and if he saw me, he might torture Xiong Hu...... Father, command you to be the main general. Tomorrow, he will lead the army to attack the Yanshui camp of the Wei army. ”

"Yes!" The general's father responded with his fists clenched.

Xiong Tuo thought for a while and advised: "Remember, when you attack the Wei army camp tomorrow, you don't have to shout to persuade you to surrender. …… In a certain opinion, that Ji Run child is arrogant and can't stand the slightest threat, if your words anger him, he will definitely vent his anger with Xiong Amber. …… Direct Attack! ”

"Understood." Father Zai nodded and asked, "Childe, how many soldiers will you bring with you tomorrow?" ”

Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Sixty thousand! …… Wait until more than half of the dead are killed, and then you withdraw! ”

『……』

The faces of the generals in the tent changed slightly when they heard this, and they naturally understood what Xiong Tuo's order meant.

"Good fellow, this Xiong Tuo's heart is ruthless...... Sure enough, it's even better than the King Su of the Wei Kingdom!'

Qu Cheng couldn't help but tremble for a while, after all, Xiong Tuo's general order was tantamount to directly sentencing at least 30,000 Chu soldiers to death.

And so it went on for another day.

On the first day of November, the general under the command of Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo led 60,000 Chu soldiers and marched towards the Yanshui camp of the Wei army.

The rest of the generals, not only Zi Cheyu and Lian Bi, but also Qu Cheng were temporarily appointed to an army.

As for the large camp of the Chu army, it was guarded by the Chu general Yan Mo.

After driving more than 20 miles, Qu Cheng saw the familiar Yanshui camp again.

He couldn't help but feel emotional.

However, what made him feel the most was the 60,000 Chu troops who attacked the Wei camp.

Maybe the morale of the 60,000 Chu soldiers is still high, but in the eyes of the generals such as Zaifu Qian, Zi Cheyu, Lian Bi, and Qu Cheng, it is simply difficult for their Chu army to conquer the impregnable Wei camp opposite.

But Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo had no choice.

Because the military food in his army is not enough to support as many as 110,000 soldiers, it is better to storm the Wei camp than to sit on the mountain and ask the 110,000 people under his command to eat up the military food, so as to consume the strength of the Wei army and find out the strength of this Wei army; Second, it can also greatly reduce the number of Chu soldiers under his command.

After all, the dead don't need food. (To be continued.) )
