After Fucha led the army into the Yue Kingdom, he did not encounter any resistance, and the road was like a bamboo, and he arrived outside the city of Huiji in a few days; Along the way, Bo Yao sang praises and praises of virtue, praised how wise and powerful the husband is, and tried his best to please and flatter, and the generals under him also did the same, and welcomed and flattered the husband in every way.

In countless flattering words, even if the husband is good at concentration, he can't help but feel a little fluttery, and he feels that he is the master of heaven, and Yue Guo is his own bag, and it is easy to take it.

This night, they rested outside the city of Huiji, and the husband had already thought about how to attack the city early tomorrow morning, and what kind of posture to use to climb the palace again.

When the husband was in a daze, he was awakened by the noisy sound, and hurriedly stepped out of the tent to check, only to see that the fire was raging outside, and many Wu soldiers who had not had time to put on armor fell motionless in a pool of blood, and the rest also scattered in a panic, and were killed by the Vietnamese army who came out of nowhere.

Although Fucha tried his best to reorganize the army, he was never able to reverse the defeat, and the battle ended with the defeat of the Wu army and Fucha fled in panic.

In the countless faltering fires, Fucha saw Fan Li, and the two seemingly insubstantial city gates also became the nightmare of Fucha's life......

Fucha led the remnants of the army to flee all the way to a village not far from Huiji, and after settling down, he found that it was the village of Ramie, and it was here that he met Yiguang, thus beginning a lifelong entanglement......

Fucha looked up at the pear blossom tree that had not yet opened, his heart was complicated and indescribable, it was really unthinkable that he came here again after going around and around, only this time, he became a defeated man, and the ambition at the time of departure has become a complete joke at this moment!

"The King." The dagger came to him at some point.

The husband retracted his gaze, covered his lips and coughed, and said, "Is it clear?" ”

"Clear." Tu Dagger nodded, his expression unusually solemn.

"How many people are left?"

"Less than 30,000."

Although he had been mentally prepared, when he heard this number, his chest was still agitated, he covered his mouth and coughed repeatedly, and it took a while before he barely stopped, and said in a dumb voice: "So in the battle last night, we lost more than 40,000 people?" ”

"Yes." This answer made Fucha cough again, this time he went out, he gathered 70,000 soldiers, and only after one battle, he lost most of the soldiers, which was really unacceptable to him.

"Don't worry, the king, after we recuperate, we will attack Huiji and capture it in one fell swoop." The comfort of the dagger was so pale and powerless that even he couldn't convince himself, let alone the husband.

"Conquer it in one fell swoop, you ......" Before the words were finished, Fucha coughed violently again, and a burst of sweetness surged up his throat, which he forcibly swallowed; The husband knew what it was, and if it was seen, it would surely shake the morale of the army, which was already almost discouraged.

Tu Dagger stroked his back again and again, "The king must take care of the dragon's body." ”

Fucha looked at his concerned face and said with a wry smile: "Thinking back to three years ago, how full of spirits was, but now there are a few of you left to accompany this king. ”

After a moment of silence, the husband said, "What about Bo Yao?" ”

"Dazai-sama was frightened last night, and he was sick in bed, unable to do anything." Hearing this answer, Fucha showed a look of disgust on his face, "It's really useless! ”

If the father is here, no matter how sick he is, he will support the sick body to analyze the battle situation, give him advice, find the flaws of the enemy army, and defeat the enemy.

The longer he stayed from Gusu, the more he realized that Wu Zixu was good to him......

The dagger said tentatively, "What is the king's next plan?" ”

The husband closed his eyes, his mind flew like a wheel, the art of war left by Sun Shi was exquisite, a collection of strategy and sophistry, but Fan Li had also read it, when it was first deduced, Fan Li's understanding of the book of war was even above him; I'm afraid that as soon as he uses it, he will be immediately countered by Fan Li, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Fan Li...... This person, whom he once relied on and admired immensely, has now become the biggest obstacle and enemy on his way to domination.

After a long time, Fucha slowly opened his eyes, "Picture dagger." ”

Hearing the husband call himself, Tu Dagger hurriedly cheered up, "Humble duty." ”

"You immediately take the king's edict back to Gusu, mobilize the remaining soldiers and horses to come here, and fight to the death with the Vietnamese army!" The husband's face is resolute and resolute; He knew in his heart that this was his only chance, and if he missed it, it would be impossible to eliminate Yue Guo, but would become Yue Guo's meal.

The dagger's eyes rolled quickly, and he said cautiously: "The Yue Kingdom is in full swing at this time, and the head-on conflict, will it take some risks?" I think that I might as well avoid the edge for the time being, and after careful planning, I will attack it in one fell swoop. ”

Fucha's thin lips curved slightly, raising a sneering arc, "Scared? Didn't you just say that you want to conquer Huiji in one fell swoop? ”

Tu Dagger was embarrassed by him for a while, and said with a dry smile: "The humble position is worried about the safety of the king, it is not safe here, in case the Vietnamese army attacks, the king ......"

Fu Cha interrupted coldly, "This king has his own way to deal with it, you just have to go back to Gusu to transfer troops." ”

Seeing him say this, Tu Dagger didn't dare to say more, "Humble and orderly." ”

Half an hour later, Tu Dagger took his husband's messenger and a few cronies, and hurried to Gusu to mobilize troops and horses to fight to the death with Yue.

At least, that's what the figure dagger thinks at this moment......

On the third day of Tudag's departure, the Vietnamese army really found the village of Ramie, and Fan Li personally led 50,000 elite soldiers to launch an attack overnight, wanting to completely destroy the Wu army.

Unexpectedly, just when the Vietnamese army took the lead and forced the Wu army to retreat, many Wu troops suddenly appeared on the two wings, and countless torches were connected into a boundless fire in the night, quickly attacking the Vietnamese army, and the killing sound shook the sky.

This sudden change made the Vietnamese army frightened, the army's heart was shaken, Fu Cha took advantage of the situation to launch a counteroffensive with the only soldiers, and the situation was reversed for a while, and the Vietnamese army became the defeated side, and the manpower was seriously damaged, and it had to temporarily truce.

After this battle, the two armies of Wu and Yue drew the village of Ramie as the boundary, and began a stalemate that lasted for several days, Fucha was not sure to break through, Fan Li was worried that Fucha had reinforcements, so no one dared to step across the boundary easily.

This battle, whether it is for Fucha or Fan Li, is very important, and the winner will embark on the road to hegemony; The loser becomes a stepping stone for others and has nothing.

In the early spring season, the weather is always cold and biting, without a trace of warmth, as if you are still in the middle of winter.

Fan Li paced slowly in the tent, his eyes glancing at the curtain that was blown by the cold wind from time to time, and his eyebrows were vaguely anxious, as if he was waiting for someone.

After about half an hour, hurried footsteps sounded outside the tent, and then the tent width was lifted, and a cold Fanlou walked in.

Fan Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "How, have you found out?" ”

Fanlou rubbed his cold hands and said in a deep voice: "It's clear, there are no reinforcements at all, King Wu has put on a good show for us." ”

Hearing this, Fan Li showed a hint of joy, and then said, "Sit down and talk carefully." ”

"What I saw on the mountain that day was not any reinforcements, but a small group of Wu troops and ...... A scarecrow dressed in the armor of the Wu Army. ”

"Scarecrow?"

"Not bad." Fanlou said: "The light at night is dim and unclear, and the two armies are quite far apart, so it is difficult to distinguish between them, but it is the Wu army all over the mountains, which has confused the morale of the army." King Wu's performance in this play is really good, even you and I have lied to me. Speaking of this, Fanlou frowned, "Having said that, you and I have seen the military book left by Sun Wu, and it seems that there is no such strategy." ”

Fan Li said with a complicated expression: "There are two strategies in the book of war, one is 'blossoming on the tree', and the other is 'creating something out of nothing'. ”

When he mentioned this, Fanlou also thought about it, and suddenly stroked his palm, "With the fake and the real, cut the ribbon and paste the tree, so that the flowers and the trees complement each other, from nothing to something, to the overall situation." ”

"He knows that if he uses one strategy alone, he will definitely be recognized by us, so he mixes the two strategies into one, making it difficult for us to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and we dare not attack rashly, worthy of being Sun Wu's apprentice." Saying that, Fan Li said again: "How did you find out?" ”

The corners of Fanlou's lips raised slightly, "I carefully inspected the hillside where Wu Jun appeared, where there were many marks supported by wooden poles and scattered straw; In addition, I also asked the people nearby, saying that before the war, I had seen the Wu army collecting straw on a large scale, and the spies replied that they had not found the second group of Wu troops to investigate along the road. Judging from these points, it can be concluded that except for a few Wu Bing soldiers we saw that night, the rest were scarecrows! ”

Fan Li said: "Knowing that they are bluffing, there is no need to spend it anymore, pass the order, let the soldiers recuperate their spirits, attack tonight, and be sure to capture Wu Wangfucha before the real reinforcements of Wu State arrive." ”

"Yes!" Fanlou agreed.

The movement of the Vietnamese army attracted the attention of Wu Jun, and the forward flame fell in love with Fucha in the pear blossom forest, and he was squatting under the pear tree, scattering the dirt into the pit, as if he was burying something.

Blaze stood behind him and said eagerly: "King Qiqi, the spies have just reported and found that the Vietnamese army is gathered, and it seems that they are planning to attack again. ”

After sprinkling the last handful of dirt, he clapped his hands, got up, and said, "After all, it's coming." ”

"The last general, let people go to the mountains to make arrangements." In the face of the flames, the husband waved his hand and said, "No need, since they dare to come, they must have seen through the king's strategy, and those scarecrows are useless; Today's momentum, there is nowhere to avoid, and there is no momentum to borrow, only to meet the enemy head-on! ”

Upon hearing this, Blaze couldn't help but panic, "But we only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are thousands of wounded among them, how can we be their opponents?" ”

Hearing his discouraged words, the husband was not angry, and said lightly: "Scared? ”

Blaze's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "The last general is a rough man, what is there to be afraid of, that is, worry about the king, you are a golden body, if there are three long and two short, the last general will be responsible even if he dies!" ”

"On the battlefield, the most useless thing is to worry, if you have this thought, it is better to kill a few more Vietnamese soldiers!" Speaking of this, the husband's eyes sank, "What you said just now that shook the heart of the army, this king just didn't hear it, and if there is another time, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

Fur Flame was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The last general is guilty, thank you for the king's grace not to kill!" ”

After motioning for Blaze to get up, the husband said, "Is there any news from the dagger?" ”

"Not yet." Seeing that Fucha's face was gloomy, Flame hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the king can rest assured, the spies have been waiting on the road that General Tu must pass, and as soon as there is news, he will come to report immediately." ”

The husband didn't speak, just looked in the direction of Gusu from afar, not knowing what he was thinking.

At night, Fan Li and Fanlou led 80,000 Vietnamese troops to attack, and Fucha laid a trap early to consume part of the Vietnamese army's strength, but in the end they were outnumbered and forced to retreat, and the situation was quite unfavorable.
