The plan of the Chu army to drive warships to attack Daliang was being carried out in an orderly manner, and in the Yanshui camp of the Wei army, the Wei soldiers were also busy with their daily lives.

In this regard, Wuwei Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, and Wang Shu all complained to some extent.

It is said to be a complaint, but at best it is just a complaint about certain things and certain arrangements.

For example, when the Wei soldiers in the Junshui camp had not yet arrived in Yanling, the three of them and the Yanling soldiers they led were the main force to face the Chu army head-on.

Especially when they were coerced by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and had to obey the latter's dispatch, they once defeated the 60,000 Chu vanguard army of Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu in one fell swoop, killing 30,000 people and forcing 30,000 people, this brilliant result was enough for them to brag for a lifetime.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and after the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion led by the general Bailiba entered the Yanshui Battalion, the Yanling soldiers led by Chen Shi and others naturally retreated from the position of the main force, after all, the elite Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion have far more combat effectiveness than the Yanling soldiers, and a well-equipped Weimen of the Junshui Battalion can deal with two or three Yanling soldiers in a single battle, what is this concept?

As a result, the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion naturally took over the position of the main force, and half of the 10,000 Yanling soldiers were reduced to engineers who assisted the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry in building war equipment, and they took hammers instead of weapons, and beat them at the wood instead of the enemy, or simply gave the craftsmen a hand, and cut off the bark of the logs with planers for them, and then polished them into square planks.

In fact, these 5,000 Yan Ling soldiers are lucky, and the unlucky ones have to count the other 5,000 Yan Ling soldiers who have become logistics soldiers, except for being responsible for cooking every day, they have almost nothing to do.

For some, this is lucky, after all, far from the front line. For the lives of those who are more secure, but for those men who want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to defend their families and the country, the assignment of engineering troops and logistics troops has completely given them hope.

Not to mention the ordinary Yan Ling soldiers, even Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, and Wang Shu, the three "temporary generals during the campaign" who had led the troops to fight against Pingyujun Xiong Hu, seemed to be a little idle these days.

Don't look at the fact that they are in charge of 10,000 Yanling soldiers together. It can be regarded as holding the power of the army in their hands, but in fact, if they can, they would rather give up the power in their hands and temporarily join the Junshui Battalion to participate in the battle, even if it is a small hundred people who are willing to do so.

But unfortunately, the Junshui Battalion is a regular army, and it has a meticulous command system, how can it be possible to add a few outsiders who have never cooperated with it to the army during the war?

Don't look at Zong Wei, Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and other eighteen Zong Wei except Shen Yu and Zhang Biao temporarily joined the Junshui Battalion. was temporarily appointed as the deputy of the generals of the hundred generals, the thousand generals and other positions, but that was just for the sake of the Zongwei of Bailiba, for the sake of the face of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and planned to focus on cultivating these young Zongwei.

Someone else?

Hey, when Wei Jiao and Lu Mu assisted the general Gong Yuan to order the command, and when Mu Qing, Gao Kuo and others went directly to the well and suppressed the 10,000 Chu longbowmen outside the camp with the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion, Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, and Wang Shu, the three former "front-line generals", what were they doing?

They just stood on the camp wall with nothing to do. Anxiously watching the battle, but suffering from not being able to participate in it.

The fundamental reason is that Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, and Wang Shu are not from Zongwei, so they naturally will not receive special treatment from Bailiba. It's not that these three people are incompetent.

"It's not going to go on like this."

On the morning of another day, when the Yanling soldiers under his command gradually began to be busy with the noon meal, Wang Shu, who did not give up, once again called Chen Shi and Ma Zhang together, and the three of them stood in the back camp and muttered and discussed.

"Chen Shi, otherwise. Are you going to remind His Royal Highness King Su? I think His Royal Highness King Su should take you very seriously. ”

"Yes...... Is that so? Chen Shi was a little unconfident.

He didn't know whether Zhao Hongrun valued him, he only knew that he used to judge people by his appearance, and arbitrarily felt that Zhao Hongrun was young, so he refused to hand over the military power.

And when Zhao Hongrun proved himself with excellent strategy. Although he Chen Shi immediately apologized sincerely, even so, Chen Shi was still not sure in his heart.

After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Wang Shu, why don't you go?" It is said that His Royal Highness King Su likes the reckless man with a big grin the most......"

"Me? I'm afraid it's not quite right. Wang Shu shrank his head.

Wang Shu still remembers that when he was fighting with Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu near Yanshui, Zhao Hongrun asked the Zongwei around him to escape in his name in order to induce Xiong Hu to be greedy for merit.

If Zhao Hongrun taught him a lesson after the war, he could be relieved, but Zhao Hongrun didn't mention it afterwards, as if he had forgotten, which made it difficult for Wang Shu to deal with himself.

This incident has become his heart disease to this day.

"Ma Zhang, it's better for you to go, you listened to His Highness more at the beginning, and His Highness shouldn't have any opinions on you."

Chen Shi and Wang Shu summed it up, and finally hit Ma Zhang's head with the idea.

In this regard, Ma Zhang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Having said that, why should I go alone?" We're going to go together! …… If you insist that I go, okay, I will say to Your Highness, 'I request to be transferred to the former army to listen to the use,' and then there will be two of the Yanling soldiers. ”

"You ...... guy"

"It's no longer righteous!"

Chen Shi and Wang Shu said a little angrily.

Just as they were arguing about this, a group of Yan Ling soldiers suddenly ran over in a hurry.

Seeing this, the three of them couldn't help but be a little surprised, after all, these people were sent by them to Yanshui to fetch water, why did they just run back?

What about water? What about buckets?

Just when they were wondering, the group of Yan Ling soldiers seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and ran to them in front of them, panting and saying, "Three...... Three generals, not good ......"

"What's the matter, speak slowly, did you run into Chu Bing? …… But the Chu soldiers want to cross the Yanshui? Chen Shi frowned and asked.

"No, it's not." A soldier waved his hand, gasped and said, "It's not a Chu soldier. It was not that the Chu soldiers wanted to cross Yanshui, but that when the brothers were drawing water with buckets in Yanshui, they saw a fleet of boats going up the Cai River...... The flag on the ship is the flag of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng! ”

"The warship of the Chu army? How many? ”

"I can't count, but at least there must be...... There are nearly a hundred, right? Another Yan Lingbing replied uncertainly.

Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, and Wang Shu looked at each other when they heard this.

"Nearly a hundred warships of the Chu army. Swimming up the Cai River? What does Chu Jun want to do?'

The three of them frowned and pondered.

Suddenly, Chen Shi seemed to think of something, his face changed a little, and he exclaimed, "Not good! Along the Cai River, you can go directly to the girder...... The Chu army wanted to take advantage of the boat and ship to surprise the beam! ”

Wang Shu and Ma Zhang were also frightened when they heard this.

"Oops, terrible, terrible......" Ma Zhanglian said three times in a row, looked back at the two colleagues and said: "The Junshui camp is here, and now the air defense of Daliangjing is ......"

"How, how is this good?" Wang Shu was so anxious that he held his head and spun around again and again.

At this time, Chen Shi seemed to think of something. Hurriedly said: "Go find His Royal Highness King Su and tell His Royal Highness King Su about this!" ”

The three of them seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and hurriedly walked towards the handsome tent.

After a short time, the three of them came to the tent, and after the report, Zong Wei Zhang Wei lifted the tent and looked out in the tent.

"It's three......"

Zhang Biao also recognized Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang, walked out of the tent, raised his hand and made a silent gesture. whispered: "His Royal Highness King Su is still resting, and the three of them have nothing to do." Don't bother. …… When His Highness was woken up, his temper was far less amiable than usual. ”

Seeing this, Chen Shi lowered his voice and said, "Lord Zhang, that's the case, we have just learned the latest movements of the Chu army. As he spoke, he whispered a few words to Zhang Biao.

"The Chu army wants to attack Daliang?" Zhang Biao also changed color when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he immediately raised the tent for the three of them: "Please." ”

So Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang walked into the tent, and just saw Shen Yu lying on the bed and raised his head to look at them, his face full of doubt.

"There is an emergency." Zhang Biao explained to Shen Yu succinctly, and then walked to the couch where Zhao Hongrun was sleeping soundly, and gently woke him up: "Your Highness? His Royal Highness King Su? ”

As Zhang Biao said. When Zhao Hongrun was woken up from sleep, his temper was indeed not as kind as usual, no, he opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Wei's gaze, and he looked very cold.

However, after Zhao Hongrun rubbed his eyes and patted his cheeks to wake up completely as soon as possible, his eyes gradually warmed up.

"Is it the Chu army that is attacking our military camp again?"

"No, Your Highness." Zhang Biao shook his head, bent down and whispered in Zhao Hongrun's ear.

I saw that Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhang Biao sneeringly after listening to it, and after a few breaths, he suddenly jumped up on the bed, ecstatic.

"Aha! …… After waiting so long, this penultimate piece of the puzzle is finally here! Tsukashi Jun Xiong Tuo...... His defeat is assured! ”

After that, Zhao Hongrun's face was ruddy, and he didn't wear boots, so he jumped off the bed with a grunt, and looked at Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang: "Okay!" Good! This is the best news in recent days! …… Reward, reward! What do the three of you want? This king has all promises! ”

『……』

Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang looked at each other.

They really couldn't figure it out, it was obviously a dangerous situation, but why was His Royal Highness King Su so ecstatic, and confidently concluded that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, had been defeated?

And the so-called "penultimate puzzle piece", they can't understand how they think about it.

But there is one thing they can see, that is, Zhao Hongrun is in a very good mood at this time.

Seeing this, the three of them glanced at each other and pleaded in unison: "Your Highness, the three generals of the last general ask the former army to listen to it, even if it is as a sergeant......

"Accurate!"

Before Zhao Hongrun could finish speaking, he agreed, which made Chen Shi and the other three, who had hesitated for a long time because of this matter, surprised and delighted.

"Please General Baili come to the Shuai Tent, and then order the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, Lord Meng Kui, please ask him not to build more combat weapons such as well chariots and stone throwing carts, and let him transform the carriage. …… Soon after, the king needed a large number of wagons for consignment, and asked him to make sure that the ground was strong. ”

"Yes!"

"Right now, it's just the last piece of the puzzle......

Standing barefoot on the cold ground, Zhao Hongrun's heart was hot. (To be continued.) )
