Chapter 822: The Movement of the Chu Army

(Please subscribe, don't be stingy with your comments, it's still lively after the New Year!) )

The speed at which the situation changes is always unexpected, especially on the battlefield.

Not long after the Chu army entered Shangluo, the Wei army at Changpingguan on the other side of the river made a move, and its advance army crossed the river directly.

The Wei army was not good, but the Chu army did not admit it at all.

In the past, they joined forces with Qin Qi to fight against the Wei army, and the Chu army did not contribute to the work, but this time they were ready to do a big job.

Therefore, after the Wei army took action, Xiong Xian also immediately ordered the vanguard of the Chu army to drive the Wei army back to the north of the river.

There were more than 200,000 troops in the Chu State, and they were naturally not frightened in the face of the Wei army in Changping Pass, and the 20,000 Chu troops directly pounced on the 5,000 Wei troops who crossed the river.

But Wang Xiu, the commander of the Wei army, was not a fool, and it was impossible for 5,000 to 20,000 to win, and after the Chu army reacted, he let the Wei army that had crossed the river retreat.

For Wang Xiu, sending a large army across the river was not to fight with the Chu people, but to make the Chu people move.

The 200,000 troops of the Chu army are indeed powerful, which is invincible to Wang Xiu, so he tried to lead the Chu people by the nose.

There is a big river in danger, and he is not worried about the 200,000 Chu troops on the opposite side.

Chu Jun sighed, and Xiong Xianye himself was also very angry, but there was more than one thing that made him upset.

Because then he received a report from his subordinates, and Wu Ren, who was following closely behind, was also rapidly approaching, making Xiong Xian realize that he had miscalculated.

The 50,000 troops of the Wu people, Xiong Xian didn't pay attention to it at first, he thought that the Wu army was following behind, in order to monitor the movements of his army.

But now that the people of Wu and Wei have moved, Xiong Xian immediately changed his opinion, making him easily think that Wei and Wu had reached some kind of agreement.

In fact, this is not unusual, because on the surface, Wei and Wu are allies.

In the barracks twenty miles north of Upper Los Angeles, Xiong Xian was thinking about the situation in the army alone, while the generals below were waiting for his decision.

But it was not a matter for Xiong Xian to remain silent like this, so it didn't take long for a general to ask: "General, the Wei army has now retreated to the north of the river, why don't we switch the defense line at this time and annihilate all the Wu troops behind us!" ”

This remark easily won the approval of some people, because among the generals of the Chu army, some people were still inclined to attack Wu.

However, Xiong Xian, as the main general, didn't think so, since he was appointed by Xiong Jun as the main general, it means that he followed Xiong Jun's opinion.

"Vat Wu? Don't you know what is the purpose of my 200,000-strong army going north? Xiong Xian asked with a slap on his face.

Van Wu definitely didn't need such a large army, and after being reprimanded by the main general, the general who had just stood up had to retreat.

Xiong Xian also walked out of deep thought at this time, only to hear him continue: "Ladies and gentlemen, our army went north to help the Qi State resist the Wei State, not for the defeat of the remnants of the Wu State!" ”

From the meaning of Xiong Xian's words, it can also be seen that he did not take Wu Guo to heart at all.

"General, since you don't do anything to Wu Guo, how should our army deal with it next?" A general asked again.

200,000 troops for his own dispatch, Xiong Xian was very confident, only to listen to him: "The top priority is to send troops into Qi as soon as possible, now that the Wei army is plundering Qi, the Qi people will not last long!" ”

This is also Xiong Xian's own words, it is difficult for other people to be motivated by the things that are in Qi, and no one is willing to do thankless things.

But this is a hurdle that the Qi army can't get around, so Xiong Xian said: "The army of Qi is tentatively set at 120,000, led by the general himself, are you willing to enter Qi with the general?" ”

When Xiong Xian set his eyes on his subordinates, some people directly looked away, for fear of running into the general.

Except for a few people who were willing to support Xiong Xian, everyone else remained silent, and at the same time expressed their attitude.

Xiong Xian was very angry at this time, but he had no other way, this was the status quo that the monarch could not change.

So Xiong Xian said: "Since they are all silent, then the general will order it himself......"

Speaking of which, Xiong Xian didn't care whether everyone agreed or not, so he read out the names one by one according to what he thought in his heart.

In less than a minute, the composition of the 120,000-strong army had been finalized, and because Xiong Xian himself had great military exploits and won the trust of the monarch, no one had any objections at this time.

"The 120,000 army has entered Qidi, but the Wei army of Changping Pass north of the river still has to be guarded, and the Wu army active in Liangdi also needs to be watched, and these two tasks will be handed over to the eight left by you!" Xiong Xian was not pointed to the eight people.

The eight generals of the Chu army who stayed at the beginning were still happy, but when they heard that the main general had arranged such a difficult task for them, the smiles they had just put on disappeared.

There are 80,000 Wei troops in Changping Pass, plus 50,000 Yu Wu troops behind them, and the pressure to prevent these people is not ordinary.

In order to make the few people who remained realize the importance of the problem, Xiong Xian said: "Everyone, if you want to retreat after the general leads the army into Qi, you need to hold this road and not let the Wei army and the Wu army disturb it!" ”

"Otherwise, if the back road is robbed, my 200,000 elites of Dachu may fall into the encirclement of the Wei army, and no one can afford to bear the responsibility!"

These words were said heavily, and everyone's eyebrows disappeared, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity.

"Chen Yu, the army within Wang Ji is under your command, don't let the general down!" At this time, Xiong Xian pointed to a middle-aged general in the military tent.

Xiong Xian is nearly fifty, he has not been in the army for many years, Chen Yu is a rising star he values, and at this time, he naturally has to entrust him with a heavy responsibility to show his experience.

Chen Yu didn't expect that he would be appointed as the commander of the remaining 80,000 troops, it stands to reason that Xiong Xian does not have this power, but now that it is a critical moment of survival, Xiong Xian's extraordinary means are not abrupt.

Chen Yu stood up, and under the unconvinced eyes of his colleagues, he only heard a deep reply: "General rest assured, the last general will not let the Wei army become a big country, let alone let the people of Wu go on the wrong foot!" ”

These words sounded energetic, Xiong Xian's heart warmed up a little, and he listened to Xiong Xian: "Everyone, the people of Wei are my confidants, and this time our army is not to help Qi State, but to save our own ......."

"Therefore, I hope that you will do your best to make this expedition a triumphant victory, so as to live up to the king's trust!"

Xiong Xian moved out all the monarchs, how could everyone be indifferent at this time, not to mention that Xiong Xian's words already made some sense.

As a result, one by one, the generals could only express their loyalty, and resolutely stated that they would fulfill the military orders of the monarch and drive the Wei people north of the river.

After bringing the necessary supplies, Xiong Xian took an army of 120,000 and quickly left Wangji under the cover of night and rushed to the direction of Qi.

In fact, at this time, the Wei army was attacking the state of Qi, and there were only a very small number of garrisons in the newly conquered land of Zheng.

If the Chu army directly attacked Zheng Di at this time, it would definitely have an impact on the Wei army in front, but it was difficult to say that it would make the Wei army come back to help.

Compared with the Qi State, the Zheng Land is not enough to worry about, if the Qi Land can be taken down, it is nothing to lose the relatively poor Zheng Land.

It was based on this that Xiong Xian vetoed the choice to enter Zhengdi, and instead directly led the army to the main force of the Wei army.

They had to hurry, because according to the latest intelligence, the Wei army was not far from Linzi, the capital of Qi.

A good deck of cards was played like this by Tian Yuwen, Xiong Xian was also very puzzled by this, he didn't know if the Wei people were too strong, or the Qi people were too weak.

But there is one thing that Xiong Xian and the generals are in agreement, they all believe that Qi Jun Tian Yuwen is not Wei Hou's opponent.
