"Play, look at the guy over there." Pang Xuan rode on his horse and pointed to the hill on the right side of the marching procession, and said to a man in shabby clothes. This man was wearing a hat, his whole face was hidden in the hat, and he couldn't see clearly, he was lying on the hillside, looking at his legs, and behaving quite strangely.

"I guess I'm just a farmer." Ju Xin thought for a while and said.

"Something doesn't seem right." Pang Xuan said, "When the farmer saw us, why didn't he hide? Didn't seem to be afraid of us. ”

Ji Xin laughed and couldn't help but say, "You are really rare and weird." It's just a war, it's not surprising to see a lot, but now that the war has been going on for many years, marching and fighting is not new, the farmers naturally won't appreciate you as a spectacle. ”

"Oh." Pang Xuan scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.

Ji Xin pulled the reins and continued to the little brother, "Although this is your first time on the battlefield, our Baijin Battalion is the descendant of the king, but the elite is coming, you don't want to go wrong again." ”

Speaking of the life of Pang Xuan's Baijin Camp, it is really ridiculous. The son of this huge general not only hid his identity, but also strictly abided by the rules of the barracks in order to mingle with the veterans in the barracks, and easily did not go home, provoking the age of marriage, Mrs. Pang reluctantly rejected waves of suitors, and hoped that Pang Cong could let Pang Xuan get married as soon as possible and make meritorious deeds.

On the one hand, it is Zhao Yong's intention to let Pang Yuan go to the Baijin Camp, and it is difficult to disobey the king's fate, on the other hand, Pang Yuan himself also likes the life in the military camp and does not want to get married as soon as possible, which is quite helpless, so he let it go.

When Pang Xuan first arrived at the Baijin Camp, he was bullied by the veterans, and all the dirty work was contracted, no way, the Baijin Camp is a place where strength speaks, and the soldiers here all have titles, and their titles are also earned by desperately working on the battlefield. And Pang Xuan has just arrived, although he also has the title he earned when he was a child with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, but he is not looked down upon here. can only be honestly become a gas bag with another little brother drama Xin.

In the past few years, Pang Xuan has not stopped learning survival skills on the battlefield, but the gap between theory and actual combat is very obvious, many veterans look at his immature appearance, if it weren't for the strict discipline of the Baijin Battalion, they all began to suspect that he came in through the back door. In the barracks, Pang Cong watched his son gradually grow up from a young man who did not know the world, and he was also very happy in his heart, and began to pray a little, hoping that he could go into battle as soon as possible to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. However, he never said these words when facing Pang Xuan, always with a serious expression, not smiling, and the two of them met in the military camp according to etiquette.

Three days ago, the Baijin Battalion received an order to lead 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry soldiers led by Captain Yan Zhou to rush to the aid of Hangu Pass. Pang Xuan and Ju Xin were fortunate to be selected and joined the expeditionary force. Before coming, Pang Yuan and Ji Xin stayed awake all night excitedly, looking forward to what they were thinking about was how to go into battle to kill the enemy, and let the gang of soldiers and oilmen see their own skills.

As soon as the army arrived in Xiuyu and was about to cross the river, it received an order from Hangu Pass, and the army no longer crossed the river, but marched west to Wenyi to garrison. After confirming that the order was correct, Captain Yan Zhou ordered the army to start marching towards Wenyi after repairing the fish for a day.

"You say, why did General Pang order us not to cross the river, but to build a ferry here?" As soon as they arrived at the Wenyi station, Ju Xin and Pang Xuan had not rested, and they were ordered to urgently march to Yeban to repair the ferry.

Ju Xin said as he laid out the plank, "What else can I do?" It must be to prevent the Qin army from going north and prevent them from landing from here. ”

Pang Xuan nodded, continued to beat the stake, and soon said, "Why do you want to prevent the Qin army from going north?" ”

"You're not right." Ju Xin retorted, "Do you want to let the Qin army go north and enter the territory of Han and Wei?" How could Korea and Wei give up. The meaning of a certain general is to prevent the Qin army from going further east and block their way north. ”

"If that's the case, isn't that weird?" Pang Xuan put down his tools, walked to Ji Xin's side, and said, "In any case, if the Qin army goes north, it will definitely be a dangerous move. Now that he had insight into the Qin army's possible intention to move north, why didn't the general just plan and lure the Qin army north, and then force the Qin army to fight a decisive battle with the main force? Wouldn't this be more able to destroy the Qin army? ”

Pang Xuan's words attracted the attention of Ju Xin, indeed, if it is according to what Pang Xuan said, stationing from Wenyi is a defensive mentality, which is to block the possibility of the Qin army going north; However, if the Qin army was lured to the east, a battle would be launched in the open area of Xiuyu, and then the retreat of the Qin army would be cut off, and the Qin army going north would inevitably fail. With such a clever step, why would the general not be clear?

"Perhaps, there is a problem we don't know." Juxin replied.

"Maybe." Pang Xuan reluctantly accepted this explanation and returned to his position to continue working, but looking at the vast river, his heart was already filled with suspicion, and he had not calmed down for a long time. For Le Yi and Pang Cong, he knew very well that there would definitely be no problems that he had discovered, but the two of them had not been aware of, there must be some reason for them to have to make such a deployment.

So, what is the reason?

Zhu Lijian put the map on a few cases, and on the bamboo slips next to him, the eight words "Wenyi has changed, repair the ferry" were like a lightning bolt, and he crossed in front of him, and he turned the bamboo slips over and over, but his mind was not here at all.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, and Gongzihua stood outside the door and said happily: "The king has agreed that we will lead our army north to attack Wenyi, Huaizhou, Xiuyu and other places, increase the pressure on the allied army repaired in Yiyang, and relieve the battle situation in Hangu Pass. It seems that our preparations in the past few days have not been in vain. ”

Zhu Lijian nodded, and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Gongzihua, "The situation has changed." ”

Gongzi Hua took the bamboo slip suspiciously, was taken aback, and when he looked at Zhu Liji, the latter picked up the map and studied it again, "What does this mean by the coalition forces?" Do you want to stay the course? ”

"It seems to be more than that." "Repairing Yesaka is not a big problem for our army, and our initial landing location is Fenglingdu, not Yesaka. If it landed at Yesaka, the army must fight quickly and occupy Wenyi quickly, although such a surprise attack is more effective, but it is also more risky, because when this plan was formulated, a certain did not choose to be in Yesaka. ”

Gongzihua nodded.

"The suspicion of this matter lies in the fact that after the other party learned that our army would go north, he did not choose to plan and lure our army into a decisive battle, but blatantly repaired the city ferry, forcing our army to honestly cross the river from Fengling and cross Quwo and enter Wenyi. With a clear appearance of stubborn defense, does the commander of the other party think that if we put our plan out, the Qin army will not dare to go north? Or rather, would he dare to bet on this game? ”

"You mean that the other side did not do this to meet the attack of our army, but to let our army retreat in the face of difficulties?" Gongzihua tried to refine the core idea of Zhu Liji's speech.

"Not bad." "He meant to intimidate us so that we wouldn't dare to move." And if the other party does this, it is impossible to attack Hangu Pass, that is, to defend it to the death, hold on with our army, and see who is dragged down first. Hey, really good plan. ”

Gongzi Hua said worriedly: "The other party is the five-nation alliance, after all, our army is weak, I am afraid that it will not benefit me if we continue to hold on." ”

"That's where I'm confused. He said, "It's not a good thing for the Qin State to hold on, but it must be good for the Six-Nation Alliance?" Gongsun Yan confronted us in front of Hangu Pass for more than half a year, and it was definitely not a good thing for him to continue the confrontation. Previously, I heard that the king of Wei ordered that if Gongsun Yan could not capture Hangu Pass within two months, he would be removed from his position as minister. Now that two months are coming, the coalition forces have put on such a formation, which is really incredible. ”

"Could it be that Gongsun Yan has regained the favor of King Wei again?" Gongzihua knew that Zhu Li was known as a think tank, and what he said must have been carefully considered, but he did not refute his thoughts about Zhu Li Ji.

Zhu Li thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that the military deployment of this matter is not like Gongsun Yan took the lead. With his character, such a hesitant arrangement would not have appeared, and someone else must have taken the command on his behalf. ”

"Someone else commanding? Who in the coalition could be more prestigious and qualified to command? Even if there were, others wouldn't necessarily listen? ”

"I don't know who it is, but this person's intention is to warn us not to go north. From another point of view, it is that this person obviously has a strategy to break the enemy but does not use it, which shows that he himself is against a decisive battle with our Qin State, but hopes to maintain this defensive state, and it is best for the two sides to hold on. O master! Killing two birds with one stone, he not only hid his intentions, both the coalition forces and our Qin State knew what his purpose was, and also fulfilled the requirements of the coalition forces of various countries to remain undefeated. In this regard, this person is by no means a thing in the pool, and he will definitely become a big problem for the Qin State one day. ”

Gongzihua thought about it, and still asked, "Then we, do we still want to cross the river to the north?" ”

He wandered around the room again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "Continue north, I want to see what kind of conspiracy this general has." ”
