The sky was faint and the air was fresh, and in the Zhao Jun camp, Tanma put the latest information on Han Ju's several cases.

"Could it be that that old boy Tian Shu really decided to fight me to the death in the new city?" Han Ju twisted his beard and said proudly.

"According to the news from Tanma, Tian Qi has withdrawn all his troops to the new city, and all the Qi cities in between are no longer garrisoned, and our army can go and take it lightly." Zhao Xu looked at the news of Tanma and summarized it to Han Ju.

After defeating the Qi army that day, he looked at the map and found that since Pingyi, except for Xincheng, there was no other city suitable for a decisive battle.

"It seems that the Qi army has been forced to retreat to a situation where there is no place to defend, otherwise, it will not retreat directly to the new city to wait for help, I think, tomorrow will be a big battle after all." Han Ju listened to the latest battle report and said proudly.

"It seems that this is indeed the case, the Qi people retreated all the way from the city of Pingyi, and each time they were short-handed, and then they were defeated, which shows that they have committed the old problem of sparseness at the critical moment." Zhao Shu also said happily. If the current situation is followed, maybe it can really realize the idea that Han Ju originally depicted, and the horse stepped on Linzi.

"Well, you can't jump to conclusions. Tian Shu is a cunning man, but don't fall for his scheme. Pass my order, all the horses, set off immediately, give me a clear understanding of the surrounding environment, don't fall into the ambush of the Qi army. ”

"Honorable Order." Zhao was ordered, "But tomorrow, when should we leave?" ”

Han Ju thought for a while and said slowly, "Tomorrow will be a fierce battle, let everyone give me enough spirits, early tomorrow morning, set off early, let's go to the new city first, and frustrate the spirit of the Qi army." ”

"Yes."

On the new city of Qi State, Tian Wei also frowned, holding an oil lamp, looking at the map in front of him, and knocked heavily on the map. The lieutenant general beside him saw that his lord was acting strangely, so he asked, "Your Excellency has already chosen the location for the decisive battle?" ”

"Of course, I expect that the Zhao army will inevitably be defeated here." Tian Shu pointed to a ground on the map and said to the person beside him.

"Wangxian?"

"Yes." Tian Shu said, revealing a mysterious look.

"Isn't the general planning to bring the Zhao army under the new city, and then gather and annihilate it?"

"Hahahaha, no, no. The new city is built by relying on the topography of this place, the siege is still short, the city wall is low, and it has not had time to reinforce, so it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is not a place to use soldiers. However, if it is abandoned, it will lead to the road to Linzi, a flat river. You and I will be guilty of greatness. ”

"In that case, why did the general still lead the snake out of the hole and bring Han Ju to this city, wouldn't this cause Linzi, the capital of Qi State, to directly face the troops of Zhao State? It's not appropriate. He shook his head again and again, thinking that Tian Qi must be crazy.

"You don't know. Han Ju is the most suspicious, if I hadn't been in close contact with him along the way, he would have thought he had been prepared. "But I was defeated by him all the way, and then hoarded heavy troops in Xincheng, just to make him have the illusion that I was scheduled to fight a decisive battle here." But in fact, I will swing the ecstasy array in Wangxian and lure him into the urn. ”

"I see!"

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Jun got up early to cook, the soldiers were full of spirits, after Han Ju made a brief speech, Zhao Jun's chariot was in front, among the foot soldiers, forming two columns, along the road to the new city. However, as he walked, Han Ju found that his team was moving more and more slowly. He urged the horses a few times, walked to a relatively high position, and looked out. Not far ahead, I saw a small mound, during which the mountain road was longitudinal and horizontal, the path was cumbersome, although it was not very high, but there were still some trees, and in some places, even two chariots could not be lined up, so they had to walk one by one. A faint sense of foreboding welled up in my heart. "This is not a place to use soldiers." He said silently in his heart.

"General, what's wrong?" Zhao Shu came from the back of the team, looked at Han Ju and frowned, and came over to ask.

"Is this the place that leads to the new city?" Han Ju asked thoughtlessly.

"This place belongs to Sancho Wangxian County, and you must pass through this place to get to the new city." Zhao said. "Although it seems that the mountain road is steep, there are very few such sections, and we have no problem passing through them quickly."

"I hope so." Han Ju said with some concern.

Who knew that before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of killing in front of him. Han Ju's heart tightened, could it be that there was an enemy army in front of him? was hesitating, and the front came to report: "There are more than 1,000 Qi army foot soldiers in front, and when our army is on the way, we will fight, and the other party has led the remnants of the defeated army and fled to the new city." ”

When Han Ju heard this, he laughed, "This must be Tian Ju's suspicious plan." He was bluffing, and I expected that there would be no reinforcements in the new city this time. Then he called the heralds, urged the war drums, and asked the Zhao army to speed up. Han Ju himself also urged the horse to hurry, and after a while, he arrived at the place where the two armies had fought just now.

This is a typical pass, like a hard passage carved out of the hard mountain. The path is not wide, only two cars can pass, and there is no space at all.

Han Ju walked to the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned, and walked around, a big doubt surged in his heart, and the whole person stood there, thinking for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, his whole body trembled. Out of nowhere, he surged and yelled "Retreat!" Hurry up and retreat! ”

Now, however, the entire road is so full that there is no room for turnaround. The foot soldiers are easy to say, but the chariot soldiers in front can only move forward, and the retreat must be turned. If you want to turn, it's easier said than done!

But Han Ju seemed to be crazy, shouting and whipping the soldiers around him, telling them to quickly turn around and leave here. The soldiers all looked at their commander dumbfounded, why did they see the traces of the battle just now, as if they were crazy, could it be that they were caught by the revenant soul of the Qi army?

At the moment when everyone was puzzled, the entire mountain seemed to change, and there was a rumbling sound, like thunder. The soldiers of the Zhao army were startled by this strange noise, and they raised their heads one after another, but they saw the scene they didn't want to see: huge stones falling from the sky!

The sudden change occurred, and the entire Zhao army team panicked, and they couldn't think of dodging at all, and they were smashed by the "stone rain" that fell from the sky. By the time the others reacted, the surrounding comrades had been stoned beyond recognition, and blood was dripping with blood.

"Hurry up against the rock wall! Hurry up! As if he expected this to happen, Han Ju shouted loudly at the soldiers on the entire trail. When the others heard this, they didn't dare to slack off this time, stood up, and leaned their bodies against the rock wall.

Since the stone is rolled down the hillside, the lower the rock mass on both sides, the steeper the slope becomes, and before the stone reaches the bottom, it is reoriented by the protruding part of the rock mass and falls straight to the middle. Finally, the panic caused by the "stone rain" can be temporarily dissipated for a while.

There was a rain of stones on the path, and the troops that had not yet entered did not stop. After Zhao Shu heard that the front army was ambushed in the rear, his first thought was to turn around and turn around. Because Zhao Jun's queue is in front of the car and behind the step, most of his team are foot soldiers, and the overall steering space is much larger, and the circle is very fast.

However, before he left, he found that the Qi army chariot that had been waiting for him appeared inexplicably. And standing behind the battlecar was Tian Wei, the general of the Qi State who they thought was still in the new city.

Tian Ju lost several cities to Han Ju, but Han Ju lost the entire battle to Tian Ju. It can be seen that Sun Tzu said: "Soldiers, treacherous ways." That's true.

When the news of Han Ju's defeat reached Pingyi City, Pang Cong, who was defending the city, knew that the general trend had gone, and if he went to defend Pingyi at this moment, what he brought to Zhao would be the loss of the entire Gaotang Dynasty, which meant the failure of the eastward expansion policy of the entire Zhao State. He abandoned Pingyi, took all the Zhao soldiers, and reported to Handan while going to Gaotang in the north.
