"General, it seems that the people of the Qin State are about to catch up with us."

"Don't be too happy, they have set a trap on the bank of the Yellow River, how can they admit defeat so easily."

The wound on the armor was still gurgling and bleeding, clearly showing marks of a blade cut. This is definitely a big deal for Kuang Zhang, who advocates commanding operations rather than going into battle himself, and if he hadn't reached a desperate situation, he probably wouldn't have gone into battle to kill the enemy in person.

"Where did General Ozuko go?"

"Back to General Yu, General Shengzi has already led the troops, left first, and went to the direction of jujube cooking."

"Shaft!" Kuang Zhang scolded fiercely, "In the first battle, I was afraid of the head and tail, the attack was slow, and this slippery beard ran away, and it was very fast." If it weren't for the nobles of the clan, he would have been executed in accordance with military law! ”

It's no wonder that Kuang Zhang is so angry, it's really Shengzi who should be killed.

It is said that after the Qi and Song coalition forces captured Zaojiao, they began to march to Jiyang, setting up a position on the north bank of the Yellow River and threatening Daliang. At this time, the main force of the Wei army was still near Yongshi City, and it was impossible to return to help immediately, so the king of Wei hurriedly recruited troops temporarily, on the one hand, to defend the Great Liang, and on the other hand, to lay a defensive line on the south bank of the Yellow River to prevent the Qi and Song coalition forces from crossing the river.

It was at this time that the two coalition forces disagreed on whether to cross the river. The people of the Song Dynasty thought that since they had arrived in Jiyang, they should take advantage of the absence of the main force of the Wei army to urgently cross the river to attack Daliang, and with the strength of the coalition army, it was entirely possible to attack Daliang.

Song Jun had this idea, and Kuang Zhang was not surprised. Before the Qi and Song dynasties attacked the Yan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom was not able to fight, so that within fifty days, the Yan Kingdom was destroyed. The situation of Wei State now is similar to that of Yan State back then, the main force is not there, and there are stragglers all around, which is not worth a battle. What's more, now that the coalition forces have arrived in Jiyang, as long as they cross the Yellow River, Daliang is in front of them. Now that the coalition forces are in full swing, it is easy to capture the main beam.

Kuang Zhang scoffed at the ideas of the Song people. Not to mention whether the coalition forces of the two countries can occupy Daliang before the main force of the Wei army returns to help, and not to say that the tired soldiers will be surrounded and annihilated by reinforcements when they are unable to fight for a long time, just to say that after the coalition forces occupy Daliang, will the Song State be kind enough to hand over the thistle to the Qi people to manage like the last attack on Yan State? Song Wangyan is not a good person! His ambitions are clear.

From the perspective of the Qi State, it is best to defend in Jiyang, the junction of Pushui and the Yellow River, one is to control the upper reaches of Pushui, like a wedge wedged into the junction of Wei, Zhao and Wei, posing a threat to the three parties; On the other hand, they can also penetrate their forces deep into the north bank of the Yellow River and divide the sphere of influence of the Song State, which can not only prevent the Wei State from breaking through, but also prevent the Song State from counterattacking.

Of course, this kind of thinking caused Song Guo's dissatisfaction, if so, wouldn't Song Guo have to work in vain again this time? The Song lord repeatedly exerted pressure on Kuang Zhang, and even threatened that if the Qi State did not dare to cross the river, the Song State would cross the river to attack Daliang, and then the Qi State must withdraw from the territory of the Wei State that had been occupied, otherwise the alliance between the two countries would break down.

That's it, but this voice, I don't know what evil I have fallen into, but I actually support Song Jun's opinion. This made Kuang Zhang very angry, and he was thinking about his own people, but in the end he was opposed by his own people, which was ridiculously tight. Things have developed to this point, Kuang Zhang can only report to Linzi. In the Battle of Sanqiu that year, Kuang Zhang withstood the pressure, refused everyone's requests, took advantage of the Qin army's psychology that he couldn't retreat and couldn't advance, and calmed down to dismantle each other with the Qin army, and finally broke the Qin army and became famous in the first battle. Today's situation is similar to that of the past, but King Qi Wei is no longer there, how will King Qi choose now?

The answer was soon revealed with a letterhead from Linzi, and the letter was none other than Su Qin, who had already developed a sympathy for Kuang Zhang. At that time, Kuang Zhang was afraid that his ideas would not be supported, so he had to ask Su Qin for help at the same time, hoping that Su Qin could support him and help him in front of the King of Qi.

Su Qin's letter was concise and to the point, saying that King Qi had already agreed with Kuang Zhang's idea, but at the last moment, after Tian Pan entered the palace to meet King Qi, King Qi changed his mind. Although I don't know what kind of rhetoric Tian Pan made, judging from the meaning revealed by the King of Qi afterwards, he was worried that after the Qi-Song alliance broke down, once Yan and Zhao joined forces to attack Qi, the Song State would take advantage of the fire to rob, and in order to preserve the overall situation, they could only compromise.

Kuang Zhang suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, Tian Pan's idea was naturally right, if he had known that this was the case, why did he form an alliance with the Song State in the first place? The heart of the tiger and wolf of the King of Song is well known to passers-by, and conspiring with this person is not a conspiration with the tiger?

At this point, Kuang Zhang no longer insisted, so he could only plan carefully. In order to ensure safety, Kuang Zhang divided the coalition army into three routes, and the main force of the coalition army in the middle was responsible for crossing the river, and attacked the Wei troops guarding the Yellow River head-on; The army on the right was led by himself to prevent the Wei army from the upper reaches of the Yellow River from interfering with the river crossing operation, and at the same time assisting the main force crossing the river in the middle to attract the attention of the other side; The army on the left was led by Shengzi to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the troops crossing the river from downstream.

Although he knew that Kuang Zhang's arrangement was completely for the Song people to be cannon fodder, the Song people no longer cared about it, and happily accepted this arrangement, preparing to cross the river at night to reduce casualties as much as possible.

It was night, Kuang Zhang was commanding the Qi and Song coalition troops to cross the river to the south, but from behind the formation came a rush of drums, Kuang Zhang was shocked when he heard the sound, knowing that it was the enemy attacking, so he no longer hesitated, on the one hand, he personally led the rear army to block the attack, covering the retreat of the army, and on the other hand, he notified the other two armies to retreat quickly and no longer cross the river.

The two armies fought, and Kuang Zhang knew that the attacking troops were actually from Qin, which made Kuang Zhang shocked, but he didn't expect that the Qin army came all the way here in order to help Wei, which also shows from another side that the main force of Wei may have returned, and the Qi and Song coalition forces will face the joint strangulation of Qin and Wei. If it continues, it is difficult to predict the outcome or outcome.

Although he was also full of exhaustion, he didn't care about the continuous march and immediately attacked the army. The vanguard general Bai Qi, like a madman, led his army into the enemy formation and rushed to kill. The Qi army responded to the battle in a hurry, and it was not as powerful as the Qin army that marched continuously, which shows that "the soldier is the courage of the general, and the general is the might of the soldier", which is not a lie.

With the insight of the disease, he naturally knows that the tired army fights, and if he is not careful, he will easily be defeated. However, the fatigue of the Qin army has reached the limit, if it is repaired first and then fighting, it is not only easy to be annihilated by the opponent in one go, but also has the hidden worry of losing momentum and recovering for a long time. As a result of the situation, the army can only take risks. It was also thanks to the vanguard that Bai Qi was a ruthless man, which caused the battle to be thrilling and dangerous, forcing the Qi army to retreat one after another, and the main general Kuang Zhang was also wounded.

Seeing that the Qi army was defeated and retreating, he hurriedly recalled Bai Qi.

"General, please give an order to order a certain to lead the main force and pursue the Qi army." Bai Qi still looks like he is in a hurry, obviously this kind of hearty battle is what he is pursuing, so that he seems to be unaware of fatigue.

"The chase is to be chased, but I want to ask you, what is the purpose of your pursuit?" He looked like he was there.

"The purpose? Naturally, the Qi army was annihilated. ”

"No!" Zhu Liji's eyes were cold and said, "You are only chasing behind, and you must not attack!" ”

"Why is that?" Bai Qi's stubbornness came up again, and he was directly dissatisfied with the arrangement of the disease.

"What do you think?"

"Me?" Bai Qi pointed to himself and looked at Zhu Liji, who nodded, obviously wanting to test this future general. Bai Qi also understood the thoughts of the disease, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood the mystery, but his eyes also darkened: "In this way, it will be cheaper for the people of Qi for nothing." ”

"If you want to be defeated, you will be helped; If you want to take it, you will take it. You have to think carefully about this samadhi between giving and taking, and it will definitely be deeply beneficial. ”

"Yes."

In this way, Kuang Zhang led the Qi army to flee to the east, and Bai Qi led the Qin army to chase behind. Neither country is a cavalry unit, so the march is not fast. Fortunately, Qin Jun is a tired army, but he is forcing himself to catch up with him with a breath, and his spirit is commendable, but his body is already disobedient. The Qi army is not much better, after all, it is a defeated army, and the morale is at a low level, if the army returns to attack the Qin army at this time, I am afraid that the victory or defeat will be unpredictable. However, the further he ran east, the more Kuang Zhang felt that it seemed that the Qin army did it on purpose. His keen sense of war had helped him win various battles, and he still smelled of conspiracy.

"Someone!"

"General!"

"Pass my order, the rear army will covertly block the Qin army in the front woods, and the army will turn to the northeast from the front woods and will no longer go south."

The adjutant general beside him was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "General, if our army turns to the northeast, it will go to Puyang in Wei State." Jujube boiling is in the south, and the Song army and General Shengzi are moving towards jujube boiling, isn't it dangerous to divide troops at this time? ”

"Hurry up with power. The Qin army is in hot pursuit, if he marches to the jujube boil again at this moment, I am afraid that the jujube boil will be in danger. Since the other party is going to pursue us, if we take them in circles, at worst, we can return to Qi from the Wei Kingdom, so that the whole army will not be wiped out. ”

"That's... That date is boiled over there..."

"We should believe the son." Kuang Zhang's eyes were indifferent, and his tone didn't have much emotion: "The jujube is boiled in his hands, it must be safe." ”

"Yes." The deputy general saw Kuang Zhang's expression, although he knew that there were many debatable points here, but he could only obey the order.

Kuang Zhang looked at the figure of the deputy general retreating, and said with a sneer: "Shengzi, it's not that you don't want to save you, but that you can't protect yourself." What's more, you have ignored my authority several times, and at this moment, you will be punished slightly, may you be auspicious. ”

Bai Qi's army chased to the woods and encountered the rear army of the Qi army, although it finally won the victory, but it also exhausted the last breath of the Qin army, and no longer had the strength to chase the Qi army. He sat on his horse and watched the Qi army not go south, but turned to the northeast, and a burst of realization rose in his heart, perhaps the generals of the Qi army saw through their intention to drive them out of the jujube boil, and fled to the northeast with a clear heart.

I did this because the main force of the Wei army had already crossed the river from the lower reaches of the Yellow River one step first, and ambushed near the Zaozhuo, only waiting for the Qi and Song coalition forces to arrive at Zaozhuo, and then gather and annihilate it. If this group of troops runs over again, I am afraid that it will be a failure. It was the disease that only allowed him to drive them behind and no longer pursue.

"Could it be that this person has already understood our intentions?" Bai Qi thought about it, and in the end, he was still worried that this Qi army would turn south again, and decided to continue to follow them to see what tricks they played.

As for the jujube cooking, victory is already in hand.
