"Now Chu Land has been completely controlled by Deng Yuanjue, Wu Shiqi is sitting in Shouchun, you know his ability, I am very curious how Chen Shaodong hid from him and secretly funded us for three years without being discovered?" Xiang Chu still didn't dare to fully trust this rich businessman in Shouchun, who had been secretly helping him.

"Then why don't we try him again, tell him that we are going to attack Xiakou, and let him directly transport the military rations to the vicinity of Xiakou next time, so that whether he is Deng Yuanjue's person or not, it will not affect our sneak attack on Zhoukou." Huang Guixuan thought of a way.

Xiang Yixi said: "This is a good way, if he is Deng Yuanjue's person, we can still catch Zhou Buzhou off guard, if not, it's a big deal I stopped Chen Shaodong halfway and told him that the plan has changed." ”

"Okay, according to what Mr. Huang said, Brother Yi, you go and send someone to inform Chen Shaodong." Xiang Chu thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.

After Chen Shaodong, who was far away in Shouchun, received Xiang Chu's letter, he turned around and rushed to the Wei Palace's mansion to report to Deng Wenhao.

Deng Wenhao was furious when he read the letter, and immediately decided to send troops to Xiakou to ambush Xiang Chu. Wu Shiqi on the side persuaded: "The general can't, if you want to send troops, you will expose Master Chen in advance, and the general will also point to him to take Xiang Chu." ”

"Then I just watched Xiang Chu sneak attack Xiakou and didn't care?" Deng Wenhao's tone was a little unkind.

In recent years, although Wu Shiqi has won Deng Yuanjue's trust with his own ability, Deng Wenhao still looks down on him for selling out for glory at critical moments.

Wu Shiqi didn't care, and asked rhetorically: "If the general is Xiang Chu, and you take 50,000 people to attack Xiakou, I don't know how sure you can take it?" ”

Deng Wenhao thought about it seriously: "There are 100,000 defenders in Xiakou, and Lei Zhengming is not incompetent, even if it is a sneak attack, it is almost impossible for 50,000 troops to capture Xiakou." ”

"In that case, then why did you go to Xiakou to set up an ambush?" Wu Shiqi asked again.

Deng Wenhao had no choice but to sit back: "I also have to send someone to inform Lei Zhengming, so that when the Chu army arrives, he will be defenseless." ”

"No, you don't." Wu Shiqi still dissuaded: "Xiang Chu is the general of the former Chu, general, you all know that it is impossible to succeed in the sneak attack on Xiakou, why did he attack Xiakou?" ”

"Does the military advisor mean that Xiang Chu is testing Chen Shaodong?" Deng Wenhao's tone was a little more respectful.

Wu Shiqi nodded: "Other than this, I really can't think of a reason why he wants to send troops." Whether he really wants to sneak attack Xiakou or wants to test Chen Shaodong, as long as we don't do anything and respond to all changes with the same, what tricks can Xiang Chu play? ”

Deng Wenhao calmed down and said to Chen Shaodong: "Then you can do what Xiang Chu said, don't worry about anything else." ”

More than a month has passed, and there is really no news in the direction of Xiakou, just when Deng Wenhao and Wu Shiqi both thought that Xiang Chu was deliberately bluffing and testing Chen Shaodong, a sergeant suddenly came to report, saying that Xiang Chu led 30,000 troops to attack Zhoukou City with the help of the people in the city.

Deng Wenhao was suddenly furious: "If he lost the city, he still had the face to come back, and he was directly dragged out and beheaded." ”

"Wait." It was Wu Shiqi who spoke: "Zhou Taishou is the cousin of General Zhou Yunjing, if you don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, he can't be killed." Besides, Zhoukou City was lost, and the responsibility could not be blamed entirely on him, even we thought that Xiang Chu's target was Chen Shaodong, how could we have thought that he would actually attack Zhoukou, and the top priority was to find a way to prevent him from continuing to march. ”

"Then for the sake of General Zhou's face, let's spare his life for the time being." Zhou Yunjing is now a celebrity next to Deng Yuanjue, and even Deng Wenhao can't help but give face.

"Pass my military order, let Lei Zhengming of Xiakou lead an army of 50,000 to attack Suizhou, and at the same time let Xing Kan and Wu Daocheng of Xuchang also lead an army of 50,000 to attack Zhoukou." Deng Wenhao gave two orders in a row.

Wu Shiqi sat next to him and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

"Strategist, what are you thinking?" Deng Wenhao asked curiously.

"I'm wondering why the Qi army in Xiangyang didn't take this opportunity to fight Suizhou?" Wu Shiqi replied.

Deng Wenhao has been by Deng Yuanjue's side for many years, and when he heard it, he reacted: "You mean that Xiang Chu is colluding with Qi Jun again?" Once I transfer Lei Zhengming, the Qi army will go to attack Xiakou? ”

"I don't rule out this possibility, after all, Xiang Chu also teamed up with Tian Wuji last time." Wu Shiqi pulled over the map on the table and said, "In addition to Xiangyang, Tian Wuheng also has a large army in Yicheng. ”

"I see, it seems that Xiang Chu is determined that I don't dare to fight Suizhou, so I will capture Zhoukou with such fanfare." Deng Wenhao said angrily.

"In addition to the fact that Xiakou's army can't be mobilized, Xuchang's Wu Daocheng can't be moved either, I'm worried that Kaifeng's Qi army will also take the opportunity to capture Xuchang, don't forget that Jiang Huanchu's deputy general Tian Kangyou is in Kaifeng." Wu Shiqi's gaze remained on the map.

"It's... How could Xiang Chu become so powerful, the back move is one move after another, if it weren't for the military advisor, I'm afraid I would have made a big mistake. Deng Wenhao now understands why his father reuses Wu Shiqi so much.

"This shouldn't be what Xiang Chu could think of, I'm afraid there is someone behind him to guide him." was also Chu Chen back then, how could Wu Shiqi not understand Xiang Chu.

"Hmph, Tian Wuji, he didn't think he was very powerful in a frontal battle, but he had a set of methods behind his back." Except for Tian Wuji, Deng Wenhao couldn't think of anyone else.

Wu Shiqi sighed: "No matter who is behind him, now the forces of Xiakou and Xuchang cannot be mobilized. Only the general himself will go to Yingchuan to garrison first, to prevent Xiang Chu from letting the Qi army behind him in, and you must not let him approach Shouchun again, and wait for the general to come back before making plans. ”

Deng Wenhao thought for a while: "Okay, I'll lead the army to Yingchuan, and Shouchun will be handed over to Mr." ”

With the rekindling of the war in Chudi, the Qin State was not idle. The army of the Tianluo Sect was inseparable from Wancan in Cangzhou, which made Yan Chixing in Puyang sad.

"Da Sima, Bai Mengqi is still in Sucheng, and he has no intention of going to Cangzhou." Since Yue Lin and Lei Di died at the hands of Deng Yuanjue, Yan Chixing transferred his two major disciples Ji Yun and Wu Changchen from the Divine Eagle Castle, and it was Ji Yun who spoke just now.

"Liuzhou City on the Yan side has been taken by the Qi army, I'm afraid that General Deng's plan to kill Yan will fall through, once he returns to Jingzhou, His Majesty will also transfer us back to Danyang, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come out again in the future." Wu Changchen knew Yan Chixing's entire plan, and said with some concern.

"It's hateful that Gao Kegong is really not angry, and he can't even take the little-known Wan Can, otherwise Bai Mengqi would definitely go to Cangzhou a long time ago." Ji Yun was also indignant.

Yan Chixing pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "Now, time does not allow us to wait any longer, and we will send troops to Liaocheng tomorrow." ”

In Sucheng, Emperor Feng Bomou received the battle report and was discussing with his ministers how to deal with it.

"As the general expected, the Tianluo Sect really colluded with the Song State, and now Yan Chixing is leading an army of 80,000 and besieging my Liaocheng, how do you plan to deal with it next?" Prime Minister Li Shirong asked.

Bai Mengqi was calm: "I have prepared an army of 100,000 for Yan Chixing, they will drive to Liaocheng one after another in the next few days, and I will also rush to Liaocheng in person tomorrow to meet this old friend for a while." ”

"General, after you leave, there will be no changes in Cangzhou, right?" Da Sima Liu Hongyu asked malicefully.

This Liu Hongyu is Feng Bomou's son-in-law, and he and Bai Mengqi are in charge of the military power of the Qin State. But Bai Mengqi's fame is so great that Liu Hongyu doesn't have much real power, so he always thinks about finding fault with Bai Mengqi on weekdays, and Feng Bomou is also happy that the two don't get along.

Bai Mengqi smiled slightly: "Everyone knows how much Gao Kegong has ability, although he is the general of the former Chu Zhengnan, but he has never won a decent battle, this time the Tianluo Sect sent him to invade my Cangzhou, it can be seen that there is really no one available in the sect, is Da Sima even afraid of such a person?" ”

Liu Hongyu smiled awkwardly: "I hope it's the same as what the general said." ”

"Good news, Yan Chixing finally couldn't sit still, he had just arrived in Liaocheng with 80,000 troops, and Bai Mengqi's 100,000 army had arrived, and they had to fight this time." Yang Yi received the battle report and reported to everyone happily.

"General, the last general will ask you to fight and attack Cangzhou again." After listening to Yang Yi's words, Gao Kegong also swept away the haze, he has been ridiculed by Wan Can a lot in the past few months, and now he finally has the opportunity to take a bad breath.

Shi Luosheng laughed: "It's okay to fight, but you must lead Wan Can away, I want to take Cangzhou City in one battle." ”

"The last general commands." Gao Kegong clenched his fist fiercely.

"Yo, why are you here again, the general of the defeated army, how many times have you lost this, if I had you dug a hole in the ground and got in, I would never have been embarrassed to come out to meet people again. Oh, I see, you don't dare to withdraw your troops, because you are afraid that you will be punished by your sect leader when you go back, right? When Wan Can saw Gao Kegong, he was sneering again.

Gao Kegong was not angry this time, and said coldly: "I hope you can be so happy later." ”

Wan Can didn't think there was any difference in Gao Kegong today: "Every time you say cruel things, don't run away later." After speaking, he raised his spear and rushed towards Gao Kegong.

The two fought together again, and this time the result was still the same, the two fought for more than 30 rounds, Gao Kegong sold a flaw, turned the horse's head and was about to escape.

Wan Can laughed: "I knew you were going to escape, the soldiers chased me, and I must not let him run away today." ”

Gao Kegong did not flee back to his main formation this time, but fled towards a small forest in front of him.

Wan Can didn't doubt that he had him, and chased him out first, regardless of whether the Qin army behind him followed or not.

After running for about a stick of incense, Wan Can saw Gao Kegong suddenly hold the reins, turn the horse's head, and look at him like a dead man: "Dog thief, you see that the burial place I chose for you is not bad, right?" ”
