On the third day of the fourth month, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led 40,000 merchant and naval troops, 3,000 iron eagle cavalry, and 5,000 black-faced troops to arrive at Chenliu.

At that time, Zhao Yuantong, King of Yu, and Zhao Hongxuan, King of Huan, led the First Army of the North, after the Battle of Yongqiu, they were stationed in Chenliu, and learned that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led nearly 50,000 troops to support, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, were quite happy.

You must know that the current confrontation between the Wei army and the Chu army on the Yongqiu battlefield was originally the Wei army having the upper hand, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the behemoth of the "million Chu army" Chu army, even after suffering a few defeats, still had an absolute advantage in strength, so that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, did not dare to be greedy for merit, lest he would be seen by Shouling Jun Jingshe and seize the opportunity to regain the disadvantage.

And now, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led nearly 50,000 troops to help, which gave Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, enough confidence to launch the final battle against the Chu army.

On the same day, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, personally went out of the city to welcome Zhao Hongrun, Qin Shaojun, Yangquan Jun Yingyi and others to the city, and set up a banquet for them to receive the wind.

During this period, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, couldn't help but boast to his brother about his exploits in the Northern First Army, even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he was a little surprised after hearing it.

After all, in Zhao Hongrun's impression, even if he overestimated the Northern First Army, the latter was just a second-rate army, and its combat effectiveness might not be much stronger than the county soldiers of Wei, but he didn't expect that in the "Battle of Yongqiu" a few days ago, the Northern First Army was attacked on three sides by several Chu armies such as the "Juyang Army", "Yanyang Army", "Liyang Army", and "Peng Li's Army", but instead of being defeated, they resisted the pressure and assisted Ma You's Youma Army to inflict heavy losses on the Chu Army, which really impressed him.

In addition to boasting about the Northern First Army under his command, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, did not forget to praise the fifth uncle of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and said that the latter seemed to be a wise man who had no last resort, and in the end, even Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, couldn't listen to it, and shook his head with a wry smile and interrupted Zhao Hongxuan's words.

It is no wonder that in this Great Patriotic War, Zhao Hongrun's exploits will not be inferior to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, after all, Zhao Hongrun almost single-handedly forced the Qin State to ally with the Wei State - of course, due to the presence of Qin Shaojun and Yangquan Jun Yingyi, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, did not mention this matter very interestingly.

After the third round of drinking, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, asked Zhao Hongrun: "Hongrun, how is the battle situation on the side of the king of Nanliang?" ”

Listening to Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, call "the king of Southern Liang, not the third brother", Zhao Hongrun knew that the relationship between the fifth uncle and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was really bad, so he said without hesitation: "Zhao Yuanzuo secretly ordered General Jiang to attack Taiyuan, Yanmen, Daijun and other places in South Korea, leading Lin Hu and the Xiongnu to invade South Korea. ”

"......" Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although he has not had a good relationship with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, since he was a child, he still recognizes the talent of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, because he has no doubt that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, can withstand the attack of the Korean army, but he did not expect that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, would use such a vicious strategy.

But if you think about it carefully, at that time, the Wei State was facing its demise, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, used this vicious strategy to force back Korea and save the Wei people, at least the Wei people would not despise him because of this - of course, it is unknown how the people of the world will evaluate this matter in the future.

"Looks like I lost."

King Yu Zhao Yuantong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, who was extremely disgusted with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, hurriedly persuaded when he heard this: "Fifth uncle, Zhao Yuanzuo is just counterattacking the Korean army and recovering the lost territory, and he has not yet won the victory, and our side only needs to work harder, and it will definitely catch up." ”

Zhao Yuan, the king of Yu, smiled and did not speak.

His original bet with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was only a bet on who would solve the enemy threat on their respective sides first, and at this point, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was obviously much faster than him.

Therefore, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, did lose.

But he doesn't care, if he loses, it's not a big deal.

What's more, from another point of view, he used the way of agitation to make Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, finally show his real skills, so that Wei resolved the threat of the collapse of the country, in fact, he is the winner.

Seeing that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, smiled and did not speak, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, was not interested in continuing the war of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, he changed the topic and said: "Fifth uncle, now that we have the support of my brother's 50,000 soldiers, we can launch a general attack on the Chu army, right?" ”

Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun and asked, "Hongrun, do your soldiers need to rest for a few days?" ”

"It's been rested outside the city of Daliang." Zhao Hongrun explained briefly, and then asked, "However, what is the situation of the Chu army now?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, explained to Zhao Hongrun the current situation of the Chu army, and when he learned that under the repeated harassment and attack of the Wei army, the morale of the Chu army was generally low, Zhao Hongrun was secretly surprised: 200,000 Wei troops on the battlefield of Song and Di can beat the Chu army, which is known as one million, to the point of "no morale", which is really not simple.

“…… However, it is still not to be careless. ”

It may be that seeing that Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan looked relaxed, as if they did not take the Chu army at this moment in their eyes, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, couldn't help but admonish: "At present, there are still at least 500,000 troops under the command of Shouling Jun Jingshe, although I also want to defeat the Chu army in one go, but this matter still needs to be cautious...... Shouling Junjingshe is by no means a good person. ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled and nodded.

Shouling Jun Jingshe, that was the opponent that he Zhao Hongrun had not defeated during the Battle of the Four Kingdoms of Qilu and Wei Yue to attack Chu, how could he underestimate the enemy?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Does the fifth uncle have any strategy?" ”

I saw that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, glanced at Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals of the Shang and Shui Army at the banquet, and suddenly asked them: "How many generals, can you know the song of Chudi?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun thought slightly, stroked his palm and said, "Good plan!" ”

Yu King Zhao Yuantong glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and he was not surprised in his heart, after all, Su Wen This nephew is very clever and has frequent clever plans on the battlefield, how could he not guess what he is thinking.

At this time, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others also came to their senses one after another, and nodded their heads to indicate that they would sing Chudi's folk songs.

Think about it, Shang Shuijun was originally from Chu, how could he not sing the songs of Chu?

After getting the affirmation of Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals of the Shang and Water Army, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "Without further ado, take action tonight." ”

After the decision was made, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, handed over this matter to Zhao Hongrun, after all, in recent days, he has worked hard for the war, in fact, he has long been unable to support it, since there is now Zhao Hongrun, an excellent commander, of course, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, is willing to hand over the command to the latter, after all, he is different from Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and has no ambition for power, status and other matters.

That night, Zhao Hongrun personally led more than 40,000 merchant and water troops to discredit the Yongqiu area, and let more than 40,000 merchant and water troops go to the Chu army camp in the Yongqiu area, singing the homesick song of Chu State loudly.

At this time, in the Chu army camp in the Yongqiu area, which stretched for dozens of miles, most of the soldiers and generals of the Chu State had not stopped due to the endless harassment and attack of the Wei army in recent days.

Listening to the bleak Chu song, the hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers in the Yongqiu Chu army camp couldn't help but start thinking about their relatives, and even some people hummed along.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, Shouling Jun Jingshe, was resting in the tent, and suddenly heard a burst of miserable and desolate Chu songs sounding in the camp, and couldn't help frowning, called the guards outside the tent, and ordered: "Go and check, which camp is this song coming from." ”

"Yes!" The guards took the order and left.

After about a stick of incense, the guard went and returned, and said, "Lord Jingshe, this song is suspected to have come from the northwest outside the camp. ”

Shouling Jun Jingshe was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed greatly: "It's not good! ”

With that, he tore a robe and put it on, and walked out of the tent, looking inexplicably at the northwest direction of the camp.

I don't know how long it took, the generals in the camp heard this miserable and desolate Chu Ge one after another, and they all came to the tent one by one, and asked about the specific situation.

Or it may be said that the singing soldier must be put to death for the crime of "disturbing the morale of the army."

Looking at the dispute between these people, Shouling Jun Jingshe stopped them with words: "This Chu Ge, I'm afraid it's a trick of the Wei army......

Hearing this, the people gathered around the tent couldn't help but be surprised: Among the Wei people, can they sing Chu songs with such a Chu accent?

Immediately, the deputy general Yang You personally led people to investigate.

When he led people to the northwest of the camp, he really saw an army stationed near a hill in the distance, although there was no moonlight at the beginning of the month, but with the faint light of the torches held by the other party, Yang You could still vaguely identify that it was the merchant army of Wei!

Moreover, it was not the merchant army reserve led by Wei general Shen Yu a few days ago, but the merchant army led by Wei Gongzi Runqin!

I have to say that as a famous general of the Wei army who defeated the state of Chu twice and took away as many as two million Chu people from the state of Chu, Wei Gongzirun's reputation in the state of Chu is even louder than that of the king of Wei, not to mention that Yang You, as the deputy general of Shouling Jun Jingshe, fought with Wei Gongzirun and the merchant army under his command back then.

Therefore, although the Shang Shui Army did not pay attention to Yang You's team at all, Yang You still withdrew from the camp in horror and told Shouling Jun Jingshe about the matter.

"What? Is it the merchant army under Wei Gongrun? ”

After listening to Yang You's statement, Shouling Jun Jingshe's face also changed suddenly: a Yu King Zhao Yuantong he couldn't resist it, let alone add another Wei Gongzirun?

Out of fear of Wei Gongzirun and the Shang Shui Army, Shouling Jun Jingshe did not dare to send troops to fight after all, so as not to encounter an ambush, and could only watch the bursts of miserable and desolate Chu Ge spread throughout the Chu army camp, further disintegrating the fighting spirit in the hearts of the Chu army generals.

"It's over......

With a gloomy sigh, Shouling Jun Jingshe turned around and ordered everyone outside the tent: "Pass the order, the whole army is ready to break through." ”

Why "breakout" instead of "retreat"?

Because Shouling Jun Jingshe knew very well that since the Wei army had resorted to this strategy of "attacking the heart", it was obvious that the other party must have the purpose of defeating them in one fell swoop.

This means that on the way to break through, the Chu army will inevitably be endlessly surrounded and ambushed by the Wei army.
