Linquan County is a small county town in Runan, five miles away from the county seat, there is a soil mountain, called Damo Mountain.

The mountain is not high, but it is densely wooded, and you can't see the situation in the mountain from the outside.

At this time, there is a team in the Damo Mountain, which is encamped here, and if it were not for the scouts and messengers coming and going from time to time in the mountains and outside the mountains, no one would have noticed that there would be people in the mountains.

However, at this time, there were not many people in Linquan County, so even those scouts and messengers who came in and out were not noticed.

Da-da-da-da.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the mountain road, and a sergeant straddled his horse and ran into the mountain.

After passing through a few mountains and forests, the field of vision began to widen, and in a valley, there was a large camp.

Around the camp, the sergeants patrolling one by one, not allowing anyone to take advantage of the opportunity, and guarding a large camp impenetrable.

The sergeant on horseback, when he was about to approach the camp, took out a token from his bosom, on which was engraved with the word "Xun", and when the patrolling troops saw it, they avoided it and put it into the camp.

The sergeant who entered the camp did not stop for long, and went directly to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after arriving at the big tent of the Chinese army, he flew off his horse, and before entering, he shouted loudly: "Runan military situation!" ”

He handed the horse into the hands of the sergeant next to the tent, who lifted the curtain and walked in.

There were two generals sitting in the big tent, and several partial generals and generals stood on both sides, and the sergeant hugged his fists and said: "Runan has found out the enemy's situation, and Qiao Rui led the army out of the city." ”

After hearing this, the two generals sitting frowned, and after glancing at each other, one of them asked, "Has Qiao Rui discovered the traces of our army and came to conquer?" ”

The sergeant clenched his fists and responded: "Back to General Xu, if this is not the case, then Qiao Rui led the army straight to the direction of Shangcai, it should be to rescue Chen Ji, not to find the traces of our army." ”

Which general next to him then asked, "How many soldiers and horses did Qiao Rui bring?" ”

"Returning to General Taishi, Qiao Rui led a total of 40,000 troops, leaving 60,000 to guard Runan." The sergeant replied.

The two sitting generals were Xu Chu and Tai Shici, who were ordered by Zhao Qian to intercept the bridge and rescue.

"Sure enough, as the lord expected, the bridge couldn't sit still." Tai Shi Ci said with a smile.

Xu Chu stretched his neck and said, "Finally, it's our turn to make a move, there has been no big war for so many days, and a certain body is about to rust." ”

"Zhongkang, do you have a countermeasure?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

Xu Chu thought for a while and said: "Qiao Rui only brought 40,000 soldiers and horses, but the two of us have 50,000 men. ”

After hearing this, Tai Shici nodded and said, "I have this intention!" ”

Therefore, the two men discussed and decided to divide the soldiers and horses into two, each leading 25,000 men, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to intercept the reinforcements of Qiaorui.

The task of Xu Chu and Tai Shici was not to let Runan's reinforcements arrive in Shangcai, and they were worried that Qiao Rui would come out of the nest and face some pressure on the 100,000 army.

Who knows, Qiao Rui was still more cautious, leaving 60,000 horses to guard Runan, and he only brought 40,000 people to the rescue.

Originally, it was a good thing to be cautious, but this time, it gave Xu Chu and Tai Shici an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they were confident that they could eat it with only 40,000 horses.

At this time, Qiao Rui's army had already passed through Funan County and was pausing to recuperate, but Qiao Rui's heart did not relax at all, and he always felt a little uneasy.

Soon, the uneasiness in his heart was confirmed, and after a cannon fire not far away, a large group of men and horses rushed over, and Qiao Rui only saw that on the flag, a big "Xu" word was embroidered.
