Chapter 164: Luring the Wolf into the House (I)

Tiger Prison Pass

As the gateway of Sanchuan County today, after several times of reinforcement of the Tiger Prison Pass, there is also a faint taste of ancient Xiongguan.

At this pass, the banner is displayed, in addition to the city tower, the most central place, there is a big flag with the word "Chu", and the small flag embroidered with the word "Zhou" on the city wall is also hunting.

However, now gathered in the Tiger Prison Pass, it is not so much the Sanchuan Army under the leadership of Zhou Yu as the Fan Army under the rule of the Three Princes.

"His Royal Highness the King of Song, Your Majesty has sent an edict, ordering me to attack Korea as soon as possible......"

"Well, this king knows."

Zhou Yu showed a look of hesitation, this was the third time he had come to ask the third prince, but every time the third prince gave an answer, he continued to wait.

"Your Highness......"

"Zhou Yu." The third prince, who had never looked up, suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhou Yu, who was still a little stunned, and asked, "You can be regarded as a veteran, right?" ”

"The last general will not dare to be."

"Since he is a veteran, he should know that this king never fights uncertain battles. Since the father has already issued an edict, this king will naturally not disobey the emperor's order. ”

"......"

Zhou Yu thought about it, and finally reluctantly retreated.

After Zhou Yu left, the third prince slowly stood up, looked at Zhou Yu's back as he left, and said softly: "With such a character, no wonder the seventh brother didn't bring you this time." ”

Not long after Zhou Yu left, a soldier in armor walked over.

"Your Highness, the 10,000 Shenwu army has crossed the river three days ago, and it should have arrived in Handan."

"Good!" The third prince's eyes lit up, and he ordered: "Strictly monitor the Han army of the party, order it to go down, and everyone will be armed for battle!" ”

"Whoa!"

……

As the third prince expected, after nearly half a month's trek, 10,000 Shenwu troops arrived at the foot of Handan City at a seemingly god-fast speed.

The Han army, which was originally outside Handan City and had only tentatively attacked twice, immediately chose to retreat after learning of the arrival of the Shenwu army.

10,000 Shenwu troops, although it seems that the number is much smaller than that of the Han army. However, it was a cavalry armed to the teeth, a pro-army of the Emperor of Chu, and the top combat power of the entire Chu State.

After Xia Huan pit all the Jiuyuan elite horsemen, there were only more than 1,000 people in the Han army who could ride horses, and most of them were scouts.

When it comes to combat effectiveness, it is not at the same level as the Shenwu Army at all.

"The last general, Zhang Yi, meet His Royal Highness King Zhou!"

Zhang Yigang, who was dressed in Xuan armor, bowed his head as soon as he saw Xia Huan, although he was already fifty years old, he looked only in his forties.

The strong muscles even hold up his armor and look mighty.

"General Zhang is very polite, General Zhang is a father's favorite general, he has saved my Chu State in the sea of fire several times, Huan, I don't dare to be a general!"

Zhang Yi's own grade can actually only be regarded as the last rank of Jiuqing, but above the court, even the general Ji Shu and others will never dare to despise him.

Because, Zhang Yi himself is the commander of the 50,000 Shenwu Army.

Twenty years ago, it was Zhang Yi himself, who ran back and forth for 400 miles, almost relying on the strength of the Shenwu Army to defeat the nearly 100,000 Wei Qi coalition army.

Only the Shenwu Army can be stationed for a long time near Shouchun, the capital of the Chu State, and even, from the military camp of the Shenwu Army to the Chu Imperial Palace, it only takes less than an hour all the way.

It is conceivable that whoever can master the Shenwu Army will be the real ruler of the Chu State.

It can be seen from this that Emperor Chu trusts and relies on Zhang Yi as a person.

Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Yi personally came to Handan with 10,000 Shenwu troops, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and personally ran five miles outside the city gate to greet Zhang Yi.

Of course, there is also Zhao Shu, who is the prime minister of Zhao Guo. It's just that Zhao Shu at this time, in front of Zhang Yi, looked a little nervous.

"Zhao Guoxiangguo Zhao Shu, I have seen General Zhang."

Following Xia Huan, Zhao Shu also hurriedly saluted.

"The general came from afar, it must have been hard work, this is the wine and food that my Zhao Guo specially prepared for the general and all the soldiers, and I hope the general will accept it with a smile." Zhao Shu pointed to the long row of carriages behind him and said.

However, Zhao Shu's hot face seemed to be attached to the cold buttocks. Zhang Yi just said "um" and ignored him. Even the food and drink were not ordered to be in the bag.

Such a scene made Zhao Shu quite embarrassed. Let's ask him if he has been in charge of Zhao Guoniuer for more than 20 years, that is, when he faced the envoys of Qi State, the other party was kind and pleasant, where did he ever receive him so coldly.

However, he did not dare to complain. In the distance, the indifferent eyes of the ten thousand divine martial soldiers made him feel a little chill in his heart.

Before seeing the Shenwu Army, he thought that the Han Army was invincible, but after seeing the Shenwu Army, he found that the Shenwu Army simply made people have no desire to fight.

"General Zhang must have worked hard to save Zhao......" At this moment, Xia Huan suddenly opened his mouth and listened to the voice, as if to resolve Zhao Shu's embarrassment.

This also made Zhao Shu glance at Xia Huan, and secretly felt grateful in his heart. However, Xia Huan's next sentence suddenly made him fall into the deep valley again.

"The boy is not talented, he has prepared the camp for the general, and invited the general to enter the city, and he is willing to do his best to be a landlord."

Under Zhang Yi's cold armor, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head slightly, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you Your Royal Highness King Zhou for your kindness!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Yi recruited his deputy, ignored Zhao Shu, who was already in a cold sweat on the side, and ordered the whole army to prepare to enter the city.

"Your Highness! His Royal Highness the King of Zhou! ”

Taking advantage of Zhang Yi and his deputy's orders, Zhao Shu hurriedly walked to Xia Huan's side, gently pulled Xia Huan's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Why can't Xiangguo?" Xia Huan asked pretending to be puzzled.

"The foreign minister heard that the Chu army was full of food, and now it is noon, and the army is coming from afar, and the foreign minister thinks that it is better to let the army rest for a while before entering the city......

"Xiangguo is thinking about it......" Xia Huan smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's just a meal, what about eating later, is it possible that people can starve to death?" ”

"Your Highness!"

When Zhao Shu heard that Xia Huan deliberately snorted, he suddenly became anxious, and his voice couldn't help but be a little louder.

"Why, is it possible that Xiangguo wants my Shenwu Army to sleep outside the city!" Xia Huan's face turned cold and scolded.

Zhao Shu just wanted to speak, but when he saw Zhang Yi again, he heard Xia Huan's scolding, turned around, and looked at him.

Zhao Shu seemed to be being targeted by a fierce beast, and suddenly shuddered, and swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth alive.

"Zhao Xiangguo seems to have some high opinions?" Zhang Yi asked coldly.

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"In that case, let's go into the city!" Zhang Yi's words were cold, like knives.

"......"
