In the Xue Yi of Qi State, in Tian Ying's mansion, Zhang Chou reported to Tian Ying: "Childe, the plan has failed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info That Song State boy Ziyan directly sent the envoy to the people of Chu State, and our plan to separate Chu State and Song State failed. ”

"Childe, I said a long time ago that it is useless to use this kind of sub-scheme to deal with the Chu State, if you want to really overwhelm the Chu State, you still have to fight it out on the battlefield!" The voice of the speaker is like a bell, full of energy, it is the general of Qi State, Shen Bin, the commander of Qi State's battle against Chu.

"What the general said is very true, it is that the kid is too arrogant, thinking that a small strategy can drive a wedge between Song and Chu." Tian Ying replied, "I have also seen this Ziyan twice, and the first time I saw him, I thought he was quite knowledgeable and talented. Now he can not only easily defeat the army of Chu in the Song State, which is several times his size, but also easily see through my strategy, he has outstanding military and political talent at such a young age, and he is in the position of a great pedestrian in the Song State, which is really not to be underestimated! Sooner or later, this person will become the great enemy of my Qi country! ”

"Childe, you're going too far." Shen Jian replied with a smile, "Judging from the last general, this Ziyan may be very knowledgeable, but you said that his attainments in military affairs and political affairs are so high, the last general does not dare to agree." The last general thought that no matter how powerful this Ziyan was, he was also a young man who had not yet reached the crown, and he didn't dare to say anything else, but the military affairs were by no means something he could do at such a young age, and he could win more with less in Fengyi, and defeat the army of the Emperor of Chu several times that of the Lingjun, and he was definitely assisted by strong talents. ”

"As a battle-hardened veteran, Shenzi is naturally able to see everything." Tian Ying said to Shen Yan, "Don't talk about this Ziyan, I don't know how Shen Zi will prepare for the big war between my Qi State and Chu State?" ”

"The last general thinks that the labor division of the Chu State has gone on an expedition and has come thousands of miles to attack me, and this Chu State is also wrong. Our Qi country defeated Qiang Wei twice, and it already has the potential to be the hegemon of the world, but Chu Zhao is not convinced. The state of Chu has always been unruly, if our state of Qi wants to make the state of Chu obey and recognize Huaisi as the sphere of influence of our state of Qi, we must defeat the state of Chu, and defeat it on the frontal battlefield, only in this way can the state of Chu be truly convinced, and the hegemony of our king can be truly stable. Now in Xueyi, our Qi country has gathered 150,000 troops, just wait for our king to arrive in Xueyi, and the last general can immediately launch an attack on the Chu army camp, and ensure that the Chu army will not return! Shen Liang said arrogantly.

"Since Shenzi is so sure, then I am relieved. I will immediately invite my father to come to Fengyi and have a good victory with the Chu State! Tian Ying was also moved by Shen Bin's heroic momentum, and his conspiracy did not work, and he also began to agree with Shen Bin's plan to defeat Chu in a head-to-head duel.

Of course, the more important reason is actually related to Dai Yan. Dai Yan, as the son of the Song State, personally led 1,000 people to defeat the 5,000-strong Yangling Jun array. This made this young Jing Guojun very unconvinced!

Tian Ying, as the youngest son of the King of Qi, and because he helped the King of Qi deal with political affairs and controlled the power of the Qi State, he always regarded himself very highly. In his opinion, there are few people in the younger generation of sons in the world who can really compare with him.

Only this disciple of the monarch of the Song Kingdom surprised him. Before the weak crown, he became a great pedestrian of the Song Kingdom, and then shined at the meeting of the Prime Minister of Xuzhou, so that all countries knew that the Song Kingdom had a virtuous son. And now Ziyan fought a beautiful battle in the Song Kingdom, which made his reputation even louder.

Tian Ying's elder brother Tian Bijiang has been the crown prince of Qi for many years, and Tian Ying has no intention of replacing Tian Bijiang as the prince for the time being. All he can think about is to make himself rich and famous all over the world. He had already accomplished the first goal, and the second goal seemed easy to him. However, now that there is a son of the Song Kingdom, compared with Ziyan, he is not too brilliant, and the eyes of the world may not be focused on him, which makes Tian Ying quite annoyed.

Of course, he didn't know that there was a saying in later generations that "both Shengyu and He Shengliang" existed, but it was true that he was quite unhappy with Dai Yan, and he had been secretly competing with Dai Yan in private.

In Tian Ying's view, now that he has surpassed Ziyan in the limelight and made himself famous all over the world, there is a great opportunity in front of him. That is to create and fight an unprecedented victory - defeat the state of Chu!

He is not a young man who is not familiar with military affairs, and he followed Tian Ji on the battlefield in the Battle of Maling. In his opinion, there is nothing difficult about fighting a war. Since a person as young as Ziyan can defeat the state of Chu with one enemy and five. Personally recommended and supported by himself, the experienced general Shen Lian went into battle, and he was personally in charge of the logistics of the Qi army, how could he not even be as good as that young Ziyan with so many talents in the Qi country?

So he began to respond to Shen Bin's proposition - respectfully invite the king of Qi to come to the front line to supervise the battle!

March of the seventh year of King Chuwei; In the twenty-fourth year of King Qiwei's reign in the country, in the second year of his reign, the king of Qi personally came to the camp of Qi in Xueyi, and the king of Chu then moved his royal drive from Pengcheng to the front line of the camp of the Chu army in Fengyi. The unprecedented battle of Qichu Xuzhou began!

In this battle, the State of Qi mobilized a total of 150,000 troops such as technical fighters, Wudu Army, and Palace Guards, while the State of Chu mobilized a total of 160,000 troops such as the Wang Division Chu Wushu, the private armies of the feudal monarchs in Huainan and Huaibei, and the Huaihe Boat Division! The scale of this kind of war is even larger than the scale of the battle of Jin, Chu and Yanling in history, and it can be called the pinnacle of the battle for hegemony!

After the Chu army arrived in Fengyi with the king of Chu and the king of Chu, they began to cross Surabaya directly, camping on the north bank of Surabaya, almost one step away from Xueyi, where the Qi army was located.

The art of war in this era has taken shape, and everyone knows that it is not a good practice to line up against the water. However, the Chu army traveled thousands of miles to attack the Qi State, and they did not come here to confront the Qi army across Surabaya! Therefore, the Chu army decisively crossed Surabaya and camped on its northern bank.

Because the Yellow River had not yet taken over the Huai River in this era, Weishan Lake in this era did not become the largest freshwater lake in northern China as in later generations, but was only a vast area composed of plains, wetlands and swamps formed by the impact of Surabaya. It can be called the best battlefield of this era!

The huge armies of the two countries were under the noses of the other side, and neither dared to move first, so a large-scale scout war between the two sides began.

Gao Yang, as a Qi State martial artist with war experience, was valued by his commander as soon as he entered the technical short sword battalion. In addition, his ability was indeed very good, so he was appointed by the commander to be in charge of ten soldiers. Although he is a junior officer, he is still very grateful to his commander for getting this position, and he also takes care of his good friend Dong Guojing, who invited him to join the army, and takes advantage of this slight position, he directly appoints Dong Guojing as a member of his subordinates.

Now, he led his small army and began to cruise the vast land where the Qi army and the Chu army camp intersected.

And not far from him, Wang Rong, the two Sima of the Chu army, who had been a veteran for ten years, also led his ten soldiers to start a reconnaissance of this land.

In Wang Rong's view, the terrain of this land is very similar to that of Yunmengze in the Chu State, where plains and swamps intersect. They had practiced in Yunmengzela many times, and they were not afraid of such terrain.

Just as he led his men forward, the sensitive sense of being a soldier for many years made him aware of the danger, so he immediately rolled to the grass! Sure enough, when he looked back, there was already a feathered arrow stuck in the place where he was standing just now!

"Enemy attack!" He shouted, and the more than a dozen Chu soldiers began to bow down to his voice. Everyone began to look in all directions for the incoming enemy.

"It's a shame." Gao Yang said to his friend and subordinate Dong Guojing. He had just seen a grassroots officer of the Chu army, so he quickly pointed an arrow at the other party. But unexpectedly, the opponent's sense of smell on the battlefield was too sensitive, and he dodged an arrow he shot at once.

Since the dark is not good, then the light will come.

Gao Yang stood up straight, shot another arrow into the distance, and the Chu army on the opposite side really began to fight back!

So these two grassroots scout teams began to shoot at each other in this grass at a distance of about ten paces. These two squads, on the one hand, are the technical fighters composed of market rangers in the cities of the Qi State, and on the other hand, they are the standing army carefully selected from the warriors of the Chu State. The archery skills of both sides were similar, so after a while, the arrows of these two teams were all shot!

Without arrows, Gao Yang was not discouraged, he took out the sword he had built with a lot of money, and charged towards the Chu soldiers in the distance, and his subordinates did not dare to slack off, both for money and because of military law, so they also charged with Shi Chang!

Wang Rong saw the other party rushing over, the quality that a professional soldier should have, he also drew his sword and led his subordinates to rush towards the other party!

These two people, who had never met before and had never hated each other, fought together because of the will of the country and the king!

Gao Yang picked Wang Rong as his opponent at a glance. In his opinion, although the Chu army on the opposite side is all Chu army, but the head of a chief is worth more than the head of an ordinary soldier after all, he is fed up with the cold eyes of his wife and concubine at home, he wants to get enough money in this war and regain his dignity at home!

His thirst for money and dignity filled his body with strength, and he could feel his body feel refreshed with every swing of his sword. Under his fierce swordsmanship, Wang Rong on the opposite side was forced to retreat by him.
