After Li Shiqi and a few people left, Wuchen found an opportunity and quietly went out of the mansion, but went to a farmhouse outside the city.

This farm yard is not large, there are only three huts inside, but there is a small bamboo planted in the courtyard, which looks very elegant.

There is another bamboo reclining chair in front of the small bamboo forest, a low table, at this time a middle-aged scribe over forty years old is lying on the bamboo chair, and holding a book is studying, and there is a pot of hot tea on the table, which is still steaming.

Hearing the movement at the door, the middle-aged scribe removed the bamboo slips, revealing an old face with a three-inch beard and a face full of hills and ravines.

When he saw that it was Wu Chen coming, he straightened up half of his body slightly, and said with a smile: "General Wu, no, it should be called the king, I don't know what is important when I come to the cold house?" ”

Wu Chen walked in, clasped his fists and saluted: "Wu Chen has seen Mr. Kui Che, don't hide it, I really have a question that Mr. needs to answer today." ”

The reason why the military ministers were able to capture the old land of Zhao in a short time was because of the help of Kuaicher, who was able to spread thousands of miles and go down more than 30 cities without a fight.

It's just that later Kuaicher declared that he didn't want to go out and lived in seclusion in this village outside the city, although the military ministers couldn't use him, but they respected Kuaicher very much, so this time he hesitated, so he came directly to Kuiccher.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it." Kuaiche was half-lying on the bamboo chair, facing the Wuchen as if he was educating the students.

Wuchen didn't mind, and told Li Shiqi about coming to Handan.

After hearing this, Kuaicher's eyebrows moved slightly, and he was silent.

After a while, Kui Che said: "Liu Bang wants to use you, even if the Zhao army is not in Linzi, it is not so easy to capture, but although Li Shiqi is a lobbyist, what he said is very reasonable, if the general wants to achieve a great cause, Linzi has to be removed, otherwise it will be like a man's back, once the Zhao army returns to the army, Yandi will be attacked."

In addition, I have a plan here, when the general waves the army to attack Linzi, you can take the offensive strategy, the strong attack is supplemented, and the persuasion is the main thing, if you can break the heart of the army, then the general will capture Linzi, if not, the general will not have much loss, just retreat before the Zhao army returns to the army. ”

After hearing this, Wu Chen suddenly bowed, and officially made up his mind: "Thank you, Mr. for your words, Wu Chen is grateful." ”

"Hehe, the general doesn't have to be polite." Kuaiche shook his head and smiled faintly: "However, this time to attack Linzi, I want to have a lively time, see the soldiers of the Qin army, I don't know if the general can give it." ”

Wu Chen was stunned, and then said with great joy: "This is natural, I will take Han Guang as the general and the military advisor as the military advisor." ”

Kuaiche waved his hand and said: "There is no need for a military advisor, a small official is enough, and the old man doesn't want to work too hard." ”

"Okay, then I'll take my leave." Wuchen was a little disappointed, he actually wanted Kuaicher to serve him all the time, but unfortunately Kuaicher didn't give face, plus Kuaicher was well-connected in Zhaodi, and Wuchen was not easy to be hard.

After the Wuchen left, Kuaiche smiled at the sky and said to himself: "The Ming Lord is hard to find, Wuchen, mediocre people, let me go to Linzi to have a look, see what Zhao Jun is capable of, the old man can appreciate the Qin Dynasty very much."

Three days later, Wuchen borrowed Chen Sheng's edict to officially claim the title of king in Handan, restore the title of Zhao State, and named Zhang Er and Shao Shao as the prime ministers, Chen Yu as the general, and the others each had a reward, and decided to send 60,000 troops, with Han Guangwei as the general to go to Linzi

North of Chen County, the camp of the Qin army.

In the handsome tent, Zhao Jun and the generals all looked gloomy.

After many days, the news that Wuchen set himself up as the king to attack Linzi has come, and Wei Bao has a small influence in Wei, agitating the people, sending soldiers and horses to harass the grain road repeatedly, and the grain transportation team led by Yu Ziqi is an auxiliary soldier and a people, and the grain road cannot be kept unobstructed at all, so the grain and grass in the army also began to be in short supply, and morale began to fall.

"It's better for us to go back to Linzi, we can't lose the foundation." Cao Wuxian proposed, although Chen County is a fat meat to the mouth, but Chen Sheng is defending it with all his might, let alone a month to take it, can Linzi hold on for a month?

Lu Ze shook his head and shook his head: "The orders of the imperial court cannot be ignored, and the unauthorized use of the army will give people a handle, and this expedition is the first time for our army, if it is defeated, it will have a great impact." ”

Yingbu said fiercely: "Master Hou, let me lead the dead soldiers back to Linzi, I will definitely defeat the Zhao army and capture Han Guang alive." ”

"No, attacking Chen Sheng will also use the Dead Soldier Battalion." Zhao Jun flatly refused.

At this time, Guan Ying proposed: "It's better to divide a part of the soldiers and horses to guard the grain road, and then block the news of Linzi so that the soldiers in the army don't know, and then capture Chen County." ”

Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this: "This can only be the case, Lu Ze, you lead three thousand main infantry soldiers to help Yu Zi Period, you must not cut off the grain and grass, and the news in the army must be tightly sealed." ”

"No!" Everyone hugged their fists in unison.

In the end, Zhao Jun retreated from everyone and summoned Wei Yu.

After Wei Yi arrived, he smiled and said, "It must be Liu Bang's trick to force Hou Ye to withdraw from the army." ”

Zhao Jun nodded and said: "Well, it must be the idea of Zhang Liang under his command, I have asked Lu Ze to take 3,000 people to guard the grain road, and at the same time block the news that Linzi was attacked, but this delay is extremely detrimental to our army, I am worried that only the 6,000 defenders of Linzi will not be able to support us to capture Chen County, and when we return to help." ”

"What Master Hou said is right." Wei Yi nodded and asked, "Where is Zhang Han's army now?" ”

Zhao Jun said: "I just came with the news two days ago, I just defeated Zhou Wen, and I am currently in pursuit in most of them. ”

"It seems that Zhang Han is a good general." Wei Yu smiled, and after a moment of silence, he said: "In this way, send someone to ask Zhang Han to divide his troops to Linzi, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and a little bit of division is enough to guard Linzi." ”

"This is a good note, then I'll send Hu Hai." Zhao Jun nodded

Chen County, in Chen Sheng's study, Chen Sheng also had a gloomy face, and his face could almost drip water, not only the Wuchen pretended to be the edict and claimed the king without authorization, but also the news of Zhou Wen's defeat in front of Hangu Pass.

Now that Song Liu and Wu Guang have also encountered great resistance to attack Xianyang, Zhou Wen has been defeated again, which makes him not panic.

"O king, o king, it's not good, Li Shiqi has been detained." Suddenly, Liu Bang hurriedly ran into the study and said urgently, now Chen Sheng trusts him very much, and Liu Bang enters and exits Chen Wang's mansion as if he is entering his own home.

Chen Sheng was stunned: "What, detained, what's going on." ”

Liu Bang sighed gloomily, looked sad, and said sadly: "Wuchen is really not a son of man, Li Shiqi sent back a letter, saying that he had persuaded Wuchen to send troops to Linzi, but who knew that Wuchen actually wanted to be the king, and changed the edict you gave to him to be the king, and also detained Li Shiqi, saying that if the king did not agree, he would kill Li Shiqi." ”

"That's the case, Wuchen Xiao'er, I believe you in vain! Pei Gong rest assured, I will definitely try to rescue Mr. Li. Chen Sheng said angrily, originally he thought that Liu Bang and Li Shiqi had discussed in advance and colluded with Wu Chen, but now it doesn't sound like that at all, so at the same time as the anger, Chen Sheng's little bit of guilt towards Liu Bang also disappeared.

Liu Bang is the best at observing words and feelings, seeing Chen Sheng's expression, he immediately knew that he had passed the test in a fool's way, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "King, it's not that I cherish the lives of my subordinates, but now the situation is critical, the king should not blame the military ministers for the time being, in case he is forced to occupy the Qin army, and if he doesn't attack Linzi, then we will be in danger, only after repelling the Zhao army, we will find a way to clean up the military ministers in the future." ”

"Alas" Chen Sheng sighed and said: "I understand this truth, and it can only be so, but I am still worried about Zhou Wen's side, I didn't expect Zhang Han to lead a group of prisoners to be so powerful, if Zhao Jun asks him for help and divides his troops to Chen County or Linzi, we will all be finished." ”

Liu Bang said with a smile: "Although this king can rest assured, according to my subordinates, this son Gao Ke is in the army, although he is a brother with Zhao Jun, but the relationship is not very harmonious, how easy is it for him to move to the rescue, I have sent someone to contact him, and I will persuade him to help us." ”

"Childe Gao will help us? He's a member of the Qin Dynasty's royal family. Chen Sheng felt a little incredulous.

Liu Bang shook his head and said, "What about the children of the royal family, can they still be more selfish than selfish?" Childe is high, according to my subordinates, but he is an extremely selfish person. ”

Chen Sheng nodded, he knew that Zhao Le, who was once the daughter of Zhao Gao, the confidant of the First Emperor of Qin, was under Liu Bang, had a separate intelligence officer, and knew some things about the Qin Dynasty well

Two flowers bloomed, one for each, and said that Hu Hai was ordered by Zhao Jun to hurriedly run to Hangu Pass to move the rescue troops.

At this time, Zhang Han was leading 500,000 prisoners for the rest of his life after the war to pursue Zhou Wen, and Hu Hai came directly to the barracks to report his identity before he could see it.

In the prisoner army, in the handsome tent, Zhang Han is dressed in armor, mighty, and has more momentum than before.

"Master Hu Hai is driving, Zhang Han has never been far away, it's rude." Zhang Han hugged his fists and said with a smile, with his identity, he naturally didn't need to salute Hu Hai, but for the sake of Zhao Jun's face, he was very respectful to Hu Hai......

"It's very polite, the second brother sent me this time to ask for something." Hu Hai gradually grew up, but he knew a lot of etiquette, and as soon as he hugged his fists, he directly explained the situation.

Zhang Han was stunned after hearing this: "Wuchen said that the king attacked Linzi? How many soldiers and horses are there in Linzi now? ”

Hu Hai replied: "It's still six thousand, and it's still a city defense army, the imperial court ordered us to attack Chen Sheng, but it's too late in time, so I want to ask the marshal to help, and allocate some soldiers and horses to be stationed in Linzi to buy time for the second brother." ”

Zhang Han nodded after hearing this, and said without the slightest hesitation: "Well, this is naturally okay, Hou Ye has been a great favor to me, and even this time he reminded me of the army, I naturally can't see death without help." ”

Hu Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Thank you." ”

"Hehe, it's the same Qin army, where the responsibility lies." Zhang Han smiled, and then called his own soldiers, and he was about to dispatch troops. (To be continued.) )
