When Gongsun saw that the national letter said this, he immediately didn't dare to sell Guanzi. I saw Gongsun hurriedly say, "Marshal! The last general thinks that what Lu Guo relies on is just Wu State! And if we can completely complete the battle and defeat the Wu army, there is no Wu army here! Lu is nothing but a lamb. And now with the support of Wu Jun, the Lu Army is so tenacious! Therefore, the last general thinks that to attack the Lu State, you must defeat the Wu State! ”

"You're right, but the question is, is Wu Jun easy to deal with?" Guoshu said dissatisfiedly, of course he would not admit that he was a little afraid of Wu Jun.

Gongsun waved and said with a smile: "Wu Jun is not easy to deal with, but Wu Jun is arrogant. Marshal, we can do so! After the Wu army arrived, the last general came forward to challenge! And the Wu army has just dug the ditch, and rushed over non-stop, they have all become tired soldiers, we wait for work, how not to win! ”

"Did this work?" Guoshu was still a little hesitant. He had seen Wu Jun's madness last year, and they were not easy to bully.

Gongsun waved back the Taoist letter for fear that he would not be able to attract Wu Jun, so he said with a grin: "Of course it is useful, Wu Jun came to Lu State and was challenged by us, but he did not dare to go out of the camp to fight." How demoralizing is that? So whether Wu Jun is out or not, we have the upper hand! How is it bad? ”

Guoshu explained: "Ben Shuai is afraid that he will not be able to defeat the Wu army!" ”

Gongsun waved and said: "Don't worry, the marshal, the last general has already thought of a countermeasure!" There were 30,000 people in our Qi army, which was 10,000 more than the Wu army on the other side. When the time comes, the last general will lead 20,000 people to fight with the Wu army, I believe that even if he does not win, it will not be easy to lose! And the marshal led the troop and the remaining 10,000 soldiers to make a detour during the period when the last general was entangled with the Wu army, blocking his waist and breaking his Wu army from the side! This will defeat the enemy! If the Wu army is abolished, how can the Wu army be the opponent of my Qi army? ”

Guoshu's eyes lit up and said, "Great goodness!" Okay, just do what you do! ”

Gongsun was overjoyed, so the Qi army began to camp in the area of Ailing. Meng Wubo couldn't help but wonder about Qi Jun's action. However, in the spirit of fighting, it can't be beaten, and the only way to respond to all changes is to keep the same. Meng Wubo could only watch coldly from the sidelines.

Three days later, Xu Menchao led 20,000 soldiers of the Wu State to Ailing. Meng Wubo immediately led his soldiers to join Xu Menchao, and after discussion, the two sides decided to camp about twenty miles away from the Qi army.

And just as the Wulu coalition army had just set up camp, Gongsun Hui immediately led 200 military vehicles out of the camp to line up. Gongsun Hui didn't wait for the Qi army to line up, and he was already escorted by four military chariots, and came to a place about 200 paces away from the Wu army, shouting: "Nanban dog, dare to fight with my Gongsun Hui!" ”

When Xu Menchao heard this, he was furious, "Oh! For! For! Striding up to the arrow tower, he shouted angrily: "Your subordinates are defeated, and you dare to be brave in front of this general?" Someone is coming, quickly pass the order down, and the whole army will be ready for battle! ”

When Meng Wubo heard Xu Menchao's order, he was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly comforted Xu Menchao: "General, now that your army has just come from a long journey, it is already tired, and how much strength has it consumed to camp just now!" It is really unwise to attack an army with exhaustion and strength! In my opinion, it is better to rest in the camp for a day, and then go out to fight tomorrow morning! ”

Xu Menchao said dissatisfiedly: "Meng Sima, how can you say that? If we don't go to war today, won't we be emboldening the other side? And weaken the morale of my army? In addition, Wu Jun is brave and good at fighting, how can he be afraid of such a small problem! ”

"General, don't be careless! If you don't fight, it will affect morale, but if you lose, it will affect morale even more! Meng Wubo said bitterly.

"Whew!" Xu Menchao said angrily: "What kind of defeat, my Wu army is invincible, how can it be defeated!" Since Meng Sima has a different opinion, let Lu Jun guard the camp! ”

After Xu Menchao finished speaking, he left, and Meng Wubo turned around and just wanted to persuade him, when he heard Xu Menchao muttering: "No wonder Lu State was bullied by Qi State like this, with such a cowardly general, how could he win Qi State!" ”

Hearing this, Meng Wubo's face turned blue and white for a while, and Meng Wubo was so angry that he secretly said in his heart: Hmph! If you want to die, go and die!

However, I have to say that Xu Menchao's arrogance still has a bit of capital, although Wu Jun is quite tired, but he heard that he wants to fight. did not push back, but excitedly went out of the camp and lined up, with high morale.

War drums sounded on both sides at the same time, and the military vehicles were the first to charge, and the infantry was behind them. Although the Wu army was tired, it was extremely brave and good at fighting, and it was inseparable from the Qi army.

Gongsun was not afraid, picked up a long ge, and fought with Xu Menchao, who also killed him. The soldiers on both sides saw that the main general was so brave, and everyone's morale was high, and the killing of both sides became even more inseparable. It's like a raging fire, no one can help anyone, but it gets more and more intense.

The two sides have been fighting for two hours, and they can't help each other when they see each other in Xumenchao, and after two hours, whether it is the Qi army waiting for work at ease, or the Wu army fighting with a tired posture, they are already very tired at this moment. Xu Menchao just wanted to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, but at this moment, a piercing horn sounded from behind.

Xu Menchao couldn't help but be surprised, and a not very good feeling appeared in his heart.

"Be careful, lord!" At this moment, the guards on the military cart hurriedly shouted and blocked the front of Xu Menchao with their shields.

I can only hear "Bell!" A metal collision sounded, but Gongsun Hui took advantage of the Xumen Nest to distract his attention, and took the opportunity to stab Changge, thinking that Changge would solve the Xumen Nest. Seeing that the crisis was resolved by the guards with a steady blow, Gongsun couldn't help but secretly say that it was a pity, but he didn't forget to take advantage of it, "Xu Menchao, where are your eyes going!" Your opponent is here! ”

Xu Menchao didn't care about the source of the piercing horn, because he was almost killed by Gongsun Hui, and he was furious. roared angrily: "Gongsun wields you despicable villain, eat me with a spear!" ”

Xu Menchao said that, and stabbed a spear when the military vehicles of the two sides were staggered. Gongsun Hui immediately used Changge and sneered: "That's it! ”

"Really?" Xu Menchao didn't play tricks with Gongsun anymore, and concentrated on fighting with Gongsun.

And where did the sound of the horn that made Xu Menchao's heart flutter come from? If nothing else, it was the letter of the state that adopted Gongsun Hui's strategy, and he was leading 10,000 Qi troops to kill from the side, starting with 200 military vehicles.

Before the Wu army could react, the military vehicle had already crashed into the infantry formation of the Wu army. The Wu soldiers who couldn't dodge were knocked into the air, and the wheels of the military vehicles turned into meat grinders, breaking the legs of the Wu soldiers along the way. The fallen soldier was mercilessly crushed to pulp. The infantry of the Qi army behind the chariot immediately took the opportunity to insert and divide the Wu army into several small pieces.

Although the Wu army suffered such a heavy loss, there was still no large-scale rout, but the Qi army had no choice but to divide the Wu army at this moment. Not only did the Wu soldiers not get support, but they often found themselves three men versus five or more soldiers.

At this time, Xu Menchao received a report from the soldiers in the rear, and only then did he react, but it was already a little late at this time. The middle of the Wu army was broken by the barricade, while Gongsun Hui commanded the soldiers to besiege the Wu army.

At this time, Meng Wubo didn't care about Xu Menchao's cynicism at him just now, and ordered the soldiers to go out of the camp to support. Because the Wu army was destroyed, it was no harm to the Lu country. However, because of the short time, Meng Wubo did not mobilize all the soldiers of the Lu State, and there were only 5,000 people in his hands, not to mention saving Xu Menchao and other Wu troops, which took a long time. When the Qi army digested the Xumen Nest and them, Meng Wubo and them were probably also in danger.

At this moment, the besieged Xumen Nest no longer has the same vigor as before, the helmet is lost by whom, the cloak is scattered, the face is covered with blood, and the long sword is in his hand, looking blankly at the Wu army who has been besieged. lamented: "Hit the plan! Hit the trick! Is it really the heavens that are going to kill my Xu Men Nest? ”

The soldier in the military chariot was the doorman of Naxu Menchao's favorite, and immediately comforted: "Lord, there is no moment of defeat yet!" How can you be discouraged! ”

"It's okay for you to deceive those little soldiers, General Ben went out with his father at the age of sixteen, and it has been sixteen years so far. I don't know where the situation on the battlefield is now in question!? I just hate me for being careless! It's a pity that it's too late to regret it! I have failed the king's trust in me! Treat Gusu's father badly! Xu Menchao's face was full of sorrow, and he put his long sword around his neck.

The doorman immediately grabbed Xu Menchao's arm holding the sword and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, lord! Lord, you must believe that there will be a turnaround! There will be a turnaround! ”

"Huh! Scold! Scold! After laughing bitterly three times, Xu Menchao said, "Turnaround? Now don't talk about the turnaround, even a single reinforcement will not be available! ”

But at this time, the sound of drums sounded like thunder, and Xu Menchao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the sound, wasn't the familiar sound of drums Wu Jun's drums? How come there is still the sound of drums now? Xu Menchao immediately put down his long sword, looked up, and crossed the battlefield where he was fighting, and could vaguely see dozens of flags.

At this time, the doorman was sharp-eyed and said excitedly: "Lord! It's the king! The king has arrived with a great army! Reinforcements are coming! There are reinforcements! ”

Speaking of the back, the doorman was already a little incoherent, and Xu Menchao couldn't help but get excited, grabbed the doorman's arm and asked, "Is it really the king?" How did the king come so soon? ”

"It's really a king! That's the king's banner, lord, minister must be right! The doorman said excitedly.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Wu army were closer to Xumenchao, and there was no need for doormen to do it for them, and Xumenchao had already seen the banner of Fucha. Although Xu Menchao was excited, he had not forgotten to wonder what was going on, he obviously set off a day and a half earlier than the king. Even if you open the road and meet the water along the way, it is impossible to be caught up by the king so quickly!

However, this is really the life of Xu Menchao or the 20,000 soldiers of the Wu Army. On the third day after Xu Menchao left, Fucha had a dream at night, dreaming that he was leading a three-ride military chariot to hunt, and he was in the center of the military chariot. And in the middle of the way, a tiger suddenly pounced on the grass, swallowing the military cart on his left, and frightened the husband to wake up from his sleep.

The husband immediately found someone to interpret his dream, which was very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period. For example, we often say that we dream of Zhou Gong, this Zhou Gong is Zhou Gongdan in the early days of the Zhou Dynasty. He is best known for his dream interpretation, which later evolved into a dream of Zhou Gong. A duke is familiar with dream interpretation.

So at that time, the status of dream interpreters was quite high, and the aristocracy generally raised several dream interpreters. And Fucha is no exception. After listening to the words of the husband, the dream interpreter thought for a while, and then said to the husband: "The tiger is in charge of the military disaster!" And the tiger swallowing the troop chariot is a sign from heaven that the king is a big murderer in this battle! ”

"This?" When the husband heard this, he couldn't help but be a little undecided, did he have to withdraw from the army by himself? However, on the one hand, Fucha was unwilling to waste so much manpower and material resources but hastily withdrew from the army, and the negative impact was too great.

When the dream interpreter saw his husband's appearance, he immediately comforted: "Don't worry, the king is in a hurry, this tiger swallows the king's escort, obviously this murderer is not directly coming at the king!" The left is the top, I'm afraid that the army is in danger! ”

When the husband heard this, he thought so. But marching and fighting is not a trivial matter, and Xu Menchao has already taken a step forward, even if the husband is willing to use the army as the vanguard, how much time will it take to delay and how much money will be wasted? It will also affect the morale of the army, thinking that the husband does not trust them.

So Fucha could only secretly order the soldiers to speed up and shorten the distance between the middle army, the lower army and the upper army, and slowly the distance between Fucha and Xu Menchao had been shortened to just over half a day. And after camping and fighting, this period of time just happened to make the husband meet the scene in front of him in time.

Seeing this, Fucha couldn't help but be shocked, and before he had time to let the soldiers rest, he had already ordered the whole army to go into battle. At this moment, the Qi army is only not enough for the Chinese army, while the upper and lower armies are chasing or driving away the harassing Lu army. Guoshu saw that Wu's army was powerful, although he was unwilling, he spit out this mouthful of fat, but if he didn't spit it out, although the fat could be digested, but his own 30,000 people didn't want to get away. The national secretary had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

And the husband also accepted it when he saw it, and ordered the soldiers to return to the camp. However, when he returned to the camp and counted the losses, he was immediately furious, and of the 20,000 men, almost half of them were lost, and 4,000 were either killed, captured, or lost, and 5,000 wounded. This wounded soldier does not mean that a small cut by a sword is considered a wounded soldier, but that it is called a wounded soldier after at least ten days of recuperation.

However, there are no eyes on this battlefield, and once you are injured, you are basically injured. As the saying goes, if you break your muscles and bones for a hundred days, this means that the army is already half-disabled. Just after the start of the war, nearly 10,000 people had already been lost, almost one-seventh of the Wu army, how could Fucha not be furious?

And the soldiers of the Lu State were even more hit, and they were still counting on the Wu army, but now it seems that the Wu army is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect itself!
