"Old! Scold! Scold! You have to be helped when you get out of the car! Shen Gong said with a smile, the clothes on his body were very simple, they were ordinary linen clothes in the countryside, and they were quite shabby. The elbows and other places that are easy to wear, the clothes are obviously worn very badly, and the silk threads are pouting.

Ye Gong didn't have a trace of disdain for this, but said with a look of reverence: "Shen Gong is old!" Could this troop chariot be the car used when Shen Gong led the army to counterattack the Wu army? ”

When Shen Gong heard this, he nodded, his rough big hands gently stroked the dilapidated military vehicle, and his eyes showed a little nostalgia and murmured: "Yes! Unexpectedly, the old man would have to drive him to the battlefield again one day, these are the old man's old buddies (war horses). Looking at them, the old man realized that before he knew it, so much time had passed, and he was also dead! ”

Speaking of the back, Shen Gong's tone was indescribably responsible, as if he regretted and regretted, as if he was happy, and as if he was unwilling.

When Ye Gong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. He also knew who the 'he' in Shen Gong's mouth was referring to, and that 'he' was originally a famous general of the Chu State, but in the end he became the great enemy of the Chu State. This is really a ridiculous irony, Ye Gong couldn't help but be very complicated in his heart for a while.

"Ziguo has seen the old general!" Ziguo walked up at this time and gave Shen Gong a big salute respectfully.

Shen Gong hurriedly helped Ziguo up and said, "The old man is old, but now he is not a general, but he is just a savage." The old man also knows about your father, alas! The old man can only say, let's mourn and change! ”

"Old General Xie comforted, although the old general did not admit it, but in the heart of Ziguo, the old general has always been the general of Chu State! As for Bai Gongsheng's beast, the only thing Ziguo wants to do now is to kill him with his own hands! Avenge your father! Ziguo gritted his teeth.

Speaking of this, Ziguo immediately looked at Shen Gong with a look of hope and said, "Please ask the old general to help Ziguo!" ”

"Alas! You can rest assured that the old man is here for this purpose. But the old man doesn't know the situation very well now, you take the old man to the big tent of the Chinese army and explain the situation in detail! Shen Gong said unceremoniously, as if he was the commander of the first army of the Chu army.

Ye Gong and Ziguo did not show dissatisfaction when they heard this. The guards were dumbfounded, who is this old guy? Of course, I only dare to say this in my heart.

But soon, some smart people guessed Shen Gong's identity through the conversation between Ye Gong and Shen Gong just now. 'Counterattack on the Wu Army' obviously refers to the almost catastrophic war more than twenty years ago, coupled with the general that Ziguo insisted on, Shen Gong was clearly the general of that era. And to get Ye Gong's attention, there is no doubt that he will make a great contribution, at least no worse than Ye Gong's expulsion of Bai Gongsheng.

And it is called Shen Gong, although it may be a fief in Shen Di, but what if it is replaced by a surname? In that war, there was only one person in the general surnamed Shen who shone brightly! In this way, wouldn't Shen Baoxu, who knelt outside the palace gate of the Qin State for seven days to seek reinforcements for the Chu State!!

The soldier who thought of the answer immediately spread the news excitedly.

Walking halfway, Shen Baoxu obviously heard the whispers behind him, looked at the pro-soldier guards behind him with a smile, and smiled at Ye Gong: "Zigao (Ye Gongzi)!" It seems that they have thought of the identity of the old man! Your men are doing a good job! I can't say that there will be a few generals of the Chu State here in the future! ”

"Shen Gong is polite! They are all children of the clan, and they usually study hard! How dare I ask for credit! When Ye Gong heard Shen Baoxu's praise, he couldn't help but show a little joy on his face, but he also knew that he couldn't get carried away, and he was still relatively modest in language.

While the group was talking, they had already come to the outside of the Chinese army's tent, and Ye Gong took the lead and lifted the curtain so that Shen Baoxu could go in first. Shen Baoxu shook his head and said, "You are the boss, you go first!" Don't waste the ceremony! ”

Ye Gong was stunned, but he still didn't force it, because he suddenly remembered Shen Baoxu's personality and was indifferent to fame and fortune. At the beginning, Shen Baoxu made such a great contribution, but he didn't ask for it, but went into seclusion in the mountains. He has never interfered in court politics, and this time he was invited out of the mountain because the crisis in Chu was too great. Ye Gong was unwilling to force Shen Baoxu on this etiquette, if so, what Shen Baoxu felt was not respect, I am afraid it was an insult.

Ye Gong took the lead in entering the tent, Ziguo took half a step back, and let Shen Baoxu enter first, this time Shen Baoxu did not push.

Walking into the big tent of the Chinese army, Ye Gong immediately spread out the map on the wide low table, pointed to Bai Ju and explained: "I have arranged 150,000 people here, Baiju is Dabie Mountain in the east, Tongbai Mountain in the west, the two mountains are hundreds of miles, it is impossible for the Han army to turn over from here!" ”

Shen Baoxu touched the beard on his chin and said, "Although this is the case, can't you be careless and send someone to build a beacon tower in two places?" ”

Ye Gong nodded when he heard the words and said: "Shen Gong really deserves to be a veteran of the battlefield, and I only remembered it afterwards, choosing a peak among the two mountains to build a beacon tower." The army of more than 100 Han troops crossed here, we all know! In addition, I also sent men to garrison the main roads in the mountains, although the most were two or three hundred, and the few were sixty or fifty. But with the geography, there is enough reinforcements to support the nearby troops! ”

"Hmm!" Shen Baoxu nodded when he heard this, but did not speak.

Ye Gong continued: "In addition, 8,000 people have been deployed in Qianyi (Huoshan County, Anhui), Tong, Shu and other places to guard against Goujian. Although these 8,000 people are not the elite soldiers of the Chu State, even so, Gou Jian has to think twice before making any small moves! ”

When Shen Baoxu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, it's not inconvenient because the opponent is weak, Ziguo, you are much better than the old man back then!" ”

When Ye Gong heard Shen Baoxu's praise, he couldn't help but smile a little shyly. Then he pointed to the west bank of Rushui, and when he said this, Ye Gong's face darkened, and he said a little helplessly: "The biggest problem now is here, Needle Yin Gu just came with the news that they failed to force Rushui to cross." Now the entire Cai land is probably in the hands of the Han army, and he also launched a forced crossing, but 8,000 people were killed and wounded, and now he can only confront the Han army on the other side of the Ru River. The biggest problem now is that none of us can help anyone, and if we delay like this, there will be a lot of pressure on logistics, and even if we defeat the Han State in the future, this battle will at most take a small advantage of the Han State, and we will not be able to expand the results of the war. ”

Shen Baoxu heard this, nodded, and did not comment on this. Instead, he asked Ye Gong about all the arrangements of the Han army, and Ye Gong told everything he knew, including the situation of some recent vassal states.

Shen Baoxu only nodded and did not comment. After Shen Baoxu listened, he scanned the map with slightly cloudy eyes. Ye Gong and Ziguo didn't dare to disturb, both of them were thinking about how to break the current deadlock.

Shen Baoxu suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "Oops! ”

Ye Gong and Ziguo were both startled, and Ziguo took the lead in asking, "Old general, what's wrong?" What's wrong with our setup? ”

Although Ye Gong thought that Shen Baoxu was making a fuss, he did not think that there would be a hole in the current defense line. But Shen Baoxu is not comparable to him, a person who has not fought much, so Ye Gong did not say anything to refute it. Instead, he focused and looked at Shen Baoxu to see how he explained.

"How many troops have you deployed in Hanzhong?" Shen Baoxu asked.

Ye Gong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of Shen Baoxu's words, Ye Gong asked with a somewhat ugly face: "Is Shen Gong saying that the Qin State may interfere?" ”

"Not probably! But it will be! Shen Baoxu said with an ugly face: "Now that we are in this stalemate, on the surface, it seems that the Chu State is at a loss, after all, the Han State occupies the land of the Chu State. But that's not the case, the Han State has only occupied the Wu State for two years, and it is impossible for the people of the Wu State to be won over by Yang Zilu so quickly! And a long war will disgust the people of Wu who have been fighting all year round. At the same time, the national strength of our Chu State is not comparable to that of the Han State. Once the time drags on, first of all, Yang Zilu's allies, their hearts will be scattered, thinking of returning to China. And the Han State is also likely to break out in civil strife, and Yang Zilu will start a war against the Chu State, and it must be resolved quickly. At the very least, there must be continuous victories, so that the restless ambitions of the Han State can be suppressed and the hearts of the allies can be stabilized. But Yang Zilu has been so calm all these days, as if it was like an outing, which shows that he must have a backhand! The only thing the old man thought of was Qin Guo! Except for the Qin State, other countries do not have the ability or free up their hands to affect the national strength of our Chu State! ”

"This ...... Qin Guo is quite friendly with us, shouldn't it? Ziguo said hesitantly.

Shen Baoxu sneered and said, "Although there is affection between the princes and the princes, it is more about interests!" Now the Qin State has the Jin State in the east, the Chu State in the south, and the West and North are all barbaric. Is the Qin State willing to be trapped in the Weishui area? No way! In this way, the current Chu State is the best target for them! ”

Ye Gong nodded with an ugly face and said, "What Shen Gong said is very true, I was negligent this time, and there are probably four thousand soldiers and horses in Hanzhong." And the cities in the upper reaches of the Han River were all taken away by the needle Yin Gu to confront the Han army! If the Qin army invades at this time, the state of Chu ......"

"Immediately send someone to inform the rear and ask them to recruit people in the Yanying area. Immediately let the needle Yin Gu send troops to Hanzhong to garrison! There is Rushui in the sky, and with the current strength of Yin Gu, the transfer of 120,000 people is enough to defend the west bank of Rushui! The only thing I can pray for now is to be in time! Shen Baoxu looked at the place where Hanzhong was written on the map, and his heart was worried.

Ye Gong didn't say much, and immediately took out a few arrows, rushed out of the big tent, and gave instructions to his own soldiers.
