Chapter 123: Reinforcements Arrive (Second Watch)

Guan Ying couldn't help laughing when he heard the so-called 'gift', and immediately shouted at the city: "The people in the city listen, my lord is kind, and there is a special meeting gift to give to Chen Sheng, and a letter, who dares to come and take it?" ”

"Gifts?" Zhang He was stunned in the city, and the other Zhang Chubing were also confused, Zheng Huan, who was scolded just now, was going to give gifts again, what was his intention?

Wu Xu hugged his fists and said: "General, there must be fraud, leave them alone." ”

"He said it was for the king, and there was a letter, so what if it really delayed something?" Deng said it was more thoughtful.

Zhou He pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Come on, take a bamboo basket and a rope." ”

"No." The soldiers behind him listened to the order, and immediately turned around and left, and got off the city wall.

After a while, he turned back, pulling a bamboo basket and a long rope, Zhang He took it, tied the rope to the bamboo basket, and then slowly put the bamboo basket down.

"Put things in the bamboo basket." Zhang He shouted at the irrigation baby outside the city.

Guan Ying laughed, and motioned to the soldier next to him to take the wooden box, and then the soldier rode to the bamboo basket under the city wall, put the wooden box in, and turned around and ran back into the formation.

Seeing this, Zhang He slowly pulled the rope, and saw that there was a wooden box in the bamboo basket, and his face couldn't help showing a strange look.

Finally, he turned his head to Wu Xu and said, "You send this to the king, please make a decision." ”

"Okay."

Soon, Wu Xu took the wooden box down to the city, rode to King Chen's mansion, entered the mansion, and when he saw Queen Chen, he told him about the situation outside the city.

"He's going to cut off the head of a lonely man as a night pot? Damn it! Chen Sheng's face was full of anger, since the beginning of the army, he has ascended to the sky from a commoner to a king, and what he heard was compliments and respect, how could he have been so insulted.

"There is also a wooden box here, saying that it is a gift from Zhao Jun to the king." Wu Xu lifted the wooden box in his arms above his head.

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, motioned to the palace official next to him to step forward and take it, and finally handed it to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng opened the wooden box, his face was stunned, and finally the things in the wooden box were slowly shaken away, and it was a woman's clothes.

Wu Xu and the palace officials in the palace were stunned when they saw this, how could Zhao Jun give the king a woman's clothes?

In the end, Chen Sheng saw a bamboo slip again, opened it and saw that it was written: "Chen Sheng woman, the turtle can't shrink, this book is specially given you a dress, I don't know if you wear it properly?" Ben also wanted to send some rouge, but there were no women in the army, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

"Poof" Chen Sheng's face turned red, and he spit out a mouthful of blood suddenly, and then the hand that grabbed the woman's clothes burst out, his face was hideous like a beast, and he howled: "Zhao Jun, the deception is too much!" ”

Then Chen Sheng stood up and tore the dress the woman was wearing with three strokes and five divisions.

After that, he suddenly drew his sword and wanted to order the whole army to attack.

However, then he suddenly thought of the gap between his military strength in the city and the Zhao army, hesitated for a while, and finally sat down unwillingly.

After a while, Chen Sheng's eyes bloomed with a poisonous snake-like glint of darkness, and he said fiercely: "Zhao Jun, sooner or later, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces." ”

In the end, Chen Sheng said to Wu Xu in a deep voice: "Go to the city gate to give an order, no one is allowed to fight without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

"No." Wu Xu agreed and strode away.

When he returned to the city wall, he said to Zhang He: "The king has an order, and no one is allowed to fight without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

"Yes." Zhang He nodded, and then passed on the order, and made up his mind to keep it.

In the following days, the Qin army under the command of Zhao Jun took turns to come out of the formation, scolding Zhang Chujun, Chen Sheng came to the city several times to inspect and was scolded for being bloody, and he almost couldn't help but go out of the city, but in the end he still held back

Three days later, Qin Junshuai was in the tent.

"Damn, this Chen Sheng can really bear it, but he's really a turtle with a shrunken head." Cao Wushu said angrily, they have been scolding happily these days, but unfortunately they are tired.

Zhao Jun smiled, Chen Sheng is indeed stoic, and he has some ways, otherwise he would not have become King Chen from a commoner and became the leader of the first peasant uprising in history.

"Master Hou, there is a situation." At this time, suddenly Zhou Chang walked into the handsome tent, hugged his fists and said: "Master Hou, reinforcements have been found in the east, south and west of Chen County. ”

"Sure enough, it came." Zhao Jun's expression was straight, and finally said, "Be specific." ”

Zhou Chang said: "To the east is Liu Bang's 10,000 horses, well-equipped and well-organized, and to the south is Lu Chen, who has 4,000 horses, but these horses seem to be stronger than the other soldiers and horses of the anti-thieves, and Deng Zong sent 5,000 men and horses from Jiujiang, and Zhaoping in the west also brought back 4,000 men and horses, most of which are mainly infantry." ”

Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this, Liu Bang had been planning for several years because of the help of Zhao Gao's remnants, and it was not surprising that he could have his current strength, and then Lu Chen's soldiers and horses were a little strange.

Lu Ze said worriedly at this time: "Master Hou, there are a total of 23,000 people coming to help this time, plus the original number of people in Chen County has exceeded 50,000, I'm afraid the situation is not good." ”

Yingbu said proudly: "That's not necessarily, the soldiers are not expensive, our soldiers can fight one against five, can they?" ”

Guan Ying followed: "They also have a weakness, that is, there must be gaps in the various departments that come to support, and if they can't cooperate seamlessly, there will be flaws." ”

"What you said is right, it depends on Chen Sheng's performance tomorrow." Zhao Jun smiled, and finally shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on my general's order, the whole army will recuperate for a day, and prepare to leave the camp tomorrow to fight with Zhang Chujun." ”

"No!" The generals agreed

That night, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life finally arrived, and the soldiers and horses of Chen Sheng's generals went directly into the city to meet King Chen.

And Liu Bang's soldiers and horses were camped on the east side of the city gate, leaving Zhang Liang and Ren Ao to guard the camp, and he took Fan Hao into the city for a banquet.

In King Chen's palace, the cups were staggered, Chen Sheng and Cai Ci, as well as the generals who came to support, drank happily, especially for Liu Bang, Chen Sheng admired it very much, and drank with him repeatedly.

Cai Ci also gave a toast to Liu Bang, and said with a smile: "Pei Gong is righteous, raise troops to help, my king is overjoyed, although you can rest assured that you should have grain and grass, I will let my subordinates allocate it." ”

"Haha, Liu Ji has long admired Mr. 's name, and it is Mr. Chen's reputation to come to help this time, and King Chen is the head of the world's righteous army, even if Liu Ji risks his life, he will definitely protect the king's safety." Liu Ji got cheap, so he naturally did not hesitate to praise it.

Cai Ci smiled and nodded, and Chen Sheng was even more angry by the sentence 'the head of the world's righteous army'.

In the end, Chen Sheng laughed and said: "Okay, if you come to help, tomorrow you will go out of the city to fight to the death with the Zhao army, and you will be ashamed." ”

"I want to help the king." Lu Chen and the others shouted one after another.

Liu Bang frowned and wanted to speak against it, but after looking at Chen Sheng's demeanor, he was silent again.

After the banquet dispersed, Liu Bang found Cai Ci privately and asked, "Sir, today I see that King Chen has a lot of resentment towards Zhao Jun, why is this so?" ”

"Well, it's a long story." Cai Ci sighed and told him about the Qin army's agitation a few days ago.

"Oh, I see, the barracks are busy, so I'll take my leave first." Liu Bang was puzzled for a while after hearing this, and finally didn't understand it, so he simply went back to discuss it with Zhang Liang.

Cai Ci arched his hand and said, "Pei Gong walks slowly." ”

Soon, Liu Bang returned to the military camp in the east of the city with Fan Xu, and urgently summoned Zhang Liang to tell him what he knew.

In the end, Liu Bang was puzzled: "Ofan, I always feel that this matter is leaking strange, plus us, although King Chen now has nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that it is not cheap to go out of the city to fight." ”

Zhang Liang nodded, pondered for a moment, went over the matter in his mind from beginning to end, and finally suddenly lost his voice and said: "What a clever method of agitation, one link after another, the people's hearts and timing are just right, if Zhao Jun comes up with it, it is enough to prove that he is a military genius, if not, there must be a master in his army." ”

"What kind of agitation?" Fan Hao asked next to him, and similarly, Liu Bang also had questions.

Zhang Liang explained: "It's the fierce King Chen, they have already calculated our group of reinforcements, and want to wipe us out in the wild, although it seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to grasp it, ordinary people can't think of it at all, they will only think about how to capture the city before the reinforcements arrive, alas, I really didn't expect that women's clothes can be used like this, just this plan, Zhao Jun is enough to become famous." ”

"Zhao Jun is so powerful?" Liu Bang became jealous, and finally asked, "That ovary, do you have a way to crack it?" ”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "This strategy is to make Chen Wangzhi complacent, and he can't stand the insult, so he can only try to persuade King Chen tomorrow, if it really doesn't work, we will move the soldiers and horses forward to prevent the Zhao army from taking advantage of the city."
