Chapter 327: The Book of Battle
April is the season of obscene rain.
Although the cavalry of the Chu State stationed outside the south gate of Pengcheng, the defenders at the head of the city did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
On the watchtower, a Huainan elementary school with a knife on his waist was pacing back and forth.
Since the alliance with the Chu State, Huainan Wang Yingbu has purchased a lot of ring-headed knives from the Chu State, in addition to the 30,000 forbidden troops, and also equipped all the junior colonels above the length of the Huainan army with the ring-headed knives.
Yingbu also thought about making his own ring head knife, or even a horizontal knife, but eventually gave up.
It's not that the craftsmen of Huainan can't create a ring head knife or a horizontal knife, but the process of creating a ring head knife and a horizontal knife is too complicated and time-consuming, and Yingbu has mobilized thousands of craftsmen to build it day and night, but it is only a few thousand Liao Liao built in a year, and the price is too great, so it is better to buy it directly from Chu State.
The knife-making process of the Chu State was obviously superior to that of the Huainan State, not only with a larger output, but also with better quality, and Yingbu also thought about stealing the knife-making technology of the Chu State, but in the end he could not succeed.
At a certain moment, Huainan Elementary School, which was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped.
Colonel Huainan listened for a moment and asked the soldier beside him, "Did you hear that?" ”
More than a dozen armored soldiers nearby listened to each other, faintly, they seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and raised their heads suddenly, only to see a group of Chu cavalry in the black pressure had galloped out of the vast rain curtain in front, and a Chu knight who even covered his armor in the iron armor came to the suspension bridge and shouted: "General Bishu of the Great Chu Wei, ask to see the King of Huainan!" ”
"You wait." Colonel Huainan shouted, "Wait for the villain to pass the general, and then make a decision!" ”
"Go now, go back!" The ironclad knight outside the city said coldly, "Don't miss the military plane!" ”
Colonel Huainan snorted and hurried downstairs.

Huainan Palace.
Yingbu picked up the pasta on the table and sniffed it, and finally put it down, since yesterday evening he learned that the chief general of the Chu army was a little-known scholar, Yingbu had no appetite at all, and he didn't even close his eyes all night.
Kui Che said: "King, you have to eat some, you don't have the energy to eat enough." ”
Ying said: "Prime Minister, who is this Bishu? What does Xiang Zhuang think?! ”
Yingbu couldn't figure it out, why did Xiang Zhuang let a scholar who had never been on the battlefield and had never led a soldier lead the army to lead the army and hand over an army of more than 100,000 to such a person, isn't this child's play?
Kui Che said: "King, this Bishu is indeed a scholar, he has never led a soldier or fought a war, but he ......"
Over the years, Kuaicher has almost forgotten Bi Shu, but yesterday after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Kuai Che finally recalled the scene ten years ago, ten years ago, this Bi Shu almost stayed in Huainan Kingdom, but in the end, this guy still went to Chu State, Kuai Che now thinks back, or choke.
"But how?" Ying preached, "What is the origin of this man? ”
Kui Che said: "The king may not remember, the minister had introduced this person to the king, but unfortunately by mistake, this person finally went to the Chu State, as far as the minister knows, this person is a Guiguzimen person, although he has never led the army and has never been on the battlefield, but he is well versed in the art of war, very strategic, given time, this person should be a general." ”
Ying Bu said: "If time is the talent of a general, at least not yet, right?" ”
For the so-called Guigumen people, Yingbu is a little disapproving, no matter what, Xiang Zhuang is also experienced in a hundred battles, doesn't he understand that the real commander has always been fought on the battlefield, not from reading, and a great teacher can become a general? It's just a joke. …,
Kui Che said: "Xiang Zhuang's move may have other plans. ”
"Something else?" Yingbu said disapprovingly, "What? ”
Kui Che said: "King, don't you think that King Qi is a little underestimated? ”
Ying Bu sighed and didn't speak, this time against the Qi army, he really felt that Han Xin was a little different from before, if it was replaced by the previous Han Xin, how could he still be slow to move? I'm afraid that before the reinforcements of the Chu State arrive, the army of the Qi State will already launch a thunderous onslaught on Pengcheng.
In the past, Han Xinbing rarely gave people a chance to breathe.
But now, Han Xin doesn't know if it's because he's been in a high position for a long time, or because he's used to being pampered, or because he has won too many battles and is a little numb, so he doesn't take the world's heroes seriously.
Thinking of this, Yingbu's heart suddenly moved slightly, and said, "Prime Minister, you mean ......?"
Kui Che nodded and said, "That's right, if this Bi Shu is not a man who talks on paper, but a great talent with real skills, plus Han Xin's carelessness of the enemy, then the outcome of this battle is really unpredictable." ”
While the two monarchs and ministers were talking, Ma Ye, the curber, suddenly entered the interior and said, "The king, General Chu Guowei asks to see him." ”
"Bishu's army has arrived?!" Yingbu couldn't help but glance at Kui Che, and was talking about him, this person came, and then Yingbu instructed Ma Yedao, "Hurry up, please." ”
Ma Ye bowed and withdrew, and after a while, he led a white-clothed scholar in his thirties into the hall.
Seeing the white-clothed Xiushi, Kuaiche immediately recognized Bi Shu, and Bi Shu also recognized Kuaiche at the same time, and immediately Chong Yingbu and Kuaiche successively bowed their hands and said: "In the next Bishu, see King Huainan, and see Brother Zitong." ”
Yingbu waved his hand in return, but Kuaiche returned the salute with a long wave, and Yingbu solemnly invited Bi Shu to enter the table, Bi Shu flicked his sleeves and entered the banquet freely.
Kui Che said with emotion: "Brother Xuejian, I haven't seen you for ten years, I didn't expect you to really become the general of the Chu State." ”
Bi Shu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zitong, you and I have time to talk about the past, now, let's discuss how to force Han Xin's 400,000 army back." ”
Kuaiche bowed his head slightly, and Bi Shu used the word forced retreat, instead of defeating, which shows that his mind is still quite sober.
Yingbu was hesitant in his heart, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking, and he said coldly at the moment: "The widow has thanked the general and the Chu army for their help, but Han Xin's soldiers are unmatched in the world, and it is not easy to force the Qi army to retreat, I don't know what kind of high opinion General Bi has to teach the widow?" ”
"Don't dare." Bi Shu sat up on his knees and waved to Yingbu, and said, "I just have a not very mature idea below, and I also ask King Huainan and Brother Zitong to give advice." ”
Yingbu exchanged glances with Kuaicher, and said indifferently: "I want to hear it." ”
Bi Shu smiled slightly, and did not feel the slightest annoyance because of the uncertain look on Yingbu's face, and immediately told Yingbu, Kuaicher and Panpan his ideas, Yingbu listened to it but his face changed greatly, Kuaiche was even more shocked, the two really didn't expect that Bi Shu would have such courage, he was planning to face Han Xin head-on!

At the same time, more than a dozen Chu cavalry were galloping towards the Qi army camp in the northern suburbs, and the first horse in the dozens of Chu horses was holding an envoy talisman, so the Qi army scouts and rangers along the way did not intercept it, and let them approach the camp, and there were less than 100 steps away from the Yuanmen, and finally someone shouted to stop them.
"Come and stop, go further, kill and kill!"
The first horse raised the talisman in his hand and said proudly: "On the order of General Da Chuwei, come and write a war letter to the King of Qi!" ”
There was a small commotion in the Qi army in the gate, and then the closed gate suddenly opened, and hundreds of cavalry of the Qi State surged out of it like a flood that broke the embankment, and surrounded the more than ten Chu horsemen outside the gate, and the war horses of more than ten Chu horses were neighed again and again, but the knights on horseback were fearless. …,

King Qi's big tent, Han Xin finally woke up.
After listening to Cao Shen and Lou Jing's reports, Han Xin said lightly: "This bishu is just a shaft, why worry?" Xiang Zhuang takes this person as a general, but it is child's play, since Xiang Zhuang does not care about the life and death of the soldiers of Chu State, how can the widow be polite? This time, the widow wanted to destroy the 300,000 Chu army together with the Huainan army, and then take advantage of the situation to take Jiangdong directly. ”
Cao Shen and Lou Jing's hearts sank when they heard this, and what they were most worried about still happened.
Han Xin seemed to guess what the two of them were thinking, and said lightly: "Cao Shen, Lou Jing, you don't have to think too much, this is not a light enemy, let alone carelessness, the reason why the troops have not moved in the past few days and have to wait for the arrival of the reinforcements of the Chu State before making a move, is because the art of war is cloudy, because it is complicated and simplified, that is to say, the situation that can be solved by simple methods must not be complicated, and the opponent who can be solved at one time must not be divided into two to solve." ”
While speaking, Su Weilang put Cao Wei into the tent and reported: "King, the envoy of the Chu army asks to see you." ”
"Envoy of the Chu army?" Han Xin frowned and said, "Interesting, please let him in." ”
Cao Qi took the order and left, and after a while, he led a Chu army general with a large figure and heavy armor into the big tent.
After the Chu army entered the big tent, he just went there like an iron tower, and did not salute Han Xin, and then waved obliquely to the south, and said proudly: "By the order of General Chu Wei, I have come to issue a war letter!" ”
After that, the Chu army took out another letter from the soft armor on his chest.
Cao Xiao snorted, reached out and took the letter from General Chu Junxiao's hand, and took two steps forward to hand it to Han Xin.
Han Xin read the letter, the corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed a trace of disdain and sneer, what was written in the letter turned out to be the Chu army commander Bi Shu invited him to go to the southern suburbs tomorrow to break the formation, at that moment Han Xin said coldly: "Extremely arrogant, a shaft, relying on reading a few military books, learning a little formation skin, even dare to get an axe?" Dare to fight with the widow? I just don't know whether to live or die. ”
After a pause, Han Xin said to General Chu Jun again: "Go back and tell Bi Shu, just say that this war book has been taken by the widow, and tomorrow, the widow should personally lead the army to break the formation!" ”
