As soon as the army of Chu arrived, Lu County was defeated.

This matter has to start with the late King of Qi Han Xin, two Surabaya battles, Han Xin twice dried up and fished, from the wealthy families of Qi, the common people forcibly requisitioned a large amount of military rations, so that the people were boiling, with one word to describe the mood of the people of Lu County at this time, that is, happy, they were looking forward to the Chu army sooner rather than a day.

When Xiang Zheng and Gao Lang appeared outside Lu County surrounded by five hundred tiger guards, Tian Mu, the county commander of Lu County, had already waited on the left side of the road with dozens of subordinate officials and local squires with heads and faces, and on the incense case on one side, there was still a head, but it was the head of the Xue County Guard sent by Han Qi, the king of Qi.

"Meet the Prince!" Seeing Xiang Zheng from a distance, Tian Mu and others bowed their heads.

Xiang Zheng hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Tian Mu up, and then said to the subordinate officials and squires who knelt down behind Tian Mu: "Everyone, don't do such a big salute, please get up, please get up quickly." ”

"Prince, it can be regarded as looking forward to the king's master." Tian Mu got up and sighed with emotion.

Behind Tian Mu, many squires have even been in tears, speaking of which this Lu County was once Xiang Yu's fiefdom, there are many old and young remnants of the Chu State in the county, and now they are finally waiting for the Chu army, how can they not sigh? There are also those merchants and merchants, who are even more excited, they are the ones who are most eager for the rule of Chu.

At that time, the army entered the city, and Tian Mu set up a feast in the county government to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Xiang Zheng.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Xiang Zheng returned to the military camp outside the city.

The attendant served Yan tea, and Xiang Zheng waved it back. Then asked Gao Lang, who knelt down and sat down, "Ziliang, you definitely can't guess that this Lu County Ling Tian Mu turned out to be the distant nephew of General Tian Heng." ”

"Oh?" Gao Lang was very witty, and said pointedly, "What did he tell you?" ”

"This guy is also a smart guy, he didn't say it explicitly." Xiang Zheng smiled and shook his head, and then said again. However, the implication of his words has been clearly expressed, and he still has to say that Xue Jun's father hopes that Tian Heng can return to the Qi Kingdom. Hehe, he also said that Tian Heng's return is conducive to the rapid restoration of order in Qidi. ”

Gao Lang smiled: "The second half of his sentence is also true. Tian is a royal family of hundreds of years, the tree has deep roots, and the influence of Qi is by no means comparable to other families, Tian Heng as the old king of Qi, if he returns to Qi is indeed conducive to the recovery of Qi, but whether this is a blessing or a curse for Da Chu, it is difficult to say. ”

In any case, Tian Heng is also one of the heroes of the world, he is always ambitious, and the king of Chu is also wary of him. In the more than ten years since Tian Heng returned to Chu, the king of Chu basically never let him lead troops or go out on expeditions alone.

Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said, "I think that dividing Tian Heng is a blessing rather than a curse, and I will write to my father about this matter." ”

Gao Lang was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask anything. Others don't know Xiang Zheng, but he Gao Lang knows very well, this prince seems to be wooden on the surface, but in fact, he is very beautiful inside, coupled with the earnest teaching of so many princes, his knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people. It's just that he is clumsy in speech and not good at expressing himself.

At that moment, Gao Lang said again: "Zihe, what should I do next?" ”

According to the agreement between Chu and Han, the Chu army could strike after capturing Lu County, but Gao Lang obviously did not intend to abide by the agreement between the two countries, so he asked this question.

"What should I do?" Xiang Zheng said with a smile, "Of course, we will continue to go north and go straight to Linzi." ”

Gao Lang laughed, immediately got up and walked to the screen where the map was hung, pointed to the map and said: "From Lu County to Linzi in the north, there are two roads to go, one is to take the east line, detour to Langxie and Jiaodong to Linzi, but this road has to go around the long road, which takes a lot of time, and then it is to take the western line, from Jibei to Linzi, although this road is close, it is likely to be intercepted by the Han army. Xiang Zheng also got up and walked closer, patted the map and said, "Ziliang, in fact, there is a third way to go." ”

"You mean to cross East Mount Tai (Yishan)?" Gao Lang's eyes lit up, and then he was not without worry, "However, Dongtai Mountain is high and dense, ravines are vertical and horizontal, and there are fierce beasts infested in it, I am afraid it is very difficult to walk." ”

"So, we'll have to divide our troops into two ways." Xiang Zheng said, "Ziliang, you led the army to the western front, attracting the attention of the Han, Han, and Zhao coalition forces, and the march needs to be slowed down to confuse the coalition army's audio-visual experience, but I led 3,000 elite soldiers to cross East Mount Tai and go straight to Linzi, only in this way can it be possible to capture Linzi before the coalition army." ”

"No, it's too dangerous." Gao Lang said categorically, "I'll go to Linzi." ”

"Ziliang, don't fight." Xiang Zheng smiled, "I am not as good as you when it comes to leading the army to win the battlefield and capture the flag, but when it comes to dealing with the situation and using troops to trick, you are not as good as me." ”

Gao Lang was speechless, because what Xiang Zheng said was the truth.

The combined forces of Han, Han and Zhao have been stationed in Lixia for more than ten days.

Zhou Yafu, the chief general of the coalition army, seemed calm and relaxed, neither sent troops to attack the city, nor sent people into the city to persuade him to surrender, and only read the military books in the tent every day, and occasionally his tent would sound a melodious and pleasant Xun sound, not only the generals of Han and Zhao were full of disdain, but even the generals of the Han army also shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Bai Mo took Zhou Yafu as the main general, and the controversy between the soldiers of the coalition army was very great.

In any case, Zhou Yafu is only eighteen years old, a stunned young man who has just become an adult, just because he has read a few military books, just because he is the prime minister's personal disciple, he is qualified to be the commander of the 100,000 army? Isn't that child's play? But if you don't accept it, no one dares to chew on the root of your tongue.

At Bai Mo's suggestion, the King of Han, the King of Han and the King of Zhao all gave Zhou Yafu the king sword, that is to say, Zhou Yafu has the right to dispose of it on the spot, if he offends Zhou Yafu, who knows if this stunned young man will ask Wang Jian to behead them? If you really want to become a ghost under his sword, you can't find a place to complain about grievances.

Bai Yan took a large group of captains, Simas, and military marquis into Zhou Yafu's Chinese army tent.

Bai Yan is the distant nephew of Bai Xuan, the general of Zhao State, and 50,000 of the 100,000 coalition troops are Zhao Jun, it stands to reason that the commander of this coalition army should be served by him Bai Yan, but Bai Xuan was finally persuaded by Bai Mo, although Zhao sent the most troops, but the commander of the coalition army eventually became Zhou Yafu, the commander of the Han army, who only sent 20,000 troops.

"General." Bai Yan glanced at Zhou Yafu and said in a deep voice, "We have been waiting for almost half a month in the calendar, when do we have to wait?" ”

"Yes." Han Ju, the commander of the Han army, stepped forward and said coldly, "The coalition army has only prepared two months' military rations, if it is exhausted under the calendar, what will be used to attack Linzi, the general can't let the soldiers go hungry to attack Linzi, right?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhou Yafu waved his hand and said lightly, "Lixia ditch is deep and the wall is high, and the city defense is strong. ”

"Always in a hurry, always in a hurry." Bai Yan spread his hands and said with fire, "When will it be?" ”

Zhou Yafu's eyes were slightly cold, he glanced at Bai Yan, and said in a deep voice: "When reinforcements arrive, it is the time when the soldiers will take the city without blood!" ”

"Reinforcements? What reinforcements? Bai Yan was stunned and frowned, "The 100,000 coalition troops are here, where are the reinforcements?" ”

"The general can't be talking about the Chu army or the Yan army, right?" Han Ju also said sarcastically, "The general really thinks that the Chu army and the Yan army will be of the same mind as the coalition army? ”

Zhou Yafu said suddenly: "When did General Ben say that the two armies of Chu and Yan would come to support?" ”

Han Ju replied coldly: "In addition to the two armies of Chu and Yan, where are there any reinforcements?" ”

Zhou Yafu put down the military book in his hand, got up and said: "General Ben said yes, then there is!" ”…,

As soon as the words fell, a meteor scout Ma entered the tent and reported: "General Yu, Qi reinforcements have been found thirty miles away!" ”

The generals in the tent suddenly changed their faces when they heard this, and Han Ju sneered even more: "Haha, it's okay now, the reinforcements waiting for the general didn't come, but they waited for the reinforcements from the Qi State." ”

Bai Yan also said with a sad face: "Now we are suffering from the enemy on our backs, and we are in big trouble." ”

"Who said it was Qi reinforcements?" Zhou Yafu laughed loudly, "Hehe, that's clearly our reinforcements, helping us capture the reinforcements in the past!" ”

Under the stunned eyes of the generals, Zhou Yafu took out two golden arrows from the quiver on the case, and shouted: "Bai Yan, Han Ju listen to the order!" ”

Although Bai Yan and Han Ju were full of reluctance, they still stepped forward and arched their hands: "The end will be!" ”

The night was as dark as ink, and there was a dead silence outside the city.

The two Qi army armor soldiers held Changge, trembling and guarding the city, the cold wind was cold, blowing on the face like a knife scraping, the eyes were open for a long time in the cold wind, and they couldn't stop crying, but the two Qi army armor soldiers did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and from time to time they had to throw a torch outside the city, and then poke their heads out.

Keeping vigil in such a cold day, it's really not a fucking human job.

Without warning, a faint firelight suddenly appeared under the dark night sky outside the city, and the two Qi soldiers thought that they were dazzled, so they subconsciously rubbed their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, the firelight was even brighter, and it turned from one point of fire to two points, and then it was four or eight o'clock......

In less than a moment, an endless stream of fire erupted from outside the city.

"Firelight! Enemy attack! Enemies are coming! Blow the trumpet to warn! A night watchman hurriedly raised the short bull horn, and the short and piercing horn of the bull horn rushed into the sky in an instant, and the Qi soldiers who were hiding behind the arrow tower and the female wall to keep warm were awakened one after another, and then picked up the weapons placed around them, and grabbed the battlements in a chaotic manner.

In the barracks under the city, Tian Yao, the former guard general who was lying in armor, also turned over and jumped up.

When Tian Wei took the hundreds of soldiers in the military camp to flock to the top of the city, under the night sky outside the city, the sporadic firelight had already spread into an endless sea of fire, and it was as bright as the firelight of day, and thousands of Han, Han, and Zhao soldiers were swarming towards Lixia.
