"Li Cheng, the king of Anling, has actually come to Nanyang County, Jingzhou?"

"King Anling?"

"Li Cheng? Could it be the fifth son of the emperor? That's not ......"

When Xie An told the generals of the Great Liang Army that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, might have led the Imperial Tomb Dragon Nuwei to the southern county of Jingzhou, the generals of the Great Liang Army looked at each other in shock.

"What do you mean?" Liang Cheng, the chief general of the Great Liang Army, turned his eyes to Liu Qing, the commander of the three armies of the Zhou Army.

It's no wonder, after all, Liu Qing's military advisor was personally appointed by Xie An, and moreover, in the previous few battles, Liu Qing had also proved to the generals of the Great Liang Army that she was indeed sincere in helping Zhou Jun, so he naturally wanted to listen to Liu Qing's opinion.

Looking at the expectant eyes of Liang Cheng and other generals of the Great Liang Army, Liu Qing smiled faintly in her heart, of course she knew what these generals were struggling with, it was nothing more than that she didn't want Li Cheng, the king of Anling, to come over at this stall to grab the credit.

Thinking about it, I think they followed Xie An from Guangling in Jiangdong, fought with the Taiping Army and the Three Kings along the way, experienced the Battle of Hukou, the Battle of Xiakou, the Battle of Jiangling, and now the Battle of Nanjun, during which they paid a heavy price and finally pushed the war to the end. As long as the last feudal king, Li Shen, the king of Qin, was annihilated, the entire rebellion of the three kings could be completely ended. And at this last moment, Li Chengmao, the king of Anling, rashly ran out to grab the credit, and the generals of the Great Liang Army naturally felt unhappy.

It's not that the generals of the Great Liang Army are petty, you must know that it is a great military achievement, not to mention that in their opinion, Li Shen, the king of Qin, is dead, and all that is left is the general of the Baishui Army under his command, Zhen Lei, and more than 50,000 Baishui troops, and then there are tens of thousands of rebel army. The most difficult time has passed, and the rest is almost equivalent to the credit of picking up for nothing, which is something that everyone will be blushing at. Of course, except for a first-class official like Xie An, who has been promoted to the first rank of the DPRK and China.

Regarding the thoughts of the great Liang Jun, Liu Qing smiled lightly.

In fact, Liu Qing was more concerned about another doubt than whether to pursue the rebel army that tried to retreat back to Hanzhong.

What a coincidence......

"......" Under the expectant gaze of the generals in the room, Liu Qing paced slowly, and her two beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Liu Qing did not respond to Liang Cheng's words for a long time, Xie An coughed and reminded her, after all, it was obvious that several generals of the Great Liang Army could not bear it anymore.

"Huh? What the? Liu Qing glanced at everyone in the room as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Seeing this, Liang Cheng had no choice but to repeat Fang Cai's words again.

"The last general has the courage to speak, and asks the military division to allow the last general and others to go out of the camp to pursue the rebel army! -- After it crosses the Zhuangzi River and is close to Jingshan and Jingshan, the road conditions will be rugged and difficult, and it will be inconvenient for our cavalry to catch up......"

"That's ......" Liu Qing nodded silently, and only then did he hesitate to say after half a salary, "That's it!" You wait to go and reorganize the troops and horses, and let the military division think about it again......"

What else is there to think about?

The rebel army was afraid of the reinforcements of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, and hastily planned to withdraw to Hanzhong, and could not even bother to avenge their lord's gazette, and as an army, it had almost completely lost its will to fight. As long as they can catch up with their retreating troops, it will obviously be a big victory, and even take this opportunity to capture and kill the three major commanders of the White Water Army in one fell swoop.

What do you need to think about with this kind of ugly fighter for a thousand years?

Xie An saw something from Liu Qing's expression, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, since the military advisor said so, you can retreat and rectify the soldiers and horses first, don't be in a hurry to pursue!" -- It's just a delay in a military order! ”

Xie An is a first-class member of the DPRK and the commander of this army after all, seeing him say this, although the generals of the Great Liang Army feel a little regretful, but they do not dare to go against Xie An's intentions, and they withdraw from the handsome office after clasping their fists.

Seeing that all the generals had completely withdrawn from the commander's office one after another, Xie An asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Don't you pursue? - Liang Cheng said well, the evil is exhausted, although Li Shen, the king of Qin, is dead, but he has left an heir in Hanzhong, and letting the thunder and the white water army return to Hanzhong is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain! It is better to take advantage of the current turmoil in the morale of the rebel army because of Li Shen's death and the chaos of the reinforcements of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, and kill or capture it! No matter how bad it is, you must leave the generals who can take charge of the situation such as Thunderstorm...... If he misses this opportunity, if he personally leads a group of soldiers and horses to resist the critical pass in Hanzhong, even if the imperial court organizes the conscription of soldiers and horses again, I am afraid that he may not be able to do his best! ”

Liu Qing sneered, glanced at Xie An and said lightly, "Do you think I don't want to completely annihilate this rebel army?" ”

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that Liu Qing had promised him that he would definitely help him annihilate the soldiers and horses of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

"This ...... Anyway, just do your best......" I don't know what came to mind, Xie An's expression looked a little weird.

As if seeing through Xie An's thoughts, Liu Qing snorted coldly and said with disdain, "Less delusional!" - Look at your recent two things...... As the commander of the first army, it is clear that there is still Li Shen, the king of Qin, who has not been removed, but he has only got rid of the king of Chu and the king of Han, so he thinks he can sit back and relax? Can you hug Mei Ji night after night? ”

"......" Xie An smacked his lips speechlessly.

What kind of night* supper, but it just made Kerr sleep for one night, is it so exaggerated?

Xie An shook his head secretly, for some reason, he always felt that these two Liu Qing were particularly aimed at him, he originally thought that Liu Qing would deliberately curry favor with him in order to take revenge on Wu Heng with the power of the Zhou army.

"Isn't this the all-out Liu Qing military division! - It's called knowing people and making good use of them, right? Xie An smiled and said a flattering word.

Liu Qing rolled her eyes when she heard this, how could she not see that Xie An was planning to be lazy?

However, Liu Qing is still very useful for Xie An's praise, after all, Xie An is different from ordinary men, he is the husband of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu is the only rival who has made Liu Qing feel helpless so far.

But then again, for Xie An's so-called good use of knowledge, Liu Qing repaid with strong contempt.

Throw all the hard work to her, and then he can use the saved time to kiss me and Qin Ke'er.

Shame, a dignified member of the Great Zhou Imperial Court......

Liu Qing looked at Xie An with the most contemptuous gaze as much as possible, but unfortunately, the latter was completely inappropriate. In the end, Liu Qing couldn't help it anymore and slowly expressed the concerns in her heart.

"I always felt that the whole thing was too coincidental...... Do you remember that I ambushed a cavalry of 10,000 men near Penze? ”

Xie An frowned when he heard this, after all, at that time, Feng He's 10,000 cavalry of the Great Liang Army was ambushed by Liu Qing and finally the whole army was annihilated, even if it was a long time later, Xie An still remembered it in his heart. After all, Feng He's appearance at that time really impressed him.

"You mean...... That thunder withdrew this time, most likely to lure us to go deeper? Planning to ambush our army on the way? ”

I have to say that although Xie An said that his resourcefulness was not as good as that of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liu Qing, when it came to reaction, he was not inferior to the two. Hearing its strings and knowing its elegant meaning, one sentence clarified the deep meaning of Liu Qing's words.

"I can't rule out this possibility......" Looking at Xie An, Liu Qingzheng said, "In fact, even I don't dare to guarantee whether Li Shen, the king of Qin, is really dead......

As soon as the words fell, Xie An didn't have time to speak, and Qin Ke'er next to him said in surprise, "Could it be that Li Shen, the king of Qin, is not dead?" - I won't talk about it last time, but this time, it was Liu Qing's sister who designed it herself! In this way, Li Shen can actually guess? ”

It's no wonder that Qin Ke'er's face was full of shock, after all, she had already seen the two corpses of Li Shen, the king of Qin, so if Li Shen was still alive...... She couldn't imagine it.

"That's what I said, but ......" Glancing at Xie An and Qin Ke'er, Liu Qing frowned and said, "It stands to reason that Li Shen, the king of Qin, should have been killed, but for some reason, there seems to be a voice in my heart that keeps telling me that that guy is still alive...... It's incredible! ”

-- At the same time, Lingling --

"What? Gut feeling? ”

In the upper room of a mansion, Jin Ling'er sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her suspiciously while taking the pulse of her eldest grandson Xiangyu. Because the eldest grandson Xiangyu just said some theories that she didn't understand.

"Precisely, it should be the intuition of a strategist! -- Bold assumptions and speculations based on known information......"

"......" Jin Ling'er looked inexplicable.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu sighed secretly and explained slowly, "It's like a little sister, when I first arrived in my husband's army a few years ago, and just took over the battle with Liu Qing, my little sister guessed from the march map in the house that the final battle between me and her will start in the decisive valley!" - At that time, the concubine couldn't guess Liu Qing's girl's thoughts, if she didn't cooperate with me, then the final battle might be in Jiangling, maybe in the southern camp of our army at that time...... Say badly! ”

Jin Ling'er frowned when she heard this, it seemed that most of the more she listened, the more confused she became, and after thinking for a long time, she asked tentatively, "Intuition...... The same instinct as that tigress? The tigress in her mouth is obviously referring to her roommate, Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance.

"Of course not!" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, denied it and said angrily, "Her intuition ...... It's purely the beast's intuition when it smells the crisis, what the concubine said, it's the intuition of a wise man, it seems to be out of reality, but there are traces of careful calculation, but not everyone has this talent......"

"It doesn't seem to be as intuitive as that tigress......" Jin Ling'er said as if she didn't understand.

"......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu pouted vaguely unwillingly when she heard the words, because in fact, her so-called intuition was indeed far inferior to the innate talent of Liang Qiu Dance. And this is precisely one of the points of her secret jealousy of Liangqiu Dance in her heart. After all, in her opinion, an outstanding strategist must not only understand the art of war, but also have superhuman intuition, and be able to see subtle changes that others can't see, that is, insight.

And when it comes to insight, Liang Qiu Wu, who is engrossed in reaching the realm of selflessness, has the grasp of the battlefield situation, that is, insight, which is a talent that even the eldest Sun Xiangyu can hardly match.

By using intuition to crack the schemes of others, the will of the individual is even above the art of war that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the wisdom of the saints...... Joke! It seems that if there are a few more such monsters in the world, those military advisors and strategists in the world, they will still be alive?

Fortunately, Liangqiu Dance can't do this at any time, otherwise, with Changsun Xiangyu's careful eyes that are used to tangling up with something, I'm afraid that he will be depressed and become ill, after all, Liangqiu Dance's insight is the talent that Changsun Xiangyu is most eager to have as a military advisor.

But as a result, Liang Qiu Wu, who is the most stupid, stupid, and stupid, has this talent, not the smart and witty her......

God is so unfair!

The eldest grandson Xiangyu complained indignantly in her heart, after all, in her opinion, it was a waste to give that talent to Liangqiu Wu, to make up for the shortcomings of a stupid woman in wisdom? Obviously, her eldest grandson, Xiangyu, is the wizard who can give full play to this talent......

"Ahem!" Jin Ling'er coughed and interrupted the eldest grandson Xiangyu's unjust move. Although Jin Ling'er is actually not smart, she can't even see the obvious annoyance in the eyes of the eldest Sun Xiangyu, and after comforting her, she changed the topic and picked up on the previous words of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and asked, "Sister Xiangyu, do you mean, that little girl Liu Qing also has this talent?" - The ...... you are talking about. Insight? ”

The eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded, and said quite sincerely, "Well, although it is not as good as Xiao Wu, it seems to be on par with the slave family......

Jin Ling'er smiled when she heard this, and said softly, "That's good...... If that little girl Liu Qing is really as capable as Sister Xiangyu said, you and I don't have to worry about it at night...... Although Ding Qiu and He Tao are there, the concubine is still a little relieved, now it's okay! - Liu Qing, that little girl, will definitely be able to defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin, right? ”

"Not necessarily!" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, shook his head.

"Huh?" Jin Ling'er was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Didn't Sister Xiangyu say that Liu Qing's little girl is more powerful than Li Shen, King of Qin?" Can't win the war? - Could it be that Li Shen, the king of Qin, is so difficult? ”

"Huh!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Difficult? Not really! Among the princes of that year, Li Shen was the most forbearant and cunning, but the problem was not here...... It's Liu Qing herself! ”

"In herself?"

"Not bad! -- The husband once said to the concubine that if everything that is impossible is excluded, the rest, no matter how absurd or incredible, is the result of the matter! In the slave family, this sentence refers to insight...... But Liu Qing ......" Eldest Sun Xiangyu exhaled, a little worry appeared in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "In the past, she could defeat Li Shen nine times out of ten, but now, I'm afraid that only five or five times lost......"

"Why is that?"

"Because, she lost to the slave family......"

"Huh?" Jin Ling'er was confused.

Glancing up at the rooftop, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said, "For a strategist, this is quite deadly!" - She still lost to the slave family despite all her might, and this kind of defeat will be frustrating...... She trusts her instincts, but eventually loses to the slave family, which makes her suspicious and hesitant...... Battlefield decision-making, the situation is changing rapidly, how can indecision seize the best opportunity? - She lost to the slave family because she was not as knowledgeable as the concubine, and her thinking and strategy were not as thorough as the concubine's, but it was not because her intuition was wrong...... If she can't figure this out, if she can't believe in her instincts as before, and she always has doubts about her intuition because she lost to her concubine, then that's the end of it...... There are distractions, even if it is Liu Qing's girl, she may not be able to fight against Li Shen, the king of Qin! - Li Shen, the king of Qin, succeeded the former crown prince Li Wei, and was already worthy of the talent of a king...... No ordinary person! ”

-- At the same time, in Yuquan Mountain, about 12 miles northwest of Maicheng--

"It seems that the Zhou army doesn't plan to go out of the camp immediately to pursue!"

On the top of Yuquan Mountain, Chen Zhao, the commander of the First Army of the White Water Army, crossed his arms and watched the Ice City, the main camp of the Zhou Army, in the distance, and then glanced at the two standing in front of him.

Li Shen, King of Qin......

The general of the White Water Army is thundering......

"Don't worry, it'll come!" Probably hearing Chen Zhao's words, King Li Shen of Qin turned his head and smiled slightly, and said very firmly, "This king has designed it so carefully for her, it stands to reason that she will definitely fall for the ......."

From the side, Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army of the White Water Army, unconsciously glanced at the lord he was loyal to.

It is undeniable that the design of Li Shen, the king of Qin, can be called interlocking and leaky, since he first saw that something was wrong from Qi Zhi's personal plan, he threw out the first shadow guard, and a few times ago he guessed Liu Qing's night attack, and once again threw out a valuable shadow guard, and then took advantage of the fact that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, entered Jingzhou, and pretended to withdraw his troops to lure the Zhou soldiers, Huang Shou did not think that anyone could see through the links.

But......

Your Highness's appetite is so great......

actually planned to annihilate the Zhou army in one go......

Although it was a huge loss that was irreparable for His Highness to abandon the two precious shadow guards, it was ......

After thinking about it, Huang Shou still couldn't help but persuade, "Your Highness, the last general feels that His Highness's strategy is indeed ingenious, but if you want to use this to eradicate the entire Zhou army, I'm afraid it's a little ......."

"This king also knows the principle of gradual progress, the problem is that there is a guy who is menacing, and he can't wait to cut off the head of this king immediately......" As if seeing through Huang Shou's thoughts, Li Shen, the king of Qin, frowned and said, "According to the news from the north, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, is only nine hundred miles away from Dangyang...... It's just a joke! If the Zhou army cannot be completely annihilated within these ten rì, I am afraid that this king will have to withdraw his troops and return to Hanzhong......"

Speaking of this, King Qin Li Shen frowned slightly, and the generals beside him were also silent. After all, they knew very well that if Li Shen, the king of Qin, was really forced to retreat to Hanzhong by Li Cheng and Xie An, this rebellion provoked by Li Shen and the other three kings would undoubtedly be defeated. In this way, although Li Shen may still be able to hold Hanzhong, if he wants to go out of Yan, Henan, and Jing Prefectures, and then chase the Central Plains and win the world, it is obvious that there will be no longer this opportunity. Even, once the imperial court defeated the Taiping army Wu Heng in Jiangdong, and attacked Hanzhong again in the coming year, Li Shen, the dignified king of Qin, may not even be able to keep Hanzhong.

"To introduce the Zhou army into the Jing and Jing Mountains and set up an ambush to attack them, we must do our best...... Annihilate the Zhou army! ”

Looking at the ice city where the Zhou army was the main camp in the distance, a trace of fierceness flashed in the eyes of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

"This ...... It's my last chance! ”
