Chapter 3099, Troublesome Terrain
"What does Qin Zhoujun want to do?"
Although Zhu Shangde was able to make the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State catch up with the bows and arrows for a whole night, when the troops of the Third Prince Tu Cheng and the Sixth Prince Tulei came down from the high place of the mountain early the next morning and drove the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Guo out of Qingminyuan again, Zhu Shangde was still a little surprised.
Because even if Zhu Shangde was convinced that the Qinzhou army had to stop advancing because he had laid a trap at the exit of Qingmin Yuan in advance, under the condition that he finally introduced the alliance forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State into Qingmin Yuan by using the method of self-defeat, could it be that the Qinzhou army suddenly changed its mind because it was aware of Zhu Shangde's attempt?
And perceiving the intention is perceiving the intent, Zhu Shangde never thought that he could hide the plan to attack the Qinzhou army with bows and arrows to the end, but the Qinzhou army must have its own considerations for changing the plan, but the question is how they think about it, and even what they plan to do in the future.
Then hurriedly rushed from the rear to the front, and saw the Qinzhou army that had occupied the inner side of the Qingmin Plain and separated a narrow exit from the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State, which were equipped with a large number of bows and arrows outside the Qingmin Plain, Zhou Bingqian, the prince of Zhou Huaiguo, said with a strange face: "Huh! Why did the Qinzhou army stop at the entrance and not attack out? Are they worried about the traps or the arrows that our army has laid? But in this case, it seems that our army's bows and arrows will not be able to exert much power! ”
"Bows and arrows don't exert much power? I see......"
Although Zhou Bingqian's self-talk does not have any special significance, it is just to express his inner feelings. But under the reminder that Zhou Bingqian is not a reminder. Zhu Shangde's eyes suddenly had a sense of relief and pity.
After all, if you don't know about the conspiracy of the Qinzhou Army, or even if you can't come up with the means to restrain the conspiracy of the Qinzhou Army, the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State, which are already slightly inferior in combat power, are destined not to be the opponents of the Qinzhou Army.
But maybe he didn't think about it so much, but when he heard that Zhu Shangde seemed to have an understanding, Zhou Bingqian immediately asked: "What did Master Zhu say?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise! …… But as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, under the condition that the scale of our army's bow and arrow attack was restrained by using the entrance of Qingmin Yuan, the Qinzhou army is now forcing us to evacuate! ”
"Forcing us to evacuate? Is it because we can't attack the Qinzhou army with bows and arrows? It's not ......"
Halfway through the words, Zhou Bingqian, the crown prince of Zhou Huaiguo, closed his lips.
Because why did the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State rush to produce a large number of bows and arrows overnight, the reason is that in addition to bows and arrows, even if the Qinzhou army retreated to the mountain cliff in the Qingmin Plain by itself. The combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin still did not have much way to attack the forces of the Third Prince Tu Cheng and the Sixth Prince Tu Lei.
Therefore, after the Qinzhou army used the Qingmin original entrance to limit the scale of the bows and arrows of the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State. Perhaps the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State can continue to restrict the entry and exit of the Qinzhou army with bows and arrows, but in the current form of Jiangyu Kingdom, the third prince Tu Cheng and the sixth prince Tu Lei can wait, but the Zhou Huai State and the Yulin State alliance army cannot wait.
Otherwise, when Emperor Qin Tulang began to attack Luoyun Gorge, they would have to rush over again. I'm afraid that the troops of the Third Prince Tu Cheng and the Sixth Prince Tu Lei, who have caught up from behind, will also have an easier time.
After all, there is no more time and route for Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin to transfer. Even Zhu Shangde may no longer be able to run the troops as freely as he did more than a month ago.
And seeing Zhou Bingqian, he already understood. Zhu Shangde also nodded with a regretful look on his face and said, "That's right, so not only do we have to start preparing for evacuation now, but we also have to set up a large number of traps outside the Qingmin original exit in front of the third prince and the sixth prince before evacuating." ”
"I see! As long as we have enough traps set up outside the Qingmin Plain. Not only will it be impossible for the Qinzhou army to catch up in time after we leave, but we won't have to leave anything to stop the troops! Even if they wanted to send someone out to stop our army from setting a trap, they would have to face more bow and arrow attacks from our army! ”
If you want to say what can train people the most, it is naturally blood and fire, sacrifice and hatred that can train people the most.
So after running around with Zhu Shangde for more than a month, and even hiding in Tibet for more than a month, Zhou Bingqian could understand Zhu Shangde's intentions even if he was not very casual at the beginning.
Otherwise, don't say that Zhou Bingqian's position as the crown prince can't sit firmly, I'm afraid he won't be able to live until now.
After all, everyone knows that even if the battle for the prince is different from the battle on the battlefield, it will definitely not be easy.
Nodding, Zhu Shangde said even more regretfully: "That's right, but even if this can hinder the tracking time of the Qinzhou army, it can no longer achieve the goal of eliminating the troops of the third prince Tu Cheng and the sixth prince Tu Lei, I already knew that Qingmin was such a troublesome terrain, so the old man went to Xihe County to attack the second prince's troops." ”
Troublesome terrain?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shangde attributed the futility of the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin in Qingmin Yuan to the influence of topographical factors, and Zhou Bingqian, the prince of Zhou Huaiguo, couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
Because what does this mean? It shows that Zhu Shangde also does not want to admit his defeat head-on.
However, when he heard Zhu Shangde mention Tuyan, the second prince of Xihe County, Zhou Bingqian, the crown prince of Zhou Huaiguo, said with some interest: "Then can't we go to Xihe County to attack Tuyan's troops now?" I believe they haven't left Xihe County yet! Moreover, if Tu Gong and Tu Lei can't get out as much as possible, they won't be able to form a joint encirclement of our army with Tu Yan again. ”
"That's right, but if we attack Xihe County at the first time, it is very likely that the second prince Tuyan will succeed by seizing the opportunity of the second prince Tuyan to gain a firm foothold in Xihe County. However, since Tu Qi and Tu Lei can make all kinds of timely responses to our army's actions in Qingmin Yuan, with the general reserves around the second prince Tu Yan, it is already too late to attack Xihe County now. ”
General reserves?
With Zhu Shangde's words, Zhou Bingqian, the crown prince of Zhou Huaiguo, immediately felt indifferent in his heart.
Because Zhou Bingqian had no doubt that the general reserves mentioned by Zhu Shangde must be referring to the six sons-in-law of Emperor Tulang of Qin.
After all, Emperor Tulang's six sons-in-law were all selected from the outstanding generals of the Qinzhou Army, not to mention that Zhu Shangde did not dare to underestimate these mere horses in the eyes of outsiders, even Zhou Bingqian, the prince of Zhou Huaiguo, did not dare to show a contemptuous attitude.
Of course, there is one thing that Zhu Shangde did not say to Zhou Bingqian, the crown prince of Zhou Huaiguo.
That is, as the Taishi of Yulin State, it is impossible for Zhu Shangde not to participate in a campaign to resist the Qinzhou Army against Yulin State.
Therefore, in the past, when it was impossible to completely stop the Qinzhou army's action to support the country by war, even if the current situation is slightly different, Zhu Shangde will not dare to show a proud and complacent attitude in front of the Qinzhou army just because he successfully escaped for more than a month.
Therefore, even if he could only pin his hopes on Chang Kaishan, who had eliminated the Middle Route Army, Zhu Shangde also wanted to find an opportunity to listen to Chang Kaishan's opinion before making a final decision. (To be continued......)
