In the Puhong camp in the direction of Rencheng, the main general Pu Hong and his two sons, as well as his henchmen and generals, are in the big tent of the Chinese army, studying the battle in the direction of Yongqiu and agreeing on when to attack.

"Report, General, the front scouts have sent back the latest news." A small colonel rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

When Pu Hong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and present it." ”

When the little colonel heard the order, he immediately sent the latest news from the scout to Pu Hong's hands.

Pu Hong took the letter, looked at it carefully, then frowned, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Father, what happened to Yongqiu?" Pu Jian asked.

Pu Hong handed the letter to Pu Jian, looked at the generals in the big tent, and said softly: "According to the scout's report, Yao Xiang, this kid has defeated Zhang Yu, Zhou Cheng, Wei Tong, and Le Hong's four-way coalition army, and seized all the materials of the Wei mission, presumably including the jade seal of the country, in addition, the Jin army of 20,000 horses suddenly arrived in Yongqiu from Pengcheng. ”

"Father, this Yao Xiang, it seems that he really has two strokes, and he can actually defeat the coalition army of Zhang Yu and others, but how could the Jin army of 20,000 horses suddenly appear in Yongqiu, and their arrival in Yongqiu must also be related to the jade seal of the country." Pu Xiong said loudly.

Pu Jian looked at the letter carefully, hugged his fists and said: "Father, according to what the scout letter said, Yao Xiang and his army have left Yongqiu and are on the way back to Changyi, isn't this a good time for our army to attack?" ”

Hearing this, Pu Hong thought for a moment and said softly: "Yao Xiang's return to Changyi is indeed a good opportunity for our army to raid. However, now that the 20,000 horses of the Jin army suddenly appeared, the situation seems to have become complicated. After speaking, he stood up and paced in the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this moment, Pu Hong was worried about the purpose of the Jin army's coming, and he felt that it was no accident that the Jin army's 20,000 horses suddenly appeared in Yongqiu. I must have come on purpose. And the Jin army was ordered to come, and the greatest possibility was to receive the Wei delegation.

The arrival of the Jin army had to make Pu Hong worried, although he was very dissatisfied with the Jin court. It is a last resort to surrender. But only with the 50,000 elite soldiers under his command. It is not enough to compete with the Great Jin Court, and for this reason, he will not deliberately offend the Great Jin Court.

But. The sudden appearance of the 20,000 horses of the Jin army in Tongguò, Pu Hong was even more sure that the jade seal of the country was in Yao Xiang's hands at the moment.

Seeing that Pu Hong was always frowning, Pu Jian asked softly, "If your father has any worries, you might as well talk about it." ”

Pu Hong looked at Pu Jian and said softly: "Yao Xiang has led the army back to Changyi, but the Jin army of 20,000 horses has arrived in Yongqiu, if the Jin army finds that Yao Xiang has snatched the jade seal of the country, most of them will lead the army to chase all the way, at this time, if our army goes to fight with Yao Xiang, even if it wins, it will be discovered by the Jin army who came later, at that time, our army will have to fight with the Jin army, even if it wins, it is bound to pay a painful price, and now, the strength of the Jin court is increasing day by day, not that we can offend, then you say, Why did our army bother with this excitement? ”

Hearing this, Pu Jian nodded, he fully understood that his father's worries were very reasonable.

Pu Xiong immediately clenched his fists and said: "Father, it is better for our army to continue to stand still, and when Yao Xiang and the Jin army are fighting to the death, our army will suddenly kill, so that we will be able to win the jade seal of the country with the smallest loss." ”

"Yes! General, the Jin army only has 20,000 horses, and Yao Xiang has 30,000 elites, so Yao Xiang is more likely to win, and once Yao Xiang wins, our army can suddenly kill and catch Yao Xiang off guard, so as to capture the jade seal of the country without blood. A confidant general said with his fists clenched.

When Pu Hong heard this, he was very satisfied, in this way, not only could he seize the jade seal of the country with minimal losses, but also did not have to directly confront the Jin army, so as to avoid too much anger to the Jin court.

"Order, let the scouts ahead, keep an eye on every move of all parties." Pu Hong ordered loudly.

"Yes, father, I'll arrange it myself." Pu Xiong clenched his fists in response, turned around and left the Chinese army's tent.

Pu Hong's trick is unchanged to adapt to all changes, so to speak, no matter what the situation is, he will be invincible.

#####

In the direction of Yongqiu, with the efforts of a large number of scouts under Wang Wu and Wang Liu, they finally found the Wei delegation and the guards under Hua'an, and immediately joined forces with them.

In order to find out the situation, Wang Wu and Wang Liu hurriedly asked what happened, and a junior colonel of the reserve regiment quietly handed over Hua An's handwritten letter to Wang Wu and Wang Liu.

Wang Wu and Wang Liu took the letter and read it carefully, only to learn that this was Hua'an's secret plan, and what was snatched away by Yao Xiang was just an empty box, and what they had to do next was to stand still, respond to all changes with no change, and sit back and watch Yao Xiang be beaten by the group.

Knowing that Hua'an had already made arrangements, Wang Wu and Wang Liu were greatly relieved, and determined to completely follow Hua'an's requirements and hold their troops in the direction of Yongqiu City.

Just when Wang Wu and Wang Liu's soldiers and horses were standing still, Zhang Yu and the other four couldn't sit still, they learned from the scout's words that Yao Xiang had snatched the jade seal of the country, for this reason, they got together to discuss, preparing to pursue Yao Xiang's army and recapture the jade seal of the country.

After some discussion, Zhang Yu and the other four decided to replace the wounded soldiers after the arrival of the new force under their command, and then lead the superior forces to pursue the Yao Xiang army and recapture the jade seal of the country.

A day later, Zhang Yu and other soldiers and horses were all prepared, and immediately reorganized their soldiers and horses and pursued Yao Xiang's army.

Another day later, Yao Xiang and his soldiers and horses arrived at Changyi City smoothly, and they did not suffer any interception along the way, which can be described as extremely smooth, which made Yao Xiang and Yao Chang excited.

Due to the nervousness along the way, Yao Xiang felt extremely tired after entering Changyi City, so he asked his personal soldiers to hand over the gold-plated copper box to him, and then put the gold-plated copper box next to his pillow to prevent it from being stolen.

Just when Yao Xiang was extremely relaxed and entered the Chinese army's big tent to rest, in the Puhong camp in Rencheng, Pu Hong and his second son were paying close attention to the every move of the various legions and studying the next actions.

"Father, it seems that the situation we originally expected was wrong, the 20,000 horses of the Jin army did not pursue the Yao Xiang army, but Zhang Yu and their joint troops chased after them, how can this be explained?" Pu Jian looked at his father and said suspiciously.

This question, Pu Hong also wondered for a long time, he thought that the Jin army suddenly appeared in the direction of Yongqiu, it must be to receive the jade seal of the country, and now the jade seal of the country has been snatched away by Yao Xiang, the Jin army does not immediately pursue, but does not move, which seems to be a little unreasonable.

"Father, the Jin army only has 20,000 horses, but I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the Yao Xiang army, perhaps, the Jin army is waiting for reinforcements." Pu Xiong guessed softly.

When Pu Hong and Pu Jian heard this, they both nodded thoughtfully, they felt that this reason made sense, after all, in the case of being inferior to the other party, they naturally could not rashly pursue, otherwise, not only would they not be able to recapture the jade seal of the country, but also put the army under their command in danger, and it would be a safe move for the Jin army to do so.

"Father, if the Jin army does not move, Zhang Yu and the others will not be afraid at all, why should our army have any scruples, it is better to prepare for battle immediately, as soon as Yao Xiang leaves Changyi, our army can immediately launch a surprise attack on it." Pu Jian said loudly.

Pu Hong nodded and said softly: "Let the army prepare for war in secret immediately, and you must not let the scouts under Yao Xiang's command find out the abnormality of our army, remember." ”

"Father, don't worry, leave it to the child." Pu Xiong answered, turned around and went to prepare.

After Pu Xiong left, Pu Hong repeatedly imagined in the big tent of the Chinese army, considered all the situations that appeared on the battlefield, and completely relieved himself when he thought it was foolproof.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiang woke up from the big tent of the Chinese army, looked at the side of the bed suddenly, and saw that the gold-plated copper box was still there, so he put his mind at ease, he stroked the gold-plated copper box, his eyes were full of excitement and desire, as if the position of the Son of Heaven had beckoned to him.

"Fifth brother, Zhang Yu and Wei Tong led forty or fifty thousand horses to kill in the direction of Changyi City, according to which it is only a day's journey." At this moment, Yao Chang rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

Yao Xiang held the gold-plated copper box in his hand, walked out of the back tent, looked at Yao Chang, and asked softly: "Is there any movement in the direction of Rencheng, and there is no movement in the army of Pu Hong's department?" ”

Yao Chang immediately replied: "Fifth brother, according to the scout's report, the army in the direction of Rencheng has not been abnormally moved, and Pu Hong and the generals under his command are also in the camp of Rencheng, and no one has left. ”

Yao Xiang frowned when he heard this, Pu Hong is a very powerful figure, Yao Xiang is quite afraid of him, at this time, although Pu Hong's army has no action, but even so, Yao Xiang is still very worried, he is worried that Pu Hong will suddenly attack himself, if so, the situation is extremely bad.

"Strange, what kind of person is Pu Hong, our army went to Yongqiu to seize the jade seal of the country, how could he not know, why didn't he see any movement?" Yao Xiang whispered the doubts in his heart.

When Yao Chang heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Pu Hong is old, once a person is old, he lacks the enterprising spirit, and he has lost interest in the whole world to obtain his jade seal of the country, after all, he is a person who has been cut into the ground." ”

When Yao Xiang heard this, he felt that there was some truth, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly, besides, at this moment, Zhang Yu and others had already led the army to pursue, Changyi is located in the plain, there is no danger to defend, the west is the Dingtao City garrisoned by Wei Tong, and the east is the Rencheng garrisoned by Puhong, which is really not a place to defend for a long time, for this reason, Yao Xiang made up his mind to immediately lead the army to leave Changyi and go to Taishan County to develop.
