Chapter 404: Echo of the Hollow Valley
The army of Chu was surrounded, the battle was fierce, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The army closest to them was still on standby.
That day, the crown prince Zhou Mao was angry for a long time before he summoned all his cronies to the tent and told everyone the news he had received.
Zhou Mao frowned and asked, "In case my father wants to abolish me, the crown prince, do you have any countermeasures?" ”
The crowd was silent.
"Say!" Zhou Yu roared.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, no news is good news!" A cronie said.
"Stand still and wait and see!" Another cronie suggested.
"That's right! Don't move until the last minute! ”
......
In this way, you and I continued until midnight, and the final conclusion was to stand still.
Zhou Mao didn't sleep until midnight, and he didn't even know how to ask Li Xiangying.
Because he was yelled at early in the morning, coupled with a good greeting before going to bed, Zhou Ming ignored it, and Li Xiangying held her breath in her heart.
In this way, the two of them slept with their own hearts.
Before dawn the next day, the messenger shouted outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an urgent edict of 100,000 urgent!" ”
Zhou Yu sat up from the bed in shock, listened to the shouts outside, looked at Li Xiangying on the side, and said with a pale face: "How can it be so fast!" ”
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Li Xiangying didn't know what Zhou Ming's mouth meant so quickly.
"You pick it up!" Zhou Yu closed his eyes, "Just say that I didn't get up, ask me clearly and come back to me!" ”
"Oh!" Li Xiang frowned and nodded.
When Li Xiangying came out in clothes, General Zhu and other major generals were already waiting outside.
Seeing the messenger, Li Xiangying couldn't help but ask: "What about His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Li Xiangying pursed her lips before saying, "Your Highness was too late last night, so I couldn't bear to call him." Or you tell him what is going on first! ”
The messenger was a little embarrassed: "This is an urgent letter sealed with fire paint!" ”
"Say it!" Old General Zhu said in a deep voice: "The crown princess and the generals are here, you speak first." ”
Only then did the messenger open the letter and read it aloud: "The crown prince Zhou Ming immediately rushed to Guzhou to support and drive the Chu general Zhou Ming to resist the 500,000 Chu army. ”
"Half a million?" Even Old General Zhu couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. The generals looked at each other even more.
The messenger looked at General Zhu and sent the holy decree to General Zhu: "Your Majesty wrote so, and the little one will not admit his mistake." ”
At this time, I saw Zhou Mao, who was still wearing loose hair, rushed out of the camp tent and knelt down facing the east: "Father, don't worry! Zhou Yu took the order! ”
As long as he doesn't abolish the prince, he can do whatever he wants.
Seeing Zhou Mao like this, everyone also kowtowed to the east and saluted.
After Zhou Mao got up, he was full of energy and arched his hand to General Zhu: "Please also ask General Zhu to gather all the generals and quickly come up with a countermeasure to start as soon as possible!" ”
General Zhu agreed with Zhou Mao's reaction, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Obey!" ”
Zhou Mao took the holy decree from General Zhu's hand as he spoke, looked down, and there was no ecstasy on his face. In the tent just now, he only heard that Emperor Zhou asked him to lead troops to support Zhou Ming, and he only heard clearly that he was called the crown prince in the holy decree, and he ran out without even hearing the back clearly. At this time, when he saw the 500,000 Chu troops written on it, his heart suddenly retreated.
Zhou Ming has 200,000, he only has 100,000, and the Chu State is 500,000, wouldn't it be sent to death if he let him go over?
But Zhou Ming soon thought that this was the opportunity given to him by his father. If he doesn't even shirk this, he really can't be the prince.
Besides, the West is blessed with unique advantages that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is better to fight with the Chu army at this time!
Thinking about this clearly, Zhou Yu took a long breath and said to Li Xiangying on the side: "Concubine Ai helps me tie my hair." I got a secret report last night, and the palace was not in a good mood, so it was inevitable that he would be a little angry. I hope that the concubine is not strange. ”
Li Xiangying, who heard Zhou Ming's gentle voice, hurriedly said: "Where is Your Highness, where do you and I have a reason to hold grudges." ”
General Zhu summoned Zhou Ming, who had summoned all the main generals, had not yet made a crown.
And the people began to talk about it.
By the time Zhou Yu arrived, General Zhu had already led everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"Your Highness! Soldiers don't get tired of cheating! Our army of 100,000 will create a momentum of 300,000! General Zhu said in a deep voice, "This may still have a chance to win." Since His Majesty already knows the disparity in the number of enemies and us, he must have sent reinforcements. We just have to drag our feet and wait for the army. ”
"The old general's clever plan! Then follow the old general's! ”
"The soldiers are divided into three ways!" General Zhu Lao ordered people to unfold the map of the border between the Great Zhou and Chu State: "The three roads are all used as the main attack!" Fortunately, there is a large river valley in the middle, so we can take advantage of this terrain. The so-called echo of the empty valley, when we enter the big river valley, we roar with all our strength and take the lead. In this way, the Chu army can be deterred and the Second Highness can break through. As long as the soldiers of the Second Highness are in the same place as ours, we will win. ”
"Good!" Zhou Yu stretched out his finger and pointed to the middle, "This king is the main attack all the way in the middle!" Since it is a three-way road, each will receive 30,000 to make a momentum of 100,000.
The remaining 10,000 will be led by the crown princess and make a momentum of 100,000, so that we will have more troops! ”
"Hmm!" Old General Zhu nodded, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true!" ”
"Then point out the troops!" Zhou Yu commanded in a deep voice.
When Zhou Mao's army arrived in Guzhou, it was already dusk.
Before he crossed the Okawa Valley, he heard a deafening sound of killing on the other side.
The sunset is bloody, and the world is red.
Because it is close to the mountain range, this side is also the end of the Dachuan Valley, which is much smoother than the Fengzhou side. Riding is still passable.
Still in the Dachuan Valley, Zhou Mao led everyone to shout in unison: "Chu thief, listen, the 300,000 reinforcements of the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty have arrived, surrender on the spot, disarm and not kill!" ”
"Chu thief, listen, the 300,000 reinforcements of the crown prince of the Great Zhou have arrived, surrender on the spot, disarm and not kill!"
"Chu thief, listen, the 300,000 reinforcements of the crown prince of the Great Zhou have arrived, surrender on the spot, disarm and not kill!"
To the west is the mountains, and the valley echoes in the valley, and the shouts are heard back and forth for a long time.
The Zhou army, which had been fighting for most of the day, heard that the reinforcements had arrived, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.
Originally, the advantage of the Chu army in almost three to one had already been shown, and when they suddenly heard that the 300,000 troops of the crown prince of the Great Zhou had arrived, they were all a little panicked.
Over there, Ma Huanting and Zhou Ming were still inseparable.
Guo Jianxing and King Lie of Chu attacked the camp with all their might, and they couldn't help but shake their minds for a moment when they heard the shouting.
How did it happen that 300,000 came.
500,000 against 500,000!
It's also too coincidental.
The king of Chu had already captured a camp, and listening to the shouts all over the mountains, he couldn't help but rise into the air, and sure enough, he saw three roads of people and horses in the river rushing towards them.
The sunset sun is weak, and when he sees the sunset, he can't see how many people there are for a while.
It's just an echo of the empty valley, judging from the shouts of the Zhou people, it is indeed magnificent.
Zhou Ming can lead an army of 200,000, since he is the crown prince, the army of 300,000 should not be empty.
Thinking so, King Lie turned around and shouted to the lieutenant general: "Mingjin withdraws his troops and fights again the next day!" ”
