After the next dynasty, Liu Yin informed the border generals according to Chuyang's strategy, and Chuyang also returned to his own Wei General's Mansion, and after a few simple words with Liu Xun, he went out of the west gate of the city directly with the royal guards waiting outside the palace.

All the way to the territory of Zhezhou, I met the general Jiang Shan, and discussed with him the strategy of recapturing Qizhou, Jiang Shan was excited but a little not very interested.

After seeing this, Chu Yang asked, "The general has other plans?"

Jiang Shan waved his hand again and again and said: "The prince's plan is very good, but it's just ...... It's just that the total number of Qin soldiers in Qizhou is nearly 300,000, and the soldiers and horses in Zhezhou are only 100,000. ”

"The general is too worried, I have sent someone to contact Da Sikong, he still has 150,000 soldiers and horses in Pizhou, and before Da Sima had 300,000 soldiers and horses in Pizhou and Yongyuan, although defeated, there are still nearly 100,000 people, and now the sum of the three roads has exceeded 300,000, and Qizhou belongs to the Han land, and our generals are familiar with its topography! With these two advantages, it is not difficult to take Qizhou. ”

"Okay!

Within ten days, the army and horses were prepared, and during this period, Yueshan and Zhao Fan also transferred 130,000 troops from Xia County and other cities.

As soon as the soldiers and horses arrived at the city, Chuyang immediately ordered to go into battle, first called the fast horse to send a letter to Pizhou, and asked Hua Tan to take the lead in attacking to contain the main force of Qizhou, after a day and a night, Chuyang led an army of 200,000 to kill the cities of Qizhou, and at this time Wang Qizheng led a large army to resist Hua Tan's soldiers and horses, and was in a dilemma that could not take care of each other.

Wang Qi, who returned to the military tent, immediately sent someone to report the battle situation, and learned that the Chuyang army captured three cities in Qizhou in one day. Wang Qi angrily asked the advisers under his tent, and after everyone discussed, he said to Wang Qi: "At this time, the soldiers and horses of the two roads are disturbed, and the soldiers of Hua Tan will return to the camp after a little defeat, and the same is true when there is a small victory, so it can be seen that it is not a force battle, and the purpose should be to contain the main force of our army, so that Fang Jie can lead the army deep into Qizhou." Well...... It's better to plan and plan it, and then divide the troops to carry it secretly. ”

"Please elaborate. Wang Qi asked.

"Anyway, Hua Tan is only to lead our army, it is better to push the boat down the river according to the plan of the Han soldiers, you can call a general to leave 50,000 soldiers and horses, play the general's banner here and Hua Tan, and then the general will personally lead the army back to Qizhou to resist, before the battle, secretly divide an army, take a small road to go around the enemy's back, and wait for the enemy to break camp at night when the sudden fire, the two armies see the fire and kill together, and the matter can be done!"

Wang Qi thought for a moment and then shouted at the generals below: "Wang Tao, Li Hui!"

At that moment, the second general knelt on the ground and hugged his fists and said: "The last general!"

"I ordered you to fight with the Han army under my banner, the enemy is coming, defend it and don't attack, don't call him a battle, don't pay attention to it, as long as you can contain it for ten days, you and the two should be the first to take credit!"

"The last general commands!"

"Order, tonight the second watch will make dinner, and the third watch will start camping. ”

After Chuyang captured the three cities of Qizhou, he did not continue to follow up according to the wishes of Jiang Shan and others, but led a large army into the city to stop the soldiers and horses to recuperate. When the night was about to fall on the first day, Jiang Shan took Gu Chao and You Zhong into the gatehouse of Chu Yang in armor and asked: "At the moment when the three cities are taken in a row, and the soldiers are in high spirits, why does the prince no longer lead the army to strike while the iron is hot? If you delay for a long time, and wait for Wang Qi to lead his troops to return, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to miss the opportunity?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but smile when he saw the costumes of the three of them, first invited Jiang Shan to sit down, and arranged for the attendants to serve him tea before saying: "Of course, the pursuit of victory is invincible, but recklessly, it will often be defeated!"

"Please. ”

"Our army and horses are on this trip, the main force is to attack, and the containment is supplemented, and now in the past many days, Wang Qibi has noticed that the army of Da Sima is just a feint, I expect that he is preparing the army and horses to resist our army, if he rashly attacks, and collides with him in the middle, my army will be defeated!"

"How's that to be?"

"I have sent a scout horse out of the city, but when I saw Wang Qi leading his troops coming, I asked the spies to bring a letter to Da Sikong, asking him to contain the main attack and defeat Wang Qi's remaining soldiers and horses in one fell swoop! When Wang Qi knows that the camp left behind is captured, he will lead the army to rush back, and then our army will take advantage of the situation to attack, and the two sides can completely annihilate the Qin soldiers!"

One sentence made Jiang Shan both ashamed and admired, thinking about the defeat and retreat to Zhezhou at that time, it was unexpected that he suddenly led his troops and horses back to Qizhou, and took advantage of Wang Qi's improper reaction to capture three cities in a row, and Jiang Shan continued to attack without careful consideration, but was killed and retreated by Wang Qi again. Now that he thinks about it, if he had the foresight of the early sun, if he only stabilized the city and deployed troops after taking the three cities, there would never be a thing where the three cities he captured were taken away again.

"For the general, he must judge the situation and be proficient in the art of adaptation, the prince and the marquis are not chaotic on the battlefield, and they can also come up with such a clever plan according to the situation, but Jiang Shan admires it. Jiang Shan bowed deeply to the early sun.

"The general is polite. "The early sun is short and bows back.

When it was about to dawn, someone sent a newspaper to wake up the sleeping Chuyang, Chuyang hurriedly packed up and went to the army, and the reporter reported: "General Guoying calculated, the Qin soldiers only left 50,000 outside, and the remaining soldiers and horses were rushing back at night, but the soldiers and horses returned to Qizhou was not led by Wang Qi." ”

"How do you know?"

The villain saw with his own eyes the big flag hanging in the camp, which was Wang Qishuai's flag. ”

Chu Yang frowned and said to himself: "No, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses outside, and Hua Tan has a division of 150,000 tigers and wolves, and when the two sides meet, 50,000 soldiers are like eggs hitting stones, so how could Wang Qi be proficient in the way of military law, how could he put himself in such a dangerous situation?"

"Qizhou is the throat of the Qin army into the Han Dynasty, in order to protect Qizhou from being recovered by our army, when there are not enough soldiers and horses, Wang Qi can only divide his troops to come, and the army will resist the generals, and it is reasonable to rely on his own ability to personally contain the soldiers of the Great Sikong. Yueshan thought for a while and analyzed.

"It won't be so simple, I can find a strategy to make Hua Tan change from an auxiliary attack to a main attack, then Wang Qi's march must also have a plan. ”

"Please also ask the prince to allow my soldiers and horses, and ask me to lead the military horses to intercept them. "The old general is standing in the form of Zhong and asked.

"The old general is loyal and brave, and he is indeed admired by the three armies, but he does not know the number of enemy troops at the moment, so he should not attack rashly. ”

"What should I do over there, don't you want him to bluff him with 50,000 soldiers?" Gu Chao said with an excited expression.

Hearing the word bluff, Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "But it was the word 'bluffing' that woke me up, I expected that Wang Qi was not among the 50,000 military horses, and the handsome flag was just hung for me to see, just to make me believe that others were resisting Da Sikong outside!"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I can probably understand the meaning of Chu Yang, but I don't know what Chu Yang's decision is.

"Immediately hurry to the great place, so that he will not be in a hurry to attack. According to the previous marching speed, it was already night when the Qin soldiers were a hundred miles away from this city. As soon as the Qin army arrived, it was bound to call the military horses to go down to the village first, and I asked the soldiers to lie in the valley and beside the road in advance, and wait for the lower half of the village, and the soldiers could not rest, and the horses could not stop and attack suddenly!
