In the camp of the Southern Qi Army outside Ochre, Wei Ran was lying on the couch, followed by Cui Huan and other generals.

As Wei Ran woke up from his coma, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Ran opened his eyes and looked around, and then said slowly, "What is the situation now?"

Everyone was silent, looking left and right. When Wei Ran saw this, he already knew seven or eight points in his heart.

Then Wei Ran said slowly: "In this way, the situation is not optimistic? Whether the thieves have closed the camp. ”

Cui Huan had no choice but to stand up and say head-to-head under the signal of everyone: "King Qin, that day Hengxuan attacked the camp at night, our army suffered heavy losses, more than 7,000 people were killed, more than 10,000 people were injured, and thousands of people were captured. ”

Wei Ran lamented for a while, there was a shortage of food in the Hengheng army, and his army was trapped in the siege for several days, and now the grain and grass in his own battalion made a wedding dress for Hengheng, fortunately, the Nanda camp still hoarded grain and grass, otherwise it should be the Nanqi army who was waiting to be starved to death.

Cui Huan saw Wei Ran's expression and knew that Wei Ran was already extremely depressed in his heart. But Cui He then said: "Hengheng then gathered men and horses to the west, intending to flank Pei Tu before and after, fortunately Pei Tu held on to the danger and repelled the flanking attacks of both sides, so the enemy army in the direction of Jiangzhou was still blocked in the area of Quewei. ”

Hearing this news, Wei Ran's spirit couldn't help but perk, what he was most afraid of was that Pei Tu had lost the defense line of the magpie tail, so he would really be weak.

At this time, Yuan Yi, the Yongzhou assassin who presided over the attack in Quewei, was also very anxious, and the day before yesterday he and Hengheng attacked Pei Tu back and forth, but Pei Tu occupied a favorable terrain, although there were only less than 20,000 people, but he choked his throat deadly.

Moreover, Pei Tu's construction of the camp was the same as the construction of the city wall, and he dug a lot of trenches and trapped, resulting in the soldiers and horses being unable to charge with all their strength, and after a day of fierce fighting, they could only lead the army back.

And Hengheng didn't dare to fight here for a long time, after all, Wei Ran's army was still in his rear, so Yuan Yi was now fighting alone again.

Hengxuan succeeded in attacking Wei Ran at night with a strategy, and Xiao Yin was overjoyed, so he added an official to Hengxuan, and Hengzhi was also rewarded.

Although the reward was directed and acted by Hengzhi, it was a great achievement to be able to seriously injure Wei Ran, which also boosted the morale of the Jiangzhou rebels.

Xiao Gui led the army to fight Xiao Yi many times, and the two sides started a big battle along the coast of Baling, at first Xiao Yi had the upper hand, but as Xiao Gui's army fought more and more, Xiao Yi gradually became difficult to support, and had no choice but to give up the camp established in Jiangzhou, retreated to the vicinity of Baling County, camped according to the danger, and at the same time recruited troops from Jiaoguang in the name of Wei Ran.

Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Fengbao got the news and hurriedly discussed with Xian Feng, but Xian Feng hesitated and refused to send troops.

On the contrary, Xian Hui said: "Now that we are waiting to serve the imperial court, since we have obeyed the etiquette and law of the Southern Qi court, why should we consider ourselves barbarians." Working together with the Han people is the right way. What's more, Your Majesty, King Qin treats me well, and now that the people of Jiaozhou are stable, we can not forcibly recruit soldiers, just voluntarily, even if there are only 1,000 people, it is also the sincerity of my slang clan. ”

When Xian Feng heard this, he nodded abruptly, and then ordered Xian Hui to do this.

Xianhui soon entangled tens of thousands of slang soldiers, and then Feng Bao also recruited tens of thousands of Han soldiers, and the slang and Han formed 20,000 Jiaozhou troops, led by Xian Hui, and galloped north to aid Xiaoyi.

When passing through Yuezhou, Feng Ye, the Taishou of Yuezhou, led 20,000 soldiers led by the general Liu Gu, and cooperated with Xian Hui to send troops together, and Xian Hui then went straight to Baling from the ground of Xiangzhou, intending to join forces with Xiao Yi.

At this time, the battlefield of Southern Qi was roughly divided into three parts, the Baling battlefield, the Zheqi battlefield and the eastern Zhejiang battlefield.

At present, the Jiangzhou rebels have a slight upper hand, except for the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang, where Kong Fan, the commander of Huiji County, has been a little desperate under the suppression of Wang Lie and Zang Hong, and the remaining two battlefields have gained the upper hand by virtue of military superiority.

At this time, the 20,000-strong army led by Yuan Shu had already crossed the East and West Liang Mountains, and would soon arrive at Zheqi.

However, Wei Wu ordered the army to hold its troops first, which made Yuan Shu very puzzled.

Wei Wu said at this time: "Madame doesn't know, in front of the sight of the ochre spies, we wait for the big ship to break through, it is easy to be detected, according to the information from the old man's personal guards, the old man is now trapped in the camp outside the ochre, but the grain and grass are enough to support." The lord himself wanted to use ochre as bait to deceive the main force of the rebels, and then took the opportunity to outflank Quewei and Nonghu, but now he was suddenly attacked and his plan failed. ”

Although Yuan Shu is also a heroine among women, she doesn't understand military affairs after all, and when she heard Wei Wu's words, she was confused, and then Wei Wu said: "The master has repeatedly mentioned the shallow stream before, and this is the most turbulent place in the Yangtze River, which is suitable for surprise soldiers. Madame, don't panic, watch me make a little trick. ”

Then, in the evening, Wei Wu led his ship westward, and when he was about to reach Quewei after ochre, he suddenly turned around and fled eastward.

Whether it was Hengheng or Yuan Yi, they were puzzled by this move, and even Pei Tu, who was camped in the middle of the mountain, didn't know what the purpose of this army was.

After going back and forth like this for several days, Yuan Yi and Hengheng both relaxed their vigilance.

But one night, Wei Wu took advantage of the strong wind on the river and the tailwind, passed through the ochre and magpie tail along the river in one fell swoop, and rushed directly to Qianxi, and then directly set up a camp in Qianxi and nailed it to the Yangtze River.

When Yuan Yi received the news that the Southern Qi army was passing along the river, he was also puzzled and didn't know what his intentions were.

Hengheng, who was still in ochre, saw through the intentions of this fleet, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Yuan Yi: "Have you sent someone to garrison in the direction of Qianxi?" ”

Yuan Yi was like five thunderbolts at this time, who would have nothing to do to garrison his troops in his rear, Yuan Yi, who reacted, was already in chaos at this time, and hurriedly ordered the general Hu Che'er to lead the army to attack Qianxi.

The water of Qianxi is turbulent, and the big ships will sway from side to side as soon as they enter the Qianxi area, making it difficult for the officers and men on board to fight.

Wei Wu seized the opportunity, frantically fired arrows at the rebels on the shore, and sent a light boat to venture to climb the rebel ship, after an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, Hu Che'er saw that someone was blocking and could not go ashore at all, so he had no choice but to retreat.

When the news reached Yuan Yi's ears, Yuan Yi was suddenly in chaos: "Qianxi guards our army's grain road, I thought that there was Hengheng in front of me, and there was this official in the back, and there was also Xiao Gui in the direction of Baling, and the thief army could not reach Qianxi at all, and now the thief army occupies Qianxi, and the waterway cannot land at all." Now he can only lead his infantry to attack Shallow Creek. ”

Hu Che'er said at this time: "The last general is willing to lead the troops and attack Qianxi by land. ”

Yuan Yi also knew the importance of Qianxi, so he ordered Hu Che'er to lead 30,000 troops to attack Qianxi.

Wei Wu and Yuan Shu, who were stationed in Qianxi, had already taken advantage of Yuan Yi's unpreparedness at this time to sneak attack the grain convoy in Jiangzhou and intercept tens of thousands of stone of grain.

When the news reached Jiangzhou, Hengzhi was also shocked, and hurriedly ordered Xiao Yun, the king of Gucheng, to lead 30,000 troops to land from the waterway to the relatively flat place south of Qianxi, and he must recapture Qianxi.

But Wei Wu had already been prepared, and he had already sent a letter to inform Xiao Yi and let Xiao Yi cooperate with him in the battle.

Although Xiao Yi didn't know who Wei Wu was, he still believed Wei Ran's words a little, so he gathered 30,000 troops to forcibly cross the river along the waterway, and happened to meet Xiao Yun in the south of the shallow stream.

Xiao Yi didn't say a word, he and Xiao Yun started a big battle on the river, Wei Wu saw this, personally led the army of 10,000 to attack Xiao Yun at the meeting, Xiao Yun was defeated, seven or eight out of ten dead, and most of the warships were destroyed.

Xiao Yi did not call back to the camp at this time, but came to the Qianxi camp, and when he saw that the person who came was Mrs. Wei Ran, he couldn't help but admire, and said with emotion: "Who said that women are not as good as men, Mrs. is really a heroine." ”

Yuan Shu just smiled, obviously not taking Xiao Yi's compliments to heart, but said: "King Xiang, now we occupy Qianxi, truncated between Jiangzhou and Zheqi. Quewei Nonghu together with ochre, a total of nearly 100,000 thieves, this is the main force of the thief army, now you and I are combined, can win a battle. ”

Xiao Yi was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Now that the war has been going on for more than three months, and late autumn is approaching, does Madame have a way to succeed in the war?" ”

Yuan Shu didn't speak, just looked at Wei Wu, Wei Wu said loudly at this time: "Now that the thief army is cut off by us, it is just right to annihilate all the army of Quewei. I have arranged an ambush for the ambush in the mountains, and Hu Che'er will be defeated, and the grain and grass will not be able to be transported at that time, and the defenders of Quewei will definitely be difficult to take care of. ”

Then Wei Wu pointed to the map and said: "Now that General Pei occupies the terrain, the situation of Yuan Yi's camp is clear at a glance, condescending, as long as Yuan Yi's troops are insufficient, General Pei will lead the army to attack it, as long as Yuan Yi retreats from Quewei, Hengheng will only have a dead end at that time." ”

And Wei Ran didn't know the news that Yuan Shu had occupied the magpie's tail, and he was tired of dealing with Hengheng's offensive all day long.

Hengheng was unforgiving at this time, beating drums frantically all day long, knowing that Wei Ran needed to recuperate, and he also verbally abused Wei Ran's wife and children.

The people in Wei Ran's camp were all indignant, and they all threatened to rush out and be ashamed of Wei Ran.

Wei Ran didn't care, but just said with a smile: "On the battlefield, cowards are the ones who have their tongues. ”

Then Wei Ran looked at Cui He and said: "Now I can't fight in person, the thief army is besieging the camp, and it is difficult for the imperial court to land even if the army arrives, and now the only way to do it is to mess with the morale of the army." ”

That night, Hengheng's soldiers captured one person, who was Wei Ran's dead soldier, who came out of the camp and felt that he wanted to go to Jiankang to report the news.

Although Hengheng was puzzled, he still asked people to take him to the camp, but after this dead soldier entered Hengheng's army, he suddenly lost the cowardly posture when he was arrested, but shouted loudly: "Your wife and children are all ravaged by the northerners in Chengdu, maybe there will be another big fat boy after you go home!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the army's heart was in an uproar, Hengheng made people pull out their tongues, Wei Ran was speechless in an instant, in pain, lying on the ground and rolling around, but there was only resentment in his eyes looking at Hengheng.

Then Wei Ran, who was lying on the ground, found the opportunity and crashed to death on the stake of the camp tent.

Hengheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then the soldier felt a letter from the dead soldier, and Hengheng's face changed greatly after reading it.

This letter is not addressed to Jiankang, but specifically to Hengheng.

The letter reads: "Dog thief Hengheng, now that my injuries have healed, I will personally go out to take your head in the near future." Thou shalt be a dog of terror and mourning. If you don't want to die without a place to be buried, lead your army back quickly! ”

Hengheng scoffed at the letter and burned it on the spot.

At this time, Wei Ran was in the tent, Wei Ran said to Cui Huan: "Brother Cui's move is too much, I can tell you with great fanfare." ”

Cui He said: "No, what is the attack? Now that the road is cut off and the information on both sides is interrupted, if the King of Qin advertises it widely in front of the battle, it will inevitably be regarded as a rumor by Hengheng. But today, I will tell you about the dead soldiers, and there will definitely be rumors in the army. Then he used a useless letter to Hengheng, and Hengheng was very angry, so he would disdain it and burn the letter. At that time, if the generals did not know the content of their letters, how could they not be suspicious? ”

Everything is just as Cui Huan expected, Hengheng burned the letter on the spot after reading the letter, and when the people asked about the content of the letter, Hengheng just said coldly: "It's nonsense, nonsense, it's just ridiculous and generous."

The generals didn't see the content of the letter, but only saw Hengheng's face turned blue and burned the letter, and they were suspicious at the moment.

Someone wanted to ask again, but they only saw Hengheng's face and said: "If you have more words, cut it." ”

So the gossip spread in Hengheng's army, and when Hengheng reacted, he realized that Wei Ran's centrifugal plan had been achieved.

No matter how Hengheng explained the content of the letter to the generals, although the generals catered to it on the surface, they did not believe it in their hearts.

Because for so many years, Wei Ran has never scolded the enemy general with a letter.

On the second day, Hengheng once again sent troops to set up a formation, in front of Wei Ran's camp.

At this time, Cui He shouted from the barracks: "General Heng, have you seen the letter that King Qin gave you yesterday?" Chengdu has fallen, and my prince kindly told you that your soldiers are all from Xichuan, and they have left their hometowns to fight here, what are you trying to do? ”

Hengheng's army was suddenly unstable, and for a while it was full of discussions, Hengheng immediately said: "Dog thief, nonsense, Chengdu is solid, and the news is cut off, creating this rumor, messing with our army's heart." ”

Seeing this, Cui Huan just smiled slightly, and then said: "Yuwen sent troops out of Jiameng Pass a few months ago, how can the 100,000 troops of Northern Qin not be able to take Xichuan?" You deceive yourself and others, and you are very pitiful. ”

Then Cui Huan waved his hand, the camp door opened, and five thousand cavalry rushed out in an instant, taking advantage of the turmoil in the hearts of the Hengheng army, and suddenly launched a surprise attack.

Hengheng was about to stabilize the army's heart at this time, and suddenly saw Wei Ran so discouraged from martial arts, he was also shocked for a while, and scolded: "Wei Ran'er, you are doing this trick again." ”
