He Suoyi said with a smile, his eyes were flowing waves, "Let the concubine follow you these days and give you advice." Otherwise, even if the concubine returned to the capital, her heart would fall into the border and she would not be at peace. ”

After she said that, Shen Huo was stunned for a long time before he replied in a low voice: "Since that's the case, let's stay here." At that time, when we return from victory, we will return to Beijing in triumph. ”

"Okay." He Suoyi smiled and responded. Before He Suoyi could react, Shen Huo had already hugged her tightly. The strength is so great that it is like holding a lost treasure. Being embraced by Shen Huo like this, He Suoyi was stunned at first, and then the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and he hugged Shen Huo instead.

The two hugged each other tightly for a long time, and then they reluctantly parted. Xiao Bisheng was newly married, and then the two had a long talk, and there was no need to mention it.

After the two of them complained to each other, He Suoyi remembered something, looked at Shen Huo and asked solemnly, "Your Highness." The concubine forgot one thing. What's going on at the border today? ”

"Okay." Shen Huo thought about it carefully, and then said, "This palace has been fighting against the army of Chu these days, and because it knows that Qi and Chu still have an ambush, they dare not rush to send troops. Only sent about a few thousand people every day to fight against the Chu State. When it was counted after the war, although it did not take advantage, it did not fall behind. ”

Hearing this, He Suoyi even showed a little smile, and said to Shen Huo: "Your Highness's behavior like this, it couldn't be better." At present, Qi Chu has been dragged by His Highness like this, and he has already consumed a lot of troops, and he is no longer in his heyday; Now that reinforcements are coming, it is even more difficult to resist. ”

"Exactly." Thinking of this, Shen Huo couldn't hide the smile on his face, and said with relief: "This palace is still worried, if the two countries of Qi and Chu can't hold it back, they rashly send troops, and resist with the current rate of the main palace, it will naturally be very difficult." Now that reinforcements are coming, even if the generals of the Chu State lead people to attack the city, they are not afraid. ”

"Then now, His Highness wants to immediately lead the troops to the expedition and capture the 100,000 troops of Qi Chu in one fell swoop?" He Suoyi asked Shen Huodao.

"Let's wait." Shen Huo thought about it in his heart, and then replied to He Suoyidao, "This road is long and high, and the reinforcements must be tired after this long journey. The tired soldiers are difficult to fight, let them rest for a while before attacking, presumably it will be twice the result with half the effort. ”

Shen Huo's words were reasonable, He Suoyi thought about it in his heart for a moment, and he also thought it was true. So the two immediately agreed, and first asked the border city generals to secretly place the 150,000 reinforcements so that they could recuperate. Wait until the army is reorganized, and then go to send troops.

Now that the countermeasures have been discussed, the two do not want to delay. Shen Huo immediately left the military tent and went to find the generals of the city over there.

As the city lord defending the city of this border fortress, at first glance he ushered in a full 150,000 elite soldiers of the Great Zhou, and the generals of the city over there were very happy in their hearts, and they almost didn't know how to react.

When he came back to his senses and was about to look for His Royal Highness the Prince, Shen Huo took the initiative to look for him. "General." Shen Huo bowed slightly towards the border city general, with a smile in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is polite." Seeing Shen Huo saluting him, the border city general was terrified in his heart, and after returning a salute, he asked, "You came to look for me today, but what is the matter?" ”

Shen Huo said with a smile: "Today, the 150,000 troops came to help, and the generals must also know about it. Hongu wanted to discuss with the general for a moment about the arrival of reinforcements today. ”

Shen Huo said that he wanted to discuss, and the generals of the border city naturally nodded in response. After he responded, he couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, and asked Shen Huodao: "But Your Highness, the Chu State is only 30,000 troops to suppress the border, and you have brought a full 50,000 people, which is more than enough." Why send another 150,000 troops? ”

"It's the Hongu to blame." Shen Huo smiled lightly, "The stakes are very high, and this palace doesn't dare to reveal this news rashly." Now that the reinforcements have arrived, the palace will tell the general in detail about this secret. ”

After that, Shen Huo immediately explained the plans of Qi and Chu and the countermeasures of the Great Zhou to the generals of the city over there.

After hearing this, the general was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization, and said to Shen Huo with some guilt: "I see." Wei Chen had secretly scolded His Highness in his heart before, but he felt that His Highness only dared to send a few thousand people to send troops, which was really not a man's doing. Now it seems that Weichen is wrong to blame you. ”

"It's the palace that hasn't been explained to the general, so why is it wrong?" Listening to what the general said, Shen Huo looked extremely calm, and only said with a smile: "Right now, we have to unite as one to fight against Qi and Chu together, so there is no need to say anything about the side." ”

Since Shen Huo said this, the general no longer twisted, and only said respectfully to Shen Huo: "In this case, if His Royal Highness has anything to do now, just tell Wei Chen to do it, and Wei Chen will definitely die." ”

Hearing this, Shen Huo first lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile: "There is really something right now, and the general needs to help." These 150,000 troops are the last and most important trump card of my Great Zhou, and I ask the general to settle them carefully so that they will not be discovered by others. ”

Hearing this, the border city general immediately nodded, signaling that he naturally understood. After the general responded to Shen Huo's errand, thinking that the military situation was urgent, he did not delay, and immediately hurried down to prepare.

After some intense preparations, the generals of the border city finally settled the 150,000-strong army, and temporarily hid it in the corner of the border city to prevent outsiders from noticing.

And Qi Chu and the others, they didn't know that the Great Zhou was actually full of 200,000 troops to press the border, and they were still complacent, thinking that the current strength of the Great Zhou had also been damaged, and there were only about 40,000 people, and against the 100,000 army in their hands, they would definitely be defeated. Every time they think about this, all the faces of Qi Chu are full of pride.

In the next few days, Shen Huo sent thousands of people to feint according to the previous plan, while silently waiting for the 150,000 army to rest.

After a few days of rest, the 150,000 reinforcements have also eased up, and they are full of spirit, shouting that they want to attack the Chu State, which is enough to defeat the Chu army before they can give up.

Looking at the energetic appearance of the soldiers, Shen Huo knew that the time was ripe, and immediately discussed a battle plan with everyone, preparing to attack the Qi Chu army tomorrow.

Time passed little by little, and soon the day passed again. Today is the day when Shen Huo has made a plan to capture the Qi Chu army in one fell swoop. According to the plan that had been discussed yesterday, Shen Huo decided to send 50,000 troops as bait first, and after Qi Chu's 100,000 troops poured out, he would send 150,000 troops to surround Qi Chu's army and wipe them out.

This strategy was inspired by Qi Chu's previous conspiracy. It can also be regarded as "treating others the way they do." "That's it.

On the other side, Guan Ziyi also learned the news that Shen Huo led all the troops to come today. "The prince of Da Zhou finally can't hold back?" Guan Ziyi smiled heartily, and ordered to the deputy general on the side: "Let's go, let's go to meet the Great Zhou army." ”

The troops on both sides were dispatched extremely quickly, and it didn't take long for them to be close to each other.

This time, both sides sent the largest number of troops in name, and the battle was much more fierce than before.

It's just that at this time, Shen Huo and Guan Ziyi both knew in their hearts: - This is by no means the end of the war, but the beginning of another battle.

Not long after the two sides fought, Guan Ziyi smiled coldly and commanded behind him: "It's time to come up with our killer weapon." ”

"Yes." Guan Ziyi said this, and the deputy general behind him naturally understood what he meant, and immediately responded and left in a hurry.

In a few moments, the lieutenant rode home. Not only that, but he didn't come back alone. Behind the adjutant general, followed by a group of soldiers from Wu Yangyang, it was the 70,000 troops that Qi and Chu had left in advance.

Shen Huo naturally saw such a big movement, but he just smiled and ignored it. The face was still calm, and he commanded a group of soldiers to resist the Chu army.

After a fierce battle, Shen Huo's troops had lost nearly half, and just as the Qi Chu army was preparing to gather all its forces to attack the city and capture the 50,000 troops led by Shen Huo in one fell swoop, the 150,000 elite soldiers sent by the emperor came out from all directions.

These 150,000 elite soldiers came unexpectedly, but it was just the right time for Da Zhou. When Qi Chu and the other soldiers saw the 150,000 army, their faces were faintly panicked, but the Great Zhou army cheered.

This shout of joy spread through the army like a trumpet of victory. Originally, the Great Zhou army was already a little tired, but at this moment, they were all in good spirits, and their morale was very high, and they marched towards Qi Chu and the others.

In contrast, the Qi Chu army was defeated and retreated. At this moment, Guan Ziyi's face was already a little depressed, and he looked at the gloomy Great Zhou army in front of him, and he only felt that everything was lost.

Rao is Guan Ziyi is good at tactics on weekdays, and in the face of such a gap at this time, he can only bow to the upper hand. Not only that, at this time, the Qi Chu soldiers had lost their faith, so they collapsed and retreated.

"Not good." Guan Ziyi couldn't help but murmured: "Right now, the strength of the Great Zhou is twice as large as our army, and it is when the soldiers are strong and strong, so we can't resist hard." ”

The adjutant general on the side also persuaded in a low voice: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." General, let's retreat first, and then we will slowly figure it out later. ”

Guan Ziyi saw that the situation was not right, and was persuaded by the deputy general, so he immediately hurriedly withdrew his troops and led a group of Chu troops back to the city. But what Guan Ziyi didn't know was that at this time, his camp was surrounded by thousands of Great Zhou soldiers.

But he said that Guan Ziyi was thinking now that Da Zhou already had an army of 200,000, and he was only with an army of 100,000, so he would definitely be invincible. Thinking of this, Guan Ziyi led the army all the way, thinking about retreating first.
