Three days later, Bai Zhong left Shangcai and led his troops to Pingyu to kill.

On the way, he opened the map and analyzed the next strategy.

Shangcai is not far from Pingyu, and it is a little farther away from Chencheng, should he fight Pingyu first, and then Chencheng, or will the troops be divided into two roads again, and the two cities will attack at the same time?

"The generals of the Chu army will definitely give up Pingyu?"

Bai Zhong muttered to himself.

Xiong Qi next to him said: "The situation of Pingyu and Shangcai is similar, Shangcai can't hold it, plus the morale of the Chu army is low, since it can't be held, it shouldn't waste troops and struggle to the death in Pingyu." ”

Looking at the battle situation, they all believed that the Chu army should give up in order to save Huaiyang.

Even Xiang Liang thought so.

If the troops are divided into Pingyu and fight with the Qin army again, Chen Cheng's troops, or Huaiyang's troops, will be insufficient, and before the reinforcements from other counties arrive, I am afraid that Chen Cheng has been taken down by the Qin army.

The loss of Chen Cheng is equivalent to the complete loss of Huaiyang.

"According to what the king said, the Chu army thinks we will definitely send troops to attack Pingyu first?"

Bai Zhong waved his hand and told everyone to stop.

Li Xin asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Bai Zhong thought about it and said: "There is definitely a problem, the Chu army thinks that we must attack Pingyu, and we will indeed go to take Pingyu, then the problem comes, this is an event that will definitely happen, won't the Chu army have arrangements when we attack Pingyu?" ”

"In other words, in fact, the Chu army may not necessarily give up peace."

"The so-called abandonment is just our speculation, and even Chu Jun deliberately did this, making us feel like we had given up."

"Then the Chu army is near Pingyu, preparing a trap or something, won't we suffer heavy losses?"

His words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

There is a possibility.

"Then we want to attack Pingyu on the surface, and secretly go directly to attack Chen Cheng?"

Meng Tian suggested.

Since the enemy wants to play these virtual and real means, they can also play it.

Bai Zhong said: "I think there are still two ways to fight. ”

He dismounted, gathered the crowd over, and pointed to the terrain on the map.

From Nanjun, although it is mostly plain, it is not without mountains, and there are small hills on the south and east sides of Pingyu, where Tibetans can be hidden.

"Li Xin and Zhang Han, you still take your current subordinates and go to Pingyu, just hide on the south side."

Bai Zhong pointed to the hills on the map, to the south, and continued: "When you arrive at the place, don't show up, you must find out everything, if you find that there is nothing unusual outside the city, you will attack the city directly, if you find that there is a problem outside the city, hold your troops still!" ”

Zhang Han asked: "Isn't it a waste of time to hide and stay still?" We are alone in the depths, and in terms of heavy food, compared with the Chu army, we can't afford to consume it. ”

Bai Zhong explained: "It won't be delayed for too long, if there is really a problem outside the city, and the Chu army sees that we are delayed for a long time, they will definitely suspect that our target is not Pingyu, but Chen Cheng, so the Chu army will go back to Chen Cheng immediately." ”

Li Xin suddenly understood, and said: "The general wants to send troops to attack the city after the Chu army returns to Chencheng?" Wouldn't it be dangerous that you don't have many troops, general? ”

Of course, there are dangers, but not all of them.

"I won't fight the Chu army head-on, but find a way to deal with them, you take Pingyu, Li Xin will stay in the city first, Zhang Han will quickly come to help me, and when Pingyu stabilizes, we will meet outside Chencheng."

Bai Zhong continued to look at the map and said, "You guys set off first and act according to the plan." ”

Zhang Han said with concern: "General, you must pay attention to safety. ”

"So are you!"

Bai Zhong nodded.

They were separated, and the soldiers moved in two directions.

Bai Zhong led his troops for more than a day and encountered another river.

In the Huaibei Plain, there are many river networks.

This river, called Fenshui, after crossing the river, walk east for about half a day to reach Chencheng.

"Stop here first."

Bai Zhong thought for a while and decided to put the battlefield against the Chu army on the shore of Fenshui.

Take a break for about an hour.

A scout walked back from the south and said eagerly: "General, we are downstream, about twenty miles away, and we have found traces of a large army crossing the river, and the pontoon bridge is still on the water. ”

"Seemingly, let me guess right again."

The pressure on Bai Zhong's body relaxed, and he continued: "You stay here, camp and rest, pay attention to vigilance, and we will go downstream to have a look." ”

They were just two people, without any guards, and they were not afraid of being surrounded by the enemy, because Bai Zhong was confident enough to take Ying Shu out to kill.

Soon, they came to the place where the scouts were scouting.

Before approaching the pontoon bridge in front of him, Bai Zhong's eyes narrowed, he looked at the other side of Fenshui, took Yingshu's hand and stepped back, walked into a bush on the shore, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise, someone is here again." ”

As soon as they hid, Ying Shu also saw that a group of soldiers and horses came on the east bank of Fenshui and passed the pontoon bridge one after another.

The leader is none other than Xiang Yan.

Xiang Liang, as a striker, had already crossed the river, and the pontoon bridge was built by him.

The rear army led by Xiang Yan only set off with heavy goods at this time.

Underneath the pontoon bridge are boats, covered with wooden planks, far more stable than those wooden raft pontoons before Bai Zhong.

The Chu army walked fast.

Bai Zhong looked from a distance and saw that in the Chu army, in addition to the flag of the Chu State, there was also a big banner embroidered with the big character "Xiang" on it.

"Their general's last name?"

He said softly.

Ying Shu responded: "It should be Xiang Yan, the person from the Xiang family." ”

Bai Zhong reacted instantly, the capable general of the Chu State is probably only Xiang Yan, and he is also the grandfather of Xiang Yu, the later overlord of Western Chu, but he didn't expect this person to come in person.

Ying Shu said again: "The person who confronted us in Shangcai before should be Xiang Liang, do you have confidence?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Isn't it Xiang Yan, Bai Zhong is not afraid of this person, and said: "After Xiang Yan passes, we will go back, cross the river through this pontoon bridge, first come to the city of Chencheng, and then find a way to defeat Xiang Yan, so that our task will be almost completed, and we will smoothly cooperate with General Wang, and then go north to destroy Wei." ”

Ying Shu asked curiously, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Use the method of Xiang Liang to hit it halfway!"

Bai Zhong whispered in her ear.

For the sake of convenience, the two didn't want to be discovered by the army outside, so they got closer and closer.

Ying Shu turned her head sideways at this time, almost touching Bai Zhong's lips, quickly pushed him away, and said in a low voice: "Don't you want to take advantage of me!" ”

"Shh

Bai Zhong made a gesture of silence.

Fortunately, the army crossed the river, and the sound could drown out their voices, and the grass on the bank of the river was so high that it could hide the two of them, and it was not discovered.

It wasn't until Xiang Yan's army was far away that Bai Zhong got up and said, "Go back quickly, lead the troops to cross the river through this pontoon bridge, and have a big fight with Xiang Yan!" ”

Considering that he wanted to go back to Chencheng, Xiang Yan did not destroy the pontoon bridge, which was equivalent to providing convenience to Bai Zhong.

Half an hour later, a large army of the Qin army came here, crossed the pontoon bridge, and went straight to Chencheng.
