After crossing the river.

Bai Zhong asked Zhang Tang and Ren Huan to hold on to the riverbank, mainly to hold those pontoon bridges to avoid the sudden return of the Chu army.

The others, all of whom followed Bai Zhong, came to the outside of Chen Cheng.

"Black Water Dragon Banner, why is the Qin army here?"

Most of Chen Cheng's guards were taken away by Xiang Yan, and now there are only more than eight thousand left.

Not long after Xiang Yan left, they saw the Qin army approaching the city, if they didn't panic, it was all fake, and then they were all on guard, and someone immediately went out of the city to inform Xiang Yan, but as soon as this person arrived outside the city, he was intercepted and killed by the Qin army before he went far.

Bai Zhong asked the army to stop, set up a formation, and made it look like he was going to attack the city.

Before the fight started, the Chu army on the city tower was frightened.

After all, the fierceness of the Qin army, from Xianghe to Shangcai, they all knew about it, Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang were not in the city, and there were not many guards, and the remaining deputy generals did not have much confidence to defend Chen Cheng.

Bai Zhong did not attack the city immediately, the focus was on Xiang Yan's father and son, and Chen Cheng was secondary.

As long as Xiang Yan and the others are defeated, the entire Huaiyang can be taken down.

However, before Xiong Qi's request to persuade him to surrender, Bai Zhong would still agree and let him give it a try.

"Your Majesty, how are you going to persuade you to surrender?"

Bai Zhong asked as he looked at the castle tower.

Xiong Qi stepped forward and said, "General Bai, can you agree to let me go to the city?" ”

Bai Zhong listened to his advice and said, "Come on, escort you over." ”

More than a dozen Iron Eagle Warriors picked up their shields to protect Xiong Qi's side, and slowly approached the city gate.

Seeing this, someone from the Chu army in the city immediately drew their bows, but no one dared to let go of the bowstring, just watched Xiong Qi and a few of them approach, and couldn't figure out what the Qin army was going to do for a while.

"Qin State Changping Jun Xiong Qi, please see Huaiyang County Guard."

Xiong Qi said loudly.

In the past, Qin and Chu often intermarried, and the two countries were still on good terms.

Many Chu people knew who Changping Jun was, but no one knew what Changping Jun was going to do, and some people immediately went to contact the county guard in Huaiyang.

After a while.

Zhou Hong, the county guard of Huaiyang, came to the city tower, looked at it condescendingly, and asked, "What is the matter with the king looking for me?" ”

Xiong Qi said directly: "I'm here to persuade you to surrender." ”

"I won't surrender!"

Zhou Hong said loudly: "Thinking of the identity of the king, I will not be rude to you for the time being, please leave immediately, otherwise I will not be polite." ”

Xiong Qi smiled: "The county guard wants to wait for Xiang Yan to come back to save you?" In the next two days, it is impossible for him to come back, even if he comes back, it is easy to cross Fenshui to the west, but it is even more difficult to come back from the east, our army has come here, and it will not be defenseless. ”

These words made Zhou Hong frown.

A bad feeling haunts me.

"How about asking the county guard to open the city gate and let me enter the city to explain the pros and cons?"

Xiong Qi looked at the Rui Shi beside him, and said, "You go back first, you don't need to protect my safety." ”

If he wants to enter the city to persuade Zhou Hong to surrender, he must first show his sincerity.

The few sharp warriors looked back at Bai Zhong, and after getting a nod, they retreated into the army.

Zhou Hong thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed: "Open the city gate and let the king enter the city." ”

His heart was a little shaken, Qin Jun could come here, he must make all the arrangements and preparations, but he was afraid that Xiang Yan and his son would never return to Chen Cheng after leaving, and see what Xiong Qi wanted to say to him, and then decide whether to surrender.

He didn't want the city to be ruined.

Xiong Qi saw the city gate open and walked in without hesitation.

Outside the city.

"General, you can really go forward?"

Meng Tian said worriedly: "If the Huaiyang County Shoujun comes up to threaten us, what will we do? ”

Bai Zhong said calmly: "You have to believe in the king, even if it is not successful, we can attack, as for the king...... I guess there will be no danger, and Zhou Hong will not use Jun to force us to retreat. ”

Because the Qin army will definitely not retreat, no matter who is used to threaten.

"Wait, wait for about two or three days, there will be results."

Bai Zhong said again: "Then pay attention to the movement of the riverbank, I want to know when Xiang Yan will come back." ”

The whole plan has been carried out halfway, just waiting for Xiang Yan to come back.

——

Li Xin and Zhang Han are much faster than Bai Zhong's.

At this time, the army was already hiding on the hills south of Pingyu, and immediately sent scouts to investigate the vicinity, and the results were available after an hour.

On the hills on the east side, there was indeed a group of enemies, and the distance was about ten miles.

This distance was not very far, and Li Xin and the others did not dare to make much movement, while continuing to let people stare at those enemies.

"The general is like a god."

Zhang Han was surprised: "This was also guessed by him." ”

Li Xin said: "According to the general's plan, hide first, I guess the Chu army will soon find out the problem, and then hurry back, and hide for another day or two to almost take Pingyu." ”

The Qin army here all quieted down.

They were worried that the smoke from cooking would be captured by the enemy, so they ate dry food prepared in advance.

As long as you get through this time, it will be easy to win the peace.

——

Xiang Liang came to the east side to ambush, almost a day.

From Shangcai to Pingyu, it was only about a day's journey, but he still hadn't seen the arrival of the Qin army, but he was not impatient and continued to wait quietly.

He waited another night.

At noon the next day, Xiang Yan finally arrived.

"How?"

Xiang Yan asked.

"It seems that the Qin army did not come to Pingyu."

It was impossible for Xiang Liang to know the plan of the Qin army, and no one thought of exploring the southern hills, but let people stare in the direction of Shangcai in the north, and did not dare to let people get close to Shangcai, until now, even the shadow of the Qin army could not be seen.

Xiang Yan pondered for a long time and said, "Let people go to Shangcai to take a look immediately." ”

The scouts of the Chu army immediately set off to the north.

"Ah Weng is worried that the Qin army will not come to Pingyu?"

Xiang Liang understood his father's thoughts.

Xiang Yan nodded and said, "I don't know why, after coming here, I felt a little uneasy, especially when Qin Jun didn't come." ”

Thinking of the situation on Chen Cheng's side, if the Qin army did not come to Pingyu, then it was Chen Cheng who was in danger.

"If it's the same as what I'm worried about, Qin General Bai Zhong's ability to use troops is very strong."

Xiang Yan said again.

Invisibly, there is a kind of pressure on both father and son.

Xiang Yan regrets a little now, he shouldn't change his strategy, but it's too late to go back now, he doesn't even know the movements of the Qin army, and he doesn't dare to change it casually.

The scout hurried as fast as he could, and the next morning, he hurried back and hurriedly said, "General, little general, it's not good!" ”

Xiang Yan hurriedly walked out of the tent and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Qin Jun has already left Shangcai!"

The scout hurriedly said.

Xiang Yan was shocked: "I've been tricked!" ”

And sure enough, that's it!

He underestimated Bai Zhong's ability and overestimated his own judgment, if the Qin army did not come to Pingyu, then he would definitely attack Chen Cheng.

The current Chen Cheng is empty!

"Withdraw your troops and go back!"

Xiang Yan shouted.
