Chapter 217: It's Not Too Late

After boosting the morale of the Chu army, Xiong Qi came to the tent next to the school grounds.

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a batch of grain and grass sent from Nanjun, passing through our Huaiyang, and then sent to the Qin army."

Xiong Qi continued: "We robbed this batch of grain and grass, killed the Qin army that transported the grain, replaced all the grain, filled it with dry grass, and flammable fire-starting things, and used these dry grass to burn the Qin camp. ”

Zhou Hong felt that it was not feasible, shook his head and said: "The Qin camp is stationed on the edge of Yingshui, we pretend to be the Qin army to deliver food, we need to cross the river, we must move the grain and grass on the car to the boat, if the Qin army on the other side sends troops to assist, it is easy to find the dead grass inside." ”

Because the weight of dead grass is not as good as grain, as long as it is moved, it will be discovered.

This plan is not easy to implement.

Xiong Qi felt that it made sense, thought for a while, and went to the outside of the tent to blow the wind for a while, feeling the direction of the wind.

"There are two ways to transport grain to Xiangcheng, the first method is to transport it by horse-drawn cart, to the bank of Yingshui, unload it and cross the river by boat."

"The second way is to prepare the boat near Shangcai, carry the grain on the carriage, move it to the boat, and go down the Yingshui until the Qin camp, we can use the second way to move the dry grass to the boat in advance."

"It's late November, and it's a northwest wind, so it's going well."

He continued: "It's a lot easier for us. ”

Zhou Hong instantly thought of something and asked, "Does the king want to set fire to the ship in advance, and with the help of the wind, blow the fire on the ship into the Qin army's barracks?" ”

"That's right!"

Xiong Qidao.

"I'm going to rob the grain!"

Zhou Hong believes that this plan is feasible.

The soldiers of the Qin army transporting grain were only a few thousand, and they had 30,000 Chu troops, so it was not difficult to rob the grain.

While plundering the grain, they prepared a large number of boats and dry grass, as well as flammable materials, and with the help of the northwest wind, the fire could burn spectacularly.

——

Bai Zhong came to Huaiyang and was hurrying towards Chen Cheng, wanting to stop Xiong Qi's betrayal.

When he crossed the Rushui and reached the vicinity of Pingyu, he realized that the situation was not quite right.

Looking from a distance outside the city, the Qin army's black water dragon flag has been replaced, replaced by the military flag of the Chu army, so there is only one possibility, Huaiyang has an accident, and the person who can cause Huaiyang's accident must be Changping Jun Xiong Qi.

Bai Zhong regretted a little, before the envoy, he felt that Changping Jun was still under his control, and thought that Yingzheng would wait until he came back to send troops, only to realize that he was thinking too much.

"It's better to find Meng Tian and them as soon as possible."

Bai Zhong rested for a while and continued on his way.

If Xiong Qi hadn't had time to make a move, he would have killed people directly, and maybe he could save some of the situation.

However, Li Xin's defeat is a definite fact, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.

"General, there are people from the north rushing in our direction, the number is about a hundred, and the identity is undecided."

A soldier returned.

Bai Zhong said: "Get ready, stop them!" ”

The two hundred soldiers around him went directly to the north, and soon met with the hundred people, and were about to start......

"General, it's me!"

A familiar voice rang out.

Bai Zhong stepped forward to see that the person who came turned out to be Wang Li, and asked in surprise, "Brother Wang, why are you here?" ”

"I'm here for you."

Wang Li said eagerly: "We got your news, saying that Li Xin should not go deep alone, and beware of Changping Jun." My eldest father and General Meng discussed it, and they agreed that Li Xin would lose this battle, but the king's edict had already been handed down, and they all sent troops to attack the Chu realm, and they couldn't stop it, and I was too late. I also thought that the general could predict in advance, and he should be on the way back, and he might also stop everything, so I stayed in Huaiyang and waited, as long as I found your whereabouts, I would come to you immediately. ”

He also wanted to send the news to Meng Tian and Li Xin, but when he came to Huaiyang yesterday, he found that the city here, the flag was replaced, and he understood that Changping Jun really wanted to betray.

Even the news sent out from Nanjun is too late now, Li Xin can't receive it, and whether Meng Tian can receive it or not, they don't know yet.

"I brought three hundred people, and on the way from Nanjun to Chencheng, I scattered people to inquire about the news of the general, and finally found it."

Wang Li gasped slightly: "The eldest father said, Li Xin's 200,000 people are difficult to win, the Chu State is vast, and unlike the Three Jin Dynasty, Xiang Yan is a famous general of the Chu State, proficient in the art of war, and has experience, even if there is no betrayal of Changping Jun, it is difficult for 200,000 people to take over the city that has been attacked, and Li Xin's experience is not as good as Xiang Yan's." ”

"The eldest father also wants to make it clear to the king, but he has no chance, so he finally resigned and went back to enjoy the blessings."

"The eldest father also said that the merit of our Wang family is too high, and I am afraid that the merit will be high."

"The army of 600,000 is all the main forces of Great Qin, and the king does not dare to hand it over to a general with high achievements."

He continued.

In the Three Jin Dynasty, the commander of the destruction of Zhao is Wang Qian.

Han Wei's coach is Wang Ben.

Wang Jian and his son joined forces again and crippled Yan Guo.

Coupled with the various previous wars, the credit of the Wang family is too high, and the prestige in the army is also not low.

As a monarch, Yingzheng needs to maintain a balance, and he doesn't really want Wang Jian to go on the expedition, but supports other generals to maintain this balance, and even promotes this balance through the Meng family, so Li Xin is the main general, Meng Tian is the deputy general, and Wang Li has nothing to do.

"The Admiral has seen it thoroughly!"

Bai Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Don't talk about this yet, get to Chen Cheng quickly and see how much you can recover." ”

However, his appearance won the trust of Yingzheng, and I don't know if this balance was broken.

They simply rested for a while and continued to hurry, seeing that Xiong Qi had just started, hoping to catch up.

——

Xiangcheng is not far from the city father, much closer than Juyang.

When Li Xin's letter was delivered outside Xiangcheng, when the Qin army camp, two days had passed.

Meng Tian was about to go to the city father and meet with Li Xin, but just as he was about to leave, the gate of Xiangcheng suddenly opened, and this long-standing city took the initiative to fight for the first time, as if it was going to be tough with the Qin army.

It's not a coincidence that it's still playing at this time.

"All ready to fight!"

Meng Tian couldn't take care of Li Xin anymore, so he settled his own affairs first.

As soon as the Qin army gathered, they saw three Chu army chariots, running out of the city gate, rushing towards the Qin army.

"Bow crossbow, bed crossbow, all ready!"

Meng Tian continued to give orders and waited for battle.

The two sides were in a stalemate for so long, and they started like this without warning, and the Qin army's side was somewhat caught off guard.

"Look, General, there are no infantry behind the chariot!"

At this time, a lieutenant pointed ahead and said.

Meng Tian looked up, and sure enough, only the chariot rushed out, no infantry followed, although the power of the chariot was strong, there were only three, and no matter how strong it was, it was limited.

Then, before the chariot came within range of the crossbow, it suddenly turned and quickly returned to the city gate.

Meng Tian looked confused.

I can't understand what Chu Jun is going to do.

"General, the general has an urgent letter to the general and General Li!"

A soldier hurried over.

Bai Zhong's reminder finally came.
