Outer yellow.

When the Hanoi soldiers from the north broke out, abandoned their armor and fled to the Outer Yellow City, Zhao Tuo was very surprised.

The invincible Qin army was actually defeated!

And it was not a small defeat, according to those soldiers who fled, their Hanoi army commander was actually beheaded by the Wei people, and the thousands of soldiers under his command were killed and wounded, which can be described as a rout.

They went all the way from Jiyang City and fled to Humu Township in Yangwu County.

Some of them fled straight to the county town of Yangwu in the west, while others followed the road south from Humu Township all the way to Waihuang.

When Zhao Tuo and Zhao Ben tried their best to collect those Hanoi routs, they counted them a little and found that there were as many as 700 people, which was more than half of their 1,000 people.

"Wei Bao?"

When Zhao Tuo heard the name of the commander of the Wei army, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his face showed surprise.

He really didn't expect that the person who led the Wei army to win the battle of Jiyang turned out to be Wei Bao, after all, what this person did in Chen Liu's previous made people feel very despicable.

Even Zhang Er guarded a small county town, knowing that he would resist the Qin army in a wave and then run away.

Wei Bao is the prince of Wei State, with thousands of soldiers under his command, as well as the high walls and thick walls left by Chen, who fled without a fight in the face of the Qin army's attack, this kind of behavior is simply sorry for the blood flowing in his body.

But now that he heard about the battle in Jiyang, Zhao Tuo put away his contempt for Wei Bao.

He thought that this guy was also one of the princes who rose at the end of Qin after all, and he was relieved a lot, he was able to mix the position of a Wei king in the troubled times, and Wei Bao still had two brushes.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Tuo remembers Wei Bao is not that this Wei Bao has much ability.

Rather, he once possessed a woman who "could give birth to a son of heaven".

In the end, the woman really did as the prophecy said, and the child she gave birth to really became the lord of the world and became the emperor.

This kind of lace news has always been what Zhao Tuo likes to watch, and he has left a lot of impressions on Wei Bao.

"Wei Bao is going to lead an army to attack my Waihuang, you say, should I go to Zuo Shu Chang for help?"

Yang Xiong sat on the main seat, looking uneasy, and asked the two five hundred lords under his command for advice.

Because of those defeated Hanoi soldiers, they also brought a message to Wai Huang Cheng. It was Wei Bao who was about to lead a large army south, intending to recover Waihuang County, and use it as a base to attack Chenliu again.

In such a situation, Yang Xiong can't help but panic.

The number of Wei Bao's men was much larger than the Qin army in the outer Yellow City.

Not only the comparison of military strength, when the Wei army pressed the border, there would definitely be many Wei people in the Outer Yellow City that had just been captured, and it would be difficult for the Qin army to hold under this kind of internal and external attack.

Zhao Ben frowned and said, "I don't think the Wei army will go south to attack Waihuang."

Yang Xiong asked, "Why?"

"Wei Bao originally occupied the advantage of the city's defense, as well as the people of Chen Liu, and there were tens of thousands of stone reserves of millet, and in the face of our army, he still left without a fight, and now in the case that we have captured the nearby cities, he is going to attack Waihuang and Chen Liu, this kind of thing is unreasonable, in my opinion, I am afraid that there is fraud in it." Zhao Ben said in a deep voice.

Yang Xiong looked at Zhao Tuo again.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "I also think the same, now that the southern counties of Wei have basically been taken by our army, even if Wei Bao defeats Chen Liu, it is meaningless, and the Wei army under his command will go deep alone and fall into the encirclement of our army, and it will be a matter of time before it is destroyed."

"Attacking Chen Liu, this is the way to die. Judging from Wei Bao's performance in abandoning the city at the beginning, he would not have done such a thing."

"Moreover, after the victory of the Wei army in the Battle of Jiyang, the best choice should be to support Taoqiu in the east, defeat the Dongjun soldiers of our Qin State, lift the siege of Taoqiu, and join forces with the Wei army in the city."

"But the Wei army didn't, they chose to go west, and didn't care about Taoqiu, which was being besieged. I am afraid that the reason why the main general of the Wei army can make this choice is because there are more important things in the west."

"From this point of view, going south to attack Waihuang is more like a trick from the Wei army, so as to scare our soldiers in Waihuang and Chenliu and let them have no worries

to the west."

Listening to Zhao Tuo's words, Zhao Ben's eyes were very admirable.

Yang Xiong nodded as if he didn't understand.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "I know, the Wei army must want to go west to Xingyang, to block the big river that bursts its embankment, or dig a chasm and divert the river water, so that the threat of water flooding the girder can be removed."

……

"We don't fight Yangwu County, but take Xingyang in the west!"

"The main force of the Qin army is surrounding Daliang City, and the rest of the partial divisions are also attacking the land of our Wei State everywhere. On the contrary, there was emptiness within the Qin State, and there were not many soldiers and horses. Our army should march at a rapid pace, and when the Qin army in Daliang did not react, they directly took Xingyang!"

"Xingyang is the place where the Qin army stores grain, and the grain and grass hoarded in the city are used by tens of thousands of Qin soldiers besieging Daliang and more than 100,000 slaves and prisoners."

"As long as we can quickly capture Xingyang, we can burn all the grain and grass inside. In this way, the Qin army's more than 100,000 people will have no food to eat."

"The siege of Daliang will not be destroyed by attack, and my Wei State will never perish in this battle!"

"Childe, you will also become the biggest hero of the Wei Kingdom!"

Zhou Shi rode on a horse, pointing in the direction of Xingyang in the west, and was in high spirits.

Wei Bao on the chariot next to him also listened with great energy.

If the outcome of the matter is really as Zhou Shi said, they alone went deep into the interior of the Qin State, broke through Xingyang, burned the heavy grain and grass of the Qin army, and forced the Qin State to attack the Wei army, then it would really turn the tide and save the Wei State.

He, Wei Bao, will become the second in Xinlingjun, no, he may even surpass Xinlingjun's status and become the most glorious hero of Wei!

Thinking of this, Wei Bao, who was not yet thirty years old, was already trembling with excitement.

Now, he has completely forgiven Zhou Shi.

After Chen Liu's grain was burned and the city was abandoned, Wei Bao took advantage of the terrain to throw off the Qin army that was trailing, and was ready to lead his corporal to retreat to the eastern part of Wei to protect himself.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, most of the Wei soldiers were reluctant.

Most of these Wei soldiers are people from Daliang, Yangwu, Huangchi and other places, and now their hometown is being captured by the Qin army, and their wives and children do not know the life and death of their children, and no one wants to follow Wei Bao to leave their hometowns and survive.

In this way, a mutiny occurred, and under the leadership of Zhou Shi, a Wei general from Huangchi, the Wei soldiers held spears and halberds to advise Wei Bao.

Wei Bao was also very happy, and accepted the advice of his subordinates on the spot.

The Wei army gave up the idea of retreating eastward, and led the army north under the leadership of Zhou Shi, attacking the Qin army under the city of Jiyang.

Then he struck the door to the west and opened the road to Xingyang.

Now, it is even more important to turn the tide and save Wei Guosheji!

In the Wei army traveling westward, in addition to the 3,000 armor soldiers, there were also more than 1,000 tribesmen, servants and villagers mobilized by the Zhang clan of Humu Township, who served as the auxiliary soldiers of the Wei soldiers, loaded with baggage supplies and followed all the way.

Among them, a young man with a face like a crown of jade sat on a chariot, he looked at the direction of the Wei army, thoughtful.

"That Wei general named Zhou City is quite capable. knew that the news of the attack on Waihuang was spread, and the Qin army was paralyzed. As long as those Qin soldiers believe this, they will definitely stand still and wait for the Wei army to move south."

"In this way, the Wei army will have no worries, and even the main force of the Qin army at the Great Liang will be paralyzed by this news, and they will pay attention to the vicinity of Waihuang, and relax their vigilance to the north and west."

"If Xingyang is lost, the grain and grass will be burned, and the Qin army may not survive the day when the Great Liang City is broken."
