The moon is dim and the winter wind is howling.

Qu Song sat on the horse, the cold air came to his face, and he couldn't help sneezing.

On both sides of him, the road leading north to Peiyi was full of Chu soldiers, holding their blades, rubbing their hands, shivering in the cold wind, and slowly moving forward.

According to the previous scouts' investigations, the Qin army's camp was set up in an open area five miles away.

"Qu Ming's strategy is really feasible, those Qin people have been confused by my previous behavior, and now it is time for me to make meritorious contributions!"

Thinking of this, Qu Song couldn't help but praise his brother's strategy in his heart.

Pretending to help the Qin army, let it go on the road, delay its speed with grain and straw, and lower its vigilance, so that you can take advantage of the situation to attack the camp and make a great achievement.

"I wiped out his 5,000 Qin army with 3,000 soldiers, and when it gets out, who won't treat me Qu Song differently."

"In particular, this Qin army was able to escape from Zuo Sima's pursuit all the way, but was taken by me with fewer troops in Pengcheng, doesn't it mean that my Qu Song is far more powerful than his Zhao clan's people?"

Qu Song became more and more proud, and even had some kind of dark thoughts in his heart.

"Qu Ming is already a cripple, even if he can turn over and be pardoned by the king with this advice, it will not do anything to my Qu clan, but will share my credit. It is better to let him die in this battle, so that this plan is what I came up with, and all the credit is mine!"

"I not only exterminated the Qin army with strange strategies, but also killed the Qu rebellion, just like the righteous killing of his son by the patriotic Shi Jie, which is enough to show my loyalty to the king. The king will inevitably promote me and take my place in the place of Qu Ming."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm going to use your tricks, covet your merits, kill your people, and take your former place."

A grin broke out at the corner of Qu Song's mouth.

He no longer hesitated, and immediately gave the order for the soldiers to trot and run towards the Qin army camp.

The cold wind howled in the night, blowing the grass and trees around the road to sway, making a whimpering sound like a ghost crying, which was very creepy to the ears of people, as if some fierce beast lurked around.

Seeing that there was only about two miles left, Qu Song asked the soldiers to slow down, walk silently, and get as close as possible in concealment, and wait until they touched the vicinity of the Qin army's camp, and then suddenly attacked, so that they could make a great achievement.

But after not taking a few steps, there was a slight commotion in front of him, as if something had happened, which couldn't help but make Qu Song's brows furrow, for fear that those voices would be heard by the Qin people in the distance, which would affect the major event of this night attack.

He was about to send a short soldier to investigate, but the soldiers in front of him had already reported that they had found a man in the middle of the road, and he looked so strange that people did not dare to make a claim.

The look of the person who returned was very strange, which made Qu Song more and more puzzled, the scout sent out before had not said anything about it when he came back.

Because it was still about two miles away from the Qin camp, Qu Song was not in a hurry, he dismounted and stepped forward, and came to the front under the escort of a group of short soldiers.

When I looked up, I saw a wooden frame in the shape of a "ten" in the middle of the road, and a man in bright clothes was tied to the wooden frame, with his arms stretched out and his legs tied, which also looked like a "ten" shape, which was very strange.

"Qu Ming?"

….

Qu Song's face was full of astonishment, and the person who was tied up also stared at him with wide eyes, one of this person's feet was uglyly twisted and turned out, this kind of characteristic, who else could it be if it wasn't Qu Ming?

Qu Ming opened his mouth to speak, but what came out of his mouth was a cry of "ahhhh

Qu Song was terrified, especially when he accidentally glanced at it, he actually saw a wooden plaque hanging on Qu Ming's chest, and in the dim moonlight, he could barely read the Chu characters written on it.

Taiyi oracle, Qu Song died here.

"Let's go, get out!"

Qu Song screamed.

Seeing this scene, he didn't know that his and Qu Ming's strategy had been seen through by the Qin people, and the Qin army was afraid that he had already taken precautions for this move.

However, before the Chu soldiers behind him could react, they shouted murder

Then it sounded from all around.

"Shoot me!"

General Qin yelled.

In an instant, 10,000 arrows were fired in unison, and they were lost and missed.

"My life is at rest!"

Qu Song only had time to scream, and together with Qu Ming who was tied to the wooden frame, he was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows.

Dozens of meters away on both sides of the road, those Qin soldiers who were hiding behind the trees under the cover of night, or lying on the ground to cover up, shouted and killed together, and rushed out to kill the three thousand Chu soldiers on the road.

The night attack was ambushed.

The panicked 3,000 Chu soldiers were ambushed by the 5,000 Qin troops who had been prepared for a long time.

Coupled with the fact that the main general was shot on the spot, the dragons were leaderless, and the command system of the Chu army completely collapsed.

The three thousand Chu troops were in chaos in an instant.

The Chu soldiers who were left behind fled straight to the loop, and the Chu people who walked in front didn't care whether the Qin army camp was in front of them, and just ran wildly.

The Chu soldiers in the middle were unable to advance or retreat, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, causing a series of falls and trampling, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

Under such circumstances, the Chu army could not form a formation at all, and was killed by the Qin army that rushed over and screamed miserably.

The Qin soldiers' faces were excited, they waved their sword blades, spears and halberds swept away, and flesh and blood flew on the road.

This battle has been decided from the beginning.

On a high ground, Zhao Tuo looked at the dark battlefield in the distance, and at this time, the shouting and killing had gradually subsided, and he had received a battle report from the front.

The Chu general Qu Song was killed by random arrows on the spot, and the 3,000 Chu troops were all defeated.

Qin Jun, won.

"Let them collect their troops, since Qu Song is dead, even if the Pengcheng Chu army gathers again, they will not dare to pursue us, so there is no need to waste time on them." Zhao Tuo issued a military order.

Xi Qigu answered, and hurriedly sent short soldiers to inform the Qin army to collect troops.

Zhao Tuo turned around again and smiled at the few Chu captives who were taken by his side: "Qu Song is also a general of the Chu army, hasn't he heard about Pang Juan in the past? Now it's the same way to die with Pang Juan, hehe."

The two Chu people, Heavy and Dou Yuan, hurriedly sneered: "The strategy of the military waiting is comparable to Sun Bin in the past, how can it be compared to the Qu Song Dynasty, and it is also an honor for him to die under the arrows of the military waiting."

On the contrary, Zhong Liyi sneered: "Pang Juan was obviously defeated and killed by himself, how could he be shot by an arrow, the military is inevitably far-fetched, and he also compares himself to Qi grandson, hehe......

….

Zhao Tuo rolled his eyes, he heard the mockery in the other party's tone, and he didn't bother to argue with Zhong Liyi, but he fell into inferiority.

He turned to himself and looked into the darkness again.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo ignored him, Zhong Liyi felt a touch of admiration in his heart.

Although he said sarcastic words, he was actually frightened by the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him.

Qu Ming's strategy has many flaws, and generals with a little experience will not easily believe it, but it is limited to not falling for his plan.

There are few people who are as bold as this Zhao Junhou, and they really dare to release Qu Ming, and they will plan it, and use Qu Ming's strategy to break through the resistance of Pengcheng, not only successfully breaking through the interception of the Chu army, but even following the strategy of Sun Bin in the past, ambushing Qu Song's 3,000 Chu army on the road and winning a big victory.

This wisdom and strategy.

Even if Zhong Liyi stood on the enemy's side, he was full of admiration.

"This son is very human."

Just when Zhong Liyi looked at the figure in front of him, his mind turned.

Zhao Tuo also looked in the direction of Pengcheng, and his thoughts were flying.

"Although we have passed Pengcheng, but yesterday in order to confuse Qu Song and Qu Ming, our army only walked more than ten miles, plus this night battle, we must let the soldiers rest for half a day before they can set off, so it is a delay of a day."

"Qu Ming confessed that Sima Zhaoping, the left Sima of the Chu State, had already led a large army to pursue behind, and it was only three or four days' journey away from us at most."

"Our army carries the wounded, and they can't walk more than three times a day

Ten miles, on the way, we have to break through the cities of Chu to get supplies, which is very delayed."

"The Chu army does not have these troubles, they can easily transfer food from the Chu cities along the way to replenish it, and the wounded can also be thrown in those cities, and even there are more horses and vehicles than us, so the Chu army can walk at least thirty miles a day, and even if it is forced to march, it ......is possible to travel forty or fifty miles a day."

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo's heart suddenly changed the joy of designing to kill Qu Song.

"Judging from it this way, even if you break through Pengcheng. But our army may not be able to reach Peiyi, and will be caught up by Nazuo Sima. This big battle can't be avoided."

"If we don't think about it, with a nearly double force gap, how difficult it will be for our army to win."

Zhao Tuo sighed lightly.

There is no longer the joy after the victory, but the sadness.

He couldn't help but turn his head to the west.

During this time, as long as Zhao Tuo felt worried, he would look in that direction.

There, it is the direction of Xianyang, and it is also her direction.

When people are in danger, they always need some emotional sustenance.

And Zhao Tuo, in addition to the belief of taking the robes home, also wants to see her.

"I'll go back, I will!"

"Wait for me."

Zhao Tuo whispered, his face full of determination again.

……

"You'll be fine, you won't."

In the city of Xianyang, the secluded Qin Palace.

Ying Yin Yan leaned against the window and looked east, muttering, her delicate little face full of worry.

At first, all that came back to Xianyang was news of the Qin army's victory.

Li Xin led a surprise army to break into Chu.

Break a city today.

Take a place tomorrow.

….

The Qin army's strange soldiers are getting closer and closer to the Chu capital Shouchun.

Under the special propaganda of the government, Xianyang City, and even the entire Qin State, were filled with the joy of victory.

The Qin people were full of optimism, believing that the state of Chu was too big.

Under the overwhelming offensive of the Qin army, the land of Jing and Chu will repeat the fate of the Three Jins, the land will be the land of Qin, the Chu people will be reduced to the Qin people, and the banner of Great Qin will be planted in the vast land south of the Huaishui.

And Li Xin, also known as the reincarnation of Wu Anjun by many Qin people, believed that he would lead the Qin army to completely end this troubled era.

But unexpectedly, Li Xin was defeated.

When this astonishing news came back to Xianyang, the excited Qin people were like being poured a basin of cold water in front of them, and they were completely cold to the bottom of their hearts.

Some people in the market said that Li Xin was defeated and that the 30,000 Qin army was annihilated.

Then this person was taken down by the Qin officials, first shaved his hair for the crime of gossip, and then was dragged to the place where the king built the palace, as a laboring minister.

It is said that the king decreed that those who dared to speak up about Li Xin's affairs should be punished by law.

In Xianyang City, everyone was silent.

But within a few days, news came back of the heavy defeat of the Mengwu army.

The whole Xianyang boiled.

Some people say that the 200,000 Qin army was wiped out, and more than a dozen soldiers died.

Some people say that Li Xin died in the chaos and had been beheaded by the Chu general Xiang Yan.

It is also said that Changping Jun rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu, and Huaiyang had fallen into the hands of the Chu people.

……

It is difficult to distinguish between true and false news, and the Qin court did not publicly announce the true war situation, but the control of speech became more and more strict.

The slightest inappropriate speech will be punished severely.

However, the defense of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and this practice makes the Qin people more and more worried.

Even in the Qin Palace, there was an atmosphere of panic and worry.

Yingyinyan's identity makes her know the front-line battle situation more clearly than the common people.

Li Xin was defeated and was chased and fled by the Chu army.

Huaiyang rebelled, and Changping Jun, who had always been very good to her and Fusu, openly rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu.

Mengwu suffered a great defeat,

The Qin army suffered numerous casualties.

In addition to these, the news of that person, Yingyin Yan has nothing to know.

The front line was a mess, and there were many Qin generals at the military level who died in battle, and she was very worried, not knowing if there was him among them.

"No, he's always been very good. Even if Li You dies, he won't die."

Yingyin cheered herself up, but her eyes were also a little moist.

"You're going to tell me stories, tell me the story of Vachu, so you must come back."

A maid came over to give a report.

Her brother, Gongzi Fusu, went to meet Qin Wangzheng again.

At this moment, Yingyin Yan's heart hung up.

Father, his temper has not been very good lately.

Dongjun who took off
