Chapter 320: Suishui Scolding Battle
"Chu General Xiang Qu is infected with wind and cold, and it is difficult to lead the army to fight?"
"Therefore, tens of thousands of Chu troops can only shrink into Fulisai, and dare not camp on the west bank of Suishui to confront our army?"
In the Qin army camp outside Zhuyi City, when Zhao Tuo heard the news that the scouts had gone to great lengths to find out, his first reaction was a little confused.
Chu will Xiang Qu.
Isn't this the big man of Chu who "shook hands" with him Zhao Tuo on the main hall of the Qin Palace back then?
It's really a narrow road.
It's just that this guy's strong body is so strong, why did he get the wind chill?
Zhao Tuo had some doubts in his heart, but this matter was really hard to say.
After all, it's winter, and it's cold and windy on the shore of Suishui, so it's normal to accidentally get caught with wind chill.
As soon as he received the report, Zhao Tuo immediately ordered these infected Qin soldiers to gather in a separate barracks and isolate them from ordinary soldiers to avoid infection.
In addition to the ordinary soldiers, there was even a military waiter-level general in the Qin army who had been recruited and had been moved to Zhuyi City to be treated and maintained by doctors.
Qin Jun is like this, Chu General Xiang Qu accidentally contracted the wind and cold, but it is also said in the past, it can only be said that he is really unlucky.
"I'll just say, why did those Chu people just give up Zhuyi, burn the grain and run, they didn't dare to fight with our army, it turned out that what Xiangqu was infected with the wind and cold. Hahaha, it would be fun if he died directly from the wind cold." The black buttocks laughed, and his words were full of mockery.
The others had excited looks on their faces, and the enemy general was sick, and this was an opportunity.
"Before, the general was reluctant to cross the Sui River to the south, because he was afraid that the Chu army would block it, and our army would need to fight with the Chu army when crossing the river, and he was afraid that the other party would come to attack one and a half crossings. Now that the Chu general Xiangqu is sick and difficult to walk, the Chu army has all shrunk near Fulisai, and there is no one to stop it on the west bank of Suishui, so our army can cross the river smoothly and go straight to the heart of the Chu State, and make a great achievement in one fell swoop!"
A soldier said excitedly.
Even the two lieutenants, Shima and Zhao Guang, were moved.
"If our army can cross the Suishui River and go south, and break into the hinterland of Chu State, Xiang Yan's army in the Huaibei battlefield will definitely be defeated, so that the general will find a fighter plane and annihilate it in one fell swoop. In this way, our army will be the first merit, and the merit will be greater than staying here and confronting the Chu people."
It's not that the two of them haven't thought about the possibility of Chu pretending to be sick about Xiang Qu.
But whether it is a real illness or a fake illness, the situation in front of him is indeed that the Chu army is shrinking in Fuli, and there is no one to defend the west bank of Suishui, and the Qin army can easily cross the river to reach the opposite bank, this is an opportunity!
On the other side, even if the enemy really had any tricks, they firmly believed that under the leadership of Zhao Tuo, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army would definitely be able to break through the Chu army of Fu Lisai and win a big victory!
The generals under his command were gearing up, but Zhao Tuo was not interested.
Why would he take a risk when he was sitting here and winning?
Just to fight for a big achievement?
Zhao Tuo broke 100,000 Qi troops in Zhencheng, and his merits were already soft.
Not to mention that in a few months, the Chu army will collapse on its own if it can't be consumed, and he will be able to get a lot of military merits if he moves his army again at that time, and he can also get a lot of military merits, so why go out to find the cold wind blowing in this winter.
In the matter of military disputes, the word is stable.
This is the essence of General Wang's tactics.
Zhao Tuo vetoed the generals' proposal to cross the river and attack.
Moreover, when he thought of Xiang Qu's name, the big figure he saw in the main hall of the Qin Palace came to his mind.
With a majestic appearance, eight feet tall, and muscles all over his body, he looks like a mighty general, and he doesn't know how good his physical fitness is.
Even if this kind of person is hit by the wind and cold, will he really not even be able to get off the bed, and let the army under his command give up guarding the Suishui coast and give the Qin army a chance to cross the river?
[In view of the general environment,
Could it be something too coincidental, too deliberate.
Zhao Tuo's heart moved, and his face showed a touch
Wicked laughter.
"You can send someone to put a message among the Chu people, saying that I, Zhao Tuo, are also infected with the wind and cold, and can only rest on the couch and cannot lead the troops."
"Let them pass on the news, and let the Chu people on the other side of Suishui know."
……
"Zhao Tuo contracted the wind cold?"
"How could it be so coincidental?"
When the news that Qin general Zhao Tuo was infected with the wind and cold and could not stay and move around reached the Chu army camp in Fu Lisai.
Chu Jiang Xiang Qu and Jing Tong stared at each other, and they were speechless for a while.
After a while, Jing Tongcai said, "I heard that when Zhao Tuo was inspecting the Suishui River, a cold wind blew, and then he couldn't get out of bed the next day."
"You deserve it, it's better to get caught in the cold and die with a whimper!"
Xiang Qu scolded, but his face was cloudy.
He originally wanted to release the news that he was infected with wind and cold, and induce Zhao Tuo to let down his guard so that the Qin army could cross the river. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tuo not only did not move, but also claimed that he was infected with the wind cold, which is too much of a coincidence, right?
"Pretending to be sick!"
"He's faking illness!"
Xiang Qu and Jing Tong glanced at each other, and they actually spoke together, and the protagonists in the words were all the Qin general Zhao Tuo.
"This son is cunning, and he is pretending to be sick like me, could it be that he saw my seduction plan and knew that I was deliberately leading him across the river?" Xiang Qu's thick eyebrows shrunk into a ball.
Jing Tong thought for a while and said, "Zhao Tuo's son is indeed very resourceful. He declared that the wind and cold should be a response to the general's illness, and I think he saw through the general's plan to pretend to be sick and deliberately came to tease us."
"Damn, if I catch him, I'll have to tear this shaft apart."
Xiang Qu scolded angrily, the good plan he racked his brains to come up with was actually seen through by the other party, and his heart was full of injustice.
After scolding, Xiang Qu was full of unwillingness.
"Since this Zhao Tuo sees through my plan, he can't deceive him. Then I won't come to him in vain, just write a letter to invite him to fight, and see how this person responds!"
Jing Tong opened his mouth, but glanced up at Xiang Qu and saw that he was already anxious, so he could only sigh secretly and close his mouth again.
After this period of contact, he has discovered that this General Xiang still has a slight strategy in normal conditions on weekdays, and he can take care of the overall situation, and has the demeanor of a commander in general.
It's just that he is more impatient, and once things encounter setbacks, he is easy to get impatient.
Inexplicably, Jing Tong always thinks of the Zuo Sima who killed himself in Surabaya.
……
"Xiang Qu invited me to lead my army across the river to fight him in a decisive battle?"
Zhao Tuo took the silk letter sent by the envoy of the Chu people, swept it over, and couldn't help laughing.
Chu put Xiang Qu at the front of the letter, first recalling his "friendship" with Zhao Tuo in Xianyang, then praising Zhao Tuo's exploits on the battlefield of Qidi, and finally expressing his wish to fight a fair battle with Zhao Tuo at the end of the letter.
"The Chu army promised not to attack when our army crossed Suishui, and let our army choose a decisive battle with him on the west bank of Suishui, just like those nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone set up their positions for a fair battle. Hey, that's a lot of fun."
Zhao Tuo shook the silk book, and smiled at the generals on the left and right: "You still thought about crossing the river while the other party was sick, but now do you see it? This General Xiang is a good hand at pretending to be sick, he is fishing, so he wants to fish you and others across the river."
The generals were embarrassed and said, "The general is wise, and the little girl of General Chu is plotting, how can she deceive the general."
The black buttocks wondered again, "Why did that ditch shaft want to trick us into crossing the river, when he was so sure that he would defeat us on the other side of the river?"
Zhao Tuo laughed.
"I don't know what Xiang Qu thinks, but ...... Ah Juan, write me a reply letter to General Xiang."
"Let's just say that I don't have a good wind and can't blow the wind, I'm afraid I won't be able to lead the army across the river, so I can only apologize to General Xiang. By the way, I also want to express my admiration in the letter, General Xiang contracted a cold and recovered in a few days, and I can only rest on the couch, General Xiang's body is really enviable.
」
……
"Zhao Tuo, you dare to ridicule me in the letter!"
In the Chu army camp, Xiang Qu was furious with the reply letter, and with both hands, he tore the silk book in half on the spot and threw it on the ground.
Jing Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't be angry, general, in my opinion, then Zhao Tuo may have made up his mind. No matter what we do, he will not cross the water."
After Xiang Qu finished scolding, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered: "Not necessarily, this son is young after all, and the young man's enthusiasm is the age of impulsiveness, since he is invited by good words, he can't come, then I will send someone to insult him and provoke him over." This Zhao Tuo is in a high position at a young age, if he insults him viciously, he will definitely be like thunder, and then it will be our fighter!"
Xiang Qu's radical method is not nonsense, because the values of this era are like this.
Dignity is valued very much in this era.
A casual scolding may be at the cost of my life.
Men are hot-blooded, even if they are low-level rangers, they often disagree and draw their swords against each other.
This is called a pifu rage, blood splattered five steps.
For the nobles in high positions, no one should be allowed to insult them.
For example, when Zhao Tuo was chased by Zuo Sima Zhaoping, he left a message and insulted him all the way, making Zhaoping's anger like thunder, and he wanted to kill Zhao Tuo as soon as possible, which caused him to be carried away by anger and make a series of wrong decisions, which finally caused the Chu army to suffer a defeat in Surabaya.
Therefore, Xiang Qu was also ready to send someone to insult Zhao Tuo, arouse his youthful anger, and in anger, lead his troops across the river to fight him.
With the military order of General Xiang issued.
On the opposite side of Zhuyi, in the water, several small boats carrying many Chu people approached Zhuyi on the opposite bank.
Those high-voiced Chu people who had been carefully selected saw that the distance was almost up, and the Qin army sentries on the other side were also approaching, so they let go of their voices and shouted.
"Zhao Tuo is as timid as a mouse, and his head is shrunk like a turtle!"
"Qin Jun is a coward, he only dares to huddle in the camp tent to keep warm, how weak he is!"
"What Shijian, Zhao Guang, Xi Qigu, a group of turtles, pigs and dogs, if you dare to come out, one sword at a time, cut off your heads and kick them!"
"Black buttocks and black buttocks, if you have the ability to come out and show your ass, you will be stuck to death with a bamboo pole! Plug your ass full of bamboo!"
……
"Wow...... I'm angry!"
In the Qin camp, the black buttocks were furious and shouted, "General, they are scolding you, you quickly let me lead my troops over and cut off the heads of these shafts, but the prince must cut off their tongues."
Although the generals who were named and abused by the Chu people, such as Shijian, Zhao Guang, and Xiqigu, did not speak, their faces were not good-looking.
The most important reputation and dignity in this era, especially no matter what their background is, they are now in a high position, with thousands of soldiers under their command, those Chu people insult them in front of many Qin soldiers and soldiers, these high-ranking generals, if they don't act, it will really be a loss of dignity.
Zhao Tuo glanced at the generals' expressions, not only was he not angry, but laughed.
The black buttocks hurriedly said, "General, they scolded you in public, why are you still laughing?"
Doesn't this General Zhao still like to be scolded?
Zhao Tuo's smile decreased slightly, shook his head and smiled: "What scolding me, don't you see it? He's in a hurry!"
"That's a hurry."
"That's why I made this decision regardless of my identity, wanting to provoke you and others, lead the army across Suishui, and fight him to the death."
The generals nodded silently, they could also see what the Chu people were thinking, but did they have to be scolded by their heads like this, and they couldn't fight back if they didn't do anything?
"General, what do you say? I want to cut out their tongues!"
Black Buttocks said through gritted teeth.
Zhao Tuo was not angry, but said with a smile: "It's just a matter of scolding, why be so angry, and cut people's tongues, this is too violent."
"These Chu people have mouths to scold you, don't you have lips and tongues? Just go find some soldiers with loud voices and scold them."
"By the way, our army is scolding here, and the general can't hear it yet. Black buttocks, you lead people to shout and curse along the river, especially the Suishui in the section of Fu Lisai, and use your voice to greet the "resourceful" General Xiang."
"Oh, didn't we make a loudspeaker that amplifies the sound in Wei Di before? You ask the craftsmen in the city to make some of them, and scold them with them, so that they can hear clearly."
"Quack, General, my General Zhao!"
The black-hipped woman laughed dryly, and dozens of lines greeting General Xiang's family had already appeared in her mind.
On this day, on both sides of the Suishui River, foul language flew all over the sky.
Thousands of Qin and Chu soldiers scolded each other across the water, and the scolding was endless......
