The sun is shining, this is a good time, the autumn wind in mid-August is very cool, especially in the Guanzhong area, where the temperature changes are particularly obvious, and at this time, nearly 10,000 Han soldiers pounced on soft seats, sitting at a distance of five hundred steps from the Yongjun camp, some lying horizontally, drinking the wine in the water bladder, some chewing the beans in their hands, and some holding a long sword, wiping silently with a rag.

At the front of the Han army, Fan Hao and Niu Er sat on a big stone, each holding a wine glass and a leg of mutton, eating and drinking, so uncomfortable.

In front of them, there were about 300 people, holding slaughtered chickens and ducks in their hands, using chickens and ducks to describe the Yongjun, and scolding: "The headless rats of Yongguo, drive out to fight with Lao Tzu?" ”

This angry scolding did not anger the Yongjun, but closed the gate of the village, refusing to slack off, and once the Han army approached the camp, there were strong bows and crossbows, which made them miserable, so they had to intensify their efforts and insult the Yongjun with the most ugly and vicious words in their hearts, but in exchange, it was still quiet, extremely quiet.

The Han army was out of line, and the more than 300 people also scolded dryly, they hung their heads and returned to Fan Xu's team to pick up the water bladder and drink water, at this time, a team of soldiers was ready to step forward and continue to insult, Fan Xu put down the wine bag in his hand, sighed softly, looked at the Han army marquis who was about to appear and said: "Fuck, don't scold, they don't want to fight with us at all, you all go down and rest." ”

Niu Er also looked at Fan Xu helplessly, and sighed: "In this way, how can we be good?" ”

"There's no way, let's do it, let's collect the troops and go back first, and wait for the king's next instructions." Fan sighed softly, got up and threw the leg of mutton at a personal soldier, and said angrily: "I rewarded you." ”

Then, Fan Xu turned over and got on his horse, wiped his greasy hand on the horse bag, and ordered the sergeants: "Withdraw!" ”

……

The strong wall of the Yongjun army did not effectively block the attack of the Han army, and provided time for the reinforcements. ”

"Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that something happened to the Yongguo? Sima Xin pretended to be surprised, but Shi Cheng didn't have time to complain to him, so he only arched his hand and said: "The king of Sai doesn't know, the Han army has gone north from Chencang, marching to my Yongguo, the army is more than 300,000 before and after, and the momentum is huge, and now the king of my family has led the army to Yixian, confronting the Han army, specially ordered me to ask for help, hoping that the king of Sai can send reinforcements, if my Yongguo is defeated, I am afraid that the king of Sai will be difficult to protect himself." ”

Sima Xin actually heard about the Northern Expedition of the Han Army last night, but in the past few days, he has always hesitated whether to reinforce Zhang Han, especially since the Han army has 300,000 people, reinforcing Zhang Han, if Zhang Han is defeated, he really has no chance.

But if you think about it carefully, if Zhang Han is defeated, can Liu Bang still tolerate himself being the king in Guanzhong?

Between the two dilemmas, the most difficult to decide, Sima Xin did not answer Shi Cheng immediately, but fell into contemplation, Shi Cheng also saw Sima Xin's hesitation, he hurriedly added: "If the king of Sai refuses to send troops, the Yongguo is in danger, and one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Liu Bang Pifu, and will not tolerate the king of Sai to be king in Guanzhong, at that time, where will the king of Sai go?" ”

This sentence 'what to do' dragged Sima Xin from his contemplation, he suddenly shook his whole body, and cold sweat broke out involuntarily, until this time, he woke up like a dream, what was he struggling with this night? If you don't save it, the Yongguo will be defeated, and the Saiguo will dominate Guanzhongma? Besides, Zhang Han is so brave and invincible, what ability does he have to resist the Han army?

Just when Sima Xin figured this out and wanted to agree to Shicheng, an attendant hurriedly walked into the main hall, handed a token to Sima Xin with both hands, and said softly: "Dongchu sent an envoy to ask for a meeting, just outside the palace, does the king see it?" ”

"Why did the Chu envoy appear here?" Sima Xin couldn't believe it, the Eastern Chu Kingdom, I'm afraid it was more than 10,000 miles away from here, how did he come here? If it was for the Han army to go north, it would be completely impossible, and it would have only been a few days since the Han army entered the customs? Sima Xin was full of doubts in his heart, and the attendant on the side reminded again: "King, why don't you see it?" ”

At this time, Deng Cong, the minister in the main hall, also said in a deep voice: "King, don't hesitate, life and death are all in one, if the Yongguo is destroyed, the southern barrier is gone, the Han army is advancing along Xianyang to the north, Liyang is a thing in the pond sooner or later, besides, we only have 30,000 troops available, which is less than three percent of the Yongguo, and the Yongguo is not enough to fight, how can we match the Han army head-on?" Or follow the strength of Yongguo, defeat the Han army, and Dongchu's visit at this time must be related to the war, the king is unprepared to see it, and see the purpose of his trip. ”

After speaking, Deng Cong looked at the waiter again and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and bring the envoy of Dongchu in." ”

The chamberlain was reprimanded by the prime minister, hurriedly sang the promise, and hurriedly retreated, at this time, Deng Cong was no longer silent, he looked at the restless Shi Cheng, and comforted: "Don't worry, my king will not die without help, besides, the country of you and me is only separated from Xianyang, no more than a hundred miles away, you can arrive in one day, and we will try our best to help you." ”

Shi Cheng saw Prime Minister Deng Cong speak, and his heart was a little relieved, and at this time, Deng Cong looked at Sima Wenlong, the great of the Saiguo, and asked with a smile: "What does the general think?" ”

"Hehe, I don't have any opinions, it mainly depends on how the king decides." Wen Long glanced at Sima Xin, Sima Xin had secretly decided to reinforce Yongguo at this time, and Deng Cong's strong statement and Wen Long's swinging willows with the wind made Sima Xin's decision even more resolute, at this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the hall, and a sturdy middle-aged man followed the chamberlain into the main hall, and the middle-aged man came to Shi Cheng's side, stood side by side with him, and saluted Sima Xin: "Under Sima Jurong, meet King Sai." ”

"Hehe, are you the envoy of the Eastern Chu State?"

"It's not a secret, I'm just the scout tun chief of the Eastern Chu State in Guanzhong, and I came to visit His Royal Highness the King of Sai on the order of the king of my family, just because of his special status, so he pretended to be a special envoy, and asked His Royal Highness the King of Sai to forgive me." Although Sima Jurong looked rude, he was polite when he spoke, which made Sima Xin's first impression of him very good, and he smiled at this time: "Okay, I don't blame you, you say, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, I'm just on the order of the king of my family, to send a word, Yongguo is dead, Guanzhong is lost, the heroes are rising, and the king is in danger, and I ask the king to decide for himself, whether to rescue the Yongguo, I have to rush to the country of Zhai to see King Zhai, so I won't bother the king of Sai." Sima Jurong asked for his token from the hand of the chamberlain and was about to leave, but Shi Cheng hurriedly called out to him: "General Sima go slowly." ”

Sima Jurong looked back, Shi Cheng caught up a few steps, and said with a smile: "I also want to go to Zhai Kingdom, wait for me to finish my errands in a while, can you go along?" ”

Sima Jurong thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

Sima Jurong left, Sima Xin also came to the center of the hall, Xiang Zhuang sent the words very heavy, Yongguo died, the heroes rose, indeed, Yongguo perished, Saiguo is not guaranteed, Saiguo is gone, how can he be the king, the king is in danger, very intriguing, thinking of this, Sima Xin looked at the big Sima Wenlong, and shouted: "Gather 30,000 soldiers and horses, I will personally lead the troops, let's gallop to the aid of Yongguo, and march to Yixian." ”

"Whoa."

……

Thirty miles east of Yu County, here is the widest plain place, a gallop road leads straight to the east of Yi County, here was used by Liu Bang as a military camp at this time, nearly 300,000 troops are stationed here, the company camp is fifty miles, the momentum is extremely huge.

And Liu Bang did not stay in the camp, the area of Yuxian County used to be the best place for pornography, gambling and drugs, there are beautiful women like clouds, such as Liu Bang and other womanizers, but also feel that this is heaven, he ordered someone to quietly buy a few good-looking women to hide in the mansion, and then, he also lived in the county government of Yuxian County, and arranged all the generals to live in the barracks, today Han Xin came to meet Liu Bang, and happened to catch up with Fan Hao insults and failed to call the Yongjun camp, and could not find Han Xin, so he hurriedly came to find Liu Bang, and several people met in the county mansion.

Han Prime Minister Xiao He, strategist Li Shiqi, general Li Shang, Guan Ying, Lu Juan, general Han Xin and others all sat on both sides of the lobby, although everyone knew why Liu Bang had always stayed in Yu County these days, but a day or two of pastime was not harmful, and no one deliberately persuaded Liu Bang.

Fan Xu complained angrily: "The Yongjun closed the gate of the village, and didn't give me a chance at all, they didn't even go to war, and if it goes on like this, morale will definitely be blocked, and I hope that the king will think of other ways, otherwise, I won't do this vanguard." ”

At this time, Liu Bang also looked at Han Xin with a little worry, and sighed: "If this continues, the supply of grain and grass is also a problem, and we must find a way to solve the siege." ”

Han Xin seemed to have expected the arrival of this day, he looked at Liu Bang, clasped his hands into fists and saluted slightly, and then smiled: "Don't worry, the king, I have a plan to break the enemy." ”

"Oh? Let's hear about it. ”

"I wonder if the king has ever heard of a plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements?" Han Xin made a fool of himself, smiled slightly, and then said: "The so-called siege of the city to send reinforcements, that is, we pretended to attack Zhang Han, but the surprise army attacked the reinforcements of the Zhai State, the army of the Zhai State was frustrated, and they must retreat. ”

"Siege for reinforcements? But will Sima Xin send troops at this time? Liu Bang was puzzled, but on the side, Li Shiqi smiled and said, "Why bother? Why don't I send an envoy to King Zhai and persuade him to defect to the king, if King Zhai is willing to surrender, wouldn't it be better if we didn't spend a single soldier to take the country of Zhai? ”

"Hehe, Lord Li thinks too much, if it is not as I expected, in the next two days, the news of Zhai Guo's southward movement will come." Han Xin laughed confidently.
