?

Xiang Ye rode his horse to the front of the Chu army, and shouted loudly with a rein: "Is it General Xiang Tong's team in front?" ”

The general of the Chu army who led the army was Xiang Tong, and when he heard someone calling him, he hurriedly urged the horse to come out. As soon as he walked out of the big formation, the first thing he recognized at first glance was not Xiang Ye who was riding on horseback and wearing Hun clothes and armor, but the red horse with fiery red 'hair' all over his body.

"Are you the King of Xia?" Xiang Tong looked at Xiang Ye for a moment, and asked with some hesitation, "Why is King Xia dressed like this?" ”

"Huh." Xiang Ye smiled and arched his hand to Xiang Tong and said, "It's the widow, General Xiang has worked hard all the way!" ”

Seeing that it was really Xiang Ye, Xiang Tong hurriedly urged the horse to run towards him, and when he got closer, he turned over and dismounted, half-knelt on the ground, bowed, and said, "Xi Chu will see Xiang Tong to see King Xia!" ”

Xiang Ye also hurriedly dismounted, picked Xiang Tong up, patted him on the shoulder very affectionately and said: "The general doesn't have to be polite, Xia Guo is now facing a strong enemy, you are here, I will be relieved!" ”

After Xiang Tong got up, he waited for Xiang Ye to get on the horse before he turned over and stepped on the horse, and the two rode side by side between the Xia army and the Chu army.

Seeing Xiang Ye and Xiang Tong standing in the middle of the two camps, Bai Fu also urged the horse to rush up and said to Xiang Ye: "King, this place is still more than 100 miles away from Jiuyuan City, let's go back to Jiuyuan and talk about the old days!" ”

Xiang Ye nodded and said to Xiang Tong: "Let's go back to Jiuyuan City first, and then ask the general to lead the army to conquer the Xiongnu for my Great Xia!" ”

Xiang Tong responded, and beckoned the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to follow the Xia army all the way to Jiuyuan City.

At the same time that Xiang Ye and the others were heading towards Jiuyuan City, Li Xinpeng had already led 30,000 tiger battalion soldiers and horses into the territory of Yan Kingdom.

After 'advancing' into the territory of Yan State, he ordered the army to lurk in the woods or meadows during the day, and only at night did he lead the army to 'advance' towards Jixian County, and they were only fifty miles away from Jixian County, and they were still not discovered by the Yan army.

Li Xinpeng knew very well that 30,000 people had penetrated into the territory of Yan State, and they could only launch a surprise attack on Jixian County, and they must not be consumed here for a long time.

Although the strength of the Yan State is not as good as Chen Yu and Tian Rong, who rose up against Xiang Yu, they also have a certain military strength among the princes. Li Xinpeng's army was alone in depth, and once it was surrounded by the Yan army, there were no reinforcements in front and behind, so they could only choose to fight to the death.

The annihilation of the whole army was an unacceptable result for Li Xinpeng, and he wanted to draw up a plan, a plan that could attack Jixian County without Yan Guo noticing.

In the woods fifty miles away from Jixian County, Li Xinpeng squatted on the ground and drew circles with branches. There were four or five partial generals squatting beside him, and several of them were listening attentively to his analysis of the battle situation.

"We have now entered the depth of Yan Kingdom, and we are only fifty miles away from Jixian County." Li Xinpeng pointed to a circle on the ground and said: "All the cities will open the city 'gate' every day, and close the city 'gate' at night, my plan is to send a thousand people to enter Jixian County in the guise of the people, and wait until it gets dark to attack the Yan army guarding the city 'gate', and lead the army into the city with torches!" ”

Several generals listened to Li Xinpeng's plan and all nodded their heads, indicating that they had no objections.

"General Wu, you will lead the thousand people, you will unload some of the wagons that transport grain and grass, load some wood into the carts and transport them into the city, and if anyone asks, they will say that they are merchants selling timber." Seeing that no one objected, Li Xinpeng said to the nearest bearded general who leaned on him: "It is up to you whether you can take Jixian County or not, you must be careful!" ”

General Wu nodded and answered.

Li Xinpeng then said to the other generals: "You generals immediately inform the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, from this moment on, you must always be vigilant, don't let the Yan army discover our traces, and we can't fall short!" ”

Everyone responded, and went to gather the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to act according to the plan.

General Wu led a thousand Xia troops to change into civilian clothes and push a hundred and ten vehicles full of freshly cut wood towards Jixian.

Li Xinpeng waited in the woods with the rest of the Xia army, it was almost dawn, and they could only get out of the woods when it got dark again.

Zang Di didn't expect that Xiang Ye would send an army to attack Yan when he was fighting against the Xiongnu, although the Yan Yun assassin he invited to assassinate Xiang Ye had not yet returned to him, but he was not very anxious.

The Xia State is now facing the powerful Xiongnu, and Zang Di even thought that if he could not successfully assassinate Xiang Ye, he would quietly wait for the Xia State and the Xiongnu to lose both sides, and then he would send troops to occupy the land of the Xia State.

There is a good saying, "If the sky wants to die, it must be mad".

Zang Di was too confident, he underestimated Xiang Ye's revenge mentality, and also underestimated Xia Jun's continuous combat ability.

When General Wu led a thousand disguised Xia troops to Jixian, it was close to noon.

When he arrived at the city, General Wu looked up at the city, and the banner of the Yan Kingdom was fluttering gently in the breeze.

At the entrance of the city 'gate', several officers and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom stood lazily on both sides of the city 'gate', looking at the civilians coming and going with half-squinted eyes.

General Wu was about to lead the team into the city, when a Yan ** official stopped them: "What are you doing?" What's in the car? ”

Seeing that Yan Jun stepped forward to interrogate, General Wu hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said: "Master Jun, we are a merchant who sells wood, and we recently bought some good wood and specially transported it to Jixian County to sell it to make a few scattered small money." ”

"Make a little money?" The officer of the Yan Army circled around a large cart transporting timber a few times, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth: "Why don't I look at you as if you are making a little money?" ”

As soon as he heard what the officer of the Yan Army said, General Wu hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to 'touch' out of his arms and secretly stuffed a string of copper coins into his hand and said, "These small coins and buy a pot of wine for the military master to drink!"

The officer smiled and nodded, and said to General Wu, "I have some wine to drink, but what about my brothers? Could it be that I drink and let them open their eyes and watch dryly? ”

General Wu immediately understood the meaning, turned around and said to a colonel pretending to be a civilian behind him: "Hurry up, take some more money to the military master, and invite the military masters at the gate of the city 'gate' to drink a pot of wine!" ”

The little colonel answered, and then 'touched' out two strings of big money and handed them to General Wu.

General Wu held the two strings of big money in both hands and handed them to the officer of the Yan Army, glanced at the city gate, and asked in a low voice, "Master Jun, can we ......?" ”

After receiving the money, the officer of the Yan army smiled into a 'flower', patted General Wu's shoulder and said: "I don't think you will be bad people, this city does need some firewood now, enter the city quickly, enter the city early and sell it at a good price!" ”

"Okay!" General Wu responded, bowed to the officer of the Yan army, and said with a smile: "Master Chengjun Jiyan, if it is really sold for a good price, I will invite the military master again!" ”

"Go, go!" The officer of the Yan Army waved his hand at General Wu, and said with a very generous look: "Hurry up and go in!" ”

When he was stopped by the Yan army officer, General Wu was really shocked and covered with cold sweat, if the officer was not greedy for money, but carefully wiped the cart they pushed, he would definitely find that the cart was full of weapons, and Li Xinpeng's plan would be ruined by this change.

Fortunately, the officers of the Yan Army were bent on getting rich, and they did not really come to check on them, so they escaped this catastrophe.

After entering the city, General Wu led the team straight to the most prosperous street market in the city.

He knew very well that the 'trade' of wood was generally in a sparsely populated place, and the more prosperous the market, the more no one cared about these large pieces of wood.

Sure enough, when they entered the market and straightened all the vehicles and made a gesture of selling wood, no one came to ask for the price of the wood.

General Wu looked at the line lined up in a long line and frowned slightly.

After all, a thousand-person caravan is very rare, and they are all pulling wood, so it is inevitable that gathering together will not arouse the suspicion of the Yan army in the city.

General Wu decided to break up the group and spread it out first, waiting until it was dark to regroup.

Trucks full of timber walked towards several other markets, and in the end the team of 1,000 people dispersed into ten teams of no more than 100 people, shouting and selling timber everywhere in Jixian County.

Li Xinpeng led the Xia army to hide in the woods, and he had already made an agreement with General Wu to seize the city 'gate' after night.

There are still fifty miles from the woods to Jixian County, and if you start to leave the woods after the sky is just dark, the whole army can only rush to Jixian County when you are young.

Through the canopy, looking at the sky that was gradually darkening, Li Xinpeng's palms were drenched with fine beads of sweat.

Although this battle would not be the biggest battle he had ever experienced, it was the first battle since he independently led the troops without relying on Xiang Ye's strength to fight the enemy.

He had to win, for the sake of his reputation, and at the same time for the sake of Great Xia.

After the day was completely dark, he waved his arm and whispered to Xia Jun behind him: "Go!" ”

Nearly 30,000 Great Xia Tiger Battalions followed behind Li Xinpeng and marched towards Jixian County, and the cavalry was okay along the way, but the infantry suffered.

The infantry followed behind the cavalry, trotting all the way, running for thirty or forty miles in a row, and Li Xinpeng still had no intention of letting them stop and take a little rest.

"General, the soldiers can't run!" A member of the general caught up with Li Xinpeng and whispered to him.

Li Xinpeng turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that Xia Jun behind him was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, and he looked like he had no 'essence'.

"Tell the soldiers, under Jixian County, I will give them a day off. On this day, they can do anything, they can grab money, food, and even 'women'! Li Xinpeng frowned, whispered to the general, and then said, "Go!" ”

The partial general responded, turned his horse's head and whispered to the advancing Xia Jun: "The general said, take Jixian County to give the big guy a day off, you can grab money, food and 'women' when you go, no one will care about you!" ”

Hearing this, Xia Jun passed this sentence back one by one, and it didn't take long for the already tired and lifeless army to be boosted like a shot in the heart, and its morale was boosted again. ~
