Xu Mao defeated Zheng Hou, and after cleaning up the battlefield, he sent people to Huai'an to receive prisoners, and then led an army of 20,000 to continue north.

Two days later, Xu Mao's army also drove down the vicinity of Pi and then set up camp.

In the camp, Xu Mao was reporting to Wang Sheng, and the camp was full of joy. Soon, after the victory, everyone focused on the most important thing in front of them.

"Your Majesty, the place where the princes and the coalition army have stored grain has not yet been discovered, and the coalition army has been building the dam for seven days, shall we destroy the dam first?"

"Yishui and Surabaya have a total of 10,000 troops, and your subordinates can break them in one battle with only 5,000 soldiers and horses, please give the order." Wei Jun stepped forward to ask for battle.

Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, if the embankment is broken, the coalition forces can still build it quickly, but it is a waste of time, but the city and the camp must be protected."

"Whoa!" Wei Jun nodded and retreated,

"The monarch has a plan, and he may be able to find a place for the coalition army to store food!" Xu Mao thought for a moment and said.

Hearing this, Wang Sheng hurriedly asked, "Xu Qing is what a good strategy, come quickly!"

"Your Majesty, this strategy needs one or two dead soldiers to carry out before it has a chance of success!" Xu Mao said.

Wang Sheng didn't ask any more, but nodded and said, "I understand! I will send two dead men."

......

In the camp of the coalition army, the Marquis of Qi was discussing and making decisions with the princes, and at this time, a doctor hurriedly walked away from the big tent, and after saluting, he couldn't wait to say: "Your Excellency, your lordship, just now the scouts intercepted and killed two Huaiguo scouts, grabbed a volume of information, and asked the king to check it!" As he spoke, he presented a broken brocade silk with both hands.

"Oh, what's the news?" Qi Hou saw Dr. Qing's eager expression, and immediately realized that the matter was not simple, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the brocade silk to check.

The brocade looks very broken, and there are still many places that have been stained red with blood, and many places on it have been erased by ink, but there are still some words that can be read clearly.

"Where the princes store their grain... Wangjun sent a large army..." Seeing the remaining words on it, Qi Hou's face changed instantly.

"The Huai people have already discovered the land of grain storage?" Qi Hou asked suddenly.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty doesn't know!" The doctor shook his head.

"Today, the scout team accidentally saw two Huaiguo scouts hurrying away, and then led a team of soldiers to surround and kill them while they were alive and snatched them!"

"Have you ever left a mouth alive? How could this bamboo slip be burned like this?" Qi Hou asked.

"Both scouts are dead!"

"Bang!" Qi Hou slapped it on the table hard, and said with a bad face, "Why don't you leave a living mouth?"

"The king is tolerant, so he found it in a hurry, in order to prevent them from escaping, so he summoned a team of soldiers nearby to arrest them, who knew that the two scouts were extremely powerful, the team of ten soldiers, four were killed, three were injured, and only then did the two scouts be killed."

"Even the two of them destroyed the brocade silk and defiled it with ink, but fortunately, the soldiers were in time, so they snatched the brocade silk from it, but unfortunately there are still places that are not clear!"

"Your Majesty, these two scouts are so elite, I think it must be that Huai Guo discovered our grain storage place and specially sent someone back to report the news!" Cui Lin, another secretary, said.

"Your Majesty, this kind of important information will definitely not only send a scout to report, although two people have been stopped, it is likely that there are scouts who have already passed the news back!"

"Your Majesty, this brocade is so broken, and the two scouts actually smeared it, Your Majesty thinks it is very suspicious, could it be a suspicious tactic?"

Qi Hou's face was ugly, and he didn't dare to bet. The food and grass of the army are important, and it is related to the life and death of these 250,000 troops.

After a quick weigh-in his heart, Qi Hou said: "Order people to send 10,000 horses to guard and transfer grain and grass, and at least 5,000 people will be required to transport grain and grass in the future, so that there can be no problems with the transportation of grain and grass, and at the same time expand the patrol range, once you encounter Huai State scouts, you will be killed!"

"Whoa!" The general immediately gave up, then turned and left the tent, and gathered his army for battle.

seigneur

The movement of soldiers and horses in the large battalion quickly attracted the attention of the Huaiguo scouts, how could an army of 10,000 people hide their whereabouts. And the scouts of the Huai State have been staring at the camp of the alliance of the princes.

Xu Mao's strategy was almost perfect, whether Qi Hou believed it or not, because he didn't dare to gamble. Once Huai really knew where the grain and grass were hoarded, the grain and grass would be in danger, and for safety, he could only send a large army to guard or transfer the grain and grass. In his opinion, no matter whether Huai Guo knew where the grain and grass were, it was right to send troops to protect the grain and grass.

And as long as he sent an army to protect the grain and grass, it would just fall into Xu Mao's calculations.

Soon the 10,000-strong army left the camp and slowly headed north, and immediately a group of scouts followed from afar. These scouts are all elite veterans, fierce in battle, and they are not afraid of the scouts of the army to strangle them. The rest of the scouts continued to monitor the Qi coalition camp.

The army of 10,000 continued to the north, and finally stopped near a water port, which was a river bay with a lake next to it, which was called Yingze, and was connected to Yingshui to the west, and the transportation was very convenient, and the grain and grass of the princes' allied army were transported here by river.

The coalition forces built a camp here to store grain and grass. The Huai scouts followed the army and finally found a place to hoard grain and grass, and then immediately sent someone back to report it.

Xu Mao successfully lured the alliance of princes to guard the grain and grass in a dead way, and Wang Sheng was overjoyed. After so many days, Wang Sheng was also under great pressure, and after learning the location of the grain and grass of the coalition army, he immediately ordered people to prepare the army.

"Your Majesty, there are 15,000 troops guarding the grain and grass of the Confederation and Zhou coalition forces, it is not easy to break, and it is less than fifty miles away from the coalition camp, if it is a big war, it will inevitably attract the Confederation and Zhou coalition forces, and if it is surrounded by the coalition forces, this battle will fall short!" Xu Mao said with some concern.

If the alliance of the princes marches in a hurry, the distance of fifty miles and two hours will definitely be reached, and there are fifteen thousand troops in the Yingze camp to guard, and it is not an easy thing to break through the camp in two hours and then burn the grain and grass.

What's more, Xiapi confronted the coalition camp, and if a large army was dispatched to attack Yingze, it would be easy to be discovered by the princes' coalition army.

If you want not to be detected, you can only use the cover of night to send an army of about 10,000 people to attack, but the success rate is too low.

Wang Sheng closed his eyes tightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly opened, and a flash of essence flashed in his eyes.

"Xu Qing, you lead the army to attack Surabaya and Yishui!"

"Whoa!" Xu Mao replied.

"This battle needs to cooperate with the army, attack Surabaya Yishui, and attract the princes' coalition to defend!" Wang Sheng said with a solemn face.

"Don't worry!" Xu Mao said confidently.

"Good! The others held on to Xiapi, and Lone personally led the army to Yingze!" Wang Sheng said directly.

"Your Excellency!" As soon as the words fell, Ram Shuo, Wei Jun and others wanted to dissuade them.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind!" Wang Sheng did not give them a chance to admonish.
