The 300,000 army of Cao Shen personally in command, the third prince of Qin, Zhao Changxuan, as the deputy commander, and Xiao Yuming as the vanguard, has left Chang'an and will arrive in Chu in a few days.

At the same time, the state of Chu also broke out a major war with more than 300,000 soldiers and horses with the state of Jin on its own borders, and finally ended hastily at the cost of heavy losses of the state of Chu.

When Xiang Nantian led an army of 600,000 to attack Wei, he had almost taken away most of the cavalry of Chu, including all the heavy cavalry, because of the serious loss of cavalry caused by the defeat in Wei, it also indirectly led to the defeat of the first battle between Chu and Jin.

The forces of the Jin State continued to advance within the territory of the Chu State, and before the reinforcements of the Wei State arrived, the Chu State could be said to be defeated and retreated.

Half of it is because of strategic transfers, and the other half is because it can't really be beaten.

About two days later, the Jin army in Qingzhou has expanded to 500,000, which can be described as a large number of generals, and for a time, it is also a fierce attack on the border city of Qingzhou.

At the beginning, the Jin army just stood in front of the city gate to call for battle, and Zhao Changqing obeyed Zhuge Liang's meaning, hung up the battle exemption card, and maintained the strategic policy of not clash head-on with the enemy.

In the end, the Jin army saw that no matter how they called the battle, they still did not see the movement of the Chu army, so they did not stop and began to attack.

Regardless of the cost of the attack, all kinds of siege equipment emerged in an endless stream, trebuchets, rolling oil trucks, etc., so that the Wei army not only sighed at the great cause of the Jin State, but also marveled at their extraordinary combat power.

It's just not afraid of death.

Batch after batch died, in droves, but still attacked day and night, regardless of timing.

only blindly defends and does not attack, which makes the Qingzhou soldiers in the border city more or less have opinions.

Zhao Changqing also ran over to ask Zhuge Liang, "Military advisor, just consuming it like this, it's not a solution! Just let the whole army defend, after a long time, they will be impatient in their hearts!"

In fact, for him, whether it is defensive or offensive is not very important now, he doesn't think about mediocre things for the time being, he just wants to repel the Jin army.

Qingzhou can't afford to lose, this is the bottom line of the Great Wei Emperor, and it has naturally become his bottom line.

Zhuge Liang replied: "My lord, in extraordinary times, we can only wait patiently, and when there is a problem with their supply, or when the heat and cold are too strong to withstand the sky, they will retreat, so that our casualties will be relatively small." ”

Zhao Changqing sighed helplessly: "This court is also true, it would rather send reinforcements to the State of Chu than send a single soldier to Qingzhou." Let this king go to war against a country, is this like a word?"

Zhuge Liang could only say about this: "The imperial court also has the hardships of the imperial court, and after the fiasco of Marshal Meng Haoran, it is not easy for the imperial court to gather 300,000 troops to enter the Chu State to crusade against the Jin army." ”

Zhao Changqing said worriedly: "But we can't all pin our hopes on the border city, in case the border city is broken, we don't even have a way to retreat, we can't sit still like this." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord Wang, we have forty armies and countless supplies, which are enough to ensure that the border city is impregnable if there are no accidents."

Why do you insist on taking the initiative? This kind of approach is inevitably a bit too much... It's too much of a rush for quick success. ”

"Eager for quick success?" Zhao Changqing snorted, frowned, and said, "What is the meaning of quick success? This king is now in the Wei State is already above 10,000 people, what else is there to be anxious for quick success?"

When Zhuge Liang was about to say something again, Zhao Yun came to report the enemy's situation, "Lord Qiqi, the enemy's vanguard general is named Chu Xin, who is good at onslaught, and his manpower is infinite, and he is used to the three armies of the Jin State. At present, he has arranged a vanguard army of 100,000 in Longyuan Ridge, which is only more than 60 miles away from our border city. ”

Zhao Changqing said slightly angrily: "What a crazy temperament, just 100,000 troops, dare to camp nearly 60 miles away from our army?

Zhao Yun said: "The enemy commander Ge Hong has arranged the army in the area of Mangshan, which is only more than seventy miles away from Longyuanling. ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "What is the terrain of Longyuan Ridge?"

Zhao Yun said: "Deep as a canyon, overgrown with grass and trees, next to the water source, its left forty miles, is a belt of lofty mountains, but there is no peak, it can be said that the retreat can be attacked and defended." ”

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "It seems that the general of the Jin army also knows the art of arranging troops, and our army must not be underestimated. ”

Although Zhao Changqing has a blind trust in Zhuge Liang, because he was very famous in the world in his previous life, this does not mean that he must listen to him in everything on the premise of temporarily abandoning mediocrity.

At this moment, another soldier came to report, and after seeing Zhao Changqing, he immediately knelt down and said: "Lord, there is a soldier of the Jin army outside the city, saying that he wants to give a gift to the prince." ”

"The enemy sent a gift to this king?" Zhao Changqing said in disbelief: "What kind of calculation did they play?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord Wang, be careful of deception, why don't you let him present the gift first?"

Before the soldier could get up, he said, "The enemy has left the gift under the city gate and has departed." ”

As a result, Zhao Changqing was even more puzzled, and ordered: "You go and open it to see what kind of gift it is, and come back to report it to this king." ”

The soldier said 'no' and then withdrew.

It was about the time of the tea kung fu, he went and returned, trembling and said: "Lord Wang, the little one... I dare not say what kind of gift this is. ”

Zhao Changqing is most annoyed by this set, "If you have something to say, spare you without guilt." ”

The soldier's face turned red, and he said, "Enemy army, a gift to the prince is... It's a piece..."

Zhao Changqing frowned, "If you want to speak, you can speak boldly, why do you have to be so spitting, if you don't say it directly, this king will cut off your head and sacrifice to the sky!"

The soldier immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Wang, what they gave me is a woman's belly pocket!

"A woman's belly pocket?" Zhao Changqing wondered: "Isn't this the original king's method of being angry with Nantian? Why, they see that the siege is hopeless, and they have nothing to do, and they want to take the opportunity to humiliate this king?"

Hearing His Royal Highness King Qi say this, Zhuge Liang's mood was a little stable, and he knew that it was not a good thing, and after learning about it, he was afraid that King Qi would do something annoying and angry, which would not be good.

Hearing him say this now, he is relieved, which means that His Royal Highness King Qi is not angry.

The soldier took out an envelope from his arms, arched it with both hands, and presented it to Zhao Changqing.

He made a look, Zhao Yun understood, and handed the letter to Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing opened the letter and saw that it was written:

"Zhao Changqing, as long as you are still a fucking man, you will fight to the death on the plain of more than 30 miles to the right of Longyuan Ridge, and each side will lead 50,000 horses, and the time is up to you!"

Zhao Changqing saw the content of this letter, smiled, handed it to Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others, and let them look at it, and then he said: "This person named Chu Xin is a rough man, and there are not many people who dare to talk to this king like this." ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled, and said in his heart: "The enemy's trick is inevitably too clumsy, and it is clearly a trap, and only a fool will get into it." ”

However, in the next second, his smile froze, and he really didn't want to believe the words of the prince he heard in his ears,

"Zhao Yun, send someone to tell the guy named Chu Xin, just say that this king should fight, the time is set at noon today, you are mobilizing 50,000 elite soldiers, and together with this king, you will meet this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”

Zhao Changqing's reason for going was simple.

You're not a man, your whole family isn't a man!

Dare to fight with this king? Fight in a group, and this king has never been intimidated!
