After the march route of the Wang's army was published in the newspapers, it was soon spread by the spies in the territory of Dashang to the main force of the Zhou army led by Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya.

"Father, what is the purpose of the king's move? Judging from the information that has been passed down from the intermediary, the prince of the emperor has already pulled out the camp and set off towards Bishui Pass, and it seems that he really wants to lead troops to support Lu Xiong, and intends to directly recapture Bishui Pass and take General Nangong, but why did he publish the marching route and strategic deployment in the newspaper, isn't this quite direct to tell us the secrets of the military situation?"

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard, looking like he was in control, and said: "This king has some conspiracies, really deep calculations, deliberately published the marching route in the newspaper, it seems that he is arrogant and arrogant, but in fact he has many calculations. ”

"I also hope that my father will solve my doubts. "Ji Fa gave his hand, there is no one who is on the throne at all, in fact, he can't afford anything in front of the immortals.

Jiang Ziya paused, and said: "First, it is a strong momentum, Lu Xiong was defeated in Bishui Pass, the merchant army was newly defeated, the momentum is not high, the marching route is reported, although it is a bit absurd, but it is also a manifestation of self-confidence, at least some people will believe that everything is still in the hands of the king of Zhou, since the military deployment is reported, there must be the confidence of returning victorious, and it can also boost the morale of the front-line soldiers." ”

"The second is to let us underestimate the enemy, how did the king feel after hearing the news? Do you think that the king of Xuan got carried away because he wiped out Lei Zhenzi's small army of soldiers and horses?"

Ji Fa nodded.

Jiang Ziya said meaningfully: "This is the news that the king really wants to convey, this time if we really think that the king of the river is carried away and doesn't take the merchant army seriously, and when the merchant army rushes to Bishui Pass, the two armies are fighting, I am afraid that our army will suffer for a while." ”

"Furthermore, is the content of this posting, does the king think that the marching route and deployment of this posting are true or false?"

"Nature is fake. Ji Fa looked puzzled, since this was all the calculation of the King of Zhou, with the depth of the King's thoughts, how could it be possible to publish the real deployment of the march in the newspaper?

"No, no. ”

"That's... Could it be true?" Ji Fa was shocked, there was really someone in the world who would make the real marching deployment public?

Jiang Ziya still shook his head: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, what matters is the king's attitude and our army's approach." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The king of the army will be published in the newspapers, it is already a provocation, General Nangong has captured the Bishui Pass, the border barrier of the Great Shang has broken a hole, our army can send troops deep into the Great Shang, ambush the soldiers and horses led by the king of the Xuan to come to reinforcements, if the merchant army has made everything public, but our army is afraid to use troops, how will the people of the world feel?"

Ji Fa frowned: "This...."

"This is not prudence, but cowardice, our army shouted for the heavens, shouted to crusade against the unenlightened monarch, the first thing is a momentum, so the minister will let General Nangong take the first step and take the Bishui Pass, this is to play the momentum of our army, and start the name of Shang to destroy Zhou Xing. ”

"Although there have been a lot of casualties now, General Nangong has successfully taken the Bishui Pass, and in terms of the world, the advantage lies in our army, if our army is still holding the pass under the condition that the enemy's strategic deployment is open, this "momentum" will be weak. ”

Ji Fa looked embarrassed: "The lonely king knows what his father means, our army is crusading against the undaoless faint king, what we want is a momentum, attracting the princes of the world to jointly cut down merchants, but now my army is still on the march, far away from Bishui Pass, if you want to send troops to ambush, you can only send out the soldiers and horses in Bishui Pass..."

Jiang Ziya helped his beard: "Yes, this is another layer of the calculation of the king of Xu, there are not many soldiers and horses in Bishui Pass, if you want to succeed in the ambush, there must be no less soldiers and horses, if Lu Xiong takes advantage of this road to leave and leads the army to attack Bishui Pass again, it will be difficult for General Nangong to defend it." ”

"How should this be good? It's not to send troops, it's not to send troops, it's not a plan...."Ji Fa clapped his hands, looking helpless: "This plan is really vicious!"

"The minister has already made arrangements. Jiang Ziya got up and said: "The minister has sent General Qi Gong to lead his troops, and the light car Jian rushed to Bishui Pass, and at the same time informed Lei Zhenzi with the Shimen Yujian, so that he would lead 10,000 troops on the same day and ambush the king of Zhou. ”

"Father is like this..."Ji Fa was happy at first, and then still frowned: "A small group of soldiers and horses is faster than a large army marching, so it can save a few days, that is, Lu Xiong is attacking, and the time required to hold on is shorter, with the ability of General Nangong, he should be able to hold it, but Lei Zhenzi led 10,000 soldiers and horses, can he succeed in the ambush?"

Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "Success or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is the potential, success is naturally good, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed, since you have won the Bishui Pass and won a big victory, a little defeat is insignificant, but it can also rub the arrogance of the soldiers, lest they be proud and complacent." ”

Ji Fa nodded, this is indeed the best way at the moment, even if Lei Zhenzi's 10,000 people are all wiped out, he himself can retreat as before, as long as he doesn't lose senior generals, it doesn't matter if he just loses some ordinary soldiers.

Can... He was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, they were all Xiqi's soldiers, and he would send it when he said it, so it was inevitable that he would not feel good.

"The king's focus should be on the rise and fall of the whole world, not the life and death of a soldier, and the ambush may not fail, it should be fifty percent certain. Jiang Ziya saw Ji Fa's expression like this, and mentioned it slightly.

When Ji heard this, he bowed his head slightly, which was considered to be a response.

.........

Lei Zhenzi in Bishui Pass led his troops out again, and after the plan was set, he sent scouts to search around while marching, paying close attention to the movements of the army under the King of Xu.

A few days later, the whereabouts were discovered.

Lei Zhenzi couldn't help but be stunned, King Su is really an honest man, and the marching route of the army is really exactly the same as what is published in the newspaper, that is, there is a mountain and a river, and there is no change.

Immediately, he did not hesitate, in order to avoid the detection of the horses and expose their intentions, so that the merchant army was on guard, recalled all the horses, and set off directly.

Zhou Jun suffered from Dou Rong's disturbance, and he practiced the ability to look at the stars, at this time the time had passed, and the autumn night, the weather was slightly cold, and it was the time to sleep the deepest.

The big white moon hung high, and the quiet light shone on the earth, three points soft, seven points mysterious, covering the camp of the merchant army.

Looking at the camp not far away, Lei Zhenzi beckoned to the soldiers in ambush behind him.

It is certainly easy to succeed in ambushing on mountain roads or waterways, but since the king dares to make the route of the march public, how can he not guard against the ambush of the Zhou army?

On the other hand, the camping place is different, and the garrison is more or less lax.

After a while, I saw an elite soldier in armor and armor, taking advantage of the night to quietly move towards the camp of the merchant army, and they moved quickly to kill the soldiers guarding the camp gate.

It may be that the Shang army didn't think that they would be ambushed at the door of their own house, or these elite knives of the Zhou army were too fast, but in short, the infiltration was very successful, and there was no sound at all.

The main force led by Lei Zhenzi then followed closely.

Judging from the current situation, the plan to turn passive ambush into active attack has been successful.

When the whole army entered the merchant camp, Lei Zhenzi waved his hand and decisively ordered:

"Shoot the arrows!"
