Hearing that Baili Ce should respond to this matter, Sima Jie said with a happy face: "In a few more days, Brother Baili will definitely feel relieved by today's wise move." ”

"Someone, come over with a pen and paper, Ben Shuai wants to write to His Majesty with the Baili Marshal. ”

The soldiers standing on the side hurriedly found pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a wide and thick wooden board for Sima Jie to write.

Sima Jie wrote hundreds of words freely, signed his name at the cashier's office, printed the handsome seal he held, and then handed the document to Bailice.

Baize hesitated, gritted his teeth, signed his name, and stamped his seal.

Then Sima Jie summoned two messengers, sealed the document in a lacquer cylinder in front of Bai Lice, and handed it to one of them.

The two messengers bowed and saluted, one person and three horses, and hurried to Chang'an.

Watching the messenger leave, Sima Jie and Bailice were in different moods.

The former was slightly excited, as if the achievement was at this time, and the latter somehow felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But it has become an established fact, and Bailice didn't think about persuading him again, just thinking about it, and let him go.

As soon as the messenger left, Sima Jie suddenly ordered: "Send an order to the whole army, speed up the march, and the commander must rush to Chenjun before sunset tomorrow." ”

"If there is anyone left behind, it will be dealt with by military law. ”

As soon as this order came out, the Qin army that conquered Liu Ji suddenly marched faster by three percent, and on the second day, they rushed to Chen County.

......

Chen County, Chen County, Long and Cao Shen stood on the city wall, looking at the Qin army surging like a tide, with serious faces.

Long He said indifferently: "Mr. Cao, Qin Guo's handwriting this time is not small, the last general has a cursory look, not to mention that there are 200,000 troops. ”

"Although the degree of its elite is not yet known, this momentum is clearly stronger than our army. ”

"With 50,000 weak troops blocking 200,000 strong troops, this general is not the reincarnation of Sun Wu, and I am afraid that my strength will not be enough. ”

Cao Shen glanced at Long and his indifferent expression, he didn't know that the other party wanted to clear the responsibility in advance, so he said with a smile: "General Long can do his best, if there is disharmony, Cao will explain it to the lord." ”

Long He chuckled softly: "In that case, Ben will thank Mr. here." Please rest assured, Sir that if you do not take the last step, the last general will never abandon the city and flee. ”

Cao Shen estimated the time when Zhang Liang left Pei County in his heart, and said: "General Long should not have too much pressure, the lord has another backhand, the general only needs to hold on for half a month, and this matter will be reversed." ”

Long He stared at the Qin army outside the city, and muttered to himself, "Half a month? ”

......

Chen County was in sight, and Sima Jie and Baili Ce did not have the idea of immediately launching a siege, but sent 20,000 troops to stand on guard, and ordered the rest of the army to cut down trees and set up camp.

Long He stood on the city wall and saw this scene, and immediately said to Cao Shen beside him: "The Qin army has come from afar, and its physical strength is very high, so it should not attack the city today." ”

"The last general wants most of the soldiers to rest on the city wall, leaving only some of the elite on duty on the city wall. What do you think, sir?"

In Long Ji's opinion, it is naturally impossible for the generals of the Qin army not to even understand the truth that "a tired army cannot fight for a long time".

At the same time, it is a pity that Long He feels that there are too few soldiers under his command, and they are too poor.

Otherwise, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Qin army, leading the troops to rush and kill, there will definitely be an unexpected gain.

When Cao Shen heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "The general only needs to give orders, and he doesn't need to care about Cao's thoughts." ”

"The lord arranged for Cao to supervise the army, but according to the military system, it must be done, not distrusting the general, and sending Cao to supervise. ”

"In the next big battle, Cao will never interfere with the general's command, please rest assured. ”

When Long Ji heard this, he just smiled and said: "Mr. misunderstood, and the last general asked Mr. for his opinion, not because he was worried that Mr. would go to the lord to complain, but because he respected the clever mastermind like Mr. ”

"If you don't feel annoyed, you can speak your mind. ”

"As the saying goes, if you listen partially, you will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be clear, and you don't want to be a fool who can't listen to other people's advice. ”

Cao Shen laughed and said: "The general is really a cheerful person, but it is Cao Mou, then you and I have to work together and work together in the future, so that we can repel the Qin army." ”

Long Ji also laughed and said: "With Mr.'s auspicious words, the last general will definitely live up to expectations." ”

After some words, there was inexplicably more tacit understanding and trust between the two, which was unexpected by the two.

The relationship between the prison army and the commander of the first army can be so harmonious, and the two of them can't help but sigh secretly in their hearts: Dealing with smart people is sometimes easy and easy.

Long Ji was right, Sima Jie and Bai Lize, from beginning to end, did not plan to attack the city today.

Even if the number of rebels on the city wall was reduced by half, Sima Jie and Bai Lice were unmoved.

Because they have consulted, they can't show it, and they win too easily.

In the evening, outside the city of Chenxian County, there was a new military camp.

In the evening, the people of Chen County, who went out of the city to hunt and collect firewood, saw the scene and immediately understood that it was the army of Qin that had called.

The army was overwhelmed, the whole city was closed, and the people who went out of the city to hunt and collect firewood should not think about returning to the city until the war was over.

At this time, there was a rumor in Chen County: the Qin army came to attack, if the Qin army captured Chen County, it would definitely order the slaughter of the city, and if everyone didn't want to die, they would support Pei Gong against Qin.

After the rumors spread, Long He clearly felt that the belligerent atmosphere in the city and the morale of the soldiers were much higher.

For this reason, Long He had to admire those strategists, who were obviously very thin and weak, and they could beat ten with one punch, but in terms of bad intentions, the generals were probably less than one-tenth of the opponent.

......

In the early morning of the second day after setting up camp, Sima Jie handed over the task of guarding the camp to Bailice, and he took 50,000 horses to the place in front of Chen County, and ordered people to shout for battle.

In ancient times, the soldiers who were responsible for shouting the battle were basically the existence of lung capacity against the sky.

Of course, scolding is also a compulsory course for them.

More than a dozen Qin sergeants who were in charge of shouting the battle walked around in front of Chen County, and almost jumped down from the city wall without telling the defenders in the city, and fought with them.

Long He only said one sentence about this: "Staying in the city, there is no merit." Those who go out of the city without permission, whether you are fighting hard for the Lord or fighting for military exploits, first punish the crime. ”

In a word, all the abnormal movements of the soldiers were suppressed.

Cao Shen told Long He to hold on for at least half a month and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Long Ji naturally will not go his own way and take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle.

After shouting for a long time and not responding, Sima Jie immediately ordered the siege of the city.

After fighting decently for half an hour, with dozens of dead and wounded, Sima Jie ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and fight again in the coming day.

By mistake, Sima Jie and Long He are obviously hostile, and there is some tacit understanding between the two basins.
