Chapter 217 It's Not Too Late

After boosting the morale of the Chu army, Xiong Qi came to the tent next to the school field.

"Tomorrow morning, a batch of grain and grass will be sent from Nanjun, passing through our Huaiyang, and then sent to the Qin army."

Xiong Qi continued: "We robbed this batch of grain and grass, killed the Qin army who was transporting the grain, replaced all the grain, filled it with withered grass, and flammable fire starters, and used the withered grass to burn the Qin camp."

Zhou Hong felt that it was not feasible and shook his head: "The Qin camp is stationed on the edge of the Ying River. If we pretend to be the Qin army to deliver food, we need to cross the river and carry the food and grass from the car to the boat. If the Qin army on the other side sends troops to assist, it will be very difficult.

It’s easy to find the dead grass inside.”

Because dry grass weighs less than grain, it will be discovered as long as it is moved.

This plan is not easy to implement.

Xiong Qi thought it made sense. After thinking for a while, he went outside the tent to blow the wind and feel the wind direction.

"There are two ways to transport grain to Xiangcheng. The first method is to transport it by carriage. When it reaches the bank of Yingshui River, it is unloaded and crossed by boat."

"The second method is to prepare a boat near Shangcai, load the grain from the carriage onto the boat, and go down the Ying River to Qinying. We can use the second method to move the dry grass to the boat in advance.

"

"It's late November now, and the wind is blowing from the northwest, with smooth winds and smooth currents."

He continued: "This brings us a lot of convenience."

Zhou Hong suddenly thought of something and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to set fire to the ship in advance and use the wind to blow the fire on the ship into the Qin army's camp?"

"That's right!"

Xiong Qidao.

"I'm going to rob the food right now!"

Zhou Hong believed that this plan was feasible.

The Qin army had only a few thousand soldiers transporting grain. They had 30,000 Chu troops. It would not be difficult to rob the grain.

While robbing food, they also prepared a large number of boats, dead grass, and flammable materials. With the help of the northwest wind, the fire could burn spectacularly.

——

Bai Zhong arrived in Huaiyang and was rushing towards Chencheng, hoping to stop Xiong Qi's betrayal.

After crossing Ru River and arriving near Pingyu, he found that something was not right.

Looking from a distance outside the city, the Qin army's black water dragon flag has been replaced by the Chu army's military flag. Then there is only one possibility. Something happened in Huaiyang. The person who can cause the accident in Huaiyang must be

Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping.

Bai Zhong regretted a little. Before going on the mission, he felt that Lord Changping was still under his control and thought that Ying Zheng would wait until he came back before sending troops. Only then did he realize that he had thought too much.

"It's better to find Meng Tian and the others as soon as possible."

Bai Zhong rested for a while and continued on his way.

If Xiong Qi had killed the person directly before he could take action, he might have been able to save some of the situation.

However, Li Xin's defeat has been determined, and this is an unchangeable fact.

"General, there are people coming towards us from the north, about a hundred in number, their identities have not yet been determined."

A soldier came back and said.

Bai Zhong said: "Get ready and stop them!"

The two hundred soldiers beside him went directly to the north, and soon met the one hundred people, and were about to take action...

"General, it's me!"

A familiar voice sounded.

Bai Zhong stepped forward and saw that the person who came was actually Wang Li. He asked in surprise: "Brother Wang, why are you here?"

"I came here specifically to find you."

Wang Li said anxiously: "We got the news from you, saying that Li Xin should not go deep alone, but also beware of Lord Changping. My eldest father and General Meng discussed it and agreed that Li Xin will lose this battle, but the king's

The edict has been issued, they

They all sent troops to invade the Chu territory, unable to stop them, and I arrived too late. I also thought that the general could predict in advance and might stop everything on his way back, so I stayed in Huaiyang and waited. As soon as I find your whereabouts, I will immediately

Came to find you."

He also wanted to send the news to Meng Tian and Li Xin, but when he came to Huaiyang yesterday, he found that the city and the flag had been changed, and he understood that Lord Changping was really going to betray.

Even the news sent from Nanjun was too late now. Li Xin could not receive it, and they did not know whether Meng Tian could receive it.

"I brought three hundred people here, and scattered people on the road from Nanjun to Chencheng to find out about the general, and finally found him."

Wang Li gasped slightly: "My eldest father said, Li Xin's 200,000 people are difficult to win. The Chu State is vast and different from the Three Jin Dynasties. Xiang Yan is a famous general in the Chu State. He is proficient in the art of war and has experience. Even if he doesn't

Despite Lord Changping's betrayal, even 200,000 people would be unable to take over the captured city, and Li Xin's experience is not as good as Xiang Yan's."

"My eldest father also wanted to make it clear to the king, but there was no chance. In the end, he resigned and went back to enjoy his happiness."

"My eldest father also said that our Wang family's achievements are too high, and we are afraid that our achievements will overwhelm our master."

"The army of 600,000 is the entire main force of the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty does not dare to hand it over to a general who is so powerful that he can shock the Lord."

he continued.

Among the Three Jins, the leader who defeated Zhao was Wang Jian.

The coach of Han Wei is Wang Ben.

Wang Jian and his son joined forces again and crippled the Yan state.

Coupled with the various previous wars, the Wang family's contribution is too high, and their reputation in the army is not low either.

As a monarch, Yingzheng needed to maintain a balance. He did not want Wang Jian to go on an expedition, but supported other generals to maintain this balance, and even promoted this balance through the Meng family. Therefore, Li Xin was the main general, Meng Tian was the deputy general, and Wang

There is nothing left to do.

"The general sees things thoroughly!"

Bai Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Don't talk about this for now. Come to Chencheng and see how much you can save."

However, his appearance has won Ying Zheng's trust. I don't know if it has broken this balance.

They simply rested for a while and continued on their way. Judging from the situation, Xiong Qi had just started, so he hoped he could catch up.

——

Xiangcheng is not far from Chengfu, much closer than Juyang.

Two days had passed when Li Xin's letter was delivered to the Qin army camp outside Xiangcheng.

Meng Tian was about to go to the city father to meet with Li Xin, but just as he was about to leave, the city gate of Xiangcheng suddenly opened. This long-unconquerable city took the initiative to fight for the first time, as if he wanted to confront the Qin army head-on.

Going into battle at this time does not seem like a coincidence.

"All ready to fight!"

Meng Tian could no longer take care of Li Xin and wanted to settle his own affairs first.

As soon as the Qin army gathered together, they saw three Chu army chariots running out of the city gate and rushing towards the Qin army.

"Crossbow, bed crossbow, all ready!"

Meng Tian continued to give orders and stood ready.

The two sides had been in a stalemate for such a long time, and they attacked without any warning. The Qin army was somewhat caught off guard.

"General, look, there are no infantry behind the chariot!"

At this time, a captain pointed forward and said.

Meng Tian raised his head and looked forward, and sure enough, only the chariots rushed out, without the infantry following them. Although the chariots were powerful, there were only three of them, so no matter how powerful they were, they were limited.

Then, before entering the range of the crossbow, the chariot suddenly turned around and quickly headed back to the city gate.

Meng Tian and the others looked confused.

I don't understand what Chu Jun is going to do.

"General, the general has an urgent message for the general and General Li!"

A soldier rushed over.
