Because of the order of the general Gong Shucuo, the 60,000 Wei army did not take the initiative to launch an offensive against the 80,000 Han and Zhao coalition forces that had crossed Huishui.

Instead, they went in the opposite direction and chose to retreat thirty miles south, leaving ample room for action for the Han and Zhao coalition forces that had crossed the Huishui River.

This move of the Wei army fell into the eyes of the generals of the Korean and Zhao armies, and they had two completely different views.

In the view of Zhao Shou, the leader of the Zhao army, Wei Jun's actions must not be without purpose.

All our side has to do is to stabilize the current battle situation and advance forward slowly and quickly, and must not give the Wei army any chance to take advantage of it.

Under the current war situation, Zhao Shou's strategy can be said to be very mature and prudent.

If the Han-Zhao coalition forces can act according to his ideas, they may not achieve a brilliant victory, but at least they can avoid an irreparable and disastrous defeat.

It's just that Zhao Shou hopes that his side can fight steadily, but some people don't agree with his countermeasures.

This person is none other than the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, Han Kai.

In Han Kai's view, the Wei army's initiative to retreat was undoubtedly because they were afraid of the powerful military power of the Han and Zhao coalition forces.

Since the Wei army took the initiative to retreat, it is convenient for them to speed up their advance and closely follow the footsteps of the main force of the Wei army.

If they can find an opportunity to fight the Wei army decisively, relying on their superiority in military strength, the Han and Zhao coalition forces will definitely be able to win.

At that time, the war situation against Wei, which had gradually fallen into depression, could be reversed in a very short period of time.

As if he had seen victory in front of him, Han Kai led his army and abandoned the Zhao army behind him, taking the lead and directly pursuing the main force of the Wei army in the south.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

"Drive, drive, drive..."

"Drive, drive, drive..."

…

The rapid sound of urging horses sounded in front of the advancing Zhao Army column. Soon after, a Zhao Army messenger appeared in front of the Zhao Army's general, Zhao Shoude.

"General Qi, I have sent the letter to General Han Kai, but..."

Listening to the hesitation in the words of this messenger, how could Zhao Shou still not understand what he meant? The look on his face became even more gloomy.

Even though he is the nominal commander of the coalition forces, he and Han Kai do not belong to the same country after all, so it is not impossible for the other party to disobey his orders.

For example, earlier, the two chose to part ways because of their different views on the war situation.

If it were normal, that would be fine, but at this moment, we were on the battlefield where two armies were fighting.

"Thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."

Seeing the anger in Zhao Shou's eyes, the deputy general next to him first asked the messenger to leave, and then turned his attention to the opponent again.

"General, don't worry too much. Maybe the war will develop as General Han Kai expected."

After listening to the lieutenant's persuasion, the expression on Zhao Shou's face did not improve at all, but instead became more and more gloomy.

"Do you really think so?"

After a long time, Zhao Shou asked a rhetorical question that immediately silenced the lieutenant. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

As a general who had dealt with the Wei army for decades and experienced countless battles, this deputy general probably had a deeper understanding of the Wei army than Zhao Shou.

Although the lieutenant was still comforting Zhao Shou, an uneasiness slowly emerged in his heart.

He could keenly feel that the Wei army, which had been facing off for several months, had dug a huge trap for them, while the Korean army in front of them was jumping into it regardless of their own safety.

Zhao Shou had been silently observing the deputy general beside him, seeing the changes in the expressions on his face one by one, and Zhao Shou knew in his heart that he had the same view as himself.

The Wei army's initiative to withdraw south was definitely not aimless, but a plan against the Korean army and even the entire Korean-Zhao coalition army.

All he has to do now is...

Thoughts were flowing in his mind, and gradually the look in Zhao Shou's eyes became firmer, and his left hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Pass my general's order..."

Zhao Shou's loud shout woke up the deputy general who was deep in thought, and then he heard, "The whole army is marching faster to catch up with the Korean army as quickly as possible."

On one side, the Zhao army, under Zhao Shou's order, accelerated their march, preparing to join the Han army as soon as possible; on the other side, the Han army, led by Han Kai, also maintained a slow pace of advance.

Among the Korean troops marching forward quickly, the leader of the Korean army, Han Kai, felt the bumps coming from the carriage beneath him while browsing a silk book in his hand.

This silk document was sent by the messenger sent by Zhao Shou, the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army not long ago.

After a moment, Han Kai withdrew his eyes from the silk book in his hand and held the silk book firmly in his right hand. There was even a trace of disdain on Han Kai's face at this moment.

"It's really unfounded."

From the look on Han Kai's face and his comment, it is not difficult to see how little he cares about Zhao Shou's worries.

In fact, when he first led his 30,000 troops to fight against the Wei army, Han Kai's state could not be said to be that he was facing a powerful enemy, but it could also be said that he was always vigilant.

At that time, he was worried all the time that the Wei army on the other side would one day cross the Huishui River, and the Wei soldiers whose reputation for good fighting skills was known throughout the world would be able to defeat his camp unstoppably.

However, Han Kai did not expect that the Wei army on the other side, which he was very afraid of, did not dare to take the initiative to attack for several months.

The months-long confrontation across the water made Han Kai gradually let go of his fear of Wei Jun, and even gradually a trace of misunderstanding emerged in his heart.

That is, Wei Wuzu, a powerful army who is good at fighting, and Wei general Gong Shucuo who is famous all over the world, are just a group of people with empty reputations.

Months of confrontation gave Han Kai this illusion, and the Wei army's initiative to retreat at the beginning of the war greatly deepened this illusion.

At this moment, Han Kai, who underestimated the enemy, was pushing his army into the abyss step by step, but he himself knew nothing about it.

"General, we have found traces of Wei troops in front of our army."

Listening to the news brought back by the scouts, Han Kai's face not only showed no trace of nervousness, but was full of confidence.

With his right hand pointed straight ahead, Han Kai commanded in a deep voice: "All officers and soldiers in the army, follow my orders and pursue the enemy!"

"Here."

Leading the army forward rapidly, Han Kai felt that he was a hunter, catching his own fat prey.

But what he doesn't know is that cunning hunters often exist in the form of prey.

"Report..."

"Inform the Prime Minister, General Gongsun, that 30,000 Korean troops have entered the battlefield, and 50,000 Zhao troops are still behind."

After hearing the news, Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Cuo, who were standing on the Wei army's chariot, looked at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes.

"Let's explore again. If anything happens, report to me at any time."

"Here."

Watching the scout leave again, Gongshu Cuo, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, looked at Gongsun Cuo beside him and said, "General Gongsun, you can take action now."

"The general will obey your orders!"

After bowing and accepting the order, Gongsun Cuo immediately drove up to his soldiers. His eyes were full of excitement at this moment.

He has been waiting for this day for months, and today is the time to get a result.
