Chapter 326: Light the enemy

The northern suburbs of Pengcheng, the Qi army camp. (　　)

Amid the cold sound of the iron armor, more than a dozen generals of Qi army were walking in a row. The one who was walking in the front was General Cao Shen, followed by Yajin Lou Jing, and then Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi, Lu Qing, Xu Zhang and other generals.

Before he could get close to Han Xin's tent, Cao Qi, the general of Suwei, had already come forward and said, "Everyone, stay."

Cao Shen frowned and said, "Ye'er, hasn't he woken up yet?" Last night, Han Xin found a few singular geniuses from somewhere, and kept drinking and having fun until late at night, but he couldn't get up this morning.

Cao Qi shook his head and said, "Father, the king is afraid he won't wake up before noon."

Cao Shen was silent when he heard this. Lou Jing sighed and said, "General, let's go to your tent first."

Cao Shen nodded, and immediately led Lou Jing and the generals Cheng Hei to come straight to their tent. After entering the tent, Cao Shen asked Lou Jing and the generals to take their seats, and then said: "Everyone, I have just received amazing news that King Xiang Zhuang of Chu has sent his General of Guard Bi Shu to lead 300,000 troops to rescue Huainan!"

Except for Lou Jing, all the other generals Cheng Hei were stunned.

Huainan Kingdom formed an alliance with Chu. Huainan Kingdom was attacked. It was not uncommon for Chu to send troops to rescue. Chu sent 300,000 troops to rescue. It had a lot of troops, but it was reasonable. However, King Xiang Zhuang of Chu sent an unknown guy to lead troops to Huainan Kingdom, which was really surprising. Who is Bi Shu?

Cheng Heidao: "General, who is Bi Shu? Why have you never heard of it before?"

Cao Shen shook his head and said, "This is the first time that General I have heard of this Bishu."

Since Bi Shu served in Chu, he has been serving as General Zhechong to train soldiers in various counties and has almost no contact with the outside world. Except for the Prime Minister of Huainan, Kuai Che, who had contact with him, only Bai Mo knew about his existence. Ten years have passed, and even Kuai Che has forgotten this person. As for Cao Shen and others, how could he have heard of Bi Shu's name?

Only Lou Jing pondered and said, "This Bishu seems to be a scholar in his early thirties."

"Scholar?" Cheng Hei was shocked and then laughed, "Hahaha, Xiang Zhuang is not crazy, right? Send a scholar who has no name to lead troops to rescue Huainan. Isn't that a death sentence?!"

The other generals Zhao Xi, Lu Qing, Xu Zhang and others also laughed out loud.

Only Cao Shen and Lou Jing frowned and looked worried. Xiang Zhuang sent an unknown scholar to lead troops to rescue Huainan, which may not be a good thing for the Qi army. The two were very worried that the King of Qi might underestimate the enemy after learning the news. In fact, since the King of Qi attacked Huainan, the King of Qi has become increasingly proud.

In fact, it is reasonable that the King of Qi was proud. The King of Qi was appointed as a general from Hanzhong, destroyed more than ten countries, and overthrow the army. He had no one to defeat him for twenty years. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, wasn’t he powerful enough? He defeated the King of Han several times, but what about the end? In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated by the King of Qi, and the 100,000 powerful troops were destroyed. Xiang Yu himself also committed suicide by committing suicide in Wujiang!

How many people can match such great martial arts in history? It is not surprising that King Qi was proud.

However, if the King of Qi underestimates the enemy by pride and despises the heroes of the world from then on, it will be dangerous.

As for the Battle of Pengcheng, the supplies and equipment used to attack the city had been transported to the army three days ago, but the King of Qi was reluctant to order the attack. It was not that the Qi army was not sure to break through Pengcheng, but that the King of Qi wanted to wait for the Chu reinforcements to arrive before resolving the Huainan Army and the Chu army together. Isn’t this underestimating the enemy?

Now, Xiang Zhuang sent an unknown scholar to lead his troops. Wouldn't the King of Qi underestimate the enemy even more?

If the scholar sent by Xiang Zhuang was a person like Zhao Kuo, it would be fine. If the scholar was a powerful figure who was hidden and uncovered, maybe King Qi would have to fight in Pengcheng!

Cao Shen pondered for a moment and said to Lou Jing: "Ya Xiang, are you reminding the king?"

In recent years, the King of Qi has not been able to listen to everyone's advice. He said that when he chose the target of attack the last time, Cao Shen, Wang Ling and other important civil and military officials had tried hard to persuade King of Qi to attack Zhao or Liang, but the King of Qi just refused and insisted on attacking Huainan. Now, just the advice of the prime minister Lou Jing, Han Xin can listen to a few more words.

Lou Jing shook his head and sighed, "Oh, if I could persuade him, I would have persuaded him long ago."

Cao Shen was silent for a while and said, "At this point, we can only wait and see what has changed."

#############

On the road leading to Pengcheng from Zhuyi, Bi Shu was leading an army of 160,000 to the north.

Bi Shu stood on a chariot full of pure black clothes with his hands behind his back. Looking ahead, the Chu army's marching line extended from under his nose to the end of his vision. The flags on both sides were dense, grounded to the sky, and the spears and rows of large shields seemed endless.

Looking back, there were Yu Ziqi, Xiao Kai, Tian Heng, Xiqilie, Ziche Shi and other Chu generals.

With 160,000 soldiers and hundreds of good generals, Bi Shu had no slight pride on his face. Some people were born with commanders, such as Huo Qubing, the Han Dynasty, who dared to lead 800 cavalry into the north of the desert for the first time, and destroyed the Huns' Long Court in one fell swoop. For example, Lu Boyan of the Three Kingdoms, destroyed Guan Yu and Jingzhou for the first time.

Bi Shu is undoubtedly such a person. Although this was his first time leading the army and his first time in his life, he was neither satisfied nor nervous or cramped in his heart. Some were just calm and calm, as if he had already led the army for hundreds of years and fought countless battles.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Bi Shu gently raised his right hand.

In an instant, dozens of cavalry had already rushed from the central army toward the front army and the rear army. The entire army stopped moving forward, and the order to camp on the spot was quickly conveyed. In less than a moment, the 160,000 troops that were advancing north stopped one after another, and then began to unload the tents and equipment and set up camp.

Bi Shu’s central army tent was first set up, and a screen was even erected in the tent.

At this moment, Bi Shu was looking at the Huainan map hanging on the screen to ponder. King Han Xin of Qi was very good at martial arts. Whether it was strategy, command on the front line, or the ability to capture fighter jets, he was outstanding. He had to face such a powerful enemy for the first time he led a army. Bi Shu really didn't know whether he should sigh whether he was lucky or unfortunate?

As a military strategist, Bi Shu dreams of fighting against Han Xin. From this point of view, Bi Shu is lucky.

However, it was his first time in charge of military service, but he had to face Han Xin, which seemed unfortunate again.

Bi Shu will never underestimate himself, but he will never overestimate himself. He knows that as long as Han Xin performs normally, Bi Shu will have no chance of winning, and the ideal result is just a draw. If the Chu army wants to win, there is only one chance, that is Han Xin's underestimation of the enemy. If Han Xin underestimates the enemy, or the Chu army still has a slight chance of winning.

So, will Han Xin underestimate the enemy? Should the Chu army make corresponding arrangements?

After pondering at the screen for a while, Bi Shu suddenly turned his head and shouted, "I'm welcome to General Xiqilie!"

The personal soldiers outside the tent took the order and left. Within a moment, Xiqilie, wearing heavy armor, bent down and crawled into Bishu's central tent. Xiqilie was nine feet tall and had a waist of ten squares. With an iron armor, he looked like a peerless demon god. After entering the tent, Xiqilie bowed to Bishu and said with a loud bang: "Xiqilie meets General Wei."

Bi Shu replied to the greeting and asked Xi Qilie to stand in front of the screen, then pointed to the screen and said, "General Xi Qi, I have a dangerous job here. Do you dare to take it?"

Xiqilie opened his eyes wide and said with high apology: "Why don't you dare?!"

"Okay." Bi Shu nodded happily and said, "Then from now on, you will be the cavalry captain of the Great Chu State!"

Xiqilie was overjoyed when he heard this. The three camps of the Imperial Guards of the Great Chu, the Tianlang Camp, the Huben Camp, and the Xiaoqi Camp. Among them, only the Xiaoqi Camp is a cavalry. Meng Meng Fu, the general of the Xiaoqi Camp, has been transferred to command the cavalry of the palace, and the 10,000 cavalry will be missing. If Xiqilie can become the lieutenant of the cavalry, he will be the steward of the 10,000 cavalry!

Excited, Xi Qilie's beard also stood up one by one, and he said immediately: "General Wei, what's the plan?"

Bi Shu patted the map lightly and said, "General Xiqi, have you seen the woods marked on the map?"

Xiqilie looked at the map and replied, "General Wei, this forest is known to me. A few years ago, when the guards were on the mission to Pengcheng, they had passed by. I also shot a deer and roasted it for food." After saying this, Xiqilie said again, "This forest seems to be not far ahead, and it is at most forty or fifty miles, right?"

"That's right." Bi Shu nodded and said, "Tonight, you will sneak into the depths of the woods with 10,000 imperial guards in the Knight Camp and ambush them."

"Here!" Xi Qilie replied loudly, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Come back." Bi Shu said angrily, "Why are you anxious? You didn't even get the tiger talisman."

"Hehe." Xi Qilie scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "General Wei, where is the tiger talisman?"

"You." Bi Shu smiled and pointed at Xi Qilie, then straightened his face, and said, "Remember, you must pay attention to hiding your movements after entering the woods. You must not let the Qi army scouts discover it. If you encounter woodcutter hunters from Huainan Kingdom, you will be killed. In the end, when the forest fires, you will be able to fight out!"

"The last general has written down." Xiqilie said, "What else does General Guard have to give?"

"That's all." Bi Shu said as he handed over the tiger talisman of the Xiaoqi Camp to Xiqilie, and repeatedly reminded him, "General Xiqi, whether the Xiaoqi Camp can complete the task is likely to be related to the victory or defeat of this Huainan Battle, and more likely to be related to the national fortune and energy of the Great Chu. You must be very cautious and cautious."

"Don't worry, General Wei, I will pay attention!" Xi Qilie took the tiger talisman, bowed to Bishu, then turned around and lit up and left the tent.
