Chapter 423: Choosing a Battlefield

~《》~    Chapter 423: Choosing the battlefield

It was late at night, but Han Xin was still writing in the big tent.

For more than a month of confrontation between the two armies, Han Xin was not idle, but was writing the manuscript of the military book "Han Xin's Bingluo". Obviously, Han Xin, who knew that he had little time, also wanted to leave something in this world, so writing a book of military tactics has been passed down to future generations became his first choice.

Perhaps the cruel fact that his life is about to end is invisibly motivating Han Xin, so the process of "Han Xin's Soldiers" is very fast. In just over a month, he has written sixteen manuscripts, basically finishing his experience in military tactics and strategy. Next, Han Xin will write the command of the front line, which will be the top priority of the entire military strategy.

Han Xin closed his eyes and thought for a while. When he was about to start writing, the closed curtain was suddenly lifted.

Han Xin couldn't help but frown. When he looked back, he saw that the prince Han He had already walked in quickly, bowed to Han Xin first, and then said excitedly: "Father, something happened to the Chu army camp!"

"What happened?" Han Xin's heart thumped when he heard this, and he threw the pen and stood up.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Xin hurriedly climbed the sentry tower on the side of the gate surrounded by Han He and Zhao Yan. The Chu army camp was less than five miles apart from the Qi army camp. Therefore, standing on the sentry tower could see the movements of the entire Chu army camp. Han Xin looked down from the sentry tower and saw that the Chu army's central camp was brightly lit and there were many figures, as if something really happened.

Han Xin found a Qi Jun school with extraordinary vision and asked, "Can you see clearly the situation there?"

Qi Jun Primary School carefully observed for a long time and said unsurely: "Master, it seems that they are arguing."

"Arguing?" Han Xin and Han He were shocked when he heard this, but Zhao Yan was overjoyed at the same time and said anxiously, "King, it's probably because the rumors have already taken effect. The generals of the Chu army are forcing Bi Shu to fight!"

Han Xin's eyes suddenly shook and he urgently ordered Qi Jun Primary School: "Take a team of cavalry and catch a few live-actioners!"

"Here!" Qi Jun School responded with a loud noise, turned around and got off the mattress, and then lit up a team of cavalry to hide like ghosts into the dark curtain outside the camp under the cover of the night.

However, it is not easy to catch the Chu army scouts.

It was not until dawn the next day that the Qi army's junior college returned in shame, and only less than fifty cavalry left with the more than a hundred cavalry left. However, two seriously injured and dead scouts of the Chu army were finally caught. When they were escorted into the tent, the Qi army did not even dare to be too rude, for fear that one of the two Chu army scouts would swallow their anger.

At this moment, Ying Bu and Kuai Che have also rushed to Han Xin's tent after hearing the news.

Ying Bu couldn't wait to ask the two Chu army scouts, "Tell me, did you mutiny in your camp last night?"

The short Chu army scout didn't even raise his eyelids, but the tall one glared at Qi Bu viciously, opened his bloody mouth and vomited a large mouthful of blood at Ying Bu. Ying Bu was furious and said viciously: "Damn it, believe it or not, I will let someone chop your head now?"

A tall Chu army scout said coldly: "I can't ask for it."

"You..." Ying Bu became more and more angry. When he was about to draw his sword and get up, Han Xin reached out to stop him.

Han Xin stopped Ying Bu, smiled faintly, and said to the two Chu army scouts: "If you don't say it, I actually already know that last night the generals of Jin Xiang, Yu Ziqi, Ziche Shi, Xiqilie and other military generals went to Bi Shu to theory and asked Bi Shu to start the war as soon as possible, but Bi Shu did not agree."

A tall Chu army scout said coldly: "I know, still ask?"

Han Xin smiled and waved his hand: "Drag it down and chop it."

The imperial guards immediately entered the tent and dragged two Chu army scouts out of the tent. Although they died to the forefront, the Chu army scouts did not say a word from beginning to end.

Ying Bu couldn't help but sigh: "The Chu soldiers are all tigers and wolves."

Han Xin was silent when he heard this. He had to admit that the Chu soldiers were better than the Qi army in terms of equipment and training. However, what was really scary about the Chu army was the kind of warlike factors that they revealed. I heard that the Qin army had this kind of warlike factors back then, but Han Xin had never seen it with his own eyes.

But no matter what, the Chu army will definitely be defeated this time!

This is because the Chu army met him, Han Xin, who had fought for more than a hundred battles in his life, and had never been defeated. This Huainan Battle will never be an exception.

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

Jin Xiang, Yu Ziqi, Ziche Shi, Xiqilie and dozens of generals in the army came to Bi Shu's tent again. Tieniu did not dare to stop him and had to let him go.

The generals entered the tent one after another, and saw Bi Shu sleeping on the cushion with his back to the account door. A copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War fell off under his feet, as if he was awakened by the footsteps of the generals. Bi Shu got up lazily and said unhappily: "Why are you here again? Is it possible for people to sleep in this early morning, huh?"

The eyes of the generals gathered on Yu Ziqi one after another. Yu Ziqi coughed lightly, bowed to Bishu first, and then said, "General, since the king has issued an edict, we should obey it."

The story has to start from last night. Last night, Yu Ziqi came to find Bi Shu. He wanted to volunteer to lead a side army to attack Linzi for a long distance to force the Qi army to retreat from Huainan. However, Bi Shu fell asleep after reading Shu. Yu Ziqi originally planned to come back the next day, but before leaving, he accidentally saw a secret letter on Bi Shu's desk.

After a brief look at Yu Ziqi, it turned out that it was the king who issued an edict to Bi Shu, who ordered him to send troops to fight the enemy as soon as possible.

Yu Ziqi was in a panic at that time. After returning, he told Jin Xiang and others that Jin Xiang and others could not hold back. He immediately found Bi Shu and asked for a war to start immediately. Bi Shu naturally shirked his responsibilities. It was not until Yu Ziqi pointed it out that Bi Shu had to admit that he had indeed received the edict from Xiang Zhuang, but he still refused to agree to send troops.

Last night, the quarrel was till late at night, and everyone ended up in disagreement.

Seeing that Yu Ziqi brought out Wang Zhao again, Bi Shu frowned and said, "I will not accept the orders of you!"

Jin Xiang groaned and was about to speak, but Bi Shu picked up the military talisman from the desk and said coldly: "I still say the same thing. As long as the king does not issue an edict to take back the military talisman of this general, you must unconditionally obey the general's condemnation. If you make trouble and force me to do so, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Tie Niu also stood behind Bi Shu at the right time, holding Xiang Zhuang's Wang Jian in his arms.

The generals of Jin Xiang, Ziche Shi, and Xiqilie were immediately silent. The Chu army was strict and Bi Shu refused to obey the king's edict. They were helpless. After all, doing things cheaply was originally the power of the generals in the Taiwan Strait. At this moment, the generals had to leave Bi Shu's tent with a dark face.

Yu Ziqi was the last one to leave. Before leaving, he suggested: "Prime General, why not lead a side army to attack Linzi to force the Qi army to retreat?"

"I'll talk about this later." Bi Shu said without saying anything, and sent Yu Ziqi away.

Although Bi Shu had just rejected the generals' request for battle, Bi Shu knew in his heart that this was just acting. Bi Shu's original intention was nothing more than to hold back the arrogant soldiers and generals. In this way, when the final battle was final, these arrogant soldiers and generals would become unprecedentedly cruel like tigers that had been locked out of the gate for a long time.

The final decisive battle with Han Xin is imminent. A little more troops will have more chances of victory. At this critical moment, how could Bi Shu agree to divide the troops?

Yu Ziqi left unhappily. Bi Shu got up and washed up. After that, he ordered Tie Niu: "Tie Niu, hurry up and click on the eight hundred elite cavalry and go out with this general."

Tie Niu said in surprise: "General, are you going to leave the camp?"

Bi Shu nodded, grabbed the cold rice ball on the desk and started to chew.

"Here!" Tie Niu bowed with fists and left the tent with confusion and summoned the cavalry.

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

Half an hour later, Bi Shu appeared in the wilderness northeast of Pengcheng under the escort of the Eight Hundred Essential Cavalry.

The Qi army and the scout cavalry of the Huainan army soon discovered the Chu cavalry and followed them from afar. Tieniu was about to lead his troops to drive away, but he was stopped by Bi Shu.

Bi Shu shook his hand and said, "Don't worry about them, let them follow."

Tie Niu said no, and said again, "General, why are we going to this field for a trip?"

Bi Shu smiled, and naturally he would not tell Tie Niu that he was choosing a battlefield.

Bi Shu took eight hundred riders to wander in the wilderness for more than half an hour. Suddenly it rained heavily in the sky. At this time, Huainan had entered the rainy season. It has been raining almost every day in the past three or five days. Although the rain was not heavy, in just a moment, everyone's clothes were wet.

Tie Niu stepped forward and advised, "General, go back?"

"Let's go." Bi Shu shook his hand, wiped the rain on his face, and turned his head inadvertently. A low-lying area with a wide range of thatched areas appeared in front of his vision. This low-lying area was vigorous and wide, and could accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people. The depression was covered with dense thatch, and there seemed to be water accumulation between the grass.

Bi Shu's eyes lit up in an instant. This was the battlefield he was looking for!

At that moment, Bi Shu rushed into the low-lying area with a wide range of grass. The iron cow did not dare to neglect it and rushed to chase after the eight hundred cavalry. In less than a moment, Bi Shu rushed into the low-lying area under the escort of the eight hundred cavalry. After entering the depression, he found that the accumulated water inside had flooded the horse's hooves, but the action of the war horse was not greatly affected.

"Wow..." Bi Shu gently shouted at the war horse, then turned over and jumped off the horse's back.

The iron cow and the eight hundred cavalry accompanying him also drank the war horses, looked at Bi Shu in confusion and reached into the water, then took out a handful of soil with grass roots from the turbid aquatic plants. Bi Shu carefully crushed the soil in his hand bit by bit, and finally raised his head to the sky, squinted his eyes and looked at the dark sky and fell into long thoughts.

Tieniu never dared to disturb Bi Shu, so he had to cheer up and wait in the rain.

After half a quarter of an hour, Bi Shu finally had a faint smile on his lips. He squatted down and put his hands into the mud and washed them. Then he turned over and waved to the iron cow and shouted: "Go and go back to the camp.
