Immediately afterwards, Ji Jie received a letter of challenge written by Wang Jian stating the location of the battle.
"Wang Jian has good concentration, and he was not aroused by those few words of mine!" Ji Jie wrote the word "read" on the letter of challenge and said, "Go back and tell him that I will see you in Huofenglin tomorrow morning! "
"Yes!" Qin Jun, who delivered the letter, bowed to Ji Jie, took the letter of challenge, and turned around to leave.
Xiong Ben then said: "Your Majesty, I always feel that this is Wang Jian's conspiracy. He will definitely lay an ambush in Huofenglin and attack our army from multiple directions!"
Ji Jie said with a smile: "Even you have thought of it, Wang Jian couldn't have thought of it! But I think it will not be as simple as laying an ambush. He must have other tricks. Pass my order, and the army will be ready to set off. After breakfast tomorrow, head to Huofenglin!"
The next day, leaving 20,000 people to garrison Shu County, Ji Jie led an army of 200,000 people to the outside of Huofenglin. The Qin army had already set up its formation.
"Your Majesty, the military formation Wang Jian put up is very strange. How come I have never seen it before?" Xiong Ben scratched his head and said, "We are also familiar with the art of war. At first glance, it looks a bit like the Bagua formation, but If you look closely, it’s not the case!”
"This is the Bagua Tianlong Array!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Wang Jian is indeed a talent. He can combine the Bagua Array and the Tianlong Array. It combines the advantages of the two arrays and eliminates the shortcomings of the two arrays. And a long-range attack weapon position has been added.”
"Wouldn't it be difficult to fight?" Xiong Bi continued to be angry.
"That's not the case!" Ji Jie continued: "Nothing is inevitable in this world. No matter how powerful the formation is, it is also made up of people. People will always have weaknesses! You go to the Qin Army to call the formation. I want to Meet and talk to Wang Jian before the war, of course, if he has the courage!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xiong Bi clapped his horse and ran towards the general platform where the commander of the Qin army's three armies was.
Xiong Ben arrived in front of the Qin army's formation and was stopped by a group of Qin soldiers holding swords and shields. He shouted towards the general's platform: "Wang Jian, my lord wants to invite you to meet in front of the formation. How dare you meet my lord?" Meet?"
Just as Wang Jian was about to speak, a general held his hand and said, "General, you must not do this. Ji Jie is a cunning person. Your trip must be extremely dangerous!"
Wang Jian waved his hand and said: "Ji Jie is also a well-known person. I don't think he would use such despicable methods! If I don't agree, I will let the Zhou army underestimate me and the Qin army. Think I’m afraid of him, Ji Jie!”
"But……"
"Don't worry, I have already decided to pay attention!" Wang Jian shouted towards Xiong Bi: "Go back and tell your lord, I have agreed. I will order someone to set up a pavilion in the middle of the two armies and invite Zhao Wen. Jun Yisu!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Xiong Ben glanced at Wang Jian a few times, turned his horse's head and returned to the main formation.
After listening to Xiong Bi's words, Ji Jie said with a smile: "It can be seen that Wang Jian is a cautious person. On the surface, he pretends to be righteous, but in his heart he is very afraid that I will take the opportunity to attack him, so he proposed to meet between the two armies. ! In this way, even if I want to attack him, his people can come to the rescue at the same time, haha!"
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Jian's men built a simple pavilion in the center of the two armies. Ji Jie and he walked out of the formation at the same time, without anyone accompanying them.
The two came to a place and saluted each other.
"General Wang is young and promising. He was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces after three years in the army. I am very envious of him!" Ji Jie said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Lord Zhaowen. In less than three years of taking charge of the military and political affairs of the Zhou Dynasty, he turned the weak Zhou Dynasty into a powerful country in the Central Plains. I admire you even more!" Wang Jian also said with a smile.
This kind of complimenting each other seemed so unsatisfying to both of them, but they had to say it on such an occasion.
"Jun Zhaowen please!"
"General Wang, please!"
The two sat down at the same time. Wang Jian picked up the teapot and filled the cups in front of them, and then said: "Jun Zhaowen, please try the tea from Qin. The taste is different from the tea from Dazhou!"
"Oh, really?" Ji Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip.
This made Wang Jian have the idea that his intentions were dwarfed by comparison. He did not doubt whether the tea was poisoned at all, and when he was building the pavilion just now, he specifically asked to choose a location closer to the Qin army.
"The taste is slightly different!" Ji Jie put down the cup, pointed at the Qin army formation behind Wang Jian, and said, "The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are indeed extraordinary. I would like to ask, are these soldiers trained by General Wang himself?"
Wang Jian nodded and said, "Mostly yes! Were the Zhou army officers also trained by Zhaowen Jun?"
"No!" Ji Jie shook his head and replied: "I just formulated the training methods and left the specific operations to the people below, which is not as good as General Wang doing it himself!"
Wang Jian's face was slightly red. In fact, his subordinates were also trained in this way. He didn't tell the truth just now. Of course, he didn't tell a lie intentionally, but he lied involuntarily.
"Actually, I admire young and promising generals like General Wang very much. Are you from Qin?" Ji Jie asked.
This time, Wang Jian shook his head and told the truth: "Although I was born in Guanzhong, I am not a real Qin person. My father fled from Wei to Qin. Strictly speaking, I am a Wei person."
"That's great. Have you ever thought about changing places?" Ji Jie began to poach: "Actually, you should also see clearly that the current Qin State is not a match for Zhou Dynasty at all. As long as you are willing to come to my place, I will immediately I designate you as the Grand Marshal of the Army, control all the soldiers and horses of our Great Zhou, and open up and expand the territory for the Great Zhou!"
Wang Jian felt that he had been fooled again. It would be better if he just said that he was from Qin.
Of course Ji Jie knew that Wang Jian would not betray Qin, so he promised a bombshell like "Generalissimo of the Army" as soon as he opened his mouth. His purpose was to confuse Wang Jian's heart.
Wang Jian smiled and said: "What King Zhaowen said is wrong. Since Da Qin implemented Shang Yang's Reform, it has become the leader of the Seven Kingdoms. The current defeat is only temporary. I believe it won't take long before Da Qin will unify." The world!"
If these words were said by others, Ji Jie would think that he was bragging, but Wang Jian was definitely qualified to say such things. If Ji Jie's arrival had not changed history, Wang Jian would have single-handedly conquered Qin's great cause of unification. He destroyed five of the six countries and made great achievements for the Qin Dynasty.
"Haha, I'm not speculating!" Ji Jie stretched out, pointed to the woods not far away, and said, "There must be a lot of people hiding in it. You can see that even the birds in the sky don't dare to fall. In fact, I very much hope that we can have a face-to-face battle, without any plots or strategies, to prove to the world who is more powerful, the army of the Zhou Dynasty, or the warriors of the Qin Dynasty!"
Wang Jian frowned and thought to himself that this is a good suggestion! It was widely rumored that Ji Jie was good at using troops. If he could have a head-on confrontation, he wouldn't have to worry about falling into a trap.
