After rushing for days, the Qin army was about to reach the Mishui River. General Teng ordered the Qin army to rest where it was.
"What you said is right, the Korean army is already on the south bank of the Mishui River."
General Teng rode his horse, looked in the direction of the Mishui River, and said softly.
During the two days of traveling, General Teng carefully observed that along the way, there were only merchants going to Xinzheng, but no pedestrians leaving Xinzheng.
Thinking of Bai Yan's previous ideas, the reasons naturally surfaced.
Presumably the Korean army has already started building barriers on the south bank of the Mishui River.
"Um."
Bai Yan nodded slightly when he heard General Teng's words.
Behind Bai Yan, under the order of General Teng, all the cavalry and 20,000 infantry in the Qin army stopped to rest.
After a while.
Now that General Teng has determined that the Korean army is on the south bank of the Mishui River, he naturally begins to make plans for the next attack on the Korean army.
Bai Yan, Kui Wan, and Chu Ren all listened to General Teng's orders.
"Chu Ren, select fifty elite Qin soldiers, dress them up in disguise, and go ahead of the army."
General Teng gave the order, and then asked Chu Ren to tell the elite soldiers that when the Qin army encountered the Han soldiers, even if they died, they would not let the Han soldiers who stopped the people run back to the Mishui River to report the news.
"promise!"
Chu Ren cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Then he quickly turned around on his horse and walked towards the army of infantry under his command.
In fact, whether it is General Chu Ren, General Kuiwan, or even General Teng Lao, the most reliable person in this matter should be Bai Yan.
One is that Bai Yan is young and has extraordinary swordsmanship.
The second is that Bai Yan had the experience of dressing up in disguise before in Chenggao. In terms of courage and adaptability, Bai Yan was far from being comparable to a soldier.
But now, regardless of Bai Yan's title, even the cavalry army has Bai Yan in charge.
They all know that for a large army, the presence or absence of the general, or the change of generals, has a completely different momentum for the soldiers.
This is why Tian Dan used a conspiracy to force the King of Yan to leave Le Yi before he returned to the country. Only after Le Yi left did he dare to return to the country.
The same was true when Bai Yu was assassinated.
"Bai Yan, you lead the cavalry army to follow behind. If we are not stopped, you will immediately lead the cavalry army to the south bank of the Mishui River. You must not allow the Korean army to form a formation."
General Teng looked at Bai Yan and ordered.
20,000 infantrymen faced 50,000 Korean troops. This number was not an advantage. If the Korean army was allowed to form a formation and the two armies fought, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Bai Yan's mission is to immediately raid the Korean army once they get the news.
General Teng knew very well that in order to prevent the news from leaking, South Korea waited for Yao Jia to leave before building barriers.
Since there is not much time left, General Han will definitely order the work to be rushed.
Therefore, Han soldiers will never wear Korean armor or carry weapons when building barriers.
And Bai Yan's cavalry army is an elite division that has been fighting against Zhao Guo all year round. It has strict military discipline and its soldiers are good at fighting and are capable of making surprise attacks.
"promise!"
Bai Yan cupped his hands and accepted the order.
South bank of Mishui River.
"hurry up!"
"hurry up!"
A Korean general was riding a horse and shouting at a Korean soldier who was digging a trench.
Looking at a famous Korean soldier elsewhere carrying huge stones, a famous general kept urging him.
At this moment, the entire south bank of the Mishui River, at a glance, is full of densely packed figures building barriers on the riverside.
"General Shen!"
A general suddenly saw General Shen Yan coming on horseback with his cronies, and quickly saluted him.
Shen Yuan rode a horse and passed by the general with his followers, looking at the busy Korean soldiers around him.
Since the Qin envoy Yao Jia left Xinzheng, he requested the king to issue an order that everyone in Xinzheng City was only allowed to enter but not to leave. Anyone who disobeyed the order, regardless of his status as a powerful person, would be guilty of treason.
This is to prevent the news from leaking out.
Seeing that the huge gap in front of him had begun to be filled with huge rocks, Shen Yan nodded with satisfaction.
If this is followed, in more than ten days, the entire barrier should be built.
During this period, he was not worried about being in danger. Not to mention the previous closure of Xinzheng, he had already set up checkpoints on the road. The Qin army would definitely not get the news, and he did not know that he had already led the Korean army to build barriers here.
.
If the Qin army came here, he would have enough time to react.
"General, Young Master Cheng is here!"
Shen Yuan suddenly heard the words of his confidant, turned around and saw the figure of Gong Zicheng.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan quickly rode his war horse and went to Gongzi Cheng's place.
Shen Yan, who is nearly middle-aged, feels very close to Gongzi Cheng, because among many young gentlemen, Gongzi Cheng is the most wise and has the demeanor of a wise king.
"Master!"
After arriving at Gongzicheng's side, Shen Yuan turned over and dismounted, bowed his hands in greeting to Gongzicheng, and looked at the back of the carriage next to Gongzicheng, where there were more than ten trailers filled with wooden boxes.
"General Shen!"
When Prince Cheng saw Shen Yuan, he also bowed his hands in a very polite manner.
After Gong Zicheng finished speaking, before Shen Wan could speak, he saw Gong Zicheng's attendants opening wooden boxes one by one and shouting at the surrounding Han soldiers.
"This time the Qin Dynasty invaded South Korea, and the people were displaced, and the soldiers suffered numerous casualties. The Qin Dynasty was violent and unethical. Therefore, the Young Master has ordered that when the fortress is completed, all the soldiers will be generously rewarded."
One of the attendants shouted to the surroundings with all their strength.
Beside him, the opened wooden boxes were carried to the ground one by one.
When the wooden box fell to the ground, the weight of the money inside made a faint dull sound.
South bank of Mishui River.
When the attendant spoke, all the nearby Korean soldiers had already looked towards the trailer. Naturally, they could see the wooden boxes full of money. Looking at the boxes of money, no Korean soldier was not jealous or moved.
For their soldiers, they had no extra money except a salary that was just enough to make ends meet.
After listening to the attendant's words, all the Korean soldiers looked at each other one after another. Their mouths were dry, and they all felt that the previous fatigue had disappeared, and the rammed earth and stones in their hands suddenly became lighter.
Shen Yuan, who was beside Young Master Cheng in the distance, saw Han soldiers who had been working hard for the whole day, acting just like the first day, or even worse.
Shen Yan was filled with emotion.
In the future, the young master will become the King of Han!
"Han is lucky to have a young master~!"
Shen Yuan, wearing Han Jia, bowed his hands in salute to Young Master Cheng.
Young Master Cheng quickly returned the gift humbly.
"Compared with the success of General Shen's plan, Han Cheng should be the one to thank General Shen!"
Young Master Cheng said politely, and then looked at Shen Huan: "If we retreat from Qin, General Shen should be the first to do so."
"He is a Han general. He led the troops to retreat from Qin. It was just his job. How dare he talk about his merits."
Shen Yan said.
However, even though he said this, Shen Yan was very proud of his heart. Regarding this strategy, he bluntly said that it was the best strategy in his half-life as a soldier.
When the Qin army arrived here, what was waiting for the Qin army was a high barrier and 50,000 Korean troops.
He feels.
This battle was enough to make him famous all over the world and let the world see his insightful strategies.
In this world, there is not only one Li Mu who can defeat the Qin army!
"Yes, I thought otherwise. General Shen led the troops to retreat from Qin, and Korea was able to prosper and prosper. With such achievements, I thought, General Shen should be the King of Wu'an of Korea."
Young Master Cheng said seriously.
Most of the people who retreated from the Qin Dynasty in the Six Kingdoms in ancient and modern times were crown princes.
And Wu'an Jun means to secure the world with Wu. If he retreats from Qin this time, Shen Huan can be worthy of this name.
One sentence.
Shen Yan was stunned on the spot.
As a general, who wouldn't want to be named Lord Wu'an?
A military commander's lifelong wish is for this title.
But from ancient times to the present, only Su Qin, Bai Qi of Qin, and Li Mu of Zhao have this honor.
Gongzi Cheng is not the king of Han, but he is a prince. He is now a general of Korea. After he retreats from Qin, his reputation seems to be like that of Su Qin and Li Mu, who can defeat the Qin army.
Think of this.
Shen Wan felt his heart beat a little faster.
If he can really get the title of Lord Wu An, he will have no regrets in this life and will have no regrets in death.
By the Lishui River.
Nearby, Shen Wan's cronies, the generals of the Korean army, and the attendants couldn't help but look at each other with shock when they heard what Young Master Cheng said.
Then, as they watched General Shen and Young Master Cheng continue their conversation, they felt in their hearts that anyone who saw this scene would probably lament that a virtuous king and a famous minister were nothing more than that.
But what no one expected at this moment, including Shen Wan and Young Master Chengdu, was.
At a place ten miles away from them.
On an official road, the ground was covered with corpses of Korean soldiers. A Korean soldier wearing Korean armor lay motionless on the ground, with blood flowing out continuously.
Beside the corpses, countless horse hooves crossed over their corpses.
