After Zhao Yang was rescued by Zi Lu and defeated Tian Qi, the pressure here was naturally relieved a lot.
But soon, Zhao Yang received another news. It was said that Kuai Chi and You Wujie, who were stationed at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, were now unable to fight against the returning Weiguo army.
Just because this time Nanzi learned that the person stationed at Wangwu Mountain was Kuai Chi, so the people she sent this time were all people from the countryside who had been specially promoted by her and were quite effective in defending the country.
They are different from ordinary people who defend the country. Now they only obey Nanzi's orders and have no good impression of Kuai Kui.
Therefore, it is natural for them to face Kuai Kuai without mercy.
Kuai Chi and You Wuxie were trapped in Wangwu Mountain with their lone troops. They were temporarily defeated and had to retreat steadily.
Seeing that Wangwushan was about to be in danger, at this moment, Sun Wu was ordered by the King of Wu to lead the Wu division and rushed all the way from the waterway! He was directly surprised and caught the guardsmen off guard!
The situation suddenly reversed, and Kuai Chi made a decisive decision and took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to counterattack. The guard army immediately retreated.
The crisis in Wangwushan was easily resolved by Sun Wu, and almost at the same time, the rear of the Zheng army that attacked Chaoge was also tied up by Ye Yi's division of Chu!
When Yang Hu saw the arrival of foreign aid, he was overjoyed and immediately went out of the city to fight, attacking from both front and rear.
Zheng Guo's Si Zhuan was also shocked, and when he learned that the Qi army had been defeated, he lost all will to fight. In panic, he had to order a retreat.
Later, Shen Yinxu and Yang Hu met again. After a pursuit, they saw the Zheng army trampling on each other, causing countless casualties...
After working together to repel the Zheng army, Yang Hu immediately led the Zhao army to meet Shen Yinxu of Chu.
I saw Yang Hu thanking Shen Yinxu and thanking him for coming to help regardless of the old grievances between Jin and Chu.
But Shen Yinxu waved his hand and said:
"Tian Qi is a villain who is neither an emperor nor a subject. He should be defeated by everyone in the world! What's more, the general is here to help me on the order of the emperor, and as far as the past relationship between the general and Mr. Ziming is concerned,
Friendship should also be regarded as the life of the three armies, and we dare not slack off!"
Yang Hu said:
"Thanks to Mr. Shen Yin for coming to the rescue in time, there is really nothing I can do to repay you. I will tell you the whole story, and I will never forget Mr. Ye's kindness!"
But Shen Yinxu still said humbly:
"Fortunately, Wangwushan has not been lost yet! Otherwise, if they come to besiege us, even if the end comes, it will be of no use!"
Yang Hu nodded and said:
"That's true! But...I heard that it was also because the world-famous General Sun Wusun led the Wu division to arrive in time, and they were able to turn defeat into victory!"
"I never thought that Mr. Ziming would have such a good face. He could actually instigate the troops of Lu, Wu, and Chu to come to his aid with just a snap of his fingers! It's really admirable!"
When Shen Yinxu heard this, he heard Li Ran's name, and Sun Wu couldn't help but look in the direction of Wangwu Mountain in a daze.
The grievances and hatreds between him, Li Ran, and Sun Wu were profound.
On the one hand, in the Battle of Chaoyi that year, as a native of Wu, he was an unknown soldier under King Zhufan of Wu.
Under Chaoyi City, King Wu died in battle, and all the soldiers of Wu State followed him and died generously! But he was the only one who was saved by Sun Wu and took him in. Therefore, he can live to this day and be able to
His current status is inseparable from Sun Wu.
However, Sun Wu, on the other hand, led the Wu army to destroy Chu! This was heartbreaking for Shen Yinxu, who had sworn allegiance to Chu!
As a native of the Wu State, he had to help the Chu State to fight against the Wu State. This not only made him unable to be trusted by the kings and ministers of the Chu State, but also forced him to fight against his former benefactor.
This caused him great pain.
At that time, Sun Wu seemed to be aware of Ye Xu's difficulties. He took him by surprise and spared Fangcheng Mountain. In Baiju, he defeated the larger army with less and defeated the Chu army led by Nang Wa in one fell swoop.
Take the capital of Ying!
Therefore, the two of them did not really encounter each other in that battle.
Now, Shen Yinxu stood there, not speaking for a long time, feeling overwhelmed for a while, and he didn't know how he would face this former savior or enemy if he saw Sun Wu.
But Yang Hu didn't know what Shen Yinxu was thinking, and said:
"Mr. Ye, let's go to the city to rest first. It's been a hard journey, and there may be a big battle in the future!"
Shen Yinxu came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Well, please lead the way, sir!"
So, Shen Yinxu and Yang Hu entered the Chaoge together.
…
Zhao Yang was naturally overjoyed as he received continuous good news. This meant that he could concentrate more on dealing with the Qi army.
And Zilu also actively cooperated with Zhao Yang. Before Zilu left, he was told by his master Confucius that he must obey Zhao Yang's arrangements.
On the one hand, Zhao Yang ordered his people to stick to the situation, but on the other hand, he freed up his hands to organize people to go out of the city to invade.
This move disturbed Tian Qi. He wanted to find Zhao Yang for a decisive battle as soon as possible, but he was always worried about the Lu army led by Zi Lu.
Tian Qi and Xian Shi discussed, only to hear Xian Shi say:
"Master Tian, now that the advantage is no longer on our side, but on the subordinates, it is better to withdraw our troops..."
When Tian Qi heard this, he couldn't help but slapped the case and left, saying angrily:
"Hmph! This time I led the army to go on an expedition, bringing with me a total of 200,000 troops! If we just withdraw like this, wouldn't I... wouldn't I have to lose face in front of my countrymen?"
Xian Shi said helplessly:
"But... now that the defeat of Wei and Zheng has appeared over Wangwushan and Chaoge, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's impossible to win! What's more... this Handan is just a place of right and wrong! As far as you are concerned...
…Is it really that important?”
At this time, Tian Qi was heard saying angrily:
"What do you know? Is this a matter of rescuing Handan? This is a battle for dominance between Qi and Jin. If I withdraw my troops like this, Zhao Yang will capture Handan, and he can then plot against Zheng and Wei, and he will be able to respond to a hundred responses at once.
!How can Qi State still have the ability to compete with him?"
Xian Shi continued:
"It is precisely because of this that we should recharge our batteries instead of showing off our strengths here! Sir, since you know the pros and cons of this, why are you so stubborn?"
Tian Qi's eyes narrowed and he said angrily:
"Hmph! No need to say more, I have my own arrangements!"
"What's more, we have no retreat! This battle is bound to be won! Xian Shi, you should not always think about how to evacuate, but should think more about how to capture Lincheng as soon as possible!
"
Now that they have reached this point, Xian Shi has no choice but to take the order and leave. Tian Qi angrily grabs the tea cup in front of him, throws it to the ground suddenly, and shouts:
"Shut Niu! Where is Shu Niu?"
Tian Qi called out Shu Niu's name and then remembered that Shu Niu had already been forced by him to assassinate Li Ran.
Over the years, no matter what Tian Qi did, he always had Shu Niu by his side to advise him.
At this moment, he was more or less missing him.
After a long time passed, Tian Qi couldn't help but secretly thought:
"Hey... forget it! If... Shu Niu can successfully kill Li Ran... As long as Li Ran dies, everything will turn around now!"
Tian Qi thought of this, looked at the sand table in front of him, and began to think again.
