"It's our place that is lagging behind." Le Yi said with a smile.
"I hope you will humble yourself, and I can only hope that you can prevent Bai Qi from having any thoughts of attacking. If there were another general, Yaoduguan would have been breached long ago." Feng Ting said.
"Bai Qi... By the way, the king said in the letter, let us be careful of the Qin army's surprise attack on the east side of the Wei River when it withdraws, and let us help the Wei army defend it." Zhao Sheng said.
"Didn't Qin just form an alliance with Wei? It shouldn't attack Hedong." Feng Ting said suspiciously.
"It's hard to say." Le Yi shook his head.
Although there is a saying that covenants are meant to be broken, under normal circumstances, how can a covenant bind both parties for a period of time? Otherwise, why would we form an alliance?
But when it comes to Qin, no one can guarantee what the other side can do.
In Xianyang City, King Huai of Chu died of depression.
In Ganquan Palace, the blood stains of King Yiqu are still eye-catching.
"Send someone to inform the governor of Hedong County of Wei State to be careful. In addition, send out scouts widely to report any movement of the Qin army immediately." Le Yi ordered.
"Wei and Qin came together to attack us, and we still have to help Wei defend the east of the river?" Feng Ting felt very unhappy.
If you take a step back, the more you think about it, the more angry you will become; if you endure it for a while, the more you think about it, the more you will lose.
"The king's order is here. And our Zhao State can only suppress Qin State by uniting with Han and Wei." Zhao Sheng said.
After his recent improvement in intelligence, Zhao Sheng fully understood Qin's previous plan and admired Zhao Kuo even more.
Originally, the State of Zhao was in a desperate situation, and the tendency of the State of Qin to dominate the world became more and more obvious. In the end, Zhao Kuo had his neck cut off.
Now as long as the three Jins join forces, Qin will never think of going east.
…
King Qin's order quickly reached Bai Qi. Bai Qi put down the "Huizi" in his hand, frowned slightly, and said to Bai Jing on the side: "Go and call everyone over."
"No." Bai Jing cupped his hands and retreated.
Bai Qi picked up "Huizi" again and read it with gusto.
He loved reading, and every time he went on an expedition, he would pull half a cart of books to read during the war, and this time was no exception.
Moreover, Bai Qi is not selective in what he reads, whether it is "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi", "Book of Songs", "Ritual", or even "Huangdi Neijing". Anyway, as long as it is not a military book, whichever book he catches is which one. .
It's not that he wants to switch to other schools, it's just to broaden his horizons and think about things from different angles. Drawing parallels can help him win more easily.
Moreover, these books can help him suppress his inner murderous nature and gain short-term peace.
Not long after, the generals of the Qin army entered the barracks one after another and saw Bai Qi reading a book. No one made a sound and sat silently in their respective positions.
When the last general sat down, Bai Qi seemed to have sensed something. He put down his book, glanced around with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has an order, ordering us to withdraw our troops and make a surprise attack on Hedong."
"A surprise attack on Hedong? Aren't we allies with Wei?"
"Yeah, it's not a good idea to do that."
"You will be laughed at by everyone in the world if you do this."
…
When the generals heard this, their expressions suddenly changed and they said very dissatisfied.
"Even if I am ridiculed by the world, it is me, Bai Qi, who is ridiculed by the world. What does it have to do with you?" Bai Qi stood up, put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and walked slowly to the front of the platform, with a cold face. said.
Bai Qi was also very dissatisfied with King Qin's order. Conspiracies and intrigues on the battlefield were normal, but stabbing someone in the back after forming an alliance was nothing.
Which country in the world will dare to form an alliance with Qin in the future?
Besides, Fan Ju just came up with an idea, and when the time comes, it will be Bai Qi who is scolded by people all over the world.
Although countless people in the world scolded him for Bai Qi, Bai Qi was still unhappy in his heart.
"The insidious villain Fan Ju." Bai Qi cursed in his heart.
"General, then we can't make a surprise attack on Hedong." Hu Yang said with clasped fists.
"You mean disobeying military orders?" Bai Qi glanced at Hu Yang.
"General, that's not what I meant..." Hu Yang shrank his neck and said with some fear. He did not dare to bear the responsibility of disobeying military orders.
"Haha." There was a sneer on Bai Qi's lips. If Hu Yang really dared to disobey military orders, he might become a famous general. Of course, he was more likely to be killed by the monarch.
But if you are as timid as you are now, you will be like this for the rest of your life.
"Okay, generals, listen to the order." Bai Qi said loudly.
"The end is here." Everyone stood up and said with clasped fists.
"Tomorrow at midnight, the entire army will pull out of camp and follow me to attack Anyi." Bai Qi ordered.
"promise."
…
"General, there is no one in the Qin army's camp." A scout suddenly rushed into the camp and reported quickly.
"The Qin army has indeed withdrawn." Zhao Sheng said with surprise on his face, "Gentlemen, shall we send troops?"
"Don't be anxious. Bai Qi can't take it lightly. If you send troops now, you may be ambushed. Send someone to inquire first to see if the Qin army has attacked Hedong. If the Qin army attacks Hedong, we will send troops again." Le Yi thought for a moment and said slowly.
.
Although Zhao Kuo asked them to help Wei defend Hedong, Hedong belonged to Wei after all. He could help them defend it, but he could not get in.
"Isn't this too slow? If Hedong has been defeated by Bai Qi by then, I'm afraid our small force..." Feng Ting said with some worry.
"We have warned the guards of Hedong County of Wei State before. As long as they are more vigilant, even if they are not Bai Qi's opponents, they can resist for a while." Le Yi said.
The Wei State has a hundred thousand troops east of the river. As long as they don't fall into the trap and defend the city, even Bai Qi won't be able to capture it for a while.
"If Wei can't hold on for even this time, then there's no need for us to give Hedong to them as a barrier." Le Yi said.
…
Jiangshan, 40,000 Qin troops were ambushed here.
Just like Le Yi was not sure whether the Qin army would attack Hedong, Bai Qi was not sure whether the Zhao army would come out to help the Wei army.
Just in case, Bai Qi sent Zhang Tang and 40,000 troops to ambush here, waiting for Zhao Jun to come.
A true general is never one who knows everything, but takes everything into consideration to ensure nothing goes wrong.
"General, it seems that Zhao Jun has not come out." The deputy general looked at Zhang Tang.
"Wait for one more day, and if they still don't come out, we will withdraw," Zhang Tang said.
On the other side, Bai Qi led an army of 60,000 people and rushed towards Anyi in a mighty manner.
"General, Wei seems to be on guard against us, and there seem to be more soldiers on the city." Bai Jing looked at the Wei soldiers at the top of Anyi City, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
He felt that Fan Ju's plan seemed to have been seen through by Wei Guo.
At the same time, there was a burst of sadness in my heart: Has the reputation of our Qin country gotten so bad? Even our allies are so wary of us.
"Send someone to shout in front of the city gate, saying that I have something to discuss with the governor of Hedong County." Bai Qi said expressionlessly.
"If you have anything to say, Mr. Wu An, just say it directly." Zhang Yan, the left master of Wei State, stood at the top of the city and said loudly, without any intention of opening the city gate.
Bai Qi's face was gloomy. The Wei State was indeed prepared and had sent reinforcements. Even the governor of Hedong County stood behind the visitor.
"I will say hello to Mr. Wei later," Bai Qi said, cupping his hands.
"The final general will definitely bring him for Lord Wu An," Zhang Yan said loudly.
"Send someone to inform Zhang Tang not to ambush." Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to Guanzhong."
"General, are we not going to fight?" Hu Yang asked in surprise.
"The Wei army is on guard, what can we do to fight against it?" Bai Qi said in a deep voice. In this situation, unless we recruit a large army and fight a protracted war, it is impossible to capture Anyi.
But Qin cannot afford a protracted war now...
"Where is the king..."
"I'll go talk to the king."
"It seems that the Qin army has no plans to attack us in Hedong." The guard of Hedong County looked at the Qin army retreating and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, this just shows that the Qin army originally wanted to attack our army, but gave up after seeing that our army was on guard. The Qin State really cannot be trusted."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, planning to persuade King Wei to have a good relationship with Zhao after returning.
