Chapter 286: The Day of the Decisive Battle [Supplement 35/40]
"Three generals, please don't take what happened just now to your heart. For the current plan, we still need to work together."
After the military meeting, Chu Shuijun rarely personally sent the three generals Wei Shao, Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen away from the commander's tent, and repeatedly comforted him with kind words: "Huan Hu is not from a good background, so his words and deeds are inevitably a little bit...
It's vulgar, don't take it to heart, three generals."
After hearing this, Wei Shaoyu said angrily: "However, this man is going too far. It is clear that the war is coming, but he deliberately causes trouble and sows dissension. Huh!... I think he is the only one who will defect in the face of battle."
that!"
"How could Huan Hu defect to Wei?"
Lord Chu Shui laughed and shook his head. In comparison, he was actually more inclined to Huan Hu's concept, but he couldn't say it clearly. After all, he also needed the troops under Wei Shao and others.
So he comforted Wei Shao and others and said: "As I said in the tent meeting, both of you put aside your prejudices for the time being and go all out to deal with the decisive battle with the Wei army. As long as the coalition defeats the Wei army, all doubts will disappear, right?
"
Wei Shao was silent for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded: "Just what the prince said, I can't be as knowledgeable as that man."
After saying this, he, Wei Yun and Wei Zhen said goodbye to Lord Chu Shui and returned to their guard camp.
Before walking far, Wei Shao, Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen saw Tian Dan, Ji Wu, Huan Hu, Chen Shou and others standing there, seemingly waiting for them.
Because after seeing the three of them, Tian Dan took the initiative to greet them and said with a smile: "Three generals, it's still early, why don't you go to Tian's tent to sit for a while and have a drink?"
Seeing the smiling expression on Tian Dan's face, Wei Shao was secretly angry.
The reason is very simple, because when Chu Shuijun appointed his guards to serve as the right-wing front army, Tian Dan ignored his "asking for help" look, obviously not caring about the casualties of his guards at all.
This made Wei Shao secretly worried: After all, Tian Dan did not regard them as his own.
Thinking of this, he purposely glanced at Huan Hu and Chen Shou, and said coldly: "General Tian Dan, I'd better not go. After all, we can turn against each other at any time, right, Huan
General Tiger?”
"hey-hey."
Huan Hu said with a strange smile: "It doesn't matter, Huan will keep an eye on you and wait. If the three of you do anything to displease Huan, the sharp sword in Huan's hand will immediately cut off three of them."
The head of the throne."
"General Huan Hu." Tian Dan frowned and stopped him.
"You don't just say, 'If you three really turn against me,' but you say, 'What do you do to displease Huan?'... Oh, this Huan Hu, is he warning me?"
Wei Shao looked at Huan Hu calmly and said lightly: "Then please wait and see, General Huan Hu."
After that, he clasped his fists towards Tian Dan and said, "General Tian Dan, please forgive me and go back first."
Tian Dan looked at this situation with a headache and could only nod.
Half an hour later, Wei Shao, Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen returned to the headquarters of their guard camp.
After instructing the guards outside the tent to be more vigilant, the three of them walked into the tent and communicated in low voices.
"That internal agent was most likely Huan Hu... At that time, he was the only one in the tent who took the initiative to stay close to our army."
When saying these words, Wei Shao felt very emotional.
Yes, who would have thought that Huan Hu was actually the internal agent of the Wei State? You must know that this guy is still offered a reward of 50,000 taels of gold by the Wei State.
What is even more incredible is that both Chu Shuijun and Tian Dan have great trust in Huan Hu, so much so that when they had a dispute with Huan Hu just now, Chu Shuijun and Tian Dan had a vague intention of protecting Huan Hu.
"This evil bandit is really not simple." Wei Shao said with sincerity: "He was able to achieve his goal by deliberately arguing with us... but Lord Chu Shui and Tian Dan actually protected this person."
"After all, they are the evil party that stole half of the land of the Lu State." Tan Yuan Hou Wei Zhen also said with emotion: "This man started with hundreds of mounted bandits. Not only was he able to escape unscathed after provoking the Wei State, but his power gradually grew. From then on
A bandit suddenly turned into a general of the Lu State. How could he do this without any skills?" As he spoke, he asked in a low voice: "What should we do next?"
Wei Shao thought for a moment and said: "That Huan Hu repeatedly hinted that "he will stare at me and wait", most likely to express that he will come to our army in person during the decisive battle. If this is true, then I
You might as well follow his instructions when the time comes...this man is not a simple person."
Wei Yun and Wei Zhen nodded repeatedly.
Although they didn't know Huan Hu's plan, since this person was 'communicating' with the three of them under the eyes of Chu Shuijun and Tian Dan, it was enough to prove that this person had great plans in the city. This made Wei Shao and Wei Shao
Yun and Wei Zhen gained a little more confidence in the matter of "turning sides before the battle".
"The relationship between people... is really incredible."
Wei Shao shook his head quite dumbfounded.
Isn't that right? Tian Dan, who they originally wanted to cling to, immediately abandoned them when "Wei Guo gained the upper hand" and acquiesced to Chu Shuijun to take the opportunity to consume the strength of his guards, lest his guards would surrender when the time came.
to the Wei camp; on the contrary, Huan Hu, the guy who mocked them and argued with them in Chu Shuijun's tent, turned out to be their ally that they could truly rely on each other.
I have to say that there are many things in this world that are truly magical.
At the same time, Ji Wu, Huan Hu, and Chen Shou were following Tian Dan to the latter's handsome tent.
After everyone sat down in Tian Dan's tent, Ji Wu curiously asked Huan Hu: "General Huan, you have a grudge against Wei Shao and others? Otherwise, why are you targeting them like this?"
Seeing Tian Dan also turning his attention to himself, Huan Hu shook his head and said: "Huan is not targeting the guards, but in my opinion, the guards are really a hidden danger... If I were Lord Chu Shui, I would never do it at this time
Use the Guards as the front army."
Tian Dan nodded when he heard this, and immediately said with relief: "After all, the Guards still have 40,000 people, which is a considerable force. As you said, if they are placed in the rear army, the threat will be even greater.
, it is better to appoint him as a front-line army, and I will just pay more attention to him when the time comes."
"Hmm."
Huan Hu frowned slightly and nodded.
Three days later, on March 28, it was the day when Wei King Zhao Run made an appointment with Chu Shuijun, the leader of the coalition forces.
On this day, the allied forces of various countries left their camps early and rushed to the battlefield, arranging their troops in front of the Wei army's defense line at "Daliang-Yecheng".
At the same time, the Wei army also came out in full force and deployed troops outside the position.
The generals of the Wei army are deployed as follows:
The "former military commander" is held by "Zhou Ji", the president of the Daliang Guards.
The "Left Command of the Front Army" and the "Right Command of the Front Army" are both held by two generals of the Daliang Guards, "Hou Dan" and "Li Lin".
The "Commander of the Chinese Army" is served by "Wei Jiao", the president of the Luoyang Imperial Guard.
The "Left Command of the Central Army" and the "Right Command of the Central Army" are held by two generals, "Zhu Gui" and "He Miao".
In addition, "Chengling King Zhao Shen" served as the "left commander of the rear army", and "Shangliang Marquis Zhao Anding" served as the "right commander of the rear army".
Finally, Zhao Run personally took charge of the rear army-that is, the main formation of the Wei army was located this time.
"call--"
Looking from afar, the allied armies of various countries were arranging their troops, and saw Wei Wang Zhao Run standing on a chariot drawn by four-horse horses, holding a sharp sword and letting out a long breath.
The one closest to him is "Tiance Mansion Counselor General Zhai Huang", who serves as Zhao Run's deputy general and is responsible for assisting the latter in commanding the war from an overall perspective, playing a role in checking for leaks and filling in gaps.
"Looking at the military strength of the coalition forces from all the countries from here, it is really one after another, which doubles the pressure..." Zhao Run said with emotion.
After hearing this, Lieutenant General Zhai Huang smiled lightly and said: "Victory may not necessarily come from having more people. Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to just compare the number of soldiers on both sides in a war?"
"good!"
Zhao Run praised him and then ordered: "Zhai Huang, you stay in this formation while I go to the coalition's formation to take a look."
Zhai Huang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately guessed Zhao Run's purpose: "Your Majesty wants to take the opportunity to see the formation distribution of the coalition forces?... Then, your Majesty, be careful."
He did not stop Zhao Run, because in the last confrontation between Zhao Run and the coalition forces of other countries, the monarch of his Wei State had said something to the Wei soldiers under his command before the battle, or something to make Wei
The soldiers were greatly inspired by the heroic words: if you all win, then I and you will live together; if all you lose, then I and you will both perish!
Therefore, it is meaningless to dissuade this monarch.
Zhai Huang just felt excited - even His Majesty is doing his best to do what he can, let alone me?!
Because of this, several Wei officials who were standing on horses on both sides of the carriage Zhao Run was riding, such as Chu Shuli, Prime Minister of Daliang Mansion, Cao Jing, Bolang Cheng, Jie Zizi, Zhang Qigong and others, were hearing that their family was
The monarch wanted to go to the coalition formation in person. Although his expression changed slightly, he still did not dissuade him.
At most it's just a request to follow.
However, Zhao Run did not agree with these ministers to follow, and waved his hand and said: "I am going to see the strength of the coalition forces. What do we need so many people for? Cen Chang, Yan Shun, and Tong Xin are enough to follow."
The "Cen Chang" in Zhao Run's mouth was the former commander of the "Su Wang Wei" who had followed Zhao Run for more than twenty years; while Yan Shun and Tong Xin were promoted by his father, Zhao Si, and were formerly members of the Gong Wei Division.
Commanders on the left and right.
They are all confidants of the humerus whose safety can be entrusted.
Including Chu Heng, the general of the Guards who drove a chariot for Zhao Run.
After rejecting the following of Jie Ziu, Zhang Qigong and others, Zhao Run rode on a four-horse chariot and slowly headed towards the coalition forces under the protection of more than 200 "Tiger Guards" led by Cen Chang, Yan Shun and Tong Xin.
direction.
Of course, in order to be cautious, Chu Heng stopped his chariot when he was still more than a mile away from the coalition front line, and slowly drove Zhao Run back and forth along a route parallel to the coalition front line.
Anyway, in Chu Heng's view, this distance was enough for Zhao Run to observe the coalition's military deployment from a distance.
If you get any closer, you may be in danger.
At this time, Zhao Run was observing the coalition forces attentively, remembering the distribution of troops in each array of the coalition forces in his mind, so that he could direct the war later.
In addition to this, he also has a more important purpose in mind, that is, he wants to grasp his position as an internal agent in the coalition forces of various countries.
Yes, they were Huan Hu and Chen Shou from the State of Lu.
To be honest, Zhao Run was not very sure about instigating Huan Hu and Chen Shou to rebel. Therefore, before that, he did not regard this as his trump card to defeat the coalition forces of various countries, but pinned his hopes on Zhao
Xinjiang's "Korean Attack Army" and Shen Yu and Wu Ji's "Shang Shui Army".
However, the Qin State's use of troops against Wei State disrupted Zhao Run's plan, prompting Zhao Run to take the risk of using Huan Hu and Chen Shou, two internal agents, in order to defeat the coalition forces of various countries as soon as possible.
"The commander-in-chief of the former army is Xiang Mo...the commander-in-chief of the central army should be Tian Dan. Most of Lu's troops are placed on the two wings..."
Just when Zhao Run was secretly guessing, he suddenly heard a sneer not far away, and then someone shouted in a sarcastic tone: "Is the monarch of Wei State Zhao Run in front of you? Haha, as a monarch, you are in front of the enemy's formation.
This is not a wise decision... If I lead my troops out of the formation at this moment, the majestic King Wei will run away in embarrassment, hahahaha..."
"This voice is..."
Zhao Run's heart moved slightly, and he subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from. Soon, he vaguely saw Huan Hu's figure at the position of the coalition's right-wing front army (north), that is, in front of the Patriot army's formation.
"That's Huan Hu?...What is he doing standing in front of the Patriot Army?"
Ignoring Huan Hu's provocation, Zhao Run frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.
