"If you bet your general's flag on the king's flag, the man named Tian is actually smart!"
Not long after Tian Dan left, Zongwei Lu Mu couldn't help but mock the former in front of Zhao Hongrun: "He doesn't even think about how virtuous and capable he is, but he wants to be compared with His Highness. How arrogant!"
After hearing this, Zongwei Zhou Pu also sneered and said: "What's even more ridiculous is that the bet is actually about which side will plant the flag at the top of Shoying City first... Ha! Both sides are taking advantage of Qi." After a pause.
, shook his head and said: "Tian Dan, who is famous all over the world, actually said such a ridiculous bet. It is really a pity for his reputation."
Listening to the denunciation of Tian Dan by the sect guards, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said nothing.
In fact, regarding this matter, Zhao Hongrun didn't think Tian Dan would play any tricks. After all, the look in Tian Dan's eyes just now was clearly the kind of joy that made him happy.
It can be seen that Tian Dan mostly accepted Zhao Hongrun from his heart and recognized that the latter, a 16-year-old young master of the Wei Kingdom, was on an equal footing with him, Tian Dan, a veteran who had been in the military for half his life.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun felt excited but not disgusted.
After all, Tian Dan is the most famous general in Qi who is good at fighting. He has experienced hundreds of wars during his half-life in the military, and his winning rate is as high as 70%. This impressive martial arts is enough to arrogantly surpass most people in the world.
General.
And this honor is enough to narrow the status gap between Zhao Hongrun and Tian Dan.
↖tAt least Zhao Hongrun didn’t feel it was a waste to use his king’s flag to gamble with Tian Dan’s general’s flag.
When Zhao Hongrun thought about it, if he could beat Tian Dan in this bet and win a flag that was written to General Tian Dan, it might be a trophy precious enough to be kept as a family heirloom.
As for the fact that this bet is obviously beneficial to Qi State, Zhao Hongrun doesn't care much about this. After all, since he decided to send troops to assist King Lu Xi of Qi in conquering Chu State, he came with the purpose of completely destroying Chu State, but this goal is difficult to achieve.
That’s all.
Therefore, even if Tian Dan planned to use this move to urge Zhao Hongrun to step up his attack on Chu, as Zongwei Zhou Pu and Lu Mu said, Zhao Hongrun would not feel disgusted.
"Okay, okay." Putting down the teacup, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand to stop the indignant denunciations of the sect guards, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to lose, why not just think about winning?"
"Your Highness, you can see clearly." Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao said with a wry smile: "I don't understand why Your Highness accepted Tian Dan's bet... He spent all his energy just for a broken flag."
"Broken flag?" Zhao Hongrun laughed, then turned to Wei Jiao and said, "Isn't the flag of Qi's famous general Tian Dan just a broken flag?"
"Anyway, I didn't realize that I didn't see the use of that crap." Wei Jiao curled his lips and said.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said with a smile: "The worst I can do is give it to my father... I gave it to my father during the hunt last year, but my father gave me a cold face for a while."
That's your fault, Your Highness...
Several Zongwei looked at each other and smiled knowingly in a tacit understanding.
Thinking about it carefully, their Highness must be said to be a strange person. Which of the other princes and Highnesses did not present the most valuable and rare things to please his father? But their Highness was good enough to give away the two he caught by the way on the way back from the hunting trip.
The rabbit was given to me, which was extremely perfunctory.
It’s hard for Your Majesty to have a son like our Highness...
Zhu Zongwei secretly chuckled.
"That's it." Zhao Hongrun clasped his fists together and said firmly: "With Tian Dan's flag, we don't have to spend more energy on my father's birthday this year."
You have never spent more energy in the past years...
The Zongwei secretly suppressed laughter. They wanted to see the expression on Emperor Wei's face when he found out that his son had used the flag of Qi general Tian Dan as a birthday gift.
But having said that, Tian Dan's general flag still has a collection value after all, at least it is more thoughtful than just carrying two rabbits.
Zhu Zongwei thought that the expression on Emperor Wei's face when he received two rabbits as a gift from his son after the hunt last year was truly wonderful, but it was a pity that the Zongwei did not have the opportunity to pay homage to them.
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this matter." Zhao Hongrun stood up and walked around the room for a few steps, and said seriously: "Now Suxian County has been conquered by our side. As a result, Fu Lisai's
Xiang Mo is bound to take action... Mu Qing, please send someone to invite General Xu Yin and the generals of the three armies.
, Qi came here. Tell them that the king and Tian Dan have reached an agreement. The conflict between our Wei army and his Qi army will be put aside for the time being, and the grievances and grievances during this period will be left to the capital of Chu King Shou Ying.
Decide the outcome." After that, he added in a joking tone: "Just tell them to stop guarding."
Hearing this, Zhu Zongwei secretly laughed twice.
After all, after the Wei army captured several key places in Su County today, generals such as Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi, and Lu Zhan were personally stationed in the area to prepare for conflicts with the Qi army.
Even Cai Qinhu, the general of the Western Wei camp of the Fenxing army, is said to have issued an order to kill the Qi army if they dared to cause trouble.
"Yes!" Mu Qing clasped his fists and left the room to send someone to summon him.
About a stick of incense later, Xu Yin, the general of the Fenxing Army, took the lead in arriving at the house where Zhao Hongrun was.
As soon as he entered the room, Xu Yin complained to Zhao Hongrun, saying that he had just made a pot of good tea, but before he could take two sips, he was called over by Zhao Hongrun.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun also apologized with a smile.
It has to be said that Zhao Hongrun and Xu Yin have gradually become familiar with each other these days, and gradually they will also make some harmless jokes. This is a sign that the relationship between the two is getting better and better.
He asked Lu Mu to get some tea cakes and make a pot of tea for Xu Yin. Zhao Hongrun invited the latter to sit inside the house.
During this period, Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao smiled and said to Xu Yin: "The general has a lot of leisure these days."
Xu Yin laughed and said: "With His Royal Highness King Su in charge of the three armies, why should Xu worry about it?... Your Highness is a genius!"
Indeed, Xu Yin, the general of the Fenxing Army, has been living a comfortable life these past few days. Anyway, Zhao Hongrun is in charge of the affairs of the three armies. As a general, he only needs to follow the army to show off every day, and at most he can check things for Zhao Hongrun.
However, Zhao Hongrun's decisions so far have been extremely wise, so much so that Xu Yin could not even join the army. He left the affairs of the Fenxing Army to his favorite general Cai Qinhu and simply became a bystander.
After hearing Xu Yin's praise, all the Zongwei felt happy.
Even though Xu Yin was praising Zhao Hongrun, they were even more delighted than his Royal Highness.
But after hearing Xu Yin's words, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, I'm afraid your leisurely days will be few."
After hearing this, the smile on Xu Yin's face was gradually replaced by solemnity. He stroked his beard and said with understanding: "Your Highness, are you referring to Xiang Mo of Fulisai?"
"Uncle Xu, what do you think of this?" Zhao Hongrun asked.
Xu Yin pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "Xiang Mo lost this county, and Fulisai became an isolated city... Although there are countless grains and grass stored in the fortress, as far as Xu knows, Fulisei, Longji Mountain
There are as many as 500,000 Chu soldiers in this area. Such a huge number of troops consumes a lot of food and grass every day... If Xiang Mo is trapped in Fu Li Fortress, he will be self-destructed."
Zhao Hongrun nodded, because he also felt that Xiang Mo of Fulisai would definitely choose to break out south.
The 500,000 Chu soldiers broke out to the south because of hunger. This is a major event that cannot be ignored. If one thing goes wrong, the Wei army in the west and the Qi army in the east may very well capsize in the ditch and be killed by the 500,000 hungry soldiers.
Swallowed by the torrent of Chu soldiers, the advantage that had been established with great difficulty was destroyed.
"Regarding this matter, we now have only two ways out: one is to defend Suxian. If Xiang Mo is forced to abandon the talisman and leave the fortress, the army of King Lu Xi of Qi will inevitably follow. Therefore, even if Xiang Mo attempts to use that
A huge force besieged our Suxian County, and he could not be trapped for more than a few days. On the other hand, if he did not retreat as soon as possible, he would be
Wang Luxi's army pursued them to Suxian County. By then, even if Xiang Mo wanted to leave, he would not be able to leave." After saying that, Xu Yin said seriously: "We have heard that the Xiang family is a general of the Chu Kingdom. If Xiang Mo is a general of the Chu Kingdom,
A general who is good at fighting will not be trapped in Su County for a long time. Therefore, Your Highness does not have to worry about Xiang Mo sending the 500,000 Chu soldiers to attack Su County."
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded, Xu Yin's opinion coincided with his.
"The second is to leave a few days of army rations and burn the food and grass in Suxian City...Wu Yuan did not burn the food in the city before his defeat, probably because he hoped that Xiang Mo could take the opportunity to capture Suxian when he withdrew his troops.
, the grain and grass in Suxian County can be used as
To provide supplies for Chu soldiers. But on the other hand, if we burn the food and grass stored in the city when Xiang Mo leads his army, it will not matter to him whether Xiang Mo attacks Su County... or even
, simply return Suxian County to Xiang Mo."
Hearing Xu Yin's last sentence, Zhao Hongrun's heart moved slightly, and then he glanced at Xu Yin in surprise.
Because in his eyes, Xu Yin was a very orthodox general, and his tactics in war were always fair and aboveboard, but he never expected that he would resort to such conspiracy and tricks.
Return Su County to Xiang Mo?
Ha! Xiang Mo, does he dare?
If Xiang Mo was stupid enough to occupy Suxian and give up the evacuation to the south, once the army of King Lu Xi of Qi arrived in a few days, Xiang Mo and his 500,000 troops would be in trouble.
"This is a good idea!" Zhao Hongrun praised, but then he grinned and exhaled: "But I'm afraid Xiang Mo won't be fooled..."
Hearing this, Xu Yin smiled and said: "Everything on the battlefield is nothing more than doing your best and depending on God's will. Many times, even if you throw out the bait, you may not be able to gain anything... Your Highness should understand this truth early on."
Zhao Hongrun carefully considered Xu Yin's words.
I have to say that this is indeed a wise saying, and it is also Xu Yin's experience, which has made Zhao Hongrun a lot of profit.
"In this case, we might as well throw away the bait of Suxian and see if Xiang Mo will be fooled..."
"good!"
On that day, the Wei army, under the incomprehensible eyes of the Qi army, began to repair the northern and southern city walls of Su County.
The degree of solidity is secondary, at least it makes Suxian County look less dilapidated than it does now.
It didn't take long for this matter to reach Tian Dan's ears.
Tian Dan was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately.
Is Ji Run trying to earn money from Xiang Mo?... Hehe, he means well, but he underestimates Xiang Mo...
Thinking about this, Tian Dan couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Fu Li Sai.
In that direction, there is a famous general from Chu who can be equal to him. (To be continued.)
