In fact, not only the clan guards were shocked, but even Zhao Hongrun was greatly horrified.
You know, although Zhao Hongrun kept complaining about being restrained by Fang Zhong's hundreds of thousands of troops, if you look carefully, the Qi army on the east route led by Tian Dan was also stationed in Zhongli County, dozens of miles to the northeast.
There is a Chu army with two to three hundred thousand troops.
Don't look at Fang Zhong, Xiang Mo's army is more than 200,000 strong than Zhong Li's army, but you must know that Xiang Mo has little food and grass in his hands. In this case, even if he has an army of 500,000, he can't wield it.
Use all your troops.
On the other hand, in Zhongli County, in order to resist Tian Dan's army, not only were there more than 200,000 troops stationed in the city, but the Chu State also transported a lot of grain and grass to the city in advance.
In other words, the pressure on Tian Dan's side is much greater than that on Zhao Hongrun's side.
But even so, Tian Dan still captured Xiangcheng in such a short period of time, which shocked Zhao Hongrun and had to admire the famous general of Qi.
"Unexpectedly, Tian Dan took the lead..."
Zhao Hongrun's face looked a little ugly.
To be fair, the agreement between him and Tian Dan was to see who could attack the city wall of King Chu's capital Shouying first, rather than who could attack the city walls of King Chu's capital Shouying first. Therefore, even if Tian Dan conquered Xiangcheng before Zhao Hongrun, he would
It has nothing to do with that bet.
But even so, Zhao Hongrun still felt unhappy in his heart.
Seeing Zhao Hongrun's ugly face, Lu Mu quickly advised: "Your Highness, why should you care?...Tian Dan's army has many war weapons from the Lu State to help them, how can it be invincible? If our army has fierce fire oil in hand at this moment, even if
There are millions of Chu troops blocking the way ahead, and they have already been destroyed by Your Highness!"
Zhao Hongrun remained silent.
Although he also understands that what Lu Mu said is correct, winning is winning and losing is losing. He, Zhao Hongrun, is not someone who cannot afford to lose. Why should he make excuses for himself?
Besides, right now, the progress in conquering Chu State is just slightly behind Tian Dan, and it has nothing to do with their bet, so what should we care about?
However, the more Zhao Hongrun thought about it, the stronger the unwillingness became in his heart. He wished he could capture Juyang and Haoshang counties right now.
But his reason told him that at present he had no way to securely defeat Shouling Junjingshe.
Several days later, the Wei army was still harassing the Chu army, and the black crows continued to assassinate hundreds of generals, thousands of generals and even high-ranking generals of the Chu army. However, at Shouling Junjingshe
In his eyes, the Wei army was not far from destruction.
After all, as the time has been postponed to late October, the weather has become colder, so much so that when you wake up every morning, you can already faintly see frost.
This means that winter snow is coming.
But what puzzled Shouling Junjingshe was that Wei Gongzi Ji Run was indifferent to his ordering the Chu army to set fire to all the forests in Juyang County.
How could you remain indifferent?
Jing She was a little confused about this.
Because in his opinion, Wei Gongzi Ji Run was really a foresighted person. Otherwise, how could he have seen through Xiang Mo's water attack plan and used it to defeat Guling Lord Xiong Wu's 80,000 troops?
Therefore, Jing She had no extravagant hope from the beginning that he could use this move to destroy all the Wei troops south of the Hui River.
He just felt that if Wei Gongzi Ji Run really saw through his intentions, he would probably choose to retreat and make the Wei army return to the north bank of the Huihe River. As long as the Wei army retreated, he Jingshe would be able to defeat several Chu armies in Juyang County.
Restore morale.
More importantly, the Wei army in Juyang County retreated to the north bank of the Hui River, so Jingshe no longer had to worry about the more than 50,000 Wei cavalry in Xinyang County joining the army of Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
Jingshe is still very taboo about this.
Because almost all of Wei Gongzi Ji Run's army is infantry, while those in Xinyang County are all Wei's cavalry. Once the infantry and cavalry join forces, their combat effectiveness is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
In addition, the retreat of the Wei army in Juyang County will also help Juyang County transport grain and grass to Xiang Mo of Fangzhong, without having to worry about being attacked and robbed by the Wei army.
It has to be said that Jing She's move can be regarded as a conspiracy. He thought that even if Ji Run, the young master of Wei, could see through his intentions, he would have no choice but to submit obediently and withdraw his army to the north bank of the Hui River.
But he never expected that Wei Gongzi Ji Run would not order the Wei army to retreat.
What does this mean?
Jing She stood up and came to the window.
Although the house he was staying in temporarily was the villa of Ju Yangjun Xiong Li, and the flowers, plants, trees, waterside pavilions and pavilions outside the window were all very exquisitely decorated, he was not in the mood to appreciate it at all, and his mind was full of thinking about this.
thing.
That Ji Run...didn't he see through my intentions? Or maybe he had already thought of a way to crack it?
After thinking for a long time, Jing She finally preferred the latter guess, although even he could not think of a way to get Wei Jun out of the predicament.
However, he was not impatient, because in his opinion, no matter what kind of idea that Wei Gongzi Ji Run had, once it snowed heavily, everything would be revealed.
In contrast, it was another thing that gave him an even greater headache, that is, the group of assassins who had assassinated Chu army generals in succession in the past six months.
Yangxia Black Crow...
Jing She turned around and glanced at the ordinary wooden sign placed on the table. The four Wei seal characters were engraved on the wooden sign.
This wooden sign was found from the body of one of the assassins killed by the Chu army. Although Jing She had never heard of the deeds of this assassin force, from the witnesses in the Chu army, he
We have learned that this is a group of extremely brutal assassins. Not only are their assassination techniques superb, even if they are trapped and unable to escape, this group of assassins are also ruthless in killing a few more people before they die, with no intention of surrendering or begging for mercy.
This ferocity is no less than that of a dead soldier.
Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan are really...sigh.
Jing She shook her head again.
It has to be said that even he was a little helpless towards the two palace ministers: Wouldn't it be over if the two armies had a good fight and decided on the battlefield? What kind of idea was this? He actually sent an assassin to assassinate that man.
Wei Gongzi Ji Run. Is this okay now? Wei's assassins have come to take revenge. What can they do to stop them?
But now that the matter has come to an end, Jing She can’t say anything more.
After all, Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan's status in the Chu court was not low. Furthermore, Jingshe couldn't help but take the initiative to negotiate with the Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
Thinking of this, he returned to his desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, summoned his soldiers and ordered: "Go to Shoying immediately, hand this letter to Chu Shuijun, and ask him to send dead soldiers to help."
"Chu... Lord Chu Shui?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face. He seemed to have heard of Lord Chu Shui.
Jing She was not surprised by this.
After all, Lord Chu Shui is the most mysterious of the many younger brothers of King Xiong Xu of Chu. He has many warriors with extraordinary martial arts under his command. In the past, when the Xiong clan eradicated certain nobles, this Lord Chu Shui
Many of the assassins who died contributed to it.
"Go." Jing She ordered.
"Yes!" Seeing Jing She's order again, the soldier did not dare to disobey and quickly retreated.
Seeing this, Jing She flattened the map of Juyang County on the desk again, staring at every inch of Juyang County land on the map with bright eyes.
He had no idea of taking the initiative to attack, because his habit of using troops was to plan before taking action, but at the moment, he didn't know the Master Wei Ji Run well, so instead of attacking rashly, he might as well sit still and take a look at the Master Wei.
What method did Ji Run use to break his conspiracy?
To put it simply, Jing She wanted to see if the reason why Wei Gongzi Ji Run did not order the Wei army to retreat was because he had the means to build a camp under his nose.
Two days later, all the hundreds of carts filled with grain and grass that Shouling Junjingshe planned to transport to Fangzhong were loaded.
In fact, the grain and grass collected from other places have not yet been transported to Juyang County at this moment. These grains and grass are part of the grain and grass that Juyang Lord Xiongli has accumulated in the city.
In the eyes of Shouling Jun Jingshe, this may be the only place where Ju Yang Jun Xiong Li has made any contribution so far: Although he has made no achievements, he has at least stocked up a large amount of food and grass in the city in advance.
But what made Jingshe frown was that when the army escorting the grain and grass set off for Fangzhong, he received news within half a day: the convoy was attacked by the Wei army, most of the grain trucks were destroyed, and only a small part was saved.
After careful questioning, Jing She found out that the convoy was attacked by the Yanling army of Wei State, and the general leading the army was named Yan Mo.
How did Ji Run know that I wanted to transport food to Xiang Mo?
Jing She couldn't help but mutter a little guilty.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized his negligence: in all likelihood, it was Wei Gongzi Ji Run who got the news that Juyang County was collecting grain and grass from counties in the south.
It seems that Ji Run has already roughly figured out Xiong Li's nature... What a mistake.
While secretly regretting it, Jing She also had a higher opinion of Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
After all, he was able to collect grain and grass from Juyang County to the counties in the south. He guessed that Jingshe wanted to send grain to Xiang Mo, and quickly set up an ambush along the way. This shows how agile the thinking of Wei Gongzi Ji Run was.
How could such an astute and intelligent person not see through Jing She's plan to use ice and snow to destroy the Wei army?
It seems that this guy is very confident... It's really interesting.
Unknowingly, Jing She became very interested in Wei Gongzi Ji Run, who was said to be younger than a young man.
After all, although Shaokang, the leader of Wuyue, was a figure, the West Vietnamese rebels that he had suppressed many times in the past had never faced such a formidable opponent.
After a few more days, the weather became colder and colder, with patches of snow falling from the sky.
However, at this time, I was always paying attention to the Wei army's scenery and houses south of the Huihe River, but so far I had not received any news related to the Wei army's construction of camps.
To be fair, this was obviously good news, but Jing She felt a little uneasy for some reason.
Ji Run...what exactly does he want?
Standing at the window of the study room in the other courtyard, Jing She looked at the courtyard outside the window with an incomprehensible expression, gradually being shrouded in white snow.
It snowed heavily for two whole days.
On the third day, when Jingshe thought that the time was right and it was time to send troops to search for the Wei troops who had been frozen in the ice and snow for two days, he suddenly received an urgent military information that he could not believe.
"Report!...The Wei army built a city of ice and snow overnight twenty miles northeast of Juyang County!"
What?
Even if it is Shouling Junjingshe, he can't hide the horror in his heart. (To be continued.) 8
