On the seventh day of Xiang Junshen's arrival in Wucheng, on this day, he once again anxiously walked into the city guard mansion to inquire about Tang Wu's movements.

With this question, Xiang Junshen suddenly became furious and said: "What, after Zhuguo got the news of asking for help, he did not return to Wucheng, but continued to go east into Yinxian?" ”

Wen Que, who stayed in Wucheng, nodded and said, "Yes, when Zhu Guo got the news, the inspection team had already arrived outside Yin County, and Yin County was the last location of this inspection. Yes, Zhu Guo said that in order to deter Jiangdong, he also did not want to hit the morale of Jiangdong soldiers, so Zhu Guo still went to Yin County and perfectly inspected all the places in Jiangdong to calm people's hearts. ”

"I went to Yin County..." Xiang Junshen asked desperately: "How many days will it take for Zhuguo to return from Yin County." ”

Wen Que opened his mouth, then was silent for a while, and responded: "Yinxian is thousands of miles away from Wucheng, calculate the distance, if Zhuguo is fast, it should take half a month." ”

Xiang Jun cautiously heard this, and asked in a cold tone: "How long will it take for the Zhu Kingdom to lead the army from Wucheng to Huaibei?" ”

“···” Wen Que replied in Xiang Junshen's blood-red gaze: "If it's fast, it will probably take half a month." ”

"One month!" Xiang Junshen roared angrily: "Do you think Ling Yin can hold out for a month? ”

“······”

Yinxian County Ya.

At this time, Tang Wu's deputy general Tang Lin reported to Tang Wuyu: "Zhuguo, the Chu army of Wu has come to report that our 70,000 army has been broken into pieces, out of the sight of spies from various countries, and successfully transferred to the islands off the coast of Wucheng. Now as long as Zhu Guo gives an order, the 70,000 troops can immediately board the ship directly, and then go north from the sea to Huaibei. ”

"Okay, after several months, I finally avoided the eyes and ears of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Song and the local nobles, and completed the transfer of the army." Tang Mo was overjoyed, and then ordered: "You immediately prepare a fast boat for Ben General, and later Ben Jiang will take a boat directly from Yin County and go to meet the army by sea." ”

"No."

"Also, please come and see Dasi Nong Xu Zi, there will be important matters to discuss with him."

"No."

After Tang Lin left, Tang Yu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the north, and muttered softly: "At this time, when the south wind is prevailing, our army will go to Huaishui from the sea, all the way day and night, and if the wind and water are smooth, it will only take five days to reach Huaiyin." Then the army marched from Huaiyin to Huaibei, even if the heavy rain on both sides of Huaishui did not stop, it only took five days to reach the battlefield.

Counting the end time of the rainy season in Huaibei in previous years, it is said that when the army arrives, there will be a day or two of rest time..."

Soon after, Tang Wu and Xu Xing jointly announced in the county office, and the two of them officially announced that the activities of inspecting the counties in Jiangdong were perfectly over.

Then, Tang Yu personally announced that he would lead the army back to Wucheng first, while the Jiangdong nobles who followed the inspection would slow down with Dasi Nong.

Upon hearing this news, the nobles of Wu Yue were immediately relieved.

Before the Five Kingdoms invaded Chu, then Qi, Wei and Song sent a large number of spies and lobbyists to Jiangdong to lobby the nobles, and fanned the flames everywhere in Jiangdong, trying to disrupt Jiangdong and drag down the Chu army in Jiangdong.

As a result, when the hearts of the people in Jiangdong were fluctuating, Tang Wu, who was guarding Jiangdong, together with Dasi Nong Xu Xing, jointly announced that they would lead 5,000 Chu troops to inspect the counties in Jiangdong.

The Wuyue nobles in Jiangdong originally thought that Tang Wu's move was to deter Jiangdong, but they didn't want to, and Tang Wu pulled the local nobles into the inspection team every time he went to a place, and he said that he would have fun with everyone in the name of it.

The nobles of Wu Yue originally thought that Tang Yu's move was to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, just like what the King of Chu did in Jiangdong a few years ago.

As a result, until Tang Mo finished inspecting Yin County, the southeasternmost part of Jiangdong, and knew that the inspection was over, they did not see Tang Mo kill anyone.

It wasn't until this moment that they knew that Tang Mo had pulled them into the patrol team, not to kill, but just to control them and prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

In this regard, many Jiangdong nobles are secretly muttering: This Tang Yu is too careful.

Soon after Tang Wu announced his return to Wucheng, the spies sent to Jiangdong by the Qi, Wei and Song Kingdoms also learned of the news, and then they closely monitored the Chu army in Yinxian County.

In the military camp of the Qi army in the west of Juyang City.

Kuang Zhang took the Jiangdong information sent by Tian Da, and immediately frowned: "Xiang Jun, who went to ask for help, is still stranded in Wucheng, asking about Tang Wu's whereabouts every day, and Tang Wu has finished his trip to Jiangdong, and is leading the Chu army all the way back to Wucheng at this moment, nine days, calculating the distance, at this moment Tang Wu should be almost to Wucheng, or has already arrived in Wucheng."

On the Wucheng side, the Chu army had already been assembled, and as soon as Tang Wu arrived, he could immediately set off for Huaibei. Calculating the distance, if Tang Yu marched all the way, it would only take half a month to rush to the rescue of Zhaoju. ”

Speaking of this, Kuang Zhang came to the door of the big tent with a worried face, then looked up at the sky that was constantly swaying rain, and sighed: "The rain in Huaibei is too long, and it has been raining for nearly 20 days in a row, and the rain has not stopped. ”

At this time, Tian Da smiled and said: "General, don't worry, in the past three days, there has been no heavy rain in Juyang and Huangguo, but it has been raining lightly intermittently, and even the sun came out for a short time yesterday, which shows that the rainy season in Huaibei is coming to an end." At this time, Tang Mo was still in Jiangdong, and when Tang Mo came, at that time, I am afraid that he could only collect the body of Zhao Ju. ”

Kuang Zhang smiled when he heard this, and then his face turned pale, and he said: "Don't underestimate Zhao Ju and Tang Yu, these two people have been in the world for many years, and until the dust settles, don't underestimate them." ”

Tian Da didn't think so when he heard this, but when he saw Kuang Zhang's face, he still responded respectfully: "What the general said is true." ”

Kuang Zhang nodded, and then ordered: "Immediately send someone to give Gongsun Xi and Su He another wake-up call, and tell them that the heavy rain continues, and it is necessary to place the camp on the high ground to prevent the Chu people from attacking." ”

"No."

"Send more spies to monitor all parts of Huainan to prevent Tang Yu from suddenly killing."

"No."

Soon, in a stronghold of Qi army spies in Huainan, as soon as the ten spies received Tian Da's order, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Then, one of them said: "The news I got five days ago, it is said that Tang Wu is still crossing the land, even if Tang Wu and the Chu army in Jiangdong are given wings, in this heavy rainy day, the Chu people will not be able to fly here from Jiangdong." As a result, now the general has asked us to brave the rain to investigate the enemy's situation. ”

"Yes, the general was a little too careful."

"Yes, not only is it too cautious, but it is also not at all considerate of us soldiers."

"yes..."

Then, after the ten people complained for a while, one of them spoke: "Since Tang is in the future, and now it is raining heavily, why don't we wait for the rain to stop before going out to investigate." ”

"This... We haven't been out to inquire for seven days. ”

"We've only been seven days old, and it is said that the people next door to us, except for the previous few days, they went out in the rain to investigate, and now, they haven't gone out in the rain for fifteen consecutive days."

"Yes, since there was no accident in the previous seven days, then there will definitely be no accident today."

"It's the pole, it's the pole..."

On the other side, in the camp of the Wei army, Gongsun Xi disdainfully handed the letter sent by Kuang Zhang on the side.

"Be careful of water attacks, Ben will lead the army to fight for many years, does this matter still need to be reminded by him again and again?

Zhaoju's military camp is in the lowlands, but the big camps of our Wei and Song dynasties have been relocated to high and low early, and the terrain here is much higher than Huaishui, and there are no big rivers around.

Water Attack! Sure enough, the older people get, the more timid they become. ”

Gongsun Xi said disdain for Kuang Zhang, then looked up at the sky that was still raining lightly, and said expectantly: "Zhaoju is surrounded, the Chu army of Juyang Huangguo is blocked, Tang Yu is still in Jiangdong at the moment, the weather will be clear in a few days, this battle should be famous all over the world!" ”

At the same time, in the Chu camp, Zhao Ju took Tang Yu's letter and was overjoyed: "Okay, it's really good, has the Zhu Kingdom arrived!" Moreover, there will be rainy weather tomorrow, and the rainy season will officially come the day after tomorrow?

Well, Zhu Guo is the leading astronomical master of my Chu State, and he guards Jianghuai all the year round, and Zhu Guo's prediction will naturally be believed. ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju immediately summoned the generals and ordered: "Ben is about to observe the celestial phenomena and find that the rain in Jianghuai is about to stop, so Ben General intends to lead the whole army to break through early in the morning after tomorrow, please go back immediately to prepare, let the soldiers take off their leather armor and replace them with stronger wooden armor, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Wei and Song dynasties, and the army will break through." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and then responded in unison: "No." ”
