Zhao Ju led the army back to the barracks and had just settled down the army, at this time, Huang Xie came to Zhao Ju's side with a look of surprise and reported in a low voice: "Ling Yin, good news, good news, the matter in Jiangbei that Ling Yin has made me pay attention to has come to fruition." ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, his spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "How?" ”

"Ling Yin, it's already raining in Guangling, and it's been raining for two days in a row. Moreover, the rain in the south is advancing in the direction of Huaishui at the moment. According to the records of various places in previous years, if no unexpected situation happens, it will start to rain in Huaibei in about ten days. ”

Zhao Ju's face suddenly showed a look of great joy, and said with a smile: "Okay, good news, although this year's rainy season has not been advanced, but fortunately, it has not been postponed, and it is coming as scheduled!" ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju remembered that on the side of Fangcheng, the king of Chu had been in Fangcheng for nearly two months, and the people of northern Hanbei had suffered heavy casualties, and many counties had already been subsumed in the county, and the situation was already critical.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju turned around and came to a bookshelf in the camp, then pulled out an old map from the shelf, then put the map on the desk and unfolded it, and summoned Huang Xie, pointed to a circle on the map, and ordered: "You return to Huangcheng immediately, and then ask your father to immediately transport all the bamboo and wood armor stored in Huangcheng here."

Tomorrow, Ben will lead his army to camp here, and then he will sit in the barracks and wait for the bamboo and wood armor sent by your father. Also, tell your father that Ben Jiang intends to fight a decisive battle with the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song, and let him prepare for a decisive battle. ”

"No." Huang Xie answered, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard Zhao Ju's voice again: "Also, after you return to Huangcheng this time, you don't need to come to Ben to listen to the order, and follow your father." ”

Huang Xie was stunned, and then responded: "No." ”

Zhao Ju watched Huang Xie leave, until Huang Xie's figure disappeared into the distance, and then ordered: "Pass my order, tomorrow the third watch will make food, the fourth watch will eat, and the fifth army will set off." ”

"No."

Then, Zhao Ju summoned Xiang Junshen again and instructed: "There will be important military information handed over to you, you immediately set off to Wucheng in Jiangdong to find Tang Wu, the Zhuguo who is sitting in Jiangdong." ”

Xiang Junshen was stunned, and said with some reluctance in his heart: "Sir, the student wants to follow Mr. around." ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, his face sank, and then he put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said in a cold tone: "This is the general's military order, do you dare to disobey Xiang Jun!" ”

“···” Xiang Jun was cautious when he heard this, he was silent for a while, and then saw that Zhao Ju's eyes were cold, and his right hand had slightly pulled out the sword on his waist, seeing this, he had no choice but to respond: "Yes, sir, the student knows what to do, but when the student arrives in Wucheng, how should he say to Zhu Guo?" ”

A smile appeared on Zhao Ju's face, and he said with relief: "You don't have to say anything, Zhu Guo knows what to do when he sees you." When the time comes, you can serve by the side of the Pillar Kingdom. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ju came to Xiang Junshen's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, stared at his eyes and said, "Don't let the teacher down!" ”

Xiang Junshen's eyes suddenly wet: "Sir, student..."

The next morning.

In the Wei army camp in the west of Juyang, Gongsun Xi had just finished breakfast and was about to order the army to attack the city, when a spy hurriedly reported:

"Report, General, the spies who have just monitored the Chu army have come to report that after the Zhaoju army rested for half the night last night, at the fifth watch, they suddenly led the army to the south. Due to the large number of scouts of the Chu army, our spies could not follow, and the Chu army lost its trace. ”

Gongsun Xi was shocked.

"The fifth watch left secretly, and now his whereabouts are unknown! It's not good, Zhao Ju must have been in vain because of yesterday's raid, thinking that we wouldn't set up an ambush again today, so he came to raid again today. ”

Saying that, Gongsun Xi immediately ordered: "Order, let the army strengthen its vigilance, and send more scouts, so that Zhao Ju can't touch the closer." ”

"No."

"Order, immediately send someone to inform the Qi and Song armies, Zhao Ju has lost a trace, and let them strictly guard against Zhao Ju's sneak attack."

"No."

Then, the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song were cautious and vigilant for a whole day, until their army returned to the camp, and they did not see any Chu army.

Night.

Gongsun Xi returned to the barracks and looked at the map in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Ju led the army to retreat towards Huangcheng, but lost his trace halfway. It's just that at the end of this day, he neither returned to Huangcheng to rest and recuperate, nor did he borrow Huaishui to march quickly, so where did he go? ”

After thinking about it for a while and not figuring it out, Gongsun Xi had to order: "Send more spies to Huangcheng to investigate, and closely monitor Huaishui day and night, beware of Zhaoju going to the east through Huaishui." In addition, many spies were sent to the north of Huaishui to investigate, and they would have known Zhaoju's whereabouts.

Also, let the Song army strengthen the investigation of Shou County, lest Zhao Ju go to Shou County and we don't know anything. ”

"Yui."

The next morning, the Chu army set up a new camp.

At this time, Zhao Ju looked at Huang Xie, the commander who was escorting the bamboo and wood armor, and couldn't help frowning: "General Huang, didn't the general let you listen to orders under your father's account, why are you here again." ”

When Huang Xie heard this, he smiled and arched his hand: "Back to Ling Yin's words, now that the country is facing danger, it is also a Chu person, so naturally we must do our best to go to the national disaster together." Therefore, where there is a greater need for manpower, go there. ”

"It's dangerous here!"

"Under the nest, there will be no eggs!"

Seeing Huang Xie's insistence, Zhao Ju had to sigh lightly in his heart, and then looked at him again and asked, "Do you know water?" ”

When Huang Xie heard this, there was no trace of surprise on his face, and he nodded: "There are few people who grew up on the edge of Huaishui, and there are few people who can't water. ”

"Okay." Zhao Ju nodded, and then agreed: "In that case, then you can stay, remember, follow this general next, don't go far." ”

"Xie Lingyin!"

When Zhao Ju heard this, he didn't pay attention to Huang Xie anymore, but turned around and shouted to the soldiers who were building the camp: "Soldiers, speed up the progress, this will become our new military camp for the next period of time, I will hope that this military camp will be as strong as possible..."

The other side.

When Gongsun Xi was commanding the army to attack the city, he was only three points focused on attacking the city, and seven points on guarding against Zhaoju's sneak attack, when he saw a scout coming quickly towards him from a distance, seeing this, he immediately stopped commanding, and then looked at the scout.

"General Bao, we have found traces of Zhao Ju."

"What?" Gongsun was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Zhaoju?" Did he go to Huangcheng, or was he preparing to sneak up on us? ”

"Back to General Hui, Zhaoju is building a military camp."

"Build a barracks?"

"Exactly, we didn't find out where Zhao Ju was, but yesterday there was a transport team in Huangcheng coming to the east, and our spies who were monitoring Huangcheng saw this and immediately followed. As a result, the spies who followed the convoy unexpectedly found Zhaoju building a new military camp seventy miles west of Juyang. ”

Gongsun was stunned for a moment, his thoughts turned, and he immediately smiled: "That Zhaoju must have seen that our coalition army's defense of him was getting tighter and tighter, and our surveillance of him was getting tighter and stricter, so he gave up the original military camp and planned to set up a new battalion to hide his whereabouts."

But he never expected that although he successfully avoided our spies, he leaked the hidden treasures because of the Huangcheng transport team, which was the heavens to destroy Zhaoju, and he should have made this great achievement. ”

Saying that, Gongsun Xi was ruthless in his heart, and immediately sent an order: "Send the order down, immediately send someone to inform the Qi and Song armies, and they are going to discuss tonight." ”

"No."

"Pass the order, add dinner tonight, and add two pieces of meat to each person in the whole army, and one piece of fat for each person."

"No."

"Send an order to the Wei army outside Huangcheng, so that they can prepare and prepare to intercept the Chu army from Huangcheng to the east to rescue Zhaoju."

"No."

After speaking, Gongsun Xi immediately looked at the west and said with a cruel smile: "This time I was going to capture Zhaoju alive, and I was going to snow the shame of this year." ”
