The next day, the rebels entrenched in Shou County began to make rice, and the fifth watch began to eat, and after the meal was finished, the main force of the rebel army in the city and the rebel left and right armies outside the city immediately poured out of the nest and quickly went west.

On the other side, Xiong Huai, who was busy for most of the night last night, only slept for two hours before being called up.

"King, the spies have come to report that the rebels in Shou County have just left Shou County and are divided into three groups to kill us. Among them, among the 300,000 rebel Chinese army, they are the main force of the rebellion, and the rebel six monarchs and Quyang Jun are all in the Chinese army.

The left and right wings of the rebel army, 100,000 people each, were led by the rebellious Long Shujun and the rebellious Jun respectively. ”

Hearing this, Xiong Huai quickly took the wet wipes handed by Qu Zhi and wiped his face, and then asked, "Xianqing, there is news from Yinling and Guangling." ”

"Back to the king." Qu Shu took the wet wipes handed by the King of Chu, and while handing them to the soldiers beside him, he replied: "According to the report from General Zhaolang and General Shen Yifu of the Water Division, the rebels in the two places are defending the city and have not sent troops to reinforce Shou County. ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked, "Where is Qu Hui's situation?" ”

"The king, the rebellious six monarchs have agreed to the minister's request and let Qu Hui stay in Shou County. Moreover, Qu Hui sent a letter that he had already contacted our inner response in Shou County last night and had taken control of the west of Shou County.

After only half the hour, they will set fire to the enemy army inside and outside the western city wall of Shou County, and directly attack the rebels in the city to seize Shou County. ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai smiled.

At this time, Qu Zhi saw that the king of Chu had finished washing, and immediately sent breakfast: "Please have dinner for the king." ”

Xiong Huai glanced at the meal soup on the plate, but did not pick it up, but asked, "Is the army having rice?" ”

Hearing this, Qu Zhi continued to hold the plate, and responded: "Please rest assured, the king knows that there will be a decisive battle today, and it has been prepared last night, so that Yin Zhuguo Sima will report that the left, center and right armies have all finished breakfast, and the army has been reorganized, just wait for the king's order." ”

"So what are you waiting for!" Xiong Huai waved his hand directly and shouted: "Pass the widow's order, beat the drum, and the whole army will move forward and go to a decisive battle with the rebels." ”

"The King?" Qu Wei was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "The king hasn't had breakfast yet!" ”

At this time, Xiong Huai walked out of the temporary military tent, looked at the soldiers of the Guards who had been waiting outside for a long time, and shouted: "Later, the widow will go to Shou County to eat." ”

When the soldiers of the Guards heard that the King of Chu was going to Shou County for breakfast later, and saw the King of Chu smiling and confident, they suddenly felt relieved and full of confidence in the next decisive battle.

The other side.

The rebels traveled ten miles west before they received the news that the king's division had poured out.

"Qu Yangjun!" Liujun looked at Qu Yangjun on another chariot not far from his side with joy on his face, and said: "Now that I hear the news from the spies, I will be completely relieved, so that Yin Zhuguo and the two of them were really driven to the left and right armies by the tyrant, and the Chinese army composed of Wang Shi and county soldiers from various counties was indeed commanded by the tyrant himself. ”

"Hahaha..." Qu Yangjun laughed and said: "The tyrant is stubborn and self-serving, and this battle will be won." ”

Saying that, Qu Yangjun remembered Qu Zhi, and suddenly said with a burst of joy: "Now, Ben Jiang is only thinking about one question, that is, can we capture the tyrant, the crown prince, and Gongziping at the same time this time, if it can be done at this time, then we will capture three generations of Chu kings at the same time in one battle, and we will definitely go down in history." ”

When the six monarchs heard this, the picture of the King of Chu, the crown prince Heng, and the eldest grandson of the king of Chu being captured at the same time came to mind, and he couldn't help laughing.

As the two sides continued to advance, it was not long before the two armies met twenty miles west of Shou County and stopped at a distance of four miles.

During the emergency reorganization of the two armies, Xiong Huai immediately gave a look to the resignation behind him.

Seeing this, Qu Shu immediately nodded, and then drove forward, towards the rebel phalanx.

As soon as he left, Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "Pass the order, let all the nobles who came to vote last night drive in front of the military formation." ”

"Yui."

At this time, the six monarchs were reorganizing the formation and deploying the decisive battle strategy, and suddenly saw a chariot in the opponent's formation, and it was also under the banner of the three Lu doctors.

"The big war is coming, Qu Shu is preparing to launch a rebellion in the army, what are you doing alone?"

In the midst of his doubts, the chariot was very close to the rebel phalanx.

"General, the enemy will kill you, do you send someone to shoot it?"

The six monarchs did not disclose the identity of Qu Zhi, and when they saw someone asking to shoot Qu Zhi, they immediately gathered and said: "The two armies will not fight each other, so let's wait and see." ”

At this time, the chariot of the resignation came to a hundred paces away from the rebels, and immediately opened his throat and shouted: "The king's edict, the rebellion of the six thieves and others rebelled, and the crime is unforgivable, but the rest of the nobles and the people are forced by the rebels to obey it."

Therefore, the king issued an edict that only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be killed. Under the five doctors, those who are anyway are meritorious, those who retreat are not guilty, and those who blindly follow are exterminated. ”

After he finished shouting, he immediately asked the emperor to drive out from the middle, but he still shouted in the car: "The king's edict is to only punish the first evil, and the rest will not be killed." Under the five doctors, those who are anyway are meritorious, those who retreat are not guilty, and those who blindly follow are exterminated. ”

As the resignation continued to shout, as the voice of the resignation reached the rebels, the rebels immediately discussed.

"Anyway, there is merit!"

"Those who retreat are not guilty!"

"Blind followers exterminate the race!"

The soldiers of the rebel army, except for the army of the eighteen feudal lords who were the first to rise, the rest of the soldiers were all recruited from the captured counties.

These people were not under the control of the feudal monarch in the first place, but directly under the king of Chu, and they were originally dissatisfied with the forced recruitment of the feudal monarch, but it was only because they were coerced that they were compromised.

At this moment, as soon as they heard the shouts of the resignation department, there were those who looked around, those who were lucky, and those who looked at the captain with suspicion.

For a while, the actions of the rebel generals and colonels suddenly did not advance but retreated, either protruding forward here or concave somewhere.

For a time, the morale of the rebels plummeted.

At this time, in the front army of the rebels, Qu Yangjun discovered the army's changes for the first time, and then, Qu Yangjun looked at Qu Zhi from a distance, and saw that the rebels were in chaos wherever Qu Zhi went, seeing this, Qu Yangjun was angry and said: "Qu Thief is really hateful, mess with our army's heart battle array, should be killed!" ”

Liuxin, who was standing on the same chariot as Liujun, glanced at Liujun, saw Liujun frowning, but did not speak, and immediately crossed Liujun and said: "Quyangjun's words are wrong, Sanlu's heart can be learned, the sun and the moon can be seen, he must have been forced by the tyrant, otherwise, he would not have been alone in a car and risked his life to read the tyrant's edict." ”

Hearing this, Liujun stretched his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Brother Xian's words are reasonable, the doctor must have been forced by the tyrant." ”

Saying that, Liujun looked at Qu Yangjun and said, "Qu Yangjun, you are in a mess, just rely on the doctor to shout, how many people will hear it!" ”

When Qu Yangjun heard this, he thought about it, looked back, and saw that the army behind him had almost been rectified, so he was relieved.

The other side.

Xiong Huai saw that Qu Zhi's shouting had an effect, and immediately said to Lu Jun, who was unwilling to deal with it: "Lu Jun, Jiang Jun, it's time for the two of you to go out." ”

"Yui." Lu Jun and Jiang Jun responded at the same time, and then drove forward, and when they reached a hundred steps away from the rebels, they galloped to both sides, one left and one right, and shouted at the same time: "Everyone, raise your head and look forward, all of our Jianghuai feudal monarchs and nobles have already stood with the king, and all places outside Shou County have been recovered, so don't be stubborn and stubborn." Those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will be exterminated. ”

At this time, the nobles in the front of the rebel army looked up and looked ahead, and sure enough, there were more than 100 Jianghuai nobles in front of the King of Chu's array, and it seemed that except for them, everyone else had joined the army of the King of Chu to quell the rebellion.

Just when everyone was in a panic, the six monarchs shouted: "Everyone, don't panic, don't mess up, these actions of the wall grass are all expected by me." ”

As soon as Liujun's voice fell, Qu Yangjun immediately spoke: "General, why don't we charge directly." ”

Hearing this, Liuxin crossed Liujun again and said, "Quyangjun's words are wrong. ”

As he spoke, Liu Xin pointed to the chaotic ranks of the front army: "Our army is not in array, and charging at this time will do more harm than good." ”

Qu Yangjun opened his mouth, and when he saw that Liujun was also looking at the former army with a solemn face, he swallowed his words back.

At this moment, in front of the Wang Division, Xiong Huai said to Gan Mao beside him: "Xianqing, there is Lao Qing to go again." ”

"Yui." Gan Mao immediately gave up.
