Two days later.

As soon as Zhao Ju returned to Juyang, he saw Yin Jun who was left behind in Juyang hurried over.

"Ling Yin, it's great that you're back."

Zhao Ju saw Yin Jun's happy face, and said strangely: "But what happened, could it be that the coalition forces of various countries have killed me?" ”

Yin Jun shook his head, and handed an edict with both hands: "That's not true, but the king's edict has arrived." ”

Zhao Ju was stunned, took the edict from Yin Jun's hand and took a look.

When he saw that there were only 300,000 Chu troops in Juyang and Huangcheng combined, he couldn't help frowning.

If the 300,000 Chu army is just defending the city, if it is just holding Huaibei without losing, it is enough.

However, after half a year of hard work, what he wanted was not to hold Huaibei, or even to repel the coalition forces of various countries, but to stay in Huaibei with most of the enemies who would attack at that time.

And for this goal, 300,000 Chu troops are far from enough, and this Chu army is not enough to support his plan.

······

Yingdu.

Just when the people of Yingdu were busy for the next battle, from the king of Chu to the people of Limin, Qu Yuan, the left disciple, walked into the Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai saw Qu Yuan walking quickly, and immediately asked: "Xianqing is dispatching in the city bureau, but he came to find a widow, but where is Taifu or Gongyin understaffed?" ”

Qu Yuan shook his head and looked at the attendants around him, but did not speak.

Seeing this, after Xiong Huai dispersed the attendants in the palace, he immediately asked, "What happened, why is Xianqing so cautious." ”

Qu Yuan immediately responded: "The king, just now Ling Yin's henchmen found the minister, and asked the minister to hand over a secret letter from the king to Ling Yin." ”

"Ling Yin's secret letter?" Xiong Huai was stunned.

Ling Yin Zhaoju's letter, if it is related to the military situation, it will be handed to him by Sima left and right through the channels of Sima Mansion. If it is related to internal affairs, it will be passed on to him through Zuo Yin, and if it is something secret, it will be passed on to him through secret.

Now Zhao Ju asked Qu Yuan to deliver the news in the center, which is a bit unusual.

Then, Xiong Huai took the secret letter and looked at it, and immediately took a big breath of cold air, and at the same time couldn't help but let out an exclamation in his mouth: "Crazy, Ling Yin is crazy, as the head of a hundred officials, how can he be trapped." ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he immediately looked at the King of Chu in disbelief, the last time he saw the King of Chu lose his temper, it was more than twenty years ago.

Now the king of Chu has lost his temper again.

Then, Xiong Huai thought silently, looked up and saw that Qu Yuan was looking at him nervously, and immediately passed Zhao Ju's secret letter to Qu Yuan.

After Qu Yuan looked at it, he asked worriedly and expectantly: "Xianqing, what is Ling Yin's plan?" ”

Qu Yuan pondered for a long time, and then said: "If it is according to Ling Yin's plan, Ling Yin will lead the troops outside, use himself as a bait to attract the coalition forces of various countries, and then guide the enemy army to the designated battlefield, and finally only need to wait for the rainy season next year, and when Xia Ze is full of water, you can break the embankment and release water to impact the battlefield." ”

Speaking of this, Qu Yuan frowned and said: "The countries are not familiar with the terrain of Huaibei in China, and they would never have thought that a fertile fertile field was a Daze a few decades ago, and now it will suddenly become a Daze spanning dozens of miles, not to mention that there is Ling Yin as bait."

So, the probability of success of this plan is extremely high.

It's just that the only problem is that Ling Yin will inevitably be in the middle of the battlefield in order to attract enemy troops. As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, under the impact of the water, Ling Yin and the 100,000 Chu army led by Ling Yin will inevitably be defeated by the water, and the minister is worried that if the Zhu Kingdom is not rescued, Ling Yin will have a good one..."

Xiong Huai nodded, Zhao Ju, who was in the middle of the battlefield, if he was washed away by the flood, the chance of his death was also extremely high.

It's just that Xiong Huai thought about it carefully, and the chances of success of Zhaoju's plan are very high. Since Zhao Ju is not afraid of life and death, what else is he hesitating about.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "Xianqing, you immediately send a secret edict to Zhu Guo, so that he can personally lead the 80,000 Chu troops in Jiangdong to the north to support Ling Yin in the rainy season of the coming year." ”

"Yui."

"Also, Xianqing immediately used the lack of battle armor of our Chu army as an excuse to ask the people in Jiangnan who had not been recruited, a pair of bamboo armor from each household, and all the remaining bamboo armor and wooden armor in Taifu were sent to Ling Yin.

In addition, the widow sent an edict to the water master, and asked Shen Yifu to order Yin to obey his orders. ”

"Yui."

After Qu Yuan left, Xiong Huai sighed worriedly: "There is only so much that the widow can do, I hope Ling Yin can come back alive." ”

······

Juyang.

Zhao Ju received the reply from the King of Chu, was silent for a long time, and then said confidently: "Although it is said that the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, but this time the time and place are all in me, and this battle will be won." ”

A few days later, the date of the five kingdoms agreed to attack Chu arrived, and on the same day, hundreds of thousands of prepared troops left the strongholds of each country and began to kill the defense lines of various parts of Chu State.

In another twenty days, the Qi army passed through Shangqiu and joined the 80,000 Song troops of Shangqiu, and went straight to Juyang.

On the other side, the 150,000 Wei army was divided into two after leaving Chencheng, of which 50,000 headed for Huangcheng, while the main force of 100,000 headed for Juyang under the leadership of the Wei general Gongsun Xi.

At the same time, the Han army stationed in Shangcai went straight to Yecheng under the leadership of Han Wei.

As for the Qin army, under the leadership of Qin Prime Minister Gan Mao, they slowly moved along the Danshui and slowly headed towards the Danxi defense line.

The city guard of Juyang City.

"Newspaper... Ling Yin and Gongsun Xi had already led the Wei army to the north of Juyang City, thirty miles north, and the Wei army was camping at the moment. ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, his spirits were lifted, he looked at the map, and then asked: "The Wei army has arrived, so where is the Qi and Song coalition army?" ”

When the Yin Jun on one side heard this, he immediately responded: "The Qi and Song coalition forces have just entered Yingdong, and it is still five or six days away from Yingdu. ”

"Sure?" Zhao Ju asked again.

Yin Jun nodded: "You can confirm it." ”

At this time, Xiang Jun opposite Yin Jun also spoke: "Rest assured Yin, since we learned that the Qi and Song coalition forces came to Juyang through the Song Kingdom, our spies have been scattered on the avenues and trails of Huaibei, and with my familiarity with Huaibei, the Qi and Song coalition forces will definitely not be able to avoid our eyes and ears." ”

"Okay." Zhao Ju was overjoyed and said: "Since the Wei army dares to kill Juyang alone, then we will go to frustrate the Wei army's spirit." ”

"Pass my general order, order 100,000 troops, and follow me to meet Gongsun Xi for a while."

"No."

Soon, the gate of Juyang City was opened, and Zhao Ju personally led 100,000 Chu troops to the north.

Wei Jun.

"Report to the general, Chu Xiangzhao Ju led an army of 100,000 to kill us."

Gongsun Xi heard this, and snorted softly.

"My 400,000 Three Kingdoms Alliance troops came to besiege Juyang, and Zhao Ju didn't think about how to defend the city, so he dared to go out of the city to fight."

Saying that, Gongsun Xi smiled coldly again: "Zhao Juqian has poor donkey skills, he must have seen my 400,000 coalition troops killed, and he didn't expect to be able to hold Juyang, so he planned to break our army first." ”

After speaking, Gongsun Xi made a rough calculation in his heart, Chu Jun was eager to fight, and he waited for work, plus he had dealt with Zhaoju for many years, so he knew that Zhaoju was not easy to mess with.

Although the two armies were equal in number, he didn't have much divine calculation.

What's more, as long as the Qi and Song coalition forces come, he can overwhelm people with his power, and there is no need to fight with Zhaoju now.

Thinking about it, Gongsun Xi looked at the military camp that had just been built into a silhouette, and immediately ordered: "Order, the army retreats, and temporarily avoid the edge." ”

"No."
