Chapter 332: Fan Li vs. Shen Baoxu
Wu Zixu, who was sitting on the main seat, held the tiger head seal in one hand and told what happened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The generals trembled when they heard this, how could things have happened like this?
A few days ago, Gongzi Yangsheng didn't report that he had won the battle and would win Baiju in two or three days.
It's only been a long time to make a big turnaround!
They didn't believe it, but Wu Zixu's heaviness and the group of civil and military forces who had been in the hall before confirmed that the news was not a joke, and now all the generals were decadent, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, so docile and desperate that they didn't want to resist at all.
Wu Zixu was furious when he saw this, and he slapped the case, and his white beard fluttered wildly:
"Bastard, you're scared?"
The generals bowed their heads and were silent when they heard this, and Wu Zixu frowned when he saw it, and said in a condensed voice:
"In the past, Gongzi Tu once said: If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first defeat yourself, but today, what Ben Shuai wants to say is that if you want to defeat the enemy and defeat yourself, you must first overcome your own fears"
"Our army is in unprecedented difficulty, but we have not lost, so we don't need any fear"
"Our Qi army has been crisscrossing the princes for thirty years, have we ever been defeated?"
"The final winner of every war is our Qi country, which has created a myth in the past history, and I firmly believe that this myth will continue"
"Thinking about the glory of our ancestors, thinking about our wives and children in our own family, have we lost the courage to fight again?"
"Commanders, Answer Me"
Wu Zixu roared, and the sword in his hand pointed fiercely at the bridge of the general's nose.
All the generals bowed their heads, although they were moved by Wu Zixu's fierce words, they knew that their feelings belonged to their feelings, but they couldn't solve the situation in front of them."
Wu Zixu seemed to see their thoughts, and he sneered:
"Ben Shuai told you that Gongzi had already expected such a thing to happen, so he sent a letter to us in Chengdu (Luoyi), although it was a little late, but the strategy he gave us told us that we still have a chance to move back, the overall situation!"
When Wu Zixu talked about the overall situation, he waved his arm upward, as if victory could really be obtained in an instant.
As soon as this situation fell, the generals were like being beaten with chicken blood: they were clear about Gongzi's ability, and Gongzi's ability in the first battle of Chu had achieved countless military impossibilities.
"Now it's okay, with Gongzi's strategy, we will definitely achieve the final victory" The generals' eyebrows fluttered, and the momentum of defeat suddenly became mighty.
Wu Zixu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and began his deployment of troops.
He divided the forces he could use into two, one elite was small in scale but the strongest in combat effectiveness, and he led and escorted Qi Jinggong north.
The other was led by Fan Li, including the defeated guard sergeants from Sishang Daying, Shucheng, Liucheng, Huangcheng and other places, and went to rescue the main force of the 200,000 Qi army that Baiju was besieged and killed.
Fan Li was ordered to be in danger, although the generals knew that he had a small title and no background, but they all knew that he had outstanding achievements and talents, and they all obeyed his orders at this critical juncture.
After the army was assembled, Fan Li used the strategy of attacking the east and the west to recapture Xiyang, and then crossed the waves three times to repel the enemy who intercepted them, and finally rescued the defeated remnants of the army in the Dabie Mountains, Yangshengguo, Xia Huazhou and other departments.
Yang Sheng has been burned by the fire and has no temper at all, he saw Fan Li come to save him, and cried on the spot, this kind of crying only appeared when he was a proton in the Jin Kingdom.
Fan Li told everything he knew about the past, and of course he didn't hide the letter sent by Lu Di thousands of miles away.
The generals present were stunned at first, and then looked at Yang Sheng, all bowed their heads and pondered, if this battle was led by Gongzi Tu, would there still be such a painful rout?
There are 200,000 elite troops, and now there are less than 100,000 capable fighters, how many good sons and daughters are buried in other places like this?
They couldn't help but cry as they thought about it.
When Yang Sheng heard that behind this rescue battle was his younger brother who couldn't destroy it, he felt as if he was cutting with a knife in his heart, but his face and mouth were moved and shouted "Brother Tu, Brother Tu......" and then cried to his heart's content.
After the Qi army in the Dabie Mountains had a big meal, they began to do the final breakthrough battle.
In this battle, Yang Sheng did not dare to command indiscriminately, and he and Guoxia handed over all the right to call the army to Fan Li.
Fan Li first pushed back, but Guoxia and Yangsheng insisted, he had no choice, and temporarily became the chief general of more than 100,000 remnants of the army, and began to deal with Shen Baoxu's encirclement and interception.
Fan Li's strategy is also simple, first set up a maze, constantly going down the mountain to break through by land, but secretly building a boat raft.
Seeing that the Qi army was making the final struggle, Shen Baoxu planned with the Qin army, preparing to increase the strength and foot defense of the mountain road.
In this way, the Qi army has been harassing the Chu-Qin coalition army, but as time went by, the number and scale of the harassment became smaller and smaller, which made Shen Baoxu gradually suspicious.
The commander of the Qin army was Zuo Shu, who had helped Chu in the past, and he was very dismissive of Shen Baoxu's suspicions, and the army trapped the Qi army on the Dabie Mountain, and they could not get food supplements, so they naturally had less and less strength to harass and raid.
Shen Baoxu thought about it and felt reasonable, so he let go of his suspicions, but one day when he took the army to inspect, he found that things were wrong, and there was no scene of a flock of birds circling in the air on Dabie Mountain for a day.
He hurriedly asked all the coalition forces to go up the mountain to attack, but no matter how much he searched the mountain, no one was found.
The commander of the Qin army was furious: "The general doesn't believe it, will the nearly 100,000 troops of the Qi army still fly?" ”
With a wave of his whip, he ordered the army to search carefully again.
The coalition army's careful search soon had results, a general led the Chu army commander Shen Baoxu and the Qin army commander to a cliff without land, when he saw a turbulent river under the cliff, Shen Baoxu's eyes widened, and then the Qin army commander found a stone inscription without land, which read: "The thieves of the Qin and Chu coalition forces, in the past, your veteran Xu Wan used the 'empty city plan' to get out, and today I Fan Li borrowed it, haha......"
Shen Baoxu was desperate after seeing the content of the inscription, and he pulled out his sword and slashed at the inscription: "Damn, I waited for Fan Li's trick, Fan Li, you traitor to Chu State, thief, I will kill you, kill you......"
No wonder Shen Baoxu was angry, as long as he wiped out the remaining 100,000 elite remnants of the Qi State in this battle, the Qi State would not be able to breathe for at least thirty years.
At that time, the state of Chu will definitely regain its hegemony with thirty years of recuperation, but now that these 100,000 remnants of the army have fled, this means that although the state of Qi was cut off a piece of flesh in this battle, it was not broken.
Do you think Shen Baoxu can not go crazy?
He's old, but not another thirty years!
