After listening to the officer's report, Deng Zhan frowned slightly, as if he was pondering something.

"General, since you know that this secret passage leads to Shouchun......" Deng Zhan frowned and was pondering something, and Huang Sheng on the side whispered: "I can't wait to quietly enter Shouchun and put it on seventy or eighty fires, so that Yuan Shu can burn his buttocks!" ”

"Huh!" As soon as Huang Sheng's words fell, Deng Zhan smiled and nodded his finger at him and said, "You, you just want to go into the city and set fire to it, have you ever thought about what if there is a mechanism in the secret passage?" ”

"The secret passage is to transport the army, how can there be a mechanism?" Deng Zhan mentioned that there might be a mechanism in the secret passage, Huang Sheng shook his head and said: "If there really is, if the Huainan Army passes, it must also be a trap." When we enter the dark passage, all we need to pay attention to is the eyeliner laid by the Huainan army. ”

"General Ben didn't expect this." After listening to what Huang Sheng said, Deng Zhan raised his head slightly, and asked Huang Sheng in a low voice: "Without the order of His Royal Highness, we will wait for the leader to enter the secret passage, in case ......"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" Without waiting for Deng Zhan to finish speaking, Huang Sheng interrupted him and said to him: "If the general hesitates any longer, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Wait!" Knowing that Huang Sheng was going to say that any more delay would delay the fighter, Deng Zhan still waved his hand and did not give the order to enter the dark passage immediately.

At the same time that Deng Zhan was thinking about whether to enter the secret passage, in the palace hall in Shouchun City, Yuan Shu sat on the throne, his brows tightly twisted, and a pair of eyes stared at Ji Ling, who was standing in the hall.

"How did you get it back?" Staring at Ji Ling, Yuan Shu asked him in a long tone, "Do you remember what you said to me a few days ago?" ”

Bowing down, Ji Ling first replied to Yuan Shu with a trembling voice, and then raised his head and said to Yuan Shu: "But ......"

"But you quit after all!" Without waiting for Ji Ling to finish speaking, Yuan Shu frowned tightly and said to him coldly: "Repeatedly retreating from the battle, your head ......"

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Shu's words had already revealed the intention of cutting off his head, and Ji Ling was very aggrieved and defended himself: "Flames fell above the ravine, and none of the soldiers of our army ambushed in the ditch survived, if the last general did not retreat, I am afraid it would be difficult to kill ......."

"The secret passages lead in all directions, is there only one exit?" It's okay if Ji Ling doesn't defend himself, this defense, Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly widened, glared at him, and asked coldly.

Forced to ask by Yuan Shu, Ji Ling lowered his head again and did not dare to say anything.

There is indeed more than one exit from this dark passage, but except for the wide exit of Rushan, the other exits are in the lush grass and trees, and it is okay for a small force to sneak out secretly, if the army quietly goes out of those dark passages, it will take a long time.

The Qin army already knew that there was a secret passage to the outside world in Shouchun City, and no matter whether they strengthened their patrol around the Xiangling Mountains, Ji Ling did not dare to risk leading the army to sneak out of Shouchun through other exits.

If these words were said to the generals who led the army to fight all the year round, they might still be able to get a response, but if they were said to Yuan Shu, it would be like playing the piano to the cow.

At the moment, Yuan Shu was just thinking about fighting against the water and defeating the Qin army outside the city, and whatever he told him was all shirk and excuse in his opinion.

Zhang Xun and Liu Xun were lost one after another, and Yuan Shu was now available without a commander.

Looking at Ji Ling standing in front of him, Yuan Shu was itching with hatred, and he had the intention to kill Ji Ling, but once Ji Ling was killed, the Huainan Army would have no available generals, and half of the war would be lost.

"You tell me what to do to retreat the Qin army!" Looking at Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's brows were tightly locked, and he asked him.

When Yuan Shu asked this sentence, Ji Ling's heart suddenly widened, knowing if he would be cut off by Yuan Shu for a while, and said to Yuan Shu with his fists: "The Qin army already knows that our army has carved out a secret passage, and the only feasible plan at the moment is not to send soldiers and horses to kill from the secret passage, but to kill from the city!" ”

"Kill from the city?" Ji Ling's words made Yuan Shu feel very puzzled, he frowned, stared at Ji Ling and asked, "How to kill from the city?" ”

"Close the secret passage, tie some Cao Ren, and let the soldiers send the straw man to the city with ropes at night!" Holding his fists and bowing, Ji Ling said to Yuan Shu: "The sky is dark, and when the Qin army sees someone climbing down from the city, he will definitely shoot arrows." In this way, after seven or eight days, the Qin army will definitely know that there is a deception, and when they no longer fire arrows, our army will go out of the city again and break the Qin army in one fell swoop! ”

After listening to Ji Ling's strategy, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he slapped the table in front of him and said to Ji Ling: "Good plan, just why do you want to close the secret passage?" ”

"At present, although the villages outside the city can supply grain and grass to the city, once the King of Qin knows about it, he will definitely make a hindrance from it!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Ji Ling said to Yuan Shu: "The cut off of grain and grass is only a matter of one or two days, and Your Majesty doesn't need to think about getting grain and grass from outside the city at all, and then support it for some more time." The only hope of our army is to defeat the Qin army! ”

Ji Ling's words were reasonable, and Yuan Shu couldn't help nodding when he heard it.

He was silent for a moment before shouting outside, "Someone!" ”

The guards guarding outside the hall heard Yuan Shu's shout, strode into the hall, and bowed down with fists in waiting for Yuan Shu to give his will.

"Immediately pass the decree and seal the secret passage!" Looking at the guards standing at the main gate of the main hall, Yuan Shu said to him: "In addition, there are more than 1,000 straw men and handed them over to General Ji for use!" ”

"No!" The guard answered and exited the main hall.

When the guards withdrew from the palace, Ji Ling bowed to Yuan Shu with his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise, in this way, within ten days, the Qin army will be broken!" ”

Nodding towards Ji Ling, Yuan Shu stood up, walked to the door of the main hall with his hands behind his back.

Standing behind the steps at the entrance of the main hall, Yuan Shu said to Ji Ling: "My Huainan army has always been known for being able to fight well, and I fought with the Qin army earlier, and the soldiers only knew that if it is strong, the Qin army is afraid that it will not lose to our army!" ”

Turning around and standing with Yuan Shu's back in front of him, listening to what Yuan Shu said, Ji Ling also thought it was true.

Having personally fought with the Qin army, Ji Ling saw with his own eyes the completely lifeless fighting style of the Qin army's soldiers when they charged.

Especially Tai Shi Ci's pursuit of him all the way, it made Ji Ling feel shocking when he thought about it now.

"General Ji!" Standing with his back to Ji Ling, Yuan Shu was silent for a while before he continued: "You have retreated from the battle twice, it's not that I can't kill you, it's just that I have been tolerant many times because you have made meritorious contributions to me, and I hope that the general will not have a third time!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" From Yuan Shu's tone, Ji Ling heard that if he retreated for the third time, he would definitely be cut off by Yuan Shu, so he hurriedly bowed down and responded: "If the last general fights again, if he doesn't break the Qin army, he will not retreat!" ”

Yuan Shu didn't look back, just looked out of the main hall, and there was a faint trace of worry in his eyes.

In Shouchun City, the Huainan Army carried soil and stones to block the cave, and at the entrance of a village outside Shouchun City, Liu Wei, who was riding on horseback, was full of depression at this time.

The villagers in the village all carried farm tools and posed to fight, and the villagers from another village who followed Liu Wei and the others here were arguing with them bitterly.

"Sixth uncle, what are you doing?" A villager who accompanied Liu Wei and others to this village said to an old man who led people to block the entrance of the village: "The king is here, and he wants to divide the land among us, and we will have a good life in the future. ”

The old man who led the people at the entrance of the village listened to what the young villagers said, and snorted coldly and said, "Dog, what you kid said is light. There are few people in your village who have gone to serve as soldiers, and even if there are some, they have already died and are disabled, but there are still many descendants in our village who are born in the Huainan army. If you don't send them food, will you see them starving to death? ”

Standing at the entrance of the village, listening to what the old man said, Liu Wei's brows tightened.

The old man's words suddenly reminded him of one thing, now that he is leading the army to Huainan, there must be many people in Huainan who have joined the army.

There is still some involvement between the army and the people.

"Little Four!" Staring at the group of villagers blocking the entrance of the village, Liu Wei whispered to Xiao Si who was following him.

Hearing Liu Wei call him, Xiao Si hurriedly stepped forward, rode on horseback, hugged his fists and bowed down to wait for Liu Bian's orders.

"Can anyone from your village join the Huainan Army?" As soon as Xiao Si stepped forward, Liu Wei asked him.

"Back to Your Highness, there are some, but it's just ......" Liu Wei asked Xiao Si if there was anyone in their village to join the Huainan Army, Xiao Si hurriedly replied: "It's just that the villagers haven't seen them for a long time, a few days ago, the Huainan Army ransacked the village, and annoyed the villagers, who can think of that layer of relationship!" ”

After listening to Xiao Si's explanation, Liu Wei suddenly understood that in the entire Huainan, I am afraid that there are people in the Huainan army in all villages.

Just when he was thinking about how to persuade the village he was going to later, he only heard the man named Gouwa, who came here with them, say: "Uncle Liu is not appropriate to say this, my brother is also in the Huainan Army, but Yuan Shu collects heavy taxes, but because his brother fought for him, he will be reduced by half a point?" ”

"Your village can do whatever it likes, our village will definitely not give the Huainan army no food!" The dog baby failed to convince the sixth uncle, the sixth uncle glared at him, and said angrily: "They can die on the battlefield, but we can't watch them starve to death!" ”

"Good!" As soon as the sixth uncle's words were shouted, before the dog baby could speak, Liu Wei rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, looked at the sixth uncle, and said to him in a cold tone: "Since the villagers do not hesitate to be enemies of the Great Qin army for the sake of their relatives who are soldiers in the Huainan army, you are no longer ordinary people, but enemies of Great Qin!" This king will fulfill you today. ”
