Gao Yuan immediately found Xiang Dong and Kuang Zhang, and told the two of them about the current situation of Wei State.

After hearing this, the two of them were also taken aback, and they didn't expect that the situation in Wei had fallen to this point, and Gao Yuan said: "Now that Wei has agreed to our request, I don't think we can delay for a moment, and we will send troops tomorrow and enter Wei immediately." ”

Kuang Zhang also said: "I think it should be so." ”

Xiang Dong said: "Leaving early in the morning, is it too hasty, our Chu army is afraid that it will not be able to prepare." I think it's better to send some men and horses into Wei first, and then the rest of the men and horses will arrive. ”

Gao Yuan also nodded, what Xiang Dong said is not unreasonable, his army is strictly trained and can be pulled out at any time, but he can't use his own standards to ask the Chu army, so it is also very reasonable for the Chu army to send some men and horses into the Wei State first, so he said: "Okay, I will also leave some people and horses, Doctor Xiang, early tomorrow morning, how many troops can the Chu army dispatch, but my army is an all-cavalry army, so it is best for the Chu army to send chariots or cavalry." ”

Xiang Dong thought for a while before he said: "Our Chu army has brought a total of 300 chariots this time, but there are only 1,000 cavalry, I can dispatch all the cavalry, 200 war horses, plus 800 infantry, I will send Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo to lead the team and go with Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Okay, tomorrow morning, we will set off." You go back and prepare to go immediately, it is estimated that it will rain tomorrow, so pay attention to let the soldiers prepare their robes, and the other teams must set off the day after tomorrow, I will leave General Yuan Xuan and set off with you. ”

Xiang Dong and Kuang Zhang immediately resigned to Gao Yuan and turned back to prepare. And Gao Yuan gave an order to meet Wei Zeng.

After Wei Zengjin saw this, he immediately fell to the ground, cried loudly, and begged Gao Yuan to send troops to rescue Wei, and at the same time took out the edict of Wei Wangfake, indicating that Wei Wangfake had officially ordered Gao Yuan to wear the seal of Wei and take charge of Wei's military power.

Gao Yuan said: "An Chengjun is relieved, I will send troops early tomorrow morning, and I will never let the Qin army break through the beam." ”

When Wei Zeng heard this, he was relieved, and hurriedly thanked Gao Yuan again and again.

Gao Yuan said again: "Anchengjun, it's not that I covet power, I must be in charge of the military power of Wei, but now that the Qin army is strong, we are weak and strong, and we must lead the unification, so only by unifying the command of all armies can we resist the Qin army." On the side of King Wei, please do a lot of tricks. ”

Wei Zeng hurriedly said: "There, there, Wu Anjun can be the minister of my Wei State, it is really a great blessing for Wei State." He will definitely advise the king and the ministers of Wei to obey Wu Anjun's orders and resist the Qin army together. ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "An Chengjun, we are also old friends, there is no need to say such clichés, I am not from your Wei State, and I will not serve as the Xiangguo of Wei for a long time, so although you can sue the King of Wei and let him rest assured, as long as Qin retreats, I will immediately return Xiangyin and return to Daijun, and the Xiangguo of Wei will still be done by you Wei people." ”

Wei Zeng had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Wu Anjun is still so sharp." But why didn't Wu Anjun go and explain to my king himself, and he must convey it below? ”

Gao Yuan said: "It's not that I don't want to see the King of Wei, but because I first have to rush to Xingkou to resist the attack of the Qin army." For the time being, I didn't care about going up to see the King of Wei, and after the situation in Xingkou stabilized, I went to Daliang to see the King of Wei. ”

Wei Zheng also felt inexplicable, and said: "Xingkou is just a place of projectiles, it doesn't matter, why did Wu Anjun go to Xingkou to resist the Qin army, and ignore the beam, if the beam has a mistake, isn't it because of a small loss?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "The Qin army broke through more than 100 miles lightly, there will never be many troops, and it will not bring large siege equipment, and the high walls of Daliang City are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now there are 100,000 troops stationed in the city, the Qin army will never dare to attack Daliang City, and although Xingkou is small, it is the entrance of the chasm connecting the Yellow River, once the Qin army captures Xingkou, it can dig the chasm and lead the water of the Yellow River to attack and irrigate Daliang, so the Qin army must not be allowed to occupy Xingkou." ”

Wei Zeng was stunned for a moment, he was skeptical about what Gao Yuan said about diverting the water of the Yellow River to attack Daliang, but Gao Yuan said that the Qin army would not attack Daliang was convinced, but Gao Yuan stationed in Xingkou was also in the interests of Wei, so he said: "Okay, then I will reply to the king for Wu Anjun in the future." ”

Gao Yuan said again: "But Anchengjun, you can't return to Great Wei immediately, but you have to go to Xingkou with me first, otherwise there is no Wei State official, how can the defenders of Xingkou receive me?" ”

Wei Zeng was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "What Wu Anjun said is that let's go to Xingkou with Wu Anjun first." ”

The next day, the rain still did not stop, but Gao Yuan led two armies, the Fan Yong Army and the Beiwei Army, and 500 scouts, and 200 chariots, together with the 1,000 cavalry of the Chu army, 200 chariots, set out from Taoyi and entered the territory of Wei. Yuan Xuan, Changjiejun and the other auxiliary armies were left in Taoyi and then marched, while Yun Yao and Jian Wuji also stayed behind and set off with Yuan Xuan.

After the departure of the army, the rain was heavy for a while, light for a while, intermittent, although it was not very large, but it also brought a lot of trouble to the march, and the road was muddy, although the two armies were either cavalry or chariots, and the infantry of the Chu army also marched on chariots, but it was still very difficult to walk. And the rainproof performance of the coat hat in this era is not so good, it can be done for a short time, and after a long time, the body is still wet, although it is now the second half of the fifth year, the weather is hot, but the rain is always poured, and the cool breeze is together, and it still feels very cold.

The men and horses walked for more than three hours in one breath, walked for about 150 miles, and finally waited until the rain stopped, and then the plateau gave the order, the whole army rested for half an hour, ate a little dry food, and then continued to hurry.

Although the rain had stopped, there was water everywhere, so it was impossible to make a fire, so you had to eat cold food, and the sky was still cloudy, and it seemed that it could rain again at any time. Xiang Liang came to the plateau and said, "Wu Anjun, it looks like it's going to rain again, and the road is too difficult to walk, I think it's better to find a place to camp and rest, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving." ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "When this rain is at the extreme, we are in difficulty, and the Qin army is also difficult, so this is a good time for us to rush ahead of the Qin army and rush to Xingkou, so after resting, we will set off immediately, let the soldiers hold on, and rush to Xingkou today for the night, and we can sleep well." ”

Xiang Liang was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Wu Anjun, it's not that I don't want to hurry, but the soldiers of our Chu army are already very tired, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to march today." ”

In fact, along the way, the Chu army was full of complaints, one by one, and they all endured hardships, of course Gao Yuan heard it, but he didn't care about the affairs of the Chu army, he just urged the Dai army to hurry up, anyway, he dragged the Chu army away.

If it was on other occasions, the Chu army would have stopped doing it a long time ago, but seeing that the soldiers of the Dai army had no complaints in the rain, they were hurrying with their heads bored, and their faces were normal, and they didn't seem to feel bitter at all, and the Chu army was more or less unable to pull down his face. It's the same army, others can rush in the rain, but why can't they themselves? So I had to grit my teeth and endure it.

And when it was time to rest, the soldiers of the Chu army finally couldn't help it, and complained to Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo brothers one after another, saying that they couldn't walk anymore and had to rest. Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo brothers saw that it was difficult to disobey the public, so they had to ask Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan sighed in his heart, although this Chu army seems to be quite brave and good at fighting, it is obviously not a good fighting army. Because it can be seen from the march that they can't even endure such a little hardship, how to deal with a difficult situation on the battlefield, so the Chu army can only fight a tailwind battle, but not a headwind battle. And a truly warlike army must not only be able to fight a warlike war, but also be good at fighting in adversity. It seems that this time to rescue the Wei State, we can't expect too much from the Chu army, and we mainly have to rely on ourselves.

However, the Chu army is not an army on the plateau, and it cannot be forced to let them rush in the rain, so he said: "General Xiang, if the Chu army can't hurry, then you can find a place to rest here, and when the time comes, I will lead the Dai army to continue on the road and set off, and you will then rush to Xingkou." ”

Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo glanced at each other, all showed a look of shame, and felt very ashamed, although both of them are not very old, but they were born in a family of generals, and they are brave and brave, this time they sent troops to aid Wei, and they brought the elite soldiers of the Xiang family, and they all saved up a breath of air, and they wanted to fight with the Qin army, and promote the military prestige of the Chu army, and in the past two years, the Dai army defeated the Yan army, broke the Xiongnu, attacked Yinshan, and the prestige was close to the Qin army, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo brothers were quite unconvinced, and they also wanted to compare with the Dai army.

As a result, before the war with the Qin army began, just during the march, they saw the gap between the Chu army and the Dai army, and the brothers Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo understood a little that fighting a war was not as simple as they imagined. But they had no other way at this time, the soldiers did not want to go, and they could not force them, otherwise it would provoke a mutiny, which would not be good. Therefore, Xiang Liang also nodded and said, "Then so be it, please Wu Anjun take the first step, and we will do our best to follow." ”

After they left the plateau and returned to the Chu army's station, Jiang Huanwu said: "It's just such a little rain, and you can't walk, so what if it rains heavily and snows." It seems that the Chu army is unreliable. ”

Gao Yuan said: "We can't hope to pin on others, mainly rely on ourselves, when the time to rest is up, we will set off immediately, and we must rush to Xingkou today." ”
