The 70,000 Qin troops followed Liu Wei and marched towards Shouchun City with neat steps.

"Your Highness!" Just as the army was advancing, a shout was heard in the distance.

Hearing the shout, Liu Wei and Lu Bu and Tai Shici behind him all turned their heads and looked in the direction where the shouting came.

What appeared in their field of vision was a Yulin Wei who was galloping towards the army on horseback.

While holding the horse's belly with his legs, Yu Linwei shouted to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, Mr. Chen Gong has something important to present to His Highness!" ”

Hearing Yu Linwei's shout, Liu Wei walked to the side, reined in his horse and looked at the Yulin guard from a distance.

When they arrived at a place only twenty or thirty steps away from Liu Bian, the Yulin guards turned over and jumped off their horses, ran quickly to Liu Bian, half-knelt on the ground and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, Mr. Chen Gong thinks that the reason why Yuan Shu has included all the Huainan Army in the city is because the Huainan Army has already made arrangements in the past few months!" Maybe there will be an exit in the mountains of Xiangling! ”

Hearing Yu Linwei's report, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Lu Bu and Tai Shici, who had stopped with him.

Lu Bu and Tai Shici were also stunned, looking at that Yu Lin Wei, they wanted to ask something, but because Liu Wei was present, it was difficult to ask.

Knowing that the two of them had doubts in their hearts, Liu Wei frowned, and said to the Yulin guard: "This evening, our army will be stationed in Dongjindu, you lead a team of soldiers back to General Gao Shun, please come to the public platform to meet the king."

"No!" After getting Liu Wei's order, that Yu Linwei hurriedly responded and stood up.

When Yu Linwei stood up, Liu Wei waved at the army and shouted to Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, you immediately lead five hundred soldiers to pick up the public platform to meet this king!" ”

"Order!" After receiving Liu Wei's orders, Zhou Cang hurriedly responded, led five hundred soldiers, followed Na Yu Lin Wei, and rode his horse in the direction of Gaoshun's military camp.

Dongjindu, located nine miles north of Shouchun.

The small river in the territory is vertical and horizontal, and the left and right sides are the Xiangling Mountains, and there is only a small road in the middle, which leads directly to Shouchun.

The reason why this place was chosen to be stationed here is because to the east, it is a flat field, if the Huainan army really goes out of the city to fight with the Qin army, there is only one road to the west, which can lead to the Qin army camp.

Stationed here, as long as the defense was deployed on the west side, it would be difficult for the Huainan army to launch a sneak attack on the Qin army.

Zhou Cang led 500 soldiers and followed Yu Linwei to Gao Shun's military camp, while Liu Wei led Lu Bu and Tai Shici to lead the army to continue to advance in the direction of Shouchun.

"Your Highness, doesn't you also think that what the public platform says is true?" Following behind Liu Bian, Lu Bu whispered to Liu Biao with some doubts.

While riding forward, Liu Wei nodded and said to Lu Bu: "This king intends to crusade against Huainan for several months, and for such a long time, it is not indispensable for Yuan Shu to dig out a secret passage in Huainan City!" ”

From Liu Wei's words, it was clear that he believed in Chen Gong's statement, and Lu Bu didn't say anything more, but his eyes narrowed slightly, looked ahead, and sighed lightly.

Hearing Lu Bu sigh lightly, Liu Wei turned his head to look at him and asked him, "Why did Feng Xian sigh?" ”

"Your Highness!" Liu Wei asked him why he sighed, and Lu Bu said to him: "The last general just feels that this crusade against Huainan is really a bit unlucky. ”

"But because you can't find the main force of the Huainan Army to fight, you are bored?" Looking at Lu Bu, Liu Wei smiled slightly and asked him a question.

Lu Bu nodded, didn't say anything more, just sighed softly again.

"Leading the army to fight, the most taboo general is anxious!" Seeing that Lu Bu was full of boredom, Liu Wei said to him: "Only when you are calm and calm can you win the battlefield!" Feng Xian is anxious to make meritorious service, and this king also knows. But you should remember one sentence first, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it! ”

When Liu Wei said these words to him, Lu Bu nodded, although his face was still a little dark, but it was much better than before.

After crossing the Huai River, advancing to Dongjindu, the distance is not very far.

Although the speed of the infantry was much slower, when the sky had just darkened and the sun had not completely set below the horizon, Liu Wei had already led 70,000 Qin troops to Dongjindu.

Clothed in the slanting sun, the soldiers of the Qin army set up camp tents in the wilderness of Dongjindu.

Standing in the barracks that the soldiers were building, looking in the direction of Shouchun, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly.

On both sides of the road is the Xiangling Tomb, and the verdant greenery of the mountains is very easy to make people feel a sense of peace and tranquility.

But Liu Bian, who was standing in the barracks, listened to the "rustling" sound of the wind sweeping over the grass and trees on the hillsides on both sides, but Liu Bian's heart was not so peaceful.

Chen Gong's idea is not unreasonable, Yuan Shu will shrink all the Huainan army into Shouchun City, if there is really no follow-up, it will be self-defeating.

No matter how brainless Yuan Shu is, he is also a heroic man after all, and he should not be stupid enough to be in this situation.

"Your Highness!" Just as he was looking in the direction of Shouchun City, thinking about the possibility of Chen Gong's conjecture, a voice came from behind Liu Wei.

Hearing this voice, Liu Wei turned around and smiled at the person who was walking towards him and said, "The public platform came so quickly, this king thought that the public platform would arrive late at night!" ”

"General Zhou almost tied his subordinates here!" Holding his fists and bowing to Liu Wei, Chen Gong said with a smile: "Your Majesty really doesn't dare to slack off, and you will hurry all the way to arrive before dark." ”

Listening to Chen Gong's words, Liu Wei smiled, pretended to glare at Zhou Cang, who was following behind him, and said: "General Zhou is also a good person who doesn't know anything, and Gongtai is a person of literary quality, how can he be compared with a general?" This bumpy road, if the public platform is reversed, where can the general afford it? ”

After being reprimanded by Liu Wei, Zhou Cangyi grinned, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said, "Back to His Royal Highness, how dare the last general urge Mr.?" The last general had just arrived at the place, and the gentleman knew that His Highness had called, and he didn't even allow the last general to drink, so he rode on his horse and rushed all the way over! The end will be really wronged! ”

Zhou Cang also complained to Liu Bian, who turned his head to look at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, General Zhou doesn't admit to urging you!" The matter between the two of you, this king will not be able to decide! ”

After laughing with Chen Gong, Liu Wei pointed to the Xiangling on both sides and asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai asked this king earlier that Yuan Shu might open a tunnel in the area of Xiangling and attack our army from behind. I don't know what the public station thinks, how likely is this matter? ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Liu Wei mentioned the matter, and Chen Gong hurriedly clasped his fists and said to him: "From the perspective of your subordinates, this matter is at least eighty or ninety percent. ”

"Why?" Tilting his head to look at Chen Gong, Liu Wei asked him with a puzzled expression.

"Your Highness, please look!" Raising his hand and pointing to the side of the Xiangling, Chen Gong said to Liu Wei: "Although the mountains and rivers are connected, the mountains are not steep, and the mountains are lush with vegetation, even if a large army hides in them, it is difficult to find them. ”

"It's not easy to dig tunnels!" Following the direction of Chen Gong's finger, Liu Wei looked at Xiangling, frowned slightly, and said to Chen Gong: "Especially from Shouchun to open the passage into Xiangling, the project is huge, and it is definitely difficult to hide people......'s eyes and ears."

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, Chen Gong said to him: "If when Yuan Shu excavated the tunnel, he circled a house in Shouchun City, and then let the craftsmen dig in the house, how would outsiders know? ”

When Chen Gong said this, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he groaned for a moment before asking him: "If our army does not surround Shouchun, Yuan Shu will occupy more of the initiative." The soldiers and horses in the city can come out at any time, and there will be strange soldiers outside the city to attack from behind our army. If this continues, our army will be passive......"

"If Yuan Shu really digs a tunnel in the city, it will indeed cause trouble to our army!" Smiling slightly, Chen Gong said to Liu Wei: "But Yuan Shu has forgotten another layer of more important things!" ”

"Oh?" Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked him, "What did Yuan Shu forget?" ”

"When a large army fights, it is most taboo to divide troops to resist the enemy!" Holding his fists and bowing, he bowed deeply to Liu Bian, and Chen Gong said to Liu Bian: "If the Huainan army comes out from the Tomb, there are not many soldiers and horses, and our army should be able to defeat it in one fell swoop!" What His Highness should be wary of is just that the Huainan army in the city will take advantage of the situation to rush out! ”

Listening to what Chen Gong said, Liu Wei nodded, and waited until he finished speaking, and then asked Chen Gong: "Does the public station have a plan?" ”

"The Lord controls it with wonder, and the Strange controls it with the Lord!" Putting down his fist-clasping hands, Chen Gong looked up at Liu Wei and said these ten words.

Liu Wei tilted his head slightly, unable to understand what Chen Gong meant in his words for a while, and asked him: "What does the public station mean?" ”

"10,000 cavalry, more than 100,000 Huainan troops in the city! 60,000 infantry, the enemy from the Lingling! Looking at Liu Wei, Chen Gong smiled slightly and said: "If the Huainan army really comes from Xiangling, the main force of our army should turn its back to meet the enemy!" The Huainan army in the city resolutely responded with a strategy, and our cavalry attacked it on both flanks! In this way, the enemy can be broken! ”

After staring at Chen Gong for a long time, a smile appeared on Liu Bian's face, and he said to Chen Gong: "This king has won the public platform, and it is really like a rib with wings, let me ask Yuan Shu, although he is sitting on the rich land of Huainan, how can he resist my Great Qin Xiongshi?" ”

"Yulin, Tiger Ben and the two guards, crusade against the surrounding area, and besiege Shouchun with the main force." Facing Liu Wei, Chen Gong lowered his head slightly and said: "With such a deployment, Yuan Shu will shrink the soldiers and horses into the city, which is a dead move!" Our army only needs to advance and retreat to a certain extent, and within three months, Huainan will be broken! ”

Chen Gong's words were categorical, and Liu Wei gradually smiled on his face, looking at Shouchun City, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said to the soldiers not far behind him: "Go and invite Lu Wenhou to this king's tent, this king has something to say to him!" ”

After receiving Liu Bian's order, the soldiers responded with their fists in a fist, retreated two steps back, and then turned around to convey Liu Bian's summons to Lu Bu.

After the soldiers left, Liu Wei and Chen Gong stood one after the other, looking in the direction of Shouchun City in the west, and the look of anticipation in their eyes became more and more intense.
