For Zhou Shi, a confidant and beloved general, Chen Shi wrote a letter to persuade him, so that he could focus on the overall situation and properly handle the matter.

For the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi, and Chu, Chen Shi reprimanded mercilessly this time.

The first sentence of Chen She's letter to the principals of the Three Kingdoms is, "Does Jun Shang remember the hatred of the country and the hatred of the family?"

Xu was stimulated by this letter, and Wuchen's "illness" was cured the next day, and he led an army of 200,000 to travel 100 miles a day to Yangzhai and successfully joined forces with Zhou City.

Soon after the arrival of Wuchen, Xiang Liang led 200,000 Chu troops, and Tian Rong led 200,000 Qi troops to Yangzhai one after another, so that a million troops gathered in one place.

When the reinforcements from the Three Kingdoms arrived, Zhou Shi could no longer hold back and ordered the whole army to march to Hangu Pass, preparing to break through.

......

Hangu Pass, under the news that Lin Ze intended to let go, almost all of the people in the pass, including ordinary soldiers, knew that the rebels were coming with millions of people.

Correspondingly, every morning, a large army leaves the customs and returns in the evening.

The atmosphere of the impending fierce battle is shrouded in this Xiongguan.

Ten days later, Lin Ze climbed the city wall, and at a glance, millions of rebels came densely and overwhelmingly.

In the whole heaven and earth, only the sound of feet stepping on the earth remained.

Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh: "There are many people, and there is nothing more than this." When an army of millions is surrounded, there is no need to gather any military strength at all, just standing there gives people a feeling of being invincible. Don't say that the Six Grades of Great Perfection, if the strong person in the Grandmaster Realm throws it in, if he doesn't escape, he can easily surround him to death. ”

The only difference is that the Grandmaster will die a little slower.

After the appearance of a million rebels, they did not rush to attack the city, but divided into a part, about 200,000 rebels, came to the gate of Hangu Pass and made a defensive posture.

The remaining rebels began to scatter, cutting down trees, setting up camps in place, and assembling siege equipment.

Lin Ze showed a smile on his face, and muttered to himself: "It turned out that he was afraid of being attacked by a sneak attack, but Zhou Shi was as cautious as ever, but he was so sure, the officials and troops were all within the pass?"

Lin Ze stood on the city wall, looked at it for a while, and then made a decision: he took 20,000 soldiers to guard the city wall, and the rest of the soldiers rushed back to the camp to rest and wait for orders.

Zhou Shi was more cautious than Lin Ze imagined this time, and when night fell, the 200,000 army returned to the newly built camp.

After nightfall, countless torches were lit within a kilometer radius of the entire rebel camp, which was as bright as day, and was used to prevent Lin Ze from sending people to steal the camp.

To this end, Zhoushi also arranged a special night patrol team to be responsible for warning.

Each night patrol team has a total of ten soldiers, wearing signal flares on their waists, armed all over, patrolling around.

And on the periphery of the entire camp, there were at least a hundred night patrols roaming.

Lin Ze watched for a while, and there was almost no chance to solve the night patrol team and secretly open the camp gate without being discovered.

As for the assault, it is even more unrealistic, the camp wall built by the rebels is not weaker than the ordinary city wall, but it is not so easy to break through.

After fully understanding the mentality of Zhou Shi this time, Lin Ze changed to Zhang Han to keep vigil and went back to his house to rest.

......

Early the next morning, Lin Ze took Li Xin to the city wall, replaced Zhang Han, who was in a strong fighting spirit, and waited for the rebels to attack.

Then, to the surprise of Lin Ze and Li Xin, Zhou did not order an attack, and the 200,000 rebels, led by a general, stood in front of the city gate as they did yesterday, while the rest of the rebels continued to build camps.

The rebels behaved like this, so that Li Xin, who had just ordered the bow [31 31xs.] to be wound, the trebuchet to be loaded, and the machine car to be prepared, felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but curse:

"Strategist, who did you say led the bullshit rebels, I am ready to attack, and the other party is actually stagnant? Can this battle be fought or not? If you don't fight, you will retreat, and it is better to wait for me to hit the door?"

Lin Ze carefully looked at the movements of the rebels, and soon noticed something unusual, pointed ahead and said, "Don't nag, take a good look, what are the rebels doing?"

Li Xin stretched out his head and looked at it, his face full of puzzlement: "Military Division, I have looked repeatedly, the rebels are all building camps, is there any difference?"

Lin Ze glared at Li Xin, and said angrily: "Look carefully, is the rebel camp expanding outward, getting closer and closer to the city wall?"

Li Xin suddenly realized: "I see. ”

Then he asked weakly: "But, what does the other party want to do?"

Lin Ze's face was calm and said: "In my opinion, the other party wants to build the camp all the way to the city wall, so as to offset the advantage of our army relying on the city wall to defend." It's just that this is not a one-time effort, and we need to be prepared for a long-term war. ”

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party wants to use this to paralyze us, let us relax our vigilance, and then seize the opportunity to capture Hangu Pass in one fell swoop. ”

After Li Xin heard this, his face was a little ugly, and his heart was even more uncomfortable as swallowing a fly: "According to the meaning of the military advisor, in a short period of time, we can only confront the rebels like this, and this battle cannot be fought?"

Lin Ze did not answer, in his opinion, Zhou Shi was very likely to think so.

......

In the rebel camp, Zhou Shi was handling military affairs in the commander's tent, and the soldiers reported in the foreign communication: "Marshal Qiyu, Zhao Wang Wuchen, Chu General Xiang Liang, and Qi Shangqing Tian Rong have come together, and they have arrived outside the camp and bluntly said that they want to meet the marshal." ”

Zhou Shi frowned slightly when he heard this, put down the paperwork in his hand, and replied, "Please let them in." ”

Soon, the military minister in a royal robe stepped into the camp tent of Zhou City, and said in a strange manner: "Zhou Dashuai is really a great opportunity, and he doesn't even have time to go out of the camp to greet distinguished guests." ”

In and out of the words, he came to visit, Zhou Shi was extremely dissatisfied with not being able to greet him, how can he say that he is also the lord of a country, he Zhou City, why is he so lazy?

Xiang Liang and Tian Rong were also a little dissatisfied with Zhou Shi's attitude, but they still remembered that everyone said that the allies were there, so they gently pulled the military minister and signaled him to be calm.

Wu Chen got the signal from the two, forcibly suppressed his breath, snorted coldly, and looked at Zhou Shi coldly.

When Zhou Shi heard Wu Chen's voice, his face immediately became gloomy.

At the beginning, Wuchen repeatedly made excuses and delayed joining the army with him, which made Zhou Shi hate it, but now in the face of Wuchen, whose surname is King Zhao, he has no good face, and replied coldly:

"What are the three soldiers who are not in the battalion leading their own soldiers to do in the camp?"

Wuchen took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "The commander of the soldiers does not bother with the commander of the Zhou Marshal, this king asks you, why only care about building a camp instead of sending troops to attack the city?"

Zhou Shi sneered: "Siege the city? Hangu Pass is the first in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops in the pass, who will attack the city?"

Wu Chen said confidently: "This time, you Zhang Chuguo is the main force, and naturally your Zhang Chu army is the main force, and my Three Kingdoms will help on the side." ”

Zhou Shi waved his hand and said: "King Zhao, don't think about it, it is impossible for Ben Shuai to let his men go to death." ”

Wu Chen was furious, pointed at Zhou Shi and said, "You ......"

Xiang Liang hurriedly stepped forward to grab the military minister, turned to Zhou Shi and said: "If Zhou Dashuai plans to build a camp like this, and doesn't want to attack the city, then the coalition army to destroy Qin is an empty word, and King Zhang Chu invited us to bring troops here, which is a lie, I have to ask if I can't say it, what does King Zhang Chu want?"

Zhou Shi glanced at Xiang Liang deeply, and snorted coldly: "It's not that Ben Shuai is unwilling to attack the city directly, but the cost of directly attacking the city is too great, Ben Shuai wants to build the camp all the way to the front of the wall of Hangu Pass, and then build a high platform to offset the opponent's geographical advantages as much as possible and fight with it." ”

"If the three do not agree with the approach of the commander, they can lead their soldiers to attack the city, if anyone can break through the Hangu Pass, the commander guarantees that the spoils of war will not be taken. ”

Wu Chen sneered and said, "If you do this, how long will this battle take?"

Zhou Shi replied coldly: "No matter how long you fight, it's better than losing the battle." ”

Wu Chen was speechless.

After a long time, Wuchen gritted his teeth and said: "This king will listen to you for the time being, for a month, if this is still the case in a month, this king will return home with a large army and will never participate in this matter again." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang and Tian Rong dropped a sentence: "Zhou Dashuai is good at doing it himself." "Leave.
