Chapter 2013: Yue Han Joins Forces

Three days later, the spies who went upstream to investigate finally returned and reported to Liu Ji and Liu Xiu what they had gained along the way.

"My lord, I waited all the way upstream along the Han River. On the way, I was intercepted and killed by the Qin army five times. When I went there, only four of the [-] scouts came back. I still didn't find any trace of water storage. .”

"No? Why not?"

Liu Ji frowned, he wasn't looking for the casualties of the cavalry, he only cared about whether the information sent was accurate, so he asked, "Is it because you didn't check far enough?"

The returning Tanqi replied: "My lord, I will go west to explore more than a hundred miles. If Yue Fei really wants to implement the plan of flooding, it is impossible to store water a hundred miles away."

Hearing this, Liu Ji nodded. After all, water attack has a distance limit, a distance of tens of miles is far enough, and storing water hundreds of miles away obviously cannot achieve the effect of water attack.

"Then what is the intention of Yue Fei stationing troops by the Han River? Is it possible to really fight to the death?" Liu Ji asked with a puzzled expression.

Liu Xiu also had the same doubts on his face. He originally thought that Yue Fei wanted to attack with water, but the facts proved that this idea was wrong. So what exactly did Yue Fei want to do?He was also a little confused.

Chen Ping looked thoughtful. He seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't be sure, so he didn't speak out.

Although the plan of flooding was ruled out, Liu Ji still didn't know Yue Fei's purpose, so he didn't dare to launch a decisive battle easily, so he sent people to investigate everywhere, trying to find out the purpose of Yue Fei and Chen Bing Hanshui.

On the south bank of the Han River, the Qin army camp.

Qin Yong asked: "Governor, are we just stationing troops on the south bank of the Han River without any preparation? If Liu Ji and Liu Xiu lead the army to fight over, wouldn't it be completely over?"

After Yue Fei and Lin Xiangru smiled at each other, they explained: "Liu Ji and Liu Xiu are suspicious people. Our army is stationed in the south of Hanshui so unprepared. They will definitely think that this is a strategy to lure the enemy, and they will even suspect Our army will adopt a water attack strategy, and will not act rashly until it is confirmed."

In fact, Yue Fei didn't think about the plan of water attack, but with Chen Ping by Liu Ji's side for a day, it would be difficult for Liu Ji to be counted in by any scheme, so he had long since given up his schemes and tricks, and prepared to defeat the Shu-Chu coalition forces in a dignified manner. .

"But Dudu, it's been three days, and Liu Ji must have figured out the truth, isn't it too dangerous for us to stay here?" Pei Yuanqing said with an uneasy expression.

"What General Pei said makes sense."

Yue Fei smiled indifferently, and ordered: "Send the order, the whole army will withdraw to Xiangyang."

"promise."

--------

"Report... to my lord, the Qin army has withdrawn."

"what?"

Liu Ji and Liu Xiu were startled, but Chen Ping's eyes flashed a stern look, and then he said with a wry smile: "It's not easy to fall into the trap. We fell into Yue Fei's trick.

Yue Fei didn't intend to attack with water at all, and he didn't have any other arrangements in Hanshui. He deliberately made this posture, just to make our army think that he had a conspiracy and delay time. "

"Damn."

Liu Ji clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I really underestimated him, Yue Pengju. What should the military advisor do now?"

"Chase."

Chen Ping's eyes flashed brightly: "As far as the distance is concerned, I can still catch up."

"it is good."

The 18 troops directly pulled out of the camp, closely following the pace of the Qin army, and launched a pursuit again, but after [-] miles outside the city of Xiangyang, an astonishing change occurred.

"Reporting to my lord, the Qin army stopped withdrawing and instead listened and lined up to prepare for the battle."

"My lord, something is wrong. Qin's [-] reinforcements from Hebei have arrived in Xiangyang, and the leading general is Han Xin, a famous general from Hebei."

The people who had stopped suddenly at Qin Jun, but rushed to the crowd who were extremely puzzled, suddenly realized when they heard the news.

No wonder Qin Junhui stopped suddenly. It turned out that it was time for reinforcements to arrive.

If a decisive battle is launched at this time, one hundred thousand reinforcements from the Qin army will arrive and join the battle halfway through the battle, and the pursuit battle will turn into a field battle, which is completely different from the plan before sending troops.

Liu Ji couldn't accept the fact that the duck was flying, and asked angrily, "How did the Qin army's reinforcements come so quickly? Didn't it say that it would take ten days at the earliest?"

Gao Yao said with a wry smile: "The Qin army has always been famous for its fast marching. Now that Jingbei is at stake, Han Xin must have not dared to slack off at all, so he arrived in Xiangyang a few days earlier."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent, and now the coalition forces have entered a dilemma.

Let's go to war, I am worried that Han Xin's [-] troops will join the battle, and the situation will be out of control by then.

Don't start the war, let the [-] elite Qin troops leave, and everyone in Shu and Chu will feel unwilling.

"Let Xia Houying and Xing Tian bring back [-] cavalry, so as not to be surrounded by Yue Fei and Han Xin, and the decisive battle will require the power of cavalry." Liu Xiu sighed softly.

Liu Ji also sighed and nodded.

Things have come to this point, it is impossible to retreat without a fight, but even if there is a frontal battle, 20 to 17, the chances of winning the coalition are not low.

Xia Houying and Xing Tian, ​​who were ordered to copy Yue Fei's rear, lived between Yue Fei's army and Xiangyang City after bypassing the rear of Yue Fei's army.

Although Xia Houying and Xing Tian were extremely puzzled, they did not dare to disobey their orders. They could only honestly lead 18 cavalry back and join Liu Ji and Liu Xiu's [-] troops to prepare for the final decisive battle.

Not long after Xia Houying's cavalry came back, Liu Ji and Liu Xiu received a piece of news that made them furious. They were deceived by Yue Fei again. It was not the Hebei reinforcements who arrived in Xiangyang, but Qin Qiong's army from Xinye.

Yue Fei ordered Qin Qiong to lead 5000 troops disguised as Han Xin's [-] reinforcements, while Qin Qiong divided the [-] troops into four divisions, each with [-] soldiers, and passed through Xiangyang repeatedly. Arrived.

"Yue Fei, you bullied me too much."

Liu Ji shouted angrily, the murderous look in his eyes hardly concealed.

This is not the first time, Yue Fei has lied to him twice with falsehoods.

Liu Xiu's complexion also became a little ugly, he thought that Yue Fei was better at fighting, but he didn't want to be so good at strategy, and played with them all.

It's too late to regret now, the ten days have passed, the real Han Xin army has arrived in Xiangyang, and is on the way to join Yue Fei, the great opportunity was just missed.

On the other side, after Han Xin arrived in Xiangyang, he led the army southward without stopping, and came to join Yue Fei at the fastest speed.

After Yue Fei learned about it, he led his troops away from the camp for ten miles to meet Han Xin and the reinforcements from Hetao, Hebei.

"Governor, the reinforcements are here." Yue Yun said excitedly.

Hearing this, Yue Fei looked intently into the distance, only to see billowing smoke and dust in front of him, which was obviously a sign of the arrival of a large group of cavalry.

"It's Zilong." Qin Yong said with a smile.

"There is also General Han Xin, who met once when he was begging for Dong, but now he is a minister in the same palace." Pei Yuanqing also laughed.

Han Xin, who led the cavalry with Zhao Yun, saw that Yue Fei had brought so many people to greet him, and he didn't dare to trust him in such a big battle.

Yue Fei quickly stepped forward and grabbed Han Xin's hand, saying: "No need for Dolly, General Han, it's not too late, not too late at all."

Han Xin also held Yue Fei's hand, and said with a smile: "Han Xin was ordered by General Li Jing to lead [-] Hebei troops and [-] Hetao troops, a total of ten major armies to support Jingbei. Now all the [-] troops have arrived and are at the disposal of the governor. "

"Okay, with this [-] troops here, the Shu-Chu Allied Forces will be defeated." Yue Fei laughed.
