The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 488 Mantis Catching Cicadas
According to Zhang Dafu's IQ, not to mention his ability to understand the ins and outs of the matter, even if Liu Xiu sold him, he might still be able to sincerely count the money for Liu Xiu.

Seeing that it was Zhang Dafu who didn't take it too seriously, Liu Xiu said solemnly:

"This time, I'm going to secretly lead the troops southward and follow the back route of the Chu army. Remember, you must not show any flaws. During this period of time, every time our army goes out, we have erected a red flag. This is intentional. Attract the attention of Chu Junchi's scouts.

In this way, when you send troops for a walk again, the scouts of the Chu army will retreat habitually, and this general can lead the army to take Shucheng in secret. "

Zhang Dafu was very excited when he heard Liu Xiu tell him all these important things, and assured Liu Xiu with a serious face:
"Don't worry, general, the last general will definitely complete the task! Once the Chu army leads troops to attack, the last general will lure the Chu army on their backs, and confront the Chu army based on Juchao."

Liu Xiu nodded and said: "Not only must you confront the Chu army, but also you must watch the time. When Fan Zeng, the Chu army, hears that Shucheng in the south has been shot down, he will definitely withdraw his troops. At this time, it depends on whether you can catch it." Timing, follow all the way, looking for a chance to give Fan Zeng a fatal blow."

Zhang Dafu understands that this is his chance to leap onto the Dragon Gate, how can he not seize it?

"Please tell me, general, that the general's success in the end is due to the general's promotion. Even if there is a small achievement in the future, it is all due to the general."

Liu Xiu didn't want Zhang Dafu to show his center to him, but wanted to see if Zhang Dafu had the courage to lead the army alone without her presence.

After all, when he came, he could probably tell that Liu Bang didn't want to see him lead the troops to help Liu Bei at all.

Otherwise, he would not give himself the command of an army like that.

"Okay! I will be the most ambitious person among them." Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Remember, you are leading 350 troops out now, and everything will remain the same. As soon as Fan Zeng sends out troops, you will retreat, and you don't need to worry about anything else. , after you come back, wait until Fan Zeng withdraws, and you send troops immediately, this time the maximum distance is still [-] miles!
Remember, when you send troops to the south, you must pretend to be in a decisive battle with Fan Zeng, so that you can completely confuse Fan Zeng's eyes and ears, so that I can sneak attack Shucheng and cut off Fan Zeng's retreat. "

Zhang Dafu carefully wrote down every word Liu Xiu said.

On that day, Zhang Dafu led an army of [-] and frantically headed towards Liucheng.

Similarly, as soon as the army here left the city, the scouts of the Chu army began to retreat.

No matter how shrewd Fan Zeng was, it was impossible for the scouts to stay in Juchao with the determination to die.

After all, there are quite a few scouts transferred from the Han army. Once the scouts from the two armies meet, if the number of scouts is equal, life and death must be divided.

Judging military merit by head, this system is not only now, but will still be active in the army for thousands of years to come.

Not long after, Fan Zeng got a report from the scouts that the Han army from the north was coming again.

After Fan Zeng listened, he smiled disapprovingly, and still ordered the scouts to investigate and report again.

Just when Zhang Dafu had walked more than 200 miles, Liu Xiu took [-] carefully selected elites to the south in the middle of the night.

Before he set off, he promised everyone in the army that everyone who participated in this battle, regardless of whether they made contributions in the battle or not, would be promoted to a higher rank!
And once credit is made, it will be counted as double credit.

This military order, like a stimulant, was all injected into the bodies of the soldiers of the Han army.

Detour south from Juchao to Shucheng, you can make a big circle.

But wanting to avoid being discovered by the Chu army is a technical job.

Liu Xiu ordered the lieutenant soldiers to travel only at night, and to hide in the mountains and forests during the day.

If all the soldiers under his command came here to catch the strong men, naturally he couldn't do this, because if he was not careful, groups of soldiers would slip away.

But because of Liu Xiu's promise, everyone in the army is thinking that after this battle is over, everyone will be promoted to a higher rank, so although it is hard to sleep during the day and march at night, all the soldiers gritted their teeth, and there was nothing in their hearts. complain.

Liu Xiu is very satisfied with his ability to lead the army.

Just when Liu Xiu's army set off, here in Wuguan, the caravan of Sun's family in Hancheng also set out on the road.

This time, all the goods transported by the caravan were white and colorful Qin paper, which was very scarce in other vassal states except for the mainland of Qin.

After Qin State and Qin Paper appeared on the stage, another vassal state once moved their minds and wanted to go to Qin State to steal this paper-making secret technique.

It's just that they didn't expect that Fazheng was alarmed by that incident, and he directly ordered [-] troops to search.

Since then, no one in the vassal states dared to pay attention to this matter.

Just kidding, a large part of Qin's fiscal revenue is dependent on Qin paper.

Sun Hao was riding on the horseback, talking to Shen Wansan in front of him with a smile on the local conditions and customs west of Wuguan.

He still doesn't know that Shen Wansan in front of him is the current Emperor of Great Qin, Ying Fusu. He only knows that this person in front of him is a noble person who has brought him many benefits.

The last time he helped the nobleman in front of him, after returning to the family, the head of the Sun family directly announced that the next head of the family is Sun Hao.

Originally, Sun Hao thought that there would be opposition from other members of the direct line, but he didn't expect that those people just didn't have half a word.

Sun Hao secretly guessed Shen Wansan's identity in private, but finally stopped rationally.

Because he felt that the person who could change his mind at once by the patriarch of his family was definitely not someone he could provoke.

Hearing Sun Hao's words, Fu Su asked curiously: "Now is the time of war, will the Chu army in Shucheng agree with us entering the city?"

"Don't worry about that. What we are carrying now is Qin paper. Chu State is in short supply of such things. Moreover, as long as the soldiers of the Chu army hear that we are selling Qin paper, not only will they not be in danger, but they will be enthusiastic about it." Convenient door."

"I heard that the Wu family is selling white sugar this time. I'm afraid the profit is still higher than our Qin paper." Sun Hao said quite meaningfully.

How could Fusu not know?He just smiled and said: "You don't know, there is someone in the Wu family in the court, and that person's status is not inferior to mine. I asked for Qin paper for you this time, and I asked His Majesty to ask for it with the cheek."

Fusu let out a haha, and said casually.

Sun Hao's heart was shocked, and he said to himself: "I didn't expect that this person could really enter the court for the first time, I heard that there is a young envoy next to the emperor, called Zhou Shi, could it be that this person came under the alias of Zhou Shi? "

Fusu just looked at Sun Hao's face in surprise, how could he know that he was regarded as Zhou Shi by Sun Hao.

"I really didn't expect that Xiongtai was already in and out of the court at such a young age. I'm really envious!"

Fu Su also smiled and said: "I am more envious of you, as long as you are in business, where you need to experience all kinds of intrigues in the court? Live a chic life!"

"What a joke! What a joke!" Sun Hao hurriedly yelled.

At the same time, the Wu family's caravan also left Wuguan, mainly transporting pure white sugar.

There was an unusually burly man in the caravan. From a distance, he seemed to stand out from the crowd.

Beside this strong man, there is a middle-aged man, whose eyes seem to be able to emit light, which is amazing to see.

Of these two people, one is Yuwen Chengdu and the other is Houyi!

Fusu spent a lot of money in order to ambush and kill Liu Xiu this time!
The 2000 soldiers from the trapped camp were already selected from thousands of miles, and [-] soldiers were re-selected to serve as the bodyguards of the two major merchant families.

Moreover, two of the more famous archers in the Qin army came at once-Hou Yi and Yang Youji!
Fu Su couldn't believe it anymore. Even if Liu Xiu was a god, how could he escape from such a lineup?

The caravan traveled very fast, and indeed encountered a lot of Chu army scouts along the way.

However, these merchant families seem to have close ties with the officials of the Chu State. They just stepped forward and said something, and randomly stuffed some copper coins to the soldiers. As for the generals, they gave some broken silver coins. Sent away directly.

Along the way, I arrived at Shucheng safely!
Seeing the Chu army flag hanging on the tower of Shucheng City, Fusu was actually relieved, because he was always worried that his speed was full, and he was afraid that Liu Xiu would take down Shucheng first. Liu Xiu, it is a little difficult.

On the second day after Fusu entered Shucheng, a pair of caravans from Yuwen Chengdu also came.

It is also a coincidence that the Sun family caravan and the Wu family caravan are both on the same street.

Xue Rengui suggested that everyone disperse, do not know each other, and rent an inn on the side of the street entering the city from the Dongcheng Gate.

Because after Xue Rengui and Yuwen Chengdu discussed, they felt that Liu Xiu was more likely to attack the city from the east.

And once Liu Xiu entered the city, the Qin army's sharp archers would ambush on the streets of Dongmen, and among the chaotic army, they would definitely be able to shoot Liu Xiu with one arrow.

Whether you do mental arithmetic or not, the result can be imagined.

Nearly [-] camp soldiers were arranged on Dongmen Street.

The generals in the city also knew that these people were merchants from the Wu family and the Sun family, so they didn't care about anything.

Time passed day by day, but Liu Xiu didn't see half a shadow.

Fusu even wondered if Sima Yi's calculations were wrong, and Liu Xiu had no plan to go south to attack Shucheng at all?

In the middle of the night, a figure suddenly appeared in a forest, like a ghost from the darkness.

If someone saw this scene, they would have their scalp numb with fright.

The moonlight was clear, and it fell on the ground. These swarming figures lined up on the official road outside the forest... It looked like a large army. From a distance, there might be tens of thousands of people!

Finally, the leader came out. He reached out and grabbed the spider web hanging from his face, and spit.

At this time, a general came forward and said in a low voice: "General, Shucheng is coming!"
