Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 300 Rescue Huainan Country

The land of Huaisi was already covered in clouds of war.

Almost at the same time that Xiangzhuang entered Bashu, King Han Xin of Qi also led an army of 40 to invade Huainan. In less than a month, the army of Qi went to Lu County, Zou County, and Teng County. , Xuexian, and Liuxian, the soldiers pointed directly at Pengcheng. Huainan Wang Yingbu was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly led his army back to Pengcheng, and at the same time ordered the envoy to ask the Chu army for help.

##########
At the Shouze camp, Bi Shu is gathering with the generals to discuss matters.

Regarding whether to send troops to rescue Huainan, there were serious differences among the generals.

Master Zi Che bowed his hands to Bi Shu, and said, "General Wei, Huainan is an ally of our Great Chu. If the allies are attacked, if they don't send troops to rescue them, what's the use of this covenant? Also, if Huainan is captured by Qi If the country is destroyed, there will be no important barrier between us, Great Chu and Qi, and we will face the front of the Qi army from now on, which is something that military strategists will not take."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Kai retorted loudly: "Although General Zi Che's words are reasonable, Qi's army has many generals, and Han Xin's soldiers are unmatched. His Majesty is going out again, who can match Han Xin?" , Xiao Kai also coldly glanced sideways at Bi Shu, who was the chief executive, his eyes were full of disdain.

For Bi Shu, Xiao Kai was not convinced from the bottom of his heart, why should he?
Bi Shu's expression was indifferent, and he didn't take Xiao Kai's words to heart.

Zi Cheshi frowned, and retorted: "Han Xinxin's soldiers may not really be that powerful."

"That's because you haven't personally experienced the battle of Gaixia!" Xiao Kai said coldly, "How brave is the former king? However, in the next battle of Gaixia, the [-] elites led by the former king were defeated by Han Xin. , How could you, scholars who only know how to talk, be able to imagine it?"

Zi Che Shi couldn't help laughing, and didn't argue with Xiao Kai.

There has been a long history of discord between the generals of the Chu family and the generals of the Qin family. As a member of the generals of the Qin family, it is not surprising that Zi Cheshi is not favored by Xiao Kai, a big brother of the Chu family.

Bi Shu's eyes finally fell on Zhongli Mo and Yu Ziqi.

In terms of seniority alone, among the many generals in the account, including Bi Shu, who can match Zhongli Mo and Yu Ziqi?

In terms of ability, Zhongli Mo and Yu Ziqi are by no means inferior to Meng Ji, Zi Cheshi and others, they are even worse than Xiao Kai, Tian Heng and others.

Bi Shu asked: "General Zhongli, General Ziqi, what do you think?"

Zhongli turned his head and exchanged glances with Yu Ziqi, then bowed his hands and said, "General Wei, Huainan and Dachu are close friends, we have to save them, but it is an indisputable fact that Han Xin's soldiers are unmatched , the final general thinks that sending a small number of reinforcements is tantamount to going into the mouth of a tiger, and if you want to be rescued, you should send all your troops to the rescue!"

Bi Shu couldn't help but smile, the two veteran generals, Zhongli and Ziqi, knew the general situation quite well.

"Old Zhong Li, are you crazy?!" Xiao Kai was startled, and said angrily, "All the troops go to Huainan, once Liang Guo's army on the opposite side invades Jiujiang, what should we do?"

Bi Shu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this. Although the Liang army is elite, they are all infantry. The Meishan River and the Huaihe River are separated from Chenjun and Jiujiang. As long as there are navy troops, Liang Jun will never think of crossing it." Huai Shui half a step!" After saying this, Bi Shu got up abruptly, and shouted sharply, "Zhong Li Mo listens to the order!"

Zhong Limo hurried forward two steps, bowed his hands and said: "The last general is here!"

Bi Shu drew a command arrow from the front of the case, and shouted: "Lead [-] infantry troops and [-] navy troops to guard the Meishan and Huai Rivers. Before the general returns to Jiujiang, the Liang army is not allowed to cross the Huai River."

Zhong Limo stepped forward to take the command arrow, and responded abruptly: "Here!"

Bi Shu drew out the second command arrow and shouted loudly: "Meng Xing listens to the command!"

Meng Ji swung his cloak and took two steps forward, clasped his hands and said, "The end is here!"

Bi Shu threw the commanding arrow in his hand to Meng Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Lead [-] cavalry troops to the front, and rush to help Pengcheng immediately!"

"Here!" Meng Jie took the commanding arrow, responded with a bang, and then followed Zhong Limei one after the other, turned around and walked away.

Bi Shu's cold eyes swept over the faces of the other generals one by one, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The rest of the generals, return to the camp immediately to rectify their horses and equipment, and after two days, I will go to Huainan with this general." Bi Shu pulled out the king's sword that Xiang Zhuang gave him, and said murderously, "Whoever dares to disobey orders, this general will never forgive him lightly!"

The capital of Huainan, Pengcheng.

Wang Yingbu of Huainan was pacing back and forth on the top of the city with his hands behind his back. The army of Qi had already passed through Liu County yesterday, and Liu County was less than a hundred miles away from Pengcheng.

Not far behind Yingbu stood the Minister of State Kuai Che, General Zhao Zhen, General Fei Zhu and other civil and military ministers in turn, and all of them looked dignified. Even Kuai Che frowned, don't worry, Han Xin The reputation of the army is too loud, and the 40 army is indeed a frightening number.

Yingbo suddenly turned around and asked Kuaiche, "Minister Guo, has the fourth group of messengers to ask for help from the Chu army been sent?"

Kuai Che sighed, and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the fourth group of messengers had left half an hour ago.

Ying Bu nodded, and said again: "Calculating the time, the first group of messengers should arrive at the Shouhu camp. Prime Minister, do you think Xiang Zhuang will agree to send troops?"

Kuai Che replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the King of Chu will definitely send troops."

The general at the side, Zhao Zhen, suddenly interjected, "I'm afraid Xiang Zhuang only sent [-] to [-] Chu troops to rescue."

Hearing the words, Yingbo was awe-inspiring, and asked Kuaiche again: "Minister Guo, do you think Xiangzhuang will really only send 2 to [-] people?"

"Absolutely not. I thought that the king of Chu would definitely send all his soldiers to rescue our country." Kuai Che's tone sounded extremely firm, but in fact, he also had no idea in his heart. However, in the face of Han Xin's 40 army, whether Xiang Zhuang is willing to do his best is really unpredictable.

While speaking, a long and deep horn sounded suddenly in the northern wilderness.

"Huh?!" Yingbo's heart trembled suddenly, and when he turned his head to look at the northern wilderness, he saw nothing.

Kuai Che, Zhao Zhen and other civil and military ministers, as well as the soldiers of the Huainan Army guarding the top of the city, also looked up. During the suffocating wait, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly pointed to the north and shouted: "Look, big flag! Wang Dazhen!"

When Ying Bu, Kuai Che and the others looked anxiously, they saw a large purple banner slowly rising from the distant horizon in the north. If you look at the color, you can know that Han Xin must have arrived, because in the whole world, only the king of Qi's banner is purple.

"Here we come." Ying Bu murmured, "Han Xin is finally here."

Kuai Che is also heartbroken. Huainan Kingdom and Qi Kingdom, Yingbu and Han Xin are finally going to have a showdown. For today, Kuai Che has been preparing for a full ten years!King Qi, King Qi, back then you didn't adopt my Kuai Che's strategy, so you lost the world. Today, I, Kuai Che, will also not let you get what you want.

On the wilderness in the northern suburbs of Pengcheng, 40 troops from the State of Qi are marching southward.

Under the big purple banner fluttering in the wind, King Han Xin of Qi was wearing a tiger skin cloak, and he was proudly straddling a snow-white horse. Behind Han Xin, dozens of Su Wei Lang generals lined up. Behind these generals, It is the soldiers of the Qi army who are grounded to the sky, and the banners fluttering in the wind almost cover the entire sky!

All of a sudden, Han Xin raised his right hand and said calmly, "Send the order to set up camp on the spot."

In an instant, hundreds of messengers galloped towards the rear, galloping their horses and howling: "Your Majesty has an order, set up camp on the spot, Your Majesty has an order, set up camp on the spot..."

In less than a moment, the furious Qi army stopped.

Immediately, a team of soldiers unloaded the tents and utensils from the luggage vehicles, and began to set up camp. Han Xin, escorted by dozens of Suwei Lang generals and [-] cavalry guards, came down to the north gate of Pengcheng. Han Xin He is also an old acquaintance with Yingbo, and Kuai Che, the Prime Minister of the Huainan Kingdom, once served as an aide under Han Xin's tent. It is human nature to catch up on the past before the war.

Han Xin brought his men and horses within a hundred paces, and then he reined in his horse and bowed to Ying Bu on the top of the wall, saying, "Prince Huainan, are you all right?"

Yingbo bowed his hands in return, and said coldly: "King Qi, your prestige is not the same as back then."

Han Xin smiled slightly, and said to Kuai Che behind Yingbo, "Mr. Kuai Che, how have you been?"

"His Royal Highness King Lao Qi asked." Kuai Che bowed his hand in return, and said calmly, "Everything is fine."

"Really?" Han Xin said in disbelief, "However, the situation in Huainan does not seem to be very good? I came all the way to the south and found that most of the people in Huainan have food, and it seems that they can't fill their stomachs?"

Kuai Che suddenly showed embarrassment. His governance of Huainan Kingdom was indeed unsatisfactory. There are many reasons for this, but there is only one main reason, that is, Wang Yingbu of Huainan is a prisoner of Lishan. Born, he only advocates absolute force, and has never paid much attention to the life and death of the people in Huainan.

Han Xin's words hit Kuai Che's weakness, making him indisputable.

"Han Xin, don't make sarcastic remarks there." Ying Bu said angrily, "If it wasn't for being looted by the Liang army back then, how could the three counties of Huainan be as poor as they are now? Besides, how can your Qi State compare Where is the strength of the Huainan country of the widow? Don’t think that the widow will be afraid of you if you bring 40 troops, hum! "

After all, Yingbu snatched the iron tire bow from Feizhu's hand, drew the bow and set up an arrow and shot at Han Xin.

There was a muffled buzzing sound, and the heavy arrow with spikes as thick as a thumb was heading straight for Han Xin's throat. Seeing that Han Xin was about to die under Yingbu's arrow, a young general in purple robes suddenly rode his horse from behind Han Xin. The halberd in his hand was handed to Han Xin at a difficult time, and it was able to block the arrow that Yingbo was about to kill.
