Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 313 Underestimate the enemy
In the northern suburbs of Pengcheng, the Qi army camp.

Amidst the cold sound of iron armor colliding, more than a dozen generals of the Qi army were walking in a single file. General Cao Can walked in the front, followed by Lou Jing, Prime Minister of Cao Can, followed by Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi, Lu Jing, etc. Qing, Xu Zhang and other generals.

Before approaching Han Xin's big tent, Su Weilang General Cao Yu had already come forward and said, "Stay here, everyone."

Cao Shen frowned, and said, "My lord, is your majesty still awake?" Last night, Han Xin found a few kabukis from somewhere, and they drank and drank until late at night, but this morning he couldn't get up.

Cao Yu shook his head and said, "Father, I'm afraid the king won't wake up before noon."

Cao Shen was silent when he heard the words, Lou Jing sighed and said, "General, let's go to your big tent first."

Cao Can nodded, and immediately led Lou Jing and Cheng Hei to his big tent. After entering the tent, Cao Can invited Lou Jing and the other generals to sit down, and said: "Everyone, this general just got a Shocking news, King Xiangzhuang of Chu has sent his General Wei Bi Shu to lead 30 troops to rescue Huainan Kingdom!"

Except for Lou Jingruo, the rest of Cheng Hei's generals all looked astonished.

Huainan State formed an alliance with Chu State, and Huainan State was attacked. It is not uncommon for Chu State to send troops to rescue. Chu State sent 30 troops to rescue, which is a bit large, but it is also reasonable. However, Xiangzhuang, King of Chu They sent an unknown guy to lead the troops to Huainan, but it was really surprising. Who was Bi Shu?
Cheng Hei said: "General, who is Bi Shu? Why have you never heard of it before?"

Cao Shen shook his head and said, "It's the first time this general has heard of this Bishu."

Bi Shu has been serving as General Zhechong since he was an official in Chu, and has been training soldiers in various counties. He has almost no contact with the outside world. Apart from the Huainan Prime Minister Kuai Che, who has had contact with him, probably only Bai Mo knows of his existence. Ten years later, even Kuai Che had forgotten about this person. As for Cao Shen and the others, how could they have heard of Bi Shu's name?

Only Lou Jing murmured, "This Bishu seems to be a scholar in his early thirties."

"Scholar?!" Cheng Hei was taken aback, and then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Xiang Zhuang must be crazy, right? Sending an unknown scholar to lead the army to save Huainan Kingdom is not an act Die?!"

The rest of Zhao Xi, Lu Qing, Xu Zhang and other generals also laughed out loud.

Only Cao Shen and Lou Jing frowned, with worried faces. Xiang Zhuang sent an unknown scholar to lead the army to rescue Huainan. It may not be a good thing for the army of Qi. The two were very worried. After this news, the enemy may be underestimated. In fact, King Qi has become more and more proud since he invaded Huainan with such force.

In fact, King Qi’s pride is also reasonable. King Qi worshiped his generals from Hanzhong, destroyed more than ten countries, and defeated the army without any calculation. For 20 years, no one can be defeated. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is powerful enough, right?The King of Han was defeated several times, but in the end?In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated by the King of Qi, the [-] strong army was wiped out, and Xiang Yu himself committed suicide in Wujiang!
How many people in ancient times can match such magnificent martial arts?It is not surprising that King Qi felt proud.

However, if the King of Qi becomes arrogant and underestimates the enemy, and despises the heroes of the world from now on, it will be dangerous.

Speaking of the Battle of Pengcheng, as early as three days ago, the equipment used for the siege had been transported to the army, but the King of Qi refused to order the siege of the city for a long time. Wanting to wait for the reinforcements from the Chu State to arrive, and then deal with the Huainan Army and the Chu Army together, isn't this underestimating the enemy?
Now that Xiang Zhuang sent an unknown scholar to lead the army, wouldn't King Qi belittle the enemy even more?
If the scholar sent by Xiangzhuang is someone like Zhao Kuo, then that's all. If the scholar is a hidden and powerful person, maybe King Qi will have a tumble in Pengcheng!
Cao Shen pondered for a moment, then said to Lou Jing: "Yaxiang, do you want to remind the king?"

In recent years, the King of Qi has not listened to everyone's advice. He said that when he chose to attack the target last time, Cao Shen, Wang Ling and other civil and military ministers tried to persuade the King of Qi to attack Zhao or Liang. But King Qi just didn't listen, and insisted on attacking Huainan. Now, with the advice of Yaxiang Lou Jing, Han Xin can still listen to a few words.

Lou Jing shook his head and sighed: "Oh, if I could persuade you, I would have persuaded you a long time ago."

Cao Shen was silent for a while, and then said: "At this point, we can only wait and see how things change."

##########
On the Chi Road from Zhuyi to Pengcheng, Bi Shu was marching northward with an army of 16.

Bi Shu was dressed in white and light fur, standing with his hands behind his back on a pure black chariot, looking ahead, the marching column of the Chu army stretched from under his eyes to the end of his vision, and the banners were densely packed and grounded In the sky, the rows of spears and rows of large shields seemed endless.

Looking back, it was Yu Ziqi, Xiao Kai, Tian Heng, Xi Qilie, Zi Cheshi and other Chu army generals.

Sitting on 16 strong soldiers and hundreds of good generals, Bi Shu's face is not the least bit complacent. Some people are born to be commanders. For example, the big man Huo Qubing dared to lead the army with [-] hussars for the first time. Going deep into Mobei and traveling thousands of miles, he destroyed the Longting of the Huns in one fell swoop. For example, Lu Boyan of the Three Kingdoms destroyed Guan Yu and captured Jingzhou for the first time in charge of the army.

Bi Shu is undoubtedly such a character. Although this is his first time leading an army, and also the first time he has been on the battlefield in his life, he has neither the slightest complacency nor the slightest nervousness or embarrassment. Calm and calm, it seems that he has led soldiers for hundreds of years and fought countless battles.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Bi Shu gently raised his right hand.

In an instant, dozens of cavalry were galloping from the central army to the front army and the rear army, and the military order to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot was also quickly conveyed. In less than a moment, they were heading north The 16 troops that marched in stopped, and then began to unload tents and equipment, and set up camp.

Bi Shu's Chinese military tent was set up first, and a screen was even erected in the tent.

At this moment, Bi Shu was looking at the map of Huainan hanging on the screen and meditating. The king of Qi, Han Xin, was proficient in martial arts. Facing such a strong enemy, Bi Shu really didn't know whether to lament his luck or misfortune?

As a military strategist, Bi Shu dreamed of confronting Han Xin. From this point of view, Bi Shu was lucky.

However, after all, it was his first time in command of a soldier after Bi Shu, but he had to face Han Xin, which seemed unfortunate again.

Bi Shu will never underestimate himself, but he will never overestimate himself. He knows that as long as Han Xin performs normally, he has no chance of winning Bi Shu. The most ideal result is just a tie. If the Chu army wants to win, There is only one chance, and that is Han Xin's underestimation of the enemy. If Han Xin underestimates the enemy, or the Chu army still has a slight chance of winning.

So, will Han Xin underestimate the enemy?Should Chu Jun make corresponding arrangements?
After meditating on the screen for a while, Bi Shu suddenly turned his head and shouted: "General Xi Qilie is invited!"

The soldiers outside the tent led away, and within a short while, Xi Qilie, who was wearing heavy armor, bent down and got into Bi Shu's big tent of the Chinese army. As if he was a peerless demon god, after entering the big tent, Xi Qilie cupped his hands at Bi Shu, and said loudly: "Xi Qilie sees General Wei."

Bi Shu returned the salute, let Xi Qilie stand in front of the screen, pointed to the screen and said: "General Xi Qi, I have a dangerous job here, do you dare to accept it?"

Xi Qilie opened his eyes wide and said proudly: "Why don't you dare?!"

"Okay." Bi Shu nodded happily, and said again, "Then from now on, you will be the Xiaoqi Captain of the Great Chu Kingdom!"

Xi Qilie was overjoyed when he heard the words. The three major battalions of the Great Chu Forbidden Army, the Sirius Camp, the Huben Camp and the Xiaoqi Battalion, among them, only the Xiaoqi Battalion is cavalry. The chief general of Xiaoqi is vacant. If Xi Qilie can become the captain of Xiaoqi, he will be the chief general of the ten thousand guard cavalry!
Excited, Xi Qilie's beards also stood on end, and he said immediately: "General Wei, what kind of work?"

Bi Shu patted the map and said, "General Xiqi, have you seen the woods marked on the map?"

Xi Qilie looked at the map, and replied: "General Wei, I know this forest, when the doctor escorting Shang was sent to Pengcheng a few years ago, he passed there, and the general even shot an elk and roasted it. After saying this, Xi Qilie said again, "This forest seems to be not far ahead, at most forty or fifty miles away?"

"That's right." Bi Shu nodded, and said, "Tonight, you will take the [-] guard cavalry from the Xiaoqi Battalion and sneak into the depths of the woods to ambush."

"Here!" Xi Qilie responded loudly, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Come back." Bi Shu said unhappily, "Why is it so urgent, you haven't even taken the Tiger Talisman of Troop Dispatch."

"Hey." Xi Qilie scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly, "General Wei, where is the Tiger Talisman?"

"You." Bi Shu pointed at Xi Qilie with a smile, straightened his face again, and said, "Remember, you must pay attention to hiding your whereabouts after entering the woods, and you must not let the scouts of the Qi army find out. The woodcutters and hunters will also be killed, and in the end, whenever there is a fire outside the forest, you will fight out at any time!"

"The last general has written it down." Xi Qilie said, "What orders does General Wei have?"

"That's all." Bi Shu said, handing over the troop transfer tiger talisman of the Xiaoqi battalion to Xi Qilie, and repeatedly urged, "General Xiqi, whether the Xiaoqi battalion can complete the task is likely to be related to the victory of the Huainan war." Defeat is more likely to be related to the national fortune and fortune of Dachu, you must be cautious and cautious."

"General Wei, don't worry, the general will not care about it!" Xi Qilie took the tiger talisman, gave Bi Shu a bow, then turned around and walked out of the tent.
