Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 411 Choosing a Battlefield
In the dead of night, Han Xin was still writing at his desk in the big tent.

During the confrontation between the two armies for more than a month, Han Xin has not been idle, but has been writing the manuscript of the military book "Han Xin's Military Strategy" day and night. Obviously, Han Xin, who knows that his time is numbered, also wants to leave behind in this world. If there is a little something, then writing a book on the art of war to pass on to future generations has become his first choice.

Perhaps it was the cruel fact that Shouyuan was about to end imperceptibly spurring Han Xin, so the process of "Han Xin's Military Strategy" was very fast. In just over a month, he had already written sixteen manuscripts, which basically included his art of war, After writing the experience of the strategy, the next thing Han Xin will write is the chapter on command in front of the battle, which will be the top priority of the entire military strategy.

Han Xin closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and when he was about to start writing, the tightly closed curtain was suddenly lifted.

Han Xin couldn't help frowning, and when he looked back, he saw that the crown prince Han He had hurried in, first gave Han Xin a bow, and then said excitedly: "Father, something happened to the camp of the Chu army!"

"What happened?" Han Xin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he immediately stood up with a pen.

Half a quarter of an hour later, surrounded by Han He and Zhao Yan, Han Xin hurriedly boarded the sentry tower on the side of the gate. The camp of the Chu army was less than five miles away from the camp of the Qi army, so standing on the watchtower could The movements of the entire camp of the Chu army could be seen clearly. Han Xin looked down from the sentry tower, and saw the bright lights and figures of people in the camp of the central army of the Chu army, as if something had happened.

At that moment, Han Xin found a Qi Jun Xiaoxiao with extraordinary eyesight, and asked, "Can you see the situation over there?"

Qi Jun Xiaoxiao observed carefully for a long time, not quite sure: "Your Majesty, it seems to be arguing."

"Arguing?" Han Xin and Han He were stunned when they heard the words, but Zhao Yan was overjoyed at the same time, and said anxiously, "My lord, most likely the rumors have already played a role, and the generals of the Chu army are forcing Bi Shu to fight!"

Han Xin's eyes froze for a moment, and he hurriedly ordered Qi Jun Xiaoxiao: "Take a team of cavalry, and go and catch some survivors!"

"Here!" The Qi Jun Xiaoxiao responded loudly, turned around and went down the sentry tower, and then lit up a group of cavalry, taking advantage of the cover of the night, and hid themselves in the darkness outside the camp like ghosts.

However, it is not so easy to catch the Chu army scout alive.

It wasn't until dawn of the next day that the small Qi army came back in disgrace, and only less than fifty of the hundreds of cavalry he brought with him were left. However, he finally caught two scouts from the Chu army who were seriously injured and were about to die. When escorting them into the account, the Qi army didn't even dare to be too rough, lest the two Chu army scouts would die if they were not careful.

At this time, Yingbo and Kuaiche have also rushed to Han Xin's tent after hearing the news.

Yingbo couldn't wait to ask the two scouts of the Chu army, "Tell me, did you mutiny in your camp last night?"

A short Chu army scout didn't even lift his eyelids, but the taller one gave Qi Bu a vicious look, and opened his bloody mouth to spit a mouthful of blood at Ying Bu. Ying Bu was furious, and said viciously: "Damn it, believe it or not, let someone cut off your heads right now?"

The tall Chu army scout said coldly: "I can't ask for it."

"You..." Yingbo became more and more furious, and when he was about to draw his sword and stand up, Han Xin stopped him with his hand.

Han Xin stopped Yingbu, smiled lightly, and said to the two Chu army scouts: "You don't tell me that I already know that Jin Xiang, Yu Ziqi, Zicheshi, Xiqilie and other army generals came to find you last night. Bi Shu went to the theory and asked Bi Shu to go to war as soon as possible, but Bi Shu did not agree."

The tall Chu army scout said coldly: "You still ask if you know?"

Han Xin smiled, waved his hand and said, "Drag it, cut it off."

Immediately, the forbidden army entered the tent and dragged two Chu army scouts out of the tent. Although death was imminent, the Chu army scout did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

Yingbu couldn't help but sighed: "Chu soldiers are all warriors of tigers and wolves."

Han Xin was also silent when he heard the words. He also had to admit that the soldiers of Chu were better equipped and trained than those of Qi. The current Qin army has this kind of belligerent factor, but Han Xin has never seen it with his own eyes.

But no matter what, the Chu army will definitely lose this time!
This is because the Chu army met Han Xin. Han Xin has fought in more than a hundred battles all his life, and he has never lost a single defeat. This Huainan battle will never be an exception.

Jin Xiang, Yu Ziqi, Zi Cheshi, Xi Qilie and dozens of generals in the army came to Bi Shu's big tent again, but Tieniu didn't dare to stop him, so he had to let him go.

All the generals entered the tent, and saw that Bi Shu was sleeping on the soft cushion with his back to the tent door, and a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War fell under his feet, as if awakened by the footsteps of the generals, Bi Shu got up lazily and said unhappily: "Why are you here again? It's so early in the morning that no one can sleep, huh?"

The eyes of all the generals focused on Yu Ziqi. Yu Ziqi coughed lightly, first bowed his hand to Bi Shu, and then said, "General, since the king has issued an edict, we should obey it."

The matter has to start from last night. Yu Ziqi came to find Bi Shu last night. He originally wanted to take the initiative to lead a partial division to attack Linzi for a long distance to force the Qi army to retreat from Huainan, but Bi Shu fell asleep while reading. Yu Ziqi originally planned to come back the next day, but before he left, he accidentally saw a secret letter on Bi Shu's desk.

Yu Ziqi took a closer look, and it turned out that it was the edict issued by the king to Bi Shu, ordering him to send troops to fight the enemy as soon as possible.

Yu Ziqi had a heart attack at that time, and when he went back, he told Jin Xiang and the others, how could Jin Xiang and the others hold back, they immediately found Bi Shu and demanded to start the war immediately, Bi Shu naturally used all kinds of prevarications, until Yu Ziqi When Ziqi was broken, Bi Shu had to admit that he had indeed received Xiang Zhuang's edict, but he still refused to agree to send troops.

Last night, we kept arguing until late at night, and finally everyone broke up unhappy.

Seeing that Yu Ziqi moved out of the imperial edict again, Bi Shu frowned and said: "The general is out, and the king's order is not acceptable!"

Jin Xiang snorted and was about to speak, but Bi Shu picked up the military talisman from the desk and said coldly: "This general still says the same thing, as long as the king doesn't issue an edict to take back my general's military talisman, you must obey this general unconditionally." If you continue to intimidate this general, then don’t blame this general for turning his face and refusing to recognize anyone!”

Tieniu also stood behind Bi Shu at the right time, holding Xiang Zhuang's Wang Jian in his arms.

Generals Jin Xiang, Zi Che Shi, and Xi Qi Lie immediately fell silent. The Chu army had strict military discipline, and Bi Shu refused to follow the imperial edict. Bi Shu's account.

Yu Ziqi was the last one to leave, and before he left, he suggested: "General, how about the last general leading a partial army to attack Linzi to force the Qi army to retreat?"

"We'll talk about this later." Bi Shu couldn't help but dismiss Yu Ziqi away.

Although Bi Shu had just rejected the generals' request to fight, Bi Shu knew in his heart that this was nothing more than acting. This group of arrogant soldiers will be like fierce tigers that have been imprisoned for a long time, becoming more ferocious than ever before.

The final decisive battle with Han Xin is imminent, and a little more troops will increase the chances of winning. At this juncture, how could Bi Shu agree to divide the troops?
Yu Ziqi left unhappily, and Bi Shu immediately got up to wash up, and then told Tieniu: "Tie Niu, hurry up and go out with the general."

Tieniu was stunned and said, "General, are you going out of the camp?"

Bi Shu nodded, grabbed the cold rice ball on the desk and gnawed it.

"Here!" Tieniu clasped his fists, and went out of the tent to gather the cavalry full of confusion.

##########
Half an hour later, Bi Shu appeared in the wilderness northeast of Pengcheng under the escort of eight hundred elite cavalry.

The scout cavalry of the Qi army and the Huainan army quickly spotted the Chu army cavalry and followed them from a distance. When Tieniu was about to lead his troops to drive away, Bi Shu stopped him.

Bi Shu shook his hand and said, "Leave them alone, let them follow."

Tieniu snorted, and said again: "General, what are we doing here in the wild?"

Bi Shu smiled. Naturally, he would not tell Tieniu that he was choosing a battlefield.

Bi Shu wandered around in the wilderness with [-] riders for more than half an hour, when the sky suddenly began to rain continuously. Huainan had entered the rainy season at this time, and it has been raining almost every day for the past three to five days. Big, but in just a moment, everyone's robes were drenched.

Tie Niu stepped forward immediately, and persuaded: "General, please go back?"

"Turn around again." Bi Shu shook his hand, wiped the rainwater off his face again, and then turned his head inadvertently, and a vast low-lying land appeared in front of his vision. It is said that it can accommodate several 10 people. The depressions are covered with dense thatch grass, and there seems to be water in the grass.

Bi Shu's eyes lit up in an instant, this was exactly the battlefield he was looking for!
At that moment, Bi Shu rode his horse and rushed towards the low-lying land of Guangmao. Tieniu didn't dare to neglect, and rushed to catch up with eight hundred cavalry. After a while, Bi Shu rushed in under the protection of eight hundred fine cavalry. After reaching the low-lying land and entering the low-lying land, it was discovered that the stagnant water inside had submerged the horseshoes, but the action of the war horse was not greatly affected.

"Woo..." Bi Shu lightly stopped the horse, then turned over and jumped off the horse's back.

Tie Niu and the accompanying [-] riders also stopped their horses one after another, looked at Bi Shu in bewilderment, put his hands into the water, and then took out a handful of soil with grass roots from the muddy water plants, Bi Shu Carefully crushing the soil in his hands bit by bit, he finally raised his head to the sky, squinted at the dark sky and fell into long-term meditation.

Tie Niu never dared to disturb Bi Shu, so he had to cheer up and wait in the rain.

A quarter of an hour later, a faint smile finally appeared on the corners of Bi Shu's mouth, and he squatted down and dipped his hands into the muddy water to wash them, then got on his horse and waved to Tien Niu, saying, "Let's go back to the camp.
