Wei Wuhou

Chapter 822 The Transfer of the Chu Army

(Please subscribe, everyone, don't begrudge your comments, let's have fun after the Chinese New Year!)
The speed of change in the situation is always unexpected, and it is even more so on the battlefield.

Not long after the Chu army entered Shangluo, the Wei army at Changping Pass on the other side of the river made moves, and its advance troops even crossed the river directly.

Wei Jun's arrival was not kind, but Chu Jun didn't admit cowardice at all.

In the past, they fought against the Wei army with Qin and Qi, and the Chu army did not work hard, but this time they are going to do a big job.

Therefore, after the Wei army took action, Xiong Xian immediately sent an order to the vanguard of the Chu army to drive the Wei army back to the north of the river.

There were more than [-] Chu troops. Naturally, they were not afraid of the Wei army in Changping Pass. The [-] Chu troops rushed directly to the [-] Wei troops who came across the river.

But the chief general of the Wei army, Wang Xiu, was not a fool. It was impossible for five thousand to twenty thousand to win. After the Chu army reacted, he let the Wei army who had crossed the river retreat.

For Wang Xiu, sending a large army across the river was not to fight the Chu people, but to make them move.

The Chu army's 20 troops are indeed powerful, and Wang Xiu is invincible, so he thinks of ways to lead the Chu people by the nose.

With the natural danger of the big river, he was not worried at all about the 20 Chu army on the opposite side.

Chu Jun looked at the ocean and sighed, and Xiong Xianye himself was very annoyed, but this was not the only thing that bothered him.

Because later he received a report from his subordinates, and the Wu people who followed him were also approaching quickly, which made Xiong Xian realize that he had miscalculated.

Xiong Xian didn't pay much attention to Wu's [-] troops at first. He thought that Wu Jun was following behind to monitor the movement of his own army.

But now that Wu Guoren and Wei Guoren have made moves, Xiong Xian immediately changed his view, making it easy for him to think that Wei and Wu had reached some kind of agreement.

In fact, this is not surprising, because on the surface, Wei Guo and Wu Guo are allies.

In the military camp twenty miles north of Shangluo City, Xiong Xian was thinking about the situation in the army alone, while the generals below were waiting for his decision.

But it was not a problem for Xiong Xian to remain silent like this, so not long after, a general asked: "General, the Wei army has retreated to the north of the river. Why don't we turn around the line of defense and wipe out all the Wu troops behind us!"

This statement easily won the approval of some people, because among the generals of the Chu army, some people still tend to attack Wu.

However, as the chief general, Xiong Xian didn't think so. Since he was appointed by Xiong Jun as the chief general, it meant that he followed Xiong Jun's opinion.

"Fight Wu? Don't you know what is the purpose of my 20 army going north?" Xiong Xian asked sternly.

Defeating Wu definitely does not need such a large-scale army. After being scolded by the general, the general who stood up just now had no choice but to retreat.

Xiong Xian also came out of deep thought at this time, and only heard him continue: "Everyone, our army went north to help Qi State resist Wei State, not for those remnant soldiers and defeated generals of Wu State!"

From the meaning of Xiong Xian's words, it can also be seen that he doesn't take Wu Guo seriously at all.

"General, since we don't want to attack Wu, what should our army do next?" A general asked again.

With 20 troops at his disposal, Xiong appeared to be full of confidence, and he only heard him say: "The top priority is to send troops into Qi as soon as possible. Now that the Wei army is plundering Qi, the people of Qi can't last long!"

This is what Xiong Xian said on his own. It is difficult for other people to be enthusiastic about joining Qi, and no one wants to do things that are thankless.

But this is a hurdle that the Qi army cannot get around, so Xiong Xian said: "The army entering Qi is tentatively scheduled to be 12, and this general will lead it personally. Would you like to join this general?"

When Xiong Xian fixed his eyes on his subordinates, some of them directly looked away, for fear of bumping into the general.

Except for a few people who were willing to support Xiong Xian, the others remained silent, and at the same time expressed their attitude.

Xiong Xian was very angry at this time, but he had no other choice. This was a status quo that even the king could not change.

So Xiong Xian said: "Since everyone is silent, I will order some by myself..."

Speaking of this, Xiong Xian didn't care whether everyone agreed or not, so he named each one according to the thoughts in his heart.

In less than a minute, the composition of the 1 army was finalized. Because Xiong Xian himself had illustrious military exploits and won the trust of the monarch, no one had any objections at this time.

"The army of 12 went straight to Qidi, but the Wei army at Changping Pass to the north of the river still had to defend, and the Wu army who was active in Liangdi also needed to be guarded. These two tasks will be handed over to the eight of you left behind!" Xiong Xian said to Those eight persons were not selected.

The eight generals of the Chu army who stayed at the beginning were still grateful, but when they heard that the general had arranged such a difficult task for themselves, their smiles disappeared.

There are [-] Wei Jun at Changping Pass, plus [-] Yu Wu Jun who are behind the scenes. The pressure to guard against these people is not ordinary.

In order to let the remaining people realize the importance of the problem, Xiong Xian said: "Everyone, if I want to retreat after leading the army into Qi, I need you to guard this road and not let Wei Jun and Wu Jun disturb you! "

"Otherwise, if the back road is robbed, our 20 elites of Great Chu may fall into the encirclement of the Wei army. No one can afford the crime!"

These words were heavy, the joy of everyone just disappeared, and everyone's face was full of solemnity.

"Chen Yu, you are in command of Wang Jinei's army, don't let this general down!" At this time, Xiong Xian pointed to a middle-aged general in the army tent and said.

Xiong Xian is nearly fifty years old, and he has not been in the army for many years. Chen Yu is a rising star he values, so it is natural to entrust him with a heavy responsibility at this time to show his experience.

Chen Yu didn't expect that he would be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the remaining [-] troops. It stands to reason that Xiong Xian did not have such power, but now that life was at stake, Xiong Xianxing did not seem obtrusive in his extraordinary methods.

Chen Yu stood up, and under the unconvinced eyes of his colleagues, he only heard a deep voice and replied: "Don't worry, the general, the general will definitely not let the Wei army become a big country, let alone the Wu people."

These words sounded exciting, and Xiong Xian's heart that had been half-cold also felt warmer, so he heard Xiong Xian say: "Everyone, the Wei people are my confidant's troubles. This time our army is not here to help Qi, but to save us. Own……"

"Therefore, I hope that you will do your best to make this expedition a triumphant victory, so that you will live up to your majesty's trust!"

Xiong Xian moved the monarch out, how can everyone be indifferent at this time, not to mention that Xiong Xian's words have some truth in them.

Ever since, the generals could only express their loyalty one by one, and firmly stated that they would complete the military order of the monarch and drive the people of Wei to the north of the river.

The military meeting of the Chu army ended like this. The so-called soldiers are expensive and fast. After bringing in the necessary supplies, Xiong Xian led an army of 12, quickly left Wang Ji under the cover of night, and rushed towards the direction of Qi.

In fact, at this time, the Wei army was attacking Qi State, and there were only a handful of defenders in the newly conquered Zheng State.

If the Chu army directly attacked Zhengdi at this time, it would definitely have an impact on the Wei army in front, but it is hard to say that it will make the Wei army return to help.

Compared to Qi State, the mere Zheng land is nothing to worry about. If Qi land can be taken down, it is nothing to lose the relatively poor Zheng land.

It was based on this that Xiong Xian vetoed the choice of entering Zhengdi, but directly led the army to the main force of the Wei army.

They had to speed up, because according to the latest information, Wei's army was not far from Linzi, the capital of Qi.

A good deck of cards was played like this by Tian Yuwen, Xiong Xian was also puzzled by this, he didn't know whether the Wei people were too strong, or the Qi people were too weak.

But Xiong Xian and the generals agreed on one point. They all believed that Qi Jun Tian Yuwen was not Wei Hou's opponent.
