Competing

Chapter 630 Chapter [-]
It was almost the beginning of June in the seventh year of King Yue, and the hot summer weather naturally made people feel irritable.

In Linzi Qi Palace, Qi Wang Han Xin tossed and turned, unable to sleep no matter what, it was extremely hot, so he had no choice but to get up and walk around.

Queen Xiangning, who was seven months pregnant, noticed the abnormality. After putting on her clothes, she followed out and asked, "King Qi, what's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?" In the palace of King Qi, although there are many beauties, Liu Bang sent them The beauty and the daughter of the Zheng family are all there, but Han Xin is a dedicated person, and he loves Xiang Ning's people from the beginning to the end. Even if Xiang Ning is pregnant, Han Xin is willing to accompany her.

Han Xin shook his head lightly: "No, it's just that I don't know why I feel so irritable all of a sudden. There's always something strange in my heart."

"Oh? This..." Xiang Ning shook her head slightly, unable to understand Han Xin's thoughts.

Han Xin said silently: "There is always a feeling that something is going to happen?"

Xiang Ning said: "The city of Linzi is peaceful, everything is fine! It must be because you are tired from dealing with the government affairs, and you should rest more."

Seeing Xiang Ning's worried and concerned expression, Han Xin apologized a little, and said, "It's all about being a widow. Don't think too much about worrying you. Take a good rest and take care of our children."

Xiang Ning nodded lightly and said: "Yeah!" While speaking, she lightly stroked her round belly with her palm, with a happy smile full of maternal love.

The cool wind blew gently, taking away some of the heat, and the irritability in Han Xinxin was also reduced a little, but there was always a shadow of death lingering in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

Xiang Ning said: "Forget it, King Qi don't think about it anymore, Prime Minister Kuai, Li Zuoche, Guan Ying and other generals will share the worries of King Qi, let's go back and rest!"

Li Zuoche?When he heard Xiang Ning mentioning the news, Han Xin suddenly had a thought, and his heart skipped a beat, as if he had sensed where the slightest misfortune came from.Li Zuoche is now leading his troops to Xingyang in the Central Plains to start a war against the Vietnamese army, could something happen there?
Han Xin suddenly felt a little bad, and suddenly he felt that this matter was a bit sloppy.I'm afraid Li Zuoche is not Yin Xu's opponent, the one hundred thousand army... Han Xinxin felt a little regretful, he should have followed Kuai Che's advice and acted cautiously...

It's a pity that it's too late now, there's no time to withdraw the army or Li Zuoche who reminded him, everything can only be left to fate.I hope that Li Zuoche will be more cautious and luckier, and not follow Yin Xu's lead.It doesn't matter if you return in vain, I just hope that you don't suffer serious losses...

After thinking about it, Han Xin still felt that he should send a reminder to Li Zuoche. As for whether it will be useful or not, it's up to God...

..................................................................

Prior to this, the situation in Xingyang was very urgent. Han Xin was afraid that things would change if he was late, and worried that he would lose the best chance to besiege the Vietnamese army, so he ordered Li Zuoche to advance at full speed without delay as much as possible.

Li Zuoche was a general who followed orders, so he didn't dare to delay on the way, so he rushed to Xingyang in a hurry.

On this day, the Qi army came to the northeast of Guangwu Mountain, which was once the place where Chu and Han negotiated peace.It's a pity that the peace negotiation with the gap as the boundary turned out to be nothing more than a scam, and the situation in the world has developed to the point where it is today.

Guangwu Mountain is not far from Xingyang City, and of course it is not far from the Yue State Barracks. When Li Zuoche came here, he immediately sent someone to find a way to contact the Han Army.And investigate the movement of the Vietnamese army and organize the so-called encirclement operations.Of course, Li Zuoche also knew that he had to act cautiously against someone like Yue Wang Yinxu.Therefore, every time I go to a place, I must be very careful when setting up camp, especially after the soldiers approach Guangwu Mountain, they are not far from the Vietnamese army.

The development of the matter cannot simply act according to the plan of the Yue State. While the Qi army was mobilized, the Yue army had already begun to act.A major war is destined to unfold on the land of the Central Plains, and the outcome of the war will inevitably have a great impact.

............................................................

It can be said that Li Zuoche came all the way under the strict surveillance of Yue Guofeiying.Wherever the Han army went, it was under the control of the Yue army, even though Li Zuoche was cautious all the way.However, if the Yue Kingdom intends to sneak attack, they can still find opportunities.

But Yin Xu didn't do anything along the way, he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.When Qi's army approached Xingyang, it finally arrived at the designated position.

"Your Majesty, Li Zuoche's troops from the Qi State have arrived [-] miles east of Guangwu Mountain, and have set up camp to rest." The moment the Qi State army arrived, Su An sent the news in time.

Yin Xu smiled lightly, the time he had been waiting for for a long time had arrived, and Guangwu Mountain was just right in the distance from Xingyang.As planned, it was just right, and it was a godsend.

Su An asked for instructions: "My lord, can we start to act?"

The army of the Yue Kingdom has been waiting for work at leisure, and has been recharging its energy for a long time, and now it can be used.

Yin Xu nodded lightly: "Yes, the time is just right, are the arrangements in place?"

As early as half a month ago, Yue State had already started planning and arranging this matter, and it can be said that it is quite complete by now.

Su An replied: "It's all in place, and we can start to act."

"Very good!" Yin Xu nodded and said, "Inform Yingbu and Pu Jun that they are ready to take action, remember to seize the time, and only when each step is just right can the expected goal be achieved."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best..." The generals were very confident about this.

Yin Xu nodded and said, "Okay, that's an action."

..........................................................................................

This night, Li Zuoche was equally restless, perhaps due to the weather, walking back and forth in the Chinese military tent.Afterwards, he walked out of the camp, patrolled around, and returned to the tent after seeing that everything was safe and sound, but he still couldn't fall asleep.There also seemed to be a bad feeling in his heart... But now he can do nothing, he can only stay quietly in the camp and wait for news. The spies have been sent out, and it won't be long before there will be news.

Not long after, Li Zuoche received the message, which seemed to confirm his uneasiness.

"General, the Vietnamese army attacked Cheng Gao in the dark, and they are fighting fiercely now..." The spies reported back in time and got the news.

"Sneak attack on Cheng Gao? Are you still fighting fiercely?" After thinking for a while, Li Zuoche asked, "How many troops did the Yue Kingdom invest in? Is the battle fierce?"

"There are at least tens of thousands... Chenggao's East Gate seems to be a bit unable to hold on..." The spies of Qi State were afraid of being captured by the Vietnamese army, so they didn't dare to get too close, so they could only get this kind of news.

Li Zuoche became a little silent when he heard the news. The situation shouldn't be so bad, right?Cheng Gao has Zhou Bo personally sitting in the town, so it shouldn't be like this...

Li Zuoche was relatively calm about this, he thought that there would be no problem with Cheng Gao for the time being...

But it didn't take long before the development of the situation seemed a little unexpected...

"General, a beacon is lit in the direction of Cheng Gao..." Li Zuoche was a little shocked when the left and right reported the news.

After taking a few steps to get outside the big tent, you can see three beacon fires burning high in the direction of Chenggao from a distance. This is the distress signal agreed by the Han army.

Since Yue Kingdom appeared under the city, the connection between Chenggao and Xingyang has been increasingly threatened, and sending messages back and forth has become a serious problem day by day.The Han Kingdom did not have the means of sending letters by flying pigeons across the country. In order to ensure mutual contact, support them when necessary, and truly become each other's horns, they adopted the oldest and most traditional communication method, which is beacon communication.

Beacon fire communication is a very ancient method. The best example is the allusion that King You of Zhou had a play on the bonfire of the princes, and it was widely used in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties.During the day, they use beacons to communicate, and at night, they use fire. Both Chenggao and Xingyang are on the plains of the Central Plains, and they can clearly observe the beacon signals, so there is no problem in using them between the two places.

Beacon fire communication must be used only when the problem is very serious. With the example of King Zhou You's Fenghuo playing with the princes, no one dares to use this thing lightly.Especially when the situation is critical like now, if it is not a last resort, it will never be used.

Now that there are three beacons burning above the city of Chenggao, the situation must be very serious. If not, how could Zhou Bo ask for help with his ability...

"General, shall we send troops to rescue?" Seeing this situation, the deputy general immediately suggested that Li Zuoche send troops.

"Send troops, is it appropriate to send troops now?" Li Zuoche couldn't help being a little puzzled.

The lieutenant general said: "Chenggao ignited the flames, which shows how critical it is. If we don't rescue it in time, I'm afraid there will be some mistakes. If Chenggao is lost, Xingyang will really be an isolated city. What's more, General Zhou Bo can fight Fenghuo asked for help, presumably the Yue Kingdom also invested a lot of troops, otherwise the whole effect would not be achieved at all. It means that the main force of the Yue Kingdom is now deeply trapped in the Chenggao battlefield... Presumably Xingyang has seen the message of the beacon fire, and will also If we send reinforcements, wouldn’t it be great if we also send reinforcements in time, the three armies unite, and the inside and outside cooperate to encircle and annihilate the Yue army in Chenggao? This is what the King of Qi wants to see most.”

That's what he said, but Li Zuoche always felt that things would not be that simple.Did the Vietnamese army launch such a large-scale attack on Xingyang and Chenggao in the past?Why did the whole army suddenly attack today, with such a powerful momentum?Especially when his army had just arrived, it seemed even more coincidental.

Li Zuoche had to be more cautious when he thought of Yinxu, the king of Yue, who was full of tricks, but Cheng Gao's blazing flames showed that the situation was critical.The army has arrived, and it seems impossible not to send troops to rescue...
