Xiong Wuliang smiled and said: "Okay! If you lose, come to my fief and let me drive you for three years!"
Although Huang Xie always tried hard to surpass himself, his talent was still reliable.
If you can get him to do hard labor in the fiefdom, he will be a good hand!
Three years?
Huang Xie raised his eyebrows, thinking that you, Xiong Wuliang, are very calculating. I only promised to do one thing to you if I lose. But after you said that, I don’t necessarily have to do many things to you in three years...
However, there is no way he will lose!
Ten thousand Chu troops defeated 120,000 Qi troops?
What is this concept?
This is a legendary victory worthy of being featured in the history books!
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Huang Xie curled his lips and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I promise you!"
"If you win, I will truly trust you from now on!"
"If you lose, you will still be at my mercy for three years!"
Xiong Wuliang laughed loudly, walked forward, and high-fived Huang Xie in full view of the generals.
The generals looked at Xiong Wuliang's confident look and became suspicious——
Could it be that Qu Yangjun was really sure? His previous two bets had deceived his opponent quite miserably... However, even if Xiong Wuliangfeng was sure to win the bet, he still had to consider the actual situation!
Ten thousand is better than 120,000? impossible!
Xiong Wuliang said goodbye to the generals, then asked Mi Heng for the military talisman, ordered 10,000 Chu soldiers, and 1,500 Shaohu Army sergeants under his command, and hurried towards the south at full speed.
"Everyone only needs to carry five days of food and grass, and no other burdens are needed - light troops can travel easily!" Shaohu replaced Xiong Wuliang and conveyed the order to the 10,000 Chu soldiers.
After Mi Heng and everyone else heard this order, they couldn't help but look at each other again -
Is Xiong Wuliang so confident? Without even bringing dry food with the army, are you confident that you can defeat the Qi army in a very short time?
…
It is difficult for a 200,000-strong army to return to defense in time, but it is still very simple to mobilize a mere 10,000 people.
Ten thousand Chu soldiers abandoned all their belongings and rushed on the road carrying only weapons for fighting.
Xiong Wuliang issued a death order - to march hundreds of miles in one day...hundreds of miles to be completed in five days, and then prepare to fight the Qi army!
The soldiers of the Chu Army were rushing on their way, but at the same time they were feeling uneasy——
They all know that they have to fight with 10,000 troops against 120,000 Qi troops...
It sounds outrageous, right?
And now it's this marching method... Even if we arrive in front of the Qi army within five days, how much physical strength will everyone have? Can you still compete with Qi Jun?
Xiong Wuliang stood on the bronze chariot with a leisurely look, holding a roll of maps in his hand.
Zhao Hua stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master, this bet is another sure win!"
He had already figured it out and knew what method Xiong Wuliang planned to use to win.
Shaohu was still confused and looked at Xiong Wuliang and Zhao Hua with doubtful eyes.
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly.
How could he just watch Chu and Qi change their families... His fiefdoms [Ping'a] and [Quyang] were both on both sides of the Huai River!
If Huang Xie's 'switching' tactics were followed, wouldn't Xiong Wuliang's two years of hard work and hard work be ruined?
Besides, Xiong Wuliang does have a strategy to defeat the enemy!
"Shaohu, send two soldiers to pass the order to Zhong Hua on my behalf——"
"Order Zhong Hua to lead the troops to [Ping'a] County - open the dam, open the gate and release the water!"
Xiong Wuliang smiled and said: "I want to flood Qi's army!"
Due to the large amount of water in the Huaihe River, waterlogging occurs every summer. Xiong Wuliang once ordered his subordinates to build a dam with cement in Ping'a County.
After the levee was repaired, a dam was built in the middle of the river to drive the water wheel to rotate and store water to prevent drought.
Now Qi General Tian Zhen does not know whether he is alive or dead, and his 120,000 Qi troops are at the mouth of the lower reaches of the Huai River...
With the amount of water in the Huaihe River, floods would still occur even without intervention... Now the dam in Ping'a County has blocked the flow of water. It has been storing water since before the summer flood season, and it has stored water for less than half a year. flow……
Once the dam is opened, what kind of flood will it be?
Not to mention the 120,000 Qi troops - even if there were one million Qi troops, they would definitely not be able to stop the mighty power of nature!
…
When the two Shaohu sergeants who delivered the order hurried back to Quyang County... Zhong Hua was taking care of his children.
"Xiao Hei, raise your wrist a little higher!" Zhong Hua, holding a wooden sword for practice and with a stern look on his face, urged Xiao Hei to take a good posture.
Xiao Hei was sweating profusely in the hot summer, but he still maintained his posture steadily and did not dare to slack off.
A smile of relief flashed across Zhong Hua's eyes.
When Xiong Wuliang rescued two children, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, from the crowd of refugees, he sent someone back to Quyang County and told Zhong Hua to "find a job" for them.
This stumped Zhong Hua.
What kind of work can an eleven or twelve-year-old child do?
You can't send them to Shi Er's factory to work as child laborers to earn money for the government, right?
He simply left these two people in the mansion - Xiaobai was a pretty girl, and Siyi stayed by her side to take care of her. From time to time, she would go to the mansion to weed the grass and help in the kitchen...
Xiao Hei really made things difficult for Zhong Hua. After much thought, Zhong Hua decided to teach this boy how to practice swordsmanship.
What makes Zhong Hua happy is that although this kid is averagely talented, he is very hardworking and has no problem executing all of Zhong Hua's demanding requirements. In terms of training intensity alone, the eleven-year-old Xiao Hei is no less than A sergeant in the Quyang Army who is known for his rigorous training.
Under this kind of training, Xiao Hei made rapid progress - even though he was young, the three tiger-backed sergeants of Quyang Army would not be able to win easily in a short time.
Zhong Hua was determined to train this loyal and hard-working boy to become Xiong Wuliang's personal guard, so he taught even more devotedly.
…
"Okay, well done!" Zhong Hua exclaimed, "You can rest now!"
Xiao Hei, who had already exhausted his strength, softened, the wooden sword in his hand dropped, and he almost fell to the ground.
Xiaobai was dressed in green and had two pigtails. He ran over from behind, holding two small pots filled with warm water in his hands. He said obediently: "Uncle Zhong, big brother... drink water!"
Zhong Hua took the kettle with joy, raised his head and drank the water in one gulp. Then he glanced at Xiao Hei who was looking at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "Drink."
With the teacher's permission, Xiao Hei took the kettle from Xiao Bai's hand and drank the water in one gulp.
Zhong Hua praised without hesitation: "Heizi, your swordsmanship has improved rapidly. If you can continue to persevere, even if you cannot become a famous master in the future, you will at least be a first-class swordsman!"
Xiao Hei's face showed joy, and he was obviously very proud of Zhong Hua's recognition.
Xiaobai was also jumping with joy, adding a lot of lively and bright atmosphere to the empty Quyangjun Mansion.
While the three of them were talking, a sergeant named Quyang who was on duty at the door ran over with the two sergeants from Shaohu who had sent the message. As he ran, he announced loudly: "General Zhong - the master has sent back an order! "
Zhong Hua stood up suddenly, his eyes shining brightly!
