"The Chu army sent ten thousand people to go south?"
In the Qin camp, Zhao Tuo frowned slightly and asked, "Where is Xiang Yan's great banner?"
"Xiang Yan's great banner is still in the Chu camp. General, is this a ploy by the Chu people to confuse us? In fact, Xiang Yan has already taken the opportunity to escape in the Chu army going south." Zhao Guang asked in a deep voice.
Many people looked over.
The Puppet King Xiong Qi and the Chu Ling Yin Xiang Yan are the two most important figures in the Chu State today. For the Qin people, they are also the two greatest military achievements.
Xiong Qi has escaped, but I don't know if he was caught by Zhongli Mei.
If Xiang Yan ran away again, they would gain nothing.
Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly. Tens of thousands of Chu troops were heading south, presumably to follow Zhongli Mei and rescue Xiong Qi from danger. As a result, Zhong Limei's pursuing troops were in danger.
"The superior general ordered General Yang Yuan to lead 10,000 troops to go north around the river. Maybe they can collide with each other?"
Zhao Tuo shook his head and drove away this lucky idea.
Now that Xiang Yan has responded, it's time for him to respond too.
Zhao Tuo turned his head, looked at Feng Wuze, and asked, "General Feng, when will the general's army arrive?"
Feng Wuze thought for a while and said: "According to the news brought by the boat master, after the general found out that Xiang Yan led the main force of the Chu army to evacuate, he led his army to detour to Dongyang. Calculating the time, I think it will be here in these two days. ”
The main force of the Qin army did not dare to take a detour from Dongyang before because the supply line was too long and the Chu army from the Shandao direction would sneak attack the grain team and cut off the supply.
Until Xiang Yan was led away by Zhao Tuo and left with the main force of the Chu army, the Chu army left behind in Shandao was restrained by Wang Jian's partial troops, so that the food route was unobstructed. Wang Jian was relieved and led the main force of more than 100,000 Qin troops from the direction of Dongyang.
Once the main force of the Qin army arrives, it will be like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, and it can directly defeat everything.
Zhao Tuo nodded, turned to the generals and said, "We will find out if Xiang Yan is there or not by sending an envoy to see him."
"Okay, the general's plan is really wonderful. If Xiang Yan doesn't see the envoy, he probably followed the Chu army of ten thousand people southward." Black Buttocks immediately agreed.
Zhao Tuo smiled and suddenly changed the subject and said: "I am sending an envoy to invite Xiang Yan for a decisive battle tomorrow. Both sides will leave the stronghold and arrange their troops in formation. Each will use their military skills to decide the victory on this battlefield!"
Hearing this, the generals were shocked.
"General, didn't we agree to defend the camp and wait for the arrival of the general's army? When our army is gathered together, why worry about Xiang Yan not being destroyed?"
Zhao Guang, Su Jiao and other people with calm personalities immediately advised him.
Meng Tian couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart when he thought about how he led troops to Shandao and was easily defeated by Xiang Yan.
The opponent is Xiang Yan, a figure who can compete with Wang Jian. Although Zhao Tuo is powerful, can he really defeat such a figure in a head-on confrontation?
Thinking of this, Meng Tian couldn't help but advise: "General, please be careful about this matter."
Compared to the dissuasion of Meng Tian, Zhao Guang and others. Heiyi, Zhang He and others looked excited and said: "What are you afraid of? Our general has never been defeated since he went on the expedition. It is impossible to say that Xiang Yan's head will be used to promote him this time."
The generals under his command had different opinions, but Zhao Tuo looked calm and looked at Feng Wuze beside him.
Feng Wuze understood and laughed: "What a good Zhao Tuo, did you become competitive after seeing the Chu army transfer 10,000 people? Aren't you afraid that Xiang Yan transferred those 10,000 people deliberately to confuse you? "
Zhao Tuo said calmly: "Xiong Qi is being chased by our army. Xiang Yan cannot ignore it. Otherwise, a king of Chu surrenders to Qin and another king is beheaded. Such a result will definitely shock all Chu people. Even his own Even if the king cannot protect him, who can trust him in the future and be willing to follow him in revolt? So this time, Xiang Yan must send troops to rescue Xiong Qi."
"And didn't General Feng just say that the general's army will arrive in these two days? If nothing happens on the way, it will be either tomorrow or the day after. If the general arrives tomorrow, our army will fight fiercely with the Chu army. General Xiang Yan Tuo is here, and when the general leads his troops, he can be annihilated in one fell swoop."
"It doesn't matter if we arrive the day after tomorrow. Even if our army loses to the Chu army, it will be at a disadvantage. With General Feng's ability, we won't be defeated on the same day. No matter how bad it is, we can still hold on until the army arrives. There will be a general by then. If you attack from behind, you can still win."
Feng Wuze took a deep look at Zhao Tuo, nodded and said: "In that case, I will listen to General Zhao this time. General Zhao has made extraordinary achievements many times since he went into battle. I wonder if he can lead me to make one this time." great merit."
"General Feng is so complimentary."
Zhao Tuo's eyes were filled with fighting intent.
This time he issued a challenge to Xiang Yan, not because he was arrogant, but because he sensed an opportunity.
If Xiang Yan did not send thousands of people to go south, Zhao Tuo would naturally shrink like a turtle and take a defensive position to defend the camp.
But Xiang Yan divided his troops, leaving only 40,000 Chu troops.
Zhao Tuo and Feng Wuze combined have 30,000 Qin troops, and the gap in military strength between the two sides further narrowed.
In addition, the Chu army attacked the Shejian tribe day and night in the past few days. Most of the soldiers were exhausted and were exhausted. In addition, they heard that Xiong Qi was defeated, and their morale was reduced.
As for the Qin army, Zhao Tuo defeated the false king Xiong Qi with one move and was besieged on all sides. Everyone under his command was proud and their morale was like a rainbow. As long as the news that the general is about to arrive with his army is announced, Qin's soldiers will become more confident one by one.
The main force of our army is about to arrive, and this battle will not be lost at all!
Such a comparison between soldiers and morale.
Even if the opponent is Xiang Yan, Zhao Tuo still has the confidence to charge forward.
When the enemy is strong, we defend; when the enemy is weak, we attack.
This is the secret to victory.
And for Zhao Tuo.
Xiang Yan may be the last powerful enemy he encounters.
"Once Xiang Yan dies, there will be no more famous generals in the six kingdoms."
If Zhao Tuo doesn't dare to fight Xiang Yan in this battle when the combat effectiveness of both sides is even, and even the Qin army may be stronger, then there will really be no chance in the future.
The kind of people from Qi who can solve problems with just one mouth really cannot arouse Zhao Tuo's interest.
As a military general, he is naturally eager to fight a powerful opponent, so it is not impossible to take risks for this purpose.
"Xiang Yan, do you want to fight with me?"
…
"Zhao Tuo invites me to fight tomorrow?"
In the Chu camp, Ling Yin Xiangyan looked at the silk book in his hand and looked at the Qin envoy in the tent.
"Haha, I'm finally willing to have a wild fight with you."
"Since Zhao Tuo wants to fight, I will fight with him!"
Xiang Yan's voice was loud. He wrote the word "ke" on the silk book, threw it back to the envoy of the Qin army, and said: "Let Zhao Tuo not play any tricks. Tomorrow on the battlefield, we should fight with each other." I’m going to have a serious fight!”
After the Qin army envoy left.
Jing Tong said slightly worriedly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo only retreated and stood firm before, but now he takes the initiative to invite a fight. Is there any hidden plot?"
Xiang Yan sneered and said: "It's just that I saw that I transferred ten thousand people, and I became confident in my heart. I thought that my army was small and the soldiers were tired, so I was no match for him. I just wanted to take advantage of Wang Jian before he arrived." "
Jing Tong suddenly understood and said: "According to the scout report, Wang Jian's army will arrive at Huaiyin tomorrow. If the Qin army does not attack the city and rushes here directly, it will not arrive until the next day. So Zhao Tuo and Feng Wuze want to be greedy. Is this a success?"
"Of course."
Xiang Yan laughed.
"The younger generation thinks that I, Xiang Yan, am old, so they want to bully me. I will be on the battlefield tomorrow and teach them a lesson."
"Let them know that although I, Xiang Yan, am old, I can still deal with some of their juniors."
Speaking of this, Xiang Yan's eyes flashed with light.
"If I can defeat Zhao Tuo and Feng Wuze first before Wang Jian's army arrives, I can slowly retreat south without fear of being pursued by them."
"This Zhao Tuo actually gave me a way out."
