"May I ask, General, how can we hunt this beast?" Xiang Cheng thought carefully for a moment, but still felt that there was nothing he could do, so he poured another cup of tea for Qu Dazhong and asked.
Chu State and Yan Qi State are adjacent to each other, and there will be a war every now and then.
They had fought against generals from both Yan and Qi countries, and they had racked their brains to kill each other. But it turned out that monsters like generals were born for the battlefield, to kill one of them among thousands of armies. The blood path is just a normal operation and cannot be surrounded at all.
Reading with rice balls
Only if the general fights to the death or creates an opportunity for a one-on-one duel between the martial arts master and the general, then the general cannot be killed at all.
"If it were other generals, it would be really hard for me to capture him; but for Junior Lu Wu, haha, it's not that difficult to trick him." Qu Dazhong rubbed the teacup in his hand and smiled.
Under Tonghe City, the Chu army's vanguard camp was located.
Ji Chan looked at the topographic map hanging in the tent and was frowning in thought.
Tonghe City is located in the south of Tonghe Prefecture. A river more than 20 meters wide passes through Tonghe City, providing a source of water for Tonghe City - hence the name Tonghe City.
However, there is little hope of attacking Tonghe City through the water gate, because the water gate is not one, but has three floors, with a length of thirty feet. The walls on both sides are equipped with rolling wood and stones. There is no need for any trebuchets, as long as there are a few A strong man stood on it and threw stones, and the ships below couldn't bear it.
After thinking about it, Ji Chan felt a little regretful.
He beat him too hard a few days ago, and he also cracked the night attack. As a result, he has become a coward and can't come out at all.
If I had known this, I should have lost a few games in the first place.
That Mengyang is just a loser. If he really wants to go out to fight in the city, even if the strength of the troops is three to five times different, Ji Chan is sure that he will be beaten to the point where he will not be able to return home.
It's good now, the front is happy, but now facing a shrunken turtle, can he still let his three thousand ants attack the city? There is no such thing as fighting.
"Come here." Ji Chan ordered.
"General, please give me your orders." Ji Chang, the captain of the soldiers, walked in.
"Send people from behind to urge me. Why don't you let me take down Tonghe City with these people? Who said that as long as we win a few big games, the people in Tonghe City will definitely be shaken, and someone will come out to surrender. Where is the name? Damn, where is the person who handed over the name now? Meng Yang is acting like a turtle. When I find this person, I will spit in his face. "
"General, it was the deputy commander-in-chief Xiangcheng who said this." Ji Chang replied.
"Well, forget it, I can't afford to offend him. You can send someone to urge him." Ji Chan waved his hand angrily and told his confidant to step back.
"By the way, you ask Chi Chu to take two hundred troops and go outside Tonghe City to scold them for a while."
"As ordered." Ji Chang retreated and arranged for people to urge the people behind to follow.
Ji Chan, on the other hand, returned to the resting area in the back tent.
There are two low camp beds in the back tent, one is for Ji Chan's own use, and on the other bed there is an old man with a pale face sitting on it, closing his eyes and meditating.
Ji Chan didn't dare to disturb the old man, so he just put on his clothes and lay down to rest.
In the past few days, in order to defend against night attacks by Meng Yang, a former bandit in Tonghe Prefecture, he rested during the day and stayed up all night.

Tonghe City, South Gate.
Ji Chan only has 3,000 troops. He blocked the north gate of Tonghe City because of his strong combat power. However, it is obviously unrealistic for him to divide his troops to block other gates of Tonghe City. Therefore, there are still merchants at the south gate of Tonghe City. Entrance and exit inspections are only ten times stricter than usual, and large groups of vehicles and horses are not allowed to approach.
At this moment, there was a group of more than a hundred people in casual clothes, standing outside the south gate, waiting for people from Tonghe City to come out to meet them.
"General Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you! We look forward to the general's arrival, just like a land that has been dry for a long time looks forward to sweet rain. Meng is incompetent in the battle formation, and he really deserves the great trust he has placed in the general." Meng Yang rushed out of the city gate first and saw After seeing Lin Ji, he jumped off his horse first and walked up to the front road with a smile.
This was not the reinforcements he asked for, but Lin Ji took the initiative to send someone to notify him and asked him to come out of the city to greet him to avoid misunderstanding.
"Haha, what did General Meng say? There are shortcomings and strong points. General Meng's martial arts skills are bound to be deficient in other aspects. Lin is not talented. He has some knowledge of the way of fighting formations. So, The general asked me to come here to preside over military affairs, and I also ask General Meng for your support."
"Of course. Meng, the defeated general, obeyed General Lin's orders. Even if General Lin asked Meng to charge into the battle with a sword, Meng would never say anything." Meng Yang said in a deep voice.
"General Meng's words are serious, but please keep it secret. Don't let the Chu army know that Tonghe City has changed its commander. The army will arrive soon." Lin Ji warned.
"Follow Commander Lin's order!" Meng Yang was so happy that he even called Lin Ji "Commander Lin".
Although this confidentiality measure was to catch Chu Jun off guard, was it not an opportunity for him to restore his reputation?
When the day of great victory comes in the future, whether I am saying that my defeat was out of arrogance of the enemy and that I obeyed General Lin's orders, or that I have learned from the pain and learned my lesson, I will also have the merit of command in this great victory. This can deceive many people.

Mingcheng.
"Oh, the Lu Wu army has arrived in Mengtong County?"
Qu Dazhong frowned and was a little disappointed when he heard that the detective had come to report.
"Exactly, the deer thieves mobilized an army of 430,000, claiming to be 500,000. Now they have reached Mengtong, thirty-nine miles away from Tonghe Prefecture."
The Chu State has occupied the three southern prefectures for more than thirty years. In addition, the elite spies of the Chu State are of a higher level than Lu Wu's spies who were temporarily promoted from the army and the Jianghu people. Therefore, Qu Dazhong's side did not even use the actual The strength of the troops can be found.
"Is there any news about Lu Wu?" Qu Dazhong asked.
"General, no one has seen Lu Wu during this period. There is no news about Lu Wu from either Qian Yingzheng or Ying Ci."
Qian Ying is the commander of the spy camp, responsible for breaking into the enemy's rear to gather information; Shadow Assassin is a secret agency directly under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu. He once received a mission to look for opportunities to assassinate Lu Wu, but never found the opportunity.
The two parties are independent of each other and their news channels do not overlap.
Since there is no news about Lu Wu from both parties, I'm afraid things may have changed.
After Tan Ma retreated, Qu Dazhong sat behind the long eucalyptus and thought for a moment: "I didn't expect that Lu Wu was much more careful. Will he be among the army?"
If he were among the army, how would he direct this war? Or take the lead and break through the formation? Ji Chan's portion was not enough. It seemed that he was waiting for me to appear in front of the battle.
But if he was not among the army, where would he be?
If he was near Tonghe Fucheng, why didn't he take action and eat Ji Chan's three thousand troops? But watching Meng Yang lose in defeat? But Grandmaster Boyang was left waiting in vain.
If he is not near Tonghe Fucheng, then where is he?
Cut off my food supply?
I only need to transport grain for three days at a time, so it doesn't matter if I lose the grain truck three or five times. Moreover, five large warehouses have been built in Ming City to provide food for the entire army for a month.
Take Mingcheng directly?
This kind of good thing will not happen. If he single-handedly seizes the city, it will be too late for me to rejoice.
