General Qin

"Chu General Xiang Qu was infected with the wind and cold, so it is difficult to lead the troops to fight?"

"So the tens of thousands of Chu troops can only retreat to Fulisai, and dare not set up camp on the west bank of Sui River to confront our army?"

In the camp of the Qin Army outside Zhuyi City, when Zhao Tuo heard the news that the scouts had worked so hard to find them back, his first reaction was a little dazed.

Chu general Xiang Qu.

Isn't this the big man from Chu State who "shake hands cordially" with Zhao Tuo in the Qin Palace?

It's really a narrow road for enemies.

It's just that this guy has such a strong body, why did he get a cold?

Zhao Tuo was a little puzzled, but it was really hard to say.

After all, it was winter, and the wind was blowing on the banks of the Sui River, so it was quite normal to catch the wind and cold by accident.

Many soldiers in the Qin army camp were infected with the wind and cold. As soon as Zhao Tuo received the report, he immediately ordered these sick Qin soldiers to be gathered alone in a military camp and separated from ordinary soldiers to avoid contagion. Phenomenon.

In addition to ordinary soldiers, there was even a general at the military rank in the Qin army who was recruited and moved to Zhuyi City to be treated and cared for by doctors.

Qin Jun was like this, and Chu general Xiang Qu accidentally contracted the cold, which is also plausible. It can only be said that he is really unlucky.

"Let me just say, why those Chu people gave up Zhuyi directly, burned the food and ran away, and they didn't dare to fight with our army. It turned out that some kind of Xiangqu was infected with the wind and cold. Hahaha, what if he died directly in the It's fun to be on the wind and cold." Heihip laughed, and his words were full of ridicule.

Others had excited expressions on their faces. The enemy general was sick. This was an opportunity.

"In the past, the general didn't want to cross the Sui River and go south because he was afraid that the Chu army would block it. Our army had to fight the Chu army to cross the river, and he was afraid that the other party would come and attack him halfway across the river. Now that Chu general Xiang Qu is sick, and the Chu army has all shrunk. Near Fulisai, there is no one on the west bank of the Sui River, so our army can cross the river smoothly and go straight to the heart of Chu, and make a great contribution in one fell swoop!"

A soldier said excitedly.

Even the captains Shejian and Zhao Guang were moved.

"If our army can cross the Sui River and go south, and break into the hinterland of Chu, Xiang Yan's army in the Huaibei battlefield will be defeated, and the general will find a chance to wipe him out in one fell swoop. In this way, our army will be the first to win. Staying here and fighting against the Chu people will give you even more merit."

It's not that the two of them never thought about the possibility of General Chu Xiang Qu pretending to be sick.

But whether it is a real illness or a fake illness, the current situation is indeed that the Chu army has shrunk to Fulisai, and there is no defense on the west bank of the Suishui River. The Qin army can easily cross the river and reach the other bank. This is an opportunity!

On the other side, even if the enemy really has some tricks, they firmly believe that under the leadership of Zhao Tuo, the fighting power of the Qin army will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army in Fu Lisai and win a big victory!

All the generals under his command were gearing up, but Zhao Tuo was not interested.

Why would he take a risk when he is clearly in a situation where he is sure to win by sitting here?

Just to make a big contribution?

Zhao Tuo defeated the 100,000 Qi army in Zhencheng, and his meritorious deeds have already been softened.

Not to mention that after a few months, the Chu army will collapse on its own if it can't be exhausted. At that time, he will move his army and come to a chase to the north, and he will also get a lot of military merits. Why go out in this winter Looking for a cold wind to blow.

When it comes to military struggles, stability is the top priority.

This is the essence of General Wang's tactics.

Zhao Tuo rejected the proposal of the generals to cross the river and attack.

What's more, when he thought of Xiang Qu's name, the big figure he saw in the Qin Palace back then appeared in his mind.

He has a majestic appearance, is eight feet tall, and has muscles all over his body. At first glance, he looks like a mighty general. His physical fitness is not known how good it is.

Even if this kind of person has a cold, will he really be unable to get out of the couch, and let the army under his command give up guarding the banks of the Sui River and give the Qin army a chance to cross the river?

Could it be too coincidental, too deliberate?

Zhao Tuo's heart moved, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"You can send someone to spread a message among the Chu people, saying that I, Zhao Tuo, also contracted the cold and can only rest on the couch and cannot lead the army."

"Let them pass on the news, and let the Chu people on the other side of the Sui River know."

...

"Zhao Tuo caught the cold?"

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

When the news that Qin general Zhao Tuo was infected with cold and unable to stay and move around reached the Chu army camp in Fu Lisai.

Chu Jiang Xiang Qu and Jing Tong stared at each other for a moment, speechless.

After a while, Jing Tong said: "I heard that when Zhao Tuo was inspecting by the Suishui River, the cold wind blew, and he couldn't get out of bed the next day."

"It deserves it, it's better to catch a cold and die!"

Xiang Qu cursed, but his expression was cloudy.

He originally wanted to release the news that he was infected with the wind and cold, so as to induce Zhao Tuo to put down his guard so that the Qin army could cross the river. Who would have expected that Zhao Tuo not only didn't move, but also announced that he had contracted the wind and cold. Isn't this too coincidental?

"Zhuzi pretends to be sick!"

"He's pretending to be sick!"

Xiang Qu and Jing Tong looked at each other, and then they both spoke, and the main character in the words was that Qin general Zhao Tuo.

"This son is as cunning as I am pretending to be ill. Could it be that he saw my trick of seduction and knew that I was deliberately leading him across the river?" Xiang Qu's thick eyebrows frowned.

Jing Tong thought for a while and said, "This son of Zhao Tuo is indeed very resourceful. He declared the cold to the public, which should be in response to your illness, General. Presumably, he saw through the general's trick of pretending to be sick and deliberately teased us."

"Damn it, if I catch him, I'll have to tear this stick off."

Xiang Qu cursed angrily, the good plan he had racked his brains to come up with was actually seen through by the other party, and he was full of injustice.

After scolding, Xiang Qu was full of unwillingness.

"Since this Zhao Tuo has seen through my tricks, I can't fool him. Then I won't play tricks with him. I will directly write a letter to invite a fight, and see how this person responds!"

Jing Tong opened his mouth, but looked up at Xiang Qu, seeing that he was anxious, so he could only sigh secretly, and closed his mouth again.

After this period of contact, he has already discovered that this General Xiang, in his normal state, is still a little tricky, can take care of the overall situation, and has the demeanor of a general.

It's just that he has a rather impatient temper. Once things encounter setbacks, he tends to become irritable.

Inexplicably, Jing Tong always thought of Zuo Sima who committed suicide in Surabaya.

...

"Xiang Qu invited me to lead an army across the river to fight him?"

Zhao Tuo took the silk book sent by the envoy from Chu, scanned it once, and couldn't help laughing.

At the beginning of the letter, Xiang Qu, the general of Chu, recalled the "friendship" between him and Zhao Tuo in Xianyang, then praised Zhao Tuo's feats in the battlefield of Qidi, and finally expressed his hope to be fair to Zhao Tuo at the end of the letter. A battle, a showdown of desire.

"The Chu army promises not to launch an attack while our army is crossing the Sui River, and let our army choose a place to fight him on the west bank of the Sui River, just like those nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period. Everyone set up a position and fight a fair battle. Hehe, this one is quite interesting."

Zhao Tuo shook the silk book, and smiled to the generals on the left and right: "You were thinking of taking advantage of the other party's illness to cross the river, have you seen it now? This General Xiang is a good at pretending to be sick. He is fishing. , I just wanted to fish you across the river."

The generals said in embarrassment: "The general is wise, how can the general of Chu deceive the general with his little treachery."

Heizhi was puzzled again: "Why did Xiang Quzhuzi think of tricking us across the river, when he was so sure of defeating us on the other side of the river?"

Zhao Tuo laughed.

"I don't know what Xiang Qu thinks, but... Ah Wan, write a reply letter to General Xiang for me."

"Let's just say that my wind and cold are not good, and the wind can't blow. I'm afraid I won't be able to lead the army across the river. I can only apologize to General Xiang. By the way, I also want to express my admiration in the letter. General Xiang was caught by the wind and cold. I recovered, and I can only rest on the couch, General Xiang's body is really enviable."

...

"Zhao Tuo, how dare you mock me in your letter!"

In the camp of the Chu army, Xiang Qu was furious with the reply letter. With both hands, he tore the silk book in half on the spot and threw it on the ground.

Jing Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "General, don't get angry. In my opinion, Zhao Tuo probably made up his mind not to cross the river. No matter what we do, he will not cross the Sui River."

After Xiang Qu finished cursing, he narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Not necessarily, this son is young after all, and the young man's blood is just at the age of impulsiveness. Since he is invited with good words and he doesn't come, then I will send someone to humiliate him and kill him." Get excited. This Zhao Tuo occupies a high position at such a young age, if he insults him with evil, he will definitely be furious, and then we will be waiting for the opportunity to fight!"

Xiang Qu's radical method is not nonsense, because the values ​​​​of this era are like this.

Dignity is very important in this era.

A casual word of swearing is probably at the price of life.

Men are hot-blooded, even low-level rangers often disagree with each other and draw their swords to each other.

This is the so-called blood splatter five steps when everyone is angry.

For nobles in high positions, no one will allow anyone to insult them.

For example, when Zhao Tuo was chased by Zuo Sima Zhaoping, he left messages and insults all the way, making Zhaoping furious, wishing to kill Zhao Tuo as soon as possible, which led to him being dazzled by anger and making a series of wrong decisions. The Chu army was defeated in Surabaya.

So Xiang Qu also planned to send someone to insult Zhao Tuo, arouse his youthful blood, and lead his troops across the river to fight him in anger.

Following General Xiang's military order.

On the opposite side of Zhuyi, in the Sui River, several small boats carrying many Chu people approached Zhuyi on the opposite bank.

Those Chu people who were carefully selected with loud voices saw that the distance was almost the same, and the sentinels of the Qin Army on the other side were also approaching, so they let go of their voices and shouted.

"Zhao Tuo is a shy son, as timid as a mouse, shrinking his head like a turtle!"

"The Qin army is a coward. They only dare to huddle together in the camp to keep warm. How weak they are!"

"What about Shejian, Zhao Guang, Xiqigu, a group of turtles, pigs and dogs, if you dare to come out, I will cut off your heads one by one with a sword!"

"Black buttocks, black buttocks, if you have the ability to show your ass, I will stick you to death with a bamboo pole! Your buttocks will be covered with bamboo!"

...

"Wow... Naigong is so mad!"

In the Qin camp, Heizhi was furious and shouted: "General, they are scolding you, let me lead my troops over there, and cut off the heads of these scorpions, Nai Gong must cut off their tongues."

Although She Jian, Zhao Guang, Xi Qigu and other generals who were named and insulted by the Chu people did not speak, they all looked ugly.

Reputation and dignity are the most important in this era, especially no matter what their origins are, they are now in high positions and have thousands of soldiers under them. Those Chu people insulted these senior generals in front of many Qin soldiers. If you don't move, then your dignity will really be swept away.

Zhao Tuo glanced at the expressions of the generals, not only not angry, but laughed out loud.

Heihou said anxiously: "General, they scolded you in public, why are you still laughing?"

Does this General Zhao still like to be scolded?

Only then did Zhao Tuo's smile lessen, and he shook his head and said with a smile: "What are you scolding me for, don't you see it? He's in a hurry!"

"I'm in a hurry for that."

"That's why I disregarded my status and made this terrible plan. I wanted to provoke you and so on, and led the army across the Sui River to fight him to the death."

The generals nodded silently, and they could see what the Chu people were thinking, but was it just that they were going to be scolded with their heads pressed like this, and they couldn't fight back?

"General, what do you say? I want to cut off their tongues!"

Black Butt said with gritted teeth.

Zhao Tuo didn't get angry, instead he said with a smile, "It's just a few words of scolding, why get so angry and cut off someone's tongue, it's too violent."

"These Chu people have mouths to scold you, don't you have tongues? Go find some soldiers with loud voices and scold them."

"By the way, our army is yelling here, but the general can't hear it. Heizhi, you lead people to yell along the river, especially the Sui River in the section of Fu Lisai. Use your voice to greet that 'resourceful' General Xiang."

"Oh, didn't we make a speaker that can amplify the sound in Weidi before? You ask the craftsmen in the city to make some, and use that thing to swear, so that the other party can hear clearly."

"Quack quack, general, my General Zhao!"

Heihip laughed wickedly, and dozens of lines to greet General Xiang's family had already appeared in his mind.

On this day, on both sides of the Sui River, foul language was flying all over the sky.

Thousands of Qin and Chu soldiers scolded each other across the water, and the scolding was endless...

We will start adding updates on the 21st day after tomorrow!
