Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, "We met in front of him today and we were so intimate. Can he believe that I really retreated?"

Gou Xi said confidently: "A more cautious general might be suspicious, but for the King of East China Sea, I am confident that he will believe that General Zhao will just retreat with his men and wait for my news eighty miles away."

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

She said with a serious face: "I will follow the general's orders."

Seeing how happy Zhao Hanzhang was, Gou Xi narrowed her eyes and asked, "How many troops does General Zhao want to order to cross the river?"

Zhao Hanzhang pondered and said: "The other side of the river is also under my rule in Yuzhou. I don't want to expand the war situation, so it is better to fight quickly. There are not many people crossing the river, so I will bring two thousand elite soldiers and three thousand infantry. Wait for it." If I can capture the King of the East China Sea, it would be great if I charge into the camp, but if not, I can also block the people coming back from the river during the retreat and kill the most of their effective forces."

Gou Xi couldn't help but look at her in surprise. Seeing her serious face, it was obvious that this was her plan. She couldn't help but said: "General Zhao has a good plan. With this, we can attack everyone who crosses the river from both fronts and backs. At least we can leave them behind." Lower 60%.”

In this way, it will be difficult for the King of East China Sea to make a comeback, and he may even end up here.

Gou Xi became excited. It was good to cooperate with smart people. He immediately finalized the battle plan, "That's it. We will act according to the specific situation."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and agreed, and asked: "But I don't know who General Gou sent to lead the people who crossed the river on the other way, and how many people are needed?"

"Ten thousand people are led by my brother Gouchun. Can General Zhao feel relieved?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and felt relieved.

A young man came out from behind Gou Xi, cupped his fists at Zhao Hanzhang and said, "I'm Gou Chun, please give me some advice from General Zhao."

Zhao Hanzhang laughed hurriedly and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't take it. When it comes to marching and fighting, all the soldiers of our Yuzhou Army combined can't compare with General Gou. Why does General Gou need to ask me for advice?"

Zhao Hanzhang flattered Gou Xi, "General Gou is Han Xin of the Jin Dynasty."

Although Gou Xi was a strict and upright person, he couldn't help but curl up his lips when he heard such words.

The two of them discussed the battle plan and time, and Gou Xi left first.

Zhao Hanzhang led a group of soldiers to stand there and watch them leave.

Xun Xiu and others were still a little panicked and asked: "Your Majesty, are we going to attack the King of Donghai like this? Will the court label our Yuzhou Army as traitors?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. General Gou has a close relationship with His Majesty, and he has the emperor's secret edict in his hand."

Xun Xiu and others complained in their hearts, the emperor's secret edict was already known to the whole world, could it still be a secret edict?

Moreover, the emperor had already denied the secret edict under the pressure of King Donghai, although no one believed what the emperor said.

But the sealed edict in Gou Xi's hand was fake if it was revealed to the public.

Zhao Hanzhang: "Not to mention me. If Gou Xi can't withstand it, I will be hit first."

Xun Xiu and others felt relieved and were no longer so anxious.

Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Let's go back and get ready. Everyone should break camp and leave."

As she walked, she said to everyone: "There are many of us. I remember it was outside Xuchang City, which is eighty miles away. So many of us cannot enter the city, but there is not so much open space to camp outside the city, so we can still divide it into several waves." , anyway, there will be a war soon, so let everyone squeeze into the tents first, so there will be fewer tents..."

Xun Xiu and others felt that in order not to make the soldiers tired of fighting, they should try to make their lives as comfortable as possible. Just as they were about to persuade them, Zhao Hanzhang already said: "But the food cannot be less, and the supply of food and grass must be ensured..."

Food and grass was a big deal, so they immediately postponed the matter and talked about the food and grass issue with Zhao Hanzhang first. Anyway, all the generals asked Zhao Hanzhang for food and grass.

After all, she is now the governor, and she should be responsible for the food and grass matters.

The group returned to the camp while talking, and Zhao Hanzhang ordered to break camp and leave that day.

When the soldiers received the order, first the soldiers from some of the camps on the edge left their camps and headed towards Xuchang. They would station there first, prepare the camps, and only after they were sure it was safe, the army would come over one after another.

After all, with hundreds of thousands of people, Zhao Hanzhang could not travel on the same day, so she ordered people to retreat in an orderly manner.

By the time the King of Donghai on the other side noticed it, it was already the third day, and the Yuzhou Army's camp had been reduced by almost half.

He asked the general below, "You didn't know about such a big movement until now?"

All the soldiers bowed their heads. Luoyang had been fighting for two consecutive years, and everyone was very tired. This time, they took the initiative to fight again, and Gou Xi was the one who missed the fight.

The generals who had been beaten by Gou Xi had no enthusiasm for fighting at all.

The general is like this, let alone the soldiers. Everyone is lazy and lazy.

The King of Donghai frowned, "Didn't they just form an alliance two days ago? Why would Zhao Hanzhang retreat now? Could he be luring a snake out of its hole?"

When his generals heard what he said, they all breathed a sigh of relief and nodded immediately, indicating that they were all so suspicious that it was better to stay still than to move at this time.

King Donghai also decided to stand still for the time being and ordered: "Send people out to investigate to see if they have really retreated."

But there is a river between them. Gou Xi and Zhao Hanzhang's scouts are not vegetarians. Their people will be discovered as soon as they cross the river, okay?

Not to mention bringing back news, there was simply no return.

Although soldiers are not valuable, capable scouts are difficult to cultivate and are very valuable.

Several generals put the blame on each other, and none of them wanted to take over this task.

The King of Donghai directly assigned someone to take charge, and then he wanted to sit back and wait for the news. As a result, Gou Xi's army quietly crossed the river and launched an attack that night.

The sudden cry of killing frightened King Donghai in his sleep. When he realized what he was doing, he became furious and ordered: "Fight back, fight back! Let me keep everyone who attacks!"

Gou Xi's people immediately retreated. At this time, torches were lit on the other side of the river, pointing the direction for the people in the river.

Because it was night, the people of the King of the East China Sea did not dare to go down the river to pursue him. Even so, the people sent by Gou Xi also suffered a lot of losses.

When Zhao Hanzhang heard the scout's report, he nodded and said he understood, and asked the scout to step back and continue to stare.

"Gou Xi has started."

Fu Tinghan frowned: "How many times does it take for him to use the lives of soldiers to seduce the King of East China Sea?"

"At least five times," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Gou Xi's reputation is too great, and the King of Donghai is not a fool. Unless Gou Xi stabs me in front of him, he will not believe that we broke up."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled when he said this and sighed sincerely: "Gou Xi's suspicious tactics are really good. Unless you are a very patient veteran, it will be difficult for him to withstand his teasing."

Good night
