Hu Hai

The [-] Qin army marched towards Xianyang City like a raging flood. Prince Dan and Sima Shang sat in the tents of the allied army camp, watching the news that the scouts sent back to the Qin army, feeling very complicated.

Prince Dan raised his voice in embarrassment and annoyance: "What does the commander of the Qin Army, Wang Jian, mean? In front of our army, he actually transferred four generals and a hundred thousand troops to escort two half-sized children back to Xianyang? Put me in your eyes!"

Sima Shang glanced at Prince Dan, disdainful in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, only mentioning the situation on the battlefield.

He tried his best to keep his voice steady and said: "The middleman has already found out the news among the Qin army. The young son of King Qin is naughty. He stole his letter and left the palace to catch up with Mr. Fusu. The situation of the battle is not yet clear, King Qin How could it be possible to allow such an important thing to be caught by a child on the battlefield? It is only reasonable to send a large army to escort Xinyin and the two young masters back to the court."

Prince Dan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately said: "Letter seal? This can mobilize all the troops and horses of Qin State, and can order all places to open the city gates. Can we send Qingqi to stop them on the road? As long as we get this letter seal However, the entire Qin army is still our opponent, let alone retreating, we can directly destroy Qin State!"

Sima Shang's contempt for Prince Dan was even heavier in his heart, and he was absolutely sure that this old prince had never had any military affairs.

He directly waved his hand to interrupt Prince Dan's delusion, pointed to the map and said: "How does the prince plan to break through the 30 Qin army blocking the Yishui River, go straight to the Qin border, intercept the two sons of Qin State, snatch the letter of the King of Qin, and then control the entire Qin State?" National Army?"

Prince Dan blushed, and hurriedly waved his hands to admit his mistake: "It's Yan Dan's whimsical idea. I also asked General Sima to be the coach and only knows the battlefield. Yan Dan will never command indiscriminately."

"The prince has a big heart, and it's because Sima Shang is too impatient to say anything." Sima Shang took advantage of the opportunity and stepped down the steps given by Prince Dan, easing the embarrassment between the two.

Sima Shang is very clear that the alliance between Yan and Dai is something that has to be done now. Qin and Zhao are deadly enemies to each other. The Yan army, which has a large number of soldiers, can be an ally, at least not when the current crisis is not over.

Yan State does not have any generals who can lead troops to fight. Therefore, Yan State also needs Sima Shang, a veteran who has been on the battlefield and has stable tactics.

Now Sima Shang also eased his emotions, and Prince Dan also quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction with the ridicule of a defeated general.

Prince Dan and Sima Shang looked at each other and smiled, but they both had their own calculations in their hearts - Wang Jian sent away more than half of the youngest and bravest generals so far, so even if there were 30 Qin troops left, as long as there were no generals who could Leading them, at least 30 of the 20 troops will follow Wang Jian, and the army will be trapped in the middle and cannot move.

In this way, it is unrealistic for Qin to attack Yan and Dai at the same time.

So if it was Wang Jian, who would he choose to attack first?

Sima Shang and Prince Dan looked at each other, thinking at the same time: It must not be me.

In the early morning of the second day, subtle changes had taken place in the arrangement of the three-way army of the Yan-Dai Allied Army. There was a problem as a reason, and all the Dai troops in the East Army were recalled to the West Army in an upright manner, so as to prevent the Qin army from coming straight to Dai.

Fusu looked at the battle report sent by Wang Jian, with a mocking smile on his mouth. After reading it carefully, he passed the battle report to Wang Ben, Li Xin, Zhang Han, and Yang Ruihe.

Li Xinxin is arrogant and arrogant, and he looks down on the generals who cannot trust each other the most. After spitting hard, he said loudly: "Sima Shang's original strategic arrangement reveals a guilty conscience of not knowing how the general is going to attack. Fortunately, the war has not started yet, the coalition forces have fallen apart, and the two countries are doing their own thing, seeking each other's interests. Bah! What about the coalition forces? I think they wish the other party would be wiped out first, so that they can escape disaster."

Fusu looked at Li Xin and knew that apart from the first battle of Chu State, this general had never been defeated, and he was a great rising star in Qin State.

He faced Li Xin with a gentle smile, and said in a steady tone: "General, since the Yan-Dai coalition forces have come to this point as General Wang Jian expected, we will return immediately and follow the general's arrangement."

Li Xin was about to agree with Fusu's words, but Wang Ben who had been silent all the way suddenly said: "Wait a few more days, the present is not a good time."

Li Si showed dissatisfied eyes, and immediately said, "Wang Ben, why is now not a good time?"

Wang Ben looked at Fusu, kowtowed his head respectfully, and then said: "Now is the time when Dai and Yan are on the strictest defense against our army. Since ancient times, there is a saying that 'one effort, then decline, and three are exhausted'. The food and grass of Yan and Yan are seriously insufficient. No matter whether they gather together or divide and rule, they feel that the army is next to each other and they are vigilant, so they strictly manage the army. Instead of suddenly using troops at this time, let the two countries work together to fight against Qin, it is better to wait. At some point, let Yan and Dai recall the long-standing enmity in the past, and let the conflict that was forcibly healed up be repeated, and the morale of the army will be unstable. In adversity, they will only celebrate each other, not help each other. Moreover, Yan State is the best at deceiving itself from top to bottom. After a while, after late autumn, the Yan army will feel lucky that the Qin army is not attacking Yan State, and then relax their vigilance. Our army will be able to attack them unprepared."

Li Xin thought about it, nodded after hesitating for a while, but his face showed a look of embarrassment.

Yang Ruihe was more straightforward than Li Xin. He said directly: "You are thinking well, but there are still five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, let alone late autumn-if we don't follow the general's previous arrangement , will definitely disturb the general’s arrangements.”

Fu Su thought for a while, and felt that although Wang Ben's idea was not as safe as that of General Wang Jian, it pointed more directly at the weaknesses of the two armies. He said, "There are still two days before the big battle that the general agreed to start. It's fast enough." Ma passed letters back and forth, but if the general disagreed, the generals had to take their soldiers to speed up the journey. If the four generals all think that General Wang Ben's idea is good, why don't I write a letter and write this The new idea is passed on to the general, and the decision is left to him."

Although Fusu has a military position, he is still the role of a military adviser this time. He has no actual position in the frontline war. Compared with the actual role, he is more like a mascot to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Naturally, he does not need to be like Li Xin and Wang Ben. There are many scruples like others.

Hearing Fusu's proposal, Wang Ben and the others exchanged glances, and Zhang Han said directly, "Your Excellency, please write for me!"

"It should be so." Fusu smiled slightly, quickly picked up a pen to sort out the considerations and suggestions of Wang Ben and the others, filled a brocade silk, sealed it and sent it back to the Chinese army camp.

Waiting makes people feel anxious. Even though they have gone to war many times, Wang Ben and the others still seemed out of their minds while waiting for the reply.

After a while, Zhang Han cupped his hands, got up and said, "Subordinates go down and arrange the formation for the night."

"Subordinates also go." Li Xin and Yang Ruihe said in unison.

Immediately, the three of them left the carriage hand in hand, leaving only Wang Ben, Fu Su and Hu Hai who was crouching in Fu Su's arms, shaking his head and reading the letter with a reluctant expression on his face.

Wang Ben looked at Hu Hai, who didn't show any intelligence and talent in Fusu's arms, and then looked at Fusu, the eldest son Fusu who was grand, broad-minded, literary and martial. Is the letter printed true?"

Fusu nodded and looked at Wang Ben with doubts in his eyes.

After hearing his question, Hu Hai not only didn't feel any guilt, but raised his head with a little complacency, and closed the letter with a sound of "Shuh!", and said with a smile, "I know exactly where Dad's things are, so they are easy to find. Very much."

Wang Ben looked at Hu Hai, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at Fu Su again, his eyes were deep, and his tone seemed to have deep meaning: "The king has never issued an order to reprimand Mr. Hu Hai. The king was not so ambiguous in rewards and punishments in the past." people."

Fusu immediately understood what Wang Ben meant by not being cryptic. He touched Hu Hai's head with a smile, and whispered into Hu Hai's ear, "Don't you want to try riding a horse? General Zhang Han is very good at riding and arching. Let him take you to play for a while."

Hu Hai smiled and nodded, got up as simple as his age, jumped out of the car, stepped on the side of the car and shouted: "General Zhang Han, take me to ride a horse! Brother said, you are the best at riding and shooting , Come and take me to ride a horse!"

Zhang Han frowned, and refused directly without thinking: "Mr. Hu Hai, don't mess around, how can you ride a horse at your age! Falling off a horse is no fun, otherwise you will be trampled by the horse and seriously injured."

Hu Hai pursed his lips and said unhappily, "No! I want to ride a horse! Big brother agrees!"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Hai turned around and pointed at the guard driving the car and ordered: "Pick me up."

The guard didn't know it, so he did it directly. Zhang Han also thought that after Hu Hai got angry, he turned to bully his subordinates like some incompetent noble son. His shoulders jumped directly towards him immediately!

"Master Hu Hai, be careful!!!" Zhang Han roared angrily, and hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug Hu Hai into his arms. He was so frightened that he clamped his lower body on the war horse, and his whole body became stiff.

Hu Hai proudly raised his neck, patted the armor on his chest, and said with a relaxed tone, "General Zhang Han's riding and archery skills are really good, um, big brother never lied to me."

Zhang Han cursed secretly in his heart, and had no choice but to hold Hu Hai in front of him. His arms holding the rein were so stiff that he didn't dare to move casually. Immediately fell to the ground and had an accident.

Fu Su and Wang Ben took this scene into their eyes together, Wang Ben frowned and said, "Master Hu Hai, why don't you suppress Hu Hai a bit? The king's love for Mr. Hu Hai is too much."
