More than 10,000 Qin soldiers took advantage of the situation and refused to give up. One hundred thousand Wei soldiers were so excited that they had not slept all night. Now they were extremely tired. They were killed by the Qin cavalry and lost their helmets and armor, and retreated continuously.

"Send the order! Chase him as far as one house at most, and prevent the Wei army from fighting to the death!" Chen Ping shouted while holding back his horror.

"promise!"

The cavalrymen on the left and right nodded knowingly.

An ordinary defeated army would just run away as hard as possible and let the enemy chase and kill them one by one.

But the Western Wei army, tired and retreating, actually fought back and took advantage of the Qin soldiers' carelessness and stabbed hundreds of Qin people to death.

Chen Ping and the Qin soldiers even had some suspicions that the retreat of the Western Wei soldiers was a ploy to lure the enemy.

Before reaching Yishe, Chen Ping was extremely confused and did not dare to pursue him any further. He led the Qin soldiers to turn around and return to the city in a hurry.

When Chen Ping returned to Yueyang City, Wang Xiang, who was unconscious on the ground, was nowhere to be seen.

"Ha... you run really fast." Chen Ping said with a smile, "I hope you don't get discovered by Wei Wangbao."

"Assuming no."

Fu Kuan lay on the top of the city and looked into the distance, and said calmly, "Wang Xiang was a confidant of King Bao of Wei in the early days and lived in Pingyang, the capital of Wei for a long time. After he returned, he could blame the failure of this battle on the lack of cavalry in the Western Wei Dynasty and the lack of cavalry in the Qin Dynasty.

A strange weapon."

Chen Ping raised his head and squinted at Fu Kuan, especially wary. If Wang Xiang hadn't informed Li Shang of his current situation, Fu Kuan might have defected long ago.

Just a little bit different...

"Commander Fu knows that Wang Xiang doesn't want King Bao of Wei to win. Don't you suspect that what he said about Li Shang's situation is also false?" Chen Ping asked. At this moment, the Wei army has withdrawn. When the army returns to the city, there is no harm in secretly assassinating Fu Kuan.

"Mr. Xincheng returned to Wei, but he did not take the vanguard in this battle. You may not be happy with your situation. Wang Xiang's words should be taken as true." Fu Kuan replied.

Chen Ping was almost amused by Fu Kuan's words. Fu Kuan dared to reply like this, which was acknowledging that he was hesitating between choosing Qin or Wei just now.

This was the first time he saw someone speaking so straightforwardly, and he immediately became interested.

"Li Shang led thousands of people to join Liu Bang, attacked Changshe, took the Feng clan, fought in Luoyang, and pushed to Xianyang. When Liu Bang granted him the title of queen, Li Shang returned to Wei. King Bao of Wei was dissatisfied, which was also true.

"That's right." Chen Ping said with a smile, "If Commander Fu returns to Wei now, he will be a great contributor to King Bao of Wei. But unlike Li Shang, he will definitely be put into great use by King Bao of Wei. Don't miss this opportunity."

"Doctor Chen's words are wrong." Fu Kuan shook his head slightly, "Even close ministers will use tricks to cheat defeat on the battlefield. I think King Bao of Wei also treated his ministers poorly. This alone is not a reason for me to return to Wei.

."

Fu Kuan suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, although Doctor Fu's tactics are cunning, he really hopes to serve Qin, and he will definitely be used by someone else someday."

"Haha...Commander Fu has a good opinion. Then we will wait for this doctor to return to the city and then discuss a plan to retreat from the enemy." Chen Ping smiled and rode into the city.

Fu Kuan killed "Liu Bang", betrayed his own soldiers, and defected to Qin, and now he almost turned against him in the face of battle. Such a duplicitous man, someone else would have killed Fu Kuan long ago.

But Chen Ping likes to deal with such "simple" people the most. The one who sells and becomes simple means that the one who conquers is also simple.

"There is no harm in being loyal or traitorous. If he can be used by me, he is a good general. It would be better to keep this person here so as to warn the king." Chen Ping thought to himself.

"The army of one hundred thousand has been defeated. Even if Wang Xiang does not stop him, King Bao of Wei will not move his troops within a few days. Da Qin... still has a chance."

...

To the north of Yueyang, outside Yishe.

Wang Xiang counted his troops and set up camp where he was.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This Han Xin has some tricks up his sleeve. Although he returned in defeat, the casualties of the army were not even in the thousands, but he was able to train such Wei soldiers. I'm afraid that Sun Tzu could only be like this in his lifetime, right?" Wang Xiang was embarrassed in the nearby camp.

road.

Li Shang, who had appeased King Bao of Wei, pushed back the curtain and walked in with an ashen complexion, "Han Xin is far more powerful than this."

"What?" Wang Xiang looked tense, "Could he take this opportunity to enter Qin, take over the army, and completely make the king think that we are incompetent?!"

"Commander Wang's thinking is too simple." Li Shang knelt down in front of Wang Xiang and sighed, "Your Majesty is very angry after today's defeat. He originally wanted to attack Yueyang tomorrow. My army is not motivated. Although we have the strength to win, we cannot attack in a hurry.

For reasons of admonishment, who knows..."

"What is the king's plan?!"

Wang Xiang asked anxiously. He knew that Han Xin would not easily enter the Qin Dynasty outside the Hangu Pass. But it was not easy to let an army that was bound to win defeat the battle without being punished.

Today, we can still use strange weapons as an excuse. If Wei Wangbao attacks in a hurry, he will have to think of a way to deal with the strange weapons in a short time. If he falls twice in the same place, it is the fault of his tactics, not Han Xin's tactics.

past fault.

"Alas, the king opened Han Xin's first tip bag." Li Shang said with frustration, "The king plans to divide tomorrow into five days, and each party will send 20,000 troops to attack the city in turn. Chen Ping still has the upper hand, and Chen Ping has to attack the city every day.

The Japanese army will deal with it, and after five days, a hundred thousand troops will mobilize to attack the Qin army, and they will definitely win with one blow."

"Twenty thousand? Five days? Ha..." Wang Xiang suddenly smiled, "Wouldn't that be more in line with our wishes? The fewer troops we use, the more reason we have to defeat. A hundred thousand army is not easy to defeat, and two

But everything is different, it’s just five excuses.”

Wang Xiang believed that with Chen Ping's ability to see through his mind at a glance, he could deal with these 20,000 people without his help.

"But the key is... Han Xin's plan was originally a 'tiring the enemy to test' strategy! He let the captain lead the troops, without the need for a commander!" Li Shang clenched his fists tightly and said angrily.

"This..." Wang Xiang was speechless for a moment and froze on the spot.

As long as a hundred thousand troops are in Qin, even if Chen Ping mobilizes the garrison from various counties to Yueyang, he will not be a match for the Wei army.

This plan was feasible, but Wang Xiang couldn't figure out how Han Xin came up with it.

"Could it be that he guessed that you and I would obstruct it?" Wang Xiang murmured. "This is not simple. Just by looking at this plan, Han Xin even knew what Commander Li said to persuade the king."

"Don't think too highly of him." Li Shang shook his head and said, "If he really had extraordinary abilities, Han would not be in a stalemate with Chu. Han Xin had already achieved great success by attacking two countries in a row. If he really had extraordinary abilities,

If you understand people's hearts, how can you monopolize two skills?"

Wang Xiang suddenly realized that what Li Shang said made some sense, but he really couldn't guess Han Xin's intention.

Li Shang also covered his head, closed his eyes and thought deeply, puzzled for a long time.

"Did the old man named Kuai next to him come up with the idea?" Wang Xiang said suddenly.

"Definitely not! With Kuai's ability to read people's hearts, there will definitely not be such a big loophole in this plan."

A familiar voice came, and the messenger opened the camp curtain with a smile on his face and entered.

"..."

Li and Shang wanted to speak, but suddenly realized that they still didn't know this person's name.

"Little sir, why did you say this? Is there a way to deal with it?" Li Shang didn't bother to ask at the moment and continued to know the solution.

"If you, young gentleman, can help us two in this battle, I will give you a hundred gold coins as a thank you after the war!" Wang Xiang said anxiously.

"Haha... Help? Help for what? Help you two traitors?" The messenger laughed, "If the Western Wei wins this battle, most of the northern world will belong to the King of Wei. Why should the two commanders care about the greater good for a small grudge?"

"That's not the case!" Li Shang rolled his eyes and said, "Xiang Yu had already said that Ziying must die in his hands. The King of Wei was deceived by Han Xin. If the King of Wei conquers Qin, he will wait until Xiang Yu pacifies Qi, and his next target will be

Even in the Western Wei Dynasty, we can be considered as sharing your worries."

"Uh... Exactly." Wang Xiang nodded repeatedly, "We have both selfish and public motives for this matter! Now that the two kingdoms of Zhao and Zhao have been divided, the best goal of the Western Wei Dynasty is to attack Qin.

The next best thing!"

"That's it." The messenger smiled playfully, "The two commanders have served the country so well, so I will do my best."

The messenger, with his hands cut behind his back like an experienced soldier, circled around the two of them, facing away from the excited two.

"The two commanders didn't think of a way to deal with it, just because they didn't think of one thing." The messenger said.

"What's the matter?!" Wang Xiang was impatient.

"That is - the king will really be obedient to Han Xin? He has never been at all repelled or disgusted in his heart?" the messenger asked.

"This... the king allows him to lead a large army to attack other countries, so he trusts him very much." Wang Xiang frowned in confusion.

"No, your Majesty is just considering Han Xin's ability to lead troops." The messenger smiled and waved, "Now that the Yin Kingdom has been conquered, Changshan has been divided, half of Han City is in the hands of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the King of Wei does not cultivate and thrive.

But you are still eager to attack Qin, why is this?"

"No king thinks that the territory is too big. Attacking Qin while Ziying is away is a God-given opportunity." Li Shang said.

"This is one of them." The messenger said, "Among the nine states, the richest places are in Hancheng, Changshan, and Qi. The land of Qin is barren, but they conquered it first, just for one thing - to avoid disaster!"

"Avoid disaster?" Li Shang had some understanding.

"Only Qin can seclusion to attack the princes of the world. The two commanders must know that Hangu Pass was still part of the Wei State at that time. The Lord of Wei needs to know the importance of this pass more than the princes of the world." The messenger said, "Henan State

It is also in the king's plan, and now Henan is set up and Han Xin is transferred, just for this war."

"But... what does this have to do with Han Xin?" Wang Xiang asked.

"Of course it's related, because Han Xin... thinks so too! And the king is also wary of Han Xin!" The messenger smiled evilly, "No matter how much you trust someone, if the power is too great, the king will feel uneasy. This is

A common problem among kings."

As soon as he said this, Wang Xiang gradually smiled.

"What do you mean, Mr. Xiao, by letting us drive a wedge between the king and Han Xin? In this way, we don't need to stick to the success or failure of the war against Qin?" Wang Xiang asked.

"It's not about alienation, it's about telling the truth." Li Shang fully understood what the messenger said, "Zhou Wenshunqi passed by Hangu Pass, and when Xiang Yu stormed Hangu Pass, Yingbu and that man also raided the valley and passed by. Han Xin was able to

No less than these two people, they led their troops to surround Han Valley and did not enter, but instead came up with some delaying plans for the king. He...could he be waiting for something?"
