In June, the golden crow spreads across the sky and the scorching sun.

It was noon, and the sun was so hot that people were panicked. The leaves on both sides of the road were wilted, but the cicadas on the branches were connected together, making them even more loud, making people feel even more irritable.

On the official road, the army was marching rapidly.

This army was a large army led by Chunyu Qiong. He had already walked fifteen miles away from the camp of the army under Wang Lei.

The weather was hot and the soldiers rushed on their way, already exhausted.

However, Chunyu Qiong was eager to win and ordered the soldiers to continue their journey.

In this battle, Chunyu Qiong had 4,000 soldiers, composed of troops from each county, and each county raised one thousand soldiers. According to Chunyu Qiong's idea, he needed not much troops, only 3,000 people was enough. Chunyu Qiong's idea was to only bring 3,000 soldiers under Cai Jin, the county magistrate of Yuancheng County, to fight.

However, as soon as his proposal was said, it was immediately fiercely opposed by Cai Jin. No matter how Chunyu Qiong persuaded him, Cai Jin refused to agree.

In desperation, Chunyu Qiong asked Cai Jin for his opinion.

Cai Jin immediately proposed the suggestion that each county would raise one thousand soldiers, which was fair. The heads of each county thought that as long as he did not go to war, he simply agreed to Cai Jin's proposal, otherwise Cai Jin would make a fuss and his plan would be ruined.

In this way, Chunyu Qiong brought 4,000 soldiers to fight.

But the original intention of the four thousand soldiers and Chunyu Qiong was 108,000 miles apart. According to Chunyu Qiong's idea, he only led the three thousand soldiers of Yuancheng County. This is a whole army, easy to control and there will be no different orders. But the four thousand soldiers he led now are four forces, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of orders being enforced.

The four armies had different leading generals, which gave Chunyu Qiong a headache.

"Report!"

A general led the way and clasped his fists and said, "General, it's noon now, the weather is hot, and the soldiers are so depressed that they are not energetic after trekking. Let's take a break and leave. After all, we are rushing to the road in the sun. If we continue like this and arrive outside Wang Lei's large military camp, the morale of the army will definitely be depressed, and it will be easy to be attacked by people."

This person's name is Yan Xiong, and he is a lieutenant sent by the head of Qingyuan County.

The sound of horse hooves came, and another general ran towards him.

The man's name is Shen Xu, and he is the captain of the army in Guantao County. He rode his horse to Chunyu Qiong, and said with his fists: "General, the soldiers under my command can't stand the rushing and have fainted. The soldiers are so tired that they can't continue on their way. Please order the general to rest and let the soldiers breathe a sigh of relief."

Immediately, the captain of Pingen County came again and requested to stop moving forward for the time being.

This time, Chunyu Qiong is not easy to deal with.

Chunyu Qiong's eyes turned and said, "Sleep here. There is no water source nearby, nor does it block the sun. It is better to continue moving forward and look for water sources and shade while rushing. Once you find a place with water sources, we will rest on the spot, let the soldiers cool down by the water and make it convenient to replenish the water sources. What do you think?"

At this moment, Chunyu Qiong felt that he was very smart.

He actually wanted the soldiers to travel a little longer. According to the news sent back by the sentry, there was no place to replenish water within a radius of five miles, so he had to go at least another five miles.

Shen Xu smiled and immediately said, "General, walk two miles further forward, and there is a lotus pond not far from the official road. There are willow trees and open spaces, just right for lunch break."

brush!!

Chunyu Qiong's face turned dark in an instant. Why didn't he hear the news?

At this moment, Chunyu Qiong wanted to tear the whistle detective.

His mother's whistle detective is so incompetent!

Chunyu Qiong had already said something and could not take it back. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's move forward immediately and rest by the lotus pond two miles ahead."

Shen Xu and Yan Xiong looked at each other, and a hint of excitement appeared on their faces.

Finally ready to rest!

The army rushed toward the lotus pond two miles ahead.

...

Three miles southwest of the Lotus Pond, there is a peach forest.

Large areas of peach trees are full of fruits, but it is not the season to eat peaches now, so I can only enjoy the eyes. In the dense peach trees, under the peach trees, soldiers sit on the ground to enjoy the cool air.

These soldiers were all wearing the uniforms of the Jizhou Army and were soldiers under Guo Jia's command.

This army had about a thousand people, and the leader was a lieutenant.

"Report!"

A whistle siege ran over and reported respectfully: "Sir, Chunyu Qiong led his army to shift the original official road, heading northeast, and running towards the lotus pond three miles away from us. There was a wide willow forest and close to the lotus pond. Chunyu Qiong did this, and he must have wanted to rest. Beizhi believes that this is our opportunity to attack the other party, so please consider it."

The captain pondered for a while and ordered decisively: "Don't do it, this is our opportunity! We are ordered by the military advisor to intercept Chunyu Qiong here. When Chunyu Qiong comes, we will fuck him first."

After a pause, the captain said again: "Send someone to notify the military advisor immediately. I am going to attack Chunyu Qiong. If the other party is prepared, I will act according to the plan formulated by the military advisor; if Chunyu Qiong is not prepared, I will take the opportunity to defeat Chunyu Qiong in one fell swoop."

"yes!"

The whistle detective immediately went to send a message, and the captain conveyed orders to let the soldiers start to act.

...

The lotus pond is very wide, about thirty feet long and about ten feet wide. There are green lotus leaves in the wide lotus pond, one by one, and it is endless to see. The blooming lotus flowers stand beautifully, which is very beautiful.

Chunyu Qiong and his soldiers arrived at the edge of the lotus pond, and they felt relieved.

The breeze blows, with a slight fragrance of lotus flowers, refreshing the heart.

Chunyu Qiong asked the soldiers under his command to rest. After all, he was a veteran on the battlefield and would not let the soldiers ignore them.

Chunyu Qiong called the lieutenants of Yuancheng County, Qinghe County, Pingen County and Guantao County to his side, and ordered the four to select some soldiers to be on guard. The soldiers of each county were responsible for half an hour of alert, and the army rested here for two hours, and then continued to move forward after resting."

The heads of the four counties had no objection and quickly arranged the order and arranged their respective soldiers to prepare for alert.

Chunyu Qiong was not at ease and patrolled regularly.

After confirming that the soldiers were all careful, Chunyu Qiong came to the lotus pond and sat down under the willow tree to rest.

At this time, some soldiers couldn't help but take off their shoes and sit on the bank of the lotus pond to soak their feet. Some brave soldiers even took off their clothes quickly and jumped into the lotus pond to take a shower.

The soldiers had a lot of fun, but Chunyu Qiong frowned. He immediately stood up and stopped the soldiers and let the soldiers get ashore.

All the soldiers who went down to the lotus pond to take a bath were punished.

The lieutenants of each county wanted to persuade him, but Chunyu Qiong was the chief general who led the troops, and Chunyu Qiong was the one whom they were respected, let alone the small schools in the army, so the lieutenants of each county had to suppress their dissatisfaction and continue to rest.
