Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 383 Suspected Soldiers

   Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, "Today we meet in front of him, and we are so close, can he believe that I really retreat?"

  Gouxi said confidently: "If you were a more cautious general, you might be suspicious, but for the King of the East Sea, I have the confidence to convince him that General Zhao will just take people back and wait for my news eighty miles away."

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

   She said with a serious face: "I will listen to the command of the general."

   Seeing Zhao Hanzhang so cheerful, Gou Xi narrowed his 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 the rule of Yuzhou. I don't want to expand the battle situation, so it is better to fight quickly. There are not many people who cross the river, so I will bring 2,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 infantry soldiers. I rush to the camp, if I can capture the East Sea King, it will be good, no, I can also block the people who are returning from Jiangzhong when they are retreating, and destroy the most living force of them."

Gou Xi couldn't help but look at her in surprise. Seeing her serious face, it was obvious that she planned to do so, and she couldn't help saying: "General Zhao has a good plan, this way, if we attack people who cross the river, we can at least stay there. Sixty percent."

   In this way, no matter how difficult it is for the East Sea King to make a comeback, he may even explain it here.

  Gouxi got excited, it was good to cooperate with smart people, he immediately finalized the battle plan, "That's it, to be specific, we will act according to the circumstances."

   Zhao Hanzhang responded with a smile and asked, "But I don't know who General Gou, who is crossing the river the other way, sent to lead the army, and how many people?"

   "10,000 people, I am leading the troops from my younger brother Gou Chun, can General Zhao rest assured?"

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled and was relieved.

  A young man came out behind Gou Xi, clasped his fist at Zhao Hanzhang and said, "Gou Chun, please give more advice from General Zhao."

   Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, when it comes to fighting, all the soldiers of our Yuzhou Army combined can't compare to General Gou, how can General Xiao Gou 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, the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard such words.

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

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

   Xun Xiu and the others were still a little panicked, and asked, "Your Majesty, are we going to do this to the King of the East Sea? Will the imperial court designate our Yuzhou army as traitors?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "What are you afraid of, the sky is falling and there is a high stare, General Gou has a close relationship with His Majesty, and has the emperor's secret edict in his hand."

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

   And the emperor denied the seal under the pressure of the East Sea King, although no one believed the emperor's words.

   But the sealed edict in Gou Xi's hand was fake when it was made public.

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Not to mention there is me, Gou Xi can't stand it, it's me who hits first."

   Xun Xiu and the others were relieved, not so anxious.

   Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Let's go, go back and prepare, everyone should leave the camp."

As she walked, she said to everyone: "We have a lot of people. I remember that it was outside Xuchang City, 80 miles away. We can't enter the city with so many people, but there is not such a big open space outside the city, and we still score several waves. , anyway, it won't be long before the war, let everyone squeeze the tent first, and then set up less tents..."

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

   Food and grass are a big deal, so the people immediately postponed the matter and talked to Zhao Hanzhang about the food and grass issue. Anyway, all the generals asked Zhao Hanzhang for food and grass.

   After all, she is now a prefect, and she should be responsible for food and grass.

   The group went back to the camp while talking, and Zhao Hanzhang ordered the camp to leave on the same day.

  The soldiers received orders. First, the soldiers in the tents on the farthest left the camp and headed for Xuchang. They would first station there, make the tents, and make sure that they were safe before the army came one after another.

   After all, there are more than 100,000 people, and Zhao Hanzhang can't always travel on the same day, so she ordered people to retreat.

   When the King of the East Sea on the other side noticed it, it was already the third day, and the camp of the Yuzhou Army was almost half reduced.

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

  All the soldiers bowed their heads. Originally, Luoyang fought for two consecutive years, and everyone was very tired. This time, they took the initiative to fight, but Gou Xi was the one who fought.

   The generals who were hanged and beaten by Gou Xi had no enthusiasm for fighting at all.

General    is like this, not to mention the soldiers, everyone is idle and lazy.

  The King of the East Sea frowned, "Didn't they just form an alliance two days ago, why did Zhao Hanzhang retreat at this time? Could it be that he is leading the snake out of the hole?"

   His generals were relieved when they heard him say this, and nodded immediately, indicating that they were all so suspicious, so it was better to remain silent at this time.

  The King of the East Sea also decided to stay put for the time being, and ordered: "Send someone out to check to see if they really retreated."

   But there is a river between them, and neither Gou Xi nor Zhao Hanzhang's scouts are vegetarians, and their people will be discovered as soon as they cross the river, okay?

   Don't mention bringing back news, it's just that there is no return.

  Although soldiers are not valuable, scouts with strong abilities are difficult to cultivate and are very valuable.

   Several generals blamed each other, and none of them wanted to take over this task.

  The King of the East Sea directly assigned someone to be in charge, and then he wanted to sit and wait for the news, but that night Gou Xi's army quietly crossed the river and launched an attack.

   The sudden scream of killing made the King of the East Sea terrified in his sleep. After reacting, he became furious and ordered: "Fight back, fight back! Leave all those who attacked to me!"

  Gouxi's people immediately retreated, and at this time a torch was lit on the other side, pointing out the direction for the people in the river.

  Because it was night, the people of the King of the East Sea did not dare to go down the river to chase, and that's how the people Gou Xi sent out also lost a lot.

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

   "Gou Xi started."

  Fu Tinghan frowned: "How many times does he take the soldiers' lives to lure the King of the East Sea?"

   "At least five times," Zhao Hanzhang said, "Gou Xi is too famous, and the King of the East Sea is not a fool. Unless Gou Xi gives me a knife in front of him, he will not believe that we will break up."

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled when he said this, and sighed sincerely: "Gou Xi's trick is really good. Unless he is a very patient veteran, it will be difficult for him to stand up to him like this."

Good night
