Xiangling.

This is a border town with a circumference of only fourteen miles and a population of only 40,000. Although it is not a great city, it is quite large.

More importantly, since Xiangling is an important town in the southern part of Wei State and the gateway to Daliang, although the city is not big, it is built very tall and sturdy, and a wide moat is dug around it, which is very dangerous.

At this time, Xiangling City was surrounded by 50,000 Chu Army groups and camped several times. It was really tight and it was hard to cross the birds.

Faced with a strong enemy, the five thousand Wei troops in Xiangling City could only resist and had no power to fight back. They only hoped that Anyi could send reinforcements early to retreat to the barbarian Chu.

...

Early that morning, the Chu army commander Jing She was promoted to the central army tent.

Jingshe was born in the Jing family, one of the three prominent families of Chu, and is currently the supreme commander of the Chu army, Grand Sima. He was ordered to go to the Wei State this time and was truly ambitious and vowed to give the world-famous Wei a little color.

Since entering the Wei realm, the scenery has been smooth sailing. In recent months, it has broken through six and seven frontiers in a row, and reached the city of Xiangling.

As long as Xiangling is broken, it will be a smooth journey to Daliang.

If he could even slam the Daliang, then his Jingshe would be famous all over the world, and the Wei Kingdom would also become a laughing stock in the world.

What is the most powerful country in the world? Even the new country has been occupied by others. It’s really a big laugh!

Thinking of the beauty, Jingshe almost laughed out loud. Of course, as the commander of the three armies, General Jing still had a solemn and majestic face.

"My generals," Jingshe glanced at the tent with great confidence: "If Xiangling has been surrounded by me, but Xiangling City is high and dangerous, and in the past three days, our army cannot capture it, would you have any good ideas?"

"Master Sima," said a general, "It is better to dig out the tunnel and penetrate the hole."

"Shit." Someone said disdainfully: "With such a wide moat, you can't get close to the city wall at all when you dig a tunnel."

"Isn't it enough to fill the moat first?"

"It's useless to fill it up. The soil is loose and the pit can't hold on at all."

...

For a moment, there was a quarrel in the tent. Jingshe was so troubled that he couldn't help but slam the table and said angrily: "Shut up, don't argue. Digging the tunnel is a bad idea, it's not feasible, think about it again."

"Master Sima," at this time, a young hero came out and said: "The last general thought that he could attack the three cities in the east, west and south in turn during the day to divert the attention of the Wei army, and then gather elite troops at night to raid the northern city, which may be successful."

"Well, you can try it." Jing She was not entirely a wise man because of her background. She was still a little real. After thinking about it, she felt that her idea was born and readily adopted it. Just as she was about to give an order, she heard someone outside the account report: "Report, report to Master Sima: The reinforcements of the Wei army are nearly fifty miles away, please order the order to be taken."

"Hiss——" Jing She was surprised when she heard this: "It came so fast. Can you tell who led the troops? How many people were there in total?"

"Return to Sima, the leader was Sun Bin, a military advisor of the Wei army, with a total of 20,000 Wei Wu soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers."

"Hiss--" Hearing that the enemy was the mighty Wei Wuxiong soldiers in the tent, the Chu generals in the tent suddenly felt their brains hurt and felt weak.

You should know that although the 50,000 Chu troops who invaded Wei this time were all elites from various tribes, their combat power was probably much worse than that of the famous Wei Wuzhang.

"Hmph, look at your little bit of guts!" Jing She said with a look of disdain: "The Wei State has been fighting for years, and the veterans of Wei Wuzhu have been almost exhausted. Now 80% are just a group of new troops. You are afraid of nothing. What's more, it's not that Pang Juan, but just a mere young son Sun Bin."

When the generals heard this, they were right and brave.

This is also because Sun Bin just was born, and his reputation was covered by Pang Juan's great military achievements. Therefore, not many people have truly realized that this is an enemy that is more terrifying than Pang Juan.

The people of Chu must pay the price for their frivolity and incompetence.

"Come, send an order: I won't attack the city today. The army will have a full meal at noon, and then line up in the north of the city to wait for the Wei army. Also, I will send an envoy to see Sun Bin immediately, and say that I will be the general in Xiangling City and ask him if he has the courage to compete." Jingshe was also cunning, but he was determined to wait for his work.

"Master Sima is very calculating. If Sun Bin dares to fight, we should wait for the effort, fight the weak with the masses, and teach him a lesson. If he does not dare to fight, it will just slash the spirit of the Wei army." When the Chu generals heard this, they were also flattered.

The scenery was very unsatisfied for a while.

But it is said that Sun Bin, after leaving Anyi, traveled day and night, leading his troops south.

At noon that day, Xiangling was finally in sight. Sun Bin was thinking that he could reach the city before sunset, but several robbers were escorting a Chu army scholar in front of him.

"Report, military advisor, we were probing the provoy in front of us and captured a Chu man who claimed to be a messenger sent by the Grand Sima Jingshe of the Chu army, and asked to see the military advisor."

"Oh," Sun Bin was stunned and thought to himself: What trick did Jingshe do? He pondered: "Bring people here."

"No." Immediately, the Chu army scholar was taken up.

"I'm Sun Bin, what's the matter with Jingshe?" Sun Bin said lightly.

"The villain Zheng Qiao is the counselor in the tent of General Jing, the Grand Sima of Chu, and has met Military Advisor Sun." When the scholar heard that the young man in front of him was Sun Bin, he did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly said respectfully: "My Grand Sima has a letter and ordered the villain to bring it to Military Advisor Sun. Please take a look." As he said that, he took a piece of silk from his arms and handed it on him.

A personal soldier took it and handed it to Sun Bin.

Sun Bin opened it and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Jing She beat him up in the letter, saying, "What a famous master, a famous master, a long time to admire the famous master, and so on, and then asked him to compete under the city."

It can be said that how could Jingshe hide his little thoughts from Sun Bin? He put down the silk, pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "You report to General Jing, and say that Sun Bin will arrive soon, so I'm sorry to him to wait."

"That villain took his leave." Zheng Qiao was overjoyed when he heard this and secretly despised him: He was a young man after all, and he couldn't hold back and was deceived with a little hand.

"Okay, I won't give it to you." Sun Bin waved his hand.

As soon as Zheng Qiao left, the two generals Banning and Li Yu who were following the army, heard the news and rushed over.

"Military advisor, what do you mean when I heard that Jingzhe sent someone to deliver the letter?" Banning was anxious and asked when he came up.

Sun Bin smiled and told Jingshe's letter.

When Li Yu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Military advisor, this thief clearly wants to take advantage of our distant fatigue and gain a stable foothold. I want to wait for the effort, so we must not be fooled."

"How can that work?" Banning said unconvincedly: "If we don't dare to fight, wouldn't we think we are afraid of the Chu army, which is very unfavorable to our morale. Besides, I, Wei Wuxiong, have been in the world, and have never been afraid of who will come? How could we be scared by a mere scenic spot!?"

"Brother Ba, be careful not to act irresponsible. We are not afraid of the Chu army, but we cannot go to work even though we know we are suffering. After resting for three or two days, the entire army will be able to accumulate strength and then decide the outcome with the Chu people."

Baning was not convinced and was about to refute, but Sun Bin smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, don't fight anymore. You still have to fight even though you know you have to suffer losses. That's stupid, but we can't show weakness, we have weakened our morale."

At this moment, Banning and Li Yu were both confused: "Military advisor, what should we do?"

Sun Bin smiled sinisterly: "Send the order: the army camps on the spot. Isn't that the scenic spot willing to wait? Let him wait slowly. Also, General Li, prepare a thousand light cavalry under your command and prepare more items to attract fire. At the third update, raid the Chu camp and set fire on me."

Banning, Li Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The military advisor is wise. It's hard to die if he meets a military advisor in Jingshe."
