Chapter 382 The Chu Army Escapes

Ever since the news came that Wei had defeated Qin and was advancing rapidly, Ling Yin Zhaoxishe, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, immediately realized that the war situation was about to change on a large scale.

The victory over Qin will not only make Wei's national power leap forward in the foreseeable future, but will also free up Wei's hands from the war in the west.

You must know that in order to attack the Qin State this time, the Wei State can be said to have made the greatest preparations. In addition to confusing the world's princes, they also mobilized a full 200,000 troops.

Once this elite group, which has just experienced a bloody battle, enters other battlefields, the originally gradually balanced war balance may be broken at any time.

After realizing this, Zhao Xixie was very energetic, always paying attention to every move of the Wei army in Daliang City.

However, the Wei army in Daliang City not only did not make any move, but everything was as usual.

This seemingly ordinary situation made the battle-hardened Zhao Xixie smell a little something wrong.

Rubbing the map with his fingertips, his eyes wandered over the cities around Daliang City. Suddenly he realized something, and a dangerous light flashed in Zhao Xixie's eyes.

"No, it's too wrong."

He moved his eyes away from the map in front of him and looked at Zhaoyang standing in front of him.

"Zhaoyang."

"The end will be here."

"Immediately select the most capable scouts from the army." With a serious expression on his face, Zhao Xixie drew an arc around Daliang City on the map with his fingers, "Let me explore along the west and south of Daliang City.

Once you find anything unusual, report it to me at any time."

Although he didn't understand why his grandfather was so cautious, Zhaoyang did not shirk the military orders at all.

"Follow orders."

After bowing slightly, Zhaoyang quickly exited the tent, leaving only Zhao Xixie with a solemn face at this moment.



South Korea, Sanji Castle.

Shanshi City was originally just a small city on the border between Wei and Han. Inconspicuousness and tranquility were the representative words of this place.

However, Shanshi City, which used to be peaceful in the past, became a little more noisy due to the arrival of a group of uninvited guests.

On the plains, the march of the army stirred up billowing smoke, and red military flags proclaimed the identity of this army.

"Hurry up……"

"The general has orders to arrive at Yuguan within three days."

The military orders that kept ringing in my ears were like the beating of war drums, motivating the Wei soldiers in the team to speed up their pace.

Looking down at the earth from the sky, the Wei army is like a giant red dragon flying across the plains.

The dragon's movement often attracts attention, but on a hillside not far from here, there are two pairs of eyes silently paying attention to everything.

"Captain, this is the Wei army." The young Chu army scout looked back from a distance, with a look of uncontrollable surprise on his face.

The obviously older scout captain at the side did not respond to the whispers beside him, but kept his eyes fixed on Wei Jun not far away.

It wasn't until a long time passed that the scout captain withdrew his gaze, and the words he spoke were involuntarily filled with fear.

"I didn't expect that the Wei army would go through South Korea in order to avoid our army."

"Fortunately, your Majesty Yin had the foresight to order us to conduct an investigation in the area west and south of Daliang."

"If no trace of the Wei army is found this time, I'm afraid our army will be in danger."

Listening to the sigh of the scout captain beside him, the Chu army scout beside him immediately understood the urgency of this matter.

Glancing at the Wei army not far away, he quickly suggested: "Captain, we must report the Wei army's movements as soon as possible."

"Um."

Nodding slightly, while watching Wei Jun in front of them warily, the two of them cautiously and slowly retreated behind them.

After confirming that there was no danger, the two of them accelerated and ran towards the war horses tied not far away.

"drive……"

Accompanied by a short sound of urging the horses, the horses under them raised their hooves, and the two people quickly broke away from the Wei army.

That is to say, not long after the two left, the movements of the Wei army were placed in front of Zhao Xixie.

When his eyes glanced at the seal characters on the silk book, a look as expected appeared on Zhao Xixie's face.

"Your Majesty, is the Wei army marching like this?"

Facing Zhaoyang's inquiry, Zhao Xixie's right index finger first landed on Daliang City.

Then under Zhaoyang's gaze, Zhao Xixie's right hand moved to the southwest, and landed on the Korean Sanshi City mentioned on the silk book just now.

Finally, Zhao Xixie's right index finger landed on a pass southeast of Shan's City.

"Yuguan? Yuguan!"

After muttering to himself several times and looking at the location of Yuguan and Daliang City on the map, Zhao Xishe immediately understood Wei Jun's intention.

"Ling Yin, is the Wei army planning to bypass our army's rear from South Korea and cut off our army's retreat route back to Chu?"

"Exactly."

Looking at the map in front of him with some admiration, Zhao Xixie's eyes fell on Zhaoyang.

"Zhaoyang, sometimes you can't just look at the situation in front of you. Often the opponent has already stabbed the most deadly sword in the dark."

"Just like the current battle situation, if our generals are not aware of Wei Jun's intentions, then the tens of thousands of soldiers outside Daliang City will be a piece of fat on Wei Jun's lips."

Having said this, Zhao Xixie couldn't help but think of the figure on the bank of Lishui.

"As expected of Prime Minister Wei, such a skill really scares me."

"Zhaoyang understands."

Regarding Gongsun Qi's secret arrangement, Zhao Yang, as his opponent, also admired Gongsun Qi's secret plan.

While receiving his grandfather's teachings, Zhaoyang couldn't help but ask, "Ling Yin, since you have understood the intentions of the Wei army, how should our Chu army respond?"

"On the battlefield, we have always emphasized using virtuality to control reality, and using reality to defeat virtuality. Now that the opponent's virtual reality is clear, our army can deal with it calmly."

Shifting his steps slightly, Zhao Xixie slowly walked to the sword stand where the long sword was placed.

He picked up the long sword in front of him with his right hand, and the unsheathed blade reflected Zhao Xixie's calm face.

"Zhaoyang."

"The end will be here."

He neatly sheathed his sword and hung it on his waist. Zhao Xixie loudly ordered: "Send my general order and the army will return to Chu State immediately."

"Follow orders."

Facing the menacing Wei army and the war situation that was no longer favorable to his own side, Zhao Xixie, as the commander-in-chief, retreated without any hesitation.

The Chu army retreated as quickly as it came. The Wei army in Daliang City quickly received the news that people outside the city were leaving the camp.

"Report to the Prime Minister that the Chu army outside the city retreated southward last night."

After a few minutes, Gongsun Qi slowly put down the letter in his hand, and the figure on the bank of Lishui also appeared in his mind.

"Ling Yin, you have finally seen through this."

He stood up quickly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Pass my general's order, and Pang Juan's troops will immediately go to the Wei-Chu front line."

"Here."
