"Report..."

A loud report sounded outside the Chinese army's tent, and then a figure rushed in from outside.

"I am reporting to your Majesty that reinforcements from the Wei State have arrived!"

When such a report sounded in his ears, Yin Jingshe, the commander of the State of Chu, felt his heart skip a beat.

Jingshe's eyes were fixed on the map in front of him for a long time, looking at Wancheng marked on it, and silence immediately became the mainstream in the Chinese army's tent.

It's too late, it's too late.

As the commander of the Chu State, Jing She knew very well that with the Chu State's national and military strength, it would not be difficult to defeat South Korea alone.

But when Wei General Pang Juan led 100,000 Wei troops to the Wancheng battlefield, Jingshe really couldn't see how much chance his side had of winning.

After being speechless for a long time, Jing She, as Ling Yin, clenched his fists and issued the order with deep reluctance in his heart.

"Retreat the troops..."

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Your Majesty, the casualties our army has incurred before retreating at this moment will mean all our efforts have been wasted. How should we go to court and go to the king..."

"enough!"

Sternly interrupting the persuasion of the generals beside him, Jing She slowly turned around. At this moment, his eyes turned red when he looked around.

"Do you think I am willing to do this? Do you think I am not heartbroken? But do we have any other choice now?"

Raising his right hand and pointing at the curtain of the big tent, Jing She shouted: "I think someone here must have seen how powerful the one hundred thousand Wei army led by Wei general Pang Juan is."

"Our army has been unable to attack Wancheng for a long time. Our soldiers have long been exhausted and their morale has long declined."

"Using a tired army against an elite army, I can't imagine how likely our army is to win. What about you?"

Jing She's eyes were like lightning and he quickly scanned all the Chu army generals present, and most of the people who responded to him were lowered heads.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Zhaoyang, who had been silent at the side, stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Wei army is approaching fiercely. If our army confronts it head-on, the result will be a complete defeat."

"But now that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, it is impossible for our army not to respond."

"How to deal with it, please let me know."

As a deputy general and from the Zhao family of Qu Jingzhao's three clans, Zhaoyang has an extraordinary status in the army, which is why he chose to stand up when the generals were silent.

Zhaoyang's words not only eased the tense atmosphere between the general Jing She and the generals present, but also brought everyone's focus back from the quarrel to the current war.

Jingshe naturally noticed Zhaoyang's performance, and his slight nod showed his satisfaction with this Zhao family member.

After once again sizing up the Chu army generals around him, and deliberately pausing for a moment on Zhao Yang, Jing She looked at the map behind him again.

"Everyone, with the arrival of Wei reinforcements, it has become impossible to capture Wancheng."

"On the contrary, if South Korea and Wei join forces, our army will most likely be defeated."

"In this case, our army might as well give up attacking Wancheng..."

His fingers moved quickly on the map, and Jing She's countermeasures were displayed in detail in front of the generals present.

According to Jingshe's idea, the Chu army would give up most of the cities it had previously captured, and would only rely on Deng City and the Han River behind it to block the possible southward movement of the Wei-Korean coalition.

The battle situation is changeable. The Chu army, which originally used a slap to attack, needs to quickly withdraw its offensive and turn itself into a fist.

The countermeasures had been decided, and just when Jingshe was about to issue orders to the various ministries, another report sounded.

"Report..."

"I am reporting to your Majesty that the frontline scouts have determined that the number of troops coming to aid Wei is less than 50,000."

"What!"

The sudden second report disrupted all the arrangements of the Jingshe.

When they heard that the number of Wei troops arriving for reinforcements was less than 50,000, everyone present, including Zhao Yang, looked at Jing She with a little more hope.

If it is really the 100,000 Wei troops led by Pang Juan who are coming, then they have nothing to say. If they cannot defeat them, they will naturally have to switch from offense to defense.

However, the Wei army, which numbered less than 50,000, and the Korean army stationed in the city, might not be able to fight if Chu's domestic reinforcements could arrive in time.

Even if we take ten thousand steps back, the two sides will be in a stalemate at best.

"Ling Yin..."

"Don't be impatient. The army will remain stationary and wait for my general's orders."

Temporarily suppressing the eager hearts of the Chu army generals present, Jing She looked at the messenger in front of him.

"Let's explore again. If there are any movements of the Wei army, report back in time."

"Here."

When the messenger exited the tent, Jingshe turned around slowly, regardless of the gazes on him from everyone present, and a doubt immediately arose in his mind.

"To give you a detailed report, there were 100,000 Wei troops who went south this time. Only 40,000 appeared near Wancheng now, so where did the rest go?"

"Qi State? Or?"

After glancing at the east side of the map, Jing She looked north again.

…

"The whole of South Korea, or the whole world, wants to know where your country's generals and the rest of the army have gone?"

In the palace of Xinzheng, South Korea, King Han Wu roared at the two people in front of him with an angry face.

These two people were none other than Shen Buhai, the high minister of Wei State, and Xu Yan, a pedestrian in charge of diplomatic relations.

When the Korean doctor Tang Jigong returned from his mission to Anyi, these two came to Xinzheng together as envoys from the State of Wei.

Naturally, King Han Wu of Han received the envoys from Wei warmly and treated them very thoughtfully.

But these two guests who were warmly entertained by South Korea brought some not-so-good news to King Han today.

Originally, King Han Wu of Han was quite moved when he heard that Wei King Wei Feng sent General Pang Juan to lead an army of 100,000 people southward.

Wei deserves to be the most powerful country today, and it deserves to be South Korea's most solid ally. It can actually send 100,000 troops to help in the war.

Just when King Han Wu of Han was hoping that the allied forces of Han and Wei could defeat the Chu army in front of him and move south to the Han River, Shen Buhe told him that the actual number of Wei troops going south was only 40,000.

Forty thousand and one hundred thousand, do you really think Han Wu can't tell the difference?

"Wei is the most powerful country today, and the King of Wei is the overlord of the world. How could he be so unfaithful!"

"King Han, please calm down." Seeing Han Wu who was filled with indignation at this moment, Xu Yan stood up and tried to smooth things over, "Promise South Korea, promise King Han, I, Wei, will definitely do it, but not now."

"After our army is successful, we will naturally raise troops to go south and join South Korea in going south to attack Chu."

"Exactly!"

After Xu Yan finished speaking, Shen Buhe on the side also said again: "Forty thousand Wei troops plus the Korean army led by the Prime Minister in the city are enough to withstand the Chu army's offensive."

"As long as we wait a little longer, our army of Wei will be able to move south. At that time, it will be the time for your country and our army of Wei to make achievements."

"That's all!"

Seemingly seeing that the other party could no longer change, Han Wu could only temporarily accept this reality when he saw that Wancheng was not in danger.

But at this moment, a doubt also appeared in his mind.

Where did Pang Juan and the Wei army under his command go?

Is it Qi State, or...
