Back at the camp, Bai Yan said to Zhou Yafu tentatively: "General Zhou, if nothing unexpected happens, the coalition forces will definitely capture the four counties of Jibei, Linzi, Jiaodong and Langya. So how do these four counties be distributed? Should we make a strategy? Avoid the situation coming, because disagreement will hurt each other's harmony."

Han Ju also said: "I agree, it's time to make a strategy."

This is also the meaning in the title. Originally, there were only three counties, so there was nothing much to say. One county is fair and reasonable, but now there is one more Langya county, so we have to talk about it.

Bai Yan said honestly and bluntly: "This time the coalition forces attacked Qi, our Da Zhao sent the most troops, so we have to share at least half of the more than a dozen counties under Langya County."

"Why?" Han Ju said unhappily, "Before sending troops, each family had an agreement that the land, population, wealth and goods obtained must be divided equally, and Langya County must also be divided equally. There is nothing to say."

"No." Bai Yan said decisively, "My Da Zhao sent the most troops, and it is not fair to be fair."

"Han Ju, can you betray your faith?" Han Ju suddenly stood up, and his right hand reached towards the hilt of the sword.

"What, Han Ju, do you still want to kill someone?" Bai Yanran was not afraid and also held the sword handle tightly with his right hand.

Seeing that the two were about to clash, Zhou Yafu secretly cursed the two of them in his heart, but had to stand up and persuade: "You two, please listen to the words of this general. How to separate Langya County? I'm afraid that it doesn't count. The kings of each family have to speak. So, you should wait until the war between the two places is over before discussing it, okay?"

Bai Yan, Han Ju snorted with each other and sat back on the table.

#############

Half a month later, when Xiang Zheng received a reward from the flying cavalry and learned that the military and civilians led by Zhao Xi had entered Langya County, Xiang Zhuang finally withdrew from Linzi with three thousand Chu troops.

The Chu army did not leave quietly at night, but chose to withdraw in a dignified manner during the day.

Looking at the whole team of people with a complete indifference, the Chu army with neat lineup drove out of the east gate of Linzi. Then he marched towards Jimo along the spacious road. Bai Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Yafu, saying, "General Zhou, do you really plan to let Xiang Zheng and his three thousand elite soldiers leave like this? Xiang Zheng is the prince of Chu."

Bai Yan had no intention of killing Xiang Zheng. He just wanted to capture Xiang Zheng as a hostage.

No matter what, Xiang Zheng is the crown prince of Chu. If Xiang Zheng can be captured as a qualifier, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for Zhao and even the entire Lianheng Alliance.

Han Ju nodded repeatedly, and he had the same thoughts.

Zhou Yafu smiled and said, "I know what Brother Bai means, but it's not time to turn against you now. At least before Langya County accepts you, you can't turn against you rashly with Chu Jun."

Han Ju said coldly: "When I accept Langya County, I'm afraid I won't have a chance."

"Do you both think so?" Zhou Yafu smiled and said, "That's right. If you think so, then the Chu army will definitely think so, but they insist on doing the opposite. When the last chance is about to be lost, it is what the military strategy says unexpectedly and unpredictable, haha."

#############

The Chu army marched very quickly. On the evening of the eighth day, it had already arrived within twenty miles north of Ju County.

When he heard that the Chu army arrived, the Han army besieged Ju County retreated ten miles north to the camp. However, the Han army deputy general Li Jie personally led more than a hundred cavalry to cruise on the northern outings to monitor the movements of the Chu army.

Standing on the hills on the outskirts of Ju County, you can vaguely see the outline of Ju County, and the lights on the city are even more visible. Just after the You hour, a long dragon of winding torches drove over the road north of Ju County, and then went straight into the north gate of Ju County.

The torch was extremely long and very long. Li Jie looked at it thickly and saw that its length was probably more than twenty miles long. However, the three thousand Chu troops had such a long queue, which was obviously a single march.

"Strange, why did the Chu army pull the queue so long?" Some junior school asked in confusion.

Li Jie was also confused, and he couldn't understand what the purpose of Chu Jun doing this was?

There was also a junior school eager to try and suggested: "General, the Chu army's queue is so long that we can cut it from the middle, and the Chu army will inevitably be in a difficult position to deal with..."

"No." Li Jie said decisively, "How can you know that the Chu army is not a trick to lure the enemy? Besides, the General of the Cavalry had made strict orders. Without his orders, our army should not act rashly." The General of the Cavalry mentioned by Li Jie was Zhou Yafu. Because of his contribution to attack Qi, King Liu Heng of Han had just appointed Zhou Yafu as General of the Cavalry.

Li Xue's caution makes sense. Xiang Zheng, the Crown Prince of Chu, dared to attack Linzi with three thousand elite troops for a long distance, and was able to succeed in one move, how could he be easy to deal with him? How could such a powerful person leave such an obvious flaw? Therefore, this is likely that the Chu army deliberately left flaws and lured the Han army to attack. Li Xue didn't want to take this risk.

Xiaoxiao said: "General, can you just let the Chu army enter Ju County like this?"

Li Jie said: "It's better for the Chu army to enter Ju County. Hehe, it's easy for them to enter, but it's difficult to think about it."

#############

The north gate of Ju County.

Xiang Zheng turned over and dismounted, and Zangyan hurriedly came up with more than ten personal soldiers.

"Brother Xiang Zheng, you're here." Zangyan bowed deeply to Xiang Zheng and said, "Brother listened to you this time, Ju County doesn't want it, but you must take it back for you in the future."

"Brother Zang, don't worry, I must keep my word." Xiang Zheng smiled and said, "Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, brother, you're all ready." Zang Yan said, "There have been a large number of Northern Diao Scouts outside the East Gate, the West Gate and the South Gate. It's a delusion to get close to Ju County in three directions." After a pause, Zang Yan said, "The Yan Army and Northern Diao Scouts in the city have also completed the assembly."

"Very good." Xiang Zheng nodded happily and turned back and shouted: "Send the order. After the army enters the city, put out the torch, then pass through the Ju County city, hold the people and immediately set it off, and leave the city through the south gate in the dark and continue to go south!"

Zangyan also turned around and issued a retreat order to the Yan army that was gathering on standby on the streets in the city.

The Han army scouts cruising outside the north gate and Li Jie on the hill focused all their attention on the Chu army brigade that was heading south outside the north gate. However, they did not expect that the south gate of Ju County had quietly opened in the dark night. The Chu army who had just entered the city and the Yan army originally stationed in the city had quietly left.

Before leaving the south gate of Ju County, Xiang Zheng suddenly stopped his horse and turned around and drew a cold smile at the north night sky. Zhou Yafu, have you already laid an ambush in front of you? This prince refused to go forward. He first gave you a secret, and then killed someone to shoot back. He wanted to see who ambushed whom, hehe.

#############

Zhou Yafu, who was gathering around the bonfire, suddenly shivered without warning. The personal soldiers sitting next to him quickly took the cloak and put it on a long stretch for Zhou Yafu, and said, "General, don't get cold."

Zhou Yafu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I am not that weak."

Bai Yan, who was sitting on the other side of the fire, said, "General Zhou, calculate the time. The Chu army is almost time to arrive in Ju County, but I don't know about General, your magic trick. Now, can you tell me?"

Zhou Yafu waved his hand and said calmly: "I dare not take it for it. In fact, it is nothing to say it out loud. This general just secretly ordered Shen Tu Jia to lead 5,000 elite troops to cross mountains and ridges, and set up an ambush on the necessary road from Ju County to Lu County. Last night, the general had received a report that Shen Tu Jia rushed to Langya and Xue County.

"This is the fate." Han Ju suddenly realized, "I said why the general controlled the marching speed so slowly? It turned out that this was just to paralyze the Chu army. In fact, the general had already secretly laid ambush in front of him. It was amazing, indeed it was amazing."

Bai Yan said, "General Zhou, will Shentu Jia's actions be discovered, right? And Gao Lang, who is stationed in Lu County, will he lead his troops to the junction of Xue County and Langya County to meet Xiang Zheng?"

Zhou Yafu smiled and said, "General Bai doesn't need it. The black ice platform's fine work is closely monitoring Lu County. Until yesterday, Gao Lang's army has been stationed in Lu County and has not made any abnormal actions."

"Haha, very good." Bai Yan said happily, "So, Xiang Zheng is hard to escape this time."

Han Ju also said: "With Xiang Zheng as a hostage, the State of Chu will be afraid of the rat from now on."

#############

Fifty miles east of Ju County, the Chu army, Yan army and the Northern Diao cavalry were hurried north along the wilderness.

At this time, the eastern sky had slightly white fish belly. Zangyan walked all night in darkness. When he looked up, he found that he seemed to be walking north. He immediately caught up with Xiang Zheng with breathlessness and said with confusion: "Brother, I've got the wrong direction. Xue County should be in the west, but why did we go north?"

"Don't worry, brother, the location is right." Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Also, we don't go back to Xue County. We have to go back and ambush the coalition forces halfway."

"What? Ambush the coalition forces?" Zangyan didn't react.

"Yes, ambush the coalition forces." Xiang Zheng nodded slightly, "My master said, this is called a resurgence."

"Return the horseback?" Zangyan looked at the Chu army, the Yan army and the Northern Diao cavalry who were following behind him, and frowned and said, "But there are 70,000 or 80,000 coalition forces from Linzi south. We only have less than 10,000 people. Can we ambush?"

"There are not so many coalition forces." Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Zhou Yafu could not bring all his troops into Langya. If nothing unexpected happens, he will bring up at most 30,000 troops." After a pause, Xiang Zheng said, "And, the concealment of the world last night was very successful. Zhou Yafu only said that we were still in Ju County, and he never thought we would go back and ambush him."

"Well, that's true." Zangyan had read several military books after all, and nodded immediately, "The military strategy was unexpected and the attack was unpredictable. Zhou Yafu definitely didn't expect that we would ambush them halfway. This might really happen."

Xiang Zheng smiled and said, "And in order to paralyze us, the coalition forces controlled the marching speed very slowly, so we have enough time to make arrangements after arriving at the Tiger Leaping Canyon." The Tiger Leaping Canyon is the only way to Jimo to go to Ju County. The two mountains and one valley are interspersed with an terrain. The terrain is extremely dangerous and is also the ambush location chosen by Xiang Zheng.
