Chapter 1199 The Eve of the War (Part 2)

In Ping County, Henan County, Sizhou, Huangfu Chaobo has arrived at Ping County under the escort of two thousand Guards and Dianwei Gaoshun. In addition to military advisor Guo Jia, Huangfu Chaobo and his four young generals followed him. Pang Tong rushed to Wei County immediately after the meeting, and Lu Su was already on the way to Shanyang County without stopping.

The party war is about to begin tomorrow morning, but Huangfu Chaobo is standing on the tower of the north gate of Ping County, looking up to the north, as if to let his deep eyes penetrate the darkness of the night sky and see the north. The main camp of the Tang Army. Guo Jia and others stood beside him. Seeing him speechless for a long time, Guo Jia said: "Is the king worried about General Tian Yu's army?"

Huangfu Chaobo shook his head and said: "There is nothing to worry about. Tian Yu has also been a general for nearly ten years, and so far, there has been no abnormality in Zhao State. Besides, everything has been arranged. , now I can only wait quietly for the news to come. "

"Then the king is worried about the situation with King Yan?"

"Yeah, I wonder how effective our arrangement can be? Although we have arranged for three armies to go to the rescue, we don't know if we can make it in time..." Huangfu Chaobo shook his head and said;

"As the king said just now, everything has been arranged, and King Yan can only leave it to fate. I am a little worried about the speed of Zhao Guo's response. If Zhao Guo responds quickly enough, King Zhao's 30,000 It only takes a few days for the cavalry to rush back to Jinyang. If the Jinyang defenders can react, maybe the infantry reinforcements will enter Shangdang before our army captures the entire county of Shangdang. The two families can only join the party equally," Guo Jia said with a smile to divert Huangfu Chaobo's attention;

"Oh, what's there to worry about? Chen Gong is smart. By the time they react and get the news from Shangdang, our army has already arrived at Changzi City. Now there are only three to five thousand people defending Changzi City. How can we block the attack of my tens of thousands of troops? We can wait for Changzi City and then attack the rest of the cities." Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile;

"Chen Gong is late?" After hearing Huangfu Chaobo's evaluation of Chen Gong, Guo Jia repeated it with a smile, and then said: "So, my worries are a bit unfounded."

"It can't be said that Chen Gong is still capable, so the army must advance as quickly as possible. At least it should control Nie County as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if Taiyuan's reinforcements are really allowed to rush into Nie County, the rest of the army will The war is not that easy." Huangfu Chaobo laughed and said, "Okay, everything depends on the soldiers. Let's go and have a rest. We will board the boat to cross the river and go north early tomorrow morning! At the time of the pass, Hanoi's army had already entered Shangdang territory."

…

In the State of Zhao, in Jinyang City, Taiyuan County, the person who was said to be mentally retarded by Huangfu Chaobo, the Prime Minister of Zhao State, Chen Gong, had already laid down, but he could not fall asleep. An inexplicable sense of anxiety lingered on his body for a long time. Go, he always felt that there was something he hadn't considered.

Today is already the ninth day of the Double Ninth Day. The weather is very good. The half moon hangs high in the sky. Chen Gong saw that he could not fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply got up, put on a piece of clothing and walked to the yard. It was a little cool. Walking slowly in the moonlit night, Chen Gong looked up to the south as he walked, secretly sighing in his heart: It's so quiet!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Gong's mind, quiet... south...

"Yes, quiet, it's too quiet in the south..." Chen Gong suddenly remembered a question. The war in Wuyuan has been going on for more than ten days now, but as their ally, the Tang State in the south didn't even react at all. This quiet was too quiet. It was too weird. Thinking of this, Chen Gong didn't care about anything else and hurriedly walked to his study.

He quickly walked to the study and asked someone to light the lamp inside. Chen Gong immediately took out a map of Bingzhou on his desk and observed it carefully. Tang Guo's behavior was so weird that Chen Gong always felt that this was the case. There must be some conspiracy hidden inside, so I looked at all the adjacent places between Tang and Zhao on the map.

Starting from Xihe County, Chen Gong moved his hand almost inch by inch across the map. However, to his disappointment, after going through almost all the roads that could lead to a team of more than a hundred people, he still found nothing. Puzzled for a while, Chen Gong was thinking and tapping his fingers on the map unconsciously. Suddenly, his fingers fell on a place name above the Hyun family - Changping Pavilion.

Changping Pavilion!

Well, Changping Pavilion, the Battle of Changping? Battle of Changping!

Chen Gong suddenly woke up. The Battle of Changping, a battle that shocked the world hundreds of years ago, wasn't it that the Qin State at that time sent troops from Hedong to join the party? How did hundreds of thousands of Qin troops enter Shangdang?

Yes, Baixing, Chen Gong immediately remembered that the Qin State entered Shangdang territory through Baixing, but in Baixing today, only the Xu family went all the way east, directly to Fukou Pass in Hebei.

Thinking of this, Chen Gong immediately found a book from his bookshelf in a hurry, and then quickly turned to the records of the Battle of Changping. He quickly found the records of the Battle of Changping. From it, he read When they came to a few names, Gaopingguan and Yicheng, Chen Gong traced them all the way on the map, and a chill rushed from his back to the top of his head.

"Bangdang..."

The oil lamp in his hand fell directly to the ground, and the room suddenly became much darker. The lamp oil fell to the ground and burned all at once. Fortunately, there was nothing else on the ground. The flames on the bluestone slabs jumped twice and then stopped burning. At this time, Chen Gong had remembered that the Tang Kingdom was not without action, but had been making preparations. The biggest action was to repair the road from Jiangyi to Duanshi.

"Come here!" Chen Gong shouted loudly after reacting;

"Prime Minister!" Immediately, the guards rushed into Chen Gong's study: "What do you want?"

"Immediately, quickly, send someone to call the person in charge of the wolf pack to me, and quickly send someone to invite Lord Guowei and General Li Feng, quickly..." Chen Gong almost shouted the last few words.

For a moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion became lively, and several guards almost rushed out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and ran in three directions.

A moment later, the leader of the wolf pack arrived at Chen Gong's study first. When Chen Gong saw him, he immediately wrote a letter, sealed it with mud, and ordered him to send someone to Shangdang immediately to hand it over to Shangdang Governor Zhang Yang and Captain Hao Meng. Seeing the urgent mark on the mud seal, the person did not dare to delay. After bowing to Chen Gong, he turned around and left immediately.
