All the generals received the order and prepared to leave. They returned to the barracks to prepare the items needed for tomorrow's operation.
Just as Gao Shun stood up and was about to leave with the other generals, Zhao Chen suddenly called out to him,""Gao Shun, wait a moment. I still have something to tell you.”
After Gao Shun heard Zhao Chen's words, he was a little surprised and was instantly stunned." Oh, yes, General. I await your orders.
Zhao Chen asked Gao Shun to walk with him, and Zhao Chen brought him to the study that was about 100 meters away from the meeting hall. After letting him sit down, he slowly said,"Gao Shun, you almost committed a big taboo just now, do you know?”Zhao Chen looked disappointed.
"What is it, my lord? I don't quite understand.”Gao Shun had a blank expression. Zhao Chen looked at him and sighed.
Gao Shun was still the same as in his memories, the honest and straightforward Gao Shun who did not know how to read other people's minds and was proficient in everything else. A man who specializes in military affairs and dares to speak out and remonstrate with His Majesty.
Gao Shun had just exposed his relationship with him in public and called him master. In ancient times, only those who were loyal to others and were their servants could call him master.
In the army, if a general called him that, it meant that he and his troops already belonged to him alone. And this was absolutely not allowed in the Qin State, especially under the rule of the King of Qin Ying Zheng.
He could have an army named after an officer like the Meng Army. Because in the end, this army still belonged to him. It was just that Meng Yi and Meng Tian had a deeper influence on him.
However, Ying Zheng was a man of great talent and great strategy, and he would never allow an army that belonged to his own personal commander to exist. This would easily cause misunderstandings, which would be very disadvantageous to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen explained the pros and cons to Gao Shun in detail, and he immediately broke out in cold sweat.
Only Gao Shun was still a little confused, and Xu Rong had long known the pros and cons of this matter.
Xu Rong was clearly not a simple person to be able to rise to the top of Dong Zhuo's Western Liang army as someone who was not from Western Liang.
"My lord, I'm sorry to have troubled you.”Gao Shun said with an apologetic expression.
"Don't worry. Fortunately, everyone here is a veteran who has been with us for some time. We won't tell anyone. By the way, since you will be taking out troops to observe tomorrow, you will definitely be short of manpower. You can adjust it a little. Just guard those critical parts. Don't worry about the rest. After all, as long as we wipe out this part of the enemy, the news here will definitely be leaked, so there's no need to be as strict as before. After annihilating the enemy, it will take the enemy five to six days to send their troops over. By then, our army will have already met up with us.”Zhao Chen finished analyzing the situation and instructed Gao Shun.
After Gao Shun heard it, he agreed with it. Next, they decided on how to set up the city defense and where to set it up. A series of discussions began.
Time flew by and another day passed.
The next morning, Zhao Chen led the army and rushed to the Zhao Army's camp a hundred miles away. He would also contact the Shadow Guards from time to time to accurately monitor their marching route and speed. He would hang them from afar and not let them discover him.
Gao Shun began to patrol and defend according to the plan. He stepped up his patrols and defense.
? When Zhao Chen was ten miles away from the Zhao Army, he ordered the army to slow down and maintain this distance.
This was because Zhao Chen realized that General Jing Yu was quite capable. He had sent out scouts early on to scout around the front and back of the army and open up a path.
An accident happened on one side, so Zhao Chen immediately stopped his troops. Based on the information he had gathered, he calculated the approximate distance they had traveled and began to set up the things they needed for the operation.
He poured the kerosene on both sides of the forest and hid the sulfur and other flammable materials. The entire army was ready and hidden at the side, recuperating and waiting for action.
On the side of the Zhao army, they were still as slow as before. They even walked for a while from time to time to rest. They had walked less than 30 miles in the morning.
? They were a bunch of useless people. Zhao Chen had set off early today and traveled for nearly a hundred miles before arriving in front of them. The Zhao army had traveled for two days, but it was still slower than Zhao Chen's six hours. They were useless.
All the generals of the Qin army nearby thought. Zhao Chen knew that this was a classic example of a general being incompetent. There were two voices in the army, and the general did not have enough authority, which led to this situation.
After another two hours, they finally arrived at the ambush spot that Zhao Chen had prepared. As expected, they set up camp in the forest. Only a few thousand people, led by General Jing Yu, set up camp at the edge of the forest. The rest set up camp in the middle of the ambush circle.
Because there was water and lush trees there, it was very cool.
Zhao Chen saw that the enemy had entered the ambush zone and began to assign missions: Two hours later, when the wind blew, they would attack.
Some of them were holding crossbows and lying in ambush by the river to prevent the enemy from escaping. The other part was for the cavalry to patrol outside, catching and killing the fish that slipped through the net. Send out a small team to secretly ignite the fire. He had to severely injure them.
All the soldiers began to move, each of them coming to their arranged positions and waiting for the battle to begin. A great battle was about to begin.
However, the enemies were completely unaware and were still resting. They took off their armor and lay on the ground, wandering around in a relaxed manner. Only a small number of people had an ominous feeling.
It was General Jing Yu's soldiers. Because they were veterans who had fought with him for a long time, they had the intuition of those who had survived hundreds of battles. Therefore, he ordered people to tighten their defenses, just in case.
Jing Yu muttered to himself," A storm is coming. I always have a bad feeling. I hope my feeling is wrong. Sigh, this is the first time I've led an army so cowardly."
