"Brother Wang, if we are in Yingdu, of course my brother will obey the orders of your Highness the Crown Prince..." Zi Lan smiled coldly.

"But this is Xiapi! It's the camp of the three armies of Chu State!"

"My young master, Lan Nai, is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and you... are just a supervisor!"

"Here, I am the one who has the final say!" Zilan waved her hand and said domineeringly.

Mi Heng was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes.

But there is no refutation.

Why did you choose such a person to be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces?

Zilan looked at Xiong Wuliang again, and smiled a little sinisterly: "Master Mi Liang has made suggestions for the country, and his loyalty is commendable... But this so-called strategy to defeat the enemy, in the eyes of this commander--"

“That’s bullshit!”

"Qu Yangjun, how could you come up with such a perverse and underhanded strategy? It is obvious that you have slipped through the net of our great Chu court education!"

"If I were you, I would be so embarrassed and angry that I would die of shame right now!"

Xiong Wuliang's face was as dark as water, but he did not have an attack.

Xiong Wuliang has always had a good temper when it comes to money-giving boys like Mi Fei and Zi Lan.

If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't lose the battle in front of him, Xiong Wuliang wouldn't waste any more words with this villain.

"The Song State has violated its neutral position by borrowing the road from Qi State!" All the generals in the tent gave advice one after another -

"Song State has declared war on Chu!"

"The fighter plane is fleeting!"

"If we can outflank and annihilate a total of 30,000 Qi troops, even if we are really unethical, so what? It's worth it!"

"Commander, please give the order to send troops!" The generals were all talking.

They have endured this evil for a long time!

Zilan snorted coldly.

With her remaining drunkenness, Zilan sneered and said: "My commander has made up his mind - the three armies will guard Xiapi and are not allowed to leave the city!"

"Let me speak more clearly - I will not comply with any suggestions that come out of Xiong Wuliang's mouth!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the tent exploded.

Is it because of personal anger that you ignore the interests of your family and country?

The generals were furious: "Please give me the order to send troops!"

Wu Ben, who had such a violent temper, took a few steps forward, his hand almost resting on the sword at his waist.

Zilan was startled: "You guys...how dare you do this?"

Just when a mutiny almost broke out in the tent, several soldiers outside the door burst in panting: "Oh no! Qi Army...Qi Army has arrived outside the city!"

Coming so fast!?

…

Qi's 30,000-strong army has arrived outside Xiapi City.

It appropriately eased the conflict between the Chu army generals.

Zilan and a group of generals climbed up to the city and looked into the distance. They saw 30,000 Qi troops holding purple Qi flags, with bright armor and a formidable momentum.

Within ten days, the Qi army was invincible. Now that the army is approaching the city, its morale is at its peak.

The troops are as long as the forest, and the chariots are in formation.

Zi Lan's face was solemn, but her heart was filled with panic.

Thinking about it, there are 60,000 Chu troops in the city, twice as many as Qi troops outside the city... Only then did Zi Lan calm down a little...

Jiang Yu, the general of Qi, stood on the chariot, building a pergola with his hands and looking down at Xiapi City from a distance.

I saw the Chu army's flags standing at the top of the city, but they had no intention of leaving the city to fight.

Jiang Yu smiled slightly: "As expected."

"Send the order, the three armies should bypass Xiapi City and continue southward!"

All the Qi generals looked at Jiang Yu in disbelief——

"No! The Chu army is guarding Xiapi City. If they suddenly attack while our army is detouring, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the Chu people to take advantage of?"

"What if our army bypasses Xiapi City and the Chu army comes out of the city to cut off our retreat?"

Jiang Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, generals. I have my own sense of discretion."

…

Thirty thousand Qi troops followed the order and did not stop outside Xiapi City at all. Instead, they bypassed Xiapi City far away and continued to advance south...

On top of the city, all the Chu army generals widened their eyes in shock.

Qi Jun bullied people too much!

"Commander, the enemy troops are marching around the city, and the weak points on both wings are exposed!"

"Please give the order immediately and go out of the city to attack. We will surely win a great victory!"

Zilan looked at the boundless Qi army and was panicking. How could she be willing to go out of the city to fight?

This is different from what he imagined!

Shouldn't the Qi army attack the city?

Then Zilan relied on the strong city to severely defeat the Qi army...

This is the script in Zilan's mind.

Why did this group of Qi people not follow the routine and march around the city?

"According to my commander's previous order, we will continue to defend Xiapi and not leave the city..." Zilan said in a panic.

The Chu army on the top of the city watched the Qi army swaggering through the city, and one can imagine the resentment in their hearts.

Morale is extremely low...

…

A few days later, one after another battle reports reached Xiapi.

The Qi army defeated two more county towns.

So far, the Qi army has destroyed a total of eleven cities. If these lands can be turned into Qi's territory, it will be regarded as an out-and-out victory.

Zi Lan could not sit still.

The Qi army was raging in the rear, heading south, and seemed to have no intention of stopping.

According to this style of play, Qi's army may even attack all the way to Yingdu.

No matter how hard Zilan held on, she could not sit back and watch the Qi army wreak havoc.

"Leave the city - advance at full speed and pursue the Qi army!" After thinking for a long time, Zilan finally gave the order to attack despite the objections of the generals.

…

In the twenty-fourth year of King Huai of Chu, on the tenth day of the eighth month, Chu general Zilan marched out of Xiapi and rashly pursued the Qi army.

On the third day of August, the Chu army fell into an ambush by the Qi army.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties - nearly 10,000 dead, wounded, missing, and captured.

The Chu army dispersed all the way south and regrouped at [Jinbei]. After some reorganization and inventory, only more than 50,000 people were left out of the original 60,000-strong army.

However, Qi general Jiang Yu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but led his troops back to attack [Xiapi], and captured this important town on the Chu border with almost no bloodshed.

Subsequently, the Qi army took advantage of its strong military strength and went south again to fight with the Chu army in [Jinbei].

The Chu army was defeated again and continued to flee south...

…

The Qi army pursued them one after another, and captured numerous weapons, chariots, flags, drums, and camps along the way...

However, the Chu army had no resistance and fled all the way.

"Where is this place?" Xiong Wuliang, who was on the way to escape, asked Zhao Hua beside him with a gray face.

Ever since the Battle of Jinbei, when the regrouped 50,000 Chu army was defeated by the Qi army again, the Chu army has been chased and killed by the Qi army, and now it has been completely disorganized.

It can be said that ‘the general cannot find the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot find the general’.

The Chu soldiers all over the mountains and plains were just trying to escape for their lives.

The troops under Xiong Wuliang's command were relatively well-organized, but their retreat was a little slow. In addition, Xiong Wuliang's troops were slightly heavier in equipment, so they were in the rear position - all the friendly troops fled in front.

"Going further, we will reach Jin County." Zhao Hua replied.

Xiong Wuliang cursed angrily, and now this Qu Yangjun was extremely angry.

If you really ride a horse, one general will be incompetent and the entire army will be exhausted.

Now it can be said that the army is defeated like a mountain.

They fled all the way and lost a large area of ​​land. The [Jin County] in front was already very close to Xiong Wuliang's fiefdom [Shansang].

"How many pursuers are behind us?" Xiong Wuliang asked.

Shaohu replied: "Report to the lord, there are about three thousand Qi troops, chasing them one after another."

"You're riding a horse!" Xiong Wuliang stopped in Bengbu and yelled in a very un-aristocratic manner: "Three thousand people dared to chase after fifty thousand people! They ran for a whole day and night!"
