    Guangling County, Guangling County.

    This is the administrative seat of Guangling County, bordering Yangzhou and located in the southernmost part of Guangling County.  Nowadays, the army in Guangling County has shrunk on a large scale, and all the troops stationed in various counties have withdrawn to the county seat of Guangling County.

    This was Shi Chong¡¯s deliberate move.

    Take the initiative to show weakness.

    Withdraw all the troops from various places and concentrate them all in the county town to facilitate the confrontation with Wang Qi.

    If he doesn't do this, he simply won't be able to win against Wang Qi's army head-on by himself.  Even though his army was large in number, Shi Chong was not confident.  Shi Chong's plan was to complete the defense of Guangling County with the help of Guangling County garrison and Yuan Wei's assistance.

    The main hall of the magistrate's mansion in the city.

    Shi Chongzheng and a middle-aged man were drinking tea and chatting. The atmosphere between the two was quite relaxed, and they did not seem very anxious or nervous because of the approaching war.

    Shi Chong is in his early forties and is extremely thin.  Because he was too thin, his forehead bones were prominent and his chin was very pointed, making him look like a sharp-mouthed monkey.  He was the county magistrate of Guangling County in the early years. With continuous hard work, he finally became the county governor of Guangling County and firmly held Guangling County in his hands.

    The middle-aged man opposite Shi Chong is named Han Song.

    Han Song is Yuan Wei¡¯s general.

    When Wang Qi attacked Chen Yan before, Shi Chong predicted that once Wang Qi captured Chen Yan, he would definitely go south to deal with Guangling County.  Therefore, Shi Chong arranged for someone to go to Yangzhou to contact Yuan Wei early and seek Yuan Wei's help.

    After Yuan Wei got the news, he arranged for Han Song to help Shi Chong.  However, Han Song did not send troops with great fanfare, but quietly. For this battle, Han Song brought a total of 30,000 elite troops.

    All the troops were temporarily ambushed in Guangling County and never stationed in the city.

    This is to attack the Qi army from a flank.

    Shi Chong took a sip of tea and said with an eager expression, "General Han, I have received news that Wang Qi's army set out from Xiapi and headed for Guangling County. The current battle with Wang Qi is  It¡¯s inevitable. This time, we have to rely on General Han.¡±

    Han Song smiled and said: "I came to rescue you on your Majesty's order, and I should help Governor Shi defeat the enemy. What's more, Governor Shi also said he would surrender to Your Majesty before. You are also a member of my Chen Kingdom, and it is my duty to help you."

    Shi Chongdao: "Thank you General Han for your hard work."

    Shi Chong's surrender to Yuan Wei was also conditional.  Although he nominally surrendered, he was still the governor of Guangling County.  Moreover, he still controls the personnel adjustments of officials and military power in Guangling County.

    This is Shi Chong¡¯s condition.

    Yuan Wei also agreed. Anyway, he agreed to Shi Chong first, and then planned Guangling County later.

    Han Songpi said with a smile: "During this period, I have received the hospitality from Prefect Shi. How can I not do my best?"

    In order to curry favor with Han Song, Shi Chong served him with wine and meat every day. In addition, he also sent beautiful singers to Han Song's residence, which was extremely flattering.

    Shi Chong said: "General Han, you are very polite. When you arrive in Guangling County, I should show my friendship as a landlord. The war is about to begin, so I will prepare a small gift here to give to General Han."

    "Come here, bring your gifts."

    Shi Chong gave an order.

    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two soldiers carrying a box outside the hall.

    There was a clang and the box was placed on the ground.

    Shi Chong stepped forward and opened the box.  In an instant, the golden light was brilliant and shining.  In the box, there is a pile of gold, silver, jewelry, precious jade articles, all extremely valuable treasures.

    Shi Chong smiled and said: "General Han, this is a little thought from Shi. When General Han defeats Wang Qi's army, I will give you another two hundred thousand taels of silver as a thank you gift."

    Han Song is inherently greedy for money.

    Shi Chong's move was to do what he wanted.  In fact, Shi Chong had heard about Han Song's nature early in the morning, but from beginning to end, Shi Chong didn't give any money at first. He just kept serving him good food, drinks, and beautiful singers.

    ???????????????????????? Anyway, Han Song was not allowed to gossip, and Han Song¡¯s appetite was kept whetted.

    Money must be used wisely.

    So when the war came, Shi Chong took out the first batch of money.

    Sure enough, Han Song became excited as soon as he saw the shining golden light in the box.  He walked to the big box with some obsession, looked at it carefully, and nodded hurriedly, appearing to be very approving.

    Han Song stroked his beard under his chin, looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Prefect Shi, what are you doing? I brought troops to help you, that's what I should do."?, why so?  "

    Shi Chong said solemnly: "General Han brought troops to help me, and he was indeed following orders. But fighting on the battlefield is not easy. How can I not express it? You do yours and I do mine, so that we can both feel at ease. But  It's a small kindness, why do you care about it? If you don't accept it, you will look down on me, Shi Chong."

    ¡°That¡¯s it, that¡¯s it!¡±

    Han Song said with a smile on his face: "Prefect Shi said so, so I reluctantly accepted it."

    He stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the box closed with a clang.

    Han Song returned to his seat and said as if nothing had happened: "Prefect Shi, don't worry, the 30,000 troops under my command this time are all the elites of the Chen State, and they have set up an ambush near the county seat. Waiting for Wang Qi  The dispatched army has arrived in Guangling County, and if you and I work together to attack, we will naturally win in one battle, and we will definitely win this battle."

    Shi Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's hard work for General Han. Speaking of which, I'm still a little worried."

    Han Song said: "What are you worried about?"

    Shi Chong said: "Wang Qi's army has extremely strong combat effectiveness and is not easy to fight with. You know, Chen Yan is not weak, but he was defeated easily. In addition, Lu Shengqi was so powerful that he was destroyed directly. This time we  , it¡¯s better to be cautious and don¡¯t be careless.¡±

    Han Song laughed loudly, flicked his sleeves, and showed a touch of contempt on his rough face, and said confidently: "Prefect Shi, you are trying to make other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige."

    "Chen Yan, he is very old, what ability does he have? It is impossible for him to go into battle to kill the enemy."

    "Lu Shengqi is even less worth mentioning. He is just a bandit. The reason why he became emperor is not because of how powerful Lu Shengqi is, but because of the turmoil in Qingzhou and the corruption of the Zhou Dynasty's army."

    "The reason why Wang Qi was able to win was just due to luck. The people he met were all such trash."

    Han Song said: "This battle is under the command of my general. Don't worry, we will definitely win. Wang Qi's army is just a mere one. Wang Qi himself has never been there, so what is there to be afraid of?"

    Shi Chong also suddenly gained confidence and said, "I believe in General Han."

    "Report!"

    At this moment, soldiers entered.

    The soldier reported: "For your information, the Grand Administrator, Wang Qi's army has been rushing all the way since it set off from Xiapi. According to estimates, it is estimated that it has almost reached the border of Guangling County. The person leading the army this time is Wang Qi's command.  General Xiao Qingzhi."

    "I know, let's explore again!"

    Shi Chong gave an order.

    "yes!"

    The soldier turned and retreated.

    Shi Chong looked at Han Song and said: "General, Xiao Qingzhi's army is coming. Xiao Qingzhi is not weak."

    Han Song said: "Wang Qidu is mediocre, let alone Xiao Qingzhi, who is even more vulnerable. What you have to do, Governor Shi, is to use the county seat to weaken the opponent's offensive. As the saying goes, if you make a big effort and then fail again, we will be exhausted.  Weaken the opponent first, then wait until the opponent loses their fighting spirit, then directly attack from a flank and win in one go."

    Shi Chong said: "General Han is a master, and he will listen to General Han in everything he says."

    Han Song¡¯s face was also full of smiles.

    For him, Shi Chong's flattery and Shi Chong's understanding made him very impressed.  After winning this battle, he would still have two hundred thousand taels of silver, which he was looking forward to.

    The two were chatting, the atmosphere was still relaxed, and they were not nervous because of the impending war.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
