Chapter 335: Bai Zhaochu fights
On the 21st year of Qianyuan, on the fifth day of the second month, Bai Qi led more than 100,000 troops to the city, and in the city, Zhao Xin also led 40,000 elite Zhao troops to be on the battlefield.
Today, Zhao Xin, Bai Qi and Yue Fei are the most respected. Zhao Xin is the best. However, Bai Qi and Yue Fei are not without the ability to challenge Zhao Xin, and this time they are Bai Qi and Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin, Bai Qi and Yue Fei are all eternal generals in the world, but why is Zhao Xin the number one in the world? The reason is very simple. Although Bai Qi has achieved great achievements since his debut, he has not many. The only one worthy of praise is the great defeat of Cao Tian. As for Zhou Shen, although he died at Bai Qi's hands, he was not defeated on the battlefield, so it is not counted.
Although Yue Fei's record is greater than Bai Qi, it is quite different from Zhao Xin's opponent. Since Yue Fei's debut, the two most glorious battles were that Wu Guan defeated Zhou Shen and Changshe defeated Pang Kuo. However, whether it was Zhou Shen or Pang Kuo, all of these people were defeated by Zhao Xin. Even Han Qing, who defected to Deng, was also a defeated by Zhao Xin.
With such a comparison, Zhao Xin naturally surpassed Bai Qi and Yue Fei, but this is just a comparison of the results. The real difference between the three people still needs to be fought before they know that today, Bai Qi is here to challenge Zhao Xin.
"Taiwei, the one in the city is Zhao Xin, the most famous general in the world. As long as he defeats him, the throne of the most famous general in the world belongs to the Taiwei." Under the city of Tunliu, Shelitu looked at Zhao Xin on the city and said excitedly to Bai Qi. In the battle of Guanzhong, Bai Qi established a higher prestige in the Qin army than Meng Zhan, so this time, the Qin army sent troops extremely hoped that Bai Qi could defeat Zhao Xin and become the top of the world's number one general.
Bai Qi also stared at Zhao Xin on the city and said lightly: "All the number one general in the world is just a false reputation. The most important thing is to defeat the Zhao army. This is the most important task as a soldier of the Qin Dynasty!" Although Bai Qi said it very plainly, it can be seen from his expression that Bai Qi still yearns for the throne of the world's number one general. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and who doesn't yearn for the throne of the first?
Zhao Xin on the city looked at the Qin army under the city with a serious face. The Qin army was stronger than the Zhao army, and the enemy's chief general was Bai Qi, who was as famous as him. Even Zhao Xin, who believed that he was not inferior to the world, had to hide in the city.
"General, the Qin army sent people to ask for a visit!" At this time, Zhao Li, the son who followed Zhao Xin to fight together, walked to Zhao Xin and said, Zhao Xin had a choice, that is, he could only call him the military system when entering the army, so even if Zhao Li was Zhao Xin's own son, he could only call him the general.
"Bring it!" When the Qin army sent people, Zhao Xin asked Zhao Li to bring the people up. Zhao Li nodded, then walked down the city and soon brought a Qin soldier up. When Qin soldier saw Zhao Xin, he bowed and said, "Greetings to General Zhao. The villain came to issue a letter of war on the order of Taiwei Bai!" After that, Qin soldier took out a letter of war from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin did not take the Zhan Shu, but said with a smile: "Go back and tell Bai Qi that he will not accept this Zhan Shu. If he has the ability to take down Tunliu City, then let him go and bring this Zhan Shu back to Bai Qi."
The Qin army's military strength is more than three times that of the Zhao army. Even if Zhao Xin is arrogant, he doesn't think he can defeat Bai Qi head-on with this little force, so he will not accept this letter of war. Although doing so will damage his reputation as the world's number one general, as long as the situation can be stabilized, Zhao Xin will not care.
When Qin Bing, who sent the letter of war, brought Zhan Shu back, Bai Qi sighed and sighed: "I thought Zhao Xin had been ranked first in the world for many years, and what I could not tolerate the most was the provocation of others. After receiving the letter of war from this general, Zhao Xin would definitely go out of the city to fight, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xin was so steady, the best in the world, and his reputation was worthy!"
"Hmph! I didn't expect that Zhao Xin was so timid. He was as timid as a mouse, and had defiled the title of the world's number one general!" On the contrary, Shelitu, who was standing by, did not think so. Shelitu was a Qiang people. The Qiang people have always advocated the strong and did not like to take any conspiracy. In Shelitu's opinion, even if he is at a disadvantage, he must have the courage to fight. He looked down on Zhao Xin like this.
Bai Qi smiled and looked at Shelitu, but ignored him. He knew very well that Shelitu was a person. He just said it. Besides, more than 100,000 Qin army troops went north to Tunliu, but Zhao army could not hide. This made the Qin generals who were fighting spirit suppressed their anger for a long time and couldn't vent their anger. It would be good to curse a few words now.
After glanced at Shelitu, Bai Qi said to Deputy General Ying Huai: "General Ying, send the order down, the entire army packs up and pulls the camp back to Changzi City."
"What! Grand Marshal, why did you retreat?" Everyone was surprised. More than 100,000 troops came in a mighty manner. Now they went back before they fought. What is this happening?
Among the crowd, only Wang Feng and Geng Yue looked thoughtful. Bai Qi also saw this scene, so he smiled and said to Wang Feng: "General Wang, tell me what you said!"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Wang Feng looked at Bai Qi with gratitude. Wang Feng was very grateful to Bai Qi. Since his war, Bai Qi has always intentionally made him appear, which has gradually restored his prestige lost due to the Battle of Bashu, which made Wang Feng admire Bai Qi very much.
Wang Feng said to everyone: "Everyone, Zhao Xin is unwilling to fight now, and he acts like he is defending Tunliu. There are tens of thousands of Zhao troops in Tunliu City. With the current strength of our army, it is impossible to attack Tunliu City for a strong attack, so there is no other way except Nangui."
"Then why are we here for?" Bai Qi's biological brother Bai Chen complained after hearing Wang Feng's words, and the other people's expressions were not that good-looking.
Seeing this, Bai Qi smiled and said, "Who said that we have no effect here? From what happened today, I have learned what kind of person Zhao Xin is. This is enough. Next, I will formulate a strategy for Zhao Xin. Please believe that the final victory must belong to my Daqin."
"The Great Qin Dynasty has won thousands of victories!" Everyone said in unison.
The Qin army stayed outside the city for a day, and on the sixth day of the second month, he pulled out his camp and headed south to his eldest son. When Zhao Xin knew that the Qin army had retreated and returned south, he looked at the Qin army away from the city and sighed: "Bai Qi, it's really a famous general in the world!"
In Zhao Xin's opinion, Bai Qi became famous at a young age and would be a bit impatient in his temperament, so he rejected Bai Qi's letter of war and said a few ugly words, just to see if Bai Qi would be angry and irritated and attack the city. If Bai Qi really did this, then such a Bai Qi and Zhao Xin said that he would not take it seriously, but Bai Qi chose to withdraw troops at this time, which made Zhao Xin look at him differently and know how to advance and retreat. This is Zhao Xin's evaluation of Bai Qi, and it also made Zhao Xin gradually pay attention to Bai Qi.
Although the first fight between Zhao Xin and Bai Qi was not fought with real swords and guns, it does not mean that there is no smell of gunpowder. After this war story incident, both Bai Qi and Zhao Xin had a preliminary understanding of the other party, so the next battle will definitely be very exciting.
Just as Zhao Xin and Bai Qi were tempting each other in Tunliu City, Zhang Di, the general of Chu State far away in Pengcheng County, also assembled a 50,000 army under his command, stationed in Wu County, a border city adjacent to Pengcheng County and Pei County, where he could attack Pei County at any time.
In February, although the area of Shangdang County is still covered with snow, the Central Plains has basically been melted, and spring has entered. After the New Year, Zhang Di learned that Zhao State was drawing troops from all over the country to Shangdang County, and the defense of the Central Plains was relaxed. Zhang Di thought that the opportunity was finally coming, so he immediately wrote to King Xiang Kuang of Chu, asking him to send someone to Wancheng, and asked Deng State to move his troops a little to attract the attention of the Zhao army in the Central Plains so that the Chu army could successfully capture Pei County.
