: Han Qing made a plan

In Fengxian County, Yue Fei received the good news from Xue Rengui and was overjoyed. He had never doubted Xue Rengui's ability. It was no problem to defend Zhuqiu. However, he did not expect that Xue Rengui gave him such a big surprise, exceeding 50,000 Wei troops. This was the greatest victory he had achieved since the war began. Especially now that the war in Lu County was worrying and the situation in the East Army was tense, this great victory could be said to have revitalized the confidence of the soldiers of the East Army. Yue Fei immediately ordered people to deliver the good news to Peicheng.

It was already late June when the news of Xue Rengui's defeat of 50,000 Wei troops reached Peicheng. At this time, Zhang Chuan defeated Yu Zilong and the news of the fall of Lu County also reached Peicheng. This made the soldiers of the Eastern Army very disappointed and could not help but wonder whether they could win this battle. However, after the news of Zhu Qiu's victory spread, the whole city was excited, allowing countless soldiers to regain their confidence, and finally wiped out the decline of Lu County's defeat.

But before Han Qing was happy for a while, Qi County's urgent request for help arrived at Peicheng, saying that the Zhao army under Sima Chong's troops were fierce in offensives. After Zhang Chuan captured Kelu County, Sima Chong's defense was no longer threatened. So Sima Chong transferred all the troops originally stationed in Gongqiu and Fan County and Xue County to the city of Qi County, leaving only 5,000 troops to guard Gongqiu.

In this way, 95,000 Zhao troops gathered under Qi County. Sima Chong attacked day and night, and nearly half of the 30,000 Chen troops under Xie Xun lost. After repeated consideration, Xie Xun decided to send someone to ask Han Qing for help.

After receiving Xie Xun's letter of help, Han Qing immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Han Qing circulated Xie Xun's letter of help from the letter, saying: "The situation in Qi County is worrying now, and only half of the 30,000 Chen troops are left. If Sima Chong's attack is followed, Qi County will soon be lost. For this reason, I plan to take a risk."

"I don't know what the marshal is going to do?" After Longchuan left, Zhang Di, commander of the Chu army, asked that Qi County is the territory of Chu State, and no one here is more concerned than him.

Han Qing opened the map and said in front of everyone: "Look, the situation in Qi County is urgent now. If we do not send more reinforcements, we may soon lose. However, even if we send more reinforcements, Qi County can defend it, but it cannot eliminate Sima Chong's troops. The situation in Qi County will not be improved. For this reason, I plan to take a try."

"Now that Zhao Xin's army has retreated to Hulu, and cannot threaten Peicheng in a short time. The general plans to personally lead troops to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Qi, ambush the only way to Guangqi. At the same time, Xie Xun's troops are ordered to give up Qixian and flee south to Guangqi, luring Sima Chong to Guangqi, and lure Sima Chong to Guangqi. The general is ambushing him halfway. As long as the plan is done properly, it is not a problem to wipe out Sima Chong's troops, but there are advantages and disadvantages. If Sima Chong notices something and stops in Qixian, then Qixian will probably no longer be owned by our army." Han Qing revealed his plans and told the disadvantages of this plan.

After hearing this, everyone was silent. Although Qi County was small, its location was very important. If Qi County was lost, then the only barrier to Sima Chong's troops would be Guangqi left in Peicheng, which still means that in order to protect Guangqi and protect Peicheng, Han Qing had to put most of the troops in Peicheng. In this way, even if Han Qing went to Hulu in the north, it would be difficult to achieve success. However, as the saying goes, wealth and honor were in danger. As long as Sima Chong fell into the trap, he could annihilate Sima Chong's 100,000 troops in one fell swoop, completely eliminate the threat from the northeast direction of Peicheng, and even recover Xue County, Fan County, Gongqiu and other places in one fell swoop, move the front north, and threaten Hulu. You can also break into Lu County, Shanyang County, and Rencheng County when the battle in Hulu is enough to reverse the entire battle situation.

"Marson, my subordinates think it is feasible. As long as the Hulu direction does not notice that the marshal leaves Peicheng, Sima Chong will definitely lead his troops south to Guangqi. He often heard that Sima Chong and Zhang Chuan are not very harmonious. The two have been competing secretly. Now that Zhang Chuan has won such a big victory in Lu County, Sima Chong must be anxious and wants to achieve an abnormal victory and not allow Zhang Chuan to compete. Therefore, without Zhao Xin's order, he will continue to go south." As Han Qing's old partner and Qi army military advisor, Kuai Li was the first to come out to support Han Qing, and Kuai Li analyzed the relationship between Sima Chong and Zhang Chuan, and gave a positive answer to whether Sima Chong would take the opportunity to go south.

"But Marshal, if Sima Chong fails to fall into the trap, wouldn't he give up Qi County?" Zhang Di hesitated. This was the city of Chu. Of course, Han Qing and others didn't feel much distress, but Zhang Di felt very distressed. According to what Han Qing said, if Sima Chong saw through Han Qing's plan and stopped Qi County, it would be very difficult to recover Qi County again.

"General Zhang, I think the marshal's plan is feasible." At this time, the Chu army military advisor Chen Ding came out to support Han Qing.

"Mr. Chen, you..." Zhang Di was surprised to see Chen Ding support Han Qing. You must know that Chen Ding is a minister of Chu, so why did you give up the city of Chu easily? This made Zhang Di very puzzled.

"General Zhang is a little restless, listen to Chen explain to you slowly." Chen Ding explained to Zhang Di: "Mr. Han's plan seems to be risky, but in fact he has a high chance of success. If Sima Chong's troops can be wiped out, then our army can not only bring Qi County back, but even Xue County, Fan County, and Gongqiu can be brought back, and even continue to go north to Lu County. Therefore, when the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, Chen supports Mars. Han."

"Okay, since Mr. Chen has said that, the last general also supports Marshal Han." Although Zhang Di temporarily commanded the Chu army, his prestige was far inferior to Longchuan. Even Chen Ding, the military advisor, had a better prestige in the army than him. After all, Chen Ding served as Longchuan's military advisor for many years, and the two were golden partners. What could others change with slight words?

Seeing that Zhang Di was convinced, Han Qing immediately made a decision: "Since that's the case, then I will personally lead a 100,000 army of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Huangfu Rong, Shangguan Qingyang, Taishiwei and Wu Lie to accompany the army. At the same time, in order not to let Hulu realize that I left Peicheng, Zhang Di and He Jiong took the banner of me to take charge of the army."

"Here!" the generals responded.

At the end of June of the eighth year of Qianyuan, Han Qing led an army of 100,000 to leave Peicheng, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

In Qi County, Xie Xun also received a military order from Han Qing to withdraw his troops. He also felt that Qi County could not be defended. Besides, this is the city of Chu, so why should he fight so hard for the people of Chu? So without saying a word, he took advantage of the night to take advantage of the night when he received the military order and led 15,000 remaining troops to evacuate Qi County.

The next day, Sima Chong saw the empty Qi County, and there was some doubt at first, but the scout came to report that Xie Xun had already led the army to Guangqi all the way south, which made Sima Chong believe that Xie Xun could not hold on anymore and abandoned Qi County, so he immediately led the army to Qi County.
