Lian Po actually encountered some trouble at this time.

In summer noon, people always feel a heat wave lingers around, even

The trouble did not come from outside, in fact, the entire siege has looked smooth sailing so far.

Sticking to Chencheng is already a very difficult task for Chu State.

Until 30,000 Chu reinforcements suddenly appeared outside Chencheng.

After hearing the news, Lian Po immediately fell on the table.

"What the hell is going on? Where did these Chu reinforcements come from?"

In Lian Po's perception, this is simply impossible.

Now that the coalition forces of the four countries of Han, Zhao, Wei and Qi are sieging cities and land in Chu, the people of Chu should have been too busy to take care of themselves, where did the army come from?

Lian Po was surprised by the results he heard.

Le Cheng said to Lian Po: "General, this army came from the former territory of Yue, mainly the troops in Huang Xie's fiefdom, as well as some other Chu nobles."

"Huang Xie's soldiers?" Lian Po frowned slightly. Of course, he knew where Huang Xie's soldiers came from. It was a place that was very close to the east, and was called Shanghai in later generations.

The old general shook his head, with a strange expression on his face: "No, no, if he came from there, why did the people of Qi not respond at all?"

Logically speaking, from Huang Xie’s fiefdom to Chencheng, there will definitely be Huaibei land occupied by the Qi people. Even if the Qi people do not fight with this Chu army, they must at least inform the Zhao army?

"General, the people of Qi have withdrawn."

"What?" Lian Po's eyes widened even bigger than the bronze bell: "Why did the Qi people withdraw their troops?"

Judging from the last scout's return a few days ago, the Qi people can be said to have played triumphant songs all the way, completely sweeping across the entire eastern part of the Huaibei region of Chu, and even preparing to march into Huainan and drink horses from the Yangtze River.

Just a few days have passed, why did the people of Qi retreat?

Le Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know until the end, but it is said to be related to Yan State. It seems that Yan State sent troops to attack Qi State again."

"Yan State?" Lian Po's expression became even more strange: "Shouldn't Yan State be our ally? How could he attack Qi?"

After a while, the old general shook his hand and decided to put the ruins of Qi aside: "Forget it, even if the Qi people withdraw their troops and use the joint efforts of the Three Jins, the Chu people will not be the opponent! Wait, there is a problem!"

Lian Po suddenly jumped up, looked at the map with bright eyes for a while, then looked up at Le Cheng and said, "Where is the Wei army now?"

Le Cheng said: "The people of Wei are attacking Suzhou."

Lian Po yelled and sneered undisguisedly: "Suzhou, hum! Suzhou is only two or three days away from the Huaihe River. Thirty thousand Chu troops headed north from the Huaihe River. The Wei army in Suzhou knew nothing. Do you think this is possible?"

Le Cheng then suddenly realized and said, "Did the Wei people and the Chu people collude with each other?"

Lian Po shook his head and said, "There is a war between Wei and Chu, and the Wei State has also occupied the western part of Huaibei. I guess the two countries will not make peace so easily, but the Wei State... Humph, I have never been loyal to my Zhao State! In my opinion, this must be because the Wei State deliberately released the reinforcements of Chu State, hoping to use this to consume our strength!"

Le Cheng was immediately annoyed when he heard this: "The Wei people are very familiar with the matter. Now Zhao and Wei are allies. Since this is still a waste of work!"

Lian Po also shook his head, his face full of depression.

The 30,000 troops, say more but less, happens to be the kind of troops that are difficult to swallow in one bite, and have enough ability to restrain the number of Zhao's army.

In this case, the Zhao army's next siege of Chen Cheng will no longer be as unscrupulous as before, and the pressure Chen Cheng will inevitably be reduced a lot.

Just when Lian Po and Le Cheng were depressed, a voice rang outside the tent.

"General, Zhao Kuo has urgent matters to ask for a meeting!"

"Come in!"

Zhao Kuo walked in.

Five years have passed since the Battle of Changping. Zhao Kuo is no longer the guy who was born to be a newborn calf who was not afraid of being arrogant. His five-year military career not only made this horse uniform become darker and stronger, but also his temperament becomes more calm.

Many Zhao military generals, including Lian Po, believed that as long as Zhao Kuo was given ten or fifteen years, he would definitely be able to grow into a general like his father Zhao She, and he would even be able to win the title of second monarch for their branch!

Lian Po said: "Zhao Kuo, what military information do you have, even if you say it."

Zhao Kuo showed a look of excitement on his face and said, "General, when our scout was investigating the movements of the enemy outside the city, he accidentally discovered that the enemy outside the city had sent a secret spy, as if he wanted to get close to Chencheng!"

"Oh?" Lian Po raised his eyebrows and said, "Has it been intercepted?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said proudly: "General, the best cavalry in the country in Zhao State, how can there be no reason to cut it off? Although the Chu people used a lot of tricks, all the messengers had been shot and killed by our army!"

"All?" Lian Po and Le Cheng widened their eyes, obviously not convinced them very much.

Zhao Kuo looked at the expressions of the two generals and felt a little unhappy, and repeated the words just now.

"Please remember us, Zhao Bianqi, the best in the world!"

This time, Zhao Kuo brought the two thousand most elite cavalry and a thousand armored cavalry among the border cavalry of Zhao. Among these cavalry, there were many super sharpshooters. Even the birds flying out of Chen Ying City were not able to leave the city five miles away. It would be a big deal to kill a few messengers who wanted to quietly cross the Zhao army's blockade line?

After Zhao Kuo finished showing off, he took out a few pieces of silk paper from his arms, carefully placed it in front of Lian Po, and put them into a complete piece of paper: "This is something seized from the messenger. Please check it out by the General and General Lecheng!"

Lian Po and Le Cheng looked at each other and saw a surprise look in each other's eyes: "Is this Yin Shu?"

Yin Shu is a special intelligence transmission format used to communicate secrets in this era, and belongs to the highest level of intelligence.

"Hurry up, where is the Dan Water? Let's take it to make this Yin Book appear!"

A bowl of elixir was poured onto Yinshu, and after a while, several lines of handwriting began to slowly appear.

The three heads stood side by side on the table, and the three pairs of eyes looked at the Yin Shu in front of them without a moment.

Lian Po said hesitate and looked up first: "What is said in this letter is useless to us!" The disappointment was beyond words.

This Yin Book actually explains two points. The first is that there are a total of 36,000 Chu troops coming to support, and the second is that the person who led this Chu army was Zhao Hai, the prefect of Dongyue County of Chu. Then, it reassured the king that I must do my best.

However, these are all known information to the Zhao army. Of course, intercepting these messengers can indeed prevent the Chu military and civilians in Chencheng from increasing their morale after learning that reinforcements have arrived, but that's all.

The expression on Le Cheng's face was almost the same as that on Lian Po, and he also looked disappointed and sighed: "I heard that the war in Hedong County is not good at the moment. If we cannot make contributions here, the king will definitely be extremely dissatisfied."

Lian Po and Le Cheng looked at each other and saw the helplessness on each other's face.

Only Zhao Kuo's eyes kept turning, and after a while, he suddenly said: "General, General Le Cheng, actually, I think this may be a good opportunity to break through Chencheng!"

"What?" Lian Po and Le Cheng were shocked at the same time and asked hurriedly: "What are your plans? Why don't you tell me quickly!"

Zhao Kuo smiled, suddenly took out something from his arms and whispered: "Two generals, please see this thing."

Lian Po and Le Cheng looked carefully, then their bodies were shocked at the same time, showing a surprised and joyful expression: "Is this thing actually seized by you?"

The next moment, two extremely cheerful laughters rang out in the handsome tent, mixed with a loud thunder and Zhao Kuo screams, and Le Cheng's scolding.
