As soon as Liu Ying sent Liu Bang away, his uncle Lu Ze sent an urgent report. Xiang Yu led his army to attack Chenggao, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
I was full of confidence just now, but now I can't help but be worried.
Without him, Xiang Yu would be too terrifying.
In other aspects, he is mentally retarded, headstrong, cruel and tyrannical... But no one can deny that the Overlord is the ceiling of today's combat power. Anyone who encounters him will have a headache.
Lu Ze followed Liu Bang's example and went to the city in person to supervise the bloody battle.
On the first day, Lu Ze had three more wounds on his body.
On the seventh day, he received another arrow in the chest.
Fortunately, Lu Ze had experience in fighting in Xiayi, and Lu Ze risked his life to keep Cheng Gao from losing.
Another three days passed, and Lu Ze was still thinking about how to deal with it. The Chu army did not continue to attack. On the contrary, it retreated thirty miles.
Cheng Gao turned the corner in an instant. Could it be that Xiang Yu was attracted by the king?
Lu Ze was so surprised that he quickly ordered the city defense to be in order and to strengthen the alert to prevent the Chu army from attacking again.
At this moment, in the Chu camp, Lu Pheasant was holding a ladle of water and feeding it to a young woman.
This woman only looks like a teenager, with a thin figure and delicate features. If it weren't for the scar on her forehead, she would be a good-looking girl.
She took two sips of water, then looked up at Lu Pheasant. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she burst out crying.
"Sister, sister! My life is so miserable!"
Lu Zhi reached out and hugged her, comforting her in a low voice, "Cry, it will be fine if you just cry."
While crying, the woman told Lu Pheasant that she was from Xingyang and was about to get married. However, the war broke out and her fiancé died in the battle. Her two brothers acted as husbandmen and died in the corridor. Then her father was injured while guarding the city. Fall, fall to death.
Unable to bear the repeated blows, my mother chose to throw herself into a well.
"They're all dead, they're all dead! My home is gone, I'm the only one left."
Lu Zhi hugged the girl lovingly and said softly: "The world is like this, I can't say anything, just try your best to live!"
The woman nodded, but then said: "I want to die. Someone is recruiting women, saying that they want us to go out of the city, pretend to be Han soldiers, and help the King of Han escape!"
Lu Zhi was startled and couldn't help but ask: "Is this really happening?"
The woman nodded.
Lu Pheasant asked again, "How can a woman go to the battlefield?"
The woman was helpless, "I don't understand either. I just thought that if I could help King Han, even death would be worth it. If King Han is alive, I can kill Xiang Yu and avenge my family!"
Only then did Lu Pheasant understand that it was no wonder that a long time ago, Chuying seemed to be going crazy and snatched many people in. After several days of tossing, many more bodies were transported out and buried hastily.
This must be it.
The woman in front of me was also sent here by someone from Xiang Bo.
Lu Pheasant has already understood most of the cause and effect.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Liu Ji, Liu Ji!
Are you so embarrassed?
Then, can you still defeat Xiang Yu?
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" the woman asked timidly.
Lu Zhi shook his head quickly, stretched out his hand and hugged her harder, "It's okay, I only have one sister, and I don't know if I can see her again. From now on, you will be my biological sister!"
Lu Fei waited for a few more days in uneasiness.
Then news came that the Overlord led his army to Nanyang to kill the King of Han.
Nanyang?
King of Han?
Liu Ji, you are not dead yet!
Not only did he not die, he also regained his fighting spirit so quickly. If Xingyang doesn't work, then go to Nanyang!
good!
You are worthy of being my beloved, Lu Pheasant!
Have courage!
Lu Pheasant hugged his newly recognized sister excitedly and said excitedly: "Believe me, sooner or later, Xiang Yu will be defeated!"
Xiang Yu moved, and Liu Bang wanted to fight, but was stopped by someone.
His name is Zheng Zhong, a doctor sent to Liu Bang by Liu Ying.
"Your Majesty, have you ever fished?"
Liu Bang snorted: "I have eaten it, and I can't stand it when fishing."
Zheng Zhong said: "Your Majesty, Xiang Yu is like a giant creature in the river. Even after biting the hook, it is difficult to lift it up suddenly. It can only be collected when all the strength is exhausted. Now that he can lead troops to Nanyang, Your Majesty has won. The next step is to deep ditch It's a high base, just hold on and don't get out, don't take any risks!"
Liu Bang took a deep breath, nodded, and followed Zheng Zhong's suggestion.
Just holding on blindly, with deep trenches and high bases, is not the way to defeat the enemy!
Liu Bang walked around irritably and sighed.
Also discussing this issue were Liu Ying, Zhang Liang and Lu Ze.
"Back in Xiayi, the Chu army was tired but could still hold on. This time the Chu army was far more powerful than before. It's really hard for the king to hold out for so long in Xingyang. If it had been me, I would have been overwhelmed. ." Lu Ze lamented in a low voice.
Liu Ying was quite optimistic, "Uncle, there is no need to be humble. You and Xiang Yu fought twice. The first time you successfully covered my father's retreat, and the second time you saved Cheng Gao. You won twice!"
Lu Ze laughed dumbly, "The prince is ridiculous. Although he said he won, I have no confidence to face Xiang Yu."
The three of them looked at each other. Strategically, Liu Bang's chances of winning were getting bigger and bigger. All forces were mobilized, and the plan to conquer the city was fully launched. Everyone with a little knowledge, up and down, firmly believed that the King of Han would win.
However, there is always the cruelest reality lying in front of everyone.
That is Xiang Yu's terrifying combat power.
Thirty thousand people can overthrow the coalition of 560,000 princes.
No matter when it comes, don't underestimate Xiang Yu's ability to make an extreme comeback.
Therefore, if no one can defeat Xiang Yu head-on, destroying Chu is still a wishful thinking.
Who is the sword holder who will destroy Chu?
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Uncle, there is no need to worry, our general, Han Xin, is enough!"
Liu Ying was full of confidence, but Lu Ze hesitated to speak.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Liang took the initiative to speak, "Han Xin is indeed a powerful soldier. He secretly attacked Chencang and succeeded in the first battle. But he is still inferior to the overlord. Otherwise, when we made the plan, we would not have allowed the king to stay in Xingyang while Han Xin went. The land of Sanjin has been recovered."
Liu Ying frowned and suddenly understood, "Master, it turns out that you are giving the general a chance to practice, so that he can hone his abilities first, and then have a battle with Xiang Yu, the ultimate showdown?"
Zhang Liang nodded and said thoughtfully: "I do have this intention, but I don't know yet whether the general can take this step. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of famous generals. But to defeat Xiang Yu, one must have an extraordinary military strategist and immortal talent! "
Liu Ying smiled, "Xiang Yu can be called the God of War, and only the Immortal of War can defeat him! Master, don't worry, the general will definitely be able to do it."
Zhang Liang was surprised for a while, "The prince actually trusts the general so much?"
Liu Ying couldn't help but laugh, "In my heart, the three masters are no different, they are just good at different things."
Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin!
Liu Ying has enough confidence in them.
At this moment, Han Xin held a secret report in his hand. After reading it, with a smile on his face, he turned and handed it to Zhang Er and Cao Shen beside him.
After seeing it, these two people were also overjoyed.
"General, Li Zuoche suggested that we send troops to cut off our food road, and then build deep ditches and high fortresses to hold on. In this way, the Han army will be defeated in ten days. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu didn't listen. He gave up the danger of Jingxing Mountain and wanted to fight with us. Fighting openly and honestly is really asking for death!" Cao Shen said unceremoniously.
Han Xin sneered on his face, "It's not that Chen Yu doesn't understand, it's that he doesn't dare!"
Zhang Er and Cao Shen were both shocked, "General, why did you say this?"
Han Xin smiled and said: "King Changshan and Chen Yu had a close relationship with each other, so naturally we knew... After Chen Sheng raised the banner in Daze Township, he sent military officials to return to Zhao, but the military officials were killed by his subordinate Li Liang. Chen Yu was in the battle of Julu. Unwilling to send troops, King Changshan broke off relations with Chen Yu."
Zhang Er nodded, "I misjudged this person, Mr. Chen Yu!"
Han Xin laughed and said, "Yes, after Xiang Yu divided the kings, Chen Yu colluded with Tian Rong and rebelled against King Changshan because he did not get the throne. Zhao Xie was made King of Zhao, and Zhao Xie made Chen Yu the acting king, named Anjun. People who act like this say that righteous soldiers don’t need to use deceit and tricks! When did he, Chen Yu, have such righteousness?"
Zhang Er's whole body shook violently and he agreed, "Congratulations, General!"
Han Xin said loudly: "Chen Yu did not use Li Zuoche's plan, but he was worried that Li Zuoche would replace him! Zhao Dai's soldiers are so disloyal that they will not dare to use their lives. Our army will win this battle!"
"Send an order to select two thousand light cavalry, each holding a Han army battle flag, and go from the remote road to the side of the Zhao army's camp, preparing to seize the opportunity to attack the Zhao army's camp and cut off the enemy's return. Then select ten thousand people to cross Jingxingkou. Go to the east of the Mianman River and form an array with your back to the water!"
"General, are you going to form a formation with your back against the water?" Cao Shen asked in surprise.
Han Xin smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a last-ditch fight!"
