It was still dark, but the morning light was just beginning to show, and Xiang An's army took action.
Donghai City is in the northeast of Xiapi, and it will take about three days for the entire army to reach it at full speed.
The defender of the East China Sea is named Li Zhan. He is the largest remnant of the Qin army remaining in the lower reaches of the river, but it is now at the end of its strength.
From Donghai City to the mouth of the river, all areas are controlled by Li Zhan, but around Li Zhan, there are Xiang Liang in the south and fields in the north. The supply and trade of materials are directly strangled, and this is the old Chu land. , without force, they would not even be able to supplement the number of soldiers.
Even so, Li Zhan still held on to the author's tenacious and restless resistance between Qi and Chu, which can be called the biggest bomb behind Qi and Chu.
A trapped beast still fighting to the death can be described as the current Li Zhan. Although everyone knew that he was almost at the end, his crazy posture made everyone subconsciously not want to care about him.
But now someone has to take care of it.
In any case, even if Li Zhan basically won't take the initiative and always stays in Donghai City, as long as he still exists there, he will be a thorn in Xiang Liang's side and something that must be removed, and the sooner he is removed, the better. .
Therefore, Xiang An and several generals went out to fight.
The two division commanders went first and attacked Donghai City, while Xiang An led the other troops and waited in the rear. When Zijuan and Xiang Lu led Li Zhan's main army out, they rushed out from the rear in one fell swoop. Crush Li Zhan's main force.
It's a very simple strategy, but it has a high chance of being effective.
This is Han Xin and Xiang An's thinking about this battle in the East China Sea - if there is no favorable time, place and people, then we will create one!
If that doesn't work, just break down the city gate! Destroy it with the situation!
"Drive - go at full speed! Get to Kun County this evening!" Xiang An shouted, riding a galloping horse in the lead, ignoring the speeding scenery on the roadside, always paying attention to the situation of the army.
Xiang Lu followed Xiang An and laughed involuntarily.
This feeling really makes my blood boil.
Master Anno... For many reasons, I have to hide my presence, so I'm sorry, I can't stand by your side this time, but...
Because of this, you who are leading the way and leaving everyone behind are the real you!
...
In a courtyard in Xiapi, a thin young man opened his eyes.
"...No, nightmare?" He sat on the bed, holding his forehead, with a little disbelief in his eyes.
He closed his eyes again and touched his chest. There was no longer that suffocating feeling as if he was blocked by a big stone.
Silently putting on her shoes and getting out of bed, Zi Huai felt extremely refreshed as she walked to the bedside.
The desire to cut his own arm with a dagger was gone.
"Is it...sister?" He touched his eyes and found that there were two lines of tears on his face at some point, and he didn't know if they were shed due to yawning or... .....for some other reason.
Licking her lips, Zi Huai silently wiped away the tears on her face, took off her pajamas, and planned to change into clothes and visit Liu Ji's military camp.
Zi Juan has gone out to fight now, and Zi Huai is still very rational, so he understands that he won't be able to see Zi Juan recently.
Taking off his white pajamas, what was revealed from under the clothes were scars.
Many scars, countless scars.
From the upper arm to the wrist, there are dense scars all over, both arms.
The scars were overlapping, deformed and morbid, but Zi Huai looked accustomed to it. He put on his robe with a nonchalant expression, opened the door, felt the sunshine, and showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
It’s great that my sister is still here...
stop--
In the blink of an eye, Zi Huai disappeared.
...
In Liu Ji's military camp, he is currently cooperating with Xiang Yu to integrate the army. Since Chen Ying has a larger number of people, Xiang Liang goes there in person.
"The military position is military general, which is the same level as mine. If you get military merit, the number of the army will be very large now. Maybe you can directly become a general of the three armies." Xiang Yu stood next to Liu Ji, his face There was a faint smile on his face.
"Then let me borrow your good advice from Brother Xiang." Liu Ji is also a very easy-going person. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he doesn't look very old, and he looks a little older than Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu turned his head and glanced at Liu Ji. He seemed a little surprised by Liu Ji's calling him brother, but he didn't care so much.
"The generals on my side can just use the original ones, but do you need to add some more?" Liu Ji also turned his head, just in time to meet Xiang Yu's eyes, and said teasingly.
"No need, we are the orthodox people of Chu, there is no need to deal with these nonsense." Xiang An shook his head, "And you have just defected to us, so you might as well speak more clearly. We need your trust, so we won't I’m stingy and give you the power.”
"But you have to figure out your own position. The prerequisite for us to need your trust is that you need our power." Xiang Yu became serious and looked at Liu Ji seriously. Even though he was almost half the age of Liu Ji, But the power was so powerful that Liu Ji couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
"Some things are good for both parties, and some things will only hurt you. You should know this." Xiang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, making Liu Ji swallow his saliva.
But then, Xiang Yu's expression changed and he became relaxed again: "But I still think highly of Brother Liu. From now on, we will all be colleagues and look after each other on the battlefield."
After that, Xiang Yu patted Liu Ji on the shoulder, turned around and left.
After reorganizing the army, he needed to report to Xiang Liang quickly. The next operation organized in Xue County had to be carried out quickly.
Moreover, King Huai needed to be escorted back to Xutai to establish his capital. This task fell to Xiang Yu's division commander Jiang Chun. Xiang Yu also had to rearrange the combat effectiveness of his men according to the temporary departure of personnel.
All in all, the entire army was operating at high speed.
Liu Ji looked at Xiang Yu's back and shook his head, muttering in a low voice: "Isn't this big stick plus jujube a bit too explicit..."
stop--
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Liu Ji.
"Oh shit!" Liu Ji, who was concentrating on thinking, was so frightened that he jumped out all the way with his legs.
"General, I'm back." After a closer look, it was Zi Huai who was kneeling on one knee and saluting Liu Ji.
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Who did I say it was? It turned out to be Ashu... Well, didn't I tell you? You are not my general. You don't have to salute when you see me. Why did you forget it again?" "
Liu Jizhuai walked over, helped Zi Huai up, and patted the dust off his body.
