Perhaps Xu Feng dared to use these rebel soldiers.

 But now, Xu Feng would not use these rebel soldiers, but it was impossible to let them go. Wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain if he let them go.

 It just so happened that Xu Feng was going to make a lot of steel next, so let these rebel soldiers dig mines.

 When Xu Feng made this decision, the order of the more than 3000 rebel soldiers had already been decided, and it would definitely not be very good.

 In this era, once the captives leave the mine, basically there are only these kinds of results.

 Either die from exhaustion, or die of illness, or die slowly.

 But at this time, Xu Feng would not allow himself much kindness.

 If he wanted to survive and save Daqin, he was doomed to step on thousands of corpses and stand up again.

 And this is probably just the beginning!

Chapter 23 Choosing the Second Way

 23 choose the second way

 [Laolong's new book, please recommend it for collection! 】

 The defeated Liu Bang returned to Lantian two days later with more than [-] remnants of his troops. There was still a large amount of food, grass and ordnance left by him here, and he had to come back to get it.

 Back all the way, Liu Bangjun's overall morale was low, and everyone looked like eggplants beaten by Shuang.

 Before they sent troops to Xianyang with high morale and full of confidence, Liu Bang even started to advance Xianyang City and win the idea of ​​the king of Guanzhong.

 But in the end, they returned in a disastrous defeat, lost their soldiers and generals, lost [-] elite soldiers, and even their confidant and beloved general Zhou Bo was captured by the Qin army.

 In particular, when Liu Bang returned to Lantian, he received a return from the spies.

 It is said that at this time, Xiang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops captured Luoyang without bloodshed, and they were raising food for the army in the Luoyang area, and they would send troops to Guanzhong soon.

 Xiang Yu's battle went smoothly and he was full of vigor. Compared with the majestic appearance of hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, compared with his own disastrous defeat at this time, the loss of soldiers and generals made Liu Bang feel even more uncomfortable.

 "Ovary, what should we do next?"

 Liu Bang was in a bad mood and had no idea what to do next, so he had to turn to Zhang Liang for help.

 At this time, Zhang Liang was in a 'daze' and didn't hear Liu Bang's inquiry.

 Zhang Liang didn't react until Liu Bang called him several times.

 "Sorry, Peigong, I was distracted."

 "Ovary, what are you thinking?"

 "Pei Gong, Zifang is thinking, at the beginning of the month, Xiang Yu was blocked in the Luoyang area, unable to advance an inch, and Li You's 10,000+ Qin army was fighting hard in Sanchuan County.

 Why did they suddenly attack Luo Yang without bloodshed?I'm afraid there is a big secret in it!

 Our messenger, don't you have more detailed information? "

 Zhang Liang said with a thoughtful look on his face.

 Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Xiao He who was beside him hurriedly added: "Zifang thought the same as me. I just asked the messenger who reported the letter and got more detailed information."

 "Oh? Come on."

 Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, and he urged Xiao He that he wanted to verify his guess.

 "The messenger said that Xiang Yu was unable to attack Luoyang City for a long time.

 Li You, the guard of Luoyang, was the son of Li Si, and he was still very loyal to Da Qin. Xiang Yu sent people to surrender, but Li You refused.

 However, Li You commanded nearly 30 Qin troops in Luoyang City, and he insisted on blocking Xiang Yu's more than [-] troops. The two sides fought fiercely for half a month.

 But just a few days ago, when Xiang Yu led his army to rest and was ready to fight again, he was surprised to find that Luoyang City opposite was already empty.

 There was not a single Qin army in the city, and the Qin army led by Li You had already withdrawn from Luoyang City during the night two days ago.

 Only then did Xiang Yu attack Luo Yang without bloodshed.

 According to news, Li You's army, who was withdrawing, seemed to have withdrawn to Hangu Pass. "

 Xiao He narrated.

 "Is there such a good thing? Is Li You a fool to give such an important town as Luoyang to Xiang Yu for nothing?"

 Fan Kuai on the side said loudly.

 On the contrary, Zhang Liang laughed after listening.

 "If my guess is correct, Li You in Luoyang City led the army to secretly withdraw from Luoyang and retreat to station at Hangu Pass, most likely because of Hu Hai's order.

 Because Hu Hai killed Zhao Gao in Xianyang City, so Li You led his army back.

 Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li You to lead the army back.

 Have you noticed that Hu Hai, the tyrant who was deceived by Zhao Gao before and played with his hands, seemed to be enlightened overnight.

 In Xianyang City, Hu Hai's power had long been emptied by Zhao Gao. Under such circumstances, it was absolutely difficult for Hu Hai to kill Zhao Gao. I don't know how he did it.

 It is also a good move to order Li You to be transferred back, to abandon Luoyang, and to retreat to Hangu Pass.

 With Zhang Han's surrender to Xiang Yu, the main army of Tyrant Qin was basically destroyed, and the [-] Qin army in Li You's hands was basically the last soldier of Tyrant Qin.

 And a mere Luoyang, to Daqin, is completely tasteless, but Hangu Pass, as the gateway into Guanzhong, is more suitable for defense.

 In the previous battle between us and Qin Jun, Qin Jun was even more careful, setting up tricks one after another. Looking back now, I think it was amazing.

 I don't believe that all of this was conceived by Hu Hai, the stupid king of Tyranny.

 Therefore, I guess, it is very likely that a powerful counselor appeared beside Hu Hai and planned all this for him.

 This person is strategizing, thoughtful, and sees the long-term. He is a powerful person. I really want to meet this person now.

 I don't know which family it came from, the Legalists? "

 Zhang Liang told Liu Bang and others what he thought of, and even the sudden appearance of such a master aroused his desire to compete.

 "Zifang's analysis is pretty good. A lot of things have indeed happened on Baoqin's side in the past month. Now that I think about it, it's really unbelievable."

 Xiao He also nodded, agreeing with Zhang Liang's guess.

 However, Liu Bang wasn't very interested in Zhang Liang's guess. What he wanted to know more now was how they should go next.

 "We have two paths ahead.

 The first way is for Pei Gong to take our [-] remnant troops to Luoyang to join Xiang Yu's army. "

 "Zhang Liang, what are you talking about, let us go to Luoyang to join that bastard Xiang Yu, thanks to your idea, we won't go if we are killed."

 Guan Ying next to him roared.

 "That's right, never go to that reckless Xiang Yu." Xiao He also objected.

 Since these people chose to follow Liu Bang at the beginning, they didn't have much affection for Xiang Yu.

 At this time, Liu Bang also nodded and said, "Zifang, what about the other way?"

 The implication is that Liu Bang also does not agree to go to Xiang Yu.

 Just kidding, let Liu Bang go to Xiang Yu at this time, wouldn't it make Xiang Yu see his own joke!

 Even for the sake of face, Liu Bang would not agree to this.

 Furthermore, Liu Bang is now the Marquis of Wu'an anyway, so he can bet with Xiang Yu that the one who enters Xianyang City first will be the king of Guanzhong, and his status is equal.

 If he took the remnants of his army and went to join Xiang Yu now, wouldn't he become Xiang Yu's subordinate in the future? Liu Bang would never accept it.

 For such a result, Zhang Liang seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, smiled, and then continued: "The second way is to give up attacking Xianyang City, go west, and seize Hanzhong County.

 Then, in Hanzhong County, recruited new soldiers and made a comeback.

 If my prediction is correct, within two months, Xiang Yu will lead his army to attack Guanzhong.

 At that time, Tyranny will definitely gather all his soldiers and horses to fight Xiang Yu in a decisive battle, and the decisive battle will most likely be at Hangu Pass.

 At that time, Pei Gong was sending troops from Hanzhong, and he could reach Xianyang in two or three days.

 Hanzhong, for us at this time, is an excellent strategic place. It can be attacked in advance, and Bashu can be defended in retreat. It can be said that it can be attacked in advance and defended in retreat. "

 As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, the eyes of Liu Bang, Xiao He and others lit up.

 Compared with Zhang Liang's first path, this second path is simply in line with their wishes.

 "The second way is good!" Liu Bang couldn't help but admire.

 "Now I don't know if Li Shang has conquered Hanzhong."

 It turned out that when Liu Bang led the army to attack Xianyang, he still had a force of about [-] troops.

 Commanded by his general Li Shang, he marched westward to Xunguan, preparing to capture Hanzhong.

 "Whether Li Shang has conquered Hanzhong or not, I have decided to lead the army to Hanzhong. If Li Shang's attack does not go well, then we will join forces and conquer Hanzhong. It will not be a problem."

 Liu Bang also showed his decisive side at this time and made such a decision.

 Immediately, Liu Bangjun left Lantian and went westward to Hanzhong.

Chapter 24 The Limitation of Vision

 24 Limitations of vision

 [New book please recommend for collection! 】

 On the way Liu Bang rushed to Hanzhong with the remnants of his troops, he finally received good news.

 "Really? Li Shang conquered Hanzhong?

 Haha, that's great, I knew Li Shang would not let me down! "

 Liu Bang received a report from the spies, saying that Li Shang led [-] soldiers, had conquered Xunguan a few days ago, occupied Guanzhong, and was preparing to march south to Bashu.

 However, now that Li Shang had received the news of Liu Bang's defeat in Xianyang, he stopped his plan to go south to Bashu and waited for them in Hanzhong.

 "Congratulations Peigong!"

 Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others also congratulated Liu Bang. This good news came at a very timely time. They needed such news of victory at this time to boost their morale.

 "Order the whole army to target Hanzhong and speed up the march."

 Liu Bang gave the order excitedly.

 On the way, Zhang Liang summoned Zhou Bo's soldiers they gathered several times to find out the specific situation of Zhou Bo's battle outside Xianyang City.

 So far, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others still don't understand why the [-] elite led by Zhou Bo were defeated outside Xianyang City.

 Therefore, Zhang Liang and Liu Bang can only pin their hopes on the soldiers who escaped here, hoping to find the answer from them.

 But it's a pity that Zhou Bo's [-] elite troops were able to escape in the end, and only less than a hundred people found Liu Bang and the others.

 In fact, after Zhou Bo was defeated, he was first pursued by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, and then blocked by Wang Yong. Most of the soldiers either died in battle or were captured.

 Even the thousands of soldiers who escaped by chance did not go south. In the end, Liu Bang and the others were lucky to find dozens of soldiers who escaped back.

 "So, Zhou Bo's defeat outside Xianyang City was all due to the appearance of two cavalry from the Qin Army?"

 After Zhang Liang finished questioning these fleeing soldiers, he also had a general understanding of the situation of that battle.

 "How is it possible? How could a mere 3000 or [-] cavalry defeat Zhou Bo's [-] elite? I don't believe it."

 Fan Kui shouted with disbelief on his face.

 "It's okay, if the Qin army has [-] to [-] cavalry, it may be able to turn the tide of the battle.

 But if you say that Zhou Bo's phalanx of 3000 infantry can be overwhelmed with only [-] to [-] people, I don't believe it. "

 Guan Ying next to him also agreed with Fan Kuai's words.

 "Hey, are you reading it wrong? How could the Qin army have only two or three thousand cavalry?"

 Fan Kuai shouted at the fleeing soldiers.

 "General Fan, we are definitely not mistaken, the number of cavalry in the Qin Army is really not many.

 However, the cavalry of the Qin Army we encountered this time was too powerful, and they were definitely the elite of the cavalry of the Qin Army.

 They are no longer riding and shooting, but directly charging into our formation on horseback. They are like a group of killing gods, and no one can stop their charge.

 Our originally neat infantry phalanx was crushed abruptly by these Qin cavalry.

 These cavalrymen of the Qin Army rode on horses, and their movements were very flexible, and they could even stand upright. I had never seen such a flexible cavalry before.

 What is even more frightening is the slender, slightly curved, weirdly shaped long sword they use. This long sword is so sharp that it can cut a person in half.
