Chapter 1190 Chu Xiang’s Crisis (Part )

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Chu Xiang's eyelids twitched, feeling that there was something in his words.

Thinking of the situation told by Lin Wan in the letter and the coincidence of the other party's arrival, Chu Xiang suddenly became wary.

"There is no need to bother General Zhou with this matter. You are also tired of traveling and traveling all the way. You must be exhausted by now."

"If we let the brothers clean up the mess we made, everyone will definitely be complaining. I, Chu Xiang, don't want to do something like having someone stab me in the back."

"So, it's up to us to sort out the remnants of the battlefield ourselves."

In fact, Chu Xiang still had one point that he didn't say clearly.

That is, the corpses on the battlefield are the food reserves of her living dead army. If Zhou Yi and the others take them away like this, what will the brothers eat in the future?

It's just that it's really hard for her to say this in front of the other person.

Seeing that Chu Xiang was unwilling to clean up the battlefield, Zhou Yi had no intention of continuing to pester him, but the resentment towards Chu Xiang in his heart only deepened.

After all, you have captured this Shaanxi Guoguan, and the greatest credit has been taken away by you.

Now I want to help clean up the battlefield and make some meritorious deeds, but I don't even agree to this small request. Does the other party not take me seriously?

Zhou Yi, who was rejected by Chu Xiang, did not continue to pester. After a few polite words, he left with his people and began to set up camp outside Guan City, Shaanxi.

Seeing the other party setting up camp not far from him, Chu Xiang felt a flash of displeasure in his heart.

The two armies are too close together. If something happens on our side, wouldn't the other side see it clearly?

Immediately, she ordered the living dead to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, move all camps into Shaanxi Guoguan City, and let the soldiers set up camp in the city and make fires and cook meals.

Seeing Chu Xiang's soldiers carefully gathering all the broken limbs and arms, Zhou Yi and his soldiers showed gratitude on their faces.

In their opinion, Chu Xiang's soldiers must have great respect for these dead people, so they tried their best to collect their bodies.

If they die in battle in the future and can be treated like this by Pao Ze, they will definitely die without regrets.

However, when they saw that Chu Xiang was no match for their friendly army and moved the camp to Shaanxi Guoguan alone, their hearts were filled with jealousy and resentment of being looked down upon.

You know, they are here to help and support Chu Xiang. If the other party is not grateful to you and doesn't leave any merit for yourself, forget it.

After all, this was captured by someone else's skill. It is really unreasonable for me to want to rob it.

But the other party didn't care about eating alone. They only cared about entering the city and left their friendly forces outside the city. Is this the way to treat friendly forces?

Immediately, Zhou Yi went directly to Chu Xiang's camp, hoping to argue with the other party.

However, as soon as he entered the camp, before he could tell his purpose, Chu Xiang spoke first:

"Oh, General Zhou, you came just in time. I wanted to find you just now, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."

Hearing that Chu Xiang was looking for him, Zhou Yi's heart moved. Could it be that he had mistakenly blamed the other party? Is the other party preparing to lead his army into the city?

"General Chu, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Yi replied happily, waiting for Chu Xiang to ask him to enter the city.

After all, there is a difference between asking for an opportunity and the other party taking the initiative to let you enter the city.

If Chu Xiang takes the initiative to ask him to enter the city, it means that the other party is begging him and hoping that he can enter the city, which is much more honorable than his shameless request to enter the city.

It's a pity that Zhou Yi's wishful thinking is destined to fail.

After Chu Xiang heard Zhou Yi's words, he was not polite, but said very simply:

"I heard that General Zhou came here this time to support His Majesty. I wonder if His Majesty sent you here to bring us military supplies and supplies?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. Chu Xiang wanted to find him, not to let him enter the city, but to ask for supplies!

Feeling that he had guessed wrong, Zhou Yi's face turned blue and white. He glanced at Chu Xiang, who had an expectant look on his face and was waiting for the next step. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and nodded directly:

"When I came here this time, I did receive an order from His Majesty and sent a batch of military supplies. I originally wanted to wait until Master Chu has sorted everything out before I send someone to deliver the things."

"But now that General Chu is so anxious, the general will no longer wait. He will just send the supplies. I wonder what General Chu wants?"

In Zhou Yi's opinion, this batch of supplies was given sooner or later, and they all had to be given. It was better to give them directly now and sell Chu Xiang, so that he could open his mouth and ask others to let him enter the city.

But although this idea is good, Chu Xiang doesn't cooperate.

When she heard that Zhou Yi was willing to deliver the supplies, she immediately nodded happily:

"In that case, General Lao Zhou is here to help."

"There is no need for General Zhou to send someone here. I will send someone out of the city to drag our supplies back."

Seeing that Chu Xiang was only focusing on supplies and did not mention anything about him and others stationed in the city, Zhou Yi immediately became anxious:

"Well, General Chu, I have an unkind request here. I wonder if you can demarcate an area in the city for the brothers so that we can also garrison in the city?"

Hearing Zhou Yi's request, Chu Xiang was stunned for a moment.

It's not that she hasn't thought about letting the other party enter the city.

But now the situation in his camp is not allowed to be discovered by outsiders at all.

If the other party enters the city, there will inevitably be some movement between the two parties.

If the matter on his side is exposed, Chu Xiang believes that the other party will definitely tell the world about this matter.

When the time comes, I will be disallowed by everyone in the world.

It was impossible for Chu Xiang to take such a risk, and he was not willing to take it.

Thinking of this, she pretended to ponder for a moment, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"General Zhou, you also know that we have just captured Shaanxi Guoguan. The situation in the city is unknown. Moreover, Li Shimin and the others have just been defeated and are still lingering in the distance."

"I'm worried that the other party will come back, and there is a high possibility that they will leave a backhand in the city."

"The reason why we entered the city was because we wanted to use ourselves as bait to lure Li Shimin into action."

"If you join at this time, then maybe Li Shimin will not dare to use any means and will definitely withdraw directly."

"In order to catch Li Shimin, and to make him show his fox tail, we chose to risk our lives."

"But I don't want you, General Zhou, to put yourself in danger. I hope you can put the overall situation first, raid the formation for us outside the city, and become our solid and powerful backing and arm."
