The general is wise and mighty

Xiang Ji's work is done, and it's time for An Sheng to make an appearance.

An Sheng cleared his throat, passed through the crowd, and walked up to the stage: "Everyone knows—we're running out of food—"

Although the soldiers below did not reply, they all silently agreed in their hearts. They all knew that Song Yi held a big banquet in Wuyan County, causing them to eat sweet potatoes and wild beans for so long, and there was no meaty taste in their mouths.

"Before boarding the boat and crossing the river, I counted the amount of food and grass—only three days of rations left for each person."

As soon as An Sheng said this, there were voices of discussion below.An Sheng stopped, waited for the sound to disappear, and returned to silence.

"So, within three days, we will repel the Qin army and seize food and grass!"

An Sheng's voice was sent far away by the north wind, and all the soldiers of the Chu army heard this sentence.They can only advance, only win, and must not retreat.

After the swearing-in meeting, the army set off quickly and marched towards Julu, traveling day and night, arriving outside Julu City in the early morning of the next day, and quietly surrounded Wang Li's army.

The Qin army camp was still immersed in the silence of the night, with only a few patrolling soldiers, but when it was winter, the sky was dim in the early morning, and it was difficult to see the approaching Chu army clearly.

Fan Zeng asked Han Xin and Zhongli to go to the north, General Yingbupu to the east, and Huan Chu to lead troops to the west to block Wangli's camp so that the army could not withdraw from the encirclement.

On the south side, on the way Xiang Ji led his troops, he discovered the tunnel used by Qin soldiers to transport grain.Earth walls were erected on both sides, plus weeds as high as half a person were covering them. If Xiang Zhuang's team leader Xiaojie hadn't discovered the earth walls, and then shouted to attract Long Qi, no one would have known that there was such a road. corridor.

The scouts sent out came back to report, and there were people stationed every few miles.However, people sleep most soundly on the eve of dawn, and they don't even realize that danger is around.

Before the soldiers and horses left, An Sheng told them not to act rashly, but to wait for Xiang Xiaoji to almost break through the Qin army's tunnel, and then swarm up and gobble it up.

At dawn, Xiang Ji launched the first attack on the tunnel. The Qin army in the tunnel rushed to fight, but due to the advantage of the terrain, they were not breached, but several sections of the earth wall were broken, exposing the situation inside the tunnel.

After resting for a while, the sky was basically clear, and there was another wave of attacks. This time, the Qin soldiers were prepared and added a lot of troops.In the words of Xiang Ji——

"It's much better to play!"

When the war ceased, the earth walls on both sides of the corridor collapsed a lot, and Qin Bing could even be seen hiding in the corridor.

An Sheng saw many of his own people lying down in the grass, and felt uncomfortable. He dragged Xiang Ji over to rest, and whispered to him: "I'll take a walk."

Xiang Ji was vigilant, and grabbed An Sheng's arm with great strength, which hurt An Sheng's arm.He didn't speak, but his eyes were dark, and the four shadows of An Sheng were clearly reflected.

An Sheng sighed, probably because he left without saying goodbye to go undercover in Yongqiu to let Xiang Yu out of his mind.

"I'll ask the freshmen, first, second, and juniors to inform Han Xinying, Bu Huanchu, and them to start fighting together. It will take too long, and food is a big problem."

Xiang Ji nodded slowly, and let go of his hands little by little. The voice was not loud, but just enough to reach An Sheng's ears: "Come back early."

An Sheng turned around to look for the first, second, and third graders, walking inexplicably fast, passing through the soldiers and wounded lying down to rest, jumping over the rotten logs blocking the way, and panting, he found the people and sent them out to report the news, and then used his last Quickly return to Xiang Ji's side.

Walking behind Xiang Ji, he helped him take off the helmet carefully, and rubbed his temples regularly with his hands.

"came back."

An Sheng didn't talk to him, he continued to move his hands, and said after a while: "Let's go."

As soon as Xiang Ji stretched out his hand, An Sheng looked at Xiang Yu's broad palm and put the helmet on.Xiang Ji felt something was wrong with his hands. He opened his eyes, put on the helmet helplessly, and continued to reach out.

An Sheng took a look, then picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd and stuffed it in.

Xiang Ji put Fang Tian's painting halberd in his other hand, and continued to reach out towards An Sheng.

"There's nothing left." An Sheng looked at his feet and around him.

Xiang Ji sighed softly, leaned forward and took An Sheng's hand in his.The two of them stood still for two seconds, and then Xiang Yu gave a sudden force. An Sheng was caught off guard and fell into Xiang Yu's arms. With a "bang", his forehead hit the armor on Xiang Yu's chest, and he felt a little dizzy.

Holding An Sheng in his arms, Xiang Ji felt extremely peaceful in his heart, not the soft and boneless touch when he was holding Yu Ji before, but a down-to-earth feeling that he was firmly grasping something.

An Sheng tried his best to stuff his right hand into his head and Xiang Yu's chest, and he covered his forehead, feeling swollen.

Xiang Ji still didn't move, and after a minute passed, he slowly let go, didn't stop again, turned his head and walked away seemingly without nostalgia, in fact, he was parting for the next time to hug for a longer time.

The soldiers of the Chu army who had already stood up next to them were very moved when they saw the good relationship between the general and the military adviser, thinking that they must win the victory for them.

But An Sheng didn't know all this, all he knew was——

"Where's the anti-swelling ointment?! Get it quickly!"

The freshmen, the sophomores, and the juniors returned one after another at the end of this attack. Xiang Ji didn't have much time to rest when he returned, because Qin Bing was already retreating in the direction of the camp in a panic. It seemed that Han Xin and others Attacks have been launched.

Xiang Ji just stepped back to drink his saliva, and stepped onto the battlefield holding Fang Tian's painted halberd. After a fierce battle, the tunnel used by the Qin soldiers to transport grain was finally broken by the Chu army.

Xiang Ji rushed to the front during the war, but at this time he collapsed, and the other soldiers, led by An Sheng, were busy with finishing work, orderly.

Not long after, news of success came from the other three directions, saying that the camp of the Qin army had been broken, Su Jiao, the former Mengtian's former subordinate, was killed, Wang Li was captured, and another Qin general, Shejian, refused to surrender, and then died .

It's a pity that An Sheng is talking nonsense, such a man is truly bloody.But Wang Li who surrendered could not be killed, otherwise the Qin soldiers who received his command would be in danger.

Xiang Ji was still lying on the ground with his eyes closed, Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and he seemed to be asleep.

"Get up." An Sheng pinched Xiang Ji's nose.

Xiang Ji opened his eyes directly, without any sleepiness.

An Sheng was a little embarrassed: "You're not asleep..." He tried to move his hand away embarrassingly, but was caught by Xiang Yu.

"I've caught you." Xiang Yu said without thinking, "Don't leave."

An Sheng shook his head: "It depends on your performance."

Xiang Ji was expressionless, and An Sheng could see that he was still unhappy about the words he just said, so he patted Xiang Ji's face with his other hand: "Get up, it's time to hurry."

Then he got up, took Xiang Yu's hand and tried hard to pull him up.But there was still a huge weight gap, and An Sheng was almost pulled onto him by Xiang Yu.

With no worries about the war, and with sufficient food and grass in Wangli's barracks, Xiang Ji rode his horse and walked slowly, with An Sheng next to him, instead of Yu Ji's carriage that had been following closely around him before.

"What are you looking at? The general is here!" Seeing that An Sheng was looking around, Xiang Ji kept turning his head back, and opened his mouth in dissatisfaction.

"Look - Yu Ji is lost?" An Sheng was a little uncomfortable not seeing the carriage.

"The grass is too tall, I can't get over it." After Xiang Ji explained, he moved closer to An Sheng, "You have nothing to do and care about yourself. If you want to see others, you can look at the general. Others are not allowed!"

"Tsk, too domineering." An Sheng despised him.

"That's how it is!" Xiang Yu really went back to life when he got along with An Sheng.

Ahead is Julu City. Chen Yu personally greeted him outside the city gate. He waited for the entire army to pass by but still did not see his savior. It was not until the sun gradually turned to the west that Chen Yu saw two figures from a distance, and asked a Chu Army soldiers got a positive answer.

As Xiang Ji An Sheng approached, Chen Yu was worried about the food and grass situation of the elders in the city, so he walked a few steps to Wu Zai: "Chen Yu waited for the elders of Julu to thank the general for his help."

Xiang Ji immediately returned to his adult state, and replied in a low voice, "No thanks."

Chen Yu was in urgent need of food and grass, so he didn't think too much about it at this time, and he just clasped his fists together: "The city has been short of food for many days, and the old, young, women and children are starving. Please ask the general to help you again. Chen Yu will be very grateful." Then he bent over ninety Spend.

Just as Xiang Ji was about to speak, An Sheng kicked his leg and immediately shut up.

An Sheng got off his horse, walked up to Chen Yu, and stretched out his hand to help him up: "General Chen, please get up."

Although Chen Yu was helped up, he bent down again after hearing An Sheng's words that he didn't give any food and grass: "If the general doesn't agree, Chen Yu will always be like this."

Xiang Ji dismissed it: "If you are sincere, you should kneel down. What's the point of bending and bowing?"

An Sheng turned his head to look at Xiang Ji, with a look of praise - he made up the knife well.

When Chen Yu heard these words, he gritted his teeth, and in order to take care of his elders, he would kneel on the ground as soon as his knees softened.An Sheng quickly supported Chen Yu, preventing him from actually kneeling on the ground.

"The general just said something casually, don't take it seriously."

Chen Yu heard something interesting in An Sheng's words, so he maintained a half-kneeling position, putting his whole body weight on An Sheng's arms.

An Sheng grinned slightly—it was too heavy!

"General Chen please get up quickly and go to the city to gather the people, and the food will be distributed when everyone has arrived."

"Really?" Chen Yu looked up at An Sheng, his eyes lit up.

"Of course." An Sheng couldn't hold on any longer, and when he let go of his hand, Chen Yu knelt on the ground with a "bang", and his knee hurt from the small stone.

Chen Yu smiled, stood up quickly, and patted the dirt on his knees: "Chen Yu is going to gather the people now, and ask the general and military division to enter the camp quickly."

The sun was setting, and the sky would soon turn dark. Originally, the open space in the city should have been chilled by the cold wind, but at this time it was bustling with people.

The common people were divided into several columns by the soldiers of the Chu army, lined up to receive the food, and distributed it according to the head.

An Sheng looked very emotional, not because of the situation of soldiers and civilians, but—"Chicken, when will you kill Zhang Han? According to the speed, the food and grass will soon be insufficient."

"Tomorrow." Xiang Ji didn't think about it.

"Forget it, fix it for a few days, there is still some food." An Sheng glanced at the city gate, dumbfounded, "Who is that? What are they doing?"

Xiang Ji looked over and saw that there were several people who looked like they were still dressed as generals, and there were many small soldiers around them, who also knelt and moved in with their own generals.

"Princes from all walks of life?" An Sheng suddenly realized after being surprised, "I'm ashamed that I didn't send troops, I'm sorry to see you."

Xiang Ji thought it was funny, and couldn't help laughing softly as he watched the generals who were only half his height move past him with their heads lowered.

An Sheng also laughed.

Yu Ji's voice came from behind: "General, what are you laughing at, so happy?" Then she stood on Xiang Ji's right, right between Xiang Ji and An Sheng.

After a while, Yu Ji also laughed herself, covering her mouth with her sleeve, her little face was flushed red anyway, whether it was blown by the wind or happy.She took Xiang Ji's arm with a charming smile: "It's really interesting, why didn't the general ask me to come and laugh, and asked me to find it myself."

Xiang Ji pointed with his chin not far away: "The food is being distributed, the general can't go away."

Concubine Yu nodded understandingly: "Today is a big victory, the general can go to the concubine's tent to rest for a while, and the concubine will relieve your boredom and drive away your fatigue."

Xiang Ji glanced at An Sheng, but An Sheng didn't see it, and was still admiring the heroic appearance of the princes from all walks of life.

Yu Ji said: "I wonder if the military division can let the general go for one night?"

"Huh?" An Sheng came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Go ahead, you should be fine, please ask Huan Chu and Xiang Bo to watch and set up the big camp later."

"Where is it?" Xiang Ji asked.

"Teacher and I have made a deal, let's go to your gentle hometown." An Sheng raised his hand to chase away Xiang Ji, and Yu Ji half-pushed and half-pushed Xiang Ji away.

On the second day, the camp of the Chu army on the north bank of the Zhangshui River was completed. Zhang Han was originally stationed in Jiyuan, but according to reliable reports from the frontline spies, the Qin army retreated repeatedly after hearing that the Chu army had captured Julu, and reached the south bank of the Zhangshui River. It is said that it also aroused the dissatisfaction of Qin II.

The two armies faced each other across the water, and their swords were tense, but they stopped moving.

Fan Zeng took a look at the situation and felt that there should be no fight in a short time, but everyone should be vigilant at all times, but don't be too nervous, and then sent An Sheng to condolences to the captured Qin general Wang Li, and mentioned that Wang Li's grandfather was Wang Jian.

With respect for Wang Jian, An Sheng stepped into the small tent where Wang Li was locked up. The inside was not considered dirty, at least a cloth was spread on the floor.

"How has General Wang Li been these past two days?"

Wang Li smiled wryly: "No, the army was defeated by you, and I was also captured by you."

An Sheng decided to change his approach and went straight to the point: "The general is willing to attack Xianyang with us and save the whole family?"

Wang Li raised his eyebrows: "The moment I was defeated, the lives of my wife, children, and children were already lost. What's the use of asking me these things at this time?"

"Yes, as a general, you should keep one side safe. Now that the Qin Dynasty is under tyrannical government and the people are in dire straits, is General Wang willing to give up his family and save the people of Xianyang for everyone?"

Wang Li shook his head again and again: "Shouldn't everyone be aware of it with emotion and reason, and go back and forth several times before saying that I want to surrender? Why don't you follow common sense?"

An Sheng smiled: "General Wang is a sensible person, he shouldn't need An Sheng to go so many times to understand his mission."

Wang Li: "You are An Sheng?"

An Sheng knew that he was somewhat famous: "Yes, General Wang has heard of An Sheng's name?"

"It's not just that I've heard of it, it's just that my ears are getting callused." Wang Li got up and bowed to An Sheng, "Since that's the case, Wang Li is not too polite. If it's a military adviser who comes to talk, Wang Li is willing to surrender."

An Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, and took out the agarwood plaque with Wang Li's name engraved on it from his pocket last night, and handed it over: "General Wang is so kind, please accept it."

Wang Li took it and looked at it carefully: "This—is Chen Xiang?"

An Sheng scratched his forehead, it seemed that his accidental discovery had reached here: "The general knows?"

"Agarwood is already hard to find in Xianyang, and it is difficult for the emperor... King Qin to get it. I didn't expect Wang Li to receive such a precious thing." Wang Li knelt down on one knee and expressed his loyalty again, "Please also The military commander is relieved, Qin is dying, and Wang Liding will do his best to help the general enter Xianyang."

"Then An Sheng would like to thank you first."
