The general is wise and mighty

Chapter 70 One small defeat

Four days after An Sheng led the remaining soldiers of the Chu army to leave, Xiao He realized something was wrong.In fact, it was also because he had some small conflicts with Liu Bang before, so he just wanted to stay in the room and was unwilling to come out to communicate with Liu Bang.

As for Liu Bang, he has been racking his brains on how to get back the heart of his number one counselor, so other people came to him to discuss matters without seeing him.

Therefore, when the relationship between the two finally eased, Xiao He finally started to deal with affairs again, and suddenly realized after a busy day——why hasn't there been a fight these days?

I watched it for a long time on the city wall, but summer has come, and under the shade of leaves, I can't see it clearly.

Xiao He struggled for a while, but decided to send someone out to see the situation on the Chu army's side.But instead of opening the gate to let the man out, he hung the soldier from the city wall with a rope.

That little soldier was also a bold one. As soon as he left the city, he went straight to the original direction of the Chu army's camp, ready to go and see for himself. He didn't think that if the Chu army was still there, he would definitely die.

Xiaobing turned around all over the place, and even walked a distance further away, but he didn't find Chu Jun's figure, so he went back to the city and had himself hanged up.Then reported to Xiao He: "The Chu army has escaped! We have won!"

But Xiao He was not as ecstatic as he expected, instead he frowned, with a somewhat dumbfounded expression.

The little soldier was surprised: "Military division, they can't beat us, they have already run away, shouldn't we be happy?"

Xiao He flicked his sleeves: "Happy? I just know now——can you tell how many days he's been away?!"

Liu Bang was also by Xiao He's side, and hurriedly asked: "Then shall we pursue the victory?"

Xiao He sent him two health balls: "Cheng Sheng? Did you win, Emperor Han? Chase? Nanzheng gave up by himself? The most important thing for us is to rest in Nanzheng and win the hearts of the people. We have been strengthening the city defense for the past few days. What is it?! It’s a waste!”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves angrily and left. Liu Bang took a step to the left and a step to the right on the same spot, and finally stamped his feet, chose the direction, and kept up with Xiao He.

At the same time, An Sheng was leisurely riding on Taohua. Although Taohua hummed and chirped a few times from time to time, the overall pace was still very brisk, just with a little speed.

An Sheng pulled the rein every once in a while: "Don't run so fast, slow down."

Taohua had no choice but to slow down reluctantly. Before she had gone far, she quickened her pace again, and An Sheng had to pull the rein again.

An Sheng has no intention of chasing the army led by Xiang Yu, but is still planning to bring such a team, hoping that when he arrives, he will be able to catch up with the unexpected needs.

After five or six days of traveling, An Sheng asked the sophomore to bring Xia Houying.

The sophomore cleverly gave Xia Houying a bad horse that couldn't run fast, so that even if he wanted to escape, he would be caught quickly.

The moment the black blindfold was taken off, Xia Houying blocked his eyes with his hand in extreme discomfort.An Sheng was not in a hurry, and walked slowly, waiting for Xia Houying to adapt to the light.

It took a while before he opened his mouth, with some remorse in his tone: "It's really An Sheng's fault for ignoring the discomfort in the general's eyes. Sophomore—come and cover up General Xiahou's eye shadow, and we'll talk at night!"

Xia Houying hurriedly waved his hand to signal not to use it: "No need, I'm fine now." He didn't want to live another day in the dark, life would be worse than death.

An Sheng nodded: "That's good. General Xiahou has seen both the Han army and my Chu army. I don't know what is the difference?"

Xia Houying looked at the soldiers of the evil Chu army on the south side of the gods. Although all of them had colorful faces on their faces, they all reached Anyang with their hands.The soldiers of the Han army have been frowning in recent months, and they can't wait to go back to sleep as soon as they finish fighting.So even though he was a general of the Han army, he still shook his head and said frankly, "Of course it is incomparable."

An Sheng smiled proudly, feeling that his soldiers were becoming more and more heroic and upright, just like his own child being praised by other people's children's mothers.

"Then I don't know what the general wants?" An Sheng said while handing over something.

Xia Houying didn't see what it was, and was surprised after the result: "Agarwood?!"

It was the agarwood plaque that An Sheng asked Xiang Ji to carve, but he found it the day before and engraved Xia Houying's name on it, and now he is holding it in his hand.

Xia Houying quickly said: "Agarwood is hard to find, and it is even worse now. Ying has no virtue and incompetence, how can he accept this great gift?" He said, wanting to return it to An Sheng.

An Sheng was really puzzled, and asked Tao Hua to walk aside a bit: "General Xiahou, you should think about it. An Sheng is thin-skinned, and he will only give things once. Similarly, the general can only return them once. If you really want to do it now." Make a decision?"

Xia Houying was taken aback, and slowly withdrew his outstretched hand: "Then Rong Ying thinks about it for a few days."

An Sheng nodded: "Naturally. Sophomore, I took General Xiahou down to rest. I have been hungry for so many days, so I brought two biscuits along the way—hey, forget it, the dry food is not enough, let's just have one."

The sophomore sat on the horse and clasped his fists together: "Yes." I thought to myself that our military division only eats a pancake for a meal, which is really cheap for you!

Zhang Liang saw the interaction between An Sheng and Xia Houying, and roughly understood what An Sheng meant.So after Xia Houying left, he asked the horse to walk a few steps to An Sheng's side.

"Brother An." Zhang Liang had already learned what to say, "If Xia Houying really joins our Chu army, are you sure?"

An Sheng smiled: "Although I don't know Xia Houying very well, he will definitely not be like Liu - obviously a partner, but eventually become an enemy. So, I can give him time to think, but it won't be long. "

"Then—is Brother An sure?" Zhang Liang asked again.

"I don't have any ideas." An Sheng twisted, sitting on the horse with a little sore waist, "If it succeeds, if it fails, what he sent here is not only a sign, but also his own life."

Zhang Liang nodded silently.

An Sheng turned his head and glanced at him: "Have I changed?"

"Huh?" Zhang Liang raised his eyes, looked at An Sheng, and smiled after a while, "It will be better to do what Brother An is doing now."

An Sheng nodded: "Well - I think so too."

On the way, Xiang Ji received an urgent letter from Xiong Xin. After opening it, he found that it was still about Tian Rong. He said that he had already started to raise troops to Xianyang, and it was estimated that he had traveled nearly one-third of the way. Now It should be in Qufu.

Long Qie was a little surprised. He still had a map in his mind. It was a long way from Jimo to Qufu. It was unreasonable for Tian Rong to arrive here so quickly.

But Xiang Ji had no idea at all. After reading it once, he asked Long Qi about the distance between the two teams, and began to think about what he was going to do with the soldiers.

Although Xiang Ji doesn't have An Sheng, nor Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, but there are still Han Cheng who can stand on his own and Long Qi who can always come up with ideas when he was a child. Together, the three of them decided not to slow down and wait for An Sheng and others to catch up. On, but to speed up the pace of travel.

The letter stated that Xiang Yu should go back and guard Xianyang to prevent Tian Rong from attacking and entering the city.

But Xiang Ji was reluctant to guard, waiting for Tian Rong to call, and for no reason lost a lot of land in the hands of Chu State.So let Xiaobing go back and send a letter to Xiong Xin saying that he is going to the front to defend Xianyang and strive for a greater initiative.

Long Qi looked at Xiang Ji and told the soldier with a serious face that he didn't lose his temper at all, and was very surprised.

After the person left, he asked Xiang Ji, "You—how did you become like this?"

Xiang Ji puffed up his chest: "Your wife is not here, so you have to behave well."

Long Qi smiled: "Shouldn't An Sheng be here to behave well?"

Xiang Ji was a little discouraged, but soon he straightened his chest again: "Then you have to perform well now!"

Long Qi nodded: "Okay. Is it okay to disobey the emperor's order like this?"

Xiang Ji opened his eyes wide: "This counts as disobedience to the emperor's order?! Didn't the general say that he would still defend Xianyang, but it was just a little earlier, how could he disobey it?!"

Huan Chu followed beside him: "He doesn't dare to touch you, no matter what, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Xiang Zhuang was very surprised and muttered: "It turns out that Brother Huan has always thought this way..."

Huan Chu shook his head amusedly, went over and scratched Xiang Zhuang's nose with his hand: "There is nothing to be afraid of at all, and it doesn't affect anything when I think about it."

Long Qi hurried over and snatched back his own house, so as not to let others mess around.

The summer of this year was quite short, and it didn't take long for the days to become cold and windy, and autumn seemed to have arrived.

When winter came, the Chu army led by Xiang Yu and the Qi army led by Tian Rong were fighting in the outskirts of the city.

In fact, Xiang Ji had every reason to kill Tian Rong.Originally, Xiong Xin established Qi Wang as Tianshi, Tiandu and Tian'an. Now Tian Rong sent people to Jimo to kill Tianshi, and then sent troops to the west to kill Tian'an. He killed two of the three kings, more than half of them.Even if Tian Rong'an stayed in Qidi peacefully, Xiang Ji would kill Liu Bang after he got rid of it, not to mention that he himself rebelled first, and the reason was even more sufficient.

Xiang Ji didn't take Tian Rong seriously at all. Back then, he betrayed Xiang Liang several times, and he didn't want to attack Qin Dynasty with him, so he was still somewhat dissatisfied with him.

In terms of military strength and ability to lead troops, Tian Rong is simply not as good as Xiang Ji.Although there is no one in the Chu army's strategic group, there are at least three cobblers, Zhuge Liang, Xiang Jihuan, Chulong, and the three of them, plus Xiangzhuang Yingbu and Han Xin, are worth two.

Therefore, the Chu army easily won the victory without much effort.

Xiang Ji was very excited and sent a small soldier to send a message to An Sheng, telling them to wait for him to go back where he was, and then go to fight Liu Bang together.

But the day after the news spread, something happened.

Although Tian Rong was defeated, he also escaped and fled to Yuanyong.It didn't take long before he met his younger brother Tian Heng, and Tian Heng also led a part of the Qi army, which was regarded as a reserve force, and it turned out to be useful at this time.

Xiang Ji hadn't been happy for a few days when he received the news, so he had to lead his troops west again and continue to fight Tian Rong.

When Xiang Yu arrived at the base of Yuanyong City, the soldiers of the Chu army were already a little tired from the days of running around.

But Xiang Yu felt that he should seize the time to attack, and Huan Chu also persuaded him, but Xiang Yu decided to attack the city immediately, saying that the longer the delay, the more fully prepared the opponent would be.

Huan Chu sighed softly, but still led the troops to fight according to Xiang Ji's order.

But the soldiers of the Chu army did not have that energy, while the Qi soldiers had rested for a long time and were full of energy.

Xiang Ji did not win the first battle.

After setting up the camp, Xiang Ji sat aside silently, without speaking.

All the soldiers of the Chu Army were so tired that they fell to the ground and fell asleep without putting anything down.Xiang Ji was still sitting on the branch, looking into the distance without saying a word.

Xiang Zhuang stood under the tree, looking up, trying to persuade his brother to come down, but worried that what he said would irritate him.

Huan Chu also walked under the tree and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Brother." Xiang Zhuang pointed to the tree.

Huan Chu didn't need to look up to know that Xiang Yu was staying on the tree, but he didn't let Xiang Zhuang go up the tree.

Xiang Zhuang was puzzled: "Why?"

Huan Chu patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Ji is a general, and it is impossible to win all battles. No one is like this in the first place, but this time it is all his own decision. I was the same at the beginning, and I must go through such a situation. It’s the process that makes the difference.”

Xiang Zhuang nodded thoughtfully: "Okay then, I'll go find Long Qie, his leg was chopped off."

"Okay." Huan Chu pushed Xiang Zhuang out, "Hurry up."

After Xiang Zhuang left, Huan Chu didn't raise his head to look up. He just stood under the tree for a while, then turned around and left, shaking his head and saying, "I'd better take a good rest. Otherwise, if I don't have the energy, I still have to go." How do you lead troops to fight..."

Of course Xiang Ji could hear the conversation under the tree. He sat on the tree for a while, sniffled, feeling a little cold, and climbed down to sleep.

An Sheng originally received the news from Xiang Yu, but he didn't intend to stop there. He still walked forward for a certain distance, thinking that even if he didn't participate in the battle, he could join the Chu army and help the injured soldiers Bandages and the like.

So, after continuing to walk west by north for two or three days, I suddenly heard that Tian Rong was not dead, but joined Tian Heng and rebelled again.

Continue to walk in the predetermined direction. In winter, the two haven't seen each other for half a year. An Sheng is busy on the road, and Xiang Yu is busy fighting.

At this time, An Sheng received another message from Huan Chu's people, saying that Xiang Ji had finally experienced a complete failure caused by himself, and was finally able to grow again.

An Sheng smiled knowingly after reading it. He believed that Xiang Ji could not be defeated by such a trivial matter. He just blamed himself, then worked harder, and increased the responsibility on his shoulders, but he was more focused on fighting.

I don't know if the injury on Xiang Xiaoji's arm has healed...

An Sheng always thinks like this when sitting on a horse and walking, always thinks like this when resting, eating and drinking water, and also thinks like this before going to sleep.

It's unbearable.
