The general is wise and mighty

While marching, An Sheng sighed with emotion, Liu Bang is really a good escaper, he was able to escape so far in such a short period of time, and he could only reach Yulou after crossing the Pi River and Shi River.

Just like this, Liu Bang took a disfigured military adviser Xiao He, and the Han army who was half-starved and frightened by the Chu army fled to Yulou, and finally had a full meal.

When the news reached Xianyang, Xiong Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered to send an order to the Chu army, saying that if Xiang Ji An Sheng could completely wipe out the Han army, he would give them the title of official, king and land.

After Xiang Ji finished reading it, he snorted and threw it away. An Sheng quickly caught it: "Throwing what?"

Xiang Ji crossed his legs and looked like he was fooling around, with a straw in his mouth: "The general is not rare."

An Sheng sat beside him, and put aside Xiong Xin's imperial decree: "If he doesn't seal you, can you go to Shouchun?"

"General, fight it yourself!" Xiang Ji didn't care about Xiong Xin's shabby troops at all.

"Then you will become a traitor. After a while, someone will use the same banner to attack you like we attacked Liu Bang." An Sheng took the straw from Xiang Ji's mouth and threw it on the ground.

Xiang Ji curled his lips, the boss was not happy, he felt like he was being ordered around by a little emperor who didn't have any ability at all to gain a position based on blood relationship.

Of course An Sheng knows that this is a typical rich second generation and wage earners, and the wage earners have made their way into the world with their own abilities, but in the end he knows very clearly that he is not helping himself, but his own rich second generation boss.What's more, he also knows very clearly that if he rises up, the people under him will definitely follow him instead of the rich second-generation boss.

But—he just couldn't.

"Go back to Xianyang directly after the fight, and tell Xiong Xin that we are going to Shouchun. He can only agree, right?" An Sheng tried to reason with him.

Xiang Ji's gloomy mood just now became brighter because An Sheng said the word "we".

"Okay, I'll be with you." An Sheng got used to being pounced on, and didn't react too much, and even smiled.

After crossing the Shihe River, he was basically at the foot of Yulou City. An Sheng looked at the city wall not far away with a serious expression.

Zhang Liang also rode beside An Sheng, seeing An Sheng's expression, he was a bit confused about what he was thinking.

"When I passed by Yulou earlier, I made an appointment with the city residents to attack the city immediately with the sound of a whistle. Brother An, what else is there to worry about?"

"Hmm..." An Sheng was a little confused. After all, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing, and there is no tacit understanding at all. "For the first time, I'm a little worried."

Zhang Liang nodded: "Brother An will know once he tries it."

"Do you know it can be done?" An Sheng really didn't know that Zhang Liang was so "resourceful" and even so "wrong".

Zhang Liang shook his head very honestly: "Liang is not sure, he just trusts Brother An and General's prestige among the people. Brother An should also have confidence."

Xiang Ji led the soldiers to set up camp first, An Sheng decided not to blow the whistle, let Xiang Yu lead the soldiers to attack the city first and try.

The Han army was well prepared and did not go out of the city to fight.Moreover, when the soldiers of the Chu Army started the siege battle, they poured hot water from the city wall with ease. Many soldiers of the Chu Army fell from the ladder after being scalded, and were immediately manipulated by the bottom of the ladder car. Soldiers dragged away to avoid being further injured by hot water falling from above.

After An Sheng heard the news, he quickly asked the soldiers of the Chu army to return. Xiang Yu felt that he had received a full stomach, and kicked the ladder truck hard after returning to the camp.

An Sheng frowned, but he also understood that Xiang Ji was a little anxious, but everything went well before, so it is quite normal to be frustrated now, after all, Liu Bang and Xiao He are not vegetarians.

An Sheng first went to check on the conditions of the soldiers who were burned, and most of them were fine.It was past the hottest season, so the coolness of early autumn lowered the temperature of the hot water. Only about a quarter of the wounded soldiers suffered serious burns, with large blisters.

An Sheng comforted them, but they still got very positive feedback.

Some people had a huge red mark on their faces and several large transparent blisters, still smiling brightly and jokingly asking the military adviser to help him find a wife.

An Sheng responded with a full mouth, patted his chest and said that he would wrap it on himself, and then chatted with everyone for a while with a smile on his face. Many people said that if they got scars and could not find their daughter-in-law, they must ask the military adviser to help them find one. .

For all the requests to find a wife, An Sheng won them one by one. In fact, he had no idea at all. Where could he find so many big girls to introduce to them? It seems that he must have the potential to become a matchmaker in the future.

After resting for a day, Xiang Yu insisted that he lead the troops to attack the city again.

An Sheng disagreed: "If they pour hot water again, what will you do?"

"The general is blocking it!" Xiang Yu was angry.

"There are so many people, how do you block them?!" An Sheng frowned, "Don't get angry, think of a solution first."

In fact, it is not only An Sheng and Zhang Liang who are thinking of a way, but also the people in the city.

Only a small part of the cauldrons used by the Han army to boil water were their own, because the Han army had to cook in the army, and it was impossible to contribute all the cauldrons.

So Xiao He had already made preparations before, and asked soldiers to collect cauldrons from every household.The common people obeyed Zhang Liang's request and did not argue with them. They donated a large cauldron, only to find out now that it was for this purpose.

So after the first war, some people took advantage of the night to sneak to the place where the Han soldiers boiled water under the city wall.

There are not many guards here, and no one would have thought that Yu Lou Chengming, who was so docile, would take advantage of this opportunity to touch him—Smashing the Pot.So even if you saw it, you turned over and continued to sleep.

Therefore, someone found a big pot, held his own farm tools in his hand, and poked it down desperately, making a very loud sound.

The guarding Han army immediately woke up vigilantly, looked around, but found no one, and thought that a certain pot was crooked and fell to the ground.So I turned over and continued to sleep.

On the second day, Xiang Yu did not attack the city under An Sheng's obstruction, but chose to let the soldiers rest for another day.

Therefore, the Han army did not boil water, and did not find a big hole in a pot.

At night, the common people knew that there was such a good way to protect the soldiers of the Chu army from being injured, so they secretly organized, and at night they came to the gate of the city again, the same soldier who was guarding, still didn't care.

So, everyone agreed to count quietly—"One...two...three..."

Then exert force together, "Ding——", the sound is very loud.The Han soldiers guarding the cauldron woke up immediately, only seeing black shadows fleeing in all directions.

Suspicious in my heart, I lit a torch and looked it over. I felt that the sky was about to collapse. Basically, there was a big hole in the center of the bottom of each cauldron, and there was no way to use it again.

The soldiers were dumbfounded, and when they were thinking about how to tell Xiao He, misfortunes never come singly, when the patrolling soldiers shouted from the city wall: "Chu army is attacking, everyone is on alert!"

Soon, all the torches on the city wall were lit, and the whole Yulou City was lit up.

Xiao He soon came to the city wall and ordered the soldiers to boil water quickly. The soldier guarding the cauldron knelt down and pleaded guilty with a look of death on his face: "Report to the military commander, all the cauldrons are no longer usable."

When Xiao He heard this, he who was jogging immediately braked: "Why?"

"Just now some unscrupulous people poked it out." Xiao Bing broke out in cold sweat, and didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off.

Xiao He was simply furious: "What use are you?! Go to the city wall and fight first!"

"Yes." Xiao Bing ran away immediately, afraid that Xiao He would change his mind and punish him for his crimes.

What good idea did An Cheng's soldiers come up with? It is unrealistic to let everyone fight with the lid on their heads, so Xiang Yu had to let Xiang Yu lead the soldiers of the Chu army to attack the city again, and he was anxious in front of the camp. Waiting patiently for another scalded soldier to be sent back.

However, this time, he didn't wait.

Xiang Ji didn't find it strange at all, on the contrary, he felt that it should be taken for granted, so he let go even more, and took the lead in rushing towards the city wall. non-staff weapons.

Xiang Ji stepped on the ladder and was the first to rush up the city wall, fighting the Han soldiers in a narrow space on the city wall.

Fan Kui was originally resisting the charge of the soldiers of the Chu army, but when he saw a commotion nearby, he knew that there must be a big man charging up, so he squeezed over and started fighting with Xiang Yu.It took a few rounds to find out that it was Xiang Ji, and I lost confidence all at once, and my movements were a little soft.

Xiang Ji took the opportunity to pin down the man under his gun, and Fan Kui was squatted down by Xiang Ji's strong pressure, unable to move or use his strength.

Not long after, the Chu army rushed to the top of the city wall and started hand-to-hand combat with the Han army.

At this time, the people of Yulou also returned to the city wall and began to use their farm tools as weapons to fight against the Han army, mainly the guards around the city gate.Then while defending, he opened the city gate from the inside.

The soldiers of the Chu army who were still outside the city immediately swarmed into the city, and almost beat the people of Yulou city inside the city gate as if they were Han soldiers. Fortunately, they saw that their clothes were wrong.That's why I took a look and stopped, and ran into the upper city to attack from both sides.

It didn't take long, even before the end of the night, Yulou City was under the jurisdiction of the Chu army again. The Han army guarding the city squatted down when they were captured, those who were killed lay down, and those who escaped ran away. with.

An Sheng went to the city to check, there was no Liu Bang, and of course there was no Xiao He. Even Fan Kui, who had just been dealt with by Xiang Yu, escaped again because of neglect of supervision.

Then, An Sheng looked at the ten or twenty cauldrons with holes beside the city wall in a daze.

"This... what's the situation?"

The townspeople scrambled to talk to An Sheng: "We didn't know what they were going to do with it, so we handed it over."

"Yeah, and then seeing them use it to boil water made us mad!"

"Yes! I can't get enough of it!"

"So come and smash it!"

"Smashed!"

An Sheng's head was full of black lines: "Then you don't have a pot to cook?"

"Military commander, don't worry, we have something to eat!"

"Yes! There is something to eat!"

An Sheng nodded: "Okay, everyone go back first, we have to send the wounded soldiers in."

Originally, when they heard An Sheng's request, the people were going to go back, but after hearing the last sentence, they came back again, scrambling to take the wounded soldiers to their homes to recuperate.

An Sheng couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm, so he had to respond first, in order to make room for the Chu soldiers to come in.

Not long after, all the doctors in the city were dragged out of their homes by the people and asked them to help look at their injuries.

An Sheng joined in the fun for a while, and felt that he couldn't squeeze in at all, because the soldiers were already surrounded by the people, and they took out all the eggs hidden at home.

"how?"

Xiang Ji went out of the city to chase Liu Bang, and when he came back, An Sheng happened to meet him, so he asked him.

Xiang Ji shook his head: "I didn't see anyone, maybe I escaped early."

An Sheng comforted: "It's fine if you don't catch up, there is still a chance anyway."

Xiang Ji got off his horse and patted Wu Zai's buttocks. Wu Zai neighed and ran away to find Taohua to eat grass with him.

Xiang Ji and An Sheng walked side by side in Yulou City, not saying much.

An Sheng felt that the atmosphere was quite good, but he still couldn't help breaking it down: "Do you think..."

Xiang Ji turned his head to look at An Sheng, An Sheng's voice stopped abruptly, and after a long silence, An Sheng asked, "What am I doing?"

"Daughter-in-law can never get enough of it."

An Sheng was a little embarrassed, turned his head away: "I'm always talking about what to do, if I have time, I might as well think about how to beat Liu Bang."

"Okay." Xiang Ji smiled, very handsome and handsome, fascinated the birds in the sky, "Tell me how to beat Liu Bang."

"Where do you think Liu Bang will escape this time?"

"Daughter-in-law want to gamble?" Xiang Ji tempted.

"Just bet, I guess it's Xiyang." An Sheng had just asked Zhang Liang, and studied the map in Zhang Liang's mind.

Xiang Ji did not agree with An Sheng this time: "The general said it will be farther."

"Why, it was so hard to call." An Sheng was surprised, didn't he know Liu Bang better than Xiang Xiaoji?

"With so much loss, why are you staying here? It's better to hide on your own territory as soon as possible." Xiang Ji expressed his opinion.

"That's right..." An Sheng thought about it, "Then the bet just now is void."

Xiang Ji followed An Sheng: "Okay."

"So refreshing?" An Sheng was suspicious.

"To my daughter-in-law, the general will always be like this." Xiang Ji was particularly proud.

"Cut..." An Sheng disdained, "When the battle reaches a critical moment, he loses the chain, refuses to listen to my orders, and plays childish temper..."

Before An Sheng could finish counting, Xiang Yu hurriedly interrupted, hugged An Sheng with one arm, and put it directly on his shoulder: "Daughter-in-law, go to sleep with the general!"

An Sheng turned his head with great effort: "It's almost dawn, what are you going to sleep on?"

"As long as there is time, the general can sleep at any time." Xiang Ji carried An Sheng, "Would you like to try it, daughter-in-law?"

"Try it!" An Sheng's stomach was hurting, "Put me down!"

Xiang Ji refused to listen: "The general will not!"

"Get down!"

"No!"

The two walked away in this way, and the rising sun behind them just took a small head. Life is really infinitely beautiful.
