Ragnarok is born

Therefore, when the two met in private, they had already discussed it properly. No matter what, they could not become the chief general of the new cavalry unit.

From the main general to the subordinate soldiers, they are all composed of Guanzhong Qin people, and they will definitely receive strange looks from other people in the army.

Liu Bang's eyes turned slightly, he already knew the fear in Li Bi and Luo Jia's hearts, he was cautious about them, and he was unwilling to criticize them.

He sighed secretly, looked at Han Xin and asked, "Then, according to the general, who can lead the cavalry?"

For Li Bi and Luo Jia's refusal, Han Xin felt rather disapproving.

I gave them a chance, but they had too many scruples, so they couldn't seize it, this opportunity to soar into the sky.

However, things have progressed to this point, and Han Xin will not react too much. He looked around and finally landed on Guan Ying. He pointed at Guan Ying and said, "Guan Ying is good at riding and shooting, and has military exploits."

"It is suitable for commanding the Langzhong cavalry."

Seeing the cavalry commander recommended by Han Xin, everyone showed surprise.

Guan Ying was the youngest among all the people present, and besides Li Bi and Luo Jia, he was also the latest to join Liu Bang's command.

This is because most of Liu Bang's team members are his fellow villagers from Pei County, who followed Liu Bang in the uprising.

But Guan Ying was from Suiyang County. He originally made a living selling silk products in Suiyang; when Liu Bang led his army to attack Dang County, Guan Ying left his business and followed Liu Bang as Zhongjuan.

Because of Guan Ying's young age, Liu Bei put him by his side, but then everyone discovered that Guan Ying was extremely brave in battle. He followed Liu Bang all the way to Guanzhong and made many military exploits.

Therefore, Liu Bang's trust is extremely high.

Even Guan Ying himself did not expect that Han Xin would nominate himself after Li Bi and Luo Jia explicitly refused to be the chief general of the newly formed Langzhong Cavalry.

He showed emotion.

Although judging from the meaning revealed by Han Xin, this Langzhong cavalry may serve as an arrow in future battles with the Western Chu Army, and every battle will be extremely tragic.

But Guan Ying is fearless.

In the infantry unit, Cao Can, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and other fellows from Pei County of the King of Han have firmly occupied the most important key positions.

These people are equally loyal to Han Wang Liu Bang, and are not much lower than Guan Ying, so no matter how brave Guan Ying is, they cannot shake their position.

It would be better to find another way.

And the newly formed "Langzhong Cavalry" proposed by Han Xin belongs to Guan Ying, which is the best opportunity.

He jumped up and shouted loudly to Liu Bang and Han Xin, "The last general is willing to go through fire and water for the king, and he will be smashed to pieces, and he will not hesitate."

Compared with Li Bi and Luo Jia, Guan Ying felt that they were superfluous, but at the same time secretly felt lucky about his scruples about being born in Guanzhong Qin.

Compared with Li Bi and Luo Jia, although Guan Ying is also good at riding and shooting, he is not very proficient in how to command cavalry to fight.

However, Li Bi and Luo Jia have already stated that they are willing to follow the new chief of Langzhong's cavalry as lieutenant generals, and assist the new chief to control the troops.

And he wholeheartedly and willingly assisted the general in the next series of battles against the Western Chu Army.

This is the so-called golden opportunity, and Guan Ying is not willing to miss it.

Liu Bang blinked.

In terms of age, Guan Ying is less than 20 years old this year, nearly 30 years younger than him, and belongs to his younger generation.

Looking around, among the faces of most of Liu Bang's peers, Guan Ying has a very obvious age advantage.

The other one is Han Xin.

Liu Bang's gaze unconsciously turned to Zhang Liang, just in time to see Zhang Liang's slight nod, and his heart suddenly moved.

Recalling that some time ago, Zhang Liang persuaded himself to make Liu Ying the crown prince, and An Liule's proposal was sympathetic.

He secretly thought that if Ying'er grew up, his group of old buddies might already be running out.

Only Guan Ying can continue to assist Ying'er, govern the government, and stabilize the world.

So letting Guan Ying leave his side right now, and let him control the Langzhong cavalry by himself is exactly the experience for Guan Ying.

Liu Bang was thinking about it, and motioned to Guan Ying, "Yes!"

Chapter 49: The Cautious Cao Jiu

Li Bi and Luo Jia are able to understand the general situation in such a way that Liu Bang can be freed from worries. They are indeed people with exquisite minds.

Liu Bang's eyes were slightly cold.

On the contrary, Han Xin's mind was a little strange.

I don't know whether he intended it or not. He knew that the main members of the so-called "Langzhong Cavalry" were all from Guanzhong Qin, but he still wanted to appoint two Qin people from Guanzhong as the chief generals?

Suspicion flashed across Liu Bang's mind, he nodded in agreement with Guan Ying's request, and then turned to Li Bi and Luo Jia and said, "The widow appointed you two as the left and right captains of Langzhong's cavalry to assist Guan Ying in checking for omissions."

"The two of you need to do your best to assist Guan Ying and make the Langzhong cavalry unit an invincible force in our Han army."

"In this battle, no matter whether you can achieve results or not, at least you must first set up the airs of the Langzhong cavalry."

"Of course, if you can lead the Langzhong cavalry and achieve gratifying results, the widow will never be stingy with rewarding you."

After Li Bi and Luo Jia heard Liu Bang's promise, their faces showed uncontrollable excitement, and they suddenly agreed.

For them, this is undoubtedly a successful venture.

Although Han Xin is a high-ranking general of the Han Dynasty, he also proposed that the two be the chief generals of the "Langzhong Cavalry".

Appreciation for the abilities of Li Bi and Luo Jia is everywhere.

But Li Bi and Luo Jia are from Qin, and many high-level people around them are all from the six kingdoms that were destroyed by Qin.

This could not help the two of them acting cautiously.

Most of the soldiers of the "Langzhong Cavalry" are the original Guanzhong Qin people, and only a few are selected from the soldiers of the six countries.

Perhaps Han Xin is truly impartial and selfless, adhering to the principle that the capable go up and the weak go down, that's why this situation occurs.

But who knows what Han King Liu Bang and most of the generals will think when they see a cavalry unit composed of Guanzhong Qin people?

Therefore, Li Bi and Luo Jia consciously gave up the position of chief general, and took the second place to seek the position of lieutenant general of the new cavalry unit.

And Liu Bang's reaction just verified the guesses made by the two of them.

After Han Xin knew his mistake, he nominated Guan Ying to be the chief of Langzhong's cavalry, and Liu Bang nodded directly.

This is the most direct thinking mode of the superior.

They always think that everything is closely related to rights, and grasp the invisible and visible things in their own hands.

Han Xin didn't know what Liu Bang was thinking at first, but he was also very intelligent. After Li Bi and Luo Jia rejected the proposal, he knew that something was wrong.

So he turned to suggest Guan Ying, Liu Bang's confidant.

Show that he has nothing, and want to support his own power in the army, so as to calm Liu Bang's suspicion.

Guan Ying was in high spirits.

From this moment, he served as the chief general of the newly-built "Langzhong Cavalry", and he was qualified to be on an equal footing with the veterans under Liu Bang's command in terms of status.

Although it is said that the personnel of this cavalry unit is far inferior to the infantry soldiers commanded by generals such as Cao Cao, Xia Houying, and Zhou Bo.

But as long as you know the elite cavalry under the command of Overlord Xiang Yu, you can see the importance of cavalry.

This is also an important reason why Han Xin wanted to form the middle cavalry of the Han army.

Guan Ying thought of the scene of being able to lead the elite cavalry under his command one day and be able to compete with the overlord Xiang Yu, his heart was full of emotion and his face flushed.

Guan Ying saw the defeat in the battle of Pengcheng with his own eyes, and the terrifying attack power of the Western Chu cavalry is still shocking when he thinks about it now.

Under the leadership of Overlord Xiang Yu, the cavalry of Western Chu were like the sharpest sharp knives on the battlefield, like cutting vegetables, easily tearing through the defense of the coalition forces of the princes.

Afterwards, he turned into a weapon in the hands of the god of death, taking away wave after wave, the lives of the soldiers of the coalition forces of the princes.

They are upright, like a javelin, sitting upright on the back of a vigorous horse. With the sound of horseshoes, they are like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Wherever they go, no one can stop them from breathing.

The 56 coalition forces of the princes were defeated and fled by the [-] Western Chu cavalry who rushed to attack.

Han Xin sighed inwardly as he looked at Guan Ying, who was in high spirits, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked complacent.

Looking at Li Bi and Luo Jia, who were standing on the other side with a stiff face and sometimes nervous expressions, they suddenly felt ironic.

But he hid his thoughts very well, and instead ordered, "Western Chu Grand Sima Cao Jiu led the Western Chu army to come and contact our army, there is still a period of time."

"During this period of time, the three of you must turn the Langzhong cavalry into a cavalry unit proficient in combat."

Guan Ying, Li Bi and Luo Jia nodded yes.

They could see that Han Xin attached great importance to the "Langzhong Cavalry" and had high expectations for this cavalry unit.

Then, I heard Han Xin's solemn tone, and said in a deep voice, "In this battle, the Langzhong cavalry is our army's surprise soldiers."

"You can lead the cavalry to defeat the coalition forces of the vassal princes in the Western Chu Army, which is related to the final outcome of the battle."

"Are you confident?"

Guan Ying's heart trembled, he exchanged a look with Li Bi and Luo Jia, and at the same time promised loudly, "The last three will definitely go all out to defeat the enemy and not let you down. "

**** **** **** ****

Cao Jiu led the Western Chu soldiers under his command and marched westward from Pengcheng to search for the escape of Han King Liu Bang.

Neither he nor the overlord Xiang Yu expected that Liu Bang didn't have to run for his life at all, and was directly led by Liu Le to travel through the void and reach Xingyang in one step.

During the march, from time to time, you can see the defeated soldiers of the allied forces of the princes.

Cao Jiu had no intention of gaining insignificant military exploits from these defeated troops in order to win the overlord's favor.

Although Overlord likes generals with outstanding military exploits, the most important thing right now is to find Liu Bang's whereabouts as soon as possible.

As much as possible, defeat the remaining resistance of the Han army.

After marching for half a month, Cao Jiu defeated several resistance troops organized by the generals of the Han army one after another. Cao Jiu finally realized that something was wrong.

He summoned the generals under his command to discuss the military situation, and after intense discussions, he came to a very obvious conclusion.

It is very likely that Liu Bang, the king of Han, has already fled to a safe place, which is why they have never found the trace of Liu Bang's escape.

Since ten days ago, the small troops of the Han army have been harassing non-stop, and they always retreated without chaos after being defeated. They must have been consciously dispatched by a certain base camp in the rear.

The purpose is to stop the advance of the Western Chu army, so that the defeated Han army can gain precious breathing time.

The heavy blow of the Battle of Pengcheng to the Han army finally began to slowly weaken after time passed.

That's why the Han army couldn't wait to get more rest time after recovering a certain combat effectiveness, so that in the next battle, they could fight against the Western Chu army, and even defeat the Western Chu army in turn.

This conclusion surprised Cao Jiu.

I thought to myself that the Overlord said that although there are many princes in the world, everyone is intimidated by the overbearing power of the Overlord, and they all submit to Western Chu.

Only Liu Bang, the king of Han, hated that the overlord refused to canonize him as the king of Qin in Guanzhong, but moved him to Hanzhong as the king of Han, and he has always held a grudge.

Therefore, he was in trouble with the Overlord everywhere. When the Overlord was conquering the false Qi King Tian Rong, he used tricks to escape from Hanzhong and fled into Guanzhong.

And successively defeated the three kings of Guanzhong who were canonized by the overlord, Yong Wang Zhanghan, Sai Wang Sima Xin, and Di Wang Dong Yi.

The Overlord appointed the three of them as princes and kings. He originally wanted the three of them to restrain Liu Bang, the king of Han, and block him in Hanzhong and never be able to leave the customs.

Who would have thought that the three of Zhang Han would be so pusty that they would be vulnerable to the King of Han Liu Bang, and they did not achieve the effect expected by the Overlord at all.

What a waste of Zhang Han's great name.

Cao Jiu thought of Zhang Han, the uncle of Emperor Wuxin Xiang Liang who served as the young mansion of Emperor Qin II and killed the overlord Xiang Yu in Dingtao.

At the same time, he defeated the allied forces of the princes in Julu, showing off his power, and was finally defeated by the overlord. He was defeated in the first battle and had to surrender to the Chu army.

Who would have thought that now he would not even be able to successfully resist Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty. Instead, Liu Bang escaped from Hanzhong and led the coalition forces of the princes to attack Pengcheng.

Fortunately, the Overlord Xiang Yu's art of war is the best in the world, and he will always be invincible in the world. He only led 56 cavalry back to Pengcheng from Qi State, and defeated the [-] princes' coalition forces in one fell swoop.

Cao Jiu's mind was wandering, he always felt that his pursuit of Liu Bang, King of Han this time, was not going very smoothly.

The counterattack of the Han army was too fast.

Liu Bang's escape speed was somewhat unexpected, so he was able to reach a safe place smoothly in a short period of time.

Only in this way can a small group of troops be organized to harass the Western Chu army.

What should I do next?

Should I make my own decision and continue to lead the army forward, and fall into the constant harassment of the Han army; or should I set up camp first, and then send someone to notify the overlord of the predicament I encountered, and wait for the overlord's order?

Many generals also had their own opinions, which were divided into continuing to march and waiting for orders. Both sides expressed their different opinions.

After all, Cao Jiu is just a well-behaved general, his military talent is not very outstanding, he is just an average person.
