Ragnarok is born

The reason why he was able to stand out among the many generals of Western Chu and was appointed by Xiang Yu as the Grand Sima of the Western Chu Army was because he was the first person to take refuge in Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew, and he had always been loyal to Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew. .

It can be said that it is precisely because of Cao Jiu's unwavering loyalty that he is the main reason why his status can skyrocket.

It was just a coincidence that Cao Jiu was appointed as the general and led the Western Chu soldiers to pursue Liu Bang, the king of Han.

As Han Xin analyzed, King Yingbu of Jiujiang had a different heart for Xiang Yu, and Long Qi stayed in Qi State to lead the army to continue the campaign instead of Xiang Yu.

After many choices, Cao Jiu happened to be chosen.

However, Cao Jiu still had a bit of self-knowledge. After knowing that the military situation was abnormal, he stopped advancing and sent a messenger to report the battle situation to the overlord Xiang Yu in the rear.

Cao Jiu's timidity and prudence exceeded the expectations of Liu Bang, Han Xin and others, making the battle situation confusing and unpredictable.

Volume 50 Chu-Han Struggle for Hegemony Chapter [-]: Liu Bang's Request

Cao Jiu was too cautious and did not continue to march forward, but instead brought some unnecessary troubles to the Han army.

When the Han army found out that the Western Chu army was stagnant, they were quite surprised. When the military situation meeting was held again, everyone felt that Cao Jiu's performance was surprising, and he was not as mediocre and incompetent as usual.

But Zhang Liang directly named him, analyzing Cao Jiu's character and said, "This person is not very talented, but he is actually a person who follows the rules."

It is precisely because of Cao Jiu's character that after he took refuge in Xiang Liang and his nephew Xiang Yu, he has not been able to make a name for himself. Among the famous generals of Western Chu such as Long Qi and Ying Bo, he did not have much record. .

And he obviously belonged to the backbone of Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew who swore to his death, that's why he had such a status in the Western Chu court.

Judging from Cao Jiu's sudden change of marching plan, instead of advancing, he sent messengers to the rear to report to Xiang Yu's measures.

This person's military ability is mediocre, but in terms of obeying the command of his superiors, he can really do what he says.

And this happens to be what the Han army is most worried about now.

If the army led by Cao Jiu had to wait until Xiang Yu's order was conveyed, they could continue to set up camp.

It may bring some unexpected variables to the Han army.

From the current comparison of the number of the Western Chu Army and the Han Army, they are actually roughly equal, and neither side has much advantage.

However, in terms of morale, because of the just-concluded battle of Pengcheng, there was a world of difference between the two sides.

Because of the great victory, the morale of the Western Chu army was at its strongest, and it had an obvious psychological advantage over the Han army.

On the other hand, most of the soldiers in the Han army were routs who tried their best to gather, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled brought by Xiao He from Guanzhong.

Although after a period of recovery, he barely got rid of the shadow of defeat, but if he fought against the Western Chu Army again, he would definitely be timid and afraid to fight desperately.

Perhaps only the newly formed Langzhong Cavalry, since the members are all Guanzhong Qin soldiers, their hatred for the Western Chu Army may make them not afraid of death.

The entire Han army is up and down, and only such a new army has the power to fight.

Once Cao Jiu adopted a conservative defense and the two sides fell into a stalemate, the battle situation would become even more unfavorable for the Han army.

The generals of the Han army knew very well in their hearts that if they could not open up the victory situation, if Xiang Yu went out and personally led the elite troops to join the battlefield, it would be even more insignificant to defeat Xiang Yu at that time.

Xiang Yu told the world with his experience in hundreds of battles and his achievements again and again that he is a master of military art who has won hundreds of battles in the world today.

Especially when the two sides confront each other head-on and start a field battle of confrontation.

But right now, it is precisely a battle unfolding in the wild.

Han Xin showed unwillingness, and after pondering for a moment, he turned his head and asked Zhang Liang, "I've heard of the magic of riding a dragon and reciting the Dharma."

"I wonder if it is possible for Brother Zhang to capture the messenger sent by Cao Jiu to prevent him from communicating with King Xiang?"

Zhang Liang shook his head in denial, and said with a wry smile, "Forgive me, General. Riding a dragon and reciting the method is quite effective when you are on the road."

"But if you want to cast this spell, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the caster must have been to the location."

Liu Bang and Han Xin showed disappointment at the same time.

When Liu Le traveled through the void to Xingyang and found that Zhang Liang was not with him, but came by casting spells alone, Liu Bang was also surprised by Zhang Liang's "supernatural powers".

At that time, Han Xin blurted out "Riding the dragon to read the law", which left a deep impression on Liu Bang, and was firmly remembered by Liu Bang.

Listening to Zhang Liang's explanation now that there is a fatal flaw in "Riding the Dragon to read the law", I feel very disappointed.

Zhang Liang didn't care about it, smiled slightly, and pointed out, "Although I am not capable enough, the king has noble people to help, so it may not be impossible to accomplish General Han's goal."

Han Xin let out a sigh, and looked towards Liu Bang, just in time to see a trace of embarrassment that had just disappeared on Liu Bang's face.

His heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help thinking of Liu Bang, his family, and the situation when Zhang Liang rushed to Xingyang that day.

Judging from the news that Zhang Liang revealed at that time, it seems that Zhang Liang was not the one who brought Liu Bang's family to Xingyang.

It was someone Zhang Liang called "Princess".

Zhang Liang's background is mysterious, his practice is profound, and his skill is faintly approaching the "fairyland", only half a step away from transcendence.

It is indeed a rare master in the world today.

Even Zhang Liang thinks that he is not strong enough to complete the task successfully. Could it be that there are other masters in Xingyang City whose strength surpasses Zhang Liang?

After thinking about it, Han Xin wondered if Zhang Liang said that the "noble person" who can help is the mysterious person he called "Princess"?

And it seems that only Liu Bang's eldest daughter, a little girl named "Liu Le", can be made a "princess" by Zhang Liang.

But these days, Liu Le has been staying with Han Wang Liu Bang's Queen Lu Fei, and Liu Bang's eldest son Liu Ying, and has not shown up.

But Liu Bang doesn't seem to be very willing?

Liu Bang secretly smiled wryly in his heart.

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

Liu Le's divine sense enveloped the entire Xingyang City.

Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and others, everything that happened at the military situation meeting was clearly shown in His divine sense, without any omission.

He saw Liu Bang's embarrassed look, Han Xin's thoughtful look, and Zhang Liang's meaningful expression at the military situation meeting.

He even saw that Han Xin and Zhang Liang were clearly hiding Liu Bang's voice transmission to each other in private.

But Liu Bang didn't realize it.

Compared with Zhang Liang and Han Xin, who were born in secret, Liu Bang relied on the power of the "Chixiao Sword", although he could barely resist the overlord Xiang Yu.

However, there is a very obvious gap between his own real skills and masters like Zhang Liang and Han Xin who came from famous families and practiced since childhood.

Therefore, they didn't know anything about Zhang Liang and Han Xin's small actions.

Liu Le twitched his mouth slightly, turned his head to look at Lu Zhi who was arranging his armor, and said crisply, "The old man has a request for me this time."

"Ying'er's crown prince can finally be settled."

Lu Zhi was taken aback when he heard the words, and stopped arranging the armor on his hand, with an expression of disbelief on his pretty face.

After a long time, she got rid of this sluggish look, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what you said true?"

Liu Le chuckled and asked rhetorically, "Why, mother doesn't believe my judgment?"

Lu Zhi had a complex expression on his face, as if muttering to himself, "Le'er, you are a fairy, how dare I not believe you?"

After getting along with each other these days, Liu Le did not show too many visions, and everyone in the Liu family relaxed their attitude towards him.

Especially Lu Zhi, found that Liu Le and Liu Ying's attitudes were quite different from those of others, and he doted on Liu Ying even more than himself.

Lu Zhi wholeheartedly seeks for Liu Ying, and the position of Prince of Han will naturally regard Liu Le as his signing.

After the grievances in his heart disappeared, Lu Zhi finally regarded Liu Le again as his own daughter, not a fairy, and occasionally made fun of Liu Le.

Just like it is now.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, being aroused by Liu Le's news, she could no longer calm down and tidy up the armor that Liu Bang wore when he set off.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a rush of footsteps coming from the front yard to the back yard.

Only then did he wake up from his contemplation, tidy up his appearance, restrain the smile on his mouth, and wait for Liu Bang's arrival.

Liu Bang's figure came in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.

After he stepped into the backyard, he found Liu Le looking up at the sky, as if unwilling to pay attention to him; Lu Zhi was brushing his hands back and forth on a piece of armor, but he looked absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

On a small wooden canopy bed next to her, Liu Ying was covered with a quilt, and suddenly squirmed her small mouth slightly, probably dreaming of some beautiful things?

Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying who was sleeping, and sighed inwardly.

I don't know, what kind of blessings did this kid cultivate in his previous life, so that Liu Le can take care of him so much?

I really don't know the blessing when I am in the blessing.

At his young age, does he know how much his sister Liu Le loves him?

When he grows up, will he still remember his doting sister Liu Le?

Time is silent, and people's hearts are changeable. If I can defeat Xiang Yu and seize the world, I will become the emperor; then this brat will probably inherit my position and become the next emperor who owns the world.

At that time, how he will treat his mother Lu Zhi and his sister Liu Le is really a curious thing?

Liu Bang was thinking about it, and when his mind was wandering in vain, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze falling on him, and his whole body trembled.

He looked intently, and there was already an impatient look on Liu Le's face.

Lu Zhi's eyes turned, his expression was out of place, and he had already stopped what he was doing.

Liu Bang coughed lightly, and said to Lu Zhi, "After a while, I will announce to everyone in the world that Li Ying'er is the crown prince."

Lu Zhi let out a cry of surprise, revealing an uncontrollable ecstasy.

Liu Le sneered, unceremoniously revealed Liu Bang's purpose, and said sarcastically, "Do you need me to help you first?"

Liu Bang was stunned.

He didn't know that Liu Le's divine sense had been covering the entire Xingyang City, and he knew all the big and small things in Xingyang City clearly.

Surprised, although there was a bit of embarrassment in my heart, but more of a long sigh of relief.

It was really the best thing for Liu Le to reveal his purpose in person.

Liu Bang immediately described the judgments of Han Xin and Zhang Liang at the military situation meeting to Liu Le in detail.

Then he made a request to him, "Based on the general's wishes, is it possible to successfully intercept Cao Jiu's messenger?"

"Let Cao Jiu not be able to get Xiang Yu's reply, and then attack the Western Chu army when Cao Jiu was flustered..."

With a wave of Liu Le's small hand, he interrupted Liu Bang directly, "It's really boring!"

"How about I help you block Xiang Yu directly?"

Block Xiang Yu?

Liu Bang let out an unbelievable low shout.

When did this girl Liu Le become so reasonable?

Liu Ying was awakened by Liu Bang's exclamation, her expression was confused, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at Liu Bang, and showed a delighted smile.

He glanced at Liu Le quietly first, and found that he didn't intend to stop him, so he greeted Liu Bang, "Ah Weng?"

Volume 51 Chu-Han Struggle for Hegemony Chapter [-]: The Wounded Jibu

Liu Bang only felt his head roaring and becoming a mess.

Hearing Liu Ying's greeting, he showed a very kind smile, but all his attention was on Liu Le.

Liu Le's words made Liu Bang feel a little unbelievable, and blurted out without thinking, "Can you really stop Xiang Yu?"

Although Zhang Liang and Liu Bang repeatedly emphasized that Liu Le's strength is unfathomable, even Xiang Yu can't match it.

Liu Bang didn't know what standard Zhang Liang used to judge Liu Le and Xiang Yu, and how big was the strength gap between the two?

He remembered Xiang Yu's fear of Zhang Liang, and would rather give up chasing and killing himself than avoid Zhang Liang's sharpness first.

Moreover, from Zhang Liang's body, Liu Bang also faintly noticed that Zhang Liang's orthodoxy was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

And it was Zhang Liang, who even Xiang Yu needed to be afraid of, when facing Liu Le, he always showed a timid look.

The glimpse of Shui Jing, the giant of the Mo family, made Liu Bang realize Zhang Liang and the power behind Zhang Liang.

Therefore, Liu Bang has always been very convinced of Zhang Liang's judgment.

Even with the appearance of a girl, the image of Liu Le, the daughter born to him and Lu Zhi, in his mind has become somewhat unpredictable.

At this moment, when Liu Bang heard Liu Le say that he was willing to help him repel Xiang Yu, his emotions suddenly rose.

Although this is quite different from what Han Xin and Zhang Liang proposed to ask Liu Le to intercept the messenger sent by Cao Jiu.
