I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Outside Songyang City, Jiangbei.

Xiang Yan led the [-] troops, including the Tenglong Army led by Long Qie.

The Tenglong Legion has a total of 1 people, all of them are cavalry, and there are shadows of heavy armored cavalry, but they are only light leather escorts, but their attack power is very powerful. These people are selected from tens of thousands of people. All of them are tall and big, armed with spears and equipped with bows and crossbows.

"Report..."

"General, the remnants of Baiyue mean that crossing the river is inevitable!"

"Let them escape, I didn't think about taking care of them." Xiang Rong said lightly, and continued to sit at the table and look at the map.

Now that the state of Chu has approached the border of Qin and Chu, it wants to capture the girders in one go, cut off the east-west connection of Qin state, and then unite with Qi state and Yan state to launch a war against it from three sides.

Although Qin State is very powerful, after two years of successive wars, this time it suffered heavy casualties in the Western Expedition. Half of Qin's elites died in the Western Expedition this time.

This gave Chu State great courage.

We can't spend any more time with Qin, and if we continue, Chu will become weaker and Qin will become stronger, and Qin's destruction of Chu will be a sure thing.

This time, the king of Chu agreed with the seven princes. Even if the state of Chu was destroyed, the vitality of the state of Qin would be seriously injured. The state of Chu is fertile and has a large population. Can do it all over again.

But Qin still has to face Qi and Yan, as well as the Huns in the north and the tribes in the southwest.

This time, there were 30 Chen soldiers on the northern front of Chu State, all of them were elite troops, and Jingyang, who had been restored to the position of Grand Sima, personally sat in Chendi, led by the general Xiang Yan, and all the generals of the seven princes went to battle.

Among them, there are more than 20 slave armies of the seven major clans and more than [-] private armies of major tribes.

Both add up to 50.

On the border of Yingdu in the west, 20 elite members of the Qu clan have already gone to Yingdu from western Hunan. In addition to the slave army everywhere, there are also about [-] people. Wu leads the army, under which there are two elite legions of the Qu family.

(Jibu's Shadow Tiger Legion and Yingbu's Thunderstorm Legion each have 5000 soldiers.)

And his task is to use [-] troops plus the [-] Tenglong Legion, as well as the slave army, to block the remnants of Baiyue to the south of the Yangtze River, prevent them from crossing the river, and attack their rear.

He is still very confident in intercepting the remnants of Baiyue. A group of mobs took advantage of the internal turmoil in Chu to make them develop. If Chu had taken action earlier, how could the mob of Baiyue show their power?

"Longqi, you lead the Tenglong Legion, catch up with their remnants, kill a wave, and teach them a lesson."

"Yes, General."

Then he said with a smile: "The last general heard that Li Xin of Qin State captured Queen Yueshi alive on the battlefield. General, how about we also capture a queen alive and present it to the King?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have many harems until now!"

"Hahaha, that's a good idea, but Long Qi, don't make trouble for me. Our main task this time is to guard the Yangtze River and prevent the remnants of Baiyue from crossing the river and making trouble."

"As for capturing the Queen of Baiyue alive, there is plenty of opportunity. Waiting for the battle in the north to start and destroying the Qin army in the first battle, we can go south to capture the Queen of Baiyue alive."

Fan Zeng listened to the young master's words, and couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction. The young master's words were right, and the main task now is to guard the Yangtze River, not to eliminate the remnants of Baiyue.

You know, the south of the Yangtze River is controlled by the remnants of Baiyue, and the Baiyue people are best at running around. Once they run into the mountains, they have nothing to do with them.

"Young master is wise!"

Xiang Rong looked at Fan Zeng and said with a smile: "Sir, you have also learned to flatter. This is not a good habit."

"The subordinates are not flattering! The young master learned to be prudent from the master."

For a while, cheerful laughter came from the camp.

After Long Qie took his army to kill the Baiyue remnants who had abandoned the city and fled, there was news from Shouchun.

It was said to let Xiang Rong fight steadily, but Zhang He disappeared in Xianyang City. After many inquiries, he finally got the news that Zhang He went south to Jiujiang County.

Now it is finally confirmed that the remnants of Baiyue are Zhang He's handwriting.

Hearing that Zhang He was coming to Jiujiang County, Xiang Rong and Fan Zeng turned pale.

This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, the main reason is that Zhang He's reputation is too great.

Rentu's name is not for nothing.

Since Zhang He's debut, that guy has never been defeated, and wherever he goes, he must destroy the country.

Xiang Rong took a deep breath, looked at Fan Zeng beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, can our [-] army hold the Yangtze River?"

Fan Zeng also took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and said, "Young Master, we must immediately kill the remnants of Baiyue in Jiangbei, and eliminate the vitality of Baiyue..."

"Then along the Yangtze River, quickly set up positions and blockade the places along the Yangtze River that can reach the river."

"Okay, arrange it now, and I will arrange it right away."

Then, Fan Zeng lay down on the map and checked it. It had been several days since Zhang He set off from Xianyang.

At this moment, according to Zhang He's marching route, if he wants to go to Jiujiang County, he must start by boat at Wuguan, and then go all the way south, and he will definitely disembark near Yingdu, and then change to other boats, enter the Yangtze River, and go down the river along the river. Finally arrived in Jiujiang County.

But to the east of Yingdu, it was within the control area of ​​Chu State. I heard that Zhang He was most afraid of death, and it was absolutely impossible to march blatantly. The most likely thing was to take a merchant ship and reach Jiujiang County all the way.

"Good opportunity, here comes the opportunity to kill Zhang He."

Fan Zeng went crazy, rushed out of the tent, went to chase his young master, he must intercept and kill Zhang He on the way, Zhang He will definitely not have many people with him, as long as he sends out Longqi's Tenglong Legion, Zhang He will definitely be caught off guard .

Chapter 379 Wu Gou, Sword Master in White

"What? To assassinate Zhang He?"

Xiang Rong's eyes widened, that guy is not easy to deal with, and he is very cunning, who knows if it is the news that he deliberately released to lure us into the bait?

In fact, he admires Zhang He very much in his heart, especially learning Zhang He as an idol in his heart, so he has carefully interpreted everything related to Zhang He, and often discusses Zhang He's strategy with his father Xiang Yan tactics.

The final conclusion is that whenever you encounter Zhang He on the battlefield, it is best not to look for his shortcomings. His shortcomings are his greatest strengths.

"Young master, once Zhang He arrives in Jiujiang County, we may not be able to stop the attack of Baiyue Remnants. You must know that Zhang He's use of troops has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and he does not play cards according to common sense."

"Besides, Zhang He is a big figure in the Qin military. He is called Rentu, a victorious general. He is a figure like the flag of Qin. Once we intercept and kill him, Qin will lose an arm."

"I dare say that Zhang He is better than a million soldiers for King Qin Yingzheng."

"If I wait to capture Zhang He alive, maybe I don't need to fight. King Qin is absolutely willing to exchange dozens of big cities for Zhang He."

Listening to Fan Zeng's narration, Xiang Rong kept shaking his head.

Why didn't he know this? Before he left, his father had warned him that if he met Zhang He on the battlefield, the only way to do it was to stick to it, stick to it to the end, no matter what bait the opponent threw, he could not take the initiative to attack.

If you take the initiative to attack, it means you have already lost.

"Sir, you still don't know much about Zhang He."

"Our intelligence is limited, so we can't rush out. If we want to intercept Zhang He, we must send out Longqi's Tenglong Legion. Then who will guard this side? If Zhang He suddenly appears in front of us, we will fall into the trap."

Fan Zeng stopped talking, the young master was still considerate, perhaps this was Zhang He's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

But just after the two gave up the idea of ​​intercepting Zhang He, Shouchun sent Ling Yin Zhaoran, and Zhaoran also brought a man in white with him, and all the masters were around him.

The two hurried out to greet them.

"The last general, Xiang Rong, met Master Ling Yin."

Zhao Ran from the Zhao clan was Ling Yin when the two brothers Xiong Han and Xiong You were kings of Chu, but he was the vice-deputy. This time he helped the son to take the position, and finally got a real Ling Yin to lead all the officials.

Among Qu Jingzhao's three great clans, the Zhao clan is regarded as the leader in civil affairs, and the Zhao clan is regarded as a majestic one.

"Nephew Xiang Rongxian, don't be too polite, please hurry up."

Clearly smiling, happy.

"Go, go in and talk."

Xiang Rong and Fan Zeng are still in a daze until now, it is clear that as Ling Yin of the Chu State, they are not in the court to help the king deal with political affairs and make suggestions, what are they doing in this remote place?

Is it because of Zhang He?

Xiang Rong followed Ling Yin Zhaoran all the way into the camp.

Then, Zhao Ran asked the man in white and the masters he brought to guard the camp. Except for Xiang Rong and Fan Zeng, no one could know what was going on today.

"The secret order of the court, let you Xiang Rong personally lead the Tenglong Army, assist Wu Gou, and kill Zhang He!"

(Wu hook, originally a weapon made by the state of Wu, looks like a sword and bends. It is a model of the cold weapon era and is full of legend.)

(The state of Chu used "Wu Hook" as the name of its spy intelligence department, hoping that it would be as sharp as the Wu Hook sword, so that it would look down on anyone.)

(Wu Gou in Chu State, like Black Ice Terrace in Qin State, is a sharp sword in the hands of the king, and it is also an intelligence and spy department.)

(However, Wu Gou of the state of Chu has always been unknown, but this time the king of Chu condescended to go to the place where Duke Chu Nan lived, brazenly begging Duke Nan of Chu to come out of the mountains to help the country of Chu, but Duke Nan of Chu He didn’t come out of the mountain, but he sent a master swordsman beside him to help the King of Chu.)

(It is said that this swordsman is very good at swordsmanship. He once fought against the sword sage Wuming, and Wuming was defeated. He also fought against Luo Wang's Jing Salamander. Luo Wang's Jing Salamander was defeated, but this swordsman survived the Jing Salamander's life .)

Xiang Rong's face was ugly. If he could kill him, he would have killed him long ago. The main reason is that Zhang He is unpredictable.

If the court comes like this, if Zhang He falls for Zhang He's tricks, the south may be attacked by the remnants of Baiyue.

"Master Ling Yin, but we don't have extra manpower."

Zhao Ran said coldly: "Compared to Zhang He, the remnants of Baiyue are nothing to worry about. Now the court is facing great danger, and there is no large army to use. To intercept Zhang He, you must have an elite army, and your Dragon Army is the best candidate." .”

Then, Zhao Ran's expression turned ugly, and he sighed and said, "Qin launched a spy war and a public opinion war in the major cities of Chu State at the same time. The tool, with incendiary words written on it, is posted all over the Chu country, and it cannot be banned at all..."

"At this moment, people in all parts of the Chu Kingdom are in panic, and there are rebellions in many places."

"There are even slaves who assassinate officials and soldiers in the court..."

"And this conspiracy is controlled by Zhang He and Dunwei. As long as Zhang He and Dunwei are killed, this conspiracy will not only dissipate, but also severely damage the morale of Qin."

"That old man, Dunwei, has a secretive whereabouts. I don't know where he is hiding, but Zhang He's whereabouts are under our control."

"And killing Zhang He is more effective than killing ten Dunwei."

"Nephew Xiang Rong, this matter is related to the rise and fall of Chu State. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. You must do your best."

Xiang Rong nodded after listening, and then he realized that the court had to kill Zhang He. He didn't expect Qin to start a spy war and a public opinion war.

"But our news is limited, and Zhang He is full of tricks, I'm afraid this is Zhang He's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

"Once we go to intercept Zhang He, and Zhang He appears in Jiujiang County, there will be no one available here, and the Yangtze River may not be defended."

Zhao Ran waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. The spies in Xianyang have already sent accurate information. Zhang He has already set off from Xianyang. After analysis by the court, Zhang He will definitely take a merchant ship to Jiujiang when he arrives in Yingdu. County, because the spy war and the public opinion war have already begun, Zhang He also wants to rush to Jiujiang immediately to prepare for the war."

"Wu Gou's people have already cleaned up the merchant ships of various countries near Yingdu, even the merchant ships of their own country. Now those merchant ships are all controlled by Wu Gou's people."

"On the land, the Qu family's army has already laid a net. Even if Zhang He has wings, he will never come to Jiujiang County from the land."

"So, the interception of Zhang He this time will definitely succeed."

Xiang Rong didn't expect that he would have nothing to worry about if he had already prepared so well in order to assassinate Zhang He.

Moreover, according to Wen Xin's appointment, Commander Wu Gou is a swordsman known as the best swordsman in the world, and there are so many masters to help out, plus his own Tenglong Legion, I don't believe that Zhang He can't be killed?

"Yingdu will let go of the river, allowing Zhang He to ferry to Jiujiang smoothly..."

"The place chosen by the court is Chibi, Ezhou. That place is extremely steep. When the time comes, you will lie in ambush on the river and start hunting Zhang He."

Xiang Rong immediately lay down on the map and searched for a long time. After reading the topographic map of Chibi, he burst out laughing, Zhang He is a thief, this time he will definitely die.

Even if Zhang He escaped from the water, the army of Chu State was everywhere, and the dog thief was not captured alive.

"The last general has an order. This time I go to Chibi, I must take the head of the dog thief."

Chapter 380 Exposed in advance, assassination failed

The two discussed again, and finally returned to Shouchun, leaving behind another general who led an army of [-] Xiang Rong, and began to confront the Bai army by the Yangtze River. The people who went to Chibi to ambush by boat together.

However, this time, Zhang He really did not expect that in order to kill him, the state of Chu had already mobilized the entire army in the land of Jingchu, as well as Wu Gou, the spy department of the DPRK, and also let Xiang Rong's Tenglong Legion ambush him. he.

In a teahouse by the pier in the north of Yingdu.

Zhang He dressed in gorgeous clothes and pretended to be a big businessman in Handi, sitting at the desk drinking tea.

This is also a last resort, he is now a sweet potato, as long as the nobles of the Chu country want to kill him, so they dare not show their true colors.

The Qin-Chu border, both countries have begun to guard against it strictly, and merchants who do business will have to go through countless inspections.

Some merchants are not allowed to trade.

However, Zhang He has already bought a boat, which is the boat of Han Yuan, a Han merchant. This boat has been traveling on the Yangtze River all year round. He is going to take this boat and go to Jiujiang County.

Xu Chu inquired and came back.

"Young master, our merchant ship has been seized by the state of Chu!"

Zhang He frowned and asked, "Why? Didn't we still fly together a few days ago?"

"The wharf has been controlled by the Chu military, and they are trying their best to search for Qin's spies... All ships are banned from sailing, but Chu's merchants are allowed to sail."
