Rebirth of Han Xin and Xiang Yu

The next day, Xiang Yu led an army of [-] to Xingyang to confront Liu Bang.

Although the war between Liu and Xiang was about to break out, Hengshan Kingdom, Jiujiang Kingdom in the southeast, and Nanyue Kingdom in the south of the Lingnan seemed not to be affected, and it was still a state of peace with men farming and women weaving.However, Qi State, which is far in the northeast, is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

"Report! Your Majesty, the chief general of the Zhao army, has been replaced by Xia Houying!"

Hearing this, Kuai Che couldn't help but looked up at Han Xin, Qi and Zhao were neighbors, but Xia Houying was not General Zhao, but Liu Bang's confidant.

"Xia Houying?" Li Zuoche repeated, an intriguing smile flashed across his face.

Xia Houying, a native of Pei County, is a fellow villager of Liu Bang.At first, he was in charge of raising horses and driving chariots in the stables of Peifu. Every time he passed the Sishui Pavilion after seeing off the guests, he would go to chat with Liu Bang, who was the head of the pavilion at that time. Since then, the relationship between the two has been very close.

But at the same time, Xia Houying was also the first person in the Han camp to appreciate Han Xin.Back then, Han Xin left Xiang Yu, entered Hanzhong from Baoxie Road, and went to join Liu Bang. However, when he arrived in Hanying, he was not reused by Liu Bang at first, and only served as "Lian Ao", that is, a small official in charge of the warehouse.Once, Han Xin and the other 13 people were executed because of poor management of the warehouse, and the supervisor was Xia Houying.The 13 people in the same case had already been beheaded, and finally it was Han Xin's turn. Han Dao said, "Don't you think the King of Han wants to win the world? Why did you kill the strange men?"

Xia Houying thought that Han Xin's words and deeds were strange, so he pardoned him especially. After talking with him, he admired him very much, and recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang.Liu Bang therefore worshiped Han Xin as the governor of Su Duwei.

Therefore, Xia Houying not only had the grace of saving Han Xin's life, but also appreciated and recommended it. At this time, Liu Bang sent Xia Houying as the main general to guard the border of Zhao and Qi, which was considered painstaking.

Han Xin saw Kuai Che and Li Zuoche kept glancing at him, one, two, three eyes, couldn't help but touched his chin, coughed, and said, "What are you two looking at me for? I don't know Abandoning public affairs because of private affairs."

Kuai Che's eyes could not help revealing suspicion.

Han Xin turned to Li Zuoche and reminded, "Xiangguo, Xia Houying is good at chariot battles."

Li Zuoche nodded.Chariot battles were very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period, but gradually declined in the Warring States Period.Although military vehicles are heavy and not as fast as cavalry, if they are used well, they are a sharp weapon to restrain cavalry.Nowadays many people are impatient with chariot battles, but perhaps Xia Houying was born in charge of chariots and horses, but has a lot of research on chariot battles.

Kuai Che carefully looked at the map hanging on the wall, frowned and said: "Is it just Xia Houying? This is wrong..."

Han Xin smiled and said, "Of course not."

Li Zuoche also nodded and said, "Of course not."

Kuai Che looked at Han Xin, then at Li Zuoche, and said blankly, "Who else?"

Han Xin touched his chin and said, "I won't talk about it first."

Li Zuoche also smiled and said, "I won't talk about it yet."

As a strategist born as a strategist, Kuai Che suddenly felt his head was like a bucket, and he was a little confused.

Han Xin looked at him reassuringly, and said: "Mr. Kuai, this is just my estimation, and the fact is not necessarily the case. Saying it now is just confusing people's minds."

Li Zuoche interjected: "Your Majesty, since you have an estimate, take it as a precaution. After all, that person has a solid foundation, and we must prevent him...from resurgence."

Han Xin clapped his hands, laughed loudly, and said, "Xiangguo and Guxiang are going together."

When Kuai Che heard the words "resurrected from the ashes", suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, as if he had caught something, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I know too."

A grain transportation team was slowly marching on the road, escorted by fine cavalry in front, behind, and on both sides of the grain team.Perhaps it was because of the rain just two days ago, the road surface was not dry, but still slightly wet, and the vehicles passed by, and two deep ruts were pressed on it.

"Report! General Xiang, the frontier is the boundary of Suiyang!"

Xiang Sheng's expression immediately became solemn, and he immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert, as if facing a big enemy.

The deputy general scratched his head and said, "General, will Peng Yue really come?"

Xiang Sheng didn't answer, because he wasn't sure whether Peng Yue would come or not.

Back then, when Chu and Han were at odds in the Xingyang and Chenggao areas, every time the Chu army transported grain from Pengcheng to Xiang Yu's army on the front line, and passed through Suiyang and Waihuang areas, Peng Yue would suddenly appear, harass the grain roads, and burn the grain and grass. If there are many Chu troops transporting food and the defense is tight, if Peng Yue cannot win, he will lead his troops to retreat, and the Chu army often has no time to catch up, which is very troublesome.

Sometimes, Xiang Sheng wondered, if it wasn't because of Peng Yue's lack of rations, which affected the strength of the Chu army, perhaps his brother would have captured Xingyang long ago and killed Liu Bang.

At that moment, the Chu army drew their arrows to the strings, drew their knives out of their sheaths, and walked cautiously. After walking for more than fifty miles, Xiang Sheng looked up and saw that it was getting late, and the soldiers and servants were already exhausted.

By the time the whole camp had finished their dinner, it was already dusk, and there was a crescent moon hanging in the dark blue sky, and sparse stars in twos and threes.Xiang Sheng divided the soldiers into two groups, one group guarded in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night, and asked everyone not to take off their armor when going to bed, in case someone would sneak attack at night.

Xiang Sheng arranged for the lieutenant to watch the first half of the night, and he himself to watch the second half of the night, that is, when the night is quieter, people sleep more deeply, and their defenses are more relaxed.

Many soldiers fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillows, not to mention the more hard-working servants, and there were loud snoring sounds one after another in the camp.

But in the first half of the night, Xiang Sheng did not sleep deeply. He woke up several times in his sleep. After waking up, he found that everything was as usual and fell asleep again. It was only in the middle of the night that he was really tired and fell into a deep sleep.Suddenly, in his dream, he felt someone shake his shoulders and said, "General, General Xiang?"

Xiang Sheng woke up with a jolt, as if his lieutenant was in front of him in the haze, he hurriedly asked: "Someone attacked the camp?"

The lieutenant scratched his head, yawned twice, and said, "No."

Only then did Xiang Sheng realize that it must be the middle of the night, and it was his turn to keep watch.He tried his best, poured some water from the water bag, patted his face with cold water, felt better, and said, "Okay, go to sleep."

Unexpectedly, nothing happened overnight.

In the early morning of the second day, the Chu army buried the pot to cook, and after breakfast, they got up from the camp and continued to march towards Xingyang.After walking another fifty miles, I saw that I was about to go out of the boundary of Waihuang.Xiang Sheng couldn't help but make up his mind, thinking to himself, Peng Yue didn't take advantage of anything when he was in Gaixia, and seeing that Han Xin no longer helped Liu Bang, maybe he might not come this time, it's unknown.

Before he was thinking about it, a rain of arrows suddenly flew in front of him. Many soldiers of the Chu army were unprepared and fell off their horses.Xiang Sheng felt bad, it turned out that the old boy Peng Yue was waiting here, when he changed his mind, a sharp arrow shot straight at his face.

Xiang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, turned sideways in his busy schedule, and the arrow flew past his cheek, but heard a scream from behind, it turned out that the sharp arrow hit a soldier behind him.

Xiang Sheng was furious, and shouted: "Peng Yue, is that you? You come out for me, what kind of hero are you hiding?"

What answered him was round after round of arrow rain. Many soldiers of the Chu army had been shot to death. They raised their shields one after another to block the sharp arrows. In order to cover, they squatted on the ground and put their hands on their heads. Some simply lay down on the ground, and some even got under the grain trucks. They were all trembling with fright and hated why they took this job.

"It's not good, the grain truck is on fire!"

Xiang Sheng was shocked. As expected, this round of arrow rain turned out to be rockets. He aimed at the grain truck and shot them. There must have been kerosene, sulfur and other flammable materials on the arrows. It started to burn, and the grains in the grain cart made a beeping sound, and after a while, thick smoke billowed into the sky.

Xiang Sheng didn't speak anymore, and ordered the lieutenant general: "You come to put out the fire!" Then he shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" After speaking, he protected the vital parts with the shield in his left hand, held the spear in his right hand, put his legs between the horse's belly, and moved forward. rush away.

He already wanted to understand that only by rushing through this range of bow and arrow and engaging with the enemy hand in hand, can he change the disadvantage of being beaten and turn defeat into victory.

It was Peng Yue who came. Seeing that the Chu army had reacted from the panic and began to charge, he chuckled, winked at the deputy general Hu Zhe, and said, "The rest follow me!" Then he poked his horse's head, Turn around and leave.

Xiang Sheng chased to the front and saw that Peng Yue had led his men back, and even the banner with the word "Peng" was thrown upside down. He was even more angry, and shouted: "Peng Yue, where are you going?!" He continued to lead his men to chase .

After chasing for more than [-] miles, he still couldn't catch up with Peng Yue. Seeing that the soldiers had lost their vigor and worried about the loss of food and grass, he turned his horse's head and led his troops back to the original place.

But he saw a mess on the grain carts. Although the flames had been extinguished, many grain carts were still emitting black smoke. Xiang Sheng was shocked and angry, and shouted: "What's going on?" The deputy general said with a sad face, "General Xiang, you go away." After that, another group of people came out and destroyed the food and grass..."

Xiang Sheng's face turned livid, and he said, "How much food is left?"

The deputy general murmured: "It's less than half of the original."

Xiang Sheng took a deep breath, finally suppressed the anger in his chest, and said: "Let's go, go to Xingyang!"

He had never escorted food and grass before, and every time he heard about how powerful Peng Yue was, he was just skeptical and not convinced.He later fought against Peng Yue in Gaixia, and felt that this so-called "King of Liang" had a false name and was not worthy of the name.Even so, this time he was still very cautious and prepared in every possible way, but unexpectedly fell into Peng Yue's scheme.

Peng Yue may not be able to fight directly, and Liang Jun is not an elite opponent of Chu Jun, but he is indeed proficient in "swimming warfare".Xiang Sheng frowned involuntarily, and became worried. His brother and the soldiers were fighting bloody battles on the front line. If they didn't have enough to eat, how would they fight?
