The general is wise and mighty

After getting along for a month, An Sheng has basically confirmed that Fang Pengyi has no two intentions. He really just wants to "keep one side safe" as he said, that's all, so he can go on the road with great peace of mind.

The people who were originally brought into the army in Yiwei lost their fighting spirit when they saw that Tian Rong was dead. Only one person committed suicide heroically after hearing the news, and the rest were allowed to go back by themselves.

An Sheng received letters from Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang respectively.

Fan Zeng said in the letter that his injury has basically healed, but he can't ride a horse for a long time, so returning to the army will drag everyone's hind legs, so he decided to stay in Xianyang, helping Xiong Xin recruit the hearts of the people, governing the country and so on Yes, it is also a more suitable job for the elderly.

After reading it, An Sheng shook his head and sighed. Shouldn't the elderly care about their grandchildren and enjoy the family happiness?How did Fan Zeng become this?

But Zhang Liang expressed his infinite worries in his heart. Although they had won some wars, they had already fought and retreated, and retreated to Xiyang. Although Liu Bang was not very popular, especially in Chu, But he kept winning, and kept capturing towns.

Seeing these things, An Sheng was always puzzled, why Liu Bang was clearly hated by the majority of Chu people, and yet he was able to win a complete victory and drive straight forward.

Could it be that there was a traitor?

Uncle Xiang is definitely not possible, and neither is Huan Chu, what about Zhang Liang?And Han Cheng?It shouldn't be, it's been so long, if it's really a traitor, it's hidden too deeply.

An Sheng rested his chin, staring at the sky, struggling, it was really puzzling.

Xiang Ji pushed the door and went out, intending to ask An Sheng if he was ready to leave, when he saw An Sheng sitting on the kang with only his underwear on, lying on the low table.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think?"

Xiang Ji took off his shoes and got on the kang, and sat on the other side of the low table.

"Huh?" An Sheng came back to his senses, and decided not to tell Xiang Ji. After all, he had been with Zhang Liang for so long, and he felt that this person was trustworthy. After all, he was the first Zhang Liang he met. I reused him first, and I also let him start calling Liu Bang to be a villain.

Seeing that An Sheng didn't say anything, Xiang Ji looked at himself in a daze, and said with a smile, "Did you wake up? Or leave tomorrow?"

"Ah?" An Sheng came back to his senses again, "What are you thinking? Let's leave today."

"Then the daughter-in-law will wear this dress? It's going to be autumn outside." Xiang Ji took An Sheng's clothes from the bed and handed them over, "General, help you wear them?"

An Sheng quickly took it: "I'll do it myself."

The last time he caught a cold, he asked him to help get dressed, and he stripped himself off while he was dressed, and touched his whole body. Although he still didn't make it to the last step, it was fine.

Xiang Ji smirked, touched his chin, recalled the feeling of that day, it was really good, and he must find a chance to do it again.

An Sheng tidied himself up and pushed the door out with Xiang Ji. In fact, everything had been prepared the day before, and he just had to rest for another night before he could set off.

This time, there was no swearing-in meeting, because An Sheng felt that he was still not on his own territory, and he had no confidence in doing anything.Who knows when the gunpowder appeared, and if it is not much different from the current time, maybe there will be a "bang" during the meeting, and I will explain it again.

Xiang Ji originally wanted to see how his daughter-in-law looked fearless in front of everyone, but when he asked, An Sheng said he didn't want to do that, and was a little disappointed.

The army assembled quickly, and An Sheng just briefly said the destination and route of the march, and then asked everyone to strengthen their determination, firm their goals, and continue to struggle.

Finally, Xiang Ji waved his hand: "Let's go!"

They did not choose to go to Xiyang to meet Zhang Liang and fight against the enemy together, because according to Liu Bang's current speed, it is estimated that they could only be a distance behind Liu Bang when they arrived in Xiyang, which could neither form a two-sided attack nor relieve Zhang Liang. The burden on the side is better than rushing directly to the front.

Therefore, the route formulated by An Sheng was to go back to Yiwei from Jimo, pass Yushan, pass through Zhongli, and arrive at Lugao. It is estimated that Zhang Liang and Liu Bang will be able to meet the battle in this place.

Xiang Ji heard that An Sheng's route was so simple, but the places were so far apart.

An Sheng frowned: "What's wrong?!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Xiang Ji quickly waved his hands, knowing that An Sheng had always been bad at geography, and he could only tell the small towns he passed through in great detail with the help of Zhang Liang when he usually formulated any marching routes.

But now that Zhang Liang was not around, An Sheng had to write to Fan Zeng to ask about the general direction.

However, generally speaking, the journey was relatively smooth. After entering the territory of the original state of Chu, every time they passed through a town, there would always be folks who left the food they had just harvested for their own needs. They were all sent to the Chu army. An Sheng looked at the ever-increasing grain and grass delivery trucks and felt a little headache. If he went to Lugao like this, he didn't know how many troops would be needed to take care of the grain and grass. What if there were insects?

But the folks were so enthusiastic, and they were very active in sending their own food, but An Sheng refused and was angry.They all said that they heard that the war with Liu Bang was retreating steadily, so they specially sent food to let the Chu army eat better and eat more, so that they could have the strength to fight the Han army.

It's not easy for An Sheng to refuse everyone's good intentions, but there is too much food in the army, so he can only let the freshmen, first, second, and third graders take the food with them at night, and sneak door-to-door to deliver it to the people's homes.

After the Chu army left, everyone realized that they didn't know that there was more food in that corner, and they didn't know where it came from, so everyone said that they would have food with An Sheng Xiang Ji, even the old man Enjoy meals every day.

The large troops of the Chu army went all the way to Lugao, which is very close to Chaohu Lake.An Sheng originally thought that Liu Bang might not have arrived here, and originally planned to go west to meet Zhang Liang after a two-day rest.

But one day later, I received an urgent letter from Zhang Liang, asking where An Sheng had gone, saying that Liu Bang had suddenly attacked vigorously, and he had already retreated to Jiuzi, and he could not retreat any further.

An Sheng held the letter at a loss, and asked Xiang Ji, "Where is Jiuzi?"

"On the edge of the Wujiang River." Xiang Ji was lighting the brazier, and was a little surprised when he heard this. "Where did you hit?! It's too fast."

An Sheng nodded: "I think so too."

Xiang Ji stood up and frowned: "Is Liu Bang so powerful?"

An Sheng sighed: "It's hard to say... Let's go to Jiuzi along the Wujiang River and save our own people from the north."

"Success. When are you leaving?"

"Now."

"Ah?" Xiang Yu pointed to the brazier on the ground, "Just lit it."

"Take it away." An Sheng ordered, turned his head and left.

Xiang Ji squatted on the ground and watched the brazier gradually burning red, and finally extinguished it cruelly.

I just came out of a small village called Ruxukou. Although I don't know where it is at all, according to Xiang Ji, Ruxukou is next to the Wujiang River, but if calculated according to modern geography, it should be on the bank of the Yangtze River.

On the Wujiang River, the wind is howling.

An Sheng felt that he had spent this year—or maybe these years on the road. Although he was wearing thick clothes, his face was flushed from the cold.

In winter, the weather in the south is cold and humid.An Sheng stayed in the north for a long time a while ago, and although he didn't come to the south "suddenly", he still didn't quite get used to it. He wanted to hold the brazier while riding a horse.

Therefore, Xiang Ji has been holding him immediately, wrapping him in a big cloak, like a big rice dumpling.

Every time when An Sheng was about to be out of breath, he quickly pulled himself out, took a few breaths, and then put the cover back on.But this time Xiang Yu took the initiative to get An Sheng's head out of the big cloak.

"Why?" An Sheng was unhappy, his head was exposed very cold.

"You said the general died here?" Xiang Ji pointed at the river in the distance with Fang Tian's painted halberd.

An Sheng poked his head out and saw that the torrential river was frozen near the bank, but the middle part could still vaguely see flowing river water.

"Is this the Wujiang River?" An Sheng had only been to the Three Gorges, so he couldn't tell if it was the Yangtze River.

Xiang Ji nodded: "Yes."

An Sheng struggled to expose his arms, took a deep breath, and coughed a few times.

Then I found myself and Xiang Ji were the only ones around me, as well as Wu Zai under me and Tao Hua beside me: "Where are the others?"

"Hurry up, the general will take you to have a look." Xiang Yu replied looking at the river in the distance.

An Sheng tried his best to get the cloak away: "Go down and have a look."

After wandering around for a while, An Sheng asked Xiang Ji.

"If you are forced here by Liu Bang's Han army, all the soldiers around you will have died in battle. Someone on the riverside is willing to send you back to Jiangdong, and there is only one boat, and the Han army cannot chase you down. What will you do?"

An Sheng brought out his own problems, which had been bothering him since he was studying Hongmenyan in high school.If it was An Sheng himself, he might choose to return to Jiangdong, wait for the opportunity, and make a comeback.Gou Jian tried his best, and three thousand Yue soldiers could swallow Wu, but he was subservient, and Xiang Ji just returned to his base camp.

"What about you?" Xiang Ji asked back.

An Sheng blinked, when did he also participate in history?

"I—you just treat me as if I'm by your side."

Xiang Ji thought for a while: "If the general kills himself, will my wife accompany me?"

An Sheng shook his head without hesitation: "I don't want to die in vain again." After speaking, he saw Xiang Ji squinting his eyes slightly, a little hurt, "I died once, I don't want to die like that again, it's too embarrassing."

However, Xiang Ji still touched An Sheng's face: "The general will fight to protect you across the river."

"I didn't expect you to die with all your heart." An Sheng knocked off his hand, "I will not die with you, nor will I cross the river alone, what I want is you——come with me, don't say that all soldiers die The general can't live alone, don't think about seeing Jiangdong's elders without face, you've heard that Qingshan is still there without firewood?"

Xiang Ji was stunned. He didn't expect An Sheng to be so excited.

"Haven't heard of it? Then you know now." An Sheng was rarely angry, "Save your own life, make a comeback, make a comeback! Don't just want to die, sentimental, unlike you!"

"So——" Xiang Ji summed up An Sheng's meaning, "Wife wants the general to stay and lead the troops again, cross the river to the west, defeat Liu Bang, regain the victory, and roam the world?"

An Sheng kept nodding when he heard the first few four-character words, thinking that this should be to let Xiang Xiaoji know what he should do, but when he heard the last four words, he felt a little confused.

"Wandering around the world? Where did you come from?" An Sheng interrupted immediately.

"It's the same as now." Xiang Ji smiled, wrapped his arms around An Sheng's waist, and jumped onto the horse.

Then with his legs clamped, Wu Zai spread his hooves and galloped, and Tao Hua immediately followed, and ran in the direction of the large army again.

"Understood?" An Sheng was still not at ease.

"I don't understand." Xiang Ji threw out two words casually, seeing that An Sheng was in a hurry, he continued, "I just know that the general will save his life to accompany his daughter-in-law to travel around the mountains and rivers, until he turns gray hair in the end."

An Sheng froze immediately, his face slowly turned red, and then shrank his whole body into his cloak, and said in a small voice: "If you know it, you know it, what are you talking about..."

With a smile on his lips, Xiang Ji hugged An Sheng tightly with one hand and the rein with the other, and walked towards the large army.

Jiuzi City.

Zhang Liang was almost unable to bear it anymore, but there was a torrential river to the east outside Jiuzi City, and there was really no way out.In the midst of winter, Zhang Liang was so anxious that he started to think about whether his countermeasures were right.

The shouts of killing outside the city were loud, and all the generals were on the city wall directing their soldiers to resist the attack of the Han army. Basically, they all died, and no one was injured at all.

It was already time for Huan Chu to return to the city to rest, but seeing the critical situation, he gritted his teeth and continued to fight on the front line. Originally, Yingxiu had a scar on his face, and on the brow bone, there was a bit more murderous look.

Zhang Liang was a little desperate. He originally thought that this would relieve An Sheng, but he didn't expect this to happen. Zhang Liang felt that he had to die to apologize.

Standing on the city wall, Zhang Liang looked at the large number of Han soldiers below the city, completely encircling Jiuzi City, and felt a little unsteady.He fell to the side, but luckily a soldier supported him.

"Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Liang raised his hand to indicate that he was okay, and suddenly heard some different voices from a distance, and rushed to the side of the city wall, not caring that he would be injured by the arrows.

However, he finally made him wait, look forward to, and see—there are more and more soldiers rushing from the north, if they cannot be the Han army, then they must be the Chu army led by An Sheng.

Zhang Liang was overjoyed, and for the first time shouted to everyone: "Persevere! The general and military adviser have arrived with their troops! We must wait until they come to relieve the siege!"

Hearing the news that Xiang Ji and An Sheng had arrived with their troops, the soldiers felt their fatigue disappeared and their wounds no longer hurt.

Liu Bang originally thought that Jiuzi had been fighting for such a long time, and it would not take long to break through and completely defeat the Chu army along the way, but he did not expect that the Chu army's large force would arrive at this time.

The Han army was extremely exhausted at first, and they thought they could go to the city to rest if they persisted a little longer, but they didn't expect to fight for three days, and finally they were attacked by the enemy.

It didn't take long for the Han army's offensive to be resolved by the Chu army led by Xiang Yu.

However, the Han army was stationed between Xiang Ji's army and Jiuzi City. Although they were attacking from both sides, An Sheng didn't know the situation in the city at all.

An Sheng looked at the towering Jiuzi city wall in the distance, took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled——

There should be no one who is a traitor, it is better to rescue the person first, and then ask clearly.

The author has something to say: *ug one, Jiuzi is actually Wuhu, and then on the east bank of the Yangtze River, one is cerebral infarction, and it looks like the west when looking at the small map. . .Forgive me~~~
