The general is wise and mighty

The situation in the city is not bad, except that the food has been eaten clean after being besieged by the Han army for so many days.

Zhang Liang smiled awkwardly: "On the eve of the final battle, I was worried that everyone would be hungry, so I distributed all the stocks at one time."

An Sheng raised his eyebrows: "So Brother Gong thinks that the siege of Jiuzi must be solved, right?"

"Naturally." Zhang Liang nodded, and there was still a piece of dust on his face that he didn't wipe off, "Brother An and the general join forces, no one can stop them."

The corner of An Sheng's right mouth twitched: "Brother Gong hasn't seen you for a long time, but he has learned how to flatter..."

"Daughter-in-law! What are you talking about?!" Xiang Ji looked serious, An Sheng looked back at him in surprise, and for the first time refused to let himself finish speaking.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu pulled An Sheng over seriously and leaned into his ear: "Wife is not a flatterer."

An Sheng took a deep breath, gently grabbed Xiang Yu's ear, and pulled his ear to his mouth: "Xiang Xiaoji, don't pretend to be stupid, it's boring."

Xiang Ji glanced up at An Sheng secretly, and found that he was staring at him, he nodded immediately: "I know."

An Sheng let go, and Xiang Ji immediately stood up, his back straight, and he was very brave.

Zhang Liang laughed even more awkwardly after seeing the interaction between An Sheng and himself: "Brother An, what does this mean..."

"An Sheng is unclear about something, so please ask Brother Gong to speak for a while."

At this time, everyone was standing on the city wall, and there were a lot of people. Although An Sheng wanted to ask about Zhang Liang's specific situation, he still didn't want to ask the question directly in front of so many people. If it was true, everyone would lose face.

"I don't know what's important, Brother An?" Seeing An Sheng's expressionless face, Zhang Liang didn't even bother to check the situation of the injured soldiers, but directly called himself out alone.

An Sheng's eyes fell on the west, his face was hidden in the shadow cast by the rising sun in the east, his expression was unclear.

"Brother Gong, do you know where you are?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that An Sheng would ask this question, so he thought about it: "Brother An, do you want to ask about the history or customs of Jiuzi? Liang only knows a thing or two, so I'm afraid it will be insipid if he said it out loud. Brother An's feeling of victory."

"A complete victory?" An Sheng quickly asked back, but his voice was not loud, "I wonder how Brother Gong understands these four words?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while, but before he could speak, he was robbed of the right to speak by An Sheng: "Although our army is outnumbered by the Han army, the disparity in strength is naturally a disadvantage in warfare, but——I asked Brother Gong just now. Where are you, where is this place? The answer is only two words, Chu Di. The only thing An Sheng doesn't understand is why Brother Gong can't use the power of the people to fight a good defense of the city without ending up in such a panic Let's escape."

An Sheng suddenly turned his head back to look at Zhang Liang, with pain and disbelief in his eyes.

After Zhang Liang listened quietly, he fell to his knees with a "plop".

An Sheng didn't reach out to help, and let Zhang Liang kneel down.

Originally, everyone nearby was whispering about what the two military divisions were talking about, but Zhang Liang knelt down before saying a few words.

Especially Han Cheng, who was very emotional after seeing Zhang Liang kneeling on the ground, took a step forward and wanted to rush over, but was hugged by Uncle Xiang to prevent him from moving forward.

Zhang Liang lowered his head, his eyes fell on the stone brick in front of him, his voice was low.

"Liang privately thinks that if the people resist desperately, they will naturally gain the reputation of defending their home and country, but if the city falls accidentally, with that cruel temperament, they will either massacre or ruin women."

An Sheng frowned imperceptibly.

"Therefore, before the war started, Liang secretly made a covenant with the people. If the Han army invaded the city and pretended to be attached, and when Brother De'an and the general returned from Qi to counterattack, they would cooperate internally and externally. It would be a smashing situation."

An Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Liang's thinking was not too wrong.From the Battle of Chengyang, it can be seen that Liu Bang actually proposed to slaughter all the young and old in the city in order to win Xiang Ji's favor and improve his status in the army. This shows his intentions.

"So..." An Sheng spat out two words, and the atmosphere between the two eased a little, "Brother Gong, can you agree with the people on the code to attack the city?"

Zhang Liang still knelt on the ground and didn't get up: "The first few cities agreed to be in a hurry, and the future will be too late. Afterwards, from the city of Qi (qian [-] tones), it was agreed to use Brother An's whistle as a code signal. Siege the city immediately."

An Sheng nodded, took a step forward, bent down and helped Zhang Liang up himself.

With the help of An Sheng's strength, Zhang Liang stood up, his temples were already a little gray, his hair style was slightly messed up after several days of hard fighting, and a few strands of hair fluttered in the air with the wind.

"It's An Sheng's fault, he judged a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart." An Sheng looked into Zhang Liang's eyes sincerely, and apologized with sincere words.

Zhang Liang quickly shook his head: "Brother An speaks seriously. In this battle of Jiuzi, Liang has already started to think about whether his previous ideas were wrong. Fortunately, Brother An arrived in time, otherwise, Liang may not even have the chance to explain."

An Sheng still didn't smile: "How could Liu Bangxiao know about Brother Gong's plan?"

Zhang Liang shook his head: "No, Liang was only in the army with General Huan, Uncle Xiang and General Han Cheng discussed this matter, and he didn't even mention a letter to Brother An, even if a letter was intercepted by the Han army, It shouldn’t be able to see anything.”

An Sheng also shook his head slightly: "I mean the speed of the battle - if they win easily, they will easily become suspicious."

Zhang Liang suddenly realized, and quickly explained: "Probably not. Occasionally, he would counterattack and snatch back a city, and sometimes he would fight fiercely for many days before letting go."

An Sheng felt more at ease: "That's good."

In fact, Xiao He is not that stupid.

Although the Chu army resisted desperately at the beginning, he went east and captured the cities so smoothly. He also doubted whether it was a trick, but seeing that the cities were in his hands, Liu Bang also said that he would take the cities into his pocket. There will be no incident claims in the middle, and the Chu army has counterattacked several times afterwards, and occasionally won, so the reason is attributed to the superiority in numbers.

And this time the defeat of the Han army in the Battle of Jiuzi was naturally attributed to the number of reasons.

Liu Bang fled all the way west, and only dared to stop to rest at noon. By the way, he gathered the scattered team and counted the number of people.

There are a total of 15 soldiers of the Han army. After such a long battle, plus the battle of Jiuzi, which was finally beaten to pieces by the Chu army, there are now only 8 or [-] soldiers left, which is less than half.

Liu Bang's complexion was very ugly, it could be said to be ferocious, and his complexion was ashen.

"Where is Zhou Bo and Cao Shen going now?!" Xiao He ignored Liu Bang and asked a soldier who delivered a letter.

Xiao Bing submitted a letter, which had been delivered since the beginning of the war, but there was no time to hand it to Xiang or Liu Bang, and now he had the opportunity, thanks to the fact that he was not dead.

After reading it once, Xiao He said to Liu Bang: "Zhou Bo and Cao Shen are stationed in Chaohu City."

Liu Bang slammed on the shaft of the carriage with a "slap": "We are only a hundred miles away, why don't you come to help?!"

Xiao He put away the letter: "Why didn't the Emperor Han interrogate him face to face?" It is estimated that Xiao He was the only one in the Han army who could talk to Liu Bang like this without being beheaded by Liu Bang.

Liu Bang nodded slowly: "Okay, go to Chaohu Lake immediately, without any stop!"

Soon, the Han army raised the tattered flag again, and marched towards Chaohu Lake.

The next day, the news that Liu Bang arrived at Chaohu and joined Zhou Bo and Cao Shen also reached the Chu army.

An Sheng is discussing the feasibility and drawbacks of Zhang Liang's plan with Zhang Liang, but the discussion is just to think about what needs to be prepared, so don't be at a loss when the time comes.Because it has already been implemented, there is no way out.

Today, there are nearly 20 Han troops in Chaohu.Nearly 35 Chu troops are in Jiuzi.

The two armies are hundreds of miles away from each other and face each other from afar.

Judging from the weather, Liu Bang said that Xiang Ji's crimes are serious, and it is not suitable for Chu to rule the world.

From the perspective of terrain, Chaohu City is close to Chaohu Lake, and Jiuzi is backed by Wujiang River, both facing the water.

From the point of view of the number of people, Xiao He was very nervous, An Sheng felt nothing, Chu had a lot of soldiers and took advantage.

Judging from public opinion, Xiao He is very proud, An Sheng is expressionless, and the Han army "occupied" most of the towns in Chu, and the public opinion foundation is very solid.

Both sides rested for a period of time, the soldiers healed and the horses rested.

The Chu army is fine, but the Han army's need for this period of time is very urgent.

Therefore, in the first half of the spring, the Chu army's counter-offensive battle officially began.

"Where's your general?"

An Sheng didn't pay attention, and stopped a Han Jun, and the Han Jun soldier pointed An Sheng in the direction.An Sheng wondered as he walked, maybe Xiang Yu had a sex change, why he was in the "residential area" instead of staying at the training ground when he had nothing to do.

When they reached the place, An Sheng realized that this was Zhang Liang's house.Even if it was a matter of the army, why didn't Xiang Xiaoji come to him, but ran to Zhang Liang instead?

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, so An Sheng slapped the door casually, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Inside the door, Zhang Liang was standing, Han Cheng was hugging him, and both of them were taken aback when they saw An Sheng coming in.

An Sheng grinned, feeling that he had misunderstood the person. He probably asked Han Bing, and the general they were talking about was not Xiang Ji, but Han Cheng.

So he said quickly: "It was windy just now, I got sand in my eyes, and I didn't see anything. Sorry, you continue." Then he turned around and left, closing the door behind his back.

An Sheng stayed at the door for two more seconds to gather his mind, and then ran away immediately before the two people in the room could react.

Inside the house——Zhang Liang quickly asked Han Cheng to leave, and said angrily, "What is General Han Cheng doing?!"

Han Cheng blinked, and stuck to it again: "After winning, brother Liang will go back to Korea with me."

"South Korea?" Zhang Liang flicked his sleeves and cupped his hands in the northwest direction, "The Emperor Yi is in charge of the whole world, so why is South Korea divided into Chu?!"

Han Cheng hugged him tightly: "Yes, yes, brother Liang, let me go back to my hometown in Korea."

Zhang Liang was helpless and couldn't shake it off, so he had to find some excuses: "General Han Cheng should focus on the war, and don't let other things tire your body and mind."

An Sheng ran to the training ground in one breath, but it turned out to be a place where the common people spend their free time chatting, and a big tree had sprouted new leaves.

I saw Xiang Yu's figure from a distance, and he was watching the soldiers throwing each other. Ever since An Sheng told him about him the day he first entered Jiuzi, Xiang Ji was very serious during the day, and only at night would he sneak over and throw people away. Rubbed into his arms.

An Sheng quickly ran to stand beside him, panting for breath.

Seeing his daughter-in-law coming, Xiang Ji didn't care about instructing the soldiers to move, and helped An Sheng calm down: "Why did you run like this?"

An Sheng waved his hand: "Don't...don't mention..."

Xiang Ji thoughtfully stopped talking, and waited for An Sheng to regain his normal breath, then took the water bag next to him and handed it to him.

An Sheng took a sip of water, and the tightness in his throat disappeared: "Let's get ready, we will leave for Chaohu the day after tomorrow."

"Isn't it the day after tomorrow?" Xiang Ji was surprised.

"Really?" An Sheng was even more surprised, "Don't fool me, I thought it was tomorrow, but I said the day after tomorrow because you didn't move today, hurry up."

Xiang Ji had no choice but to nod: "The day after tomorrow is good, the day after tomorrow is good."

"Okay." An Sheng put the water bag away, "I'll sit here and rest for a while, you watch carefully."

Xiang Ji ran out for a few steps, then ran back, rubbed his hands and said to An Sheng, "Daughter-in-law, take care."

"Jibu!"

"Here!" Ji Bu replied loudly in the queue.

"Get out!" Xiang Ji waited for Ji Bu to stand in front of him, "Fight with the general!"

Ji Bu was pleasantly surprised, and quickly put on his posture: "Please enlighten me, General."

An Sheng was very satisfied to see the two fight together, Xiang Xiaoji is still a decent general, and Ji Bu is not bad at all, this can be regarded as a signal to everyone, let them know that Ji Bu also wants to fight. When the general.

"Brother An." Zhang Liang came running at this moment.

An Sheng clearly saw him, but quickly turned his head and pretended to be immersed in the battle between the two.

Zhang Liang ran to An Sheng's side and shouted again: "Brother An, Liang and General Han Cheng are not what you think." What Zhang Liang meant was that he did not promise Han Cheng to go to Han in the future.

An Sheng raised his hand to stop it: "It's okay, I understand that year-end love is nothing. We all understand that sometimes feelings come and you can't stop them, right?" An Sheng raised his eyebrows at Zhang Liang .

Zhang Liang shuddered: "Brother An—this is—what—say—" he almost stuttered.

An Sheng gave me an understanding look: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone can understand, don't worry."

Zhang Liang, who is so serious, is going crazy: "Brother An, Liang is talking about not going back to Han with Han Cheng!"

"Oh—" An Sheng scratched his cheek, "I'm sorry, I got it wrong."

Zhang Liangkuang nodded.

"Brother Gong, of course you can't go to Handi. An Sheng still relies on you to assist Xiong Xin. This is called Emperor Master." Zhang Liang was frightened by An Sheng's words, and it took him a while to regain his voice. .

"Teacher of the Emperor—" Zhang Liang's voice trembled a little, "Liang's ability is low, how can he take on such a big task, but Brother An..."

"It's nothing to do with me." An Sheng waved his hand, "I'll follow the chick, wherever he goes, I will go." His eyes fell on the two people in the scuffle, and one of them was so dazzling.

"Practice more during this time, you'll be fine." An Sheng comforted Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang had no choice but to nod his head, accepting the matter temporarily.But that's good too, there's no need to find excuses to reject Han Cheng.
