The general is wise and mighty

The Chu army was not in a hurry when they were marching this time, and they would stop for a few days to rest when passing through the towns. Matchmaker task.

After coming out of Tongbai Mountain and continuing to the west, you will enter the mountainous area. It is no longer the great plain before, and the walk is zigzagging. Every time you enter a town or rest in a village, you have to let go of several mountains.

An Sheng realized later: "Is the Yangtze River next to it?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and nodded again: "The river is farther away from the mountain...but it seems to be okay if it's called the Yangtze River."

An Sheng nodded, thinking to himself that he could find some time to visit the Three Gorges when he turned around. Before the dam was built, it must be in the state of "Chaoci Baidi Caiyunjian, Qianli Jiangling One Day", and he can also experience a poetic fairy. The scene I saw in Shu Dynasty.

After walking all the way, Xiang Ji became more and more complacent.

Because according to the news they got, Liu Bang didn't seem to have any plans to stay in Chudi.

So Xiang Ji said to An Sheng: "Daughter-in-law, let's make a bet."

"Huh?" An Sheng sat on the horse and looked down at the book, then raised his head when he heard the words, "What are you betting on?"

"It's where the Liu Er Gouzi will go." Xiang Ji replied, "Let's bet, let's bet."

An Sheng felt that he had nothing to do when he was idle anyway, so if he made a bet, he would make a bet without losing anything: "Success." He said that my boyfriend was looking down at a book.

Xiang Ji stretched out his long arms and took An Sheng's book away. An Sheng was annoyed: "What are you doing?!"

Xiang Ji hurriedly apologized, and stuffed the book back into the bag behind Tao Hua: "I'm dizzy after reading too much... Besides, I bet you can't just talk, there must be something..."

An Sheng glanced at Xiang Ji suspiciously, but still nodded: "What are you betting on?"

"If the general is right, the daughter-in-law will be mine." Xiang Ji hurriedly made a request.

An Sheng squinted his eyes, and silently said three times in his heart that Lao Tzu is his own!

"And what if I'm right?"

"Then..." Xiang Ji rolled his eyes, "Then the general will give himself to his wife!"

An Sheng looked Xiang Ji up and down, and suspected that if he was really right, he wouldn't have the upper hand physically.But Xiang Ji felt that it was not easy, so many times when he was about to misfire, he braked in time, rushed out to take a cold shower, and then came back to sleep.

So nodded: "Okay. No matter what it is, cash it out after you finish playing."

Xiang Yu pouted, An Sheng stared.

Xiang Ji quickly raised the corner of his mouth: "Cheng Chengcheng, my wife can say whatever she wants."

When the Chu army arrived in Dengcheng, they suddenly received news that the Han army had been staying in Shangyong County for a while.

Xiang Ji was dumbfounded when he heard the news, he opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.Seeing his reaction, An Sheng found it amusing: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Ji shook his head in a daze, and swallowed dryly: "No...what...what..."

An Sheng grinned: "Don't forget about the bet..."

Xiang Ji had a look of grief and indignation, and originally wanted to fool him, so he took An Sheng and brought it up directly.

An Sheng raised his arm and patted Xiang Yu's shoulder: "Be mentally prepared." In fact, this sentence was also said to himself.

A few days later, the soldiers sent by An Sheng to inquire about the news came back and reported that Liu Bang's Han army had indeed stayed in Shangyong County for a while.And the defense around Shangyong is very strict, basically in a state of being inaccessible.

Xiaobing stayed there for a few days, and found that an army came from the west and entered Shangyong. It should be the reserve army of the Han army.Moreover, the people inside the city can't get out, and the people outside can't get in, so it's an isolated city.

An Sheng nodded thoughtfully, temporarily put aside the previous bet with Xiang Ji, and began to earn credit for the current situation.

The number of Han troops taken away by Liu Bang and Xiao He will definitely not exceed one hundred thousand, but the towns that were robbed of food and grass before were also taken away without exception. In addition, An Sheng's brain is not enough, and he can't figure out how many people Liu Bang has in his hands.

Zhang Liang made a conservative estimate. According to the little soldier, there will definitely be 15.

An Sheng let out a sigh of relief. With 15, the Chu army still has more than 30. After all, the difference is twice the number of troops, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Therefore, the Chu army continued to march westward after staying in Dengcheng for a few days.

An Sheng even sent a small number of troops to the surrounding towns to see the situation of the people in Chu, while he and Xiang Ji led the army straight to Fangling, and then camped.

Of course, Liu Bang also learned the news of where the Chu army was located, and he accelerated the speed of conscription around Shangyong.

Shangyong was already regarded as the city of Chu, which was close to Bashu. Therefore, Liu Bang was able to recruit some soldiers. If he saw a man with good physical strength and a burly figure, he would tie them up and take them back to the army.

It's almost reached the point of unscrupulous.

The Chu army stayed in Dengcheng for a while, and when the dispersed generals led their soldiers back to the camp gradually, they set off again and continued to approach Shangyong.

Under the city of Shangyong, the scene of soldiers patrolling as reported by the soldiers before has disappeared, replaced by the howling wind, the snow falling in the sky, and another year of winter has arrived.

The camp of the Chu army was set up some distance away from Lishangyong, leaving room for combat in the middle.

Xiang Ji originally wanted to go directly to attack the city, but An Sheng just didn't feel right, and said that Xiang Ji should lead the troops to wait for a few days, and they can train in the camp now, so that everyone can have a process of adaptation.

Although Xiang Ji didn't feel that it was necessary, but thinking that the soldiers had just come here after a long journey, they should be a little tired. According to An Sheng's words, increase the training time every day to let everyone get used to it gradually.

An Sheng still hasn't figured out any way to effectively counter the Han army's hot water attack, but fortunately, he doesn't plan to use this method again, and he is worried that, just like last time, at the critical moment, the pot will be leaked. The advantage in the war that he originally had the advantage was instantly wiped out.

Therefore, this time, it may be a real confrontation.

When the Chu army arrived at the city of Shangyong, they formed their formations, and it was still Xiang Ji who sent people out to scold and fight.

Yingbo had already adapted to this job. He had just arrived at the front of the battle and took a deep breath. Before he could speak, he heard a strange sound. He was puzzled, so he didn't open his mouth and listened carefully.

Then he immediately turned his head and shouted at Xiang Ji: "The whole army is ready!"

Not long after the words fell, the Han army rushed out from the edge of the city, gathered very quickly, formed a team, and attacked the Chu army.

Xiang Ji hadn't realized what Yingbo meant, but when he heard that the whole army was preparing, he saw someone rushing out from the opposite side.

The same is true for the soldiers of the Chu army. They originally thought that the Han army would be the same as before, and they would wait until their own camp stood here for more than half an hour before coming out to fight, or going out of the city directly. Unexpectedly, they had already made preparations.

Immediately, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I panicked. Basically, I just raised my spirits and prepared for the battle, and people rushed to me.

But Xiang Ji felt that he had received a challenge, because Fan Kui rushed to him directly, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Do it!"

Xiang Ji was immediately annoyed, and raised Fang Tian's painted halberd to meet him. This kind of character still couldn't be changed.

This time, Fan Kui seemed to have received some expert advice, and after he barely survived Xiang Ji's attack, he turned to attack Xiang Yu's foot.

Due to the limitation of Fang Tian's painted halberd in length and usage method, Xiang Yu would stagnate a little when he took it back every time he stabbed it. superior.

Xiang Ji was very displeased, because he hadn't been injured for a long time before, and this time the injury was on his leg, which would definitely affect the battle.

So he shouted violently, and Fang Tian swept his halberd, knocking him to the ground.He also took the reins, raised Wu Zai's front hooves, and stepped down towards Fan Kuai who was on the ground.

Fan Kui quickly rolled to avoid it, then turned over, his clothes were covered with dust, and the horse ran away because of fright, and there was no shadow in sight.

Sitting on the horse, Xiang Ji leaned down, and Fang Tian stabbed Fan Kui in the back with his halberd.

But Fan Kui staggered just now, and just dodged, Xiang Yu stabbed in the air.

So Xiang Ji immediately turned his horse's head and faced him head-on.

Fan Kui couldn't turn around and run for his life, because it was too late, so he had to block it with two sledgehammers, and his arms were bounced away by Xiang Yu's force.

Xiang Ji seized the opportunity and directly sent Fang Tian's painted halberd forward, stabbing Fan Kuai in the heart.

Fan Kuai's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief.

Xiang Ji stretched out his hand and pulled out Fang Tian's painted halberd, and held it in his hand again. Fan Kui immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and took a staggering step forward.

Looking at his appearance, Xiang Ji probably wouldn't live long, and thinking that his camp was not prepared at all this time, Fang Tian drew his halberd and shouted, "Heh!"

The soldiers of the Chu army knew that this meant withdrawing troops and returning to the camp, so they fought and retreated, and retreated towards the camp.

This time Guan Ying and Fan Kui led the troops together, and it was the first time that the Chu army retreated first, so he planned to pursue directly to see if he could go straight to the Chu army's camp.

But with his sharp eyes, he found that Fan Kui's condition was not very good. After chasing after him, he found that he was already vomiting blood.Then I thought that if I chased him and left Fan Kui here alone to die, I would probably be scolded by Liu Bang.

So he reined in the horse, and then ordered to the soldiers: "The Han army obeys the order and responds immediately!"

It was the first time that the soldiers of the Han army experienced the thrill of chasing the Chu army, but they did not expect to be strangled by life again.But the opponent was a general with absolute command power on the battlefield, so he had no choice but to stop the pursuit and watch the soldiers of the Chu army retreat back to the camp.

In Shangyong City——

Liu Bang jumped and scolded, Xiao He also jumped and scolded, Guan Ying knelt on the ground and was scolded bitterly.

Originally, he thought that he would relieve Liu Bang a little by bringing Fan Kui, who was about to return to the west, back to the city, but he didn't expect that Fan Kui died before entering the city, and he never saw his brother for the last time.And because of the delay of the fighter plane, Xiao He was also extremely angry, pointing at Guan Ying's nose and cursing for the first time.

Guan Ying was really helpless, and couldn't say anything, so he could only kneel on the ground, lower his head, and silently listened to the two of them alternately going into battle, scolding himself.

Chu army camp——

After Xiang Yu responded, he went to bandage the wound silently, and then returned to the tent.

It was the first time An Sheng saw his soldiers withdrawing back in such a state of embarrassment, he was frightened, but he immediately threw himself into his daily work, busying himself with taking care of the wounded, and went back to sleep in the middle of the night.

As soon as he entered the tent, he was stunned. Xiang Ji's legs were tangled up like rice dumplings, and he was sitting and shaking his feet.

An Sheng hurried over to check, and found that there was no blood seeping out, so the injury should not be too serious, and then asked: "What's the situation?"

"That bearded brat always smashed at the general's bottom. Fortunately, the general escaped in time and was only slightly injured, but not damaged." Xiang Yu comforted him, and he was particularly flamboyant, "The general hit his heart Prick it once, and it will probably be gone sooner or later!"

"Fan Kuai did it?" An Sheng thought about the characters.

"Yeah." Xiang Ji nodded, "It will be fine in one night."

An Sheng was surprised: "Who do you think you are, you'll be fine after one night and rest tomorrow."

Xiang Ji was stubborn: "No, the general wants to earn back."

"Didn't you kill him?" An Sheng frowned and asked back, "That's fine. There are a lot of people injured this time, so let's all take a little rest and reflect. You—have a good rest, and don't get up before noon tomorrow."

Xiang Ji hugged the quilt very happily and rolled inside, feeling that his daughter-in-law said such sweet words to him in a very serious and solemn way, it was really refreshing physically and mentally, and the injury on his leg was nothing at all.

Seeing An Sheng worried: "Be careful, don't touch it again!"

Xiang Ji immediately agreed, and left an open space for An Sheng to sleep, but An Sheng shook his head: "Go to sleep first, I have something else to do, don't wait."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the tent. Xiang Yu looked at his legs and then at the door. His originally bright mood fell, and he had to stay alone in the empty room, and fell asleep in great disappointment.

An Sheng stayed up all night, first helping to bandage the soldiers, and then busy with psychological work for everyone, while comforting them, he also asked them to resolutely abandon their current mentality. They must be prepared at all times and cannot be taken for granted.

The mood of the soldiers was gloomy for a while, because everyone felt that they were sure of victory, but they were a little frustrated when they were directly dismounted. It's just a failure, and you will earn back twice as much next time.

Noticing the psychological changes of the soldiers, An Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The sky is not as dark as before, and dawn is coming soon.

An Sheng stretched his waist and walked back to the camp. Finally, he could take a rest.
