The Chu army pursued all the way to the north, killing more than 50,000 soldiers of the Li army, and only the 3,000 people retained by Liu Zhixian were spared.

In the end, only Zhou Cheng and a few generals around him arrived at Longguan and survived.

This battle has directly laid the foundation for the future strength and weakness of the two sides.

Then, Han Ming personally led an army of 50,000 and headed for Pingguan.

Only by winning Pingguan can we ensure the safety of Shangrao and the land of the three counties captured by Han Ming.

So even if he knew that it was difficult to level the level, Han Ming still had to work hard.

On the fifth day of Zhou Cheng's escape to Pingguan, Han Ming's army of 50,000 troops immediately approached the foot of Pingguan.

Looking at this Xiongqi Fortress, which was no less than the Dragon Pass, Han Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that Liguo also has such a majestic pass, wouldn't it be too wasteful if such a big pass is not used as the dividing line between the two countries?"

Liu Zhixian, who was beside him, immediately understood Han Ming's meaning, clasped his hands into fists and said, "My subordinates are willing to win Pingguan for the general!"

Han Ming hurriedly waved his hand, "Hey, don't worry." This kind of dangerous level is not easy to take, not to mention that the defenders of the city are still well-organized, and we have to think of a perfect way. ”

"The perfect way?" Liu Zhixian's face was full of doubts. What method can be used in siege warfare? Moreover, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what the other method Han Ming was talking about.

Han Ming's words made him puzzled, but with his trust in Han Ming, he knew that this great general, who was so convincing at a young age, must have his own plans in his heart.

The army set up camp outside Pingguan City, and Han Ming gathered all the generals to discuss how to break the pass.

Several major generals have asked Ying to lead troops to attack the city, but everyone does not have much hope for whether they can lay a flat pass, after all, it is a dangerous pass, and the city is high and thick, and it is not easy to break through.

Among them, Hu Bugui's attitude is the most intense, but it may be that he lost in Jincheng last time, although his attitude is very clear, but he did not casually set up a military order.

The last time he fought Jincheng, he was ambushed by Zhou Cheng halfway while chasing the Dragon Saving Army, if Han Ming hadn't asked Feng Yu to follow him secretly, I'm afraid he would already be a headless ghost by now.

In addition, he really didn't have much confidence in winning the level, so he was not as decisive as last time. But this is an opportunity after all, and he still has to fight for it.

Looking at the excited few people in the camp, in fact, Han Ming had already arranged it in his heart, but he just wanted to brainstorm and see if there were any unexpected gains.

However, several generals made a fuss about who would attack the city first, which made Han Ming quite disappointed.

"General, it is difficult to get a level, and my subordinates think that it is better to disintegrate from the internal division. At the critical moment, Liu Han spoke again.

This suggestion is directly in one sentence, and it speaks to Han Ming's heart.

Han Ming hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what can you do?"

The rest of the generals saw Han Ming's expression and knew that they hadn't found the point that Han Ming said, so they closed their mouths one after another.

Only Hu Bugui, he didn't know what this Liu Han was talking about.

Ignoring everyone's thoughts, Liu Han said: "Although Pingguan is dangerous, the terrain is not as good as Longguan, and Pingshan stretches for thousands of miles, and it is not without partitions. When his subordinates were in Leping County, they knew that from Leping to the north, they could directly enter Liguo Zuolidu County, and then from Zuolidu County, they could detour behind Pingguan. ”

This is what Liu Han found out when he took Leping County, he didn't think much about it at the time, and now he suddenly found that he could go directly to the back of Pingguan through this road, and when the time came, Pingguan would naturally be difficult to hold on.

Everyone was surprised by Liu Han's strategy, but saw him speak again: "However, this time the guard of Pingguan will be Zhou, with his experience, he will definitely be able to guess that our army will do this trick, if so, it will lead to our army alone in a deep and helpless situation." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at everyone, and then continued: "Therefore, in the eyes of his subordinates, the most important thing at present is to use the plan to divide the relationship between Zhou and the court of Chu State. ”

"Okay!" Han Ming couldn't help but clap his hands, "Those who know me, Liu Hanye." ”

When everyone heard that Han Ming had such a high opinion of Liu Han, they also knew that Liu Han had said what he was thinking, so they applauded one after another.

Being praised by Han Ming like this, Liu Han was also a little nervous, and said with some embarrassment: "The general's words are serious, although his subordinates think of this, they have no clue about how to separate the relationship between Zhou and Emperor Liguo, and they are a little ashamed. ”

Han Ming smiled, "It's okay, it's enough for you to think of so much, then, let's take a closer look." ”

After speaking, Han Ming recovered the expression on his face and said solemnly: "Liu Zhixian listens to the order!"

"The subordinates are here. ”

"Order you to be the pioneer of the siege, lead 10,000 people to conquer the level, remember, fight how you want. ”

Liu Zhixian never thought that this order to attack the city was actually given to him, he hurriedly reacted and replied solemnly: "Get the order!"

Then Han Ming glanced around at everyone and said, "Where are the generals?"

"The subordinates (the last general) are here. “

"Ordered you to take care of the army, patrol strictly, and beware of enemy attacks on the camp. ”

"Yes. The crowd replied in unison.

As soon as he came out of the camp, Hu Bugui's face was gloomy, and things were as he thought, Han Ming really handed over the power of attacking the city to his cronies, you must know that among all the generals present, he was the most capable of fighting tough battles, but Han Ming didn't seem to see him, and didn't take him seriously at all, how could he not be depressed?

But things have been arranged, no matter how stupid he is, he will not brush Han Ming's beard in public, but what he will do, no one can predict.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Zhixian led the army to attack Pingguan.

Liu Zhixian was not joking when he came up to fight, he specially borrowed the mountain-breaking cannon from Han Ming, and even collapsed a corner of the city tower in Pingguan.

It's just a pity that although the mountain-breaking cannon is more powerful, it is still not enough to see in front of the heavy Pingguan, and it is only a small corner of the collapse.

Liu Zhixian will also seize the opportunity, and immediately increase his forces to rush to the gap, and almost captured the gap several times.

It's just that the one guarding the pass is Zhou Cheng, a humanoid morale enhancer, and wherever he goes, the morale of the Chu army is high.

Liu Zhixian's vigorous siege battle ended in failure on the first day.

When Liu Zhixian informed Han Ming of this result, he behaved very calmly, and the expression on his face did not make the slightest compromise because of this.

Just told him to do a good job, and he will continue tomorrow, and then Liu Zhixian will be taken away.

Next, just when the generals thought that Han Ming had trapped himself in the camp every day in order to meditate on how to separate Zhou Cheng from Emperor Liguo, he had already climbed the hillside not far from the camp with Ye Die.

Ye Die didn't know what Han Ming was doing, he didn't bring a close general, and second, he didn't arrange to bring armor guards, just the two of them, wandering around in this mountainous land.

"Childe, we have been out for so long, if your subordinates find out, we will be misunderstood again. ”

Of course, there will be a misunderstanding, Han Ming took her out of the camp secretly, if those generals found out, Han Ming and they couldn't blame, but he had no official position, no name and no point, maybe he would say that he was a bad man.

After all, there are many cases in the book, she once heard Han Ming talk about it, and also commented that those people are what kind of disasters to the country and the people, she doesn't want to be the "disaster to the country and the people" in it.

'Misunderstanding?'What is the misunderstanding?'Thought I'm obsessed with women all day long?Fluttershy, you're looking down on me, and I don't dare say anything else, but in this barracks, I say one, and no one dares to say two. ”

Ye Die looked at Han Ming's confident expression, and felt a little happy in his heart, everyone wanted the man they loved to be the best person in the world, and at this moment, Ye Die felt that he had done it.

"What is that boy going to do?" Ye Die wondered.

Han Ming is stalling, "I heard Han Yu say that the wind on Pingshan is very strong, so I want to blow it." ”

“......”

Hearing Han Ming's explanation, Ye Die was a little speechless for a while, and she suddenly couldn't understand what he said.

"Fluttershy, look at that!"

Ye Die looked at the sky in the distance in the direction of Han Ming's finger, and in a trance, there was a cloud like a fast horse, heading straight for Longguan.
