Since the military saint Sun Wu wrote "The Art of War", this book of soldiers was born, and it was regarded as a holy book by the people of the soldiers.

Wind forest volcano, four-character road to the best of the soldiers.

For hundreds of years, among the nations, there have been thousands of soldiers, but a few people have been able to do these four words.

Without him, it is easier said than done.

Xiang Yan stood on top of the city tower, looking at the dark sky in the distance, feeling melancholy.

At the end of the world, the famous will wither. In this era when the military god Li Mu passed away, the world's most famous generals are only Yu Wang Jian and his Xiang Yan.

It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain. And there is no one who is a general, who does not know these sixteen words.

It's just that under the Pingyu City, Wang Jian led more than 80,000 outlaws to attack his Xiang Yan's 200,000 army, but he once again saw Wang Yan's madness.

In general, the general seeks stability. Because of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of the general, if one carelessness is not careful, the consequences will probably be devastating -- the army will destroy the country and destroy it.

But this Wang Qian, with 80,000 outlaws, dared to run thousands of miles with only cloth clothes and white blades. The risks involved in this are unimaginable to ordinary people.

No general dared to trample on his net worth and name so badly, but Wang Jian did just that.

Unexpected!

"This madman!" Xiang Yan said sincerely.

In the bloody battle that night, the 200,000 Chu army was scattered by Wang Qian's 80,000 dead soldiers, Xiang Yan only led more than 8,000 people in his headquarters to retreat to the city, and collected the defeated army along the way, and by this time, he had 50,000 horses, which was enough to protect himself. Moreover, the rest of the scattered soldiers are also gathering here. The crude estimate is that there are also 80,000 or 90,000.

The sky was overcast, and it was already raining lightly.

Xiang Yan didn't really care so much about this failure. Although Wang Jian relieved the siege of Pingyu, his army was already at the end of its strength, and there was no need to worry about it in a short time. Moreover, this is the Chu Di Sleeping Town, with a large number of grain, grass and weapons, Xiang Yan can gather another 200,000 troops at any time to fight against it.

What Xiang Yan is worried about is the situation in Nanyang and the recent situation of Changping Jun.

At Xiang Yan's level, the victory or defeat of a battle was not enough to shake his mind. The rise and fall between the state of Qin and the state of Chu is what Xiang Yan really cares about.

Qin is strong and Chu is weak, and to change this pattern, the ideal situation is to seize Nanyang and trap the main force of the Qin army. Then instigated the rebellion of the nobles in the old land of Zhao Yan and Han Wei, so that Yingzheng could not take care of the tail. In this way, the state of Chu can get a chance to breathe and advance slowly.

Therefore, the importance of Changping Jun to the Chu State is self-evident.

The sudden arrival of Wang Qian's army interrupted the communication channel between Xiang Yan and Changping Jun. The last news Xiang Yan received about Changpingjun was that Yingzi Yishuai rushed to Pingyu with 3,000 horsemen, Wang Jian led his army south, and Changpingjun reminded him to be careful.

It's just that this news was a step late, and he only got it after the defeat of the army.

"Wu Anjun, young master, he ran over from Xiangdi." The report from his subordinates interrupted Xiang Yan's musings.

"Yu'er? Monkey business! ”

Xiang Yan got the report from his subordinates, screamed angrily, and hurriedly walked down the city.

Under the city walls, a child was at the side of the stable, packing up his horse with the cavalry of the Chu army.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyu was only a seven-year-old child, and his upright posture revealed a heroic attitude. Although Xiang Shaoyu was born with divine power and was much taller than ordinary people of the same age, his appearance was still very immature, and he looked out of place compared with the cavalry sergeants of the Chu army under the city.

Xiang Shaoyu saw his grandfather Xiang Yan and ran over happily. It's just that Xiang Yan saw his grandson, but his face sank, "The military camp is heavy, how can you be so foolish, don't go back to Xiang Di soon." ”

"Grandfather, why can't I join the army? What the sergeants of my Chu army can do, I can do the same, and I do it even better than them. Xiang Shaoyu was not convinced and argued.

"The country is not weak enough to need a child like you to fight. What you're going to do now is not to enlist in the army, but to go home and study. ”

"Humph! Grandfather bias. The fourteenth prince of Qin, Yingziyi, is also a child, why was he able to lead the army to battle? even defeated the Hu army outside the five-car city. What he can do, I Xiang Shaoyu can also do. ”

Xiang Shaoyu didn't look over his head and said a little childishly.

"It's not good for you to learn from anyone, but you actually learn from that thief!"

In Xiang Yan's tone, the resentment against Ying Ziyi was still very heavy. When he heard that his grandson compared himself to his deeds, he was even more furious.

"General Xiang, there is someone outside the city who wants to see you, and he claims to be Changping Jun."

During the dispute between the two grandsons, the patrol captain outside the city came to report and handed over a token of Changpingjun.

Xiang Yan looked at the token in his hand, and was not in the mood to argue with Xiang Shaoyu anymore, straightened his clothes and armor, and ordered his subordinates: "Hurry, quickly meet me outside the city." ”

Xiang Yan hurriedly took his generals, and in the open space that was originally crowded with manpower, only Xiang Shaoyu was left.

Xiang Shaoyu pursed his lips and said angrily: "Hmph! This Changpingjun doesn't know who can make his grandfather pay so much attention? ”

However, Xiang Shaoyu had a child's mentality after all, and Xiang Yan left in a hurry before he had time to deal with him, which meant that he could continue to stay in the barracks. The feeling of being snubbed by his grandfather in his heart was replaced by joy in an instant, Xiang Shaoyu jumped up and walked to his war horse, picked up a brush and brushed his tall war horse.

Outside the city.

The white-haired Changping Jun stood with his hands in his hands, but there were no Tian Guang and other guards beside him.

Xiang Yan and the generals rushed outside the city and saluted: "The last general, Xiang Yan, will see the son!" ”

"See Childe." Behind Xiang Yan, all the generals knelt down and bowed.

Changping Jun is the title of the Qin State, and Xiang Yan, as a Chu general, naturally cannot call Changping Jun the title outside Chu City.

"It doesn't have to be this way." Xiang Yan was halfway through the worship and was helped up by Changping Jun.

"Get up, all of you!"

Xiang Yan and Changping Jun entered the city side by side and welcomed him back to his mansion.

Changping Jun was originally going to sit in the guest seat, but Xiang Yan refused to let him. However, Changping Jun is the guest host.

The two sat down, and Xiang Yan asked, "Childe, I didn't know you were here, but there has been a change in Nanyang?"

"The situation in Nanyang has changed greatly, and the old man has worked hard for many years, but it was ruined in one fell swoop, and he is ashamed of the people of Chu and Li!"

Changpingjun sighed leisurely, full of sorrow. As a general of the defeated army, Xiang Yan can also understand Changping Jun's mood at this time.

"Childe, don't worry, my Chu country has a lot of land, even if I put up a position to fight head-on, I may not lose to the Qin country."

Xiang Yan's comforting words made Changping Jun feel a little better.

"That's right, with the national strength of my Chu country, I will pour the strength of the whole country and work hard. Even the Qin State may not be able to take advantage. It's just that the old man still has a little worry? ”

"I don't know what Changping-kun is worried about?" Xiang Yan asked.

"Yingziyi!"
