Zhanghe, Xiang Yu and Zhang Han have been here for more than half a year, the two sides have fought several times, Xiang Yu led the princes of the coalition army more and more brave, Zhang Han gradually fell behind.

Just a day ago, Xiang Yu suddenly sent the general Putian and Yingbu across the Zhanghe River, and killed Zhang Han by surprise in the sewage, this time Zhang Han lost very badly, he lost Ao Cang, almost all the grain and grass were robbed, and he went to the street to ask for food.

When he was in Julu, he couldn't stop Xiang Yu from crossing the river, and this time it was the same.

Xiang Yu's army had burned down his barracks, he had a brief meeting with Xiang Yu, from Xiang Yu's eyes he smelled the breath of death, it was impossible to reverse the defeat, and he had no choice but to continue to retreat.

After a night of fighting and paying a heavy price, he finally got rid of Xiang Yu's pursuit, and his life was temporarily saved.

The depressed Qin army was like a lost dog walking on a muddy path, wailing and weeping along the way, and they had no fighting spirit at all.

The sky was white for a while, and seeing the rising sun of his birth, Zhang Han's heart was even more lonely and sad.

I think he was just an ordinary guard of the palace at the beginning, and during a hunt with the First Emperor, he saved the First Emperor from the mouth of the tiger, which won the appreciation of the First Emperor.

For the first emperor's kindness, he has always been inscribed with five feelings, the first emperor had promised him a great trust, hoping that he could ensure the prosperity of the Great Qin Empire for thousands of years, Zhang Han also took the head of the Xiang to inherit.

But now, he can only take a group of remnants of the defeated army all the way, despondent and gone, the former pride and ambition has been worn out, riding on horseback Zhang Han looked at the first day that gradually rose, and then looked at the frightened and depressed soldiers under his hands, and said sadly, "Your Majesty, although the minister has the heart to serve the country, but he is unable to turn the tide of the power to return to the sky, minister!" Ten thousand deaths! ”

When Sima Xin and Dong Fei behind him heard this, they were also sad from their hearts, and they couldn't help crying in a low voice.

Zhang Han gritted his teeth and said, "Where is the front?" ”

Sima Xin said: "It's Yinxu." ”

Zhang Han sighed and said, "Have you already arrived at Yinxu?" As soon as the Yin Ruins are the land of my Great Qin, I think that at the beginning, as soon as my Great Qin Iron Horse came out of the Qin Pass, I walked all over the six countries, invincible, no one can be the one, but now, I was beaten back like a lost dog. ”

At this moment, an urgent report came from the front, "Report!" ”

A herald rushed over.

Zhang Han frowned, he felt a trace of unease.

It was the emperor who sent an urgent decree, and the emperor severely reprimanded him for the mistakes of defeating the army, and the severity of his tone was really rare, and he had to behead him for public display.

Regarding this, Zhang Han can accept that after such a big defeat, the emperor is not angry before there is really a ghost, but what he can't accept is that the emperor actually ordered him to defend Yin Ruins, and never let Xiang Yu enter the territory of Qin!

Of course he knew that this was actually what Zhao Gao meant, Zhang Han received the order, and was immediately furious, Yinxu is an open plain, there is no danger to defend at all, now Xiang Yu's princes have more than 400,000 people, and he only has less than 200,000 remnants left, people can't bend bows and crossbows, horses can't gallop, how can they hold it?

He originally wanted to retreat into Qin Pass and recuperate, even if he couldn't defeat the coalition army, at least he could keep Daqin's homeland, but if he defended Yin Ruins and lost the last bit of Daqin's old capital, then Daqin would really be doomed.

Zhang Han trembled angrily, and looked up to the sky and shouted, "Eunuch thief misleading the country!" ”

When the surrounding soldiers heard Zhang Han's wild words, they were all shocked and trembling......

Xingyang City, the top of the army has long been a mess, and the main general has disappeared mysteriously, for an army, is there anything stricter than this?

The search team secretly dispatched had already searched a hundred miles in a radius, and everyone was in a hurry.

In the Taishou Mansion, all the generals gathered, everyone's faces were not good-looking, there was a gloomy cloud, the air was condensed, and if it went on like this, the paper would not be able to hide the fire after all, and if it spread, the consequences would be very strict.

Xiong Daiyu looked melancholy, while Huang Xiuer glared at Xiang Zhuang hatefully.

If Xiang Zhuang hadn't been stupid and rejected Wang Xuan, then Wang Xuan wouldn't have run away in a bad mood, Wang Xuan would not have run away in anger, then Wang Xiaoming would not have chased him out, and if Wang Xiaoming hadn't chased him out, he wouldn't have gone away.

So in the final analysis, it is all Xiang Zhuang's pretending to be b's fault.

This is the logic of women, Xiang Zhuang can recognize it if he thinks about it, and he has to recognize it if he can't figure it out, so he swore that he would find Wang Xiaoming within three days, and not a single hair would be missing, but now that it has been half a month, he has not even found a single hair.

Facing Huang Xiuer's sharp eyes, Xiang Zhuang felt tremendous pressure.

"Report!" A soldier rushed in.

Xiang Zhuang immediately got up and said, "How is it!" Have you found General Wang? ”

The soldier's face tightened, and he said in a trembling voice, "We searched a hundred miles to the east, and we searched everywhere, but we found no trace of General Wang. ”

Xiang Zhuang said fiercely: "Are you sure you have searched everywhere?" ”

The soldier affirmed, "Sure, sure, yes!" ”

Xiang Zhuang said sharply: "What about the toilet!" Have you found a latrine? ”

The soldier was dumbfounded, "Mao...... Toilets? This one...... This ......"

Xiang Zhuang shouted: "Meow! I knew you weren't looking for it, needless to say, you must have gone out to fish! Come! Drag me down and replay the 20 boards! ”

The soldier begged for mercy and was finally dragged down by the ruthless executioners.

Xiang Zhuang smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, I still have a three-way search team, and I will definitely be able to find General Wang, and I will ensure that not a single hair will be missing." ”

Everyone let out a "cut" in unison, this word fully expressed their contempt for Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't hold it on his face.

"Report!" Another announcement was made, and a soldier rushed in.

Xiang Zhuang said with anticipation: "How about it!" Did you find General Wang? ”

The soldier said, "No! We searched all the way west for a hundred miles, and you can rest assured, we have even searched the latrines, and we have found no trace of General Wang! ”

Xiang Zhuang's face was full of anticipation and turned into anger, "Really? I ask you, are you searching for a men's latrine or a women's latrine! ”

The soldier was dumbfounded, "Female ...... Do you have to search the women's toilet too? ”

Xiang Zhuang was furious: "What do you say! ”

The soldier argued, "How could General Wang go to the women's bathroom!" He's not a pervert! ”

Xiang Zhuang was already furious: "How do you know that he is not!" I knew that you must have gone out to fish lazily, someone! Drag me down and replay the 20 boards! ”

Needless to say, this soldier suffered again.

Everyone cast a disdainful look at Xiang Zhuang again, it was clear that he was incompetent, and he wanted to anger others, can your reason for beating people be more shameless?

The pressure on Xiang Zhuang is really unprecedentedly huge.

"Report!" The soldiers who searched south also came back and reported: "We searched a hundred miles to the south, and all the men's and women's latrines were carefully checked, and dozens of girls were stunned, and no trace of General Wang was found!" ”

Everyone cast approving glances, and Liu Bang gave a thumbs up, "Sure enough, it's a teachable child!" The afterlife is terrifying, that ...... I'll go with you tomorrow to find ......."

Fan Xu, they scrambled and said, "I'll go too, I'll go!" ”

Lu Pheasant glared, "Do you want me to go with you?" ”

Liu Bang showed a sneering expression and shut up.

Xiang Zhuang has lost his mind: "I've found it all, haven't you?" Good! I'll ask you! Have you ever gone into the pit to fish! ”

I'll rub it! Is that okay too?

The soldier cried and said, "Don't play with me, okay?" How could General Wang hide in a pit......"

Xiang Zhuang yelled, "You haven't fished yet, how do you know it's impossible!" I knew that you must have gone out to fish lazily, someone! Give me ......."

The soldier said dejectedly, "Okay, I understand, twenty boards, I admit ......"

After speaking, he took the initiative to go out.

Huang Xiu'er said coldly, "Are you enough, do you just know how to beat innocent soldiers, so that you can get my father-in-law back?" ”

Xiang Zhuang said, "Eldest sister, what do you say you should do?" ”

Huang Xiuer said coldly: "We should post a revelation to find people!" ”

Han Xin said categorically: "Absolutely not! If Qin Jun knew that our lord was missing, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Huang Xiu'er sneered: "You really think about it like that? Or do you wish I wouldn't come back? Well? ”

After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang's face was calm, she didn't say a word, and Han Xin didn't answer her words.

Xiang Zhuang hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, don't worry, I still want the last team, and I will definitely be able to find General Wang!" ”

The crowd expressed doubts about his confidence with disdain.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, mixed with a faint smell of Xiang, getting stronger and stronger! It's getting thicker and thicker!

"Report!" With a notification, a soldier covered in flying was coming towards the hall, and everyone showed a look of horror, horror and admiration, admiration and horror.

The soldier stepped in in a hurry, "Report!" I took my brothers all the way to the north for 100 miles, digging all the men's and women's latrines, but I found no trace of General Wang......"

A room of people scattered and fled, leaving only Xiang Zhuang to spit and say, "Reward you with a hundred taels, I will reward you personally, big brother, I will obey you, take the brothers down to drink the bar, wow......"

After saying that, he took out a hundred taels, and the soldier was overjoyed, took the silver ticket, and went down happily.

After a long time, everyone gathered again, breathing fresh air, as if they were in a different world.

Lu Pheasant said, "It's not a way to go on like this, yesterday I received Marshal Xiang's military information, he has crossed the Zhanghe River and forced Zhang Han to Yinxu, it is estimated that Zhang Han will not last long, and then Marshal Xiang will break through Qinguan and take Xianyang ......"

Liu Bangdao, "The second brother entered Xianyang first, wasn't it already predetermined?" What's the problem? ”

Lu Pheasant squinted at Liu Bang, "There is naturally no problem for him to enter Xianyang first, but if we are too far away, it will be very problematic, if in the future, all the princes of the world will enter Xianyang with the second brother, and we have been staying in Xingyang without a single step, in terms of meritorious deeds, what do you think we can get here?" ”

Han Xin said, "If this is the case, even if it is General Wang and Pei Gong, I am afraid that they can only be divided into two pieces of barbaric land at most, and they are just princes whose names do not match their names, as for us...... Hehe......"

When it comes to interests, everyone's faces show a trace of greed, people are not saints, and working hard is not for any high-sounding but worthless bullshit, interests, this is the eternal pursuit of the vast majority of people.

Han Xin and Lu Pheasant secretly exchanged glances, and they knew that their words had already touched most people.

But Huang Xiu'er said coldly, "It's your business if you want to leave, I want to stay and find my father-in-law." ”

Xiong Daiyu immediately said, "I'll stay too!" ”

Of course, Lu Pheasant didn't care about their stay, she said directly to Zhong Hangyue, Liu Song, and Shen Lie, "What about you?" As an anti-Qin general with heavy troops, aren't you ready to contribute to the common people in the world? ”

She is very good at talking, and she knows that not everyone can be tempted to take advantage, and some people can only be moved by emotion and reason.

Huang Xiu'er looked at Zhong Hangyue, and Zhong Hangyue said coldly, "Liu Song and Shen Lie will lead the troops to follow you, and I will stay and continue to look for General Wang." ”

Liu Song and Shen Lie were about to be anxious, and Zhong Hangyue said, "It's so decided." ”

Lu Pheasant showed a hint of pride.

"What is certain? I'm not dead yet! Who dares to do the big thing in the main army without authorization! ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked around, they saw Wang Xiaoming step into the hall.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Wang Xiaoming said coldly, "Listen, without my order, no one is allowed to take half a step out of Xingyang City!" ”

The corners of Lu Pheasant's mouth showed a hint of resentment.
