Xiang Kang, who lives with himself and doesn't like or even has some fear of battles, has fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking like Sima Xin and Zhang Han, and feels that the second uncle of the hero is also as filthy and incompetent as himself, and the battle is absolutely not able to fight the Qin army who is good at the battle, only relying on the pit to abduct and steal chickens and dogs, but he completely forgot that his own family has been relying on the battle for generations, and his hero second uncle is not only taught by his more heroic father Xiang Yan, but also followed Xiang Yan to fight in the south and the north when he was young, just in terms of battle experience, I'm afraid that even Zhang Han, the commander of the Qin army, can't reach it.

In such a situation, when receiving the news that Xiang Liang's army had the upper hand in the battle, Xiang Kang was of course overjoyed and ecstatic, and then, when he saw that Zhang Han was forced to send reinforcements to pick up Dong Fei, who was beaten by Xiang Liang, Xiang Kang, who had always liked to be a turtle with a shrunken head, also rarely took a stand, and decisively ordered Xiang Zhuang, Zheng Bu and Ding Ji to lead the army to attack, intercept the reinforcements sent by Zhang Han on the spot, so that his heroic second uncle could clean up Dong Fei without distraction, and further expand the results of the battle.

The young marshal army with high morale also fought a rare beautiful battle in the field battle, without any shameless tricks, the young marshal army who went out of the camp to fight bravely, stubbornly resisted, and repelled the attacks of the Qin general Shicheng many times, and successfully won a lot of valuable time for Xiang Liang's army. And Xiang Liang also seized the opportunity, through the clever use of troops, coupled with the brave battles of Xiang Yu, Huan Chu and Ji Bu and other Chu army generals, and finally succeeded in defeating Dong Fei's Chinese army with the tactics of flanking before and after, forcing Dong Fei's army to flee in a rout, and then pursued and killed with all his might, successfully joining the young marshal's army under Suiyang City, shattering Zhang Han's dream of breaking Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang's uncle and nephew.

Seeing Dong Fei's retreat, the Qin army reinforcements led by Shi Cheng did not dare to entangle with the young marshal's army anymore, and quickly changed the attack to defense, first covering Dong Peng's defeated brigade and fled to the Qin army camp, and then before the main force of Xiang Liang's army joined the battlefield, Shi Cheng hurriedly retreated with the army in a hurry. For the first time in the field battle, the young marshal army who repelled the Qin army did not chase and kill, but hurriedly joined Xiang Liang's army under the leadership of Xiang Zhuang, and the earth-shattering cheers also sounded under Suiyang City, like thunder, and it did not stop for a long time.

After many years, he finally met his second uncle again, Xiang Zhuang, the most stable character among the children of the Xiang family, was abnormal, just saw Xiang Liang, and immediately jumped off the war horse and crawled in front of Xiang Liang, holding Xiang Liang's legs and crying, Xiang Liang, who attaches great importance to family affection, couldn't help but burst into tears, stroked Xiang Zhuang's head and choked up, and said goodbye to Xiang Zhuang vigorously, and then when the army finished cleaning the battlefield, Xiang Liang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Xiang Zhuang: "Zhuang'er, what about Kang'er?" Where are they now? ”

"In the camp." Xiang Zhuang pointed to the camp of the young marshal's army, and said, "Uncle, please wait a moment, they should come over soon." ”

"It's a big shelf." Xiang Bo stood up next to him in time, and said in a strange manner: "I know that the elder came in person, but he still came to save him, but he hasn't come out of the camp to greet him until now, do you want us to be elders to visit him in turn?" ”

"Master Xiang, what do you mean by this?" On the other side, Old Man Fan stood up and said with a sneer: "At the moment of the great enemy, our army has just arrived at the battlefield, and we have not had time to set up a camp, the soldiers have not rested, and the war horses have not had time to feed, so it is the time when the foothold is not stable." Is it also wrong for Young Marshal Xiang to stick to the camp, gather troops and horses to meet the tyrannical Qin army at any time, and not give the tyrannical Qin army a chance to launch an assault? ”

"You're ......!"

Uncle Xiang was furious, and looked at Old Man Fan, who had been right with him in everything since they met, but Old Man Fan was not afraid, sneering and ready to quarrel with Uncle Xiang at any time. Fortunately, Xiang Liang next to him spoke in time and shouted: "Brother, stop!" Fan Zuoshi didn't say anything wrong, and Kang'er didn't do anything wrong, at this time, Kang'er should give priority to restraining the army and covering our army to set up camp and rest. ”

"Third uncle, don't pick on Brother Kang's eggs." Xiang Yu also said unceremoniously: "How can Brother Kang respect his second uncle?" We just entered Jiujiang County, he asked Ya Father to welcome the second uncle for him, and asked the second uncle to take over his army and city on the spot. ”

Xiang Bo closed his mouth helplessly, and he also hated his unfilial nephew Xiang Kang more and more, why did he coincidentally send Fan Zeng, a stubborn old man, to greet his brother for him? He did everything against himself, so that he couldn't sow discord in front of his brother, not to mention, and he hit it off at first sight with his most competitive and most capable nephew Xiang Yu, and was directly respected by Xiang Yu as his father, which seriously weakened his influence on the eldest nephew.

At this time, Xiang Liang had also been optimistic about the location of the camp, and ordered the Chu army to set up camp one mile north of the camp of the young marshal's army, and at the same time urged Xiang Zhuang, Zheng Bu and Ding Ji and other generals to quickly lead the army back to the camp, continue to accept Xiang Kang's orders and commands, and not consider the issue of merger and reorganization for the time being, and let Xiang Kang guard the camp with peace of mind, and wait for himself to establish the camp, and then come to the camp to meet him. Although Xiang Zhuang, who finally reunited with his second uncle and brother, was reluctant, he still followed the order under the urging of Xiang Liang, and hurriedly withdrew to the camp with the army out of the camp.

Xiang Liang took the initiative not to consider the issue of merger and reorganization for the time being, and also let Xiang Zhuang and other troops continue to accept Xiang Kang's orders and commands, which is of course related to the fact that it is difficult for the enemy to implement it at present, but if it is not for a certain amount of belly and mind, it is still difficult for ordinary people to have such a gentlemanly demeanor. In addition, Xiang Liang didn't care about the gains and losses of the Chu army, and would rather get water for trouble, but also let the Chu army and the young marshal's army set up camp side by side and work together to fight against the Qin army, so after learning about these situations, Xiang Kang's heart was still quite moved, knowing that Xiang Liang really loved his nephew very much. Then, just after the Chu army set up the camp, Xiang Kang hurriedly arranged for Chao Zhi and Feng Zhong and other generals with foreign surnames to stay in the camp, and took all the Xiang family children in the army and Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping's advisers to the camp to visit his uncle.

led the children of the Xiang family to the gate of Xiang Liang's camp in a hurry, and before Xiang Kang stepped forward to identify himself, a tall and tall Chu general had already rushed to Xiang Kang's face, and then before Xiang Kang could see the appearance of the person who came, the Chu general had already carried Xiang Kang's ass with one hand, lifted Xiang Kang directly into the air, and shouted excitedly: "Brother, do you remember who I am?" ”

"Brother, even if I don't remember your appearance, I remember your strength." Xiang Kang smiled bitterly in the air and said, "Can you put me down and speak?" We've all grown up, don't you think you're a big brother at every turn? ”

Xiang Yu laughed, then put Xiang Kang down to the ground, and then ignored the other Xiang family disciples who had already bowed down one after another, hugged Xiang Kang, strangled Xiang Kang's neck and scolded with a smile: "Little guy, how old were you when you left, I couldn't imagine that you could take our Xiang family brothers to fight such a large territory and so many troops, and compare Brother Ah and me!" said, you are so angry, do you want to deliberately anger your brother, so that I can't hold my head up in front of the world? ”

"Brother, do I have the guts to deliberately anger you?" Xiang Kang struggled and begged: "Let go, I'm about to lose my breath." ”

After strangling Xiang Kang a few more times, and almost didn't strangle Xiang Kang's tongue, Xiang Yu let go under Xiang Kang's bitter pleading, and Xiang Kang, who was coughing painfully, saw his famous overlord cousin clearly for the first time in this era.

In fact, Xiang Yu's appearance is quite similar to Xiang Kang, both are quite handsome, and the facial features and appearance can easily be seen to have a blood relationship, but the temperament is completely opposite, Xiang Yu's temperament is generous and heroic, and at first glance it is brave, but Xiang Kang is much more elegant and elegant, and his physique is obviously thin and weak, although it gives people a feeling of being very urban, but it is obviously not as bold and domineering as Xiang Yu.

At the same time, Xiang Kang's scheming is of course much more than Xiang Yu, looking up and down at his overlord cousin, Xiang Kang even slowly shed tears, while bowing to Xiang Yu, he choked up and said excitedly: "Brother, you and the second uncle are finally here, from now on, I can finally rest assured, I don't have to worry about not being able to carry this burden alone, which will affect the children of our Xiang family and the two uncles." ”

Choked and said, Xiang Kang also cried directly, so moved that Xiang Yu hugged Xiang Kang again, and also cried and said: "Good brother, I have worked hard for you, I have worked hard for you, you can rest assured, from now on, if anyone dares to bully you again, Brother I'll chop him up and chop him up, and I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Seeing this scene, of course, the children of the Xiang family cried loudly, hugged Xiang Yu and Xiang Kang tightly, and cried one after another. Zhou Zeng, Chen Ping, Li Shiqi and others next to them peeked at each other, and they all said in their hearts: "It's easy to deal with, such a person, I'm afraid that he will be sold by Xiang Shaoshuai, and he will have to count the money for Xiang Shaoshuai." ”

After crying for a long time, or under the careful reminder of Zhou Zeng and others, Xiang Yu remembered to lead Xiang Kang and others to meet Xiang Liang, but in Xiang Liang's Chinese army tent, of course, the children of the Xiang family had to fall to the ground and cry bitterly, so moved that Xiang Liang was also in tears, got up and picked up his children and nephews one by one, and then took Xiang Kang's hand and looked carefully, and after a long time, he nodded with satisfaction, choked and said: "Give us the Xiang family to fight, I didn't embarrass your eldest father." ”

"Uncle......."

Xiang Kang, who is good at acting, did not open his mouth, and tears were already pouring out of his eyes, Xiang Liang patted the top of Xiang Kang's head lovingly, and said softly: "Don't cry, you are the commander of the first army, crying like this, how can you convince the public?" ”

In fact, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo's appearance is also very familiar, so that people can know at a glance that they are brothers of the same mother, but just like Xiang Kang and Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang's personality and temper are also diametrically opposed to Xiang Bo, and his dignity is far beyond Xiang Bo, not to mention, and his behavior is completely different from Xiang Bo's small-bellied chicken intestines, and he also knows how to be a corporal of etiquette, when Xiang Kang introduced Zhou Zeng and others to Xiang Liang with tears in his eyes, Xiang Liang not only saluted respectfully one by one, but also pulled Zhou Zeng and said: "Zhou sacrifice wine, thank you for your hard work, the old man has long known, Since Kang'er started the army, you have been by his side to support him, Kang'er can have today, you are definitely a great contribution. ”

Zhou Zeng hurriedly humbled, but Xiang Liang instructed the children of the Xiang family: "Children, from now on, you must be like Kang'er, respectfully call Zhou Saijiu as Uncle Ya, respect him as an elder, and give him a gift to his son and nephew." ”

The children of the Xiang family agreed together, including Xiang Yu, all of them will respectfully treat Zhou Zeng's nephew and nephew, and call him Uncle Ya, Zhou Zeng, who has really worked hard, was moved in his heart, and quietly glanced at Xiang Bo with a gloomy face next to him, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder the children of the Xiang family don't treat you very much, compared with your brother, one of you is in the sky and the other is underground." ”

After introducing the cronies brought by Xiang Kang, Xiang Liang introduced Xiang Kang to the foreign surname Wenwu in his army, and let Xiang Kang know Cao Ji, who had a lifelong friendship with Xiang Liang, as well as the general Huan Chu brought by Xiang Liang from Jiangdong, as well as Song Yi and Ji Bu and others who were included after Xiang Liang crossed the Yangtze River in the north. As a result, when introducing Ji Bu, who was quite famous in Chudi, Xiang Kang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Ji Bu: "It turns out that you are Ji Bu Ji Yishi, the name of the righteous man's daughter Yinuo, I have heard of it a long time ago, and I once sent people to look for it, but unfortunately I have not been able to do it." I didn't expect to meet here today, and I was really fortunate to be here. ”

"The young marshal is humble." Ji Bu returned the salute and said: "Actually, when the young marshal you came to Pengcheng, the last general was in Pengcheng, and I once witnessed the young marshal you broke Zhao Zhuang and forced Pengcheng to surrender. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xiang Kang listened to it for a while, and hurriedly said: "In this case, why didn't you report your name to my army at that time, general, and meet me?" The general's chivalrous name is well known, and it is impossible for my soldiers not to introduce you to him? ”

"It's not weird to be blunt." Ji Bu said very directly: "At that time, Ji Mou did want to visit you in the army, but Ji Mou heard that the young marshal relied on fraud to get Zhao Zhuang to withdraw from the army and win the enemy fighter for you, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he broke off this idea." ”

Xiang Kang's skin thickness was one of the best in the late Qin era, but hearing Ji Bu's direct words, Xiang Kang couldn't help but blush and was extremely embarrassed. On the other side, Uncle Xiang was smiling, still happy that his nephew was deflated. Fortunately, Xiang Liang broke the siege in time and said, "Kang'er, General Ji is a rough man, don't mind." I have also heard about Uncle Pengcheng's battle, you did nothing wrong, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, in order to reduce the loss of soldiers and soldiers, it is reasonable to use some means, and no one can blame you. ”

"That's right, brother, you didn't do anything wrong." Xiang Yu also patted Xiang Kang on the shoulder, and said: "But Brother, since we have already learned the teacher, if there is any bitter and vicious battle, Brother will be in front of you to bear it, and you don't need to be like in the past. ”

Xiang Kang smiled bitterly, and only then did he understand why some famous knights in Chu insisted on refusing to use them for themselves. Chen Ping and Li Shiqi over there peeked at each other again, and said together in their hearts: "In the future, if we want to come out, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

Finally finished the etiquette, Xiang Liang immediately ordered to serve wine and food, to celebrate the victory of the army and the young marshal army in the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiang Kang, who never dared to set up a banquet before the battle, hesitated, but Xiang Liang said in time: "But please also forgive you, the enemy is current, we can't drink and make mistakes, so today's banquet, each person must not drink more than three glasses, otherwise the military law will be engaged." ”

Xiang Kang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the young marshal army to take a seat, and at the request of Xiang Liang, he sat down as the chief of the left column, so that Xiang Bo, who was sitting in the right column, inevitably had an ugly face (Chu State is respected by the left). However, just as the attendants were setting up a banquet, a scout suddenly came from outside the tent to report, saying that the Qin army camp was rushing to dig a new camp moat, build a high camp wall, and at the same time rush to repair new fortifications such as horse rejection, antlers, guard towers, and arrow towers.

"Is there such a thing?" Xiang Liang was a little surprised when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment before he said: "Although the violent Qin was defeated today, it did not hurt its vitality, and its strength should still be more than double ours, how could it choose a deep ditch and a high fortress to continue to strengthen the camp defense?" Yu'er, Kang'er, what do you think? Yu'er, you speak first. ”

To Xiang Kang's surprise, Xiang Yu, his well-developed lobby brother, actually saw this matter quite thoroughly, and immediately said: "Back to my uncle, from what my little nephew can see, Zhang Handpifu is just deliberately showing weakness, wanting us to feel that he is already afraid of us, and he doesn't dare to confront us head-on, so that we can take it lightly and show our flaws, and then highlight the surprise soldier and kill us by surprise." ”

Xiang Liang remained silent, turned to Xiang Kang and asked, "Kang'er, what do you think?" ”

"The little nephew's opinion is completely the same as that of the elder brother, Zhang Han must be deliberately showing weakness." Xiang Kang replied: "This is also his usual method, during the Battle of Linji, he deliberately deceived the defeat, deliberately allowed the Qi State rescue army to merge with the Wei army, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the Wei Qi army's negligence after the successful meeting, launched a surprise attack at night, and broke the Wei Qi coalition army in one fell swoop. ”

Seeing that the two most competitive nephews had made correct judgments, Xiang Liang nodded with great satisfaction, and then said, "Then how do you think we should deal with it?" Yu'er, you still say it first. ”

"Respond to change with the same." Xiang Yu replied decently, and said: "Stick to the camp, be careful, take the right and strange victory of the soldiers, hold the draw first, and when Zhang Handpifu can't hold his breath and make a move, we will adapt to the situation and break the enemy with the momentum of thunder." ”

"Kang'er, what's your coping strategy?" Xiang Liang was obviously testing his two most proud nephews, and without asking others, he directly asked Xiang Kang.

After looking at Old Man Fan and Ji Bu, who were inconsistent with his own characters, Xiang Kang was a little hesitant, but still said: "The little nephew thinks that he should plan according to the situation, and take advantage of the situation, and design Zhang Han in the past, so that he feels that our army has neglected to take precautions, and lures him to take the initiative to send troops to attack our army, take the opportunity to arrange an ambush, and severely damage his surprising soldiers." ”

"Brother, why are you here again?" Xiang Yu said very strangely: "Didn't Brother just say that in the future, we will fight hard battles and evil battles, and we don't need to think about winning by surprise at every turn?" ”

"Brother, this is my habit of little brother." Xiang Kang smiled bitterly and said: "And the junior brother thinks that it is more beneficial for us to do this, Zhang Han likes to seek stability with soldiers, and especially does not like to divide troops, which shows that he is not good at chaotic battles, if we can use his mind to win by surprise and lure him into chaotic battles, then Zhang Han will inevitably be difficult to deal with, and we can also use the minimum price to get the greatest victory." ”

After that, unwilling to have an argument with Xiang Yu, Xiang Kang hurriedly threw the ball to Xiang Liang and asked Xiang Liang: "Second uncle, what do you think of the little nephew's strategy?" ”

Quietly and carefully looking at Xiang Yu and Xiang Kang, Xiang Liang suddenly showed a relieved smile and said, "Kang'er, your strategy is good. Yu'er, your strategy is also right. Both of you are very satisfying to me, and you are both children of our Xiang family, our Xiang family can emerge from these two rising stars, uncle, I am very happy, and our Xiang family is also expected to recover. ”

After that, Xiang Liang turned to Xiang Yu again and said, "Yu'er, don't blame your brother for blindly using strange, he can't help it." When he raised his troops, he was not only isolated and helpless, but also surrounded by strong enemies, and the situation was far worse than when we raised troops in Jiangdong. And he is also quite right, as long as we have the opportunity, we should win the maximum at the lowest cost, so that it is more beneficial to us. ”

Then, Xiang Liang said to Xiang Kang again: "Kang'er, you can't be proud, you should also learn more from your brother's courage to attack, and dare to face the enemy head-on." Blindly just want to win by surprise, if you occasionally miscalculate, the consequences will be unpredictable, understand? ”

Xiang Kang hurriedly respectfully accepted the teachings, and Xiang Yu also obediently accepted his uncle's teachings, and then couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle, then whose strategy should we adopt to deal with the enemy?" It's mine? Or is it Adi's? ”

"Do you need to ask?" Xiang Liang smiled and said: "Zhang Handpifu deliberately paralyzed us, trying to win by surprise, if we don't seize the opportunity to plan and take the opportunity to give him a heavy one, wouldn't it be too sorry for his hard work?" ”

"That's it." Xiang Liang also said: "Starting tomorrow, we will be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, be careful on the inside, neglect precautions on the surface, and deliberately arrange some false impressions of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, lure Zhang Han to highlight surprise troops, and create fighters for us to break the enemy. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Kang of course breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he should not be discriminated against under Xiang Liang's account in the future, and if he had any correct opinions and suggestions, he was likely to be accepted by the reasonable second uncle of the hero. Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Old Man Fan, Li Shiqi and others next to him bowed their heads slightly, and said in their hearts: "If Xiang Liang can continue to be like this, listen to and accept, and let Xiang Yu and Xiang Kang, the two sons and nephews with outstanding civil and military skills, show their strengths, then Tyrannical Qin will lose." ”
