Volume 4 Chapter 463 - Life in the world, doing something and not doing something
After a big battle, the corpses under Xingtai City were scattered all over the field, and the broken halberds were all over the battlefield, filled with the smell of blood.
Liu Che stationed the military camp on a hillside three miles away from Xingtai. Less than half an hour after the end of the battle between the two armies, Liu Bang arrived with a large army and surrounded Xingtai City in all directions.
Inside the city of Xingtai.
Everyone is gathering in the hall to discuss how to defeat the enemy. Among them, the most anxious is Cao Cao, who was murdered in the "old nest".
Xiang Yu sat above, looking at the people arguing below with some boredom.
"Your Majesty, now we are on par with the Han army, otherwise we will open up and fight with Liu Bang!" Jibu was the first to give up.
"General Ji is right! Why don't we take this opportunity to settle the old accounts with Liu Bang's new accounts! Avenge the brother who died back then!" Hearing this, Yu Ziqi clenched his fists and his face was full of anger.
The generals are all temperamental, and when they heard the words of Ji Bu and Yu Ziqi, they all stood up and asked for battle. Even Tan Daoji, who has always been steady, also stood up.
"Alright, generals, get up first! Rest assured, fight! I'm going to fight! Enmity! I will definitely report it! It's just not the time yet!" Xiang Yu was sitting.
"This ......" The generals below heard this and began to discuss it again.
"Alright, it's been a day of fighting! You're all tired, so let's go down and recharge your batteries! General Gao, you stay, I have something to ask you!"
Seeing that Xiang Yu had made up his mind, the generals had to withdraw from the hall. Only Gao Aocao remained.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter with the summoning general?" Gao Aocao asked alone.
"Come with me, I have something to tell you!" Xiang Yu said, and led Gao Aocao into the backyard.
…………
Qinghe.
As the night fell, the two sides Mingjin withdrew their troops and fought for half a day, and the battlefield gradually subsided.
"Yikes! Yikes! Yikes! ”
Under the light of a bend of moonlight, several crows listened to the corpses in the battlefield and let out a terrible cry.
Qinghedong, the camp of the Xu army.
Xu Huang and Xue Li were analyzing the battle during the day, and they were also discussing the next battle.
"General Xue, in today's battle, you and I have finally seen Han Xin's ability!"
"Yes! This man can defeat His Majesty under the wall, and he must not be underestimated, and today with 3,000 men and horses, he dares to cross the river and attack our army directly, and he is greatly admired! ”
"Hmmm! In the battle of Jingcheng that year, he broke the 200,000 Zhao army with 30,000 horses, and this record is no one else except for His Majesty who can compare with him! Xu Huang nodded solemnly.
"It's a pity that we only have 10,000 horses, otherwise I would really want to have a good fight with him!" Xue Li was a little indignant.
"Hahaha, Brother Xue, don't worry, I believe there will be a chance eventually! What we have to do now is to block Han Xin in Qinghe as much as possible, and find a way to seize the counties on the other side with him, so that our army's grain and grass can be transported in! Brother Xue, what do you think about this? ”
When Xue Li heard Xu Huang's inquiry, he also stabilized his mind and said, "Now we are across the river from it!" And its superiority in strength greatly exceeds ours, Hexi, he must have a huge advantage. In my opinion, it is better for us to retreat into advance, divide the troops into two routes, advance from Wuyi, attack the Bohai Sea, use the Bohai Sea as a springboard, and then attack the plains, stretch the battle line, and decompose its strength advantage! ”
Xu Huang listened to Xue Li's strategy, and couldn't help but nod and said: "This plan is feasible, but if you and I divide our troops into two ways, I am afraid that Han Xin will directly cross the Qinghe River and approach Xingtai when the time comes, then Your Majesty will be in danger!" ”
Xue Li smiled when he heard this: "General Xu is too worried! You only need to give 2,000 soldiers and horses, and turn him upside down in the vicinity of Jinan! ”
"Two thousand soldiers?! It's too dangerous! If Han Xin is caught, I'm afraid of ......."
"Brother Xu, in life, you have to do something and don't do anything! Besides, you and I are dignified seven-foot men, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Xue Li will break into him today! ”
When Xu Huang heard this, he couldn't help but get angry, and smashed his fist on the table with a bold punch: "!" Brother Xue! I believe in you! ”
