Chapter 353 - Delay Time, Master of Beast Taming.
Lu County.
After three consecutive days of fierce attacks, there were a lot of dead bodies under the city, both from the Chu army and from the Qi army.
After the heavy rain washed away, all the blood stains were taken away, leaving behind only the corpses of the dead soldiers, armor, and swords.
In three days, the Chu army lost more than 2,000 people, and the Qi army, as the defender, did not have any advantage. The continuous combat made the garrison Qi army boring and weak.
After three days, the Qi army in the city not only suffered heavy losses, but also the grain and grass in the city were almost bottomed out. And Li Zuoche and Yuan Shao have not returned for a long time, which makes Han Xin inevitably a little worried.
"Report! King Qiqi, the military advisor has arrived in the city with grain and grass!"
Looking at the happy soldiers in front of him, Han Xin's eyes also flashed.
"Good! Fast! Take me there!"
Accompanied by the soldiers, Han Xin came to the city and saw carts full of grain and grass coming towards the city. Looking at so much grain and grass, the sorrow in Han's confidence was also a little less.
Li Zuoche heard that Han Xin was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit. After the two exchanged pleasantries, they handed over the matter of transporting grain into the warehouse to the deputy general, and the two went to the county guard mansion together.
After arriving in the house, the elated Han Xin ordered someone to pour tea for Li Zuoche, and the two gentlemen and ministers drank tea and talked about the war.
After Li Zuoche learned the news that Kuaitong left a letter and left away, he lamented a few times: "Everyone has their own ambitions, but it's a pity that Brother Kuai's talent is here!"
"Alright, let's not talk about it! Strategist, tell me about your harvest from your trip to Langxie! Han Xin waved his hand.
"Alright! Tell the king, this time I went to Langxie and got 150,000 stones of grain from my Li family, which can be said to be no loss or gain! ”
"Huh? 150,000 stones, so much grain, why does Mr. still say that he won't lose or earn? Han Xin said with questions.
"Alas! The king didn't know that the head of the Li family, who was also the uncle of the minister, Li Yuan, was not enough to swallow elephants, and he actually planned to raise troops in Langxi.
I exchanged these 150,000 stones of grain and grass for 2,000 soldiers and 1,000 pairs of armor, bows and arrows! Otherwise, I'm afraid that the minister will not receive anything this time! In vain!"
Han Xin sighed when he saw Li Zuoche, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sir, why sigh, stay in the green mountains and be afraid of no firewood." As long as the urgent need is solved first, these two thousand soldiers and horses will have a chance to get them back in the future!"
"The king is right! But this time, the minister also brought back an important news! Maybe we can break the enemy!"
When Han Xin heard this, his eyes flashed and said, "Oh? Sir, please speak quickly!"
"The king, the minister has a cousin named Li Shiming. This person has grown up with the minister since he was a child, and the minister sees him as alert, strategic, and ambitious!
When he delivered the grain and grass, the minister talked to him. The two of us have a dangerous plan, that is, to attack and fight by sea and land!"
As soon as Li Zuoche said this, Han Xin was shocked!
What the? Did you hear me right? Attack Huiji City? Please, I am still surrounded by Xiang Yu here, and I can't protect myself! Actually talking about attacking other people's capitals?
Although he thought so in his heart, Han Xin was also a person who knew soldiers, so he naturally would not be impetuous and open his mouth to deny it.
"What do you mean by this? Now that you and I are trapped in Lu County, how to hit the capital of Great Chu? ”
Seeing this, Li Zuoche immediately stepped forward and said: "The king doesn't know, Xiang Yu has already made ninety percent of his strength in the battle with the king this time. All the generals who can be used in the country have been dispatched, and the rest of the generals are also fighting in the four places.
At this time, Huiji City is the weakest! Although we are trapped here, we cannot advance or retreat. But the Li family can! I discussed with Li Shimin, and let the Li family soldiers divide into two ways, all the way in the name of the Li family's business, and infiltrate Huiji City with armor and swords.
The other way set off from the sea and went straight to Chudi. Sea and land go hand in hand, so that you can appear under the city of Huiji without knowing it!
When the time comes, Xiang Yu can't take care of each other at the end, and the army's morale will be in chaos and retreat without a fight! And Xiang Yu's family will also fall into the hands of Li Shimin! Our army can also take this opportunity to break the Chu army!"
When Han Xin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's a good plan to go out of the siege of Wei to save Zhao, take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack his unpreparedness! If this plan is successful, the military division will be famous all over the world! Han Xin laughed and looked at Lee's left lane.
"If this plan is successful, even if the Chu army is not disturbed, it will directly teach Xiang Yu to be heartbroken! The whole family has fallen into the hands of our army!" Li Zuoche has a confident mind.
"It's a good plan! But on the vast sea, things are uncertain, if something happens, even if a disguised soldier succeeds, I'm afraid it will be a life of death!"
When Li Zuoche heard this, he smiled and said, "Then it depends on the creation of my two cousins!" The next thing we have to do is to stall for time until the sneak attack is successful.
The king listened to Kuaitong's suggestion and took Zhong Liwu to Lu County, we can just calculate the plan and delay the time on the grounds of returning Zhong Liwu!
When the people of the world succeeded, that is, when the Chu army retreated! At that time, the king only needs to seize the opportunity and deal a fatal blow to the Chu army, and he can greatly damage Xiang Yu's vitality and turn things around!"
"Alright! Then we can only wait for the news from Jiangdong! Tell the order to go down, if anyone goes out of the city without permission, there will be no forgiveness!"
Han Xin, who had just recovered from a serious illness, only felt a lot more energetic when he heard about Li Zuoche's plan, and his whole body was relaxed. The only hope in the hearts of the two now is that Li Shimin's surprise attack can succeed!
…………
Jiuzhi Mountain in Guilin County, in the big tent of the Chu army, Meng Heng listened to the number of dead, which can be described as sad!
It turned out that Xiang Yu defeated the Sun-Liu coalition army in Dongting and returned to Huiji to hold a 100-day banquet. Li Shanchang personally rushed back to participate, and also brought news of the Qin army in the southwest.
When the Qin army heard that Xiang Yu had sent troops to Dongting, they had been preparing to move near Changsha County, launching tentative attacks from time to time.
After Xiang Yu learned about it, he immediately sent Zhao Yun and Li Shanchang to Changsha together. Tell Meng Heng directly, if the Qin army is not honest again, then go to war!
The Qin army heard that Zhao Yun had arrived in Changsha, and after being quiet for a while, he heard that Xiang Yu's troops had sent north to fight Han Xin. This is a chance for Qin Jun to seize! Even if he launched a surprise attack on Changsha County, fortunately, Meng Hui was cautious, and there were no other losses except for letting a few weaker checkpoints fall into.
This time the Qin army's sudden onslaught can be regarded as provoking Meng Heng! Even if Meng Heng sent troops to counterattack, he pulled out more than ten cities in less than half a month, and Shan Xiongxin, the general of the Qin army, was seriously injured by Zhao Yun and was almost killed! The Chu army marched all the way to Jiuzhi Mountain, the gateway of Guilin County and Nanhai County!
However, when attacking Jiuzhi Mountain, the Chu army finally encountered an opponent. Among the Qin army, a strange man with a height of nearly two zhang appeared, named Ju Buba. Not to mention that this giant can tame beasts, he also united with the leader of the alien tribe, the vulture bone, to help the Qin army in the battle.
With the two beast taming masters of Ju Wuba and Vulture Bone, when one or two armies are fighting, any fierce beast will appear on the battlefield, and cooperate with the Qin army to launch a fierce attack, with the cooperation of the fierce beast, the Qin army can be described as a tiger with wings. After several battles, Ahri made the Chu army suffer a lot of hardships and suffered heavy casualties, and was blocked at the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain for half a month, unable to move forward!
