Outside Pengcheng, the Chu army camp.

Xiang Yu looked at the secret letter sent by Li Wen in his hand, and couldn't help frowning. After reading the letter, Liu Bowen on the side also felt extremely tricky.

After reading the letter, Xiang Yu personally drafted a secret letter and asked the messenger who came to deliver the letter to return it to Li Wen, and also gave him fifty taels of silver as a reward.

After the envoy left, Xiang Yu consulted with Liu Bowen.

"How's that for good? General Qin's troops were defeated by Hong Ze. ”

"My lord, is this letter credible?" Liu Bowen said with a frown.

Xiang Yu nodded: "Credible, this person is an old friend of mine!"

"Alas, so far, we can only avoid its edge, temporarily retreat from the Qi army, if we are really surrounded, with our current men, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Qi army."

Just as the two were talking, the guards outside the door suddenly came to report: Wei Chigong came with soldiers and horses and was waiting outside the camp gate.

When Xiang Yu and the others heard this, they immediately went out to greet them in person.

When I arrived at the camp gate, I saw that Wei Chigong, who was like "black charcoal", had already dismounted and was waiting in place. Xu Maogong stood aside, the fan in his hand slowly stirred, looking like a fairy wind bone.

As soon as the two saw Xiang Yu coming, they immediately bowed to see Xiang Yu.

"Hahaha! General Wei Chi, Xu Junshi! Hurry up, please!

What do you think? Presumably the two of them have successfully won Xiapi, right? Xiang Yu asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's nature, king, aren't you at ease with my errand?" Yu Chigong was rough and laughed uncontrollably while patting his chest.

"Hahaha, you kid is still so arrogant! Quick, enter the camp first, and wait for me to prepare the food and drinks, and treat you!"

"Good!"

After entering the camp, Wei Chigong smiled and told Xiang Yu how he and Xu Maogong took down Xiapi.

After everyone listened, they teased for a while before Xiang Yu said the right thing.

"Alas, it's a good thing that General Wei Chi has occupied Xiapi, but now there is bad news from the front, General Qin has lost his troops, and there has been no news so far, and I don't know what the situation is!"

"What? Lao Qin, he was defeated? When did the king learn? Wei Chigong, who was originally overjoyed, immediately put down the wine glass in his hand when he heard that Qin Qiong had an accident, looking anxious.

"Well, I just got the news. Now Han Xin led his troops to make a detour, and Yuan Shao, the great Sima of the Qi army, also led his troops from Hongze, intending to combine the three roads and surround our army to death in Pengcheng!" Xiang Yu sighed.

When the people who were active before heard this, they all lowered their voices.

"And what is the king going to do next?" After a long time, Xu Mao asked openly.

"No, I've just discussed this with Berwyn, and I haven't come up with a solution yet! But it's a good thing you're here. ”

"It's a little tricky! If General Qin is completely annihilated, I am afraid that the Qi army will gather no less than 50,000 people towards Pengcheng this time. Xu Maogong said immediately.

"Two, I wonder how many soldiers and horses you brought this time?"

"King, this time the two of us only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the others are stationed in Xiapi and Xiaopei." Wei Chigong immediately replied truthfully.

"If you say this, then the total number of our soldiers and horses will not exceed 15,000, and in the face of 50,000 Qi troops, I am afraid that I will have more than enough heart and not enough strength!" Liu Bowen listened to Wei Chigong's words, and his face became even more ugly.

"Humph! Isn't it a threefold difference? What to fear! Now the information is in our hands, and the initiative is ours!

Since he Han Xin wants to besiege us, then we will do what we want! Now the Qi army doesn't know what you're waiting for! We can strike first!" Xiang Yu immediately clenched his fists and said.

"Wei Chigong, Xu Maogong listens to the order!"

"In!"

"This king ordered you to take your troops and horses to Yongbin Mountain to ambush and block the Qi army led by Han Xin!"

"Yes!"

At this time, the two of them were already full of wine and food, and after receiving the order, they immediately went to the military camp to gather the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and went to Yongbin Mountain.

…………

At this time, Han Xin led his subordinates all the way over the mountains and mountains, and had arrived at Zengwang Mountain, which was only a hundred miles away from Pengcheng, and was camping on Zengwang Mountain at this time for rest.

After three days of running, the Qi soldiers were already exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted, and they had reached the point where they fell asleep.

Inside Han Xin's big tent, the lights were still bright at this time. At this time, Han Xin was sitting on the sand table on the ground. secretly calculated in his heart how to deal with the Chu army.

At this moment, a scout rushed into the account from outside the camp and handed Yuan Shao's letter to Han Xin for review.

After reading it, Han Xin went to the sand table to take a look, and immediately said with great joy: "Okay!" Yuan Shao's surprise this time will definitely be able to encircle and annihilate all the Chu army! The revenge of the previous army and the killing of the generals can be avenged!"

"Come on, bring Yan Liang for me!" After Han Xin was overjoyed, he immediately thought of Yan Liang.

Since Yan Liang was defeated in Yingshui and returned to the Qi army camp, Han Xin was naturally furious, and immediately dismissed him from his position as a military commander and threw Yan Liang into a prisoner car.

Let it be exposed to the wind and sun all the way to hone its impatient mind and endurance.

Soon, Yan Liang, who was dressed in prison clothes, shackled hands and feet, and had a disheveled cape, was taken to the tent.

Han Xin looked at Yan Liang below and said, "Yan Liang! You are convicted!"

"The king, the minister is guilty!" Yan Liang immediately bowed.

"Humph! You violated our military order, because of private abolition, and led troops to fight with the Chu army without authorization, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army of 5,000 men and horses, and this king should behead you according to the military law in the army!

But now this king is really employing people! You should be glad you died! Now this king has given you a chance to make meritorious contributions, can you accept it?!"

"The king, a certain willingness, as long as the king can give Yan Liang this opportunity, Yan Liang is willing to make meritorious service for his crimes in order to repay the king's kindness!" When Yan Liang heard that there was still a chance to live, he immediately bowed to the ground.

"Good! I ordered you to take 10,000 horses as the vanguard, open the way in front of our army, and take Xiangxian before noon tomorrow, so that our army can rest and recuperate!"

"Yan Liangding will not insult the king's order!"

Seeing this, Han Xin immediately asked people to untie the shackles of his teaching, and brought Yan Liang's original battle armor for him to change into, and prepared a good banquet on the table, after he was full of wine and food. Only then did he go to the army to point troops and set off.

When he set off, Yan Liang also made a military order and said that he would not miss this time, and if he missed, he would definitely come to see him.

Seeing this, Han Xin naturally let Yan Liang go with confidence. The next day, he took the main force and marched towards Xiangxian.
