Chapter 12 - The Theory of Terrain, Killing with a Knife

However, the Chu army at this time. has come to the ambush location that Xiang Yu had planned. Start preparing actively.

I saw that there were green hills on both sides of the terrain, and there was only one trail between the two mountains for the troops to march.

Even after Li Wen saw it, he was full of praise and said: "This place is definitely a good place for ambushes!" ”

But Xiang Yu just smiled, and then ordered people to cut down trees and move stones.

At this time, Xiang Yu turned his head and said to Yu Ji beside him: "How is it?" Yu Ji, are you tired? ”

"To be able to accompany the king, the concubines are not tired." Yu Ji helped Xiang Yu wipe the sweat from his forehead and said.

"That's good, when the war begins, you can stay away from it, so as not to be hit by the arrow and get hurt."

"Alright, I'm going to help the soldiers prepare the rolling stone and wood. You have a good rest, it will take a lot of physical strength to wait. Xiang Yu said, and immediately went to the woods to prepare rolling stones and sassalwood with the soldiers of the Chu army.

Yu Ji looked at Xiang Yu's back, and felt that Xiang Yu in front of her seemed to have really changed. is no longer the Xiang Yu who can only fight and kill all day long, but has become more mature and can use stratagems! The most important thing is that I have learned to care about my soldiers and the people around me!

At this time, Xiang Yu didn't know that Yu Ji was looking at his back with affection, but was hurriedly preparing weapons for ambush.

It can be said that the beauty has affectionate eyes, and the hero is busy.

………………

At this time, Han Xin's pursuing army had already crossed the Huaishui. However, the two rivals got together again!

"King Qi, King Qi, you wait for me, I'll discuss something with you." Yingbu's voice rang out behind him.

"Huh? What's wrong? Han Xin asked impatiently.

"King Qi, you see that we are pursuing the Chu army together, but I am not as good as you in terms of troops, so if I am not as good as my army, I will temporarily hand it over to you for command, how about it?" I only listened to Yingbu's pleading face.

"Oh?" Hearing Yingbu's words, Han Xin touched his chin.

"Really, King Qi, I was wrong before, but now I understand, your King Qi is really the best in the world in using soldiers! This time the pursuit of Xiang Yu was successful, and when I went back, I formed an eight-worship friendship with you, the king of Qi. How is it? Yingbu saw that Han Xin was still hesitating and continued to flatter.

"Oh well! Let your troops keep up, we will pursue Xiang Yu together, and the chances of success will be greater. After hearing this, Han Xin agreed.

Afterwards, Yingbu retreated in his heart and returned to the army full of joy, letting the troops follow Han Shin's army.

………………

"Report!"

"Say." Xiang Yu, who was sitting under the tree, said.

At this moment, the Chu army ambushed on the road had already prepared the rolling stones and sassa wood, just waiting for the arrival of the Han army.

"Report to the king, the pursuing Han army is less than ten miles away from here!"

"Great! Inform the soldiers and prepare for war! Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard that the Han army was less than ten miles away from his ambush location.

…………

"General, look! It's Chu Jun! The subordinate next to Han Xin pointed to the mountain downhill.

Han Xin looked along the place pointed by his generals, and saw that under the mountain, a small Chu army was marching at a rapid pace. There were also a pair of luxurious carriages guarding in the middle.

"Quick! Pass my orders, pursue! Han Xin ordered excitedly.

When the general was about to go to the execution, Han Xin suddenly stopped the general: "By the way, you asked someone to inform Yingbu, and said that Xiang Yu's wife, Yu Ji, was found earlier." ”

"This ...... General, why is that? The general asked with a puzzled expression.

"Just do it, don't ask so much."

Seeing Han Xin's unhappy face, the general had no choice but to ask someone to go and inform Yingbu.

At this time, the general thought in his heart: "Is this general stupid?" Even if you can't catch Xiang Yu and catch a Yu Ji, it's a great achievement! Why do you want this villain to know? ”

…………

"What? You mean, Han Xin asked someone to inform him? Yingbu, who got the news at this time, asked the scout with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, that's what the soldier said." The scout replied respectfully.

"I see, you go down." Yingbu waved his hand.

At this time, Yingbu was thinking in his heart: "Could it be that this Han Xin really believes in himself?" Actually told himself such an important thing. Aren't you afraid that you will take credit from him? ”

"However, even if Han Xin is just testing himself, he Han Xin doesn't dare to do too much!"

Yingbu thought about it, and then got on his horse and rushed to the front army to find Han Xin.

When Han Xin saw Yingbu coming, he also greeted him with a smile: "Brother Yingbu, what are you looking for me?" ”

I saw Yingbu immediately dismount and kneel down and said, "Brother Han Xin! I apologize to you here!" Say that, kowtow immediately.

When Han Xin saw it, he hurriedly dismounted and helped Ying Bu up: "Oops! What did the King of Jiujiang say! It's not so serious, it's over! ”

"Hey! I'm ashamed! Yingbu said, squeezing tears out of her eyes.

"Alas! Brother Yingbu, you see there are two roads in front, the one on the right can go directly to Shouchun, and the one in front has to be detoured, but Xiang Yu's wife's carriage travels from here. Brother Yingbu, I think we should divide the army into two ways. Look, which one do you choose? Han Xin said sincerely.

"Oh?" Yingbu touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "I'll go after Yu Ji!" Xiang Yu will bother you!"

"Okay, then don't leave it here, and ask Brother Yingbu to speed up, be sure to catch up with Yu Ji!" Han Xin said that, immediately got on his horse and walked towards the trail with his soldiers.

At this time, Yingbu looked at the departing Han Xin, and his heart was itching with hatred.

"It turns out that this kid is planning to take a lot of credit for himself! Disgusting! That's it, that's it. Anyway, sooner or later, this kid will die! I'll put up with it for now! ”

Immediately, he ordered the army to pursue Yu Ji's carriage along the main road.

…………

"That's it! Command the brethren to rest where they are! Han Xin instructed the lieutenant general beside him.

"Huh? General, aren't we going to pursue Xiang Yu from this road? The adjutant general asked confusedly in the face of Han Xin's order.

"Do you really believe what I said?! I'm just lying to Yingbu! This road can't reach Shouchun City at all! Han Xin patiently explained at this time.

"Then, why did the general lie to Yingbu?"

"Let me ask you, a person who usually intrigues with you and is incompatible with water and fire, suddenly treats you with respect, what do you think this person is at ease?"

"It must be a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to the chickens - uneasy and kind!" The adjutant general faced Han Xin's question and replied without thinking.

"Then what do you think about Yingbu's relationship with me on weekdays?"

"Of course this is......... General, are you saying that he Yingbu wants to plot against you? The general suddenly realized.

"Hmmm! I've finally gotten the hang of it!" Han Xin praised with a smile.

"But why did the general give up this Yu Ji's attack to him Yingbu?"

"Hahahaha! Let me ask you, did you just look at the terrain ahead? When Han Xin heard this, he laughed heartily and asked the general.

"This, the villain just noticed the Chu army, and didn't pay attention to the terrain ahead, and asked the general to give advice." Speaking of which, the general also humbly asked Han Xin for advice.

"Behold, there is a mountain ahead of you, and there is only a trail in between, and there are high mountains on both sides. It's easy for the army to get in, but it's hard to get out! This kind of terrain is called in the art of war - dangerous shape! Han Xin patiently explained.

"To fight in such a place, our army must first occupy the high ground and take it above. If the enemy occupies the high ground first, then our troops must take the initiative to withdraw and not engage the enemy. Then lure the enemy out and defeat the enemy. ”

"Oh? Is the general saying that the Chu army will ambush here? The ministry general continued to ask in the face of Han Xin's answer.

Han Xin continued: "Yes! Think about it, that Yu Ji is Xiang Yu's favorite person, will Xiang Yu leave her alone and run for her life? I guess Xiang Yu was lured by the carriage and wanted to let our army take the bait. Wait for us to pursue into the valley, and then attack from above to annihilate our army! ”

"If you don't believe you and look at it, the Jiujiang army will inevitably be killed and wounded. At that time, our army will attack the Chu army again, and we will definitely be able to take Xiang Yu! Didn't he want to seek me? Then don't blame me for borrowing a knife to kill someone!"
