The morning sun appeared in the eastern sky, and the wisps of sunlight reflected on the faces of tens of thousands of young soldiers, and it was now the end of September.

The officers and men of the Han army stationed in the southern part of Nanzheng continued to drill every day, and according to the division of the Han army's troops, such as the commander, the chief, the dubo, the military candidate, the military commander, and the capital commander, the whole army was tightly organized.

This army is headed by Deng Yulong as the general, followed by Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Xu, Lu Huang four generals, and below there are Guan Ying, Kong Ju, Chen He, Chai Wu, Xi Juan, Worm Da, Fan Mu, Jin She, Fu Kuan, Li Shang and other generals.

The dull and huge sound of drums pierced the silence of the sky, the sleeping birds in the nearby forest were startled, and the sound of horns, horses' hooves, footsteps, armor rubbing, and the sound of swords and guns were constantly intertwined on the training ground, like heavy trees, hitting the earth, the momentum was incomparable, and the phalanxes of different arms were conducting various trainings.

Most of this team are young and middle-aged, not only the veterans brought by Liu Bang in the Kanto region, but also the recruits recruited in Bashu, Hanzhong.

Halberders, shield bearers, archers, pikemen and other troops, with neat footwork and striking skills, the armor is strong, strong and powerful, quite a warrior's murderous aura!

On this day, because Liu Bang and Xiao He were going to come to inspect, Deng Yulong specially took the two of them to visit various training grounds and explain at the same time. He looked at the various phalanxes on the training ground and showed a slight smile, which were the results of his own efforts.

These training methods, various battle formations, and tactics originated from Deng Yulong's familiar military books in modern times, as well as full discussions with those ancient military fans, and then through his own integration and innovation, he created a new method of military training.

While training his soldiers, Deng Yulong was also diligent in exercising his physical fitness and practicing various combat skills in ancient times.

Liu Bang next to him said: "General, the army is well-trained and progressing day by day, it seems that our Han army is close to the elite division, it's time to lead the troops out of Guanzhong, capture Zhang Han Sima Xin alive, defeat Xiang Yu, and be ashamed." ”

Witnessing such a prosperous military appearance today, I feel that appointing Deng Yulong as a general should be the right choice, Xiao He and Zhang Liang are not wrong. Next, it's time to test Deng Yulong's military command ability, he has been holding back in Hanzhong for several months, and he is depressed enough, hoping to get out of Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Deng Yulong smiled lightly: "For the way of the general, we must conform to the law, seize the opportunity, and conform to the will of the people to win." If it is in line with the law and people's hearts, but the time is not ripe, it is against the opportunity; If it is in line with the timing and the will of the people but not in accordance with the law, it is against the way of heaven; If it is in accordance with the law and the time but not in line with the people's will, it is against the will of the people. ”

Liu Bang said: "At present, the Han army has been successfully trained, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has reserved enough grain and grass, the generals of the Han army want to kill out of Guanzhong, and the people in Guanzhong hope that our Han army will go north and destroy Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng, the time should be ripe to send troops, right?" ”

Liu Bang was a little anxious, he had been aggrieved for eight months, and he couldn't wait to get out of Guanzhong immediately.

Immediately, he thought of another factor and said: "We sent troops to Guanzhong, Xiang Yu will be furious when he knows it, if he leads the troops to come, it will be difficult for us to do it." ”

Although Liu Bang is a little lazy, but people are still relatively shrewd, before going south to Guanzhong, Deng Yulong and Zhang Liang both told him about this factor, he can't forget such a strategic event, just now he was just anxious.

Xiao He said: "Yes, we are ready, but I don't know if the time is ripe." ”

Deng Yulong said: "The time has come. ”

Liu Bang said: "The timing that the ovary told you means that there are princes and kings who rebel, and they will drag Xiang Yu first to win time for my Han to seize Guanzhong." But we're stuck here, we're shut down, and we don't know what's changed in the past few months. ”

Since the burning of the plank road, the entire Han Kingdom has completely lost contact with the outside world, like a closed small kingdom, except for the original grain and grass baggage, all food materials must be produced independently.

Guanzhong and Bashu, although located in the middle of nowhere, have been developed by the Qin State for hundreds of years, there is known as the land of abundance in the Chengdu Plain for grain planting, iron ore can also meet their own needs, other living and military necessities, most of them can be manufactured, and they can be self-sufficient for the time being.

Deng Yulong said: "King Han, please come with your ministers, there will be an answer soon." ”

took Liu Bang and Xiao He into the camp and came to a tent, where the halberd was specially guarded, and Deng Yulong ordered someone to escort the pockmarked man to the tent.

After the three of them came in, Deng Yulong pointed to the pock-faced man and said to Liu Bang: "This person is a spy assigned by Zhang Han to lurk in Hanzhong. ”

Liu Bang and Xiao He were all happy, and praised Deng Yulong for doing a really meticulous job.

Deng Yulong shouted to the pock-faced man: "Repeat your confession to General Ben yesterday." ”

The pock-faced man looked panicked and did so.

It turned out that after Xiang Yu divided the princes at the beginning of the year, Zhang Han selected four intelligence officers, and before Liu Bang set off, he came to Nanzheng through the Baochuan Road and bought a Xinglong inn in the city.

There is a clear division of labor among the four people, and three of them are inquiring about the news in different ways, the pock-faced man is named Qin Fapi, who is specially to pass the news to Zhang Han in Guanzhong, and before yesterday, he had passed the news to Zhang Han four times.

Deng Yulong said coldly: "What else? ”

Qin Fapi said: "The last time I went to Guanzhong, I heard that Tian Rong of Qi rebelled and established himself as the king of Qi, and Xiang Yu personally led a large army to crusade against Tian Rong. ”

Deng Yulong was familiar with the history of the Chu and Han dynasties, and in July 206 BC, Tian Rong rebelled, and Xiang Yu personally led an army to defeat Tian Rong.

But after all, it was only the original history, and he traveled to historical time and space, and there was a possibility that the original historical trajectory would change, so he tried to find a way to find the spies, not only to confirm whether Tian Rong had really rebelled, but also to eliminate the enemy spies, and avoid reporting the dispatch of troops from Chen Cangdao to Zhang Han in advance.

"General, you did a good job!"

Liu Bang laughed loudly, laughing very heartily, the time was ripe to send troops, and he was about to be able to get out of Hanzhong.

Xiao He said: "At the beginning of the canonization of the general, there were still many soldiers who were not convinced, and everyone saw the changes in the Han army in the past few months. Now, the spies have been dug up again to understand what is happening outside. King Han, the great general you personally canonized is well deserved. ”

Liu Bang said: "It's too early to say this. Although the time is ripe to send troops, we still have to see if you can lead the three armies to kill and capture the entire Guanzhong, general. ”

Xiao He said: "The grain and grass materials needed for the expedition have been prepared, and it depends on the general." ”

Deng Yulong said: "King Han, the minister's side is almost ready, and he can go out in a few days." Before setting out on the expedition, you must first eradicate the three spies in the city. ”
