Chapter 409: Zhang Cang led the army to attack Xingyang

Ji Bu and the others were pondering, and suddenly saw Xiang Yu furious, knowing that the Qi State had been captured by Han Xin, but now sending troops to the Qi State would inevitably outweigh the losses.

Seeing this, Zhou Lan next to him first got up and said: "King Qiyu, the two kings of Yingbu and Liu Bang are eyeing each other in the southwest, if they send troops, I am afraid that Pengcheng will be difficult to protect himself, and I hope that the king will think twice." ”

"Yes, we can send a general to rescue us today, and we should go to Chenggao or Chaoge to occupy an important town, so that we can cut off Han Xin and Liu Bang's army." Ji Bu said quite seriously.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he just muttered, the overlord had never lost a battle in his life, and the only few times he was given by Han Xin, he was naturally indignant in his heart, and wanted to compete with him, but although there were no internal worries at the moment, there were external troubles, and he could not make mistakes easily.

Therefore, he had to follow Ji Bu's advice and send Long to Qi to support, as for Xiang Yu, he sent troops to Chenggao, after all, Peng Yue near Chaoge was not as valuable as Liu Bang of Chenggao.

Long and sent troops without mentioning, and said that Lu Yan ran all the way from Linzi, and finally arrived in Liyang, Xiao He learned of this, and immediately told Liu Bang, Chen Ping heard that he immediately rode a horse to visit Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's newly built mansion is next to the ancestral hall of Lu's mother, and there are few people who usually come and go, only Zhang Wen'er and a few maids are here.

Today's chaos is chaotic, where can Lu Yan take care of his children's affection, and he rarely comes back, and it is reasonable for Zhang Wener to have mixed feelings when he suddenly appeared today.

When Lu Yan learned that he had a child, he immediately entered the house to watch, a son and a daughter were lying on the bed, and two maids were waiting, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Zhang Wen'er immediately stepped forward to support the two maids, "Ziyu, come forward and hug it, and take the name Nazi by the way." With that, he carefully stepped forward to tidy up the child's clothes.

Lu Yan was very happy in his heart, but because he had not taken care of the child, he had to watch it very carefully from the side, "I didn't expect that I, Lu Ziyu, also have children, and I am worthy of my ancestors." ”

"Don't say these words, come forward and hug your eldest son." Zhang Wen'er said and put Lu Yan's hand on his son's face.

"Since my father has returned from Linzi, let's help you brothers and sisters come up with a name." Lu Yan said happily, and at the same time held his eldest son in his arms.

Looking back on the past ten years, Lu Yan was really full of emotion, what about the extremely popular ministers in the officialdom? What did Jun Duchen do, and in the next ten years, he was just like Zhang Liang.

"Yuan Yuan Yunyun, all are ordinary, this son is called Lu Yuan, this woman is called Lu Yun, no matter what happens in the future, learn more poetry and books, know etiquette, and don't seek fame through the ages." Lu Yan said slowly.

Zhang Wen'er immediately hugged her daughter beside her, "My brother's name is Lu Yuan, my daughter's name is Lu Yun, my brother and sister can study poetry and books well in the future, and you must not disappoint your father." ”

"By the way, Ziyu, Lu Yuan hasn't inscribed yet, let's say it together." Zhang Wen'er reacted immediately.

Lu Yan bowed slightly, "Yuan Yuan is ordinary, how good the words are, and he admires Xiao Xiangguo and Brother Zifang, what does Wen'er think?" ”

Zhang Wen'er read in pieces beside him: "Lu Yuanzi He Liang, this is not a name for Xiangguo and the military advisor." ”

"This doesn't matter, even if they know, they will understand me, and besides, they haven't usurped the throne, so they can't talk about committing a crime, Wen'er don't worry." Lu Yan said with a little comfort.

After Lu Yan returned to Liyang, before he could rest for a few days, he was called by Xiao He to sort out the grain, for the word He Liang, Xiao He just felt that he should not put himself in front, he should be headed by the military division, and he didn't care about anything else.

Lu Yan was sorting out the account books in the mansion that day, but he didn't expect Chen Ping to come from Chenggao to ask for a meeting, his face looked quite tired, Lu Yan saw this, immediately prepared tea, and invited him into the mansion to discuss matters.

In the living room, the two sat opposite each other, Chen Ping took a sip of tea, and then slowly spoke: "Master Hou is going to Qi State, I think it is more auspicious than lucky, but it is a pity for Li Sheng." ”

"Could it be that Mr. came so far to tell me about this matter, what Han Xin did was really unjust, but if there is no Han Xin, the world will be uncertain, and Mr. can't touch him at this time." Lu Yan looked at Chen Ping and said, as if he understood what he meant.

"Master Hou, you will only promote Han Xin's arrogance like this, causing him to have an accident sooner or later, King Han was also shocked when he heard that Li Sheng was killed, how can he not write down this matter." Chen Ping also said slowly.

After hearing this, Lu Yan also fell into deep thought, "Sir, isn't it because Han Xin is neglecting me, so he dislikes Han Xin?" But you really can't do it now, so let's see later. ”

"Today, Qi and Zhao Yan are all equal, if Han Xin can defeat the dragon, the princes of the three roads will fight Xingyang, and the overlord will be destroyed, and then Han Xingong will be the master, and he will be brave enough to defeat the three armies, I am afraid that even the gods will not be able to protect him." Chen Ping said with some disdain.

"Sir, don't complain, I'm afraid it's not just about Han Xin's matter to come here today, is it that my brother has something to explain in Chenggao, and let Mr. bring it." Lu Yan asked with a pretended doubt.

Chen Ping bowed slightly, "That's right, the king asked me to ask you to go back, today I have already obtained the second, as long as I destroy the overlord of Chu, I can pacify the Central Plains, and then I can be rewarded for my meritorious deeds." ”

Lu Yan took a slight sip of warm tea, and his eyes changed slightly, "With you and the military advisor, why should Ziyu go, besides, in recent days, his body is tired and it is difficult to travel." ”

"Master Hou, don't say this, could it be that you still keep Xu Junfang's words in mind? How can he know the fate of the Hou Ye, or hurry up with a certain time to help the king abbot in the overall situation. Chen Ping said slowly.

Lu Yan couldn't refuse, so he had to arrange everything and go to Chenggao with Chen Ping, and at this time Zhang Cang had already sent troops to Xingyang, preparing to take the opportunity to take Xingyang.

Today's Xingyang belongs to Chu, and is garrisoned by Xiang Yu's general Huan Chu, with 10,000 soldiers, although Zhang Cang belongs to a civilian official, he knows quite well about the art of war.

At that time, Zhang Cang led 5,000 troops, quite vast, without any cover-up, and marched towards Xingyang, while Xiahou Ying led 15,000 troops, slowly moving forward in the rear.

In the city of Xingyang, Huan Chu heard that the Han army came to attack the city, with only 5,000 men and horses, it was inevitable that some light enemies, Zhang Cang led the troops to the city, Huan Chu directly opened the city to meet the battle.

The two armies fought, Huan Chu held a halberd in his hand, and immediately shouted at Zhang Cang: "Is there no one in the Han army?" You and other veterans were sent out? ”

Zhang Cang sneered slightly when he heard this: "You are just a little thief, how can you allow others to go out, and the old man can capture you alive!" ”

"Tell the word!" Huan Chu said, immediately rode a horse to Zhang Cang, Zhang Cang was not afraid at all, holding a spear and a horse against the enemy, the two fought for thirty rounds, and there was no winner or loser.

Huan Chu also began to look at Zhang Cang, holding the halberd tightly in his hand, and stabbed towards Zhang Cang's face door very decisively, Zhang Cang rode his horse slightly, dodged the attack, left-handed with the gun, and said that Huan Chu's halberd was thrown backwards, and Huan Chu almost fell off his horse.
