Guan Ying had just begun to gather the Han army, and Fan Xu also rushed over from the mansion at this moment, and the two hurriedly ordered to gather about 5,000 soldiers, and each of them had a blank expression.

"General Fan, the outer Huangcheng has just broken down, why did the Chu army appear in Chen County overnight?" Guan Ying asked with some suspicion, and Fan Xu only scratched his head when he heard this.

"This time the siege of the city is Long, presumably the Chu army has already been ambushed, we will go to fight first, if we can't fight, we will abandon the city and return to Xingyang first, and then make a decision!" Fan Hao shouted a little loudly.

Guan Ying didn't say more, and immediately led the 5,000 Han army with Fan Hao to kill towards the West Gate, and Long He saw that Fan Hao and the others still had the courage to kill, so he just sneered and took the lead in riding his horse and rushing forward.

"Fan Xu's skin, dare to fight, turn against him as soon as possible, and leave your whole corpse!" Long He said quite sarcastically, Fan Xue listened, frowned slightly, and immediately stepped forward.

The dragon and the spear in hand, straight to the abdomen of Fan Xu, Fan Xu used a halberd, because of the hasty escape, the use of weapons and soldiers regardless of good or bad, seeing the dragon and the momentum is rapid, immediately out of the halberd block.

"Long and Xiao'er, don't be so proud, and see how you are cut off under the horse!" Fan Yanbei immediately hooked back the spear with his halberd, wanting to drag the dragon off the horse.

The dragon and the spear turned slightly, and did not quickly withdraw it, but stabbed forward, Fan Hao saw this, his heart was shocked, and he immediately threw the halberd to the left, only to dodge the fatal blow.

After the baby, seeing that Fan Xu seemed to be invincible, he hurriedly rode his horse to help Fan Xu block Long He's spear, and with Long He's order, the two armies fought fiercely in the city.

When the Chu army entered the city, it had already killed many Han troops, and the momentum was in full swing, and when they saw the Han army rushing towards them, there was not much fear at all, but the Han army, because of the problem of food, could not help but look yellow and thin.

The two armies fought until dawn, Fan Xu did not allow the retreat, just at this time, Ji Bu and Zhou Lan led the army from Waihuang to arrive, Guan Ying saw that the situation was critical, and immediately rode to Fan Xu.

"General Fan, the Chu army is strong today, and there are reinforcements, so it is better to withdraw to Xingyang, and then make a decision, such a death battle will only cause more casualties!" The baby was very anxious and said.

Fan Hao glanced ahead, and saw that the Chu army was used like ants, and he was also a little frightened in his heart, and hurriedly waved his flag to retreat from the east gate, and the Han army was more than 20,000 people, excluding the soldiers who were killed, surrendered, and fled, there were only less than 1,000 people.

The two collected the remnants of the army from the road, so that the army was gathered to 3,000 people, when Xiang Yu arrived in Chen County, Long and had already sorted out many matters, Xiang Yu stood on the city gate tower, and his heart was quite happy.

"Now Waihuang and Chen County are regained, only Xingyang, I want to see what Liu Bang is capable of!" Xiang Yu watched the rising sun and said with emotion.

The loss of Waihuang and Chen County was not mentioned, and it was said that when Fan Hao and Guan Ying led 3,000 soldiers to the outside of Xingyang City, the guards were all shocked and immediately went to the mansion to report to Liu Bang.

At this moment, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang were looking at the map in the north, as long as Han Xin took the Yan State and the Qi State, he could surround the Chu State, and seemed to be immersed in the joy of victory.

However, at this moment, the guard suddenly came to report and told Liu Bang about the situation of Guan Ying and Fan Xu, and Zhang Liang next to him was also silent when he heard it.

"Where are the two generals? Bring them to the temple, and I will ask them myself!" Liu Bang couldn't help but have a trace of horror in his words.

When Fan Hao entered the palace, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and seeing that Liu Bang's complexion was fine, he immediately knelt down and said: "King Qiqi, we didn't expect the Chu army to sneak attack the grain road, so the Huangcheng outside Chen County was broken. ”

"You mean breaking two cities in a row?" Liu Bang asked with some suspicion.

"That's true, that Xiang Yu did not attack the city for two days, and suddenly attacked Waihuang on the third day, a certain failed to hold, and fled to Chen County with his troops, who knew that in less than a moment, the dragon came to attack the city again, and the general had no choice but to flee back to Xingyang."

Liu Bang's face was very frightened when he heard this, "Then has the Chu army ever approached Xingyang now?" ”

Without waiting for Fan Xu's words, Zhang Liang first said: "The Chu army broke two cities in one night, and it definitely needs to rest, take this opportunity to let Han Xin come back first and help guard Xingyang." ”

"I regret not listening to the words of the Hou Ye, I should have stationed all the troops between Chenggao and Xingyang a long time ago!" Liu Bang said helplessly.

"Don't worry, it's not too late to garrison the troops now, Xiang Yu shouldn't come these days, after all, you need to transport grain and grass, the king can send someone to inform Peng Yue first, so that he can cut off the grain and grass of the Chu army, and then let Han Xin lead troops to support." Zhang Liang said slowly.

Liu Bang bowed slightly, and immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter, Chen Ping and the others were shocked when they heard that Chen County was lost, "Don't panic, you Aiqing, there are many generals in Xingyang today, and it is difficult for that feather to come and attack." ”

"King Qiqi, Han Xin is still attacking Yan today, so it is a little inappropriate to withdraw his troops in such a hurry, so let's wait for some time." Chen Ping thought for a while and said.

Li Sheng next to him didn't agree very much, and immediately came out and said: "King Qiyu, Xiang Yu came to attack Xingyang, Pengcheng must be unguarded, the minister is willing to go to Qi State, persuade Qi King Tian Guang, so that he can send troops to attack Pengcheng, so that the crisis in Xingyang can be solved." ”

Zhang Liang bowed slightly, "Now that Zhao Di has been destroyed, Qi Di is isolated, if it can be said that it is the best, but Han Xin is good at war, it is inevitable to cause trouble, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Bang asked suspiciously.

"I think I will send someone to inform Han Xin first, if he doesn't come back and forth, let him step up the attack on Yan and Qi, and Li Sheng will go to Peng Yue's place for the time being, so that he can send troops to cut off the grain and grass, so that nothing goes wrong." Zhang Liang said slowly.

When Liu Bang heard this, he looked at His Highness, but no one refutes it, so he ordered: "Let Wang Ling go to inform Han Xin, and Lisheng will go to Daliang to let Peng Yue send troops first, and then go to Jiaodong to persuade Tian Guang." ”

Xingyang is properly arranged, and it is said that in Liyang City, Lu Yan is idle at home every day, that is, he chats with Xiao He, Xiao He goes back and forth between Liyang and Xianyang every day, and almost all the food in logistics is concentrated in these two places, and then sent out in a unified manner, which can be said to be the base camp of the Han King.

Lu Yan was chatting with Xiao He that day, and suddenly talked about Chen County and Wai Huang, but he sighed a little, so he asked Xiao He: "Now that the two cities are broken, how will the king arrange it?" ”

Xiao He thought for a moment, "The former daily grain officer came to report, saying that he would defend Chenggao and Xingyang, and asked Wang Ling to invite Han Xin, and Lisheng went to Daliang to let Peng Yue send troops, and then went to Qi to persuade him to surrender." ”

After hearing this, Lu Yan also felt that it was reasonable, but he was suddenly shocked, wasn't Li Sheng's calamity Qi Guo? was killed by Tian Guang at the beginning.

"Xiangguo, you can do the things in the rear, I need to go back to Xingyang, and my wife is pregnant, so I ask Xiangguo to help take care of it." Lu Yan said eagerly.

"Isn't there something big about Xingyang?"

"Naturally, human life is at stake!"

Seeing this, Xiao He didn't stop him, and immediately sent someone to prepare the car and send Lu Yan back to Xingyang.
