Chapter 295: The Battle of Loucang (3)
At night, in the camp of the Chu army, there was a gloomy and bleak scene.
Xiang Yu leaned on the big tent of the Chinese army with a broken complexion, and from time to time he coughed strongly, which made the atmosphere in the tent even colder.
"Liu +, he didn't plan to fight us at all."
Chen Ying said softly: "Although he put on a posture of wanting to fight a decisive battle with us, he attracted us to Sihong. But in fact, he is trying to hold us back, and he wants to drag us down here all the time. Major General, if you continue to attack, it will be dangerous. ”
"Chen Junshi, how can you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?"
A Chu general couldn't help but jump out and said loudly: "Loucang is a small place, I don't believe that our hundreds of thousands of troops can't break through this city." ”
"Wang Peng, shut up!"
Xiang Yu suddenly burst out.
The pale face was flushed with a sickly red.
He took a deep breath and calmed down the churning qi and blood, "After listening to the military advisor, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for dealing with it with military law." ”
After two successive failures. Xiang Yu seemed to have become much more patient.
"Strategist. Please go on. ”
Chen Ying glanced at Wang Peng. Then he said, "Break through the warehouse." Of course not impossible. But the problem is. Breach the building. How much do we have to pay? Not to mention the high walls of the storehouse. But only he stockpiles heavy weapons. It's already a big problem.
Today they attack with poisonous water. We were forced to shoot ourselves.
General Wang. If they continue to attack the ground like this. You think we're pawns. And how many people will be able to persevere? The result of the major general's storming of the ground today. You've seen it too...... With the power of a major general. can only stop at the city of Loucang. It's hard to go back in.
All right. 100,000 soldiers and horses were released. We laid the warehouse. But what next? ”
"This ......" Wang Fei's face was flushed and his mouth was closed.
Chen Ying slammed his cheeks, "Major General, now Loucang has sent a force of men and horses to make our army's food road unstable." If the grain road is not quiet, the army's spirit is unstable. We attacked from Huaihan, and the grain and herbs were not sufficient. Originally, I was counting on the capture of the building warehouse to alleviate the difficulties of our army, but now it seems that it is a little worse...... I knew that it was better to give up Sihong, take Xiangxian directly, and join the King of Wei. ”
Xiang Yu didn't say anything!
In fact, he proposed to capture the warehouse.
originally thought that this place of building and projectile could be easily captured. But I didn't expect that I would lose my troops and be trapped here.
"If we bypass the building warehouse at this time, it will be tantamount to a blow to the Chu people.
Xiang Gong's seizure of troops in Ruyin already made many people disgruntled and secretly wary. But now, it has become a contempt for our army.
So, the warehouse had to be captured, and that was very important to us.
But the building can't be beaten...... I originally thought that this Surabaya Lieutenant was a martial artist and not worth mentioning. But I didn't expect it to be such a character. ”
"Then you go and vote for him!"
Wang Fei couldn't help muttering, which made Xiang Yu furious, and regardless of his illness and weakness, he jumped up and wanted to kill Wang Fei.
Chen Ying hurriedly dissuaded, "The young general doesn't need to be angry, General Wang is also unintentional." The baby was not shaken, but regretted that he had underestimated this person at the beginning, and did not inquire seriously...... Now, although the Qin army is alone, it comes and goes like the wind, and acts carefully.
At present, we have to send heavy troops to escort grain and grass, and we have overcome this period of crisis, and then think of other ways.
The top priority is to come up with a foolproof plan to take down the warehouse...... In the humble opinion of infants, it is naturally the best to be able to fight without blood. ”
The so-called military strategy!
Chen Ying has a point. But if you want to take the warehouse without blood, how easy is it?
I have calculated privately that if we storm the warehouse, it will not be possible to take advantage of it without 60 to 100 days. But the problem is, they don't have that much time. Once they are dragged down, it means that the pressure on Xiang Liang's side will increase.
"Liu + fights or not, and he doesn't go, like a fish in his throat, it's really hateful."
Xiang Yu clenched his fists and slammed it on the long case, "Mr. Chen, what is the news of the fine work you sent to Loucang?" ”
Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Young General, looking at the current situation, is it possible for me to get the news?" ”
"What then? Is it just dragging on? ”
Chen Ying shook his head again and again, "I can't drag it, I can't drag it......"
Just when everyone was helpless, a junior colonel suddenly came to report: "Major General, General Long is back!" ”
Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, didn't react, and blurted out, "General Long?" That dragon general? ”
"General Long and General, it's General Long and General!"
"Ahh When Xiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be very surprised. Hu stood up suddenly, bypassed the long case, and asked loudly, "Is the old dragon back?" Isn't he dead...... Where is the old dragon, lead me to him. ”
No matter how clever Chen Ying is, in his heart, Xiang Yu still believes in Long Ji more.
After all, it was a partner who grew up with him, and he thought that he had died in the battle of Xuxian, but he didn't expect that Long He was still alive......
This may be the best news Xiang Yu has heard in the past two days.
From outside the tent, Long Ji was helped in by two soldiers.
"Major General, I'm back!"
"Old Dragon ......"
Xiang Yu couldn't help but have red eyes, a burst of pantothenic acid in his nose, took a step forward, and hugged Long He, "It's good that you're not dead, I thought it was ......"
"Young General, the old dragon has disgraced you and disappointed you."
The dragon is described as haggard and sallow.
He knelt down in front of Xiang Yu with a plop and cried loudly: "I lost all the sons and daughters you handed over to me, and I deserve to die." ”
"Old Dragon, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, get up, get up...... If you lose, you lose, you look at me, isn't it a losing streak now?
The landlord of the building warehouse is the guy we met in Ramie Mountain back then.
The day before yesterday and yesterday...... I folded it twice in his hand. ”
"Ah, Major General, you also lost?"
Xiang Yu obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore. Being able to admit defeat is already the limit of his place, and if he explores it again, it is absolutely impossible.
"Old Dragon, sit down." He pulled Long He, sat down in the big tent, and after looking up and down, "Old Dragon, how did you escape?" ”
"That's a long time!"
Long He said bitterly: "I was attacked in Xu County that day, and the whole army was wiped out. He was also injured by Qin Dog and almost lost his life...... Luckily, I met a man who rescued me and took me away from the battlefield to raise me. Just a little bit later, I heard that the young general was coming to Loucang City, so I brought that man to meet you...... Major General, that is a master of the art of war. ”
"Oh?"
When Xiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and asked curiously, "Where is the master now?" ”
"Just outside the tent, waiting for your summons."
Xiang Yu and Chen Ying glanced at each other and hurriedly got up
"Old Dragon, how can you let the master wait outside the tent, come here, please come soon
After a while, a young man stepped into the big tent.
He looked to be in his early twenties, and his face was still green, but his air was magnificent, and he exuded a calm air.
Is this a master?
Xiang Yu was stunned! How do you look younger than me......
"Xiaomin Han Xin, it is the Huaiyin people's clan!" The young man walked into the big tent and waved his hand, "I have heard about the general for a long time, and I am here to visit you today!" ”
―――――――――――――――
> Yang, the capital of the Song Dynasty in ancient times.
6Jia looked at the ancient and heavy city wall, took a deep breath, and clenched his fist vigorously.
After returning from Xue County, he took a letter of alliance with Wang Ke, the county guard of Xue County, and went directly to the ancient city of >yang.
This will be the place where I can show my talents!
He cheered himself up. Since he took refuge in Liu+, Liu+ has treated him like a guest, and he has to ask for his opinion on many things. This is undoubtedly a kind of grace for 6 Jia. The more this is the case, the more 6 Jia wants to do something for Liu +.
But he also knows that there is no shortage of strategists under Liu +'s account.
Whether it's Chen Ping, Chen Daozi, or Kuaiche...... These people have been following Liu + for a long time, and they can be described as having deep roots. As a person who has just taken refuge in the past, he will point fingers as soon as he comes up, which will definitely cause Chen Ping's dissatisfaction. Therefore, when Liu + was deliberating, most of the 6 Jia remained silent and did not stand up and speak. First, it was Kui Che and the others who had done a good job, and secondly, it was to protect themselves.
6 Jia believes that there is always a chance for him to get ahead.
Now, here's the opportunity......
Chen Ping went to Henan, and Kuaiche went to Hebei.
Jia Shao was busy with the contact with Shuzhong, and Shusun Tong didn't seem to like to meddle too deeply, only wandering on the edge and recommending some talents.
So, there was an opportunity for 6 Jia to perform.
When he was ordered to supervise Pengcheng, he immediately calculated a set of feasible strategies.
first went to Xue County, made an alliance with Wang Ke, and then sent an envoy to persuade Zhang to cooperate.
6 Jia knows very well that now in Surabaya County, it can be described as a three-legged stand. The Qin army, the Chu army, and the Loucang army...... In contrast, the strength of the Loucang army is the weakest, but the capital in their hands is the largest. 6 Jia needs to convert this capital into the advantage of Liu + land.
Then the trip to > sun is the key!
If the trip to > Yang is successful, Liu +'s momentum will be created to the extreme.
Next, with just a suitable opportunity, Liu + took the opportunity to get out of Surabaya and move to Jiuyuan County.
There is a degree of problem here, 6 Jia admits that he has grasped the weakness of Zhang. So, if this trip is successful, it will be done.
"Stop!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived outside > Yang City, the carriage and horse were stopped by the Qin army.
However, 6 Jia did not panic, and said calmly: "I am the envoy of Guangwu, and I was ordered to come to discuss matters with General Zhang Han.
Don't delay waiting for the briefing. ”
Who is Guangwu-kun?
The Qin soldiers defending the city were not clear.
But looking at 6 Jia's posture, he also knows that he is not an ordinary person.
So a soldier flew to report to the > Yang Mansion, and after a while, he saw a general galloping from the city and reining in front of the car.
"Lord Shaofu has an order, and he ordered the envoy to meet him."
Since Zhang became famous in the first battle on the banks of the Weishui River, he was often called a general in the army. But this time, Zhang called him by his official name, obviously paying special attention to 6 Jia. 6And Ja threw up his hand in the chariot, drove into the city, and rode with the general.
"Guangwujun, are you okay?"
On the horse, the Qin general suddenly asked.
6 Jia was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Guangwujun is all right, and General Lao is worried...... But I don't know, the general's surname? ”
"My name is Feng Jing, and I used to have a friendship with Guangwujun."
"Ah, it's the son of a great general!"
6 Jia has made the generals in the Qin army clear.
This Feng Jing, as Zhang's deputy general, naturally will not be ignorant.
After Ying Huhai ascended the throne, he forced Feng Quji and Feng Zai's father and son to death. Including Feng Jing, it was inevitable that they would be implicated and imprisoned together.
Fortunately, the Feng family also has a good foundation in Xianyang.
Later, Ying Huhai also regretted a little, he was too eager to kill the Feng family's father and son. I had the heart to let Feng Jing go, but I was worried that Feng Jing had a grudge. So Feng Jing was beaten to serve in Lishan. After Zhang Han came out of the mountain, he tried his best to ensure that Feng Jing obeyed orders with the army, and now he has made many military exploits.
It's just that 6 Jia didn't expect that Feng Jing and Liu + also had a relationship.
Feng Jing's expression darkened, and he forced a smile: "Mr. 6, is it?" Don't mention the previous things...... Feng Jing is just waiting for a guilty body now.
I am also close friends with Beiguang Wujun, and his affairs are ...... I know a little bit about it.
If there is chaos today, officials from all sides are fluctuating, but Beiguang Wujun is still struggling to support the situation of Sihong, which is really ironic. ”
Feng Jing saw that there was no one on either side, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Mr. 6, the Chu army is now counterattacking Chen County, and the Wei army cannot hold out, and it is stalemate with me on the side of the mountain. > Yang is not abundant in grain and grass, and Zhang Han is now worried about it...... Sir, you might as well take advantage of it. ”
6 Jia looked at Feng Jing in astonishment.
He had only vaguely heard of these situations, and he was not sure.
But Feng Jing confirmed these news, which undoubtedly added weight to the negotiation for 6 Jia.
Feng Jing, with a normal complexion, looked ahead, as if the person who spoke just now was not him. In addition to the ecstasy, 6 Jia couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: What the prince said is true, the Ying family has lost its deer...... Even people like Feng Jing are no longer loyal to the Ying family.
"General Feng, if possible, please wait for the opportunity to go north...... The prince said that General Zhang could not turn the tide. ”
6 After determining Feng Jing's thoughts, Jia suddenly lowered his voice and said a word when the palace stopped, and then stopped speaking.
Feng Jing, with an amplitude that is not easy to be noticed, nodded lightly.
At this time, a person walked out of the mansion, looked at 6 Jia who was standing at the foot of the steps, and shouted loudly: "Lord Shaofu has an order, order Guangwu Jun to report to the door!" ”
This is to give me a dismount......
6 Jia couldn't help but feel a flash in his heart, and walked up the steps.
He said loudly in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Beiguang Wujun's envoy, 6 Jia visits Lord Zhang Han Shaofu!" ”
Feng Jing was at the bottom of the steps, looking at the back of 6 Jia, and couldn't help but sigh softly: Liu Junhou in the past, Liu Junhou now, has become a climate...... Just look at the appearance of his subordinates who are neither humble nor arrogant, how many people can there be in today's Xianyang?
Perhaps, waiting for the opportunity to go north is also a good way out.
Well, I heard that Wang Li has already mobilized his troops and horses, why don't you find an opportunity to go north? I just don't know, this Guangwu Jun, how to get out!
