In Cangcheng, the flames are blazing, and most of the sky is reflected red. /

But when Xiang Yu led people to rush to the bottom of the city, he saw that the gate of the city was open, the suspension bridge was flat, and there was no sound on the city.

Xiang Yu's first reaction was: There is an ambush!

He immediately drank and stopped the horses, and watched the gate for a long time.

But at a glance, the city gate of the building warehouse is transparent, and there is no one. There was no sound except the crackling of flames. If it was really before, Xiang Yu would not hesitate to rush into the warehouse with people. But he suffered losses at the hands of Liu + one after another, so he had to be cautious. In other words, Xiang Yu has been tortured by Liu + in the past.

After about a cup of tea, it was finally confirmed that there was no one in the castle.

Xiang Yu then ordered to enter the building warehouse to put out the fire......

However, when Xiang Yu stood in front of the fire, he was stunned and speechless for a long time.

In the city of Loucang, there was indeed a fire, but it was not the heavy grain and grass in the warehouse, but the dry grass and firewood piled up in the grange. I don't know where Liu + got so much firewood, a pile in the east and a pile in the west, everywhere. This is not only the case with the Liu family's grange, but also with the Chen family's grange and the Lu family's grange. The fire is raging, and it goes straight into the sky.

What kind of trick is this Liu + playing?

Xiang Yu smiled bitterly. Xindao: Could it be that my reputation is so bad? It's so bad that I swear it. Can't be believed?

Of course, he understood Liu +'s thoughts. One of the thirty-six plans of the later generations. The golden cicada sheds its shell.

It's the fear of yourself. Regret the pursuit!

I would like to report to the evacuation list in the future. There will be no shortage of moisture. Maybe. Evacuated long ago...... The reason why it has not moved. It's just waiting for the right time. Grab your attention with a fire. Then wait for the opportunity to withdraw. On the sly!

What a plan......

Xiang Yu can be sure. In this grange. There must be a back door that can quietly evacuate the building.

"Major General, what shall we do?"

Looking at the burning firewood, the soldiers of the Chu army couldn't help but come over and ask: "This fire, do you want to save it or not?" ”

"Save, save!" Xiang Yu sighed and said, "It's a good fortress, don't burn it because of this fire."

Passing on my general order, Wang Fei led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to fight the fire, and the rest of the people followed me to protect the warehouse and count the grain and grass.

In addition, send someone to Fuli to inform the general, saying that the warehouse has fallen into our hands, and the general can temporarily retreat! ”

"Whoa!"

The soldiers of the Chu army responded to the order.

Xiang Yu led the people of the headquarters to the warehouse to count the heavy grain and grass.

When he saw the stacks of brand-new armor and weapons stacked in the warehouse, and the stacks of grain and grass on the heavy ground, his mood suddenly brightened.

"Count the numbers."

Earlier, Shi Sima, the commander of the army, and other officials rushed up and began to count the supplies.

"Major General, here's a list."

A civil servant pulled out a list from the side of the warehouse and shouted in surprise.

With this list, the intensity of the work will be greatly reduced. You know, if you don't have a list, you have to register it little by little. With so many materials in the warehouse, it was a lot of work. In less than a month or two, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sort it out. Now, you only need to count according to the number on the list, and you can quickly clean up the points and check, saving a lot of trouble.

Xiang Yu smiled slightly, "That's it, you can check according to the list." ”

In my heart, a trace of loneliness suddenly appeared: Liu Lao Zhen is also a believer, knowing that my Chu army is in danger now, leaving this list is also a lot of affection. It's a pity that I don't know when I will be able to see him again in the future, and I really miss it when I think about it!

The remaining time under the city of Loucang is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience for Xiang Yu.

Just when he was most proud, his way taught Xiang Yu a good life. This also completely made Xiang Yu understand that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

Whether it is Liu +'s combination of vertical and horizontal, or Chen Ying's verbal sword, and Han Xin's chest armor, Xiang Yu has benefited a lot. At least, he has now learned to think, to learn to compromise at some point.

Now, it makes Xiang Yu feel lonely.

I don't know, can I meet Liu + again in the future? The posturing these days, in retrospect, is really interesting.

In fact, among the Qin people, there seem to be wonderful people.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but smile.

His gaze became firm again, he looked into the distance, clenched his fists secretly, and swore in his heart: next time, I will never be as embarrassed as this time......

"What about the military advisor? Why didn't you see the military division? ”

Han Xin and Long urged the horses to come, dismounted in front of Xiang Yu, and looked around curiously. The dragon was pulling his throat, and he could hear it from three miles away.

Xiang Yu came back to his senses, and only then did he react.

yes, where did Chen Ying go?

It stands to reason that after occupying the building, Chen Ying should appear as soon as possible. But it seems that until now, I haven't seen anyone.

"Who knows where the military advisor has gone?"

Xiang Yu hurriedly asked, but no one around made a sound.

After a long time, a civil official walked out, and Ai Ai said: "When I left the camp earlier, my subordinates seemed to see Chen Junshi and General Xiao Gongjiao together, and they went to the north with a lot of men and horses. But as soon as he was busy, his subordinates forgot about it. ”

Heading north?

Xiang Yu sighed in his heart.

"The military advisor won't be going to join the Qin army."

The dragon came with no head and no brain. But as soon as the words came out, he was slapped by Han Xin.

"Old Dragon, what nonsense are you talking about?" Han Xin smiled and said to Xiang Yu: "The young general doesn't have to listen to Lao Long's nonsense, the military division is like Huai and Han, and he has always tried his best to plan for the young general. Earlier, when we did not have an advantage, the military division did not go to the Qin army; Now that we have seized the warehouse and taken advantage of it, it is even more impossible for the military division to surrender to the enemy. Come to think of it, there must be something about the military advisor......

It's just that even if the military advisor has something, he should send someone to tell the major general. He left without saying a word with people like this, which will inevitably make people suspicious. Major General, I don't think it's a big deal, don't worry too much, maybe after a while, the military division will come back. ”

In this world, the soft knife is the most murderous without blood.

Han Xin seemed to be speaking for Chen Ying, but in Xiang Yu's ears, it was not a taste.

Since Chen Ying took refuge, everything has not gone well.

First

Xu County was attacked, and then he was defeated in Loucang, and then the army attacked Lou.

On the contrary, Chen Ying fought steadily and steadily, and finally won the warehouse. Although he is the coach, in the hearts of many people, he is afraid that Chen Ying is the hero.

If you want to say this man, he always has this jealousy.

Xiang Yu is an arrogant person, so he naturally can't avoid thinking about this.

But it's not the problem that's the most serious. What made Xiang Yu feel worried was that Chen Ying was silent and left with the soldiers and horses, and he, the coach, didn't know it. This means that Chen Ying is in the army and controls part of the power, which makes Xiang Yu very uncomfortable.

His face suddenly became gloomy.

He pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Old Dragon, you and Han Xin stay here and count the heavy grain and grass." I personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses to meet the military division...... I'm worried that the military advisor may go after Liu and have an agreement with Liu+, and he will simply make me lose my reputation.

I'm going to chase him back. ”

Han Xin said: "It is very likely that the young general said so.

However, the major general still has to beware of some lands as well. I heard that when Liu + was in Henan, he was full of wit, with hundreds of soldiers and horses, he shook the 100,000 army of the Huns, and the Huns lost their troops and fled. It's just that since he used this kind of trick today, it is difficult to ensure that he did not set up any tricks when he retreated... The teacher is in danger! ”

With these words, Xiang Yu nodded again and again in appreciation.

He immediately led his troops to attack and went to chase Chen Ying.

Looking at Xiang Yu's departing back, the corners of Han Xin's mouth curled slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

You Chen Ying is resourceful, what can you do?

I'm afraid that after tonight, you, the number one strategist in the army, will no longer be able to keep it. At that time, it will be the day I ascend to the throne.

"Han Xin, what are you looking at?"

Long Ji was beside him, and asked suspiciously.

Han Xin smiled, "It's nothing, I just want that Liu+, I'm afraid I will die this time...... Old Long, the warehouse is in hand, do you have any plans? ”

Long Ji was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”

Han Xin said: "With the building in hand, the major general will definitely recruit troops and expand the military capacity." Today, Donghai County is still in chaos and is a borderless land. However, that's also a good place for us to build a meritorious service...... If we can capture the East China Sea for the young general, we will directly threaten Xue Jun.

Give us 30,000 troops, and I can guarantee that within two months, Xue Jun will be given to the major general.

It's just that I can't do it alone. But I don't know if you, old dragon, are you interested, let's join forces and take the first credit after winning this warehouse? ”

Long Ji's eyes lit up all of a sudden!

Since the failure of Xu County, although Xiang Yu did not blame him, Long Ji's heart has always been uncomfortable.

Now that he heard Han Xin's words, he was keenly aware that this was a great opportunity for him to make contributions and wash away his shame. For Han Xin, the life-saving benefactor, Long He trusts him very much. Don't look at Han Xin's young age, but in this belly, there is real talent and real learning!

Especially when it comes to administering the army, it's like turning an arm.

More than 10,000 recruits under the command of Long Ji were trained by Han Xin in a short period of time.

If Han Xin gives him advice, with his own bravery, and Han Xin's resourcefulness, it can be called seamless.

Thinking of this, Long He said without hesitation: "Ashin, I know that you are a capable person. If you're willing to help me, then I can't ask for it. In this way, when the major general returns, I will mention this matter to him, and he will never refuse. ”

At the thought of being able to lead his troops to attack, Long He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

And Han Xin on the side, the smile on his face, at this time, was even stronger!

―――――――――――――――――――

Chen Ying and Xiao Gongjiao took the men and horses, and took advantage of the night to chase down.

He can now be sure that the fire in the building warehouse is just a trick used by Liu + to cover people's eyes and attract his own attention. He was definitely not in the building, but led his troops to withdraw...... The fastest way to retreat from Loucang to Pengcheng is to take the fork of the Tang River and cross the water.

Therefore, Chen Ying wanted to set up an ambush at the fork of the Tang River before Liu + arrived, and take the opportunity to ambush.

Under Xiao Gongjiao, there were about 8,000 people.

Do the math, it should be enough to ambush Liu + and others.

As long as he kills Liu + and eliminates this henchman's trouble, even if he goes back and is blamed by Xiang Yu, he Chen Ying is willing.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying was anxious. Keep raising the whip to urge the horse to speed up the march.

It was the end of mid-spring, and the sky was much brighter than usual. When Chen Ying and the others arrived at the fork of the Tang River, the sky was just dark.

In the distance, I saw the clear Tang River, like a jade belt, walking around the river bay.

"Lao Xiao, you take some people and ambush in that reed. I guess I couldn't have imagined that I'd ambush him here.

He will come over later, and he must be in a hurry to cross the river.

When the time comes, listen to my command, and let us strike together, and make sure that he is left on this bend. If you can kill this person, you and I will be able to sit back and relax in the future. ”

Xiao Gongjiao immediately nodded in agreement, took some people, and walked into the reeds.

Chen Ying led another part of the men and horses to ambush on the other side of the river. When everyone was ambushed, Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

A pro-soldier suddenly shrugged his nose.

"Strategist, what does this smell like?"

Chen Ying didn't care, and said casually: "Maybe it's the rancid smell of the reeds." Be patient, and as soon as Qin Gou comes in a while, we will kill it. ”

"No, no!"

The soldier shook his head vigorously, "It's not rancid, it seems to be, it seems to be the smell of fire oil." ”

Kerosene?

Chen Ying was stunned, and a chill suddenly appeared in her heart.

The oil is diluted in water, and the smell is not very strong. In addition, the reed flowers of this Tang River fork are fragrant, and it is difficult to detect it if you don't smell it carefully.

He quickly crouched down and grabbed a handful of dirt with his hands.

The sky was bright, and you could see that there was an eerie black color in the dirt. Put it under your nose and smell it, and it will smell even more pungent!

"It's not good, get out of here!"

Chen Ying only felt a cold air rising from his waist on the back of his back, and only walked towards the root of his neck.

There's an ambush!

It seems that Liu + has already thought that someone on his side will ambush him, so he is here...... He hurriedly mounted his horse and led the people to the edge of the reeds.

At this moment, a golden light appeared on the horizon and the sun rose.

A flat boat floated from the upper reaches of the Tang River, and a scribe on the bow of the boat laughed loudly: "Chen Ying, my prince has known you for a long time

There is no faith at all. Therefore, an ambush is set up here, and when you come, hehe, since you are here, don't go! ”

As he spoke, he saw a chirping hammer fly out of the boat.

A piercing whistling sound rang out over the silent riverbank.

In an instant, more than 100 small boats sprang out from the river trap on the opposite bank. On each boat, there are three people standing. One person holds the boat, two archers.

As Li Cheng shouted 'let go of the arrow', the archer bent his bow and set the arrow on fire, swishing and shooting towards the reeds. In an instant, the reeds were blazing, and the flames were soaring into the sky. If the fire in the building warehouse is to attract people and is fake, then the current fire is indeed a real flame that takes people's lives. The fire spread in an instant, the Tang River forked, and thick smoke billowed out.

The Chu army in the reeds couldn't dodge, some were directly hit by rockets, and some fell to the ground and were trampled to death.

But many more were surrounded by the flames. They were already stained with fire oil, and when they caught fire, they immediately burst into flames.

A terrible scream echoed in the sky.

Chen Ying couldn't care much anymore, he kept whipping the ** mount, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Retreat, retreat quickly!" ”

It's easy for you to get in, but it's hard to get out.

Smoke billowed everywhere, flames everywhere.

Chen Ying and the others were in a sea of fire, like headless flies, scurrying from place to place. At this time, Xiao Gongjiao came over with a group of men and horses and shouted loudly: "Military advisor, go this way, go this way." ”

To the southwest, there is a river trap, perhaps because of the strong current, so it did not burn.

Chen Ying couldn't take care of it much at this time, and urged the horse to follow Xiao Gongjiao and leave. Along the way, when he encountered the Chu army that blocked his way, Xiao Gongjiao danced and killed without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the group rushed out of the reeds, headed in the direction of the building, and walked away.

But he hadn't waited many miles before he heard a long trumpet.

A general, who was too tall, armed with a mace, and a hundred Loucang soldiers holding short contradictory cards, blocked the way.

"Dog thief, Uncle Liu Ju is here, you can't get off the horse and surrender!"

Xiao Gongjiao and Chen Ying didn't recognize Liu Ju.

But this is not a representative, everyone doesn't recognize Liu Ju. Under Xiao Gongjiao, there were not only soldiers who participated in the battle of Loucang with Xiang Yu, but also the Chu army who followed Ge Ying and attacked Loucang. What kind of character is this Liu Ju? These are the people who know best.

As soon as he saw Liu Ju's majestic figure, he immediately turned around and left.

If you are burned to death, you can still have a whole corpse, if you bump into this uncle and be swept by the stick in his hand, you will be dead without a whole corpse.

Xiao Gongjiao shouted, "The military advisor is leaving, I'll stop him." ”

As he spoke, he slapped the horse and danced, and rushed towards Liu Ju.

Chen Ying still had to be polite, so without saying a word, he took the remnants of the defeated army and left on a detour.

In Chen Ying's mind, even if Xiao Gongjiao can't win, at least he can drag Liu Ju back......

But who knows, Liu Ju showed a contemptuous smile on his face, walked along Xiao Gongjiao, didn't blink his eyelids, and after turning sideways for too long, the horse walked steadily, and with a thunderous tiger roar in his mouth, he punched the horse in the neck. How powerful is Liu Ju's punch?

Just look at the fate of the war horse.

The war horse hissed miserably, stumbled two steps, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Liu Ju punched and broke the neck of the war horse. That Xiao Gongjiao was dizzy and his head was swollen, and his armor was crooked. He struggled to get up, but before he could stand firmly, more than a dozen short spears stabbed the ground. After penetrating Xiao Gongjiao's body, the shield was pushed, and Xiao Gongjiao fell in a pool of blood and could no longer get up.

Looking at Chen Ying who fled in a hurry, Liu Ju did not chase after him.

He yelled, "Throw the spear!" ”

A hundred soldiers took a step back at the same time, took a stance, and threw the short spear in their hands with a flick of their arms. The dozens of Chu soldiers who ran at the back were nailed to the ground alive. After the sergeant of Loucang threw the spear, the probe pulled out a short spear from behind.

It turned out that this Loucang army all carried two short spears with them.

Chen Ying only heard the screams behind him, and he didn't need to look back to know what the result was.

He couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed, knowing that Liu + was a treacherous person and scheming, why didn't he prevent him from ambushing him?

I only know how to calculate people, but I don't know that people are also calculating themselves!

Although Chen Ying didn't want to admit it, in his heart, he always had a trace of contempt for Liu +. But now it seems that who despises whom, not necessarily!

Thinking of this, Chen Yingyue was annoyed and kept beating the horses.

Bypassing the col ahead, it is the official road leading directly to the building...... It's ridiculous to say that even such an official road was created by Liu + Governor.

"Mr. Chen, since you're here, don't go!"

In my ears, a familiar voice sounded. When Chen Ying heard this voice, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. Looking up, I saw a group of men and horses coming out of the col. But it was all cavalry, with black helmets and black armor, and they were all dressed seriously. For there are four generals.

Li Bi on the left, Luo Jia on the right.

In the middle of the body, he was dressed in casual clothes, holding a red flag and smiling.

Beside him, slightly behind half of the horse's body, the infant immediately crossed the halberd, and his face was full of murderous intent.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ying was desperate......

He gritted his teeth, pulled out the saber under his ribs with a loud bang, and shouted: "Sons, follow me to charge and fight a bloody road!" ”
