…… Han Army Camp ......

"Are you all ready? Have you all the numbers? A voice rang out in the darkness.

"Rest assured, Lord, everything is ready!" The person who spoke lit a torch and illuminated the people in the dark, it was Yang Zilu, who had left during the day.

Strictly speaking, it was only Yang Zilu's stand-in who left during the day.

"Get on the horse when you're ready! Don't let Ye Gong wait for a long time! Don't forget to extinguish the torches before you go! Yang Zilu showed Bai Sensen's teeth.

"No!" In response, the torches were immediately extinguished, and the entire Han army camp was quiet.

But it was only for a moment, and immediately there was a sound of getting on the horse. Six thousand elite cavalry galloped out of the Han army camp and headed straight for Baiju.

In order to conceal their whereabouts, the four hooves of the war horse were wrapped in cloth and filled with rags and straw. And speaking of which, these cloths were sent by the Chu army, which really has to be said to be a great irony, I wonder if Ye Gong will vomit three liters of blood after he knows about it? However, Yang Zilu estimated that Ye Gong might never know how he got behind him, which meant that Ye Gong didn't even know how he died.

The cavalry slowly approached Baiju, and all the cavalry couldn't help but grab the reins a little nervously. And the Chu army at the head of Baiju City did not know that their enemy was already close to them, but because they thought that the shadow of war had moved away from them, there were not many torches on the city, and it could be seen that there were not many soldiers on the defensive. Although such a defense is not lax, it is definitely not tight.

Yang Zilu glanced at Baiju City, and sighed with some regret, such a city is very easy to sneak attack. However, for the sake of Ye Gong, a big fat fish, although there were some regrets, Yang Zilu did not let the cavalry sneak attack Baiju.

When they reached a certain distance, the soldiers consciously wrapped themselves in battle robes, which were black, and once wrapped, it was difficult to be found under the cover of night. At the same time, the black war horses were lined up on the outside near Baiju, and the other war horses were lined up inside, so as to achieve the purpose of covering the whereabouts of the war horses' coat color exposed.

Moreover, the night was very quiet, and even the primitive 'silencers' on the horse's hooves were not safe, so the speed of the cavalry was not fast, and the horses only trotted forward. It was all very tense, and at most two hundred steps away from them was Baiju City. However, it seems that God also takes care of Yang Zilu, and on the way he used to Baiju City, dark clouds drifted in the sky from time to time, making the already not very bright moonlight even darker.

Although the process was tense, the journey was thrilling. After about ten miles of Baiju, Yang Zilu let out a long breath, this distance has been ensured. Yang Zilu turned his head and ordered: "Count the number of people immediately!" And rest for half an hour! ”

"No!" The herald lowered his voice and answered, and went down to convey Yang Zilu's order.

Although there is no danger, there is still a big loophole in the night march, that is, it is easy to get separated. Even if Yang Zilu has already asked people, according to the preparation of Yishi, they are connected with a rope. But even so, seventy-three people were separated. Mang Gao counted the number of people who were scattered, and after reporting to Yang Zilu, he asked, "Lord, do you want to send someone to find them!" ”

"No need! Although they are said to have night blindness, it is still easy to find a place to hide, and they can calmly return to it during the day. And we don't have that much time to waste either! Yang Zilu took out a handful of soybeans from his waist and fed the mount, shaking his head and rejecting Manggao's suggestion.

After half an hour's rest, Yang Zilu continued to give the order to set off. Although the night was the best cover for a sneak attack, it was also very troublesome, and it took two quarters of an hour for the heralds to convey the order to the whole army just by setting off. The cavalry continued to set off, and in the early morning, the front galloped back with two horses, and Yang Zilu was not nervous, because it was the scout he had sent.

"What happened?" Yang Zilu asked.

"Return to the Lord! The traces of the rear army of the Chu army were found in the front, and the distance between them and our army was about twenty miles! I'm packing up my tent and other things, and I guess I'm already starting to set off! The scout said respectfully.

Yang Zilu touched his chin and ordered: "The whole army slows down!" He rested at the camp of the Jing Manzi. ”

Yang Zilu said and asked the scout, "How far is it from Xia Wei (now Hanyang, Wuhan City)?" ”

The scout thought for a moment and reported: "It is estimated that there are eighty miles!" ”

Yang Zilu nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and said: "In this way, after the Chu army arrives in Xia Wei, it will also have to prepare a boat division, which will require a lot of boats, so the Chu army will need dusk to cross the river at the earliest, and the time is just right!" ”

…… Xia Xiao......

The sun hangs high, casting a scorching light on the surging Yangtze River, making the Yangtze River flash at the beginning, as if the scales of a big dragon are refracting the light.

Ye Gong held the sword at his waist in his hand and looked at the north quietly. Xu Cheng walked behind Ye Gong, looked at the Yangtze River behind Ye Gong, frowned and said, "Marshal, are you still worried about the affairs of the Han Army?" ”

"Hmm!" Ye Gong did not deny it.

"Actually, Marshal, I think there should be no matter, even if there is something Baiju will light the beacon there, and we can find out the situation here. And now the beacon is not lit, doesn't this mean that there is no morale in the north? Xu Cheng reassured.

But I don't know why, Ben Shuai always has a hunch that Yang Zilu is not the kind of person who is a husband! Once you've achieved something, settle for fun! Ben Shuai is really worried! Ye Gong said worriedly.

Xu Cheng felt that Ye Gong was really thinking too much, and pointed to the Yangtze River behind Ye Gong and said: "Marshal, don't think too much, you can enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the Great Chu Kingdom and relax your mind!" The mind is like a bowstring, always tense, although it is said that an arrow can be shot at any time, but the bowstring can also break at any time. ”

When Xu Cheng said this, he paused and continued: "Speaking of the marshal, you have done the marshal who should be guarded, and you have also sat down the marshal who should not be guarded." At this time, marshal, what good is it for you to worry about yourself? Why don't you fish on the banks of the Yangtze River this afternoon, and the last general and the marshal compare their fishing skills! ”

When Ye Gong heard this, he also relaxed a little, nodded with a smile and said, "You're right, but Ben Shuai and you are here, I'm afraid it's not kind!" Come on, call the deputy marshal (Ziguo) to come over! ”

"No!" A pro-soldier answered, and immediately hurried to find Ziguo.
