"Oh? Mengyan broke the mountain, Huyan broke the Wuxi barbarian?! Xiang Zhuang's expression was greatly lifted when he heard this, and he said urgently, "Okay, so that Jiangdong and Jingxiang will have no worries!" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said again, "Lao Qu, immediately pass the book to Linxiang and Shanyin Flying Pigeon, and let Huyan and Mengyang come to Nanyang to help in the war!" ”

"Whoa!" Qu Bucai waved at Xiang Zhuang and took the order.

Bai Lixian sat up on his knees and said to Xiang Zhuang with a smile: "King, you can rest assured now." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, shook his head again, and said: "The two hidden dangers of Shanyue and Wuxi Man have been solved, and it is estimated that there will be no problems on the side of Nanyue, and there will be Pang Yu in Qiang, Di, and Ranlong in Shuxi, so it doesn't hurt to forgive me, but the widows in Huainan are still a little relieved, Han Xin and Yingbu work together, and learning swords may not be able to win steadily." ”

After a pause, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Or, transfer the Xiao cavalry army to Huainan?" ”

The feather fan in Bai Lixian's hand shook slightly, frowned, and said: "But the strength of our side is also very nervous, according to the information provided by Ebony Cliff, this time Liu Bang has fully levied an army of 500,000 cavalry, in addition to 100,000 Hu cavalry, if there are no 20,000 elite cavalry of the Xiao cavalry, what can we do to resist Liu Bang's cavalry?" ”

Xiang Zhuang was silent, and after a long time, he said: "The widow went out for a walk." ”

As a veteran, Xiang Zhuang knows that he can't be negligent at any time, especially in front of the battle during the day, Zhou Guanfu even beheaded eight generals of the Chu State, and now the morale of the Han army is high, and if it is not good, it will come to steal the camp overnight, but if the Han army really dares to come to steal the camp overnight, it will give them a big surprise.

##########

As Xiang Zhuang expected, someone in the Han army really wanted to steal the camp overnight.

This person is Zhou Guanfu, Zhou Guanfu walked into Liu Bang's royal tent proudly, and said: "King, the Chu army has broken eight generals in a row during the day. I've already frustrated my spirit, so why not take the opportunity to steal the camp tonight? "Say this. Zhou Guanfu said murderously again. "The ministers don't need too many people, only eight thousand fine horses from the headquarters are enough."

Zhou Bo, who was drinking with Liu Bang, hurriedly scolded: "My son is not allowed to come here, Xiang Zhuang is the hero of the world, although the Chu army has broken his sharpness during the day." But how can you be defenseless at night? ”

Liu Bang groaned and said, "Stealing the camp at night? Or you can give it a try. ”

"The king must not!" Chen Ping sat up on his knees and shook his hands repeatedly. "Since the implementation of the new law in the state of Chu, the domestic industry and commerce have developed vigorously, and all kinds of new equipment have emerged in an endless stream. The benefits of its equipment are far beyond the reach of our army. Therefore, our army went to steal the camp at night with a small number of elite soldiers, and it could only be sent to death in vain. ”

Zhou Guanfu said: "Why did the left military division grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige? ”

Chen Ping said: "The champion Hou Yan is serious, and he is just talking about things. ”

Seeing Chen Ping's resolute opposition, Liu Bang hesitated. asked Zhang Liangdao again: "Ovary, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Liang brushed the increasingly thinning goatee under his chin. Said slowly: "King, even if the Chu army does not have the advantage of equipment, stealing the camp at night is also a strategy. After saying this, Zhang Liang said to Zhou Guanfu again, "It is understandable that the champion Hou is eager to kill the enemy, but it is better to wait for the next day to kill the enemy and make contributions." ”

Seeing that Zhang Liang also said this, Zhou Guanfu was silent.

Liu Bang also said at the moment: "Okay, then we will fight the Chu army tomorrow." ”

Zhou Bo frowned and persuaded: "King, our army has enough food and grass, and there is no need to rush to a decisive battle with the enemy. ”

Chen Ping also echoed: "What the Tai Lieutenant said is extremely true, although our army has superior strength, but the Chu army is well-equipped and well-trained, and its combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to the more pawns temporarily recruited by our army. ”

Zhang Liang smiled slightly, and also said: "King, the Chu army is now fighting on multiple fronts. ”…,

"That's right, how did the widow forget this stubble." Liu Bang slapped his forehead and said, "Just wait for Shanyue, Wuxi Barbarian, Qiang, Di and other barbarians to attack Jiangdong, Jingxiang and the hinterland of Bashu, the Chu army can only be forced to retreat. ”

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "The key is Huainan. ”

Chen Ping's eyes lit up, listening to Zhang Liang's meaning, the Chu army would definitely lose the battle of Huainan?

"Huainan?" Liu Bang was mistaken and said, "Huainan is really a trouble, Han Xin doesn't know how to do it, since three years ago, he has been like a different person, hiding in the palace of Linzi all day long, and he doesn't go out much, this time the Chu army invaded Huainan in a big way, and he just let the prince Han Qian lead the army to the expedition, isn't this child's play?" ”

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "King, do you really think Han Xin would be so rash? ”

"What do you mean by the ovary?" Liu Bang was stunned and said, "Could it be that Han Xin is secretly ......"

Zhang Liang clapped his hands and said: "King, think about it carefully, from Chencang to Pusaka, then from Pusaka to Jingcheng, then from Jingcheng to Weishui, and finally to the Battle of Qixia, which of these classic battles commanded by Han Xin is not a positive and strange complement?" In this battle of Huainan, how could Han Xin be an exception? ”

Liu Bang said in a loud voice: "So, Han Xin will also go on the expedition secretly?" ”

"Of course, the minister expects that Han Xin will personally recruit." Zhang Liang said this, and said firmly, "Moreover, the minister even expected that Han Xin would make a surprise attack to intercept the Chu army's grain road!" If the grain road of the Chu army is intercepted, the battle of Huainan will be lost! At that time, the army of Qi could move south and approach Jiangdong, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't even retreat. ”

"Good!" Liu Bang slapped his thigh and said loudly, "Then stick to the camp and don't fight!" ”

Since you can't bargain for a decisive battle with the Chu army now, why not wait first? If Shanyue, Wuxi and other barbarians can attack the hinterland of Chu, if the Qi army can defeat the Chu army in Huainan, then the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang will inevitably have to retreat.

The situation on the Huainan battlefield is somewhat complicated and strange.

The Chu army has been under the city for more than half a month, but it has never launched a siege war, the Chu army does not attack the city, the Huainan army naturally does not dare to take the initiative to attack, and what is even more strange is the Qi army, the 100,000 Qi army has rushed to Liuxian County, a hundred miles north of Pengcheng, more than half a month ago, and then stopped, quite a bit of watching the fire from the other side.

Bi Shu was reading in the big tent, and Yu Ziqi, Zicheshi, and Xi Qilie suddenly came together.

Ziche Shi waved at Bi Shu, and said loudly: "General, I'm afraid it's not a way to keep stalemate like this, you need to know that the pressure on the king's side is not small, Liu Bang Lao'er has fully requisitioned more than 600,000 cavalry troops!" The king didn't say it, but he must be hoping in his heart that we can destroy Huainan as soon as possible, and then divide our troops to meet it. ”

Yu Ziqi also said: "Yes, General, there are 100,000 Qi troops watching on the side, and it is indeed inappropriate to attack Pengcheng, so it is better to leave a small number of troops to continue to besiege Pengcheng, thinking that it is suspicious, and the army will bypass Pengcheng, first break the Qi army in Liuxian, and then turn back to attack Pengcheng, do you think it is good?" ”

Bi Shu said indifferently: "What if the Qi army doesn't fight and retreats directly?" ”

Yu Ziqi was dumbfounded, but Xi Qilie said without thinking: "Then chase it." ”

Bi Shu shook his head and said, "It's easy to catch up, how to ensure the grain road in the rear?" ”

More than 200,000 troops, the daily need of grain and grass is a huge number, there are special baggage soldiers in the army, and there are also a large number of baggage carts and pack horses, but most of the baggage carts and pack horses must be used to transport all kinds of equipment, as well as arrows, flying spears and other consumable ordnance, for transporting grain baggage carts and pack horses are actually not much. …,

Therefore, the amount of military rations carried by the army cannot be too much, once the war lasts for more than half a month, it must be transferred from the rear, if the distance is not far, it can also be directly escorted, if the distance is long, then it is necessary to build one or more grain hoarding bases in the middle, the so-called grain road refers to these grain hoarding bases.

For example, now, Fuli County is the grain route of Bishu's army.

If the Huainan country has been destroyed, of course, you can choose another city in Huainan as a grain hoarding base, but now Pengcheng has not been captured, and there are more than 100,000 Huainan troops in the city.

If there are not many troops, they can still be maintained by grabbing grain, but the army of more than 200,000 will not work, and the Qi State has been sacked by Xiang Zhuang once three years ago, and it has not recovered until now.

Xi Qilie was speechless, and only after a long time did he say sullenly: "Then what should I do?" ”

"What should I do?" Bi Shu smiled faintly and said, "It's easy to do, one word, etc." ”

Xi Qilie scratched his head and said stupidly: "But General, when will it have to wait?" ”

"Don't wait too long." Bi Shu said and suddenly turned his head to look at the night sky outside the big tent, and said softly, "It should be soon, if there is no accident, it will be these two days......"

Liuxian, the camp of the Qi army.

Han He was sulking in the big tent, in the past half a month, he asked several times to continue to go south, to Pengcheng and the Chu army for a decisive battle, but was repeatedly stopped by the military advisor Zhao Yan, Han Que did not listen, but he was afraid of the advice of his father before the expedition, Han Xin repeatedly told him that all military affairs must respect the opinion of the military advisor Zhao Yan.

However, even so, Han Yan's patience is gradually lost, he has already made a decision, he will lead the army south tomorrow, no matter how much Zhao Yan stops him, it is impossible to change his determination.

At this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly hurriedly entered the big tent, bowed his hand and said, "Prince, your lord!" ”

Han Yan hurriedly knelt down and sat up, took the edict from Zhao Yan's hand with both hands, and hurriedly read it with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said urgently: "Military Master, Father ...... him"

Zhao Yan hurriedly raised his fingers and made a silent gesture.

Han Ran comprehended, and at that moment Huo Ran got up and shouted, "Someone!" ”

Su Weilang had already entered the voice and said, "What does the prince command?" ”

Han Yu slammed the knot, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, the army will be pulled out overnight, and the troops will be sent to Pengcheng!" ”
