After spending less than half an hour on the high ground, the sky gradually became brighter.

By the thin dawn, Li Zuoche looked around, only to see that the front had completely become a piece of Zeguo, the radius was estimated to be hundreds of miles wide, and in the mist in the distance, Shouchun City was faintly visible, and its walls were flooded by nearly half! Seeing this scene, Li Zuoche's heart suddenly sank, the water was so deep, how could the army stationed outside the city be lucky?

Thinking back a few days ago, when he led the army to the battle, he was full of thought that he could wipe out the remnants of the Chu army in one fell swoop and more or less win a battle feat, but he never thought that the 50,000 army would be buried in the belly of the fish overnight! Thinking of this, Li Zuoche suddenly lost all his thoughts, and immediately pulled out his sword and wiped it off his neck.

"General, no, no!" The captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly rushed forward and held Li Zuoche tightly.

Li Zuoche sighed and said: "After this defeat, there are only 100 people left in the 50,000 army, what face do I have to go back to see the king?" ”

"General, think twice." The captain of the pro-soldier colonel persuaded sadly, "Victory or defeat is just a common thing, as long as the general is still alive, there will always be a day when he defeats the Chu army and captures Xiang Zhuang, but if the general kills himself today, he will never have this opportunity, and he will never be able to wash away today's shame!" ”

Li Zuoche was speechless for a long time, and the captain of the pro-soldier took the opportunity to snatch his sword.

When everyone was helpless and didn't know where to go, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted: "General, there is a small island over there, and there seem to be people on it!" ”

By this time, the sun had risen and the mist had gradually dispersed.

Only then did Li Zuoche and his entourage nearly 100 soldiers discover that there were dozens of scattered "isolated islands" scattered on the endless water, and the so-called "isolated islands" were originally just hills or dirt slopes, but now the entire Shouchun County has been flooded, and these hills or dirt slopes have become "isolated islands" in Zeguo.

The nearest island was only about a few zhang square, but there were no less than 100 people.

At this time, the people on the isolated island also discovered Li Zuoche and them, and then a tun chief wearing a leather jacket came out of the crowd, beckoning to this side again and again: "General, save us, save us......"

When everyone was at a loss, Li Zuoche found that there seemed to be a bamboo in the mountain, so he hurriedly ordered the captain of the army: "Quick, you take someone over there to cut down the bamboo and build a bamboo raft to save people!" ”

"No!" The captain of the pro-soldier school waved it, picked up fifty pro-soldiers and left.

In Shouchun City, the five thousand Chu troops are divided into hundreds of bamboo rafts, and they are already on standby!

Although he had been mentally prepared, he could see that the flood had almost submerged half of the height of the city wall, Xiang Zhuang could not help but be surprised, and this also brought trouble to the Chu army out of the city, because the four city gates were all flooded, as a last resort, Xiang Zhuang could only choose a section of the city wall that was already seriously damaged, and forcibly broke the wall.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at Wang Yangzeguo outside the city, Xiang Zhuang's mood couldn't help but be a little heavy.

Huaishui flooded, it is not only the Han army outside Shouchun City that suffers, Shouchun County, Quyang County and even the entire Jiujiang County are afraid that they will also suffer, although Jiujiang County is not a densely populated place, but at least hundreds of thousands of people will be displaced and become homeless refugees, these are all people who have nostalgia for their hometowns!

Wu Shi looked a little excited, looked at the vast water, and said loudly: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it, Zhong Liwu dug up the Huai Water from fifty miles away, and he was able to drown Shouchun!?" Hahaha, what about Li Zuoche's background? Didn't his army of 50,000 die in the belly of the fish? It's so exciting, it's so exciting! ”

Wei Yi, who had never taken the initiative to talk to Xiang Zhuang since he was taken captive, seemed to have been touched by a certain nerve, and suddenly said: "Did the general ever think that this flood would wash down, and the Han army outside the city would certainly not be spared, but the more than 200,000 people in the entire Jiujiang County would be homeless!" ”

Xiang Zhuang's expression was like iron, and he said coldly: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering, this is also a helpless thing!" ”

Wei Yi's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of imperceptible discoloration, thinking that this Xiang Zhuang is really a ruthless master, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Chu are not even taken to heart, although such a character, although it is inevitably ruthless, it is also a necessary quality for those who become great things, but this is much stronger than Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!

While speaking, the city wall that was already seriously damaged has been broken, and then Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi have already led their own people and horses, and they have crossed the city, and when Yu Ziqi led the army out of the city at the end, Xiang Zhuang specially advised: "General Ziqi, you don't have to chase and kill the remnants of the Han army." ”

"So what will be done?" Yu Ziqi couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Xiang Zhuang pointed to the scattered sacks floating on the water outside the city and said, "Do you see those sacks?" Your mission is to salvage the baggage of the Han army, especially the grain! Although these grains have been soaked in water, as long as they are brought back and fried, they can still be used as military rations! 50,000 Han troops, a lot of food! ”

"No!" Yu Ziqi suddenly agreed to the promise and immediately received the order.

At noon, Li Zuoche's own soldiers finally set up more than a dozen bamboo rafts, and more than 100 remnants of the Han army on the two isolated islands closest to each other had also been picked up and brought ashore.

Li Zuoche hurriedly asked his soldiers to rescue the dozen or so people on a bamboo raft, but it was Jin She and the accompanying soldiers.

Seeing Li Zuoche, Jin She couldn't help but feel sad, and said miserably: "General, it's over, it's all over, there are only a few people in the 20,000 army, and the rest are all gone." ”

Li Zuoche himself was also sad in his heart, but he still had to be patient to comfort Jin She: "General Jin, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, generals don't have to worry about it, besides, there has never been a winning general in this world, and the big soldiers Sun Wu and Wu Qi have also suffered defeats?" If you lose today, you will win it back tomorrow. ”

Although he said that, Li Zuoche was really at a loss in his heart.

Today's defeat is indeed a bit miserable, and I don't know if King Qi will trust him as much as before, let alone if there will be a chance to lead a large army in the future, perhaps, there will never be such an opportunity.

"General, look, Chu Bing!"

"It's really Chu Bing, Chu Bing is chasing after you!"

"General go quickly, hurry up, or you won't be able to go!"

When Li Zuoche was feeling dazed, his own soldiers suddenly shouted in panic, and when he looked back hurriedly, he saw that thousands of Chu troops had already supported hundreds of bamboo rafts and came over, at this time, the Chu army on the bamboo raft also found the remnants of the Han army on the shore, and immediately ignored the remnants of the Han army on the isolated island, turned the bamboo felling and killed it here.

"Let's go, let's go!" Li Zuoche knew that it was impossible to rescue the remnants of the trapped island, so he immediately took nearly 100 relatives and more than 100 remnants who were rescued and fled in a hurry in the direction of Quyang, but encountered Zhong Liwu's 800 young men on the way, and a scuffle, and finally Li Zuoche and Jin She only led dozens of people to flee back to Quyang.

Under the wall, the Han army camp.

Liu Bang once again summoned Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and other princes to set up a wine meeting in the big tent.

Since defeating Xiang Yu and destroying 100,000 Chu troops, for more than half a month, Liu Bang has had to feast almost every day for all the princes and kings and generals of the army, one is to reward them, and the other is to stabilize them, because the next thing is to divide the princes and then cut the military power, since they want to seize the military power, naturally they can no longer let the princes from all walks of life return to their respective fiefdoms with their troops.

The princes and kings of all walks of life and the generals of the army actually knew what Liu Bang was going to do, but they didn't care.

I have to say that Liu Bang, a scoundrel in the market, is still very good at winning people's hearts, not only Han Xin, but even Peng Yue, Yingbu, Han Wang Han Xin and others also believe that Liu Bang will really share the world with them, anyway, the whole world is a big guy, and the military power is not the same in anyone's hands? If there is really a war, doesn't Liu Bang have to send them to lead the troops?

There are so many civil and military generals, and Chen Ping and Zhang are like mirrors in their consciences.

Chen Ping knew that his qualifications were shallow, far from enough to threaten Liu Bang's status, so he had no pressure.

Zhang Liang knew that he was famous, and he was deeply feared by Liu Bang for what he had learned, so he was now thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, even if Liu Bang didn't let him go, then he had to think of a way to get rid of himself, such as concentrating on cultivation or something, in short, he must dispel Liu Bang's concerns, otherwise his life will be lost.

If there is no turning point in history, everything will definitely go according to Liu Bang's vision.

Han Xin will be renamed the king of Chu, he will happily hand over the military power, and then happily go to Chu to go to the country, Peng Yue will be named the king of Liang, Yingbu will be the king of Huainan, they will also hand over the military power, and then Liu Bang will arrange Chen Ping and Zhang Liang to persuade himself to be the emperor, Liu Bang will naturally resign again and again, and finally "reluctantly" ascend the throne and become the emperor.

It's a pity that this time, Liu Bang's overall plan is destined to be ruined by Xiang Zhuang's crossing public.

Liu Bang raised his wine buds, saluted Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and other princes from all walks of life, and was about to cover his sleeves and drink, when Xiahou Ying suddenly stumbled into the big tent and shouted miserably: "The king is not good, Quyang Fei rode to report, Li Zuoche and Jin She were defeated in Shouchun, and the 50,000 army is all over, all over!" ”

"Huh!?" Liu Bang was taken aback when he heard this, and the wine also fell on the table, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zhang Er, Han Wang Han Xin and others also looked at each other. ######ps: Thank you for the generous rewards of book friends such as Indifferent 520, Dao Zhen, 1314 Cordial and Kind, ╆ Nalan Buyi, Innocent Little Pig, Autumn Wind Falling Leaves, Dugu Siqin, Song Bingshu, Mo Ben is Dao, Wipe Sword Heartache and other book friends.
