Liu Bang was furious at Luo Jia in the big tent: "The Chu army actually quietly moved the crossbow to the naval warship, why don't your scout cavalry know anything about it?" Huh?! Are your thousands of scout cavalry all decorations? Huh?! It is said that you Luo Jia has a good way of leading the troops, and in the eyes of the widows, you are a rice bucket, a rice bucket! ”

It was already night, and the daytime battle was already over.

Of course, the result was not surprising, the Han army suffered heavy losses from the crossbow boats of the Chu army, and even the catapults of the Han army could not effectively suppress the crossbow boats of the Chu army, because the crossbow boats of the Chu army advanced and retreated freely on the surface of the Chushui River, and it was obviously unrealistic to completely block the nearby Chushui River with only 200 catapults in the Han military region.

It is impossible for Liu Bang not to be angry, just on the first day, the Han army lost more than 20,000 infantry, all the wells plus more than 30,000 Hu cavalry, and what is worse is that the remaining more than 50,000 Hu cavalry have completely lost their fighting spirit, whether it is the Yueshi people, or the Hutu people or the evil people, it is impossible to take the lead in the Han army.

In Liu Bang's view, the reason why there are such heavy losses today is entirely because Luo Jia's scout team was negligent, they failed to detect the arrival of the main force of the Chu State Navy in time, let alone the Chu Army secretly moved all the crossbows to the Navy warship, which caught the Han army by surprise.

"Rice bucket, you are a rice bucket!" Liu Bang scolded and spitted.

Luo Jia closed his eyes, and didn't dare to reach out to wipe it even though Liu Bang's saliva sprayed on his face.

In fact, Luo Jia is not to blame for this at all, because no matter how arrogant the scout cavalry of the Han army is, it is impossible to bully near the Chu army's camp, as for the movement on the water, his scout cavalry can't run into the river, right? Therefore, it is impossible for him to know what Chu Jun is doing near the camp in the dark.

But Luo Jia also knew that because of the fiasco during the day, King Han had a fire in his heart. It was impossible for him to vent his anger on the heads of the general Lu Tai, the hussar general Zhou Guanfu, and Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Zhou Bo, so he Luo Jia was unlucky to become the only punching bag for the Han King.

"Get out!" Liu Bang was tired of scolding, so he kicked Luo Jia to the ground, Luo Jia got up with a disgraced face, and walked out of the big tent with a brow, as the general of the dead Qin, Li Bi and Luo Jia have always had a very low status in the Han army, if it were not for the fact that there was no one in the Han army to train cavalry. They don't know where they've been kicked into.

The whole big tent fell into a dead silence, and no one would touch Liu Bang's moldy head at this time.

Lu Tai's face was particularly unsightly, when Liu Bang trained Luo Jia just now, he felt a hot pain on his face, he knew that Liu Bang was not so much training Luo Jia, but rather training him, but Lu Tai didn't want to justify anything, he was indeed responsible for the fiasco of the Han army today. If he hadn't rashly thrown himself into Hu Qi to launch a strong attack, the losses would never have been so heavy.

Liu Bang was tired. He sat down on the seat, then looked around at the civil and military ministers who were sitting on the left and right, and sighed: "The war is so unfavorable, the widow is very worried, but I don't know if you Aiqing has a good plan to turn the situation around?" ”

Zhou Bo, Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu, Xiahou Ying and other generals were all silent, Chen Ping was silent for a while, only Zhang Liang knelt and sat up. He bowed his hand to Liu Bang and said, "King, you have a plan." Can block the crossbow ship of the Chu army! ”

Compared with the dullness and depression of Liu Bang's big tent, Xiang Zhuang's big tent was full of laughter.

"General Jiang Ji, and drink this full." Jiang Ji, the captain of Xiangzhuang Chonglou Ship, raised the wine bud from afar, and Jiang Ji, who was sitting at the end of the seat, quickly followed suit, and then drank the liquor in the wine bud with his hand to cover his face, and the generals in the army sitting on the ground on the left and right sides let out hearty laughter one after another, praising Jiang Ji for his good drinking. …,

Xiang Zhuang put down the wine and said, "After suffering such a big loss during the day, Liu Bang Lao'er must be scolding his mother." ”

Huan Chu said with a big grin: "If the minister is Liu Bang's old son, he also has to scold his mother, one day, this is only one day, and the Han army has lost forty or fifty thousand horsemen!" Liu Bang now has a total of more than 500,000 horses, if he follows this loss method, he will last for ten days and eight days at most, he will be a real loner, hehe. ”

"Oh, and don't be careless." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Although Liu Bang is just a scoundrel who doesn't know how to learn, but Zhang Liang and Chen Ping under his account are all wise men who are not born in the world, and the reason why the Han army suffered a big loss today is because they don't know the benefits and disadvantages of the crossbowboat, and now that they know, they will definitely try to counteract." ”

As soon as the words fell, Hu Yan suddenly stepped into the tent and said to Xiang Zhuang: "King, the scouts have reported that a large group of Han cavalry left the camp overnight and went to the southeast!" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and asked, "What about the scouts?" ”

Huyan said: "It's outside the tent." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Let him in." ”

"Whoa!" Hu Yan received the order to go out of the tent, and soon led a sturdy, heroic-looking Chu army colonel into the big tent, as soon as the little colonel entered the tent, he knelt down on one knee at Xiang Zhuang, and arched his hand and said: "The villain white spear, see the king!" ”

"No courtesy." Xiang Zhuang said solemnly, "White spear, how many cavalry of the Han army are there in the southeast?" ”

Bai Spear stood up again and said in a deep voice: "King, according to the villain's estimate, there are more than 50,000 horsemen!" ”

"Fifty thousand rides?!" Xiang Zhuang was taken aback suddenly, and immediately got up and walked to the screen on the north side of the big tent, Bai Lixian, Xiang Tuo and others also got up one after another, standing behind Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang looked at the map and pondered for a moment, looked back at Bai Lixian, and said in a deep voice, "Ziliang, does Liu Bang Lao'er want to intercept my grain road?" ”

There are more than 400,000 Chu troops stationed in the Chushui River Bay, and a large amount of grain and grass must be consumed every day, and it is impossible for the army to carry too much grain and grass, so it is inevitable to hoard grain and grass in Ruoxian County, which is less than 100 miles away from Nanyang County, and almost every few days, the Chu army will release grain from the Ruoxian camp, and once Ruoxian is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ruoxian is located in the southeast of the Shuishui battlefield, less than 100 miles away.

"Intercept my grain?" Xiang Tuo said coldly, "Liu Bang, Lao'er, this is wishful thinking. ”

The so-called army has not moved, grain and grass first, the significance of grain and grass for an army is self-evident, so whether it is Liu Bang or Xiang Zhuang, they are very concerned about protecting their own grain routes, the Han army because of the absolute superiority of the cavalry, so the grain and grass hoarding in the cavalry can quickly arrive, and the navy can not reach the county.

Because the Chu army has an absolute superiority in the navy, it chose the grain hoarding base in Ruoxian, which is surrounded by water on three sides, and Ruoxian is not only surrounded by water on three sides, but also dug a moat more than four zhang wide in the west where it is connected with the land, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and once Ruoxian is attacked by the Han army, the Chu water army can quickly rush to help.

Bai Lixian groaned: "King, this matter is a little strange, why did Liu Bang suddenly remember to intercept my grain?" ”

Xiang Zhuang frowned and pondered for a moment, and said categorically: "No matter what is wrong, if the county is an important land for grain hoarding and the foundation is located, there must be no mistakes!" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said to Jiang Ji again, "General Jiang Ji, you will take the navy to the south and gallop to help Ruoxian overnight. ”

"Whoa!" Jiang Ji shook his bow and took the order.

Not long after the Chu navy left the Hewan camp, the meteor scout sent the flight report to Liu Bang's account.

Liu Bang, who was drinking with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er is still in the scheme!" ”

Zhang Liang stroked his willow beard under his chin, and said indifferently: "King, this is the enemy must be saved, and it is for Yangmou, so strictly speaking, Xiang Zhuang did not have a plan, but he didn't know that we still had a backhand." ”…,

Chen Ping also echoed: "What Brother Zifang said is extremely true, Xiang Zhuang chose the hoarding place in Ruoxian, obviously to use the power of the water army, which is exactly the same as the king set up the land of grain hoarding in Sui County, the reason is exactly the same, if the county is in danger this time, Xiang Zhuang sent the water army to the rescue, it is also inevitable, if he does not save it, if the county is lost, the Chu army will be finished!" ”

Liu Bang nodded, and said, "Ofan, there won't be any Chu army scouts who will find out Shengzhi's whereabouts, right?" ”

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, the three thousand elite horsemen of the hussar general are not vegetarians, and it is almost impossible for the scouts of the Chu army to escape their hunting. ”

Under the dark night sky, Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu were leading 60,000 Han horsemen to the south.

Lu Tai stopped his horse and raised his right hand, and the cavalry following behind him slowly stopped.

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, a young general rode his horse to Lu Tai, and arched his hand on the horse's back and said: "General, all the Chu army scouts within ten miles of the surrounding area have been cleared. ”

This young player is none other than Lu Tai's cousin Lu Ze.

Lu Tai snorted, then turned back to Zhou Guanfu and said, "Shengzhi, let's break up here." ”

Zhou Guanfu nodded, clasped his fists at Lu Tai and said, "It's okay, then don't leave it at that." ”

When Zhou Guanfu turned his head and shouted at the three thousand elite horsemen who were accompanying him: "Put out the torch and go!" ”

The next moment, Zhou Guanfu turned his horse and galloped towards the east, and the three thousand elite horsemen also threw away the torches in their hands and followed Zhou Guanfu into the endless darkness.

It wasn't until the figures of Zhou Guanfu and the three thousand elite horsemen completely disappeared under the night sky that Lu Tai gently stepped forward and instructed his cousin Lu Zedao: "Order, the whole army continues to go south and go to Ruoxian!" ”

"Whoa!" Lu Ze responded suddenly, turned his head and yelled, "The general has an order, and the whole army will continue to go south to Ruoxian." ”

Suddenly, the cavalry frenzy that had just stopped started again, and under the dark night sky, like a winding fire dragon, swimming in the southeast direction......
