Before dawn the next day, the Chu army began to cut bamboo rafts, more than 5,000 people worked together, the efficiency was still quite high, and more than 1,000 bamboo rafts had been set up before noon, and each bamboo raft could seat at least six people! Qin Ji took more than 100 female soldiers to take a lot of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, and it was the middle of April at this time, and the bamboo shoots in the mountains had grown tall.

Five thousand Chu soldiers then went down the river, and it only took two days to merge into the Huai River!

Although there are dangerous shoals in the middle, there are sometimes waterfalls, but fortunately, the bamboo raft is not heavy, and it is carried around and then down the river.

When you get to the Huai River, you naturally have to abandon the raft and walk, because you will go back to Shouhu Lake if you go downstream, if you go upstream, the water flow is too fast, and if you insist on going up, you can only drag the bamboo raft up, but the Chu army is here to fight after all, not a slender man who begs for a life along the river, so there is no need for this at all.

The 5,000 Chu army then abandoned the raft and walked, fortunately, the land of Huaisi has not yet entered the rainy season, Huaishui is still in the dry season, along the bare riverbed on both sides of the Huaishui, the march is not too difficult, only when encountering waterfalls, dangerous shoals and other road sections, the army needs to re-enter the mountain, open up the bushes and thorns in the mountain, and make a detour.

After traveling all the way west along the Huaishui River, after traveling for about 200 miles, there were finally people!

In the midst of the mountains, there is a large village on the edge of the slowly flowing Huai Shui, with hundreds of families!

Seeing the sudden appearance of the "Han army", the people in the village have to avoid, only the old and unable to walk will stay in the village, but they all look at them with fearful eyes, although this is the boundary of Nanyang County, but Nanyang County has not long returned to the Han Dynasty, the people here have not yet adapted to the rule of the Han State, and they also have a natural fear of the Han army.

Xiang Zhuang turned around and turned around, only to see that Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai, Yu Ziqi, Jing Qian, Gao Junior and other generals had all gathered around him, from the eyes of these generals, Xiang Zhuang saw an undisguised fiery color, of course Xiang Zhuang knew what this fiery mean, and knew what they wanted to do!

When they used to do this with Xiang Yu, they often did this!

Soon, more and more soldiers came out of the mountains and gathered around Xiang Zhuang.

The eyes of many soldiers have even shown the brilliance of a beast, and they have been running in the deep mountains and old forests for so many days, eating hard food and drinking cold food every day, and the bird has long faded out of their mouths! Now, they just want to eat a hot meal, drink a hot drink, and soak in a hot bath, and if there are women, it would be great!

Xiang Zhuang's eyes looked at Wei Yi again, and Wei Yi nodded imperceptibly.

In fact, Xiang Zhuang had already discussed this matter with Wei Yi repeatedly before leaving.

If you want to persevere, you must keep the morale of the soldiers high, so that they will not break down and dissolve their fighting spirit in the continuous vicious battles, then there is only one way, which is to completely stimulate the ** of the Chu army soldiers and turn them into a group of bloodthirsty beasts!

Of course, Xiang Zhuang knew the terrible consequences of doing this, but he had no other choice!

This is a troubled time, this is the world where a person eats people, being a sheep is destined to be eaten by wolves, only by being a wolf, you can live to the end! Xiang Zhuang has never had compassion for others, humanitarianism? To hell with it! This is ancient times, this is troubled times, this is not the civilized world of the 21st century, what humanity is talking about?

The world is big, and life is the greatest, if you want to survive, you can only do whatever it takes!

Suddenly, Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand, and then raised his index finger and pressed it forward quietly.

Suddenly, the five thousand Chu army was like a pack of wolves that smelled blood, screaming and pounced on Dacundian, looking at the soldiers of the Chu army surging away like a tide, Wei Yu's expression was solemn, but Wu She's eyes showed an unbearable color, this Dacundian, I am afraid that it is going to be over, but these people are innocent.

Xiang Zhuang's eyes were also cold, once he made a decision, he would never hesitate at all!

Besides, the Chu army did this not just to deal with supplies, or to stimulate fighting spirit through killing.

In reality, Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi also have another intention, an extremely sinister intention, that is, Qiao disguised himself as a Han army to burn and plunder all the way, so as to destroy the image of benevolence and righteousness that Liu Bang had created with great difficulty!

Chu Jun may not be able to deceive the wealthy clan and scholars by doing this, but he can deceive the vast majority of the people!

The people of this era are illiterate, they can't have any judgment, and they won't easily believe the words of others, they generally only believe their own eyes, when they witness the "Han army" burning, killing and plundering behavior, it will definitely spread around, so that Liu Bang's benevolent and righteous image in the people will also collapse!

As for the wealthy family and scholars, they may be able to guess the truth, but they may not be willing to speak for Liu Bang!

Liu Bang can also post a list around to refute the rumors, but will the people who have preconceived ideas believe it?

Not to mention the people of Liangdi, Qidi, and Zhaodi, they don't have the slightest sense of identity with Liu Bang, even the people of Guanzhong are not completely subordinated to Liu Bang, Liu Bang occupies Guanzhong for a short time after all! Even if there is a virtuous minister Xiao He, it is impossible to completely subjugate the people of Guanzhong in just five years!

Once a "Han army" suddenly appears at this time, Liu Bang's benevolent and righteous image will not collapse completely, but will also be severely weakened, and then the foundation of Liu Bang's rule in Guanzhong will be greatly shaken, and then there will be a situation where there will be no conscription of soldiers and no food!

What's even more powerful is that the burning, killing and plundering of this "Han army" in Liangdi, Qidi, and Zhaodi, once the local people's hatred of the Han army is aroused, it is inevitable that the wealthy clans and scholars in various places will not have different intentions, with the influence of these wealthy clans and scholars, when the time comes, who dares to say that Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Zhang Er will not have any ideas?

This plan is extremely vicious, because there is no solution at all, this is a conspiracy, and it is a conspiracy!

Just like at the beginning, Liu Bang listened to Chen Ping's suggestion, and sent Peng Yue to disguise the Chu army to go deep into Chu and wantonly burn and kill and plunder, which resulted in great damage to Chu and severely damaged Xiang Yu's ruling foundation in Dang County, Xue County and Surabaya County, indirectly causing Xiang Yu to be unable to get a strong man and a grain from these counties!

##########

In the dead of night, except for the scout team that dispersed to be responsible for guarding, the vast majority of the soldiers of the Chu army quickly entered a deep dream after eating and drinking enough and taking a hot bath, tomorrow, waiting for them will be a high-intensity long-distance rapid march, and it is not possible to nourish enough physical strength tonight.

Xiang Zhuang, Wei Yi and Wu Shi have not slept yet.

More than a dozen pine torches illuminate the whole grass hall as bright as day, a huge white cloth of eight feet square has been spread out on the straw mat in the middle, Wei Yi is using charcoal to draw many patterns on the white cloth, there are mountains and rivers, there are Heluo, there are city piers, there are roads, it is the topographic map of Nanyang, Chen County, Yingchuan, Sanchuan counties.

Wei Yu once served as the late Qin Taiwei, and formulated a grand strategy for Qin Shi Huang to wipe out the Six Kingdoms!

In the process of formulating the grand strategy, Wei Yu had to carefully study the terrain almost every day until late at night, so the general topographic map of the six countries of the Kanto region had almost been imprinted in his mind, and he could draw it at any time.

After the painting was finished, Gongsun went straight in and made a report: "General, inquire clearly!" After saying this, Gongsun took a breath and said: "The villain followed the general's orders and guarded the side of the road outside the village for nearly two hours, and finally waited for a few vendors, and these vendors said that this is the ground in Chengyang County, which is at the junction of Nanyang and Chen County!" ”

"Chengyang County? Over here! Wei Yi immediately drew a small circle on the white cloth with charcoal, and then pointed to the map and said to Xiang Zhuang, "General, more than 300 miles north from Chengyang is Wuyang, and 300 miles north from Wuyang is Aocang!" Moreover, there is a gallop road to go in the three hundred miles from Wuyang to Aocang, and the army is advancing rapidly, and it should be able to arrive within ten days! ”

"Ten days?" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said abruptly, "Just six hundred miles, four days is enough!" ”

"Four days?" Hearing this, Wei Yi was awe-inspiring, and said in a lost voice, "One hundred and fifty miles a day? General, this ......"

Wu Shi smiled quietly, and then said: "You don't know the military division, when the general first took charge of the army, he led five thousand people to flee from Dongcheng to Shouchun, and the mountain road of nearly three hundred miles was completed in only one day!" After saying this, Wu Shi said, "However, when we finally ran to Shouchun, there were only more than 3,000 of the more than 4,000 people left. ”

"There won't be so many people left behind this time." Xiang Zhuang continued, "First, the intensity of the march is not so great, only need to march more than 100 miles a day, and there is still a way to go from Wuyang to Aocang, and second, whether it is a veteran who escaped from the wall or a recruit from Jiangdong, all of them are strong men with strong bodies and excellent physical strength, and they should be able to hold on!" ”

Wu Shi nodded quietly when he heard this, the general was not wrong in what he said, the veterans who came out of the wall did not have to say, they had already experienced higher-intensity marches, and the march of more than 100 miles a day was naturally not a problem, as for the recruits from Jiangdong, they were basically strong young adults, and it was estimated that there was no big problem.

However, Wu Shi raised a new problem: "The question is, will the defenders of Nanyang and Yingchuan intercept us?" ”

"No, it won't." Wei Yi smiled quietly and said firmly, "Our army only marched all the way to the north, and we didn't stop along the way, our army was wearing the Han army uniform, and it didn't come into contact with people, so it would never be seen through in a short period of time!" Four days later, even if the defenders of the two counties saw through the camouflage of our army, we had already succeeded in the sneak attack on Aocang. ”

"Smack!" Xiang Zhuang got up and said in a deep voice, "It's decided!" "####ps#
