Chapter 35: Liu Bang Enters the Mountain
Yin Fu unfortunately died in battle, although Liu Bang hated Xiang Zhuang so much that he gritted his teeth, he still didn't pay much attention to it, but soon, Liu Bang understood Xiang Zhuang's ruthlessness!
Two days later, the Third Route Han Army was broken by the Chu Army, and the main general was killed!
Four days later, the Fourth Route Han Army was broken by the Chu army, and the main general was killed!
Seven days later, the Fifth Route Han Army was broken by the Chu Army again, and the main general was killed again!
In less than ten days, the Chu army has successively broken the five-way Han army, killing more than 10,000 soldiers of the Han army, at the same time, the armies of the Qi army, the Liang army, the Zhao army, the Han army and other princes are unscathed, and even the army of Zhou Yin, who rebelled against Chu and surrendered to Han, has not been attacked in any way!
For a time, the Han soldiers in the mountains were in danger, but rumors spread among the allied forces.
Some people say that Xiang Zhuang and the 5,000 Chu army have actually starved to death in the deep mountains, and now it is only the powerful ghosts they have turned into to kill and take revenge, otherwise, why would they never see them come out to attack the Han army during the day?
Some people also say that Xiang Zhuang has become a mandrill, and now he is running faster than a leopard, but he can tear the tiger and lion with his bare hands, and more than 10,000 people in the Wulu Han army were all killed by him alone, as for the 5,000 Chu army, they were all killed by him half a month ago, and now where is there any Chu army, only Xiang Zhuanghua's mandrill is avenging Xiang Yu.
There are also people who say that Han Xin, the king of Qi, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and Yingbu, the king of Huainan, have secretly concluded an alliance with the Chu army, and are ready to kill the army of the king of Han in the Dabie Mountain.
Rumors are rife in the army, and the most direct consequence is that the morale of the army fluctuates and the thinking is confused.
In addition, the leaders and generals of the coalition armies of various countries do not know the true thoughts of their own kings, as the saying goes, there is no ground, maybe the rumors are true? Therefore, one by one, they all became undecided, and in the end, there was even a strange situation in which the Han army was slaughtered by the Chu army more than ten miles away, while the rest of the ** teams were unable to save themselves!

Outside the mountain, the Han army camp.
Another stretcher was placed in front of Liu Bang's big tent, counting Fan Xu, this is already the sixth!
Looking at the five stretchers lined up in front of him, as well as the five familiar faces on the stretchers, Liu Bang's face was so gloomy that he could almost scrape frost!
Not far away, stood Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and other princes.
Except for Han Xin, every prince seemed a little nervous, a little worried, they already knew what happened in the mountains, things would become like this, it was really unexpected, this can only be said that Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er is too insidious, too vicious, and even sacrificed a trick that only kills the Han army and does not move the princes' army, it is too fucking evil!
After a long time, Liu Bang's face finally eased, and he said to the princes from all walks of life: "Lone knows, I don't blame you for this, this is all Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer's trick!" After saying this, Liu Bang said again, "Also, withdraw all the elite soldiers who have entered the mountain, and then transfer another group of elite soldiers into the mountain to clear and suppress." โ
"No!" The princes of all walks of life agreed one after another and received the order.
Liu Bang knows very well that rumors will never arise for no reason, and someone must have spread them!
And this person must be one of the princes of all walks of life, at least also their staff or disciples, but now is not the time to pursue this matter!
Rumors have spread about the elite soldiers in the mountains, and the military rations have almost been eaten, so it is almost time to transfer them back, anyway, there are many troops under the command of Liu Bang and the princes from all walks of life, so transfer out a batch, and then transfer it in! However, the strategy of encircling and suppressing the Chu army has to be changed, and you can't always be beaten passively like this, right?
At that moment, Liu Bang entered the account, and Zhang Liang and Chen Ping also followed silently.
Liu Bang silently sat down and knelt, and Zhang Liang and Chen Ping also knelt down at the bottom.
After a long time, Zhang Liangcai shook his bow and said to Liu Bang: "King, the minister wants to go into the mountain." โ
"You're going into the mountains?" Liu Bang was stunned and said, "The mountains are bitter and dangerous, so you don't have to go, right?" โ
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "King, if the minister does not enter the mountain, without on-the-spot inspection, he will not know what is happening in the mountain, and he will not know what is happening in the mountain, and the minister will not be able to think of a countermeasure." โ
"That's right." Liu Bang slapped his thigh and said categorically, "Lone will also go into the mountain with you!" โ
Liu Bang enters the mountain, there is bound to be a large team of personal soldiers to guard, although the situation in the mountains is complicated, but the Chu army wants to threaten Liu Bang's safety is extremely difficult, at the moment Zhang Liang nodded and said: "The king wants to enter the mountain, and it can even boost the morale of our army, but it is still necessary to bring more personal soldiers, just in case!" โ
"Of course." Liu Bang said, "Lonely let Xiahou Ying lead 20,000 elite soldiers to accompany him. โ
"Without further ado, too late will change." Zhang Liang said again, "King, how about entering the mountain today?" โ
Liu Bang sat up and shouted: "Xiahou Ying, take 20,000 elite soldiers, and follow Gu into the mountain!" โ
##########
In the depths of the mountains, more than 4,000 Chu troops have returned to Dazhai in the depths of the mountains to rest.
In the past seven days, the Chu army has continuously broken through the five Han armies, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and the prestige has been greatly inspired, and the Han armies of all walks of life in the mountains have been shaken, and the coalition forces of various countries are also rumors, but the enemy has been killed by 1,000 and the self-loss is 800, although the Chu army has won successive battles, but there have also been a lot of casualties, and now there are only more than 4,000 people left!
Moreover, these more than 4,000 people, both in terms of energy and physical strength, are already almost at the limit.
Is it a joke to carry out high-intensity marching and high-intensity combat in the deep mountains and old forests? In the final analysis, the soldiers of the Chu army are also people, not machines, they will be tired and will slack off.
Therefore, Xiang Zhuang must take them back to Dazhai for the necessary rest.
Back to Dazhai, first take a comfortable hot bath, then forget the cold and astringent dry food, eat a hot meal, and then, there are women's hot delicate bodies waiting for them, and when they soothe the tense nerves in the warm arms of women, they will immediately become energetic and murderous!
In two days at most, the Chu army will start a new round of killing!
##########
Two days later, Liu Bang personally led 20,000 elite soldiers into the mountains.
After entering the mountains, Liu Bang knew that the march in the mountains was really hard, although most of the army marched along the canyons, streams and other gentle places, but because there was no road in the mountains, the journey was still extremely difficult, and many places had to build bridges and pave roads so that mules and horses could pass through, I really don't know how the Chu army marched in the old forest? And how do they carry their baggage?
Liu Bang naturally would not have thought that the current Chu army has no other baggage except weapons, armor and ten days of dry food, which is like the Han army, which not only has to carry tent equipment, but also carries iron kettle cooking utensils, as well as a large number of mule carts to carry military rations, such a large army, can only march along the canyon stream, and cannot cross the mountains and mountains at all.
When the army entered a certain river bay in the mountains, it was almost evening, and most of the soldiers were exhausted, so Liu Bang ordered to camp on the spot, and the 20,000 Han troops were busy.
In less than half an hour, Liu Bang's big tent had been set up first.
There were already soldiers in the big tent to lay out the felt mat carried with the army, and set up a table, and even scalded water and wine, as well as just heated cooked beef, Liu Bang immediately invited Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to the table and said: "The ovary, Chen Ping, come, drink a few wines first, warm your body, this mountain wind is really strong, after walking for half a day, the lonely capital is about to be frozen." โ
Zhang Liang and Chen Ping waved at Liu Bang, and then immediately raised the wine buds and covered their faces with their sleeves.
After a few drinks, people gradually became ambiguous, and Zhang Liangcai said: "King, the minister has found something." โ
"Oh, there's already a discovery in the ovary?" Liu Bang suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and Chen Ping was also looking forward to it.
Zhang Liang said: "On the way into the mountains, the minister has been thinking that if the Chu army dares to enter the old forest, and can go over the mountains and mountains, it will inevitably be impossible to carry the baggage, but without the baggage, you can't make a fire to cook, how can you live without eating?" Along the way, the minister was puzzled, until the minister accidentally picked this up on the road. โ
With that, Zhang Liang took out a broken sack from his sleeve that was several feet long but only a few inches wide.
"Isn't this just a broken sack?" Liu Bang was puzzled and said, "What can you explain?" โ
"King, this is no ordinary sack!" Zhang Liang raised the broken sack in his hand and said, "This is the military food bag used by the Chu army to hold military rations, when the minister picks it up, there is still a little military ration in the bag, which has been fried, and you can eat it if you catch it!" The Chu army can drill into the old forest, and it can also climb mountains and mountains, relying on this small sack! โ
"Fried military rations!?" Chen Ping suddenly realized, "So that's the case, the Chu army actually fried the military rations, and then each soldier only carried their own rations, so that the baggage vehicles used to transport the military rations would not be used, and the army's ability to move would also be greatly improved, and it would be nothing to cross the mountains and mountains!" โ
Liu Bang quickly figured it out, and couldn't help but nod his head in praise at the moment: "Awesome!" โ
After saying this, Liu Bang said again: "The Chu army is not dragged down by baggage, no wonder they dare to drill into the old forest, and they can also climb the mountains and mountains, but after they divided the troops, how did they complete the assembly?" โ
Zhang Liang said: "This minister doesn't know yet, but he will know when Chu Jun starts again." โ
"Then wait." Liu Bang said, "If you are lonely, you want to see, how long can Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer be arrogant?" โ
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "King, the minister has a hunch that Xiang Zhuang is likely to have received the help of a master. โ
"The minister feels the same way." Chen Ping immediately echoed, "Your Majesty, Xiang Zhuang used to be just a reckless man, but since Xiang Yu's soldiers were defeated, it was like a different person, first defeated Fan Xu, then broke Li Zuoche, and then continuously defeated my five-way elite soldiers in the mountains. โ
Zhang Liang said again: "What is especially terrible is that the elite soldiers of the five roads that have been broken are all the army of the king, and the armies of the princes of all walks of life are unscathed, and the Chu army is clearly deliberately weakening the military strength of the king, trying to cause an imbalance of military strength between the king and the princes of all walks of life. โ
Liu Bang was shocked and said: "There are not many such masters in the world, right?" โ
"Not much." Zhang Liang waved his hand and said solemnly, "Except for Fan Zeng, there is only that one!" โ
"Fan Zeng is indeed powerful, at the Hongmen banquet back then, Lone almost lost his life, but this old man has been dead for a long time!" Liu Bang said this, and said, "Who is the left?" โ
"Captain Qin!" Zhang Liang said word by word, "Wei Yi!
