Chapter 139: The Relics of the Late Qin

When Xiang Zhuang worshiped the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the foot of Lishan Mountain, Gao Chu's Nufeng Battalion had already marched day and night to the vicinity of Shangyi, and it was less than a hundred miles away from Wuguan.

The empty mountains are silent, and more than 1,000 veterans of the Nufeng Battalion are marching on the rugged mountain roads.

Looking at the secluded valleys and dense primeval forests on both sides of the mountain road, the anxiety in Gao Chu's heart became tighter and tighter.

In reality, since passing the pass with the Nufeng Battalion, Gao Chuchu has already had a vague uneasiness in his heart, and the further he goes, the closer he gets to Wuguan, the more intense this feeling of uneasiness in Gao Chu's heart becomes, as if there is a huge trap in front of him waiting for his Nufeng Battalion to drill into it.

However, the task that Xiang Zhuang gave to Gao Chu and the Nufeng battalion was to capture Wuguan in the shortest possible time, and then nail it there like a nail until Xiang Zhuang's army arrived! Therefore, even though he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, Gao Chu still did not stop, so much so that he kept urging the Nufeng Battalion to speed up the march.

During the march, a veteran complained while munching on dry food: "Damn, this road is really remote enough, and I haven't even hit a ghost shadow after walking so far." โ€

The veteran said that he had no intention, but when Gao Chu heard it, his heart was shocked.

Gao Chu finally knew why he had a vague bad feeling in his heart after passing the pass, because since he passed the pass, the Nufeng camp had never met a pedestrian again! This situation is by no means normal, although the road from Wuguan to Guanzhong is not good, but it is not that there is not a single peddler and pawn, right?

The passage over there in Wuguan is obviously blocked, and it is likely to be the Han army!

Gao Chu didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered: "Order, the whole army stops advancing!" โ€

At the sound of Gao Chu's order, the soldiers of the Nufeng Battalion, who were slowly advancing forward, stopped one after another, and then quickly entered the roadside valley to hide and rest under the reprimand of the junior colonels at all levels.

Gao Chu couldn't rest, and personally led more than ten sharp soldiers to Wuguan.

In reality, Gao Chu's military order was issued in a very timely manner, because less than thirty miles ahead, Lu Tai was rushing towards the direction of Yaoguan with an army of 20,000 troops, of course, it was said that it was a rapid advance, and the marching speed of the Han army was actually seventy or eighty miles a day, which was absolutely incomparable with the terrifying speed of more than two hundred miles a day of the Nufeng Battalion.

This is not only because of the quality of the soldiers, but also because the Nufeng battalion is lightly armed and rushed, and each soldier only takes care of dry food, while the Han army carries a lot of baggage and cannot go fast at all.

Of course, Lu Tai is not really going to Yaoguan.

Lu Tai believes that although Wuguan is not as majestic and towering as Hangu Pass, the terrain before and after the pass is not as wide as that of Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, because of the wide terrain of Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, the enemy army can put in tens of thousands of troops when attacking the city, but the terrain before and after Wuguan is very narrow, and the enemy army can put in a maximum of 1,000 people each time they attack the city.

Therefore, it seems a bit wasteful for 40,000 troops to guard the pass, and it is more than enough to have 20,000 troops stationed at the pass.

Although Liu Bang gave Lu Ze the task of only plugging Wuguan, but Lu Tai obviously will not be satisfied, if there is a chance to destroy the main force of Xiang Zhuang's Chu army under Wuguan in one fell swoop, Lu Tai will never let go, after obtaining Lu Ze's consent, Lu Tai will take 20,000 troops north out of Wuguan, ready to find a hidden valley to hide.

Lu Tai's use of troops is also ruthless, he is ready to wait for the Chu army to rush to Wuguan, and then suddenly kill from behind the Chu army's buttocks, trapping the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang under Wuguan! In this way, the great merit of destroying Xiang Zhuang and the remnants of the Chu army fell on him Lu Tai, and with this military exploit, he Lu Tai could be crowned a marquis without relying on his father Yu Yin.

As soon as he thought that the Lu family might have two marquis, Lu Tai's heart couldn't help but become eager.

This is also reasonable, just ask the men in the world, who doesn't want to be a marquis? Lu Tai even wants to tear the earth and seal the king, but this is a little far away.

Besides, Gao Chu, with more than ten sharp soldiers, is slowly advancing forward.

Suddenly, a vague neighing sound of horses came into Gao Chu's ears, and at that moment, Gao Chu Huo Ran raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Stop, all stop!" โ€

More than a dozen sharp men stopped one after another.

Gao Chu looked at the nearby terrain, and then climbed a lone peak on the right with more than ten sharp soldiers.

When Gao Chu and more than ten sharp soldiers went up to the top of the lonely peak, and then looked down to the south, they all gasped one by one, only to see that in the valley south of the lonely peak, the Han army was marching forward, the Han army lined up in a four-way column and marched forward, the forward had entered the foot of the lonely peak, but the rear team was several miles away, not to mention thousands of people!

"General, how can there be a Han army here?" A sharp man said awe-inspiringly, "And there are so many people?!" โ€

"Yes, didn't Liu Bang's army's army turn out to be in Qidi? Now at most, I'll rush to Luoyang, why did he suddenly appear in Wuguan? Another Rui Shi also said, "It's a big trouble now, there are thousands of Han troops seen here, and I don't know how many people have not come out of the mountains behind, we only have a thousand people, how can this battle be fought?" โ€

"I'm afraid that it's only a part of the Han army here!" Gao Chu said awe-inspiringly: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a Han army in Wuguan!" This martial pass, with only a thousand elite soldiers of our Nufeng Battalion, will definitely not be able to take it down! After saying this, Gao Chu shouted in a low voice, "Let's go, let's go back!" โ€

Xianyang, the prime minister's mansion.

Under the guidance of Jin Xiang, the two strong men walked into the hall proudly, and Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yu hurriedly got up to greet each other.

When Xiang Zhuang Dingqing looked at it, he saw that the big man on the left was more than nine feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger skin skirt around his waist, an iron tire bow on his shoulder, two arms but luolu outside, his big arms and small arms were full of bulging muscles, and his neck was so thick that he let go of others and pinched it constantly, so that even the hair on his head stood up, and the fierce smell was fully revealed!

On the right side of the big man is an elegant young man, eight feet tall, about twenty years old.

"In the lower west beggar, see the general!" The strong man took the lead in clenching his fists.

"In the lower division, see the general." The elegant young man also gave up.

"Xiqi Yishi, Ziche Yishi, please sit down." Xiang Zhuang returned the salute and invited the two to sit down.

Since the news of Xiangzhuang's worship of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor spread, the next day, there have been successive Qin relics to come to defect.

There is no doubt that Xiang Zhuang's move has won the favor of the late Qin relics, because since the death of Qin, all the princes have entered the customs, but none of them have a positive attitude towards the Great Qin Empire and the First Emperor, Xiang Zhuang is not only the first person to affirm the Qin Empire and the First Emperor of Qin, but also the first prince to worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!

Of course, Xiang Zhuang is not yet a prince king, but this is only a matter of time.

If there is really a revival of Great Chu, the king of Chu can only and must be Xiang Zhuang.

As mentioned above, the wealthy families have strong political speculation, even if a mud tui son like Chen Sheng rebels, there will also be a large number of wealthy families to follow, so when Xiang Zhuang released goodwill to the old Qin relics in Guanzhong, saying that he would inherit the legacy of the Great Qin Dynasty in its entirety, these wealthy families could no longer be calm.

In just two days, there are no less than twenty wealthy families who have come to defect!

Of course, there are still not many talents who really make sรจ, but at least they are better than nothing.

Xiang Zhuang had a little conversation with Xi Qilie and Ziche Shi, and he already knew that Xi Qilie was a descendant of the Xiqi clan of the old family of Qin State, and Ziche Shi was even more famous.

While speaking, Jin Xiang came in again to report: "General, there is a Zheng County Baili clan asking to see." โ€

"Barry's?" Without waiting for Xiang Zhuang to reply, Xi Qilie quietly changed his words, "Could it be the three brothers and sisters of Baili Xian, Baili Mao, and Baili Yishui?" After saying this, Xi Qilie asked Jin Xiang again, "Little brother, is there a white-clothed showman, a young strong man, and a handsome little lady among them?" โ€

Jin Xiang said: "There are hundreds of people outside, I didn't pay attention to it." โ€

"Hundreds?" The sub-driver smiled lightly: "That must be Baili's doorman, there is no doubt about it." โ€

Xiang Zhuang looked at Xi Qilie, and then at Ziche Shi, and said with interest: "The two righteous men know Baili's? โ€

Without waiting for Xi Qilie and Zicheshi to answer, Wei Yu had already replied first: "The general doesn't know, this Baili clan is a famous family in Guanzhong, and the ancestor is the virtuous minister Baili Xi when Mu Gong, and when he was filial piety, Baili moved to Zhengyi, because he had a good way to do business and had rich family resources, so hundreds of guests gathered under his door. โ€

Ziche Shi Chong Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi respectively shook their heads, and said respectfully: "General, old lady, there are three brothers and sisters in Baili's generation, the eldest brother Baili Xian, the prime minister's talent, the second brother Baili Mao, the courage of Wanfu, and the younger sister Baili Yishui is a famous beauty in Guanzhong, hehe." โ€

"Oh?" Xiang Zhuang said happily, "In this case, how about inviting two righteous men to go out with this general?" โ€

Xi Qilie and Zicheshi naturally had no opinions, and Xiang Zhuang and his party walked out of the hall and came straight to the gate.

Outside the gate, Baili's four hundred doormen and hundreds of cows, horses and mule carts almost blocked the entire street, when Xiang Zhuang hurriedly walked out of the gate, at a glance saw the bustling crowd in front of the Baili Xian, dressed in white, holding a feather fan, personable, outstanding but outstanding, for a moment, Xiang Zhuang almost wondered if Zhuge Liang had crossed over?

Xiang Zhuang's previous life has been seen in the old version and the new version of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention the success or failure of these two versions of the Three Kingdoms, but the image of Baili Xian in front of him is exactly the same as Zhuge Liang played by the old version of Teacher Tang!ใ€‚
