In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

The battle of Vahan has also entered the most critical moment.

The 50,000 army of Xiang Zheng, the prince of Chu, had already advanced to the Pu team on the east bank of the river in half a month, but the 30,000 army of the Han veteran Li Zuoche had already made a strict defense on the line from Xiayang to Linjin on the west bank of the river, building a beacon tower every 200 steps, building piers every five miles, garrisoning 500, and building a fort every 20 miles, with a garrison of 2,000.

In addition, Li Zuoche personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to be stationed in Haoyangyi between Yangxia and Linjin, and no matter where the Chu army launched the battle of crossing the river, the Han army was able to arrive in the shortest possible time.

Looking at the defense map of the Han army provided by Xuan Yiwei, Xiang Zheng frowned unconsciously.

Deputy General Gao Lang usually boasts of being resourceful and resourceful, but he is also at a loss for a while.

After muttering at the map for a long time, Xiang Zhengcai said: "This Li Zuoche is really cautious enough." ”

"That's true." Gao Lang bowed his head lightly, and said, "I heard my father talk about this person, it is said that the battle of Jing Majesty This person once suggested to Zhao Wang Xie at that time to divide his troops to intercept the Han army's grain road, but unfortunately Zhao Wang Xie was incompetent and did not adopt his suggestion, otherwise, I am afraid that there would be no later battle of Jing Majesty, and the situation of the struggle between Chu and Han will be very different." ”

Xiang Zhengdao: "My father also told me about this person, that is the battle of Xiaxia, our army was newly defeated, the first king was newly mourned, and the state of Chu was the most critical, fortunately Shouchun battle, my father defeated Li Zuoche, which led to the follow-up Meishan War, and then the state of Chu was able to turn the crisis into peace, and my father once said that he won the battle of Shouchun and was really lucky. ”

Gao Lang said: "Although Li Zuoche is not well-known, he can be so valued by the king and Han Xin, the king of Qi, which shows that he is not in vain, Zihe, it seems that you have met a real opponent this time." ”

Xiang Zheng smiled and said, "As long as it's not Han Xiang Baimo, no matter how difficult it is, you always have to try." ”

"Hehe, if the opposite side is really Han Xiang Baimo leading the troops, then we don't have to attack, just go directly to the deep ditch barrier." Gao Lang said with a smile, "Although this Li Zuoche is also difficult, it is always a lot worse than Bai Mo, let's sum it up well, and we can always find a way to defeat him." ”

Xiang Zheng nodded lightly, and said, "Can the rest of the armies make new progress?" ”

Gao Lang replied: "It's still like that, the general is still confronting Shangyong and Han Prime Minister Baimo, and the 20,000 Shu soldiers of the Qingche General's Ziche Division are blocked on the Golden Bull Road, and the general Zhong Liwu's sailors are still cleaning up the barrage iron cable in Fenglingdu, and the 50,000 Northern Mink Iron Cavalry of the fat cavalry general Meng is still confronting the Xiongnu in Jiuyuan. ”

Xiang Zheng said again: "What about the Yan-Zhao coalition army and the Han army? ”

Gao Lang replied: "As always, it is still in the clouds, Lishi and the Han army are in vain to the snake committee." ”

Xiang Zheng shook his head and said, "What about the Qiang soldiers of Captain Pang Zheng?" Isn't there any news yet? ”

Gao Lang shook his head and was silent, he knew that the reason why the prince cared about the Qiang soldiers of Pang Zheng, the captain of the Qiang school, was entirely because the prince Xiang Zhi was also in the Pang Zheng army, and the prince was not worried about the general, the fat cavalry general or the light car general entering the pass, but he was worried that the prince Xiang Zhi would enter Xianyang before him, because at this stage, Xiang Zhi was the one who Huai Yi could threaten his crown prince.

As the prince's hardcore friend, Gao Lang knew very well that Tai Yanzi had never relaxed his guard against his younger brother.

However, it was originally a dangerous move to lead the Qiang troops out of the Jinchuan River Valley, over the Gongga Mountain, and to attack Longxi, not only to climb over several snow-covered mountains, but also to cross the endless Daze, and even pass through the territory of dozens of savage tribes.

It is said that when the Queen Mother (Yu Ji) learned the news, she even fainted in a hurry.

At that moment, Gao Lang persuaded: "Prince, it is really dangerous to cross Gongga Mountain and attack Longxi all the way out of the Jinchuan River Valley, and if you are not careful, you will have the worry that the whole army will be wiped out, not to mention whether the Qiang army that protects the Qiang captain can enter Longxi, even if it is a fluke and successful, it is difficult to do anything under the exhaustion and loss of soldiers." …,

Xiang Zheng shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "But Ziliang have you thought about it, and Han Prime Minister Baimo may not have expected the existence of the Qiang soldiers along the way Pang Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard, and now the Han army has poured out of the nest and confronted my various armies in various counties, Xianyang must be empty of garrison, if the Qiang soldiers suddenly kill in Longxi at this time..., j."

Gao Lang was silent, he had to admit that the prince's analysis was still very reasonable.

And the reason why the prince Xiang Zhi disobeyed the king's order and accompanied the captain Pang Zheng to conquer Longxi was probably because he had seen through this, thinking of this, Gao Lang couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, and he really didn't see it, the son Xiang Zhi was usually very arrogant, and he didn't seem to have much scheming, but he secretly had such calculations?

Xiang Zheng seemed to guess what Gao Lang was thinking, and immediately shook his head and said: "What kind of character the second brother is, I know best, he would never have thought of it so far, there must be someone behind this matter who is giving him advice, and this is what I am most worried about." "What Xiang Zheng is most worried about is the huge force behind Xiang Zhi.

In fact, Xiang Zheng thought about this matter more deeply and farther than his old son Xiang Zhuang.

Xiang Zhuang out of the need for political stability, the crown prince was canonized early, but he has not seriously considered the arrangements for the future, after all, he is only in his early forties, and he is still early to die, but Tai Xiang Zheng has been secretly planning quietly out of precautionary considerations.

Xiang Zheng's understanding of his father is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, he knows very well that just waiting for the destruction of the Han Kingdom, his father Xiang Zhuang is bound to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and his father will inevitably reward the ministers again after he is called the emperor.

If Xiang Zhi made great contributions in the war of the Han Dynasty, he would not be able to replace him Xiang Zheng's crown prince, and the king was afraid that he did not run, plus Xiang Zhi was the stepson of the former king Xiang Yu, and the vigorous activities of the former king's henchmen and the influence of the queen mother, Xiang Zhi would be crowned the king of Jiangdong, which was not a good thing for Xiang Zheng.

If Xiang Zhi is really crowned the king of Jiangdong, his kingdom is likely to form a tail that will not fall, and even if he Xiang Zheng succeeds to the throne as the second emperor of Chu, it is very likely that he will be taken away from the throne by his younger brother.

After pondering for a long time, Xiang Zhengcai said in an unquestionable tone: "No matter what, we must rush into Guanzhong before the captain of Huqiang this way, and the first merit of destroying the Han must not fall on the head of the second brother!" ”

"However, Zihe, it is not easy to break Li Zuoche, if you are in a hurry, it is easy for him to take advantage of it." Gao Lang can understand Xiang Zheng's mood, but Li Zuoche is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all, not to mention that now the Han army is shrinking to defend, and the Chu army does not have the assistance of the water army, it is not easy to cross the river and attack.

Xiang Zheng said thoughtfully: "When I was a child, my father once told me a story called the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which there was such a paragraph, in order to lure the northern general, the prime minister of the western kingdom took the initiative to attack, and sent a woman's clothes to the northern general, so as to ridicule the northern general for having no eggs and not a man. ”

"Oh?" Gao Lang asked, "Is that Northern General angry?" ”

"Nope." Xiang Zheng shook his head and said, "The general of the northern kingdom gladly accepted the women's clothes sent by the prime minister of the western country, and also wore them in front of the army, but the prime minister of the western country finally returned in vain. After a pause, Xiang Zheng said again, "But Li Zuoche may not have the strength of a general in the North, I want to try him with this method." ”

Gao Lang said: "If you really get angry with Li Zuoche, what should you do?" ”

Xiang Zheng dragged the short beard that had just grown from the corner of his lips, and whispered a few words in Gao Lang's ear, Gao Lang's eyes lit up in an instant, and he nodded immediately: "Understood, Zi and you can rest assured, I know what to do." ”…,

Well well, well

Haoyangyi, Li Zuoche Xingyuan.

The next morning, Xiang Zheng, the prince of Chu, sent an envoy to cross the river, threatening that the Chu army would fight a decisive battle with the Han army on the west bank of the river, and asked the Han army to retreat ten miles to give the Chu army space to cross the river.

The adjutant general Xiahou Zao suggested that Li Zuoche agree to the request of the Chu army, and then give the Chu army a half-crossing attack.

Li Zuoche did not take the advice of the deputy general Xiahou Zao, because Li Zuoche had several encounters with the Chu army, and knew that the Chu army was brave and good at fighting, and it was definitely not something that the Han army could resist the enemy.

After Li Zuoche refused, he didn't want Prince Chu to order someone to send a brocade box the next day.

"Mrs. Chu's "I also provide a gift to the old man?" Li Zuoche sent away the messenger who sent the brocade box, and said to the deputy general Xiahou Zao with a smile, "This thing is new, the old man will see what kind of gift it is." ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Zuoche wanted to step forward and open the brocade box.

"Old general, be careful, there is a hidden weapon in the box!" Xiahou Zao hurriedly stopped Li Zuoche, and ordered his soldiers to step forward and open the brocade box, but there was no hidden weapon in the box, only a lotus green silk straight skirted deep coat, and a letter was placed on the deep coat, and the envelope was written with the words "Li Zuoche, the former general of the Han Dynasty".

"Oh, a letter to the old man?" Li Zuoche opened the envelope with a smile, but his face changed greatly at a glance.

Xiahou Zao was silent for a long time after seeing Li Zuoche read the letter, but the expression on his face became blue and white for a while, and he asked cautiously at the moment: "Old general, what did the letter say?" ”

Li Zuoche didn't answer, but just picked up the brocade box on the case and the women's deep clothes in the box and slammed it on the ground, and roared angrily before the remaining anger subsided: "Xiang Zheng, Zhuzi, dare to do this?" Ann dares to humiliate the old man like this?! ”

Xiahou Zao picked up the letter that fell to the ground, and couldn't help but change his face at a glance, Xiang Zheng, the prince of Chu, actually ridiculed the old general Li Zuoche in the letter for being a little lady with no eggs, and also gave the old general a deep coat, hoping that the old general could like Yunyun, so humiliating, it is no wonder that the old general Li was so angry that his hair was open.
