The Chu army called for a long time, Huyan, Youyuan, and Xiqilie generals continued to fight, and the Hengshan army never flinched, and in desperation, Xiang Zhuang had to order the whole army to retreat ten miles back and set up camp.

It only took a moment for Jin Xiang to take a few personal soldiers to set up the king's tent in Xiangzhuang.

Xiang Zhuang's royal tent did not use silk cloth, nor did it use animal skin, but like the marching tents of ordinary soldiers, all of them used the same color linen, of course, the linen cloth used by the Chu army now has been improved by Xiang Zhuang, not only thicker, but also more dense weaving patterns, as if it was the canvas of later generations.

After supporting the king's tent of Xiangzhuang, the soldiers of Jinxiang, Huyan, the Heavenly Wolf Battalion and the Tiger Camp took out a canvas tent from their respective canvas bags and set it up all around, and in less than a moment, 800 soldiers set up more than 200 canvas tents of the same size with the king's tent of Xiangzhuang as the center.

Today's Chu army, especially the 20,000 elites, has gradually standardized its equipment, not only the weapons and armor such as horizontal knives, ring-headed knives, horned bows, shields and spears equipped by the soldiers of the whole army have adopted the same standard, but also logistics auxiliary equipment such as dry food bags, canvas tents, and linen bedding have also been standardized.

For example, the standardization of canvas tents and linen bedding can greatly reduce the pressure on logistical support, and at the same time can greatly improve the mobility of the army, because many tent equipment that originally needed to be transported by heavy vehicles can now be carried by individual soldiers, and there is no obstacle to crossing mountains and mountains.

Xiang Zhuang also equipped each veteran with a canvas bag, specially used to hold tents, bedding and all kinds of sundries, this canvas bag is actually a military backpack for later generations, Xiang Zhuang was a PLA veteran before crossing. Naturally, I know that military backpacks seem to be very ordinary, but for an army, the role is not trivial.

It soon became dark, and a bonfire soon lit up in the Chu army's camp.

Jin Xiang took out a large piece of white-flour steamed buns from his canvas bag, and roasted them on the fire until they were charred on the outside and crispy on the inside, and then sent them to Xiang Zhuang with a bamboo pot of water, but Xiang Zhuang had no appetite, shook his head and stood up. Xiang Baili Xian who was not far away said: "Ziliang, let's go to the mountain over there to see the reality of the Hengshan Army." ”

"Whoa!" Baili Xian naturally has no objections.

At that moment, Huyan Zhengde lit up the four hundred heavenly wolf guards to escort Xiang Zhuang and Baili Xian to the top of the hill on the right side of the camp, standing on the top of the hill and looking down condescendingly, behind him was the Chu army camp fire at the key point of the star, and diagonally opposite was the brightly lit Hengshan camp. By the light of the fire, it can even be seen that the Hengshan army is busy carrying the baggage.

Looking at the grain stacked in the open air in the Hengshan camp and stacked like a hill, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help frowning, and said worriedly: "The strength of the Hengshan army is almost five times that of me, and the grain and grass are so abundant, and it is still a local battle, so it can be said that it has taken advantage of the time, place, and people. can't hold on yet, this battle seems to be difficult to fight. ”

"yes." Bai Lixian nodded and said, "We can't afford to drag on this battle." ”

"It's really not good, then you can only storm the Hengshan camp, no matter how much it costs, you must first break the Hengshan army. Otherwise, once Yingbu, Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche come back to their senses, the consequences will be unimaginable. The campfire of the Hengshan camp was reflected in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, as if there were two cold flames burning.

"Well, something doesn't seem right." Bai Lixian suddenly exclaimed.

"What, Ziliang, what did you find?" Xiang Zhuang tilted his head and couldn't help but ask.

Bai Lixian nodded. He pointed to the Hengshan camp in front of him with a feather fan and said, "Look, king, looking at the situation of the Hengshan army, most of them are carrying grain, right?" ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Yes, isn't the Hengshan Army busy moving the grain stacked in the open air into the granary?" ”

Baili Xian said: "So much grain, there should be more than 100,000 stones, right?" It can be stacked on top of these grains that are stacked in the open air. It doesn't even seem to make sense that there isn't even a reed mat to shelter from the wind and rain, right? Looking at the ground near here, it was obvious that there had just been a rainstorm last night, and the Hengshan army was not afraid that the grain would be soaked and moldy? ”

Huyan Zhengde said: "Maybe this batch of grain just arrived today." ”

Bai Lixian shook his head and said: "That's not right, if this batch of grain has just arrived today, why didn't Hengshan Army put it directly into the granary, anyway, the granary has already been repaired, and it is also empty, so why pile it up in the open air?" Could it be that these hundreds of thousands of Hengshan troops can't even draw thousands of strong men to carry grain? ..., a bright light suddenly flashed in front of Xiang Zhuang's eyes, and he slammed the knot: "I want to cover it!" ”

"Yes, I just want to cover it up!" Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and said with a smile, "Most of the Hengshan army has no food, deliberately stacking grain in the open air, and then moving it into the granary at night, it is clearly acting, Mei Li clearly wants to create an illusion for us that the Hengshan army is piled up with grain, and then lure us to attack the Hengshan camp." ”

"What a plum." Xiang Zhuang said in a sullen voice, "He is worthy of being a famous general in the world!" ”

But this time, Mei Kai accidentally showed his feet and was caught by Bai Lixian.

Bai Lixian smiled and said: "King, since the Hengshan army has no food, but the dry food carried by our army is enough to support more than half a month, in this way, our army does not need to rush to attack." ”

"Hmm." Xiang Zhuang bowed his head lightly and said, "Then let's spend it like this first." ”

Although the state of Chu is facing the threat of Yingbu, Zhou Yin, Jin She, Li Zuoche, and Ji Luo Shao's five-way army, Xiang Tuo's 50,000 army is not a decoration, and the strong men from Danyang County and Huiji County are also continuously gathering towards Qu'a, and Jiangdong should be able to worry about it in a short period of time, so the Chu army can still afford to spend it in just ten days and half a month.

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan, and suddenly said, "King, I don't know how the doctor's trip to Jiangling went?" If Doctor Shang can convince the King of Linjiang, it may not take ten days for Mei Kai to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with me. ”

Gangneung, Linjiang Palace.

The king of Linjiang was giving a banquet to the great Chu Shangfu Wu She.

Gongwei is just in his early thirties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown of jade, he can be regarded as one of the most beautiful men in a hundred, but he looks slightly feminine and lacks some manliness.

Wu Shi sat at the lower right of the lieutenant, and at the lower left of the lieutenant, there was also the minister of Linjiang and the general, Du Qiu, the minister of Linjiang country, was already over the age of old, and the general Gongsun Wu was only in his early thirties, and his appearance was also extremely heroic.

At this meeting, Wu Shi was talking eloquently during the banquet: "Ji Luo shake can't turn the foreign barbarians, just tens of thousands of rabble, not vulnerable at all, my king has condemned Pang Yu, leading 5,000 elite soldiers out of the south of the black wound, if nothing else, most of the Yan Yan shakes have now been killed, and most of the barbarians have been defeated back to Dongou." ”

"Although the king of Minyue is quite knowledgeable about military strategy, but Fujian is thousands of miles away from Wuzhong, the mountains and rivers in the middle are far away, the poisonous miasma is everywhere, and there are the armed forces of the Jinan clan, I am afraid that within a year and a half, the Minyue army will not be able to kill Wuzhong, but by that time, my king has already repelled the rest of the thieves from all walks of life, and the Minyue army is just a few way, what is the way?"

"Zhou Yin, Jin She, Li Zuoche, the world's famous generals, but unfortunately there are few generals and can't become a climate."

"My great Chu Zuo general Meng Yan is the son of the late Qin famous general Meng Tian, Wen Tao Wu strategy, no one can match, under the command of 5,000 elite soldiers, all can block a hundred, there are General Meng Yan and 5,000 elite guards Liyang, Zhou Yin, Jin She, Li Zuoche even if they have a thousand skills, they don't want to cross the Lei Chi half a step, Jiangzuo three counties can be safe."

"What my king is worried about, only Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, and Yingbu, the king of Huainan, have ordered the general Xiang Tuo to mention 100,000 troops to the north of Qu'a, in order to resist the army of Huainan Wang Yingbu, and personally mention 50,000 elite soldiers to go deep into the Lujiang River, intending to attack Hengshan with the king, if the Hengshan country dies, my king is willing to give it to Hengshan County, I don't know how the king unexpectedly?"

Minister Du Qiu stroked the long gray hair under his chin and said, "Doctor Shang, what if King Xiang's soldiers defeat Lujiang?" It is necessary to know that Mei Kai, the general of Hengshan State, is also a famous general in the world, and he has gathered more than 200,000 troops under his command, and defeated 200,000 with 50,000. ”

Wu Shi got up and said impassionedly: "What does the Minister of State think Mei Kai thinks is compared to Liu Bang?" ”

Du Qiu frowned and said unhappily: "The hero of the Han Dynasty, how can Mei Kai compare with it?" ”

"Well said!" Wu Shi said, "The hero of the Han Dynasty, my great Chu first king Xiang Yu is a hero, and he was defeated and died under his hands, however, in the battle of Dabie Mountain, Liu Bang with 500,000 troops to my king's 5,000 remnants, but he lost his division again and again, and now my king has 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Mei Hong's 200,000 rabble, how can he not win?" ”

Du Qiu was dumbfounded, even if he was full of reluctance, he had to admit that Wu Shi had a point.

Gongsun Wu, who was sitting at the head of Du Qiu, said again: "Doctor Shang, if my Linjiang army raises troops in a big way and crosses the river to attack Yi County, it will inevitably be empty in the country. ”

Wu Shi flicked his sleeves and said casually: "The general doesn't know, last year, my king led an army of 20,000 into Guanzhong, and he has already stirred up the land of Guanzhong. ”

Gongsun Wu smiled faintly, and didn't say anything more, from his Gongsun Wu's position, in fact, he was still in favor of sending troops, there was Wushan between Linjiang and Guanzhong and Bashu, and if the Han army wanted to attack Jiangling, it had to take advantage of Sanchuan Nanyang, but at least for now, the Han army had no sign of assembling in Sanchuan and Nanyang.

In other words, the Han army had no plans to raise troops against Linjiang in a short period of time, so why not take this opportunity to capture Yixian and destroy Hengshan State? You must know that at this time in Hengshan Country, the whole country gathered in Fanyi, and the national capital Yixian was extremely empty, which was really a God-given opportunity for Linjiang Country.
