Chapter 94: An Unexpected Discovery

Puyang, the county guard.

Zhang Liang slowly walked into the inner courtyard and reported to Liu Bangyu, who was soaking his feet: "Wang, something happened!" ”

Liu Bang immediately withdrew from Yanwen, and then asked Zhang Liangdao: "Ovary, what happened in such a hurry?" ”

Zhang Liang took a breath and said: "The doorman sent by the minister to monitor the whereabouts of the Chu army has already received news, and he sent back the flying report that the Chu army that got a trace in Dong'e County two days ago has been found, and they are hiding in a valley, but the remnants of this Chu army have less than five hundred people, and they are not the main force of the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang at all!" ”

There is never a secret in this world that can never be revealed, although Yu Ziqi has been very careful, and has strictly carried out Xiang Zhuang's orders, after dividing the army, he only marches at night with torches, and must find a hidden place to hide during the day, but no matter how careful, no matter how cautious he is, he was finally found out by the doorman sent by Zhang Liang.

"Huh?!" Liu Bang Huo Ran got up and said in disbelief, "How can this be?!" ”

Zhang Liang said with a face full of shame: "The king forgives the sin, the minister was careless for a while, and fell for the golden cicada's shelling scheme!" ”

"Let's not talk about that." Of course, Liu Bang knew that now was not the time to be held responsible, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "The question is, where is the main force of Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er's Chu army?" After saying this, Liu Bang said again, "Xiang Zhuang'er is not in Dong'e, will he have crossed Jishui and entered Lu County to join Xiang Guan?" ”

While the two were talking, Chen Ping also rushed over when he heard the news.

Listening to Zhang Liang talk about the situation, Chen Ping was also taken aback.

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and then said to Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang are likely to have crossed the river west again and flowed into Zhao Land again!" ”

"It can't be!" Liu Bang said categorically, "Now except for Baimajin and Nanpi, there are only a handful of boats that can be found on both sides of the river, what will Xiangzhuang Xiao'er take to cross the river?" Thousands of his remnants can't all jump into the river and swim over, right? I still don't believe it, all these remnants of the Chu army will be drained? ”

Chen Ping also said: "Yes, Brother Zifang, this should be unlikely, right?" ”

Wasn't the reason why the boats on both sides of the river were burned in the first place to prevent the Chu army from entering Zhao again?

"I can't say this." Zhang Liang sighed, "Alas, but the minister has an intuition that Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi are likely to cross the river west again, and sneak attack Huguan or Jingcheng Pass through Zhao Di. After saying this, Zhang Liang said again, "King, just in case, we should quickly send out flying horses and inform General Wang to strengthen the garrison of Huguan and Jingcheng." ”

"It's okay, no matter whether Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er has escaped into Zhao Di again or not, it's always right to be careful." Liu Bang nodded, and then instructed Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, this matter will be for you." ”

"Then the minister will go down to repair the book." Chen Ping took the order.

Chen Ping didn't think that the Chu army would run into Zhao again, the Chu army didn't have a boat, what would they take to cross the river? In his opinion, the Chu army must have been hiding in a hidden valley in Xue County, Dong County, or Jibei, but the king was right, it was always right to be careful, and it was still necessary to remind General Wang to strengthen the vigilance of Huguan and Jingcheng.

Yu Zi's deeds were revealed, and Xiang Zhuang would also be in trouble.

Driving more than 700 horses through Zhao Di was originally very ostentatious, although there was Qi Mai this Hu person as a cover, but when he walked to Ye County, he was still intercepted by Zhao Guoci's general Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan is the great-great-grandson of the famous general Bai Qi, and he is also the queen of the gate.

It's really interesting to say, Bai Qi was a famous general of Great Qin, Changping killed 450,000 soldiers of the Zhao army in the first battle, Zhao people can really say that they hate Bai Qi into the bone marrow, but when it came to the great-grandson Bai Xuan, he turned into a Zhao general, of course, the Zhao State at this time and the Zhao State during the Warring States Period were already two different things.

Bai Xuan was born in a famous family and was familiar with etiquette, but he didn't mess around.

Bai Xuan made it clear that the Zhao army was short of horses, so the more than 700 horses that crossed the border from Ye County must be sold to Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo would also pay Qi to buy enough money and goods according to the market price of Zhao Land, Bai Xuan is actually understandable to do this, you are a horse dealer, this horse is sold to South Korea is sold, and selling it to Zhao Guo is not the same as selling?

Qi Mai naturally didn't dare to agree, he was a captive now, didn't he see two strong men behind him?

These two strong men were ostensibly Qi Mai's attendants, but in fact they were sent by Xiang Zhuang to spy on him, and if Qi Mai tried to escape or made a move against the Chu army, they would immediately kill him.

Bai Xuan didn't force Qi to buy, but just asked him to go back and think about it.

Of course, in order to prevent Qi Mai from driving the horses to escape, Bai Xuan specially sent more than 100 cavalry to be stationed near the Hu people's camp to monitor this group of Hu people at any time.

In the "Hu Ren" camp, Gongsun Sui was losing his temper.

"General, give the villain forty fine horses!" Gongsun then said murderously, "The villain only needs one assault to defeat the more than 100 Zhao cavalry outside!" ”

"Alright, give me some peace." Xiang Zhuang didn't have a good breath, "Now is not the time to be strong. ”

Wei Yu also said: "Gongsun Sima, the more than 100 cavalry of Zhao State outside are easy to deal with, but if thousands of Zhao State troops are recruited, it will be difficult to deal with, after all, we are just passing by, not specially here to attack Zhao State, right?" Therefore, it is better not to alarm the army of Zhao Guo. ”

Gongsun then said unwillingly: "But these horses are so cheap Zhao Jun?" ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "If the horses are gone, they will be gone, the key is that people have to pass, our goal is Guanzhong!" ”

After saying this, Xiang Zhuang turned his head to Qi Mai and said: "Mr. Qi Mai, sell the horses to Bai Xuan tomorrow, but you can't sell them all, you have to leave more than 100 war horses, you just say that this is for us to stay, and you tell Bai Xuan again, if the price he gives is fair, next time sell another 1,000 good horses." ”

Qi Mai, who was constantly shrinking in the corner of the tent, resignedly, this guy is quite self-aware, since he was a prisoner of the Chu army, he basically has never had any trouble, and he probably knows that with his small arms and short legs, it is absolutely impossible to escape the clutches of the Chu army, so he is constantly very obedient.

The general Qi Mai and Gongsun then sent out the account, and Wei Yu suddenly said: "General, this way to the west, the old man found that Handan County was strengthening the city defense and repairing the city wall all around?" This Handan County is not Dai County or Yanmen County, so it is obviously not to resist the invasion of the Huns in the north, so the behavior of the Zhao army is worth scrutinizing. ”

"Or is it to guard against our army?" As soon as Wu Shi finished speaking, he immediately denied his conjecture, "No, no one knows now that we have quietly returned to Zhao Di, and Zhao Jun naturally can't know." ”

Xiang Zhuang's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Is the military advisor saying that the Zhao army is guarding against the Han army?" ”

"That's about it." Wei Yi smiled lightly, "General, although we have not been able to completely break Liu Bang's general trend, but Liu Bang has not been able to destroy our army for a long time, and our army has repeatedly stirred up Wei Di, Qi Di and Zhao Di, and now, Liu Bang's prestige in the eyes of all the princes has been greatly reduced, otherwise, Zhao Jun would not have the current move." ”

Xiang Zhuang clapped his fist and said: "That is to say, if our army can force Liu Bang's army back to Guanzhong, then it will be impossible for the princes of the Kwantung region to buy his account, isn't that so?" ”

"It's hard to say Han Xin, after all, Liu Bang has the grace of knowing Han Xin, and everything Han Xin has today can be said to be all thanks to Liu Bang." Wei Yu shook his head, and then said, "But Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zhang Er, Zang Di, Wu Rui, Han Wangxin and Zhou Yin will definitely not buy Liu Bang's account again!" ”

Xiang Zhuang said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have to enter the customs as soon as possible!" ”

The voice fell, and Gongsun suddenly entered the tent again and said: "General, General Gao Chu asks to see you." ”

"High Junior High School?!" Xiang Zhuang's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Let him come in." "Before the division of the army, Xiang Zhuang had a strict order, there was no urgent matter, and it was strictly forbidden for the Chu army from all walks of life to contact each other, but Gao Chu came to it at this time, it must have happened something big, or there was some serious discovery.

Gongsun then took the order and left, and soon led Gao Chu into the tent.

"General, military advisor." Gao Chu rushed to Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi respectively, and said, "The last general intercepted and killed a Han army flying horse in Liangqi County, and found out about this. As he spoke, Gao Chu took out a yellow silk cloth bag from his arms that had not yet been opened, and then held it in both hands and respectfully handed it to Xiang Zhuang.

Xiang Zhuang opened the cloth bag, but inside was a roll of wooden tablets.

Then unfold the wooden tablet, which turned out to be a secret letter sent by Liu Bang to the Han general Wang Su, to the effect that the Chu army was likely to enter Zhao again, and reminded Wang Su to strengthen the defense of Huguan Canyon and Jingcheng Canyon to strictly prevent the Chu army from sneaking attack! After reading the secret letter slowly, Xiang Zhuang's face changed greatly, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing Xiang Zhuang's expression, Wei Yi said with concern: "General, what's wrong?" ”

"Strategist, you'd better see for yourself." Xiang Zhuang solemnly handed the wooden slip to Wei Yu.

Zhang Liang did not see through Wei Yu's plan to get rid of the golden cicada, but his caution still brought fatal coercion to the Chu army.

Wei Yi slowly finished reading Mu Jian, and his face also changed, the Chu army crossed the river back and forth, and finally got rid of the multi-way Han army that was chasing and intercepting, and saw that he could sneak over Zhao Di, but he found that things were not as easy as he imagined, Zhang Liang was really cautious enough, and he actually left a large army in Huguan and Jingcheng!

What's even worse is that the 20,000 army is still the elite soldiers of the Han general Wang Su!

Even if it is guarded by troops, there are at least 10,000 elite soldiers outside the Huguan Canyon, which is 10,000 elite soldiers!

Even if the Chu army carried out a surprise attack and defeated the Han army outside the Huguan Gorge with a thunderous momentum, the Huguan defenders on the other side of the canyon must also know the news. The Chu army can't fly to the gate indirectly, right?

This unexpected discovery completely disrupted Chu Jun's plan, and Huguan was afraid that he would not be able to go!
