On the west bank of the river, Zhou Bo and Mei Kai were sighing.

"Damn!" Zhou Bo said hatefully, "Hurry up, it's still a step too late!" ”

"yes." Mei Kai also said quite regretfully, "The Chu army is one hundred and fifty or sixty small boats, and a trip back and forth will ferry at most a thousand people, if we knew that the Chu army dared to cross the river, we would have given him a half-crossing attack, hey, at that time, Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer should have jumped into the river to feed the fish, but it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

At this time, Chu Jun's farewell voices still sounded wave after wave.

"The two generals, Zhou Bo and Mei Kai, please stay, don't work far away, don't work far away, don't work far away......"

Zhou Guanfu said angrily: "Father, let's hurry up and collect boats to cross the river and pursue." ”

Zhou Bo sighed: "I'm afraid I can't find a ship around here, so let's look for it upstream and downstream." ”

Mei Wei said: "General Zhou, let's go separately, I'll go upstream, you go downstream, collect the boats and immediately gather here, and ferry the army across the river to pursue!" ”

Zhou Bo nodded, and immediately acted separately with Mei Kai.

##########

On the east bank of the river, more than 150 large and small ships have been moored.

Together with the number of boats that had crossed the river before, more than 300 boats have filled the entire river beach.

As soon as Xiang Zhuang jumped off the boat, he instructed Jing Qian: "Jing Qian, send five hundred light soldiers to carry these more than 300 small ships to the forest over there and hide them, remember, hide them separately, half of them are hidden on the outer edge of the forest, just cover them up, and the other half should be hidden in the depths of the forest, and all traces must be eliminated!" ”

"No!" Jing Qian suddenly agreed and immediately received the order.

Huan Chu said suspiciously: "General, why did you separate the ships and hide them?" ”

Ji Bu also chimed in: "Yes, why don't you drag all the boats to the depths of the forest and hide? ”

Xiang Zhuang said indifferently: "It's very simple, this is to keep the half of the ships in the depths of the forest." ”

Wu Shi said suddenly: "Is the general saying that half of the ships were sacrificed to keep the other half of the ships?" ”

"In a word, sir." Xiang Zhuang said, turned back and glanced at Wei Yu, and the corners of both of them had a subtle sly smile on their lips, the purpose of this move was not so simple.

In the middle of the night, Zhaodi's eight-hundred-mile express delivery reached Puyang again.

Sui He slowly walked into the hall with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and said to Liu Bangyu: "King, Zhao Di is urgent!" ”

"Bring it up!" Liu Bang immediately stood up, stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slip and spread it out with a loud bang, but after reading it slowly, he frowned, and then handed the bamboo slip to Zhang Liang, and said, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er really didn't know whether to live or die, and he actually ran back to Qidi, hum!" ”

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's faces also changed slightly when they heard this, which was really unexpected.

Liu Bang touched his mustache and asked Zhang Liangdao: "Ovary, how is the Qidi beacon tower repaired?" ”

Zhang Liang replied while looking at the bamboo slips: "Five days ago, the king of Qi came to report that the beacon tower had been built along Juyeze, Gucheng, Lixia until Di County, and the 300,000 troops had also been divided into ten roads, stationed in the major cities along the Jishui line. ”

"That's good." Liu Bang nodded, and said, "Then let Zhou Bo and them cross the river east as soon as possible, and drive the remnants of the Chu army to the direction of Jishui, this battle cannot be dragged on any longer, otherwise, the grain and straw in Guanzhong will also be unable to help, this time, we must kill the remnants of the Chu army of Xiangzhuang Xiaoer along the Jishui line!" ”

Chen Ping pondered for a moment, and then said: "But just in case, we should still leave an army to guard the pot pass." ”

"It's not just Huguan, it's Jingcheng Pass!" Zhang Liang said, "In addition, we must burn all the large and small boats that can be collected on both sides of the river, and beware of the remnants of the Chu army from crossing the river west again and entering the Zhao land!" ”

"Okay." Liu Bang nodded, and said to Chen Ping again, "Chen Ping, then I have to work for you." ”

"Don't worry, the king will go down and make arrangements." Chen Ping shook his bow and took the order.

On the east bank of the river, Xinyi.

Xinyi is also the Shen County of later generations, but now it is only a small city.

There were originally thousands of households in Xinyi, just because in the past ten years, the river water has to send a big flood almost every year, and the people have been affected by disasters every year, so they have fled away, and now, there are less than 500 households left in Xinyi City, however, the city wall of Xinyi is made of green bricks, which is quite strong, and the rammed earth can not stop the flood, right?

It was the darkest time before dawn, and the sentry at the head of Xinyi City yawned, and was about to walk into the enemy tower to take a rest, but at the moment when he turned around, the corner of his eye faintly noticed that there seemed to be a little light on the horizon ahead.

"It's ......" The sentry rubbed his eyes, realizing that the light had not disappeared, and it was clearly not an illusion.

After less than half a bag of cigarettes, the light was much closer to Xinyi and turned into a fire dragon.

The sentry hurriedly woke up the dozen or so Minzhuang on duty, Minzhuang's team was a veteran who had participated in the Battle of Pengcheng, only because his right leg was lame, so he was sent to Xinyi to retire, this veteran only glanced outside the city, and his face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly at the moment: "Army, there is an army on the march!" Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet to warn! ”

After saying this, the veteran roared again: "Send flying horses again to report to Puyang!" ”

A veteran is a veteran, with a lot of experience, and this army suddenly appeared without a reception, obviously friend or foe!

More than a dozen people blew up the nest when they arrived, and two of them rushed down the city with a rolling belt, took out the horn from the barracks and blew it vigorously, and in an instant, the continuous sound of the horn had rushed into the sky, and the sleeping people and the defenders were alarmed, and in less than half a cup of tea, the whole Xinyi was already boiling in the sky.

##########

In the east of Xinyi City, more than 4,000 Chu troops are rushing south with great fanfare.

Far away to Xinyi, the city has been lit up to the sky, obviously, Qi has been all over the beacon tower, if the Chu army continues to advance the army, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of Zhao Di, no matter where it goes, the beacon fire will always follow, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops and Qi troops will inevitably flock from all directions.

Wu Shi caught up with Xiang Zhuang and said worriedly: "General, we really shouldn't go back to Qidi, you see, this Xinyi beacon fire together, Han Xin and Liu Bang will immediately know that we have returned, and when Liu Bang and Han Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops rush from all directions, we can't find a gap if we want to break through." ”

After saying this, Wu Shi said again: "General, Qi Di is not as good as Zhao Di." ”

Wu She's words are the truth, the situation of Qi and Zhao is indeed different, and it is very different, although Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, is also Liu Bangfeng, but Zhang Er never regarded Liu Bang as the monarch's father, the Chu army rushed into Zhao, Zhang Er only ordered all over the country to raise beacons to report to the Han army, but never sent a soldier to help the war.

Han Xin, the king of Qi, is very different, Han Xin is obedient to Liu Bang Lao'er, at least for now, once the Chu army enters Qi, not only will they have to face the encirclement and interception of the Han army from all walks of life, but also face the layers of interception and killing of Han Xin's 300,000 army, this is not a joke, a little careless, that is the end of the destruction of the whole army.

"Mr. is right, Han Xin is more difficult to deal with than Zhang Er, and Qi Di is much more dangerous than Zhao Di, if you are not careful, it will immediately be the end of the destruction of the whole army!" Xiang Zhuang nodded, and said thoughtfully, "So, we can't delay in Qi Di for too long, we must kill Qi Di in the shortest possible time and return to Chu Di!" ”

Wu Shi just smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this, and returned to Chudi, it was easy to say, but can he go back?

Behind Xiang Zhuang, the generals Huan Chu, Ji Bu, and Xiao Kai were also excited, but Yu Ziqi frowned, and there was a faint look of confusion between his eyebrows.

When more than 4,500 Chu troops crossed Xinyi and rushed south overnight, Zhou Bo had already taken the lead in crossing the river with 5,000 elite soldiers.

The cavalry of the Han army collected more than 500 large and small boats, and gathered the boats together overnight, and when it was almost dawn, Zhou Bo's 5,000 elite soldiers boarded the first batch of ships, and then stepped on the east bank of the river in the thin morning light.

Immediately, the 5,000 Han army began to form a formation, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to reconnoitre.

As a veteran of the battlefield with a hundred battles, Zhou Bo has maintained enough vigilance at all times.

Even if it is basically impossible for the Chu army to attack halfway, Zhou Bo is still very careful, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!

On the third pole of the day, the second batch of 5,000 Han troops also successfully stepped on the east bank of the river, Zhou Bo was a little relieved, the east bank of the river has gathered tens of thousands of elites, and the Chu army wants to attack the Han army halfway, it is wishful thinking, and at the same time, the scouts sent out to reconnoiter have also found out.

Soon, Zhou Bo came to the outer edge of the forest with five hundred light horses.

Looking at the more than 100 ships hidden in the bushes, Zhou Bo couldn't help frowning.

Zhou Guanfu said: "Father, why does Xiang Zhuang want to hide these ships, and hide them well?" That's it, can you just send a few scouts to find it? After saying this, Zhou Guanfu had a whim, looked up at the depths of the dense forest, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Xiangzhuang is deliberately covering up, and there is another batch of ships hidden in the forest?" ”

"I'm overthinking." Zhou Bo shook his head and said, "When the Chu army crossed the river yesterday, we didn't see it, they only had more than a hundred boats, all of them were here. ”

Obviously, the previous scene on the north bank of the river has formed a preconceived mindset for Zhou Bo, once the human mindset is formed, it is difficult to break through by itself, just now Zhou Guanfu said that there are still a number of boats in the forest, it does not mean that he has broken through the mindset, he is just talking casually.

Zhou Guanfu really didn't insist, and said: "Then why didn't the Chu army hide the ship more hidden?" ”

"There are only two possibilities." Zhou Bo pondered for a moment, this meeting had already reached a conclusion, and said at the moment, "First, the Chu army didn't plan to cross the river again at all, and hid the boat just in case, so it was too lazy to bother; Second, the Chu army was in a hurry, and they were in a hurry to leave, so they didn't have time to seriously hide these ships.
