Chapter 12: Outwitting Shouchun (Asking for Clicks, Asking for Recommendations)
The night was dark, and Gao Chu was ambushing in the artemisia grass outside the mountain with more than 200 personal soldiers.
Looking back behind him, he could faintly see the lights in the dock fort, and he could imagine with his toes what the situation should be like in the dock fort now, more than 3,000 remnants of the Chu army, in addition to more than 200 of them, the rest are all in the dock fort to eat fragrant, drink spicy, if you are lucky, you can still hug the little lady and be happy.
"Tun Chief, I can't figure it out, the general is too uninteresting."
"That is, we are the general's personal soldiers, but we are drinking the northwest wind here?"
"If you go back late, you won't have any delicious food or drink, but you won't have our share."
The soldiers below were full of complaints, and Gao Chu's mood was also bad, and he reprimanded angrily at the moment: "Shut up Lao Tzu, who dares to say more than half a word, Lao Tzu really let him drink the northwest wind!" ”
More than a dozen team leaders and even chiefs were suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
Gao Chu took the sacks of rice balls around him, and instructed a few teams to take the lead: "Go, give these rice balls to everyone, don't forget to give two more black spears, let him polish his eyes a little brighter, and keep an eye on Lao Tzu." ”
"No!" More than a dozen team leaders and even chiefs agreed, and went unhappily.
Although this rice ball is cold and hard, dry and astringent, it can always fill the stomach, if it really annoys Gao Tunchang, I am afraid that I will not even have to eat this rice ball.

In the dock fort, three thousand Chu soldiers were carnivaling.
Some people are busy boiling water and cooking, some people are busy killing pigs and sheep, and more people are holding dishes and chopsticks in their hands, sitting around the stove, waiting for a feast, hungry for so many days, today can finally eat with an open stomach, anxious! Of course, there are also people who have kidnapped young and beautiful women, and they are wantonly having fun.
Of course, Xiang Zhuang knew, but he didn't stop it.
Because this is a troubled time, and a troubled time has its own laws of troubled times.
What's more, in this era, the concept of chastity has not yet been formed at all, and many places even have the custom of wives and guests, and even those women are not ashamed, but happy, what is there to worry about Xiangzhuang?
In the final analysis, ** refers to the unwillingness of one party, if both parties are willing to do so, is it still called**?
In the tile house in the center of the dock fort, two multi-branch lamps and more than a dozen wall lamps illuminate the entire hall as bright as day, Xiang Zhuang is feasting Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Xiao Gongjiao, Yu Ziqi and other Chu army generals, everyone has a whole half-cooked pig's feet on their desks, as well as a large jar of brown rice, and a jar full of water and wine.
"Come, generals, it's done!" Xiang Zhuang raised his eyes to respect the generals, and immediately drank it all.
The so-called water wine is not actually a real wine, at best it is just a drink made from fermented grains, and its alcohol content is quite low, but this thing will also get drunk if you drink too much.
When Xiang Zhuang was drinking with the generals, the leader of the gang served everyone a golden fat chicken.
Xiang Zhuang grabbed the roast chicken, thought about it, tore off half of it and handed it to Jing Qian, and said, "Go, send this half of the chicken to Yu Ji." ”
To be honest, Xiang Zhuang doesn't care about Yu Ji's life or death, although she is a charming beauty, but Xiang Zhuang is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade at all, according to his original intention, he will not take Yu Ji to escape at all, but since this is Xiang Yu's order, and now it is most likely Xiang Yu's last life, Xiang Zhuang can only obey the order.
Jing Qian took the order, and Xiang Zhuang grabbed the fat chicken and gnawed it.
The five of Huan Chu also gobbled up a meal, and it wasn't until they were full of wine and food that Huan Chu burped and asked, "General, I don't know what we should do next?" ”
The four of Ji Bu also put down their dishes and chopsticks and pricked up their ears.
Xiang Zhuang's heart suddenly snorted slightly, in the end, Huan Chu and the others still didn't convince him very much, and if it was Xiang Yu leading the army, they would never and would not dare to ask such a question.
However, this is also to be expected.
Things such as Xiang Zhuang's tiger body shook, Huan Chu, Ji Bu and others bowed their heads, only in the lame film and television dramas of later generations, in the real ancient world, this situation is absolutely impossible, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, especially ruthless people like Huan Chu and Ji Bu, they can become generals from a cloth cloth, how can they be generals?
At that moment, Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering: "General Huan, in your opinion, what should you do next?" ”
"This ......," Huan Chu replied after a moment of silence, "the last general thinks that Jiangdong is the foundation of our army, so in the end, our army should still fight back to Jiangdong!" After saying this, Huan Chu sighed lightly again and said, "I just don't know how the king is now, and the two counties of Jiangdong, I don't know if they have lost their ground?" ”
There was silence in the hall, and everyone bowed their heads.
Although no one wants to believe it, in fact, everyone knows that Xiang Yu is definitely more than lucky, and most of the two counties of Zhangji and Huiji in Jiangdong have also been lost, that is to say, their 3,000 remnants are already a complete lone army, from now on, they will not get any foreign aid, they will be the enemy of the whole world!
"Jiangdong, we must kill back." Xiang Zhuang nodded and said solemnly, "Because that is our hometown, there are our parents, wives and children, and relatives, but ......" said this, Xiang Zhuang said again, "Not now, we can only go back to Jiangdong now, we can only throw ourselves into the net, that is looking for death!" ”
Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, and Xiao Gongjiao all nodded silently.
Huan Chu said again: "Then General, what should our army do now?" ”
"Now?" Xiang Zhuang said lightly, "Eat, drink, that's it!" ”
"General, the last general is talking about tomorrow." Huan Chu frowned and said, "What about tomorrow?" ”
"Tomorrow?" Xiang Zhuang said, "I will enter the city tomorrow, and when I get to the city, I will eat and drink." ”
"Into the city?" Zhong Limo changed slightly, "The general is saying, Shouchun?" Are we going to fight Shouchun? ”
As soon as these words came out, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Gongjiao and Yu Ziqi all changed their faces suddenly, you must know that Shouchun is the county ruler of Jiujiang County, the city is high and the ditch is deep, presumably there are still heavy guards, even if 100,000 Chu troops come to attack, they may not be able to take it in a hurry, and now there are only more than 3,000 remnants, so it is even more impossible.
"Yes, Shouchun." Xiang Zhuang's tone was still flat, as if winning Shouchun was just a trivial matter.
"General, this matter is not trivial, think twice!" Zhong Liwu was anxious when he heard this, "Shouchun is not easy to fight!" ”
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said lightly: "General Zhongli can rest assured, General Ben has his own plans." After saying this, he looked around at Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi, "Generals should also rest assured, this general will never risk the lives of three thousand soldiers to fight Shouchun, outwitting, not attacking!" ”
"Outwitted?" Huan Chu, Ji Bu and others looked at each other.
"Yes, outwit." Xiang Zhuang nodded lightly, "The soldiers are not bloody, take Shouchun!" ”
The battle of Shouchun was of extraordinary significance to Xiang Zhuang, he not only wanted to reduce the losses of the Chu army as much as possible, but also to establish his prestige through this battle, so that Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Xiao Gongjiao and other Chu generals would no longer dare to question his decision, otherwise in the long run, there will be a big mess in the future.

Outside the mountain, more than 200 pro-soldiers had already drunk the northwest wind in the middle of the night.
Gao Chu fell asleep and was frozen awake, then fell asleep, and then was frozen awake, after repeating it four times, there were finally two harsh old screams on the top of the mountain, and in an instant, Gao Chu's sleepiness was gone, because he knew that it was not the real old scream just now, but the black spear lying in ambush on the top of the mountain was warning.
"Wake up, wake up!" Gao Chu hurriedly woke up the few team leaders who were sleeping soundly beside him, and ordered in a low voice, "Go and wake up all the brothers, get ready to work!" ”
The order was quickly conveyed, and more than 200 pro-soldiers woke up one after another.
After less than a moment, a few faint fires suddenly appeared under the night sky in front of them, and as time passed, the firelight gradually became clearer, and then from one to two, from two to four, gradually turned into a dozen bright pine torches, and when they got closer, they found that it was a scout team of about 20 people.
The corners of Gao Chu's mouth suddenly bloomed with a sinister smile, and sure enough, as the general expected, after deliberately letting go of dozens of villagers, Shouchun really sent a scout team to spy on the military intelligence.
Seeing that they were about to enter the ambush circle, the twenty-odd scouts suddenly stopped.
Gao Chu was suddenly shocked, he was found out and hidden, can't he? Just when Gao Chu was hesitating whether to attack, the scout team leader who was walking in front suddenly shouted: "Listen carefully, the front is the pan boat, put out the fire for Lao Tzu, put down your hands and feet when you enter the mountain, don't fucking alarm the strongmen inside." ”
"No!" The scouts agreed and extinguished the torches.
In the darkness, more than twenty scouts continued to advance, and soon entered the ambush circle.
"Raise fire, kill!" Gao Chu gave an order, dozens of pine torches lit up, and then more than two hundred Chu soldiers surged out of the artemisia grass with Leng Sensen's big sword, and more than 20 scouts who came to spy were killed by surprise, and more than half of them were cut down in three or two strokes, and only seven or eight people were still resisting.
The rate of the scout team was particularly powerful, and with a pair of short halberds, he actually overturned more than a dozen Chu soldiers in a row.
Seeing that the scout team was about to break through, Gao Chu killed in time, and danced a big broadsword weighing fifty pounds to block the way of the scout team, and the two fought without counting, and the remaining scouts were also cut down to the ground one after another, and the scout team saw that there was no hope of escape, and gritted his teeth and turned the halberd horizontally to kill himself.
How could Gao Chu let him get his wish? The big sword shook, only to hear a clear sound, the scout team led by the double halberd has been swinged, the two Chu soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush forward, the scout team leader to the ground, the scout team leader grieved and angry, but when he saw the color of the two Chu army's robes clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed surprise.
