Chapter 383 Alliance

Baili Mao came to Xiang Zhuang in disgrace, so ashamed that he could barely raise his head, the two thousand elite horsemen who attacked, less than five hundred horsemen could rush out alive, this battle, the Chu army lost miserably!

"The king, the minister is ashamed! Big brother, little brother has disgraced Baili's! Baili Mao whimpered twice, and suddenly wiped his neck with a backhand, he suffered such a big defeat and lost such a big person, even if the king didn't punish him, even if the eldest brother didn't blame him, he would have no face to live in this world anymore, it was too embarrassing.

"Second brother, stop!" Bai Lixian hurriedly stopped, but Xiang Zhuang directly pulled out the knife and picked up the horizontal knife in Bai Limao's hand, in the past ten years, although Xiang Zhuang's martial arts have not made much progress, and Hu Yan, Gao Chu, and Jin Xiang are estimated to be a single one, but it is still more than enough to pick up the horizontal knife in Bai Limao's hand.

"Ziming!" Xiang Zhuang shouted, "The widow is mistaken about you. ”

Baili Xian also said: "Self-suicide is a coward's act, second brother, you let the eldest brother down." ”

"Big brother......" Baili Mao fell to his knees and cried, he was really sad.

"Ziming, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, if you lose this time, you will win it back next time, but if you commit suicide, then there will never be a chance to win it back!" Xiang Zhuang patted Baili Mao's shoulder and said, "What's more, you didn't lose today, although you broke two thousand men and horses, the Qi army on the opposite side suffered more casualties." ”

There is a sentence that Xiang Zhuang did not say, these two thousand cavalry were actually used to sacrifice from the beginning.

Under the circumstance that Han Xin's life and death are unknown, and the truth is unknown, it is undoubtedly unwise to rashly invest all his troops in a decisive battle with the Qi army, but to let Xiang Zhuang give up like this, but he is really unwilling, so it has become the only choice to send a small number of cavalry to launch a tentative attack on the Qi army, which is called winning the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

If the Qi army reacts slowly and does not respond properly, it means that the Han Xin standing on the lookout car is fake, and Xiang Zhuang will not hesitate to devote all his forces to a decisive battle with the enemy, but now the facts have proved that the guy on the opposite side is indeed Han Xin, if it is not Han Xin, how can he eat his own small 2,000 cavalry in one bite?

However, this cannot be said in public, and sacrificing troops has always been a taboo for soldiers.

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziming, from now on, you are the widow of the Yulin Zhonglang General, and all the surviving soldiers will be promoted to one level, with a bounty of ten taels, and the fallen soldiers will be given pensions according to the highest specifications!" ”

"Thank you, my king!" Baili Mao was ashamed and grateful, and turned over and bowed down at the moment. "Say Net" Ww. None / pop-up window wide / advertise full text TXT download

"Thank you, my king!" Behind Baili Mao, the hundreds of surviving soldiers bowed down together, at this moment, they couldn't wait to go up the knife mountain and get off the oil pot for Xiang Zhuang, and they couldn't wait to dedicate everything they had to Da Chu.

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Daxu has an order, the whole army retreats, and we will go to Di County." ”

Since Han Xin was not dead, there was no need to fight this battle, and Xiang Zhuang did not think that he could destroy the Qi State with 20,000 cavalry.

Ignore other factors, the supply of military food alone is a problem, you must know that this expedition, the Chu army did not carry any military food, since entering the Qi land, it has been maintained by looting, and now the food that can be robbed near Linzi has been basically robbed, and the rest are hidden in several big cities, but the Chu army can't grab it, there is no food, how can this battle be fought?

In another time and space, the Mongol general Jebe had a glorious record of fighting thousands of miles with 20,000 cavalry and destroying hundreds of countries along the way, but the Slavic principalities that were destroyed by Jebe were all palm-sized Slavic principalities, with no more than 100 soldiers and less than 1,000 people, so can it be compared with the Qi State under Han Xin's rule?

So, it's better to leave early!

Looking at the black pressure of the Chu army's cavalry surging away like a tide, Han Xin finally breathed a long sigh of relief. ..., the next moment, a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow suddenly hit, and the blood on Han Xin's face disappeared in an instant, and in its place, it was an unprecedented gray color.

Cao Qi's face also changed in an instant, the king was almost able to stand on his own, but now, he could barely stand by almost relying on his lift, and then Cao Yi turned around and yelled: "Imperial Doctor, old ram?!" ”

When the Ram Imperial Doctor hurriedly stepped forward, Han Xin had already fallen into a semi-comatose state, and while holding Lou Jing's hand, he intermittently told Lou Jing: "Yaxiang, the Chu army has just retreated, remember to chase and kill for a while, otherwise, Xiang Zhuang is likely to be suspicious, and when the time comes, the Chu army will come back with their heads, then the big thing will be over......"

"The king is at ease." Lou Jing nodded again and again, "The minister will arrange ......."

Han Xin sighed faintly at this time, and tilted his head into the endless darkness.

Han Qi stepped forward in two steps, grabbed the hem of the ram imperial doctor's clothes, and asked, "Old man, is my father still saved?" ”

Cold sweat the size of a bean had already broken out on the forehead of the ram imperial doctor, and he said while wiping the cold sweat: "The minister does his best, please rest assured, the minister will definitely do his best to save the king." ”

"Humph!" Only then did Han Yu loosen the placket of the ram imperial doctor's clothes, and said coldly, "If my father has a good one, my son will not spare you!" After saying this, Han Qi turned around and turned back to Lou Jing and said, "Yaxiang, my son wants to personally lead the army to pursue the Chu army, please borrow his father's Daxu to use it." ”

On the galloping road from Linzi to Di County, the Chu army was marching westward.

Among the ten thousand troops, Xiang Zhuang rode a black horse, and was moving forward unhurriedly, walking Xiang Zhuang's thick eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he turned back and asked Baili Xian: "Ziliang, the widow always feels that something is wrong." ”

Bai Lixian shook the feather fan for a while, and asked with a smile: "What does the king think is wrong?" ”

Xiang Zhuang said thoughtfully: "On that day in Huanglongdang, Han Xin, who met with the widow, should be true, the world is so big, there may be people who look similar to Han Xin, but the kind of kingly spirit on Han Xin's body, oh no, it is the kind of spirit and spirit that has been cultivated by pampering and treating the good all year round, but it cannot be impersonated by others." ”

Bai Lixian nodded, and said thoughtfully: "But the one who appeared in front of the two armies today must be Han Xin." ”

Xiang Zhuang touched his chin, and suddenly said: "So, is there such a possibility, Huang Longdang met with the widow Han Xin himself, but he did not die under the arrow of Youyuan, but was only seriously injured, today, he is forcibly supporting the command of the army to fight, his intention is just to scare us away." ”

The feather fan in Bai Lixian's hand shook lightly for a moment, and said, "The king is saying that Han Xin is dying?" ”

"It's just a few speculations." Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "Let's see, after a while, the scout cavalry should have news back, if the Qi army retreated back to Linzi and did not come to chase, it means that Han Xin is indeed in danger, but if the Qi army comes to chase after it, then Han Xin is probably fine." ”

As soon as the words fell, a fast horse was already galloping from behind.

As far as he got closer, the cavalry on horseback pulled the reins of the horse, and the mount under the crotch suddenly stood up with a long neigh, and the front hooves kicked a few times in the air, and then when they landed, they had stopped the forward rush, and the cavalry gave up his hand and said: "King, the army of Qi has caught up." ”

"Did you really catch up?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and said, "Have you seen King Qi Daxu?" ”

"Yes." The cavalry said without thinking, "The king of Qi is in front, and the armies are following behind, coming this way!" ”

"Ugh." Xiang Zhuang sighed, turned back to Bai Lixian and said, "It seems that Han Xin should be fine, but it's a pity that he couldn't shoot Han Xin with such a good opportunity." Baili Xian shook his head with a smile and said, "The king doesn't have to be discouraged, Han Xin is a generation of soldiers, how can he be so easy to deal with?" Besides, this expedition, our goal has already been successfully achieved, and the ambition of Qi to annex Zhao has been frustrated, and our Great Chu may have to add an ally. ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded happily and said: "Calculating the time, it is almost time for Doctor Shang to arrive in Handan, I hope he can really persuade the monarchs and ministers of Zhao to form an alliance with my Great Chu." ”

Liu Bang has been in a very bad mood recently, although the biggest hidden danger of the Lu family has been eliminated, but Liu Bang found that he still couldn't realize his will as he wanted, so he said that the matter of canonizing the crown prince, according to Liu Bang's original intention, naturally wanted to canonize Liu Ruyi as the prince, but Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Bai Mo and other ministers all supported Liu Heng.

Coupled with Lu Tai's last words, Liu Bang can't help but have scruples.

Just now Mrs. Qi cried in front of Liu Bang again, which made Liu Bang very upset, this will be hiding alone in the Yongyan Palace to drink alcohol, which makes Liu Bang upset more than one thing, compared to the dispute between the princes, Liu Bang is even more obsessed with another matter, this matter is that Zhao Guo actually formed an alliance with Chu State!

This matter has to start from more than a month ago, more than a month ago, Han Xin personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Zhao State, and Zhao State also sent an envoy to Liu Bang for help, but at that time Liu Bang was busy cleaning up the Lu family's forces, and he didn't care about it at all, so he just wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to Han Xin, but it didn't seem to have played any role.

Since asking for the title of King of Qi, Han Xin has not listened to him Liu Bang very much.

Then, Xiang Zhuang unexpectedly sent troops, and he really saved Zhao Guo!

Then, the state of Chu formed an alliance with the state of Zhao, and it is said that the state of Chu also gave Zhao a lot of benefits.

When he first heard the news, Liu Bang couldn't believe his ears, how could this be possible? The previous generation of Zhao King Zhang Er was his Liu Bang's henchman, Zhao State can be said to be supported by Liu Bang, and now Zhao King Zhang Ao is his Liu Bang's son-in-law, with these two relationships, how could Zhao State betray the Han Dynasty to form an alliance with Chu State?

At this moment, Liu Bang really wanted to ask Xu Cheng, has the celestial phenomena changed? His Liu Bang's emperor star is still as dazzling as before, and it is still as expected as before? However, it is a pity that since leaving Xianyang more than ten years ago, Xu Cheng has disappeared, and Liu Bang has never heard of her until today.
