Under the wall, the camp of the Qi army.

Han Xin is discussing the art of war with Kuaicher with a bamboo slip in his hand, as long as Kuaicher does not criticize the king of Han, Han Xin is still very willing to exchange experience in learning the art of war with Kuaicher, because Kuaicher is indeed a well-educated person, although he cannot be compared with Han Xin in the practical application of the art of war, but his theoretical level is not under Han Xin.

The two discussed "Wei Xuanzi", which was written only a few decades ago.

"Wei Xuanzi" was created by Wei Yu, a former Wei Liang man, and of course it is not as incisive as Sun and Wu's art of war in terms of strategy and tactics, but it is also unique, for example, he made it clear for the first time that farming is the basis of war, believing that the land is to support the people, the city is to protect the land, and the war is to protect the city, so farming is the foundation!

When the two were expressing their opinions on the importance of farming to the war, the general Li Zuoche suddenly broke in and reported to Han Xinyu with a shocked face: "Great King, the Chu army set fire to Shuanglong Mountain, and almost all the 3,000 soldiers ambushed in the mountain were burned to death. ”

Kui Che, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but have a different color on his face, Xiang Yu actually learned to use tricks?

"Lonely but forgot, now is the dry winter, misstep." Han Xin was only slightly surprised when he heard this, and then asked Li Zuodao, "Where is Chu Jun now?" ”

Li Zuodao: "The Chu army should be almost to the Wild Horse Plain by now." ”

Han Xin bowed his head lightly and said, "Flying cavalry order, the cavalry will attack immediately!" ”

"No." Li Zuoche suddenly agreed, and immediately shook off the big gun, turned around and walked away.

Seeing Li Zuoche's vigorous figure go out of the tent, Kuaiche turned around and said to Han Xin: "King, whether you like it or not, there is something that must be said, Xiang Yu, it's better to let him live." ”

Han Xin frowned slightly and said, "Sir, let's talk about this today, I'm a little tired." ”

Kui Che was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he sigh lowly, and left Han Xin's tent a little lonely.

Fifty miles south of Shuanglong Mountain, Wild Horse Plain.

After the Chu army passed the Shuanglong Mountain, the terrain suddenly became flat, especially in the area of the Wild Horse Plain, a radius of hundreds of miles was a slightly undulating field, the plain was full of dry grass, and a gust of cold north wind blew, forming undulating grass waves, giving people a strong illusion of being in the desert grassland.

In later generations, the densely populated land of Huaisi was mostly an unexplored wasteland at this time.

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Xiang Bo caught up with Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, and said with a wheez: "Yu'er, according to the soldiers who are familiar with the nearby terrain, we will reach the Wujiang River two hundred miles further, hehe, when we cross the river, we will go home, and we will no longer have to live the ghost days of eating and sleeping in the open like this, and we will no longer have to worry about the pursuit and killing of the coalition army!" ”

Xiang Yu didn't have the slightest look of joy on his face, and he looked extremely lonely.

Xiang Zhuang next to him suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, you can't go any further!" ”

"Huh?" Xiang Yu turned his head when he heard the sound and cast a suspicious look at Ying Jun, but Xiang Bo frowned and said unhappily: "Ji'er, you crow's mouth, I said last time that there was an ambush in the upper reaches of the Tuoshui River, but it really attracted ambushes, causing our army to lose more than 4,000 soldiers, and now what nonsense are you going to talk about?" ”

Xiang Zhuang didn't bother to pay attention to Uncle Xiang, and said to Xiang Yu: "Brother Wang, let's change the course." ”

"Diversion?" Xiang Yu said in disbelief, "Third brother, have you found something?" ”

"The little brother didn't find anything, but his intuition told me that the front was full of danger." Xiang Zhuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, as a traverser, of course he knew that the front was full of dangers, if he continued to move forward, he could only fall into Han Xin's calculations, but how should he explain it to Xiang Yu? Straight up? Only a madman will believe it!

"Intuition?" Xiang Bo said disapprehantly, "It's ridiculous." ”

Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Xiang Sheng: "Xiang Sheng, you send a few more teams of scouts to carefully search the nearby wilderness." Then he said to the rest of the generals, "The rest of the departments, continue to move forward." ”

"No!" Xiang Sheng took the order, and the remnants of the five thousand began to rush forward again.

Although Xiang Zhuang knew the twist of the ambush on all sides, he didn't know which ten directions it was, so he couldn't be sure whether there were Han Xin's ambushes on the Wild Horse Plain, so he could only accompany him silently at the moment.

The Wild Horse Plain has a radius of more than 200 miles.

There is a low hill on the side of the Wujiang River in the south, on the top of the mountain that was originally a desolate place, but at this time there is suddenly an extra "chai tower" made of dry firewood, the gap in the middle of the chai tower is stuffed with dry white grass, and the top is also covered with a thick layer of white grass, and the white grass is also sprinkled with a lot of animal feces, as if it is wolf dung.

With heavy footsteps, Cao Shen pressed the hilt of his sword and walked to the side of the tower.

When Cao Shen put up the canopy and was about to look to the north, a flying horse had galloped from the northern wilderness, and in the sound of the horse's hooves, the flying horse rushed straight to the top of the mountain, and then the cavalry on horseback turned over and dismounted, kneeling on the ground and said: "General, general, Chu, the remnants of the Chu army have entered the heart of the wild horse field!" ”

"Good!" Cao Shen clapped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Light up the wolf smoke, order all directions, and raise fire at the same time!" ”

"No!" The captain of the pro-soldier school guarding behind Cao Shen suddenly agreed, and immediately turned around and made a move, and several pro-soldiers ran forward with torches held high, and lit the "Chai Tower" in two clicks, and in less than a moment, a thick smoke that could be hugged by several people had risen from the top of the small hill, and it was clearly visible for dozens of miles far and near.

Mustang Plain, the heartland.

The remnants of the 5,000 Chu army were advancing from north to south, hurrying forward.

Suddenly, a pawn pointed in front of him and shouted in horror: "Look, everyone, what is that?" ”

When Xiang Zhuang, who was riding a horse next to him, looked at it urgently, he saw a striking smoke rising from the southeast, and in an instant, Xiang Zhuang's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately hit the horse to catch up with Xiang Yu, and shouted loudly: "Brother Wang is not good, wolf smoke, the southeast direction found the wolf smoke of the communication of the coalition army!" ”

Xiang Zhuang's voice fell, and several riders flew in.

"The king, the king is not good, wolf smoke has been found in the north!"

"King, wolf smoke has also been found in the west, and there is an ambush!"

"Look, your lord, there is also wolf smoke in the northeast, east, and southeast!"

Xiang Yu hurriedly reined in the black horse, and when he looked around, he saw wolf smoke in eight different directions: east, south, west, northeast, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest.

The five thousand remnants were also in an uproar, if it weren't for Xiang Yu Jiwei's persistence, I was afraid that it would collapse in an instant.

Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, and was about to give the order to continue moving forward and preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy, but Xiang Zhuang suddenly came to his senses, immediately grabbed Xiang Yu's saddle, and yelled: "Brother Wang, quickly give the order and burn the wasteland!" ”

"Ji'er, you bastard!" Xiang Bo was shocked when he heard this, "This wild horse plain stretches for more than two hundred miles, and the artemisia grass is overgrown, and now it is a dry winter, once this fire is burned, it is simply wishful thinking to extinguish it, you actually want to order the fire to burn the plain, don't you want to let my 5,000 army die in the fire?" ”

"Fart!" Xiang Zhuang didn't care about the etiquette between his uncle and nephew, and said to Xiang Bo, and then said to Xiang Yu, "Brother Wang, if you don't order the fire, our army will really be wiped out!" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang looked around at the generals around him again, and said in a deep voice, "If I am not mistaken, the coalition forces have set fire around, and the fire is spreading towards here!" ”

The generals hurriedly looked around, only to see that there was indeed billowing black smoke in all directions, but this was not wolf smoke, but a smoke screen!

Suddenly, there was a sound of inhalation all around, Huan Chu, Xiao Gongjiao, Yu Ziqi, Zhong Liwu and other generals of the Chu army all showed a look of panic, in the end, no one in this world is not afraid of death, even the bravest warrior, when he really faces death, it is difficult to maintain his usual calm and calm.

The generals were still like this, and the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Chu army were even more riotous in an instant.

At this moment, even Xiang Yu and some of them couldn't restrain these remnants of the defeated generals, without waiting for Xiang Yu's order, there were already hundreds of remnants of the soldiers fleeing to the desert in all directions, and even the pro-soldiers were also deserters, Xiang Yu urged the black horse, and killed more than a dozen fleeing routs in a row, before finally curbing the sloppy military spirit.

"Brother Wang, hurry up and give the order!" Xiang Zhuang chased after Xiang Yu again, and said word by word, "Set fire, burn!" Xiang Zhuang didn't have time to explain to Xiang Yu, so he could only pull the reins of the black horse and said deeply, "Brother Wang, believe me, I will never watch the five thousand soldiers turn into ashes!" ”

There was an inexplicable color in Xiang Yu's eyes, and he immediately raised his head and shouted: "Order, set fire!" ”

"No!" In less than a moment, the center of the Mustang Plain was also ablaze with fire, and the scorching air currents pushed endless smoke and dust into the air, forming an endless black curtain of smoke clouds, like the end of the world.

##########

Fifty miles north of the Mustang Plain, a huge cavalry was marching south.

The rider will hold the saddle with his left hand and whip his right hand, urging the ** horse to gallop forward.

Black smoke has risen from the Wild Horse Plain in front, it seems that Cao Shen has launched a fire attack, looking at this fire, it is absolutely impossible for the infantry of the Chu army to escape from the Wild Horse Plain before the four wild fire heads are closed, as for the cavalry of the Chu army, hehe, even if they are lucky enough to break out of the encirclement of the fire, how can they escape the pursuit of the cavalry led by themselves?

This time, I will cut off Xiang Yu's head with my own hands! Xiang Yu Pifu, you are dead!

Thinking of the pride, the baby couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh three times, and then waved the whip and whipped it the horse's stock, ** The mount was in pain, and suddenly hissed sadly, and accelerated the running speed again.
