Chapter 10 Where to Go?
Such a result was actually expected by Xiang Zhuang.
People live in the world, except for being able to rely on yourself, no one else can count on it, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi are willing to be loyal to Xiang Yu, which does not mean that they will obey Xiang Zhuang, although Xiang Yu has appointed Xiang Zhuang as the general of Chu State, and also gave Xiang Zhuang his own Wang Jian and Qin Shi Huang's jade seal, but so what?
Prestige is not given by others, it is earned by oneself from the battlefield little by little!
The current crisis is a severe test for Xiang Zhuang, if Xiang Zhuang can't resolve it, it means that he is not qualified to be the general of Chu at all.
The reason why Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi stood by and watched was not because they were unwilling to obey Xiang Yu's royal orders, let alone because they had already rebelled against Chu and returned to Han, but because they knew very well that if Xiang Zhuang was not up to the task, then everyone might as well disperse as soon as possible and flee for their lives.
The standoff continued, and the air was suffocating.
Xiang Zhuang took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Tell me, do you want to die or live?" ”
Xiang Zhuang's voice was like thunder, rolling and echoing in the silent valley, startling countless night birds in the forest, and even the outermost Chu soldiers could faintly hear it.
"If you want to die, then cut me down first, and then flee for your life."
"But I tell you, you won't be able to run away, and soon, the coalition scouts will find you, and in less than half a day, everyone will be slaughtered! Surrender is even worse, if it was before, surrender would still be able to save your life, but now there are not many Chu troops left, and the soldiers of the coalition army will not accept your surrender at all in order to kill their heads and make meritorious contributions. ”
Xiang Bo's 2,000 parts immediately whispered, because they knew that Xiang Zhuang was not talking nonsense, it was indeed a little late to surrender now, if they were senior generals with status and status, they might still be able to survive, but these pawns, once they surrendered, they would definitely be beheaded, and then transformed into the exploits of the coalition soldiers.
"If you don't want to die, then go back to sleep!" Xiang Zhuang roared again, and the whispering stopped abruptly.
Catching up with the stunned eyes of the soldiers, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Raise enough strength, run away with me tomorrow!" I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to take all of you back to Jiangdong alive, but at least, it will be easier for you to survive with me, in terms of martial arts, I am far less than one-ten-thousandth of the king, but when it comes to the ability to save life, the king is far inferior to me! ”
When the words fell, many soldiers laughed dumbly, and the tense atmosphere suddenly collapsed into invisibility.
Outside, Huan Chu and Ji Bu couldn't help but exchange a look, Xiang Zhuang's ability to save his life, they have seen it more than once, whether it is on the edge of the Tuo River, at the foot of Shuanglong Mountain, or on the Wild Horse Plain, Xiang Zhuang is very alert, he seems to have an almost instinctive ability to predict danger.
However, what surprised Huan Chu and Ji Bu even more was that a confrontation that almost brewed into an uproar was easily resolved by Xiang Zhuang? Coupled with the ruthlessness of killing Xiang Bo before, Xiang Zhuang's performance is old enough, except that he has no experience in leading the army alone, he is almost already an excellent commander.
Zhong Liwu and Xiao Gongjiao were also shocked, brushing the tiger's whiskers under their chins, each thinking about it.
Yu Ziqi looked up at the sky, outside of the gods, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart?
A confrontation that almost brewed into a mutiny collapsed invisibly, and Xiang Bo's subordinates, who had just been tense, also returned to the camp to sleep, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi also stepped forward to greet Xiang Zhuang, and then returned to their respective camps with their subordinates without mentioning it.
It wasn't until this moment that Xiang Zhuang could breathe a sigh of relief.
Hurriedly returning to the hut that was temporarily used as a military tent, Xiang Zhuang didn't take a breath and ordered Jing Qian and Gao Chu to hang a white cloth on the wall of the back door, and the white cloth was painted with scribbled patterns of mountains, rivers and rivers, which was a "military map" drawn by Xiang Zhuang since he crossed and consulted many soldiers who were familiar with the nearby terrain.
The light of the Songming torch drove away the darkness in the hut, but it could not drive away the gloom in Xiang Zhuang's heart.
Although the mutiny of Xiang Bo's troops was resolved, the situation faced by the remnants of the Chu army remained unchanged, and the 700,000 troops of Liu Bang, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and others were still watching on the side.
Running for your life, in addition to running for your life, or running for your life, the top priority is to run for your life!
However, in which direction should the remnants of the Chu army flee? Where is the way to live?
The current location of the remnants of the Chu army should be between Huaishui and Wujiang, not far from a certain valley in Dongcheng County, where there was originally a large town of one hundred and ten households, but now, due to the conflict between Chu and Han, years of war, the old and young in the village walked, died, and half of the living creatures were gone, and even a mouse could not be found.
Dingzhuang's gaze moved from the map, and finally fixed on Shouchun City.
After Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he divided the world, Yingbu was named the king of Jiujiang, the capital was in Shouchun, and then Yingbu rebelled against Chu, Xiang Yu punished the general Long and defeated Yingbu, Jiujiang became the Jiujiang County of Chu, before the decisive battle, Zhou Yin, who stayed in Jiujiang, rebelled against Chu, and the Han general Liu Jia and Yingbu attacked Xiang Yu, and its rebels went north from Shouchun.
Now, Zhou Yin's rebels should still be in the middle of the wall and have not returned, and Shouchun can be described as empty in defense!
Moreover, although Zhou Yin has turned his back on the Chu State, his subordinates may not be of the same mind as him, and the rebels who stayed in Shouchun may not have the old troops loyal to the Xiang clan and the Chu State.
Even if there is no old Chu State among the rebels, even if they can't defeat Shouchun, it doesn't matter.
Because, Xiang Zhuang's real goal is not Shouchun City, but the mountains west of Shouchun - Dabie Mountain Area!
The remnants of the Chu army are less than 4,000 people, while the coalition forces of various countries have more than 700,000 people, so if you want to survive, you can only drill into the mountains, and Dabie Mountain is undoubtedly the best choice!
Of course, Xiang Zhuang never thought of occupying the mountain as the king, which is simply wishful thinking, because at this time, Dabie Mountain is definitely a primeval forest in the true sense, and even woodcutters and hunters can't find a few, let alone densely populated towns, so Dabie Mountain does not have the prerequisites for becoming a base at all.
The only thing Xiang Zhuang wants is to rely on the Dabie Mountains to launch a ** with 700,000 coalition troops!
When the coalition army is tired, dragged down, given up, and withdrawn, the Chu army will stand out again, or fight back to Jiangdong, or turn to the world, in short, as long as there is still a breath of air, Xiang Zhuang will never give up lightly, because he knows that surrendering Liu Bang is definitely a dead end, hold on, or there is still a glimmer of hope.
With a decision in his heart, Xiang Zhuang was no longer afraid of gains and losses, and immediately instructed Jing Qian and Gao Chu: "Put away the map and sleep!" ”
"No!" Jing Qian and Gao Chu carefully put away the map at the moment, and then left the hut.
Before going out, Gao Chu suddenly asked Jing Qian in a low voice: "Jing Qian, the general has been staring at Shouchun just now, does he want to fight Shouchun?" We now have less than 4,000 men, and the morale of the army is weak, and the brothers have been hungry for several days, but Shouchun is a city high and a ditch is deep, can we fight it? ”
"How do I know that?" Jing Qian said, "Anyway, whatever the general says, I will do." ”
"You kid, you're just stunned." Gao Chu didn't have a good airway, "When can I learn to use my brain?" ”
The sound of the dispute between the two gradually faded away, but Xiang Zhuang, who had taken off his armor and lay down, was slightly moved, Jing Qian and Gao Chu could be said to be the henchmen of his Xiang Zhuang, but the personalities of the two people were very different, Jing Qian was brave and fierce, and he was straightforward by nature, although Gao Chu's martial arts were slightly inferior, but he was quite witty, and both of them could be called manufacturable materials.

In the camp of the Qi army, the wine feast is still not over.
Liu Bang pretended to be too drunk, and left the Han Xin tent with the support of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and when he came out of the tent, Zhang Liang gave Cao Shen who was sitting at the bottom without a trace, and Cao participated in the meeting, and soon after Liu Bang left, he also left the big tent under the pretext of changing clothes (going to the toilet), and quietly came to Liu Bang's big tent.
When Cao Shen walked into the big tent, Liu Bang was soaking his feet under the service of two beautiful maids.
It is quite rude to meet guests or subordinates when soaking their feet, but Cao Shen followed Liu Bang all the way from Pei County, and he knew very well what kind of person Liu Bang was, so he did not feel the slightest displeasure, but calmly walked to the table and knelt down next to Chen Ping.
Liu Bang's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he asked Cao Shendao, "Han Xin, how is it?" ”
This question was clueless, but Cao Shen knew what Liu Bang meant, and immediately replied: "The king divided the land of Huaisi to the state of Qi, and the king of Qi was very satisfied, whether in public or in private, he praised the king, and Fan Yang's debater Kuaiche maliciously slandered the king several times, but was reprimanded by the king of Qi instead. ”
Liu Bang nodded, and suddenly said, "Well, then you go back first." ”
"Minister, retire." Cao Shen waved at Liu Bang, got up and left.
After Cao Shen left, Liu Bang suddenly asked Zhang Liang and Chen Pingdao: "You say, how about changing the title of Han Xin to the king of Chu?" ”
"The king is wise." Zhang Liang and Chen Ping clasped their fists in unison, echoing loudly, Xiang Yu is dead, Chu is dead, and now is indeed the time to cut Han Xin's military power.
