Chapter 51: The Xiang Clan
Huan Chu and Ji Bu stepped forward to salute again, and when they saw the bloodstained white cloth strip wrapped around Xiang Zhuang's left shoulder, Ji Bu couldn't help but ask with concern: "General, are you injured?" ”
"Hey, out of the way." Xiang Zhuang said indifferently, "I suffered a little skin injury." ”
Zhong Liwu and Yu Ziqi also stepped forward to greet Wei Yi one after another, and Huan Chu and Ji Bu were each cold, Wei Yi was familiar with medical skills, and asked Xiang Zhuang with concern at the moment: "General, do you want to take a look at the old age?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Xiang Zhuang quietly shrugged his left shoulder and said indifferently, "It's not a problem to eat and dress, but don't think about holding the bow and carrying the knife with your left hand in a short period of time." ”
"Hey, I'm trying to tell you." Wei Yu said, "General, although you are strong in martial arts and unstoppable, you are the chief general of the Fifth Army after all, and the safety of one person is related to the life and death of thousands of Chu army soldiers, so in the future, you can no longer take the lead and charge into battle, this kind of thing Jingqian and Gao Chu are fully competent." ”
"Strategist, why did you forget our old man?" Huan Chu next to him said unhappily, "Jing Qian, this kid's martial arts are good, he can be regarded as the true inheritance of the first king and the general, and the martial arts competition is quite like that, but he is still tender after all, if he is really desperate, he may not be our Lao Huan's opponent." ”
Jing Qian, who was following Xiang Zhuang, was naturally unconvinced, but how could he dare to refute?
Gao Chu found Qin Yu from among more than 100 female soldiers, and immediately threw an ambiguous flattering glance over, but he didn't want Qin Yu to return him with a blank eye, and ignored him at all, but Gao Chu came to Qin Yu with a cheap smile, and said in a low voice: "In the old place at night, teach me to read, and I will teach you the art of arrow." ”
Qin Yudeng's beautiful eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Words count, don't cheat." ”
"When did my brother cheat? If you really cheat, I'll let you ......" Gao Chu said here deliberately, and said with a sneer, "Xiaoyu'er, you know." Qin Yu glanced at Gao Chu viciously, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of scissors, Gao Chu's face turned pale when he boarded, and he ran away with his butt clamped.

In the lofty mountains and mountains north of Anfeng County, more than 2,000 remnants of the Chu army are staggering forward along the river valley.
Since yesterday, it has suddenly rained in the mountains, and the valley, which is not easy to walk, has become more and more muddy and difficult to walk.
Xiang Han is about thirty years old, older than Xiang Yu, and his appearance is quite heroic.
But to be honest, Xiang Han, whether it is martial arts or the ability to command troops, can only be regarded as a middle-level asset, and he can become the general of the Western Chu State by his surname, because his surname is Xiang's clan, so he has been reused by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to have today's status.
Seeing that it was getting dark, and the road in the river valley in front of him was really muddy and difficult to walk, Xiang Han planned to find a slightly higher place to camp and rest, and was about to give an order, when his own soldiers suddenly came back with Xiao Kai.
"Xiao Kai!?" Xiang Han was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Have you found Xiang Zhuang?" ”
"Found it, found it!" Xiao Kai gasped and said, "General, I've found the general!" ”
"General?" Xiang Han couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then frowned and asked, "Who is the general?" ”
"Well, General, that's right." Xiao Kai hurriedly commented, "Before the king died in battle, he had appointed the three generals as the generals of the Chu State, and the army of the Chu State was also handed over to the three generals to command. ”
"Xiang Zhuang has become a general?" Xiang Han frowned and said, "How many soldiers and horses does he have now?" ”
"This villain didn't ask, but the general should have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses now."
"Are there more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Xiangzhuang?" Xiang Han frowned, and sighed again, "It seems that the state of Chu is really overpowered. ”
Xiao Kai was speechless, and only after a long time did he say, "General, let's hurry up and meet with the general." ”
"It's fine." Xiang Han nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Order the whole army, everyone cheer up, hurry overnight, and then tell them that Xiang Zhuang has sent scouts to meet in front, our hard days are over, and soon we will have meat to eat, wine to drink, and fragrant white rice to eat." ”
"No!" The two soldiers agreed and went separately.

In the dead of night, the wooden house in Xiangzhuang was brightly lit.
Wei Zhuang was still not at ease, he had just personally applied herbs to Xiang Zhuang and re-bandaged it with a clean bandage, Xiang Zhuang had already taken a hot bath just now, and had eaten hot wine and meat meals, and his spirit and complexion had recovered a lot, and he was no longer as awkward as when he first returned, and his face was gray.
Wei Yu washed his hands in the wooden basin, and said with great joy: "General, this sword is really thrilling, if you go up a little more, I am afraid that you will have to cut the tendons, then the general, your entire left arm will be useless, if it is an inch down, it will be even more dangerous." ”
Xiang Zhuang smiled faintly and didn't say anything, if he didn't have enough understanding of the human body structure, how could he dare to let the young general of the Han army stab a sword in his shoulder? However, this sword was really not in vain, although the Han army colonel stabbed Xiang Zhuang with a sword, he paid the price with his life, the only pity is that he still failed to kill Liu Bang in the end.
Wei Yi also said with pity: "The general led 3,000 remnants of soldiers to complete the earth-shattering counterattack in a desperate situation, and broke through Liu Bang's camp in one fell swoop, which is really a feat of earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods, but it is a pity that the whole work has not been completed, if Liu Bang can really be killed, then the overall situation of the world will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes, and the revival of Dachu is just around the corner." ”
"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't kill Liu Bang." Xiang Zhuang said, "However, there is still hope for the revival of Dachu!" ”
"The general's ability to command troops in battle is already known to the whole world, but ......," Wei Yu said for a moment, and said without worry, "But now, after all, our army has only more than 3,600 people left, and with such a weak force, if you want to attack Aocang for a long distance, and then force all the princes to return to the division to save themselves, it is really not enough." ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded, and suddenly said: "By the way, the military advisor didn't say that I almost forgot, in a few days, maybe there will be a remnant of the Chu army of more than 2,000 people who will come here to meet, in this way, our army will have more than 5,000 people, although the strength is still a little thin, but at least there is already the strength of a battle!" ”
"And the remnants of the Chu army?" Wei Yu said, "The army from Jiangdong? ”
"Yes, it was defeated from Koto." Xiang Zhuang said, "The leader of the army will be the Xiang clan, Xiang Han!" ”
Wei Yu nodded, and suddenly said: "As far as the old man knows, among the children of your Xiang clan, there are still quite a few capable people, such as Xiang He, who has the talent of the prime minister, and his ability to govern the country is almost not under the Han Prime Minister Xiao He!" There are also Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tuo, who are also quite talented, but unfortunately they were either killed in battle or defeated and captured, but the rest are all busy people. ”
For Wei Yu's point of view, Xiang Zhuang still quite agrees, Xiang he does have the talent of the prime minister, but it is a pity that several counties under his rule are often harassed by Peng Yue, which is also known in history "Peng Yue scratches Chu", it is because of Peng Yue's attack that Xiang He can not show his political talent, and the Surabaya counties have not been able to become the rear of Chu.
On the other hand, Xiao He, due to the stable political situation in Bashu and Guanzhong, will not be disturbed by large-scale attacks, coupled with Liu Bang's trust, Xiao He was able to display his political talents, and govern the already rich Bashu and Guanzhong in an orderly manner, becoming Liu Bang's big rear.
Because of this, Xiao He finally became a capable minister who went down in history, but Xiang He was nameless.
There are also Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tuo, both of whom have the ability to stand alone, and Xiang Sheng once led the troops to break Yingbu, although there was a dragon and was his deputy general at that time, but if Xiang Sheng did not have a certain ability, or the courage to listen to the correct advice, how could he break Yingbu? You must know that Yingbu is one of the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty!
The rest of Xiang Guan, Xiang Han, and Xiang Ying are all mediocre talents.
It's a pity that after Xiang Yu's death, most of these Xiang clan disciples withered.
Xiang Han is about to lead two thousand remnants to join Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan has followed Chen Ying to retreat to Qiantang, Xiang Ying followed the dragon and cut down Qi, and finally the dragon was defeated, but Xiang Ying had no news, and he didn't know whether he was killed in battle, or captured, or ran to hide incognito.
Xiang Sheng, as the only general with prestige and ability to blackmail Xiang Zhuang's position as a general, has been taken away by Xiang Yu, but I am afraid that he has already died by the Wujiang River, as for Xiang Tuo, who was awarded the title of Zhuguo and the magistrate of Dang, Xiang Yu did not accompany him when his troops were defeated, and now I don't know if he can surrender to Han, if he does not surrender, I don't know whether he is alive or dead?
In the end, Xiang He was left, but he must have been captured by the Qi army when Pengcheng fell, as a son of the Xiang clan, and he was still a well-known Wenchen, Han Xin would definitely not kill him easily, and now most of them are still locked up in Pengcheng's prison, but unfortunately Xiang Zhuang is now outnumbered, and he is unable to rescue him at all.
"Strategist, don't talk about this." Xiang Zhuang quickly broke free from his depressed mood, and then strode to the wooden frame where the simple map was hung, pointed to the map and said, "Let's discuss the strategy of a long-distance attack on Aocang, I always think it is safest to indirectly cross the Dabie Mountain and go north through the Hengshan Country!" ”
Wei Yi stepped forward happily, what he admired most about Xiang Zhuang was not his martial arts or his strategy, but his firm belief in never giving up and always believing in himself! No matter how difficult the situation is, Xiang Zhuang will not give up easily, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Xiang Zhuang has always believed in himself and will be able to turn the danger into a disaster!
Under the premise that Liu Bang's troops and talents are all inferior to Xiang Yu, why was he able to defeat Xiang Yu in the end? Just because he also has this belief, Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu in several Xingyang battles, but he never gave up! And the reason why Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang was because he lacked this belief in never giving up! #####ps# ★ ★ The smoke is gone, and the generous rewards of book friends are very grateful.
