Hangu Pass.

War clouds are thick.

The revival of the new Qin and the overlord of the world, the state of Chu, inevitably collided, and the outcome of this war directly affected the future Shili territory.

After receiving Chen Ping's urgent report, Li Yuan quickly issued an emergency mobilization order, except for the Luo Jia cavalry troops stationed in Longxi because of the tight war between the Xiongnu and the Dayue clan, which could not be mobilized, the rest of the generals were all recruited to Qi, and even the border army also sent the junior general Meng Hu as a representative to participate.

Council Chamber.

Chen Ping was briefing on the latest movements east of Hangu Pass, and Xiang Zhuang's men and horses arrived in Luoyang on 11 June, and together with him, nearly 10,000 reinforcements from various princes from Wei and Hehin were arriving. The armies of these minor princes were ordered by Xiang Yu to transport grain and baggage.

In the face of Xiang Yu's strong personal strength and the proud achievements of the Chu army, small princes such as Wei Bao and Sima Qiong naturally did not dare to have the slightest neglect, as for what they were thinking in their hearts, it is unknown.

The vanguard of the Chu army was menacing.

The word "Xiang" is red everywhere, along the way, no matter which way the people and horses, they all retreat when they see it, and they dare not intimidate the soldiers of the Chu army, even Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who are inextricably fighting, also lead the army to stick to their territories as a wait-and-see attitude. Arriving in Henan smoothly, Xiang Zhuang, who led the army for the first time independently, was arrogant, and the scouts of Chu cavalry began to appear arrogantly in the plain outside Hangu Pass.

"Generals, the current situation we are facing is probably like this, according to the latest news, Xiang Yu's main force has just set off from Pengcheng, and it is estimated that it will take twenty days to reach Henan, and our time is running out." Chen Ping said, took his eyes away from a pile of bamboo slips and silk brocade, and then cast an inquiring glance at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan has been listening. In the process of Chen Ping's narration. He is also thinking about how to deal with it, Chen Ping's analysis of intelligence is quite clear, this is what he is good at, judging from the current situation, Xiang Yu is determined to attack Qin again, 70,000 elite Chu troops, accounting for nearly half of the current strength of the Western Chu State. Xiang Yu really made a lot of money.

"General Han, what do you think?" Li Yuan tapped on the table and asked Han Xin, who was sitting at the bottom. When Chen Ping spoke, Han Xin's brows stretched for a while and furrowed for a while, I don't know if he thought of any good ideas or felt that it was difficult to implement the plan.

After Li Yuan was promoted to the nineteenth-level Marquis of Guannei under the twentieth rank military lord system, his generals were also promoted accordingly. In addition to Zhang Han and Wang Li's own higher positions, with the retirement of the older generation of generals such as Xin Sheng and Yang Xiong, Han Xin, Luo Jia, Jiang Yu, and Wang Shang were promoted to partial generals respectively.

Han Xin is a talented general, and being a captain who commands two or three thousand people is indeed condescending, and he can't give full play to his ability, and Li Yuan has been looking for a suitable reason and opportunity.

The Qin army took the size of the battle exploits as the criterion for promotion, at this point. Li Yuan didn't want to break. Nor will it be broken. The formation of a system requires long-term persistence. Once broken, it was caused by fierce internal turmoil, and in this regard, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were examples, doing whatever they wanted based on their personal preferences, and the final result was that they were abandoned by the Qin people.

This time, Han Xin was promoted, mainly in the just-concluded battle against the flood, the young army led by Han Xin performed well, and after having enough merits, it was natural to be promoted.

"Li Hou, although the Chu army is menacing, it is not without flaws, according to the faith, if it can be coordinated in time and tactics, it can completely eat Xiang Zhuang's Chu army." Han Xin came out of the list and reported.

"Let's talk about it!" Li Yuan asked.

There are talents under his hands, and the feeling of having a general is different, when the other generals were still bowing their heads and thinking, Han Xin had an idea, which was good news for Li Yuan.

Bow down to everything, and come first in every battle.

Maybe a fierce person like Xiang Yu will find it very enjoyable, and Li Yuan, who feels the pain of no one available, will not think so, one person makes a decision, one makes a decision, and with Jihua is also a person to perfect, this kind of loneliness is something that others can't understand.

"Li Hou, generals, in Han's opinion, the Chu army has three defeats. First: Chu General Xiang Zhuang, who is arrogant and arrogant, has a reckless temperament, and is not a suitable general; Second: the Chu army came from afar, the soldiers were tired, and the combat strength was halved, and the other princes' troops were just farmers with weapons, so there was nothing to worry about; Third: The vanguard of the Chu army is too fast, resulting in a disconnect with the main force, if we can quickly decide, we can completely annihilate Xiang Zhuang's troops in one fell swoop. ”

"Xiang Zhuang is now stationed in Luoyang, if the Chu army does not come out, then what?" Li Yuan asked.

Listening to Li Yuan's question, Wang Shang, Jiang Yu and other young generals also cast questioning eyes to Han Xin, this year, these few Li Yuan's cronies and generals in the Qin army have also experienced one fierce battle after another, and the combat experience has been greatly accumulated, the gap between them and Han Xin has nothing to do with diligence, what is lacking is talent.

"If Xiang Zhuang doesn't come out, we will lead him out, and Han will take this task if he doesn't give in." Han Xin said confidently.

Han Xin took the lead in asking for orders, which made Wang Shang, Jiang Yu, Meng Hu and other generals beside him red-eyed. In terms of qualifications, Han Xin is the shortest among them, and when it comes to military exploits, Wang Shang and the others ask themselves how much worse than Han Xin, and now let Han Xin take the lead, which makes them how to explain to the soldiers under their command after they go back.

After a battle, there are big and small military achievements. Wang Shang and Jiang Yu's personal exploits are still secondary, and the key is to let the soldiers under his command have a head, and luring the enemy is naturally much more important than auxiliary tasks such as covering and defending the camp.

"Li Hou, recently Guanzhong has been hit by heavy rain, the water of the Hongnong stream in the Hangu Road has risen, our army can wait for the opportunity to cut off the stream all the way, and stay in the valley to plug the lake, and when the Chu army is chasing after him, he ordered the soldiers to dig through the broken stream, and when the water is rushing down, even if the Chu army in Xiangzhuang is fierce, it can't stop the surging water." Han Xin continued to talk about his thoughts, and just now he frowned thinking about how to let the Chu army throw itself into the net and annihilate the whole army after luring the enemy.

Mudslide.

When Li Yuan talked about intercepting the water and flooding the enemy as soon as Han Xin's eyes lit up. In later generations, due to the destruction of vegetation, major disasters occurred frequently in mountainous areas, among which mudslides caused by heavy rains were the most destructive disasters.

Turbidity currents are rolling.

The water is overwhelming.

No matter how powerful an army you are, you can't stop this great force of nature.

Han Xin's idea came out. Wang Shang and Jiang Yu were also overjoyed. The credit for luring the enemy cannot be discussed, and the credit for drowning the enemy in this stream cannot be run.

"Okay, General Han really calculated, in this way, the interception will be handed over to Ben Hou, but Xiang Zhuang's troops are the sharp cavalry of the Chu army. Fast speed, outstanding combat power, the best way to deal with this enemy army is to ride against horse, but unfortunately, now Luo Jia's cavalry is still in the Longxi area-! Li Yuan said as he set his eyes on Meng Hu.

"Li Hou, a thousand elite cavalry of the border army are willing to fight side by side with General Han. Please give it an order! Meng Hu strode out, his eyes full of war. Finally, he was going to confront his old opponent Chu Army again, the hatred of Julu's defeat and the elite of the border army was exhausted, Meng Hu always kept it in his heart, and revenge on the Chu people was not only his idea, but also the wish of Wang Li, Su Jiao and other border army soldiers.

The border army is known as the elite of the Qin cavalry. Although in Julu was heavily damaged by the Chu army. But after more than a year of recuperation, the vitality of the border army is recovering.

This time more than a thousand cavalry were sent. All of them are men who have been killed with the Huns, and the horse's riding skills are not unyielding compared to the nomads on the grassland, and more importantly, the war horses of this cavalry are all Hetao horses, and the abundant pastures in spring make these war horses fat and strong, and compared with the Chu cavalry of Xiangzhuang, they occupy a lot of advantages.

"Thank you, Li Hou. If you can kill the enemy together with General Meng, this battle will be won! Han Xin said calmly. The border army's participation in the war this time is still in the nature of an allied army, unless Li Yuan orders or Meng Hu himself asks for an order, it is impossible for a general of the same level like Han Xin to command the border army how to do it.

The Qin army was up and down, and the fighting spirit was high.

Time is pressing, the generals who have received the general's order have returned to their headquarters, and troops like Wang Shang who are still stationed in other places need to rush back as soon as possible to pull out the camp and set up the village, and converge along the gallop road to Hangu Pass.

Inside the council hall.

Only Li Yuan, Chen Ping, and a group of young Lang Zhong and attendants remained, Li Yuan stood in front of the sand table piled up in Hangu Pass and Henan, his eyes gradually stretched, looking in the direction of Pengcheng further east.

"Li Hou, are you worried about Xiang Yu's 70,000 Chu army?" Chen Ping approached and asked. After cooperating with Li Yuan for a long time, the tacit understanding between the two sides is also accumulating day by day, sometimes, with one action, one look, you can guess what the other party is thinking and worrying about.

"Changshi, did you say that Xiang Yu was dizzy with blood, and the Chu army almost poured out of the nest this time, aren't you afraid that someone will copy his back road?" Li Yuan said, his right hand pointed to the area of Jiujiang County.

Jiujiang County.

Located in the lake swamp between the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the lower reaches, it has always been a place where thieves are rampant, and there are many strong bandits, in the wave of anti-Qin, there are several shili such as Huang Bu, Zhu Ji Shi, Jing Ju, etc., and the combat effectiveness is very strong, after Xiang Yu was crowned king, Huang Bu, who was unexpectedly not named the prince king, returned to the hometown of Jiujiang, and quickly became the new boss of the bandit alliance.

"Li Hou, do you want to lobby Duo Bu to counterattack Xiang Yu, I'm afraid it's not easy? This person is a prisoner who escaped from Lishan, and he has a deep hatred for the Qin State, how can he help? Chen Ping was stunned and asked.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ping immediately understood Li Yuan's intentions, but in Chen Ping's opinion, Li Yuan's idea was too outrageous.

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Tu Bu, he is ambitious and not a long-lived person. Once Xiang Yu sends troops, Pengcheng is empty, it is a good time for Dubu, once he misses this opportunity, he can only be a water coward for the rest of his life. ”

Sima Qian's history book on the description of the character of Tu Bu, there may be some deviations, but the general direction will not change, Li Yuan believes that at this time, there must have been a lot of resentment towards Xiang Yu at this time, and now, it is time for this resentment to explode.
