Zheng Guoqu.

A barren grass is lodging, and in the open space, more than a thousand selected dead soldiers are standing here quietly, being inspected by Zuihou before the expedition.

This is already the forefront of the battle between the two armies, Han Xin holds the reins of his horse, the plate hat on his head is smooth and simple, plus a dark soft armor, and a solemn expression, even if he knows Han Xin, he can't recognize it for a while. By Han Xin's side, Han Si looked nervously at the unfamiliar army not far away, this was an army wearing a red cloth jacket and a red scarf, and red was the symbol color of the anti-Qin Chu army.

There is no need to even change clothes, and the team of dead soldiers commanded by Han Xin is about to embark on an unknown journey of death.

There was no cheering send-off, no lively scenes.

The western part of Guanzhong, for these Chu army prisoners, was originally a strange place that could no longer be unfamiliar, but now, they have to fight to defend it.

No.

Not to defend this place, but to let the brothers of the compatriots live, so that the bloodline of the family can continue, and at the same time, it is also to fight for themselves again, as the captain surnamed Han said, if God opens his eyes, he will make a great contribution this time, and then he will be able to become a legitimate Qin army.

"Soldiers, brothers, some of you may know me, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am the former Chu Junlang Zhonghan Xin, and now, let me tell you, what is the task this time? In the next fifteen days, we will go all the way east, deep behind the Han army, attack every Han army baggage force that can be found, and cut off the head of every Han army general and colonel that can be cut off, are you afraid? Han Xin's voice was low, his eyes were cold, and he had a cold aura.

Among these prisoners and dead soldiers, there are indeed some people who know Han Xin, of course, the definition of this understanding is only to see two or three sides, and it is impossible to have a deeper relationship. Han Xin used to be the object of their idle talk and ridicule, but now, they suddenly found that it was not Han Xin who was really ridiculed, but themselves.

The rapid wheezing sound of more than a thousand dead soldiers came, getting heavier and heavier, and no one responded to Han Xin's words, they all tried their best to widen their eyes and open their ears, waiting for Han Xin's next words.

"If you are afraid, you can't quit, on the journey of death, there are only warriors who die in battle, there are no cowardly cowards, you can only move forward, not backward, and if you want to escape, think more about your comrades and brothers who are detained in Yongqi, think more about this pass, where can you run to a Chu person?" Han Xin sneered mercilessly, stabbing the deepest part of the hearts of these dead men like a sword.

"Captain Han, if we come back alive, can you let us and our families leave freely?" A bearded, unkempt man asked.

Han Xin glanced at the man, suddenly laughed, and said, "Zheng Da, you are still alive, I think you have already died in the chaos, why, do you still want to go back alive?" ”

This Zheng Da was once the former army scout of the Long and Chu Army, Han Xin also knew that when he was discussing the Long and Chu Army, as an inconspicuous junior officer, Han Xin and Zheng Da stood side by side, and they also chatted with each other, of course, they were all meaningless greetings.

"There is still a sixty-year-old mother alive at home, if none of my brothers can return this time, my mother may not be dead soon!" Zheng Da lowered his head, his shoulders twitching. This time the Chu army was defeated, and he was not the only one who was captured, but also the second and third brothers, and the three brothers went out together, if they all lost their lives, this blow was like the sky falling for a sixty-year-old man.

"If you make a great achievement, you can go back-!" Han Xin took a deep breath, glanced at a pair of eyes for hope, and then said loudly.

This time, it is a mission of nine deaths, even if the task is completed and there is a life to go back, there will not be many such lucky people, even if a few are released, it will not affect anything, Han Xin believes that with Li Yuan's cleverness, he will not be blind to these little things.

"No!"

"No! Captain Xie is complete! Many prisoners shouted in unison, many with tears in their eyes, they were looking forward to the reunion scene after the victory, after being away from home for so long, these brave soldiers were homesick.

As fellow Chu people, Han Xin has a good grasp of the psychology and thoughts of these Chu army captives, and it is impossible for these prisoners to work for the Qin army willingly, and empty promises such as promotion and wealth are not attractive to the prisoners who have seen the wealth of Xianyang.

At this time, the only thing that can make these captives feel is blood and family, the continuation of the family, the life and death of a mother and compatriots, this bond rooted in the depths of the soul will always be the most fragile point of human nature, as long as it is a living person with flesh and blood and thoughts, it is impossible not to be moved, unless you are completely cold-blooded.

――。

Han Xin was planning for the imminent attack of the Han army, and in the territory of Wugong County, the vanguard of the Han army, under the command of the general Guan Ying, began to cross the Weishui and attack in the direction of Fufeng.

After the death of Fan Xu, the infant was gradually reused by Liu Bang, in the choice of the pioneer of the charging trap, the infant was the first to be given, this attack on Yongqi, Liu Bang was also cautious, after a few thoughts, Zuihou still decided to let the infant who had been in battle with Li Yuan as the vanguard.

From a small cloth vendor to the number one general under the command of King Han.

The baby is full of spirits.

In the Han army system in power in the hands of the old brothers of Pei County, when a cloth dealer who joined later can quickly stand out, there is an element of luck, but more of it is the effort to irrigate the baby.

The road is empty.

In the winter, there are no people, and even the barking of wild dogs cannot be heard.

"Guan Hou, the scouts searched for dozens of miles, but they found no trace of the enemy, and they didn't find any Qin people's cottages!" A scout rider came back from the front, panting and puffing in return.

The vanguard of the 5,000 Han army has been traveling in Wugong County for more than half a day, along the way, there is hardly any farmhouse smoke, let alone a human figure, the people in this area have fled to the territory of Yongqi after many wars, leaving behind the ruins of a place.

"The Qin people are going to let us march without food, without drink, and with hunger, at this time and that time, this is too underestimate our Han army, come here, order the rear army baggage team, hurry up and cross the river, bury the pot and make rice-!" Guan Ying snorted coldly and shouted loudly.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

This time, under Zhang Liang's planning, the Han army's grain and straw accumulated in Lantian Pass were enough for the consumption of 20,000 troops for a month.

The Han army has gradually changed from a rogue army to a regular army, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also constantly improving, and the ability of many generals has begun to show the potential for development with the accumulation of battles again and again.
