Wugong Mountain, Xiaohua Mountain.

These two mountains are far away from each other, just like a pair of twin brothers, and the Han army's siege and hunting operations around Wugong Mountain not only made Han Xin feel pressure, but even Yongwang Zhanghan, who was stationed in Xiaohua Mountain, was also very uneasy.

Military Chamber.

Yongwang Zhang Han was talking to Zhang Ping, the only deputy general who was still following under his tent, his back was slightly hunched, which was the sequelae left by years of marching to inspect the map, and his hair was much whiter than a year ago, and he lost his previous high-spirited spiritual momentum.

Zhang Ping had just come back from Feng Ling, and he didn't even bother to wash, so he hurried to report to Zhang Han. Zhang Han and Zhang Ping are born in the right Feng Yi, which is a rich place in Guanzhong, Zhang Ping has gone to Feng Ling for the second time to recruit troops, the first time was when Zhang Han was appointed as King Yong, at that time, Feng Ling's father contributed 7,000 generals to Zhang Han, accounting for almost half of Zhang Han's army.

"Brother Ping, how is the recruitment?" Zhang Han asked anxiously.

"Big brother, this time, hey, it's my brother's incompetence-!" Zhang Ping's face was full of indignation, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and said with a sigh. This time, Feng Ling's treatment was drastically different from the last time, last time, Feng Ling's father regarded Zhang Ping as a future dependent, almost responsive, this time, Zhang Ping encountered a bunch of cynicism.

"Did the patriarch of the clan say anything?" Zhang Han's face was also a little unpleasant, but he still had a trace of hope, he didn't know about other clans, but the Zhang clan was still sure.

"Big brother, the elders of the clan said that a good man should not be a lackey of the Chu people." Zhang Ping said in a low voice, and his face also showed a little shame.

Minion!

This infamy made the Zhang brothers bow their heads and be speechless for a long time. In the past year, too many cold words have hit, which makes Zhang Han, who was once glorious and stood at the top of the power layer of Great Qin, embarrassed.

There were no blood transfusions for recruits.

Zhang Han also had no confidence to fight against Liu Bang and Li Yuan.

Liu Bang is a Chu person, and soldiers can be recruited from Guandong, while Zhang Han is a Qin person, and if he wants to recruit troops in Guandong, it is impossible for anyone to vote, and in Guanzhong, the Qin people regard him as a lackey who betrayed Qin, so in such a dilemma, Zhang Han is actually desperate.

"King Baoyong, there is a person outside, send a famous thorn to ask to see!" Just when Zhang Han and Zhang Ping were silent and relatively speechless, a personal guard came in with a thin silk book.

Zhang Han took the silk book, unfolded it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhang Ping, you quickly go and lead the people outside to the back camp, I will arrive later, remember, don't let the Han envoy find out." ”

Zhang Ping was a little puzzled and asked, "Big brother, who is coming to see you?" ”

Zhang Han eagerly lowered his voice, looked at the left and right and stepped back, and said, "From the west!" ”

"It's Lee!" Zhang Ping's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly led a group of cronies and soldiers to arrange the arrangements.

On the name thorn, the word "Chen Ping" is clearly written.

Who is Chen Ping?

Zhang Han was naturally clear, he never thought that this number one strategist under Li Yuan would come to him at such a special time.

Before the fall of the Qin State, Zhang Han belonged to Zhao Gao's faction, and Li Principle was basically his own family, and with the slogan of "Qing Jun's side", Zhao Gao Shili was wiped out, and Zhang Han at that time had accepted Zhao Gao's secret order and sent troops to try to return to Xianyang from the northern front, but later because of the blockage of Li Yuan's cavalry, he was not able to pick up Zhao Gao.

According to this analysis of the relationship, Li Yuan and Zhang Han can be said to have insoluble grudges, there is no possibility of cooperation or reconciliation, and there has been no direct contact between them for a long time, and this time, the sudden visit of a heavyweight like Chen Ping caught Zhang Han off guard.

What is Li Yuan going to do?

What kind of news will Chen Ping's visit bring?

Zhang Han felt like a river and a sea in his mind for a while, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, so he had to let Zhang Ping come forward and calm Chen down first.

Rear battalion.

Zhang Han's cronies and generals have been strictly guarding here, these generals are all from the Qin people in Guanzhong, as for the Chu soldiers who brought trouble to Zhang Han, they were placed by Zhang Han in a military camp at the bottom of the mountain, without the transfer of the tiger talisman, these Chu soldiers could not step into Zhang Han's Chinese army.

In the tent, Chen Ping was wearing a green shirt, his hair was in a high bun, and his face was slightly tired, and he happened to be accompanied by Zhang Ping for a while, saying some innocuous kind words.

"Chen Changshi, please forgive me, King Yong is changing clothes, and he needs to wait a little longer." Zhang Ping got Zhang Han's instruction and put the shelf very well first.

King Yong.

This is one of the seventeen princes and kings in the world.

In comparison, Li Yuan is just a county guard and a miscellaneous armed force in a remote small county, and he is too far from Zhang Han in terms of fame and official position.

"General Zhang has been in good health recently, but he is worried about recruitment?" Chen Ping smiled and said lightly. Zhang Han's every move in Guanzhong was under the surveillance of Chen Ping's scout eyeliner, and Zhang Ping's encounter with Feng Ling included Chen Ping's credit for letting people spread the news.

"Our soldiers are well fed, and Mr. Lao is not worried." Zhang Ping was exposed by Chen Ping, and his face was extremely ugly all of a sudden.

"Soldiers, it's true, Fang Caiping looked at the layout in the camp, the number of your army is about 10,000 people, I don't know how accurate it can be guessed; As for the sufficiency of food, look at the lieutenant general's expression is grim, standing weakly, I don't know if it is because of hunger? Chen Ping smiled and mercilessly nailed Zhang Ping's panic to the flagpole.

"Is the gentleman here to humiliate the old man?" Zhang Han, who was hesitant behind the tent, heard this, and couldn't hold back any longer, and opened the tent.

"No, I came here to relieve the general's worries and save the general's life." Chen Ping's face was full of waves, and he had already expected Zhang Han to listen to it.

"Would you like to hear more?" Zhang Han's face changed, his heart jumped several times, and finally asked. once boasted of unparalleled resourcefulness, and once prideful no one in his eyes. Now, it's all a dream.

Zhang Han, who has commanded as many as 400,000 horses, now has less than 10,000 troops under his command. A while ago, following Long and conquering Li Yuan unsuccessfully, and on the way back, he was intercepted by Luo Jia, although Zhang Han was not wiped out like Long and Dong Peng, but his strength was also lost a lot, which is also one of the reasons why he chose to take the initiative to retreat after learning that Liu Bang was in charge of Hanzhong.

Strength is the only criterion for measuring strength and weakness among princes. In contrast, fame is only an auxiliary option, and fame alone without strength is like a tree without roots and water without a source.

"Since the general is a Qin person, he should serve the interests of the Qin people, why is he obsessed with it now, but instead serves the enemy, this is the way to die, does the general really not know, or pretends not to know?" Chen Ping asked in a deep voice.
