The abilities of Guo Ting, Zhang Ping, and Xue Ou could only be regarded as the midstream level among the brilliant generals of the Han State in the past, and in the face of the sudden attack of the Qin army, they lost their composure for a while.

Lü Pheasant ordered a retreat.

made Guo Ting and the others breathe a sigh of relief, these rogues were finally defeated and retreated, and one by one their faces were as white as earth, and they no longer had the color of arrogance.

Shao Xi Mountain Col.

The temporary camp of the Lu Pheasant Army, which was originally composed of more than 3,000 elites, was demoralized, and it no longer had the high momentum when it had been pulling out the mountains and capturing the village all the way. For a team without roots, failure is unforgivable, because, on the surface, they are so strong that they can't afford to lose even a small loss.

Especially after seeing the tenacity of the Qin army in Wuguan, the contradictions within the Lü Pheasant army began to intensify. Seeing the turmoil in the army's heart, Lu Pheasant had no choice but to order to withdraw from Wuli and find a mountain col as a temporary resting place.

"Where is that kid Lu Shizhi! Let him come to me? As soon as Guo Ting withdrew, he shouted loudly with his red eyes.

After Lu Ze's death, Lu Pheasant handed over the power to lead the army to fight in the hands of Guo Ting, Zhang Ping, Xue Ou and other old generals of the Han army, this kind of apparent affinity began to move many people, but then, Guo Ting and others found that Lu Pheasant secretly handed over the rest of Lu Ze to Lu Shizhi.

At the same time, Lu Shizhi also took on the task of spying on the military situation of the Qin State, this mission is difficult to say, it is easy to say that it is very easy, in the hinterland of the Qin State, if you really want to find out the movements of the Qin army, it is not easy, and if you deal with it casually, with the current difficult situation of Lu Pheasant, Guo Ting and others, it is difficult to find Lu Shizhi's inaction.

Lu Pheasant asked Lu Shizhi to be in charge of this part, mainly because he wanted to calm Lu Shizhi's idea of leading troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to show Guo Ting and others, and the people of his Lu family were also taking risks. It is also possible that he lost his life in the battle with the Qin.

I have to say that Lu Pheasant has good intentions, but unfortunately, Lu Shizhi is not Lu Ze, and his ability can only be regarded as mediocre at best, and sometimes even mediocre.

Lu Shizhi's incompetence caused Guo Tingjun to suffer heavy losses. In a reckless round of attack, the Qin army lost nearly 300 men. Guo Ting was furious, just now, he just watched one after another of his subordinates wailing and falling on the way forward. Not long ago, some of them had been killed in the battle to capture the city of Hanzhong.

"Fuck, this battle is really a wreck, before the battle, who patted his chest and said that there was no Qin army on Wuguan?" Guo Ting's eyes were red, and he shouted angrily.

"Big brother, don't say this in front of your wife, after all, you and my brother are outsiders, and they are sisters and brothers?" Zhang Ping dragged Guo Ting into his tent. Diesheng said.

"What's wrong with my sister and brother, if it weren't for our old department, no matter how good he was, the Lu clan wouldn't be able to make such a big move in Hanzhong. If it weren't for Lu Ze's kindness to us and others, Lao Tzu would have led his troops directly into the mountain at this time. Guo Ting scolded and scolded.

After this battle, his troops suffered the most losses, and more than a dozen of them were old brothers who followed him from Yunmeng Daze. Without these arrogant soldiers under his command, Guo Ting's confidence to speak would be insufficient.

"Into the mountains. Brother Guo, it's not easy to enter the mountain. Once so many people enter the mountains, what to eat and what to wear, if you want me to say, it is better not to do one and two endlessly, simply the opposite! Zhang Ping put on a half-joking posture and leaned close to Guo Ting's ear.

"Anti! What do you say, General Lu treats us with kindness, what face do you and I have to see him if you are rebellious? Guo Ting exclaimed in surprise.

"Big brother, General Lu is dead, this person is dead like a lamp going out, at the beginning, you and I also discussed, if Mrs. treats us deeply, it is nothing to give up a life, but now, I can hear that Mrs. is packing up things——!" Zhang Ping said hesitantly.

Lu Pheasant wants to run!

This was Guo Ting's first reaction.

What kind of person Lu Pheasant is, Guo Ting has learned it, since she can abandon the Ying family, the object of cooperation, she can naturally ignore the life and death of Guo Ting and others.

"Brother Zhang, is your news exact?" Guo Ting asked in surprise.

Zhang Ping nodded, and said with a tangled expression: "I have someone next to Lu Shizhi's thief, it won't be wrong, if Madame still reads us, she would have sent someone to inform her, but until now, we haven't gotten any news?" ”

"Then you send someone to keep an eye on it, and it's best to catch a few people over there! Also, Xue Ou, you also went to keep an eye on it, this kid has been getting closer to Lu Shizhi recently. Guo Ting commanded viciously.

The Rogue Army is in turmoil.

If you want to maintain the loyalty of a group, it is obviously not enough to rely on feelings alone, and you cannot form a long-term centripetal force by interests alone, and only the two complement each other in order to maintain long-term cohesion. In the face of the choice between life and death, the true nature of man will be revealed. Loyalty on the surface, statements made by mouth, in fact, cannot hide the truest thoughts in the heart.

The suspicion and distrust between Lu Pheasant, Lu Shizhi, Guo Ting, and Zhang Ping are like a seed that has just sprouted, breaking the ground little by little.

What awaits this branch of the gang can only be the result of falling apart and escaping separately.

——。

Wuguan.

The posture of the Qin army guarding the pass was neat, and there was no joy in repelling the Liukou troops, and it was also said that for these elite soldiers who had been selected by thousands of people, a mere team of Liukou could not be regarded as an opponent no matter how they looked at it. As for the names of Guo Ting, Zhang Ping, and Xue Ou, they are not much different from dogs and cats.

In a tall dwelling in the pass.

Li Yuan was examining the urgent letters sent back from Nanjun by the interspers, and the emergency situation faced by Nanjun was more concerning Li Yuan's heart than Hanzhong, which had already brought the situation under control. Feng Xuan faced the joint attack of Eastern Chu, the robbers and Shanyue, whether he could hold on and whether he could protect the territory of the Qin State in the middle and lower reaches of the Great River, Li Yuan had some doubts.

After all, Qin's military deployment in the Nanjun area was too weak. With only five or six thousand new soldiers, the odds of winning are too small to compete with tens of thousands of opponents with rich experience in water warfare.

"Marquis Wu, after the loss of Shaxian, General Feng has ordered the reduction of troops to the area of Yingdu, and in addition, the naval army of Nanjun has also retreated to Wugong Mountain, which is only a day and a night away from Wuguan." Yan Le stood aside and said with a solemn expression.

Domino effect.

The continuation of the Hanzhong riots began to show the consequences, and the adjustment of Zhang Ping's army gave Dongchu the opportunity to take advantage of the gap. Now, the two sides are competing against time.

In the end, Feng Xuanshou arrived when reinforcements arrived.

It was still Eastern Chu and Jiang Kou who took the lead and occupied the capital of Ying, and drove the Qin State Shili back to the Great River Valley.

"How long will it take for reinforcements from Ba County to arrive?" Li Yuan asked thoughtfully. The Eastern Chu army's westward advance this time was obviously to seize Nanjun, but Yingbu obviously did not have the spirit to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and under the suppression of Zhong Liwu and Xiang Zhuang, he did not dare to leave Jiangdong half a step without permission.

Zhou Cheng, the main general of the Eastern Chu Army's Western Expedition, is just a partial general under Yingbu, judging from his previous achievements, he does not have much dazzling talent, and the reason why Yingbu uses him is because Zhou Cheng is an old brother who followed Yingbu early on.

"Luo Xian reported that they have already arrived in Qu Fu's hometown, and it is estimated that it will take three days to reach Yingdu." Yan Le thought for a moment and replied.

"Give Luo Xian an order, you must arrive in Yingcheng within two days, otherwise, tell him that you don't have to think about it, and in addition, send a letter to Chen Xian, so that he can launch an attack as soon as possible after going south, focusing on rescue, and don't beg for encirclement and annihilation." Li Yuan said again.

"My subordinates will go and draw up orders." Yan Le did as he said.

Intelligence work is his main task.

Like the movements and directions of the various units of the Qin army, Yan Le is indeed the clearest, and now, he stays by Li Yuan's side, and can ensure the rapid transmission of news from the various departments of the Qin army as quickly as possible.

Li Yuan is paying attention to the situation in Nanjun, not only him, as the rebellion in Hanzhong gradually subsides, in the spring of the seventh year of the new calendar of the Great Qin, everyone's eyes are talking about the battle for Nanjun.

This was the first official counteroffensive against Qin after a long period of dormancy, and it was also a harbinger of the tension in the Kwantung region after the relations between Qin and Western Chu gradually eased up. (To be continued......)
