July Flowing Fire.

The ghost fire on the wilderness at night is lit, green, some are the eyes of wild dogs and jackals, some are the light of small insects gathered, the wailing of wild dogs comes from time to time, these guys who like to gnaw on corpses are finally no longer lucky, and the Chu army scouts, who have nowhere to vent their anger, raised their knives and guns, and chased down the dogs who were clamping their tails and fleeing.

Inside the marching clay pot, steaming, a hearty dog meat feast is the most nourishing food for soldiers sleeping in the wilderness.

The big tent of the Chinese army of the Chu army was lit up all night, Fan Zeng did not come out again since he entered Xiang Yu's military tent, and even the food was sent in by the close attendant, and a few pieces of burnt yellow wild dog meat that were cooked were placed on the copper utensils upright, exuding an attractive fragrance.

"Father, this dog meat is good, let's take a bite?" Xiang Yu, who was in a better mood, shook his head at Fan Zeng, who was in the upper position, and said.

Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers.

Today's small setback by Li Yuan did make Xiang Yu, who was accustomed to victory, very faceless, but this blow could not shake Xiang Yu's determination to attack the Tiger Prison.

Winning the Tiger Prison Pass and deterring those princes who are about to move, this is Xiang Yu's ultimate goal, and after Tian Rong's chicken has no effect, Xiang Yu pointed the finger at Li Yuanshili, who is developing rapidly.

"Overlord, old and rotten vegetarian, don't eat meat-!" Fan Zeng looked at the fatty dog meat in the vessel, and felt sick in his heart, what does this wild dog eat, it is not to eat the corpses of those who died.

People fight with people, then dogs gnaw on human corpses, people eat dogs, and the cycle repeats.

Very strange and cruel troubled times.

"Overlord, actually. To capture the Tiger Prison. In addition to the onslaught. There's another way. Henan land after many wars, the people fled into the mountains to hide, if you can find one or two to know the path of the woodcutter, our Great Chu army can reproduce the victory of the day to break through the Hangu Pass. ”

At the moment when Xiang Yu was happy. The dedicated Fan Zeng frowned, thought about it and thought about it, and finally had an idea, in fact, he said it. Nor was it his idea. At the beginning, when marching into Guanzhong, the Chu army broke through the Hangu Pass, and it was Fan Zeng's method that Fan Zeng said, and this time it was just a rehash.

"The words of the Father are very unwilling. Early tomorrow morning, I will send my generals into the mountains to find the way! Xiang Yu said.

"Overlord, this matter is very important, and it is necessary to prevent news leakage and let the Qin people be wary. So, in terms of candidates. It is necessary to be bold and competent, and loyal and reliable generals to act. Fan Zeng solemnly instructed.

"The matter of the candidate, I have my own opinion. Please rest assured, it is getting late, it is better to rest early. Xiang Yu nodded and replied with a little unpleasantness.

When people are old, they will always talk more unconsciously, and Fan Zeng is the same. Originally, he still had to say a few more words to let Xiang Yu use his brain more, but in the face of Xiang Yu's refusal, he could only give up.

――。

Day 2.

The Chu army camp was silent, the war drums seemed to be dormant, and they couldn't make a sound, and even the Chu pawn, who was arrogant and loud yesterday, didn't know where to hide today.

Xiang Yu didn't go to war, I don't know if he was severely humiliated yesterday and didn't slow down, or if he was thinking of other ways, he could win a day's rest and recuperation, which was precious to the Qin army with insufficient troops, and as for going out of the customs again to compete with the Chu army, unless someone with a sick brain would do so.

The Chu army ceased to fight.

Getting the news that the Chu army had no abnormal behavior, Li Yuan's heart was filled with a faint sense of frustration, but all the celebrities in history, who is not a human spirit, Xiang Yu can become the leader of the princes, in addition to his bravery, his mind should not be too bad, besides, by his side, there is also an old and decrepit Fan Zeng to assist.

Next, what will Chu Jun do?

This is what Li Yuan is most concerned about at the moment.

The enemy attacks and defends.

This kind of passive play, in fact, is extremely energy-consuming, in the former Qin and Zhao Changping battle, Zhao veteran Lian Po to the same to respond to all changes, stubbornly unable to defend, behind the seemingly simple, in fact, contains the old general for many years of battlefield accumulated wisdom, otherwise, after the Zhao army changed the main general, even if Zhao Kuo is a decision, will not be completely annihilated by the Qin army in a short period of time.

Council Chamber.

A group of generals and Lang Zhong of the Qin army gathered in front of the sand table, they are now more and more accustomed to standing in front of a miniature version of the topographic map of mountains and rivers, you say a word and I argue, competing to put forward their own ideas, no matter who it is, even if it is the lowest-level Lang Zhong, they also have the right to express their opinions.

In the battlefield analysis again and again, the understanding ability of the young generals of the Qin army is improving step by step, and they may only be able to take on the position of captain and marquis now, and can only become the executor of a certain task, and in the future, after their ability is improved, the addition of this group of generals and colonels will greatly alleviate the lack of middle-level officers in the Qin army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Chu army was frustrated in the first battle, and today it is very likely that it will find another trail to sneak attack our pass, so, for all plans, our army should take a team as a group and patrol and defend along the entire pass, otherwise it will not be able to resist the enemy." Jiang Yu's voice is loud, and this kind of tactical analysis course is his strong point.

"But if the troops are scattered and deployed, in case the Chu army is forced to attack the pass, our army is insufficient, I am afraid that it will not be able to respond, besides, the deployment of defense everywhere is a passive defense after all, and it can only be beaten passively, if there is no other countermeasure against the Chu army, this pass will not be easy to defend." The person who put forward the supplementary opinion was the newly promoted Langzhong Zhangping under Li Yuan.

Zhang Ping is Zhang Han's younger brother, he is in the prime of life, after Zhang Han retired, he officially voted for Li Yuan, because of the lack of qualifications, there is almost no credit, Zhang Ping can only be a casual Langzhong now, and then reward after making meritorious achievements. Seeing that a group of Qin generals younger than him were able to lead the army to fight, Zhang Ping's heart was itching, but he couldn't cross the military discipline of the Qin army.

"If the Chu army is attacking from the path, the number of troops cannot be too much, and in the same way, the soldiers of our army patrol do not need so many, as long as they can issue an early warning when the enemy situation is discovered, as for the way of early warning, it can be called by beacon fire." Li Yuan nodded approvingly at Jiang Yu and Zhang Ping, their opinions were very helpful in broadening their minds.

"Li Hou, if the Chu army fails to sneak attack, it will definitely be annoyed and angry, and then it will be necessary to attack the pass, and the arrows and arrows of Rolling Wood Mountain will be needed, and our army should be more prepared." Wang Shangjian was preempted by Jiang and Zhang, and after thinking about it, he also admonished.

Fame and merit are achieved by fighting one battle at a time.

Wang Shang, who has the merits of killing Fan Hao and breaking the enemy army, is no longer an inactive person like the original history, and his name is being mentioned more and more.

Just as Liu Bang was able to take a group of old brothers from Peixian County to make the king a marquis, Li Yuan's side, Wang Shang, Jiang Yu, Cao Xin and others were also constantly improving themselves in the war.

Someday, their names will go down in history.

"Well, the matter of defense is entrusted to the three generals. Tiger Prison Pass is the gateway of Henan, our army sticks to here, is to show the princes of the world our determination to restore the country, is to strengthen the spirit of our Great Qin soldiers, I hope you will work together to repel the enemy. Li Yuan looked at the generals who were speaking enthusiastically with satisfaction, and encouraged loudly.

"Captain Meng, your border cavalry is a cavalry unit, and it has little effect in mountain combat, I intend to transfer your troops as the general reserve force, once there is a tight war on any side, the border army needs to be rescued in time."

"No. Please rest assured that Li Hou will live up to his trust. Meng Hu nodded in agreement. The current Menghu has a good impression of Li Yuan's team almost the same as that of the border army, and if it weren't for the family, he would have wanted to switch to Li Yuan's jurisdiction immediately.

The generals dispersed one by one, and everyone understood that this was a crucial battle related to whether the Qin State could be revived, and every Qin person must be energetic and do their best to liliang in order to laugh in the competition of liliang.

After Li Yuan deployed all this, what he felt in his heart was a heavy responsibility, everything that could be done here in the Tiger Prison Pass had been arranged, and the next changes in the battle situation depended on whether Han Xin's partial division in Hebei and Zhaoping, who lobbied Yingbu, could complete the task, as long as one of the two made a breakthrough, the current crisis of the Qin army could be broken.

After all, the rear of the Chu army that is attacking with all its strength is unstable, and Xiang Yu's tactics of attacking with all his strength need to take great risks, once Pengcheng is in trouble, the entire Chu army will be in turmoil, and at that time, even if Xiang Yu personally has the will to fight, he will not be able to control a disheartened army.

――。

It is bordered by Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered.

Since ancient times, the Tiger Prison Pass, where soldiers must fight, does not refer to a pass, but the collective name of the mountains and mountains, however, due to the danger of the mountain road, there is only one pass that can really pass through the carriage and horses, and the other trails are mostly trampled out by the hunters and mountain people, as for where each trail can lead, this is rarely known.

Ji Xin was confused.

Advocating the confrontation between the two armies, he fought with a knife and a gun, and was selected by Xiang Yu to become the leading general of the Chu army's scout troops.

"This must be Fan Zeng's old idea. If this mountain road is easy to walk, why don't he Fan Zeng come and take it personally. Ji Xin complained in his heart while following the mountain people who led the way.

Speaking of strategy, not no one in the Chu army has talent, like Han Xin in the past, as well as people like Lu Chen and Shusun Tong, they are all handsome for a while, but unfortunately, under the suppression of Fan Zeng, these people are either not reused, or they have switched to other places, even his eldest brother Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu, the general of the Chu army, are also squeezed out by Fan Zeng.

It is true that Fan Zeng is Xiang Yu's father, but he is not the father of the soldiers of the Chu army.
