In September of the second year of the second year, the banks of the Zhanghe River, which had been silent for decades, were boiling.

The million-strong army of the Qin army and the princes gathered in Julu, and from this point of view, Zhang Han's strategy had been successful. That is to use Julu as bait, lead the anti-Qin forces in the world to come to the rescue, and then join forces with Wang Li to attack the north and south, and complete the battle.

Wang Li and Zhang Han echo each other from afar. Wang Liqin led the Chinese army to surround the Zhao army in Julu City, with 50,000 troops in Sujiao in the south and 40,000 in the north.

Zhang Han set up a formation on the north bank of the Zhanghe River, built a road hundreds of miles long, and the grain wagons and baggage that were continuously exported from Hangu Pass were transported to the northern army by Zhang Han's hand.

The armies of the princes were stationed on the north, east, and west sides of the northern army, and surrounded the northern army, but most of them did not move, just watched the battle of Julu from afar, and the northern army did not come to attack them, and they did not take the initiative to attack. More than 100,000 Chu troops under the command of Song Yi had also arrived on the south bank of the Zhanghe River, but they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and refused to cross the river.

A delicate pattern was formed around Julu City, and Zhang Han in the south did not move, but only guarded Wang Li's right flank according to the agreement and provided him with food and grass. However, the princes and armies watched from the wall, with the idea of preserving their strength.

Han Xin followed the Northern Army for a few days, and when he saw that the strategy formulated by Zhang Han had been realized, there was no reason to stay. On this day, he went to Wang Li's tent to bid farewell to him, and went back to report to Zhang Han.

Wang Li said that he stayed, and when he saw that Han Xin had made up his mind, he didn't say anything more, and said again; "You go back and talk to General Zhang, saying that the net has been cast, and now it's time to close the net. Please be sure to defeat the Chu army in the south, and then go north to join me to fight the traitors. ”

Han Xin nodded and said; "I will tell the general truthfully what the marshal said, and I hope that the marshal can calm down and not be affected by the provocation of the rebels."

Wang Li's face was slightly embarrassed, and he heard the meaning of Han Xin's words.

These days, he tried to launch several powerful attacks on Julu City, originally thinking that the northern army was elite and brave, and the more than 50,000 Zhao troops in Julu City were just remnants of defeated generals, so he expected to be able to conquer them in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, he touched a nose of ash under the city, and several attacks were repelled under the dead defense of the Zhao army. Not only did there be no progress, but nearly 10,000 soldiers were lost. Han Xin saw that the northern army was good at field raids, not this kind of siege, so he reminded Wang Li.

Han Xin saw that Wang Li's face was a little displeased, so he closed his mouth and said no more, and said goodbye. Wang Li also stood up and politely wanted to send him out of the camp, but Han Xin politely refused.

Han Xin turned around and was about to leave the tent door, but he heard a shout in the distance; "Urgent report from the front, get out of the way."

I saw a soldier covered in blood riding a horse and rushing straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, holding a bundle of cloth in his hand, shouting out of the way. When the soldiers on both sides saw that the cloth in his hand was sticking with feathers, they knew that it was the highest-level urgent order of the Northern Army, the 'Hongling Urgent Order', and that the general mobilization of this urgent matter was an urgent military situation that could not be sent from time to time, so they hurriedly moved away to make way for him.

The soldier rode his horse to the front of the king's tent, dismounted and stumbled in, just as he passed Han Xin who went out, and when he looked back, the soldier's blood-stained face suddenly looked stunned, and then turned back again.

Han Xin saw that he felt that something was wrong when he looked at him, so he stopped, and he couldn't remember what was wrong, but he felt a little strange.

Suddenly, I was alert, thinking of how a seriously injured person could have such a look in his eyes, and he turned around sharply when he thought of this. At this time, Wang Li had already stood up with a nervous face and asked; "What's the matter?"

The soldier fell to his knees and bowed his head; "Marshal, General Su Jiao was killed by Xiang Yu of the Chu army, and the army has been in chaos."

Wang Li lost his voice; "What?"

At this time, Han Xin had already shouted; "Be careful!"

At this time, the soldier suddenly raised his head, and the cold light flashed, and the dagger in his hand had already flown towards Wang Li. Wang Li himself is also a person with strong martial arts, and when Han Xin's shout arrived, he was already alert and shook his head to avoid it, and the dagger grazed his face and shot dangerously on the seat behind him, startling him into a cold sweat.

When the killer saw that he had missed, he wanted to fly up to make up for it, but Han Xin's fish intestines had already attacked his back, so he had to draw his sword to separate them. At this time, the king's own soldiers outside the tent had already rushed over with their weapons, and the killer saw that he could no longer succeed, so he flew and crashed directly into the tent.

The tent was made of coarse cloth, and when it was struck in such a way that a large hole was broken, he took the opportunity to get out and leave, and heard several screams outside the tent, and the killer had already seized his horse and fled.

Han Xin didn't have time to greet Wang Li, so he chased after him, jumped on another horse and chased after him.

The other soldiers in the camp saw that the two knights dressed as Qin soldiers rushed out one after another, and they were stunned that they had no time to stop them, and the two horses quickly galloped out one after the other.

The killer didn't seem to be very skilled in riding, but Han Xin was gradually caught up by Han Xin across the road from Han Xin. When he turned around and saw Han Xin gradually approaching, he suddenly jumped high and left the horse, and his body fell backwards like a flying sword and rushed straight to Han Xin on the horse.

Han Xin drew his sword in his hand, and the two of them had already exchanged more than a dozen moves. Han Xin fell off his horse and fell, looked at the man from afar with a sword in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "It's you again, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The killer was stunned for a moment, and then knew that Han Xin recognized him from his body, and suddenly chuckled: "It turns out that you recognize me, it's been a long time." ”

A yellow-faced man suddenly let out a girl's silver bell-like laugh, which was indeed quite creepy. saw that the yellow-faced man suddenly stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, revealing a smiling girl's face, but it was the female killer who had assassinated Xiang Yu.

The girl looked at Han Xin with a smile, looked up and down and said, "It's been a long time, little handsome guy, you are getting more and more handsome, and you look much more manly." ”

Han Xin snorted, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be a handsome guy, look at you like this, you are not as old as me." ”

The girl grinned and said; "I'm older than you, little brother, you can still eat me."

Seeing the smile on her face, Han Xin couldn't help but put on a straight face and said, "Okay, don't gag with me, you still tie up and follow me back to the camp, lest I do it." ”

The girl wrinkled her nose and snorted; "In terms of martial arts, you may be a little higher than me, but if you want to catch me, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."

Han Xin laughed; "You can try."

As soon as the words fell, the girl's smile froze, Han Xin was already alert, and his body flew backwards, avoiding the flying needle in her hand. The girl had already taken advantage of the situation to fly away, far away, but left behind a burst of laughter like silver bells, and the laughter revealed a hint of mockery.

The laughter suddenly stopped, first a few screams, then a scream. The girl fell to the ground, her hand covering the wound on her leg, and Han Xin slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand with a smile on his face. He had just shot three arrows in a row, each of which was aimed at the dead corner of the girl's escape, and although she avoided two arrows, she did not dodge one arrow in her calf. The arrow feathers penetrated and took away a large piece of flesh, and the girl's legs were suddenly bleeding, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she just endured it and didn't make a sound.

Han Xin said with a smug face; "How?"

The girl's brows were tightly knit, her face was pale, she just snorted, and did not reply.

Han Xin saw that her leg was bleeding nonstop, so he emptied a bottle of wound medicine from his chest and threw it far away; "Put it on, it's the best medicine for wounds."

The girl took it, and without thanking herself, she gritted her teeth and bandaged herself.

Han Xin watched coldly from the sidelines, and when he saw that she had already taken care of her wounds, he asked; "Tell me, who are you? Why did Xiang Yu come first and now assassinate Wang Li? ”

The wound had been bandaged, the girl's face softened slightly, and when she heard Han Xin's repeated questions, she snorted; "Why am I telling you this?"

"You don't have to." Han Xin's eyes slowly turned cold, and the bow and arrow in his hand were already in his hand again. Years of life and death experience have made him hard-hearted, and now he only cares about the people he cares about, and what does it matter to him whether the life and death of other people are alive or dead.

"I'll only count three times, and if you don't, I'll guarantee that the next arrow will pierce your head."

The girl was stunned, looking at the bow and arrow in Han Xin's hand in a daze. In her impression, Han Xin three years ago was just a young man who was a little pitiful, and for some reason he became so hard-hearted now.

Han Xin still saw that she was stunned, so the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he said loudly: "Three." ”

"Two."

The girl's face was already hesitant, but she still didn't speak. Han Xin's 'one' had already fallen, and she saw that Han Xin's eyes were cold, and her pupils dilated instantly, and she knew that Han Xin was definitely not joking, and suddenly shouted; ”

But it was too late, and the arrow feathers were already shooting towards her round eyes. Running through the crown of the board that was erected high on her head, the huge momentum knocked her to the ground, her hair was scattered, and she looked at Han Xin with a pale face, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't speak.

Although she has killed countless people since she was a child, it is the first time she is so close to death, no matter how much she is like a rock, but after all, she is only a girl who has just reached twenty.

Han Xin looked at him coldly and said; "Now that you believe it, say it."

The girl nodded a little blankly on her face, still not relieving herself from the moment of life and death just now.

"What's your name?"

"Star Language."

"Why did you kill Wang Li?"

"On my master's orders."

"Who is your master?"

"An Qisheng." Han Xin was taken aback, and suddenly remembered the strange Taoist priest in Lu Pheasant's house, could it be him.

"Who is your master?"

Xingyu said An Qisheng, relieved himself again, and said with a sneer; "My master has great skills, he can know the destiny of heaven, and he can measure the future, if you hurt me and he knows about it, he will definitely not let you go."

"Don't scare me with that stinking man." Han Xin said disdainfully; "I played him three years ago, but that's it. If I run into him today, I won't be invincible. You still think about your own situation, it's best to answer my question honestly, why did your master want you to assassinate Wang Li. ”

The girl hesitated slightly, but she saw Han Xin's hand shaking a bright arrow, so she gritted her teeth and said: "No, my master doesn't want the Qin army to win, so he wants Wang Li to die, so that the Qin army will be self-defeating." ”

"Nonsense." Han Xin sneered, if Wang Li died now, not only would the Qin army not be chaotic, but it would be conducive to Zhang Han seizing the power of commander, and when the time comes, the Qin army will be merged into one, and the combat effectiveness will only be stronger.

"Last question, why did you ask Xiang Yu last time, was it also instructed by your master?"

"It's not." Xingyu shook his head, "I did it on a temporary basis, and my master also scolded me afterwards." ”

Han Xin pondered for a long time, seeing that Xingyu didn't look like a fake, so he nodded and said; "Alright, the question is asked, you can go."

"Are you really letting me go?" Xingyu said with a look of disbelief.

"Of course, I Han Xin He once said but did not believe it."

Xingyu's face moved, he bit his lip and stood up, limping away slowly, as if he thought of something again, and then turned around and said; "You have to be careful, if I fail to assassinate me this time, my master will definitely be angry with you. He's much better than me, and you'll be lucky to be targeted by him. ”

"Thank you." Han Xin said lightly. "I'll be careful, but I'm not afraid."

*****

"An Qisheng!" After listening to Han Xin's report, Zhang Han said in surprise. Seeing Han Xin nodding, he was silent.

"General, do you know him?" Han Xin saw that Zhang Han's face was different, so he asked.

Zhang Han nodded and said; "It's not just acquaintance, this person often accompanies the First Emperor, and is regarded as a national teacher, and no one in Xianyang Palace knows anyone."

Zhang Han seemed to fall into deep memories, and said: "This person has been deeply trusted by His Majesty for more than ten years, and he also bewitched His Majesty when I went south to conquer Baiyue, so people of insight in the court hate him to the core, thinking that he is a demon and a disaster country." Three years ago, he followed His Majesty on his southern tour, and after His Majesty died in the sand dunes, he did not know what to do, and the people in the court were also secretive about him, and few people had ever heard of him. ”

Han Xin was taken aback and said in surprise; "Is he really that good? When I saw him, he really looked full of demons, is it really like what his apprentice said, he can know the destiny of heaven and measure the future? ”

Zhang Han shook his head and said; "I don't know, but he's a really weird guy, and I think if there's a demon in the world, he's going to be. It's better not to provoke people like this. ”

"It's just that why did he kill Wang Li, why did he want my Qin army to fail, and what good did it do him?"

Han Xin and Zhang Han were relatively speechless, and neither could find an answer from each other's faces.

Han Xin was worried, and one thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly thought that if this An Qisheng could really predict the future, how could he not calculate that he would ruin his good deeds. The so-called breakthrough and knowing the future, will it be just that he knows the course of history.

Is it possible that he is also a time-traveler in the afterlife like himself?
