Chapter 33 Chronicles of the Mountains
Yingbu grabbed a large piece of roast meat from the plate and bit it down hard. With a mouth full of oil, it seems that the depression in my heart has also decreased a lot.
Yingbu is thirty-six years old this Chinese New Year's Eve, and has been dominating the Dajiang area for six years, and the Qin army has come to suppress it many times, but he has been defeated. Over time, the government also turned a blind eye to him and acquiesced in his existence. Besides, Yingbu only gathered people to do something, and did not erect the banner of rebellion, the first emperor passed through the river several times in the east, and he was very smart to choose to silence and hide, never to provoke the first emperor's edge.
Since it is a giant, of course he wants to rob money.
Uncle Ying is entrenched by the river, and the geese have plucked their feathers. The government's, the wealthy families, and some past merchants...... There is nothing he does not rob, and there is nothing he does not dare to rob. But he is very smart, he only robs money and tries not to kill people. If you lose your possessions, you may only resent them for a while, and if you lose your life, you may make your relatives and friends resent them for the rest of your life.
Sometimes Yingbu is quite smug, he was born as a common man, and he was a prisoner in Lishan, but he was able to gather more than 3,000 outlaws to entrench in the river. Even if the dignified county keeper wanted to go to Xianyang to pay taxes, he had to politely send a messenger to give him a heavy gift, so that he could make it convenient.
With such a situation, what more can the husband ask for.
But now he was not happy, and quite unhappy.
The sentry who was lying on the ground and was making a report secretly raised his head and glanced at Yingbu, a little frightened in his heart.
The boss is angry, and the consequences are serious. He still understands this truth.
Yingbu took another hard bite, as if the barbecue in his hand was the Xiang Yu who made him upset. As he chewed, the scar on the right side of his face shook like an ugly wriggling centipede.
This imprint was left by Yingbu when he was a prisoner in Lishan, and instead of taking it as evil, he flaunted it everywhere, saying that when he was a child, he received a gift from a priest that he should be crowned king after being tortured.
Yingbu spat heavily and said to the pawn in a slurred voice; "Say, why don't you continue."
The kneeling pawn trembled and continued; "Xiang Yu asked a group of subordinates to insult the big boss outside the door, and the scolding was very ugly."
"What are they scolding?"
The way of the pawn stumbling; "The little ones don't dare to say it."
"Say."
"They said that the big boss is a shrunken turtle, unplanted goods, and gave a set of women's clothes to be placed at the gate of the village."
Yingbu was furious, pulled out his saber and slashed off the collapse in front of him, his eyes were about to split, "Good you Xiang Yu, insult me too much." ”
Ben He, who was sitting on the side of the collapse, hurriedly stood up and comforted him; "Boss, this is obviously Xiang Yu's agitation method, and he wants to provoke the boss to go out to fight."
Yingbu hated it; "I don't know, it's just that this feather is too hateful, if it weren't for the fact that those soft eggs under our command are too useless, I would have killed Xiang Yu to the death, why should I suffer this humiliation here."
Ben Hegu rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to wave the pawn away, and whispered in Yingbu's ear; "Boss, I think we should pay more attention to Liu Hu and Yan Xiu now."
Yingbu frowned and said; "Are they restless again?"
Ben He nodded, "I went to their tent to mobilize people to defend in shifts these days, and they all scolded and looked dissatisfied. ”
Yingbu was depressed again. Put on his armor, take his saber, and say to Ben He, "Let's go, accompany me to the castle tower to have a look." ”
Hundreds of meters outside the gate of the wall, there were still dozens of Xiang Yu's subordinates scolding there. Although it was only April, the weather was already a little hot, especially in the afternoon, when the sun was shining, these dozens of soldiers unbuttoned their clothes, and some even sat on the ground, pointing at the castle tower and insulting them.
From afar, they saw Yingbu walking up to the castle tower, and although they didn't know who he was, they saw that he was dressed as a thief, so they booed in unison.
One of the leaders behind Yingbu couldn't help but be furious and shouted angrily; "Boss, let me take my brothers out to fight for a while, so as to extinguish their arrogance."
Yingbu clenched his fists, and the green tendons burst out, but after a long time, he calmed down and said slowly; "No need."
"Look at the woods behind those people, Xiang Yu must have ambushed people there, we are foot soldiers, but they are knights, if you venture out of the city, you will only bury the lives of your brothers in vain."
The leader gritted his teeth and said hatefully; "Are we always being turtles with shrunken heads, so how can we hold our heads up in front of our brothers in other cottages in the future."
Yingbu didn't speak, just squinted his eyes and looked carefully at Xiang Yu's camp, his round eyes widened, and he laughed a few times when he looked up to the sky.
"Boss, what are you laughing at?" Ben Hyuk was puzzled.
"I laughed at Xiang Yu, he was really a reckless man with brute force."
"Look." Yingbu pointed to Xiang Yu's camp in the distance. "They're already tearing down the guardrails, and they're tearing down the horses. They came in light cavalry, and they didn't expect to bring much rations, but I guess Xiang Yu was running out of food in the army, so he had the idea of retreating. ”
"Since it is a futile, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be damaged, and coupled with the eagerness to return home, it will inevitably be messy. If you look at it again, they have humiliated us for many days in the past few days, and they have long since taken us out of sight, and the camp has not even had basic defenses, and they have removed the guardrails themselves, isn't this a godsend? ”
Speaking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in Yingbu's eyes, "Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, you also despise me Yingbu too much, I will make you pay for your arrogance." ”
"The order goes down, so that the brothers should rest immediately after supper, and not make any noise. When you are ugly, you will make rice, and when you are young, you will run with me to Xiang Yu. ”
The wind was high and the moon was dark, and only unknown insects were chirping hard in the jungle, but suddenly they stopped sounding. There was a sound of Suosuo, and I saw a group of black-clothed men, with short knives in their mouths, walking cautiously among the grass.
Yingbu looked up at the sky, and saw that the moon, which was still very bright just now, had burrowed into the dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark for a while, and he secretly said in his heart: God help me.
This time, he made a bloody investment, transferred all his siblings and henchmen who had been born and died with him for several years, and then recruited hundreds of strong people from the village, and gathered a thousand people. He also asked Liu Hu and other leaders to gather more than 2,000 old and weak in the village, and just wait for this side to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill.
Seeing that there was a faint figure on the watchtower in Xiang Yu's camp, he summoned a subordinate who was skilled in archery. The subordinate squinted his eyes and relied on his extraordinary vision to aim for a long time, and as soon as he let go of the arrow, he saw the figure on the tower falling.
The thieves shouted softly, and Yingbu no longer hesitated, drew his sword, and shouted in a low voice; "Kill, leave no one."
A large group of thieves rushed into the tents with swords, divided into dozens of groups, and swooped down on each tent.
Yingbu followed the team and went in, and when he saw the dark tent, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. It suddenly occurred to me that the tent could be so quiet, even if it was completely defenseless, there should be the snoring and dreaming of the soldiers sleeping.
This is already a thief who has opened the tent curtain, but there is a burst of exclamation; "Boss, it's empty."
Yingbu suddenly came to his senses and shouted urgently; "Hurry back."
But before he had time, he saw dozens of bonfires suddenly lit up outside the camp tent, illuminating the camp tent as if it were day, and heard the sound of bowstrings, and the screams of the group of thieves continued to sound.
"Kill." Long Ji and Zhong Liwei took the lead and led the men and horses to kill them. Seeing the tragic death of his old subordinates who had followed him for many years, Yingbu was about to crack, roared, and waved a big knife to meet and take the dragon.
The two of them have fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and there is still no winner or loser. Yingbu blocked Long Ji's shot, only to see that there were fewer and fewer men around him, and he heard a commotion at the gate of the village from a distance, so he was frightened, thinking that the camp was also lost.
In a panic, he shook a shot and avoided Long Ji. Yingbu turned his horse's head and rushed outward, wanting to escape into the mountains and forests, and then try to make a comeback in the mountains.
but heard a loud shout in the distance; "Where to run."
Yingbu turned around and saw a black horse rushing towards him like lightning, and only when he got closer did he recognize that it was Xiang Yu, he was immediately frightened and hurriedly urged the horse to hurry.
The mount under Yingbu's crotch was Wu Qi's opponent, and it didn't take long for Xiang Yu to catch up. Yingbu gritted his teeth and returned to the horse to fight. Seeing Xiang Yu's halberd stabbing coming, Yingbu hurriedly swung his knife away, and then narrowly avoided Xiang Yu's blow.
Yingbu only felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the big knife he was holding in his right hand was almost out of his hand, and he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this Xiang Yu to be so powerful.
After a few more rounds of fighting, Yingbu's martial arts were not as good as Xiang Yu's, and he had lost his bent desire to escape, so he was not Xiang Yu's opponent. In less than ten rounds, he was knocked off the horse by Xiang Yu's halberd, Yingbu fell to the ground, and when he saw Xiang Yu's halberd stabbed, he was terrified, and he could only think: My life is over.
saw that Xiang Yu's halberd only stopped on his chest for a while, and did not stab it. Xiang Yu looked at Yingbu, who had been completely defeated on the ground, and shouted; "Yingbu, would you like to surrender to me?"
Yingbu dared to have other ideas, got up and bowed to the end, and shouted; "Yingbu is willing to surrender."
Since Yingbu has surrendered, it will be easy to take Qingfeng Village. The thieves who refused to stay in the village saw that the boss had surrendered, and where they still had the intention of resisting, they scattered in a hurry, surrendered to those who surrendered, and those who fled from the back mountain.
With Zhong Liwei, Long and Yu Ziqi here, the reception work will be in an orderly manner with the cooperation of Yingbu, and Xiang Yu will have nothing to do. Han Xin also experienced a night of fighting, this was the first time he experienced a real confrontation between the two armies, and his heart was still excited, although he was a little tired, but he did not feel sleepy at all.
Xiang Yu looked at the sky, the sky was already faintly red, it was almost sunrise, and he turned his head and smiled at Han Xin; "Second brother, come with me."
The two dismounted, and only walked on foot on the cliff. Xiang Yu looked back at Han Xin and said with a smile; "This time, thanks to your idea, Second Brother, you were able to subdue Yingbu so easily."
Han Xin smiled, and he didn't make a modest smile, just smiled; "I still have to rely on the strong soldiers and fierce generals under the eldest brother, otherwise how could I capture Yingbu so easily, that old boy's martial arts are not bad."
Xiang Yu nodded, "That Yingbu is indeed a talent, I hope it can be used by me." After pondering for a while, he said, "Second brother, I still want to talk to you about some things for my brother." ”
"Big brother, but it's okay to say."
"I know that you are good at using strange soldiers, and you are thoughtful and decisive, and you are a rare general. But in the past few days with you, I feel that you like to take the sword very much, starting with the trick of trickery. ”
Xiang Yu patted Han Xin on the shoulder, "Brother Wei knows that your art of war is far better than mine, but if you rely too much on the trickery of soldiers, you will inevitably fall to the bottom." If the power is weak and at a disadvantage, it is understandable to use tricks to regain the disadvantage. But don't develop a dependency and always think about shortcuts. ”
Han Xin saw that his words were conclusive, and his words were very sincere, and he was slightly moved, so he gave up; "I understand what the eldest brother means, I know that the eldest brother likes yang schemes, and likes to use a righteous division to defeat the enemy head-on, and I am far inferior to the eldest brother in this regard."
saw Xiang Yu shake his head. "There is no difference between conspiracy and conspiracy, and my brother is just afraid that you will succeed in the first battle, so he has developed an arrogant mentality, and he will think of finding opportunities in everything in the future."
"You see that all famous generals, such as Bai Qi, such as Lian Po, Zhao Mu, Wang Jian and others, first use strategy to gain an advantage, and then defeat the opponent head-on, Guiguzi, who likes treachery all his life, but he is depressed and has achieved nothing in his life."
Han Xin comprehended Xiang Yu's kindness, and this time he was convinced; "Brother Xie mentions, little brother understands."
Seeing Han Xin so enlightened, Xiang Yu smiled and patted Han Xin's shoulder.
At this time, the sun has gradually jumped out of the clouds, the place where the heaven and the earth meet is a red glow, the red sunrise, lined with the clouds that roll slowly in Jinshu, looks magnificent and magnificent.
I saw Xiang Yu pointing to the rising sun and sighed with emotion; "Second brother, you see that this great country has fallen into the hands of the Qin people, it's a pity."
As soon as the words fell, Xiang Yu turned around again and looked at Han Xindao with a smile; "It's better to get it for my brother, what does the second brother think?"
Han Xin was shocked, he originally thought that Xiang Yu just wanted to restore the Chu State and be a father of the restoration of the country, but he didn't expect that he actually had the ambition to win the world. Knowing that Xiang Yu was testing his mind, he was surprised and admired.
Seeing that Xiang Yu was still looking at him with a smile, waiting for an answer. My heart was suddenly full of pride, and I thought in my heart; This is the ambition that a manly man should have.
He fell to the ground and said loudly; "I am willing to help my eldest brother."
PS: I want to write about Han Xin's growth history, I don't want to open the golden finger as soon as it comes out and exude the spirit of a king everywhere, sorry, Jiang Nan writes a more rigorous historical light travel novel. I think what can make a teenager grow and transform quickly is nothing more than the power of love. That's why the heroine Yu Ji is set up, love can make Han Xin work hard, be enlightened, and fight for his life, instead of continuing to mix in the late Qin Dynasty. The climax is coming, so stay tuned.
