Chapter 446: Returning the Favor

"Sir, is this a settlement?"

The Chu army easily broke through most of the ambushes on all sides in just half a day, which made Liu Bang's face suddenly look ugly.

According to this trend, it was only a matter of time before the Chu army broke through the ambush on all sides and returned to Jiangdong.

So in the end, Liu Bang turned to Chen Ping beside him and asked.

"It's... This ......"

Chen Ping, who was full of confidence just now, couldn't help but be stunned at this time.

He knew the power of Han Xin's ambush on all sides, and when he heard that Han Xin had come up with such a strategy, he couldn't help but be shocked.

thought that Han Xin set up such an ambush, and no one in the world could break it, so naturally he also boasted with Liu Bang to go to Haikou, but he didn't expect Xiang Yu to slap him so quickly, directly swelling his face, and even subverting his worldview.

Xiang Yu is just a reckless man, if he breaks it with brute force, he will only sigh at most, the courage of the overlord is unparalleled in the world, but he will not be so shocked.

What really stunned Chen Ping was that the Chu army's methods of breaking the ambush on all sides were all to break through the strategy and skill, or as if it was a prophet, which made him think that he had heard it wrong even when he first heard the information.

Because in Chen Ping's subconscious, he thought that this was simply impossible.

If Xiang Yu really had such a good spirit, and at the same time had unparalleled force and peerless strategy, then he wouldn't have to take refuge in Liu Bang at all......

"Did you marvel, sir, and think it was impossible?"

Liu Bang continued to ask, and also said that he also thought it was impossible, but then looked directly at Chen Ping and said, "But there is a situation where this kind of thing may happen, that is, the person who formulated this ambush plan has an affair with Xiang Yu. ”

Chen Ping raised his head suddenly, he knew who Liu Bang was referring to, it was undoubtedly Han Xin, the king of Qi. So he immediately said to Liu Bang that this was impossible, and if that was the case, the King of Qi would not easily return the military power.

Chen Ping and Han Xin did not have a personal relationship, and the reason why he dared to say this at this time was because he did not think that Han Xin would rebel. And the only person who can compete with the overlord is Han Xin.

At this moment, we must not let Liu Bang and Han Xin see a gap, otherwise even if the princes and coalition forces have more soldiers and horses, they will have little chance of winning in the face of Xiang Yu, who has made a comeback after returning to Jiangdong.

Liu Bang obviously understood this truth, so he didn't mention Han Xin, and instead said: "Then there is only one possibility, Xiang Yu has a wise man by his side. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ping shook his head again and said, "Among the Chu army, there is only one who can be called a wise man. There is only one Fan Zeng, and Fan Zeng has been buried in the loess for a long time. ”

Liu Bang was silent, but his eyes gradually became hazy.

When Chen Ping saw this, he realized instantly, and he remembered that there was still a wise man in the Chu army, who could even be called the wise saint of the world, and that person was Zhang Liang, who was captured by Xiang Yu.

At this time, Chen Ping couldn't refute it, because if it wasn't for Han Xin's fornication with Xiang Yu. is only explained by Zhang Liang's rebellion, because if there is anyone else in the world. If you can break this exquisite ambush on all sides, then I am afraid that only Zhang Liang, who has strategized and won thousands of miles, can do it.

At the same time, Chen Ping didn't want to defend Zhang Liang, because if Zhang Liang really rebelled, then the chief strategist of Liu Bang's camp, he would really sit firmly.

……

Jiujiang County, Chu Army.

"Where are we now?"

Qin Xiaobai was leading the Chu army to ambush on all sides. It was another day of rapid marching, and the soldiers were all tired.

Although the soldiers of the Chu army, because Qin Xiaobai led them to win consecutive battles, they were extremely excited, and they had the spare strength to continue the forced march for a day and night.

However, Qin Xiaobai did not let Chu Jun do this. Only an army that has always maintained abundant energy can always maintain peak combat strength and cope with various emergencies.

This is undoubtedly the most important point in this pursuit battle.

So, after Qin Xiaobai saw that the soldiers were tired, he let the Chu army rest in place.

Qin Xiaobai asked Bai Yuanfang beside him about their specific location.

"Now to Jiujiang County, Yinling County, and a short distance to the east is the Wujiang River." Bai Yuanfang immediately replied.

"How many ambushes have broken on all sides."

"Nine paths have been broken, and as for the tenth Jinyi guard, no traces of ambushes have been found on the road from Yinling County to Wujiang so far, so the subordinates suspect that the ambush on ten sides is just an imaginary number, and there is no tenth way."

Qin Xiaobai nodded when he heard this, and then heard that there was a report from a soldier that an old peasant asked to see him, and wanted to offer the shortest way to leave this place to the overlord.

Qin Xiaobai was slightly stunned, and then smiled at Bai Yuanfang: "Who said that there is no tenth ambush, isn't this coming." ”

Legend has it that after Xiang Yu broke through the siege, he got lost in a place, met an old farmer and asked for directions, but after listening to the old farmer's words, he fell into the swamp and was pursued by the Han army.

Qin Xiaobai originally thought that it was just that Xiang Yu was very unpopular, but now that he didn't ask for directions, people took the initiative to post it upside down, so if it looks like this, it is very boring.

So let Jinyiwei arrest and interrogate him first.

As a result, as soon as Jinyiwei interrogated, the old farmer confessed, and he was a secret agent under Han Xin, because the locals here are familiar with the terrain and the age image is more consistent, so he was sent to wait for the Chu army.

Later, Qin Xiaobai also wanted to inquire about the situation of the Han army, the old man was trained as a secret agent, but he couldn't withstand the interrogation of Jinyiwei, so he naturally knew everything and said everything.

After understanding the general situation of the princes' coalition army, Qin Xiaobai nodded, it was similar to what he expected, there was no big change, just to verify.

Now that he understands the situation, then this old man is useless, Bai Yuanfang really wants to order someone to drag it down and dispose of it, but Qin Xiaobai stopped this behavior, and said with a slight smile:

"The so-called exchange of gifts, Han Xin gave us an ambush on all sides, so naturally we have to leave them some small gifts."

Immediately, Qin Xiaobai told the old farmer that he could let him go, and would give him a sum of money that would be enough for him to spend the rest of his life, but he needed to do him a small favor and tell a small lie to his old patron Han Xin......

In history, Han Xin let Xiang Yu wander around the swamp for a long time, and this time he returned the favor with his own way, and asked the princes who were chasing after his ass to go to the swamp to play in the mud.

Just kidding, under the threat to his life, his interests, and the Jinyi guard watching from the side, the old farmer naturally turned back without any suspense.

Qin Xiaobai was pleased to see this, and immediately ordered Shachen to lead a team of Jinyi guards, secretly follow the old farmer, supervise him and let him work hard, and he led the Chu army to continue to advance. (To be continued......)
