After abandoning Lengzhou and leaving, Chuyang was familiar with the main city of Changyang, which was adjacent to Danzhou, and when he was in the palace of Changyang City today, he did not dare to waste any time, and only used thousands of light cavalry to adopt guerrilla tactics for three days and five days, and Bozhou continued to attack and harass Danzhou.

Wang Qi, who originally planned to directly send troops to capture Changyang, was extremely resentful of this, but because of Chuyang's attack, he couldn't pull out at all, and wanted to conquer Bozhou in one fell swoop, but once this side of Pizhou was empty, there would be soldiers and horses coming from Zhezhou in the west.

In the end, Wang Qi was angry and contacted Bai Zhi to go south together, leaving 200,000 people to guard Bozhou, and going to Zhezhou all the way.

Although Zhezhou's troops were insufficient, fortunately they had a defensive advantage, and Wang Qi's heavy troops were not familiar with the landform of Zhezhou, so the troops on both sides did not capture any city in Zhezhou until the winter, and of course, the people and horses of Zhezhou did not get the advantage of Qin.

This year's winter was extremely cold, and it was also through the severe cold that froze into the bone marrow that the Qin army was willing to stop repairing.

The coldest time is only two months, the so-called time does not wait, when the Qin army is happy to celebrate the New Year, the subjects of the Han State do not dare to have the slightest slack, Chuyang and Qi Chen reported to the imperial court, asking to move out of the treasury gold and silver to recruit people, in order to expand the strength, so as to wait for the next spring to fight to the death.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, seeing the soldiers in the barracks dragging their tired bodies and hearing the few firecrackers in the city, it was a happy moment for families to gather together, but because of the war, the people were not able to survive. In the snow of Chuyang Station, he remembered the moon: "I still remember that before I set off at home in the summer of the year before last, I swore to Lin Lin that I would definitely go back and forth in two years, but now that the two-year deadline is approaching, I ...... Alas, I don't know what has become of the family. ”

Looking down at the empty wine cup in his hand, he smiled bitterly and sighed again and again: "I haven't been home for more than half a year, I don't know what happened to Yan Nuo and them." When the rebellion was suppressed in Lingzhou, it was only a few hundred miles away from Qiaozhou......"

Behind him stood Yueshan, Zhao Fan, Zhou Bei, and Zidan, after refilling the light for Chuyang, the five of them raised a glass together but didn't know what to say.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Chuyang rushed back to the imperial court to report on the troops, and the two-month recuperation has recruited a lot of people, although it is not as strong as before, but it is still nearly a million troops.

On the same day, Emperor Liu Huai of the Han Dynasty awarded the Chuyang Tiger Talisman in the court, and ordered him to be the general of the Han State, telling him to unify the whole country to resist Qin.

Chuyang led the order to start arranging, all the soldiers and horses were arranged in three ways, the left general Gu Chao and the right general Zhang Ping, with 300,000 horses and infantry to guard Zhezhou, the great Sima Qichen and the later general by Zhong led 300,000 troops to guard Changyang City to defend the palace, and he took four brothers to lead 300,000 soldiers and horses to Tunbozhou.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the first month, and as the snow melted began, the impatient Qin army gradually advanced downward. Chuyang immediately ordered Gu Chao to lead troops to raid Qizhou to contain the Qin troops, personally commanded 300,000 troops to attack all parts of Lengzhou, and clearly ordered Qi Chen to guard the imperial city in Changyang and not to lead troops out of the city an inch.

In the early stage, Gu Chao's soldiers were many generals, and they defeated Qin's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Qizhou.

But because of the victory in the small battle and arrogant soldiers, Gu Chao ignored the ban of Chuyang, and directly captured the three cities and one county of Qizhou after the war, and reported to the imperial court to announce to the world, to show that the Qin soldiers were very large and not to be afraid.

Although his intentions were good, he violated the military order, and during this period, the deputy general Zhang Ping also dissuaded Gu Chaodao: "The general must not act according to the general's plan." ”

On the contrary, Gu Chao replied: "The general once said, 'The general is outside, and the military life is not affected', and now the general is only following suit." ”

One sentence completely choked Zhang Ping, and Gu Chao was the main general, Zhang Ping couldn't say anything, so he could only listen to Gu Chao's dispatch to occupy Qizhou together, but he kept an eye on it, and hurriedly sent a letter to the early sun of Bozhou.

Sure enough, the good times did not last long, and the consequences of not listening to Chuyang's strategy came soon, because of the relationship of covering too much land, resulting in the already small number of troops being scattered around, Wang Qi took this opportunity to attack Zhezhou, which had almost no soldiers and no generals, and cut off Gu Chao's back road, and then did not stop and then ordered Pizhou and the remaining soldiers and horses in Qizhou to attack Gu Chao together.

Under the attack of three ways, the three cities and one county occupied by Gu Chao fell into the hands of Qin again in three days, and Gu Chao escaped from death by killing the enemy bravely with soldiers, and wanted to escape back to Zhezhou, only to find that Zhezhou had already been captured by Qin, and he had no way to retreat, so he could only take a few soldiers and horses back to Changyang City.

At this time, Chuyang commanded a total of 300,000 heavy troops, more than three times that of last year's evacuation from Lengzhou, and there was no need to worry about the lack of troops, so he took back the city of Lengzhou from the day the troops were dispatched.

Taking advantage of the high spirits of the sergeant, when he was waiting to continue to go deeper without stopping, he heard the horn of the Qin army in the rear, Chu Yang's heart couldn't help but tremble, and after thinking about it again and again, he could only reluctantly abandon the captured city again, and led the troops to go back and forth to the halfway, and sure enough, he saw that the Qin State sent troops from Danzhou to attack Bozhou.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou Bei picked up a flag of the Qin army with a king on it.

After handing over the flag to Chu Yang, Chu Yang was furious and threw the flag to the ground angrily, rushed down to the station and asked: "My name is Gu Chao to lead Wang Qi's troops, why can Wang Qi still send troops from Danzhou here!"

The commander of the tent looked left and right, and stood up to tell Gu Chao about not listening to Chuyang's dispatch and occupying the city of Qizhou without authorization, and at the same time took out the letter sent by Zhang Ping.

Chu Yang read the letter and gritted his teeth and asked, "Since you know, why don't you come to report me!"

The commander didn't say a reason for a long time, Zhao Fan scolded angrily and stepped forward to pick it up, and said angrily: "Do you know how many soldiers have been killed by hiding military intelligence letters and not reporting them?!"

"The general spared his life, it was Gu Chao who did not listen to the general's prohibition, but he should not blame his subordinates! Moreover, when the letter came, the general had already commanded his troops! I begged the general to spare his life!" The commander was terrified and knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"If the commander is outside, can't he send each other quickly?!" Zhao Fan scolded angrily.

Chu Yang clenched his fists and scolded angrily: "In the cold winter of Layue, I tried my best to recruit nearly a million soldiers, but because you didn't say a word, they were killed and injured on the battlefield, and they almost lost Bozhou, so how can I spare you!"

The commander burst into tears, and his head hit the ground like pounding garlic.

"Push me out and cut it!"

That night, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh, at the age of twenty-two, he was awarded the position of a general, thinking that everyone in the world was envious, but they didn't know that they were forced out of the general, and they were burdened with the burden of defending the country and protecting the society.

The day has gradually warmed up, and the generals in the tent are still sitting around the charcoal stove, looking at the orange flames dancing in the furnace, but there is no expression in their eyes.

Chu Yang stood up and walked to the door of the camp, not far away the light of the torch reflected on the branches, looking at the green shoots that had emerged on the branches, thinking that Gu Chao lost Zhezhou and lost 300,000 heavy soldiers, and today he lost nearly 100,000 troops because the commander did not report it.

Looking up at the moon for a long time, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas...... Employing people is not virtuous, and the general trend is going to ......"
