At the same time, five miles south of Yongcheng, the Huainan rebel array.

Straightened up from the seat on the chariot, stepped on the barrier between the chariot and the horse, and looked at Yongcheng, which was close at hand, but the city gate was closed, and Yingbu's face was full of confidence that he was sure of victory.

"Hey!"

"It's a pity that the army attacked overnight, and the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted."

"If not······

Yingbu sighed with a little regret, which immediately provoked the Huainan generals on the side to grit their teeth, and immediately scattered their angry eyes to Yongcheng not far away.

- Almost!

is less than a mile away, and the Huainan soldiers can entangle Liu Ying's army who 'fled in a hurry'!!

And now, looking at the duck that reached its beak, it had fled into the strong Yongcheng fortress, and the Huainan soldiers were only full of anger and resentment in their hearts.

But with these gnashing teeth, still entangled in 'why didn't you catch up?' The Huainan generals were different, and the soldiers beside Yingbu already had a faint look of worry.

"The King."

A light call provoked Yingbu's brows to frown slightly, but he didn't turn his head back, but turned his head a little sideways, and said lukewarmly, "Huh? 'Sighed.

Seeing that the soldier stepped forward worriedly, and bowed his hand to Yingbu slightly, he straightened up, and looked at the Yongcheng five miles away, which was already a city with closed gates and a well-guarded city.

"The prince led the army to chase the crown prince of Han, at this time when the army's heart is in full swing, the minister should not speak in vain."

"Then ······"

After a little justification for his act of 'pouring cold water', the soldiers turned back to look at Yingbu, but their fingers were pointing around Yongcheng.

"Look, my lord."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, even though he was displeased with this brother's untimely 'advance', Yingbu still involuntarily turned sideways and cast his puzzled gaze around Yongcheng.

"Hiss ······"

"Strange ······"

After only looking around, Yingbu's face also brought the same strange look as his own soldiers.

"Yongcheng, located at the intersection of Jing and Chu, very close to Huaishui, how can Yongcheng be surrounded by more than ten miles, and how can you see green plants?"

Seeing Yingbu for a moment, he guessed what he wanted to express, and the worry on the face of the soldier faded slightly, but in his tone, it was still heavy.

"The king's words are very true."

"——Chu land, since ancient times, there have been many rivers and canals, and there is a lot of rain, and I have never heard of a lack of water in Chu land, and there is a year of drought."

"The ancestral residence of the Han King Fengyi and Peiyi is taken from the meaning of 'abundant and abundant water', and the water in this place has never been lacking."

"Abundant and abundant are in Chuxi, and if this is the case, why not talk about Yongcheng near Huaishui, and there are no old trees and trees around?"

Hearing the short words of the pro-soldier, Yingbu's face slowly swelled with a touch of clarity.

"Brother's Meaning······"

A meaningful light inquiry finally provoked the soldiers to nod their heads heavily, and it also made the relaxed color on Yingbu's face disappear, and it was immediately replaced by a gloomy color.

"Solid Wall Kiyono ······"

"Humph!"

"He is worthy of being the Prince of Han."

Seeing that Yingbu understood, the worry in the soldier's expression receded a little, but the words in his mouth were not over.

"Think about it, the king."

"——At nightfall yesterday, the prince led the elite under his command, and walked secretly from outside Hongxian County, galloping in the starry night, and suddenly appeared in Qixi."

"The crown prince of the Han Dynasty was also frightened when he saw the king's troubles, and he was defeated in half an instant, and he left from Qixi in a hurry, so as to Yongcheng."

"With such an urgent trip, and then there are chasing soldiers, where is the opportunity for the prince of Han to come to the clear field outside Yongcheng?"

Hearing that the soldiers said another word, Yingbu's face was full of solemnity.

"Yongcheng ······"

"It's the hiding place that the son has already prepared!"

With a low trumpet of annoyance, Yingbu's huge right fist also smashed on the wooden fence of the chariot!

But even so, the pro-soldier still did not stop talking wisely, but told all the guesses in his heart.

"This is indeed one of them: outside Yongcheng, when the prince of Han has been prepared, he has the appearance of today's 'strong wall and clear wilderness'."

"Ranchen's worries don't stop there."

With a grim expression, the soldier lowered his head, turned to the side slightly, and motioned for Yingbu to 'take a step to speak'.

Seeing this situation, Yingbu thought about it again and again, and finally nodded with a gloomy face, jumped down from the chariot, and pulled the clan brother who was his own soldier to a slightly empty area.

"Brother's worries are all words and widows."

With Yingbu's permission, the pro-soldier finally let go of all his worries and put all his doubts in front of Yingbu.

"One: the appearance of the crown prince of Han in Qixi is contrary to common sense."

"——As the saying goes: a gentleman, do not stand under a dangerous wall; Another so-called: before the battle array, the halberd has no eyes. ”

"The crown prince of the Han Dynasty, after the body of Sheji and Zongmiao, was entrusted by the King of Han with the responsibility of 'counterinsurgency', why is it not far from here, and stationed in Feng, Pei, and even Huaiyang and Liangdi, but he is in danger and has no more than 50,000 soldiers, and appears in Qixi?"

As he spoke, the soldiers did not forget to add urgently: "The king should know: Qixi, the north is only 200 miles away from Huaishui, and Yuanhong County is less than 100 miles!" ”

"Such a dangerous place, the crown prince of Han, why did you come from?"

"As the saying goes: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."

"The king might as well think about it: if the king is the crown prince of Han, should he risk his life and show up in Qixi?"

Hearing this, Yingbu only subconsciously shook his head slightly.

But after a while, Yingbu came back from his thoughts and said with a lonely face: "Xu is the king of Han is old, and the prince is too young to be crowned, so the prince wants to show people in the face of 'bravery', so this move?" ”

The tone was a little unconfident to raise this possibility, and Yingbu couldn't help frowning again.

"If this is the case, and the prince deliberately scattered his own place and led the widow to come with him, should this be the case?"

Hearing Yingbu's words, the soldier only nodded slowly with a sad face, but there was a touch of worry in his eyes.

"What the king said is not unreasonable."

"However, the minister foolishly thinks that if a single prince wants to show people with a brave face, he can't explain what the king sees today······"

With a meaningful word, the soldiers turned around slightly, looked at the Huainan soldiers who were puzzled not far away, and immediately took Yingbu's arm and walked out a few steps into the distance.

"The King."

"If the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, only because he is afraid of the old age of the Han king, so he is worried about the suspicion of the lord and the country in the future, he has the idea of 'showing people with bravery', and his garrison in Qixi can still be said: It is reasonable."

"It is the prince who deliberately revealed his own whereabouts, because the king came to fight, and it is also reasonable."

"But if this is the case, today, when the king led his army to Qixi, why did the prince of Han flee without a fight?"

"In this way, the prince's plan in the past will not be in vain?"

"Knowing that the prince saw the king and was frightened away, he did not come out of the trapped Yongcheng, and the generals and courtiers of the Han Dynasty could think that the prince was brave and martial, and he could inherit the temple and society of the king of the Han Dynasty?"

Hearing the successive questions of the soldiers, Yingbu's face only swelled with a trace of loneliness.

It stands to reason that Liu Ying, as the crown prince, out of the consideration of 'showing how brave he is', appeared at the intersection of Jing and Chu at the risk of his life, and even released a rumor to expose his position, which is indeed an extremely reasonable possibility, or motive.

And when Yingbu led the army to raid and appeared in the western suburbs of Qi County like falling from the sky, Liu Ying chose to 'flee without a fight', which would indeed make the original intention of 'camping in Qixi in order to express himself' no longer get the desired effect.

But the crux of the matter is: why did Liu Ying appear in Qixi, and why did he flee without a fight today······

"What do you do with the widow?!"

With a sip, Yingbu's face faintly swelled with a hint of impatience on the verge of exhaustion.

"Xu is that son is anxious for quick success and quick profit, and acts recklessly, and the party garrison Qixi; When the widow led the army to arrive, the frightened son fled in a hurry? ”

It was a perfunctory reply, but it caused the guards to frown again, and when they looked at Yingbu, they finally brought undisguised sorrow.

"King~"

"If that's the case, the crown prince of Han, why bother to clear the wilderness outside the Yongcheng city earlier?"

"If it weren't for the meaning of 'fighting with the king in Yongcheng', why did today's Han army only see panic and not collapse, but in an instant, the whole army lined up and rushed to Yongcheng?"

"——It is necessary to know that when a rat encounters a dog, it should also panic for a moment before the idea of escaping; If it is a group of rats, you should panic and flee in all directions! ”

"If it weren't for the early preparations, how could the Han army move from Qixi today, arrive at Yongcheng in half a day, and not be chased by the king?"

He said these words full of sorrow, and when he saw that Yingbu's face was full of worry again, the soldiers stepped forward slightly and bowed their hands to Yingbu.

"The King."

"The minister's foolish opinion: from the beginning of the garrison of the crown prince of the Han Dynasty in Qixi, to the king of the king's dewen where the prince is, and from the secret elite of Hongxian County, and now, the army is under the city of Yong, ······"

"—All these things, fear is the prince's plan!"

The tone was full of firm conclusions, and the pro-soldier added a sentence without rigor: "Even if it is not the prince, it should be the strategy of famous generals such as the Marquis of Jiang and the Marquis of Wuyang!" ”

"The king should know: the prince is young, and he has never commanded a soldier; This matter is known to the ministers, to the king, to the world, and to the Han Dynasty and the Chang'an court. ”

"Everyone in the world knows that the prince is weak and does not know how to fight, but in the end, the king of Han still regards the prince as the commander of the rebellion."

"The king thinks: Han Wang An can not send the famous handsome and general of the Han Dynasty to follow the prince?"

"In the future, when the king of Han and the crown prince succeed to the throne, the prince can make friends with the generals and relatives of the army, and the king of Han will also do his best to use the generals and handsome!"

Hearing this, Yingbu's expression finally returned to his previous solemn appearance again.

Regarding what the clan brother said just now, 'This is all the prince's conspiracy', Yingbu didn't believe it very much, and he didn't want to believe it.

——A teenage hairy boy, still a pampered prince who has never been on the battlefield, if he can have such a strategy, then at least for fifty years, no one can replace Liu Han!

However, the latter sentence 'famous generals offer advice', in Yingbu's opinion, the possibility is a little higher.

Although in his heart, he still didn't understand who it was, and he had the courage to come up with the plan of 'using the prince as bait', but Yingbu didn't think too much about it.

"Please also ask the clan brother to elaborate."

Seeing that Yingbu's tone regained that touch of respect, the pro-soldier only let out a long sigh in secret, and then told all his guesses.

"The minister thinks that the prince's garrison in Qixi is afraid that it will lure the king here, and he will not be able to go west!"

"If the minister's expectations are correct, from today on, the army under the command of the prince should probably close the gates of Yongcheng, take turns day and night and impose martial law, and cannot defend it, waiting for foreign aid."

"In this way, Chang'an can recruit another army in Guanzhong, and the princes of Guandong will compete to send out the county and national soldiers, gallop to the aid of Yongcheng and invite the prince to favor ······"

As he spoke, the soldier only shook his head and looked at Yingbu solemnly.

"If at that time, the king has an army of more than 100,000 troops, and he is in Huainan and Jing, I am afraid that he will also be a failure, and everything will ······be stopped."

Hearing the words of the clan brother, Yingbu's face was completely gloomy and almost dripping.

Earlier, Yingbu's attention was almost entirely attracted by the bright future of 'capturing the prince alive and forcing Chang'an to submit', and Yingbu did not feel tired at all from Qixi all the way to Yongcheng!

But now, when his brother was full of anxiety and raised the possibility that 'we may have fallen into a trap', Yingbu's heart was occupied by fanaticism and finally calmed down again.

To be precise, Yingbu's current situation is not absolutely 'within the trap'.

——If he can be willing to give up the fat of 'Prince Liu Ying', as well as the God-given opportunity of 'capturing the prince alive', Yingbu can lead his army south at any time and return to Jingdi, or the base camp Huainan Kingdom.

But just as Liu Ying fled without a fight today, which would inevitably make the morale of the soldiers under his command low, if Yingbu withdrew from Yongcheng, he would inevitably lose the morale of the army.

What's even worse is that the morale of the soldiers under Liu Ying's command is weak, and after all, it is just a 'low morale'; although the morale of the soldiers is low, but only out of the responsibility of 'swearing to protect the prince and prince', they can still afford to hold a sword and a bow.

However, if the army led by Yingbu is 'disheartened', then the next step is probably 'the army to disperse'······

The reason is simple: Yingbu is full of rebels!

For the rebels, there is absolutely no second option other than victory!

Only by successfully overthrowing the Liu Han regime can the rebel soldiers avoid being reckoned with by the Autumn Queen, and soar to the sky with the help of 'Cong Long'.

Therefore, the current situation is: theoretically, no one can prevent Yingbu from leading the army to withdraw from Yongcheng; But in fact, Yingbu can't evacuate from Yongcheng at all!

Because 'watching the prince hide in Yongcheng, but not trying to attack Yongcheng', will inevitably make the military spirit that Yingbu has finally gathered together collapse in an instant······

Thinking of this, Yingbu couldn't help but turn his head and look at the city wall of Yongcheng, his eyes were full of determination and fierce fighting intent.

"Ten days!"

"Within ten days, we must destroy the city and capture the prince alive!!"
