Chapter 454 The scope of the heavy rain was something that everyone did not expect, and Jiujiang was quickly soaked in the heavy rain.

This slowed down the Qin army's offensive to a certain extent, and also gave Xiang Liang a chance to breathe. Xiang Liang was ready to retreat eastward, so the army was already packing up its things, as long as the rain stopped, the army would immediately retreat eastward.

But at this time, Zhang Liang suddenly fell ill. Xiang Liang still values Zhang Liang very much, after all, there are few talents in the army, and Zhang Liang is indeed a talented person, if he can be subdued, it will be of great benefit.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Liang fell ill, Xiang Yu took the doctor to visit Zhang Liang's condition.

"Thank you, General Xiang, I have to take time out of my busy schedule." Han Cheng arched his hand and said.

"You're welcome. Why did the ovary suddenly get sick? Xiang Liang asked. Han Cheng sighed and said, "The mood of the room has not been very good these days, I thought that the ovary was just a little exhausted because of the current situation, but I didn't expect that I started coughing continuously yesterday, and now I can't afford to be sick." ”

"Squeak~" The door suddenly opened, and the doctor walked out of the room. Xiang Liang hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is the ovary?" What is the disease? The doctor stroked his beard and said, "Zhang Gongzi fell ill this time because of exhaustion and infection with wind and cold." ”

"How long will it take?" Xiang Liang asked.

"It's hard to say." The doctor said: "If it is just a cold wind, you can go to the ground in ten days and half a month, but Zhang Gongzi is still suffering from heart disease, which is difficult to treat." Xiang Liang frowned and said, "General Ben ordered you to do your best to heal the ovary, and General Ben will have a reward at that time." ”

"General, the old man must do his best." The doctor said. After Xiang Liang knew the situation, he went into the house to see Zhang Liang again, and then left.

Han Cheng sat on the edge of Zhang Liang's bed and sighed: "Seeing that you are still fragrant, looking at Xiang Liang's meaning, I am going to retreat east with you, my whereabouts are not important to Xiang Liang, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out." Zhang Liang said weakly: "This is your best chance to leave this dispute." ”

"This illness has made me figure out a lot. I am bent on recovering the country, but after all, it is just a frustration, and now that I think about it, it is ridiculous. If there is still a chance, I really want to be an idle fish and wild crane, and travel to this great river and mountain. ”

"There's still a chance, ovary, you can take care of your illness, I will definitely be able to think of a way to pull you out of this quagmire." Han Cheng grabbed Zhang Liang's hand and said.

"No need, Xiang Liang won't let me leave easily, you don't have to risk it for me."

"Moreover, my body is probably difficult to heal." Zhang Liang coughed violently again as he spoke.

"Okay, okay, stop talking, lie down and recuperate, and talk about it when you're well." Han Cheng said hurriedly.

After Zhang Liang came to his senses, he pulled Han Cheng and said, "Now Xiang Liang is the most vigilant time, and he must not act rashly. If you really want to act, you must wait for Xiang Liang to retreat. At that time, Xiang Liang couldn't be distracted, and it was the best time. ”

"I see, you can rest first." Han Cheng helped Zhang Liang cover the quilt, and then waited beside Zhang Liang all the time.

When Zhang Liang was in better spirits, he would chat with Han Cheng for a few words. During this period, Xiang Liang still took time to come to see Zhang Liang from time to time and say a few words to Zhang Liang, hoping to take this opportunity to close the distance.

······ On the Donghui side, the heavy rain is still falling. The rain has already gathered into a small depression under the city, but it still has no intention of stopping.

The rain has been falling, which has also made it more difficult to deliver materials and store food. In the past few days, the grain and grass transported from the rear of Daqin are all potatoes and sweet potatoes, which has led to an endless stream of fart sounds in the military camp.

Fortunately, it has been raining and the air is relatively humid, otherwise the smell of this fart would really stink the entire barracks.

Qin Xi was in the big tent of the Chinese army, eating potatoes dipped in chili peppers, while looking at the map. Meng Tian walked in from outside, patted off the water droplets on his body, and said, "I'm tired, I just ran to Surabaya and Yishui, and unloaded some water, otherwise it won't be blocked." Qin Xi handed Meng Tian a leaning potato and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, who knows that this rain has been falling intermittently for such a long time, once we release water at this time, the strategic goal is difficult to achieve, but the people in the city can't stand it when they soak in water in this weather." ”

"Yes, I don't know when the rain will stop, it's not a matter if it goes on day by day."

"Now in the camp, there are fart sounds everywhere, and it's almost like an army of farts." Meng Tian said with a smile.

Qin Xi also almost laughed out loud, and said: "No way, in this weather, potatoes and sweet potatoes are better stored than other grains after they are baked." ”

"Yes, but these taste a little better than steamed buns and rice balls, and they also have a good taste." Meng Tian finished eating the potatoes in his hand in three or two clicks.

Meng Tian pointed to Jiujiang on the map and said, "At present, Jiujiang is also in heavy rain, and the offensive over there has been forced to stop, which can give Xiang Liang a lot of respite. Qin Xi finished eating the potato Zhihong in his hand, and dipped his fingers in some chili noodles to eat.

Qin Xi said: "I see, now Xiang Liang is likely to make a choice, either go north to disturb Sichuan County, or retreat east to Donghui and unite his troops. ”

"What choice does Your Highness think Xiang Liang will make?" Meng Tian asked with a smile. Qin Xi said without thinking: "Go north to Sichuan County and take the opportunity to rush into the Central Plains." As long as the Central Plains is in chaos, the world will inevitably follow. Meng Tian smiled and said, "If Xiang Liang really goes north to Sichuan County as His Majesty said, then we will be much easier." Qin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Is there any deployment in Sichuan County that I don't know?" Only then did Meng Tian smile and say the layout of Sichuan County, which had nothing to do with Qin Xi.

After Qin Xi suddenly lost the news in Jiujiang County, it made everyone anxious, especially the First Emperor.

It happened that the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north were frightened by the artillery and did not dare to go south, so the first emperor transferred 50,000 heavy armor elites, led by Fusu himself, and secretly went to Sichuan County.

If it weren't for Qin Xi's main defeat of Xiang Liang's hidden granary later, and this incident let the First Emperor know Qin Xi's whereabouts, then these 50,000 heavy-armored elites would have been directly killed into Sichuan County with Dongjun and Sichuan, a total of 130,000 troops.

Later, the First Emperor hid this army in Sichuan County, as an ambush soldier, just to wait for Xiang Liang to go north.

I didn't expect that this Liang was so careless that he had a stalemate with the Qin army in Guyan, thus giving up the opportunity to go north to the Central Plains.

But now, Xiang Liang has been forced to either go north to Sichuan County, or retreat east to the point of Donghui.

If Xiang Liang chooses to go north to Sichuan County, it will be equivalent to giving up the army of Donghui County led by Xiang Bo, which will greatly hit the military morale of Donghui County.

And if Xiang Liang retreats east to Donghui County, then Xiang Liang has no way to retreat, so he can only be surrounded in Donghui County, and then be gathered and annihilated!
