The long winter is gradually passing, and spring is coming, and it is another beautiful season. In the fields, the snow has not completely melted away, and there are still traces left. The breeze was bleak, and in the cold wind, a young man was moving forward alone.

It was Liu Xiu.

Following the traces, about ten days later, Liu Xiu found the Chungling Army.

At this moment, the Chung Ling army camped in Jianyang, established a simple camp, and gradually recovered a trace of vitality from the haze of defeat.

As soon as he approached the camp of the Chungling Army, he was discovered by the patrolling soldiers, and after experiencing the initial panic and vigilance, Liu Xiu was taken in.

Walking in the tent, the familiar faces of the past are gone, the former friends, and the former village party are all gone.

The number of people was roughly counted, mainly recruits, with tens of thousands, and less than 3,000 veterans.

"Uncle Wen, you're still alive!" When Liu Yan saw Liu Xiu again, tears flashed in his eyes.

In these days, I said goodbye to too many friends, the township party, and the former relatives and friends are no more. Even Liu Xiu hadn't seen him for a while, thinking that Liu Xiu had died in the army, but he didn't expect that Liu Xiu was still alive. As long as you live, everything is easy to say.

"The wind is coming, and you are lucky to escape!"

Liu Xiu said that all the things that happened these days are talking about the Yin family.

"Uncle Wen, it's good to be alive, you're still alive...... But the second child has already died! Liu Yan said.

Liu Xiu chuckled in her heart.

In the back mountain, I came across a tomb, and there was only a simple stone tablet on the tomb, and the stone tablet was engraved: The tomb of the second brother Liu Zhongzhi.

Second brother, dead!

Thinking about the second brother, Liu Xiu couldn't help but be stupid.

This is war, and anyone can die.

Now it's the second brother, and the future may be him.

The so-called "law of immortality of the protagonist" is just that later generations look at history and draw conclusions from God's perspective. But in this era, in history, there is no such thing as immortality.

Suddenly, I thought of Yue Jiajun.

With his help, the Yuejia army went north to the Central Plains and defeated the Jin State, but at the cost of more than 40,000 Yuejia troops completely buried underground;

Thinking of King Wu's attack again, the blitzkrieg attacked, although he was caught off guard, but Di Xin was not a waste of firewood, and the Yin Shang army was not a waste, and under the bloody battle, there were heavy losses and serious battle losses.

For example, King Wen of Zhou crusaded against the king of Zhou, but was defeated by Di Xin, captured and taken to the Taimiao, killed and sacrificed to his ancestors, that is a great tragedy.

Fighting always kills people!

It takes more than ten years for a life to grow from a baby to an adult to adulthood; But the moment you die, it only takes a few seconds.

Leaving the cemetery of the second brother, Liu Xiu walked around at will, and the back mountain was towering one by one, which was the grave of the people who died in the battle of the Lingling army. Most of them are empty graves, clothed mounds, and there are no corpses in them.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!

…………

A few days later, the remnants of a dozen generals of the Chungling Army gathered together to discuss future strategies.

"In this battle, the Chungling army was injured and weakened, and its vitality was greatly damaged. Once the Nanyang Army attacks, it will be a thunderous momentum! Li Tong was the first to speak, talking about the general situation, "The situation is very critical, we can't lose again, and if we lose again, we will perish!" ”

Liu Yan said: "If you have any ideas, you can say one or two!" ”

Li Yi opened his mouth and said: "In this battle, the Chungling army has injured its vitality, and the retreat left is limited. The best strategy is to leave the vicinity of Nanyang and move to other areas; The middle strategy is to unite with other rebel armies to fight against the Nanyang Army; The next strategy is to stay where you are and continue to recruit soldiers and horses! ”

As he spoke, everyone looked at Liu Yan.

As the boss, Liu Yan has to make a choice.

Liu Xiu was silent and didn't say a word.

If you talk about seniority, Liu Xiu can't rank in the top five, mostly sixth and seventh, and she relies on her brother's prestige.

In the Chungling Army, he also had no record of shooting, and his prestige was not obvious. At this moment, his position is very embarrassing, like Han Xin, the halberd under Xiang Yu.

Halberd Lang, equivalent to a senior security guard.

For generations, those who can become guards are the confidants of generals, who value them to the extreme, focus on training, and may delegate one side to one side in the future. From this point of view, it is wrong to say that Xiang Yu does not attach importance to Han Xin. It can be seen that Xiang Yu still values Han Xin.

At the military meeting, a group of generals discussed, but Han Xin, as a guard, opened his mouth to meddle in the military deployment and quarreled with General Long He. No matter what era it was, it was the end of being blasted out. Sure enough, Han Xin was blasted out of the camp.

At this point, silence is the best policy.

If you are like Han Xin, pretending to be forced to slap your face everywhere, it is extremely refreshing, but it also offends people and dies miserably.

Liu Yan was silent: "It's not advisable to leave Nanyang. Nanyang is the foundation, leaving Nanyang, like duckweed without roots, will dissipate in an instant; As for the next policy, it is too conservative and undesirable! It is advisable to unite with other rebels! ”

"But then, who has the final say?"

It is not difficult to unite, but when it comes to command, it is a big problem.

Li Tong said: "I heard a story that a wild goose flew in the sky, and the two brothers saw it, and the eldest brother said that he would shoot down the wild goose and cook it and eat it; The little brother said that he would shoot down the geese and roast them to eat! The two brothers were arguing about how to eat the wild goose, but at this time, the wild goose had already flown away! ”

"The world is like a deer, and the heroes chase it together. At this moment, the world is undecided, the power of the imperial court is strong, not to mention anything else, just a mere place of Nanyang, which just makes me anxious, exhausted, and almost perished. As for the future, I'll talk about it later...... The key now is whether you can survive or not! ”

Liu Yan nodded, the union is driven by the general trend.

"At this moment, the Nanyang Righteous Army is mainly two, one is the Green Forest Army, and the other is the Lingling Army." Liu Yan said: "The Green Forest Army went out of the mountain, and one was led by Wang Chang and Cheng Dan to enter Nanjun (now Jiangling, Hubei) in the west, and was called the Xiajiang Army; The other was led by Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Ma Wu, etc., and went north to Nanyang, called the Xinshi soldiers. When the Xinshi soldiers attacked Suixian, Chen Mu and Liao Zhan, who were from Pinglin, responded with the crowd, so another Pinglin soldier was added to the Green Forest Army. I will personally go to Xiajiang Bing and talk about cooperation! ”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone, and everyone nodded.

This meeting is not a discussion, but a final decision.

Prior to this, there was already the idea of uniting with the various rebel armies, and there was a lot of contact with the Green Forest Army, and the joint decision was roughly determined by each other, but there were some problems that had not yet been determined.

…………

"Third brother, let's go to the Green Forest Army together tomorrow!" After the meeting, Liu Yan said.

"Yes, brother!" Liu Xiu nodded and said, "The Green Forest Army is mostly homeless; The Lingling Army is dominated by Haoqiang, and the Green Forest Army has been raising troops for six years, and has been continuously attacked by the imperial court, and is forced to hide in the mountains, and his name is full. It wasn't until Emperor Zhou lost his morality that the Green Forest Army walked out of the mountains and expanded its power everywhere! ”

"Now, the Green Forest Army claims to have 100,000 people, excluding exaggerated and untrue elements, there are also 50,000 people, and the power is far greater than that of the Chungling Army! This alliance must be dominated by the Green Forest Army, and the Chungling Army will be supplemented by me! I'm going to be ready to be low! ”

Liu Yan said: "That's right, it's not right!" The battle between armies has never been about who has the most people, but about who can win the war. Even though the Lingling Army is small, if it wins on the battlefield, it will definitely be able to overwhelm the Green Forest Army! ”

"Back then, the Chu army led by Xiang Yu was less than 70,000, and the six-nation alliance army was as many as 300,000, but Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army, and the coalition army was led by Xiang Yu after all!"

Liu Xiu said: "The Chu army, if they work together, they will be invincible in the world." However, the Chu army is still split, Xiang Yu is one share, Yingbu is one share, and Xiong Xin is one share. The divided Chu army will be defeated! ”
