Chapter 28: Liu Bang borrowed troops



%d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3 Xiang Liang's main force only made a short stop at Fu Yang, he still marched north and marched to Xue County,

But at this time, not long after the army left Fu Yang, it stopped advancing, and the mighty army stretched for more than ten miles, and only the extended material team was still advancing.

On an inconspicuous high post, Xiang Liang stood with his hands behind his back, he looked into the distance with far-reaching eyes, just sent by Xiang Zhuang to send the latest news, Zhang Han led the army to cross the Yellow River, from Sanchuan County to the chasm, straight to Dangjun, its purpose may be to take a shortcut, want to surprise Pengcheng,

This made Xiang Liang a little more worried in his heart, the Pengcheng garrison was less than 20,000, which was the foundation of Xiang Liang in Shandong, once Pengcheng was lost, Xiang Liang would be in a dilemma, but the army set off, the mighty north, whether to return to the army, Xiang Liang was temporarily difficult to choose,

Besides, what Zhang Han's purpose is, it's still uncertain, the surprise attack on Pengcheng is just his own idea, if his purpose is only to control Dangjun and prepare for a long-term fierce battle against the Chu army, then he will return to the army at this time, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Time passed minute by minute, Xiang Liang was still hesitating, at this time, a cavalry galloped over, almost to Xiang Liang's side, and arched his hand: "General, we followed the Qin army all the way, and found that after they garrisoned in Li County, they did not continue to advance,"

Hearing that Zhang Han had stopped advancing, Xiang Liang felt a little relieved, and asked in a deep voice, "How many soldiers and horses do they have?"

"There are about more than 400,000," the cavalry said again, at this time, from the north, there were a few horses galloping in, the first general, it was Zhao Wei, who was a general under Dong Yi, since the first battle of Chen County, after being wounded and captured by Liji, Zhao Wei returned to Xiang Zhuang, at this time under Xiang Zhuang, as a captain,

At this moment, Zhao Wei had already come to Xiang Liang, and arched his hand and said: "General, General Xiang Zhuang of my family has taken Hu Ling, and I hereby tell the general,"

Huling is less than 100 miles away from where Xiang Liang is at this time, Xiang Liang pondered for a while, and ordered: "You go and inform Xiang Zhuang and ask him to make a list of Anmin, and I will arrive later,"

Zhao Wei arched his hand and left, at this time, Xiang Liang turned to look at the generals, and asked loudly: "Zhang Han has already entered Dang County, and will march to Surabaya County at any time, instead of waiting for the enemy army to kill, it is better for us to attack first, who is willing to fight the vanguard and go to Li County,"

As soon as Xiang Liang's voice fell, everyone bowed their heads and pondered, at this time, Xiang Liang added: "I will lead the main force to Huling, and after resting there, the troops will enter Dangjun and return to Zhanghan, at that time, we will encircle and suppress Zhanghan, and this battle will be won,"

Xiang Liang's words seemed to reassure everyone, and at this time, Zhu Jishi, who had always been silent, walked out and arched his hand: "The last general is willing to go,"

Since returning to Xiang Liang, Zhu Jishi has not made an inch, and, in the Chu army with strict military discipline, there is no military merit, it is difficult to be promoted, Zhu Jishi has long wanted to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, at this time Xiang Liang decided to encircle and suppress Zhang Han, Zhu Jishi mustered up the courage and took the initiative to ask for his life, at this time, another person came out later, came to Zhu Jishi's side, and arched his hand and said: "I am also willing to go,"

Xiang Liang looked intently, the other person was Yu Fanjun, the two volunteered to go on the expedition, Xiang Liang was overjoyed, and ordered: "I and you have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and you two soldiers enter Li County, you can't blindly go to war, you can be a suspicious soldier, wait for me to cut off his way back, and then make a decision,"

The two sang a promise and left, at this time, Xiang Liang turned his head and looked into the distance, this battle is finally about to start,

After half a pillar of incense, Xiang Liang ordered loudly: "Pass the order, march to Huling,"

,,,,,,

Under the city of Huling, a team of Chu troops is cleaning up the battlefield, some groaning// groaning, the undead Qin soldiers were taken in by the Chu army, they carried stretchers, transferred these people to the city, and some were unable to return to the sky, unable to save them, although they were not dead, but the Chu army had to swing their swords to hack them to death, and then use ox carts to pull them to the nearby mountains and bury them on the spot,

The cleanup of the battlefield has lasted for two hours, and in a while, it can be completed, but Huling City is seriously damaged because of the strong attack of the Chu army, and if you want to repair it, I am afraid that it will not be able to be restored in a year and a half.

However, this is not the forefront of the Chu army, and at present, when the world is in turmoil, it is impossible to vigorously repair it, so Xiang Zhuang just ordered to recruit some people to simply rest the city wall and city gate, so as not to have a sneak attack on Huling by the Qin army.

On the city tower, the corpse has been cleaned up, Xiang Zhuang took Wu Fang, Cao Feng, Kong Ji and others to inspect the city defense, a famous Chu army holding a halberd, standing at the head of the city, looking at the Chu flag fluttering in the wind, Xiang Zhuang felt that there was a feeling of pride in the world after victory,

But this feeling is only for a moment, Xiang Zhuang suppressed it, this is called pride and complacency, Xiang Zhuang knows that arrogance will make people regress, so he tried his best to restrain his arrogant mentality,

Seeing that the defenders were meticulous and patrolling strictly, Xiang Zhuang nodded with satisfaction and was about to leave, when Cao Feng's exclamation suddenly sounded beside him: "Look at the city, Uncle Liang's army has arrived ......"

The low horn sounded, the drums roared, the Chu army lined up neatly, marched into the city, and a large part of the Chu army, near Huling City, picked up a vacant land, set up camp, the Chu army was disciplined, and there was no looting in Huling City, the people were grateful to Dade, and they ate pot pulp to welcome the Chu army,

In the county office, Xiang Liang stood in front of the map with his hand, he was thinking about how to fight against Zhang Han in this battle.

The Qin army has 400,000 troops, although Xiang Liang said that he doesn't care, but the war is really going to start, and Xiang Liang himself is not sure whether he can win this battle.

But using Zhu Jishi as the vanguard to confuse Zhang Han, Xiang Liang felt that it was very necessary, thinking of this, Xiang Liang turned around and looked at Xiang Zhuang, and ordered: "You immediately lead the army to meet Zhu Jishi, and contain Zhang Han in the area of Li County, there must be no mistake,"

Xiang Zhuang stepped forward and arched his hand: "Nephew obeys,"

On the side, Cao Feng sighed lightly: "Are you going to go on the expedition again?"

Seeing Xiang Liang's eyes serious and looking at himself, Cao Feng knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly took a step back and stopped speaking.

Seeing that his relatives were so flustered, Xiang Liang was slightly surprised, and shouted: "Say, what an urgent report,"

"Zhu Jishi and General Yu Fanjun led their troops westward, and were ambushed by the Qin army halfway, General Yu Fanjun was killed, and General Zhu Jishi retreated, at this time there were less than 1,000 people, and they were waiting outside the house," after saying this, he bowed his head and said nothing.

This sudden news was like a thunderbolt in the sky, Xiang Liang slapped his palm angrily on the map, and made a muffled sound,

For a long time, Xiang Liang hated and said, "Bring me Zhu Jishi,"

Soon, several soldiers walked in quickly with Zhu Jishi, Zhu Jishi was covered in blood at this time, embarrassed, knelt down in front of Xiang Liang, and cried: "General, we have been ambushed, the Qin army is too brave, we ......"

"That's enough," Xiang Liang angrily stopped Zhu Jishi's words, his face was bloodless, obviously angry, and after a long while, Xiang Liang said coldly: "Marching and fighting, how can you not be defended, you are careless yourself, you have lost my 20,000 soldiers and horses, why do you come to see me now?"

When Xiang Liang said this, he looked at everyone angrily and shouted: "Come on, cut Zhu Jishi for me,"

"The general is angry," everyone gave up their hands and pleaded for Zhu Jishi, on the side, Xiang Zhuang also took a step forward and said in front of Xiang Liang: "Uncle, victory and defeat are impermanent, please forgive General Zhu,"

Zhu Jishi also kowtowed: "The general spares his life, I am willing to make meritorious service for my crimes,"

Seeing that Xiang Liang was indifferent, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Uncle, I am willing to lead an army of 30,000 to go straight to the Qin camp, and ask my uncle to forgive General Zhu,"

"The order is forbidden, if I forgive Zhu Jishi, how to command the three armies, how to serve the people, come to someone, and behead Zhu Jishi,"

"Oh," several soldiers backhanded Zhu Jishi up, to the outside of the tent, for a while, the big tent echoed Zhu Jishi's begging for mercy, until Zhu Jishi was pulled out of the tent, Xiang Liang sighed, Zhu Jishi's defeat, how much related to himself, but the first battle was defeated, Xiang Liang had to let Zhu Jishi carry this black pot,

Not long after, Zhu Jishi's head was offered, Xiang Liang looked at the bloody head, and ordered: "Order the three armies, transfer to Xue County, and temporarily avoid the edge of the Qin army,"

Xiang Zhuang wanted to say something more, but Xiang Liang had already waved his hand, interrupting Xiang Zhuang, only sighed lightly, and ordered: "Go and execute,"

,,,,,,

Liu Bang and Zhang Liang for a few days of communication, the relationship gradually deepened, besides, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang are the same age, since then, there is nothing to talk about, at this time, Liu Bang has worshiped Zhang Liang as a general, every time to Zhang Liang to discuss the situation in the world, the art of war, etc., Zhang Liang also has nothing to talk about, willing to have a deep friendship with Liu Bang,

Historically, Liu Bang was also a monarch who was very good at employing people, which is called the art of controlling people.

Not long ago, the two had rushed to Fuyang, but their pace was a step slower, I heard that Xiang Liang had already gone north, at this time garrison Xuecheng, the two continued to go north, led the army to Xuecheng, this noon, the two finally came to Xuecheng City,

The soldiers defending the city stopped this army, and soon, three thousand Chu troops rushed out of the city, and they all drew bows and arrows, aiming at Pei Jun, Liu Bang saw that the Chu army had misunderstood, and immediately rode out of the horse, and arched his hand: "Please tell General Xiang Liang, Liu Bang visited,"

On the side, Zhang Liang also arched his hand and said: "There is also the old man Zhang Liang to visit,"

Soon, after learning of Zhang Liang's visit, Xiang Liang personally led the team to greet him, and Xiang Zhuang also continued to parting with Liu Bang.

Several of Xiang Liang's relatives brought tea, each of them put a cup in front of them and left, the door of the guest hall slowly closed, at this time, Xiang Liang smiled and said: "Liu Bang, we had a relationship in Liyang, I never thought that you could come to visit today, I am very happy in my heart, very happy......

Xiang Liang's heartiness made Liu Bang feel warm in his heart, and the relationship between himself and Xiang Liang had been almost five years, and at this time Liu Bang also smiled back and said: "Liang Gong can remember me, it's an honor to be here,"

Everyone laughed, and at this time, Xiang Liang's eyes fell on Zhang Liang, and he said in surprise: "Brother Liang, let's say goodbye to Xiapi, but it's been four years, and you have been in Xiapi all these years,"

As if it was a temptation, Xiang Liang's words were tepid or cold,

Zhang Liang arched his hand and smiled back: "The situation in Shandong is turbulent, Chen Shenghuang // lewdness, although I have the heart to be a leader, but I have never had this opportunity, and now I heard that Liang Gong is in Surabaya County, I have come to share it, and I hope to give up,"

"Brother Liang is polite, you can come, I can't ask for it," Xiang Liang laughed back, at this time, Liu Bang took the opportunity of Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang to discuss the situation in Shandong, and put forward the purpose of his trip: "I lost Pei County because of the traitor under my command, and I also lost my family, this time, I hope Liang Gong can help me recapture Pei County, I am willing to destroy the fort and return to Liang Gong, I don't know ......"

From the very beginning of seeing Liu Bang, Xiang Liang felt that Liu Bang had a different temperament, this temperament made Xiang Liang think highly of him, at this time Liu Bang said the purpose of his trip, wanting to borrow troops to recapture Fengxiang, and then return to the Chu army, this kind of frank character, let Xiang Liang praise, after a short thought, Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Zhuang on the side, and ordered: "You can order troops to go out to help Liu Bang,"

Xiang Zhuang nodded and sang aloud, at this time, Xiang Liang slowly got up, looked at Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, and said with a smile: "Hou Ya has prepared thin wine, let's talk while drinking,"
