The Yongjun took advantage of the night, quietly retreated, at this time on the battlefield of Yixian, only a team of Han troops were left to clean the battlefield, because they got the news of the retreat of the Yongjun army in advance, the Han army launched an attack on the Yongjun camp in the early morning, and the thousands of Yongjun troops who stayed behind were ruthlessly killed by the Han army, and then, the Han army captured Yixian, but they were not in a hurry to abolish Qiu, but after occupying Yixian, they began to mobilize people's strength, recruit people, and prepare to repair the plank road of the Baochuan Road.

The Yongjun army retreated in a hurry, leaving a lot of supplies, at this time half of the Yongguo country has been occupied by the Han army, although Xiao He said several times, hoping that Liu Bang would strike while the iron was hot and send troops to Xianyang, breaking Zhang Han's idea of asking for help from Dong Yi, but Liu Bang was worried that the troops would be evacuated because of the division of troops, and he never agreed to Xiao He's request.

And in the past few days, Liu Bang has always been worried about not Zhang Han, but Xiang Yu of Western Chu and Xiang Zhuang of Eastern Chu, he is very worried, Chu will take this opportunity to return to Guanzhong, although Guanzhong has been basically controlled by himself, but once the Chu army enters the customs, the situation is not optimistic.

Liu Bang has also made countless assumptions, if Xiang Yu enters the customs, the first thing he will do must be to take Zhang Han's military power, join forces in one place, and start a war with himself, Zhang Han is not a fool, he will not easily hand over the military power, and what about Xiang Zhuang's entry into the customs? I'm afraid that once Xiang Zhuang enters the customs, he will inevitably unite with Zhang Han against him, which is one of the reasons why Liu Bang always regards Xiang Zhuang as an opponent, but does not care too much about Xiang Yu.

How much wind and waves can a horseman, no matter how fierce, rise?

Just when Liu Bang was thinking crankily in his heart, General Zhou Bo walked over quickly: "King, there is an urgent military situation." ”

"What's the fuss?" Liu Bang was surprised, Zhou Bo came to the front, and said in a low voice: "I got a report from the scout, near Jiangling, I found the warship of the Eastern Chu army. ”

"Gangneung?" Liu Bang was stunned by what Zhou Bo said, how could there be a warship of the Eastern Chu Army in Jiangling? But after thinking about it, he was suddenly stunned, could it be that Xiang Zhuang already knew the news of his going north, and was ready to transfer troops into the customs, so he would also come to insert a lever?

At this time, the victory is in hand, if Dongchu comes to insert a lever, I am afraid that this will ......

Liu Bang didn't dare to think about it, he immediately ordered Zhou Bodao: "Send more scouts, pay close attention to the movements of Nanjun, and in addition, order someone to go Han Xin to find my account." ”

……

South of Yixian, north of the Wei River, there is a large camp of the Han army stretched here, in order to ensure that the Baochuan Road can start as soon as possible, the Han army stopped the move to continue to advance eastward, and the troops are stationed here, Liu Bang's camp is also among them, that is, hidden, at this time Han Xin, Fan Xu, Guan Ying and other general generals have hurried to come, as well as Xiao He, Li Shiqi, Li Shang and others also hurriedly returned to the camp after Han Xin and others.

Liu Bang has told everyone the news of the discovery of the Eastern Chu Army, everyone is surprised and happy, shocked that the Eastern Chu Army actually went west at this time, but in addition to the shock, there is joy, the joy is that the East Chu Army is moving westward, if the Han Army can grasp this opportunity to annihilate the East Chu Army in Guanzhong in one fell swoop, he will compete in the future, except for Xiang Yu, who else is there to be afraid of in the Han Army?

Of course, this is only some people's thoughts, Liu Bang is very jealous of Xiang Zhuang, at this time to gather everyone, Liu Bang after thinking for a while, said: "No profit can not be early, Xiang Zhuang suddenly went west, I faintly feel that he wants to win over the forces in Guanzhong and compete with our army, and Xiang Zhuang is a far-sighted person, by no means a tributary of Xiang Yu, and he fights, to be honest, I am not absolutely sure."

Liu Bang's words made everyone sigh softly, Xiao He also got up and arched his hand: "Only now, our army has occupied Yixian, the king should quickly send troops, has taken Xianyang with a thunderous blow, blocked the road to the south, and then besieged the waste of Qiu, if the waste of Qiu is defeated, Yongguo will die, and then we will garrison Wuguan, even if Xiang Zhuang wants to enter the pass, there is nothing to be done." ”

"If Zhang Han doesn't retreat and abolish Qiu, I'm not afraid, but at this time, he is holding Yongcheng, and the high walls of Qiu City are thick, and it is not easy to attack, how can this be good?" Liu Bang was a little worried, Han Xin saw this, got up and said: "Why should the king be like this, although the Eastern Chu army is elite, but our army is not much worse than the Eastern Chu army, even if they enter the Guanzhong and unite with Zhang Han, our army has the advantage in numbers, morale is flourishing, and it may not necessarily be defeated, now what Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said is a good policy, occupy Xianyang, cut off Zhang Han's hope of asking for help from the north, we are recovering the territory of Zhai State in an orderly manner, and then go south, and launch an attack together with Yixian, abolish Qiu Kexia, and then, occupy Wuguan, Hangu Pass, Guanzhong can be determined, Xiang Zhuang is not worried. ”

After Han Xin finished speaking, Li Shiqi also got up and said with a smile: "Does the king still remember Deng Qi, the county commander of Wanxian County?" He had been treated favorably by the king, although he was under the command of Xiang Yu, but this person was not strong-willed, if the king was willing to pay a lot of money, promised to be a high-ranking official, I would like to go for the king to go on a trip, persuade Deng Qi to surrender to the Han Kingdom, and then, Wanxian County is the first hurdle of Xiang Zhuang, with him delaying Xiang Zhuang, the king still has and worries? ”

Li Shiqi's words were like an enlightenment, Liu Bang instantly relaxed a lot, he looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "As you said, Han Xin, this king ordered you to lead an army of 150,000 to march to Xianyang, Li Shiqi, how to persuade Deng Qi, this king depends on you." ”

……

Jiangling Palace, Xiang Zhuang in Cao Feng, Ying Liang and others, accompanied by slowly walked into the palace hall, Gong Ao with his son Gong Wei and others have been waiting here, after everyone sat opposite each other, several attendants sent tea, and after the waiter retreated, Xiang Zhuang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Gong Ao and said: "My army has been stationed in Yan County, ready for battle, at this time I came to Jiangling for the purpose of presumably the King of Linjiang has understood, success or failure, I hope you have a word, I must rush back to the camp as soon as possible these days." ”

Gongao has long been reported by the county order of Yanxian County, thousands of large ships of the Eastern Chu Army, nearly 50,000 troops are stationed in Yanxian County, such a large army, the county order of Yanxian County cannot prevent them from entering the country at all, besides, without Gongao's order, no one has the courage to stop them, lest it affect the alliance between the two countries.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang came to visit in person, and Gong Ao knew that it would not work if he did not give Xiang Zhuang a satisfactory answer.

Gong Ao also picked up the teacup and drank tea quietly, he was not in a hurry to reply, but his mind was thinking quickly, this time Gong Wei went east, the technology of iron smelting and the sword casting process Xiang Zhuang have already agreed, at this time, he must not give Xiang Zhuang face, but the strength of Linjiang Country at this time is not very much, if there are too many sent, Linjiang Country will become empty, if there are fewer people, and I am worried that Xiang Zhuang is dissatisfied, Gong Ao just drank tea quietly, and did not dare to reply easily.

seemed to see Gongao's embarrassment, after Xiang Zhuang put down the teacup, he just smiled heartily: "Although Liu Bang has 300,000 soldiers, but the momentum is vast, but it is a group of rabble, vulnerable, I brought 50,000 soldiers and horses this time, which is enough to prove that we do not put the Han army in our eyes, in this way, I am not embarrassed by the king of Linjiang, I only need 30,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 soldiers and horses to help me go west, how?" ”

This 'how' is soft and rigid, Gong Ao immediately put down the teacup, there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes, he didn't understand, did Xiang Zhuang have such confidence?

30,000 soldiers and horses, for Gongao, no more, no less, within an acceptable range, hesitated for a moment, Gongao looked at his son Gongwei, and Lang Ran ordered: "Gongwei is the main general, Dou Lin is the deputy general, you two have 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, join the army of the king of Eastern Chu and march towards Guanzhong." ”

Gong Ao finally expressed his position, Xiang Zhuang also got up and said with a smile: "With the help of the soldiers and horses of the King of Linjiang, this battle will be won, I will not delay much, I still have something to do, I will go back to Yanxian County first." ”

……

When Xiang Zhuang returned to Yan County, it was already three days later, at this time, the material supplies of Dongchu were basically in place, and some of them had already set off one step ahead and marched to Xi County to open the way for the army, and Xiao General Jun Zi also led 7,000 cavalry two days ago to cross the three pontoon bridges in Deng County and advance to Wuguan.

It can be said that at this time, the Eastern Chu State was ready to fight with the Han army, but the main force was not moved here, the first was to wait for reinforcements from the Linjiang State, and the second was that Xiang Zhuang had not officially begun to deploy the battle situation after entering the pass, so all the generals were waiting for Xiang Zhuang to arrive.

Xiang Zhuang just returned today, and hurriedly came to the handsome account, in the handsome account, Hua Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him, and said softly beside Xiang Zhuang: "There is a report from the horse, and a strange carriage was found on the official road of Wanxian County, and the strategists of the Han army were sitting in the carriage. ”

After speaking, Hua Yu looked at Xiang Zhuang's expression and said, "Do you want to send someone to arrest him?" ”

Xiang Zhuang involuntarily stopped after hearing Li Shiqi's name, but he thought for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "This person appeared in Wan County, it is estimated that he came to plot against Deng Qi." ”

"Deng Qi? Isn't he already attached to Xichu? Hua Yu was puzzled, but Xiang Zhuang sneered again: "In the battle of Qin, Deng Qi was the first to surrender, it was Liu Bang, although he had no dealings with the Han State, but this person was not strong-willed, and it was easy to be moved, so Liu Bang would start with him, and it was really a good plan." ”

At this time, Ding Gu and others had already come to Xiang Zhuang's side, and Ding Gu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Xiang Zhuang mention this person: "Does Liu Bang want to use Deng Qi to obstruct us?" He also looks down on Deng Qi too much? Why don't you let me go and meet him, I only bring 2,000 soldiers and horses, and I will definitely be able to kill him crying and calling his mother. ”

"Hehe, he is a subordinate of my brother Xiang Yu, we rashly sent troops to attack Wanxian, once my brother learns about it, he must suspect that I have different intentions, and this matter cannot be done." Xiang Zhuang said coldly.

On the side, Zhou Sheng stepped forward and persuaded: "Why didn't the king go out of the city to work in the name of the army, capture him in the army, and behead him in the name of plotting against him, and then report to the king of Western Chu, saying that he colluded with the Han army and beheaded him, so that the king of Western Chu would not be suspicious of the king." ”

Xiang Zhuang still didn't agree to Zhou Sheng's proposal, he thought for a moment, looked at Wanxian County, Nanyang County on the sand table, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said in an extremely confident tone: "It's not difficult for Lao Jun to lure him out of the city, but the evidence is insufficient, not enough to convince the public, I am free to let this guy show his fox tail, and then justifiably, use his head to sacrifice the flag, everyone is waiting to see a good show." ”

As he spoke, Xiang Zhuang raised his head and laughed, he immediately looked at the generals Ding Gu and Cao Wuxian, and ordered: "The reinforcements of the Linjiang Army will arrive in the next few days, and after they arrive, we will join forces and march westward, and we must arrive at Wuguan within ten days, understand?" ”

"Whoa." Everyone knelt on one knee and gave the order.
