Chapter 6 The Commander Meets the Battle
When practicing boxing, Xiang Ye completely melted into the moves, and the whole world seemed to have nothing to do with him, until he took a long breath and put on a posture to close it, only to find that there was a person standing not far from him, and that person was looking at him intently.
"General Xiang Qing!" Standing on the side and watching him was Xiang Qing, who wanted to catch him twice before, although he didn't want to see her, but people looked at him without blinking, he couldn't pretend to turn around and leave without seeing it, so he had to take a few steps forward and give her a fist.
Xiang Qing obviously hadn't forgotten the fact that he was being slighted by Xiang Ye in the camp tent, his little nose shrugged and snorted softly, and turned to leave.
Xiang Ye was stunned, he originally thought that Xiang Qing would take advantage of the fact that no one else was looking for him to settle the accounts of the night before, at least pointing at his nose and scolding, but she turned her head and left as if she had forgotten the stubble, which made him feel a little unacceptable.
"Haha, General Xiang Yu has broken through Xiangcheng!" Just when Xiang Ye was stunned and hadn't recovered from Xiang Qing's strange behavior, several soldiers walked past him with a smile, and one of them said: "General Xiang Yu is really the god of war of our army, and a small city like Xiangyang actually dares to resist our Great Chu Heavenly Soldiers with the whole city!" ”
"yes, that's a bunch of stupid people!" Another soldier said: "I heard that after the city was broken, General Xiang Yu ordered the whole city to be killed, and tens of thousands of people became wandering ghosts overnight!" ”
At this time, the third soldier picked up the conversation and said: "If it were me, I heard that the army had arrived outside the city, and it was too late to run, how could I help the Qin army resist?" Those people really deserve to die, too! Well, tonight, the general is going to reward the three armies in the camp to celebrate General Xiang Yu's capture of Xiangcheng, and our brothers can drink a few more jars! ”
Several soldiers walked away as they spoke, and Xiang Ye, who had listened to their conversation, stood there and fell into deep thought.
Xiang Yu captured Xiangcheng, and Zhang Han would inevitably attack Huling soon, and Yu Fanjun would ......
"Brother, when did you come back?" As soon as he thought of this, a thunderous shout startled Xiang Ye, he turned around and looked towards the camp tent, only to see Yu Fanjun walking towards him with one hand covering his mouth and laughing, and behind Yu Fanjun was a personal soldier holding a tea bowl.
"I came back last night, and you were sleeping, General." Seeing Yu Fanjun coming over, Xiang Ye hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand at him with his fists, took the tea bowl from the hands of the soldiers behind him and said, "I met the general last night, and he asked me to follow the general from today onwards, should I arrange a barracks?" ”
Yu Fanjun glared at him, and said in a loud voice: "Arrange a fart barracks, you go to live with those big-headed soldiers, and the snoring, farting, grinding teeth, and dream-talking at night will not toss you to death." Well, you're going to live with me, I'll have someone hug you tonight, and your brother and I are notoriously honest in sleeping, and surprisingly quiet and never snore! ”
Xiang Ye blinked, his face was dazed, when he got up in the morning, Yu Fanjun did maintain the sleeping position of the previous night, but his snoring ......
"What's wrong? You still don't want to? Seeing Xiang Ye's face full of entanglement, Yu Fanjun was immediately unhappy, and shouted at him with a glaring of eyes: "Except for you, I'm not happy if someone else begs me to let me sleep in a tent with them!" ”
After that, he scratched the back of his head again, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Of course, brother, you also know, if a little lady begs me, I will reluctantly take it in." ”
"Poof!" Xiang Ye just took a sip of tea, and was not held back by Yu Fanjun's words, and all the water he had just drunk squirted out, and not a drop fell on Yu Fanjun's face.
Yu Fanjun raised his sleeves and wiped his face, and said a little depressedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, this is real tea, not jujube leaves picked on the side of the road!" ”
In Xiang Liang's tent, Xiang Liang sat in the first place, and there were two people wearing general's armor on both sides of him, on the left was a burly man with a black ink on his cheek at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, this man's slightly black face, there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, although he was expressionless sitting there, he had a majesty that was not angry and self-imposing, and the ink on his face had penetrated into the skin, and he could faintly see that it was a small seal of the word "prisoner"; On the right side of Xiang Liang is a general with white skin like a woman, this general's Danfeng eyes are a little bewitching, and his lips are already red without applying Zhu, if it is not for a wisp of beard on his chin, change her into women's clothes and embellish some yellow, she will definitely be able to attract the prodigal people in the market to gather behind him to be obsessed with him and crazy about him.
The three of them sat in the tent, their eyes all focused on the female general standing at the door.
The female general is Xiang Qing, she followed Xiang Liang's instructions last night to let people investigate who the guards who were supposed to be on duty at night, and after finding out, she searched everywhere, but never found those people, so she ran to report to Xiang Liang early in the morning. If it weren't for the delay in watching Xiang Ye practice boxing on the road, she would have come earlier.
"Father, General Yingbu, General Zhongli!" After Xiang Qing entered the tent, they gave a salute to the servants, except for Xiang Liang, who just nodded slightly at her, Yingbu and Zhong Liwu both got up together and gave her a salute back.
"I ordered someone to investigate the whereabouts of the guards yesterday night, and several guards on duty still haven't returned to the camp until this morning, and I have ordered people to look around, but there is still no news back, so I specially came to inform the three of them." After several people met the ceremony, Xiang Qing truthfully reported the disappearance of the guards to the servants.
Xiang Liang looked at Yingbu and Zhong Liwu and asked, "Two generals, what do you think of this matter?" ”
The two of them wrinkled their brows, Zhong Liwu always maintained a contemplative look and did not speak, and after a while, Yingbu raised his head and said to Xiang Liang: "General, this matter is very strange, our army has never had a disappearance of the guards outside the general's tent at night since the army started from Jiangdong, this time if there is either a ghost in the camp or General Xiang Qing offended the villain, if it is the former possibility, our army must be careful in everything in the future, if it is the latter possibility, the person who does this must have already calculated to leave the barracks, which is still extremely unfavorable to our army, Again, we have to guard against it! ”
Xiang Liang nodded, his eyes focused on Zhong Liwu and asked, "General Zhongli, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Zhong Liwu frowned and pondered for a moment before saying: "Since our army marched all the way west, advanced to the vicinity of Huling, and received a lot of people and soldiers along the way, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some half-hearted people among these people, but they can't make any waves in the army alone, the last general thinks that there must be a mastermind behind this matter, and now the most important thing is to quickly find the guards who were on duty outside General Xiang Qing's tent last night, and live to see people and corpses!" To catch a living person, you only need to torture to extract a confession, and everything will be clear naturally; If only the corpses are found, things are a little more complicated! ”
Xiang Liang didn't make a sound, and turned his face to look at Xiang Qing, as if he wanted to get an answer from her.
"Father, there is something that my daughter dare not hide!" Xiang Qing saw Xiang Liang looking at her, and hurriedly said: "Last night, I also ordered someone to make a special trip to check on General Yu Fanjun's brother, and until this morning, the people who went to investigate found nothing except that his name was Xiang Ye. On the way I just came, I happened to see him practicing boxing outside the tent, boxing dragon and tiger leaping, in one go, very atmospheric, I think this person must be unusual, and I hope my father can pay more attention! ”
Xiang Liang shook his head and said to her: "Qing'er, investigate this person's matter, don't interfere for the time being, I will arrange someone to do it." This person is dressed strangely and his hair accessories are different from mine, if it were an inner ghost sent by the Qin army or other forces, I am afraid he would not do such a swagger, but your concern is also reasonable, I will order someone to investigate! ”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Yingbu first lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Xiang Liang: "General, I got the news in the morning that Zhang Han is leading his troops towards Huling, and he will arrive here in a few days. ”
Xiang Liang twisted the beard on his chin, nodded and said: "Now that Qin Jia is killed in battle, Jingju is still here, our army should take advantage of the victory to chase and kill, so as General Yingbu said, leave Don't leave Yu Fanjun and Zhu Jishi to guard Huling and meet Zhang Han, and our army will march to Liangdi tomorrow and chase and kill Jingju!" ”
"Yes!" The three people in the tent answered at the same time and dispersed.
In the evening, bonfires were lit up all over the barracks, and almost all the officers and men ran outside the tents to sing and dance, laughing wildly and boasting about how brave they were on the battlefield.
Xiang Ye also sat in a group of soldiers, Yu Fanjun went to Xiang Liang's side, Xiang Ye's position was not high, and he could only get together with a group of low-level officers and soldiers under Yu Fanjun.
This celebration banquet with the participation of the whole army was held for Xiang Yu to break through Xiangyang, but Xiang Yu himself did not participate, he was still in Xiangyang, and after killing tens of thousands of Xiangyang soldiers and civilians, he still had many aftermath matters to deal with.
Xiang Ye held a wine jar in his hand, took a sip, and quietly listened to the junior officer sitting next to him boasting about how he cut off the enemy's head on the battlefield.
Many of them were a little drunk, and the noise was getting louder, and a few people who were not good at drinking even got into a fight with others around the campfires not far away. All of a sudden, the entire barracks was filled with laughter and scolding, and the noise and shouting were chaotic.
Xiang Ye felt a little bored, although these rude men were very cute, but what they said was of no use to him at all, listening to it, he gradually felt a little sleepy.
In order to dispel the sleepiness, Xiang Ye got up and left the bonfire and walked towards the open space on the side.
