Chapter Seventy-Two: Qin Army Spies

Facing Meng Su's questioning, Xiang Ye also felt a little confused. When Li Feng stabbed that sword at Meng Su, his mind was completely blank, and he didn't think too much about it before he rushed over and blocked her in front of her.

In fact, he didn't know why he did that, his friendship with Li You was not deep, and the relationship between them was nothing more than that Li You knew Chi Xue'e, and he and Chi Xue'e had been on the same road.

"Why don't you speak?" Xiang Ye didn't speak, but Meng Su didn't intend to let him go, she stepped forward, her face almost touched Xiang Ye's face and asked, "You really have no other reason to protect me except for making a promise to Lord Li?" ”

Xiang Ye raised his head, and he saw that Meng Su's eyes were filled with tears, and his face was also full of tears.

He smiled slightly, raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears for Meng Su, and said to her softly: "Meng Su, I don't know why I pounced in front of you at that time, maybe it's just a conditioned reflex, don't think too much, stay here, don't behave too well, otherwise you will be jealous of others, understand?" ”

"No!" Meng Su shook his head desperately, threw himself into Xiang Ye's arms, and said to him with a sob: "Xiang Ye, in so many days, I have already thought about it, our Meng family has been killed by the whole family, even if I kill back to Xianyang and really destroy Zhao Gao Manmen, it is impossible for my grandfather and father to come back to life." No matter where you are, I will go with you, I am willing to be your woman, as long as you don't abandon me, I will never leave you for the rest of my life! ”

Meng Su suddenly threw himself into his arms, Xiang Ye was a little caught off guard, his two arms were like the wings of an airplane, and his eyes became a little chaotic, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Meng Su rested her head on Xiang Ye's shoulder, her stature was too tall, almost shoulder to shoulder with Xiang Ye, she could only put her head on Xiang Ye's shoulder, and hugged his back tightly with both hands.

"Hold me." Just when Xiang Ye was at a loss, Meng Su whispered in his ear, "I want you to hold me." ”

Xiang Ye hesitated and wrapped his hands around Meng Su's back, his palms could clearly feel the heat emanating from Meng Su's body, but he never dared to really hug her tightly.

"Hold me!" Meng Su tightened the arm holding Xiang Ye again, she hugged it very hard, even Xiang Ye was a little out of breath by her.

Xiang Ye tightened his arms obediently and hugged Meng Su tightly in his arms.

Both of them were wearing thick leather armor, and they didn't feel much when their bodies were pressed together, but Meng Su still hugged Xiang Ye tightly and didn't want to let go......

This night, Xiang Ye slept very unsteadily, and all that appeared in his mind was the shadow of Meng Su. Meng Su, who has always been very strong in his eyes, actually leaned on his shoulder and cried, and he cried pear blossoms with rain and cried delicately.

His heart softened, and he softened at that time, and he didn't know whether the decision to leave Meng Su alone in Liu Bang's military camp was right or wrong.

Xiang Ye knew very well that he would definitely leave Liu Bang in the future, there was only one reason, Liu Bang was destined to eradicate all the heroes who threatened his throne after winning the country, he didn't like such people, and it was impossible to fight the world for such people.

If he had a choice, he would choose Xiang Yu. In his mind, Xiang Yu is a real hero, a nobleman with noble blood, but Xiang Yu is doomed to fail in the future and destined to become a stepping stone for Liu Bang's hegemony.

Xiang Ye is a bloody person, and he is also a person who values love and commitment, but he is also a person who knows how to survive. If he was allowed to rely on his preferences and decided to take refuge in Xiang Yu knowing that Xiang Yu would fail, he would definitely refuse, unless objective conditions made him have to do so.

Xiang Ye, who was full of cranky thoughts, fell asleep in a daze when the rooster crowed.

I don't know how long he slept, but Xiang Ye, who was sleeping, heard a horn sound, and hurriedly turned over and sat up, startling the two soldiers who were delivering water to his room.

"Why is the trumpet blowing outside?" After Xiang Ye got up, he asked the two soldiers who had just put down the barrel while putting on his shoes.

The two soldiers bowed, and one of them said, "General Qiyu, General Xiang Yu is gathering the whole army, and the whole army will be pulled out today." ”

"Oh!" Xiang Ye nodded, and then asked, "Are General Mengsu and General Shi Lei up?" ”

"Up!" It was the soldier who answered his question: "The two generals are already waiting outside, just waiting for General Xiang." ”

Xiang Ye didn't speak again, got up and took the drape, and the soldier stepped forward to help him put the drape neatly, and then he walked out of the room with his hand pressed the hilt of the sword in a mighty posture.

Arriving at the school with Meng Su Shilei, they found that the whole army had already been assembled, and Liu Bang also led a cadre of military generals to wait here.

As soon as Xiang Ye appeared on the school ground, Liu Bang greeted him.

Seeing Liu Bang coming, Xiang Ye, Meng Su, and Shi Lei hurriedly bowed down and clasped their fists to salute him, and said at the same time: "The last general has seen Pei Gong." ”

"Huh." Liu Bang smiled very honestly, raised one hand and said, "The three generals are exempt." ”

After that, he stretched out his hand to hold Xiang Ye's hand and said, "General Xiang, the whole army is ready to go, please give the general an order!" ”

Xiang Ye hurriedly withdrew the hand that was being held by Liu Bang, bowed down and saluted him again and said: "Pei Gong, I really don't dare to be the last general of the hussar general, and I hope that Pei Gong will remove me from my post and appoint another capable person." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bang pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why did General Xiang say this?" The change of generals on the march is a taboo in the army, and this matter must not be mentioned again! ”

Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Liu Bang would readily agree to the request for Liu Bang to replace him, but he didn't expect to be rejected by a mouthful, and he immediately pestled there, not knowing what to do.

In fact, after Lu Pheasant walked around with Shi Lei, he had already fed back Xiang Ye's thoughts to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang had also discussed with Xiao He, Fan Hao and others before knowing about this matter, and he wanted to gradually empty Xiang Ye in the future march, so that he had no power or power.

Xiang Ye offered to resign from the post of hussar general, which was right in the middle for Liu Bang. But he couldn't agree to Xiang Ye's request on the spot, and he was named a hussar general on the first day, if he was removed from his post the next day, it would not be a big deal for Xiang Ye, anyway, he didn't want to continue in this position, but for Liu Bang, it was a major event that would make the whole army think that he had changed his orders and had no credibility.

Liu Bang knew this very well, but Xiang Ye didn't expect it.

Seeing Xiang Ye stunned there, Liu Bang patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Since General Xiang has no intention of leading the troops, then the whole army is still led by generals such as Fan Hao and Zhou Bo, as for General Xiang and the two generals Meng and Shi, just stay by my side, and learn to lead the troops in the future, and then lead the whole army!" ”

As soon as Liu Bang said this, Xiang Ye realized that Liu Bang was thinking more carefully than he was. Liu Bang not only considered how to reduce his military power, but also considered how to explain to the whole army, so as not to give it to others.

When the army left Chengyang, Liu Bang's army followed behind Xiang Yu's army. It was Xiang Ye's turn to go out of the city, and Xiang Yu had already walked far away. Xiang Ye didn't see the legendary god of war-like figures, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

In fact, Xiang Ye didn't know that it was precisely because of the different times of departure of the two armies that he still passed by two people he had always thought were dead.

I don't know if Xiang Yu deliberately slowed down the trip or encountered trouble ahead, the Chu army advanced very slowly, and it was not until it got dark that the army marched less than fifty miles.

After the army stopped, Xiang Yujun and Liu Bangjun were stationed on both sides of the road.

There were weeds everywhere on both sides of the road, and after the soldiers set up their tents, they spread a large piece of linen cloth in the tents of generals such as Xiang Ye and Meng Su, and covered and compacted the grass with linen.

The grass is covered with linen, and it is soft and comfortable to walk on, and it feels a little like a carpet more than 2,000 years later, or even more comfortable than a carpet.

After entering the camp tent, Xiang Ye took off his armor, lay flat on the ground, and stretched comfortably.

As soon as he closed his eyes and was about to sleep beautifully, he heard someone shouting outside the tent: "Catch the spies, the Qin army spies are here!" ”

Hearing the shout, he got up, he was not worried about what threat the spies would pose to the army, the history he knew had already told him that this army would continue to fight in the pass, and finally withdrew because of the disastrous defeat of Xiang Liang in the Battle of Dingtao.

He was worried about Meng Su, if the so-called Qin army spies were not here to spy on intelligence, but assassins sent by Zhao Gao to murder Meng Su, he had to be very careful.

Unable to put on his armor, Xiang Ye picked up his long sword and jumped out of the camp. After jumping out of the camp, he saw Meng Su and Shi Lei standing outside their respective tents, and shouted to Shi Lei: "Shi Lei, you take care of Meng Su, I'll chase the spies!" ”

Before Shi Lei could agree, Xiang Ye had already jumped on horseback and rushed towards the crowd of people who were chasing the spies.

After all, Chi Ji was not an ordinary war horse, and it didn't take long for Xiang Ye to catch up with the Chu army who were chasing the spies. After surpassing these Chu troops, he saw from a distance a man in front of him who was galloping on a horse with a halberd in his hand.

Judging from the back, the man was as strong as an iron tower, and he was not an ordinary character at first glance, which made Xiang Ye even more firm in his idea that he was sent by Zhao Gao to assassinate Meng Su.

The war horse ridden by the person in front of him ran fast, almost on par with Xiang Ye's Chiji.

Xiang Ye saw that the distance between him and the man could not be narrowed, and his heart couldn't help but be anxious, he raised his legs and pinched the horse's belly fiercely, Chiji was in pain, neighed, and accelerated his running speed again.

The two of them galloped forward and backward, and in a moment, they had thrown the Chu army that followed far away.

Just when Xiang Ye was annoyed that Chi Ji had never been able to catch up with the other party, the person in front of him suddenly reined in his war horse, holding a halberd in his hand and standing in front of Xiang Ye with his back like an iron tower.
