The woman in blue said lightly: "You don't have to know who I am, you kill innocents indiscriminately, you are cruel and unreasonable, narrow-minded, you are not worthy of being the king of Guanzhong, you can lead your Chu army back to Jiangdong as soon as possible or save your life." The muscles on her face didn't move at all as she spoke, and if she hadn't heard the voice coming from her mouth, I would have thought she was a zombie of the walking dead. But it is also strange that her voice is extremely delicate and crisp, which is unforgettable.

Although Xiang Yu was angry when he heard this, he saw that all the Chu troops on the city wall were killed, and the dead soldiers of the Chu army under the city wall turned around one after another, pushing the broken ladder and the seriously damaged siege vehicle to slowly retreat.

Tian Heng and the woman in blue didn't chase after them, but let Xiang Yu leave. Tian Heng thought to himself, this woman is so righteous, and she saved the lives of all the soldiers of my army, but it is a pity that she has this strange appearance, which is really a pity, but people can't look good, so he immediately bowed deeply and said: "Today's Domeng girl helps, and the great virtue is unforgettable." ”

The woman returned the salute respectfully and said: "King Qi doesn't need to be polite, a few days ago, Pei Gong heard that King Qi had the intention of blocking the Xiang army from entering the pass, so he sent me to help you, and there were 20,000 soldiers behind, I was worried that the Xiang army would attack the city, so I arrived first." ”

When Tian Heng heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "That's great, with the help of the girl, the old man is not afraid of that army!" and shouted to the soldiers: "Soldiers, have you heard, Pei Gong Xianming, sent this powerful general to help us, we are saved in Linzi!"

In an instant, the soldiers of the Qi army crowded on the city wall roared one after another, and the huge sound almost shattered the eardrums of the Chu army on the opposite side, and many Qi army recruits jumped on the battlements, some lifted their battle robes, some blew whistles, and some pouted their butts and swayed from side to side, cheering and provoking the Chu army.

In the distance, in the formation of the Chu army, Xiang Zhuang looked like iron.

Who is this woman in blue, it's really not simple, as soon as she came, the form was reversed, and the soldiers of the Qi army also became brave, and even the eldest brother had always been invincible and retreated, it seems that this battle of Linzi may take more effort, but it doesn't matter, the king of Qi only has a lone army, and how long can it last, but the speed of entering the pass is probably slow, can the eldest brother still be the king of Guanzhong? Thinking of this, he became anxious again, and he had to hurry up to discuss with the eldest brother and his father.

That night, Xiang Yu raised the big tent to gather generals, and said with a solemn face: "Today, I saw that I was about to capture Linzi, but suddenly the woman in blue appeared to help, causing our army to suffer huge losses, and returned in a fiasco, it is really hateful, but today's thing is really weird, the woman in blue looks weird and ugly, like a walking corpse, but it is extremely powerful, and my sword was almost swept away, fortunately, I came back in time, with her to help Tian Heng defend the city, it will be difficult to take Linzi City quickly." What do you think?"

Xiang Yu's gaze swept to the faces of the generals, and everyone felt incredible, obviously Linzi was at his fingertips, but he killed such a strange person halfway, as brave as Xiang Yu felt that it was difficult to resist, who else could be more powerful than Xiang Yu, and they all bowed their heads to avoid Xiang Yu's gaze, and were silent.

Xiang Zhuang said: "General, what kind of weapon is that strange woman using, so powerful?"

Xiang Yu said: "It is a silver long whip, everywhere it goes, the wind is strong, the internal force is strong, and the soldiers are flying flesh and blood." ”

Xiang Zhuang was secretly happy in his heart, and then dimmed in an instant, and secretly thought to himself: "That silver whip is not Ling'er's demon whip, is it Ling'er, but the eldest brother knows Ling'er, and he also said that the woman's appearance is strange and ugly, Ling'er is as beautiful as a fairy, rare in the world, it is definitely not her, maybe someone uses a whip as a weapon like Ling'er." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Big brother, tomorrow I will go to the battle to meet that woman, and when I test her methods, let's discuss countermeasures." ”

Fan Zeng said: "General Zhuang, I think they just want to delay the time when our army enters the pass, tomorrow they will strengthen their vigilance, and the female general may not be dedicated again, we have to try to lure her out, she is in the city for a day, we will be difficult to break the city for a day, we can't pass this pass, we can't get to Hangu Pass, and Liu Bang will enter the pass first." ”

Xiang Yu hurriedly said: "Does the father have a good plan?"

Fan Zeng pondered for a moment and said, "General, for today's plan, the only way to advance is to retreat." ”

"Retreat as advance?" Xiang Yu suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Father said quickly, how can you use retreat as the way to advance?"

Fan Zeng said in a deep voice: "We pretended to retreat, let out a lot of rumors, the soldiers retreated in three ways, one way to Pengcheng, and the other two roads retreated to Luliang near Guanzhong, Sanmenxia, both of which are around Linzi, as long as we break through these two places, we can still enter Guanzhong unexpectedly." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Yafu, these two places are the barrier places of the Qin army, the mountains and highlands are dangerous, easy to collect and difficult to attack, and we may not be able to break through quickly." ”

Fan Zeng said: "Whether or not we can win a war depends not only on the comparison of military strength and the superiority of geographical location, but also in the hearts of the people and the military! Of course, there are also some important factors for victory, such as strategy; another example, tactics! There are also opportunities given by God, such as wind, frost, rain and snow, thunder, lightning, haze, and so on. However, the most important thing is the firmness of the army's will and the strength of its combat strength!

He looked at everyone and let out a long exclamation, "The disease of the world is due to the violent Qin, and it has been a long time! The hatred of the six countries has been strong for a long time! Otherwise, with Chen Sheng, how can hundreds of soldiers and soldiers in Wuguang District be able to uncover the rod and call out and the whole world responds? At the beginning, Zhou Wen led the order of King Chen to the west, and there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses, but he was able to go all the way to Hangu Pass like no one, and almost attacked Guanzhong and shook Xianyang! Now that our army has become famous in a war, the Qin army has no more troops to send, and the princes of the world can compete with our army except for a very few who disobey our Chu army?

Xiang Yu raised his glass excitedly: "What the father said is very true, everyone respects the father!"

Fan Zeng raised his glass with everyone and drank the wine in front of him.

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but ask again: "But the eldest brother killed 200,000 Qin troops, but they are all old Qin people, can the Qin people not hate our army? The closer they get to Guanzhong, the more fierce the resistance!"

Long He couldn't help but interrupt him: "General Zhuang, haven't you listened to Father Ya's words, the Qin people have no army to send, and those defenders are only a few thousand, where can they block the hundreds of thousands of troops of our army?"

Xiang Zhuang continued: "Just as Ya Father said, the gains and losses are in the hearts of the people! Those who die in the Six Kingdoms are by no means the strong Qin, but the kings of the Six Kingdoms! It is they who do not know how to love the people, do not believe in the virtuous, and do not build the Great Road, so they cannot resist the Qin army. In the same way, those who died in Qin were not from the world, but the Qin people themselves! It was a faint king like Qin II, and traitors like Zhao Gao who dug their own graves and buried them! If they want to succeed before Liu Bang this time, only the eldest brother will promise not to kill innocents indiscriminately, not to slaughter the city, to ask the Qin people for their guilt, to ask the King of Linzi Qi for their guilt, and to promise the Qin people that they will be kind to them after entering Guanzhong, to comfort the families of the dead Qin army, and to benefit the people of the world, including the Qin people, so that they will definitely be invincible! Hopeless!

Xiang Yu couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, and shouted: "What? Let me bear the guilt of Jing and plead? What a big joke, the world has always been won by force, our Xiang army is brave and invincible, how can a few thousand defenders resist the elite of our Chu army? Come on, Xiang Zhuang made a rebellious remark and dragged me out with a cane and scolded fifty military sticks!"
