Qu Yu.

Fifty miles east of the Yellow River, an army marched swiftly in the night with its flags hoisted, and the sound of neat footsteps could be heard very clearly in the dark wilderness.

The vanguard of the Western Expedition, the number one general under Liu Bang, the butcher Fan Kuai led 600 elite soldiers and swooped towards the beam two hundred miles away. Behind Fan Kuai was Li Shang, Cao Shen's advance guard.

Troops, they were half a day away from Fan Kuai's schedule. Behind them, Liu Bang personally led an army of 20,000, together with various princes as backup, and came towards the empty and weak Sanchuan County to kill the generals.

Xingyang.

The new governor Yang Xiong summoned all the generals to discuss strategies against the enemy regarding the Waihuang Incident and the Chu Army's Western Expedition. Above the hall, Yang Xiong was in the middle. On the upper right sat the censor Wang Ming, and on the left was Zongzheng Chen Di. Further back

, County Lieutenant Zhao Bi sat next to Wang Ming, and below him were a group of mid-level officers such as Captains and Marquises.

As the name suggests, Yang Xiong is tall and thick. At first glance, he looks like a reckless man who believes in force and doesn't like to use his brain. In this important military meeting, just looking at the level of the participants, it is clear that there is an internal fight for the right to speak in Xingyang.

, Yang Xiong fell behind. Wang Ming

, Zhao Ben suppressed and persecuted Li officials by thoroughly investigating Li You's collaboration with the enemy. Faced with the unfavorable situation, Yang Xiong realized it later and failed to take effective countermeasures. Under such a situation, the military conference took the initiative

The power is no longer in Yang Xiong's hands.

"Young Commander Yang, the chief of a pavilion in Peixian County, Liu Tui District, dared to call himself Lord Wu'an and pluck out the beard of the tiger of the Qin Dynasty. You really don't know whether to live or die. In the battle of Dingtao, the general led his army to kill Xiang Liang. How can we be content with others?

I should fight bravely to kill the Liu thief in order to repay the trust of the Emperor and the Prime Minister." Wang Ming slightly narrowed his slender eyes, stroking his beard and shaking his head as he said.

"The discussions in the army are related to the life and death of the army. Please be careful when speaking." Yang Xiong frowned and glared at Wang Ming dissatisfied. In fact, Wang Ming, a purely military meeting, did not participate in this purely military meeting.

necessary, but under Zhao Ben’s instigation

Under the envoy, Wang Ming came uninvited in a very high-profile manner, saying that he was attending the meeting to learn more about it. Wang Ming's official position was much higher than Yang Xiong's, and the censor couldn't offend him. The result was good. Wang Ming was aggressive from the beginning.

, expressed his opinion.

"Chief Commander, what Wang Yushi said is true. We have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xingyang. Mr. Yang is brave and fierce, and his soldiers are well-trained. If he is captured by a group of mobs, it will make people laugh. If the Sheriff has an order, Zhao

Someone from the headquarters

Let's go out of the city to find the enemy and fight to boost the power of our Qin army." Zhao Ben stabbed darkly, Wang Ming was in front to attract Yang Xiong's firepower, and then Zhao Ben came to provoke the general. This two-pronged approach, Zhao Ben did not believe that Yang Xiong could

Can bear it.

"Master Zhao, I am here as the county guard, what do you mean by this?" Yang Xiong was furious and stared at Zhao Ben with red eyes and asked.

"Two generals, please calm down. There is no room for internal strife with this powerful enemy. If the traitors are allowed to take advantage of this opportunity, then the emperor will convict us and we will die!" Zong Zheng and Chen Di advised.

Chen Di was an official in charge of sacrifices, etiquette and other pragmatic work in the DPRK. He never participated in the factional fights in the DPRK. There were many officials like him who chose to protect themselves wisely in the DPRK. Zhao Gao mainly used to intimidate and win over these officials.

Lord, after all, he cannot turn all officials into his own faction.

During this trip to Xingyang, Chen Di hardly said a word when it came to investigating Li Youzhi, letting Wang Ming jump up and down. Chen Di stayed away from the local forces in Xingyang. After all, he only wanted to go to Xingyang.

He only stayed for a while, Xianyang was his foundation. If Zhao Gao knew that he had any inappropriate words or deeds, Chen Di's life would be difficult.

"Chief Yang, Xingyang's life or death depends on your words, please give the order!" Zhao Bi spoke righteously, with an impassioned look on his face, which made many officers look at him with trust. The Qin army was known for its bravery, and the army

The lieutenant general's concept of respecting the strong is deeply ingrained, Zhao Ben's judgment of the situation is very accurate, and Yang Xiong is now forced into a desperate situation.

"General, please give me the order. We are willing to lead the troops into battle and kill the enemy with meritorious deeds!"

"Our army is elite, so why fear the mere thieves!"

The generals of the Qin army were very excited and asked for troops to go to war. For Liu Bang, who was not a popular man, and Xiang Yu, who was not a strong general, these officers all showed great confidence.

"Generals, quickly gather your troops and go out with me. Zhao Bi, you will stay in Xingyang as a backup." Yang Xiong snorted with a dark face and strode out of the hall without waiting for anyone to respond.

"Your Majesty, General!" Zhao Ben responded loudly, smiling knowingly at Wang Ben, with a proud look on his face.

Yang Xiong fell into the trap!

Facing Liu Bang, regardless of whether Yang Xiong wins or loses, Xingyang is no longer named Yang. Yang Xiong wins. That is his duty as the governor of Sanchuan County. Zhao Bi also has a share of the credit, and the hard work of pursuing the victory makes him

Yang Xiong couldn't escape; if Yang Xiong was defeated, it would be a good idea to stay with the dead ghost Li You early, so that Zhao Ben would not have to worry about trying to move him away.

In addition, Gu Yunniang's little girl no longer has Yang Xiong as her backer. Zhao Ben can imagine that his chance will come. When the time comes, will the overlord forcefully take advantage of the situation, or will he gently induce her step by step? Zhao Ben thought about it with a feeling in his heart.

fiery.

——.

Not to mention Yang Xiong's angrily leading troops to fight with Liu Bang, at the county magistrate's residence in Daliang, a military meeting of Li Yuan's army was also being held. With his foresight of history, Li Yuan already understood after the Dingtao war ended

, his temporary good days are over.

During Liu Bang's western expedition, Daliang happened to be in front of him. In addition, he had an unclear encounter with Liu Bang a few months ago, killing Ji Xin and defeating Peng Yue. This made Liu Bang disgraced. Li Yuan was convinced that the gentle elder

The image of Liu Bang would not be so generous. Liu Bang must be waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Li Yuan looked solemn, Wang Shang, Gan Houbo, Zhou Xing, He Ping, Hu Zhuang and others were silent, just staring at the map in silk book in front of the stall. These days, despite intensive training,

They have learned the basic method of reading pictures, but asking these people to come up with ways to deal with Liu Bang is really overestimating them.

"When the Chu army invades, what do you think?" After a while, Li Yuan stood up and glanced at Wang Shang and others who were silent.

Hearing Li Yuan's question, Wang Shang and other generals immediately wilted like eggplants beaten by frost. They all stood around in silence. Although they were mediocre in appearance, they also thought of a clever plan to defeat the powerful enemy. Unfortunately,

, I searched for the ink in my stomach for a long time, but I couldn't find any wonderful ideas.

"When soldiers come to block it, when water comes and the soil floods, our army must defend the city first and wait until the enemy is weak to retreat!" He Ping felt Li Yuan's encouraging eyes and mustered up the courage to be the first to stand up and said.

"It is not appropriate to defend the city. We have few troops. If we are trapped in the city, we are not far from death!" Zhou Xing swallowed his saliva and said with a bitter face. A few months ago, the tragic situation of Yongqiu City being besieged

I still remember that in a situation where there is a huge disparity in military strength, clinging to the city is almost equivalent to committing suicide.

"Actually, according to my subordinates, it is a feasible option for us to avoid the enemy's edge and retreat to Xingyang. At least, there are tens of thousands of troops in Xingyang. It may not be possible to fight in the field, but it is possible to defend the city. However, if the enemy underestimates the enemy, maybe

We can fight for a while and then retreat." Wang Shang stared at

I studied the map for a long time. Wang Shangxingliu, who had always been called Wang Laoliu in the army, and now became a military commander, felt that Lao Liu's name was too uncouth, so he invited the most literate person he knew.

Hou Xi Hou Sima had a meal and officially changed his name to Shang.
