The autumn wind rustles.

On the Chi Road from Xianyang to Fufeng, an army wearing red cloth jackets and red scarves tied around their necks was marching quickly. This was the 40,000-strong Western Expedition Central Army led by Chu General Long Qie.

Long Qie, the general of the Chu army, was riding high on a tall black horse. Beside him, Lu Matong, Yang Xi and other generals of the Chu army were urging Long Qie on. All of them had smiles on their faces. Only the one

Han Xin, the doctor who was last, looked dull and lost his mind.

"King Qin, this time we are sending troops to attack Li Yuan's son. Our army has dispatched more than 40,000 troops. Including King Yong and King Zhai's second division, don't you think too highly of Li Thief?" Beside Long Qie, the cavalry commander Du Wei

Lu Matong looked puzzled and was asking Long Qie for advice.

Long Qie's eyes were sharp, murderous in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Li Yuan, from a young age, fought in Daliang in the first battle and killed Fan Kuai; in the second battle of White Horse, he defeated the enemy's formation; in the third battle of Xingyang, he defended the city alone; in the fourth battle of Xianyang

, attacked and captured the capital of Qin, do you think this is a fluke, or is it something else?"

"This - maybe it's just a moment of luck for Thief Li? How can he be the opponent of King Qin?" Yang Xi rode his horse beside him and said flatteringly.

Lu Matong and Yang Xi were both Xiang Yu's personal cavalry generals. This time they were sent to Long Qie's side, which was equivalent to being sent out. However, they both knew Long Qie's status in front of Xiang Yu, and they did not dare to express any disrespect in their words.

disrespectful.

There was a hint of amusement in Long Qie's blood-red eyes, and he said solemnly: "Thief Li has defeated the King of Han many times. He is no ordinary person. Don't be careless. If you make any mistakes in your duties, don't blame Long."

.”

"I will obey the order of King Qin!" Lu Matong and Yang Xi nodded quickly and replied.

"Also, don't call me King of Qin anymore. From now on, I will be called General. In this life, I, Long Qi, only want to be a sharp blade in the hands of the overlord. I will not do anything nonsense like King Qin——!" Long Qie glanced at the generals with a stern look, and finally turned his gaze.

It stayed on Han Xin, which made Lu Matong and Yang Xi feel jealous.

"No!" All the generals were in awe for a moment.

"Do you think so, Mr. Han?" Long Qie stared at Han Xin closely and asked. Long Qie's answer just now was actually the opinion Han Xin put forward to Long Qie before sending troops. At that time, Long Qie actually disagreed with it.

Now, Lu Matong and others were arrogant, and Long Qie used Han Xin's words to silence Lu Matong and others.

Han Xin lifted the horse's reins and said seriously: "The last general has the same concerns as the general! Although Li Yuan is young, he is resourceful and resourceful. He is an extraordinary person and should not be underestimated."

Hearing that Long Qie had adopted his advice, a warm feeling flashed through Han Xin's head. He was so moved that he agreed regardless of what Lu Matong and others thought.

"Mr. Han is so resourceful, I can't wait!" Lu Matong nodded silently and cupped his hands towards Han Xin.

"Haha, these lieutenants and the lieutenants are all young heroes. There is no need to be humble to each other. Let's fight in the future. Let's see my great Chu athletes defeat the Qin thieves, take the head of the thieves Li, and hold the pot ears for the overlord!" Long Jieda!

laugh.

Lu Matong, Yang Xi and Han Xin became suspicious of each other after just a few words. This is what Long Qie wanted. Only when his subordinates are intrigues and disagree with each other can he, the vassal king, sit securely. No matter how close he is,

Generals who are not around will also be suspicious of each other. Xiang Yu sent Lu Matong and Yang Xi to Long Qie, firstly for training, and secondly for surveillance. Long Qie was a rough man but also fine, so for Xiang Yu

The intention is clear.

Han Xin's situation was different from that of Lu Matong and Yang Xi. After the Hongmen Banquet, Fan Zeng, who didn't like Han Xin, found an excuse and sent him to Long Qi. In terms of Machiavellian psychology, Han Xin's feelings were far less than what he had in

With his military understanding, after Long Qie set a trap, he fell into it without any discernment.

——.

The southern foothills of Qishan Mountain and the northern bank of Weishui River.

A large plain formed by river water has nourished the rich pastures here and raised thousands of descendants of the Qin State. However, today, this place has become a battlefield of death.

Long Qie led his army into this plain, but encountered Li Yuan's army who had just left Qishan Pass. Both armies were on the move. After a melee between forward scouts, the two sides set up camp for a long-term confrontation.

After the scouts fought against each other, Li Yuan's army, which lacked the command of Bai Guangji, suffered a small loss. It was chased by Lu Matong and lost the opportunity to occupy a favorable terrain.

As a last resort, Li Yuan set up camp on the side of Qishan Mountain and on the back of the Wei River. This location was known as a dead place in terms of military tactics.

On the second day, the Qin and Chu armies opened the battlefield and began to decide the outcome.

A few white clouds in the sky were blown away by the autumn wind. In the camps on both sides, smoke and dust from the cooking process rose. The generals on both sides were preparing for the next battle.

Under Long Qie's command, more than 46,000 Chu troops were all wearing red jackets and red turbans. From a distance, they looked like a fiery red ocean. In front of the two armies, Long Qie, who had an absolute advantage in strength, raised 40,000 troops.

They pressed directly towards the Qin army who was in desperate situation.

"Great Chu is mighty!"

"Great Chu is mighty!"

The excited shouts of the Chu army generals came and went, echoing among the Qishan Mountains. The rapid drumbeats, bright swords and guns, and heavy breathing formed a suffocating battlefield picture.

Long Qie squinted his eyes, and the rising sunlight slanted over him, making him feel a little dazzled. This was a battle he had been waiting for for a long time, and it would also be the battle that established his true status as Long Qie.

After this great victory, Long Qie believed that in the eyes of the princes and Xiang Yu, he would no longer be just a fierce general in the Chu army, but would be the true King of Qin in Guanzhong.

"General, the Qin people are going to war!" Next to him, an exclamation interrupted Long Qie's imagination. It was Yang Xi's voice. This young man was obviously a type who couldn't hold his breath.

"Xilulu——!"

After a while, the fast-horse scouts from the front line came galloping over and loudly reported to Long Qie: "General, the enemy has about 5,000 people. Are you coming out of camp to invite a fight?"

Long Qie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "A mere five thousand soldiers dare to block the front of my Chu army, but they don't know whether to live or die? Which general on the left and right is willing to lead the troops to kill the enemy?"

"The last general is willing to go!" Before Long Jie could finish his words, Yang Xi hurriedly asked for orders. Just before the scouts clashed, Lu Matong took the lead. This time, in front of the two armies, he killed the general and captured the flag, saying

Nothing can be given to others anymore.

"Yang Xi, how about you lead 10,000 elite troops into battle and give you one hour to kill the enemy general?" Long Qie perked up and asked the general.
