By the Zhengguo Canal.

A piece of grass fell down, and in the open space, more than a thousand selected dead soldiers were standing here quietly, undergoing the final inspection before setting off for the expedition.

This is already the forefront of the battle between the two armies. Han Xin is reining in his horse, wearing a flat and simple hat on his head, and wearing black soft armor. His solemn expression is something that even those who know Han Xin cannot recognize for a while.

Come out. Next to Han Xin, Han Si looked nervously at the unfamiliar army not far away. This was an army wearing red cloth jackets and red scarves, and red is the opposite.

The color of the emblem in the Chu army of Qin.

There is no need to even change their clothes. This group of dead soldiers commanded by Han Xin is about to embark on an unknown journey of death.

There was no cheering farewell, no lively scene.

The western border of Guanzhong was originally a strange and unfamiliar place to these Chu soldiers, but now, they have to fight to defend it.

No.

It is not to protect this place, but to let the brothers of the compatriots survive and let the family blood continue. At the same time, it is also to fight for myself again. Just as the captain surnamed Han said, if God opens his eyes

If you make great achievements this time, you will be able to become a legitimate Qin army.

"Soldiers and brothers, some of you may know me, and that's right. I am Han Xin, the former Chu Army Lang. Now, let me tell you, what is the mission this time? We are going to do it in the next fifteen days.

Li, go all the way east, go deep into the back of the Han army, attack every Han army baggage troop that can be found, and behead every Han army general that can be chopped off. Are you afraid?" Han Xin's voice was low,

His eyes were cold, with a cold aura.

Some of these prisoners and dead soldiers did know Han Xin. Of course, the definition of this acquaintance was that they only met two or three times, and it was impossible to have a deeper relationship. Han Xin was once something they talked about and laughed at in their free time.

The target, and now, they suddenly discovered that the one who was really being mocked was not Han Xin, but themselves.

The rapid breathing of more than a thousand dead soldiers came and became heavier and heavier. No one responded to Han Xin's words. They all tried their best to widen their eyes and open their ears, waiting for Han Xin's next words.

"If you are afraid, you have no way to withdraw. On the journey of death, there are only warriors who die in battle, and there are no cowardly cowards. You can only move forward, not retreat. If you want to escape, think more about being detained in Yong.

"Brothers of Qi, think about this thousands of miles away from Guanzhong. Where can you, a Chu man, go?" Han Xin said with a merciless sneer, each word like a sword piercing the deepest part of the hearts of these dead soldiers.

"Captain Han, if we come back alive, can you let us and our families go freely?" a bearded man with disheveled hair asked in a buzzing voice.

Han Xin glanced at the man, suddenly laughed, and said: "Zheng Da, you are still alive. I thought you died in the rebellion a long time ago. Why, you still want to go back alive?"

This Zheng Da was once a former scout of the Long Qie Chu Army, and Han Xin knew him. When they were discussing matters in Long Qie, as an inconspicuous junior officer, Han Xin and Zheng Da stood side by side.

They also chatted a few words with each other, and of course, they were all meaningful greetings.

"My sixty-year-old mother is still alive at home. If all three of my brothers cannot be brought home this time, my mother may die soon!" Zheng Da lowered his head and his shoulders twitched. This time the Chu army was defeated, and he was not the only one who was captured.

There was also the second brother and the third brother. The three brothers went on the expedition together. If all of them lost their lives, this blow would be like the sky falling for a sixty-year-old man.

"If you have made great achievements, you can come back——!" Han Xin took a deep breath, glanced at a pair of hopeful eyes, and then loudly agreed.

This time, it is a mission of a narrow escape. Even if you are lucky enough to go back after completing the mission, there will not be many such lucky people. Even if you let a few go back, it will not affect anything. Han Xin believes that with Li Yuan's cleverness, it will not affect anything.

I can't look past these little things.

"promise!"

"No! Thank you, Captain!" Many prisoners shouted in unison, many with tears in their eyes. They were looking forward to the reunion scene after the victory. After being away from home for so long, these soldiers who were brave enough to die were homesick.

.

As a native of Chu, Han Xin had a good grasp of the psychology of these captured soldiers of the Chu army. It was impossible to make these captured soldiers willingly work for the Qin army, and empty promises such as promotion and wealth were of no use to them.

Even for the captives who had seen Xianyang's wealth, it was not attractive.

At this time, the only thing that can make these prisoners' hearts beat is blood and family ties, the continuation of the family, and the life and death of the same mother. This bond rooted in the depths of the soul will always be the most fragile point in human nature, as long as it is alive

It is impossible for a person with flesh and blood and thoughts not to be moved, unless you are a completely cold-blooded animal.

——.

Han Xin was planning for the upcoming invasion of the Han army. In Wugong County, the vanguard of the Han army, under the command of General Guan Ying, began to cross the Wei River and attack in the direction of Fufeng.

After Fan Kuai's death, Guan Ying gradually gained Liu Bang's attention. Guan Ying did his part in choosing the vanguard of the charge trap. This time he attacked Yongqi, Liu Bang was also very cautious. After much thinking, he finally decided to let Zeng and

Li Yuan appointed Guan Ying, who had previous combat experience, as the vanguard.

From a small cloth vendor to the most powerful general under the command of the King of Han.

Guan Ying is in high spirits.

In the Han army system where many old brothers from Peixian County were in power, a cloth vendor who joined later could quickly stand out. There was an element of luck in this, but more of it was Guan Ying's hard work.

The road is empty.

In the winter, there are no people around, and even the barking of wild dogs cannot be heard.

"Marquis Guan, the scouts searched for dozens of miles and found no trace of the enemy or any Qin people's cottages!" A scout came back panting from the front on a flying horse.

Guan Ying's 5,000 Han army vanguards have been marching rapidly in Wugong County for more than half a day. Along the way, there is almost no smoke from farmhouses, let alone people. The people in this area have already fled after many wars.

After arriving in Yongqi, all that was left behind were ruins and ruins.

"The people of Qin want us to march hungry without food or drink. At this moment, they underestimate our Han army. Come, order the rear army to pack up the heavy troops and cross the river quickly.

Burying a pot to make rice——!" Guan Ying snorted coldly and ordered loudly.

The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

This time, under Zhang Liang's planning, the Han army accumulated enough grain at Lantian Pass to consume an army of 20,000 men for a month. With these supplies, Guan Ying no longer had to wander around and loot as before.

The Han army has gradually transformed from a rogue army into a regular army. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also constantly improving, and the abilities of many generals have begun to show their potential for development with the accumulation of battles.
