Chapter 171 Suspicious
Shen Yang yelled and tried his best.
This move of the fat prince frightened the followers who were still following him. They all swarmed up, covered their mouths, raised their feet, and carried Shen Yang into the house from near the door.
"Your Majesty, if you try your best, you don't have to shout so loudly that the whole street can hear it. If Xiang Zhuang hears this, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" A personal attendant who relied on being able to talk to Shen Yang couldn't help but blame him.
When Shen Yang heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said, "You kid, you are afraid that I will harm you. Okay, hurry up and pack your things and go to Xiang Zhuang to lick the soles of his feet."
Fat people curse.
Abnormally vicious.
The follower, whose intention was just to persuade Shen Yang to restrain his temper, was so angry that his face turned red and white, and finally, after a few good lucks, he retreated angrily.
These days, finding a job is more difficult than anything else. Apart from Shen Yang having no skills and a bit of a vicious mouth, he actually treats the people around him quite well. If we leave here, it would be hard to get these people to go to Xiangzhuang.
May be accepted by Xiang Zhuang.
Servants, loyalty comes first.
Beyond that, ability can only be ranked second.
"Your Majesty, you can talk about desperate matters, but please don't mention them in public again. Xiang Zhuang is a narrow-minded person, and I might be unfavorable to your Majesty. In fact, if the Chu army is to suffer misfortune, there are other ways -!
"Zhang Zhonggong said slowly.
Chen Ping's father-in-law usually speaks slowly and has a kind-hearted appearance, which makes it easy for him to feel close to him. In the past, Zhang Zhong didn't have the opportunity to use his skills because no one came up with ideas. Now, with Chen Ping's
In terms of strategy and command, Zhang Zhong seemed to have discovered a special talent, and he appeared extremely capable on the battle line.
"What can I do? Please tell me quickly?" Shen Yang asked urgently.
Seek medical treatment in an emergency.
At this time, Shen Yang was like an ant on a hot pot, searching for a way out but couldn't find a way out. When Meng heard that Zhang Zhonggong had an idea, he immediately jumped in.
"Your Majesty, Xiang Zhuang is young and vigorous, arrogant and extravagant. I heard that he is also a master of swordsmanship. We cannot deal with such a person forcefully, but we must support him and make him feel that in the world, except for the Overlord, there is no one like him.
He is the most powerful, as long as he can sneak around and let Xiang Zhuang and the Qin army fight, our life will be easy." Zhang Zhonggong said.
"Haha, what Zhonggong said is the same as serving someone. The more you look down on someone, the more respectful you have to treat him. Wait until you have the opportunity to settle the accounts with him someday." Shen Yang
Being moved by Zhang Zhonggong's words, I felt a lot more relaxed.
From that day on, Shen Yang's attitude began to change. He went to Xiangzhuang three times a day to greet him. His attitude was extremely good. Even Huan Chu and Xiao Gongjiao had to greet each other several times. This diligent and sincere attitude made
Xiang Zhuang also felt a little embarrassed.
Eat and drink for free.
For someone as shameless as Liu Bang, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. It is best that time gets better and better.
Xiang Zhuang obviously has not mastered this aspect.
This may be related to the inheritance of blood and surname of the Xiang family. The descendants of the Xiang family have always been soft-hearted rather than tough. They believe in fighting to the death for those who dare to confront them, but for those who talk softly and use swords, they
, their vigilance will be reduced to the level of minors.

In the second year of Qin and Xinli, it was the first day of June.
The Qin army unexpectedly marched out of Hangu. The partial general Han Xin led 7,000 Qin troops to Luoyang and put on a siege posture. Xiang Zhuang's performance this time, which was rewarded by the scouts, was shocking.
Who is Han Xin?
Xiang Zhuang knows everything clearly.
This former halberd-wielding man of the Chu army surrendered to Qin after a long period of depression and quickly became the most powerful general in the Qin army.
Han Xin's fortune is enviable.
Among the Chu army, like Han Xin, there were many people who were suppressed and frustrated, such as the two lieutenants under Xiang Zhuang: Xiao Gongjiao and Huan Chu.
Xiang Zhuang, who has always been regarded as a rough and arrogant man who advocates using force to solve problems, unexpectedly did not accept the challenge this time. He only sent troops sent by Shen Yang, Wei Bao and other princes to guard the city wall, while the main force of the Chu army continued to attack Luo.
Set up camp in the water area.
Prince's Mansion.
"Young General, the Qin Army is invading, why don't our troops go out to fight?" The first person to come up and ask a question was Deputy General Xiao Gongjiao. He was eager to make meritorious deeds when he heard that the other party was sending boy scouts and they were old acquaintances from the past.
Han Xin led the army and immediately became excited.
These days, Xiao Gongjiao is very happy to be able to enjoy the palace of Wang Shenyang in Henan and have beautiful little maids serve him. This kind of treatment is something that he, a small captain, cannot enjoy, and if he wants to always have such a
Due to the favorable treatment, he must be promoted to military rank as soon as possible.
"No rush, wait a few days until the overlord's army arrives?" Xiang Zhuang slowly drank the wine presented by Shen Yang and said confidently.
"Young general, but when the overlord comes, how can we have any meritorious service?" Xiao Gongjiao said anxiously. Compared with Xiang Zhuang, who has a background, and Huan Chu, who is still young, he has no advantage in both aspects. If he can't
If he achieves great success in a short period of time, his position as captain will probably be over.
"Haha, Lieutenant Xiao, let's go back to the camp and rest first. If there is any dispatch, I will use you in the first battle." Xiang Zhuang consoled him.
"Well, thank you so much, young general." Xiao Gongjiao turned around and left angrily, but he didn't know that his rating in Xiang Zhuang's heart had dropped several levels.
Xiang Zhuang stood still.
In addition to Xiao Gongjiao, Huan Chu was also anxious.
However, what Huan Chu was worried about was not that his achievements were being snatched away, but that the Chu army's increasingly poor military discipline caused them to suffer a lot of looks from the people in Luoyang City.
Undercurrent surges.
A guest army without the support of the people cannot win. Although Huan Chu is young, he has experienced several battles between Qin and Chu. He has his own ideas about the outcome of the war.
"Young General, we are facing a formidable enemy. We should negotiate more with the King of Henan and avoid hurting each other's harmony." After hearing that another Chu soldier was bullying the people of Luoyang, Huan Chu ran to Xiangzhuang and admonished him.
"Haha, Colonel Huan, doesn't Shen Yang come to report three times a day? Why don't I negotiate less? I am the first to tell him if there is anything." Xiang Zhuang laughed and said.
From Xiang Zhuang's point of view, this fat man Shen Yang was obviously someone who didn't know how powerful he was without beating him. The momentum of the Chu army these days finally scared this cheap prince king who had never fought a battle before.
"Young General, if the Qin army invades, our army will lose all support and it will be difficult to defend the city!" Huan Chu urged.
"What is the will of the people? Is it possible that this group of cowardly fools can still rebel? Don't worry, if Qin Gou doesn't come to attack, then I, Xiangzhuang, will be resting in Luoyang. If he dares to attack, Erlang
Please help me sharpen their knives faster, and then I can carry a few more Qin dog heads." Xiang Zhuang's expression condensed and he said sternly.
"General, please obey the order and leave!" Seeing that Xiang Zhuang did not listen to the advice, Huan Chu had no choice but to leave sadly. All he could do now was to restrain his soldiers and not participate in the incident that disturbed the people of Luoyang.
Looking at Huan Chu's leaving figure, Xiang Zhuang's eyes were full of sternness.
Xiao Gongjiao and Huan Chu didn't know that Xiang Zhuang didn't want to fight now, but couldn't fight.
Before setting off for the expedition, his father Fan Zeng gave Xiang Zhuang an important task: to identify the positions of the two lieutenants Xiao Gongjiao and Huan Chu. If the two had not yet taken sides, he would try to win them over. If they had already made up their minds, then
Just wait for the opportunity to suppress them and don't give them the chance to make meritorious deeds.
Xiang Zhuang was somewhat dissatisfied with Fan Zeng's instructions, but he felt that there seemed to be some truth to them.
After Xiang Yu's enfeoffment, the generals of the Chu army who had not been crowned kings were in a state of disintegration. Generals such as Zhong Limei and Ji Bu formed their own group. Except for Xiang Yu who could command them, they were basically unable to obey other generals' orders.
This made Xiang Zhuang, who had been trying to surpass Long Qie and become the number one general of the Chu army, secretly unhappy.
——.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Zhuang couldn't get out.
Han Xin, who was attacking the enemy outside the city, was also a little off guard. He thought that Xiang Zhuang would definitely come out of the city to fight. He could predict Xiang Zhuang's spleen, but he could not predict the power struggle within the Chu army after Long Qie was killed.
situation.
"The time is approaching, how can we make Xiang Zhuang angry and go to war?" Han Xin frowned.
Winning or losing on the battlefield is all about a battle of wits and courage. If you can't figure out what Xiang Zhuang is thinking, it will be almost impossible for your plan to lure the enemy to succeed this time.
"General, a secret message from the city!" The scout who delivered the message hurriedly entered the tent and stepped forward to report.
Han Xin opened it and looked at it, and it was a secret letter sent by Zhang Zhong. The letter stated that the granary of Wang Shenyang of Henan was in Luocang, west of Luoyang City. The guards here had been depleted and the defense was empty.
"Quickly report to Zhang Weng that at midnight tonight, I will raise a fire as a signal and I will lead the army into the city from the west gate." Han Xin clenched his fists and finally made up his mind.
The information sent by Zhang Zhong is very important.
If the Qin army could burn the Chu army's food and supplies in one fell swoop during a night attack, Xiang Zhuang would not be able to do it even if he tried to do it again. With Xiang Zhuang's temper, Han Xin didn't think he could endure it.
June 2nd.
Late at night, the guards on the Luoyang City were leaning on their bodies, their heads gradually rising. Strong sleepiness swept over them, causing these soldiers who had not experienced much experience to doze off one after another.
"There are so many people in this city. If I am lazy, I guess it won't have any impact?" More than one soldier was lucky in his heart, but more importantly, they were suffering at the top of the city. The Chu army in the city
But they were fast asleep. Such unfair treatment made these newly recruited soldiers completely lose the idea of patrolling frequently.
"When we arrive at the city gate in a while, some of you will light the fire and raise the trumpet, and the others will follow me to open the city gate." Zhang Zhong, who was wearing a rare armor suit and holding a sharp sword in his hand, said to the more than 20 people under his hand.
Zhang Zhong held the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops in his hand. Shen Yang had a wide heart and a fat body. He had already rested early. Without warning, he now trusted Zhang Zhong. He also placed such important things as the tiger talisman at will.
On the case table, this is a bargain, so Zhang Zhong doesn't need to think too much.
For the Qin interoperability team that stood firm in Luoyang City, this was a life-and-death battle and a critical battle that tested their abilities.
