Chapter 178: Fighting endlessly

The war drums are blowing, and the long-lost opponents meet again!

One side should continue to work hard, and the other side should avenge a sword. In addition to being brave, there is also wisdom in such a competition.

"Report to King Han, the vanguard of the Qin army, Chen Wu's headquarters, has arrived at the Dingjun Mountain Pass! There are about 3,000 people." The soldiers who reported the news shouted loudly, sweating profusely and panting.

"Hmph, Qin Gou is really too bullying. He actually used Chen Wu as a surrendered general as a vanguard. Isn't this clearly humiliating our army?" Zhou Bo said angrily. Since the battle at Yangping Pass, Chen Wu's name has become the person that all Han army generals hate the most, just like his. Even some generals who had a good relationship with Chen Wu, they also began to greet Chen Wu's matriarchal ancestors.

"King of Han, Chen Wu is brave but not wise, and is eager to seek credit for the new master. We can use this weakness of his to lure the enemy into the depths, gather and annihilate it!" Lu Wan advised.

Since losing Zhang Liang, Liu Bang was forced to listen to the opinions of his subordinates such as Lu Wan, Xiao He, Lu Jia, Zhou Bo, etc., and then discuss a plan that most people think is feasible. This method has some ancient forms of democratic centralism. If only the government affairs of the local government are discussed, such a mechanism is a good choice, because it can combine the opinions of all parties and reflect the views of the majority to the greatest extent. However, if military decisions are also made in this way, it will inevitably make the mistake of delaying the fighter jet.

Military decisions often reflect the predictive ability of a general. At this point, "arbitrary behavior" is more in line with the laws of battlefield combat than democratic centralism. It is precisely because of this level that Fu Ge, who is well aware of the pros and cons of military combat, repeatedly lets the generals on the frontline make decisions.

This is true for Peng Yue and Han Xin. It is precisely under this relaxed and trusting mechanism that the military talents of Peng Yue and Han Xin have been maximized.

"Although King of Han and Chen Wu have little plans, Fu Ge and Han Xin are all extremely cunning people. The main task of our army is to defend Dingjun Mountain. Therefore, we must not go out lightly to avoid falling into the Qin army's treacherous plan!" Faced with the general who was eager to fight, Xiao He, who knew that Fu Ge was difficult to deal with, hurriedly advised him.

"King of Han, Prime Minister Xiao's words are reasonable. Our army has been defeated by Yangping Pass and morale has been hit. Now we should be the best at defending the key pass!" There are also many strategists who are accompanied by Xiao He's suggestions. Cao Shen also put forward a similar view after Xiao He.

"Hmph, Qin Gou came from afar, tired and tired for days, and even went deep into the battlefield. This is a plan! The two of us are willing to lead three thousand elite soldiers to attack them, and we will be defeated if we are right!"

"King of Han, let's fight. It is precisely because of the low morale in the army that we have to ask for orders to fight. If Chen Wu can be killed, it can one blow up Qin Gou's spirit, and two, it can also enhance the confidence of the soldiers."

The voice of the pro-war faction was not weakened by the opposition of the strategists. This time, the doctor Guan Ying and the right cavalry general Fu Kuan were asked to do so. The two young generals who were ill in the battle of Lantian Pass both had a shadow in their hearts. They obviously hoped to regain their confidence in victory through this battle.

"The two generals said it well. The doctor Guan Ying and the right cavalry general Fu Kuan obeyed the order. I ordered you to lead 3,000 elite troops to fight Qin Gou. This battle is related to the life and death of our army. I hope the two generals will support each other and fight to kill the enemy. I will wait for your good news on the mountain." Liu Bang stood up, took off the cloak that was draped on his body, pulled out the sword from his waist, and handed it to Guan Ying and Fu Kuan's hands. In the public eye, he was treated so well by Liu Bang. Guan Ying and Fu Kuan were all moved by red eyes.

"Don't worry, King Han, I will never return to the army if I don't take Chen Wu's head!" Guan Ying and Fu Kuan said loudly, while rushing outside the camp.

Dingjun Mountain Pass.

Chen Wu, the vanguard of the Qin army, was full of energy. The victory of the battle at Yangping Pass made him, the surrendered general who had just been surrendered to Qin, received praise and appreciation from Prime Minister Fu Ge and General Han Xin. He was promoted to the lieutenant and had a third-level military title. This made him suddenly rise to the same position as Li Yao and Li Lie and other rising stars. Although he was still far behind the veteran Li Shang and Shejian generals, the battle had just begun, and Chen Wu was confident that he would make greater contributions in the next battle.

"General, our front of us encountered a small enemy unit. Will we pursue and defeat the enemy?"

"It's more important to say-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"General, should you wait for General Li Jie to arrive before chasing him, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap by chance!"

The young Li Jian lost for a while in the competition for who is the vanguard. This is not to say that Han Xin favors one and respects surrendered generals like Chen Wu, but considering the actual talents of each person, Chen Wu is indeed stronger than Li Jian's ability to attack. If it is replaced by a defensive pass, Li Jian is naturally a more suitable candidate.

In many cases, competitions and competitions between generals are beneficial to improving the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops. Without the soil for competition, the soldiers will feel proud and complacent, which is a taboo for military strategists. However, things often have two sides. Appropriate competition can indeed drive the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army. However, once the competition loses control or the general who leads the army blinds the competition, the danger will come.

"kill!"

The Qin army pioneers, who were eager to win, chased them all the way. Chen Wu was able to tell from the Han army that the general against the enemy was Guan Ying, which made him even more excited. Guan Ying was a confidant general around Liu Bang. According to his past habits, Guan Ying would not leave Liu Bang easily. So Liu Bang is likely to be in front. If he could catch the big fish of Liu Bang, the great "credit" that day would be shared by himself.

At this time, the Qin soldiers did not notice that on their right wing, a Han army lurking in the dense forest of the mountain road was staring at them for a moment.

West Mountain.

Like Dingjun Mountain, it is located on the edge of Mianshui. However, its location is not close to the post road, but is located behind Dingjun Mountain. Just by height, the western mountain is even higher than Dingjun Mountain. For the Qin army rushing far away, the time cannot be changed, and the harmony of people is not something that can be changed overnight. Only the right place can be changed.

Therefore, the Qin army camp was divided into two places, one near the Mianshui Valley, and the other was located in the West Mountain. The purpose of Fu Ge and Han Xin doing this is very obvious, that is, to command high. Since the Han army can threaten the passing Qin army from a high place in Dingjun Mountain, it is better to just take the West Mountain, which is higher than Dingjun Mountain, so that the Han army will lose its advantage in geographical advantages.

"Ship Fu, the location of the Xishan Mountain is remote and inconspicuous. It is not marked on the map we have mastered. Where did you know where this place is?"

Han Xin, who has always been very arrogant about his military talents, was also secretly impressed by Fu Ge's military "prophecy". Over the past few days, after he had performed well in leading troops, Han Xin's self-confidence has also increased day by day. However, he still felt that he had lost a little inexplicably in the defeat in Xia Yang.

Not convinced—— It is difficult for a proud and arrogant general like Han Xin to truly admire another person in military command. Even if this person captures him, the same will be true for this person to be the immediate boss.

However, this time Han Xin was completely convinced.

What he didn't expect, Fu Ge thought of it. This is the difference in ability. Whether you admit it or not, the facts will be clearly presented to you.

"Oh, I have only occasionally read this Western Mountain in classics, saying that there is gold and copper produced in Shanyin, so I learned about it. As for the idea of ​​high command, I think the general can predict it." Fu Ge replied vaguely. The secrets of the "Shistorical Book" are really hard to say, and even if this story is told, Han Xin would not believe that there are such "strange things".

Just as the two were answering each other, a Qin army sent a message to the soldiers to report: "Supervisor Fu, General, General Chen Wu came to report, a small group of Han army went down the mountain to challenge, he had led the vanguard troops to defeat the coming enemy and seize the Dingjun mountain pass!"

"Where is General Chen Wu now?" Han Xin's face changed and he asked anxiously when he heard the news of this small victory.

"General Chen has led the vanguard troops to pursue the defeated soldiers." The soldier replied in confusion. With his understanding, he naturally did not realize the danger of Chen Wu's pursuit.

"This is the Han army's seduction trick. Hurry up. I'll send Chen Wu back. No, let Li Jie lead a team of troops to pick up Chen Wu!" This time, Fu Ge was the first to issue this series of orders. The reason why he reacted earlier than Han Xin was not because he had more predictive ability than Han Xin, but because Fu Ge clearly remembered in his memory that before the battle of Dingjun Mountain, two veterans Huang Zhong and Yan Yan used this trick to kill Cao's general Xiahou De and seize Tiandang Mountain.

Everyone will think of the strategy, not to mention that Liu Bang has many counselors and generals under his command, and it is not surprising that Liu Bang can think of the strategy that Huang Zhong can think of. And if Chen Wu, the vanguard, was defeated, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to the morale of the Qin army.

"Ship Fu, we will also lead the army to pick us up!" Han Xin, who also realized the danger of Chen Wu, said in a deep voice.
