Chapter 244: Golden Cicada Leaks Out of Shell

Guangwu, the temporary camp of the Han army.

It has been ten days since the thrilling battle by the Sishui River on November 18, the only reinforcement that Liu Bang, who retreated to Guangwu, received was the eight or nine thousand soldiers led by Xiahou Ying.

However, this reinforcement army brought not hope but despair.

The moment he saw Xiahou Ying, Liu Bang realized the seriousness of the situation. It turned out that Fu Xiaozhei first used the cavalry to attack Hulao Pass. What does the loss of Hulao Pass indicate?

What it indicates is that Liu Bang and his Han army are in desperate situations. The original idea of ​​crossing the Yellow River to join Zhang Erjun is no longer possible if the battle situation is unfavorable.

The atmosphere of despair and helplessness spread throughout the army. Not only the soldiers at the bottom, but also some generals lost confidence in the future. If this situation continues, the army will be defeated on its own without the attack of the Qin army.

In the central army tent.

The Han King Liu Bang hugged two American concubines from the army, and was drunk.

Since there is no way out of life, we should just beat it apart and try to enjoy it first. After being hit hard by the Qin army, even Liu Bang, who has a strong psychological endurance, couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Madam, please wait a moment, I will inform the King of Han now!"

Outside the tent, Lu Wan, who was responsible for protecting the halberd, shouted loudly, "Madam, in the Han camp, only Liu Bang's wife, Lu Zhi, would Lu Wan call her this.

"Lu Wan, no need, I'll go in by myself!" A sharp female voice rang coldly, Lu Zhi and Lu Wan were very familiar with each other, and they no longer had to be called a general.

"Madam, wait a moment. The King of Han worked hard for several days and had just fallen asleep. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to suddenly break in!" Lu Wan, who knew that Liu Bang was "free and happy" in the tent, hurriedly stopped Lu Zhi in front of him, and his voice was anxious.

"Just just went to bed, no, I heard a woman's voice coming from inside!" Lu Zhi sneered, pushed Lu Wan away and stepped in.

Although Lu Wan had close friends with Liu Bang, he could not do anything to Lu Zhi. He could only watch Lu Zhi enter the central army tent.

The scene in the tent made Lu Zhi almost spit out the fire. Two naked young women with snow-white breasts were snuggling in Liu Bang's arms, one left and one right. One woman on the left was stroking Liu Bang's wide chest with a slender hand, and the woman on the right was even more bold, and her small hands actually reached into Liu Bang's lower collar.

"Hmph, the King of Han is really busy with everything. The soldiers outside the tent are fighting bloody battles. You are also fighting fiercely in the tent. It's really a fierce spirit!"

Lu Zhi's ridicule seemed to have no effect in Liu Bang's ears.

People say that marriage has been in the seven-year zone. As time goes by, the initial sweet time passes, conflicts between the two sides will break out. Liu Bang was a romantic and lustful person. When he was in Pei County, he hooked up with Cao's daughter and became a gangster. In addition, Lu Zhi is too strong, so it is very hard to get a wife like this. When you can't achieve success, she will urge her. When you want to be romantic and relax, she will drive her away with a whip behind her back. After a long time, Liu Bang can't stand it.

I am a dignified King of Han, and it is not easy to get a woman. I am not interested in a strong woman like you! Since becoming King of Han, Liu Bang has almost never visited Lu Zhi’s tent again. He occasionally went to see her and looked at her son and daughter.

"You, you are not in the back tent to take care of Ying'er, why are you here to do?" Liu Bang stood up staggeringly, holding the wine bottle in his hand and raising his head to drink the remaining wine in the bottle.

"Abang, look at your appearance? You still look like the King of Han? If Fu Ge was in your situation, he would never be as unreliable as you."

Lu Zhi frowned. Liu Bang's appearance really made her angry. Such a drunkard, who only knows how to be drunk as a pile of mud and sleeping women, how can one deserve a great hero!

It would be fine if Fu Ge and Lu Zhi didn't mention this name, but the anger that was buried in Liu Bang's heart burst out.

"Hmph, stinky bitch, do you think I don't know. Since I was captured by Fu Thief last time, you have been calling Fu Ge and Fu Ge continuously. If you like him, run over. Whoever cares about the things I have played with will go!"

Liu Bang laughed wildly, completely ignoring Lu Zhi's face. It seemed that Lu Zhi was like a maid lying in his arms, without status or identity, just a toy for men.

"You, you shameless hooligan!" Lu Zhi was so angry that her face turned red. She never expected that she could say such shameless words from Liu Bang's mouth.

"Ha, how about I am a hooligan? Who am I afraid of?" Liu Bang laughed wildly. The soldiers entered a desperate situation, and their hopes became increasingly slim, which made him feel desperate. At this time, only women and alcohol could make him numb and painful, and could make him not think about the painful experience of being defeated by Fu Ge in succession.

"Report to the King of Han, is there someone coming to Xingyang?"

A shout temporarily alleviated the conflict between Liu Bang and Lu Zhi, and the person who called out Cao Shen, behind him, a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary people followed.

"Cao Shen, how is the situation in Xingyang?" Liu Bang's drunkenness was aroused by Lu Zhi's arousal. He waved his hand to drink the two concubines back, and asked again as the King of Han.

"King of Han, I am Zhou Chang. Do you don't recognize me anymore?" Hearing Liu Bang's question, the middle-aged man walked several steps, stepped forward and knelt in front of Liu Bang and cried.

Zhou Chang was also a Pei County. He was originally a soldier in Sishui. Later, he raised an army with his cousin Zhou Ji. It can be said that he was also the old brother when Liu Bang started his family. He has always been a deputy general under Zhou Bo's command.

"Zhou Chang, why are you here? What is the situation in Xingyang City? Tell me in detail?" Liu Bang asked anxiously.

"King of Han, Xingyang is in danger. From the 17th, Qin Gou has been besieging the city for nearly thirteen days. The food and fodder in the city have been issued. General Zhou Bo had to order the killing of war horses to satisfy the hunger. Later, there was no horse anymore, so he had to kill the women, children and soldiers in the city to relieve the hunger of the soldiers. If this continues, the soldiers in the city will have to die. King Han, send troops to save them!"

Zhou Chang was originally quite tall, but now he hasn't seen him for more than a month. He has become so thin that even Liu Bang can hardly recognize him. From this, you can imagine what would happen in Xingyang City?

Reinforcements!

I still want to ask for rescue here? Faced with Zhou Chang's crying, Liu Bang could only smile helplessly.

Fu Xiaozi, I didn’t expect you to be so cruel and didn’t even give me a chance to survive. Well, since that’s the case, I, Liu Bang, will fight you!

"Come here, I'll order the entire army to fight against Qin Dog!" Liu Bang shouted loudly.

"King of Han, this is absolutely not allowed, it is absolutely not allowed. As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains there, you are not afraid of burning firewood. As long as there is a slight chance, we must not give up!"

Xiao He, who was rushing to come, heard Liu Bang's order and quickly advised him.

Liu Bang smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister, do we still have a chance? This Hulao Pass was taken away by Qin Gou, and Xingyang was in danger again. We were trapped in Guangwu. We were about to lose food. Maybe in a few days, these soldiers would abandon us and run to Qin Gou. Do we really have to sit and wait for death?"

"King of Han, it is natural that there is no possibility for the large army to break through, but we can disguise ourselves as ordinary people and escape from the edge of the unmanned forest east of Guangwu. As long as we can escape from the Qin people's encirclement and keep it, there will always be soldiers in this army. The land of Guandong is so big and there are so many princes, and the Qin people will not be able to win and be unbeaten. As long as we can avoid this limelight, we will have a chance to rise again."

Xiao He is worthy of being the most outstanding talent around Liu Bang. In just a moment, he obtained a way to break through from Zhou Chang. Although he had a great chance of being arrested by the Qin army by this method, it was better than defending here and annihilation.

"The Prime Minister said that he would disguise himself as a disguise and break through. OK, there is no way to do this, but even if the Qin Gou encirclement is prominent, where can we go!"

The hopeful light flashed in Liu Bang's eyes. Although his heart was filled with despair just now, at this moment, he learned from Xiao He that he had the opportunity to break through the circumference and became energetic again.

"If the King of Han can escape the trouble, please definitely surrender to Pengcheng. Now, only the overlord Xiang Yu can compete with the Qin people, and only he can lead the princes to reappear the feat of Julu!" Xiao He said with emotion, and his hunchbacked body also seemed taller because of these inspiring words.

"The Prime Minister's words are very good. I have recorded it. Although Xiang Yu is brave and arrogant, he still has a way to deal with it. Unlike this little thief Fu, there is no loophole at all! If he can break out this time, I, Liu Bang, will never forget this kindness! If he can achieve great achievements in the future, the Prime Minister will be the prime minister of our Han Kingdom!" Liu Bang held Xiao He's hand and said excitedly.

At this time, what else could Liu Bang do besides making these empty promises? Although this promise has no substantial benefits, it can at least make Xiao He feel his trust and gratitude.

Xiao He paused and said, "The King of Han has this intention, Xiao He must have tried his best to repay the favor of his encounter! In order to make this plan to break through the siege successfully, we also need to recruit a person who looks like the King of Han to pretend to guard here to attract the attention of the Qin people. All the generals are here, and they all think about who can stop this important task!"
