Chapter 274: Each Scheming

The war is about to break out.

With Zhang Er's destruction and Julu City was captured by the Qin army, the progress of the second battle between Qin and Chu was increasingly reversing in an unknown direction. Whether it was Xiang Yu or Fu Ge, they could no longer be aware of the subsequent changes.

On the north bank of the Zhang River, the 50,000 Qin troops commanded by Han Xin showed strong combat power under Julu City. Similarly, on the south bank of the Zhang River, as the main formation of the 70,000 Qin troops approached step by step, the situation became more and more urgent.

There were about 50,000 Chu troops left in the Chu camp in the south bank. The head general was Fu Ge's old opponent Ying Bu. After losing Zhonglimei, the general and 20,000 elite troops, in order to consolidate the defense of the Chu camp, Xiang Yu pulled out 20,000 Chu troops headed by Xiang Zhuang to supplement the Ying Bu army. In this way, the Chu army's military front was not only not weakened, but also became more brave.

The Qin army had a strong fighting spirit. As the chief general of the Chu army, Ying Bu's heart was also burning with the flames of revenge. The fall of Zhonglimei's troops in the Battle of Anyang made Ying Bu feel the blame and pressure from Xiang Yu. The residency of Xiang Zhuang and his unit was not so much as surveillance of their own movements.

Ying Bu understood that if he did not perform well in the next battle or was defeated again, Xiang Zhuang might take his place at any time, and his subordinates would be attracted by the Xiang family, who had long been inclined to annex.

On the banks of Zhang River.

The Chu army was in charge of the tent, and the atmosphere before the fierce battle was already quite tense. Faced with the forced force of the Qin army from the second route, the Chu army's heroic general Ying Bu summoned a group of left-behind generals to discuss the matter.

Through the faint cotton curtain, Yingbu's body was thin and slender, standing with a long body, and his shadow was projected on the curtain, showing an absolutely different murderous aura.

The reputation of killing Wang Yingbu was not easily obtained, especially at the time when talents in the Chu army were gradually fading, except Xiang Yu, only Yingbu was able to calm the scene.

"Report!" As soon as the generals of the Chu camp arrived, a school soldier who had already rushed into the tent with a shout.

"Why are you panic?" Ying Bu's face darkened and he shouted coldly.

"Report to the general, Qin Gou held General Zhongli's flag outside the camp to challenge the enemy's scolding formation. May I ask if the general will go to fight?" The school soldiers calmed down a little and replied, but from the face of the general of the Chu army who was panicked and panicked, it can be seen that the Qin army who was calling must be a brave army.

Zhonglimei is a powerful general in the Chu army. Of course, the Qin army that can defeat him will not be a weak army. Not only the Chu soldiers have this understanding, but even the Chu generals in the tent looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"Hmph, Fu Zhe, finally here!" Compared to those Chu generals who were uneasy when they heard the news, Ying Bu snorted and felt a little contempt on his face.

"General, what should we do? Since Qin Gou can defeat General Zhongli, this shows that the person who scolds the enemy is definitely not a weak enemy. Should we stand firm and wait for aid or attack and invite the battle?" After a while, Chu general Ding Gong stood up hesitantly and asked in a low voice. His tone of questioning was weak, especially the last word "invitation" was so weak that he could hardly hear it.

"Haha, Mr. Ding, you are scared. My man from Chu stands tall and strong. How can you be afraid of Qin dogs? If you are afraid, I, Xiangzhuang, go to meet the enemy alone!"

Suddenly, a timid door rang out in a silent tent in a very disharmonious way. The one who could speak so presumptuously in front of Ying Bu was not someone else, but Xiang Zhuang.

Xiang Zhuang was brave enough to inherit his uncle Xiang Yu. He was a rare rising star in the Xiang family. However, he was a brave but not a resourceful person. Otherwise, he would not have been blocked by Xiang Bo when he was dancing in Pengcheng. Therefore, compared with Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang could only barely be considered a reckless general.

"Xiang Zhuang, what are you talking about? I, Mr. Ding, just want to remind the general that he has not made any mistake of underestimating the enemy again. How could he be afraid of war?" Mr. Ding was forced into a desperate situation by Xiang Zhuang. In front of everyone, he could only bite the bullet and act as a hero.

"Since General Ding is willing to kill the enemy, we will ask General Ying for orders together." Xiang Zhuang laughed and bowed his hand and shouted.

"Hmph, Xiangzhuang, do you think the only one in this tent named Xiang is a hero? I, Mr. Ding, would like to obey General Ying's command, advance and retreat with all the generals, and kill the enemy together!"

When it comes to killing enemies, Mr. Ding may not be as good as Xiang Zhuang, but compared to his old and treacherous skills, the two Xiang Zhuangs are unlikely to be Ding's opponents. With this sentence, Mr. Ding classified himself as the side of most generals and gained more favor from Ying Bu. Xiang Zhuang became arrogant because of his courage and became unpopular in the eyes of everyone.

The war drums rumble.

The Qin army invited the enemy to scold the enemy outside, and the Chu army was also in a tense position. When the dispute between Xiang Zhuang and Ding Gong was arguing, Ying Bu kept watching coldly, without saying anything or stopping it. If he didn't fight, he would be shocking. At this time, Ying Bu had no time to take care of the small conflict between Xiang Zhuang and Ding Gong. He was thinking in his heart how to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop and avenge his previous shame.

Not long ago, the 20,000 Chu troops under Zhonglimei's troops were wiped out in Anyang. Although Ying Bu was restrained by the enemy in front and could not help each other, he was severely rebuked by Xiang Yu. In order to win over Ying Bu, a powerful general and strengthen his strength to resist Qin, Xiang Yu had already intended to grant Ying Bu the King of Jiujiang. In this way, the matter of Ying Bu being the king had to be put aside.

The dream of becoming a king was shattered again, and I watched others fly up one by one, and I was always the "number one thug", which made Ying Bu, who had always been quite ambitious, feel extremely bad.

However, Xiang Yu was at least quite respectful to letting himself stay in the Chu camp. Compared to his dissatisfaction, Ying Bu was even more jealous of Qin State, especially Fu Ge.

Why can you become the supreme ruler of Qin, but I am still inferior to others, and even being crowned as a king has become a dream?

Why can you be lucky and rise to the top, but I am repeatedly excluded and depressed?

Thinking about the past, wasn’t you the same as me? Was it also a shepherd in this troubled world?

Recalling the first encounter in Chen County during the first battle, Ying Bu was so angry that his teeth were itchy. One step was a big difference, but then the situation was very different. Is this the so-called destiny?

No, I don't believe it.

When Ying Bu's eyes immediately turned red when he heard the news that the main force of the Qin army was approaching.

Kill it!

Kill him, blood flows into a river, blood flows away; kill him, the sky is dark, the wind and clouds change.

Fu Xiaozi, this time you hit my gun, you will be sorry. I want to have a sigh of relief, Julu and Linjin Pass, the shame of three battles; I want you to kneel on the ground and call me Grandpa Yingbu.

"General Ying, please give an order!" Seeing that Ying Bu had no movement for a long time, Xiang Zhuang, who had always had a bad temper, could no longer stand up and said loudly.

"Major General Xiang, Fu Tie is cunning and cunning, you are no match for him!" Ying Bu smiled coldly and said.

"Yingbu, what do you mean? Do you look down on me, Xiang Zhuang? No matter whether you give an order or not, I will have to fight this battle today. Humph, what else do you say when I defeat Qin Gou?" Xiang Zhuang snorted and shouted, posing as a kingly sport that no one else can be me.

"Okay, since General Xiangzhuang has the confidence to kill the enemy, I will hand over this first order to the general. After receiving the order, you will lead 5,000 troops out of the camp, and there must be no mistakes!"

"The last general will obey the order!" Xiang Zhuang glanced at the generals proudly, then turned around and stepped out with great force.

Watching Xiang Zhuang leave, Ying Bu's face showed a faint smile.

"General Ying, Xiang Zhuang is reckless and impulsive. If there is a mistake in this trip, it is difficult for the overlord to explain!" Seeing Xiang Zhuang leave, Chu general Xiao Gongjiao stepped out of the line.

Xiao Gongjiao was Ying Bu's confidant. His statement was not for Xiang Zhuang, a reckless man, but for Ying Bu's side to consider the problem. If Xiang Zhuang was killed or captured by the Qin army, Xiang Yu would definitely take his anger on Ying Bu. He was afraid that the situation would be in trouble and it would be difficult to deal with it.

"General Xiao, don't worry, I have my own plans for this matter. As for Xiangzhuang, it is certainly good that he can defeat the Qin army. If he loses, I will also have my own concerns. I will never let the Overlord blame you and me."

Ying Bu smiled calmly and looked calm, as if this trick to break Qin was already in his heart.

After hearing Ying Bu’s words, the generals of the Chu camp were in a little calmer. Some of the active minds had already guessed that Ying Bu was just using an aggressive plan to Xiang Zhuang, with the purpose of letting Xiang Zhuang fight this front.

In addition to tactical considerations, they also speculated that the reason why Ying Bu asked Xiang Zhuang to fight was that Xiang Zhuang relied on Xiang Yu's power and never took other Chu generals seriously. If he did not give him the first order arrow today, he would be afraid that Xiang Sheng, Xiang Bo and others would hold a grudge against themselves in the dark.

Second, Xiang Zhuang will not care about the outcome when he goes to the battle. If he wins, it will be Ying Bu’s good command. If he loses, Xiang Zhuang’s ability is not good and has nothing to do with Ying Bu.

At a moment, the horns were sobbing and the drums were sounding like thunder. The Qin and Chu armies set up their formations in front of the formation. The soldiers were all looking at each other without being outdone, their faces were full of aura and majestic.

The main formation of the Qin army.

Fu Ge, who was standing under the Central Army's flag, saw the gate of the Chu camp open, and a man with the word "Xiang" came out, and he was suddenly disappointed. He had already received a report from the scout, of course he would not naively think that it was Xiang Yu who was fighting. To be honest, this time he was conquering the troops, he really hoped to meet with Ying Bu, the old friend.
