Chapter 276: Come back

After a melee, the Qin and Chu armies each stopped their troops. Compared with the losses of both sides, although the Chu army lost nearly 5,000 elite troops, they finally saved Xiang Zhuang's life. This battle could barely be considered a draw.

For the Qin army, the purpose of this battle was to restrain Ying Bu from using troops to Han Xin's troops on the north bank of the Zhang River. Based on this strategic need, the maximum depletion of the strength of the Chu army was the first goal. As for Xiangzhuang, it would be best if he could take it down easily. If he was allowed to run away, it would be no big deal.

Even if Xiangzhuang is brave enough to go back, he is just a strong dog. His threat is far less terrifying than a group of wolves.

Fu Ge's understanding of this is surprisingly consistent with Ying Bu.

Xiang Zhuang, who was rescued in a dilemma, no longer had the confidence to challenge Ying Bu. In addition to the 5,000 Chu soldiers he brought, the other 15,000 soldiers were also broken up and assigned to the generals and troops close to him by Ying Bu on the grounds of supplementing the losses. After this, no one in the Chu camp could challenge him to Ying Bu's authority.

Witnessing Ying Bu's trick of killing people with a knife, Chu generals such as Ji Bu, Ding Gong, Xiao Gongjiao were all in their hearts, and their eyes were filled with a little awe at Ying Bu. They were both shocked by Ying Bu's ruthlessness in his daring to take out the lives of five thousand soldiers as a bet, and were also frightened by the Qin army's ability to seize the battle in this battle.

Ying Bu used the Qin army to seize Xiang Zhuang's command power. He was very skilled in the subsequent confrontation battle. Although he had suffered a while in the first battle, Ying Bu quickly used excellent command to make up for this loss. With the help of the Chu camp's layers of defense, the Qin army did not get much advantage after several battles.

On the banks of the Zhang River, the war was in a stalemate, which was determined by the strength of both sides. Even if Fu Ge and Zhang Liang had some advantages, he could not defeat the British and Bu army in a short time.

The stalemate made both sides anxious and restless. For the Chu army, which needed long-range supply support, it was certainly gratifying to maintain an undefeated situation, but Xiang Yu knew that if this situation was allowed to develop, the failure of the Chu army would inevitably be inevitable.

If he wanted to turn the situation around, he had to be surprised and had to use tricks to make the Qin army unable to defend. Therefore, after deciding to implement the big detour strategy, the main force of the Chu army turned around to the downstream of the Zhang River with a resolute and unswerving momentum. At the same time, Xiang Yu also urgently sent capable people to Ji County where King Zang Tu of Yan was located, and Zhu County where King Hengshan Wu Rui was located, lobbying Zang Tu and Wu Rui raised his troops to meet.

March 19, the fourth year of the Xinyuan period of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The spring gradually rippled on the branches of the forest. After stepping through a newly thawed ice river downstream of the Zhang River, more than 50,000 main forces of the Chu army met with General Pu's troops who were heading to the back and began to attack Julu City, which had just been captured by the Qin army.

North of Julu, the Chu army camp.

"Overlord, please allow me to go to the Wei camp to lobby Wei Bao to harass the Qin army's future road!" As soon as we arrived on the north bank, before the army had finished camping, the Han King Liu Bang, who had been patient for many days, began to urgently advise Xiang Yu.

"Pei Gong, the Wei army has been scared by Qin Gou. How could they have the courage to fight?" Hearing Liu Bang say this, General Pu couldn't help but say.

During this period, he and Wei Bao and other princes defended the north together. What made him feel extremely heartwarming was that when the Qin army attacked the Zhao army, it was originally a good opportunity to attack, but unexpectedly, the princes such as Wei Bao were afraid of falling into the trap of the Qin army again, so they defended the camp without fighting and watched the Zhao army be destroyed.

General Pu, who was alone and unable to speak, had no choice but to give up. Now, he was finally happy when the main force of the Chu army arrived. In his opinion, instead of putting his hope on the princes who could not help, it would be better to rely on the Chu army to be more stable.

"Although the overlord, the Wei army and all the princes were weak, they could be used to harass Qin Gou's retreat. Our army is currently suffering from the attacks of the thieves of Peng Yue. Why not treat the person with his own way!"

After Liu Bang's short sentence, Xiang Yu immediately made up his mind: "Pei Gong, in order to defeat the Qin army, if Wei Bao leads his troops in a difficult position, you can control it yourself!"

Peng Yue's attack on the Chu army's rear was too great, and the Chu army's food supply was intermittent and the supply was extremely unstable. Therefore, Xiang Yu, who suffered a lot, immediately expressed his agreement when he heard Liu Bang's advice.

"Don't worry, I, Liu Bang, will never let the entrustedness of the entrusted king. If there is a future, the Han army will definitely listen to the entrusted king alone!" Liu Bang saw that Xiang Yu wanted to let him fly alone, and immediately greeted him.

For Liu Bang, who was eager to make a comeback, if the mermaid dragon could escape this time, it would be like a dragon entering the sea. He believed that it would not be difficult to integrate a coalition force with his own means. As for the sincerity of these promises to Xiang Yu, only Liu Bang knew it in his heart.

Liu Bang said goodbye with satisfaction. After hiding, he was more tolerant than before, and knew better to hide himself when he was not strong enough, and to polish other people's thoughts.

However, his series of performances can confuse Xiang Yu, but he cannot escape another pair of sharp eyes that have insight into human nature.

The owner of these eyes is Chen Ping.

As a secret chess in Fujian, Chen Ping knew his weight and knew that only by sending back information with absolute value could he occupy an important position in the future Qin State's layout and leave a good impression on the big man Fu Ge.

After being separated from Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, Chen Ping has been quite low-key recently. In the eyes of others, his behavior of only focusing on doing things and not engaging in factional disputes seems stupid, but in fact, Chen Ping's shrewdness is also here.

When Xiang Yu heard about Fan Zeng's death, he would definitely regret it very much. At this time, if Chen Ping jumped out and said something in front of Xiang Yu, the result would be imagined.

Only by not attracting attention can you protect yourself. Only by dressing yourself up as an innocent and honest person can you have the opportunity to continue to ambush in the Chu Camp. Once you understand this, it is not difficult to understand Chen Ping's approach.

Chuying.

The left general Xiang Sheng camped.

The elder of the Xiang clan, who was both white and white, was sitting upright as the same generation as the Xiang Liang, Wu Xinjun, and looked at the handsome man standing in front of him with a vigilant face.

Xiang Sheng had no good impression of a handsome and beautiful Confucian scholar like Chen Ping, but this is no wonder Chen Ping was inappropriate, but because Fan Zeng, who had been competing with Xiang Sheng for the second place in the Chu army, was a well-educated Confucian scholar.

Love Wu and Wu, hate Wu and Wu.

Xiang Sheng’s disgust towards Confucian scholars was strong because of Fan Zeng. Although Fan Zeng has died of illness, Xiang Sheng is still the same.

"Is there anything wrong with Chen Sima Lai's military tent?" Xiang Sheng asked coldly.

"Have General Xiang heard that the Overlord had promised Pei Gong to go to Wei Camp to lobby? Pei Gong will go to various princes next. I believe that with Pei Gong's ability, it won't take long for our Chu army to have an allied army with a considerable number of people." Chen Ping smiled slightly and said slowly.

"Hmph, the Allied Army is worthy of the scrambles of the princes!" Xiang Sheng snorted coldly, and a little contempt flashed in his eyes. Although Xiang Sheng stayed in Pengcheng during the war in Julu and did not participate in it personally, he was very dissatisfied with the way of watching the princes on the wall. Now, the second battle has begun. When Chen Ping's words, he faintly said that he would lean Liu Bang and other princes as his arms, Xiang Sheng would of course disagreed.

"The weak combat power of the old general Mingjian, Liu Bang, Wei Bao and other princes cannot be compared with our Great Chu Xiong Army. How can they have the courage to fight with Qin Gou!" Chen Ping smiled.

The Great Chuxiong Army———Chen Ping's frank words made Xiang Sheng very helpful, although his subordinates had not achieved any record worth showing off so far.

However, as long as you have a surname Xiang, you will never forget the glorious battle of defeating hundreds of thousands of Qin troops with 30,000 Chu troops. Even if that battle does not have its own contribution, your face will be shining when mentioned.

"Sima Chen is right. Only the warriors of the Great Chu can do it if they want to deal with Qin Gou. As for the princes, there is no need to rely on these fence-bearers." Xiang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he was proud of Chen Ping's words.

"However, the old general Ping told him calmly, and he didn't know whether he should speak or not?" Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Ping tried to persuade him to take the bait.

"Come on, let's see Chen Sima, let's just say that, I won't blame you!" Xiang Sheng heard Chen Ping hesitantly, his face hesitated, and he immediately became curious.

In terms of scheming, even Ya's father Fan Zeng is not Chen Ping's opponent. Although Xiang Sheng lived in vain for more than 60 years, he still fell into Chen Ping's trap without surprise.

"Old General, according to your opinion, what is the purpose of this Pei Gong integrating the princes?" Chen Ping sat down, then gently drank a mouthful of light wine in the cup and asked.

"Of course this is to deal with Qin Gou and avenge his repeated defeats!" Xiang Sheng paused and replied.

"The old general was very considerate, but in his opinion, this is just one of them, and the second one is—!" Having said this, Chen Ping deliberately extended the tone and did not continue to talk.

"What is the second thing? Chen Sima said, you advised the overlord in the Chu Palace in Pengcheng in the previous period, and asked that old boy Fan Zeng to take a slap. I will remember this friendship." Xiang Sheng said anxiously.

Chen Ping came to visit him this time, and the feeling that Xiang Sheng was that Chen Ping wanted to surrender to Xiang as his backer. Since this was the case, Xiang Sheng certainly couldn't ask for it. After all, one more person would have more strength.
