In the military camp in the north of the city, the melee between the Chu army and the Wei army had already decided.

Although there were less than a hundred Chu troops participating in the melee, there were at least five hundred Wei troops, but the result of the melee was that the Wei army was completely defeated, and at least four hundred were killed on the spot.

This result is indeed a bit exaggerated.

Zhang Chun, the general under Chen Xi, retreated to a corner with the last hundred remaining soldiers. While fighting against Jing Qian's crazy attack, he shouted in a harsh manner: "Jing Qian, are you really going to kill all the fuck?"

Jing Qian's sword was as tight as a knife, and the knife slashed at Zhang Chun's vital point, shouting with a grim voice: "Why did I advise you just now? You kid insisted on making trouble because you have more people, and now you remember to beg for mercy? Tell you, it's too late!" After that, Jing Qian jumped up again, and slashed Zhang Chun with a knife.

Zhang Chun dared not fight hard and hurriedly retreated.

Jing Qian smiled grimly, and the sword force suddenly changed to a stab. The sharp tip of the knife directly touched Zhang Chun's throat. Zhang Chun's feet were retreating, and he could no longer dodge. When Jing Qian was about to pierce the throat with a knife, Xiang Zhuang suddenly heard a thunderous roar from outside the military gate: "Jing Qian, can't stop!"

Jing Qian's sword force suddenly stopped, and the sharp tip was only a slight distance from Zhang Chun's throat.

Zhang Chun's face turned pale and beads of sweat were already oozing out of his forehead. At this moment, he could clearly feel the coldness coming from Jing Qian's blade. Jing Qian's blade tip only needed a little further forward, and Zhang Chun was afraid that he would have died on the spot.

Amid the chaotic footsteps, Xiang Zhuang and Chen Xi rushed into the gate with hundreds of songs.

Jing Qian groaned, put away his knife and retreated behind Xiang Zhuang. Zhang Chun then breathed a long sigh of relief, but found that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

Looking at the bodies of Wei soldiers all over the ground, Xiang Zhuang and Chen Feng frowned at the same time.

Xiang Zhuang had long expected that Chen Xi would not easily hand over military power. After all, he now had 30,000 strong men, and he might even compete with him for the dominance of the Chu army with Xiang Zhuang. The disciples under Chen Xi would also be provoking trouble. Xiang Zhuang just didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly and urgently!

Chen Xi frowned because almost all the bodies of the Wei army were lying on the ground, but only a few of the Chu army were missing.

More than 500 Wei troops fought with more than 100 Chu troops, but the Wei army was almost destroyed, while only a few of the Chu troops died, and more than a dozen people were slightly injured. This result was really scary!

Although the Chu army was well-equipped and almost all of them were sharp soldiers wearing hard and held sharp edges, the Wei army was poorly equipped and did not even have decent iron weapons. However, it is an indisputable fact that there is a huge gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides. After this incident, Chen Xi had a deeper understanding of the Chu army's super combat effectiveness.

Xiang Zhuang took the lead and asked, "Jing Qian, what's going on?"

Jing Qian bowed and said, "General, more than 5,000 Han soldiers in the barracks have surrendered to our Great Chu, but Zhang Chun rushed into the barracks with 500 Wei troops. He wanted to kill prisoners of war without saying a word, and he also took the head to seek credit. After the last general said a few words to him, he not only did not listen, but he dared to use his strength. He was simply ignorant of his life and death!"

Hou Chang, who came with Chen Xi, turned his back and said, "So what if the Han army surrendered your Chu army? If our 30,000 troops had attracted most of the defenders in Dongguan, you two or three thousand people want to take down the Hulao Pass? Dream! With this, these five thousand Han army prisoners of war will also be given to us 4,500!"

"Haha." Jing Qian laughed in anger and said, "It's really a shameless horse. If our Chu army hadn't opened the door, you would have wanted to enter the pass too? That would have been a delusion!"

Hou Chang was furious and said, "Jing Qian, how dare you despise my 30,000 army of the Great Wei?"

"Thirty thousand army?" Jing Qian said sneeringly, "It's just a group of mobs who dare to call themselves a big army?"

"The mob?" Hou Chang said anxiously, "Do you want the two armies to pull them outside the pass to fight another battle to determine the outcome?"

"Accompany at any time!" Jing Qian said in a murderous manner, "It's not that we underestimate you. The Chu army only needs two thousand elite soldiers to kill all of you, 30,000 or 20,000 local chickens and tiled dogs!"

Seeing that Jing Qian became more and more arrogant as he spoke, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but stop and said, "Jing Qian, shut up!"

Chen Xi was also so angry that his face turned pale. He admitted that the Wei army was not as good as the elite of the Chu army, but the Wei army gathered in Hulao Pass had 30,000 small numbers, while the Chu army had less than 3,000 people. Even if the Wei army bit each, he bit the three thousand Chu army to death. Jing Qian dared to boast that two thousand Chu army could kill all the 30,000 Wei army! How arrogant?!

When he was angry, Chen Xi's tone became a little stiff, and he said immediately: "General, what do you think you should do about this?"

Of course, Xiang Zhuang would not show weakness at this time, otherwise his prestige in the minds of the Chu army soldiers would be greatly reduced. He said extremely toughly: "Hou Chang's troops were provoking first. Although there were heavy casualties, it was taken by oneself!" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said to Chen Xi again, "As for the punishment, it is your business for General Chen."

Chen Xi frowned and said, "How does the General plan to punish Jing Qian? Flog or behead?"

Xiang Zhuang said coldly: "That is my general's business, so General Chen Xi will not ask for any more information."

"What?" Hou Chang said with a voice, "Can you just let go of this? So many of us died in vain?"

"Rareless!" Xiang Zhuang said furiously, "Hou Chang, do you really think that I am afraid to kill you? Don't forget that I am also the general of the governor of the Great Wei State!"

Hou Chang was suddenly silent.

Chen Xi's heart also trembled slightly. There was nothing else, Xiang Zhuang's powerful power was too strong.

It does take some courage to play against Xiang Zhuang, but soon Chen Xi secretly encouraged himself. No matter what, he now has 30,000 young men. If he can get the armor and weapons of more than 5,000 Han army prisoners of war in Hulao Guanzhong, then the Wei army will immediately become a powerful soldier. What will Xiang Zhuang be afraid of then?

After understanding this, Chen Xi immediately lowered his posture and shouted with a slutty voice: "Zhang Chun, as a general of the Wei rear army, asked the Chu army to disturb the Chu army, which led to an armed fight between the Chu army, causing hundreds of soldiers on both sides to beheaded or injured. He should have been beheaded, but he thought that he had made great contributions to breaking the pass and avoiding his death penalty, and immediately whipped eighty to serve as a warning to others!"

As soon as Chen Xi said this, all the Chu and Wei generals present changed their faces.

At that moment, two Wei soldiers rushed forward and tied Zhang Chun to the gate without saying a word. Then they waved a long whip and slapped Zhang Chun's back. The long whip that was executed in the army was made of buffalo tendons and sanitary. It was long and heavy. With just one whip, Zhang Chun's upper robe was pulled out, and a striking blood mark appeared on his back.

After eighty whips, Zhang Chun's back was already bloody and he was only half breath left.

Chen Xi sighed and said to Xiang Zhuang: "General, are you still satisfied with this when the general deals with it?"

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look at Chen Feng carefully. This guy is a character. However, Xiang Zhuang would not punish Jing Qian because Zhang Chun was whipped! Good soldiers are praised, and powerful generals are used to. As long as he does not betray himself, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, Xiang Zhuang will never blame him for a powerful general!

Seeing that Xiang Zhuang had no words, Chen Xi sighed again and said, "General, Zhang Chun is reckless in his behavior. He was beaten to death. However, there was a reason why he attacked the military camp." After saying this, Chen Xi pointed to the soldiers behind him and said, "You have seen it, General, the equipment of our Wei army is very poor. There are 30,000 people in the army, almost all of them are without armor. Most of the soldiers even use bamboo swords and wooden halberds, which is really sad."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xiang Zhuang's mouth. Chen Xi was very calculating.

However, Xiangzhuang is difficult to refuse Chen Xi's request, or it cannot be refused at all, because the Chu army is not short of armor and equipment at present, but the Wei army is indeed urgently needed this batch of armor and weapons. In addition, the Chu army and the Wei army are allied forces. If Xiangzhuang refuses to meet this requirement, how can we win the morale of the Wei army?

Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "General Chen Xi, even if you don't say it, I will give it to you."

Chen Xi was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply, "In this way, I will thank the general for the last time."

Xiang Zhuang nodded and immediately ordered Jing Qian to say, "Jing Qian, immediately escort the Han army prisoners out of the pass and return to Luoyang. As for the food, supplies, weapons and armor in Hulao Pass, they all belong to the Wei army. No matter what, the Wei army also constrained most of the Han army guarding the pass in front, and these spoils were regarded as rewards for them."

"No!" Jing Qian responded with a loud promise, and immediately led the camp to escort the surrendered Han army soldiers out of the pass.

When the east sky was slightly white, Xiang Zhuang also took the Chu army away from Hulao Pass. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Chen Xi that once the troops were rectified, he would leave a army to guard Hulao Pass, and then lead the army to Luoyang to join forces to attack Hangu Pass. Chen Xi wanted Xiang Zhuang to leave earlier, so he naturally agreed.

As for Tian Heng and Babaimen, they naturally followed Xiangzhuang.

On the way back to Luoyang, Wu She caught up with Xiangzhuang by horses and said with concern: "General, this Chen Xi seems to have the intention of being a disobedient?"

Xiang Zhuang did not answer, just smiled faintly.

Chen Xi was originally a very ambitious person. In history, even when Liu Bang had unified the world and ascended the throne and became emperor, this guy dared to rebel. How could he be able to surrender to him now? However, Xiang Zhuang never had any illusions about Chen Xi.

Long before Ao Cang divided the troops, Xiang Zhuang had already reserved a hand.

Now, it is time for the pawn to work.

The only thing Xiang Zhuang was that it was nearly 150 miles from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, and it would take at least one or two days to go back and forth. If Liu Bang got the news, then joined forces with Peng Yue and then led a large army to attack Hulao Pass when Xiang Zhuang fought, the situation would become very bad.
