Xiang Zhuang slowly climbed to the top of Shouchun City surrounded by Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhonglimei, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi. He stood on the city tower and looked down. He saw that the entire city had been destroyed by the Chu army crowd. After eating and drinking, he slept soundly for half a night, the remaining Chu army had recovered their strength. He was killing indiscriminately and carnival!

Including Jing Qian and Gao Chu, more than 200 personal soldiers led by Gao Chu also joined the carnival!

There were sounds of killing everywhere, wailing everywhere, and the crazy laughter of the remaining soldiers of the Chu army everywhere.

The village was slaughtered last night, but Xiangzhuang did not stop it. This morning, Xiangzhuang also had no intention of stopping it.

In the same sentence, this is the law of troubled times, and there are laws of troubled times. Xiang Zhuang is a man, not a god, and he cannot change the law of survival in this world! If he insists on stopping the carnival of the remnants of the Chu army, it will only lead to mutiny. These mobs have become stray dogs. How can they survive if they don’t let them vent?

Of course, Xiang Zhuang also kept his bottom line. Before entering the city, he had already ordered the entire army to not burn food, children should not be killed, and women should not be killed especially!

Food is the foundation of survival and must not be wasted!

Children are the source of soldiers in the future and must be protected!

As for women, they are the mother of the nation's reproduction, how can they be killed indiscriminately?

As a soul who traveled through time from later generations, Xiang Zhuang knew a truth that in times of trouble, it would always lead to a large reduction in the population. However, as long as the base of women of childbearing age is still there, no matter how many males died in battle or how much population is lost, the entire nation will still rise again in a short period of time. No exception will be made in all dynasties.

Compared with Xiang Zhuang, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhonglimei, Xiao Gongjiao and Yu Ziqi, the five people had a different state of mind.

Huan Chu and the other two never expected that the Chu army, which was already at the end of their journey, could really capture Shouchun, and it was as Xiang Zhuang said, without any trouble at all, and no one even died! They thought Xiang Zhuang was just saying bold words, but they never expected that all this would become true!

The city with high and deep ditches finally caught the crowd.

"General!" Huan Chu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Huan Chu is convinced!"

Xiao Gongjiao also echoed loudly: "The general uses troops, even if Sun Wu reborn, it is not as good as that!"

Ji Bu and Zhonglimei didn't say much, but they were comparing Xiang Zhuang with Xiang Yu in their hearts. Although Xiang Zhuang was not as brave as Xiang Yu, they were not much different. However, in terms of wisdom, Xiang Zhuang was far better than Xiang Yu. The battle of Shouchun was enough to illustrate the problem. If Xiang Yu had led his troops, how could he come up with such a strange plan?

Xiang Zhuang said: "This sneak attack on Shouchun is just a lucky draw."

After saying that, Xiang Zhuang said to Yu Ziqi again: "General Ziqi, please ask you to collect the grain in the city as soon as possible and transport it into the deep mountains and forests northwest of Shouchun! Remember, this matter must be carried out secretly, especially if people cannot know the place of hiding food. The soldiers involved in the transportation of grain must also carefully select and must not make any mistakes."

"No!" Yu Ziqi bowed respectfully to Xiang Zhuang and turned around.

Although Xiang Zhuang's order was a bit vague, Yu Ziqi did not show any hesitation any more.

Seeing this scene, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Zhuang's lips. The Battle of Shouchun not only solved the recent supply problems of the three thousand remaining troops, but also helped him to establish his prestige initially. At least, the Chu generals such as Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Xiao Gongjiao no longer openly questioned his decision as before.

However, the difficulties faced by the Chu army did not fundamentally change.

Although the Chu army drove 300 miles in one day, it did not escape from the Huai and Si land. Liu Bang and Han Xin's 700,000 troops still enveloped the heads of the three thousand Chu troops like dark clouds, and could surround them at any time. What's more, Xiangzhuang only initially solved the issue of leadership of the Chu army, and the more important military morale and morale issues have not been solved!

It is impossible for the Chu army to recover its combat effectiveness before solving the problems of morale and morale.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang's mood became heavier again. It was really not easy to restore the combat effectiveness of the remnants of the Chu army. It was easy for an army to collapse, and it only took one crushing defeat. However, to restore the fighting spirit of an army, it would probably take dozens or even hundreds of victories!

The long journey has just begun. At this moment, Xiang Zhuang, who has never believed in the sayings of ghosts and gods, can only pray to the sky. I hope Liu Bang will not send too difficult generals, nor will he send tens of thousands of troops. If this is true, even if his Xiang Zhuang has the soul of a time traveler, he may have to rush into the mountains to be a savage.

Fan Kuai narrowed his eyes slightly and was sitting in the chariot and pretending to sleep.

Fan Kuai was just in his early forties, and was the most powerful person in his life. He was also extremely heroic. His pair of tigers had bright eyes and their chirping beards stood up, exuding a heroic and bravery from head to toe. In fact, this is true. Fan Kuai was not only the number one general under Liu Bang, but also the second-ranked general after Xiang Yu in the Chu-Han period!

Behind Fan Kuai, dense flags almost covered the entire road, and three thousand iron armors held high spears and iron halberds, and were advancing towards the West in a mighty manner.

The iron-armored soldiers carry dozens of kilograms of weight, and only elites can march quickly.

News of the scouts sent out came back from time to time. Although the distance between them and the defeated Chu army was getting farther and farther away, Fan Kuai didn't care at all. He was just a group of defeated soldiers and generals, without supplies and food. How far could they escape? Where could they escape? It would be a matter of time to be caught up and eliminated.

In Fan Kuai's opinion, this expedition was just a matter of coming to collect credit.

In fact, when Liu Bang arranged for Fan Kuai to go to the expedition, he did have the intention to give credit to Fan Kuai. Since the start of the Pei County, he has followed Liu Bang's old subordinates. But to say who is the most trusted by Liu Bang is definitely Fan Kuai. Fundamentally speaking, Fan Kuai is Liu Bang's number one confidant. Therefore, who else can Liu Bang give away this kind of military achievements without giving Fan Kuai?

Of course, there was another secret reason why Liu Bang sent Fan Kuai to lead his troops to the expedition!

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the front. Fan Kuai helped him slightly, and saw a flying cavalry running from the front. He had just arrived in front of Fan Kuai's chariot and stopped. The cavalry on the horse bowed to Fan Kuai first, and then reported loudly: "General, the scouts found more than ten single Chu soldiers on the mountain road."

Fan Kuai nodded and asked, "What is the result of the torture? In which direction did the Chu army defeated soldiers go?"

The scout cavalry replied respectfully: "Report to the general, the defeated troops of the Chu army have gone west."

"Going west?" Fan Kuai said again, "What is the boundary when going west?"

The scout cavalry said, "General, twenty miles westward will be Quyang County."

"Quyang County?" Fan Kuai knocked on the shaft of the chariot, and then turned around and ordered, "Send the order to speed up the marching. Be sure to arrive in Quyang County before noon today."

In Shouchun Prison, Xiang Zhuang met Wu She.

Wu She was once an important strategist under Xiang Yu's command, but later Xiang Yu fell into Chen Ping's counter-espionage plan and was very suspicious of the civil and military officials under his command. It was at that time that Wu She was demoted by Xiang Yu to Shouchun to be the county magistrate, and now Xiang Zhuang has only traveled over there later, so this is the first time the two met.

However, as a time traveler, Xiang Zhuang certainly heard of Wu She's famous name.

After Han Xin defeated the Chu general Long Qi in Weishui, Xiang Yu sent Wu She to lobby Han Xin and become independent and share the world with Han and Chu. However, Han Xin was rejected by Han Xin. However, Wu She was sent by Xiang Yu to lobby Han Xin, which shows that his eloquence is very good. As for his strategy, there is no clear record in history books.

When the two saw the courtesy, Wu She asked in a voice: "Three Generals, how are he doing?"

Xiang Zhuang was silent, and after a while, he sighed: "Sir, the king is afraid that he will be in danger!"

Zhou Yin rebelled against Chu, and Wu She was imprisoned, which shows that his heart was still towards Chu State, so there was no need to hide some things from him. Besides, it could not be hidden. As long as there was no big deviation in history, the news that the Chu army was defeated at Gaixia and Xiang Yu committed suicide by slashing his throat in Wujiang would soon spread throughout the world.

"Ah!?" Wu She's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Xiang Zhuang said from beginning to end the defeat of the Chu army and the subsequent situation. Wu She was speechless after hearing it for a while. Obviously, it was difficult for him to accept such a change for a while! Xiang Yu's life and death were uncertain, and there were only three thousand defeated soldiers left in hundreds of thousands of Chu troops. Doesn't this mean that the Chu State has exhausted its energy and the world will soon be named Liu?

Seeing Wu She so devastated, Xiang Zhuang was greatly disappointed.

It seems that Wu She is just a debater, not a qualified adviser.

As a strategist, the most basic quality is to be calm. Although Mount Tai is pressing on the top, it is not tempting. Only by doing this can we discover the true nature of things through complex appearances. For example, Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are extremely outstanding strategists. Unfortunately, Fan Zeng is dead, and Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are Liu Bang's left arm and right arm.

Wu She soon noticed his incompetence and immediately accused Xiang Zhuang of guilt: "Good General, I'm sorry, I've heard such bad news at the moment, and I've been confused." After saying this, Wu She said again, "And, my wisdom and quality are mediocre. Apart from being a little eloquent, it's really useless. However, I know that there is a hermit in the north of the city, and I can give advice to the general."

"Heror?" Xiang Zhuang said disapprovingly, "Sir, can you know the name of this hermit?"

"This person's name is unknown." Wu She shook his head and said, "But I have talked about military tactics several times. This person has a unique understanding of military tactics, and I am ashamed of myself." After saying this, Wu She said, "Also, I have seen the 32nd chapter of "Yu Liaozi" on his desk, which has never been passed down from generation to generation, so I suspect that he is probably the former Qin Taiwei and Wei Liao!"

"What did you say? Therefore, Qin Wei, Wei Liao!" Xiang Zhuang stood up suddenly and his face was shocked when he heard this.

Wei Liao is a military strategist as famous as Sun Wu and Wu Qi! In the history of Qin, Wei Liao was even more famous as Wei Yang. Wei Yang entered Qin and brought the heavenly farming and war system to Qin. Wei Liao entered Qin and brought the magnificent strategy to eliminate the six countries to Qin! These two people are both strategic masters who have been famous in history!

"Jing Qian, Gao Chu!" Xiang Zhuang turned around and shouted loudly, "Come on the car quickly, hurry up!"

Wei Liao's age is roughly the same as Qin Shihuang. If he were really alive, he would be in his sixties now. Perhaps the person Wu She mentioned was really Wei Liao. At this moment, Xiang Zhuang was not just anxious?
