Xianyang, Jianzhang Palace. (《》)

Since the Jianzhang Palace was completed, Liu Bang moved to his new residence, while Changle Palace was changed to the East Palace of Prince Liu Ying.

In the side hall of Jianzhang Palace, Liu Bang, Xiao He and a group of civil servants and generals were gathering in front of a screen to discuss the situation of Jiuyuan. The Jiuyuan map was naturally hung on the screen.

According to Zhou Bo's military newspaper, the decisive battle with the Huns has been in the past few days.

Liu Bang had to worry that this war with the Huns was related to the fate of the Han Dynasty. If it was victorious, the border troubles would be peaceful from now on, and the Han Dynasty would be able to concentrate all its national strength and attack the Kanto countries. If it was defeated, it would be troublesome. If the Huns could not be solved, it would be difficult for the Han army to compete with the Central Plains again.

Seeing Liu Bang's worried look, Xiao He advised: "King, our army's strength and equipment are far superior to the Huns. General Zhou Bo is very skilled in using troops, but General Lu Tai is as fast as fire. The two can be said to be mutually beneficial. Although Maodun is difficult to deal with, it is difficult to get a little advantage under the two generals. In the battle of Jiuyuan, I think our army will win."

Liu Bang nodded and said, "After that being said, I still don't support it."

As Liu Bang finished speaking, Sui He, a silencer in front of the palace, suddenly ran in panting with a roll of silk book. Before he could enter the palace, he shouted loudly: "King, great victory, great victory in Jiuyuan!"

"Oh?" Liu Bang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Jiuyuan Victory?"

Xiao He smiled and said, "Master, I'm right?"

Liu Bang took the silk book from Sui He, read it in a hurry, and then laughed to the sky.

Xiao He stood beside him and saw that the war report clearly stated that the Huns were defeated and were defeated. Jiuyuan County had all returned to the Han Dynasty. Zhou Bo also asked the King of Han to recruit 500,000 people to fill Jiuyuan.

Liu Bang laughed and was about to order a banquet to invite the county ministers, Xiahou Ying suddenly hurried in.

As he approached, Xiahou Ying bowed to Liu Bang and said angrily: "King, something happened. I just received an urgent report from the governor of Ba County Jin Xu. Xiang Zhuang's son has personally led a large army to enter Bashu. Now he is driving his troops to attack Jiameng Pass. Jin Xu also said that Jiameng Pass may be lost at any time. Please send troops to help quickly!"

"What did you say? Xiang Zhuang personally led a large army into Bashu?!"

Liu Bang's surprise was really extraordinary. Didn't it mean that the Chu army would join forces with Linjiang and the Huainan army to attack Liang State? Why was Xiang Zhuang's son led his army to Bashu? And suddenly he fought to Jiameng Pass? If there was a mistake in Jiameng Pass, then Hanzhong would be in danger. If Hanzhong was lost, Guanzhong would be in lingering!

Hanzhong is the gateway for Guanzhong. Once the Chu army occupied Hanzhong, it would be a big problem. You can fight, the road is dangerous and the road is blocked, so you will definitely not be able to attack. Beware. Hanzhong is too close to Xianyang. If the Chu army attacks a surprise attack, Liu Bang may become a prisoner of the Chu army!

"No?" Xiao He also looked disbelief and asked Xiahou Ying, "General Xiahou, have you made a mistake? Didn't the Chu army fight against the Liang army? Why did he suddenly enter Bashu? Moreover, he fought to Jiameng Pass so quickly? How could this be possible? You need to know that the road to Shu is difficult and dangerous. The Chu army will not fly into Bashu, right?"

Xiahou Ying dug and said, "The king, I don't believe it, but that's what the envoy sent by Jin Xu said. (")"

"Where is the messenger? Where is the messenger sent by Jin Xu?" Liu Bang said anxiously, "I want to ask him in person."

Xiahou Ying sighed and said with a dim expression: "King, in order to send the news to Xianyang as soon as possible, the envoy ran two fast horses to death in a row. Finally, he ran a long distance of hundreds of miles before reaching Xianyang. Just now, after conveying Jin Xu's urgent report to the minister, he died. He was exhausted."

"Ah?!" Liu Bang was shocked again when he heard this. What kind of emergency military information would be needed to make the messenger exhausted to death?!

Xiao He also changed his qualities. To put it this way, it should be true that Xiang Zhuang personally led the Chu army into Guanzhong. Moreover, Jin Xu also faced Xiang Zhuang many times, so he would not recognize the wrong person.

"King!" Xiao He said at the moment, "Jiameng Pass cannot be made mistakes, and Hanzhong cannot be made mistakes. Without further ado, we should send a large army to support Jiameng Pass!"

"Yes, yes, send troops, send troops!" Liu Bang answered repeatedly and asked Xiahou Ying again, "Xiahou Ying, you lead 5,000 elite soldiers to set off immediately, and at all costs, you must arrive at Jiameng Pass in the shortest time, and then nail it to Jiameng Pass like a nail. I personally lead the army and then arrive!"

"Yes!" Xiahou Ying replied with a loud bang and took the order. ("7*

Watching Xiahou Ying's figure go away, Liu Bang took a deep breath of air conditioning again, and then ordered Sui He: "Sui He, prepare for the car immediately. I will go to the north camp of the city."

#############

On the Taurus Road, Xiang Zhuang led more than a thousand Tianlang soldiers to travel day and night, and marched towards Hanzhong.

As the saying goes, time is life. Until now, the Chu army's surprise attack on Bashu has no secret. Even Liu Bang, who was far away in Xianyang, has probably received news.

Now, the only thing the Chu army can do is race against time. Before the Han army reacted, it took Hanzhong with lightning speed, and then sent troops to block Chen Cang Road and Ziwu Valley Road. As for the Baoxi Road, it has not been repaired since Liu Bang was burned when he entered Hanzhong eighteen years ago.

As long as the Chu army took Hanzhong, they would take the initiative strategically!

At this time, there were less than 1,500 Tianlang Guards in Xiangzhuang. It was indeed a bit risky to attack Hanzhong with 1,500 people, but Xiangzhuang thought this risk was worth taking, because the Han army did not know that the Chu army had only such a small amount of troops. It was not impossible to capture Nan Zheng in one fell swoop under the premise that the Han army did not know the reality of the Chu army!

The number of troops has never been a problem for Xiangzhuang.

Since the Wild Horse Yuan was appointed to the crisis, are there still fewer battles from director Xiang Zhuang who wins more with less?

As he walked, the sky suddenly darkened without warning. Xiang Zhuang was shocked. Isn’t it half a morning? Why is it dark? When he looked up quickly, he saw that the army had entered a steep canyon at some time. There were cliffs dozens of feet high on both sides of the canyon, even the sun in the sky blocked it.

Xiang Zhuang instinctively stopped and raised his right hand at the same time.

Hu Yan, who was following behind, turned around and shouted: "The king has an order, the whole army will stop advancing!"

With a command, more than a thousand Tianlang soldiers following behind him stopped moving forward one after another.

After looking at the cliffs on both sides of the canyon again, Xiang Zhuang asked Qu Bu and said, "Lao Qu, what place is this?"

Qu Bucai turned around and looked at Tang Tong with a look of inquiry. Tang Tong took two steps forward and said to Xiang Zhuang: "King, this is the most steepest part of the Taurus Road, Jiange!"

"Jiange?" Xiang Zhuang was so shocked when he heard this, "This is the Jiange where one man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it?"

Jiange is a famous pass in the world. However, before Shu Han, Jiange had no city. It was not until Zhuge Liang became the prime minister of Shu that he sent troops to build Jianmen Pass in Jiange. In the late Three Kingdoms, Zhang He, the only remaining general among the five good generals of Wei State, was shot dead by the Shu army in Jiange.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang was shocked.

At this time, if there is an ambush on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, then Xiang Zhuang will die without a burial place! Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Send the entire army to speed up the passage!"

Hu Yan responded with a loud noise. Just as he was about to turn back and send orders, a sudden burst of laughter suddenly sounded on the cliffs on both sides.

"Hmm?!" Xiang Zhuang's heart sank when he heard this. When he looked up quickly, he saw a tall white-clothed handsome man standing on the cliff on the right.

"There are really ambushers?" Xiang Zhuang's pupils suddenly contracted sharply!

"Ambushes, there are ambush!" Hu Yan was also shocked and screamed in dismay.

Although the more than a thousand Tianlang Guards who were following behind were also surprised, they were not panicked at all. Veterans were veterans. Even when they were facing an irreversible desperate situation, they could still remain calm enough even at the last moment of their lives, because they knew very well that the more critical the moment, the more they had to remain calm.

Suddenly, the handsome man in white raised his right hand and waved it gently.

Hundreds of Han military powerhouses suddenly emerged from the cliffs on both sides of the entrance to Jiange.

The next moment, bundles of dry firewood were thrown off the cliff. In just a moment, hundreds of bundles of dry firewood blocked the entrance of the canyon, and dozens of cans of turbulent oil were thrown off the cliff and shattered. Then dozens of torches were thrown off the cliff. As soon as the flames were touched, the dry firewood splashed with turbulent oil began to burn.

In a moment, a raging fire was already lit at the entrance of the canyon.

"Roar, rush forward!" Xiang Zhuang calmed down instead at the critical moment of life and death.

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang drew out his sword and rushed to the exit of the canyon. At this moment, the entrance to the Jiange had been blocked by a fire. If the Chu army wanted to escape from the sky, they could only rush forward!

On the cliff on the right, the white-clothed man raised his right hand and waved his lightly.

In an instant, thousands of Han archers emerged from the cliffs on both sides.

The next moment, dense arrows as dense as locusts shot down from the cliffs on both sides. Immediately afterwards, a large number of rolling wooden stones and flying spears were also raining. At this moment, the entire canyon was almost covered by the arrows, rocks and flying spears of the Han army. The Chu army in the canyon could not find a dead corner for hiding.

#############

In the valley, Xiang Zhuang was burying his head and running forward wildly, while waving a horizontal sword to desperately block the arrows falling from the sky. There were rocks and flying spears, and arrows were fine, but the threat of rolling wooden rocks and flying spears was too great. In just a moment, Xiang Zhuang had already hung many colors on his body, and he was almost penetrated by the flying spears several times!

Behind Xiang Zhuang, shrill screams kept sounding. Xiang Zhuang knew that the Tianlang soldiers were suffering a large number of casualties under the thunder of the Han army ambush. These were all veterans who had experienced many battles. However, now, they were ruined by his carelessness and quick success. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang felt so distressed that he was bleeding!

Xiang Zhuang didn't know that this time, even he himself might not be able to get out of Jiange!
