Baili Mao came to Xiangzhuang with a dirt face, so ashamed that he could hardly even raise his head. The two thousand elite cavalry who attacked were less than five hundred cavalry who could rush out alive. In this battle, the Chu army lost a lot!

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed! Brother, I am embarrassed Baili!" Baili Mao sobbed twice, and suddenly wiped his neck with a backhand. After ate such a big defeat and lost such a big person, even if the king doesn't punish him, even if the elder brother doesn't blame him, he will have no shame to live in this world again. It's too embarrassing. The Holy Hall

"Second brother!" Bailixian hurriedly stopped him, but Xiang Zhuang drew his sword and picked up the horizontal sword in Bailimao's hand. In the past ten years, although Xiang Zhuang's martial arts have not improved much, he probably won't be able to follow Hu Yan, Gao Chu, Jin Xiang and others in a single piece, but it is still more than enough to pick up the horizontal sword in Bailimao's hand.

"Zi Ming!" Xiang Zhuang shouted, "I misjudged you."

Bailixian also said: "Self-killing is a cowardly act. Second brother, you disappoint your elder brother very much."

"Brother..." Baili Maopu knelt down on the ground and burst into tears. He was really sad.

"Zi Ming, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. If you lose this time, you will win back next time. But if you commit suicide, you will never have a chance to win back!" Xiang Zhuang patted Bailimao's shoulder and said, "What's more, you didn't lose today. Although you lost two thousand people, the Qi army opposite was killed or injured."

There is a saying that Xiang Zhuang didn't say, and these two thousand cavalry were actually used to sacrifice from the beginning.

In the case where Han Xin was not sure about his life and death, it was undoubtedly unwise to rashly invest all his troops in the decisive battle with the Qi army. However, if Xiang Zhuang gave up like this, he was really unwilling to let him go. Therefore, dispatching a small number of cavalry to launch a tentative attack on the Qi army became the only choice, which was called gaining the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

If the Qi army is slow to react and inappropriately, it means that the Han Xin standing on the car is fake. At that time, Xiang Zhuang will invest all his troops in a decisive battle with the enemy without hesitation. However, the facts now prove that the guy on the other side is indeed Han Xin. If it weren't for Han Xin, how could he eat his two thousand cavalry in one bite?

However, this cannot be said in public, and the sacrifice sect has always been a taboo in military strategists. (")

Xiang Zhuang said again: "Zi Ming, from now on, you will be my Yulin Central Army General. All the surviving soldiers will be upgraded to one level, and the bounty will be given ten taels. All the fallen soldiers will be paid according to the highest standards!"

"Thank you, King!" Baili Mao was ashamed and grateful, and turned over and bowed down immediately.

"Thank you, King!" Behind Bailimao, hundreds of surviving soldiers all bowed down. At this moment, they wanted to go up the sword mountain and go down the oil pan for Xiangzhuang, and wished to give everything they had to Da Chu.

Xiang Zhuang said again: "The big flag sends an order, the entire army retreats, let's go to Di County."

Since Han Xin was not dead, there was no need to fight this battle. Xiang Zhuang did not think that Qi could be destroyed with 20,000 cavalry.

Don’t consider other factors first. The supply of military rations alone is a problem. You should know that the Chu army did not carry any military rations during this expedition. Since entering Qi, it has been robbed. Now the food that can be robbed near Linzi has been basically robbed, and the rest are hidden in several big cities, but the Chu army cannot rob it. There is no food. How can we fight this battle?

In another time and space, the Mongolian general Zhebe had a brilliant record of fighting for thousands of miles with 20,000 cavalry and destroying hundreds of countries along the way. However, the Slav Principality, which was the size of a palm, was destroyed by Zhebe. There were only a hundred soldiers and less than a thousand people. Can it be compared with Qi under Han Xin's rule?

So, leave as soon as possible!

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

Looking at the black Chu cavalry surging away like a tide, Han Xin finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The next moment, a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow suddenly came, and the blood on Han Xin's face disappeared completely, and replaced it with an unprecedented grayish look.

Cao Qi also changed his face in an instant. The king was able to stand by himself, but now, he almost relied on his skating to barely stand. Cao Qi turned around and shouted, "Imperial Doctor, husband Yang?"

When the Gongyang Imperial Doctor came forward, Han Xin was already in a semi-coma. While holding Lou Jing's hand, he repeatedly reminded Lou Jing: "Asia Prime Minister, the Chu army has retreated, remember to chase and kill for a while. Otherwise, Xiang Zhuang would probably be suspicious. When the Chu army comes back, then the big thing will be over..."

"Don't worry, my lord." Lou Jing nodded repeatedly, "I will arrange this..."

Han Xin then sighed quietly, tilted his head and fell into endless darkness.

Han He stepped forward two steps, grabbed the imperial physician Gongyang's clothes by his chest, and asked, "Honey Yang, is there any help from his father?"

The cold sweat of beans appeared on the forehead of the Gongyang Imperial Doctor. While wiping the cold sweat, he said, "I do my best, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to save the king."

"Hmph!" Han He then let go of the clothes of the Yang Doctor and said coldly, "If Father is good, I will not forgive you!" After saying this, Han He turned around and turned to Lou Jing and said, "Asia, I want to lead the army to pursue the Chu army in person. Please use the big banner of my father."

On the road leading from Linzi to Di County, the Chu army was marching westward in a mighty manner.

Among the troops, Xiang Zhuang rode a black horse and was moving forward slowly. As he walked, Xiang Zhuang's thick eyebrows suddenly frowned and turned around to ask Bailixian, "Ziliang, I always feel something is wrong."

Bailixian shook the feather fan all the time and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the king?"

Xiang Zhuang said thoughtfully: "Han Xin, who was in Huanglong, who met me that day, should be true. The world is so big, there may be people who look similar to Han Xin, but the kingly aura in Han Xin is wrong. It is the domineering spirit developed by the long-term pampering and living affair, but others cannot pretend to be."

Bailixian nodded and said thoughtfully: "But Han Xin must be the one who appeared in front of the two armies today."

Xiang Zhuang touched his chin and suddenly said, "So, is there such a possibility that Huang Longdang met with me was Han Xin himself, but he did not die under the arrow of Yuyuan, but was only seriously injured. Today, he was forcibly supporting the command of the army to fight, and his intention was to scare us away."

Bailixian paused the feather fan that was gently shaking in his hand and said, "Why is Han Xin's life now?"

"This is just my guess." Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "Look, the scout cavalry that was cut off in a moment will have news coming back. If the Qi army retreated to Linzi and did not come to chase him, it means that Han Xin was indeed in danger. But if the Qi army came to chase him in large quantities, Han Xin would probably be fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fast horse was already racing from behind.

As he approached, the cavalry on the horse's back slammed the reins. The mount under his crotch suddenly neighed and stood up. The front hooves kicked several times in the air. When they landed, they stopped the forward rushing. The cavalry bowed and said, "King, the army of Qi is catching up."

"Are you really catching up?" Xiang Zhuang frowned, "Have you seen the big banner of King Qi?"

"Yes." The cavalry said without hesitation, "The King of Qi is in front of him, and the army follows him and comes here!"

"Oh." Xiang Zhuang sighed and turned around and said to Bailixian, "It seems that Han Xin should be nothing serious. It's a pity that he couldn't shoot Han Xin even with such a good opportunity."

Bailixian smiled and shook his head, saying, "You must not be discouraged. Han Xin is a military strategist, so how can it be so easy to deal with? Besides, our goal has been achieved successfully this time. Qi's ambition to annex Zhao State was frustrated, and our Great Chu may have annexed an ally."

Xiang Zhuang nodded happily and said, "It's almost time for the Shang Dafu to arrive in Handan. I hope he can really convince the king and minister of Zhao to form an alliance with our great Chu."

Liu Bang has been in a bad mood recently. Although the biggest hidden danger of the Lü family was eliminated, Liu Bang found that he could not realize his will as he pleased, so he said that he would be the crown prince. According to Liu Bang's original intention, he naturally wanted to be the crown prince, but ministers such as Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Bai Mo all supported Liu Heng.

In addition to Lu Tai's last words, Liu Bang had to worry about it.

Just now, Concubine Qi cried in front of Liu Bang again, which made Liu Bang a little upset. He was hiding alone in Yongyan Palace and drinking, which made Liu Bang more upset. Compared with the prince's dispute, Liu Bang was even more worried about another thing. This matter was that Zhao State actually formed an alliance with Chu State!

This matter has to start more than a month ago. More than a month ago, Han Xin personally led a 100,000 army to attack Zhao State, and Zhao State also condemned Liu Bang for help. However, at that time, Liu Bang was busy cleaning up the Lu family's forces and didn't care at all. He just wrote a letter and sent someone to Han Xin to send it, but it seemed that he didn't play any role.

Since he asked for the title of King Qi, Han Xin has not listened to his greetings from Liu Bang.

Then, Xiang Zhuang unexpectedly sent troops and really saved Zhao State!

Then, Chu formed an alliance with Zhao, and it is said that Chu also gave Zhao a lot of benefits.

When he first heard this news, Liu Bang couldn't believe his ears. How could this be possible? The previous generation of Zhao King Zhang Er was his confidant of Liu Bang. Zhao State can be said to be supported by Liu Bang. Today, Zhao King Zhang Ao is his son-in-law of Liu Bang. With these two relationships, how could Zhao State betray the Han Dynasty and form an alliance with Chu State?

At this moment, Liu Bang really wanted to ask Xu Fu if the celestial phenomena had changed? His Liu Bang's imperial star was still as dazzling as before, and as popular as before? But unfortunately, since leaving Xianyang more than ten years ago, Xu Fu disappeared, and Liu Bang has never heard of her again.
