Chapter 52
Two days later, Xiang Han indeed rushed to the old camp with more than 2,000 remaining soldiers.
When two lonely troops suddenly met at the end of their journey, they were naturally inexplicably happy. Xiang Han first came forward to see Xiang Zhuang, and met Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhonglimei, and Yu Ziqi one by one. When talking about the defeat at Gaixia, the death of Xiang Yu, and the death of Xiao Gongjiao in battle, everyone couldn't help but sigh again, and then Xiang Zhuang dispatched a camp to settle more than 2,000 remaining soldiers.
Then Xiangzhuang distributed wine and meat, ordered women and children to boil water and cook rice, and welcomed more than 2,000 remaining soldiers.
There was still a lot of food left in Shouchun City. After hiding and transporting it many times, all of them have been transported back to the old camp, which is almost enough for the five thousand soldiers and five thousand women and children in the old camp to eat for three months. However, there is not much wine or meat. I guess there will be no more meal after this meal tonight. If you want to eat it, you can only kill the horse or go hunting.
The torches in the village were clear. The generals, lieutenants, Sima, and military marquis were eating large pieces of meat and drinking in the hall. The soldiers were also eating voraciously outside and feasting. Although they had no alcohol, they could still eat meat. Especially the more than 2,000 remaining soldiers from the Yangtze River that had just emerged from the deep mountains and forests, they were even more happy.
Xiangzhuang only drank a few glasses of water and wine, and accompanied by Wei Liao to return to his wooden house.
Wei Liao once again took action, and after cleaning Xiang Zhuang's wound, he applied medicine and bandaged it again. While bandaging it, Wei Liao said with great emotion: "General, your wound has healed very well. In this case, it will be almost healed in seven or eight days. Only within a hundred days, it is better for General to not use a knife and a sword."
Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, hurting his muscles for a hundred days, he knew this.
Wei Liao cleaned his hands in the wooden basin, and was about to turn around and leave, but he was stopped by Xiang Zhuang.
Seeing Xiang Zhuang's eyebrows slightly locked, he seemed to have something to worry about, Wei Liao knelt down and asked, "General, do you have anything to tell me?"
Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "Military advisor, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Chu army, I decided to reorganize my military equipment and reduce the strength of the middle, left, right, front and back troops. From them, select elite troops to enrich my personal military camp, and then expand the personal military camp into a personal guard. Set up a camp and a Nufeng camp first. What do you think?"
The so-called army reorganization is just to put it nicely. In fact, it is to reduce the troops of generals such as Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Yu Ziqi and Xiang Han, and then enrich all the elites into the personal guards. At present, the Chu army has few troops. Doing so can strengthen the personal guards directly under Xiang Zhuang and indeed improve combat effectiveness.
As for the trap camp, the setting of the first camp and the Nufeng camp is to deal with different combat tasks.
In Xiangzhuang's idea, the camp will be composed of all heavy infantry, namely the military soldiers who are trapped in the formation. The number of military soldiers who are trapped in the formation is about one thousand. This heavy infantry will be the main force of the Chu army's field battle. Xiangzhuang has even had a candidate for the camp of the camp, and he is Jing Qian.
In addition, the trap camp must be equipped with the same number of light soldiers. When marching, it must carry nearly 100 kilograms of equipment for heavy armed soldiers, and act as auxiliary forces during combat. Once there is a gap in heavy infantry, elite soldiers will be immediately selected from the light soldiers to make up. In other words, this light soldier is not just a simple auxiliary army, but a replacement for heavy armed soldiers.
The so-called "first climb to the camp" will be composed of all the light soldiers and dead soldiers. The "first climb to the camp" will not wear armor or helmets, but only wear cloth clothes, and tie a round bun that symbolizes the identity of the dead soldiers!
The number of light soldiers and deaths is about 500, and in the future it will be the vanguard suicide squad for the Chu army to attack cities and destroy villages.
The so-called Nufeng Camp is composed of all kinds of archers. The archers are not wearing armor, helmets, but only wearing cloth clothes, and are also tied with hair slanted. The weapons are short swords and long bows, and the number of people is about 500. In the future, the long-range suppression of the enemy on the battlefield will be achieved by Nufeng Camp. The candidate for the Nufeng Captain is undisputed, so it is naturally Gao Chu!
After listening to Xiang Zhuang's introduction to the third battalion of the Nufeng, Wei Liao nodded repeatedly: "I fully agree with the general's approach. In this way, the combat effectiveness of these three thousand personal troops will become extremely strong. However, regarding the selection of elite troops, should we discuss with Xiang Han, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Yu Ziqi and other generals first?"
"That's natural." Xiang Zhuang nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Gaochu!Gaochu!"
Xiang Zhuang shouted twice, but no one answered outside. Wei Liao couldn't help but caress his beard and smiled: "This kid didn't see him in the big village just now, I'm afraid he's going to pester Qin Ji and teach him to read."
"This guy is really good at picking things." Xiang Zhuang shook his head and shouted again: "Jing Qian!"
There was still no one outside to answer, Xiangzhuang yelled twice again. This time someone finally came in, but it was Gongsun Sui, the general of the rear army, Xiao Gongjiao and five hundred troops, who were killed in battle. The rear army had already been killed in name only. The dozens of people rescued by Gongsun Sui and others were all incorporated into the personal military camp by Xiangzhuang, and Gongsun Sui was even appointed as the chief of the personal military military camp by Xiangzhuang.
Gongsun then bowed to Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao, and replied, "General, the general of the former army came here in person just now and called the Marquis of Right Jun to the school grounds in front of Dazhai for a competition."
"Why did Jing Qian compete with Huan Chu again?" Xiang Zhuang was quite helpless.
Gongsun Sui said, "General, if you have anything to ask the villain, it's the same."
"You?" Xiang Zhuang looked at the bandage wrapped around Gongsun Sui's chest and said with concern, "Has the injury been healed?"
"It's not a problem." Gongsun Sui hurriedly said, "I just suffered some skin trauma, and now I'm almost done."
"Okay, you'll invite Xiang Han, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Yu Ziqi and the others." After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said again, "Also, get Gao Chu and Qin Ji back, I have something to tell them to do!"
"No!" Gongsun then bowed and took the order.

Under the dark night, Gao Chu held Qin Ji's left hand with his left hand, and his right hand held Qin Ji's right hand. His entire chest and abdomen were almost completely attached to Qin Ji's ear, and he said, "Yes, that's it, don't be distracted. I believe that I will definitely be able to shoot the torch in front of me, you will definitely be able to!"
The next moment, Qin Ji was relaxed and heard a buzzing sound. The torch from a hundred steps away was extinguished.
"Ah, I shot it! I shot it!" Qin Ji jumped up in surprise. She didn't realize that Gao Chu's lustful eyes were passing over her slender jade neck and kept looking in. It was a pity that Qin Ji was wearing a deep dress with cross collar and right lapel, wrapped tightly below the jade neck, and could not see any spring light at all.
Gao Chu let go of Qin Ji's little hand and then slid down. When he was about to land on Qin Ji's erect buttocks, there were suddenly rustling footsteps behind him. Then Gongsun Sui's voice came: "Zuo Junhou, Chief Qin Tun, it turns out that you are practicing arrows here, it's really easy to find a villain."
Gao Chu had no choice but to turn around and said angrily: "What's the matter, Gongsun Sui?"
"The villain doesn't know." Gongsun Sui shook his head silly. Gao Chu suddenly widened his eyes. When he was about to run away, Gongsun Sui said again, "But the general is looking for you, saying that there is something to tell you to do."
Gao Chu's anger that had just aroused suddenly disappeared. Seeing that Qin Ji had already left there, he had to follow Gongsun Sui back to the headquarters unhappily, but he kept blaming Gongsun Sui in his heart. This kid came very badly. He didn't come early or late. But he came at this time and didn't disturb his good affairs of Gao Junhou!

When Xiang Zhuang was determined to reorganize the army, Liu Bang also had the idea of seizing military power again.
After the army entered Ruyin, all the princes had nothing to do all day long and often got drunk and fought randomly. Liu Bang was busy trying to persuade the fight these days. In order to support the hundreds of thousands of coalition forces gathered in Ruyin, he consumed a lot of food and grass every day. Although there was still a lot of surplus grain in Ao Cang, Liu Bang still felt a little sad.
Liu Bang thought that it seemed like a big deal that hundreds of thousands of troops would be defended here like this, but if he let the princes return to their respective fiefs like this, he was really worried. After thinking about it, Liu Bang had the idea of seizing military power again. As long as he seized the military power of the princes and asked them to bring a small number of personal soldiers back to the fiefdom, wouldn't it be settled?
However, as soon as Liu Bang spoke, he was unanimously opposed by Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
Zhang Liang advised Liu Bang earnestly: "King, you can't be too hasty. Although Xiang Yu is dead, Xiang Zhuang is still alive, and the remnants of the Chu army in various places have not given up on resistance. The most important thing is that the Qin King's jade seal is still in the hands of Xiang Zhuang. Without this jade seal, you can't ascend the throne and become emperor."
"Yes, king." Chen Ping also said, "Without the Qin King's Jade Seal, you will not have the title of righteousness. Even if you force yourself to ascend the throne, all the princes will not be convinced, and the rich families in the world will not be willing to return. Now you take action rashly. If any princes force them to rebel, the situation will be difficult to deal with. Even if it is King Qi Han Xin, you may not help the king suppress all the princes."
"I just say it." Liu Bang was extremely thick-skinned and immediately went downstairs and said, "Just talk, haha."
