Humane Yongchang

Chapter 462
"General."

Just when Chen Dao was hesitating, the head of the guard outside the tent quickly walked into the barracks, holding a bamboo tube with flaming pheasant feathers in both hands, bowed and said: "General Zhengbei sent the battle report through the Special Warfare Bureau."

'This guy finally remembered to pass the battle report back! '

Chen Dao got up immediately, walked to the head of the bodyguard in three steps at a time, took the bamboo tube and crushed it, shook out the silk cloth inside the bamboo tube, unfolded it, and glanced at it quickly.

In the battle report sent by Li Xin, two things were recorded.

The first thing: He has sent a letter to Wang Ben of the Pingxi Army, asking him to send troops to support Fukouxing as soon as possible.

The second thing: Han Xin used less than [-] soldiers and horses, and half of the soldiers and horses are still missing.

Li Xin's battle report is exactly the same as Chen Dao's previous battle report to Li Xin. They only describe the actual situation without any subjective speculation, so as not to affect the other party's judgment.

But after Chen Dao read it word by word for the second time, he felt a chill in his heart, and dense beads of sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead.

'It's dangerous, it's dangerous...'

He rejoiced repeatedly in his heart, turned around and strode back to the top of the handsome tent, picked up the water bowl and drank it in one gulp, but his mouth was still dry.

Li Xin's battle report came too timely, so timely that Chen Dao was a little suspicious of Li Xin, did he deliberately hold back his bad jokes...

If this battle report came earlier.

He doesn't have any messy thoughts at all, and guards his Jingxing Pass steadfastly.

If this battle report came later.

Then he guessed that he would not receive this battle report... In fact, although he was hesitating just now, his heart was already inclined to lead the troops out of the customs, harass the Han Xin Department from the rear, and hold back his southward steps.

He was stationed at Jingxing Pass to prevent Han Xin from advancing eastward.

If Han Xin really turned south, he would go east to Jizhou via Fukouxing.

Then it would be meaningless for his army to stay in Jingxing Pass.

In his previous calculations, even if Han Xin was planning to lure him out of Jingxing Pass, even without the natural danger of Jingxing Pass, he and Li Xin still have 15 soldiers and horses.

The strength of the two armies is similar, and his Huben army is not a vulnerable mob. Even if he cannot defeat Han Xin, he will never be defeated in a short-handed confrontation!
As long as he and Li Xin don't rush forward lightly, fight Han Xin steadily and hold him back for three or two days, wouldn't it be enough to have hands?

When Xiang Yu led the army to kill them, they launched an encirclement again, ambushed on all sides, defeated the Chinese army, beheaded the general and captured the flag, captured in one fell swoop, and won a complete victory...

The 15 Huben Army fought against the [-] to [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army, not seeking a quick victory, but only delaying them for three or two days.

No matter who said, his calculation is reasonable, right?
It can be regarded as giving Han Xin enough face, right?
But now... If Chen Dao guessed correctly, the [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army who robbed the pass yesterday are now sitting in a dangerous terrain west of Jingxing Pass, waiting for him to lead troops to deliver goods to their door.

Even though each is their own master and confronts each other, Chen Dao still can't help but want to give Han Xin a thumbs up and say: I am convinced!

This guy is too monstrous, he can compete with his own king!
The seemingly simple strategy of playing east and west and luring snakes out of the hole, was stunned by this evildoer to play out the effect of looking at flowers in a fog, in which the real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, and the virtual and the real.

Among them, the control of the battlefield situation and the grasp of the mentality of the enemy and the enemy are simply daunting to Chen Dao!
Sure enough, the gap between people is sometimes bigger than the gap between humans and dogs...

'Now I can't retreat, what choice will Han Xin make? '

Chen Dao rubbed his forehead and thought hard: "Will it turn the virtual into reality, push the boat along with the current, and go all the way south to attack Fukouxing?"Or will they return, take the [-] defeated soldiers outside the pass, and hurry back to Jiuyuan? '

'Also, does this guy know that Xiang Yu has already surrendered to my big man, and he is on his way to lead his troops right now? '

He couldn't figure out the result.

The old fog has just lifted.

A new fog enveloped his field of vision again.

He suddenly woke up.

When fighting against an enemy general as cunning as a fox like Han Xin, one must not try to grasp his mind.

As long as such thoughts come together, he has already fallen into his trap and is controlled by others at every step...

……

"Report..."

Inside the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Camp at an unnamed mountain depression, the orderly rushed into the simple tent with loud shouts, and said with one knee, "Report to Commander..."

Before he could report, Han Xin, who was above the handsome tent, rushed down quickly, and asked first, "But there is news from Jingxing Pass?"

He hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, his face was haggard and haggard, but his pair of eagle eyes, which became more and more fierce, shone like a feline at night.

The messenger was stunned for a few seconds, then lowered his head, bowed his hands respectfully, and said, "Commander, the scouts sent in the direction of Feihuxing reported that there were traces of the Han army in the north of our Heavenly Army. The division's army flag has about [-] soldiers, all of whom are cavalry..."

"cavalry?"

Han Xin stared intently at the messenger in front of him, repeated the word in a low voice, as if he was puzzled, but also as if he was puzzled, and then asked again: "Is there an urgent report from the direction of Jingxing Pass?"

The messenger lowered his head even lower, and said in a respectful low voice, "Return to Commander, I have not received any news from the direction of Jingxing Pass."

Han Xin's face was expressionless, but his big hand holding the saber suddenly burst out with veins.

He closed his eyes, pressed his saber with thunder clouds between his brows and eyes, paced up and down in the handsome tent, walking heavily, back and forth, circle after circle.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly pulled out his sword and cut the exquisite bronze oil lamp tree into two sections.

He opened his eyes, and shouted angrily with veins all over his head, "I pass on the order of my commander-in-chief, and the three armies will pull out the stronghold and return to Mount Heng immediately!"

"only!"

The orderly responded loudly with relief, and rushed out of the commander's tent.

Han Xin looked at the back of the messenger who seemed to be fleeing, and kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

He didn't know what was wrong.

Chen Dao, who was supposed to be caught out of Jingxing Pass by him, has not left the pass for a long time.

Xiang Yu, who shouldn't have arrived in Jingxing so quickly, arrived ahead of schedule.

This front and back made the battle situation completely out of his control, falling in the direction he least wanted to see.

According to his pre-deduction.

Chen Dao would definitely be fished out of Jingxing Pass by him, or he would be completely wiped out or seriously injured, and he would then easily capture Jingxing Pass with his troops.

Then, he will use the natural danger of Jingxingguan as a barrier to resist the pursuit of the Han army in turn, so as to escape the three-sided encirclement of the Han army and completely get rid of the pursuit of the Han army!
Right now, the main force of the Han army is concentrated in the Heluo Basin and the Taihang Mountains. Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou are defenseless. He can take advantage of the gap and sweep the three states, grabbing soldiers, food, and supplies...

With soldiers, food and supplies, and Yingzheng's Yongzhou army echoing in the west, is he still afraid of the Han army?
It is the Han army who should be afraid of him, Han Xin!

This is by no means whimsical on his part, there is a reason for him to make such an arrangement!

As early as the Battle of Julu, he had studied the resumes of Li Xin and Chen Dao, and he still remembers them deeply.

Chen Dao, the general of Han Zhenbei, the commander of the second army of the Huben Army, was born in the Chen family of Chen County. He was a retainer of the King of Han. With his bright ambitions, he won the reliance of the King of Han, and he was promoted all the way to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Han Huben Army with the posture of a song general. His status was so high that Meng Tian and Li Xin were second only to the two major generals among the millions of Han troops. The highest official.

Like this kind of confidant in the confidant of the King of Han, how could he sit back and watch Han Xin collapse and destroy the Great Han's plan for the Northern Expedition?
If it wasn't for confusing Chen Dao and making Chen Dao believe that he was determined to go south, how could he have sacrificed [-] loyal and brave sons to Jingxing Pass in vain?
But now, Chen Dao was guarding the Jingxing Pass tightly, and Xiang Yu came with a new force...

It is obviously unrealistic to think about storming Jingxing Pass!

Taking advantage of the trend to go south, if Xiang Yu did not arrive, he could still concentrate his superior forces, penetrate Li Xin's troops, and successfully break through before the Hanping West Army blocked Fukouxing.

Now that Xiang Yu has arrived, if he goes south forcibly, there will be a blocker in the front, a flat-headed brother in the middle, and a wolf in the back. Even if he is a strong man with a broken wrist, he will never break out.

For the current plan, the only way is to take advantage of the fact that Xiang Yu's main force has not yet arrived, Chen Dao dare not go out of the retreat, and Li Xin's alone army is difficult to take the lead.

Han Xin thought over and over for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.

How to turn defeat into victory, and inexplicably turn into a complete defeat?

He closed his red eyes with difficulty, and whispered unwillingly: "The world and the earth are all working together, and the hero is not free when transported..."

……

"what?"

Li Xin stood up abruptly in astonishment, and knocked the food table in front of him to the ground: "Han Xin packed his bags and returned?"

The messenger who reported from below arrived: "Return to the general, according to the report from the scouts, the Yellow Turban Army on the road north of our army camp is indeed moving northward!"

Li Xin bent down to pick up the roasted leg of lamb that had fallen on the ground, and the clean roasted meat was covered with dust, and he laid it in front of the door with a big mouthful, and tore off a large piece of lamb.

'Han Xin suddenly retreated, there are only three possibilities! '

While chewing, he racked his brains to think about the reasons for Han Xin's sudden withdrawal: "The first one is that Jingxing Pass was broken, and he hurried back to take over Jingxing Pass." '

'The second is to give up going south and go north instead or return to Jiuyuan. '

'The third type is that Xiang Yu's monster-slaying army has arrived. '

'Which kind will it be? '

Li Xin pondered for a long time and still could not be sure, until he habitually turned over the leg of lamb in his hand, only to find that the leg of lamb had turned into a bare leg bone, he suddenly realized: "Hey, whoever he is Woolen cloth?What if he went back to celebrate his birthday?A certain family will not be able to make it as it wishes! '

As soon as he thought of this, he threw away the bare leg of lamb in his hand, strode out of the handsome tent, and shouted loudly: "The order of a certain family, the whole army will immediately break out of the camp and form a long snake formation." , and chase down the fleeing Bingzhou Yellow Turban Bandits!"

The eyes of all the officers of the Huben Army around them lit up when they heard the words!
Chase?

General, if you want to talk about this, we won't be sleepy!
……

Thirty miles north of Jingxing Pass, on the banks of the Hutuo River.

Tens of thousands of high-headed horses are scattered on both sides of the winding river to drink and rest, and the scene is spectacular.

On the black background with gold lettering on the flag of Longxiang Zhan with galloping horses, Xiang Yu held soybeans in his big hands to feed his mount, the black horse.

He has always been very patient, even all the military affairs in the army are left to Long Qi to take care of, but he is extra patient when dealing with his halberd and horse...

Guan Ying was also by his side, wiping the mount with his own hands with a wet sweat towel to cool it down.

Suddenly, a soldier with a small falcon standing on his shoulder passed through the surrounding short soldiers as if entering no one's land, and walked quickly to Guan Ying's side.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu looked at the soldier in surprise. He sent the cavalry of his monster-killing army with Longxiang's division to go south first, and had a lot of contact with Guan Ying along the way. Shocking, taciturn, but governing the army with strict laws and strict rules, who is this soldier of Long Xiang?How can we go directly to Guanying without simultaneous interpretation.

When Guan Ying saw the visitor, he nodded kindly to him, and took out a piece of jerky that was as thick as a thumb from the dry food bag at his waist, and fed it to the falcon on the visitor's shoulder, and then took the The bamboo tubes in the hands of the soldiers should be inspected for wax paint and seals as usual...

"What's the matter?"

Xiang Yu noticed Guan Ying's strangeness, and became more and more curious. He pretended to be nonchalant and leaned over to ask.

Guan Ying glanced at him, pondered for a moment, then pointed to the soldiers in front of him who hadn't left yet and introduced: "General Xiang, this is the lieutenant colonel of the Special Operations Bureau accompanying the army, the name of our Han Special Operations Bureau, the general must have heard of it." ?”

The soldiers clasped their fists to Xiang Yu respectfully and said, "The last general, Guan Xun, pays homage to the general!"

Xiang Yu took a surprised look at this young soldier who was wearing ordinary soldier armor and had a not-so-amazing appearance, and nodded politely... The name of the Special Warfare Bureau is very famous among the aristocratic families in Kyushu!
Some people say that the special war bureau is the eagle dog under the command of Han Wang, which specializes in hunting hungry wolves and cunning foxes.

Others say that the special war bureau is a short soldier in the hands of the King of Han, killing people invisible.

Guan Ying also handed the silk cloth in his hand to Xiang Yu: "The special warfare bureau is equipped with specific personnel in all combat units above the battalion level of our Han army. Except for assignments, they neither participate in battles nor in military management, and decide on their own actions...General Xiang can understand them as scouts, orderers, the strongest kind!"

"It's like now, if the general temporarily requests a friendly combat unit to fight together, and he doesn't know the location and contact information of that friendly army, he can ask the special warfare bureau to contact him on his behalf. As long as it is a place covered by my king's grace, the special warfare bureau will There is a method of communication, quick as one day, slow as three or five days, and there will be an answer!"

While reading the small print on the handkerchief, Xiang Yu listened to Guan Ying's brief introduction. Although his face was calm, his heart was astonished as if he was listening to a scripture from heaven.

Dahan can be contacted anywhere?
Doesn't that mean that we can directly contact Xiangxian's family now?
In an era when transportation was basically based on walking and communication was basically based on roaring, the shock brought by things like communication networks was no less shocking than when the telephone was born.

"How do you say this?"

Xiang Yu suppressed his surprise, raised the silk cloth in his hand and asked.

Without thinking, Guan Ying clasped his fists and said, "The last general will obey the general's order!"

"Shall we talk?"

Xiang Yu turned his head and glanced at the endless horse herd, and laughed loudly: "If we want to talk, then we should defeat the yellow scarf bandits and kill Han Xin!"

He pulled the black horse and turned on the horse, and the moment one man and one horse merged into one, a savage and domineering wild aura gushed out like a storm.

Guan Ying raised his head, looked up at Xiang Yu's majestic figure shading the sun, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said solemnly: "General, you must not underestimate Han Xin. This man has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and his military skills are superb..."

"What are you afraid of!"

Xiang Yu interrupted Guan Ying's advance contemptuously, and with one arm pulled up the Longxiang battle flag, which was as thick as a bucket and as high as four feet, and laughed boldly: "My monster-killing army never asks how many enemy troops there are, only asks Where is the enemy army... Second and third sons, get on your horse and attack!"
