Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 103 Hulao Pass (1) (Congratulations to the leader of Jade Blood Sword [-])
Tian Heng sighed, and said to Wu She: "Although I intend to defect to the general, it is a pity that the general is far away in Qi, not to mention several counties separated by four or five hundred miles. There are also Liu Bang, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Wu Rui and Zang Tu's hundreds of thousands of troops blocked it, and they couldn't make it through, so what can we do?"

"Qi Di?" Wu She shook his head and said, "No, the general is now in Sanchuan County."

"Ah? Sanchuan County?!" Kuai Che and Tian Heng were shocked at the same time when they heard the words, their faces full of disbelief.

Didn't it mean that the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang had been trapped in the narrow area between Jibei, Xuejun, and Dongjun by Zhang Liang's four positives, six oddities, and ten-sided net?Why did Xiangzhuang suddenly arrive in Sanchuan County in the blink of an eye?Could it be that Xiang Zhuang and his remnants of the Chu army could really fly into the sky and escape from the ground?
Wu She smiled slightly, and said quite proudly: "To tell you the truth, the ten-sided net set up by Zhang Liang actually failed to trap the main force of our army. Relying on the strategist's golden cicada's plan to escape the shell, he crossed the river west for the third time and sneaked into Zhao's land, and now, he crossed the river four times and sneaked into Sanchuan County."

"The golden cicada has escaped its shell?" Kuai Che frowned and asked, "I don't know who is the military advisor of your army?"

Wu She bowed in the direction of Sanchuan County, and said loudly: "To tell you the truth, my military adviser is a great military strategist in the world, Wei Liao who was the former Qin Taiwei."

"It turned out to be Mr. Wei Liao." Tian Heng couldn't help admiring him.

Kuai Che sighed in his heart, but quickly adjusted his mood, and asked: "Dare to ask, sir, is the Chu army going to attack Hangu Pass next, and then they are going to attack Guanzhong?"

"Yes." Wu She nodded and said, "This is also the grand strategy set by our army division. Only by attacking Guanzhong and directly attacking Xianyang can Liu Bang's army be forced back to Guanzhong. Only by forcing Liu Bang to return to Guanzhong can he break his sweep. The general trend of the world, only in this way, the princes of the world will rebel against the Han and stand on their own, and my Great Chu will have a chance to revive."

Kuai Che nodded, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, I will offer a plan for Da Chu before I leave."

"Huh?" Wu She said in astonishment, "Sir, didn't you say you wanted to join my family's general? Why..."

Kuai Che shook his head and said: "The general already has Mr. Wei Liao as his assistant, so it's unnecessary to go down, so I won't join in the fun." After saying this, Kuai Che said, "But I want to remind you Sir, Chen Xi's tens of thousands of strong men have already broken through from Aocang, if this army is used well, it will be a big help."

Wu She patted his forehead, and suddenly said: "If sir hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about it."

Kuai Che smiled faintly, and said farewell to Wu She and Tian Heng, "Mr. Wu She, General Tian Heng, we will meet later."

Watching Kuai Che leave, Wu She sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."

Tian Heng also felt that it was a pity, but now he was more concerned about his own future, so he asked Wu She immediately: "Sir, what should we do now? Should we go to Sanchuan County by water and bypass Hulao Pass, or should we make a detour to Nanyang with hungry people?" County, pass through Wuguan and Xiaoguan, and sneak into Guanzhong to wait for the general?"

Wu She shook his head and said, "No, let's go after Chen Xi."

At three poles in the sun, Luoyang City had already been breached by the Chu army. Most of the less than [-] defenders in the city were killed, and the remaining less than [-] remnants retreated into the county guard's mansion, trying to resist.

Thousands of Chu troops swarmed in like a tide, and soon surrounded the county guard's mansion.

Jing Qian was wearing heavy armor, walking like flying, while looking up to the sky and roaring: "Set fire, set fire to me, burn them to death..."

Jing Qian once suffered a big loss when he attacked a small city in Linzi, so this time he learned how to behave, and instead of attacking by force, he changed to attack by fire.

"General, don't set fire!" Pang Yu rushed forward to stop him, "The general had a strict order before entering the city, telling us to surround the county guard's mansion and not attack without authorization!" More than 200 remnants of Pang Yu and Jin Xiang had been captured by Xiang Zhuang compiled into the camp of trapping, and at the same time Pang Yu and Jin Xiang were also appointed as the right and left captains of the camp, equivalent to Jing Qian's deputy.

"Bird!" Jing Qian waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "The general didn't let us attack because he was afraid that we would fall into the camp and cause unnecessary casualties. Now I use fire attack to burn down the county guard's mansion without a single soldier. How can the general blame us? Huh, not only will the general not blame us, he has to reward us!"

After finishing speaking, Jing Qian turned his head and yelled at the Sima, "What the hell are you doing standing there? Hurry up and find Chai He, and burn this Laoshizi County Sheriff's Mansion for me..."

Before the words fell, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance: "Jing Qian, how dare you disobey orders?!"

"Uh..." When Jing Qian looked back anxiously, he saw that Xiang Zhuang had already galloped down the street on a black horse, and immediately came forward to meet him, and said with a smile, "General, you Why are you here?"

"Hmph." Xiang Zhuang snorted, "If I don't come, you will burn Lu Ze's county guard's mansion, and you will destroy the plan to attack Hangu Pass!" After finishing speaking, Xiang Zhuang Zhuang said to Pang Yu again, "Pang Yu, you have done a good job. From now on, I will take care of Jing Qian for this general. Jing Qian is impulsive, so you should try to persuade him!"

"No!" Pang Yu cupped his hands and said solemnly, "The last general has orders!"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and immediately rode his horse to stand in front of the sheriff's mansion, and shouted: "Listen up, people inside, General Xiang Zhuang of Great Chu is here, and you have a quarter of an hour to surrender, otherwise, break the mansion, and you will be killed." Dogs don't stay!"

"Break the mansion, no dog or dog will be left behind!"

"Break the mansion, no dog or dog will be left behind!"

"Break the mansion, no dog or dog will be left behind!"

Jing Qian, Pang Yu, Jin Xiang and more than a thousand soldiers who were trapped in the formation immediately responded with three calls, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Hearing that Xiang Zhuang came here, all the soldiers of the Han army guarding the high walls, gates, yards, and roofs changed their expressions.

After a while, a trembling voice finally came from the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion: "Please, please, please, are you really Xiang Xiang, Xiang Zhuang, the general of the Great Chu Kingdom? The one who killed General Pankui? !"

"That's right!" Xiang Zhuang said in a loud voice, "This general is Xiang Zhuang, and I will replace it as if it were a fake."

The voice inside the gate said again: "That, that, if we surrender, can you spare me?"

My son? !When Xiang Zhuang heard the words, his heart moved slightly, and he responded immediately: "Of course, as long as you surrender, this general will spare you from death, and I will not kill any of you!"

"General, you must keep your word."

"This general always keeps his word." Xiang Zhuang said proudly.

"Quickly open the gate." The young man inside the gate gave an order, and the iron-clad gate of the Sheriff's Mansion slowly opened, and then a young man in armor and hair tied came out from the gate. First, he gave a long bow to Xiang Zhuang, then moved to the left side of the gate, and made a gesture of respectful invitation to enter.

By the Sishui River, Chen Xi led [-] strong men and was marching southward.

Although he had escaped from the prison of Ao Cang, Chen Xi didn't feel any joy in his heart, because although the world was big, he found that he had nowhere to go.

Liu Bang's lair in Guanzhong is also dangerous in Hangu and Hulao, so he can't enter it at all.

Hebei is the territory of Zhanger, Zangtu and Han Wangxin, and the river is separated by natural dangers, so they cannot cross the river.

To the east is the land of Liang and the land of Qi. Chen Xi would not be arrogant enough to think that he could defeat the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Peng Yue and Han Xin with [-] mobs.

Perhaps the only way to survive is to go south.

Along the river to the south are Linjiang Kingdom, Hengshan Kingdom, Huainan, and Jiangdong. Linjiang Wang Gongao, Hengshan Wang Wu Rui, Huainan Wang Yingbu, and Chen Xi didn't have the courage to challenge them. Only Jiangdong may still be able to gain a foothold. Unfortunately, this time It was not far to go to Jiangdong, and Chen Xi's [-] strong men didn't bring food, grass and luggage, so he didn't know where he would end up.

When Chen Xi was worrying about gains and losses, a towering mountain suddenly appeared in front of him, and the road extending forward also had a fork. One road went west into the mountain, and the other pointed straight to the south. Needless to say, this mountain must be Zhongyue Songshan is over, and you can go straight to Hulao Pass along the westward path!
When Chen Xi was staring at the majestic Songshan Mountain in a daze, the general Hou Chang chased up from behind, panting, "General, Liang Jun is chasing up!"

Chen Xi's complexion changed drastically and he said, "How many pursuers are there?"

"Less than a thousand people!" Hou Chang said, "Do you want to kill him for a while?!"

"What? Less than 1000 people!?" Chen Xi frowned, "Old Peng Yue doesn't think much of me, Chen Xi, if only 1000 people dare to come and kill my [-] army, it's really lifeless!" , Chen Xi looked around at the dozen or so generals around him again, and shouted, "All generals obey the order, rectify the soldiers of the headquarters, and line up to fight!"

The continuous sound of horns resounded through the sky in an instant, and the "Wei Army" who had been chaotically heading south stopped one after another and began to line up, but Minzhuang was Minzhuang. It was like a plate of loose sand, randomly piled up on the wilderness on the left side of Chidao.

On the other hand, Liang Jun, who was chasing from the north, had a neat lineup, and his armor looked like it.

At the circle of the two armies, a cavalry from the Liang army on the opposite side suddenly walked out, clasped his fists at Chen Xi and said, "Dare to ask, is the general of the Great Wei Kingdom Chen Xi in front?"

Chen Xi frowned and said, "Who is this step?"

The cavalry clasped his fists and said, "I'm Xia Wushe, General Xiang Zhuang of Great Chu's staff, don't you remember that I'm here?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Wu She!" Chen Xi immediately led dozens of horses out of the battle, and stopped when he was less than ten steps away from Wu She. He pointed to Tian Hengbu behind Wu She and asked, "Mr. Already betrayed Chu and returned to Liang? Are you here today under the order of King Peng Yue of Liang to lead troops to intercept and kill your old friend?"

"No." Wu She shook his head and said, "I was ordered by the general to come to separate Peng Yue and Lu Ze, and now the two have been tricked, and the Liang army under Aocang City has already fought with the Han army. The mission is completed, I was going to rush back to Sanchuan County after I left, but I didn't want to hear that the general had broken through from Aocang on the way, so I came here specially to meet him!"
