Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 141 Zhang Liang Uses Strategies

"My lord, your clothes."

When Liu Bang was shocked, Mrs. Qi had already dressed and walked out of the tent, holding Liu Bang's dark coat in her hand, and then carefully put the dark coat on for Liu Bang. , who was completely naked, Xia Houying and the soldiers outside the tent saw his crotch at a glance.

After a while, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping also arrived one after another, and the group of people came straight to the supply camp.

Before reaching the main supply camp, Li Shang greeted him dejectedly, and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, please punish me."

Liu Bang waved his hands and said anxiously: "Don't talk about this first, put out the fire first!"

Chen Ping sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, looking at the fire, I'm afraid there is no way to save it."

Liu Bang was dumbfounded when he heard the words, only then did he realize that the fire in the supply camp was completely out of control, and no one could get in at all, so how to fight the fire?It's just that all the siege equipment and food and grass in the camp are gone. Now, what will the 10,000+ army eat?What will be used to attack Hangu Pass next?Cutting wood to make long ladders?

"Where's Lu Wan?" Liu Bang roared angrily, "Where's that idiot?!"

Li Shang hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, General Lu Wan has already gone to chase and kill the bandits with his trilogy."

Lu Wan is the general in charge of the supply camp. Liu Bangneng called him an idiot, but Li Shang and the others dare not, even Zhang Liang, dare not make such a big deal, because Lu Wan is Liu Bang's best friend. On the same day, Lu Wan, who grew up playing with mud together since childhood, ranked Liu Bang's confidants, and Lu Wan was definitely the number one confidant.

"Thieves?!" Liu Bang became more and more furious, "Where did these bandits come from?"

Li Shang was speechless, because when he arrived, the entire supply camp had already been reduced to flames.

The thieves who came to sneak attack had already retreated. Although Lu Wan had already led the troops to chase them down, Li Shang suspected that Lu Wan would not be able to catch the whereabouts of the thieves at all, because the thieves obviously came prepared and the sneak attack succeeded Then retreat immediately, and never get entangled with you, how can Lu Wan catch the thief's whereabouts with that human head?
Li Shang's guess was accurate, and it wasn't long before Lu Wan came back dejectedly with his soldiers.

Lu Wan looked miserable, her hair was disheveled, her face was pitch black, and her war robe was torn apart by something.

Liu Bang was originally very angry, but when he saw Lu Wan's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but think of the scene where they played together when they were children, and when they grew up, they drank and played with widows together, and his heart softened immediately.

"You, you." Liu Bang touched Lu Wan's back and sighed, "This time I killed the widow."

"Aji, hit me." Lu Wan said miserably, "If you hit me, I'll feel better."

"Is there any use for beating you?" Liu Bang snorted, and said angrily, "Even if you are killed, these two hundred catties of meat are not enough to feed two meals for hundreds of people." After saying this, Liu Bang sighed again Said, "Hey, without siege equipment, you can build simple long ladders, but without military rations, you can't let 10,000+ soldiers fight hungry?"

After all, Liu Bang turned his attention to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping for help.

Chen Ping sighed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Sanchuan County has no food to collect. Now that the matter has come to an end, Your Majesty should go to Hedong in person. Han Land has a bumper harvest last year, and it should not be a problem to provide tens of thousands of shi for military rations."

Hedong County is the feudal state of Han Wangxin, and only Liu Bang can get military rations, and others will definitely not be able to.

"Okay." Liu Bang nodded, and said helplessly, "The widow will go to Hedong now, and you, Chen Ping, will go too."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bang looked back at Zhou Bo's generals who had just arrived, and said to Zhang Liang: "Generals, Zifang, I leave it to you to attack Hangu Pass."

After all, Liu Bang took Chen Ping away.

Generals Zhang Liang and Zhou Bo sent Liu Bang to the riverside ferry before returning.

When they returned to the camp, it was already daylight, Zhang Liang invited Lu Wan into the big tent again, and asked, "General Lu Wan, can you tell us more about what happened last night?"

"What else is there to say?" Lu Wan said with a dark face, "The supply camp is at the end of the entire camp, and it will never be counterattacked by the Guan Chu army, so I didn't care at all, but who ever Thinking about it, I was really attacked by a sneak attack, and I don’t know which kind of thief dared to break ground on Tai Sui’s head after eating the bear’s heart and leopard’s guts.”

Zhang Liang frowned and said, "Didn't the general face to face with the raiding bandits?"

Lu Wan said impatiently: "It's a face-to-face meeting. It's just a group of ragged and hungry people. I don't know where they came from, but they all brought fire oil. They sprinkled things when they saw something." oil, then set it on fire, and in just a few moments, the whole camp was on fire, and it was too late to save them."

"What happened later?" Zhang Liang said, "Where did the bandits go after they set the fire?"

That's why Lu Wan thought it was a group of little thieves. If they were really little thieves, how could they have so much fuel?

"Afterwards, this group of thieves ran along the southern foothills. I led the army to chase for more than half an hour. When they chased outside a valley, the group of thieves disappeared into the valley. If there is an ambush, there will be no pursuit." After Lu Wan finished speaking, she added, "There is no way to enter the forest, isn't that what the art of war says?"

Zhang Liangdao: "General, can you take me down to see this valley?"

"What?" Lu Wan said unhappily, "Zhang Liang, do you suspect that I am lying?"

"Uh, no, no, of course not." Zhang Liang said hastily, "I just want to see it for myself."

"Forget it." Lu Wan nodded, then turned around and shouted, "Lu Yi, take Mr. Zhang Liang to that valley, and see if I have lied to others, hum!" Lu Yi is Lu Wan's nephew, and also a The captain of Lu Wan's personal army, Lu Yi took two steps forward, bowed his hands to Zhang Liang and said, "Sir, please."

Half an hour later, Lu Yi brought Zhang Liang, Zhou Bo, and Zhou Guanfu to the valley with hundreds of riders.

In the valley, Zhang Liang really found traces of the army passing by, because many weeds had been trampled down, and many bushes had been cut by knives and swords, and the stubble at the break was also new.

However, when Zhang Liang and the others tracked down a cliff, all traces suddenly disappeared.

"Strange!" Zhou Guanfu, who was leading the way with a pair of iron halberds, frowned and said in bewilderment, "Why are the traces of the bandits gone? Could it be that they turned into mice and hid in the ground, or turned into birds from the sky?" flew away?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intention, so Zhang Liang, Zhou Bo and others couldn't help raising their heads, and looked at the cliff standing above them. go up!However, the careful Zhang Liang still found out that a small tree growing horizontally from the gap in the middle of the cliff was actually broken in the middle.

Zhang Liang's line of sight continued to extend upwards along the cliff, and finally saw a large area of ​​mountain vines hanging upside down like a curtain from the cliff. The mountain vines were lush and lush, and all the nearby cliffs were covered with vines. Such a mountain vine nodded, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth.

Inside Hangu Pass, Pang Yu was taking out his only wine and meat to reward [-] warriors.

This sneak attack went smoothly beyond Pang Yu's imagination. The chief general of the Han army's supply camp obviously didn't expect to be attacked. He didn't even send a patrol team at night, and only a few sentries were set up around the entire camp. As a result, Pang Yu only used a few arrows to deal with these sentries, and then sneaked into the supply camp without anyone noticing.

By the time the Han army in the camp found out, the Chu army had already poured fuel and started setting fire.

The sneak attack was successful, and the retreat was also very smooth. Although there was a Han army chasing down the Chu army biting the tail, when they chased outside the canyon, the Han army did not dare to chase inside, which also made Pang Yu take the opportunity to attack The plan for an ambush fell through, but Pang Yu was already satisfied that this attack could destroy all the heavy siege equipment and rations of the Han army.

With the loss of the Han army, it will be difficult to pose a real threat to Hangu Pass in a short period of time. If the general can take this opportunity to rectify the situation in the pass, gather all the powerful families in the pass, and then pull a large army, then Maybe there is a chance to seize Liu Bang's foundation in Guanzhong. In this way, the general situation of Chu and Han will be reversed immediately!
"Come on, brothers!" Pang Yu raised the pottery bowl and said loudly, "Open it to eat, open it to drink!"

"Drink!" The five hundred elites got up one after another, and raised their big bowls to Pang Yu enthusiastically.

After this sneak attack, Pang Yu's prestige in the army was quickly established. Whether it was more than 200 veterans who fell into the battle, or those new recruits who came in, when they looked at Pang Yu again, their eyes showed a trace of reverence. In this way, if you have the ability, the soldiers will obey you, but if you have no ability, no one will fuck you if you talk about it.

Outside Hangu Pass.

The Han army was cutting wood to build ladders. The heavy camp was attacked last night, and all the siege tools such as ladders, well rails, siege vehicles, and catapults were all burned. Now, the Han army can only cut wood to build long ladders to attack Fortunately, the valleys on both sides of the road are full of slender and straight trees, and it is no problem to build a long ladder six to seven feet long.

While building the simple long ladder, Zhang Liang asked Zhou Guanfu to select [-] sharp men from the army.

Zhou Guanfu was injured when he attacked Hulao Pass more than ten days ago. He was stabbed six or seven times on his arms, thighs, and waist, but his injuries were not particularly serious. The general who has been raised for so many days has recovered a lot now. After all, he is a strong boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, and his recovery ability is amazing.

Meeting Zhang Liang, Zhou Guanfu said proudly: "Don't worry, sir, the general will be the first one to climb to the top of the wall!"

"Climb to the top of the city?" Zhang Liang shook his head and said with a smile, "No, the general is wrong, he should go down to the top of the city."

"Huh, going down to the top of the city?" Zhou Guanfu was immediately confused, going down to the top of the city?How to play?
