Chapter 235
Give Aocang's Qin army guard Sima Jin 1 more chances, and even if Sima Jin performs at a super level every time, he draws two strong bows and shoots an arrow at the same time, Sima Jin will never hit the distance again Targets outside the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

But the thing is so miraculous, Xiang Yu's location is almost twice the range of ordinary bows and arrows from Sima Jin's location, so far away that Sima Jin can't see Xiang Yu's figure clearly, Sima Jin risked his arm injury, Gritting his teeth, he shot an arrow to vent his anger, but after drawing a parabola in the sky, it accurately shot into Xiang Yu's right eye!
If Xiang Yu was given a hundred more chances, Xiang Yu would be sure to dodge Sima Jin's arrow every time, because the distance was too far, and when the feather arrow flew in front of Xiang Yu, its momentum had already been greatly exhausted. Xiang Yu, who was charging into the battle, could knock Sima's arrow into the air with his bare hands even without a weapon!
But things are still very miraculous. When the feather arrows came, Xiang Yu, who was riding on the horse, just lowered his head and shouted at Feng Zhong. The position was far outside the range of the Qin army's bow and crossbow, and he didn't realize that the danger was approaching. I also didn't expect that there would be a feather arrow coming. When the feather arrow fell along the parabola, Xiang Yu just raised his head again. It was too late to make any dodge and swing reaction.

Xiang Yu and Sima Jin both won the first prize of the lottery, and at the same time they bought two first prizes of the lottery with extremely low probability.

It's a pity that Xiang Yu's prize is not a huge bonus, but the arrowhead, blood splashes, and after covering his eyes with a scream, blood still gushes out of Xiang Yu's fingers like spring water.But Xiang Bo, Fan Zeng, Feng Zhong and others next to him were all stunned, and they couldn't believe that such a thing could happen. From such a long distance, Xiang Yu could still be shot by a stray arrow.

"kill!"

It was Xiang Yu himself who was the first to react, and the pain pierced his heart. Xiang Yu's roar was like a thunder on the ground, "Kill it! Kill Aocang's Tyrant Qin army!"

After countless actual combat experiences, Feng Zhong's reaction was far from comparable to when he was the head of Xiaoting before. It was only in the blink of an eye that Feng Zhong weighed the priorities of the matter clearly, and knew that if he didn't take advantage of Xiang Yu's arrow The news has not yet spread, so hurry up and enter the camp of the Qin army. If there is a delay, the morale of the anti-Qin coalition army will be severely damaged. Not only are the previous efforts of the army under his command doomed to waste, but they will definitely turn victory into defeat and suffer heavy losses. !So Feng Zhong didn't hesitate, and gave the order to charge with a loud roar, and personally led his rear army to charge.

Feng Zhong made the right decision. After decisively launching the charge, the morale of most of Feng Zhong's soldiers who did not know it was not affected at all. One is fiercer and braver than the other.However, the Qin army didn't know that they had created a miracle, and they were captured by the aura of Feng Zhong's rear army who was charging naked. The army's morale was extremely panicked. Hong's Feng Zhong's former army rushed to the camp one after another, losing a large area of ​​the wall.

After Feng Zhong's rear army rushed to the Qin army's camp under the cover of the front army, the Qin army had no chance to drive Feng Zhongjun off the wall. Large areas of the wall were lost one after another, and the soldiers were either killed or killed. Directly drove off the wall, but the high-morale Feng Zhongjun soldiers looked like crazy tigers, brandishing their weapons ferociously and stabbing the Qin Army soldiers desperately, and there were constant cases of Feng Zhongjun soldiers rolling into the camp with the Qin Army soldiers in their arms, and the Qin Army soldiers were frightened , even more unable to parry, soldiers kept fleeing cowardly during the successive defeats, and the officers could not restrain them at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sima Jin, who also didn't know that he had won the big prize, could only quickly retreat down the wall and retreat to the camp to organize the rear army to counterattack. He rushed to the generals of the Qin army who hurried up to stop them, fought desperately with the generals of the Qin army with their bare arms, and quickly seized a gate of the Qin army camp, broke the latch and opened the gate. The army took the opportunity to charge into the camp and join the battlefield in the camp.

The next situation is relatively simple. During the fierce battle, the soldiers of Feng Zhongjun who swarmed into the camp were like a torrent, but they defeated the intercepting team of the Qin army in a short time. The more they fought, the higher their morale was. Panicked, the more they fought, the more frightened they became, and they kept retreating into the camp.And when the general of the Chu army, Ji Bu, also came to reinforce with the army, it became a matter of time before the defeat of the Aocang Qin army.

However, this battle took far longer than expected, because the anti-Qin coalition army treated the Qin army's surrender too unreasonably. First retreated into the granary street fighting, and then tried to withdraw to Cangcheng on the top of the mountain to continue to resist. Fortunately, the Qi army had surrounded Cangcheng, which did not give the defeated Qin army a chance to return to the city. The battle was fierce on the hillside of the city, and there was still no hope of ending it in a short time.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Feng Zhong, who had killed an enemy with his own hands, also found a place to rest temporarily at the foot of the mountain. In front of him, he ordered in his ear: "Go back to the camp immediately, ask Feng Qi to clean up quickly, and go to Guanzhong overnight to report to the right general, saying that the former general had an arrow in his right eye and was seriously injured. It is a serious injury. But remember, apart from you and Feng Qi, no third person should know about this matter."

"Now?" Tan Gu asked in surprise.

"Now!" Feng Zhong nodded vigorously, and said in a low voice: "If there is no accident, Fan Zuoshi and the others will definitely issue a password ban. If you don't send someone to report to the right general, I'm afraid there will be no chance. Don't worry, this matter Now that it’s done, General You will never treat you badly.”

The reason why Feng Zhong trusted Tan Gu and Feng Qi was because they were both Feng Zhong's pawns when he was the pavilion chief of Shiling Pavilion. The distant relatives with the same surname are not only loyal and reliable, but also very familiar with Xiang Kang. They are destined to become prosperous as long as they get online with Xiang Kang.As a result, Tan Gu did not disappoint Feng Zhong, and immediately nodded to accept the order, and borrowed a set of armor from Feng Zhongjun's soldiers, pretending to be returning to the camp to deliver orders.

When Tan Gu was about to leave, Feng Zhong suddenly remembered an important matter, he hurriedly held him back, and whispered in his ear: "By the way, ask Feng Qi to say something to General You, please General You don't have to worry about him." No matter what method I think of, I will try my best to protect the safety of his wife and children."

Tan Guzheng nodded, and then took advantage of the chaos to get out of the already chaotic battlefield, and hurried back to the camp to arrange for Feng Zhong to send a messenger to inform Xiang Kang.Feng Zhong sighed lightly, and secretly said: "Brother Xiang Kang, the elder brother can only help you so far. Whether Feng Qi can successfully deliver the news to you depends on God's will."

The bloody fierce battle didn't end until late at night. Most of the Qin army outside Cangcheng were wiped out by the anti-Qin coalition forces. Only a small number escaped by chance in the dark. Successfully won the Ao Cang to stockpile grain, and completely solved the problem of military grain.Afterwards, Xiang Yu sent people to order the troops to order the Qi army to besiege the remnants of the Qin army in Cangcheng.

When Feng Zhong led his troops back to the camp of the Chu army, it was already full light, and Feng Zhong himself didn't even have a chance to return to his tent to rest, so he was immediately called by Xiang Yu to meet him.But when Feng Zhong came to Xiang Yu's sleeping tent to ask for an interview, Xiang Yu didn't let Feng Zhong in. He just asked his absolute confidant Cao Jiu to come out to meet Feng Zhong. Said: "Hu Linghou, congratulations."

"Hu Linghou?" Feng Zhong was a little surprised, and asked, "Cao Sima, are you talking to the last general?"

"Of course I'm talking to you, General." Cao Jiu said with a smile, "In this battle, you were the first to lead an army into the camp of the Tyrant Qin army and won the first victory. For the sake of Marquis Hu Ling, eat thousands of households in the city."

"The last general doesn't dare." Feng Zhong hastily gave in and said, "This is all the work of our soldiers, how dare the last general swallow it all by himself?"

"General Feng, there is no need to be humble. The rewards promised by the former general must be honored to the general." Cao Jiu said with a smile, "As for the rewards of the general's soldiers, we will send people to send them soon, and they will definitely not be missed. .”

Feng Zhong had no choice but to quickly thank Cao Jiu, who then smiled and said, "Also, by the way, let me tell the general some good news. The former general's injury was very minor, and the arrow just shot him in the thigh. You will be able to move freely in a few days, does the general understand what the former general meant?"

"Sure enough, we want to block the news." Feng Zhong snorted coldly in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he quickly nodded and said: "The general understands, please rest assured Cao Sima, the general will tell the good news to the soldiers under his command when he returns."

"That's good." Cao Jiu nodded in satisfaction, and said casually: "At that time, besides the former general and Fan Zuoshi, there were only you, General Feng, and some soldiers under your command. If there are any rumors in the army, the former general I want to ask for you."

Feng Zhong sighed lightly, cupped his hands helplessly and said: "Don't worry, Cao Sima, the general will go back and explain to those present, there will never be any rumors."

"Very good." Cao Jiu smiled again, and urged, "The general must have worked very hard, go back and rest, the former general is busy with military affairs, so he has no time to see you."

Feng Zhong bid farewell obediently and left, Cao Jiu also returned to Xiang Yu's bedroom with a smile on his face, but after entering the tent, the smile on Cao Jiu's face disappeared without a trace, because at this moment Xiang Yu was still the same. Lying unconscious on the couch, even though his right eye was covered with a thick white cloth, blood was still slowly oozing out. Old Man Fan and Uncle Xiang sat beside him with sad faces, their expressions extremely depressed.

After shaking his head helplessly, Cao Jiu said, "Feng Zhong, I've already issued a password ban. Considering his usual behavior, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Our morale won't be too big a problem for the time being. , Now let’s see if the former general can wake up.”

"Where is Zhang Zifang? Have you sent someone to chase after him?" Old Man Fan asked hoarsely.

"Si Geng sent someone to chase after him." Cao Jiu replied with a sigh, "But he set off back to Guanzhong the day before yesterday, and he was traveling in a light car, so the possibility of catching up with him is very small."

"We must catch up!" Old man Fan said with pain in his tone, "At this time, we must not turn against Xiang Kang."

Cao Jiu smiled wryly, and was very clear about the current situation. If Zhang Liang brought back the news that Xiang Yu insisted on going to war with Xiang Kang, and shut Xiang Kang to a dead end, and the young commander was forced to fight back, no one would suffer the consequences. Dare to imagine.

Master Xiang Bo was more considerate than old man Fan and Cao Jiu. After hesitating for a long time, Xiang Bo said hesitantly: "Cao Sima, Fan Zuoshi, if the former general does not wake up, the Chu army and the allied forces of the princes will have no leader. What should I do?"

Glancing at Uncle Xiang, Old Man Fan sneered and said, "If Master wants to stand up and turn the tide, the old man and Cao Sima are of course willing to support you to take over the army of Chu State, but the old man has something to say first. To launch a counterattack, all the heavy burdens will be on the shoulders of you alone, Master Xiang. Whether you can subdue the princes outside the pass like the former general, and whether you can stop Xiang Kang's rebellious minister's counterattack depends on your performance, Master Xiang."

Master Xiang is quite self-aware. He knows that his prestige is more than 01:30 points away from that of his nephew. There is absolutely no possibility of making the ambitious princes outside the pass obey his orders, and he is not sure that he can lead the Chu army whose morale will be seriously affected. The main force blocked Xiang Kang's counterattack, so Master Xiang had no choice but to obediently dismiss his unrealistic fantasies, and changed his words: "Yu'er will definitely wake up, his body is strong, this little injury will not trouble him."

Old Man Fan gave Xiang Bo a contemptuous look, then suddenly remembered something important, and hurriedly said to Cao Jiu, "Cao Sima, I almost forgot, we should immediately order Tian An and Liu Ji to block all entrances immediately." Road, no idlers are allowed to enter or leave the pass, so as not to leak the news and let Xiang Kangnichen receive the news."

Cao Jiu's heart froze, he nodded quickly, and then issued an order using Xiang Yu's seal letter to send a fast horse to Tian An and Liu Laosan in the garrison Weihan Road, asking them to block the road to the pass immediately after receiving the order, lest the young commander The secret work inquired about the important military situation of Xiang Yu's injury, and ran to Xiang Kang to inform him.

On this day, many things happened. First, after more than a day and a night of hard fighting, Zhao's army finally succeeded in taking Xingyang City and annihilating the last formed army of the Qin Army in Sanchuan County; The army of Qi State sent people to report that the Qin army in Cangcheng resisted tenaciously and needed more time to take Cangcheng. In addition, Liu Laosan also sent people to send good news, saying that he had successfully taken Cangcheng. Ningqin County in Guanzhong; and more generals from the Chu army and princes from outside the Guanzhong came to inquire about Xiang Yu's injury. Cao Jiu and Old Man Fan could only take turns to show up, saying that Xiang Yu's injury was not serious. , just need a little time to rest, it took a lot of effort to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army.

But it was a good thing, Xiang Yu, who was able to lift the mountain, was indeed physically strong, far incomparable to others. At night, Xiang Yu, who had been in a coma for a day, woke up leisurely, worrying about Cao Jiu and old man Fan who had a lot of white beard and hair Overjoyed, he hurried up and asked, "Ex-general, how do you feel?"

Xiang Yu's lips squirmed, and it took a long time before he asked in a weak voice, "What did the medical staff say about my injury?"

After hesitating for a while, Cao Jiu said helplessly, "Former general, you must calm down. When you pulled out the arrow, your right eye was also pulled out, and your right eye is no longer there."

After finishing speaking, Cao Jiu hurriedly added: "However, your life is definitely not a problem. As long as the ex-general you rest assured and take care of yourself, you will recover soon. Also, we have blocked the news, and now our soldiers and princes outside the pass are still alive. I don’t know about your situation, but the morale of the army has not been affected. In addition, we have already taken the Ao Cang, so there is no need to worry about the issue of military rations.”

Xiang Yu closed his left eye in pain, opened it again after a while, and said slowly: "Uncle Cao, please take care of the military affairs for me temporarily, Father Ya, Uncle Ji, please help Uncle Cao, Everything is up to him to decide. How long the princes can hide it is really impossible, so it doesn’t matter if we let them know, Ao Cang is in our hands, and the princes outside the pass have no military supplies, so they can’t overthrow the sky.”

Cao Jiu and old man Fan hurriedly agreed, and Xiang Yu said in a weak voice: "I am most worried about brother Xiang Kang. He has soldiers and food, and I turned against him again. If he seizes this opportunity to counterattack, there will be no chance." People will be his opponents, you have to think of ways, at least you have to block him, only when my injury heals can you be sure to deal with him..."

Xiang Yu's voice became weaker and weaker, and before he could finish speaking, he fell into a coma again. Cao Jiu and Old Man Fan faced each other with sad faces, and smiled wryly. Then he remembered that he forgot to tell Xiang Yu that Liu Laosan was already in Guanzhong He started fighting with Xiang Kang, and had already captured a city in Guanzhong. Xiang Kang might fight back at any time, but the anti-Qin coalition forces had no time to send reinforcements to Liu Laosan.

After careful consideration for a long time, old man Fan made up his mind and said to Cao Jiu, "Cao Sima, Liu Ji's troops are few and far between. It is much easier to fight westward. If Xiang Kang takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack, Liu Ji and Tian An have no hope of blocking him, and Hangu Pass will inevitably fall, and we will have no way to fulfill the former general's order. The only way we can do it now is to Find a way to stabilize Xiang Kang."

"How to stabilize him?" Cao Jiu asked.

"Take advantage of Xiang Kang's time to know the news, and immediately send a reliable envoy to contact him." Fan old man said: "Let's say that the Xiang family's children are pleading for him together, and the former general read it for the sake of brotherhood. He also promised to give him a chance to immediately use the territory he now controls as the boundary, and not to conflict with the troops outside the pass. Give him the land of Hanzhong, use this method to stabilize him temporarily, and buy time for the former general to recover from his injuries."

Cao Jiu made some calculations and said after a long while, "It is feasible and hopeful, but what if the news suddenly gets out?"

"It doesn't matter." Old man Fan said darkly: "We are taking the former general's reputation and his hypocrisy to stabilize him for the time being, and at the same time falsely passing on the former general's order, promising rewards and asking Zhao's army to immediately march into Guanzhong to reinforce Liu Jihetian. An, the fighting strength of the Zhao army is second only to our Chu army. It is definitely not a big problem to block Xiang Kang for a long time. As long as the Zhao army can persist until the former general recovers from his injuries and can continue to lead the army to fight, it will be easy to deal with Xiang Kang. And dispatch After the Zhao army is gone, even if the princes outside the pass have any disagreements, it will not be a problem."

Cao Jiu hesitated for a long time, and then said: "At this point, this is the only way to do it. Let's discuss quickly how we can get Zhao's army to enter the pass willingly, to help us block Xiang Kang in the pass, and to heal the former general. To gain time."

I must confess that both Cao Jiu and Old Man Fan have considered being honest with Xiang Kang and using their brotherhood to persuade Xiang Kang and Xiang Yu to reconcile, but Xiang Yu has gone too far before, not only detaining Xiang Kang's envoy, but also Swearing in public in front of the princes outside the pass that he will attack Xiang Kang, can it be said that he is not sure about moving Xiang Kang, who judges others by himself, and at the same time, will Xiang Yu, who is arrogant and obsessed with face, agree to bow to Xiang Kang, Cao Jiu and old man Fan? I don't even have any confidence - I just swore in front of the princes that I would kill my relatives righteously, and in a blink of an eye, I have to kneel to the target of the crusade and ask for peace. Everyone's laughing stock.

So there was no other way, Cao Jiu and old man Fan, who were unable to get off the tiger, could only bite the bullet and carry out the orders that Xiang Yu gave when he was awake, and tried every means to block Xiang Kang in Guanzhong, and also to keep Xiang Yu's way to enter Guanzhong after he recovered from his injuries.
