Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 324 The Ultimate Hooligan
"...Linjiang Wang Yingbu is shameless, betrayed the king of Western Chu, and suddenly sent troops from Nanjun to attack Deng County. The Nanyang King's Deng County defenders were caught off guard. The cities of Nanyang, Rangxian and Wancheng are in emergency at the same time! Therefore, the Nanyang Army asked the King of Nanyang to return to the camp quickly and take charge of the overall situation!"

With a bang, before the Nanyang urgent report conveyed by Gong Ao's soldiers was finished, the bronze wine bar in Liu Laosan's hand had already fallen on the table in front of him. Immediately, there was no color at all, and Gong Ao, Li Zuoche, and Master Xiang Boxiang all changed their faces, and then Master Xiang Boxiang yelled directly, "Yingbufu! Shameless bastard! You are so big!" courage!"

"The bastard raised by the maidservant! The scorpion with the tattoo on the buttocks! Naigong (your grandfather and I) don't chop you up with my own hands! Naigong doesn't have a surname of Liu!"

Liu Laosan, who likes to swear, scolds much more harshly than Master Xiang Boxiang, but it is useless no matter how harsh it is, because Liu Laosan is hundreds of kilometers away, and even with wings on his body, Liu Laosan has no time to fly Going back to Deng County to snatch back his south gate, so he yelled, Liu Laosan could only leave in a hurry, and went back to the camp to understand the situation on his south line. Gong Ao, Master Xiang and others also had no drinks to celebrate the run away last night The idea of ​​the Han army was to send messengers back to the main battlefield in Xingyang as soon as possible to let Xiang Yu know the important news that happened suddenly.

It was only after returning to his camp that Liu Laosan learned from the urgent report sent by Xiao He that the situation in Nanyang was even worse than he had imagined. The army stationed in Deng County was caught off guard and was almost attacked by the Yingbo army. Annihilated, the remnants didn't even have a chance to escape back to Wancheng, so they had to retreat westward to Shandu to defend the city.At the same time, because the main force of the Nanyang Army moved northward and needed a large amount of food and military supplies, most of the Nanyang Army's reserve team was concentrated on the northern line to transfer food and grass, and to prevent the Han army from sending troops from Wuguan to attack the hinterland of Nanyang. The cities along the front line are extremely empty, and they may fall at any time. Even if Xiao He hastily mobilized the reserve team and temporarily recruited recruits to join the army, at most he can only defend Wancheng and wait for reinforcements, and he may not be sure that he can hold it for a long time.

It is also because of this that just after reading the urgent report sent by Xiao He's fast horse, Liu Laosan didn't even bat an eyelid, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up, order the whole army to pull out the camp and go south to save our capital!" !"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Lu Jia, the counselor, hurriedly stopped Liu Laosan, and quickly said, "In this situation, the King of Western Chu will definitely not allow us to retreat. We need to discuss carefully how to withdraw."

"Zhuzi! Still discussing your Weng's head!" Liu Laosan once again yelled and shouted with red eyes: "Yingbu is going to take down our capital, we don't have to retreat quickly, what should we do if we lose Wancheng? "

"Your Majesty, calm down." Lu Jia hastened to persuade, and said: "Our battle with the Han bandits on the southern front has reached a critical moment. Retreating at this time will not only mean that all previous efforts have been wasted, but the western Chu army's partial division will also be in danger. Once the Han bandits take the opportunity If the Western Chu army's partial division is broken, or if he draws his hand to reinforce other battlefields, the king of Western Chu will definitely be furious, and when he blames it, how can we explain it?"

Lu Jia's persuasion still made Liu Laosan regain some sense, considering that he must not offend Xiang Yu, Liu Laosan could only withdraw the order to withdraw troops immediately, and asked Lu Jia instead: "Then what do you think should be done? "

"It's best to get the consent of the Western Chu army first." Lu Jia suggested: "Your Majesty, why not go to the Western Chu army camp again, and truthfully explain the situation to the Western Chu army, and tell them that we must retreat immediately, please ask them It is agreed that we will withdraw our troops and go back to deal with Yingbupifu first, and then return to help them attack the Han thieves after we have dealt with Yingbupifu."

Liu Laosan nodded if he wanted to, but just as he rushed to the front of the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Laosan suddenly stopped, and said with an extremely ugly face: "It's useless, Xiang Yu is used to selfishness, and he will never Promise to let us retreat. Gong Ao and Xiang Bo will definitely not agree to let us retreat first, leaving them behind, will definitely use an excuse to ask Xiang Yu for his opinion first, and then give us an answer."

"Your Majesty, how about taking a step-by-step approach?" Sui He suggested: "First persuade the partial division of the Western Chu Army to agree that we withdraw [-] troops to save Nanyang, and then slowly find a way to withdraw our remaining troops."

After careful calculation, Liu Laosan found that this was the only way to rescue the emergency and persuade the Western Chu army to agree to withdraw, so he nodded, and then ordered: "Hurry up, send a fast horse to Han Xin to send the order to the governor. Leave the matter of transporting grain and grass to others for the time being, and come back immediately to wait for orders. Also, block the news, and don’t let the traitors know about the urgent situation behind us!”

After the order was finished, Liu Laosan took Xiao He's urgent report and rushed to the Western Chu Army's partial camp, trying to persuade Gong Ao and Xiang Bo to agree to let him withdraw [-] troops to go back to the emergency, but what made Liu Laosan burst into anger was , my situation has reached this critical point, and I have voluntarily tolerated it to this point. Gong Ao and Xiang Bo are still playing their own tricks, using the excuse that they dare not make decisions about this matter, and they must first seek Xiang Yu’s consent. Promise Liu Laosan to divide his troops and retreat.

"King of Nanyang, don't worry." Gong Ao's tone was still very relaxed, and said: "Wancheng is your capital, the city is high and the moats are deep and strong, it is definitely not a problem to hold it for a long time, we still have time to respond. It’s not very far from here to Xingyang, so we’d better ask the King of Western Chu for his decision first.”

At the critical moment, Master Xiang Boxiang also suddenly forgot the bejeweled beauty Liu Laosan gave him, fiddled with Xiang Yu's sword, and said in a more relaxed tone: "Besides, even if Wancheng is lost, we only need to defeat the Han thieves and free up our hands." If you come to the south, it is only a matter of one sentence to take Wancheng back to you, so it is best for you, King Nanyang, to wait until the King of West Chu has a decision."

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't dare to offend Xiang Yu and Xiang Kang at the same time, Liu Laosan would definitely turn around and leave immediately without saying a word, and immediately lead the army back to save his lair, ignoring the life and death of the Western Chu army's partial division, but it was because he offended the undead. Speaking of Xiang Yu, his own strength is too weak to be unique, and Liu Laosan can only make calculations quickly with a pale face, without saying a word for a long time.

At this time, Li Zuoche, who was thinking at the side, suddenly said, "King of Nanyang, in my humble opinion, I think you should not just ask the King of Western Chu to allow you to return to rescue Nanyang, but you should directly ask the King of Western Chu for help." That's right, I ask the King of Western Chu to send you reinforcements to help you rescue Nanyang, and even counterattack Nanjun and attack Yingbupifu."

Liu Laosan rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that what you said sounds nice. I am not sure that I can even ask Xiang Yu to let me return to the army to save Nanyang. Do you still expect him to send me reinforcements?

Li Zuoche saw Liu Laosan's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the king of Nanyang, the king of Xichu is also a person who is good at strategy. He must know that there are two advantages to doing this. One is that he can counterattack Nanyang and protect you." In the rear, attack the Yingbofu who suddenly betrayed him. The second is to force the Yingbufu to ask for help from the Xiangkang rebels. When the Xiangkang rebels do not send troops, Yingbu will be destroyed, and the princes of the world will immediately know that they have betrayed the King of Western Chu. In the end, don’t dare to have the slightest disagreement, if Xiang Kang’s rebels send troops to rescue, we can just take the opportunity to fight his partial division on the southern front, so it’s better than us being forced to attack their strong camp.”

Li Zuoche's words reminded Liu Laosan, and made Liu Laosan discover that Xiang Yu did have such a strategic choice, and considering that it was easier to pay back the money if he asked for a lot of money, even if Xiang Yu refused to send reinforcements to help him, he could easily persuade him Xiang Yu agreed to go back to rescue Nanyang, so he quickly saluted Li Zuoche and wrote a letter on the spot, begging Xiang Yu to send reinforcements to help him counterattack Yingbo or agree to let him retreat temporarily, and then hand it over to Gong Ao and Xiang Bo. Plead with them to send out their horses at once.

Of course, Gong Ao and Master Xiang would not refuse such a trivial matter, and immediately arranged for a fast horse to send the messenger back to the main battlefield of Xingyang to deliver the letter through the Fangshan path, so as to send away the anxious Liu Laosan.Then, after Liu Laosan said goodbye and left, Gong Ao and Master Xiang laughed and gave Li Zuoche a thumbs up, saying: "It's Mr. Guangwu who has many ways. It's not Mr. Guangwu who said so. There is no way to let Liu Ji calm down for a while."

"Do you think I'm trying to play Liu Ji? If Xiang Yu can hold his breath and send reinforcements to help Liu Ji get rid of Yingbufu first, then the situation will really be in our favor." Li Zuoche snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart: " God bless you, please don't let Liu Ji think of that way."

Of course, Li Zuoche also underestimated Liu Laosan. In fact, Liu Laosan had quietly made up his mind before he left the camp of the Western Chu Army's partial division, and secretly said: "Xiang Yu's little Zhuzi sent reinforcements to help me deal with Yingbu Pifu, of course." It's best, at least agree to let me return to the army to save Nanyang. If he doesn't even agree to this point and insists on asking Lao Tzu to help him fight the traitors first, Lao Tzu will not consider other things and take the army back to protect the lair first. Say it again!"

"I don't believe it anymore. I have turned against Shen Yang and Yingbu. Xiang Yu's little Zhuzi still has the guts to turn me against him, and push me to Xiang Kang's side!"

…………

He was afraid of beating wolves with a hemp pole. Xiang Kang, because of the road blockage, could not receive the news of Yingbo abandoning Chu and returning to Han as quickly as Liu Laosan. The long-planned decisive battle failed to launch smoothly. He paid a high price in the night attack on the Western Chu army camp. In fact, Xiang Kang was as anxious as Liu Laosan, and at one point he had a plan to let Long Qie and Zheng Bu stick to the southern line and return to Xingyang to preside over the overall situation.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the scouts of the Han army made extraordinary achievements. In an almost insignificant scout encounter, they accidentally caught a scout from the Western Chu army, and asked Liu Laosan from his mouth. An important emergency in the rear—Gong Ao was not so kind to issue a ban order to help Liu Laosan conceal the news, and then the scouts of the Han Army reported the situation to Long Qie, and Long Qie of course reported the good news as soon as possible Give it to Xiang Kang.

"Really? Is the news reliable? Yingbo really chose to join us and help us suddenly stab Liu Ji in the back?" Xiang Kang asked excitedly.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Long Qi replied helplessly, "We got the news from the scouts of the Western Chu bandit army that we accidentally caught. The scouts of the army also confessed that he was just hearing it in the camp of the Xichu bandit army, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Xiang Kang rubbed his hands nervously, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said loudly: "Whether it's true or not, you have to try it! Long Qi, you immediately use your reputation to write a letter to Liu Ji, saying that you already know Ying Ying. Regarding the matter of Bu abandoning Chu and returning to Han, I persuade him to follow Yingbo's example and betray Xichu and join us, in exchange for us to let Yingbu retreat and stop fighting him, and give him land rewards after defeating Xichu!"

Long Qi agreed, and immediately wrote a letter to Liu Laosan in his own honor to persuade him to surrender. Xiang Kang then ordered: "Choose a capable envoy to send it, and tell him to pay attention to Liu Ji's expression and reaction. Also, let This envoy is going to meet Liu Ji on a float, and we must let the Xichu bandit army know that we have sent someone to contact Liu Ji!"

Long Qi sang Nuo, and immediately according to Xiang Kang's arrangement, he selected a capable envoy from his subordinates, and asked him to leave the camp in a gorgeous float, and went to the Nanyang army camp with great fanfare.Then, when Long Qie's letter was sent to Liu Laosan, of course Liu Laosan couldn't cry anymore, so he could only yell at the Han army envoy, claiming that Long Qi was talking nonsense, Bite the bullet and firmly deny that his rear is in an emergency.

The matter was not over yet, and the envoys sent by the Han army had just been sent away, and Gong Ao sent someone over to the camp to inquire about the contact situation between the Han army and Liu Laosan. Liu Laosan cursed again, but he had no choice but to be obedient Chu Longqie wrote a letter to himself, letting the Western Chu army know the situation of the Han army trying to recruit him.Needless to say, Gong Ao and Master Xiang Bo immediately stepped up their surveillance of the Nanyang Army in order to prevent Liu Laosan from imitating Ying Bu and suddenly stabbing himself in the back.

Liu Laosan's swollen face and pretending to be a fat man may be hidden from others, but Xiang Kang, who is very familiar with his personality and temper, has just learned of Liu Laosan's reaction. Not quite sure yet, but he resolutely gave up the idea of ​​returning to the main battlefield of Xingyang immediately, and immediately ordered Zheng Bujun to move the camp to Cheyuan Pavilion, and was ready for a decisive battle with the Nanyang army at any time!

Liu Laosan is also good at judging the situation just like Xiang Kang. Just when he saw the Han army gathering troops at Cheyuan Pavilion, Liu Laosan knew that the Han army on the south line was ready to attack, and he planned to take advantage of the opportunity he was eager to return to the rear to save the rear. He stabbed himself in the back a few times.But what was even worse was that at this time, Xiang Yu also sent someone to send a reply. Not only did he categorically reject Liu Laosan's request for help or retreat, he also ordered Liu Laosan to join hands with Gong Ao to launch a decisive battle as soon as possible and defeat the Han on the southern front. The army broke the deadlock in Sanchuan.

Of course, while forcing Liu Laosan to enter the army, Xiang Yu of course had to throw out some chicken bones and fishbone to send Liu Laosan away. In addition to promising to help Liu Laosan take back Nanyang County in the future, he also promised to seal the land of Yingchuan to Liu Laosan.

On the night of receiving Xiang Yu's reply, Liu Laosan had no sleep all night. In the morning of the next day, Liu Laosan rushed to the Western Chu army camp with red eyes again, and offered to send a letter with Gong Ao to make an appointment to fight. On the second day, he joined forces with the Western Chu Army to launch a decisive battle and defeated the Han Army on the southern front with all their strength.Gong Ao saw that Liu Laosan was ruthless, and knew that Liu Laosan was in a hurry to return to his teacher to save his old nest. He would definitely give his all in the decisive battle. The front-line Han army fought to the death head-on the next day!

The letter of engagement was sent to Long Qie and Zheng Bu. Under Xiang Kang's instruction, Long Qie quickly approved the words "tomorrow's decisive battle", and then ordered the soldiers of the Han army to prepare for the night battle with a grinning grin, determined to use The enemy is preparing for the next day's decisive battle, and uses his own sneak attack tactics to surprise the enemy at night-it is of course best to succeed in this way. A better fighter can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

It was the second watch of the night, and relying on the cover of the night, the Han army divided into two groups and sneaked into ambush outside the camps of the Nanyang Army and the Western Chu Army respectively. After touching the outside of the camp, the soldiers of the Nanyang Army found it immediately and rang the gong to call the police. After the soldiers of the Han Army were forced to change from a surprise attack to a strong attack, they went straight into the Nanyang Army camp with ease and set countless Nanyang Army camps on fire. After that, the Nanyang army immediately abandoned the camp and left, and hurriedly retreated towards Yangcheng with countless torches.

On the contrary, instead of being outside the camp of the Western Chu Army, the Han Army was stubbornly blocked by the soldiers guarding the camp of the Western Chu Army.

When the situation report came in front of Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang was stunned, and suddenly regretted and shouted: "I've been fooled! Liu Jipifu has calculated our combat habits, knowing that we promise a decisive battle, and nine out of ten will send troops in advance He raided the camp at night! He took the opportunity to prepare for the retreat early on, and justifiably withdrew from the Songshan battlefield at the lowest cost!"

It was too late to find out that he was fooled. When Xiang Kang confirmed this situation, the well-prepared Nanyang Army had already escaped for more than [-] miles, and the Han Army had no time to pursue it with all its strength. He dared to pursue with all his strength, so he was forced to have no choice but to allocate part of his troops to pursue Liu Laosan. Unfortunately, Liu Laosan had been prepared and arranged for Fan Kuai to lead his army to die in the back of the palace. Some gains have been made, but there is no way to severely damage Liu Laosan's main force.

Xiang Kang was not considered the worst victim. The worst victim was the side division of the Western Chu Army. Although relying on soldiers to fight to the death, he defended the camp with all his strength and did not give the Han army a chance to enter the camp at night, but Mr. Liu After three 'big defeats' and leaving, the partial division of the Western Chu Army immediately became a helpless partial division. They could only defend the camp with all their strength while sending people to the main force for help. The third child's "defeated soldier" took on the important task of keeping the rear guard in check.

At this time, Liu Laosan, who had replenished the food and grass in Yangcheng, had already abandoned the city and walked south, still grinning grinningly on the road, and said: "Son Xiang Yu, I was forced to retreat after losing the battle this time. Let's see what you can do." What do you mean? I don’t believe it anymore. When the matter has come to this point, you still dare to turn against me? When I get rid of Yingbu, and when you and the little traitor Xiang Kang are both defeated, I will come back to reap the benefits!”

While grinning ferociously, Liu Laosan was also a little strange, and thought to himself, "Why did I make such a right bet in this game? While making an appointment to fight and attacking at the same time, although it is the good tactic of the little traitor Xiang Kang, Long Qi and Zheng Bu both How can you learn so well, a fool with no brains? It’s almost as if the little traitor Xiang Kang personally went to the southern line to command?"

According to the book, Liu Laosan was actually not sure that he would be able to retreat smoothly last night. Liu Laosan just gambled that the Han army on the southern front would be as despicable as their coach Xiang Kang, and promised a decisive battle the next day during the day , launched a sneak attack in advance at night.As for losing the bet, it doesn't matter. My rear is in a hurry. Liu Laosan believes that unless the Han army on the southern front is stupid, they will really rush to a decisive battle with their own army. Just retreat.
