Destiny Only Han

Chapter 12 The Devious Way
South of Zhangshui, north of Anyang County.

In the north in December, the second snow of this year has just fallen.

The sky and the earth are vast, and the boundless wilderness is covered with a piece of silvery white. If you look into the distance, you have to squint your eyes to weaken the dazzling light.

The sun was very good, it was sunny after the snow, and the wind was much weaker.

Two men in thick fur furs led their horses on the soft snow, walking and chatting with the sound of "creaking". Behind them were dozens of soldiers, more than ten feet away.

One of them was more than eight feet tall, with big arms, round waist, wide mouth, and double pupils. He was the general Xiang Yu.

Next to Xiang Yu was a middle-aged man of medium build with a long beard.

This is Chen Yu who came running from the north of Julu.

He came today to persuade Xiang Yu to send troops across the river immediately to relieve the crisis in Julu City.

Although Dangyang Lord Yingbu and General Pu Gu attacked the Qin army by surprise after crossing the Zhangshui, beheading several two or five hundred leaders of the Qin army one after another, and killing the Qin soldiers guarding the tunnel.

However, Dong Yi, the captain of the Qin Army, led the army to gather the scattered soldiers and repel Yingbu who attacked the corridor, ensuring the safety of Wangli's army's food road.

The two sides confronted each other on the north bank of the Zhangshui River. Although Pu Gu held the ferry, if Wang Li reacted and the whole army pressed up, the [-] Chu troops might be wiped out!
It's just that although Xiang Yu also wanted to send troops to destroy Qin, he also had difficulties.

As the saying goes, warriors and horses do not move food and grass first.

The current Chu army has a total of 12 people, and there are a total of [-] people stationed in the south of Zhangshui. The daily consumption of food and grass is not a small amount.

But now, the food hoarded in the army is only five days old at most.

He was waiting, waiting for the grain and fodder materials brought by the king of Chu from the south.

Especially winter clothes.

Most of the Chu soldiers are from the south of the Jianghuai River. Although there is occasional snowfall every year, what they did not expect is that the winter in the north is far more difficult than the winter in their hometown!
Especially in the blizzard a few days ago, at least a hundred people would freeze to death every day!

If Fan Zeng hadn't discovered it in time and sent troops to collect a lot of firewood from the people's homes in the surrounding area, I am afraid that when the snow melts, the army will at least lose [-]% of its personnel!
Xiang Yu was looking to the south at this moment, and his heart was ruthless. If Chai Wu who escorted the supplies didn't arrive at dusk today, he would cook them!
Suddenly, a rider from afar came like flying.

Xiang Yu's face showed joy, this person's name was Long Qie, he was his playmate since he was a child, and he sent him to cross the river to meet Chai Wu who came to transport food.

From the looks of it, Chai Wu should have arrived!

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu looked at Chen Yu beside him and said, "Tomorrow at the latest, send troops to rescue Zhao!"

Chen Yu was overjoyed, let go of the rein and bowed to the ground: "So, thank you, General!"

Just as Xiang Yu was about to say something, he heard a series of shouts: "What a disaster, what a disaster!"

Long Qie jumped off his horse, ran to Xiang Yu, gasped and said, "Damn Chai Wu, I don't know where he went. I waited for several days on the south bank of the river and didn't see him!"

"What!" Xiang Yu was furious, and his tiger eyes widened.

Chen Yu took a step forward, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever sent someone to look for it in the south?"

Long Qi said bitterly: "I've found it. I have been looking for Changyi City. The spies I sent said that a group of Chu troops passed by here a few days ago, and they disappeared after being defeated by the Qin army..."

Chen Yu nodded and said: "That should be the army led by Chai Wu. They are heavy soldiers responsible for transporting food, and they have no combat effectiveness..."

He sighed wryly, "Damn Qin thief!"

After speaking, he looked at Xiang Yu, whose face was sinking like water beside him, feeling a little uneasy.

It was just agreed to send troops to rescue Zhao, but it may be suspended.

The army can't do without food.

With the grain and grass accumulated by the Chu army, staying where they are, and then sending some troops to the people's homes to search for a little surplus grain, it will probably last until the second wave of grain and grass is transported by the Chu State.

But if you cross the Zhangshui River to the north...

Once the attack is unfavorable and the two sides are in a stalemate, the Chu army without food in the army is likely to be wiped out!
Chen Yugang wanted to say something, but Xiang Yu said loudly:
"Give me an order to command the whole army to break out and cross the river tonight!"

Long Qi was taken aback, and couldn't believe his ears.

What's the difference between sending troops now and going straight to death!
Xiang Yu opened his eyes and looked down at Long Qi: "Aren't you going? Don't you know that the general will repeat the order for the second time?"

Long Qie was taken aback. Although they were friends who had played together since they were young, Xiang Yu has a bad temper, especially now that he has just become a general. Beheaded on the spot!
He immediately stood up straight, clasped his fists as he promised, and flew away like flying.

After watching Long Qie leave, Xiang Yu turned his gaze to Chen Yu, making him feel uneasy.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu asked: "King Zhao is sitting guarding Julu, what is the strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Chen Yu blinked, not knowing what Xiang Yu wanted to say, but suddenly, he smiled and said:

"Prince Loufan, recruited by Wang Li's army, has agreed to work with my king to destroy Tyranny!"

"But there is a prerequisite for all this, that is, Zhao Jun must defeat Wang Li's main force, otherwise he will not take this risk with the tribesmen and children in Shangjun of Qin State!"

Seeing that Xiang Yu was a little puzzled, Chen Yu explained: "The people of Qin are tyrannical, and the Loufan tribe has long been unbearable. They are just afraid of Qin like a tiger. My king promises that after Qin is destroyed, all the old places of the Xiongnu in Qinshang County will be Loufan pastures. Not only that, Qin Zhiyunzhong County can also be handed over to Lou Fan!"

Xiang Yu sneered: "King Zhao is really generous, hehe, after all, he is generous to others!"

Chen Yu was a little embarrassed, but he said neither humble nor overbearing: "As long as the tyranny of Qin can be destroyed, my king is the same as the king of Chu, and everything is possible! Besides, the king of Chu also said that the one who enters the pass first is the king! Each other, each other..."

Xiang Yu looked down at him until a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and then he burst out laughing.

Although Chen Yu was a little annoyed, seeing the burly young man in front of him, and remembering the legend that the other party was strong enough to kill Yingye, he could only hide his hatred in his heart.

Amid long laughter, Xiang Yu got on his horse and left.

On the galloping horseback, he was quietly thinking about how to fight after crossing the river.

Earlier, I received a report that Qi general Tiandu rebelled against Qi and led [-] troops to rescue Zhao. I heard that after the Chu army crossed the Zhang River, they also led troops to cross the river, together with Zhang Er's [-] generation army and Chen Yu's Liuqi Ten thousand Zhao troops and Yan general Zang Tu's fifty thousand Yan troops merged into one place.

Although the military strength was similar to the 20 Qin army led by Wang Li, they were afraid of Qin Ruhu, and no one dared to take the initiative to launch an attack to break the siege of Julu City.

In other words, everyone is not stupid!
As long as the coalition forces attack Wang Li's army, Zhang Han's entire army will surely be on top and fight to the death!

40 vs. 20, and there are many people in the Qin army who will fight in the end, so he has the advantage!

At that time, there will be no family in the world that has the power to destroy Qin, and dares to destroy Qin!

but……

Xiang Yu rode on the Wuzhi, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

A certain man has the art of defeating ten thousand enemies!

Soldiers who, deception also!
