Destiny Only Han

Chapter 242 Xiang Yu: My Home Was Stolen!Han Xin: Me too...

Sishui County, north of Pengcheng.

In the evening, there was a sudden wind, lightning and thunder, heavy rain, and the sweltering weather was swept away immediately.

However, the heavy rain in summer came and went quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, and there were only a few gorgeous sunset glows in the blue sky.

On the muddy road in the field, Peng Yue, who was running with big bags and small bags, kept cursing.

After he looted Xiapi City, because it was too easy to get it, a group of water bandits under him clamored to make persistent efforts, trying to complete the annual KPI within a few days...

Therefore, Peng Yue took advantage of the situation and plundered several other counties around Pengcheng.

The reason why they were able to go so smoothly was that the main force of the Chu army besieged Liu Bang in the west of the border, and those who stayed behind in their hometown were only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were not at all the opponents of the brave water bandits who were eager for money.

But the bad thing is that they are too greedy.

How cool it was for them to show off their might before, but now how embarrassing it is for them to run around with their heads in their hands.

But as long as they can run back to Juyeze, they will be safe.

As for the dozen or so cities that Xiang Yu had captured before, taking advantage of Xiang Yu's lack of time to look around, they had no choice but to surrender.

Anyway, the belongings in those places have already been moved back to Juyeze by Peng Yue like ants moving house. If the city is lost, just throw it away, don't feel bad.

Peng Yue's army was more than a hundred li to the south, and Xiang Yu rode his horse through the streets and alleys. He saw devastation and the treasury was empty.

He pursed his lips tightly, not letting himself yell like a country woman.

This thief, Peng Yue, not only robbed him, he actually left a note stating how much he took, how much he burned, and how much he distributed to the civilians in the city...

Murder, but also punish!

Not a man!

Xiang Yu turned his horse's head and galloped out of the city.

Peng Yue's head is going to be decided, and he will be caught when he goes up to Qiongbi and down to Huangquan, otherwise, his surname will not be Xiang!
…………

Dang County, north of Qifeng County.

Liu Bang personally led the Han army and Lu Ze's army to the north from Ye County on a starry night, and attacked the Chu army stationed here at dawn.

At this moment, because Xiang Yu was no longer there, and the Chu army, which had no generals in command, ran wild and fled, throwing away their helmets and armor.

This is exactly the result of Chen's countermeasures taking effect.

Although Zhongli Meijibu and the others had no intention of rebellion, Xiang Yu no longer allowed them to lead the army alone when the three became tigers.

Except for Long Qie who still retains a little trust in Xiang Yu, the others are already close to Xiang Yu just like Yu Ji.

But on Liu Bang's face, there was no joy of victory at all at this time.

On the contrary, the clouds were clouded and the brows were furrowed.

Although this battle was a great victory, it was unable to complete the complete annihilation of the Chu army here.

There is a saying in military strategists, if it is ten, it will surround it, if it is five, it will attack it, if it is doubled, it will be divided, if the enemy is small, it will be able to defend it, if it is small, it will be able to defend it, and if it is not enough, it will be able to avoid it.

Although the number of troops brought by Liu Bang this time was much larger than that of the Chu army on the opposite side, they could only defeat the opponent and could not complete the encirclement.

In fact, in his strategic conception before he came, he wanted to wipe out this army.

After all, he once heard Liu Ying say that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers...

So at the beginning of sending troops, he secretly ordered Han Xin in the north to lead the army south and cut off the Chu army's retreat.

Now, he has won all the battles, but Han Xin has been late!

But that wasn't the reason for his frowning at the moment.

The reason why he was restless and his eyebrows were twitching was that he got some letters from Xiang Yu's account of the Chinese army commander who stayed here.

Judging from the handwriting and seal, some letters were written by Han Xin himself.

This is a reply letter, which said that because he was treated with courtesy by the king of Han, he undressed him and pushed him to eat, so he asked Xiang Yu to dissuade him from attacking and killing the prince of Han, and together with the Chu army, he attacked the Han country, and then he was punished. Feng Zhaowang's idea.

The moment he got the letter, Liu Bang couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

The general in command of one's own side and the enemy's king actually have letters in private...

This, no one can bear it!
Besides, this letter, judging from the ink blots, has been around for some time. It's really hard to say what Han Xin's plan is at this time!
After all, people's hearts are unpredictable!

Liu Bang lowered his head silently, thinking about what he should do.

In this battle, Han Xin's army in the north did not go south as promised. Does it mean that Han Xin has defected?

What about Liu Ying?
Have you encountered...

Do not!
Liu Bang forced himself not to imagine Liu Ying's decapitated body, distorted face, and unrepentant death...

Beside Liu Bang, Lu Wan, who grew up together and was almost connected with each other, just glanced at Liu Bang's expression, and also read the letter, so he understood what Liu Bang was thinking at the moment.

So he said comfortingly: "Don't always think of the bad, don't you know your own son? If you are not fully sure, he will go to Han Xin for whatever he can say?"

"Besides, there are no Cao Shen Guanying and the others in the army. Even if Han Xin wanted to betray, he would not be able to make any waves!"

Liu Bang nodded slightly, his heart relaxed a little, but still frowning, he looked at Lu Wan and said, "You and I will leave now, pack lightly, and cross the north."

He didn't say clearly what he was doing when crossing the river, but Lu Wan nodded and turned to leave.

With the tacit understanding between him and Liu Bang, there is absolutely no need for the other party to say more.

it is more than words.

…………

On June [-]th of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, it was night, the moon was bright, and it was close to the full moon.

In the silent night, on the road leading to Xiuwu County in the distance, a carriage came galloping, surrounded by a dozen burly knights with swords and shields.

On the top of the city, the drowsy defenders suddenly became alert. After waking up his companions, he extinguished the torches, and nervously aimed the crossbow in his hand at the carriages and knights parked below the city.

"who?"

"Han envoy, open the city gate quickly!"

Hearing the words "King of Han", the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to neglect, but it was difficult to tell the truth from the false in the dark, so they lowered a basket from the city wall and asked the knights outside to put the seal in it.

Although they didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, they didn't know what was written on the seal, and most importantly, they didn't know what kind of seal the envoy should carry.

But as long as the other party dares to put the token on the basket and let them check it, if you think about it, it must be true!

After all, what they don't know, the other party has no way of knowing.

If the other party gives a fake and is seen through, the strong crossbows in the city are not vegetarians!
After a while, the defenders at the top of the city looked at the golden things in the hanging basket, which were as wide as two fingers. The first thing they thought of was whether these were real gold. If so, they should be able to buy a string of yards and marry a wife... …

But immediately, they immediately raised the gate and opened a corner gate under the city.

Well, the main gate of the county seat is locked immediately at night, and unless something important happens, it cannot be opened with the authority of the guards at the gate.

Under the city, Liu Bang and Lu Wan lowered their heads for fear of being recognized by the soldiers standing in the doorway.

After all, Han Xin's Chinese military shogunate was located in Xiuwu City at this time, and the soldiers guarding the gate were probably veterans who had fought with the two of them for many years.

And this is why the defenders easily let them enter the city.

At this time, the garrison around Xiuwu was close to [-]. Even if the dozen or so people in front of them were immortals, a knife from the defenders would be enough to chop them into pieces!

…………

At dawn, Han Xin entered the military shogunate.

Liu Bang and Lu Wan followed the same pattern to trick the gate guards and walked straight in.

However, they didn't go to Han Xin immediately, but they went to look for Liu Ying in the west wing first according to what they heard from the guard at the door.

The two of them didn't sleep last night. After inquiring around in the city, they found that no matter whether it was Liu Ying, Cao Shen Guanying or the others, they were all living well without any accidents.

So all the previous speculations disappeared, but another doubt arose.

Since Han Xin did not rebel and the army is still loyal to Han, why did they arrive so late during the previous battle.

And it's not that the army is out of date.

Looking at the layout of the barracks outside the city, it was obvious that the army had arrived early.

So, now that it's here, why not join the fight?
With so much confusion, Liu Bang and Lu Wan walked out of Liu Ying's room, pushed the door open and entered quietly, and couldn't help laughing immediately.

On the bamboo mat, Liu Ying was sleeping soundly on her back, with her thighs resting on the frowning Zhang Buyi's chest. Although the latter looked like he was about to be crushed to death, he still slept like a dead pig.

Lu Wan shook her head slightly: "Like a father, like a son!"

He vaguely thought of many similar scenes between himself and Liu Bang when they were young.

Well, at that time, he was in Zhang Buyi's current position.

Liu Bang stepped forward and sat beside Liu Ying. First, he pushed and shoved him a few times, seeing that he was still asleep, and then he thought that he had been running around all night, while the other party was sleeping peacefully on the couch!

So angry, he raised his hand, and prepared to use the big ear scraper as an offering of love...

At this moment, Liu Ying slowly opened her eyes as if she had a feeling in her heart, then blinked lightly, and touched her white belly: "Good morning..."

After speaking, he turned over and prepared to go back to sleep.

But in the next second, he sat up suddenly: "Father? Uncle Lu? Why are you here?"

Liu Bang sneered and crossed his arms: "How can you sleep at your age?"

Lu Wan stepped forward and said with a smile: "The army has not yet arrived. Your father and I were worried that something happened to you, so we came here to see for ourselves..."

Liu Ying pointed at herself and looked at Liu Bang: "Worried about me?"

Liu Bang's face blushed, his father's love was speechless, and when he was worried about Liu Ying and Lu Wan directly said it, he felt a little uncomfortable as he was as thick-skinned as he was.

However, after Liu Ying took a look at Zhang Buyi who was still soundly asleep, she slapped him hard on the buttocks.

"Sleeping paralysis, wake up!"

He was going to wait for Han Xin to have a look, thinking that the look on the other party's face must be very exciting!
