Destiny Only Han

Chapter 289 Liu Bang: I don't feel sorry for the cub!

Chen County, Yangxia County.

Ever since Xiang Yu led his army back from killing him that day, Liu Bang retreated back to the county town, battling for ten miles, and put on a posture that I will not go out if you call and scold me whatever you want.

Xiang Yu was furious, so he ordered the disassembled siege equipment to be assembled again on the spot, ready to attack the city.

Yangxia is no better than Xingyang, and the Han army does not have so much time to transform it.

It's just that Yangxia is located near the chasm, relying on the soaring water level in summer, all kinds of defense equipment in the Han army, especially those huge catapults, were able to flow down the river and be directly sent to the Han army.

Yes, the Chu army has only one dead end!
As a result, the two armies stalemate again.

At this moment, Liu Bang is sitting in a room with some light leaking from the roof, singing with his feet, taking a sip from time to time, enjoying his life happily...

But soon, his happiness disappeared.

At the door of the room, seeing Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai coming together, Liu Bang jumped up from the ground and stretched his hands forward:
"Back! Back! Back..."

Zhou Bo had some hesitation on his face, but Fan Kui found a futon and sat down on his own: "When will you fight, when will you fight..."

Liu Bang yelled 'retire', and Fan Kuai said 'when will you fight'...

Therefore, Liu Bang resolutely speeded up his speech, and Fan Kui was defeated in an instant...

Zhou Bo just covered his face and said nothing.

Such a scene has repeatedly appeared in the past few days.

The Han army completely retreated into the barrier, and it really made people feel angry to sit and watch the Chu army shouting and cursing outside, showing off their might.

So Fan Kui had a discussion with him, and thought that he could take advantage of Xiang Yu's unpreparedness and hit him... and then back down!
But Liu Bang, who has all the plans, is too lazy to talk to the two of them.

At this time, not only the army of Qidi was gathering, even Lu Ze was joining forces with Han Wangxin, leading the army forward, preparing to form a confrontation with Yangxia where Liu Bang was, and jointly resist Xiang Yu's possible surprise attack.

After all, Xiang Yu is an assassin hero who likes to play tricks.

Therefore, it is necessary to ambush him from all sides, and hold him to death...

Inside the house, Liu Bang began to pick his feet triumphantly, until a secret letter was delivered to him, which made him feel bad all over.

This is Liu Ying's report on the delayed rendezvous of the Yanzhao army.

bump!
Liu Bang directly revealed the case in front of him, furious.

"Straight!"

What made him so angry was Zhang Ao's obedience and transgression.

He and Zhang Er also fell asleep with their feet together, drinking and chatting happily, so he always treated Zhang Ao as his own son.

After Zhang Er passed away, he let Zhang Ao inherit the throne without hesitation, and even the iron coupon he wrote was also his own handwriting.

Let the river be like a belt, Mount Tai be like a mountain, the country is Yongning, and the descendants of the Miao people!
The meaning of this sentence is that even if the Yellow River becomes the thickness of a belt and Mount Tai is as flat as a whetstone, the vassal states he canonized will be peaceful forever, and the favor will be extended to future generations.

Now, Zhang Ao has betrayed his trust!
Zhou Bo picked up the secret letter on the ground, also furious.

He didn't have any feelings for Zhang Ao, including Zhang Er, so he looked at Liu Bang and said: "The prince once said that the inside must be settled first when fighting against the outside world! Why don't you let me lead the army to the north and clean up this scumbag first!"

Liu Bang was taken aback for a moment, he felt that sentence was very familiar.

Although his cultural level is not very high, he also knows that Liu Ying is definitely not the first to say it.

So he picked up the second secret letter on the ground and read it.

This is Liu Ying's report on how he will deal with this issue.

Gradually, the corners of Liu Bang's mouth twitched first, but then he said with some disdain: "Hmph! The brat is generous in his actions! What a peddler!"

He actually agrees with Liu Ying's behavior of rewarding Zhang Ao's subordinates.

But because of the arrogance of an old father, it is normal to verbally suppress him.

Relying on his special relationship with Liu Bang, Fan Kui leaned over to take a look, and was full of praise: "The prince is a good trick! In this way, Zhao Jun will definitely arrive as scheduled!"

Zhang Ao had recently inherited the throne, and his prestige in the army was not as high as that of Zhang Er. In addition, everyone knew that Zhao State was a subsidiary state of Han State, so the soldiers in the army did not object to obeying the orders of the King of Han.

Now when those generals who command the army are won over by Liu Ying, they can get rid of Zhang Ao and go south to join the Han army in a legitimate way.

After all, what does Zhang Ao's appeal have to do with them?
…………

As the sun sets, the Chu army camps.

After yelling and scolding the Chu army for a whole day, they returned without success again.

As a brother Yunlong who did not want to be named said, the soul of a certain army was forged by its first military officer.

The Han army under the command of Liu Bang, just like Liu Bang himself, can do everything on his own...

When Xiang Yu rode back to the camp on Wuzhi, he accidentally saw more than a dozen mail trucks driving into the army. He shook his head and immediately ignored it.

The flames lasted three months, and the family letter was worth ten thousand gold.

Even when the world was in chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the postal transmission system was not cut off.

Although it was unusual for more than a dozen vehicles to appear at one time, it must be because of some reason that the mail truck was blocked on the road.

So at this moment, Xiang Yu's thoughts are all on how to deal with Liu Bang who finally got out of the tortoise shell.

He had received a battle report before, saying that the Chu army who had gone south from Xuejun had defeated and captured the generals of the Han army, captured Xiapi, and regained Huaibei. The situation is very good!
Well, although they didn't say who they were, it must be Guan Ying!
A disaster that I was worried about dying, but I didn't expect it to be solved so dramatically!

Well, it should be that he made some mistakes in judgment and imagined Guan Ying too much.

That's right, looking at the world, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, Xiang Yu, the mighty overlord of Western Chu?
When Xiang Yu returned to the camp with a narcissistic face to wash up and was about to have dinner, the soldiers of the Chu army gathered around the mail car, asking if they had any letters from home.

Many of them have been fighting abroad for several years and have never had the opportunity to return to their hometown.

Perhaps the youngest child in the family has changed from being a baby to an annoying monkey cub crawling all over the ground...

Maybe the younger sister in the family has changed from yellow hair to a slim girl waiting to be married...

Maybe the parents at home have... No, I hope it's too late!
As a result, they became more and more anxious.

Just a moment later, seeing the postman chanting his name and handing out the letters one by one, the soldiers of the Chu army were dumbfounded.

In the past, their family letter was a piece of bamboo or wood.

But now, it seems to be just a thin piece of silk cloth.

"When did the family become so rich that they were willing to write on silk cloth?"

A young Chu army soldier scratched his head gently, and said what many people around him were thinking.

"No, this doesn't seem to be silk cloth!"

A soldier who got the letter exerted a little force, and a gap appeared in the blank place of the letter.

Although they are rough men, they have seen their mothers and sisters weaving and know what silk cloth is.

Among the crowd, a slightly knowledgeable military official frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "This seems to be paper?"

"What is paper?"

The people around immediately gathered together, their faces full of curiosity.

The military official shook his head slightly: "I saw a certain one in the general's tent, and it seems to be a good thing from there!"

Over there, it refers to Han.

Then someone in the crowd gasped in amazement: "Look over there, not only the food is good, but there are also a lot of weird gadgets, it doesn't look like..."

He immediately covered his mouth and looked around nervously.

But the soldiers of the Chu army who received the letterhead were fellow villagers from the same county as him, so they didn't bother to pay much attention to it. They just stared at the postman, hoping that he would read his name.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. In the past, when postmen delivered letters or items from home, they always started with officers and lasted with ordinary soldiers.

But at this time, it started with the soldiers, and ended with the officers.

As a result, the Chu army officer who had previously recognized 'paper' was suddenly full of doubts.

It was not because of the order in which the letters were distributed, but because when the surrounding soldiers got the letters and looked for literate comrades to read them out for themselves, the expressions on the faces of the readers were very inexplicable.

Afterwards, they even gathered together in twos and threes, whispering.

A moment later, after he finally got the letter from home, he opened it and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

"You are not allowed to read it. If you get the letter, hand it over!"

He held his family letter in his hands, and ordered his soldiers to hand over the family letter they had received.

The reason is very simple. These family letters are all about the fact that after the Han army captured the city, they did not burn, kill or loot, so let them rest assured that the letter of peace...

But the more so, the more worrying it is.

After all, all of my family members have fallen into the hands of the Han army. If they fight the Han army again, I am afraid that what they will bring again will no longer be a letter of safety, but bad news!
Although the underdogs will surely win, as ordinary soldiers, they dare not gamble with their families at all!
Therefore, although their family letters were confiscated, as Paoze from the same county, as long as one person read the contents of the letter, everyone would know about it one after another.

…………

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

"cunning!"

……

In the commander's tent, after listening to the report of the lieutenant general and the school, and looking at the pile of letters in front of him, Xiang Yu was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at random.

If the enemy opened up their posture and fought head-on, Xiang Yu would naturally not be afraid.

But in the face of such a situation, he can only be "Yu Ji Yu Ji Nai Ruo He".

At the same time, under the city of Xiapi, a large Chu army flag fell to the mud and burned blazingly.

Guan Ying led the army and captured Xiapi, which was recovered by the Chu army because the main force went south.

In this battle, the governor of Xue County of Chu State was beheaded, and Xiang Tuo, the Zhu State of Chu State who was not captured by Zhang Han, Liu Bang and Han Xin, was captured alive.

Outside the city, the Chu army who knelt down and begged to surrender was overwhelming, and they seized countless military supplies and battles...

It's just that there is no joy of victory on Guan Ying's face.

"It's broken, I'm a stand-in!"
