Destiny Only Han

Chapter 307 Liu Ying: Who Says Those Who Stand in the Light Are Heroes
On the north bank of the Huai River, Liu Ying angrily walked to the other side amidst Mei Yan's embarrassment and asked Ding Fu to organize the crossing.

Although he was muttering in his heart that he should be killed if he lost his time, he actually understood very well that it was not the other party's fault that Mei Yan did not block the Huaishui Ferry in time.

After all, neither Liu Ying nor Han Xin thought that Xiang Yu would be defeated so quickly.

On the first day, the Han army only attacked tentatively. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu directly stud, and then the two sides fought a big battle.

Immediately after the next day, the decisive battle began...

Xiang Yu should take the blame for Mei Yan's disappointment!
And beheaded!
Liu Ying, who has a prophetic perspective, had already made up her mind when Mei Yan's fleet arrived.

Anyway, Xiang Yu crossed the river from this side, so he must be heading for Dongcheng County. A person with a 40-meter long knife will not care that his opponent runs 39 meters first.

Moreover, the number of captives captured through previous interrogations and the number of Chu soldiers who successfully crossed the Huai River was less than a hundred, and bulky things such as food and grass were left on the north bank.

Liu Ying calculated from a hastily found map that it was about seven or eight hundred miles (equivalent to less than three hundred kilometers) from Gaixia to Wujiang Pavilion in Dongcheng, so although it was a bit late, it was not difficult to catch up with Xiang Yu.

After all, they had one person and two horses on their side, and they had already fed the horses with soybeans at the beginning of the pursuit, while Xiang Yu's side had one person and one horse, and they ran desperately. The people could withstand it, but the speed of the horses would definitely be greatly reduced.

Well, this is a classic catch-up problem...

………………

South of the Huai River, at the junction of Zhongli County (now Fengyang, Anhui) and Yinling County (now Dingyuan County, Anhui).

Xiang Yu leaned on his horse and led the crowd to gallop.

In the clatter of horseshoes, except for a little panting, there was no voice of conversation.

Their lives were exchanged by Pao Ze on the other side.

The indomitable charge to the death, the rain of arrows that covered the sky like locusts, and the figure that fell to the ground like a hedgehog, were constantly replaying in their minds.

But all they can do is run, turn around and run!
Once upon a time, the heroism of Baier Qinguan, which eventually belonged to Chu, fell like this!
Shame, anger, sadness... all kinds of emotions spread in their hearts.

But at this time, it seemed as if the sky was playing tricks on them. The thick clouds dispersed before, the sky was on fire, and the golden scene was replaced by the steaming morning mist again.

The fog is pervasive and hazy, and the mountains and rivers in the distance are looming, like a fairyland.

If a literati with money and leisure sees it, he must make a few coquettish poems and leave a famous one handed down from generation to generation.

But for Xiang Yu who was fleeing for his life, it was like a leak in the house and rain all night.

The reason is very simple, in this kind of weather where people and animals cannot be distinguished within ten paces, they, outsiders, got lost...

Although I have been running along the road, I can always run to a place where there are people.

But if you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, you may be in the opposite direction. If you run into the pursuers of the Han army, it will be a lot of fun!
Xiang Yu reined in his horse, and after a moment of stunned, relying on his previous memory, after galloping for a long time, he finally came across a dilapidated Lifang.

So, everyone was overjoyed.

In the era without satellite navigation, local guides were undoubtedly human navigation.

bump!
The soldiers next to Xiang Yu kicked away a fairly tidy residential house and rushed in quickly.

Inside the house, two figures, one old and one young, curled up on a straw mat made of straw.

The old man has gray hair and age spots all over his face, while the young one has yellow hair and drooping hair. The two have the same thing in that they are yellow and thin, and their clothes are thin and torn.

Xiang Yu walked in, frowning slightly because of the turbid smell in the room, but still forced out a smile.

"Dare to ask the old man, is the road to Dongcheng left or right?"

At this moment, the sky is full of fog, and the direction is unclear. Even if I ask it clearly now, I will get lost again after going around twice in the fog.

Therefore, it is better to use the left and right way of guidance.

The old man was silent for a long time, trembling all over his body. Although Xiang Yu was anxious, he didn't say anything to urge him.

After all, this is the only family left in such a big Lifang.

Moreover, it is normal for an old farmer in the country to be suddenly frightened and speechless.

If the old man answered fluently, then Xiang Yu would feel that there was something wrong.

After a while, the old man stretched out a yellow and thin hand, pointed to Xiang Yu's left hand and said, "After leaving Lifang, the left..."

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, and walked out of the room slowly, but after turning around, he changed his raised left hand to his right.

After all, after turning around, left becomes right.

If you get it wrong, you are on the wrong track unless you go around the earth.

Behind Xiang Yu, soldiers of the Chu army also came out without delay.

At this moment, Qiu has done nothing wrong, mainly because there are pursuers behind, and there are only two people here, an old man and a young man, otherwise they will inevitably slaughter the village to vent the anger that was suppressed in their chests before.

After Xiang Yu left, the shivering child who was curled up in the old man's arms slowly raised his head and asked softly, "Wai Weng, isn't that the way to Daze?"

That voice was clearly a Qilu accent.

The old man nodded slowly, then hugged the child tightly, and whispered, "Do you know who killed your parents, uncle and others?"

…………

At the Huaishui Ferry, although it was also covered with fog at the moment, but fortunately there was no wind and waves, so after the torches were lit on the other side, the rush to cross was still going on.

Moreover, under the search of the rangers sent by Liu Ying, hundreds of boatmen who were proficient in hydrology were invited back, and the speed of the ferry suddenly increased to a higher level.

Well, really please.

Pay by boat, ten dollars per boat.

Time is shameless, piecework is not life.

Stimulated by money, the boatmen almost shake the oars to sparks...

However, Liu Ying was stranded on the north bank of the Huai River at this moment, and was doing extreme pulling with Lu Wan Guanying.

Guan Ying caught up with him because he chased Xiang Yu south immediately.

Lu Wan, on the other hand, was the Chu army who happened to be on the southern front to command the soldiers to encircle and break through. After hearing that Liu Ying led the guards to pursue Xiang Yu, she handed over the command to Liu Jia, and led a hundred cavalry to chase up.

Liu Ying squatted on the ground and began to piss.

He managed to get here, and if Lu Wan catches him back, not only will he be angered by Liu Bang, but he will also fall short of success!
Facing Liu Ying's howling attack, Guan Ying was a little at a loss.

But Lu Wan crossed her arms, as if you howl as you like, but Naigong can't hear you.

Seeing that Sapo was ineffective, Liu Ying had to squat on the ground without saying a word.

Suddenly, Lu Wan strode forward and pinched him directly under his arm: "Do you know what kind of promise your father made in order to bring you back safely?"

Liu Ying kicked her feet weakly in the air a few times, but found that it didn't work at all, so she tried her best to raise her head and asked, "Uncle, in your life, besides my father, is there anyone else you care about?"

Lu Wan said as she walked, "Of course, you, your eldest father..."

Liu Ying interrupted: "I mean other things, such as women?"

Lu Wan froze for a moment, a look of desolation flashed across her face.

Liu Ying was just provoking trouble. He didn't go to the Chu army camp to find Yu Ji's whereabouts, but it didn't mean he didn't miss her.

But at this moment, he has the responsibility to say nothing, and among the Chu army, how can Yu Ji, a frail woman, survive the chaos?
So Lu Wan did this to keep the best scene of the other party in her heart forever.

So he clamped Liu Ying's arm and began to exert force until Liu Ying screamed in pain.

"No matter what you want to say, Naigong will send you back to your father today!"

Lu Wan gritted her teeth and strode towards her mount.

Lu, if my mother hears this sentence, you will die... Liu Ying complained in her heart, but she still didn't want to give up:

"Uncle, let me tell you a little secret. The day before yesterday, I stole a man and a horse from the Chu army!"

"That horse's name is Wu Zai. Guess who that man is?"

In an instant, Lu Wan froze, as if she had lost all her strength, and as soon as her arms were loosened, Liu Ying fell to the ground with a thud...

I was really beeping the dog... Liu Ying slowly got up, but fortunately he was wearing thick enough at the moment, so he didn't bump into it.

He looked up at Lu Wan whose lips were twitching slightly, and said with a smile: "If uncle is willing to follow me to make a break with Xiang Yu..."

"it is good!"

Lu Wan didn't wait for him to finish, she said something hastily, and then dragged Liu Ying to the ferry.

........................

West of Yinling County, Daze.

This is a wetland formed by several rivers such as Haoshui Chishui and the flowing water from the southern foot of Moxie Mountain (not Mogan Mountain).

In the dense fog, Xiang Yu listened to the guidance of the locals and rushed in.

In an instant, the dozen or so riders who took the lead got stuck in the quagmire.

And Xiang Yu's people who followed him couldn't stop falling into the swamp.

"Hurry up and save people!"

"Where's the rope? Where's the rope?"

The last few dozen cavalry jumped off their horses one after another, searching for all available supplies.

As bandits in the water town, they naturally know how to rescue them if they accidentally fall into the swamp.

But at this moment, in a hurry, he couldn't find the rope at all.

In desperation, they had no choice but to untie their trouser belts and connect them together, and threw them at Xiang Yu who was struggling in the mud.

But because of the lack of ropes and too many people jumping into the swamp, after a while of panic, there were only 28 people left...

Xiang Yu stood there covered in mud, wanting to cry but not crying.

The local people are so unreasonable!

No injustice, no enmity, why is this!
But after tidying up for a while, Xiang Yu decided to endure it.

Returning to Jiangdong is important, killing an old farmer in the countryside to vent his anger is really not worth it!

And at this moment, the morning fog has shown signs of dissipating. If he can return to the original place, with Xiang Yu's military talent, he can completely rely on himself to find the right path.

So, on the road from Yinling County to Wujiang Pavilion in Dongcheng, Xiang Yu, who was galloping, suddenly reined in his horse, with a look of horror written on his face.

On the road to the north, hooves sound like thunder, and banners are flying.

Lu Wan sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Hey, isn't this the Overlord of Western Chu? I haven't seen you in a few years, so why?"
