Destiny Only Han

Chapter 90
Nanyang County, Huyang County (now Tanghe County, Nanyang City).

At dawn, the two hastily marching armies met twenty miles outside the city.

In an instant, both sides drew up their postures in the silence, their swords drawn, ready to fight.

Among a group of troops wearing black leather armor and holding the red Chu Army battle flag, a man with a Chinese character face and dressed as a general frowned, hesitating how to deal with this sudden situation.

His name is Wang Ling, from Pei County.

Because Liu Bang was the first to become Peigong, and Wang Ling always looked down on Liu Bang, so he was unwilling to be subordinated to others, so he led the army to go south and defected to Gong Ao of the Zhu State of Chu State, and then followed the opponent to conquer Nanjun and regain Ying, the old capital of Chu State. city.

Now Nanjun Dading, so he led the army northward, as the vanguard of the Communist Ao Army, to attack Nanyang County.

Unexpectedly, in the south of Huyang County, they encountered this army that appeared from the east inexplicably.

The two sides confronted for a while, the darkness before dawn gradually dissipated, and the sun gradually jumped out of the horizon.

At this time, Wang Ling saw the whole picture of the hostile army.

Tattoos with broken hair, bare feet and short clothes, and weapons in his hands are completely in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, which makes him feel as if he has been separated from another world.

"This is..." He murmured softly, frowning.

But in the next moment, he seemed to think of something, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief:
"This is the Yue army under Mr. Fan. Didn't they follow Xiang Yu to fight in the north? Why did they appear here?"

The Fan Jun he mentioned refers to Wu Rui who was active in Lujiang County for a generation. This person is after the clan of the Wu Kingdom.

After the Uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guangda Ze Township, Wu Rui, as Panyang Commander, directly raised troops against Qin and conquered the city. Later, he married his daughter to Dangyang Lord Yingbu, took refuge in Xiang Liang, and surrendered to Chu State.

When Wang Ling was stunned, the opposite army also recognized their identities.

A young man with a height of eight feet stepped out of the crowd, walked towards Chu Jun with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly:

"A certain Naifan Jun's general, Mei Yan, who is here?"

"Ranghou Royal Tomb!"

Wang Ling also strode out, hugged and smiled with Mei Yan.

Mei Yan asked, "Where is Ranghou going?"

Wang Ling said proudly, "Keep Huyang, occupy Nanyang, break through Wuguan, and destroy Tyrant Qin!"

Mei Yan laughed loudly: "Someone also has this intention, go together, go together..."

Wang Ling looked at the army behind Mei Yan. There were about four or five thousand people, which seemed to be different from his own strength. If the two were combined in one place, Huyang County would definitely be conquered.

He nodded in agreement, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that the general came here at the order of Mr. Fan?"

Mei Yan smiled awkwardly, but just nodded without saying anything.

In fact, he was run on by Wu Rui, so he left Wu Rui and came out to work alone.

Well, Wu Rui is the clan of the Wu Kingdom, while Mei Yun is the clan of the Yue Kingdom. The feud between the two families can be mentioned as Fuchai and Goujian...

Seeing this, Wang Ling didn't go into it. Anyway, no matter what kind of conflicts Mei Yan and Wu Rui have, as long as they oppose Qin, we are friends!

…………

Huyang County.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw the mighty army approaching in the distance, they immediately raised the suspension bridge and sounded the gong as a warning.

About an hour later, Wang Ling led his army outside the city wall of Huyang County, and he suddenly froze.

On the top of the city in the distance, the black and white Qin State flag disappeared, replaced by the blood-red Chu State banner!
Wang Ling was furious, blew his beard and stared loudly and shouted:
"What's the situation? Call the scouts, if he dares to play Naigong, Naigong will skin him!"

But soon, with his sharp eyes, he found a familiar figure standing on the top of the wall.

Wang Ling strode forward, and gradually saw who that person was.

Zhou Bo, drummer of Pei County Song and Dance Troupe!

At this moment, Zhou Bo felt a little rejoiced that Huyang County would be in the hands of others just one day away!

He has a good relationship with Liu Bang, so he won't have a good face towards Wang Ling.

But that was a long time ago.

Zhou Bo shouted loudly with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm still so energetic!"

Wang Ling raised his head and went straight in: "Didn't Huben Ling go to the west with Marquis Wu'an? How could he be here?"

Zhou Bo smiled and said, "I don't know about Ranghou. Huanju, the governor of Nanyang County, has surrendered to Chu State. He has [-] households in Shiyi and has been granted the title of Marquis of Yin! Therefore, the Marquis of Wu'an sent us to take over the counties of Nanyang County one by one!"

Wang Ling nodded and said: "Then, Nanyang County is now owned by our Chu State! If that's the case, don't put down the suspension bridge and let our army enter the city to repair it!"

Zhou Bo shook his head: "The Marquis of Wu'an has an order. In order to prevent soldiers from harassing Li Shu, all the troops are stationed outside the city and are not allowed to enter the city! Please also ask the Marquis to lead his troops to camp outside the city, and I will send people to deliver wine, meat, food and rice later!"

Wang Ling's eyes flashed sharply, but he saw that the city of Huyang County was nearly three feet high, and it was filled with soldiers indistinctly, so he gave up the idea of ​​storming the city, and ordered the army to garrison according to Zhou Bo's words.

He looked back at Zhou Bo and asked, "Where is Marquis Wu'an?"

Zhou Bo cupped his hands and said, "The Marquis of Wu'an has led his troops towards Danshui. If Ranghou also wants to destroy Qin, he can go north by himself!"

After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Ling leaving straight away.

At this moment, many of the soldiers on the city wall were armored on wooden stakes. If Wang Ling really attacked the city, he might have to run away first, and then get his share back!
Zhou Bo walked down the wall and looked at Chen Xi who came with him: "I heard that the young master asked you to domesticate a bird that can send messages?"

Chen Xi raised his head and corrected silently: "Pigeon."

Zhou Boman said indifferently: "Never mind what it is, can it deliver the letter I wrote to Marquis Wu'an?"

Chen Xi nodded: "It can only be sent to Wan County. Pigeons recognize their homes, not people."

Zhou Bo was overjoyed: "That's fine. Anyway, this place is very close to Wan County. Use pigeons to send the letter back, and ask Fan Kui to bring people over quickly! If it is too late, the suspicious soldiers on the city wall will definitely be spotted by Wang Ling! At that time, Huyang County If it is lost, the door of Wan County will be wide open, and at least half of Nanyang County will be taken away by Wang Ling!"

Although everyone is Chu Jun, it would be naive to say that they believe that others will not stab a knife in the back.

Hmm, like Yong Chi back then.

Chen Xi cupped his hands and said, "Please write to Hu Benling immediately, and I'll pick out some pigeons right away!"

After a while, seven or eight pigeons with strong physiques who had reported a meal soared into the sky, carrying Zhou Bo's letter of plea for help, and headed all the way to Wan County.

At this moment, the superiority of carrier pigeon communication is reflected.

In the past, it took two or three hours to ride a horse, but in the pigeon's ride through the wind and clouds, it didn't even take an hour.

Wan County Sheriff's Mansion.

Ji Xin, who was exercising swordsmanship with Fan Kui, saw the pigeons falling from the sky, and his heart was ringing with alarm.

He rushed into the back kitchen, lured the pigeons over with a few handfuls of broken rice, untied the silk cloth from their feet and handed them to Fan Kuai.

"The bastard Wang Ling is here too!"
