I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 53
May nineteenth.

Chen Luo stared silently into the distance, and the scarlet red coat melted into the green hills, fluttering with the wind, like jumping flames.

Xiang Yu, who was standing a few steps in front of him, gestured towards the herald, and then the dark red command flag was waved in the air, and the soldiers who were advancing like flowing water stopped slowly.

The mighty river roars from the plateau, flows through the fertile [-]-mile Qinchuan River, and then rushes to the Central Plains. Its tributary Jishui in Hanoi County will flow through the three counties and finally enter the sea in Linzi County.

At this time, the ancient river was wandering quietly not far from them, not revealing his ferocious and violent side.

Some soldiers went to collect the boats crossing the river, and the rest naturally rested in place.

Although they can't start a fire and cook now, there is still time to eat some dry food and drink saliva.

After dismounting, Chen Luo found a clean grass and sat down cross-legged.

Xiang Yu on the side is not so leisurely. From time to time, he needs to answer questions from the general who came to him, or observe his own army formation, and make minor adjustments by sending the orderer to wave the flag, so as to ensure that he can respond quickly even if he is attacked suddenly, so as not to blow up the camp in a panic.

Seeing that he was done with work, Chen Luo said with emotion: "We have been away from Pengcheng for ten years, and we can already see the Yellow River now, and it probably won't be long before we can reach Puyang."

"That's right." Because of the limitation of the armor, Xiang Yu could only half-stretch and answer: "It will be there in three days. After we cross the river, Puyang City will be more than a hundred miles away."

After hearing this, Chen Luo simulated a rough topographical map in his mind.

There are very few surveying maps in the Qin Dynasty. Even after Chen Luo took over the county recently, he searched the government as soon as possible, but he still found very little.

As for the memory of the previous life, the general direction of the mountains he remembered was still useful, but the Yellow River had diverted countless times in history. Compared with the docile appearance of the later generations, the Yellow River at this time was very different.

Therefore, every time they travel tens of miles, they have to ask the local people to make sure that they have not deviated from the direction.

Chen Luo looked solemn and said, "Then it seems that it won't be so easy in the future."

They have not marched in a hurry these days, and the supply of food and grass is sufficient, so the total number of deserters and soldiers who died on the way is only more than 30, which is considered to be a solid military spirit.

Xiang Yu nodded and said: "The resistance forces I met before were all guards organized by local Qin officials. Even if I led twenty or thirty cavalry to charge back and forth several times, they would collapse immediately.

The willpower of the regular Qin army to fight will still be much stronger. At least I will charge into their core area and kill the generals to capture the flag, and they can still ensure the stability of the formation. "

The corners of Chen Luo's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "Your words are really... like the Qin army sweeping the six kingdoms into a mess, but I can't refute it yet."

Xiang Yu laughed: "I'm not mocking Qin Bing, the quality of their soldiers is indeed rare in the world, but one general is incompetent, exhausting the whole army, those famous generals back then are gone, who can be my opponent?"

When he said these words, his eyes were quite calm. After understanding his true ability, he would not feel that he was showing off or boasting when explaining the facts.

Chen Luo scratched his head: "Brother Yu, what would happen if you were against Shang Bai Qi? If you were in Changping back then, would you have defeated Qin?"

This question is a bit like Guan Gong vs Qin Qiong, but there are countless people comparing ancient famous generals in various forums in later generations, and it is commonplace to quarrel with thousands of floors.

So now I am idle and bored, and I happen to be discussing with the parties who are at the top of the list of famous generals. Of course, I am here to satisfy my curiosity.

Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and thought about this question seriously for a moment.

Then, he raised his head and replied confidently: "Let us each lead 10 people, and the Baiqi army will definitely not be able to stop my charge. As for the Battle of Changping, why should I fight him in Changping?"

Chen Luo understood what Xiang Yu said.

With less than 10 people, Bai Qi can't stop him. As for the number of leaders on both sides increasing, Xiang Yu chooses to avoid this topic.

But for Xiang Yu's last answer, he continued to ask: "Why didn't brother Yu fight in the Changping battle?"

"The chances of winning are too low. If you fight in Changping, you can only be killed by Bai Qi, not to mention that King Zhao Xiaocheng is unreliable." Xiang Yu curled his lips, "King Wuling of Zhao practiced cavalry and archery in Hufu. With such a huge advantage in Zhao Guo's cavalry, he insisted on fighting against the Qin army. I don't know what they think."

He pointed to himself: "If you want me to go, why waste time with them in Shangdang, take [-] cavalry around Jinyang, anyway, they come and go like the wind, and Qin's counties and cities are all our granaries, so we don't even have to worry about supplies... I really don't know what King Zhao thinks."

"You think that everyone in Zhao Guo is as fierce as you, if they are famous..." Chen Luo paused silently.

Zhao Guo really has a famous general.

Lian Po, who listened to Guo Kai's sentence "If you sit with your ministers, you will lose three arrows", Zhao Wang abandoned it; Li Mu, who was bribed by Qin State, framed him and was killed by Zhao Wang.

From this point of view, Zhao Guo has a god general Guo Kai who "contested against the second of the four great generals of the Warring States Period with his own strength"!
How can you say that there are no famous generals?
"This question is really tricky. Even if Bai Qi stands up to the group of gods and men in Zhao Guochaotang, they will probably have to drink their hatred in advance." Chen Luo shrugged.

The two chatted for a while, and there was a command flag waving in the distance.

Afterwards, the heralds from all over the army saw this, and after translating the semaphore, they all started waving the command flags in their hands, conveying the message to be expressed layer by layer from front to back.

It is extremely efficient to use command flags to convey messages in the military formation.

The commanding flag officer in Xiang Yu's section waved the commanding flag in his hand, and then walked respectfully: "General, the ferry boats ahead have been collected. There are 27 large boats and 56 small boats. It takes less than half an hour to go back and forth. One round can transport 500 people."

"Understood." Xiang Yu said lightly, "You pass down the order, the front army stays on the spot and guards, and the Chinese army moves forward to cross the river first."

"Yes, General." After receiving the instruction, the herald quickly returned to his original position and waved the command flag.

Not long after, the resting soldiers stood up one after another, the front army moved to the sides to give way, and the central army began to move forward slowly.

Chen Luo had mounted his horse again, holding a spear of appropriate weight.

"By the way, what's your intention behind this sudden change of formation?" He half turned around and asked.

The most convenient thing about following the boss is being able to ask questions at any time to understand the deep meaning of the other party's actions.

Just like Xiang Yu's last stand and Han Xin's last stand in history, the tactics they used at the beginning seemed to be "unreasonable".

After the big victory, many people suddenly realized that it turned out that they could not understand the operation of the boss.

But these seemingly outrageous actions can often turn the situation around and change the outcome of a war.

If you want to learn a few tricks secretly, isn't now the best opportunity?

Thinking of this, Chen Luo looked at Xiang Yu expectantly, waiting for an answer.
