Qiang Qin

When Fusu rescued Zhang Liang and rushed to Shangjun, Jiujiang City had already fought several battles, and the result was still tied.At this time, in the Chu army camp outside the city, Xiang Liang was discussing with Fan Zeng how to take down the city. "Mr. Fan, it's been half a month, and we still haven't been able to enter the city. Now that I, Dachu, are already in panic, if we don't capture Jiujiang City, it will definitely cause even greater panic." Xiang Liang has no future at this time. Some days of calm.That day, he wanted to attract the Qin army and gather them together to annihilate them, but after a few battles, he also knew that the fighting power of the Qin army could not be easily defeated, so he could only hope to get back Jiujiang City as soon as possible.

"General, this time I didn't expect the Qin army to be so tenacious. It was completely different from the enemies we faced before, and they still took advantage of the city. If we hadn't won a game at the beginning, the enemy would not dare to leave the city easily. , I’m afraid they have already sent someone to fight us.” Fan Zeng seemed helpless.

At this moment, Xiang Yu hurried in and said loudly, "Uncle, why haven't you attacked the city these days?"

Xiang Liang took a look at this nephew who was brave but not resourceful and said, "Now that the strength of the two sides is about the same, we must not allow our soldiers to sacrifice in vain."

"But if we don't attack, the Qin people may have backup, and it will be dangerous for us to be attacked by the enemy." Xiang Yu said anxiously.

Xiang Liang also felt that Xiang Yu's words were unreasonable, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "But the Qin army has more people than our army, and they still defend the city. How can we defeat them?"

"My nephew led [-] elite soldiers to go to the city to die. I don't believe that our Chu army can't take Jiujiang City. If Mr. Fan hadn't said that he wanted to persuade Yu Fulong to surrender, I would have taken it down long ago." Xiang Yu He gave Fan Zeng a contemptuous look.

"No, general. Little generals can't put themselves in danger. This is not what a coach should do." Fan Zeng objected immediately, as if he didn't see Xiang Yu's contemptuous eyes.

"Mr. Fan, you are so timid, how can our Chu army drive the Qin people away from the Chu land, and how can we restore our old land of Great Chu?" Xiang Yu stared at Fan Zeng and asked loudly.

"I..." Fan Zeng answered for a moment.

"Yu'er, don't be courteous to Mr. Fan, he must have deep meaning when he says that." Xiang Liang hurriedly scolded.

But Xiang Yu didn't listen to his uncle at all, and continued to ask: "What's the meaning of that. It's not a good idea to advance or retreat outside of Jiujiang City like this. Aren't you making fun of us? Uncle, don't you know that the soldiers are already right now? This situation is quite critical, and if it continues like this, the morale of the army will be weakened."

In fact, Fan Zeng also knows that doing so will inevitably lower the morale of the Chu army, but he also knows that if he really launches a fierce attack on Jiujiang City regardless of the consequences, the loss will be too great, and it is still a matter of time to say whether Jiujiang City can be taken down. .But what Xiang Yu said was the truth, and for a while he was far-sighted and out of control.Seeing Fan Zeng's expression, Xiang Liang knew that he had no way to convince his nephew, and he also knew Xiang Yu's personality. If he couldn't convince him, he wouldn't even pay attention to the king of heaven, so he had no choice but to say: "Yu'er, wait for another three days, after three days, we will have a good way to break the city."

"Okay, then I'll wait another three days. If I can't break through the city in three days, I will lead the army to attack." Xiang Yu glared at Fan Zeng again before leaving the camp.

"The general said that after three days, is there really a plan to break the city?" Fan Zeng asked with some doubts. He himself has no way to break the city anyway.

Xiang Liang smiled wryly and said: "This general is helpless now, but if we don't appease Xia Yu'er and the soldiers below, I'm afraid we won't be able to restrain ourselves, and the ones who will lose at that time will be our Dachu troops."

Xiang Liang was unable to enter the city outside the city, and Bai Ban and Zhao Changke in the city were also having a hard time.In the past few days, the Chu people have stopped attacking the city, but the Qin soldiers can't go out of the city. Hundreds of thousands of horses gather in the city, how can they be peaceful, so people are killed every day because of personal grievances, and the people in the city It was even more empty by Qin Bing's guns. If this continues, the people in the city will rise up against them without the attack of the Chu army outside the city.Thinking of this, Bai Ban's head started to hurt. It's not that he didn't give an order not to allow Qin soldiers to harass the people, but he only got 5 to [-] of his own troops, and he couldn't punish Zhao Changke's troops, so he is today I came specifically to Zhao Changke to persuade him to restrain the troops, but unexpectedly, after waiting for almost half an hour, he still hadn't appeared. "Zhao Changke didn't take me seriously just because he was Zhao Gao's younger brother. If Jiujiang City hadn't been taken down with my help, I'm afraid he might not even let me in." Bai Ban was full of anger .

"General Bai, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao Changke walked in while wearing a robe belt when the white shift could hardly wait any longer.

"It's already noon, and you just got up? How do you become a general of the army?" Bai Ban was a straightforward person, and he blamed Zhao Changke when he saw Zhao Changke's appearance.

"Hey, it was my soldiers who caught two spies yesterday. I interrogated them all night, and I didn't sleep until this morning."

"The spies are two women, right?" Bai Ban sneered, that's why he came here.

"General Bai's eyes and ears are also very sharp, since he knows everything about me clearly." Zhao Changke was a little annoyed.

"General Zhao, now we are guarding this isolated city, foreign reinforcements, you can no longer stir up civil uprisings among the people in the city, otherwise we will be trapped internally and externally." Bai Banyu said earnestly.

"The general knows. Don't worry, General Bai. I won't lose the city because of these things." I won't be with you anymore."

Bai Ban stared at him for a long time before saying: "Then General Zhao can take a rest." Then he left without looking back.

Looking at Bai Ban's back, Zhao Changke sneered and said, "Don't tell me what to do just because you helped me take down Jiujiang City."

There was a big tree outside the prefect's mansion, the branches and leaves on the tree were luxuriant, making it difficult for people to see the scene above through the leaves. At this time, there was a man lying on it, and he had been lying on it for a long time. "I don't know what happened to Miss and the others. I heard that they disappeared after they came here that day. It seems that they were captured by these Qin people." He was Lao Chen. There were too many people in the city that day, causing him He and Yu Ziyan were separated, and he finally got to know the news of the two, so he lay down here and waited for the dark.

It was finally getting dark, and Lao Chen quickly got down from the tree, and then took a thumb-thick rope from his waist, and threw it onto a tree in the backyard of the prefect's mansion. In order to test his strength, he swung into the backyard by the rope. "I haven't done this kind of thing for 20 years. I don't know if my skills are rusty." While thinking, Lao Chen untied the rope from the tree and wrapped him around his waist.

After avoiding two batches of patrolling guards, Lao Chen had come to a row of wing rooms.Although he lived here for a long time, he still couldn't find out where Yu Ziyan was, so he hid in the dark and waited for the person who placed orders to arrive.When he arrived, a girl appeared in front of him, and he immediately stretched out his hand and held her in front of him: "Don't call, or I will kill you right away."

The girl nodded in fear, her eyes full of fear: "You... who are you, come... what are you doing here?"

"Where are the two women captured outside the prefect's mansion a few days ago?"

The girl obviously knew what old Chen was referring to, and hurriedly pointed to the small attic where Yu Ziyan lived before. "They can still live there. It seems that they haven't suffered much." Old Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and then knocked the girl unconscious with one palm.

"Uncle Chen, are you here to save us?" Yu Ziyan said in surprise when she saw Lao Chen suddenly flashing into the room.

"Miss, come with me." Old Chen didn't say much, and after seeing Yu Ziyan, he led them to the escape route he had designed.Everything went smoothly, and the three of them came to the courtyard wall without anyone noticing.Old Chen threw the rope out again, this time the target was the tree outside the courtyard that he had been lying on for a long time, and then tied one end of the rope to Yu Ziyan's body, and he swung around Yu Ziyan's waist. After getting up, Qing Ming will wait for him to send the young lady away before coming to pick her up.

Seeing that they were about to succeed, there was a sudden shout: "There are spies!" Following this, many guards ran from everywhere, holding powerful crossbows in their hands, and the arrows on them The arrow shone coldly under the light of the torch.

As soon as he saw that his actions were exposed, Lao Chen wanted to swing out immediately, but unexpectedly, an arrow came over and hit the rope that was no more than the thickness of a thumb, and then he said, "Good skill, but you still can't run away." The two fell to the ground in response, and he turned his head to look, and saw a man in his 30s with a murderous look on his face.He laughed and said: "The general knew that Yu Fulong's remnants would come to rescue his niece, so he let Zhao Changke put them under house arrest. Today I finally let me wait." This person is Bai Ban. "I think you'd better capture it without a fight, otherwise I can't promise to save your life."

Lao Chen looked at the crossbowmen surrounded by him a few feet away, knowing that no matter how fast his movements were, he could not match the crossbow arrows. He sighed, and put Yu Ziyan back on the ground: "I never thought that there would be such a powerful fighter in the Qin army." General, I don't know who you are?"

"Bai Ban." Bai Ban said plainly.

"It turned out that it was General Bai who defeated the Zhao people together with Zhang Han. I don't complain about losing." Old Chen smiled wryly.

"Come and tie him up, the general wants to ask him about his origin." Bai Ban ordered, and the soldiers went up and tied up Lao Chen in a few strokes.At this time, Zhao Changke also rushed over after hearing the news, and he was secretly happy when he saw this scene. If this person came to assassinate him, he might be in danger.

"General Bai, leave him to me." Zhao Changke pointed at Yu Ziyan and the two women.

"I captured the man this time, why did I give it to you?" Bai Ban turned to his soldiers and said, "Take him to my side." Zhao Changke, who had a livid face, walked away without thinking.The anger he received the day before yesterday was returned to Zhao Changke today.
