Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 369
Han Xin sat up with the support of Han Kan and Han He. Lou Jing hurriedly brought a cushion and put it on Han Xin's back. Han Xin leaned on the cushion and looked up at Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi, The four generals Xu Qing and Lu Zhang asked quietly, "So the Chu army has already crossed the Zishui River?"

Cheng Hei trembled when he heard the words, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the final general is incompetent."

Zhao Xi was also full of shame, and said: "Your Majesty, please punish my crimes!"

Xu Qing and Lu Zhang also bowed their hands at the same time, asking Han Xin for punishment.

On the side, Lou Jing was frowning. Compared with the battle in front of him, he was more worried about Han Xin's safety. The Gongsun imperial physician had told him that the king could not stand the slightest stimulation. The division crossed the Zishui River, and the Qi army was already in danger. How could the king not be stimulated?

Han Xin frowned and said impatiently, "I want to know the process."

Cheng Hei bit the bullet and told the whole process of the Chu army crossing the river separately.

"So that's it." Han Xin nodded and sighed, "The Chu army solved the widow's deceitful death scheme so easily, which is really beyond the widow's expectations." He said, "I can't blame you for this matter. Even if you are a widow, I'm afraid you can't stop the Chu army from crossing the river. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi, Xu Qing, and Lu Zhang got up one after another.

Han Xin took a breath, and said to Han Kan and Han He, "Kan'er, He'er, change your clothes for my father."

Han Kan was simple and honest by nature, and he was about to step forward with a yell, but was stopped by Han He. Han He stretched out his hand to stop Han Kan, and asked Han Dao with an anxious expression, "Father, what do you want?"

Lou Jing also said anxiously: "Your Majesty, your arrow sores haven't passed, why can't you go into battle?"

"Yaxiang, what else do you have to do?" Han Xin smiled and said, "The Chu army has already crossed the Zishui River. If the widow doesn't show up again, Xiang Zhuang's son should know that the widow must be seriously injured!"

At noon, Xiang Zhuang straddled a black horse, surrounded by Bailixian, Jinxiang, Huyan and hundreds of Yulin guards, and slowly galloped up to the small hill in the northeast corner of the Qi army camp, and stood on the hill , it happened to be condescending to have a panoramic view of the Qi army camp. At this moment, the riots in the Qi army camp had already subsided.

Hu Yanweng said to Jin Xiang angrily: "The Qi army's riot is indeed fake."

Jin Xiang nodded, and echoed in a low voice: "I didn't expect this to be a trap."

Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, pointed at the Qi army camp in front of him with the whip in his hand, turned his head and asked Bailixian, "Ziliang, it seems that the Qi army's riots are indeed fake, so tell me, is Han Xin alive or dead?" ?”

Bai Lixian raised his feather fan to block the glare of the noon sun, and said thoughtfully: "Whether Han Xin is alive or dead, the king will know soon. If Han Xin is not dead, then the Qi army will soon go out to fight. , if Han Xin is dead, then the Qi army will most likely not be able to retreat and wait for us to attack."

##########
The big camp of the Qi army and the big tent of the Chinese army.

Han He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said to Han Xin: "Father, you just said that if you don't show up again, Xiang Zhuang should know that you have been seriously injured, right?"

Han Xin nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

Han He smiled slightly, and said again: "Since this is the case, why doesn't the father come to lure the enemy again?"

"Luring the enemy again?" Han Xin looked at Han He softly and asked, "How to lure the enemy?"

Han He said: "If the father does not show up, Xiang Zhuang will know that you have been seriously injured, then Xiang Zhuang will definitely mobilize the army to attack our camp. Wouldn't it be more likely to win a field battle than to consume the spirit and strength of the Chu army?"

Han Xin shook his head slightly and sighed, "He'er, you are still young."

##########
On the hill, Jin Xiangce immediately stepped forward and said to Xiang Zhuang: "My lord, the Qi army has not moved much until now. It seems that Han Xin is probably dead, and even if he is not dead, there is only one breath left. The Qi army must be at the moment People's hearts are fluctuating and the morale of the army is slack, why not launch a frontal attack immediately and defeat them in one go?"

"A frontal attack?" Xiang Zhuang waved his hands and said calmly, "Why do you want to attack?"

"No force attack?" Jin Xiang asked in amazement, "We crossed the Zishui River, isn't it just to defeat the Qi army?"

"You don't need to attack by force to defeat the Qi army." Xiang Zhuang disagreed, "If Han Xin is really dead, the [-] Qi army in front of us is just a bunch of chickens and dogs. I have plenty of ways to deal with them, so why rush?"

"But, but..." Jin Xiang scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Our military rations are running out."

"If you don't have enough rations, kill the mules and horses and stew them with wild vegetables!" Xiang Zhuang said, "I would rather kill the horses for rations than risk the lives of the soldiers!" If [-] mules and horses were really slaughtered and stewed with wild vegetables as military rations, they would be enough to last for a while.

##########
The big camp of the Qi army and the big tent of the Chinese army.

Han Xin sighed and said: "The Chu army can't afford it, but we can't afford it even more. For the present plan, only the few people who openly show up to put pressure on Xiangzhuang may be able to scare the Chu army away. Otherwise, the situation is in danger. !"

Lou Jing nodded silently, there seemed to be no other way except for the king to show up in public.

Han Xin raised his hands with difficulty, and said to Han Kan and Han He, "Come, change clothes for Weifu."

##########
On the hill, Xiang Zhuang reined in his horse and turned around, calling Baili Xian and saying, "Ziliang, let's go back."

Bai Lixian nodded, and when he was about to put down the feather fan on his forehead, his eyes suddenly focused, as if he had discovered something unusual, Xiang Zhuang's heart jumped suddenly, and before he could turn his horse's head again, behind him The low-pitched horn has already sounded. This is... the horn of the Qi army?

Reining in the horse and turning back, there was movement in the Qi army camp.

Groups of Qi troops are rushing out from various tents and gathering towards the gate.

When the gate opened, teams of armored soldiers of the Qi army rushed out like a torrent of steel, followed by teams of light soldiers and dead soldiers, as well as teams of archers, flying soldiers, etc. Spearmen, and even a small amount of cavalry, but what surprised Xiang Zhuang the most was the purple banner of King Qi!

Qi Wang Dazhu turned out to be Han Xin's Qi Wang Dazhu, Han Xin is not dead? !

Almost at the same time, Bai Lixian also turned his head to look at Xiang Zhuang, his eyes were full of seriousness.

Jin Xiang exclaimed even more in a low voice: "Han Xin's King of Qi Dazhu? No, it's impossible!"

Before the words were finished, a tall watch chariot had slowly risen from the Qi army formation, and the purple Qi Wang banner also rose to a higher place with the watch chariot, and Xiang Zhuang put on the awning to move forward Looking around, I saw a familiar figure standing impressively on the towering observation car, dressed in a white robe and covered with a purple cloak, Han Xin, who else could there be besides Han Xin? !
"What's going on here?" At this moment, Xiang Zhuang couldn't believe his eyes. Han Xin was hit by Youyuan's three arrows, especially the one that hurt his back, which was definitely a fatal one. But now, Han Xin hit again Appearing on the battlefield alive, could it be said that the person shot and killed by You Yuan in Huanglongdang yesterday was just a counterfeit?
Bai Lixian put down the feather fan slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, maybe this is a fake!"

Xiang Zhuang nodded lightly, suddenly an inexplicable fierce light burst into his eyes, and he said fiercely: "Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it?" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang turned back and ordered Jin Xiang to say, "Order, the left part of the left battalion and the front part of the right battalion use cutting tactics to pinch the Qi army from the left and right wings, and the front part of the right battalion pinches the Qi army from the front!"

"Here!" Jin Xiang replied loudly, and immediately urged the horse to gallop away.

A moment later, the horns of the Chu Army sounded from the west bank of the Zishui River. Amidst the continuous sound of the horns, clusters of Chu Army cavalry who had been cruising around the Qi Army's camp began to gather like a river flowing into the sea. In half a quarter of an hour, they gathered into two huge cavalry phalanxes.

##########
In the Qi army's main formation, Han Xin was "standing" against the wind on the towering lookout car.

Seeing Han Xin "safe and sound" appearing in the watch car, the generals and soldiers of the Qi army burst into cheers and their morale was greatly boosted. However, only the imperial guards closest to Han Xin could clearly see that the king's situation is actually not good. Huibai, Dou Da's cold sweat was already oozing from the corner of his forehead.

Han Xin's arrow sores hadn't healed, and the poison in his lungs hadn't been completely eliminated. If it wasn't for Cao Yu's covert support, Han Xin might have collapsed to the ground.

Not far away stood Lou Jing with a worried face. Lou Jing was really worried that Han Xin would die suddenly. If this happened, it would be nothing less than a huge disaster for the Qi army!

Although facing Lou Jing sideways, Han Xin seemed to have guessed the worry in Lou Jing's heart, and said in a low voice: "Yaxiang, are you worried that the widow will die suddenly? Hehe, in fact, you are worrying too much. Clearly, the arrow in the vest did inflict heavy damage on the widow, but within three to two years, the widow will not die."

Lou Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, and he will surely live a long life."

"Hundred years old?" Han Xin smiled, "Isn't this widow a grandpa?"

Before the words fell, the horns of the Chu Army suddenly sounded all around, and the rangers of the Chu Army who were originally scattered around the Qi Army camp quickly began to gather. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Chu Army cavalry gathered into two groups. A huge cavalry phalanx was formed, and then two teams of cavalry separated from the large formation, rolling towards the Qi army from the left and right wings.

Lou Jing sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Chu army has begun to attack."

"No." Han Xin waved his hand slightly and said, "Xiang Zhuang is just testing."

After saying this, Han Xin ordered Cao Yu again: "The order is that the left battalion of the left army and the right battalion of the right army will attack from the front, entangle the cavalry of the Chu army on the two wings of the detour, and the bow battalion of the left army and the bow battalion of the right army will try their best to suppress the enemy's cavalry and shooting. , the front battalion of the left army and the front battalion of the right army moved forward at full speed, and then rolled back their wings, eating these two Chu cavalry for the widow."
