Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 422 The Great Chess to Destroy the Nation

It was already very late at night, but there were still waves of low and vicissitude Xun sounds coming from Bi Shu's big tent.

At this time, it has been more than two hours since the end of the Huainan War. Jin Xiang, Zi Che Shi, and Xi Qilie are leading the army to chase and kill the defeated soldiers of the Qi-Huai Allied Forces all over the mountains and plains. It is estimated that they will not return before dawn. There were 25 Qi-Huai allied forces, and even if 20 were killed in battle, there would still be [-] defeated troops, enough for the soldiers of the Chu army to work all night.

But Bi Shu returned to the big camp early. After entering the big tent, he only hugged Xu negative lightly, and then sat silently in the corner of the big tent, playing a sad Xun song.

Xu negative sat kneeling beside Bi Shu, just listening quietly.

What Bi Shu played was a well-known Chudi ballad, the tune was low, vicissitudes, and full of melancholy.

It can be seen that Bi Shu's mood at this time is very complicated, not simple sadness, let alone joy, vaguely, Xu Negative felt that Bi Shu seemed a little lonely, like a lone goose walking at night, whining, but no response And, the kind of loneliness that comes from the depths of the soul almost makes people cry.

In fact, Bi Shu's mood at this time was indeed very complicated. Ever since he saw Han Xin's body, he had been immersed in this emotion and couldn't extricate himself from it. He should be happy. When he first left the school, Bi Shu's biggest goal was One day he will be able to fight against Han Xin on the battlefield, and then win the battle. Now that he has realized his dream, shouldn't he be happy?
However, when Bi Shu really defeated Han Xin, he found that he was not happy at all.

There is a feeling that the heights are too cold. Han Xin once reached that height. Now, he has also stood at the same height after finishing the book. To explain it in words, Bi Shu suddenly lost the life goal he was striving for, and he became confused.

It was not until he was tired from playing that Bi Shu finally put down the xun, and lazily leaned on the brocade cushion.

Xu Negative was trying to persuade her, but before she could speak, Bi Shu stopped her. Bi Shu stretched out his hand to gently cover Xu Negative's lips, and said in a low voice, "Lady, you don't need to say anything, your husband is just a little Feeling, that's all, when I wake up tomorrow morning, nothing will happen, really."

After finishing speaking, Bi Shu lay down lightly, and fell asleep with his pillow on Xu negative's thigh.

Xu Negative stretched out his jade fingers like spring onions, and gently stroked the ends of Bi Shu's temples. Suddenly, he found that a few hairs had grown out of the black hair on his head. The beautiful eyes surged down.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Jin Xiang, who was exhausted and soaked in mud, blood and sweat, finally came back the next day. At this time, Jin Xiang's dissatisfaction with Bi Shu had long since vanished. But with enough prestige, and enough military exploits, almost every tiger ben athlete is enough to be promoted to a rank!

As for Jin Xiang, just capturing and beheading Han Xin is enough to make him a Marquis, of course, not now.

When Xiang Zhuang enshrined Zhou Yin, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Gao Chu, and Pang Yu as Marquis at the beginning, he said that this was a special case, and others could only wait until the world was unified if they wanted to be named Marquis.

"General, general, hahaha..."

Before the person arrived, Jin Xiang's deafening voice had already passed.

When he got closer, Jin Xiang was extremely astonished to find that Tieniu and the general's three hundred soldiers were packing up, and it seemed that they were planning to break out of the camp?

"This..." Jin Xiang grabbed Tie Niu and said, "Tie Niu, what are you doing?"

Tieniu spread his hands, shook his head and smiled wryly: "The last general doesn't know, he's just following orders."

"Following orders? Could it be that the army is about to start? But it's not right, Pengcheng hasn't been defeated yet, and after such a fierce battle, why shouldn't he rest for two days?" Jin Xiang scratched his head, Puzzled, I didn't think about it anymore, I opened the curtain and stepped into Bi Shu's big tent.

In the big tent, Yu Ziqi, Zi Cheshi and Xi Qilie had already arrived and were reporting the military situation to Bi Shu.

In yesterday's battle, although the Chu army won a complete victory, it also paid a great price. Although the exact number of casualties has not yet been calculated, the casualties of the Chu army will definitely not be less than 5!In order to win the opportunity for the final lore of the Huben Army, 18 soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties.

But it was worth it, the Qihuai coalition was defeated in the first battle, and the Huainan battlefield was already settled.

Seeing Jin Xiang's entry, Bi Shu straightened his face, and immediately said solemnly: "Okay, General Jin Xiang has also arrived, and now let's talk about business."

After finishing speaking, Bi Shu took out six soldier talismans from the brocade box on the desk and handed them to the lower right leader Yu Ziqi said: "General Ziqi, by the order of the king, from now on, the Huben army and the soldiers of the five counties will be handed over to you as commander."

Jin Xiang, Zi Che Shi and Xi Qilie were all shocked when they heard the words.

Yu Ziqi did not dare to reach out to receive the military talisman for a while, and asked, "General, why is this?"

"This is the king's edict. General, hurry up and take the talisman." Bi Shu stood up, handed the military talisman directly to Yu Ziqi, then sat back to the chief and continued, "General Ziqi, the defense of Pengcheng is empty now, take it. It is as easy as turning the palm of your hand, after capturing Pengcheng, you should sweep up the two counties of Sishui and Donghai, and divide your troops into robbers to restore order, and don't rush north to attack Qi."

"General, why is this?" Zi Che Shi was puzzled and said, "After Huainan was defeated, Qi State was also defenseless. This is a good time to take advantage of the situation."

"No." Bi Shu shook his hand, but didn't explain much.

Yu Ziqi put away the soldier talisman, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the general, the final general will not disgrace his life."

Because of Bi Shu's coldness and ruthlessness, the generals have criticized him in private, but after this battle, everyone has nothing to say. He even defeated Han Xin, so why are you unconvinced?

Bi Shu took out another kit from his bosom and handed it to Jin Xiang, saying, "General Jin Xiang, this is for you."

Jin Xiang rushed to Bi Shu and bowed, stepped forward to take it, and then wanted to open it on the spot, but was stopped by Bi Shu: "General Jin Xiang, wait a moment."

Jin Xiang looked at Bi Shu, a little puzzled.

Bi Shu smiled lightly, and continued: "General Ziqi's army can rest for two days before attacking Pengcheng, but General Jinxiang and your Huben army can't, because Yingbo has already fled to Xiang County (the prefecture of Sishui County), you It must be pursued immediately, and Yingbu must be captured and beheaded in Xiangxian County, and then the general will open the bag before it is too late."

Jin Xiang put away the kit, clasped his fists with both hands, and replied, "Here!"

After assigning everything, Master Ziche couldn't help asking: "General, where do you want to go?"

"Me?" Bi Shu smiled faintly, and said in a low voice, "I have to go to Nanyang day and night, and cooperate with the king and the king of Han Liu Bang to play a game of destroying the country, ha ha."

##########
The Huainan battlefield finally broke the deadlock, but the Nanyang battlefield is still in a confrontation.

The Sirius Army and the Xiaocavalry Army arrived in Nanyang half a month ago, but the Chu Army was still at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but Liu Bang did not launch a strong attack on the Chu Army out of some considerations, and the battle fell silent temporarily, but Both sides are clear that the silence is only temporary, and a war may break out at any time.

In Xiangzhuang's king's tent, Bai Lixian is playing chess with Wu She.

Of course, with Wu She's chess strength, he can't beat Bai Lixian, so Bai Lixian gave up his second son.

Wu She just arrived in Nanyang two days ago. This mission to South Vietnam went very smoothly. Zhao Tuo, who originally had no ambitions for the Central Plains, readily accepted Xiang Zhuang's kindness, and said that as long as the Chu State could unify the Central Plains, he would submit to Xiang Zhuang. Of course, Xiang Zhuang also knew that it was possible for the state of Chu to become a minister and pay tribute to Zhao Tuo, but it was impossible to even think about paying tribute.

Therefore, the problem of South Vietnam has always to be resolved, but not now.

The chess game has only just begun, so it is very easy to play. Wu She asked Xiang Zhuang while making moves, "My lord, why is there no movement from Yanzhao and South Korea so far? Didn't they make an appointment with four families to raise troops at the same time, and Yanzhao cooperated?" The general attacked Qi, and South Korea sent troops to intercept Guanzhong and block the retreat of the Han army?"

"Yanzhao South Korea?" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "I can't count on it."

While answering his son, Bai Lixian also said: "Han Wang Han Xin is brave and intrepid, and Yan Wang Zang Tu is ruthless and ungrateful. When the Qi army attacked Zhao Guo on a large scale, seeing that Handan could not be saved, they refused to send troops to rescue them. , Now that the general situation of the world is uncertain, how can they send troops to help me attack the Han?"

"As for Zhao Wang Zhang Ao." After a pause, Bai Lixian said again, "He is just a coward, weak and incompetent and indecisive. All major military and state affairs are controlled by Guan Gao and Zhao Wu. What can he do?"

Wu She was a little worried, looked at Xiang Zhuang and said worriedly: "If the two countries of Yan and Zhao don't send troops, the general will have to face the coalition forces of Han Xin and Yingbo alone. I don’t know if there will be a bad influence on the mood of the general?”

Although Wu She just came back, he also heard the rumors.

Xiang Zhuang's face became a little gloomy, why isn't he worried about the battle in Huainan?

The Nanyang battlefield has reached a deadlock, and it is a real deadlock. Unless something happens, it will be difficult for both the Han army and the Chu army to break the deadlock. At this time, Liu Bang and Xiang Zhuang can only place their hopes on other fronts. It is no exaggeration to say that the outcome of the Huainan battlefield will directly determine the trend of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony!

If the Chu army wins the Huainan battlefield, not only will the Qi-Huai allied forces be doomed, but the Han army will also be doomed.

On the other hand, if the Qi-Huai allied forces win the Huainan battlefield, then Chu’s Jiangdong lair will be exposed to the front of Han Xin and Yingbu’s soldiers. Facing the strong pressure of 50 Han troops, Xiang Zhuang will be unable to advance and retreat. If you can't retreat, the ending will only be defeat. To put it bluntly, this is actually a big game of destroying the whole country that affects the whole body!
Bai Lixian could clearly see the worry in Xiang Zhuang's heart, and immediately changed the subject: "Come on, postscript, let's play chess, we won't discuss military affairs today."
