Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 217 Liu Ji Goes North ([-])

Le Ping led the defeated army to flee back to Pengcheng, and at the same time reported to Zhang Ping the news of the Chu army's northward march.

Qin army camp.

"The tens of thousands of troops stationed in the city can't even stop the Chu army that is less than twice as many. Le Ping really failed the general's expectations!" Seeing an opportunity to attack Le Ping, Wang Zhuang naturally would not let it go.

Zhang Ping looked at Wang Zhuang, but didn't say a word.Just looking at the map on the desk case, thinking.

"The [-] Chu troops are heading towards Pengcheng. If we don't respond in time, our army may fall into a situation where we are attacked from both sides. General, please make a quick decision!" Deputy General Xu Lin saw that Zhang Ping did not respond to Wang Zhuang. Instead of responding to the words, he looked at the map and said.

After hearing what Xu Lin said, Zhang Ping nodded and said, "What Captain Xu said is right!"

"Wang Junshou!" After finishing speaking, he said to Wang Zhuang who was beside him. "You command the [-] troops under your command to return to Pengcheng first, and you must defend Pengcheng firmly with the defeated general of Leping. Otherwise, the general will behead both of you to pay homage to the soldiers who died in battle!"

Seeing that Zhang Ping's expression did not seem to be fake, Wang Zhuang put away his little thoughts.Although my county guard and Zhang Ping are regarded as officials at the same level, it is now a time of war.The county guards in all parts of the Kanto region were restrained by Zhang Han. Zhang Ping, as Zhang Han's younger brother, would turn a blind eye to the court if he wanted to kill one or two county guards.Wang Zhuang didn't want to lose his head because of his little thoughts, so he cupped his hands and said, "Pengcheng is here, this county is here; Pengcheng is dead, this county is dead!"

"That's it! Let's go immediately!" Seeing Wang Zhuang's statement, Zhang Ping waved.

"Here!" Wang Zhuang bowed his hands and retreated.

"General! How should Liu Ji and others deal with it?" Xu Lin asked Zhang Ping after Wang Zhuang left.

"Liu Ji still has more than [-] men under his command, and the Chu army that has just arrived has [-]. If they are allowed to join Li Qi's large army, our army's own advantages will be wiped out. Therefore, we must send Liu Ji and others Annihilate people first!" Zhang Ping made a decision while talking about the situation.

"General! The Chu army is just a mob, so what if they are superior in numbers? Could it be that I, the elite of the Qin Dynasty, can't take them down?" Xu Lin asked, clapping his hands in puzzlement after hearing Zhang Ping's words.

Looking at Xu Lin, Zhang Ping knew that the captain, who had just been transferred from Yandi to Xianyang, did not know where Xiang Yu's troops in the Chu army came from.Then he explained: "Do you know why my brother, General Zhang Han, is so afraid of the Chu army?"

"This is also the place where the last general was puzzled!" Seeing that Zhang Ping was about to tell Xin Mi, Xu Lin immediately clapped his hands and replied.

"It's because most of the Chu army headed by Xiang Yu came from the northern army of General Meng Tian. Moreover, after years of training by Xiang Yu, this army is not weaker than any army in our Great Qin Dynasty. On the contrary, some places are more elite than us! This is the reason why my elder brother stayed in Chen Jun and did not dare to lead troops to attack Jiujiang after beheading Chen Sheng!" Zhang Ping said helplessly.

"Then today's Northern Legion?" Xu Lin asked, clasping his hands even more puzzled.

"The northern legion today is not the northern legion in that powerful period. Most of them are soldiers from the counties and counties. It is not the northern legion that has experienced many battles!" Zhang Ping said with nostalgia.

Zhang Ping couldn't understand why the first emperor would send soldiers from the northern legion to station in various counties when he was alive, and then send soldiers from various counties to supplement them.If the Northern Legion had remained the original one, General Meng Tian would not have been persecuted by Zhao Gao.There will be no one in the world to launch a rebellion in its name, and Daqin will not be full of wars like it is today.

"But now that the Chu army is approaching menacingly, Liu Ji and others want to avoid fighting. It is impossible for our army to defeat Liu Ji first, and then go south to fight the Chu army! Besides, Liu Ji must have known that the Chu army is going to Pengcheng. Think It's impossible to find a fighting opportunity!" Xu Lin clasped his hands and said wisely.

"In this situation, it is very possible to find a fighter!" Zhang Ping said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

…………

"I didn't expect Li Qi to defeat Le Ping so quickly!" Liu Ji said with admiration. "And going north at such a speed, it really makes me ashamed!"

Wang Xi and Shen Shiqi naturally heard Liu Ji's implication, and they looked at each other.Shen Shiqi cupped his hands and said, "Li Qi is a great general, but it's a pity he can't be used by Peigong!"

"Why is this?" Liu Ji asked very puzzled.

Wang Xi cupped his hands and replied at the right time: "In addition to being a general of the Chu State, this Li Qi is also a friend of Xiang Yu, the Duke of the Han Dynasty. The two grew up together, learning literature and martial arts, and their emotions are beyond comparison with ordinary people. Under Xiang Yu's control, the power is getting stronger day by day. Li Qi will definitely not abandon his brothers and family and go to serve others!"

"What a pity!" Liu Ji said with great envy when he heard the words. "Isn't this Yu also a lackey of the Qin Dynasty before? How can he get the allegiance of such a general? I really don't understand!"

"I also hope that Duke Pei must not say this in front of Xiang Han, or he may offend Xiang Yu!" Shen Shiqi hurriedly cupped his hands to dissuade him.

"It's natural, I'm not so dizzy." Liu Jidang even nodded in agreement.

Then, Liu Ji discussed with everyone how to cooperate with Li Qi to attack Pengcheng, but he didn't know that he was already being targeted!

Yongchi camp.

"So, General Li Qi is about to lead his troops to Pengcheng?" Yong Chi asked the scout who reported the Chu army's movements.

"That's right! Chu You General Li Qi has led more than [-] troops to approach Pengcheng, and his subordinate Ling Chang has led [-] troops to wipe out the defeated Qin army in the Fuli area." Tell the truth, tell the truth.

"It seems that Sishui County will change hands soon!" Yong Chi said with emotion after hearing this.

"This is also my lord's opportunity!" The counselor Xu Zhou said pretending to be mysterious.

Xu Zhou's words made Zhou Fang, Guan Ba ​​and others all look at him, and Yong Chi also looked at Xu Zhou when he heard the words, he asked very puzzled: "What is the opportunity?"

"My lord! The Xiang family is about to enter Sishui County. As long as you lead your troops to join, you will definitely become a general under Duke Han's command. Besides, isn't it the lord's decision to join the Xiang family at the beginning?" Xu Zhou whispered, and then said: "Now In this world, only the state of Chu has the ability to wipe out the tyrant Qin. And the state of Chu is controlled by the Xiang family, and the generals who vote for the Xiang family have shown their position. After the world is settled, the lord can become the general who guards the side at the worst."

After finishing speaking, general Xuzhou Yongchi was still hesitating whether to serve Chu.He immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't forget that the land of Wei is not peaceful yet. Even if we are lucky enough to capture a few cities, we will be the first to bear the brunt of the defeat of Wei and Qi!"
