"General Zhongli, what kind of person is Heifu?"

Standing at the head of Xingyang City, Zhong Liyi squinted at the young man who asked him this question, his name is Zhou Lan, he is the son of Zhou Wen, the right Sima of Chu State, he is not more than twenty years old, but he has already put on armor and led the enemy, as his deputy general, he is here to defend against the enemy.

"Hef?"

Referring to this person, Zhong Liyi, who already had a lot of beard, fell into a memory, two years have passed since Huainan raised the army, I don't know how many times, the companions in the Chu army have asked themselves so.

Because Zhong Liyi is the only one who has dealt with Heifu.

And whenever someone asked, Zhong Liyi would answer concisely:

"Enemy!"

From the very beginning, he and Heifu were enemies, one Chu and one Qin, each with their own masters.

Eighteen years ago, Heifu was the chief of the Huyang Pavilion in Anlu County, holding a ruler and cloth with a rope around his waist to take a thief, while Zhong Liyi was a spy who was mixed with the fugitives from the Chu State and entered the Qin State.

"The first time the two of us met, he was the pavilion chief of the Qin State who guarded the safety of one side, and I was the 'thief' whose identity was exposed and had to kill people and take the horse away."

In a chase in the mountains and forests of Anlu, the experienced Zhong Liyi set a trap on Heifu, which can be said to have completely hanged him, and even shot and injured one of Heifu's legs, but he hesitated for a moment and did not ask for his life - Zhong Liyi didn't know that after he left, Heifu also killed a certain wandering Jedi chasing behind him, and took the first step towards blackening......

He only knew that after he returned to Chu after wading through mountains and rivers, he handed over all the information he had obtained, and then looked forward to the result with great anticipation.

But he didn't wait for anything.

Although Chu was weak and Qin was strong at that time, General Xiang Yan had been planning a counteroffensive against Qin in order to delay the speed of Yan Zhao's demise. It's a pity that they are all subject to the situation and the times, although Zhong Liyi died nine times and constantly reported the transportation, population, garrison, and virtual reality of Anlu and other places, but this counteroffensive did not start after all.

On the contrary, it was the Qin army that launched the battle to destroy Chu first, but fortunately, General Xiang Yan was properly controlled, defeated Li Xin, killed the seven captains, the Qin army broke away, Zhong Liyi was also in the pursuit of the team, coincidentally, and on the Rushui, a small ferry called "Anchengdu", and Heifu had a second meeting.

"Heifu was already extraordinary at that time, the Qin army was defeated, and there were countless stragglers, but he was able to take a team of seven or eight hundred defeated soldiers, and first repelled the two county dukes in Liyang, and then wore his clothes and armor, planted his banner, and walked in Chu Realm with great swagger, and was stunned to pass through more than two hundred miles."

It wasn't until the ferry that the disguise of the group was discovered by Zhong Liyi, who was cruising here, fortunately he returned to the horse and ran fast, otherwise he would have been shot by Heifu and others like his companions. Even so, Zhong Liyi's back was also hit by two arrows, which can be regarded as revenge for the arrow in Anlu back then.

The scars of those two arrows are still there.

It was the last time that the two were on an equal footing, and since then, the state of Chu has fallen, and Zhong Liyi has not caught up with the last battle, but only hides in Tibet. However, Heifu relied on the promotion of Li's father and son, and he also fought for meritorious service, and won the favor of Qin Shi Huangdi, and the title was like flying, straight to the clouds, and even mixed into the court......

He was the lieutenant of Beidi County, and when he chased the Huns in the north, Zhong Liyi was running in embarrassment in his hometown. ”

He was punctual for Jiaodong County, and when he raised the butcher's knife against Zhutian, Zhong Liyi conspired with the rangers to assassinate Qin Shi Huang in Xiapi.

He was the Marquis of Changnan, the general of the Southern Expedition, and when he waved more than 100,000 troops to expand the territory, Zhong Liyi fell into the grass in Jianghuai and met Xiang Ji......

And now, their destinies seem to be intersecting again.

"Now he is the regent of Qin, who is in power, and he will have 200,000 troops to the east, and I am the Chu general who is blocking his way, and there are only 20,000 people under his command......"

Zhong Liyi knew very well, and everyone who stayed behind with him in Xingyang knew very well that in this battle, there was a huge disparity in strength. Even if the two armies of Xiang Liang and Xiang of Chen Di converge behind him, the Chu army is only 100,000 people, which is already the limit after squeezing out the youth and strength of Chu Di and leaving some troops in Huainan.

Hearing this, Xiang Sheng couldn't help but regret and said: "When I was in Anlu back then, if General Zhongli was ruthless, he killed Heifu......"

Zhong Liyi smiled and said: "Everyone who has listened to my past will say this, I only hate that I failed to kill Heifu at that time, and made him the climate, just like when Jin Chong'er was exiled to Chu in the past, King Chu Cheng did not listen to Ziyu's words and killed Chong'er, and as a result, the battle of Chengpu eventually became a big disaster." ”

Yes, if he had shot Heifu to death with an arrow, this long story would have come to an end.

There will be no family letter to hundreds of generals, there will be no public toilet captain, there will be no Marquis Wu Zhonghou of Changnan, and there will be no Duke Xia who has become the enemy of Chu again......

It only takes when Zhong Liyi is impartial and hits the key point of the black man.

But Zhong Liyi does not regret it, he has always done what he wants, Heifu at that time was an enemy, but he was also a respectable enemy: as a pavilion chief, Heifu is an expert in handling cases, with a good reputation, he is dutiful, loves the people, is jealous and hateful, and even has the recklessness of a newborn calf......

And the more the Chu people regretted Zhong Liyi's choice back then, it showed that the more they were afraid of Heifu and felt that they could not defeat this terrible enemy.

At present, the situation is already very bad, the Qin and Chu armies, which were originally evenly matched in the Central Plains, with the arrival of 100,000 troops and 100,000 people in Henan, the balance completely tilted to the west, and there were more and more Chenggao garrisons on the west bank of the river.

Xingyang as the last checkpoint to block the Qin army's eastward entry into Liang Chu, for the defenders, there is indeed a geographical advantage, here to the east are Tanyi, out of the west Guo, then the chaos of the mountain disputes, the land is getting higher, between Beijing and Suo, a mountain protrudes, such as Wan Hu, a back in the meantime, intermittent and continuous.

The ancients often said: "Make one husband stand up, and a hundred people will abolish themselves." ”

However, the outflanking of the Qin army in the terrain greatly reduced the status of Xingyang's throat Kyushu and the middle summer of the threshold.

In late March, Hanoi County on the other side of the river suddenly changed banners, Sima Wei surrendered to Qin, and the Qin army began to march along the north bank of the river, all the way to Guangwu, and its newly built boat division in Luoyang also set sail in Aocang.

Although Yingchuan in the south is still biased towards the Chu State, it is a matter of time before it is occupied by the Qin army, once the Qin army outflanks it from the north and south with the advantage of troops, and cuts off the Chu army's Yongdao, Xingyang will be in danger, not to mention, Aocang has been destroyed, which makes Xingyang's defense not as easy as before.

So, when the Chu army was completely defeated in the confrontation between Beijing and Suo, and the Qin army's chariots and cavalry took control of this place and began to appear frequently near Xingyang, Zhong Liyi made a decision.

"Xiang Sheng."

He gave an order to his deputy:

"Thou shalt take fifteen thousand men and evacuate eastward!"

Xiang Sheng was relieved when he heard this, but he was a little hesitant: "General Zhongli, our army is not guarding Xingyang?" ”

"This is a guest place, which is not conducive to the Chu army."

Zhong Liyi knew that the rule of Chu in Henan and Liangdi in the past year was not smooth, although the local powerful faction temporarily succumbed to the Duke of Chu County, but the people were resentful and refused to do their best.

The Chu army still had to fight on the Chu mainland in order to gain the support of the people and the possibility of being outnumbered.

"What's more, the Qin army has occupied Hanoi, and it is completely possible to cross the river into Xingyang, cut off my back road, attack it with an army of 200,000, leave 20,000 people to defend it, and leave 5,000 people to defend it, there is no difference, it is a matter of time before it falls, it is better to divide the troops and leave."

"What about you? General Zhongli is trapped in a dangerous city, what should he do? “

"Don't worry, Heifu is reluctant to capture this city, not to mention, I have my plans." Zhong Liyi smiled and said, "I promised the Shangzhu Congress to stay here, and I won't retreat lightly." ”

Xiang Sheng was clear, and said goodbye with tears in his eyes: "I will inform Yu Shangzhu and send troops to rescue!" “

Zhong Liyi shook his head: "No, Xingyang can't be saved, if you can go to the east of the chasm, tell the two generals Xiang that Xingyang is dead, and Heifu wants to surround me, and then attract the main force of the Chu army to save it, so as to complete the battle!" “

"Therefore, it cannot be saved!"

In Zhong Liyi's opinion, this is a deadly trap, and he, Xiang Sheng, and 20,000 soldiers are ready-made bait, and with Xiang Ji's temperament, he knows that it is a trap, and he is likely to come to fight hard......

So Zhong Liyi had to avoid this tragedy.

"I will hold on for at least fifteen days to gain time for the plan of the Shangzhu Kingdom, whether it is to withdraw the troops or to attack the Qin Division!"

And what Zhong Liyi really wants to do, and hopes to completely change the situation of the battle, is another thing:

"What I didn't do in Anlu back then, it's still too late to do it now!"
