Chapter 281: I want to cry without tears

Lu Zhe led the army to Huizhang County?

The counties in the Beijing area of Huizhang County have fallen, and Lu Zhejun is wantonly plundering and relocating the population?

There are many wealthy gentry and clans who have taken refuge in Lu Zhe?

When he first received the urgent report from behind, Xiang Liang didn't believe that Lu Zhe appeared in Huizhang County without saying a word, thinking that it was the political enemies in the court who were afraid that he would defeat Huan Chu and take Lujiang County, and his reputation would be greater.

Later, reports of the fall came from Moling, Jiangcheng, Zhangxian and other places, and Xiang Liang still didn't believe it. The reason why I didn't believe it was that I didn't understand that Lu Zhe might quietly enter Huizhang County, but at this time he already had a bad feeling.

Xiang's restoration of the Chu State is considered to be a great contribution to the new Chu, and the support of Xiongxin in the back has a monstrous contribution to supporting the king, and it stands to reason that Xiang should be the great hero of Chu and the great benefactor of Xiongxin.

However, the Xiang family is too strong, the grasp of power is too huge, and the appearance is too ugly, and the credit or something is diluted because of these factors, but it gives people a feeling of domineering and wanting to replace him.

Xinchu not only has Xiang's family, but also Song Yi, Ding Gong, Jing Ju and others. These people are not as powerful as the Xiang family, but their reputation among the people is not low. They were a group of people who wanted to restore royal power, and they were also Xiang's political enemies in the court.

Xiang Liang created rumors that the Qin army went south to attack Lü Zhe, in order to involve Lü Zhe's strength, he needed to expand the territory of Xinchu to increase his popularity, and subdue those who did not have much ability and talked a lot of nonsense, so Jiujiang County and Lujiang County would become the targets of expansion.

Jiujiang County was not unified with anyone, and the war was not going on under the many forces, Xiang Liang felt that it was easy to take Jiujiang, so he temporarily let go, thinking that Lujiang County, which was about to be unified by Huan Chu, would be a big trouble if it was not pacified early, so the first target of the knife was determined.

All kinds of intelligence confirmed that the Qin army really went south to attack Lü Zhe, and there were 150,000 Qin troops, according to Xiang Liang's thoughts, even if Lü Zhe successfully carried the Qin army's southward advance, the contest between Lü Zhe's army and the southbound Qin army should be at least three months or more.

Three months is enough for Xiang Liang to deal with Huan Chu, who has not yet integrated the forces of Lujiang County. He set out with great ambition and a large army, and when he arrived at the border of Lujiang County, Huan Chu also went to war.

One more point of the current strength is precious, and being able to suppress it without losing it is the best result, so Xiang Liang made a final effort to win over Huan Chu.

Huan Chu responded, and he made a hesitant gesture and replied that he had time to consider.

150,000 against 70,000, and even 200,000, 250,000 against 70,000, Xiang Liang had a lot of confidence in himself, and the troops he brought were all changed into the standard uniforms of the Chu soldiers during the Warring States Period, although there were still nearly 60,000 missing weapons. But it's also a great force.

In Xiang Liang's thoughts, Huan Chu has not been developed, even if there are 70,000, it is a rabble that cannot even unify the battle robes and lack weapons, Huan Chu does not want to perish and only surrenders, and then he is also the minister of the old Chu, throwing out the rank of second general and the title of Shangzhu State, Huan Chu has steps should be subdued, so it is nothing to give a few days to consider, after all, Lu Zhe, the only one with strength now, is restrained by the Qin army, but no one can save Huan Chu.

Xiang Liang is correct in some ways. At least Lu Zhe didn't solve the problem before the Qin army went south, and no one had enough strength to rescue Huan Chu. He was confident that he was bound to win, and he thought that in this case, Huan Chu had no chance to refuse, and could only return to the arms of the Chu State. Be a good sub-general with little real power.

Xiang Liang's meticulous work has been transmitting back the information that Lu Zhe's army and the Qin army are fighting, and the two sides are fighting and stopping on the edge of the Han River, and the correct casualty figures of both sides should be between 20,000 and 30,000?

However, at what point? Things are starting to turn. Lu Zhe had long been not blockaded, and when he was fighting with the Qin army, it was blocked, and it was becoming more and more difficult to send back the news in detail. There was a time when there was even no news, so that Xiang Liang could not learn the information about the battle between Lu Zhe and the Qin army that went south.

The next time he got the information, it was when Xiang Liang was impatient with Huan Chu's delay and delay, and the news was very unbelievable, Lu Zhe actually left the Qin army and led the army to retreat south? That's a little ridiculous, isn't it? What's even more ridiculous is that the Qin army stayed where it was, neither pursued nor continued south!?

Xiang Liang couldn't figure it out, but he knew that things had changed, and it was not so easy for the news to come back, it was nearly twenty dead people to come back, and the information was brought back with blood. He began to warn Huan Chu, giving him an ultimatum that he had to reply within three days.

Later, another news came back, and the information became that Lu Zhe had troops interspersed with information from Hengshan County to Lujiang County, Xiang Liang was puzzled, why didn't the Qin army go south attack Lu Zhe, why did they let the army be mobilized, shouldn't they continue to attack south at this time?

Xiang Liang did not keep the agreed three days, in his opinion, any promise is not even a fart, a fart can also pollute the air, and a promise is just an action of opening his mouth.

Fight, must fight, Xiang Liang must also think of a strategy to deal with the reinforcements sent by Lu Zhe, so that the 50,000 follow-up troops led by his nephew Xiang Ji do not have to meet with the main force so quickly.

Is Xiang Liang a person who can only play intrigues? In fact, he is not only good at playing conspiracy, but people from a family of military generals will have the corresponding ability to lead troops even if they are familiar with it, the difference is just how strong the ability is.

At this point, Xiang Liang needed to have a degree in fighting Huan Chu, not only to quickly lead the reinforcements sent by Lu Zhe to the battlefield, but also to set up an ambush as much as possible, and it was best to defeat the troops sent by Lu Zhe as soon as they appeared.

Lu Zhe sent Ji Bu, if it was the reckless Ji Bu before, he would just crash into it regardless of it, Xiang Liang really could use the 50,000 Xiang Ji troops in ambush to eat Ji Bu's 50,000 people, but Ji Bu's style of leading troops became cautious, and after discovering Xiang Ji's ambush troops, he actually ...... Actually retreated!

It is the most terrible thing to provoke but not provoke, Xiang Ji's troops were exposed, and after being exposed, the combat purpose was not achieved, and Xiang Liang's early arrangement was introduced.

After a brief retreat, Jibu began to reorganize the army, and 20,000 of the 50,000 soldiers lined up in formation to the sound of war drums, with spearmen in front, rattan armor soldiers as the second echelon, Pak sword soldiers and shield-wielding swordsmen as the left and right wings, and the remaining auxiliaries were ranked at the rear. A not-so-standard zigzag battle array had already been laid out when Xiang Ji led the army to chase after him.

What kind of person is a thirteen-year-old Xiang Ji? What he was most educated about was not military books and war strategies, most of them were how to be a nobleman, and then how to restore the glory of the Chu State, and the rest were basically practicing combat skills in the body.

Xiang Ji became proud of all kinds of education, this is a man who is destined to become a nobleman and has the glory of the Chu State, facing 50,000 enemy troops who are at the mercy of the formation, he is very newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and shouted in a voice that has not changed his voice, "Attack!" One man and one horse took the lead.

A man who is only thirteen years old, his favorite thing to do before is to fight unevenly, so he has a reputation for liking to cause trouble, it is such a person galloping "haha" laughing, with five hundred horsemen to take the lead in crashing into the battle formation that Ji Bu had just laid out and had not yet formed again, and braved the arrow feathers to charge and pick three or four people to open the gap for the rest of the cavalry, and really rushed into the military formation with nearly four hundred horsemen who survived in the arrow feathers.

"It's fierce!" Jibu looked at the figure rushing left and right on horseback in admiration.

The gap in the first army formation is not too big, if Ji Bu ignores it, it will not work, and the choice he can choose is to let the army formation split, let the cavalry go deeper, and then use enough numbers to submerge and make the cavalry lose mobility. It's a pity that Ji Bu did that, but the army that lacked military drills was slow to react, and Xiang Ji was not a person with only muscles in his brain, and nearly a hundred more than 300 cavalry or so did not go deep and only wreaked havoc in the first army formation.

The cavalry entered, the military formation could no longer maintain its integrity, and the infantry of the Chu army following behind attacked the gap fiercely, making the gap larger again, and at this time, Ji Bu finally ordered the troops on the left and right flanks to come up from both sides like pincers.

The thirteen-year-old Xiang Ji was really fierce, he had already picked dozens of people in the standing formation, and when he rode forward, whatever was in front of him was cut like tofu, and the cavalry behind him relied on him as a front cone to constantly intersperse and constantly chisel through, and its momentum was unstoppable.

couldn't stop it, Ji Bu chose not to block, he simply let the Chinese army and the Chu soldiers fight, and tried his best to control the troops on the left and right flanks to kill and injure the infantry of the Chu army, waiting for the left and right flanks to complete the encirclement.

The situation of the war became that the Chu army had an advantage in the Chinese army, and Lu Zhe's army devoured the strength of the Chu army on the left and right flanks.

There is a fight here, and the battle between Xiang Liang and Huan Chu has also entered a white heat, and the third camp of the Chu army attacking Huan Chu is inseparable from the defenders. However, Huan Chu needs to use all his forces to resist, but Xiang Liang, who has a numerical advantage, still has the strength to spare.

Xiang Liang transferred 40,000 troops to support the Xiang family, and at this time, it was almost the moment when Ji Bu was about to complete the encirclement, Xiang Liang, who personally brought 40,000 reinforcements to support the Xiang family, saw that Lu Zhejun was about to complete the partial encirclement.

Xiang Ji, who had just finished the crown ceremony, was the only seedling of the Xiang family, how could it be damaged? Xiang Liang's first instant decision was to hurry up and rescue Xiang Ji, who was about to be besieged!

This battle seemed a little inexplicable to Ji Bu, and the brave boy didn't seem to have commanded the troops, but only cared about his own position in the Chinese army. He suspected that the kid hadn't thought at all that if his subordinates died too much and couldn't break through, then what was the use of this kid messing up the Chinese army?

Xiang Liang led the army to come, Ji Bu also saw that it was good, and at the same time Xiang Liang also achieved the goal of rescuing Xiang Ji, and the two gangs got along and retreated a distance, leaving corpses and wounded all over the ground.

The first thing Xiang Ji, who was fighting happily, said when he saw Xiang Liang: "Uncle, how to withdraw the troops, you should overthrow them in one go!" ”

Xiang Liang wanted to cry without tears, he took a preliminary look, in less than half an hour of fighting, nearly 20,000 of Xiang's 50,000 subordinates were gone, and looking at the military formation that was being rectified on the opposite side, Lu Zhejun still had at least 40,000 or more, which means that the price of Xiang's refreshment was too great......
