After Xiangzhuang escaped from the battlements of Langya Cang, he gathered the fleeing Chu army and finally took back 10,000 Chu troops. When he ran to the Ji River, the water flow returned to normal, and he happened to meet the Yu Ziqi army who came to pick him up.

With the assistance of Li Zuoche, Xiang Liang captured the Qin army camp. Wang Wei led the army to lean towards Zhanghan's army and encountered the Chu army of Yu Ziqi and Xiangzhuang near the Jishui River. Both sides fought for a while and then withdrew.

Overall, both sides lost more than 30,000 troops, and the number of soldiers at this moment was still roughly equal, but Zhang Han took back the Langya Cang and gained the upper hand.

Xiang Liang occupied the city and drew strong men from the people to supplement the battle reduction. In less than a few days, he recovered to more than 100,000 troops.

On this day, Xiang Liang received news of Xiang Yu's defeat and knew that Xiang Yu's remaining troops were about to arrive in Qi soon. He was in a bad mood after losing Langya Cang. He scolded Xiang Zhuang for two days and severely scolded Xiang Zhuang for one day.

Xiang Zhuang was scolded for being defeated and had to swallow his anger and stop talking. Then he stayed in the door. Li Zuoche originally planned to plan for Xiang Liang to retake Langya Cang, but Xiang Liang was in a bad mood. After scolding Xiang Zhuang for three days, Xiang Zhuang stopped going out. When he met Li Zuoche, he started scolding Li Zuoche after a disagreement, revealing the scars of Li Zuoche being attacked by Han Xin at night. The two sides parted in disagreement that day.

(The growth of a general requires opportunities, such as Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Guan Ying and others of the Western Han Dynasty, all of them grew into generals later. Famous generals need a combination of talent and opportunities. For example, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Han Xin and others are rare in history. Therefore, the Mengzhi and Meng Xin in this book can also become good generals after growing up in the military, but famous generals will not add them out of thin air)

Although Zhang Han regained Langya Cang, he lost more than 30,000 troops. When the Qin Dynasty was so short of troops, it was very distressing to lose troops.

Zhang Han was depressed and asked Wang Wei and Mengzhi to discuss plans to get out of the enemy. Since Mengzhi made many plans and achieved very good results, Zhang Han cared about Mengzhi's ideas this time.

At this moment, the senior generals in the shogunate were all there, so Zhang Han said, "What are the good strategies for General Mengzhi for the next battle?"

As the youngest general among the generals, Meng Zhi himself thought that he had the status of today because of Meng Tian's glory. Now he was named and asked for advice. He was extremely excited and said with a blushing face: "Report to General, General Mo will receive the general's kind teaching. Mo will feel that he can learn the strategies of the newly promoted general Han Xin to attack and destroy the rebels with fire."

Everyone was surprised when his strategy came out. Xiang Liang's army is now hiding in the city of Langya County. How can we burn them?

Based on his previous experience, Wang Wei knew that this kid would not be aimless and asked: "How to attack with fire?"

Meng Zhi was much calmer at this moment and said slowly: "We transported all the granaries here to Jibei County. The rebels came from afar, and they were short of food. The people of Qi were not good at farming. They collected grain on the spot and collected food in small amounts. They must come to grab the food and grass. We chose the right section on the road to ambush and then led them to the jungle to burn it with fire."

The generals cheered after hearing this analysis, and Zhang Han smiled, and the audience continued to discuss. The generals selected the ambush location and the way of transporting grain based on what they saw on the march. After discussing for most of the time, Zhang Han had to ask the generals to retreat and think of ways, leaving Wang Wei and Meng Zhi to have dinner together to continue discussing.

Wang Wei was very serious and summarized the suggestions of the generals today. He felt that Li Zuoche from Zhao State was assisting Xiang Liang. Ambushing on the road would definitely not have much results. He expressed his horrifying thoughts: "I think it is best to choose both the ambush and the fire attack site in Langya Cang. We directly sent a large army to escort the food and grass so that they could not rob. When they saw that there were many troops out of the city, they would definitely attack the granaries, so that we would take advantage of the situation to lead them in."

After hearing this, Zhang Han opened his mouth wide and said nothing for a long time. Wang Wei knew that burning the granary set up by the Qin Dynasty was a major event, which was directly related to the long-term strategies of the military, government and people of a great country. It was necessary to do it by the emperor's will, so he did not disturb Zhang Han's thoughts.

However, Mengzhi began to unable to resist his inner excitement, thinking that Zhang Han was a pity that he was reluctant to burn such a good granary: "General, we can build it again if the granary is gone. Once the rebels are annihilated, then these counties and territories will be returned to our hands, and there is no need to regret it."

Zhang Han, Wang Wei's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Yes! People are on the ground."

Zhang Han finally made the decision: "According to the two suggestions, Wang Wei led 20,000 troops to arrange fire attacks and was ready to attack the city of Langya County at any time. I will ask Your Majesty for the order."

The military rations were decreasing day by day, and the on-site collection was far from enough. Xiang Liang was worried about this. The quick horse probe reported that the Qin army was transporting the food and grass from Langya County to Jibei County, and the transportation team was very large.

Xiang Liang immediately ordered the drums to gather the generals, and the congregations arrived at Xiang Liang's temple one after another. Xiang Liang asked the Sima of the Central Army to briefly introduce the situation of the investigation, and then everyone began to discuss it.

Yu Ziqi was the first to express his opinion: "Reporting to the general, the last general thought that our army could attack Langya Cang while the Qin army sent a large army to transport grain. There are two reasons. First, the food and grass that the Qin army can transport at present is less than one tenth of the food stored in Langya Cang; second, the Qin army sent a large army to transport grain to transport grain, and it must be prevented by our army when we robbed it. However, when we attack Langya Cang directly, we will inevitably receive unexpected results from surprise weapons."

Xiang Liang was very satisfied: "General Yu's strategy is very good. What are the additions to other generals?"

Xiang Bo said excitedly: "We can pretend to be the Qin army's grain transport team, sneak into the battlements, grab a south gate and control it, and then kill the army again, which will reduce casualties."

Xiang Liang was even happier and turned to look at Li Zuoche who lowered his head and thoughtlessly. The generals also looked at Xiang Liang's eyes.

The shogunate was silent for a moment, which made Li Zuoche seem to have reacted. He quickly looked up and said, "There are many strategic people in the Qin army. This time, the Qin army suddenly started transporting grain, which was not in line with the routine of the battlefield. In addition, the Qin army's system was strictly managed, and the granary was more strictly prevented from being in the heavy area. It was impossible to touch it in detail, let alone the army? I infer that they deliberately lured our army out of the city. I suggest that mobile troops should be sent to attack the Qin army's grain transport team, and I must not attack the battlements."

Xiangzhuang, who had been depressed for many days, went out and said loudly: "Our army has lost its granary. The bandit army only needs to tightly collect the granary to make our army retreat. At this moment, the bandit army transported the food and grass away just to make our army leave Qi forever. What conspiracy can there be? The fighter opportunity is fleeting, so don't miss it. As long as we occupy the granary, Qi will belong to our Great Chu."

Xiang Zhuang immediately knelt forward when he was excited: "General, the last general is willing to lead the army back to the granary for the vanguard to avenge the previous shame!"

Seeing that the generals were so eager to fight, Xiang Liang was also exaggerated, so he ordered: "Xiang Bo led 5,000 soldiers to defend the city, and the other generals led the entire army to attack Langya Cang with this general. In this battle of revival of the Great Chu, you must do your best to fight!" The generals took the order and went out one after another, leaving behind the depressed Li Zuoche.

Li Zuoche came out of Xiang Liang's temple and looked for King Xie of Zhao: "The king quickly instructed all the civil and military officials to clean up the fine and soft things. Let's hurry to go to Yan land in the north, and a great disaster will come here."

King Xie of Zhao finally spent a few days in Xiang Liang's army's city, playing with the singer. When he heard Li Zuoche's words, he was so shocked that he said: "General Xiang Liang guarded the city as solid as a god. Why is the Prime Minister exclaimed?"

Li Zuoche was anxious and sweat broke out on his forehead: "A big disaster is coming, so I beg the king to follow the advice of his ministers and leave quickly."

Although King Zhao was very reluctant, he saw that Li Zuoche was so determined, so he had to make a reservation. The next day, Li Zuoche said goodbye to Xiang Liang on behalf of King Zhao: "After the general was taken in, everyone in Zhao was grateful for the kindness of the general and could not repay him at the moment. Our king decided to go north to Yan land to seek contact with Donghu and find a large number of war horses for the general to fight against the Qin cavalry."

Xiang Liang originally felt sorry for Li Zuoche's talent and wanted to recruit him, but he was not in line with him recently and didn't like him very much. He also heard that he had added a rare war horse to his army in the south, so he agreed without hesitation.

On the other side, Wang Wei arranged to defend the battlements of Langya Cang, intending to combine the virtual and the real, so that the army could defend with their lives. If Xiang Liang's army failed to attack the city, they would annihilate it under the battlements. If Xiang Liang's army fought desperately, they would implement a fire attack as planned.

When the vanguard of Xiangzhuang's army reached the range of crossbow arrows in the battlements, Qin crossbow poured crossbow arrows into the Chu army to express a "warm welcome."

After an hour of shooting, charge and hard cover from the shield soldiers, Xiangzhuang's front army finally approached the wall of the battlements.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the Qin army thought that this time it was a regular attack, and it was estimated that both sides would withdraw their troops and wait for dawn to fight again. However, this time Xiang Zhuang seemed to have contacted his brother Xiang Yu's soul and learned to attack day and night. At this moment, the sky was getting darker. Not only did it stop attacking, but it instead of attacking from one direction during the day to attacking from four sides.

When Wang Wei saw that this was an opportunity to act well, he waved his hand and ordered the reserve team to take turns to remove the defenders from the city, increasing the intensity and starting to break through at dawn.

When Xiang Liang kept sending horses to the front army to explore the battle situation. When the Qin army was defending wildly, he felt that the Qin army was very concerned about the battlements in Langya Cang, and immediately ordered Yu Ziqi to lead 10,000 troops to strengthen the attack.

When Wang Wei was busy ordering to prepare for a breakout and retreat, military information came: the siege torches outside the south gate suddenly increased several times.

After a little thought, Wang Wei began to smile and ordered: "The crossbow archers immediately rushed to the south gate, and shot ten rounds of crossbow arrows every half an hour. The retreating defenders immediately carried hay and other fire attack objects to wait for their orders."
