When Xiangzhuang was worshiping the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the foot of Mount Li, Gao Chu's Nufeng Camp had already traveled day and night to the vicinity of Shangyi, less than a hundred miles away from Wuguan. Although the mountain road along the way was rugged and difficult, it was still smooth. Except for encountering hundreds of Han troops in the abandoned Yuguan, there was basically no delay in other places.

The empty mountains are silent, and more than a thousand veterans of the Lufeng Camp are marching on the rugged mountain road.

Looking at the deep valleys and dense primeval forests on both sides of the mountain road, Gao Chu's uneasiness became even more and more intense.

In fact, since he passed the Nao Pass with Nufeng Camp, Gao Chu had already felt a vague uneasy in his heart. The closer he walked, the closer he was to Wu Pass, Gao Chu's feeling of uneasiness became stronger, as if there was a huge trap ahead waiting for his Nufeng Camp to drill into it.

However, the task assigned by Xiang Zhuang to Gao Chu and Nufeng Camp was to seize Wu Pass in the shortest time, and then nail it there like a nail until the Xiang Zhuang army arrived! Therefore, even though he had a vague premonition in his heart, Gao Chu still did not stop, and even kept urging Nufeng Camp to speed up the marching speed.

While walking, an old soldier complained while eating dry food: "Damn, this road is really remote. After walking so far, he didn't even hit a ghost."

The veteran said that he was unintentional, but Gao Chu was shocked when he heard this.

Gao Chu finally knew why he felt a vague feeling after passing the Ship Pass, because since he passed the Ship Pass, he had never encountered a pedestrian again! This situation is absolutely abnormal. Although the road from Wuguan to Guanzhong is not good, it is not that there is no peddler or pawn, right?

The passage on the other side of Wu Pass was obviously blocked, and it was probably the Han army!

Gao Chu did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered: "Send the order, the entire army will stop advancing!"

At the first order of Gao Chu, the soldiers of the Nufeng Camp who were moving forward hurriedly stopped one after another, and then quickly entered the valley on the roadside with the shouts of primary schools at all levels to rest.

Gao Chu couldn't rest, so he personally led more than a dozen soldiers to Wu Pass.

In fact, Gao Chu's military order was issued very timely, because less than thirty miles further forward, Lu Tai was leading a 20,000 army to the direction of Zhiguan. Of course, if it was a rush, the Han army's march speed was only seventy or eighty miles a day, which was absolutely incomparable to the terrifying speed of the Nufeng Camp for more than two hundred miles a day.

This is not just because of the quality of the soldiers. The key is that the Nufeng Battalion is moving forward with a light and rapid advance. Each soldier only carries dry food, while the Han army carries a lot of baggage and cannot walk fast at all.

Of course, Lu Tai didn't really want to go to Shiguan.

Lu Tai believed that although Wu Pass was not as majestic and towering as Hangu Pass, the terrain in front and behind the city was not as wide as Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass. Because Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass were wide, they were tightly linked to the road. The enemy could invest tens of thousands of troops when siege the city, but the terrain in front and behind Wu Pass was very narrow, and the enemy invested up to a maximum of thousands of people each time they siege the city.

Therefore, it seems a waste to defend the 40,000 army at the gate, and it is more than enough to have 20,000 troops stationed.

Although the task assigned by Liu Bang to Lu Ze was only to block Wu Pass, Lu Tai was obviously not satisfied. If he had the opportunity to destroy Xiang Zhuang's main force of the Chu army in one fell swoop, Lu Tai would never let it go. After obtaining Lu Ze's consent, Lu Tai led a 20,000 army north out of Wu Pass, preparing to find a valley to hide.

Lu Tai was also very cruel in his use of troops. He was preparing to wait for the Chu army to arrive at Wuguan before suddenly breaking out from behind the Chu army and trapping the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang to death under Wuguan! In this way, the great achievements of destroying Xiangzhuang and the remnants of the Chu army fell on him. With this military achievements, Lu Tai could be granted the title of marquis without relying on his father Yu Yin.

When Lu Tai thought that there were two marquises in each family, Lu Tai couldn't help but become eager.

This is reasonable. Who among the men in the world doesn’t want to be a marquis? Lu Tai even wanted to break the ground and be named a king, but this one was a bit far away.

Besides, Gao Chu was moving forward with more than a dozen soldiers.

Suddenly, a faint neighing sound of horses came into Gao Chu's ears. Gao Chu suddenly raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Stop, stop all!"

More than a dozen warriors stopped one after another.

Gao Chu looked at the nearby terrain and then took more than a dozen soldiers to climb up to a lonely peak on the right.

When Gao Chu and more than ten sharp men climbed up to the Gufeng and looked south, they all took a breath of air. They saw a long line of Han troops moving forward in the river valley south of Gufeng. The Han troops lined up in four columns and advanced forward. The vanguard had already advanced to the foot of Gufeng, but the rear team was several miles away, with at least several thousand people!

"General, how could there be a Han army here?" a sharp soldier said sternly, "and there are so many people?"

"Yes, wasn't Liu Bang's army originally in Qi? Now we can only arrive in Luoyang at most, why did it suddenly appear in Wuguan?" Another sharp man said, "This is a big trouble. There are thousands of Han soldiers here. I don't know how many people have not come out of the Shanaoao behind. We only have one thousand people. How can we fight this battle?"

"I'm afraid that there are only a part of the Han army here!" Gao Chu said sternly. "If I was not wrong, there should be a Han army in Wuguan! This Wuguan, with only our Nufeng Camp, one thousand elite soldiers, will definitely not be able to take down!" After saying this, Gao Chu shouted in a low voice, "Let's go back!"

Xianyang, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Under the guidance of Jin Xiang, two strong men walked into the hall with high hopes. Xiangzhuang and Wei Liao quickly stood up to greet him.

When Xiang Zhuang Dingqing looked at it, he saw that the man on the left was more than nine feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's skin skirt around his waist, an iron arch on his shoulder, but his arms were luolulu outside, and his arms were covered with raised muscles. His neck was so thick that he could pinch others. Even the hair on his head was standing up, showing his fierce aura!

On the right side of the Han Dynasty was a gentle young man, eight feet tall, about twenty years old.

"Go to Qilie down to Xi, see the general!" The strong and powerful man took the lead in bowing with his fists.

"After the time, I will meet the general." The elegant young man bowed and bowed.

"The righteous man in Xiqi, the righteous man in Che, please come to the seat." Xiang Zhuang bowed and returned, and then asked the two men to come to the seat with a stern hand.

Since the news of Xiangzhuang worshipping the Mausoleum of the First Emperor spread, the remaining Qin tribes have come to join us one after another.

There is no doubt that Xiang Zhuang's move has won the favor of the old Qin clan, because since the fall of Qin, all the princes have entered the pass, but none of them have affirmed the Qin Empire and the First Emperor. Xiang Zhuang was not only the first person to affirm the Qin Empire and the Qin Shihuang, but also the first prince to worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!

Of course, Xiang Zhuang is not a prince yet, but it is only a matter of time.

If the Great Chu really had a revival, the King of Chu could only and must be Xiang Zhuang.

As mentioned earlier, the aristocratic families all have strong political speculation. Even if a muddy son like Chen Sheng rebelled, a large number of aristocratic families would follow him. Therefore, when Xiang Zhuang released goodwill to the old Qin clan in Guanzhong and said that he would fully inherit the legacy of the Great Qin clan, these aristocratic families could no longer calm down.

In just two days, there were no less than twenty wealthy families who came to join!

Of course, there are still not many talents who really produce, but at least they are better than none.

Xiang Zhuang had a brief conversation with Xiqilie and Ziche Shi, and he knew that Xiqilie was a descendant of the Xiqi family of the Qin Dynasty. Ziche Shi was even more famous. After asking someone to die for his life and following Duke Mu of Qin in the nine springs, the famous pre-Qin minister Che Yanxi heard that he was a descendant of Ziche, Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao immediately felt respectful.

While speaking, Jin Xiang came in and reported: "General, there is Baili, Zheng County, asking for a visit."

"Baili?" Without waiting for Xiang Zhuang to reply, Xiqilie changed his mind slightly. "Is it Bailixian, Baili Mao, and Baili Yishui three brothers and sisters?" After saying this, Xiqilie asked Jin Xiang again, "Little brother, is there a white-clothed handsome man among them, a young and strong man, and a very handsome little lady?"

Jin Xiang said: "There are hundreds of people outside, but I didn't pay attention to it."

"Hundreds of people?" Ziche Shi smiled and said, "that must be a disciple of Baili's clan."

Xiangzhuang looked at Xiqilie, then at Ziche Master, and said with great interest: "Do both righteous men know about Baili?"

Before Xiqilie was waiting for Xiqilie, Zicheshi replied, Wei Liao had already answered first: "The General does not know that this Baili clan is a famous family in Guanzhong. His ancestors were Baili Xi, a wise minister of Duke Mu. During the reign of Duke Xiao, Baili moved to Zhengyi. Because he had good business and wealthy family, he had hundreds of visitors gathered with his subordinates."

Ziche Shi rushed to Xiangzhuang, and Wei Liao bowed and said respectfully: "General, the old lieutenant, the Baili clan generation has three brothers and sisters, the eldest brother Baili Xian, the talent of the prime minister, the second brother Baili Mao, the bravery of ten thousand men, and the younger sister Baili Yishui is a famous beauty in Guanzhong, haha."

"Oh?" Xiang Zhuang said happily, "So, how about asking the two righteous men to come out with me?"

Xiqilie, Zicheshi naturally had no objection. Xiangzhuang and his party left the hall and headed straight to the gate.

Outside the gate, the four hundred visitors from Baili and hundreds of cattle, horses and mule carts almost blocked the entire street. When Xiangzhuang rushed out of the gate, he saw the bustling crowd of people wearing white clothes and feather fans in front of him, and was graceful and graceful. For a moment, Xiangzhuang almost doubted whether Zhuge Liang had crossed over?
