Chapter 143

Xianyang, the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Huan Chu, Ji Bu, look at me, I look at you, don’t you know if you should be angry or happy?

Just now, Xiang Zhuang had just announced the appointment, appointing Huan Chu as the second general of the Great Chu State, and Ji Bu as the last general. In this way, Huan Chu became the second largest person in the Chu army after Xiang Zhuang, and Ji Bu became the third largest person. However, the two of them were not fools, and knew that Xiang Zhuang did this just to deprive them of military power. [bsp;    Huan Chu hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "General, the last general still wants to return to the front army to lead the troops."

"Of course." Xiang Zhuang said without hesitation, "When the Great Chu is revived, the two generals have the opportunity to lead troops independently, but now, you should stay in the Central Army to assist me in handling military affairs and train veterans. To be honest, I have had enough of these veterans. I am not very good at fighting power, and my military discipline is too corrupt. It is time to rectify it."

This reason is quite high-sounding. Apart from Xiang Zhuang, only the two veterans can suppress them.

Huan Chu sighed, and bowed to Ji Busi Shi and said, "In this way, the last general will receive the order."

"Okay." Xiang Zhuang took two steps forward, patted Kichu's shoulders affectionately, and said, "Two generals should go and go to rest. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to rectify these veterans."

"I will wait until I leave." Ji Bu bowed again and turned around and left.

As soon as the two left the hall, they met the depressed Wu She.

Huan Chu and Ji Bu had already heard about Xiang Zhuang worshiping the Mausoleum of the First Emperor on the way to Xianyang. Of course, they also knew why Wu She was unhappy. Huan Chu stepped forward and advised: "Sir, just think about it. Death is the greatest. King Zheng of Qin is already dead. It is no big deal for the General to worship him. Just worship the ancients."

"Oh..." Wu She sighed and said depressedly, "I have already worshipped me, what else can I do?"

Wu She really has a view on some of Xiang Zhuang's behavior, but he is never vague about major issues. No matter what, Xiang Zhuang is the general of the State of Great Chu and the only hope for the revival of Great Chu. Therefore, no matter how unhappy Wu She is, he still has to endure the spirit and continue to assist the general in achieving the great cause of restoring Chu.

"Haha, that's right." Huan Chu said cheerfully, "What do you think so much?"

Ji Bu also said: "Let's go, sir, we have a day left, so let's drink Liangjinjiu."

Just as Wu She was about to say goodbye, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the gate. When the three of them turned their heads and looked, they saw a dusty school that had already rushed in. While running like flying, the school howled loudly: "General, the Nurfeng Camp urgently reported, Nurfeng Camp urgently taught"..."

"General is inside!" Wu She stepped forward and said, "Follow me."

At that moment, Ji Bu was not in the mood to drink, and led the school to the hall with Wu She.

Xiangzhuang in the hall had already heard the long howl just now, and now he had already reached the entrance of the hall. When he saw the school, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Aren't you Gao Chu's personal soldier captain Po Jun?"

"The villain is." Pojun bowed and gasped, "General, ghost",..."

Xiang Zhuang's heart suddenly sank, but his face was calm and he said calmly: "Speak slowly."

Po Jun nodded, took a deep breath first, and then continued, "General, the villain is in charge of General Gao's military order and has an emergency military information report." After saying this, Po Jun said again: "No less than fifty miles northwest of Wuguan, a large number of Han troops were found, with at least ten thousand troops. Moreover, General Gao estimated that there might be more Han troops in Wuguan!"

"Um?"

"What?!"

"The Han army was actually found in the direction of Wuguan?!"

Huan Chu, Ji Bu, and Wu She's face suddenly changed.

Wei Liao's face sank instantly, and he caught the Chu army off guard.

Originally, according to Wei Liao's plan, "When Liu Bang's army conquered Hangu Pass, the Chu army should almost destroy Liu Bang's Guanzhong ruthlessness, and then he should leave Wu Pass and cross the Linjiang Kingdom and fight back to Jiangdong! But now, a large number of Han troops suddenly appeared in the direction of Wu Pass, and the situation suddenly took a sharp turn!

The problem now is that the Chu army can’t get out!

Xiang Zhuang calmed down and said, "Where is Gao Chu?"

Pokong bowed and replied, "General is now on standby south of Xiaoguan. The general said that as long as the general gives an order, the Nufeng Camp will immediately launch an attack on Wuguan. Even if he fights to the last person, he will do whatever he wants!"

"Nothing!" Xiang Zhuang groaned and said coldly, "Go, let Gao Chu lead the Nufeng Camp back soon!"

Xiang Zhuang still trusts Gao Chu very much. Gao Chu is brave and resourceful and has a strong observation ability. Since he said that there are more Han troops stationed in Wuguan, there must be! Since the Han army was prepared for a long time, since Liu Bang had sent a large army to block Wuguan, and if one thousand people in Nufeng Camp went to fight Wuguan, he would be killed.

"No!" Breaking the air and responded to the promise and took the order.

Xiangzhuang hurried into the hall and then rushed to the screen hanging on the map.

Wei Liao, Wu She, Huan Chu, and Ji Bu also followed Xiang Zhuang to the screen without saying a word. Although Wu She was having a quarrel with Xiang Zhuang, the Chu army is now facing the threat of life and death. Where can Wu She have this idea?

"Awesome, amazing!" Wei Liao sighed and said in a deep voice, "General, the Han army obviously expected that our army would definitely leave Linjiang from Wuguan and return to Jiangdong, so we sent troops to block Wuguan in advance!"

"I'm afraid of him!" Huan Chu said with a fist, "Let's just fight again!"

"That's it!" Ji Bu also said, "Even Hangu Pass has been captured by us, so what about Wu Pass?"

"This cannot be compared, it cannot be compared." Wei Liao shook his head repeatedly, "Attacking Hangu Pass, we have cloud ladders, well railings, and siege cars. But the road to Wu Pass is rugged and difficult to walk, and these heavy equipment cannot be walked at all. Moreover, Wu Pass is narrow and the army cannot move on. Once it cannot be attacked, it will become a stalemate, and then the rear is intercepted by Liu Bang's army. We are so terrible."

"We must never go to Wuguan!" Xiang Zhuang said decisively, "Since Liu Bang sent troops to Wuguan, the ones sent must be elite soldiers and generals. As the military advisor said, if the Han army kept defending to the death, our army would definitely not be able to capture Wuguan in a hurry. By then, Liu Bang's army intercepted our retreat again, and we would become a turtle in the jar."

"What should I do?" Wu She said anxiously, "If Wu Pass cannot get out of Hangu Pass, it will be even worse. Could it be that I really have to fight Chen Cang Pass or take the Ziwu Gu Road?"

"Chen Cangdao and Ziwu Valley are also dead ends." Wei Liao shook his head and sighed, "Even if our army captured Chen Cang Pass or walked through Ziwu Valley trail, once we entered Hanzhong, it would be difficult to think about it again. It is true that Hanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it is really not easy for people inside to come out. This is where the dragon locks."

Hanzhong is indeed a place where no one can be locked. Xiang Yu once wanted to use Hanzhong to lock Liu Bang's Chiwu.

Unfortunately, Xiao He sang out to chase Han Xin under the moon, and Liu Bang came out to the altar to worship him again. As a result, Han Xin gave Liu Bang the dragon and flew out of Hanzhong in an instant.

"What should I do?" Wu She clapped her hands and became more anxious and angry, "Wu Pass, Hangu Pass cannot get out of Hanzhong, and Hanzhong cannot go, so I really have to go with Rong Di."

"Bird." Gui Chu said, "It would be better to go to Hangu Pass to fight with Liu Bang's old man!"

"Hmm?!" Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and a thought suddenly jumped out.

Wei Liao was also touched. At that moment, the two of them looked at Gu Pass and Hangu Pass at the same time. If an elite force was sent to guard Gu Pass and then all the troops were blocked Hangu Pass, could they block Liu Bang's army? If they could block Liu Bang's army for one or two months at Hangu Pass, Liu Bang's army would definitely lose food and grass and his morale would be disintegrated.

"Go to Hangu Pass!" Gripping his teeth, Xiang Zhuang said decisively, "Fight with Liu Bang!"

"Ah? I really go to Hangu Pass?" Wu She, Ji Bu looked at each other, unable to believe it.

"Yes, damn, I'll fight with Liu Bang!" Huan Chu said excitedly, "Our Huan has had enough of this day of running around. General, we should have done this long ago."

"military adviser.

"Xiang Zhuang asked Wei Liao again, "What do you think?"

Wei Liao nodded and said solemnly: "Seeking to live in death is also a way!"

Xiang Zhuang suddenly looked up and was about to summon Jinxiang to send flying cavalry to gather the troops. Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall again, and then Pang Yu, who was disheveled and heavily armored, had already rushed in and entered the hall. When he entered the hall, Pang Yu knelt down on the mat and said tragically: "General, Hangu Pass... is lost!"

Xiang Zhuang, Wei Liao's face turned pale when he heard this. What's this damn name?

Huan Chu was furious, stepped forward and grabbed Pang Yu, roaring: "What did you say? Hangu Pass is lost?!"

Pang Yu sighed, "The last general cut the mountain vines and tied into a rope, and then went down the cliff to attack the Han army's major camp of crows, burning all the heavy equipment and military rations of the Han army. Unexpectedly, the Han army actually used the mountain vines and tied into a rope to attack Hangu Pass at night. Although the last general set up a beacon tower on the cliff to warn, he still failed to stop the Han army's sneak attack. Alas..."

Pang Yu said a few words and explained the whole story of the fall of Hangu Pass clearly. Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao's eyes lit up first, and then they were very regretful.

Xiang Zhuang sighed even more, thinking that Pang Yu is still young and has been following him for too short time. If it were Gao Chu or Jing Qiangu Pass, he would definitely set up a double post on the cliff. Even if the Han army destroyed the open post, the secret post would still ignite the beacon fire to warn him. If the Han army wanted to build a rope for a sneak attack, it would be seeking death.

But then again, if it were Gao Chu, Jing Qian guarding Hangu Pass, he might not have thought of forming vines as ropes and then going down the cliff to counterattack the Han army's major camp of crows.

Ji Chu roared again: "Where is the general and Lao Ji's six thousand army? Well?!"

Pang Yu sighed and said tragically: "There are too half of the six thousand troops killed and injured, and most of the remaining ones are being dispersed. Less than 800 people followed Mo Jiang and fled back to Xianyang."
