The Chu army was resting in a large village near Linzi.

Xiang Zhuang knew that time was precious, and every time a second was wasted in Linzi, the Chu army became more dangerous, but there was no way. After all, the Chu soldiers were humans rather than machines. After ten consecutive days of long-distance march and another fierce battle in Linzi, the soldiers were extremely tired and needed rest urgently.

The people in the village have been driven away, and this time, the Chu army did not kill anyone.

It was not Xiang Zhuang's kindness, but he needed these people to help him promote the cruel image of the "Han Army" everywhere.

Xiang Zhuang knew very well that if the Great Chu wanted to revive, it would have to provoke a dispute between Han Xin and Liu Bang, but Han Xin was a political idiot. All the civil and military officials he trusted were Liu Bang's confidants. Therefore, if even the powerful, aristocratic and people in Qi were all interested in Liu Bang, then what else did Han Xin fight against Liu Bang?

Historically, Liu Bang gained the support of the people of Qi through a series of political actions during his inspection of Qi, and then gained the support of the powerful and powerful clans of Qi. Then, Liu Bang took Han Xin's military power. If it weren't for this, how could Han Xin obediently accept Liu Bang's arrangement and be named King of Chu if he left Qi?

However, in this life, it was difficult for Liu Bang to win the hearts of the people in Qidi again!

The Linzi fire has seriously damaged the image of the Han army in the hearts of the people in Qi!

The fire in Linzi City has been burning for two days and two nights. Looking from a distance, I saw that there were still flames in the city. The raging fire pushed the rolling smoke and dust up, almost covering half of the sky! Xiang Zhuang believed that when the fire was burned out, Linzi, the thousand-year-old ancient city, might no longer exist, and even the small southwest city might be abandoned.

Wei Liao didn't know when he came behind Xiang Zhuang and said in a faint voice: "General, it's time to turn in."

Although it was Xiang Zhuang's decision to burn Linzi, Wei Liao still felt guilty. Burning a city will cause hundreds of thousands of people to be homeless. This fact is a harm to the peace of mind! However, this is done for survival, so Wei Liao cannot be said to be merciful. For the revival of the Great Chu, he must be killed or killed, and he must be burned or burned.

"I'll go and see the injured soldiers again." Xiang Zhuang nodded and turned into the yard behind him.

This yard is specially designed to accommodate severely injured soldiers. As for soldiers who were only slightly injured, there is another place to accommodate them.

In the yard, more than fifty Chu soldiers who were seriously injured but still not breathing their breath were lined up. These were the soldiers who were injured when attacking Linzi that night. The injured doctor asserted that they could not save them. Among them, most of them were already in a daze and knew nothing, and the remaining dozen were still maintaining a clear consciousness.

Seeing Xiang Zhuang, the dozen or sore wounded soldiers who were still awake instantly understood everything.

"General, I don't want to die, I don't want to die. Take me back to Jiangdong, please, please."

"General, take me with you, don't leave me behind. I'm not seriously injured and will recover soon..."

"General, I have a seventy-year-old mother in my family and three-year-old child at my house. I am the pillar of the family. They can't live without me, really can't live without me..."

Faced with death, most of the wounded soldiers were scared.

On the battlefield, they may be afraid of death, because in the fierce battle, they have no time to consider the issue of life and death. When the war is over, they either live or die, so they don’t have that much trouble. But now, it is really difficult to accept death calmly.

A soldier who was only seventeen or eighteen years old looked at Xiang Zhuang sadly. Although he did not speak, Xiang Zhuang read endless begging from his eyes. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. His life had just begun. He didn't even know what a woman felt like. Now he was leaving this mundane world. How can he not regret it?

Xiang Zhuang dragged his heavy steps and slowly walked past the feet of more than 50 seriously injured soldiers.

Xiang Zhuang's cold eyes swept across the faces of more than a dozen still awake wounded soldiers. Although these wounded soldiers begged hard, they could not get Xiang Zhuang's slightest stay or a trace of pity. His heart had already become harder than steel in the endless killing. Suddenly, Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand and pressed it lightly.

A team of personal soldiers rushed forward, first turning over more than fifty seriously injured soldiers, then drew out the sword and stabbed the back of the seriously injured soldiers with a sword. The pleading sounds suddenly stopped.

When Xiangzhuang walked out of the yard, thick smoke had already risen in the yard. Gongsun Sui was cremating the bodies of more than 50 seriously injured soldiers with his personal soldiers, and then he would casually take out a small handful of ashes from the pile of ashes and put them in the small sack marked with the names of these seriously injured soldiers. When he was beaten back to Jiangdong in the future, he would return the ashes to their relatives.

The 150,000 coalition forces of Liu Bang, Ying Bu, Wu Rui and Zangtu were slowly advancing towards Qi along the way.

The army drove along with the army, including 30,000 civilians recruited from Liang and 30,000 shi of military rations transported from Sanchuan County.

Three days ago, Han Xin had already brought his army of 300,000 to Qi. At the same time Han Xin returned to the army, Zhang Er and Han Xin also returned to the country with their respective troops.

Liu Bang was tired of riding a horse, so he asked Xiahou Ying to find him a carriage.

At this moment, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were hiding in the carriage and discussing secretly.

After some thought, Zhang Liang finally arranged the five bamboo slips sent by Wang Ling to hurry to deliver 800 miles. He hurriedly read the content and said to Liu Bang: "King, Wang Ling said in the secret letter that except for Lu County, which was occupied by the remnants of the Chu army, the other county magistrates and magistrates (masters) of Langya County, Jibei County, Linzi County, Jiaodong County, Xue County are basically his people!"

Liu Bang nodded and asked Zhang Liang. Chen Ping said, "Zifang, Chen Ping, do you think Wang Ling is reliable?"

Zhang Liang said without hesitation: "Wang Ling is righteous and upright. If even he is unreliable, then I really can't think of anyone in the world who is trustworthy."

"That's good." Liu Bang said happily, "It's good if it's reliable."

Chen Ping also said: "But if the king wants to cut off the foundation of the King of Qi in Qi, the support of the county magistrates and county magistrates of each county is not enough. He must also obtain the support of the rich people of Qi, especially the four great families of Tian, ​​Jiang, Lu and Wei. The king must get their support. Otherwise, it will be difficult to uproot the power of the King of Qi."

"Yes, yes, this matter is very important." Liu Bang nodded repeatedly and said to Zhang Liang, "Zifang, hurry up and send another secret letter to Cao Shen and Wang Ling, asking them to contact the powerful aristocratic clans in Qi. Even if they are unwilling to support Yu Gu, they should try their best to persuade them to remain neutral. If necessary, they can promise them some benefits."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already told Cao Shen."

"Oh, then I'll be relieved." Liu Bang said this, and his attention immediately moved to the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang. He asked Zhang Liang again, "Zifang, there has been no news about the remnants of the Xiangzhuang in these days. Do you think the child of Xiangzhuang is in Qi now, or has he crossed the river and rushed into Zhao?"

Speaking of Xiang Zhuang's remnants, Zhang Liang's expression immediately became serious, and he shook his head and said, "I dare not assert this."

Liu Bang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Zifang, although Han Xin's threat is great, his current confidant is still the remnants of the Chu army of Xiang Zhuang. If you let the Chu army wander around like this, maybe one day Xiang Zhuang's son will rush into Guanzhong. At that time, the situation will be difficult to deal with!"

Zhang Liang said solemnly: "Don't worry, I have a solution."

"Is there really a countermeasure?" Liu Bang said skeptically, "When in Xingyang, didn't you say that Wei Liao's plan was an open plan? Even if we know the intentions of the Chu army, we can't stop it at all?"

Chen Ping also suddenly raised his ears, and he was also looking forward to Zhang Liang's countermeasures.

"King, if it's really a chessboard game, and I and Wei Liao have the same chess and equal conditions, then I will have to lose in this game." After saying this, Zhang Liang said, "However, this is not a chessboard game, but a practical battle! I have a chess that is far superior to Wei Liao, plus timely and accurate intelligence support, it is not difficult to crack Wei Liao's subsequent chess path."

"Okay!" Liu Bang said excitedly, "Zifang, how can we solve the plot of the old guy Wei Liao?"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said in a profound and profound way: "King, I have four righteous and six strange things, and a net of ten sides that can break the Chu army!"

"Four positives and six strange things, ten-sided net?" Liu Bang was confused when he heard this and said, "To be more detailed, what ten-sided net?"

Zhang Liang nodded and explained patiently: "The so-called four commanders, King Han Xin of Qi, King Zhang Er of Zhao, King Peng Yue of Liang, and King Han of Han, built beacon towers in the four places, gathered heavy troops to set up defenses, thus forming four blockade lines, trapping the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang between Qi, Zhao, Liang and Han, and not allowing them to escape easily!"

"Well, this problem is not big. Han Xin, Peng Yue, Zhang Er, and King Han Xin have already brought their troops back to China. Just tell them to build more beacon towers." After saying this, Liu Bang asked anxiously again, "The four are the army of Han Xin, Peng Yue, Zhang Er and King Han Xin, so what about the six wonders?"

"The so-called Six Scarlets are called Zhou Bo, Wang Nao, Mei Yu, Fu Kuan, Li Shang and Xiahou Ying as generals, each leading 20,000 elite troops, prepared half a month of dry food, and advanced in six directions. When they found a beacon fire, they would attack wherever they found. Once they found the traces of the Chu army, they would immediately intercept them. One army blocked the front road, one army blocked the back road, two armies raided the side, and the remaining two armies would cruising on standby."

After saying this, Zhang Liang said again: "Although the Chu army is elite, they lack intelligence support and do not know which direction to break through to be safe and not intercepted. As a result, they can only bump into the ten-sided net. In short, as long as the Chu army shows its traces, they will never be able to get a moment of breathing. How can they not be defeated?!"

"Miscellaneous, wonderful!" Liu Bang said excitedly, "Now Xiangzhuang's child is dead, haha!" ps: Thanks: The story of the starry sky, xxxx4444y, octopuszg, lonely guest outside the sky, the last love is to let go of your hand, hs85242059, ugly people make monsters 1, o wheat-tooth beast o, cruel c, ★ free and romantic ★, drifting de bait, raging party, zgquan1981, lonely rainy night walk, crying Xiao Zi, true love flowing water, Tang Yujun, sè Wolf Valley Master and other book friends' generous rewards, thank you very much!
