Such a result was actually within Xiang Zhuang's expectations.

If a person lives in the world, no one can rely on himself, except for you. Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi are willing to be loyal to Xiang Yu, which does not mean that they will obey Xiang Zhuang. Although Xiang Yu has appointed Xiang Zhuang as the general of Chu State, he also gave his king sword and Qin Shihuang's jade seal to Xiang Zhuang, so what?

Prestige is not given by others, but it depends on oneself to gain bit by bit from the battlefield!

The crisis in front of him is a severe test for Xiang Zhuang. If Xiang Zhuang cannot resolve it, it means that he is not qualified to be the general of Chu.

The reason why Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi stood by was not because they were unwilling to obey Xiang Yu's orders, nor because they had already become determined to rebel against Chu and return to Han, but because they knew very well that if Xiang Zhuang could not bear the responsibility, then everyone might as well leave as soon as possible and run away.

The confrontation is still intermittent, and the air is so heavy that it is suffocating.

Xiang Zhuang took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Tell me, do you want to die or live?"

Xiang Zhuang's voice was like thunder, rolling and echoing in the quiet valley, alarming countless night birds in the forest, and even the Chu soldiers on the outermost side could vaguely hear it.

"If you want to die, then chop me first and then run away from your life."

"But I tell you, you can't escape at all. Soon, the scouts of the coalition forces will find that you will be killed in half a day! Surrender is even worse. If it were the past, surrender could at least save your life, but now there are not many Chu troops left. The soldiers of the coalition forces will not accept your surrender in order to behead their heads."

Xiang Bo's two thousand divisions immediately started to whisper because they knew that Xiang Zhuang was not talking nonsense, and it was indeed a bit late to surrender now. If a senior general with status and status were still alive, they might still survive, but once they surrender, they would definitely be beheaded and then transformed into the military achievements of the coalition soldiers.

"If you don't want to die, then go back to sleep!" Xiang Zhuang roared again, and his whispers stopped abruptly.

Meeting the extremely surprised eyes of the soldiers, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Have enough strength to escape with me tomorrow! I dare not say that I will definitely take you all back to Jiangdong with you, but at least, it will be easier for you to survive with me. In terms of martial arts, I am far less than one ten thousandth of that of the king, but when it comes to the ability to save lives, the king is far less than me!"

After the words came, many soldiers burst into laughter and the tense atmosphere suddenly collapsed.

On the outside, Huan Chu and Ji Bu couldn't help but exchange glances. They had seen Xiang Zhuang's ability to save his life more than once. Whether it was by the Tuo River, at the foot of Shuanglong Mountain, or on the wild horse land, Xiang Zhuang was very alert. He seemed to have an almost instinctive ability to predict danger.

However, what was even more surprised by Huan Chu and Ji Bu that a confrontation that had almost become a sensation was easily resolved by Xiang Zhuang. In addition to the previous ruthlessness of killing Xiang Bo, Xiang Zhuang's performance was already sophisticated enough. Apart from not having the experience of leading the army alone, he was almost an excellent commander.

Zhonglimei and Xiao Gongjiao were also surprised and stroked the tiger's beard under his chin, each with their own thoughts.

But Yu Ziqi looked up at the sky, wandering around, no one knew what he was thinking?

A confrontation that almost turned into a mutiny collapsed invisible. Xiang Bo's troops, who were still tense, returned to the camp to sleep one after another. Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhonglimei, Xiao Gongjiao and Yu Ziqi also stepped forward to meet Xiang Zhuang, and then returned to their respective camps without mentioning it.

It was not until this moment that Xiang Zhuang could breathe a sigh of relief.

Hurry back to the hut that was temporarily used as a military tent, Xiangzhuang didn't bother to take a breath and ordered Jing Qian and Gao Chu to hang a white cloth on the wall of the back door. The white cloth was painted with sloppy mountains, rivers and rivers. This was the "military map" drawn by Xiangzhuang since he traveled through time.

The light of the pine torch drove away the darkness in the hut, but it could not drive away the haze in Xiang Zhuang's heart.

Although the mutiny of Xiang Bo's army was resolved, the situation faced by the remnants of the Chu army remained unchanged. The 700,000 troops of Liu Bang, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu and others were still watching. Once the whereabouts of the Chu army were exposed, the coalition forces of various countries would flock to the crowd. In less than half a day, the four thousand Chu army would be crushed into powder by the coalition forces of various countries.

Escape, in addition to escaping, is also escaping. The most urgent thing is to escape!

But, in which direction should the remnants of the Chu army escape? Where is the way to survive?

The current location of the remnants of the Chu army should be between Huai River and Wujiang River, a valley not far from Dongcheng County. There was originally a large town with a hundred households here. However, now, due to the war between Chu and Han, there have been years of war, and the old and young people in the village have been gone, and half of the living creatures have disappeared, and even a mouse cannot be found.

Dingzhuang's eyes moved past the map and finally frozen in Shouchun City.

After Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he divided the world. Ying Bu was conferred the king of Jiujiang. The capital was in Shouchun. Later, Ying Bu rebelled against Chu. Xiang Yu condemned the general Long Jue to defeat Ying Bu. Jiujiang became the Jiujiang County of Chu. Before the decisive battle at Gaixia, Zhou Yin, who was left behind in Jiujiang, rebelled against Chu and joined forces with Han general Liu Jia and Ying Bu to attack Xiang Yu. His rebels went north from Shouchun.

Now, Zhou Yin’s rebels should not be back in Gaixia, and Shouchun can be said to be empty in defense!

Moreover, although Zhou Yin had betrayed the State of Chu, his subordinates might not be in the same way as him. The rebels who stayed in Shouchun might not be loyal to the Xiang family and the old subordinates of the State of Chu. If Xiang Zhuang could lead the army to the Shouchun City before Zhou Yin returned to the army, it would be entirely possible that the soldiers would retake Shouchun City without bloodshed.

Even if there were no old subordinates of Chu in the rebels, and even if they could not conquer Shouchun, it wouldn't matter.

Because Xiangzhuang’s real goal is not Shouchun City, but the Dabie Mountains west of Shouchun - the Dabie Mountains!

The remnants of the Chu army were less than 4,000, while the coalition forces of various countries had more than 700,000. Therefore, if you want to survive, you can only go into the mountains. Dabie Mountains is undoubtedly the best choice!

Of course, Xiangzhuang never thought of occupying the mountain as king. This was simply a delusion, because the Dabie Mountains at this time were definitely a true primeval forest, and even woodcutters and hunters could not find a few, let alone densely populated towns. Therefore, the Dabie Mountains did not have the prerequisites to become a base.

The only thing Xiangzhuang wants is to rely on the Dabie Mountains to deal with the 700,000 coalition forces!

When the coalition forces were dragged out, dragged down, gave up, and withdrew, the Chu army would again protrude, either fight back to Jiangdong, or fight in the world. In short, as long as there was still a breath, Xiang Zhuang would never give up easily, because he knew that surrendering to Liu Bang would definitely be a dead end, and if he persisted, there would be a glimmer of hope.

After making a decision in his heart, Xiang Zhuang was no longer afraid of his head and fearfulness. He immediately ordered Jing Qian and Gao Chu said, "Please hold the map and go to bed!"

"No!" Jing Qian, Gao Chu carefully put away the map and then left the hut.

Before leaving, Gao Chu suddenly asked Jing Qian in a low voice, "Jing Qian, the general has been staring at Shouchun just now. He wouldn't want to fight Shouchun? We have less than 4,000 people now, and the morale is low, and the brothers have been hungry for several days. Shouchun is tall and the city is deep. Can it be defeated?"

"How can I know this?" Jing Qian said, "Anyway, I will do whatever the general says."

"You kid, you're just a naughty boy." Gao Chu said angrily, "When will you learn to use your brain?"

The two of them had arguing away gradually, but Xiang Zhuang, who had already lying down, was slightly moved. Jing Qian and Gao Chu can be said to be the confidants of Xiang Zhuang, but their personalities were completely unmoved. Jing Qian was extremely brave and straightforward by nature. Although Gao Chu was a little inferior in martial arts, he was quite smart. Both of them could be called a talent for making.

The banquet was not over in the Qi army camp at Gaixia.

Liu Bang pretended to be unable to drink, and with the help of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, he left Han Xin's tent. Before leaving the tent, Zhang Liang winked at Cao Shen, who was sitting in the lower head. Cao Shen met. Shortly after Liu Bang left, he also used the excuse of changing clothes (to the toilet) and then quietly came to Liu Bang's tent.

When Cao Shen walked into the tent, Liu Bang was soaking his feet under the service of two beautiful little maids.

Meeting guests or subordinates while soaking feet is quite rude. However, Cao Shen followed Liu Bang all the way from Pei County. He knew very well what kind of person Liu Bang was, so he was not displeased at all. Instead, he walked to the table calmly and knelt down next to Chen Ping.

Liu Bang's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and asked Cao Shen: "Han Xin, how?"

This question was so stupid, but Cao Shen knew what Liu Bang meant, and immediately replied: "The king divided the land of Huai and Si to Qi. The king of Qi was very satisfied. He praised the king in public or in private. Fan Yang's debater Kuai Che maliciously slandered the king several times, but instead was scolded by the king."

Liu Bang nodded and suddenly said, "Well, then you go back first."

"I, take your leave." Cao Shen bowed to Liu Bang, stood up and left.

When Cao Shen left, Liu Bang suddenly asked Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, "What do you think about changing Han Xin to King of Chu?"

"The king is wise." Zhang Liang and Chen Ping clasped their fists together and agreed loudly. Xiang Yu was dead and Chu State was dead. Now it is indeed time to remove Han Xin's military power.
