"Send the order, the whole army will march at full speed, and the target is three miles outside Pengcheng." After hearing Li Ba's words, Cao Shen sighed in his heart and immediately ordered the ordering soldiers around him.

"Promise!" After receiving the order, the ordering soldiers immediately beat the drums and gathered.

"Hey Han Xin, what do you want us to do in Pengcheng? I heard that Xiang Yu led 10,000 Xiang Jiajun to attack Pengcheng. If we go there, what should we do if we encounter a fight between Xiang Jiajun?" There was a soldier in the three thousand vanguard army.

Taking advantage of the gap in the gathering, he asked the man next to him in a low voice.

A look of understanding appeared on the resolute face of the man in question, and then the man murmured: "I didn't expect that there are capable people around Pei Gong, who can actually see through the relationship between Xiang Jiajun and Pei Jun. Let's go to Pengcheng.

It actually saved Pei Jun’s life.”

"I said Han Xin, please answer me. What are you mumbling about?" The soldier still refused to give up and continued to ask.

Only then did the man named Han Xin react and asked: "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

After hearing this, the soldier wanted to die. He asked for a long time, but no one listened at all.

"I said let's go to Pengcheng. What if we start a fight with the Xiang Jiajun? What is your lord going to do? I heard that Xiang Yu of the Xiang Jiajun is the bravest of all three armies and is unstoppable. Moreover, this manpower is huge and it is difficult to do so.

Encountered an enemy." The soldier said sadly again, obviously he had heard a lot about the reputation of Xiang Jiajun and Xiang Yu.

When Han Xin heard this, he sneered at the corner of his mouth and said: "It's just the courage of an ordinary man. Leading troops to fight is not only a test of bravery, but also relies on this..." As he said that, he pointed to his head, and then

He continued: "Xiang Yu only knows how to bravely charge into battle. This person has no fear."

Hearing Han Xin's explanation, the soldier felt sad and said: "You just brag here. You keep mumbling things that others can't understand all day long. I think you are jealous."

Han Xin shook his head and did not explain too much. When talking to these soldiers, he really couldn't say anything more. For him, only people like *** are qualified to listen to his art of war and the use of troops.

road.

After the overall situation was assembled, Cao Shen took the lead and led the troops away quickly. However, before he had gone half a mile, he saw the secret sentry he had set up on the opposite side galloping towards him. "Report——, report to the general. Thousands of people were found five miles ahead. Look,

His armor is that of Xiang Jiajun."

"Xiang Jiajun?" Cao Shen was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Li Ba and said, "What do you think?"

Li Ba spread his hands and said with a smile: "No need to ask, we must have been discovered. We will definitely send someone to investigate."

"Well, I think so too." Cao Shen nodded slightly, and then he ordered again: "Order the entire army to stand in standby and wait for the arrival of Xiang Jiajun." Then he worriedly warned the ordering soldiers again:

"The order goes down. No one is allowed to attack without my order. Order the shield soldiers to line up in the front row, and the archers to have their arrows on the strings and not to use the full bow."

"Promise!" The ordering soldiers immediately ran away without hesitation, and then the entire army arranged their formations in sequence according to Cao Shen's instructions.

In Pei's army, Han Xin frowned when he saw this and muttered: "General Cao's formation does not seem to be in order, but if he really fights against Xiang's army, it will have no effect at all.

Ah. If we can allocate two thousand troops and place a thousand men on each side of the wings to form a battle formation, we can handle a thousand troops." Then he told his plan for deploying troops.

However, after all, he was just a nobody, so it was naturally impossible for him to convey his thoughts. Therefore, in the end, Han Xin still followed Cao Shen's instructions and followed the army to defend.

Within half an hour, the entire Pei army vanguard saw smoke and dust sweeping in from a distance. Then when the smoke and dust dissipated, nearly a thousand troops were arrayed in a majestic formation a hundred meters away. It was obvious that

I'm watching out for them.

"Look at the flag, it's Xiang Yu's subordinate Ji Bu's army." Li Ba said to Cao Shen.

"I wonder if Ji Bu is here for war or peace?" Cao Shen said slightly worriedly.

Hearing this, Li Ba said again in a voice like thunder: "Whether it's a war or a peace, our momentum cannot be lost to the gang of boys on the opposite side."

Then I heard this rough man yelling: "Pei Jun! Pei Jun!"

"Pei Jun! Pei Jun——"

The three thousand soldiers behind him also shouted to the sky, and the deafening sound immediately rushed towards the thousand soldiers on the opposite side.

When Ji Bu heard the thundering sound of Pei's army, his horse was in a commotion when he sat down, so he was surprised in his heart. He secretly thought that this army of three thousand people did not seem to be weaker than the Xiang army behind him. But when he heard clearly "

When he heard the words "Pei Jun", he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a general in the Xiang family's army, Ji Bu naturally knew Xiang Liang's attitude towards the Peixian army after he captured Pengcheng. This was also the suggestion of the new military commander Fan Zeng, so when he knew that the Pei army was on the opposite side, he immediately ordered all his troops

The army waited in place, and then ordered people to go and report.

Seeing a horse coming from the Xiang family's army, Cao Shen asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

"You'll know after you take a look." Li Ba also said puzzledly.

"Listen, the Pei army across the way, we are the army of General Ji Bu under General Xiang Yu. Pengcheng has been captured by General Xiang Yu. If you are not the Qin army rushing to rescue Pengcheng, please leave quickly."

The soldiers of the army stood in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies and shouted loudly.

"It turns out that we were told to retreat. It seems that Xiang Yu is attacking Pengcheng at this time. This is the time for our army to rush to help." Cao Shen was overjoyed and said with a smile on his face.

Li Ba nodded, then rode forward and shouted to Ji Bu in person with his loud voice: "Listen, I am Li Ba under Pei Gong's account in Pei County. Today I heard that General Xiang Yu captured Pengcheng bravely. My lord also admires me."

When he arrived, he ordered me to lead the troops to help General Xiang. I also asked General Ji Bu opposite to tell General Xiang Yu that our Pei army is sincere and willing to conquer this city together for General Xiang Liang."

Li Ba's thunderous voice naturally and clearly fell into Ji Bu's ears. However, although Ji Bu was frightened, he calmly rode forward. As a result, between the two armies, Li Ba and Ji Bu both looked at each other.

.

"Are you the general under Pei Gong's tent?" Ji Bu looked at the big man and said rather boldly.

"I am Li Ba." Li Ba raised his head and said: "This time I and General Cao Shen led three thousand troops to help General Xiang Yu, and I also wanted General Ji Bu to go and report. In addition, my lord also came in person.

We are on the road at this time, and if nothing happens, we will arrive at the foot of Pengcheng at dusk."

"What? Pei Gong is here in person?" After hearing this, Ji Bu was a little anxious. Fan Zeng had said that he would win over Xiang Liang. At this time, Xiang Lianggong had not arrived yet. If Xiang Liang came here, only Xiang Yu could do it.
