"Third brother, come and have some." Xiang Yu put some fried bean sprouts in the bowl, sat on a stool, and raised his head to Xiang Jing.
Xiang Jing stretched out, sat across from Xiang Yu, pinched two crispy fried bean sprouts, and chewed them loudly.
"Do you want to fight next? Keep pushing forward? Linji is not far away from us." Xiang Baixing looked at Xiang Yu while chewing the sweet potato.
"The original strategy was to stick here, but judging from the general's intention, it should be to continue pushing westward." Xiang Yu put the bowl on the table, picked up the small pot of wine from the side, and untied the rope.
Xiang Jing's eyes lit up: "Wine!?"
Then he hesitated again: "But we are defending the city, can we drink?"
"All parties are in peace. This is the stage of peace that has been acquiesced. Why not drink? Do we have to keep fighting until we die?" Xiang Yu smiled nonchalantly, poured a bowl of wine, and praised Xiang Jing.
"Come and have a drink. Normal people will go crazy if they don't use wine to relieve some stress after fighting for a long time."
"Okay." Xiang Jing swallowed, took the wine from Xiang Yu's hand, raised his head, and drank the bean sprouts that had not been completely chewed, and drank them all.
"Haha - it's so good, so refreshing." Wiping the remaining wine at the corner of his mouth, Xiang Jing laughed and said, "It's a pity that the second brother and the fourth brother are not here. If they were here, the wine would probably be the same again."
It will smell a lot better!”
"Yeah..." Xiang Yu sighed, with a hint of loneliness in his usually calm eyes, "When the war ends, the four of us, brother and sister, can have a few more drinks together."
...
Zi Huai squatted in his tent and kept rubbing his dagger with his thumb.
I am really a useless person...
There are people protecting my sister, and General Liu also has many available generals...
...Find something you can do.
He walked out of the camp, looked at the dark night sky outside, and disappeared in a flash.
"Huh?" Liu Ji, who happened to step out of the tent to take a breath, noticed something leaving, causing a slight gust of wind.
Walking to Zi Huai's tent, Liu Ji sighed as he looked at the empty tent.
"Ashu...you must not get into trouble again."
...
After Xiang Liang captured Dingtao, he temporarily guarded it, while Xiang An guarded Chengyang in the north, Xiang Yu guarded Xiangcheng between Dingtao and Chengyang, and the three uncles and nephews guarded north of Wenshui River.
Forming a straight line of defense.
But now Xiang Liang is not satisfied with playing defensive counterattack. He wants to go further. For him, this is the weakest time since Zhang Han left Hangu Pass in the east. If he cannot take advantage at this time, he will take advantage later.
It will be much more difficult.
"Get ready. After five days, continue to advance westward. Try to rest as much as possible within these five days. Tell the whole army not to be intimidated by Zhang Han." Xiang Liang put his spear aside and looked at Huang Xiaozhong.
"It's up to you to notify Xiang Yu and Xiang An, and they must be fast!"
"Yes! General, don't worry about my equestrian skills!" Huang Xiaozhong smiled confidently and patted his chest.
...
"You mean to leave the defense line in five days?" Xiang Yu frowned, "Are you a little too hasty?"
"The general said not to be frightened by Zhang Han. He is at his weakest now." Huang Xiaozhong said with his fists in hand.
Xiang Yu smacked his lips and said, "Okay, I understand. You should inform Xiang An next. Go quickly."
"Yes!" Huang Xiaozhong said and ran out of the camp, continuing northward towards Chengyang City.
Xiang Yu shook his head and sighed slightly.
I feel that the progress of the war is a bit too weak. Although it is true that Zhang Han is weak, he should not have been defeated so quickly.
Anyway...a little weird.
However, the current state of the Chu army is indeed very good. If it defends for too long, it will lose morale. It does make sense to attack earlier.
After one vigorous effort, it weakened again, and finally exhausted three times, the Western Chu army has not yet been defeated. On the contrary, Zhang Han's army has just been demoralized by the Chu army, and now is indeed a good time to attack.
"Lao San, pass my order to prepare the entire army and continue to fight westward in four days!" He found Xiang Jing and issued his order.
...
"Leave the defense line?" Xiang An stared, "Are you sure this is what the general said?"
"Yes! Fight to the west and try to drive Zhang Han to the north of the river before Zhang Han can react!" Huang Xiaozhong nodded and said to Xiang An.
He looked a little tired.
"...Okay, tell the general, I know, and I will unite the troops to go out to the defense line when the time comes." Xiang An gritted his teeth and sat on the chair, thinking for a few minutes before raising his head dejectedly.
, looking at Huang Xiaozhong.
Zijuan, Xiang Lu, and Jiang Chun were all sitting below, with different expressions.
"Your uncle is impatient." Xiang Lu shook his head, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"But if you think about it carefully, now is indeed a good time to advance westward." Jiang Chun glanced at Xiang An, "If we continue to hold on, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable."
He was the only general who survived Zhang Han's night attack on the central and western Chu forces in Linji a while ago. After returning, he returned to Xiang An's command.
"Well, I know." Xiang An nodded and knocked on the table, "This is indeed our best choice at the moment, although it is a risky move."
"Second brother, you..." Zijuan seemed to know something and spoke hesitantly.
"I'm fine, little four. Just follow the general's orders. Now we have to rely on ourselves." Xiang An pinched the bridge of his nose a little irritably, "If there are reinforcements from Qi, we can be more calm.
That's..."
Although Xiang Liang's troops are not small, spreading them over an entire defense line seems a bit inadequate, not to mention that there are still several cities in the rear that need to be taken down. Chu State's current seemingly huge territory also requires a lot of strength to defend.
, and the border with Qi State. Because of the previous incident, the border position is now quite tense. There will occasionally be small frictions, but they are all suppressed by the people above.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiang An closed his eyes to rest for a few seconds. When he opened his eyes, a cold light flashed through him: "Inform the entire army and prepare to continue fighting!"
...
Linji.
Zhang Han is dressing up.
Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold wind coming from the side of his head, and subconsciously avoided it.
"Bang." The figure in the shadow spat, turned the knife, and disappeared from the spot.
"...Assassin?" Zhang Han frowned, pulled out his bronze sword, and felt the surroundings vigilantly.
After waiting for a long time and confirming that the assassin was gone, Zhang Han silently put away his bronze sword.
"You know what's going on. If you don't miss a single hit, just leave, otherwise I will definitely keep you here." He snorted coldly, wiped the cold sweat off his face, and said with a smile.
