"The wind blows, the clouds fly—!"

In the empty mountains, the horns of the Han army gathered sounded, and rows of fiery red figures moved closer to Guan Ying's central army from the rear of the road.

Compared with the peasant armed forces under Xingyang City who fought with only passionate and heroic spirit, the five thousand Han soldiers under Guan Ying had already lost their youthfulness when carrying hoes. They had a firm look and a cold expression. Facing life, their eyes were filled with ruthless indifference.

"Send a letter to the left-wing Zhou Hou and ask him to come and meet quickly." Guan Ying stopped at the junction of Fufeng and Wugong, and looked at the west sky with a complicated expression.

"promise!"

The scout followed the order and jumped onto the war horse and galloped towards the vast road. On Guan Ying's left wing, it was the army commanded by Zhou Xu, the close servant under Liu Bang. Unlike Guan Ying, a warrior who fought for status and glory on the battlefield, Zhou Xu adopted another method to gain status.

After Liu Bang was crowned as king, he promoted several close servants who served by him. Zhou Qiong was one of them. He had not fought through life and death, nor had he seen the cruelty of bloody people dying together. He easily gained power that others could not gain after working hard for several years. Zhou Qiong's experience not only made ordinary soldiers of the Han army who had not made a fortune feel angry, but also made Guan Ying feel injustice.

"The King of Han has changed! The approachable Pei Gong, who was willing to seek a famous scholar or a warrior, disappeared. Instead, the King of Han who was surrounded by countless compliments." Guan Ying suddenly felt lonely. Not only Liu Bang, but many people in the Han army, including old people like Lu Wan and Li Shiqi, also began to destroy each other in order to fight for power and profit.

Some people were satisfied with just occupying two remote counties in Bashu and Hanzhong. These people surrounded Liu Bang all day long. They blocked the Han King's vision, blocked the Han King's eyes, and also suppressed the knowledgeable talents, and could not show them to be reused.

"Fortunately, Zhang Xiang and Xiao Xiang are still there, which has made the King of Han cheer up again. This northern expedition of the Han army must not be like last time." Guan Ying made up his mind secretly.—.

Guan Ying couldn't stand Zhou Ying. Similarly, Zhou Ying, who was a close servant in front of Liu Bang, looked down on reckless men like Guan Ying who only knew how to fight.

This time, they went to the Qin Dynasty, Guan Ying and Zhou Qi each led an army. Guan Ying was nominally the vanguard and Zhou Qi was the auxiliary deputy general. In fact, in the Han army, they represented the power of the two major factions.

Behind Guan Ying are Li Shang and Wang Ling, a large number of generals who joined after Liu Bang's Western Expedition, while Zhou Chang represents those old men Pei Gong who followed Liu Bang from the beginning. Of course, outside these two factions, the old friends of Liu Bang such as Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, etc., are competing at a higher level.

Wei River, southwest.

Zhou Jun’s garrison.

Piles of grain and fodder were piled up in the center of the station, just like they were piled up in a warehouse, neatly stacked in one place. This was the standard required by Zhou Chang. This standard once made Zhou Chang, who was still the commander of Lantian Pass at that time, praised by King Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others.

No matter when, even when fighting in the field, strict standards must be followed. This is Zhou Chang's creed. Only by following the standards can you do it. No matter when the boss comes to check, Zhou Chang can be calm.

In the central army's tent.

Zhou, who was nearly 40 years old, was lying on the table, writing about the records of events since the marching and fighting word by word. This was his habit for many years, and it was precisely because of this diligence that he gained the trust of King Liu Bang of Han. There were more than 20 close servants in front of Liu Bang. If he wanted to stand out, there must be something that made people shine.

Zhou Chang's diligence and loyalty, as well as his greatest help in winning Liu Bang's trust, in the months when Liu Bang retreated to Hanzhong, facing Long Ji and Zhang Han and other Chu generals, Zhou Chang, as the commander of Lantian Pass, performed quite well in the execution of Zhang Liang's plan to hide the world.

While Guan Ying was still thinking about how to defeat the Qin army opposite, Zhou Chang was reporting to Liu Bang about the recent situation of the army. As for the order to move closer by Guan Ying's life scout, it was abandoned by Zhou Chang. Guan Ying was just a rank captain. If it were a more powerful general, Zhou Chang might have sold his face.

Compared with the two, Guan Ying's understanding is much worse than Zhou Ying. This is why although Guan Ying took the enemy generals first and killed them many times, she could only be a vanguard of the trap, rather than a general who stood alone.

At this time, Guan Ying and Zhou Ying were not yet aware that in the Wugong Mountain area not far from him, Han Xin was leading a light army to the junction of Guan Ying and Zhou Ying’s army.

——.

Wugong Mountain.

This mountain located in Wugong County has a very domineering name, with undulating mountains and undulating weeds, which is suitable for a small number of light troops to hide.

In addition, this place is not too far from Chidao and Wei River. For light troops who are determined to cut off the bloodline of the Han army, this is the best place to ambush.

Of course, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

Wugong Mountain is only more than forty miles away from Xiaohua Mountain, the garrison of King Zhanghan of Yong. If you follow the road, it will take only two hours before Zhang Han's army will arrive at the battlefield. Once it is attacked, Han Xin's light army of more than a thousand people will be in danger of being destroyed.

"Reported to the lieutenant, the 3,000 troops of the Zhou army, the Han army, camped in the southwest of the Wei River with food, fodder and supplies. Guanying's army was close to the border of Fufeng, and the two armies were more than twenty miles apart. If Guanying got the news to help, it would only take an hour and a half to march." Zheng Da, who was appointed as the general of the scouts, had a serious look on his face. In his opinion, Han Xin was a madman, and they were being led to the dangerous path of death by a madman.

"Is it an hour and a half? Time is enough, Zheng Da, you want freedom, right? If you can kill the Han general Zhou Qi, I will report to the general and let your brothers go back to Guandong." Han Xin glanced at Zheng Da, who had an extremely serious expression, smiled faintly, and said.

"The surname of Han, you don't have to provoke me, Lao Zheng, if you want me to fight to the death, just say it. As for the lives of my two brothers, you will be killed and cut off when I die. You will be able to deal with it." Zheng Da snorted coldly, revealing Han Xin's intention in one sentence.

"Haha, since General Zhengtun understands, then, three hours of sunset, your troops will be the vanguard, enter the Han camp, burn food and fodder, and kill the enemy generals, how about?" Han Xin shouted in a deep voice.

"No! If I, Lao Zheng, can't die, I will come back to settle the score with your Han surname." Zheng Da knelt on one knee, took the order, and turned around and left.

Han Xin looked at Zheng Da's lonely back and felt a little touched in his heart. If Zheng Da hadn't been a man, this aggressive trick would have been aborted. In terms of marching and fighting, Han Xin was a top-notch expert. In this era, few people could compare with him, but in terms of trying to make people's hearts happy, Han Xin could only pass the exam at best.
