Wugong Mountain, Xiaohua Mountain.

These two mountains are far away, like a pair of twin brothers. The Han army's siege and hunting operations in the Wugong Mountain area not only made Han Xin feel pressured, but even the Yong Wang Zhanghan who was stationed in Xiaohua Mountain was also very uneasy.

Military Conference Hall.

King Yong Zhanghan was talking to Zhang Ping, the only deputy general who was still following under the tent. His back was slightly hunched. This was the sequelae left by many years of inspection of maps. His hair was much whiter than a year ago, and he no longer had the previous high spirit.

Zhang Ping had just returned from Feng Ling and didn't even care about washing up, so he hurried to report to Zhang Han. Zhang Han, whose hometown is in Youfengyi, is a prosperous place in Guanzhong. This is the second time Zhang Ping has been recruiting troops to Feng Ling. The first time was when Zhang Han was appointed King Yong. At that time, Feng Ling's elders contributed 7,000 generals to Zhang Han, which accounted for almost half of Zhang Han's army.

"Brother Ping, how about recruiting soldiers?" Zhang Han asked anxiously.

"Brother, this time, hey, I'm incompetent—!" Zhang Ping looked angry and slapped his thighs and sighed. This time, Feng Ling's treatment was completely different from the last time. Last time, Feng Ling's veteran Zhang Ping used it as a support for the future and almost responded to every request. This time, Zhang Ping encountered a lot of sarcasm.

"What did the elders in the clan say?" Zhang Han's face was a little unfair, but he still had a hint of hope. He didn't understand other clans, so the Zhang clan was still sure.

"Brother, the elders of the clan said that a good man would not be a lackey of Chu people." Zhang Ping whispered, with a look of shame and anger on his face.

running dog!

This infamy made the Zhang brothers bow their heads and speechless for a long time. Over the past year, too many cold words have come, which makes Zhang Han, who once glorified and stood at the top of the power level of the Qin Dynasty, feel sorry for his feelings.

No new recruits had blood transfusions.

Zhang Han no longer had the confidence to fight against Liu Bang and Li Yuan.

Liu Bang was from Chu, and soldiers could be recruited from Guandong, while Zhang Han was from Qin. If he wanted to recruit soldiers in Guandong, no one could come to surrender. In Guanzhong, the Qin people regarded him as a lackey who betrayed Qin. In such a dilemma, Zhang Han was actually at a desperate situation.

"Reporting to King Yong, there is a person outside who sent a famous assassin for his visit!" Just as Zhang Han and Zhang Ping was silent, a personal soldier came in with a thin book of silk.

Zhang Han took the silk book and opened it to look, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhang Ping, hurry up and lead the people outside to the rear camp. I will arrive immediately. Remember, don't let the Han envoy discover it."

Zhang Ping was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother, who is here to meet?"

Zhang Han lowered his voice anxiously, looked at both left and right and left and said, "It's from the west!"

"It's Li--!" Zhang Ping suddenly widened his eyes and hurriedly led a group of close confidants to make arrangements.

On the name, the two words "Chen Ping" are clearly written.

Who is Chen Ping?

Zhang Han naturally knew it clearly. He never expected that this number-one strategist under Li Yuan would come to him at such a special time.

Before the fall of Qin State, Zhang Han belonged to Zhao Gao's faction, while Li Yuan was basically a self-contained line and used the slogan of "clearing the monarch" to capture all the forces of Zhao Gao. At that time, Zhang Han once accepted Zhao Gao's secret order and sent troops to try to return to Xianyang from the northern line. However, because of the obstruction of Li Yuan's cavalry, he was unable to support Zhao Gao.

According to this relationship analysis, it can be said that the hatred between Li Yuan and Zhang Han is difficult to resolve, and there is no possibility of cooperation or reconciliation. There has always been no direct connection between them. This time, the sudden visit of a heavyweight like Chen Ping caught Zhang Han off guard.

What is Li Yuan going to do?

What kind of news will Chen Ping bring when he visits?

For a moment, Zhang Han felt that his mind was like a turbulent sea, and he could not calm down for a long time. He had to let Zhang Ping come forward and calm Chen Ping first.

Back camp.

Zhang Han's confidant generals and soldiers had already guarded the place tightly. All of these generals and soldiers came from the Qin people in Guanzhong. As for the Chu soldiers who caused trouble to Zhang Han, they were placed in a military camp at the foot of the mountain. Without the mobilization of the tiger talisman, these Chu soldiers could not step into Zhang Han's central army.

In the tent, Chen Ping was wearing a blue shirt, tied with a bun, and a little tired on his face. He was just casually speaking, accompanied by Zhang Ping, and said some polite words that were inconscientious.

"Shi Shi Chen, please forgive me. King Yong is changing his clothes and needs to wait a while." Zhang Ping, after Zhang Han's instructions, put his airs on his airs first.

King Yong.

This is one of the seventeen princes and kings in the world.

In comparison, Li Yuan was just a county magistrate and a miscellaneous armed force from a remote small county. Whether in terms of fame or official position, he was too far from Zhang Han.

"General Zhang is in good health recently, but he is worried about recruiting troops?" Chen Ping smiled and said lightly. Zhang Han's every move in Guanzhong was under the surveillance of the scout under Chen Pingbu. Among Zhang Ping's encounter with Feng Ling, Chen Ping made a contribution to Chen Ping's spread of news.

"Our army is very good and has enough food, so I don't have to worry about it." Zhang Ping was exposed by Chen Ping, and his face suddenly looked extremely ugly.

"Soldiers, indeed, Ping just looked at the arrangements in the lower camp. The number of your soldiers was about 10,000, and I don't know how accurate it was to guess. As for the food, the lieutenant general looked dull and stood powerless. I wonder if it was because of hunger?" Chen Ping laughed and mercilessly nailed Zhang Ping's panic to the flagpole.

"Sir, are you here to humiliate me?" Zhang Han, who was hesitant after the tent, could no longer hold back and lifted the tent and left.

"No, Ping came here to relieve General's worries and save General's life." Chen Ping's face was filled with ancient wells, and he had already thought about Zhang Han's listening behind him.

"Want to listen to it in detail?" Zhang Han's face changed, his heart twitched for several times, and finally asked. He once claimed to be unparalleled in wisdom, but once proud and arrogant. Now, it is all a dream and a waste.

Zhang Han, who commanded as many as 400,000 troops, now has less than 10,000 troops under his command. A while ago, he followed Long and failed to fight Li Yuan. When he returned, he was intercepted by Luo Jia in the middle of the journey. Although Zhang Han was not like Long and was wiped out like Dong Yi, his strength was also greatly reduced. This is one of the reasons why he chose to retreat after learning that Liu Bang entered Hanzhong.

Strength is the only criterion for measuring strength and weakness among the princes. In comparison, fame is only an auxiliary option. Just being famous but not having strength is like a tree without roots and water without source.

"Since the general is a Qin man, he should serve the interests of the Qin man. Why are he obsessed with it now and serves the enemy instead? This is the way to die. Is the general really unaware or pretending to be ignorant?" Chen Ping asked in a deep voice.
