July fire.

The ghost fires in the wilderness at night were green, some were the eyes of wild dogs and jackals, some were the light of small insects gathered, and the whine of wild dogs came from time to time. These guys who liked to eat corpses were finally no longer lucky. The Chu army scout, who had nowhere to vent his anger, raised his swords and guns, and chased the dogs that were fleeing with their tails.

In the marching pot, a rich meal of dog meat is the best nourishing food for soldiers sleeping in the wild.

The Chu army's central tent was lit all night. Since Fan Zeng entered Xiang Yu's tent, he did not come out again. Even the food was sent in by the ministers of the neighborhood. A few pieces of roasted roasted wild dog meat were placed on copper vessels, emitting an attractive fragrance.

"Father Ya, this dog meat is good, let's have a bite?" Xiang Yu, who was in a good mood, bowed to Fan Zeng, who was in the upper hand and said.

Victory and defeat are common in military affairs.

Today, Li Yuan was beaten up for a while, which really made Xiang Yu, who was used to victory, very embarrassed. However, this blow could not shake Xiang Yu's determination to capture Hulao Pass.

Taking down Hulao Pass and shocking the princes who were ready to move was Xiang Yu's ultimate goal. After Tian Rong's chicken had no effect, Xiang Yu pointed his finger at the rapidly developing Li Yuan's forces.

"Old king, I am vegetarian and don't eat meat-!" Fan Zeng looked at the fat dog meat in the vessel and felt disgusted. What does this wild dog eat? It's not the corpses of those dead people.

People fight with people, and then dogs eat human corpses, and people eat dogs, which cycles back and forth.

It's a strange and cruel chaotic world.

"The overlord, in fact, wants to capture Hulao Pass. In addition to strong attacks, there is another way. Henan has many wars and people fled into the mountains to hide. If one or two ways can be found, our Great Chu army can reappear the victory of attacking Hangu Pass that day."

At the moment when Xiang Yu was so happy with Duojie, the dedicated Fan Zeng frowned. After thinking about it, he finally had an idea. In fact, it was not his idea. When he marched into Guanzhong, the Chu army's envoy to break through Hangu Pass was the method that Fan Zeng said. This time it was just a re-using plan.

"What Yafu said is very consistent with his own will. Tomorrow morning, Ji sent his generals into the mountain to find a way to find a way--!" Xiang Yu said.

"Overlord, this matter is of great importance. We need to prevent the news from being leaked and let the Qin people be wary of it. Therefore, in terms of candidates, we need to be bold and refined, loyal and reliable generals." Fan Zeng solemnly instructed.

"I have my own opinions on the matter of choosing a person. Please rest assured, it's too late, so it's better to rest earlier." Xiang Yu nodded and replied a little unhappily.

When people get old, they always talk a lot unconsciously, and the same goes for Fan Zeng. Originally, he had to give up in the face of Xiang Yu's polite reversal of his thoughts.

——.

The second day.

The Chu army camp was silent, and the war drums seemed to be dormant, and they could not make any noise. Even the Chu soldiers, who were arrogant yesterday, ran to hide today.

Xiang Yu did not go to the battle. I don’t know if he was humiliated yesterday and didn’t recover, or if he was thinking about other ways to win a day of rest. It is extremely valuable for the Qin army with insufficient troops. As for going out of seclusion to compete with the Chu army again, only those with a brain disease would do this.

The Chu army stopped fighting.

After receiving the news that the Chu army did not act abnormally, a faint sense of frustration flashed through Li Yuan's heart. Any celebrity in history who is not a wise man? Xiang Yu could become the leader of the princes. In addition to his bravery, his mind should not be too bad. Besides, there was also a veteran Fan Zeng who became a spirit to assist him.

What actions will the Chu army take next?

This is what Li Yuan is most concerned about now.

The enemy attacks and defends us.

This passive fighting style is actually extremely energy-consuming. In the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, the veteran Zhao State general Lian Po responded to all changes without changing and could not defend himself. Behind the seemingly simple, it actually contained the wisdom accumulated by this veteran general over the years of the battlefield. Otherwise, after the Zhao army replaced the main general, even if Zhao Kuo made a mistake in making a decision, he would not be wiped out by the Qin army in a short time.

Council Room.

The Qin army and the guards of passers-by, and the doctors gathered in front of the sand table. They are now becoming more and more accustomed to this kind of way of standing in front of a reduced-level mountain and river terrain. They are scrambling to come up with their own ideas. No matter who they are, even the lowest-level doctors have the power to express their opinions.

Through repeated battlefield analysis, the understanding ability of the young Qin army generals and schoolmen is improving step by step. They may still be able to serve as a captain and military marquis, and can only become executors of a certain task. In the future, after their abilities are improved, the joining of this group of generals and schoolmen will greatly alleviate the lack of intermediate officers of the Qin army.

"Everyone, the Chu army was defeated in the first battle, and today they avoided the battle and did not attack. It is very likely that they would find another path to attack our pass. Therefore, for a complete plan, our army should use a team as a group to patrol and defend along the entire pass. If this is the case, it is impossible to defend the enemy." Jiang Yu's voice was clear, and this tactical analysis course was his strength.

"But if the troops are distributed and defenses are distributed, if the Chu army attacks the gates and our army is insufficient, we may not be able to respond. Moreover, the deployment of defense everywhere is a passive defense after all, and we can only be passively beaten. If there is no other means of countermeasure against the Chu army, this pass will not be easy to defend." The supplementary opinion was Zhang Ping, the newly promoted doctor under Li Yuan.

Zhang Ping is Zhang Han's younger brother. He was in his prime. After Zhang Han retired, he officially joined Li Yuan. Because he had little experience and had little credit, Zhang Ping can only be a doctor who has a dismissed position and then rewarded him after he made achievements. Seeing that the Qin generals younger than him were able to lead troops to fight, Zhang Ping felt itchy, but he could not overcome the Qin army's military rules.

"If the Chu army attacked from the trail, there would be no too many troops. Similarly, our army does not need so many soldiers patrolling the defense. As for the method of early warning, it is enough to use beacon as a call." Li Yuan nodded to Jiang Yu and Zhang Ping in agreement. Their opinions were of great help to broaden their thinking.

"Marquis Li, if the Chu army fails to attack, they will definitely be angry. At that time, we will forcefully attack the pass, and we need to prepare for the arrows of rolling wood, rocks and rocks." Wang Shang saw that Jiang and Zhang and the others were snatched first, and thought about it and advised him.

Fame and achievements are achieved through every battle.

Wang Shang, who had the achievements of killing Fan Kuai and defeating the enemy's army, was no longer a mediocre person like the original history, and his name was mentioned more and more.

Just as Liu Bang was able to lead a group of old brothers from Pei County to be appointed as marquis, Li Yuan's side, Wang Shang, Jiang Yu, Cao Xin and others were also constantly improving themselves in the war.

One day, their names will eventually be remembered in history.

"Well, I will ask the three generals for defense. Hulao Pass is the gateway to Henan. Our army is standing here to show the determination of our Great Qin to restore the country to the princes in the world and to strengthen the spirit of our Great Qin soldiers. I hope that you will work together to fight back the invading enemies." Li Yuan looked at the generals who spoke with satisfaction and encouraged loudly.

"Meng Captain Meng, your border cavalry is a cavalry unit, and it has little effect on fighting in the mountains. I want to transfer your troops to the general reserve unit. If there is a tight war on any side, the border army will need timely rescue."

"Okay. Please don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely live up to my entrustedness." Meng Hu nodded and agreed. Meng Hu's current favorable feelings for Li Yuan's team are almost the same as those of the border army. If it weren't for the family, he would have wished to turn to Li Yuan's jurisdiction immediately.

The general orders dispersed one by one, and everyone understood that this was a critical battle that concerns whether Qin could revive. Every Qin man must be energetic and do his best to laugh to the end in the competition of huge power disparity.

After all this was deployed, Li Yuan felt a heavy responsibility in his heart. Everything he could do at Hulao Pass has been arranged. The subsequent changes in the battle situation depend on whether Han Xin's partial army in Hebei and Zhao Ping, who lobbyed Ying Bu, could complete the task. As long as one of the two is made, the current crisis of the Qin army can be broken.

After all, the rear of the Chu army that attacked with all their might is unstable. Xiang Yu's tactic of attacking with all their might requires great risks. Once Pengcheng is in trouble, the entire Chu army will be in a state of turmoil. At that time, even if Xiang Yu personally has the will to fight, he will not be able to control a unit with a disintegrated morale.

——.

It is connected to Songyue in the south, to the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains and rivers are intertwined.

Since ancient times, Hulao Pass, a place that must be fought for by military strategists, does not only refer to one pass, but is a collective name for mountains and ridges. However, due to the strange and dangerous mountain dodges, there is only one pass that can truly pass through cars and horses. Most of the other trails are hunters, and mountain people step out on their own. As for where each trail can lead, few people know this.

Ji Xin was confused.

He advocated the confrontation between the two armies and fought with one sword and one shot. He was chosen by Xiang Yu and became the leader of the Chu army scout unit. This tactic of drilling into mountains and sneak attacks made Ji Xin feel shameful.

"This must be Fan Zeng's old idea. If this mountain road is easy to walk, why would Fan Zeng not come to take a walk in person?" Ji Xin followed the mountain people who led the way and complained in his heart.

Speaking of strategy, no one in the Chu army has talent, like Han Xin in the past, and like Lu Chen and Shusun Tong, they were all heroes at the moment. Unfortunately, under the suppression of Fan Zeng, these people were either unreferred or turned to other places. Even his elder brother Ji Bu and Chu army general Zhong Limei were mostly excluded by Fan Zeng.

It is true that Fan Zeng is Xiang Yu's father, but he is not the father of the Chu army. He is not open-minded enough and always acts like a wise man. Ji Xin, who is straightforward, is disliked by a hundred people.
