Chapter 80 Peerless Double Pride

Zhou Bo's army returned to the broken camp and felt that it was a lucky escape from death. If Wang Ben had not arrived in time, the Qin army under his command would have been wiped out. Even the bones were left. Han Xin was indeed very powerful. In this battle, neither the Qin army nor the Yan army had taken much advantage, and it was a situation where both sides suffered losses.

After the war, the Qin army was busy cleaning the battlefield and dealing with the messy battlefield, transporting corpses, digging trenches again, resting in the village, burying pots and making rice, and building arrow towers. They were very busy. The enemy's corpses were concentrated in one place and burned them all, while the injured turned into prisoners and took care of them. The corpses of their own people were dug up in a large pit to bury them together.

Zhou Bo came to Wang Ben's tent to thank him. Luo Shen, Zhao Ba and others were also there.

"If it weren't for the general today, Zhou Bo's life would have been explained. Zhou Bo thanked the general for helping him." Zhou Bo knelt on one knee.

Wang Ben was ashamed and hurriedly helped Zhou Bo up; "General Zhou doesn't have to do this. But I feel sorry for all the soldiers who died. This time I was surrounded was caused by my improper command. Unexpectedly, Han Xin really set a trap!"

Zhou Bo knew that Wang Ben could not blame him for this matter. He was forced by the generals to make contributions and said loudly. "Han Xin did not take any advantage. The general was not trapped and even caused a counter-encirclement to the Yan army. This move was beyond his expectations."

Zhao Ba and others were also wondering: "By the way, General, why did you suddenly change your mind halfway through the march?!"

Zhou Bo said, "I can't figure it out either. The general must have seen some flaws!" Wang Ben turned around and came out of the tent door. From the door of the tall curtain, the soldiers were about to repair the camp. He took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with a sharp light like an eagle.

"That's just a kind of keenness as a professional soldier. When the general passed by the outside of the valley, he suddenly felt a sharp murderous aura. The terrain was too complicated, and I think Han Xin would not use it without taking advantage of it. To put it bluntly, it was intuition that saved us."

Wang Ben changed his tone: "However, this Han Xin is really not simple. His keenness is beyond my imagination. This person found that I was not fooled, and did not send reinforcements to the canyon, but decisively sent troops to attack our army's big village. This requires courage and confidence, which is amazing. Can this person persuade him to surrender?"

Zhou Bo said, "The general should not think about the matter of persuading surrender. This is impossible. Han Xin has now controlled more than half of the generals of Pei Gong back then. He wanted to be king from the south."

Wang Ben thought to himself that the king now has depreciated, and he can be crowned with a head. The cowards who have a crotch all have such ideals, and it is really a declining world.

"Then forget it, order the soldiers to build a camp as soon as possible, and then assign people to defend closely, and be careful that the Yan army will come to rob the camp again."

Zhao Ba waved his arm and shouted, "I'm afraid of fighting, but I dare to come, aren't you afraid of death?" Luo Shen said, "General, what will we do next?" Wang Ben said in a deep voice. "Han Xin will definitely close the main road and the valley entrance to stop us from entering. This general is not sure of winning for a while, so I'd better wait and see what happens first."

Zhou Bo said; "The general's meaning is to fight a protracted war?" Wang Ben said; "The strategy formulated by the king is to annex the Three Jins first. I originally thought that if I could, I would take down Yan State in one fell swoop, but Han Xin was not easy to deal with. The king now moved to South Korea. We should not continue to go deeper, and we will fight a protracted war with Han Xin first."

Luo Shen said; "The army stationed under a strong city is a taboo for military strategists. First of all, food and grass are a problem--" Wang Ben said; "This is the intention of this general to let you clear all your worries along the way. Even if we can't conquer Jicheng, we can still transport food from Qin through Jinyang. Luo Shen, you are a native of Qin, and the burden of transporting food will be handed over to you."

Zhou Bo thought to himself, why doesn’t this sound like Wang Ben’s tone? Based on past experience, Wang Ben is best at fighting blitzkriegs, but now he wants to fight Tai Chi with Han Xin. I wonder what he sells in the gourd?

Wang Zhu's army left Wuguan and easily captured Yejun. Wancheng is a strategic location at the junction of Chu and Han and Wei. In one sense, it is the gateway of Wuguan. The prefect of Wancheng, Lu Qi, was originally the prefect of the Qin Dynasty, and later surrendered to Liu Bang, and later surrendered to Xiang Yu. It was just such a thing! Wang Zhu thought that as long as he coughed a few times, Lu Qi would surrender, but unexpectedly, Lu Qi's backbone suddenly became hard, and he resisted resolutely. Wang Zhu suspected that he had taken some calcium tablets with significant efficacy recently! He was so angry that he stomped his feet and threw things.

"Dog guy, he surrenders whenever he comes, why don't he surrender!"

Li Zuoche said seriously, "I understand this, I understand this question." Wang Zhu rolled his eyelids: "Do you understand? Well, let's talk about it. Lu Qi, after taking the courage of his ambition, he did not surrender."

Li Zuoche said firmly, "I'm sorry!" Wang Zhu shouted at the top of his throat, "I don't know, what are you doing when you stand up? You've eaten too much, right?" Li Zuoche quickly nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what I mean is that Lu Qi is embarrassed to surrender again. It should be noted that people have faces and trees and barks, and he is also afraid that they will stab their backbone."

Wang Zhu was funny; "This kind of bastard is shameless!" He added in his heart, is Lu Qi's self-esteem quite strong? Li Zuoche said deeply; "No one is shameless!"

Wang Zhu looked at Li Zuoche with his upper body straight as a slut and said blankly, "Mr. Li, what's wrong with you today? Is your smile unfathomable?"

What to install?

Li Zuoche narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and slowly said like the sermon of the Supreme Lord; "I have a plan to defeat Lu Qi."

So that's what happened, no wonder it's so proud! It turns out that he's holding back his treasures!

"That's great, sir!"

Li Zuoche coughed twice, "Lu Qi is a timid person. The king is coming. It's not that he is not afraid, but he is lucky and hopes that Xiang Yu can come to rescue in time. Don't you know that Xiang Yu's eyes are staring straight at Chenggao and Xingyang at this moment, and you would never have thought that you would suddenly lead your army to appear in Wancheng. The king took advantage of the night to find a secluded path and surrounded the city with the advantage of 100,000 troops. Lu Qi must have been scared and must open the city and surrender."

Wang Zhu said with his eyes slanted, "It's easy to say, there's a small path!" Li Zuoche Lane; "The king said that Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi will be clear when they ask!"

"Lu Ze, Lü Shizhi!" Wang Zhu felt a headache when he thought of these two live treasures. He was simply the two elders of Huashan in the Qin and Han dynasties. He was lustful and ugly. Whenever the Qin army invaded a city these days, their brothers would rush into the homes of wealthy business officials in the city to rape them. Wang Zhu had been warned several times.

"King, King! What are the instructions to find our brothers!" Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi spoke in a rough voice, shaking their arms and broke in from outside the tent: "Are you going to let us be pioneers!"

Wang Zhu smiled bitterly in his heart and rolled his eyes. When I plan to escape that day, I will let you two grandsons be pioneers, and they will definitely run faster than rabbits.

"Lu Ze, Lü Shizhi, I heard you know there is a small path that leads to the city of Wancheng, right?" Wang Zhu's face was tightly stretched and her color was blue.

Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi have been rampant these days and have been scolded by Wang Zhu. They don’t feel uncomfortable. They rely on Lu Zhi being favored in front of Wang Zhu, and they still speak presumptuously. Lu Ze said carelessly, "Yes, there is indeed a small path. In the past, my brother-in-law Liu Ji - no, the traitor Liu Ji went over the small path and unexpectedly took Wancheng!"

Wang Zhu looked at Li Zuoche and frowned, "It turns out that it was used by Liu Ji, so I can't use it anymore, Lu Qi will definitely be on guard."

Li Zuoche shook his head secretly and said to himself, "Big King, you have used less things that Liu Ji has used? Why are you so hypocritical!"

Wang Zhu probably realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words. "Lu Qi can't be fooled twice." Li Zuoche smiled. "The king is bad, and I think that Lu Qi will definitely not set up defenses on the small road." Wang Zhu said. "Unless he is an idiot." Li Zuoche Lane. "Lu Qi is not an idiot, he is just too brave. Think about it, how could such a timid and afraid person dare to draw 5,000 people from the pitiful 15,000 city defense forces to set up checkpoints along the road? That would be equivalent to dispersing his strength."

Wang Zhu raised a thumbs up; "Incisive, let's do it, Lv Ze, Lv Shizhi, aren't you yelling to be a pioneer? I gave you 30,000 troops, and you two set up more flags, cut into Wancheng from a small path, and surrounded the four gates. I and the generals, and then arrived."

When Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi heard Wang Zhu ask them to fight the tough battle, they immediately became soft. Lu Ze pale and coughed, "I'm right, my throat hurts these days, maybe it's because of wind and cold-cough-cough--" Lu Shizhi was anxious and thought to himself, isn't this putting the burden on my shoulders alone? There is no door, can I take this number and lose money?!

"King, I am not accustomed to the local conditions recently and have dysentery. I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. In fact, a medium-sized city like Wancheng didn't have to take action, and I sent a few characters like Wang Ling and Fan Kuai to deal with it. When we recover from the disease, it's not too late to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"

Wang Zhu really wanted to go up and beat these two things that were dependent on their power, but when I think about it, why is it because of my brother-in-law and brother-in-law, let it go, the girl can't sleep with us in vain.

Li Zuoche rushed to say, "I heard that there are only 10,000 people in the city. Fan Kuai will definitely make great contributions when he goes. I will inform him to come."

"Slow down!" Lv Ze stepped forward to block Li Zuoche and said sternly; "Mr. Li may not be too arrogant. If we two generals in the tent, we still need to find something Fan Kuai--" Lv Ze turned around and said to Wang Zhu; "Master, please go to attack the city, please be sure."

Wang Zhu coughed twice, "Oh, didn't you say you were sick? This is probably not good!" Lu Ze said bravely. "What are you saying, "Your Majesty? We are ready to die on the battlefield at any time and sacrifice our lives for the country. Even if we only have one breath, we will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

Lu Shizhi said with a righteous spirit, "That's right, my elder brother is right. I am willing to lead troops to fight and I will definitely kill Lu Qi's head and offer it to my command."

Wang Zhu was moved, and walked over to hold the hands of the two generals and said tremblingly, "Since that's the case, I will rely on the power of the two generals tonight's actions."

Lv Ze and Lv Shizhi said in an impulse tone that swept across the army; "Don't worry, as long as we brothers are here, the Qin Dynasty will be invincible for generations."

Wang Zhu's forehead was sweating. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such shameless people. Wang Zhu couldn't help but recite two famous lines: "I don't see the ancients in front of me, and I don't see the comers behind me!"

Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi hurriedly bent down and said happily, "Thank you for your praise," Wang Zhu hurriedly helped him up: "No need to be polite, in fact, this is not a praise. The two generals really deserve it." Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi thought Wang Zhu praised them for their bravery and loyalty. Little did he know that Wang Zhu was praising their thick skin.

The moment Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi walked out of the camp, Li Zuoche stood there a little dizzy, his appetite contracted and uncomfortable, and it was a feeling of about to vomit. "Mrs. Lu's two brothers are really powerful generals in all directions!"

Wang Zhu sneered, "Yes, there are powerful generals on the woman's belly!" Li Zuoche said worriedly, "These two generals usually lead people to scout their houses and kill dogs. It may not be effective when fighting a war. Isn't the king afraid of missing out on major issues?" Wang Zhu smiled, "Tell Lu Jia and Xiahou Ying that each commander 10,000 troops will follow the reinforcements, and there must be no mistakes. The remaining troops will set out one after another, and before dawn, they will form an encirclement of the four gates of Wancheng."

The next day at dawn, Lu Qi got up early in the morning, and several personal soldiers shouted in panic outside the door: "Sir-No, the Qin army has surrounded the city!" Lu Qi jumped out of the bed and asked hurriedly, "How many people?" The Qin soldiers said in a horrified tone; "There are almost 200,000 to 300,000 people, flags everywhere, and black heads everywhere!" Lu Qi almost sat on the ground and said in a speechless voice; "So many people!" In fact, there were not so many at all, just a little more flags.

Lu Qi climbed up the city wall with a fat body and clumsyly. When he looked down, his expression was extremely dull. The fat snake head rolled up. The sound from his thick throat was almost like a roar: "So many people--" I saw that the Qin army's military flags were everywhere outside the city. Looking fiercely, the black heads surrounded the city for more than five turns. The overwhelming crowd, clusters of swords and spears, and the neatly moving square formations made everyone on the city lose their blood color!

How can I fight this battle? How dare I fight?
