Zheng Chang in Yangdi City felt like a sharp sword was hanging above his head, which could be chopped down at any time. He was thinking about Xiang Yu's reinforcements! Xiang Yu was actually quite pitiful. He was the only one who could protect the world! The problem was that he couldn't cover it now.

In this era, there is not much blessing to enjoy the kings in exile like Zheng Chang. South Korea is already empty, with gold, silver, treasures and a little over eight years old and under 80 years old all been plundered by warlords who are traveling around. Even the most basic rich clothes and food, Zheng Chang could not do it. It is not as easy as when he was under Xiang Yu. Despite this, the scene of someone kneeling down the mountain to call the king every day is still desirable, and he does not want to lose this title.

The capital of South Korea, Yangdi, only 30,000 people, and most of them were temporarily recruited. These people had never been on the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness could be imagined. When they first entered the city, Zheng Chang asked Zhao Li to bring 10,000 Chu troops to a "population census" for the entire South Korea. It is said that the data reported at that time once caused Zheng Chang to fall into despair, and shed tears in her tears. Zhao Li reported this way; "King, the entire Korean land now has a total population of 150,000, all of them are old, weak, women and children. Young and middle-aged people have either been pulled by the princes or have fled to the deep mountains and forests. The remaining thousands have been brought closer to the team by the last generals."

Zheng Chang said miserably, "It's not as large as Wu County, a county has a large population. Damn it, it's so unlucky."

"At this time, let me go there to attract the men!" Zheng Chang was paced back and forth in the main hall of the palace, like a rat running in panic.

"Your Majesty, there is a man who claims to be Han* who is fighting outside the city and threatens to fight to the decisive battle!" A personal soldier reported through the pearl curtain.

Zheng Chang cursed in a furious manner, "What King Han? You are stupid. I am the King Han. What is Han Xin? I will meet him when I go out."

Zheng Chang ran up to the city in a furious manner, and Zhao Li came up from the opposite side: "King, Han Xin is here to fight in person, and I will call you out of the city!"

Zheng Chang leaned out from the chassis and saw Han Xin wearing armor, attracting more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and shouting outside the city: "Zheng Chang, if you don't dare to come out, hand over the city as soon as possible to surrender. I am the Miao descendant of South Korea. What are you doing? Get out."

When Zheng Chang saw that Han * was fleshless, thin, and his armor was a little loose, which was much worse than his burly. He couldn't help but feel happy. He dared to challenge me like this poorness. Zheng Chang himself was also a civil servant, but most of the civil servants of that era would have a few tricks. Zhang Liang was a master of swordsmanship.

Zheng Chang ran down the city tower, lit up five thousand elite soldiers, and rushed out with a cannon.

Han * was waiting anxiously, when the city gate suddenly opened wide and an elderly general in a red robe rushed out. Based on the impression described by an insider, Han * was sure that this person was the fake King of Han Zheng Chang.

Zheng Chang rushed closer and arranged a formation with Han* ten feet apart! The two were not in a hurry to fight, so let’s discuss who is orthodox first!

Han* said angrily, "Zheng Chang, what kind of king of Han are you? You are not Han, let alone Han's descendants!" Zheng Chang said, "I am a Chu country, not a dignitary to South Korea. Who said that only the descendants of South Korea can be the King of Han? South Korea has long been eliminated by the tyrant Qin. If the King of Western Chu restored South Korea, it has the right to re-appoint the King of Han. What do you think you dare to intervene?" Han* said angrily, "Xiang Yu is the King of Western Chu, and I am the King of Han. We are on an equal footing. Moreover, he killed the former King of Han, Han Cheng, and he has no right to enthrone you at all. Get out of here."

Zheng Chang was too lazy to mess with him and sneered, "Those are nonsense. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. You and I will fight to the decisive battle under the city today. Whoever wins will win will be the King of Han." Han*, who was still arrogant just now, dared not respond. In fact, he didn't really come out to fight alone. He came out to lure the enemy. This is Wang Ao's plan.

Han* suddenly laughed, "The dog thief has been trapped!"

Zheng Chang was so stupid that he didn't hear it clearly: "What did you say?!"

The war drums suddenly sounded behind Han *, and the elite Qin cavalry in a neat array rushed out like a whirlwind, passing through the ten-foot open space on both sides, and pounced on the Han army. Zheng Chang was so panicked that why did he change to a group fight before he even fought one-on-one? Zheng Chang's cavalry was not blind. He saw the cavalry on the opposite side rushing over like a madman, urging the war horses to rush out like a conditioned reflex. However, the Qin army had lost the initiative, and had already designed a trap to wait for them to get in. As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Korean army was defeated like a reclamation. The combat power of this team was really weak.

Fan Kuai, Sima Xin, Wang Ling, Zhang Han, Zhang Yi and other Qin generals were all dressed up as ordinary Qin soldiers hid in the battle formation. As soon as the battle started, these generals stood out and rushed forward. Zheng Chang had never experienced such tragic cavalry fighting in his life. He suddenly broke his courage and turned his horse's head and wanted to escape. Fan Kuai and Sima Xin, who had already been rushed over, blocked the way. Fan Kuai stared at the bronze bell's eyes and rushed over like a beast. With one move, the big knife in Zheng Chang's hand, which was trembling all over, ran away. Zhang Han took the opportunity to hit Zheng Chang's neck with the handle of the knife, and Zheng Chang fainted. Before he fell off the horse's back, Fan Kuai raised his hand and threw it on his horse's back, rushed out a bloody road, headed straight for the Qin army camp in the rear.

The Korean army was weak, and with no one in command, Zhao Li on the top of the city did not dare to send troops out for rescue, and immediately turned around and ran to the city. Zhao Li in the city was afraid that the Qin army would follow him, so he ordered people to lift the suspension bridge and press forward to two city gates at the same time. The remaining two or three thousand Korean cavalry had no way out, so he had to kneel down and beg for mercy. Zhang Han and Sima Xin would not kill the surrendered soldiers, and they always treated surrendered soldiers very favorably. This kind of emotion was probably related to the unbearable experience in the past. Therefore, the Korean army was lucky to save their lives. If it were Fan Kuai, they might all be chopped into meat sauce.

Fan Kuai returned to the Qin army camp like a whirlwind, rushed into the commander's tent with King Han Zheng Chang in one hand, and threw Zheng Chang, who was in a coma as soon as he entered the door.

"King, the last one will capture Zheng Chang's old man!"

Wang Zhu, Wang Ao, Li Zuoche, and Yuan Sheng were discussing how to retake Xingyang and Chenggao. When they saw a meat ball rolling in outside the tent, they heard Fan Kuai say that Zheng Chang had been caught, and immediately understood what happened in a while.

"Thank you for your hard work in General Fan!" Wang Zhu stood up and took a glass of wine over himself; "General is so brave!"

Fan Kuai was as loyal to Wang Zhu as he was to Liu Bang, because Wang Zhu was already his brother-in-law at this moment. Fan Kuai picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and smiled, "It's easy to get it right!"

Zheng Chang was still in a coma, Wang Ao said, "It's useful to keep this man. I wake him up first and let him go to the city to persuade him to surrender."

A basin of cold water poured on Zheng Chang's body, and a layer of ice immediately formed on his gray beard.

When Zheng Chang raised his head tremblingly, he found that he was tied to a wooden cross. There was a table opposite the cross. After the table, there was a young man wearing a crown and a black robe sitting. There were three generals in armor beside the young man, one holding a leather whip in his hand and the other two holding hammers!

Zheng Chang recognized that young man was the King of Qin Ying Huhai, whom he had met in the Chu camp! Judging from his attitude, he was going to torture himself! Zheng Chang's old arms and legs could withstand such torture, and he was almost scared to death at that time.

When Wang Zhu saw Zheng Chang wake up, he said coldly, "Zheng Chang, do you want to live or die?" Zheng Chang is also a prince. He has not dared to speak so arrogantly in front of him in recent times. Although he was a prisoner, his temper has not diminished at all. He snorted coldly and did not throw Wang Zhu away!

Wang Zhu raised his thumbs up and praised, "A real hero, good man, I admire you! Fan Kuai, Wang Ling, Zhang Yi went to greet King Han."

Zhang Yi rushed over first, shook the whip in his hand, and stared at him and shouted, "The King of Qin is talking to you, you are fucking deaf." A whip slapped under Zheng Chang's ribs. Zheng Chang, who had no backbone, screamed out loud. Zhang Yi wanted to hit him again, but was stopped by Wang Zhu: "Zheng Chang, do you want to talk now?"

Zheng Chang shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ying Hu Hai, don't forget that I saved you in Chu Camp a few months ago!" Wang Zhu said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, aren't you just for the sake of gold? If Chen Ying doesn't give you a gift, can you speak for me?"

Zheng Chang shouted, "Then what do you want?"

"Nonsense, order Zhao Li to open the city to surrender quickly. I will surround you, otherwise-" Wang Zhu glanced at Fan Kuai beside him. Fan Kuai was holding an iron hammer in his right hand and a few iron nails in his left hand. He walked to Zheng Chang's side, put the nail on Zheng Chang's palm, and made a gesture with his right hand to smash it down.

Zheng Chang immediately sweated! "Don't-"

Wang Zhu stood up and smiled, "It's okay if you don't, you honestly order Zhao Li to open the city to surrender." Zheng Chang thought to himself that Zhao Li would not be able to rescue him in such a short while, just order it!

When Zhao Li was in a dilemma, he received a letter from Zheng Chang, ordering him to surrender unconditionally. This was the best for Zhao Li.

After entering the city, Wang Zhu danced even more happily. Since the army left Wuguan, he had basically put down South Korea without much effort, and Xingyang was moving forward.

Chen Xi also won several victories near Yiyang and gained a firm foothold. As long as Wang Zhu seized Xingyang, he could immediately form a siege against the Chu army in Hedong, Henoi.

The Qin army was stationed in Yangdi for three days. Under the repeated urging of Wang Ao and Li Zuoche, Wang Zhu's army continued to go north, leaving only Han* and Dong Yi to lead 30,000 Qin troops to garrison. Dong Yi had long accepted Wang Zhu's secret order, and all the important Korean cities were stationed in Qin's troops. Han* was actually undermined. Han* was already content to save his life, and he was appointed as the prime minister of South Korea. Dong Yi legitimately intervened in South Korea's national affairs.

During these three days, Wang Zhu was not idle, but arranged people to contact Peng Yue and gave Peng Yue the seal of the "King of Liang" that had been engraved long ago, which was to enthrone him as "King of Liang". The two sides agreed to cooperate with the action and Peng Yue would specifically drag Xiang Yu's hindrance in Liang.

Wang Zhu and several strategists carefully analyzed the situation. According to the report of the intelligence department, Zhonglimei in Xingyang City had 70,000 elite soldiers, 30,000 cavalry, 100 chariots, and the rest were all infantry, which could be regarded as a strong brigade. Cao Ju of Chenggao was located behind Xingyang, so he had only 30,000 troops, and most of them were infantry, which was easier to break through. Wang Zhu measured the personal qualities of Zhonglimei and Cao Ju, and felt that Cao Ju was much more bullied than Zhonglimei, so he decided to bypass Xingyang and ordered Fan Kuai, Chen Ping, and Zhang Han to lead 40,000 elite soldiers and penetrate Chenggao from the shortest route.

Wang Zhu promoted Chen Ping as the head coach and made Fan Kuai and Zhang Han as the second general.

Chen Ping was very grateful. After some consultation with Fan Kuai and Zhang Han, Chen Ping decisively decided to march quickly at night, cross Zhonglimei's defense ground, and sneak attack Chenggao. Chen Ping knew very well about the generals of the Chu army. He knew that if he talked about generals, no one in the Chu army could surpass Zhonglimei, so he was very careful when traveling through his defense ground.

Late at night on that day, the Qin army crawled on the empty fields like a dragon. The sound of horse hooves, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of cooing wheels cut through the quiet night, awakening the sleeping mountain road, and sounded far to the north.

Although Zhonglimei was both wise and brave, the news was not very well-informed. The Qin army had swept the entire Han area, and he was not aware of it at all. It was no wonder that the people sent by Zheng Chang to inform the news were captured alive by soldiers arranged by Han* and Yuan Sheng, and the news was blocked strictly.

Chen Ping, Fan Kuai, and Zhang Han successfully passed through the outer periphery of Xingyang with quick horses, and unexpectedly surrounded the important town Chenggao in the morning the next day.

The Qin army did not go down the camp and went straight to Chenggao South Gate! Cao Ju was called out in his sleep and couldn't believe his ears. When he ran to the top of the city, the Qin army's ladder had already been placed on the top of the city.

Cao Ju and the bow head rushed to the city with shouts of killing all the way. The Qin army under the city was like a large number of fearless black ants, braved arrows all over the sky, climbed the city tower along the ladder. In just half an hour, Fan Kuai had already climbed the city first in the southeast corner of the south gate and opened up the beachfront position. The Qin army behind him was rushing up continuously. Cao Ju was late, and he wanted to stop the counterattack.
Chapter completed!
