Chapter 85 Prescribe the right medicine
When Chen Ping saw Wang Zhu, he said bluntly, "The king should withdraw Zhang Ping's troops and send more troops to guard Feihu's mouth, and Baimajin prevents Xiang Yu from sneak attacking Chenggao."
Wang Zhu said without hesitation, "Then let Zhang Ping, Sima Xin, Lu Jia, and Xiahou Ying take 40,000 troops to guard. What should we do if we draw so many troops in Xingyang?"
Chen Pingdao; "Chen Xi and Gao Qiuyun have defeated the Chu army in Hanoi, and Hanoi is under the control of the king again. Chenggao is the last pass to capture Hanoi. It is also the king's retreat."
Wang Zhu was amused and crying. Before he could fight, he thought about how to escape. However, there was nothing he could do about it. The terror of Xiang Yu in the army could never be dispelled.
Wang Zhu said; "Is there anything else?" Chen Ping said; "I didn't come for this matter. My real purpose is to let the king say a few words to Zhonglimei."
Wang Zhu said angrily, "I originally wanted to persuade him to surrender, so of course I have to say a few words to him." Chen Ping smiled, "What the king wants to say is not necessarily what the king wants to say."
Wang Zhu thought to himself, this kid must be holding back his water!
"Whatever Mr. Chen wants me to say, I will obey my orders."
Chen Ping smiled and took out a sheepskin from his big sleeve; "Master, I am ready. The king will take a look at it and just follow the comments mentioned above."
Wang Zhu took the sheepskin, frowned, and asked casually, "What does this mean by sir? It's so profound." Chen Ping bent over and said, "The king will understand after reading it."
After reading it, Wang Zhu raised her head, looking confused. Still didn't understand!
"Mr. Chen, I am talented and knowledgeable. I really don't understand what you wrote on it. It's too outrageous if you asked me to send food and grass to Zhonglimei--"
Chen Ping chuckled, "It's not outrageous at all, the king just needs to do it." Wang Zhuxin said, if I do it, I will be the number one idiot in the world.
"In this cold day, we don't have enough food and grass to our own. We send food and grass to the enemy. Moreover, if Zhonglimei had food, how could he surrender?! What a joke?" Wang Zhu's tone was very unhappy.
Chen Ping smiled, "The king doesn't understand. Xiang Yu and Zhong Limei must not understand either. However, I have a reason here. I just ask the king, do the king want to impress Zhong Limei alone, or do they want the country of Western Chu?" Wang Zhu said quickly, "The country of Western Chu!"
Chen Ping said in a deep voice, "That's right. The king let Zhonglimei go today. I promise that it won't take long to get the land owned by Xiang Yu."
Wang Zhu didn't understand what he meant. However, although Chen Ping was not very good-looking, he was not a gentleman who could only speak. Besides, lying in front of the murderous demon Qin Ershi was not a fun thing. I guess Chen Ping didn't dare to play with fire either.
"Okay, just send food and grass, but you also asked me to tell him, 'Let Yafu be ready. After the matter is done, I will thank you very much. I will treat Yafu as my own father.' Mr. Chen, what does this mean? You want to alienate Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu, right? Your plan seems too clumsy, and I guess Xiang Yu will not be fooled."
Chen Ping smiled, "Your Majesty, don't hesitate. I can issue a military order. If this action is unsuccessful, I am willing to pay for this head. However, if I do a good job, I hope to be the Marquis of Suiyang. I don't know, the king agrees or not."
Wang Zhu is so angry that he had known that you were greedy and treacherous, but he didn't expect that he would be so overwhelmed.
"Master Suiyang - OK - Mr. Chen, just do it." Wang Zhu really wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the 50,000 kilograms of gold, but in the end he held it. Where did Mr. Chen get my poor gold?
Wang Zhu and Chen Ping drove to the intersection besieging Zhonglimei. The Qin soldiers blocked the intersection immediately dispersed to both sides. Zhang Han came to see him: "King, Zhonglimei guards the important road, but our army cannot pass. However, the enemy has no food, so it is estimated that they will not be able to get up one by one in two days. At that time, we can--I don't know where Xiang Yu has been at this moment!"
Wang Zhu smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know that I was here to deliver food. Chen Ping, Chen Ping, don't fool me, otherwise I'll let you die.
"If you pass the order, you will say that I will talk to General Zhonglimei!"
Zhang Han thought to himself, why are you so polite to him? This kid has always been disrespectful to the Qin people. I used to be in Chuying, so I just saw his expression.
In front of Wang Zhu, five hundred oar and shield soldiers were arranged in five rows, and two rows of crossbowmen, all forming formations, waiting for the battle, holding up the shield, with bright eyes, and staring at the front with all concentration.
Zhonglimei appeared at the intersection with a horse, and the Chu army's archers immediately crowded up. The atmosphere was immediately tense, the clanging sound of tightening the bowstrings, the sound of uniform footsteps on the ground, and the friction between the shields and the armor all highlighted the strong sense of fighting!
Zhong Limei shouted loudly across the shield formation of the two armies, "I don't know what kind of noble things are there for the King of Qin to call me?" Wang Zhu showed inexplicable expression and turned to look at Chen Ping. Chen Ping spread his hands and said in horror. "It's not about me, I'm just ordered to pass on the message."
Wang Zhu roared at Chen Ping, "Then why did he pretend to be stupid?!" Chen Ping's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he said with his feet; "How could I know this-how did I know!" Wang Zhu was furious; "It was clearly a joke to me, someone came, and pushed Chen Ping out and killed--" Chen Ping knelt on the ground.
Zhong Limei was also stupid now. What a mess? Is the King of Qin sick? He called himself out but didn't say anything. Instead, he talked to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping suddenly turned his face, blushed and roared at Zhonglimei with a thick neck; "General Zhongli, didn't you ask me to tell you? Why did you forget? You can't harm me!"
Zhong Limei was even more stupid. He was full of little stars in his head, so he couldn't figure it out. Chen Ping, a bastard, was crazy!!
Chen Ping suddenly said, "King, I have a few heartfelt words that I have to report separately." Wang Zhu developed in accordance with the pre-declared plot: "Okay, then come over and tell me quietly!"
Chen Ping got up from the ground, ran to Wang Zhu with a bunch of loess, and said to his ears with a gushy voice. Wang Zhu nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay, okay, yes, yes!"
In fact, Chen Ping didn't say anything, and Wang Zhu didn't hear anything. The two of them were acting here!
"So that's it-" After Chen Ping finished speaking, he stepped back. Wang Zhu looked suddenly enlightened and shouted at Zhonglimei at the top of his voice. "General Zhongli, I blame you for your mistake. I have prepared all the food and supplies you want. I will send someone to you. By the way, please tell Yafu Yafu and say, 'Let Yafu be ready. After the matter is done, I will thank him very much. I will definitely worship him in the Taimiao of Qin and serve as my biological father to sacrifice.' I will not say much, and say goodbye." After saying that, I did not give Zhonglimei a chance to resolve his doubts at all, and turned around and left.
Zhonglimei seemed to be hit by someone, dizzy and confused, and thought he was dreaming, so he almost slapped himself in the face to verify it.
After about half an hour, something even more incredible appeared in his sight. More than twenty grain trucks appeared behind the Qin army. They rushed towards the intersection. After arriving at the intersection, they stopped.
Zhang Han led the besieged soldiers and retreated for a mile. Before leaving, he smiled and said to Zhonglimei, "The king told me that they will be a family in the future. Please take the general with these food and supplies. In order to relieve the general, Zhang retreated for a mile now. Please ask the general."
Zhonglimei's neck was stiff, and she turned her head to look at the personal soldiers beside her. The personal soldiers' eyes were full of suspicion, and their eyes were rolling constantly in their sockets. However, what Zhonglimei saw in their eyes was more hunger and food delivered to the door for free, and there was no reason to refuse. Zhonglimei ordered the soldiers: "Pull it in, bury the pot and make rice!"
The people of Qin thought very thoughtfully, and even prepared pots, pans and spoons for them. They were so at home. While eating, Zhonglimei thought that the King of Qin must be sick and was very sick. In fact, Wang Zhu himself suspected that he had a fever, and only Chen Ping was proud. Zhonglimei, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, your unlucky days are coming soon.
Since then, the Qin soldiers have never launched an attack on Zhonglimei. Not only has they not attacked, but they also have good wine and food every day. The Chu soldiers are all over the head, and they don’t know what the Qin soldiers are crazy about. Every time the Qin soldiers sent by the Qin army, they have tried all the wine and food several times, and they are sure that they have not been poisoned, so they dare to eat it. The Qin soldiers’ heads are bigger than the Chu army. Most of them are angry, damn, they eat better than our own people. Isn’t this just raising a tiger? The king is so full of eating too much!!
Two consecutive days.
On the third day, Xiang Yu's army finally arrived without stopping.
Xiang Yu heard in Pengcheng that the King of Qin suddenly left Wu Pass and annexed Han, and the Qin army was heading towards Xingyang. He was so angry that he was so angry that he glared at him and immediately led his troops to support him. However, halfway through, he was told that Xingyang and Chenggao were lost. Not only was Chenggao in Xingyang and Chenggao, but Hedong was also occupied again by the Qin people. Cao Ju died in battle, Xiong Wu died in battle, Gongshou surrendered, Xue Gong was crippled, and Zhonglimei was trapped.
Xiang Yu became more and more anxious as he heard that Zhonglimei was trapped. Zhonglimei was one of the top generals under his command, so there must be no accident. Xiang Yu ordered Huan Chu and Long Ji to suppress the rear army. He and Fan Zeng led 20,000 light cavalry to take a small path and run to Xingyang. Finally, they rushed to the edge of the Sishui River before Zhonglimei was surrounded and annihilated.
Zhang Han heard that Xiang Yu's army arrived. Before Xiang Yu crossed the river, he fled and returned to the city! Before leaving, he ran to the intersection and talked nonsense. Of course, this was also explained in advance by Chen Ping, and the lines were also drawn up by Chen Ping.
"General Zhongli, the king knows that you are the first general of Chu. Xiang Yu only gained your favor and became the King of Western Chu. When Xiang Yu started a military army in Wu, he was recruited by General Zhongli. He just killed a Kuaiji County Magistrate and robbed the general's limelight. After the eight thousand soldiers crossed the river, the general fought south and north, Su County, Xia Xiang, Zhongwu, Huling, Pengcheng, and Xutai, all of which were captured by the general alone. Xiang Yu would only hide behind the general and enjoy his happiness. Later, in the Battle of Julu, Zhang Han was also due to the fact that in the battle of Julu, the second half of the city was also captured by the general. Xiang Yu would only hide behind the general and enjoy his happiness.
In order to fear General Zhongli, he would be defeated again and again. If General Zhongli had not been the leader, it would be hard to be brave. Wang Li and Shejian would not have lost to Xiang Yu. Others don’t know that Zhang Han knew this. However, Xiang Yu, a shameless person, relied on his descendant of Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu, was greedy for the achievements of heaven and excluded the general. He took all the contributions on him alone. Zhang Han was really worth it for the general. The King of Qin said that he would definitely seek justice for the general in the future. Okay, there was something between the walls, so Zhang Han didn’t say much, so he said goodbye."
Before Xiang Yu crossed the river, he heard people tell him the legendary story of how the King of Qin "treats" Zhonglimei!! After listening to this story with a "fantasy Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", Xiang Yu didn't say anything for a long time. The light of doubt flashed in his tiger eyes. Are Zhonglimei and the King of Qin allied brothers?! Damn, if it weren't for the brothers, how could the King of Qin be so nice to him? When the person came to report to Xiang Yu, after Zhang Han's long editorial, Xiang Yu was so angry that he almost had a stroke. He mentioned the spy who told the informant, raised it over his head, and almost threw it out and fell to death.
"Damn, Zhang Hangou bastard really said this?! I asked you, what the soldiers believed it, do you believe it?" Xiang Yu's eyes were already bleeding.
"I believe the overlord, some soldiers believe it, some don't believe it - General Zhongli has clarified it to everyone, but there are rumors - villains don't believe it -" If the eyes could kill people, the poor spy had been killed by Xiang Yu hundreds of times. His tongue was already half short at this moment.
Fan Zeng laughed, "King, this matter is obviously a plan of separation by the King of Qin. This plan is too clumsy, so the King doesn't have to pay attention to it. The King of Qin is really naive."
In fact, the King of Qin is not naive. Chen Ping's plan is not naive either. Chen Ping saw through Xiang Yu, he was fighting psychological warfare. Xiang Yu was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, and his heart could not stand this kind of trampling. Although Zhong Limei was both passive and innocent in this matter, Xiang Yu still secretly hated him.
OK, you boy is better than me, are you? I have to make you dirty and let everyone know that you are just a useless waste, please wait for me!!
Chen Ping is to understand the kingdom of Western Chu!!
There is also the legend about Fan Zeng, and Xiang Yu also felt that it was not good to hear it in his ears! It was like an indigested piece of food accumulated in his stomach, which was extremely uncomfortable. It was disgusting to think of it. However, at this time, he was just awkward-
Xiang Yu quickly crossed the river, and Zhonglimei led the remaining 20,000 more people to the river to meet him. When Xiang Yu saw that Zhonglimei was neat, the soldiers were all energetic, and there was no trace of dish on his face. Mr. Zhongli seemed to be much fatter than last time he met, and his face was rosy, and Xiang Yu's suspicion became even worse.
It seems like I am in a tough battle, but it seems that I have just returned from recuperation near Beidaihe! (To be continued)
