The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

The coach is dead, and the emperor has fallen.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Yan army was at a loss in the field, Han Xin promptly commanded the army to attack from the middle. At the same time, the two wings that had already been spread out were outflanked and surrounded from three sides. The Yan army at the back could retreat a little through the only opening behind it. The rest of the Yan soldiers felt that they were surrounded by enemies on all sides and were desperate. They were defeated like a mountain.

Every charge of the Chu army would leave hundreds of corpses of Yan soldiers behind.

Thinking about the words that the opponent's coach just yelled, "Drop your weapons and don't kill those who surrender." Even though the corpses of 200,000 Qin soldiers in Xin'an are still fresh in my memory, in a situation where there is no leader and there is only one way to die. Next, the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army, who were frightened and shaken by the beating, could only grit their teeth and choose to block it.

Just hearing the "clang" of weapons falling to the ground, the Yan soldiers rushed to drop their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Only the Yan army at the rear saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat, but they were blocked by the elite soldiers led by Han Xin who moved over unnoticed.

Seeing that Fang Paoze, who was trying to escape, died, the remaining ones who were still hesitant quickly gave up their stubborn resistance, quickly dropped their weapons, and followed other Paoze to become prisoners obediently.

Originally they thought they would lose a small number of troops, but because Lu Bu rushed into the enemy's rear alone and beheaded the King of Yan himself, miraculously they were all saved, and he also gained more than 60,000 Yan prisoners...

Faced with such brilliant results, Lieutenant General Han Xin's face was always as black as stone.

He indifferently sent people to simply clean up the battlefield, and then prepared to continue towards the Jicheng Forbidden Army twenty miles away.

From the beginning to the end, not even a single glance was given to Lu Xiandi, who was riding a horse in a circle triumphantly, carrying the head of King Yan, and enjoying the mighty shouts of the Chu army soldiers.

Moreover, after witnessing such a heroic performance by the coach, not only did the Yan army become frightened, but it also naturally made the Chu army proud, and their morale increased as never before.

Lu Bu raised his chin high, without wiping off the bloody stains all over his body. He still had a proud and cold expression on his face, but his heart was so proud that he was so proud that the jade lion's hooves also looked a bit graceful when he stepped forward.

What does it mean to command well, be invincible, come and go like the wind, be brave and adept at fighting, and be invincible...

It's a pity that these rough guys didn't have much ink in their stomachs, and they only had a few words that they could repeat over and over again. Lu Bu, who had always listened to the literati praising Cao Cao and Yuan Xiaoqi's gang in the past, quickly lost his ability. The stock is so strong.

Alas, we still have to promote a few eloquent people in the army!

Lu Bu turned around angrily and wanted to find his brother Han.

Unexpectedly, Han Xin, who had always been very gentle to him, looked coldly at him this time. Whenever he spoke, his tone was as cold as ice.

Lu Bu looked confused. After being ignored by the other party after speaking several times, Lu Bu simply stretched his neck, put his face in front of Han Xin, carefully studied the other person's face, and said with concern: "Brother Han, is this Feeling unwell?"

He only knew that every once in a while, those little ladies would have weird tempers and make sarcastic remarks for no reason.

Why is it that Brother Han, an eight-foot tall man, has such a strange problem even though he is born with thin skin and tender flesh?

Han Xin didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking, otherwise he would be furious. Hearing this, he silently opened his eyes and said coldly: "I'm not feeling any discomfort. I won't bother you, general."

Lu Bu's eyes widened, not noticing Han Xin's deliberate coldness and alienation. He just rode the jade lion in a small circle deftly, and in the blink of an eye he turned around again in front of Han Xin. He asked in confusion: "Seriously?"

The wise brother who didn't believe what he said didn't realize it, and he was still lingering around like a cat. He was clearly in trouble, but he wanted to know more clearly...

Han Xin tried to hide away several times, but every time he was approached by Lu Bu, who was a skilled horseman. He couldn't help but purse his lips, and endured it again and again. In the end, he couldn't hold it back, and said stiffly: "General, he doesn't care about his wealth and sex." If you are destined to die, why bother to consult Brother Yu?"

When he left, he said lightly and said that he only chopped off the big banner and deceived him into believing him.

As a result, looking at the posture of going away and refusing to look back, even if he only cut the big banner, it was clear that he had a blood feud with Zang Tu. He didn't even care about his own life and knocked Wang Jia over!

Thinking about how frightened he was at that time, Han Xin became extremely angry.

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

——Ouch, motherfucker!

The weird temper of Brother Han, the cheap man, is just like that of Gao Fuyi, who every time he sees him charging into battle, getting excited to kill, then coming back with a scratch on his face, he will throw a slander at him to make him angry!

Seeing the surprise on his face, Han Xin seemed offended, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked angrily: "Is there anything wrong in what Brother Yu said?"

"No, no, no." Lu Bu subconsciously shook his head like a rattle, and skillfully squeezed out a flattering smile on his face, instinctively using the trick he used to deal with Gao Shun: "It's just that Bu didn't play for a long time. It is really a sin to forget the promise you made with your brother."

As a commander who was deeply valued by Xiang Yu and destined to have a bright future, he was so humble to his useless brother who was promoted by him in an unusual way, and he admitted his mistakes so honestly and happily...

On the contrary, Han Xin felt a little embarrassed.

In addition, the word "long" that "not playing for a long time" that Xiandi unconsciously brought out is also worth pondering.

Han Xin frowned slightly and looked at Lu Bu with a sincere expression in confusion.

With my virtuous brother's outstanding skills, except for King Xiang, there is probably no one in the world who can stand up to him as an enemy.

If he had really gone to war, he would have become famous all over the world. How could he remain unknown to this day?

Lu Bu had no idea that he was being quick to speak, so he accidentally let it slip. Seeing Han Xin's expression softening, he didn't notice the confusion in it. He only knew that there was hope for reconciliation, so he kept saying: "We are all cloth." When it's over, I'm so tired that Brother Han is worried. I hope Brother Han can be generous and don't care about Bu Na's impatience."

Han Xin sighed softly, wondering how he could be angry with him.

That little doubt passed by in a flash. He didn't think about it in detail. He suppressed his pretended indifference and said apologetically to Lu Bu: "Brother Fool is also angry when he is concerned. Don't blame me Brother Xian."

Lu Bu shook his head desperately, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, and chuckled: "Brother Han, just don't argue with Bu!"

His calculations were ringing loudly in his mind: Seeing that the stupid king was hopeless and beyond control, he had no choice but to cherish the think tank in front of him who was willing to use his brains for him, and coaxed him with a few soft words. What's the trouble?

That little knot was completely resolved in these few words.

——At this time, Han Xin did not know that after repeating this several times, he would be like the unlucky Gao Fuyi hundreds of years later, and fully understand that the good brother was always decisive in making mistakes, sincere and quick in admitting mistakes, but always... It's a bastard style of not changing your nature and committing the same crime again next time.

However, after destroying the main force of Yandu, eliminating some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who were despised, and marshaling the rest into the ranks, Lu Bu's military strength jumped from 50,000 to 80,000.

When the army resumed their march, they arrived at the gate of Jicheng in an instant. Lu Bu took the lead, showed the head of King Yan in the distance, and shouted to the shocked gate defenders: "Zang Tu is dead, why don't you attack the city quickly?" surrender!"

Seeing that the king, who had only spent a few sticks of incense and had personally raised troops and led the army to go on an expedition, was left with only a bloody head. This was a devastating blow to the morale of the remaining defenders.

In addition, at a glance, they saw that there were many familiar faces in the Chu army who were dejected and wearing the uniforms of the Yan army. How could they still have fighting spirit?

The reaction of Jidu officials was naturally very quick.

Even the king is dead, how can he resist?

——In the past few short years, Jidu has changed hands three times, and this is not the fourth time.

After deliberation, the Prime Minister of Yan State ordered the city gate to be opened, and personally led the officials to greet the Chu army, who was impatiently waiting, trembling.

All the princes heard that Chu's color changed, and they were naturally afraid of its ferocity.

The people of Jicheng were also extremely panicked. They had nowhere to escape, so they had to close their doors tightly and try their best to hide the valuable things in their homes, but they did not dare to hide more for fear of offending the vicious soldiers who came to search for their property.

Among them, those who had a cellar at home let their wives and children squeeze into it, while the husband simply had the courage to peek at this group of ferocious Chu soldiers through the crack in the door, and he couldn't help but beat his heart.

They were afraid that the ferocious and bloody Chu army would break in the next moment, and even take away their family property is a trivial matter. What they were afraid of was that the famous Chu soldiers would not even spare their lives.

What surprised them was that these notorious Chu soldiers did not look sideways, and only followed the general who was riding in the front, and passed by.

And Lu Bu, who was looked down upon by Zang Tu just now, was dressed in fancy clothes and loved to be pretty. Because he had fought alone just now, he was covered in blood. His auspicious snow armor was full of blood marks, and he was carrying a painted halberd. It was also dripping with blood.

Even the jade lion, which was originally all white, became mottled with light brown after the enemy blood dried up.

Coupled with the calmness and calmness on his handsome face, it was as shocking as Shura's arrival in the world.

……What's going on here?

The people of Yan State who escaped the disaster were not able to rejoice, but they fell into deeper confusion.

Lu Bu didn't even bother to look at the Yan official who was prostrate on the ground. He only concentrated on communicating with Han Xin beside him in a low voice.

Only the other deputy general Li Zuoche, who was closest to the second general and was temporarily sent by Xiang Yu just before the expedition, and who usually kept a very low profile, could hear the conversation between the two very clearly.

Lu Bu's expression was solemn: "Brother Han, from what I see, Ji City has been conquered, and the Yan army has no fighting spirit. At most, we only need to leave a few thousand men to take over temporarily, and then replace them when the king sends people. There is no need to waste the whole army here."

Han Xin nodded with deep understanding: "What the wise brother said is absolutely true."

The three forces raised their flags to rebel against Chu at the same time. Xiang Yu undoubtedly hated Tian Rong the most for causing this "rebellion" and posing the greatest threat to Chu. He decided to lead his troops to conquer the three Qi personally in order to quickly put down the first "rebellion" and kill the rest as a warning to the monkeys; Chen Yu He sent an envoy to the newly ennobled Jiujiang King Yingbu to support Zhang Er; as for Peng Yue, who was invited by Tian Rong and appointed as a general to make trouble in Liang, although he had defeated Jiyin City, he did not Not ignored by Xiang Yu.

After all, Peng Yue not only had only a thousand weak soldiers in the battle of Changyi, but also did not make any outstanding military exploits. Not only did he fight side by side with Liu Bang, but he did not follow the Chu army into the Pass. Xiang Yu looked down upon the Caotai team, which had only gathered more than ten thousand stragglers, so he only sent his subordinate Xiao Gongjiao, who performed only mediocrely, to suppress it. .

Han Xin was very unfavorable about this and sighed: "Xiao Gongjiao is only a county magistrate and has no military knowledge. Although Peng Yue is not well-known, he is a gangster. I am afraid the outcome of this battle is uncertain."

"It's hard to determine the outcome" is just a euphemism - while the former has mediocre abilities and completely underestimates the enemy, the latter has been "licking" blood on the edge of a knife for many years. As the number of troops gathers more and more, there must be "chaos". "The cunning way to survive in the world."

He can easily take advantage of the loophole and defeat the arrogant soldiers.

Peng Yue?

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was serious, and his ears twitched quietly.

This name was quite familiar to him: he seemed to have good abilities, but in the end, the old and cunning Liu Bang found him and chopped his head into a pulp, and also killed the entire clan of unlucky people.

"Since Xiao Gongjiao is not an enemy of Peng Yue, Brother Han is willing to order 50,000 soldiers and horses to go forward?" Seeing Han Xin's worried look, Lu Bu had an idea and immediately struck the hammer with his hand, which was the final word: "Brother, take the cloth with you." The five thousand soldiers trapped in the camp will temporarily separate from Brother Han and go to Qidi to assist the king!"

Xiangzhu... King Xiang?

Han Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the extremely serious Lu Bu in disbelief.

If there is one person in the world who least needs the icing on the cake from his ministers, it is undoubtedly the incomparable King Xiang.

The Overlord did not hesitate to order elite soldiers and rush to the ground in person, just to attack quickly and to deter others. He definitely did not really regard Tian Rong as an opponent who needed to be treated with such seriousness and caution.

There are so many powerful soldiers and generals, why should we go first to add icing on the cake?

Seeing Han Xin's unconcealable surprise, Lu Bu sighed sincerely, but there were too many people waiting around, so he couldn't express his true thoughts.

——He is such a fool that he wants to help that stupid king!

He did not hesitate to run around and work himself to the death, just to prevent the stupid king from making random mistakes, but in the end it ruined the plan he had worked hard to make for the Chu army. A lifelong plan to unify the world and hunt down Liu Thief! ! !

Seeing Lu Bu's expression of sorrow and difficulty, Han Xin, who accidentally underestimated the extent of his obsession with killing Liu Bang, was shocked. Under the misunderstanding, it was difficult to intervene.

He shook his head in amusement and rejected Lu Bu's whimsical proposal: "Brother Yu is only a deputy general, how can he lead an army to Liangdi by himself?"

Lu Bu disagreed: "Soldiers are valuable and quick, so why should they be constrained by the way of employing men? Besides, Brother Han is so talented that he is serving as Bu's general for a while. It's an injustice. It's just that others don't know that my brother is talented. But Bu is not a blind person. Isn't that right? Would you really treat Brother Han as an ordinary lieutenant and treat him lightly? Moreover, these fifty thousand soldiers have all been trained by Brother Han himself. They are all loyal to Brother Han, so there is no need to fear that he will not obey orders."

Moreover, Han Xin's cold glare and criticism just now looked very much like Gao Fuyi, which really made him feel frightened.

He had thought that with Han Xin at the rear, he would not have to worry about anything and could charge forward as much as he wanted... Unexpectedly, this seemingly temperless Meng Gourd became angry when he got angry.

Moreover, Peng Yue was quite capable, and the plan he finally made to help Chu conquer the world was extremely important, and he must not allow the other party to cause chaos later.

Ordinary people can't suppress Peng Yue, so he sent soldiers and immortals to lead the army. Isn't it easy to capture him?

And he can go and keep an eye on the stupid king in person to avoid any complications - it's the same army with two uses, perfect!

Lu Bu thought happily, and happily comforted Han Xin, who felt something was wrong, and said: "Brother Han, don't worry, this fact is Bu's own assertion. If the king really wants to pursue the case afterwards, Bu will never let his brother be implicated."

He didn't believe that the easy-to-fool King would still pursue such trivial details after Han Xin made great achievements in defeating Peng Yue's army.

If we really want to talk about it, the military order issued by King Han was to conquer the Yan Kingdom, but he did not mention at all that after conquering Yan, he was ordered to stop his advance and stay where he was.

Therefore, if he took advantage of this loophole, it would not be called a serious violation of the king's order.

As soon as Lu Bu's subconscious words came out, Han Xin was aroused. The hesitant man frowned and agreed.

It's just that the wise brother has such high regard for him and plans for his future. He wishes he could die in return. How could he really agree with Lu Bu's argument that he should be held accountable alone?

When Lu Bu saw that his goal was achieved, he was so happy that he would not have any unnecessary arguments with him on this unimportant matter.

But since Han Xin will lead troops to support Xiao Gongjiao and he will go straight to Qidi, then the matter of presiding over Yandi...

Li Zuoche, who had been listening to this wonderful conversation silently, didn't know where he was until the two of them reached a consensus and quickly made the next plan.

I don't know why, but he suddenly felt a chill on his body.

He suddenly came back to his senses and suddenly met two pairs of piercing eyes.

Lu Bu gave a high-five, with a cunning and successful smile on his lips.

He stretched out his hands without any explanation, took Li Zuoche's hand enthusiastically, and decided neatly: "Vice-General Li will take care of all matters in Jicheng for the time being!"

Li Zuoche: "..."
