In the camp, the war drums were beating slowly, and an indescribable chilling atmosphere was circulating in the tent. Several envoys, who could be considered generals of various military units, knelt and entered in front of Xiang Yu, as if it were child's play.

The waves of numbness in their knees made everyone feel extremely humiliated, but they did not dare to openly confront Xiang Yu. Just like this, they came to the center of the tent, knelt on the ground, saluted, and said with cupped hands: "I'll wait for you. I’ve met General Xiang,”

Xiang Yu ignored everyone. He seemed to be checking a bamboo slip. It wasn't until everyone saluted Xiang Yu again that Xiang Yu raised his head and smiled and said, "Why are you like this? Please get up quickly."

Xiang Yu's pretentiousness made everyone dissatisfied. They reluctantly stood up, but their knees were sore, causing them to squat on the ground again. It took a while before they slowly stood up. At this time, Xiang Yu looked at Chen Ping aside and ordered: " Take a seat,”

Chen Ping gave a gesture to several of his followers, and several Chu soldiers came over and placed a few soft mats on both sides of the tent. Then everyone thanked Xiang Yu and sat down on the soft mats. Although their knees were still sore, they Compared with just now, it is much better.

There was a brief silence in the big tent. Xiang Yu's sharp eyes roamed around everyone, and then he shouted: "Sima Xian, tell me, your army is always lingering near Julu. What is its purpose?"

Is this Xiang Yu going to settle the general ledger with him? Sima Xuan was a little surprised, but pretended to be calm on his face, sighing: "The Qin army is so powerful that I couldn't get close to the giant deer during several conflicts. Later, due to insufficient food and grass supplies, , we had to retreat fifty miles to the stronghold, and asked General Xiang for his forgiveness."

"What a shortage of food and fodder. Our Da Chu army only carries three days of food and fodder. I still know how to go forward bravely and drive away the Qin army for your Zhao country, but you stop and wait and see. What's the point?" Xiang Yu was angry, and Sima Xuan began to panic in his heart. He got up in a hurry, came to the center of the tent, knelt on the ground again, and said sincerely: "If our army still exists, the Qin army will still have concerns, but once our army is defeated, the Qin army will have no worries and will attack with all its strength. At that time, General Julu was really lost, so I asked General Xiang for a clear warning."

On the surface, Xiang Yu's shock to Sima Xuan was due to his dissatisfaction with Zhao State, but in fact, Xiang Yu was blaming the coalition forces of various countries for not saving their lives. Moreover, in the days after Xiang Yu arrived in Julu, all military units were there. Waiting and watching, this also made Xiang Yu extremely dissatisfied with them, but now, Xiang Yu's purpose of intimidation has been achieved. He pretended to think attentively, and then sighed for a while: "The matter is now over, I won't embarrass you,"

As he spoke, Xiang Yu looked coldly at Sima Xun who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a strong tone that he could not refuse: "Although the Qin army was slightly defeated, it did not damage its vitality. This time I defeated Julu and prepared to point my sword at Guanzhong. Are you willing to do it?" Striker, clear the way for me,"

'Sword pointing at Guanzhong,' is Xiang Yu going to march to Guanzhong? Sima Xian quickly weighed the countermeasures in his mind, but soon, Sima Xian realized that he had no chance to refuse. Once he refused Xiang Yu, he might not even be able to leave the Chu camp. After going out, thinking of this, Sima Xuan replied with a trembling voice: "I...will finally be willing,"

Seeing that he was finally calling himself a general, Xiang Yu nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the crowd again and asked with a smile: "You are willing to enter the pass with me. If Qin is defeated in the future, you will all have a place. Why not? "

"I am willing to follow General Xiang Yu,"

Hit first and then reward, this is Xiang Yu's cleverness. After leaving the camp, Xiang Yu held a banquet to entertain the envoys. At this time, groups of Chu soldiers carried dishes and placed them in front of everyone's table.

Those who can accompany the wine here include Fan Zeng, Chen Ping, Long Qie, Yu Ziqi and other close friends. Several envoys also have their own seats. The soldiers who are responsible for pouring wine during the banquet are very busy. A burst of military music plays, and several A strangely dressed soldier, holding a wooden sword in his hand, ran into the tent and danced for everyone.

Outside the tent, Han Xin also held a wine bag, put the euphorbia aside, and drank to himself.

Today, although envoys from various countries came to ask for an audience, in Zhang Han's eyes, it felt like this was a farce. How could such an envoy kneel down and enter the account to ask for an audience with Xiang Yu? Even if they were afraid of Xiang Yu's power, they could have withdrawn their troops and returned home instead of Lingering here,

Although he was angry, Han Xin had no military position and could only complain about himself. Looking back at the time when he went north, Xiang Zhuang refused to give up on him. He came here on his own. He wanted to stand out under the powerful Xiang Yu, but he didn't want to. , as soon as he arrived, he was deprived of military power and demoted to the post of halberd guard outside the tent. He also lost the army allocated to him by Xiangzhuang. Thinking about all this, Han Xin couldn't help laughing at himself,

With unwillingness and despair in his laughter, Han Xin decided that once he had the chance, he must leave Chu Camp and stay away from the place of right and wrong...

Suddenly, the laughter in the tent interrupted Han Xin's meditation. He stood up and looked at the tent. He didn't know what these people were talking about. The laughter was so unbearable that Han Xin snorted angrily, holding his halberd, Walking towards the open space not far away,

In the big tent, people laughed heartily. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the small tent was much better. At this time, everyone had recovered from the shame of entering the account on their knees and talked about Xiang Yu's feelings for everyone after entering the customs. promise,

Everyone will have their own piece of land. Although they cannot be kings, they can be princes for a while. This is something that no one dares to dream about.

Just because of Xiang Yu's promise, they had decided to follow Xiang Yu wholeheartedly. At this time, Sima Yan had already held his cup and said with a smile: "I don't know what the general has planned."

"Plan," Xiang Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Sima Yan with drunken eyes, stood up unsteadily, walked to the door of the tent, pointed in the direction of Ji Yuan and said: "My first thing is to kill Zhang Han. Two things, sweeping through Guanzhong and breaking through the capital of Qin,"

The banquet lasted for four hours. At this time, Fan Zeng got up to say goodbye to everyone because Xiang Yu was drunk. However, Xiang Yu suddenly became sober after everyone left, and his drunken state was gone. When Xiang Yu looked at the people leaving, Xiang Yu showed a contemptuous smile,

"General, with the coalition forces from all walks of life, our strength will be close to 200,000. A battle with Zhang Han is inevitable," Chen Ping, who never left, said with a smile.

Yes, Zhang Han is not afraid of an army of 200,000. Thinking this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but raise his head and laugh,

Outside the Chu camp, Fan Zeng was chatting and laughing with everyone. Soldiers from all over the world who had been waiting for a long time came to greet him. Some came with chariots and some led war horses. Several envoys saluted Fan Zeng before they left.

Watching their departing figures, Fan Zeng was in a good mood. By recruiting these troops, Xiang Yu's strength soared. He was no longer the ignorant young man who was at the mercy of others. Moreover, the methods he used to suppress the generals of various countries today were completely unexpected. Based on Fan Zeng's prediction and Fan Zeng's understanding of Xiang Yu, the battle with Zhang Han is probably about to begin.

Fan Zeng pondered for a moment, then walked slowly towards the camp. Suddenly, his entourage on the side pointed into the distance and said with great joy: "General Fan, look at that quickly."

Fan Zeng turned around and saw an army coming slowly under the banner of Chu. The leader was Xiang Bo. Behind him, in the endless line, were carriages loaded with supplies. Fan Zeng couldn't help but say with great joy after seeing it. : "The supplies we were waiting for have finally arrived,"

,,,,,,

Jiyuan, here is the Qin army stationed with 200,000 troops. At this time, the Qin army has become a frightened bird, a turtle in a urn. Yesterday, the Chu army had moved to the south bank of the Zhang River and stood close to the mountain. The Chu camp stretched for hundreds of miles, and there were soldiers and horses approaching. Two hundred thousand troops, with an extremely huge momentum, watched across the river from Jiyuan's Qin army.

At this time, the morale of the Qin army was low. Even the general Zhang Han had lost his determination to fight Xiang Yu again. He just hunkered down in the camp all day and refused to go out even half a step. Sima Xin, Dong Yi and others were even more extreme. Worry, they were very worried that the elimination of the general would affect the morale of the entire army.

The two men also advised Zhang Han to evacuate Jiyuan as soon as possible and temporarily return to Sanchuan County to train his sergeants and avoid the dangers of Chu. However, Zhang Han believed that Xiang Yu now had strong soldiers and horses, and military supplies had just been sent to the army, so it was a good time to take advantage of them. The best time to win and fight, how could he give up?

As a result, a war is inevitable, which is what Zhang Han is most worried about. The only thing he can do is to ask the court for help, hoping that the second emperor will send troops to help as soon as possible. Otherwise, whether the two hundred thousand troops under his command can survive This difficulty is unpredictable,

After wandering in the tent for a while, Zhang Han returned to his seat and sat down. At this time, he looked at Sima Xin and Dong Yi, who were always silent, and sighed helplessly: "In this battle, we have already Since I am not sure of defeating the Chu army, the only thing I can do is to write a letter. Lord Chang Shi can rush back to Xianyang at night and give it to our emperor, asking him to send troops to help immediately."

Seeing that Zhang Han had decided to ask for help, Sima Xin could only sigh and said: "I'm very worried. Water from far away can't quench the thirst nearby. Once the Chu army comes, how will the general respond?"

"I will wait for the opportunity and wait for the opportunity to retreat south. This is our only way out. The Hebei area may no longer be owned by Qin," Zhang Han said slightly frustrated. Hebei was no longer in his power to recover.

Dong Yi saw that Zhang Han had given up on himself, so he raised his hand and reminded: "Handan and Li Liang's 20,000 troops. If the general retreats to Handan, it can still last for a season. When reinforcements arrive, the Chu army will not be afraid."

"The soldiers have no intention of fighting anymore. Even if we defend the city, it is futile. It is safer to retreat south to avoid its sharp edge. The only thing I worry about is that the Chu army will take advantage of the chaos to attack our army. By then, we will be in a dilemma. , On the contrary, it is not good, so I have always refused to withdraw my troops, right here." Zhang Han sighed again. On the side, his son Zhang Ping also sighed slightly helplessly: "Father can't increase other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige. If father is willing , I am willing to lead my army to fight against Xiang Yu, and I swear I will not return to the army until I kill this man."

"Bastard, are you Xiang Yu's opponent?" Zhang Han scolded him with all his face: "If Xiang Yu is really so easy to deal with, why should I station troops here? Do you think that my father is too old to be of use?"

"My son doesn't dare," Zhang Ping hurriedly knelt down and said,

Zhang Han looked at his son's fearful look and shook his head helplessly, "Get up."

Zhang Ping stood up, and Zhang Han picked up a writing brush and wrote on a bundle of bamboo slips. He then handed the bamboo slips to Sima Xin and told him: "The life and death of the entire army depends on this. You must return to Xianyang immediately.

Convince His Majesty to send troops for reinforcements, otherwise..."

Zhang Han couldn't speak anymore. He looked at the bamboo slips in his hands again, sighed softly, handed the bamboo slips to Sima Xin, and then waved to everyone: "You all go down, I want to be alone.

"
