When Hu Hai saw Zhang Han and Li You agree, he looked at Ying Bu with great relief, "This plan is logically led by Ying Bu. If you defeat the Chu thief, you will be rewarded with great rewards!"

After hearing this, Ying Bu was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, he, a prisoner, had today. He immediately bowed and bowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I wonder how many soldiers and horses you promised?"

"I don't know about this matter, so it's up to Zhang Han to arrange it." Hu Hai waved his hand and then left the camp to enjoy the scenery.

Zhang Han looked at Hu Hai who was leaving with ease and sighed slightly: "Your Majesty is really generous. He doesn't care about this at all, but instead goes to see the scenery."

Chen Ping and Meng Fang next to him came out one after another, leaving Li You patted Zhang Han on the shoulder and said jokingly: "It's not that Your Majesty is generous, but that everything is settled. Let's leave this for you. Go and order the troops."

"Brother Li, how many soldiers do you think do you have the right one?" Zhang Han asked in a hurry.

Before Li You answered, Ying Bu had already submitted the silk book on the desk, "General, please read it. This is a report on the battle ahead. It is said that Chu thieves are 20,000, and you can also ask the general to grant me 5,000 troops."

Zhang Han glanced at the silk book and then put it away, "Do you think five thousand is enough?"

Ying Bu had never fought a war, and when Zhang Han asked this, he muttered in his heart. Isn’t it enough? It should be enough, “General Qi, should it be okay?”

"Okay, just five thousand, I will first explain that 3,000 prisoners and two thousand cavalrymen, you can arrange everything yourself. If you have made contributions in this battle, you will be the Marquis of Guannei when you return to Xianyang." Zhang Han said seriously.

Ying Bu nodded quickly, "If the army is defeated, come and see you!"

On that day, Zhang Han dispatched 5,000 troops, led by Ying Bu, and Meng Fang was the deputy general. He bypassed the Lingbi and went directly to the vicinity of Jushui to ambush the Chu thieves.

The Chu army was led by Xiang Liang, with about 20,000 soldiers, all of which were elite soldiers from Jiangdong. Yingbu master attacked the enemy, and even 5,000 soldiers and horses were too many. After all, leading troops to fight was not to bring as many as you want.

It is probably difficult for two thousand people to control the first person to be on the battlefield, let alone ten thousand people. Therefore, to be on the safe side, Ying Bu only asked for five thousand soldiers.

The Ju River is surrounded by reed marshes and poles. There are no problems with ambushing five thousand soldiers and horses along the coast.

The Chu army left Pengcheng and rushed to the Jushui River in five days. Fan Zeng saw that there were reed marshes and plants across the wooden bridge. He was a little suspicious and hurriedly asked Xiang Liang to stop the troops.

"Reported to the Prime Minister, there are people passing by the reed marsh in front of him, and the grass and trees are lush, so there are probably ambushings. The wooden bridge is not strong. If there are ambushings, it will be difficult to look at each other in front and behind."

Xiang Liang was watching and watching, and the wind blew his face. The river water slowly flowed, and the sun was in the sky. There were still wild ducks playing in the river, which seemed to be a sign of ambushing the army.

Then he said in a true voice: "Sir, look at the wild ducks and reed dragonflies in the river. If there is an ambush, how can you be so calm and not fly far away?"

Fan Zeng always felt something was wrong, so he had to settle for the second best, and whispered: "It's better to divide the troops into two teams, Xiang Zhuang leads one team first, and we will pass later."

"Now the Lingbi is right in front of you, and the Qin army is still in Mang County. There is no need to rush for a moment, so please think twice."

Xiang Liang could not bear to go against Fan Zeng's good intentions, so he sent an order to lead a team of people to move forward first, and stayed across the bank to prevent any changes.

After the two teams of troops were ordered, Xiang Zhuang took the lead. Xiang Liang looked ahead and said helplessly: "Why are the old man so worried? It's so great to be cautious!"

Fan Zeng did not speak, but retreated to Jushui. After all, Zhang Han and Li You of the Qin army were not ordinary people. Seeing this, Xiang Liang snorted unhappy, "I sent troops for the first time and I have been suspicious again and again. If I had known that he would follow his nephew, I would have taught him to be cautious and not to be reckless."

Just as Xiangzhuang half of its troops crossed the river, Ying Bu and Meng Fang suddenly broke out from the reed marsh and the grass. Xiangzhuang wanted to fight, but who knew that the Chu army was in chaos and many soldiers fell into the river.

"The Chu thief takes your head!" Ying Bu shouted and rushed forward directly. At this time, the Qin cavalry in the distance also rushed over and surrounded all the Chu troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Xiang Liang was on the other side of the river and had no way to support him. The wooden bridge only accommodated two horses in parallel. Xiang Zhuang immediately fought with Ying Bu when he saw the situation, which made the Chu army unable to get ashore and retreat too slowly!

At this moment, Meng Fang was on both sides and immediately ordered the soldiers to set up rockets. With a command, more than a thousand rockets shot towards the wooden bridge. The Chu army in the middle had no choice but to jump into the river.

Taking advantage of the breeze of the country, the wooden bridge was quickly burned into two pieces. Xiang Zhuang led 3,000 Chu troops to rush down the wooden bridge and fought fiercely with the Qin army. He gradually became a little disadvantageous, but he could still fight.

Meng Fang also came to fight with his halberd at this time. Xiang Liang, who was on the other side of the river, was anxious and begged Fan Zeng, saying, "The old man is more skilled and regrets not listening to his words. Please give him advice quickly!"

Fan Zeng frowned slightly, "For the sake of the present, break the wood and make a boat, and forcefully cross the river, otherwise Xiangzhuang will be in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take sand, gravel, earth and wood, and hurriedly build it while the wooden bridges were slightly four or five meters apart. If there were dead trees, they could cross the river directly.

The Chu army was originally in the south, and most of them knew the nature of the water. Under Xiang Liang's strict order, they had to force the river to cross the river. A thousand other people built the bridge. In less than half an hour, the wooden bridge could basically pass by.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Ying Bu immediately shouted to Meng Fang: "The Chu thief wants to cross the river, can we withdraw?"

"Thousands of thieves were killed or injured, which was enough!" Meng Fang also said loudly.

So, the Qin army shook the flag and the Ying cloth plastered behind him, and fought with the Chu army while retreating. Xiangzhuang was afraid that there would be a Qin army behind him, so he did not dare to chase him and ordered the count of the casualties and wounded soldiers.

In this Jushui ambush, the Qin army only injured a hundred people. As for the Chu army, thousands of people died when they were trampled on, thousands of people died when they drowned, and hundreds of people disappeared, and two or three thousand injured.

Xiang Liang was ambushed by the Qin army, feeling very guilty and respected Fan Zeng more on his face. If it weren't for the old man's words, 20,000 people would have crossed the river at the same time, the losses might be even more serious.

On the south bank of Jushui, there are still 15,000 people left in the Chu army, and the remaining injured or dead are sent back to their hometowns. This is also a kind and righteous act.

At this time, the Lingbi was right in front of the Chu army, but Xiang Liang did not dare to move forward at all, so he could only stand on the slope and look away, "The old man is really a god. I wonder what to do next?"

Fan Zeng stood aside and pondered for a long time and said, "If the Prime Minister doesn't bother, you can build a bridge on the Jushui River first, and five horses can run in parallel. I wonder what the Prime Minister wants?"

"Just as the old man said, build a bridge! Let's stop the troops here to rest and recuperate." Xiang Liang replied directly.

After Ying Bu and others successfully attacked, they immediately returned to Mang County. Hu Hai and others' army had already gathered. Seeing Ying Bu back, they immediately dismounted to greet him.

"Thank you for your hard work, what about the thief of Chu?" Hu Hai asked excitedly.

"Thousands of thieves are injured, so you can go to the spiritual wall." Ying Bu said seriously.

"Haha, it's great, Zhang Han, please lead your troops to guard the Lingbi quickly. I and Li You go to Cai!" Hu Hai said excitedly.

The land of Xia Cai is close to Shouchun, which is the land of Chu. In this way, with Lingbi as the base, a large area of ​​Chu returned to Qin, but what Hu Hai did not expect was that Sichuan County returned to Chu again.
