Zhang Han successfully achieved his goal. Xiang Kang personally reported the news that the Qin army in Lu County had abandoned the city and left Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang ignored the fatigue of the main force of the Chu army's decisive battle yesterday and the partial division of the Chu army had not had time to come from Xiaqiu to meet with the main force, and immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Blow the trumpet and call the generals to discuss matters!"

The personal soldiers agreed and immediately ran out to send orders and whistled the trumpets, summoning the generals of the Chu army to visit Xiang Liang immediately. Xiang Kang wanted to speak but stopped. After hesitating, he said: "Uncle, Zhang Han's generals asked the tyrant Qin army in Lu County to give up the city, food and grass to retreat overnight. The purpose is probably not just to protect his Lu County partial division. Please check it carefully."

"I know, take the opportunity to lure our army to pursue it." Xiang Liang smiled and said, "If my uncle can't even see this, he will live so much in vain. I'm so sorry for your father's personal teaching."

"Uncle, you are deliberately being led by Zhang Han's husband?" Xiang Kang asked in confusion.

"It's not that he was led by him, but that he was using his own tricks to seize the opportunity to completely defeat this man." Xiang Liang said confidently: "Zhang Han's man's man takes the initiative to retreat, and his purpose is nothing more than to show the enemy's weakness and lure the enemy into depth. But as long as we pursue cautiously and use troops carefully, we don't have to worry about repeating the mistakes we made last time. There is another flat horse west of Lu County, which is not suitable for ambushing. Our army pursues the defeated and cowardly army with victorious soldiers. What else can we worry about?"

Xiang Liang's words were not completely underestimating the enemy. At least he was still highly vigilant against Zhang Han, who liked to make sudden conspiracies. At the same time, it was indeed a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory, so Xiang Kang didn't say anything more. He answered that his nephew understood, and then retreated aside and waited for the arrival of the Chu generals.

In a moment, the civil and military officials of the Chu army who were qualified to enter the Central Army to discuss matters quickly. Xiang Liang first made the good news that the Qin army had abandoned the city and grain to the public, and then said: "Zhang Han's husband was defeated and his army was depressed. Our army was in full swing. We should pursue it with all our might, striving to completely defeat the main force of the tyrannical Qin and lay the victory of the Central Plains in one fell swoop. We must not miss the opportunity! Immediately order the entire army to set up a camp and raise an army and go north to pursue Zhang Han's husband!"

The generals of the Chu army sang together, and Xiang Liang ordered loudly: "Xiang Yu, you should return to Xiaqiu immediately, organize Xiaqiu soldiers to go north and meet with our main force, and join forces with our army to launch a pursuit. Feng Zhong, you will lead our troops to go north immediately and pursue lightly. Be sure to entangle the tyrannical Qin army for our army, hold back the retreat speed of the tyrannical Qin army, and buy time for our army to catch up with the tyrannical Qin army!"

Xiang Yu and Feng Zhongshuang clasped their fists and received the order loudly. Xiang Liang nodded and arranged for Xiang Han to stay in Lu County, responsible for organizing people to transport grain and grass to the main force. They also worked with Xiang Sui to retake Zou County, thoroughly clear the grain channels, and then immediately announced the dispersion of the tent, allowing the generals of the Chu army to immediately go down and organize the army to set up a camp and launch a pursuit under their own personal leadership.

It is said that it is to organize the army to set up a camp, but in fact, Xiang Kang doesn't have to worry about much. After returning to the camp, just call the generals and give orders, and then the rest of the matter will be done by the civil and military officials under his command. Xiang Kang just needs to check it casually. Therefore, when the middle and grassroots generals and soldiers were busy setting up the camp, Xiang Kang still had time to go to the gate of the camp in person to see Feng Zhong, a friend who led the front army to pursue the lightly, and told him in person to be careful when chasing and never give the Qin army the opportunity to take the opportunity to counterattack.

Feng Zhong's performance after being alone did surprise Xiang Kang repeatedly, and his military combat was becoming more and more popular. Xiang Kang didn't need to be so long-winded, but there were many examples of arrogant soldiers defeating in history. He was also brotherly and close to Feng Zhong. So even though Xiang Kang knew that there should be no need for this, he still couldn't help but run to the front of the camp and reminded Feng Zhong a few words.

Knowing that Xiang Kang was also kind, Feng Zhong did not care about Xiang Kang's mother-in-law and mother solemnly thanked Xiang Kang's kindness reminder, and then he bowed to Xiang Kang in front of the Chu army camp and took the horse to command the troops quickly to the Sishui Ferry. Xiang Kang saw Feng Zhong leave, and was about to return to the camp to continue to urge the soldiers to set off the camp, but suddenly came in front of the camp gate. The leader was in his thirties and had a very upright appearance and temperament. He bowed to Xiang Kang respectfully and said, "The student took the liberty and begged the general to report to the Great Chu Zhuguo, General, and Wu Xinjun Xiang Gong, and said that Shusun Tong, a junior of Confucian scholars, asked Wu Xinjun to condescend and receive the favor."

"Bold and corrupt scholar, who are you? How dare you let our right general report it for you?" A personal soldier next to Xiang Kang was furious when he heard it. He pointed to the camp official not far away and shouted: "The camp official is there, and I want to ask someone to report it for you and go find him!"

"Right General?" The Confucian scholar who claimed to be Shusun Tong was stunned at first, and then hurriedly led the Confucian scholars he brought to worship Xiang Kang, and said with great respect: "The student has no eyes, but he didn't know that the general is the famous General Xiang Kang Xiang, who is invincible in the world, sweeping across the Huai and Si Young Marshal Xiang of the Great Chu! The general's reputation shocked the Jiuzhou, and the students were already well-known. Today, they were lucky to see him. I would like to ask the right general to forgive the students' crime of ruthlessness."

"Sir, don't be polite, get up." Xiang Kang said casually: "Sir, I have said that, Xiang's name is a little bit of a joke, how dare you be the comment that shocks Jiuzhou?"

"The right general is humble, he is really a sage." Shusun Tong said with an excited face and an extremely sincere tone: "Others know the general's reputation, but students know it better than anyone else! Thinking back to the time, the right general advocated the righteous army in the lower prime minister to defeat the tyrant Qin Tiger and Wolf army, and swept across the four southeastern counties of Sishui with lightning speed. The news reached Xianyang. Not only was the entire tyrant Qin court shocked him, Li Si and Zhao Gao were stunned, and the tyrant Hu Hai was even more frightened. He was disgraced when he heard the general's reputation and even fell down the tyrant Qin memorial that recorded the general's achievements. He sat down and dared not speak out!"

"The more you say it, the more you become, the more exaggerated it." Xiang Kang said with a wry smile: "It's like you've seen these situations with your own eyes."

Xiang Kang was extremely surprised. Uncle Sun Tong, who was lying on the ground, raised his head carefully and said, "I dare not deceive the Right General. The student did see it with his own eyes, because at that time, the student happened to be on the scene?"

"What do you mean?" Xiang Kang was stunned and said in surprise: "Sir, were you at the scene at that time?"

"The Right General Ming Cha Wanli, and the student was indeed at the scene at that time." Shusun Tong nodded and said, "Because the student was a doctor of the tyrant Qin at that time and was qualified to participate in the tyrant Qin dynasty meeting, he saw with his own eyes the grand scene of the right general's reputation shocking the Qin court."

Xiang Kang was very surprised, so he hurriedly helped Shusun Tong up with his own hands and asked about the specific situation carefully. Then after Shusun Tong's careful explanation, Xiang Kang knew what happened. It turned out that Shusun Tong was indeed a native of Xue. Because he was proficient in Confucianism, he was summoned to Xianyang as a doctorate by Qin Shihuang. After Xiang Kang and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their troops one after another, Shusun Tong was promoted to a doctorate by Hu Hai. However, Shusun Tong saw that the tyrannical Qin court was about to be destroyed and did not want to be buried with Hu Hai, so he found an opportunity to escape from Xianyang and escaped back to Xue. A few days ago, the Qin army counterattacked Xue County. Shusun Tong was accidentally trapped in the town of Lu County. He could not immediately come to see Xiang Liang for official positions like Confucius' ninth-generation grandson Kong Teng. So it was only after the Qin army abandoned the city last night that Shusun Tong caught the opportunity and ran to Xiang Liang happily.

After understanding Shusun Tong's origin and identity, a thought buried in Xiang Kang's mind for a long time suddenly popped out of Xiang Kang's mind, which made Xiang Kang ask immediately after making a little calculation: "Mr. Shusun, you have been an official in the Qin court for many years, so what is your relationship with Zhao Gao?"

"Students dare not deceive the Right General. The students only know Zhao Gao and have no close friends." Shusun Tong was really honest and did not dare to use Zhao Gao to brag about himself. Then he said: "However, the student is quite familiar with Zhao Gao's son-in-law Xianyang Ling Yan Le. He has been invited to his home several times and has always had contacts."

"This is enough!" Xiang Kang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Sir, since you are very familiar with Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le, can you do a favor for us?"

"Please give me instructions, as long as the students can do their best!" Shusun Tong replied without hesitation.

It was of great importance. Xiang Kang did not express his plans in public, but just attached it to Shusun Tong's ear and whispered his despicable tricks. As a result, Shusun Tong immediately replied: "Don't worry, right general, this matter is not difficult. As long as the general gives an order, the student will immediately send his disciples back to Xianyang to act on behalf of the general."

"Then please sir!" Xiang Kang was even more happy when he heard this. He quickly pulled his uncle Sun Tong up and said, "Sir, please, I will take you to see my uncle in person."

He pulled Shusun Tong back to the Central Army camp that was being demolished. Xiang Kang, who had always been cautious, rarely used his right general's privileges to seek Xiang Liang to summon himself and Shusun Tong and his party in the large tent of the Central Army that was being demolished. Then Xiang Kang was not polite and immediately introduced Shusun Tong to Xiang Liang, and carefully introduced his origin and identity to Shusun Tong, as well as his former official in the Qin court. Unfortunately, Xiang Liang was obviously not interested in Shusun Tong and said casually: "Since Mr. Shusun is knowledgeable and talented, and has my beloved nephew personally introduced him, then stay here. I will arrange a position for you at my discretion."

Shusun Tong hurriedly bowed and thanked him, but Xiang Kang couldn't wait and said: "Uncle, Mr. Shusun is of great use to our army. He is not only familiar with the internal situation of the tyrant Qin court, but also has a good relationship with Yan Le, the son-in-law of the tyrant Hu Hai. If we make good use of it, we will definitely make the tyrant Qin monarch and ministers suspicious of each other and be disconnected from the upper and lower levels. If our army wants to break through the tyrant Qin army and flatten Guanzhong, it will be as easy as possible!"

"Is there such a good thing?" Xiang Liang finally became a little interested and asked, "Let me listen carefully."

Old Man Fan, who has always been disgusted with Xiang Kang, happened to be on the scene. Xiang Kang couldn't help but hesitate, but the opportunity was really rare. It was a pity to miss it. Xiang Kang still bowed and said, "Uncle, we might as well use the relationship between Mr. Shusun and Zhao Gao's son-in-law to make a divisive plan, and let Mr. Shusun Tong send his disciples to spread rumors in front of Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le, saying that Zhang Han's husband had already developed a rebellion and secretly colluded with our army, preparing to rebel the tyrannical Qin court to become king, join forces with the world's anti-Qin Yishi to overthrow the tyrannical Qin court, establish himself as king in Guanzhong, and divide the world's land equally with the six countries outside the Guan. Then once Yan Le spread these rumors to Hu Hai through Zhao Gao, Hu Hai would inevitably become suspicious of Zhang Han, and the monarch and ministers were separated. Zhang Han's husband had no trust and support from the tyrannical Qin court. If we want to break through his main force, it would be much easier immediately."

Just like Xiang Kang was worried, before he finished speaking, Old Man Fan sneered disdainfully on his face. What disappointed Xiang Kang even more was that after hearing his shameless tricks, Xiang Liang was not very happy, but also said with a smile: "It's easy to say it. Yan Le and Zhao Gao are not three-year-old children, how could they easily believe outsiders' provocations and disagreements?"

"Uncle, this is not necessarily true." Xiang Kang argued: "Zhang Han retreated repeatedly in front of our army. The tyrant Qin court knew this situation and was bound to be very dissatisfied with him, and it was the easiest to have suspicion about him. And uncle, you also know that Zhang Han's deputy Sima Xin once had kindness to you. Zhang Han knew this, but he still entrusted him with important tasks. As long as we expose this relationship to the tyrant Qin court, how could the tyrant Hu Hai and the treacherous Zhao Gao not have suspicion about Zhang Han?"

Unfortunately, Xiang Kang's words still failed to impress Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang still shook his head and scolded Xiang Kang, saying, "Kang'er, since you know that Sima Xin had been kind to me, why did you still have to use this relationship to provoke discord and frame him? If this matter is spread, what will the people in the world think of your uncle?"

"This..." Xiang Kang was stunned and said in his heart for a while: "When he was on the battlefield in Xiangyi, why didn't Sima Xin quietly report you a letter saying that Zhang Han was going to send troops to attack you? Sima Xin is our enemy now. If you use some means to him, what can the people in the world say?"

"General Right, please put away your trick that is not allowed to be on the table." Old Man Fan couldn't help but say: "Not to mention whether your plan is feasible, it is still a big question whether the uncle and Mr. Sun Tong around you can be reliable."

"Why did Mr. Fan say this?" Xiang Kang was a little surprised again, because Xiang Kang knew very well that Old Man Fan was a little arrogant, but he was not a jealous person. He had never seen him say such impolite words to literati and famous people who took the initiative to vote.

"The Right General probably doesn't know." Old Man Fan said even more bluntly: "When Mr. Shusun Tong was serving as the doctor of the Seizhao in Xianyang, the tyrant Hu Hai summoned the doctors in the palace to discuss the military situation in Kanto. In order to please Hu Hai, Mr. Shusun Tong openly flattered the Kanto Rebel Army, which was just a group of stealing thieves, was not worth mentioning, and there was no need to worry, which made the tyrant Hu Hai very happy, and then he was named a doctor."

"Is there such a thing?" Xiang Kang, who had a poor history, was shocked again and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Fan, who did you hear? How could Mr. Shusun be such a person?"

"Mr. Kong Teng, the ninth-generation grandson of Mr. Zhongni (Confucius), said," Old Man Fan sneered: "A doctor of Confucianism present was a disciple of Mr. Kong Teng's father. He also fled back to County Xue and told Mr. Kong Teng about this, and Mr. Kong Teng told me again."

It was related to Confucius' descendants, and even Xiang Kang did not dare to speak too much. Shusun Tong's face was still unchanged and his heart was beating. He bowed to Old Man Fan and said, "What Mr. Fan said was very true. The students did say this at that time, but Mr. Fan must have no idea. At that time, he said the rebels outside the pass were rebellious doctors, and they were all put in prison by the tyrant Hu Hai. Only those who said like students were just thieves were spared. Since this is the case, Mr. Kong Teng's fellow disciples could escape back to Xue like students. Then what he said at that time? Is it impossible to imagine what Mr. Fan said?"

Old Man Fan was so shocked, and then said hatefully: "You took the lead first, and the others had to follow you."

"Yes, it was the student who led the lead at that time, flattering the tyrant Hu Hai against his will." Shusun Tong still smiled and said, "But Mr. Fan had thought about it. If it weren't for the student who said that at that time, he temporarily stabilized the tyrant Hu Hai for Yijun outside the pass. The tyrant Qin court gathered troops in time and summoned all troops out of the pass to suppress the rebellion. If the anti-Qin Yijun's army had the opportunity to sweep outside the pass, it became a prairie fire?"

"So, the rebels outside the pass have to thank you?!"

Shusun Tong stopped answering, but gave a positive answer in his heart. Xiang Liang was too lazy to continue talking nonsense and said, "Okay, let's stop here. We still have to send troops to pursue Zhang Hanpi. It's better to pull out the camp quickly. It's all dispersed."

After saying that, Xiang Liang, who was preconceived by Kong Teng, casually ordered: "Kang'er, since you admire Mr. Shusun Tong so much, let him and his disciples work in your army. Just take a position for him and don't let him down."

Xiang Kang, who was rejected for advice, had no choice but to bow away quickly and take Shusun Tong and several of his disciples back to his camp. On the way, Xiang Kang said to Shusun Tong very sorry: "Sir, I'm afraid you're wronged. Although I am the right general, I don't have the right authority to appoint important positions in the army. I can only feel wronged. Mr. Wang temporarily serves as a civilian official in my army. When he has the opportunity in the future, he will recommend it to you."

"It's okay, it's okay, the students are already flattered to be appreciated and sheltered by the right general." Shusun Tong didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately said: "It's the students' three lives that can serve the right general who is famous all over the world and is awesome to the Nine Provinces! The right general is talented, well-versed in history, can be safe in literature, and can be determined by martial arts. Students are lucky enough to listen to teachings at all times under the general's account. The students have enough wishes, and they dare to care about the level of official positions? Even if they serve as minor officials, they are still students..."

Although she was not very concerned about the flattery of Shu Sun Tong in front of Hu Hai, after hearing the flattery that Shu Sun Tong spoke, Xiang Kang could not help but roll his eyes quietly, and at the same time he was a little worried, and said intimately, "This guy loves flattery so much, don't let my accomplice and lackeys go, right?"

Xiang Kang soon found that he was worried in vain, because Shusun Tong did not just deliberately please Xiang Kang. After serving in Xiang Kang's army, Shusun Tong always talked to others and talked to ghosts, making no one of the civil and military generals under Xiang Kang's account happy. Even Zhou Shusun Tong, who had a relatively old-fashioned personality, surrendered under Shusun Tong's flattery, and soon became friends with Shusun Tong. Shusun Tong, the number one scum of Confucianism in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, quickly integrated into Xiang Kang's army and became a member of Xiang Kang's army.

However, Xiang Kang may regret not being able to persuade Xiang Liang to adopt his plan of discord, because when he decided to retreat last night, considering that the Chu army was in great power and might join forces with other anti-Qin rebels to launch an attack on him at any time, without being sure to defeat the main force of the Chu army, Zhang Han had already written a letter overnight to send a quick horse to Xianyang for help from the Qin court, asking Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and Li Si to send him more reinforcements to strengthen his troops and give him more troops.
