Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Poor Lu Matong is trembling...

Poor Lu Matong, who was trembling behind the two of them, had no idea that he had attracted the attention of an unreasonable and arrogant tiger.

Lu Bu turned his head several times without leaving a trace, until he remembered Lu Matong's disgusting face clearly, and then he snorted coldly and focused on the front.

Because of his displeasure, he subconsciously forgot the rule of being half a horse behind the king, and just followed his own temper.

As soon as he pinched the horse's belly, Wu Zui, who was already bored with the pace, immediately swung his tail knowingly and happily passed the bastard Jade Lion who was pretending to be a tiger in front of him.

Xiang Yu stared expressionlessly at the back of his lover as he passed him unceremoniously, and without thinking, he urged the jade lion under him to follow him to avoid being thrown further away.

The Jade Lion was afraid of the overlord's aura and was always walking on thin ice. How dare he disobey now.

No matter how tired he was, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurried to catch up.

Wu Zhui looked down upon the jade lion, and suddenly lost his temper when he saw that it dared to follow him.

While the rider was holding the reins loosely on his back, giving it free rein, it didn't allow the jade lion to catch up, and immediately started galloping!

However, there was a big killer on his back, and the jade lion was very frightened. How could he get rid of it, so he used all his energy to run forward on the spot.

Two people, one black and one white, galloped like two bolts of lightning across the vast plain, always locked in tandem.

In the end, both Wu Zui and Jade Lion were panting from exhaustion due to this rapid speed, but they could only throw the rider behind them far away.

The two horses galloped with all their strength. They had already passed nearly a hundred miles in a blink of an eye, and they were all extremely tired.

Lu Bu seemed to have come to his senses just now and couldn't help but frown.

He tightened the reins slightly, and Wu Zhui glided down the ladder and started to pace slowly.

Xiang Yu then calmly ordered the Jade Lion to speed up a few steps and keep pace with him, and asked nonchalantly: "Why did I look at Na Lu Matong just now?"

Lu Bu tilted his head lazily, glanced at him indifferently, and said casually: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Bu has never looked at anyone."

Xiang Yu pursed his lips and said without holding back: "Three eyes."

Lu Bu looked at him inexplicably.

Xiang Yu had a cold expression on his face.

The pair of double eyes did not look at him, but stared seriously at the uninhabited path ahead. After a long while, Fang said slowly: "Feng Xian turned around and glanced at Na Lu Matong three times."

How could he not know that this idiot still has the ability to see all directions and listen to all directions?

Lu Bu secretly cursed, saying "Oh" as if nothing had happened, and said perfunctorily: "It's rare for Bu to meet this person, so I just took a few more glances."

Xiang Yu remained silent.

When Lu Bu thought of Lu Matong's abominable appearance, he was filled with disgust.

In addition, the punishment has been included in the list of future settlements. How could this stupid king bother him by mentioning that person again.

but……

Lu Bu rolled his eyes and suddenly realized that there was no one around him, and the stupid king seemed to be in a good mood, so this was not a good time to ask that cheap man!

His anger always comes and goes faster.

The idea was determined. He narrowed his tiger eyes, slightly curved the corners of his lips, and the cold frown he had just turned into a sly smile: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

His expression changed rapidly, which really made Xiang Yu dizzy.

Xiang Yu was slightly startled and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if I say it first."

Lu Bu only considered the words for a moment before he began to ramble: "The New Year has passed and the spring plowing is coming. No matter you are a commoner or a soldier, you must not miss the opportunity to plow. As we all know, Qidi has always been a vast place with a large number of people. , even though it cannot be compared with the land of Guanzhong, it must not be underestimated, let alone the two lands of Yan and Zhao? If the princes are given a chance to breathe, the king can only rely on the money and food of the two lands of Western and Eastern Chu. Falling into a deadlock of evenly matched forces, it is difficult to defeat the enemy, and instead it is in danger.”

Xiang Yu listened carefully, thought about it for a moment, and asked, "Is it your intention to send troops to retake the three lands as soon as the New Year is over?"

"Chen Ping and others are still in Zhao territory," Lu Bu said rudely, with a slight twitch in his mouth: "If this is the case, your Majesty, wouldn't he trap the envoys he sent to death! Of course, we still have to wait for a while!"

Xiang Yu frowned.

Seeing that this fool was not enlightened, Lu Bu felt that he had no hope in him, so he continued: "In my opinion, the situation in the north is unstable, and the land of Eastern Chu may not be able to live without the king, let alone the king." Move the troops north easily to avoid letting the rats take advantage of the situation and be exhausted by then. Although Hengshan Mountain has descended, the war in Jiujiang is still unclear..."

The more Xiang Yu listened to his analysis, the more he frowned.

Seeing that Xiang Hanzi had completely fallen for the bait, Lu Bu was secretly happy, but with a serious look on his face, he solemnly suggested: "Your Majesty clearly has a tiger and wolf army ready to go elsewhere, why not use it?"

"Where?" Xiang Yu looked puzzled and followed his beloved general's words and asked, "Where?"

Lu Bu's eyebrows danced with joy and he said: "Although my brother is low-key and restrained, he is a natural general and is very talented in the art of war. Since he defeated Peng Yue, stationed in Xianyang, and managed the remnants of the army, is it possible that it is still difficult for the king to see what he can do? !”

Even Xiang Yu, who had no doubts about his beloved general in front of him, really couldn't believe him when he heard this.

He remained silent, but Lu Bu had already observed his words and felt disapproval. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "No matter whether the debater is successful or not, he can't be anxious for a while. Since the war situation in Jiujiang area is stalemate, Dong Chu The army must not move lightly, there are still more than 200,000 elite soldiers in Guanzhong, why not take advantage of them and capture the Wei area first, so that the road to transport food can be smooth?"

Xiang Yu said solemnly: "There must be no loss of the country, and Zhang Han cannot move."

Lu Bu scolded this fool for being so ignorant. He still hadn't regarded Han Xin's hen that laid golden eggs as a general who could lead an army on his own. He was really just an ordinary deputy general.

Moreover, sending troops from Xianyang to attack Wei would be a hundred benefits without any harm.

No matter whether Wei can be completely conquered or not, as long as it poses a certain threat, it can cause panic among the princes' armies, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the next major battlefield outside the pass.

If Chen Ping had not persuaded King Zhao to rest at that time, the loss of Wei would definitely increase his lobbying chips.

Lu Bu suddenly changed his mind and said, "That's all. Bu and Brother Han have a close relationship. The king will inevitably suspect that Bu is nepotistic in employing people and only listens to others..."

When did he say this?

Xiang Yu pursed his lips and wanted to speak, but he heard the next sentence from his beloved general: "Your Majesty is the king of a country and the commander of an army, so it is reasonable to act more cautiously. I only have one suggestion, I don't know. Your Majesty, I would like to hear it."

Xiang Yu was blocked after he finished speaking. After a long while, he said in a depressed voice, "Speak."

Lu Bu fixedly looked at this elm head that was uncertain about mood and anger, his eyes seemed to be filled with light.

In Xiang Yu's eyes, the corners of his beloved general's lips were raised, and his brows were full of endearing confidence and pride: "The garrison in Guanzhong is nearly 200,000. To prevent something serious from going wrong, the king can order Han Xin not to move."

No one is moving?

Xiang Yu frowned in confusion.

He saw his beloved general in high spirits and said: "Bubu is not talented, I am willing to vouch for Brother Han with my life and property. The king can give an order, ordering him to raise his own troops and food, and to take the Han and Wei prisoners... Only three It was pieced together, and as for the others, not to mention the army in the city, even the army in Guan was not used."

At this point, facing Xiang Hanzi who could not hide his astonishment, Lu Bu felt proud and proud, and said happily: "With such a mixed army, Brother Han can also make achievements in Wei. Is your Majesty willing to use him from now on?" "

Xiang Yu remained silent for a long time.

Anyone who hears this will only think it is nonsense.

——What is the combat effectiveness of a tribe composed only of hastily recruited young men and enemy prisoners?

The Central Army, which was easily defeated under Zhang Han's remarkable command, is the best example.

Such a miscellaneous group of people, not to mention seriously fighting against the army, even if they just want to be brought to the battlefield smoothly, it is definitely not something that can be achieved with just three or four months of training.

However, General Ai was stubborn by nature. He favored Han Xin, who was famous for his humiliation because of his ability in commanding the army, and recommended him repeatedly. He even took the initiative to put forward such harsh conditions, which showed that he was determined.

Xiang Yu thought for a long time and finally sighed secretly.

That’s all.

He was irritated, but he couldn't help but think that since his lover insisted on doing this, he just... let it go.

Although he didn't think highly of Han Xin, he didn't think he had the miraculous ability to train and transport troops as his favorite general said. After all, he treated him as an ordinary general.

He will not deliberately create difficulties and force the other party to a complete defeat.

"No need."

Xiang Yu said calmly: "Fengxian's Guanzhong army will be directly led by him, and more people...he will raise as much as he is willing to raise, and as much as he can raise."

Six days later.

When Han Xin, who was still deeply ashamed and restless for his impulsive and rude request that day, actually received the royal edict allowing him to lead troops to conquer Wei...

It was unbelievable to feel like I was in the clouds and mist, as if I was stepping on the clouds.

——It actually happened?

The request I made at that time was really driven by the impulse in my heart that I didn't want to miss a good opportunity.

But he said that after Xiandi left, he combined the 20,000 Wei soldiers and nearly 10,000 Han soldiers, and strengthened the training with the Guanzhong Army for a month, and his military appearance changed greatly.

Although compared to the Guanzhong Army, which he was more familiar with and had been an elite division of the former Qin Dynasty, these newly recruited soldiers seemed to be mixed, but they were enough to fight Hanzhong.

Ignoring Zhang Han's shocked dissuasion, he seized the opportunity when Liu Bang was defeated and fled back to Hanzhong. Just after one month of training, he led the new army to advance westward.

On the other hand, Liu Bang had just escaped, and he was still frightened. It took him several days to calm down.

Although he knew that 80% of the defenders stationed in Xianyang were coming, he really couldn't bear to give up the fat in his mouth, so with the help of Xiao He, he revived his morale and recruited a group of young soldiers from Bashu, hoping to train them as soon as possible and serve as defenders. military.

How could he have expected that Han Xin would come so quickly?

As soon as the 20,000 new soldiers arrived in Hanzhong, he had no time to train before Han Xin's menacing and terrifying troops arrived.

Liu Bang barely resisted for several days, but his morale was low and his soldiers were afraid of fighting. In the end, he only found an opportunity to quietly abandon the city and escape.

Although Han Xin failed to catch others again, it was not too regretful that he came here for military training this time.

He successfully recaptured Hanzhong and personally drove Liu Bang all the way back to Bashu, before returning to Xianyang to find Zhang Han's return.

Zhang Hanzheng was deeply disturbed by his failure to stop him that day. Who would have expected that he would use his troops like a god to reach this point, and really take Hanzhong back so quickly with the help of a ragtag army?

Not only that, after this battle, Han Xinke stepped up his training, and there were also 20,000 young men recruited from Bashu by Xiao He.

As the number of soldiers under his command increased, Han Xin decided to move beyond the border.

Although the military rations are still plentiful at the moment, they are not only used by the sergeants in Guan, but also have to be sent to the battlefield in Dongchu.

Both sides are consuming at the same time, and the food route is long and passes through many countries, so it is inevitable that it will be captured by the enemy.

It became a top priority to open up grain roads and conquer Wei.

Han Xin was training his troops in an orderly manner, appeasing the people, and...waiting quietly.

Winter turns to spring, and spring plowing is around the corner. This is the best time to send troops in his mind.

But even when he shamelessly made that request to his wise brother, he never dared to think that the king who always looked down on him would actually appoint him as the general!

Han Xin opened his eyes wide and stared at the brief edict.

——From this day on, he can no longer temporarily lead the entire army even as a deputy general, relying on the extra trust of his wise brother as the commander-in-chief.

Instead, under the unreserved, sincere and enthusiastic recommendation of his wise brother, he received the honor of being promoted exceptionally and firmly became the chief general of the Guanzhong Army.

Yes - a general with complete authority to recruit troops, raise food, and send troops for war!

Han Xin took a deep breath, closed his eyes tightly, and the hand holding the edict trembled uncontrollably.

After a while, his eyes became hot and the corners of his eyes became moist.

At the same time, an unprecedented burning heat flowed through his limbs and bones, filling him with unprecedented power to move forward.

——He has long been accustomed to being alone and unknown.

——Also accustomed to chewing hardships alone and enduring contempt and indifference.

——I am more accustomed to being homeless in my heart, with my ambitions hanging high in the sky, as bright as the bright moon, but also out of reach.

But I have never been used to it, to have such a sincere and sincere brother who always trusts and respects him.

Han Xin froze in place like a clay sculpture, motionless for a long time.

Only he knew in his heart that the invisible shackles that always restrained, trapped and chastised him...

I have been melted by the sincerity and trust of the wise brother contained in this edict, and there is no trace.

Han Xin gently wiped the water from the corners of his eyes and smiled slightly.

The eyes are clear, the mind is set, and the road is clear.

He lowered his eyes and put down the edict, carefully put the general's seal ribbon that was in his brother's hand not long ago into his lapel and put it away properly.

Even if he was shattered to pieces, he still needed to repay this affection that left him in the twilight.

In sharp contrast to Han Xin's cautious actions, was the boiling blood in his body, the shaking bones, and the roar of... the fierce intersection of swords and swords ringing in his ears.

——That is the hidden front magic weapon, which throbs as soon as it is unsheathed.
