Zhao Hu was filled with a solemn cold air, and he rushed to the main palace. At this moment, Bo Jing was trembling with his sword. Seeing the guards beside him die under Zhao Hu's sword one by one, he was really scared. The bronze sword in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably. Bo Jing knelt on the ground and stared at Zhao Hu with fear and said, "Master! Let me spare me! Let me give you golden cakes! Many golden cakes, as long as you let me go, those golden cakes are yours!"

"Crack!" Zhao Hu killed Bo Jing with one sword and shook the blood on the sword. He stared at Bo Jing's body with disdain, and snorted coldly: "Kill you! Wouldn't I find it myself? Besides! A thing of gold and silver! To me! It's just a burden!"

In this battle! Zhao Hu captured 800 guards, and the remaining more than 2,200 people died in this battle. Zhao Hu waved his sword and all the officials and families in the city died in this battle. All the 800 people killed them. What surprised Zhao Hu was that there were no people in the city and they were built into a military important place. The food and grass stored in the city were hoarded. Zhao Hu ordered his men to take them away, and then they changed into some armor. Then they burned the entire Shucheng. The fire lasted for three days before it was extinguished.

The guard of Tongcheng was Liu Bang's eldest son Liu Fei. When he heard that Shucheng was trapped, he immediately sent two thousand soldiers to Commander Liu Zhong and quickly supported Shucheng. Luo Cheng took advantage of the emptiness of the city and directly led many soldiers under his command to take Tongcheng and capture Liu Bang's eldest son Liu Fei.

When Liu Zhong led two thousand troops to Shucheng, the entire Shucheng was already shrouded in a sea of ​​fire and was deserted. Liu Zhong thought about the situation of the battle and secretly shouted that he was not good, so he hurriedly took his people back to Tongcheng. However, after the raids over the past few days, the soldiers under his command had long been trapped. Chen Qingzhi set up an ambush on Liu Zhong's path that he must pass.

Zhao Huhu's eyes stared at the direction where Liu Zhong was rushing, and shouted angrily: "Zhuge Crossbow! Take the arrow!"

"Swoosh swish swish swish swish...swoosh swish!" The continuous arrow feathers enveloped Liu Zhong, killing and injuring more than 800 people in an instant.

Liu Zhong hit an arrow on the shoulder, staring at the soldiers around him with a sound expression, swallowing his saliva, keeping himself calm, and shouting angrily: "Hurry up! Gather the formation! Don't be messed up! Don't be messed up!"

"Go!" Zhao Hu shouted angrily, and the soldiers under his command took action. Zhao Hu was about to take off Liu Zhong's head, but behind him a tiger general emerged. The man was wearing a white robe, white armor, a tiger back and bear waist, about eight feet long, holding a weapon in each hand, holding a halberd in his left hand and an axe in his right hand, and shouting angrily: "Bian Zhuang is here! Liu Zhong looks at the axe."

Bian Zhuang shouted angrily, and the battle axe in his hand split towards Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong was not a fool. He raised the knife and chopped the battle axe, wanting to remove his strength. He knew that Bian Zhuang's axe hit Liu Zhong's knife, and it was like a mountain of Tai. Liu Zhong's face was refreshing. He raised the knife with both hands to block it, and he could only hear: "Clang!"

With an axe, Liu Zhong's mouth broke and his whole body was spitting out an old blood. Bian Zhuang took the long halberd in his hand and stabbed Liu Zhong's chest directly. His life suddenly turned into smoke and smoke and disappeared. Liu Zhong died on the spot.

After a battle, Liu Zhong's two thousand soldiers were wiped out. Zhao Hu also called the soldiers on both sides to bury the bodies. Then he came behind Bian Zhuang and handed him the kettle in his hand and said, "Brother! You are good at it!"

"Thank you, General!" Bian Zhuang laughed and embarrassedly took the water bag that Zhao Hu arrived.

"I heard that my accent is not from Chang'an!" Zhao Hu beat him up, Bian Zhuang took a sip, wiped his mouth and said, "I am from Qufu, Lu. I have made some military achievements in the army, and then I am transferred to General Chen's command!"

"You boy! OK! Come with me!" Zhao Hu patted Bian Zhuang's shoulder and took Bian Zhuang directly to see Chen Qingzhi.

Bian Zhuang's performance on the battlefield was then seen by Chen Qingzhi, and he sighed in his heart: What a tiger general.

Chen Qingzhi looked at Bian Zhuang and then said, "I did a good job. I will first remember you and promote you to a general. I will temporarily wait for the order under the tent. I will receive a reward when I return to Chang'an!"

"Thank you, General!" Bian Zhuang looked happy, and Chen Qingzhi felt happy. After all, the biggest gain in this battle was to receive a tiger general, which also gave Chen Qingzhi some confidence in the future.

"Enter Tongcheng!" Chen Qingzhi sat in a carriage and slowly stationed towards Tongcheng. At this moment, the Tongcheng was shrouded in the darkness of the war. Originally, there were 5,000 officers and soldiers in Tongcheng. In addition, Liu Fei was Liu Bang's eldest son and had 3,000 private soldiers. However, Liu Fei was not in military service. In the end, Luo Cheng had a long spear and picked up eight generals of Liu Fei and captured him alive.

Tongcheng is different from Shucheng. Tongcheng absorbs the people who moved from Shucheng. The population in the city is as high as 300,000. If you really want to kill it, it will inevitably inspire conflicts.

Inside the city

Chen Qingzhi sat in the pavilion, and Luo Cheng dragged Liu Fei, who was unconscious, to Chen Qingzhi and said, "What should I do if this is out of stock! Kill it! It's a waste of food to bring him!"

"This is good! I'll do it!" Cheng Yaojin raised his sleeves, as if he was very keen on solving the problem in front of him.

"No!" Chen Qingzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip. His black eyes stared at Liu Fei who was unconscious and said to Luo Cheng beside him: "Take it down! It's delicious and delicious to entertain you!"

"Why is this!" Luo Cheng said with confusion.

"Killing Liu Fei will only arouse Liu's anger, and leaving him will make Liu's attack on the rat. At the critical moment, it will be a reward for his life! Keep it!" Chen Qingzhi said indifferently.

"It's a bargain!" Luo Cheng directly called the guards behind and carried Liu Fei out.

"What should the people in the city do? Is it still possible to kill them..." Zhao Hu asked tentatively.

"Soldiers! After three days of rest, all armored soldiers were burned down, and all the surrendered soldiers were killed!" Chen Qingzhi put down the cup in his hand and said indifferently.

"Three days! Once the enemy spies pass the news back! We are in danger!" Yang Zaixing, who had not spoken, finally spoke, staring at Chen Qingzhi, as if he thought he had some jokes.

"This is the effect! Three days later, the entire army went south, sneaked into the mountains, and used the convenience of war horses to attack Xiao Pengcheng! How about we kill Cangwu all the way!" Chen Qingzhi stared at the six people with a smile, as if he could make this impossible to accomplish Taoism, which was easy to say.

"You're right! This place is more than 3,000 miles away from Cangwu City!" Meng Zhan's forehead was sweating profusely.

Chen Qingzhi did not pay attention to Meng Zhan, and then pointed to the map south of Tongcheng and said: "According to the map drawn by Zhu Zhiwu, there are many mountains and forests here. The people of the mountain country did not build a city anywhere. As long as they cross the mountains and forests, they can directly hit Xiao Pengcheng. Now they have only defeated the two cities. Don't underestimate yourself! Our goal... cough cough... but the entire Chu State!"

"General! Although we have conquered two cities, we do not have enough troops to guard it! Isn't this the vain?" Meng Zhan said with a serious expression.

"Is it a waste of fighting?" Chen Qingzhi looked at Meng Zhan with a smile, and said with a smile: "In two days, General Han Shizhong's 1,000 warships will arrive in Tongcheng and receive the city! We are just a vanguard army!"

"Is it the general who defeated Li Wenzhong?" Luo Cheng hugged his hands in front of his chest with a look of respect.

"good!"

"Then why are you burning Shucheng? It's not such a waste! Isn't the food and weapons inside a pity?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes were full of regret when he said this.

"Shucheng is still sixty miles away from the Yangtze River. The transport of troops and armors inside is too time-consuming and is not conducive to naval forces. In addition, Tongcheng is only three miles away from the Yangtze River. In order to prevent the mountain army from retaking Shucheng, it will be burned all over!" Zhao Hu told the current situation truthfully.

"This time, we will focus on Tongcheng, so we will first attack Yingdu and then go to Cangwu!" After Chen Qingzhi said that, he shook the teacup in his hand and poured it on the ground with a bitter face.

Cangwu City

Liu Che was dealing with the government affairs in front of him. Deng Fei hurriedly ran over outside the hall, his eyes full of solemnity, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, staring at Liu Che with sweat on his head, and couldn't help but swallow, saying, "King! The frontline battle report!"

"Is it Zhong Wu's battle report?" Liu Che did not seem to be panicked. He put down the brush in his hand, raised the bamboo slip in front of him, blew up and down, and drank the ink in front of him, without caring about the battle report on the front line.

"No...no!" Deng Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead and spread the bamboo slips on Liu Che's table and said, "Eight thousand dans of grain in Shucheng were burned! Thousands of soldiers were destroyed, Tongcheng was occupied by Chen Qingzhi! The soldiers were aimed directly at Yingdu!"

"Oh!" Liu Che did not seem to panic, his eyebrows frowned slightly, put away the bamboo slips in his hand, and handed them to Deng Fei first, saying, "Give this bamboo slips to Prime Minister Yi Yin first!"

"No!" Deng Fei had no time to think too much, so he took the bamboo slips, left the hall, rushed to Yiyi's mansion, and told Yi Yin the battle report in front of him.

"Well!" Liu Che looked at the bamboo slips in front of him, frowned, and seemed to have finally had the right reaction. After a while, Liu Che took a deep breath and said, "It is said that Gao Xianzhi, Wang Xianzhi, Wang Zhen'e, Wu Mingche, Chen Baxian, Wu Qiang, Lu Ying!"

"Abide by the order!"

Without three incense sticks, seven people quickly walked to Liu Che's hall. At this moment, Liu Che was full of eyebrows and eyes, and handed the bamboo slips in his hand to everyone and said, "Look at it, this Chen Qingzhi is coming in full force!"

Everyone frowned and looked at the bamboo slips in their hands, and they all remained silent. Liu Che took the lead and said, "What do you think! We can still prepare without food and grass! But without Shucheng! The food and grass on the front line will be in trouble!"

Everyone knew that if there was no food and grass on the front line, the combat effectiveness of soldiers would plummet, and it would probably affect the entire occupation.

"At present, we can only transport grain and grass to Chengyang, from Chengyang to Shouchun." Yi Yin's old voice came from the gate. Liu Che drooped his eyes and looked at Yi Yin who was walking, and then said, "Old Yi is here! Come! Give him a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yi Yin limped to the position, with his two eyelids drooping. Liu Che obviously didn't want to waste time on food and grass. Moreover, Yi Yin's method was the same as he thought, and continued: "Shucheng has been burned to ruins! Tongcheng must be taken back!"

"There is not much time left for us!" Liu Che glanced at the many generals and said for a while: "The bamboo slip says that the enemy has only 5,000 people, how many soldiers do you think you will be able to send out!"

"Impossible! How can five thousand people pull out two heavy cities in our army in three days? The enemy's troops are at least about 30,000! With my construction, we will send 50,000 troops!" Gao Xianzhi expressed his opinion, and the generals on both sides did not refute, because they were unwilling to believe that the enemy could defeat twice the troops in three days with these five thousand people. If this is true, they would be in trouble.

"Cangwu's 100,000 troops stationed in Cangwu cannot be moved. This time, he will be handed over to General Gao Xianzhi as the commander. General Chen Baxian! General Wang Xianzhi is the deputy general. I will draw 50,000 troops from the surrounding county towns. What do the three generals think? "Liu Che picked up the teacup and drank it for a long time. His stomach was warm and comfortable.

None of the three spoke, as if they agreed with Liu Che's arrangement. Gao Xianzhi took the lead and said, "I have no intention of discussing it!"

Seeing that the troops were ready, Yi Yin immediately spoke, "The current situation of the battle is unclear! Send Wuqiang and Lu Ying as the vanguard army first, and test the enemy's vanguard army first. I don't know what they mean!"

Wuqiang, Lu Ying and the other two were stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Yi Yin saw them coming, and it was difficult to refuse at the moment, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "I am willing to go!"

“Great kindness!”

"But there is still a problem that needs to be solved now!" Yi Yin pinched his beard and looked quite serious.

"What else!" Liu Che looked at Yi Yin curiously, not knowing what else.

"Your Highness has fallen into the hands of the enemy!" Yi Yin spoke truthfully, as if he didn't care about the hearing of these generals.

Liu Che's face was slightly stunned. This was a difficult problem. It would be better for Liu Fei to die. In this way, the mountain army would not be afraid of being attacked, but Liu Fei was still alive, so the enemy would have mastered this big killing weapon, which was a difficult problem for them.

When everyone saw that Liu Che did not speak, they all shut up. The involvement between them was too big. Liu Che stroked his beard and said indifferently: "Soldiers should not be defeated..."

Liu Che's words will naturally understand them, and those who don't understand will pretend to understand. As for what to do next, it depends on their operations. Anyway, Liu Che will not be able to take the blame.

………

Han Shizhong's 100,000 troops successfully took over Tongcheng, and Chen Qingzhi's 5,000 ghost soldiers' army rested and quickly rushed towards Xiao Pengcheng. Han Shizhong was not idle, and sent 500 warships to the water surface and patrolled back and forth. Tongcheng was also very close to the Yangtze River, forming a natural fortress.

The rivers were calm and the waves were quiet. Han Shizhong's 100,000 troops fought against Gao Xianzhi. It was difficult to decide the outcome in a few days, let alone the time to rush.

At this time, Chen Qingzhi had already traveled for three days and arrived at the foot of Xiao Pengcheng. Pengcheng was a small city with a wall of eight feet high and a mud wall. However, there were many people living outside the city. Because Pengcheng was close to the abdomen of the mountain country, it was not a border town, and it was developed very casually. Even the city wall was dilapidated and had not been properly repaired.
