Chapter 299: Battle of Lou Cang (7)

In Lou Cang City, the flames were blazing, illuminating most of the sky red.

However, when Xiang Yu led his men to the city of Lou Cang, he found that the gate of Lou Cang was open, the suspension bridge was flat, and there was no sound on the top of the city.

Xiang Yu's first reaction was: There was an ambush!

He immediately drank and asked the horse to stop moving forward and observed at the city gate for a long time.

But at first glance, the Lou Cang city gate was clear and there was no one. Apart from the crackling sound of flames, there was no sound. If it were the case, Xiang Yu would have rushed into Lou Cang without hesitation. However, he suffered losses at the hands of Liu Kan one after another, which forced him to be cautious. In other words, Xiang Yu had been tortured by Liu Kan in the past time.

After about a cup of tea, it was finally confirmed that there was no one in Lou Cang City.

Only then did Xiang Yu order into the building to put out the fire...

However, when Xiang Yu stood in front of the fire, he was stunned again and couldn't speak for a long time.

There was indeed a fire in Lou Cang City, but it was not the supplies, grains and grass in the warehouse, but the dry grass and dry firewood piled in the fields. I don’t know where Liu Kan found so much firewood, piled up in the east and west, everywhere. Not only the Liu family’s farm, but also the Chen family’s farm and the Lu family’s farm, the same was true. The raging fire rushed to the sky.

What trick is Liu Kan playing?

Xiang Yu smiled bitterly and said to himself: Could it be that my reputation is so bad? It’s so bad that even swearing can’t make people believe it?

Of course he understood Liu Kan's thoughts. One of the thirty-six strategies in later generations was called "Golden Cicada" escaped.

Liu Kan is afraid of herself and regrets her pursuit!

I think that Liu Kan will have a lot of water on the evacuation list that has been reported every day. Maybe he has evacuated cleanly... The reason why he has been still is to wait for the opportunity to attract his attention, and then wait for an opportunity to evacuate without anyone noticing!

Very planning...

Xiang Yu was sure that in this farm, there must be a back door that could quietly evacuate the building and warehouse.

"Major General, what should we do?"

Looking at the burning firewood, the Chu army soldiers couldn't help but come over and ask: "Whether to save this fire or not?"

"Save, save!" Xiang Yu sighed and said, "What a good fortress, don't burn it because of this big fire.

It was said that I was ordered by Wang Yi, who took the troops from his troops to put out the fire, and the rest followed me to protect the warehouse and counted the food, grass and supplies.

In addition, I sent someone to Fu Li to inform the General that the Lou Cang had fallen into our hands and the General could temporarily retreat!"

"Here!"

The Chu soldiers responded to their orders together.

Xiang Yu led his troops to the warehouse to count the supplies, grain and grass.

When he saw the stacks of brand new armor and weapons, and piles of grain and supplies in the warehouse, he suddenly felt enlightened.

“Quick count.”

The military chief Sima and other officials rushed forward and began to count the supplies.

"Major General, here is a list."

A civil servant took out a list from the warehouse room and shouted in surprise.

With this list, the intensity of work will be greatly reduced. You should know that if there is no list, you must register it little by little. It is a big job to organize so many materials in the building warehouse. In just one or two months, I am afraid it will be difficult to sort it out. Now, you only need to count according to the number on the list to quickly clean up and check it, saving you a lot of trouble.

Xiang Yu smiled slightly, "That's it, you can check it according to the list."

A hint of loneliness suddenly arose in my heart: Liu Laoqi is also a trustworthy person. Knowing that our Chu army is in danger now, it is also a bit of affection for leaving this list. Unfortunately, I don’t know when I will meet him again in the future. I really miss you when I think about it!

The more than a month of time under Loucang City is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience for Xiang Yu.

Just when he was most proud, Liu Kan taught Xiang Yu in his way. This completely made Xiang Yu understand the truth that there is heaven beyond heaven and there are people beyond man. Whether it is Liu Kan's alliance, Chen Ying's verbal and verbal swords, and Han Xin's enchanting army, Xiang Yu has benefited a lot. At least, he has learned to think and at some point, compromise.

Now that Liu Kan has left, Xiang Yu feels lonely.

I don’t know if I can meet Liu Kan again in the future? The pretentiousness these days is really interesting in looking back.

In fact, there seemed to be wonderful people among the Qin people.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing.

His eyes became firm again, looking into the distance, clenched his fists secretly, and swore in his heart: Next time, I will never be as embarrassed as this time...

"Where is the military advisor? Why didn't you see the military advisor?"

Han Xin and Long Qi rushed the horse to come, dismounted in front of Xiang Yu, and looked around curiously. Long Qi could hear it three miles away.

Xiang Yu came to his senses and then realized it.

Yes, where did Chen Ying go?

Logically speaking, after occupying the building warehouse, Chen Ying should have appeared as soon as possible. But it seems that he has not seen anyone else until now.

"Who knows where the military advisor went?"

Xiang Yu quickly asked, but no one around said anything.

After a long time, a civil servant came out and Qiqi Aiai said, "When I left the camp earlier, my subordinates seemed to see Military Commander Chen and General Xiao Gongjiao together, and led a lot of people to the north. But as soon as I was busy, my subordinates forgot about this matter."

Go north?

Xiang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"The military advisor won't go to join the Qin army."

Long Qi said something stupidly. But as soon as he said that, Han Xin slapped him in the face.

"Lao Long, what are you talking about?" Han Xin smiled and said to Xiang Yu: "Major General, there is no need to listen to Lao Long's nonsense. Military advisors have been competing with each other since Huai and Han, and have always been doing their best to plan for the major general. Earlier, when we were not at the advantage, the military advisor did not go to the Qin army; now we have seized Lou Cang and have all the advantages, and the military advisors are even more unlikely to surrender to the enemy. I think it must be the military advisors who discovered something...

However, even if the military advisor has something to do, he should send someone to tell the Major General. He will leave without saying a word like this, which will inevitably make people suspicious. Major General, I don’t think there is anything big, so don’t worry too much. Maybe the military advisor will come back in a while."

In this world, soft knife kills people the most without blood.

Han Xin seemed to be talking to Chen Ying, but in Xiang Yu's ears, it felt bad.

Since Chen Ying surrendered, everything has gone wrong.

First, Long Qi was attacked in Xu County, and then he was defeated in Lou Cang. Then the army attacked Lou Cang, but in the end it was left alone.

On the contrary, Chen Ying fought steadily and finally took the stairs. Although he was the head coach, many people were afraid that Chen Ying would be the hero.

If you talk about this person, you always have this jealousy.

Xiang Yu is an arrogant person, so he naturally cannot avoid this kind of thought.

But the most serious thing is not this problem. What makes Xiang Yu feel heartbroken was that Chen Ying left silently and brought his troops, but his commander was unaware of it. This means that Chen Ying controlled some of the power in the army, which made Xiang Yu very uncomfortable.

His face suddenly became gloomy.

He pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Lao Long, you and Han Xin stay here to count the supplies, food and grass. I personally led 3,000 troops to pick up the military advisor... I was worried that the military advisor might go after Liu Kan. I had an agreement with Liu Kan, and he lost all my reputation.

I'll go after him now."

Han Xin said: "It is very likely that the Major General said this.

However, the Major General should be more careful. I heard that when Liu Kan was in Henan, he was full of wisdom and used hundreds of troops to defeat the Huns' 100,000 troops, and defeated the Huns' soldiers and generals, and fled in panic. It was not because he had used other people's ambitions today, but since he used such tricks today, it was difficult to guarantee that he had not set up any tricks when retreating... Then, the military advisor would be in danger!"

Xiang Yu nodded repeatedly and expressed his appreciation after saying this.

He immediately led his troops to attack and went to chase Chen Ying.

Looking at Xiang Yu's departure back, Han Xin's mouth slightly raised and a strange smile appeared on his face.

What can you do if Chen Ying is resourceful?

I am afraid that after tonight, your position as the number one strategist in the army will never be able to be saved. By then, it will be the day when I take office.

"Han Xin, what are you looking at?"

The dragon was beside him and asked in confusion.

Han Xin smiled, "It's nothing, I just think of Liu Kan, I'm afraid I can't escape death this time... Lao Long, Lou Cang has obtained, do you have any plans?"

Long Qi was stunned, "What are the plans?"

Han Xin said: "When Lou Cang is in hand, the major general will definitely recruit troops and expand the army. Donghai County is still in chaos and is a land without a master. However, it is also a good place for us to establish achievements... If we can seize the East China Sea for the major general, we will directly threaten Xue County.

Given our 30,000 troops, I can guarantee that within two months, Xue Jun will be conquered with the Major General.

But I can't complete it alone. But I wonder if you, Lao Long, are interested. Let's join forces to seize the first success after this building warehouse?"

Long Qi's eyes lit up all of a sudden!

Since the failure of Xu County, although Xiang Yu did not blame him, Long Qi has always felt uncomfortable.

Now that he heard what Han Xin said, he keenly realized that this was a great opportunity for him to make achievements and wash away shame. Long Qi trusted Han Xin, his life-savior. Although Han Xin is young, he has real talents and knowledge in his belly!

Especially in terms of military management, it is like turning the arms.

More than 10,000 new recruits under Long Qi were trained by Han Xin in a short time.

If Han Xin gave him advice, with his own courage, and with Han Xin's wisdom, it would be perfect.

Thinking of this, Long Qi said without hesitation: "Axin, I know you are a capable person. If you are willing to help me, then I will naturally beg for it. This way, when the Major General comes back, I will mention this matter to him, and he will never refuse."

When Long Qi was thinking about leading his troops to attack, he couldn't help but be happy.

Han Xin, who was standing beside him, had a stronger smile on his face at this time!
