Chapter 339: Chasing Han Xin

At the gate, Ying Bu was still swearing and provoking Han Xin.

Ying Bu's feelings about Han Xin were undoubtedly extremely complicated. In fact, in this era, as long as the princes belonging to Liu Bang's camp, including Liu Bang, had similar feelings about Han Xin, that is, they admired, fear and jealousy. On the one hand, they admired Han Xin's ability, but on the other hand, they were afraid of Han Xin and jealous of Han Xin.

Ying Bu was particularly afraid of Han Xin because Xiang Yu, who was regarded as a disaster by Ying Bu, was destroyed by Han Xin.

To be honest, when I just heard the news from the Chu envoy that Han Xin had already led the army to the south, Ying Bu was trembling for a while. At that time, Ying Bu only had a thought left in his mind: It's over, Han Xin has really gone south, Huainan Kingdom must be over, and even Xiang Yu is not a match for Han Xin, and Ying Bu is even worse.

After a long time of confusion, Ying Bu finally recovered.

That's why Ying Bu is so excited and loses his composure. Isn't Han Xin very awesome? But now your camp is still being copied? Without food and supplies, how can you destroy my Huainan Kingdom? At this moment, Ying Bu is like a gambler who is about to lose all his chips, but he turned the tables at the last moment. How can he not be excited?

"Han Xin, sir, aren't you very good at fighting? Come on, come on and beat me?"

"Han Xin, I have only 20,000 people here. Come quickly and let the horse come over."

"Han Xin, don't you lose your eggs? You won't really escape back to Linzi with your tail stomped?"

Under the quiet night sky, Ying Bu's words became more and more unpleasant. The generals behind Han Xin were already angry, but Han Xin's face was still calm. Han Xin ignored Ying Bu's provocation at all. He just gently turned his horse's head, raised his right hand and gently pressed towards the north, saying, "The whole army continues to move forward and return to Lu County."

With Han Xin's order, dozens of cavalry had already sped towards the two wings of the Qi army formation. While speeding, they conveyed Han Xin's military order loudly. The messengers when the army marched were completely different from those when the war. They relied more on flags or colorful lanterns during wartime, and more on cavalry during marching.

In less than a moment, the Qi army, which was originally advancing towards the camp, fell down and drove along the spacious and flat road towards the north.

Ying Bu was very surprised and a little disappointed. He was so anxious at the gate that he jumped straight: "Han Xin, don't leave. Come back, you have a fight with me for 300 rounds. Han Xin, come back..." After calling a few times, Ying Bu quickly asked Li Ji to find a strong five-stone bow, but when Li Ji brought the hard five-stone bow, Han Xin would have seen him long ago.

Ying Bu finally raised his head in front of Han Xin for a while, but how could he give up? At what time, the 20,000 imperial guards were about to be rewarded, and they planned to chase and kill the Qi army. As soon as they rode out of the gate, they met Kuai Che who was rushing towards him. Seeing Ying Bu full of clothes, Kuai Che immediately said anxiously: "Where is the king who wants to go?"

"Han Xin wants to escape, so I will chase him for a while!" Ying Bu said loudly.

"You must not, you must not!" Kuai Che changed his zeal, "You must only lead 20,000 imperial guards to chase him. If you bite him back, it would be unsightly."

"Bit a bite?" Ying Bu laughed, "The Prime Minister was too worried. Han Xin and Bi Shu could not win the battle. Now I have taken the camp, burned food and grass, and destroyed the baggage. The Qi army was at its lowest morale. I only needed to chase after the 20,000 imperial guards, and the Qi army would definitely be defeated."

"Otherwise." Kuai Che shook his head and said, "I look at the Qi army array, like a giant crane spreading its wings, without any trouble."

Seeing Kuai Che repeatedly blocked her, Ying Bu gradually became a little impatient. Seeing this, Kuai Che became more anxious and said, "King, if the Qi army is really declining, why don't the Chu army chase after it?"

"The army of Chu?" Ying Bu suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Aren't they here?"

"Ah?" When Kuai Che looked back quickly, he saw a huge long dragon of torches appearing under the night sky ahead, which was coming towards them. The ones walking in front were cavalry, with horses huddled, and the sound of iron hooves rumbled. The rumbling sound of iron hooves suddenly came to the ground, with a terrifying momentum.

"Prime Minister, are you relieved now?" Ying Bu said loudly.

Kuai Che was speechless at the moment, and the Chu army was catching up. Ying Bu's 20,000 imperial guards chased him. Even if he couldn't win, it would be no problem to protect himself. Kuai Che silently gave way to the side of the gate.

Ying Bu laughed at the sky twice, pulled his horse back and shouted: "Huainan soldiers, follow me... and kill Han Xin!"

"Kill Han Xin! Kill Han Xin! Kill Han Xin!" The 20,000 Huainan Imperial Guards who had fought for the rest of their life in their blood suddenly cheered like a thunderous thunder. Ying Bu raised his sword and led to the direction of Qi army in the north. The 20,000 troops were like a flood breaking the dike and bit the tail of the Qi army and killed them.

In a moment, a Chu general wearing a white cloak and outstanding appearance came to Kuai Che, surrounded by hundreds of personal soldiers and dozens of generals. Kuai Che saw it clearly. Isn’t the one who came here that Bi Shu who almost stayed in Huainan Kingdom and served as an official in the same dynasty as him? But now, he is the general of the guard of Chu.

"Brother Learning Sword?" Kuai Che bowed and said, "Congratulations."

Bi Shu bowed his hand and sighed, "Brother Zitong is joking, what's He Xizhi?"

Kuai Che said: "Brother, you don't have to be humble. If you defeat Han Xin, wouldn't it be a joy?"

"Defeat Han Xin?" Bi Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I also hope to defeat Han Xin, but unfortunately my dream is hard to come true. I led an army of 160,000 to fight against the Qi army for a long time, but I couldn't stand the slightest bit. If the King of Huainan had not broken through the Qi army camp, I would have probably lost more than half of my troops and retreated to the camp in a mess."

Kuai Che smiled and said, "It is also a great joy to be able to escape from Han Xin's hands."

Kuai Che's words are not lies. Since Han Xin led the army in Hanzhong, he has fought dozens of battles. No one can escape from Han Xin's hands, whether it is Xia Shuo, Chen Yu, Tian Guang, Long Ju or the arrogant Xiang Yu.

Bi Shu just smiled faintly and ignored it. His ambitions were more than that.

Kuai Che paused and asked again: "Brother, are you planning to chase Han Xin's defeated army while the night is urgent?"

"Survey while the night is coming?" Bi Shu shook his head and said with a serious expression, "No, I am just here to help defend the city. At the same time, I advise the King of Huainan to strengthen Pengcheng's vigilance and never be careless. Although the Qi army was unable to win in the battle of Sishui, Han Xin's army always unexpectedly, so don't let him attack Pengcheng because of carelessness."

Kuai Che's face suddenly changed drastically and he said anxiously: "Brother, don't you really plan to chase Han Xin?"

Bi Shu sighed and said helplessly: "I won't hide it from Brother Zitong, I don't dare to chase you."

"The problem is that the Qi army camp has been occupied by our Huainan army, and all the food, grass and supplies of the Qi army have been destroyed. The Qi army is now at a time when the morale of the army is low and the morale is low. I will lead the army to chase them at the ranks and will definitely be able to return with great victory." Kuai Che was immediately anxious when he heard this, but forgot how he persuaded Ying Bu just now.

"What is this?" Bi Shu said, "In the Battle of Jingxing, Han Xin formed a 200,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and defeated the 200,000 Zhao army in one fell swoop. Now that the Qi army has lost all its food, weeds and supplies, how can Han Xin not fight back again? With Brother Zitong's wisdom, how could he not know the risks?"

After saying this, Bi Shu said again: "What's more, from the north bank of Si Shui, I found that the crane wing formation of the Qi army was much smaller. Judging from this situation, some Qi army should have quietly rushed to the front to set up an ambush. If our army chased after the night and was ambushed by the Qi army, Han Xin would lead the army to fight back again, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

Bi Shu's words were actually nonsense. Since the Qi army retreated from the Sishui battlefield, he sent thousands of scouts to closely monitor the actions of the Qi army. In the evening, Han Xin did send two infantry soldiers to the north first, but the troops were not large and did not set up an ambush halfway. Most of the two infantry had raised food and grass.

The reason why Bi Shu dared not pursue Han Xin was because he was afraid!

In the Battle of Sishui, the Chu army could not defeat Han Xin with the advantages of military armor and the heavy cavalry of the Knight Camp. Now that the fierce battle has lasted, the Qi army is indeed exhausted, but why isn’t the Chu army exhausted? Even the cavalry of the Knight Camp is already trapped and unable to fight any more.

Bi Shuwei really has no confidence in chasing Han Xin in this situation.

Besides, the Qi army has no food and supplies, so it is inevitable to retreat, and there is absolutely no possibility of a comeback in a short period of time. In other words, the Huainan Kingdom has been saved and the Chu army's tactical intention has been achieved. Since that is the case, why take the huge risks to chase Han Xin?

Kuai Che paused and sighed: "But, my king has already chased after him with 20,000 imperial guards!"

"Ah?!" Bi Shu felt a little moved when he heard this. If Ying Bu failed to chase Han Xin, he would be attacked by Han Xin... Then it might not be a bad thing for Chu State, but on his face, Bi Shu pretended to be shocked and said in a lost voice, "Brother Zitong, did the King of Huainan really chase after him with 20,000 imperial guards?"

Kuai Che said anxiously: "Isn't it? I couldn't stop it just now."

"It's broken!" Bi Shu paused, turned his head and ordered the accompanying general Yu Ziqi to say, "General Ziqi, immediately lead fifty elite cavalry to chase the King of Huainan, tell him not to chase him!" Bi Shu had many generals of Chu army under his command, but not many people could speak in front of Ying Bu. After all, it was Yu Ziqi.

"Here!" Yu Ziqi replied with a loud bang, lit up the fifty elite cavalry and rushed forward.

But Kuai Che rolled his eyes and asked Yu Ziqi to take mere fifty cavalry to come. Is there any use?

At that moment, Kuai Che begged Bi Shu with shameless face and said, "Brother Xuejian, my king is in danger now. You can't refuse to save him. Why don't you work hard with your country's army and bring my king back?"
