In Kuaiji County, Zhang Han led his army to a place hundreds of miles away from Wu County.
Suddenly, a spy came galloping on horseback: "Reporting to the general, I learned that the general led a large army to attack. The kings and ministers of Chu State were terrified. Ten percent of the people fled. Wuxian County is now at least half empty."
When Zhang Han heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Are all Chu people so cowardly and incompetent? They don't even have the courage to resist the general. It's really disappointing."
Thinking that he was about to get an empty city, Zhang Han felt very unwilling.
At this moment, the deputy general next to Zhang Han heard this and bowed to him and said: "General, why don't we divide our troops into two groups? You lead the army to attack Wu County, and your subordinates lead the cavalry to pursue the fleeing King of Chu."
Zhang Han's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "This is a good idea. It's settled. I will lead 20,000 cavalry to pursue the King of Chu, and you will lead the army to attack Wu County."
The deputy general's face froze and he said: "Did the general get it wrong? Shouldn't his subordinates lead the cavalry in pursuit? The general, as the commander-in-chief, has to sit in charge of the central army."
Zhang Han said with a displeased look on his face: "Should I listen to you or to this general?"
The lieutenant general said with a fearful look on his face: "I have no such intention, please check it out, general. I am just worried that the general will pursue the King of Chu with the flag, which will attract the ambush of the Chu State masters, and put you in danger. I have no other thoughts."
Zhang Han touched his beard and said, "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot."
I saw Zhang Han directly taking off his shining armor and motioning for the soldiers carrying the flag to come forward. Fang said to the deputy general: "I will leave the flag and armor to you for the time being. When I behead the King of Chu,
I will return his head to you when I come back to you."
After saying this, Zhang Han waved his hand to his bodyguard: "Gather the cavalry in the army and follow my general to pursue the King of Chu."
Then 20,000 cavalrymen separated from the army and followed the scouts' guidance to go in another direction.
Zhang Han led 20,000 cavalrymen and had traveled less than three miles when a figure carrying a terrifying aura flew over the heads of the cavalrymen.
Zhang Han felt his heart stop for a beat. He turned around subconsciously and saw that figure lying in front of the 80,000-strong army. His voice was like thunder: "Where is Qin General Zhang Han?"
"Grandmaster Realm," Zhang Han murmured, "There are actually strong masters in the Chu Kingdom."
Then Zhang Han saw a scene he would never forget.
Unable to receive a response, the Chu State Grandmaster Realm expert drew out a six-foot-long broad sword and struck it towards the commander's flag of the army.
A bloody path suddenly appeared, and wherever the sword light touched, there were broken arms and limbs. The deputy general who had just taken over the commanding flag was the first to bear the brunt, and his whole body was directly blown into pieces.
When Zhang Han saw this scene, he felt a chill rising from his tailbone and reaching his forehead.
The Grand Master of Chu State said coldly: "All the people of Qin deserve to die."
Then he raised his sword and charged into the army. The Qin army, which was originally full of morale and fierce, fell down like wheat.
This shocking scene directly broke the courage of the Qin army. Countless soldiers cried and shouted: "Devil, the devil is coming." while discarding their helmets and armor, for fear that they would run too slowly.
The Grandmaster is invincible, this was the only thought left in Zhang Han's mind, and then he categorically ordered: "The whole army dispersed and fled. They must return to Chang'an and tell Marshal Lin Ze that a new Grandmaster has been promoted to Chu State. I hope he will be cautious."
deal with."
After saying that, Zhang Han was the first to take off his armor and ran towards the jungle to the south.
The Liushenwuzhu cavalry subconsciously followed him, only to see Zhang Han disappear after he fled into the forest.
The 20,000 cavalrymen suddenly became confused and fled in batches.
Xiang Ji, who was slaughtering an army of 80,000, just glanced this way and sneered: "Escape? Can you escape the master's pursuit?"
After Xiang Ji had been slaughtering for half an hour, he looked around and saw that there were no more standing Qin soldiers. Fang snorted coldly and chased in the direction where the cavalry had fled.
…
He took King Xiong Xin of Chu and fled with all the civil and military officials of Chu State. They didn't see the Qin soldiers chasing after them for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.
A Chu official of the Jing family suddenly exclaimed: "The Xiang family is still in Wu County and no one has escaped. Could it be that they are about to be exterminated?"
The Chu official of the Zhao family shook his head and sighed: "Maybe it was the Xiang family that held back the Qin army. We had the chance to escape so far. We must not let down the Xiang family's hard work and we must successfully escape to the land of Baiyue."
, to preserve the last trace of vitality for Chu State."
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a figure covered in blood stood in front of the escaping team and looked at them coldly.
The carriage at the front of the procession suddenly came to a sudden stop, and the horse pulling the carriage almost threw off its seat.
The warrior riding the horse couldn't help but scolded: "What kind of gangster dares to stop Wang Jia and risk his life?"
Xiang Ji didn't show any aura at this time, just like an ordinary warrior, so he was not taken seriously by the horse warriors.
Xiang Ji looked straight at Wang Jia, who was worried about his heart, and bowed his hands and said: "Xiang Ji of the Xiang family has defeated the Qin army. I sincerely ask the king to return to Wu County to take charge of the overall situation."
"Xiang Ji? The heir of the Xiang family." Someone suddenly remembered that the man with a bloody face in front of them seemed to be the heir of the Xiang family.
A Chu state official from the Jing family coughed lightly and said: "Xiang Ji, what nonsense are you talking about here? Your uncle's 200,000-strong army was defeated by the Qin army. At present, there are 20,000 Chu soldiers in Wu County."
If you can't get it all together, what can you do to defeat the Qin army?"
"Could it be that your Xiang family defected to the Qin army and came here deliberately to deceive the king into falling into a trap?"
Xiang Ji ignored him, but looked at King Xiong Xin and said, "I wonder if your Majesty can trust me?"
Xiang Ji did this not because he had to gain Xiong Xin's trust, but because he wanted to see if the person his uncle was serving was worthy of serving the Xiang family any longer.
Xiong Xin, who was in the carriage, heard this and immediately opened the bead curtain and said: "It's not that the lonely king doesn't believe you, but the lonely king can't take this risk. Since you are the nephew of General Xiang, you should be more considerate of the lonely king's talent."
right."
Xiang Ji's heart felt cold, and he said with a mocking look on his face: "Uncle, have you seen it? This is the person you invited back to be loyal. At first, he seemed to obey your words, but now even the Xiang family can't believe it.
Already."
The doctor of the Jing family scolded: "How dare you, Xiang Ji, you are just a junior of the Xiang Jing family, but you dare to offend the king. If it weren't for your uncle's sake, I would have you captured and punished."
Xiang Ji chuckled: "A group of cowardly chickens and dogs who are greedy for life and afraid of death dare to talk nonsense."
After saying that, he immediately let go of his Grandmaster Realm aura and said, "I have broken through to the Grandmaster Realm. One hundred thousand Qin troops were slaughtered by me. Do you have any doubts?"
The Jing family doctor was stunned for a moment, and then a feeling called jealousy spread in his chest. He had been struggling at the peak of the sixth rank for hundreds of years. How could he, a little guy in his twenties, be able to break through to the master level?
However, the Jing family doctor did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Xiang Ji, for fear that he would slap him to death. He just remained silent and looked at Xiong Xin.
The young Xiong didn't have much fear in his heart, and he said crisply: "Since you have broken through to the master realm, then the lonely king naturally believes what you said, and the lonely king will return to Wuxian to take charge of the overall situation."
Xiang Ji just sneered, a trace of murderous intent already appeared in his heart. How could he make the Xiang family work for him with just one move? Is it just because his ancestor was the monarch of the Xiang family?
But two heads of the Xiang family died because of the Chu State. No matter how great the favor was, it should be repaid.
If it weren't for the interests of the people of Chu and the Xiang family, I really wanted him to be buried with his uncle.
Forcibly suppressing the murderous intention in his heart, Xiang Ji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please."
Xiong Xin took the civil and military officials of Chu State and returned to Wu County again to stabilize the newly established Chu State.
As the state of Chu stabilized again, the news spread that Xiang Ji broke through to the master level and slaughtered an entire hundred thousand Qin troops in one battle, shocking the world.
…
In the evening, one hundred thousand Qin troops were annihilated in the nearby jungle. Zhang Han climbed up from the mud, patted the dirt on his body, and spit out several mouthfuls.
Zhang Han knew that it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of the Grandmaster Realm, so after escaping into the jungle, Zhang Han was the first to dismount his horse and hide in the dense bushes. Then he dug a hole and buried himself in it to escape the pursuit.
Sure enough, it was dark under the lamp, and the Chu State Grandmaster never expected that someone would be hiding underground nearby.
After escaping from death, Zhang Han did not look happy. Instead, he looked at the Qin army not far away, with corpses strewn across the field. His eyes were red and he was gnashing his teeth. This was the most miserable defeat he had suffered since joining the army.
Thinking of this, Zhang Han couldn't help but said bitterly: "The Grandmaster of Chu State doesn't even have the slightest trace of a Grandmaster's demeanor, and he actually kills ordinary soldiers like this. He deserves to be damned."
Zhang Han took a deep breath and calmed down. Knowing that he could not stay here for long, Zhang Han found a direction and headed towards Chang'an.
He, Zhang Han, couldn't deal with a master-level expert, but that didn't mean that the military advisor couldn't do anything. It should be noted that Chen She died at the hands of the military advisor, so what does a newly promoted Grandmaster of Chu mean?
