After several twists and turns, Xiang Ji's Xuzhou army finally set off and headed straight towards Yuan Shu, who was still busy building the country in Shouchun.
As for the reason for the setbacks?
All the generals under Xiang Ji wanted to go, but Xuzhou had to be guarded by generals.
After some argument, the generals almost started fighting again, but were finally stopped by an angry Xiang Yu.
Taishi compassionately urged him to be appointed as the garrison of Xuzhou, and the general of Xuzhou's troops and horses sat in Xiapi.
After all, whoever lets this guy win the competition will be recommended by the other three generals in the end.
For the safety of his hometown, Xiang Ji not only kept Taishi Ci, but also appointed Mi Zhu as his military adviser and Mi Fang as his deputy general, commanding 30,000 troops to guard Xiapi.
As for Cui Yan? After his last experience, Xiang Ji can no longer trust him, so he might as well just be a military counselor.
After relocating his hometown, Xiang Ji personally led an army to conquer Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, aiming directly at Shouchun, the capital of his country.
The accompanying generals Jin and Zangba each led fifteen thousand men, for a total of thirty thousand men.
In addition, there are Zhou Tai's 10,000 naval troops, Zhao Yun's 2,000 elite cavalry, and Xiang Ji's own 8,000 Xiang family troops, for a total of 50,000 troops.
Xiang Ji, who was almost out in force, looked at the mighty army marching, and he suddenly felt heroic in his heart.
This! This is my army.
With such a powerful army, where in the world can we not go?
Humph, Yuan Shu? I really admire your courage.
You have neither a strong army nor brave generals, and only a few wise men and women who are on the same level as Cui Yan. How the hell do you dare to claim the throne?
However, you are taking advantage of me.
Although Yuan Shu controlled most of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, Xiang Ji had no fear of him.
So what if there are two states? So what if you have hundreds of thousands of troops? They are just chickens and dogs.
Originally, even if there was no matter about the jade seal, Xiang Ji planned to attack Yuan Shu after Xuzhou was stabilized.
This guy is a real fat sheep.
The soldiers are weak, the generals are weak, and the commander is even weaker.
The Jianghuai area is a land of plenty. As long as we capture it, we no longer have to worry about logistics and food supplies.
"My lord, we are thirty miles away from the intersection of Xu and Yang states. According to the report from Tanma, Yuan Shu has set up a pass ahead."
After receiving Pei Yuanshao's report, Xiang Ji immediately sneered.
This Yuan Shu has a very advanced sense of prevention.
Have the passes been set up? I’m afraid this won’t be a matter of a day or two, right?
However, does it make sense?
"Who helped me break the pass ahead?"
It's just a pass. As the lord, Xiang Ji is naturally too lazy to go there in person. Otherwise, what's the point of having so many younger brothers?
"The general is willing to go!" "My lord, Zangba is willing to go!" "My lord, I will go, my navy will definitely be able to break this pass."
As Xiang Ji asked a question, several generals behind him rushed to take the lead.
Just kidding, this is the first battle against Yuan Shu!
Taking this pass is tantamount to making the first achievement.
However, the generals who wanted to fight looked at Zhou Tai with unfriendly expressions.
Why are you, a navy general, arguing with our army? Why are you trying to save face?
Why don't you learn from Zhao Yun? Look at Zhao Yun who leads cavalry and doesn't fight at all.
But what the generals didn't know was that Zhao Yun, who was behind him, had already turned red.
Do these guys react so quickly? I'm still thinking about my lines here, and you're already competing?
Okay, Zhao Yun's blushing face is entirely because he realized that there was no chance before he even opened his mouth, so he was holding it back...
Dust and smoke billowed.
Seizing the vanguard position, Yu Jin led the Pengcheng army under his command and fought non-stop towards the Yangzhou Pass, thirty miles away.
Just kidding, is it easy for me to grab a vanguard position?
This is because it is a good thing that Tai Shici is not here and Zangba doesn't have enough core competitiveness. Otherwise, we still don't know who will win the vanguard position.
"Be brave! The front is the land of my lord Yuan Shu, how dare you invade my territory!"
Yu Jin, who was marching quickly, arrived in front of the pass formation. Looking at Yuan Shu's army who had already lined up in front of the pass, he couldn't help but sneer.
Damn it, are you stupid? If you don’t guard a good pass, how dare you come out and fight me?
I was waiting for the order to attack directly, but I never thought that a big general would emerge from Yuan Shu's army formation.
"I am the Marquis of Shiting in Chengguo, the vanguard general in front of the imperial army, and the powerful general Lei Bo.
Why don't you obey the destiny and submit to my family to become emperor?
I think my lord will come back and give you a great reward!"
Shocked by this series of names from Lei Bo, Yu Jin almost fell off his horse.
Damn it? Are you trying to scare me? You are a Marquis, you are a general in front of the imperial palace? Are you going to show off your power to the general? Damn it? You are now a general?
This is really the beginning of the Cao Kingdom. Official positions and titles are worthless!
It is impossible to say that Yu Jin is not envious.
The guy in front of me has probably achieved Yu Jin's lifelong goal of becoming a marquis and a general!
It would be a joke to let Yu Jin surrender to Yuan Shu.
Not to mention his loyalty to Xiang Ji, even Yuan Shu's strength seems to be nothing more than haha.
Does having more soldiers mean you will be more powerful?
"Who will take down this vanguard general for me?"
Although the opponent's official position was intimidating, Yu Jin, as the leader of the vanguard army, still maintained his own identity.
If you don't give your subordinates a chance to show their faces, who will still hang out with you?
As Yu Jin finished speaking, a large number of generals behind him rushed out.
"I am the vanguard general of the Pengcheng army, sitting down as a side general. I am a sand sculpture Hongbo.
Thief general, please accept your fate!"
Seeing such a brave man under his command, Yu Jin immediately felt that he shared weal and woe.
Although the quality of the generals under a certain family is far behind that of the master, they can still be used in ordinary battle formations.
But Yu Jin's complacency had just fermented when it was doused by a basin of cold water.
"Wow haha! Isn't there anyone who can fight?"
Seeing Lei Bo kill his general Sha Diao instantly with a single blow, Yu Jin's face suddenly turned red.
Damn it? Your name is so powerful, but you can’t even hold on to a single move?
Without waiting for Yu Jin to react, another general rushed out behind him.
"I am Duanmu Ruozhi. I will give back the life of my comrade, a thief general!"
But this Ruozhi was only a little better than the sand sculpture. After three rounds, Yu Jin's face became even more rosy with a scream.
"Wow haha! I thought Xiang Ji of the Western Chu had such fierce men, but I didn't expect that they were all just chickens and dogs!
What nonsense, if you are straight, would anyone dare to fight against a certain family?"
After killing two generals in a row, Lei Bo laughed wildly, and Yuan Shujun behind him also shouted and cheered for him with all his strength, and his morale was like a rainbow.
On the other hand, the Yujin army was completely silent.
Seeing the morale of the army behind him plummeting due to the defeat of successive generals, Yu Jin suddenly became anxious.
"Lei Bo! Don't be arrogant, General Anton is here to stay!"
Yu Jin no longer pretended to be reserved. If he was killed one or two by Lei Bo, he might not have to fight this battle.
