Chen Xi smiled miserably and said to Xiang Zhuang again: "Xiang Zhuang, you are ruthless."

After saying this, Chen Xi said with a ferocious face: "But don't be too proud. Liu Bang has returned to Ao Cang. If it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will know the news soon, and then he will bring Peng Yue and Lv Ze's 100,000 troops to attack Hulao Pass. You can't escape. I am waiting for you underground, hahaha..."

"It won't bother you." Xiang Zhuang said, and gently raised his right hand.

In an instant, the armored soldiers of the Chu army surrounding Chen Xi and more than a dozen others retreated one after another, and nearly a hundred archers holding horn bows appeared in front. With the fall of Xiang Zhuang's right hand, nearly a hundred archers pulled their bows and shot arrows one after another. In an instant, the densely packed arrows like locusts shot more than a dozen others including Chen Xi and others.

Most of Chen Xi and more than a dozen generals were seriously injured in the battle just now. Even if they were lucky enough to be injured, they were already exhausted. After barely blocking for a moment, the dozens of people were shot into hedgehogs by the dense rain of arrows like locusts. Chen Xi was even hit by at least sixty or seventy arrows, and they were all shot differently.

Seeing this tragic scene, Wei Yue couldn't help but sigh.

Xiang Zhuang turned around slowly and looked at Wei Yue again. There seemed to be a hint of guilt in his eyes, but soon, the hint of guilt disappeared without a trace. Xiang Zhuang then took two steps forward, gently grabbed Wei Yue's slender waist, lowered his head and said, "Madam, we should go to the military camp in the north of the city to reward the three armies."

"Yes." Wei Yue nodded slightly, but his eyes were a little confused.

Seeing Wei Yue'e's eyebrows frowned slightly and her depressed look, Xiang Zhuang felt a little pity. His method of threatening Wei Yue was actually not clever at all. The reason why Wei Yue became his pawn and was at his mercy was entirely because she was too kind. She was so kind that Xiang Zhuang could use the people of Wei or the powerful men of Wei as a threat, and she would obediently enter the hub.

Wei Yue is so kind-hearted. She shouldn't have been born in this chaotic world.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xiangzhuang and Wei Yue slowly drove into the north of the city under the escort of hundreds of sharps.

The strong men who were waiting for the wine and meat in the military camp immediately cheered like a tsunami. Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao's judgment was completely correct. These strong men from Wei were not loyal to Chen Xi at all. Or because Chen Xi was too short in command of the army and had to be busy with war, it was too late to instill loyalty in these strong men.

Therefore, when Xiang Zhuang appeared with Wei Yue, all the powerful men of the Wei army gave warm cheers.

With Xiangzhuang and Wei Yue, there were trucks of water and wine and trucks of beef!

This time, Wei Liao brought in more than 500 ox carts, carrying more than 1,000 large clay pots. Except for the 500 clay pots, the rest of the clay pots were filled with water wine! Wei Liao almost emptied all the wine shops in Luoyang. The water wine of these more than 500 clay pots was enough to be a beautiful glutton for a long time.

Seeing the carts of water and carts of beef, the 30,000 strong men cheered more and more enthusiastically.

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand, and Gongsun Sui hurried forward with two hundred sharp soldiers, and then shouted in unison: "All the junior schools above the team are out of the line and ready to receive the wine and meat!"

Soon, nearly 600 team leaders and 300 treasury leaders stepped forward and began to collect wine and meat.

Looking at the nearly a thousand garrison commanders and team leader, Xiang Zhuang quickly made a decision. In order to control the Wei army as soon as possible, these thousand low-level garrisons cannot be replaced for the time being. However, veterans were drawn from the Chu army to serve as fake garrison commanders, but the fake garrison commanders was necessary, otherwise it would be difficult for these 30,000 strong men to truly form combat effectiveness.

In addition, the candidates for the chief generals of each army must also be considered.

While the Wei army was enjoying wine and meat, Xiang Zhuang, Wei Liao and Wu She had already started secret discussions.

Xiang Zhuang first asked Wu She: "Mr. Wu She, who is the guardian of Hulao Pass, has he found out?"

Xiang Zhuang was so angry that he hated the guards of Hulao Pass. Jing Qian and Pang Yu brought the 500 light soldiers whom he brought to the Wushe were actually destroyed in one battle, and even Jing Qian was almost killed in battle! The Chu army had never suffered such a big loss since the Dabie Mountains breaking through, so how could Xiang Zhuang give up?

What's more, the guard at Hulao Pass was said to be very young, at most in his twenties.

According to Jing Qian and Pang Yu's description, this person has the style of a general in command in front of the battlefield. In time, wouldn't he be another Han Xin? If he grows up, wouldn't he be a great threat to the Chu army? Therefore, if he has the opportunity to kill this young general in advance, Xiang Zhuang would never be lenient.

Wu She replied: "It has been found out that the general of Hulao Pass was named Lu and Tai, and is the eldest son of the Sanchuan County Governor Lu Ze. It is said that this person has liked archery and horses since he was a child, and he also studied military tactics under Zhang Liang's seat. He was known as the three young heroes of the Han army together with Zhou Bo's eldest son Zhou Guanfu and Wang Qi. However, Wang Qi had been beheaded by the general in the Dabie Mountains."

"Three Junjie?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and whispered, "Lu Tai? The eldest son of the Sanchuan County Governor Lu Ze?"

Wei Liao stroked his long beard and sighed, "This is really a tiger father without a dog son. This Lu Tai is already so old at a young age. What can I do if I have time?"

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Military advisor, I won't say anything about Lu Tai in advance."

"Yes." Wei Liao nodded, "The most urgent task is to reorganize the army. Whether it is the Wei army or the Chu army, they urgently need another rectification to improve their combat effectiveness as much as possible."

In fact, since the Dabie Mountains were reorganized, the Chu army has fought thousands of miles and fought several fierce battles, and has lost a large number of veterans. When they set out from the Dabie Mountains, the Chu army had more than 5,000 people, but now, especially after yesterday's Battle of Hulao Pass, the Chu army has only more than 3,500 people left.

Of course, the Chu army was not without replenishing its troops.

Pang Yu and Jin Xiang's two hundred remaining soldiers were from Jin's disciples, and they were all brave and good at fighting.

Tian Heng's eight hundred old subordinates were also from disciples of the Tian family, and they were also extremely elite.

Xiang Zhuang will never let go of these more than a thousand elite soldiers. He has to be charged into the trap!

However, Xiang Zhuang cannot deprive Pang Yu of military power for no reason, Jin Xiang, especially Tian Heng, must give them enough compensation. Pang Yu is well-read and has great strategies. Jin Xiang is still young. Xiang Zhuang decided to bring them the two of them by his side and train them well. As for Tian Heng, he can only win over. Xiang Zhuang decided to appoint him as the general of the Right Army!

Xiang Zhuang said: "Military advisor, Mr. Wu She, I plan to form the front, back, left, right, and central army, and appointed Huan Chu, Xiao Kai, Ji Bu, Tian Heng as the front general, the rear general, the left and the right general. I personally serve as the chief general. Except for the central army, the other four armies lead 5,000 people. How about it?"

Wei Liao nodded happily, but Wu She said, "General, is it inappropriate to appoint Tian Heng as the right general?"

"Sir, this is wrong." Xiang Zhuang shook his head flatly, "If a hero like Tian Heng doesn't need to be killed directly, it's just like he wants to use it, he must give him enough trust. If, like Peng Yue, he always treats Tian Heng as a guest servant who borrows it, Tian Heng will likely give you a fatal blow at a critical moment."

Wei Liao said deeply: "General is wise, Tian Heng will either use it or kill it."

After saying this, Wei Liao said again: "However, Tian Heng's eight hundred old subordinates cannot be taken away. I think he can only take away at most two hundred people!"

Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "Military advisor, you and I are really heroes who see each other, hahaha..."

Wei Liao said again: "Also, after the army is reorganized, the banner of the Wei army can no longer be used. I think that the general has married the princess of Wei and is also the general of the general of the Wei State. Wei and Chu are now a family, so there is no need to distinguish them so clearly. In the future, everyone will be the Chu army."

Wu She also said: "General, should you embroider a big banner for you?"

"There is no need for this." Xiang Zhuang shook his head decisively. This is really unnecessary.

Xiang Zhuang is now just a general of Chu State and has not yet been called king. How can he use a big sword that is only qualified for only princes? What is the use of this thing besides satisfying his vanity?

#############

In the afternoon of the same day, the Hulao army was officially opened.

Thirty thousand powerful men from Wei were organized into five armies, front, back, left, right, and middle.

Except for the central army led by Xiang Zhuang, which had nearly 10,000 people, the other four armies had 5,000 people.

Although Huan Chu, Xiao Kai and Ji Bu were still halfway, they were already appointed by Xiang Zhuang as the commander of the front, back, left and right army by Xiang Zhuang. At the same time, more than 100 Chu army elites carefully selected by Xiang Zhuang were also transferred to each army and served as military marquis, Sima and the captain.

In addition, nearly a thousand veterans of the Chu army were transferred to the Five Army and served as the commander of the fake garrison and the leader of the fake team.

The remaining more than 2,500 veterans of the Chu army were all charged to Xiangzhuang's personal army. At the same time, nearly a thousand Jin clans and Tian clans were also charged to Xiangzhuang's personal army. Although Tian Heng was a little unwilling, after a close conversation with Xiangzhuang Wei Liao for half an hour, he finally agreed to Xiangzhuang's request and exchanged 600 old subordinates for 5,000 troops!

After this reorganization of the army, Xiangzhuang's personal army expanded to 3,500 people!

The organization of the personal army was still the Cang camp, and they first entered the camp and the Nufeng camp. However, because a large number of horn bows were seized in Hulao Pass in Luoyang, Gao Chu's Nufeng camp had expanded from 500 to 1,000.

#############

In the evening, the army was over.

Huan Chu, Ji Bu and Xiao Kai also rushed from Luoyang to Hulao Pass. As for Luoyang's defense, Xiang Zhuang had sent Jing Qian and Pang Yu back. Although Jing Qian was a little reckless, with Pang Yu's assistance, he would not make any mistakes. No matter what, the possibility of Luoyang being attacked in a short period of time is still very small.

Soon, Xiangzhuang held the first military meeting after the reorganization of the army.

In addition to leaving Huan Chu, Xiao Kai and his two armies stationed at Hulao Pass, and all the other armies returned to Luoyang. After all, the weapons and armor seized from Hulao Pass were only enough to be equipped with 10,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 troops were all wearing rags and holding wooden halberds and bamboo swords. These strong men urgently needed to obtain weapons and armor from Luoyang Armory.
