On the road leading to Yi County from Fanyi, the Chu army was advancing eastward day and night.

When I came, I had to hide my traces as much as possible, so I could only walk on the remote path. However, when I returned to Jiangdong, I didn’t have such many concerns. I could just walk along the road that was so openly.

However, when the 20,000 elite soldiers came, there were only 10,000 people left when they returned.

Looking at the nearly half of the Chu army's marching formation, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little painful. The 20,000 elite soldiers he brought, and 5,000 people stayed in Lujiang with Gao Chu, including more than a thousand wounded soldiers. The remaining 4,000 people were killed. In the battle of Fanxian, although the Chu army defeated Mei Jing's more than 100,000 troops, it also paid an extremely heavy price.

Xiang Zhuang had to feel sorry for the deaths this time. If such a fierce battle happened a few more times, the 20,000 elite soldiers he brought back to Jiangdong from Jiuyuan would be very few. The only thing that is to be thankful is that the Hengshan Army was finally defeated, and the sacrifice of these more than 4,000 veterans was not without a price.

"Give orders to the entire army and speed up!" Xiang Zhuang issued a military order again.

The marching speed of the Chu army veterans has always been excellent, and Xiang Zhuang rarely issued military orders to urge him. However, today, he has issued military orders to speed up the marching speed three times in a row. There is no way. Xiang Zhuang was really worried about the battle situation in Jiangdong, especially Xiang Tuo, who was worried about Qu'a and King Yingbu of Huainan, but it was really not easy to mess with.

The names of the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty were not revealed. Although Ying Bu was at the end, he was also a famous general. Although Xiang Tuo was one of the few generals among the Xiang family, it was not enough to compare with Ying Bu, let alone Ying Bu’s experience in many battles, and his rich experience in battle formations was completely beyond Xiang Tuo.

Moreover, the Chu army gathered in Qua were all strong people. Not only did they have any military training, but they were poorly equipped. Most of the strong men of the Chu army even had no cloth armor or iron weapons. To put it bluntly, this is a group of mobs. How can they compete with the elite troops of Yingbu's Huainan Army?

"The king has an order to speed up the marching!"

"The king has an order to speed up the marching!"

"The king has an order to speed up the marching!"

Xiang Zhuang's order was quickly conveyed. Although more than 10,000 Chu soldiers were exhausted, they still rushed forward one by one. With years of iron-blooded battles, military achievements and titles, the spiritual willpower of the Chu soldiers was beyond imagination. This marching intensity was far from enough to drag them down.

While walking, a fast horse suddenly rushed from the front. The knight on the horse was urging the horse to run, and shouted loudly at the Chu army soldiers who were marching in a hurry on the road: "Where is the king? Where is the king..."

The Chu soldiers pointed their hands at the central army where Xiang Zhuang was. The knight immediately whipped the horse's thighs and rushed straight to the central army of Xiang Zhuang. Before Xiang Zhuang approached, the knight had already flew off the horse and knelt on one knee. While putting a bamboo tube wrapped in yellow silk on both sides, he shouted loudly: "King, Wushen is a great victory!"

Wushen's victory?! Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look at Bailixian and stopped one after another.

Jin Xiang had already strode forward, took Huang Ling's package from the messenger, untied Huang Ling, opened the bamboo tube, took out a rolled-up letter from it and handed it to Xiangzhuang. Xiangzhuang hurriedly finished reading it, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed and said, "Hahaha, okay. That's great. Pang Yu, this kid, actually defeated Dong'ou Army with 5,000 and 40,000!"

After saying that, Xiang Zhuang handed the letter to Bailixian beside him.

Baili Xian also said with great emotion after reading it: "General Pang Yu really lives up to the king's high expectations."

When Xiang Zhuang first took Pang Yu as his general and led 5,000 troops out of Wuwu to fight against Si Luoyao's Dongou Army, he was unanimously opposed by the commander Xiang He, General Xiang Tuo, and Wu County County Magistrate Shusun Guan. The Chu army generals such as Huan Chu, Ji Bu, and Xiao Kai even spoke strange words behind their backs, and almost no one was optimistic about Pang Yu.

Although Pang Yu was born in aristocratic family and had a family background, he had read military books since childhood, no matter what, he was just a young man less than 20 years old. Although he had performed amazing talents when he was stationed in Hangu Pass, he was defeated by Liu Bang in the end? Moreover, the Han army used the same method, which shows that Pang Yu was still a little naive and not enough to stand alone.

However, this time, Xiang Zhuang rarely compromised, but insisted on entrusting important tasks to Pang Yu.

Now, the iron facts have proved that Xiang Zhuang's persistence is extremely wise. Xiang Zhuang originally only hoped that Pang Yu could hold the Dong'ou Army for three to four months, but Pang Yu defeated 40,000 Dong'ou Army with five thousand elite troops in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the opportunity to attack Dong'ou country. If nothing unexpected happens, the troops should have already arrived at Dong'ou City.

"Boy Pang Yu!" Xiang Zhuang said fiercely, "When the battle is over, I will personally give him a gift!"

At this point, among the seven coalition forces besieging Jiangdong, Mei Yu's Hengshan Army and Si Luoyao's Dongou Army had been defeated, and Si Wuzhu's Fujian Yue army was still far away in Fujian. It is unknown when it will be sent. Even if it sends troops, it is difficult to occupy Jinan counties through the Shanyue Armed Forces. Then, the only seven coalition forces are Yingbu, Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche.

Liyang, the Han army has been besieging the city for a full twenty days!

However, the Han army basically just surrounded and did not attack the first ten days. Although Zhou Yin, Jin Xu and Li Zuoche were nominally Han generals, everyone had their own plans. Zhou Yin hoped that Jin Xu and Li Zuoche could fight against the Chu army and both suffered losses. Jin Xu and Li Zuoche also wanted Zhou Yin to fight against the Chu army? Even Jin Xu and Li Zuoche were in harmony.

However, ten days ago, I don’t know what tacit understanding had been reached between Zhou Yin, Jin Xu and Li Zuoche, and began to mobilize the army in turn to launch an unreserved attack on Liyang City. Liyang’s defensive pressure suddenly increased. Fortunately, there were 3,000 elite troops stationed in the city, and nearly 10,000 prisoners guarding the border, so the situation was shocking.

Early in the morning, Méng Keng, Méng Keng and dozens of personal soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

There were rolling wood, beating stones, broken swords, spears, swords and halberds, horse roads, and female walls everywhere, mottled blood everywhere, some of which had dried up, some were still bright red. Everything showed that there had been a continuous and tragic battle here. Obviously, the battle to seize the city was becoming increasingly fierce!

The Chu soldiers and prisoners lay all over the ground. Yesterday, the Han army's siege continued until late at night. It was not until midnight that they finally retreated to the camp. After the Han army retreated, most of the soldiers and prisoners fell to the ground and fell asleep. When they heard the footsteps of Méng and others, they woke up from their sleep and quickly stood up to greet them.

"General!"

"General méng!"

"See General!"

The veterans of the Chu army and the Kuaiji prisoners stood up and greeted each other.

However, there are very few veterans on the city wall, and most of them are Kuaishou prisoners.

Looking at the eyes of Méng, whether it was a veteran of Qin or a prisoner in Kuaiji, there was an unconcealed burning heat flowing in his eyes, as if as long as the dead were there, they would not be afraid even if the sky fell. It was not surprising that the veterans of Qin had this reaction, but prisoners from Kuaiji would trust Méng so much, but it was really extraordinary.

While moving forward, he nodded repeatedly. From time to time, he clapped the veteran's shoulders and punched the prisoner's mouth. The prisoners who were beaten by the prisoner were tingling with pride, and their faces suddenly burst into pride. Looking at the expressions on their faces, they wanted to die for the murder.

Speaking of which, a few months ago, these prisoners were still dead clan militants.

However, with the collapse of the clan powers of these clan men, their mentality also changed. After all, most clan men are honest farmers. They are controlled by very few clan leaders because of their deep-rooted clan concepts and become servants and soldiers of clan leaders.

However, with the murder of these clan leaders, they were sent to Jiangbei to guard the border by Xiangzhuang. In addition, the wife, children and children were forced to move out of the original state by Xiangzhuang. The original deep-rooted clan concept was completely disintegrated. Until now, the subconscious of these clan men no longer had the concept of clans. Their only hope was to serve their sentences as soon as possible and then return to the migration place to reunite with their wives, children and children.

That is why they support me, because only me, can take them to defend the city, save their lives, and have the opportunity to return to the place of migration to reunite with their wives and children.

After patrolling the city, Méng finally returned to the city gate.

The veterans and prisoners guarding the north gate came forward and gathered in front of the méng dynasty.

Méng jumped onto the pagoda, and his scorching eyes flashed across the faces of every prisoner and said loudly: "I've heard it all, from now on, you will no longer be prisoners!"

This was also what Méng Kung promised earlier. As long as Li Yang could not lose his prisoners for ten days under the fierce attack of the Han army, all prisoners would be pardoned. If Li Yang could hold on for one month, all the prisoners' families would be free! Of course, for such a big thing, Méng Kung Kung Kung could not be good at it, and he had already obtained Xiang Zhuang's consent.

Many prisoners waved their fists hard, and they were finally no longer the identity of prisoners.

After a pause, méng pointed to the veterans of the Chu army beside him, and then shouted: "Like them, from now on, you are also soldiers of the Great Chu State. From now on, as long as you gain military merits on the battlefield, you can get a title. Even if you die in battle, your title can also be inherited by your descendants!"

"General méng is mighty!"

"General méng is mighty!"

"General méng is mighty!"

Thousands of prisoners began to yell.

Méng frowned and then raised his arms and roared: "The Great Chu is mighty!"
