Chapter 305 Race against time

The rain is drizzling, and on the small road leading to Langzhong in Jiangzhou, the Chu army is moving forward in the rain. The Holy Hall

This damn thief God! Xiang Zhuang wiped the rain from his face and cursed viciously in his heart, "When will it not rain? It's going to fall at this time?" This really cost his Xiang Zhuang's life. The mountain roads are slippery, let alone mules and horses, it's difficult for soldiers to walk. In just a moment, more than a dozen mules and horses fell off the cliff.

Bailixian shook his wet feather fan and walked a few steps to catch up with Xiangzhuang, proposing: "King, the rain is rainy and the road is slippery, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. Why not rest for half an hour first and wait for the rain to stop before marching?"

Xiang Zhuang looked up at the gloomy sky, shook his head and said, "No."

It is the late spring season with rainy and continuous rainy season, and I don’t know when this rain will fall. Once the Chu army stops, I don’t know when it will be, but the Han army will not wait. At most three or five days, Liu Bang will definitely receive a Pegasus message. Once the Han army reacts, it will be impossible to seek Hanzhong.

The Chu army continued to advance, but the rain in the mountains was getting heavier and heavier. What was particularly bad was that the vast mist spread out from the mountains, covering the mountain path, making the Chu army's march more and more difficult. In just half a day, ten mules and horses and several soldiers had already missed their feet and fell into the deep ravine.

However, Xiang Zhuang had no intention of ordering to stop the march.

As an excellent politician, it is still clear which one is more important.

Xiang Zhuang knew very well that now marching in the rain, only a few mules or soldiers would die from falling off the cliff. However, once the Chu army could not arrive at Langzhong in time and block Langzhong Road, once the Han King's army occupied Langzhong before the Chu army, the battle against Shu would have to end in failure, and then, at that time, there would never be only dozens of soldiers who died.

"Listen, don't stop, speed up the marching, this rain will stop soon!"

"The men of Da Chu, gritted their teeth and held on. There is a flat road not far ahead!"

"When I take Hanzhong, I will hold a celebration banquet for you. Everyone has meat to eat and wine to drink!"

Xiang Zhuang ignored the danger and was running back and forth on the mountain road, cheering the Chu soldiers, but at this moment, the team in front suddenly stopped. (")

"What's going on?" Xiang Zhuang immediately rushed forward and shouted loudly, "Why stop?"

General Pang Yu came forward and reported loudly: "King, there is a turbulent stream ahead, and only a single-plank bridge can pass through. However, this single-plank bridge has been rotten for a long time and may break at any time. Mules and horses are absolutely impossible to pass through. People may still be able to pass through, so they can only pass one by one."

"Let's go, take a look!" Xiang Zhuang led Pang Yu straight ahead.

Less than five miles away, there was indeed a turbulent mountain stream ahead. The stream was not wide, but the water in the stream was extremely turbulent, and not far below was a deep abyss. It was not wise to take the risk of wading through the stream. Looking at the single-plank bridge on the stream, as Pang Yu said, it was obviously rotten for a long time.

If such a single-plank bridge passes through one by one, then when will it take?

Xiang Zhuang's thick eyebrows frowned in an instant. It was really raining all night long. At this critical moment, it was already unlucky enough to encounter this continuous rain. I never thought that there was such a dangerous place to wait here? Could it be that this is the will of heaven? God will not allow the Chu army to successfully capture Bashu?

After wiping the rain on his face, Xiang Zhuang made a quick decision: "Zi'ang, I will lead two thousand heavenly wolf soldiers to cross the bridge first. You stay and build the bridge. After the bridge is built, then lead a large group of people to cross the stream!"

"Your Majesty, let the last general cross the bridge first!"

Pang Yu was shocked when he heard this, and Baili Xian and others also stepped forward to dissuade him.

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said unquestionably: "It's settled!" He turned around and ordered Hu Yan Zhengde, "Hu Yan, click two thousand sharp soldiers and follow me to pass the stream!"

After saying that, Xiang Zhuang had already stepped onto the single-plank bridge without looking back. The latest chapter of the Holy Church

At present, the Chu army must race against time and must not hesitate.

In Hanzhong, on the road leading to Nanzheng, three thousand Han troops were advancing in the drizzle.

In the Han army formation, a big red flag had been rolled into a bunch of them in the rain. However, through the flag exposed outside, it could be vaguely distinguished that the word "white" embroidered on it should be the word "white".

That's right, this is the guardian team of Bai Mo, the left prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

After ten years of reform, although the gentry and powerful people in Guanzhong and Bashu have gradually become accustomed to the new law, this does not mean that they have given up on resistance. Especially now, the Han army has launched a large-scale northern attack on the Huns, and the Bashu in Guanzhong is relatively empty. The gentry and powerful people who usually have tails together may take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Therefore, after obtaining Liu Bang's consent, Bai Mo brought three thousand spirits to patrol. This time, it was called the inspection place, which was actually a shock to the powerful gentry in Guanzhong, Bashu, and warned them not to act rashly.

Bai Mo, the left minister and the Minister of Reform, went on a patrol, and Zhou Guanfu, as the general of the law guardian, was naturally accompanied.

At this moment, Zhou Guanfu was complaining, and his father Zhou Bo was leading an army of 500,000 to fight the Huns in Jiuyuan. General Lu Tai of the Cavalry and General Liu Bi of the Hu Ben also went there, but Zhou Guanfu was staying in the back at night and patrolling the place. Thinking about it, I felt really uncomfortable. How could he be missing from fighting the Huns?

Bai Mo smiled and said, "Shengzhi, are you blaming your true nature?"

"No." Zhou Guanfu said with his neck, "How dare you?"

"I still said no." Bai Mo shook his head and smiled, "It's all written on your face, haha."

Zhou Guanfu flattened his mouth and stopped talking. Bai Mo said again: "Surviving, don't be too disappointed. You will definitely not be able to catch up with this Jiuyuan battle with the Huns. However, there is no more than this big battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns. The Jiuyuan battle will definitely not be able to destroy the Huns. In the future, you will have the opportunity to fight with the Huns."

Zhou Guanfu then said: "The General is itchy. Since the Hexi War ten years ago, there has been no war in ten years. The pair of iron halberds in his hand have long wanted to drink human blood."

Bai Mo smiled and said, "If you win, you may also have the opportunity to move your muscles and bones in Shu."

"Shuzhong?" Zhou Guanfu said unbelievably, "The Left Prime Minister said that the gentry and powerful people in Shuzhong would rebel?"

Bai Mo nodded and said thoughtfully: "More than half a month ago, I received a secret report from the county magistrate of Shu County, saying that the Bashu gentry has been frequently active in recent times and there may be some abnormal movements."

"Are you thinking too much about Zuo Xiang?" Zhou Guanfu said disbelief, "They still have the courage?"

Bai Mo said: "If it were just the gentry and powerful people in Bashu, they might not have the courage, but if there were other forces behind them, it would be hard to say."

"Another forces?" Zhou Guanfu said, "The Left Prime Minister said, Chu State?"

"Yes." Bai Mo's expression suddenly turned solemn and he whispered, "You may not know that in Guanzhong, Bashu, there have been spies in Chu State in activities, but they are mingling among the vendors in Guandong, which is very difficult to identify. At present, the main force of our Han army is launching a large-scale campaign to fight against the Huns. Guanzhong, Bashu is empty. Do you think those spies in Chu State will remain indifferent?"

"Hehe, this is a bit interesting." Zhou Guanfu rubbed his hands, and a sound of Titicacia suddenly made a sound of Titicacia, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face, saying, "It would be better that they should do something to let the pair of iron halberds in their hands drink the human blood well, otherwise, this trip to Shu would be too boring."

The east of Langzhong City, Shili Pavilion.

Jin Xu took great danger and finally walked out of the steep and intestinal path. However, his mount fell to death under the cliff, and he also fell down from Juejian several times. Now, his robe was torn, his hair bun was completely scattered, and he hadn't had a hot meal for several days. He was so embarrassed.

He stumbled into the pavilion. Before Jin Xu could sit down and take a breath, a dozen burly men suddenly surged out of the thatched huts around the pavilion. One of them put his hands on his hips and shouted: "Well, that man, hand over all the valuable assets on you, otherwise you will not be able to save your head, hum!"

Jin Xi was furious when he heard this. Someone robbed Shili Pavilion? When did the bandits in Langzhong County become so rampant? What did the Langzhong County Magistrate do for food? Jin Xi shouted angrily: "You thieves who should kill Qiandao dare to cut the path in front of this county, which is simply seeking death. The county will turn around and dispatch troops to destroy you!"

Jin Xu originally thought that once these words were said, this group of strong men would definitely run away in panic.

However, what surprised Jin Xi was that not only did not escape, the strong men also showed strange looks on their faces. The burly man in the lead whispered: "Are you the governor of Ba County Jin Xi?"

"It's really my county." Jin Xu said coldly, "You go to Langzhong County Government with me to surrender yourself. Our county can still be surrendered. Otherwise, when this county catches you, you will beheaded and displayed!"

"Hehe, Jung Jung-guard, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity." The burly man in the head suddenly smiled grimly.

In an instant, more than a dozen men who were originally scattered around came around in unison, and they all carried sharp short swords from their waists.

"You..." Jin Xi said in a deep voice, "Is it a spy from Chu?"

"Jin Xu Shou, you should be a fool." The leader did not answer, but waved his hand and said with a grim voice, "Brothers, kill him side by side!"

With the order of the leader, more than a dozen big men rushed towards Jin Xu like hungry wolf.

Jin Xu is also a long-standing general on the battlefield who has experienced many battles. On the battlefield, he has been besieged by many enemy soldiers, so he did not take the dozen or so men in front of him seriously. He smiled coldly and said sneeringly: "Just because of you, a group of waste, want to kill this county magistrate, that's a dream!"
