At present, most of the nobles of Qin, Jin and Chu are paying attention to the situation in Shangjing.
They speculated that the battle of Shangjing might affect the future direction of the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, there was someone who was so caught up in the current problem that he had no time to spare.
He is Wu Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army.
Before the end of the year, the imperial court ordered him to attack Hangu Pass, but the overwhelming snow made it impossible for the army to move forward.
How to play?
Still have to win?
Isn't this obviously making things difficult for yourself?
So, for several days in a row, the generals in the camp saw that Wu Qi never left his house.
They thought something had happened and wanted to see him, but he refused.
There was no other way, so Wu Qi could only come up with the strategy of pretending to be sick.
Since the commander-in-chief is ill, the speed of the army's attack will be slowed down. It will not be too late to continue attacking Hangu Pass in the spring of next year.
But he could wait, but the Chu court could not, and kept sending people to urge him.
The reason was that Chu had to let Jin know that Qin's army could be easily defeated.
In this way, the latter's determination to join the former in attacking the Qin State will be strengthened.
Faced with many generals asking for a meeting, Wu Qi knew that hiding all the time would not be a good idea.
So he summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.
Xiang Yu, who had recovered, also came here.
The two generals standing behind him were Long Ju and Han Xin.
After Xiang Yu woke up, he learned that Wu Qi attached great importance to Han Xin's affairs, so he began to pay some attention to this person.
After some understanding, he was surprised to find that Han Xin was actually a talented person and was good at marching, fighting and commanding troops.
It is really a dereliction of duty that such a good seedling has been staying by my side all the time without me knowing it.
Therefore, the original interpersonal relationships underwent some changes due to the appearance of Wu Qi.
At this moment, Liu Bang, who was just a small soldier in the Chu army, inexplicably felt that something was missing from his body.
But it’s indescribable.
According to Taoism, that thing is called qishu.
"I haven't left my tent these past few days. I've been thinking about something."
After a pause, Wu Qi looked around at the generals in the camp and continued, "Your Majesty has previously issued an order for us to launch a victorious war.
But after much thought, I have been unable to figure out how to fight a battle in the winter snow that could defeat the Qin army. I wonder what plans you all have?"
The reason for avoiding the battle was not stated directly because many of the soldiers in front of him were the emperor's confidants.
He couldn't just say that he was sick and didn't want to fight this battle, right?
If this were to reach the emperor's ears, how would he view me?
After a moment's deliberation, Chu's veteran general, Yang Yang, expressed his thoughts, "Your Majesty is determined to launch a campaign at this time in order to seize the initiative in Shangjing.
However, if we fight now, our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. My intention is to use the Qin army's refusal to fight as an excuse to delay the start of the war."
As soon as spring comes and the rain and snow melt, the Chu army can go to battle.
And that time is also the most favorable time to attack the city.
Now...it's no different from seeking death.
Wu Qi nodded and said, "That's what I meant, Marshal. Do you have any different opinions?"
The soldiers shook their heads one after another.
Seeing this, Wu Qi said, "We can't fight, and we can't not fight either. So I think we can send a general to lead the army and challenge us day and night outside Hangu Pass. If the Qin army doesn't come out, it means they are afraid of us.
In this case, we can also give you the result your majesty desires. I wonder who among you is willing to take this military order?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one volunteered.
The fundamental reason is that it is too difficult. If the Qin army is defeated and the battle is lost, who can take responsibility to the court?
After a pause, Xiang Yu stood up and bowed, saying, "Marshal, I am the vanguard. I must lead this battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qi shook his head and refused, "No, General Xiang has just recovered, how can he participate in the battle?"
Xiang Yu said frankly: "The miraculous doctor Bian Que brought back the dead with his hands. Now my body has not only fully recovered, but is even better than before.
If I meet the Qin Emperor again, I will definitely kill him on the spot! To avenge the humiliation I suffered that day!"
There has been a breakthrough in life and death, so it is normal for strength to increase.
Even an ordinary person will change and realize something after experiencing life and death.
What’s more, it was Xiang Yu?
However, Ying Yuan's strength has also increased.
The most obvious sign is the growth of true dragon energy.
The Holy King Body has also completely mastered an ability - immunity to all poisons.
It can be said that if Ying Yuan and Xiang Yu were to fight again, the intensity of the battle would definitely be greater than their first battle.
As for the result, it should be similar to the first battle.
"Since General Xiang is determined to lead the troops, I will allocate 80,000 soldiers to you. Remember, if you encounter any uncertainties, do not fight to the death."
Wu Qi couldn't help but give instructions.
After spending such a long time together, he knew very well that Xiang Yu had a problem, which was his love of fighting.
Of course, Xiang Yu, who was not fond of fighting, could not be called the Overlord.
In front of him, even if there are 100,000 people and his side only has 10,000 soldiers, he dares to charge.
That afternoon.
Xiang Yu then gathered his troops and shouted curses in front of Hangu Pass.
The sudden action of the Chu army in the snow and ice really puzzled Huo Guang and others.
