Legends in Chu and Han - C345
Wei Wuzhi and Zhou Yin brought their ten thousand cavalrymen to the battlefield, equipped with bows and weapons, and accompanied them with some rations for a few days. After exiting the Xianyang City Sect, they started to chase after the Han Zhong, and when they found out that the last squadron leader of the last squadron in Han Army was from the young generation of Fir,, Wang Bin, Wang Bin and Gu Songtao, the two of them smiled in their hearts.
“General Chen, chasing after Han Army this time and making you, a great general, follow us as the vanguard general was truly a waste of your talent.” As Wei Wuzhi whipped his horse, he teased Chen Ping who was beside him.
Chen Ping smiled faintly: “Of course, I am indebted to General Wei and General Zhou for thinking highly of me this time, and privately agreed to bring me out to chase after the Han Army, that’s already enough. Being a vanguard general is also not bad, and it’s a good chance for me to gain merits and regain the respect of General Li.”
Wei Wuzhi and Zhou Yin looked at each other and laughed. They thought back to when they were high up as Great Generals, but who would have thought that they would be under our jurisdiction today?
Zhou Yin laughed sinisterly: “Who asked General Chen Ping to be a good brother, to give us all the money you deserve for your official salary, to drink wine and lose money in gambling, to borrow money from you. That time, the General Chen was all straightforward, and everyone secretly thought that you were too loyal.
On the surface, Chen Ping looked grateful, but he was actually sneering in his heart. He had already been suspected by Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng in the Chu Army, so he was not highly valued.
Recently, Chen Ping had bribed all the generals and generals in the Chu Army to win over them. He had spent most of his money on food, drinks and sex, thus, although his remaining savings were all gone, he was able to rope in a bunch of rogues and friends, which made things much easier for him.
This time, when Zhou Yin and Wei Wuzhi were in the cavalry camp transferring troops, they were suddenly discovered by Chen Ping, and went up to ask him what was going on. Wei Wuzhi and Wei Wei had usually taken quite a bit of money from him, and as the saying goes, taking a lot of money means little, they told each other everything in detail. After Chen Ping received the details, he immediately stated that he was feeling depressed, and wanted to follow the two of them to chase after Han Army.
Of course, Chen Ping did not take this trip as a simple act of meritorious service. He wanted to take this opportunity to escape the control of the Chu Army and join the Sichuan, King Han.
Due to his scheming mind, he would usually stay calm and collected, with the attitude of wanting to sacrifice his life for the Chu Nation, causing the high ranking generals of Chu Army to lose his guard. Furthermore, using the method of bribing money, he had already bribed the left and right generals, lieutenants, and other generals who were monitoring his movements, to help each other out. Those generals originally thought that Chen Ping had only made a few mistakes, resulting in him losing his trust, and all of them thought that there would be a day when he could climb up, so they didn’t make things difficult for him.
Wei Wuzhi advised from the side, “General Chen Ping, don’t take this to heart. Who wouldn’t rise up and down on the path to power? As long as there are green mountains, and no fear of fire and firewood, with the intelligence of General Chen, he might be able to gain the trust of the general and regain his position as a great general in no time.”
Chen Ping replied modestly, “I won’t consider the position of general. Just being a strategist in the military is enough. I’m afraid the road is a bit rough, and it may not go as smoothly.”
“A strategist? Chu Army has strategists, didn’t you sincerely want to snatch their jobs? Hehe, in my opinion, could it be that Mr. Fan is jealous of your brilliant strategy, so he pulled you down from the middle … ” Wei Wuzhi saw Zhou Yin coughed dryly and gave him many looks. He also realised that he was making a joke out of it and anxiously went over and said: “I know that General Chen will be able to contribute greatly this time, I believe I’m not far from becoming a strategist.”
Two days later, they had already left the Western Shan Hills Wasteland and entered the canyon, arriving at the Da Ba Shan vein, which was located at the border of Shu and the Central Plains.
The eastern end of Ba Shan extends to the western part of the lake, which is connected with Shen Nong Jia and Wu Shan; the western part is connected with the skyscraper ridge; the north is bounded by the Han River valley, and the northwest is toward the southeast; there are many peaks and shrubs, subterranean rivers and trough valleys, etc.
The west of the Da Ba Shan is Mt. Mt. Mt. Mt. Mt. Mt., a watershed between the Han River and the Jialing River. In the mountains, pine and fir are used as the unique tree species, with ancient trees reaching into the sky. Most of them are oil tree, ash tree, tea tree, bamboo, red birch, red fir, fir, cork oak and other dense primitive forests.
After two days of light riding, Chu Army had arrived at a dangerous location in Sichuan, where they discovered the footprints of the Han Army’s Tail Wings Soldiers. The distance between the front and back was only about ten li, but the mountain road was bumpy, the road turned around and the mountains folded.
Zhou Yin and Wei Wuzhi started to be cautious, afraid that they would alert the enemy or be ambushed by the Han Army. After all, in front of the Han Army, the Chu Army, who was reputed to be unrivalled, did not dare to act arrogantly.
“Hurry up and charge, kill all the Han soldiers ~ ~” Wei Wuzhi shouted, as he wanted to give the order to charge forward.
“Wait!”
When Zhou Yin and Wei Wuzhi heard Chen Ping speak up to stop them, they immediately got their attention. They turned towards Chen Ping at the same time, and in terms of strategy and strategy, they couldn’t even compare to him.
“General Chen, you are the only one who is wise and resourceful. The rough terrain of this kind of mountain road and the limited speed of the horses, what plan do you have to quickly annihilate the enemy and not let them escape?” Zhou Yin did not forget to ask Chen Ping about this.
Chen Ping said calmly: “If we go over like this, it will definitely alert the enemy, and before we get there, the Han Army will probably set fire to the forest, or hide, wouldn’t we be throwing our lives away?”
Wei Wuzhi said arrogantly: “That’s fine, they only have five or six thousand people. We have ten thousand elite riders, and if we were to fight, we have a higher chance of winning.”
“If they hear the hooves of horses and burn down the gangway, wouldn’t we be able to catch up with them?” Chen Ping continued.
“Then what should we do?”
With lightning speed, I will first seize control of the other end of the gangway, and then the army will rush over, this way, Han Army will not be able to destroy the one and only gangway that leads to Han Zhong. “” What?
Zhou Yin and Wei Wuzhi looked at each other and spoke at the same time: “We’ll have to trouble General Chen. Once we pass through the passage in front, we will immediately send out a signal, and the army will immediately rush forward to annihilate the entire Han Army.”
Chen Ping nodded and turned to his five hundred janissaries, saying, “The vanguard troops listen to the orders, charge across the gangway!”
The five hundred light cavalry soldiers sped towards the plank road, with Chen Ping leading the way. In a moment, they arrived at the plank road, which was called the path of digging holes in the cliffs, inserting wooden beams, and covering with wooden planks and rocks.
Walking on it, on one side was a canyon cliff, and on the other side was a cliff that was almost a thousand miles long. When the mountain wind blew, it felt as if it was swaying and could not stand steadily. Those who were brave could feel every step of the way, while those who were timid could not move at all.
Chen Ping and his men led their war horses and carefully walked through the wooden path while trembling in fear. The backs of more than five hundred soldiers and their palms were more or less drenched in cold sweat.
If there was an elite army guarding this place, who would be able to fight their way over and choose Sichuan Han Zhong as the base? Long Tianyu is indeed far-sighted, easily avoiding the effects of the chaotic battle in the Central Plains.
As Chen Ping walked along the road, the respect and admiration he had for Long Tianyu increased by a few points, and just at this moment, a group of elite soldiers walked out from the grass deep in the cliff face to the other end, and were all led by Gu Songtao, Sima Mao, Wang Bin and the rest.
Seeing Chen Ping, Sima Mao was overjoyed: “Brother Chen, we have been waiting for a long time.”
Chen Ping stared blankly for a moment, then put down his guard. Smiling, he said, “Brother Sima, so you have been lying in ambush for a long time.”
Gu Songtao said: “Before we left, Madam Chunyu already predicted that the Chu Army would send troops to chase after us, and warned us to wait here for the General Chen, and also said that once you passed through the gangway, you would immediately set fire to the boardwalk to obstruct the Chu Army’s pursuit, and then head towards Han Zhong to meet up.”
Sima Mao was happy: “Big brother Chen, in the future, we will be together again in the battlefield.
Chen Ping looked at the tall forest, and sighed: “Madam Chunyu is truly a man of God, she actually already guessed that I would use this opportunity to leave Xianyang, and that’s right, Zhou Yin and the others are at the back and leading their troops to attack us, we will burn the road, and send someone to inform the Han King, Chen Ping just received the news that there might be an ambush from the Chu Army at the Great Ba Gorge!”
Gu Songtao, Wang Bin and others
Then, he immediately ordered his subordinates to place some pine oil on the jetty. He then lit up the jetty, causing smoke to billow out like snakes, which quickly swept across the jetty like a long dragon, causing Zhou Yin, Wei Wuzhi and the rest who were chasing after them to instantly be dumbstruck.
Chen Ping shouted from the cliff facing them, “Generals, please inform Xiang Yu that there will be no one left in Chu and that there will be places for people to stay. Chen Ping and Chu Juyi will no longer be generals. Farewell.”
“Chen Ping, you despicable scumbag.” Chu Army who was at the opposite cursed angrily.
Chen Ping smiled and ignored him. He turned towards Sima Mao and the rest of the soldiers and said, “There’s no time to lose, let’s go meet up with the Han family. Also, think of a way to inform the Han family about Zhongli Mei’s ambush …”
