Battle map, Julu City.
Xiang Yu may be strong, but the vassals will not listen to his commands obediently.
In history, Xiang Yu made a name for himself in the anti-Qin army by cutting off all means of retreat. In this battle, Xiang Yu did not have the chance to do so.
Therefore, Xiangyu was not the only one who had the final say in Julu City.
The vassals may seem insignificant, but they all have their own plans.
How to tame the 300,000 vassals, including the 80,000 Zhao soldiers, and become the only leader of the anti-Qin camp is the most pressing problem for Xiang Yu.
Without the cooperation of these two armies, wanting to attack Jianyuan City would just be empty talk.
To Xiang Yu, the most direct method is to kill people to establish his authority.
Unfortunately, there was no living target like Song Yi for Xiangyu to show off.
Just as Xiang Yu is at his wits' end, Di Chen representing the Yan Huang Alliance stood up.
Like the Mountain and Sea Alliance, the Yan Huang Alliance is also filled with generals.
One of them is closely related to Handan City and Zhao. He is the old general Lian Po.
In the Battle of Huang Jin, Lian Po proved himself and gained Di Chen's trust. At this moment, he had become the number one general under Di Chen's command, and his status was equal to Bai Qi's in Shanhai City.
Like Bai Qi, Lian Po has mixed feelings about the Battle of Julu.
The Zhao of the past is no more, becoming a speck of dust in history. The State of Zhao that had been reinstated was just a wave that occasionally splashed in the long river of history. In the end, it was just a flash in the pan.
Even so, Lian Po is filled with emotions.
Handan, the capital of Zhao, was completely demolished by Zhang Han and turned into ruins.
Lian Po feels guilty towards Zhao.
The Battle of Changping was the turning point of Zhao's decline.
Similarly, in the hearts of the Zhao people, Lian Po is a respectable old general.
Therefore, with Lian Po and Zhao Zhuang's help, the 80,000 Zhao soldiers were successfully brought under Xiang Yu's command.
Other than that, Wu Qi under Xiong Ba has a certain amount of influence in Wei and Chu. Lord Chunshen's Tian Dan also had a very strong influence in Qi.
As such, with the help of the Yan Huang Alliance's generals, the attitudes of the various feudal vassals gradually softened. Finally, it was decided that the alliance army would be under Xiang Yu's command.
After this incident, the Yan Huang Alliance's position in Xiangyu's heart skyrocketed.
The next step was to figure out how to fight this battle.
The generals discussed for a long time and came to the same conclusion. They could only attack Jiyuan City by force.
It was destined to be a head-on battle.
Jianyuan City's position was too good, they had to attack it.
Most importantly, Julu City didn't have enough food. If they didn't attack while they still had enough food, the consequences would be unimaginable.
On the fifth day of the campaign, the battle between the two cities was finally about to begin.
Where was Ouyang Shuo at this moment?
Before the battle began, Ouyang Shuo had already set his sights on Liu Bang, who was far away in Pengcheng. At this time, Liu Bang did not have any powerful soldiers under his command, but he was surrounded by a group of valiant generals and famous scholars. He was a perfect target.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo was determined to get another item from Liu Bang.
After Bai Qi took control of the army, Ouyang Shuo quietly left Jiyuan City according to the plan.
Apart from the three thousand Featherwood Guards, Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang also accompanied him. According to Ouyang Shuo's request, they each selected five hundred of their most elite soldiers to accompany him.
The elite soldiers they brought were not inferior to the Featherwood Guards.
It was not a good idea to make such a big move.
Apart from covering the eyes and ears of others, there was another reason.
The road from Jiyuan City to Pengcheng was the territory of the Anti-Qin Camp.
If they made a big move, it would be like poking a hornet's nest. Although the main force of the revolutionary army was gathered in Julu City, there were still some scattered rebels along the way.
Not to mention the bandits and bandits who took advantage of the chaos of the war.
Ouyang Shuo wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to fight all the way to Pengcheng.
Time was the key.
Julu City's food was limited. The battle between the two sides was destined to not be a long one. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had to end the battle before the main battlefield ended.
Jiyuan City was about four hundred kilometers away from Pengcheng.
Ouyang Shuo only had a simple map and a guide that Zhang Han had provided him.
The personal guards that Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang brought were also riding high-quality warhorses, which were comparable to the Green Beetle Horses. If everything went smoothly, they would reach Pengcheng in three to four days.
While Di Chen and the others were coordinating in Julu City, Ouyang Shuo was already a hundred kilometers away.
Ouyang Shuo was marching in the morning.
Suddenly, Wang Feng, who was acting as the vanguard, rushed over.
"Marquis, we found an enemy force ahead."
Ouyang Shuo was stunned. They had finally encountered an army.
"What's their background?"
"They're very strange." Wang Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "They're not bandits, nor do they look like a revolutionary army. They're somewhat similar to us, they're more cautious when marching. "
"Oh?"
Ouyang Shuo's lips curled into a smile. He turned to Baihua and Feng Qiuhuang and said, "See? We're not the only smart ones. There are many who have designs on Liu Bang. "
"Yeah, they're all the same as you. They're all scheming and evil."
Feng Qiuhuang smiled and said in a mocking tone.
Ouyang Shuo was speechless. Why were they all doing bad things while he was the scapegoat?
"How many enemies are there?"
"Three thousand!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded. It seemed like the leader of a third-class county.
Not only was he ambitious, he was also very resourceful.
Once the mutant army arrived, they were not allowed to leave the barracks as they pleased after registering. They had to obey the commander's orders. Otherwise, if the army of hundreds of thousands of mutants were not restrained, they would start a massacre on the battlefield.
Ouyang Shuo was able to come out because Bai Qi was the commander. The enemy must be a leader of the anti-Qin camp. They must have used some special tools to avoid the rules.
Since they were ahead of Shanhai City's army, they must have set off early.
Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate and said, "Chase after them and kill them!"
"Yes!"
Wang Feng bowed respectfully, then rode off.
Ouyang Shuo turned to look at Baihua and Feng Qiuhuang and said, "You two stay here. I'll go meet them!"
"Be careful!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded and patted Qing Dian.
After a few months of nurturing, Qing Dian finally acknowledged Ouyang Shuo. This was also the first time Ouyang Shuo rode Qing Dian on the battlefield.
Qing Dian was a warmonger and extremely intelligent. It knew what was about to happen and could not help but let out a carefree neigh.
Ouyang Shuo seemed to understand Qing Dian's meaning and laughed heartily.
"Haha ~"
Seeing Ouyang Shuo leave, Feng Qiuhuang muttered, "Humans are the same as horses, they are warmongers."
When Bai Hua heard this, Mian grinned and nodded.
When Ouyang Shuo rushed to the front of the army, the Featherwood Guards were already fighting with the enemy under Wang Feng's command.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo took out the Sky Demon Spear and plunged into the battlefield.
The current Ouyang Shuo was no longer the same as before. His combat strength was astonishing. Especially after the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor broke through to the eighth level, it became even more ferocious.
A group of Featherwood Guards automatically gathered around Ouyang Shuo to protect his safety.
Wherever Ouyang Shuo's spear pointed, heads would fall.
It had been a long time since the Sky Demon Spear had drunk blood. At this moment, it was emitting an eerie glow. Ouyang Shuo's Demon God bloodline was about to boil after being stimulated.
The Asura's killing intent unconsciously spread out.
Even the hearts of the surrounding Featherwood Guards trembled.
When they looked at Ouyang Shuo, their gazes were filled with even more respect and admiration.
The war horses neighed and the spear sang.
Ouyang Shuo felt carefree and unconsciously let out a roar.
"Ha!"
Affected by this, the three thousand Featherwood Guards became more and more courageous as they fought. The enemy retreated step by step and was about to be defeated.
At this moment, the lord of the enemy recognized Ouyang Shuo.
It couldn't be helped. The current Ouyang Shuo was too dazzling. He was like a god of death, killing everywhere on the battlefield. No one was a match for him.
"Marquis Lian Zhou!"
The lord was startled and his heart trembled. Unfortunately, the arrow was nocked on the bow and had to be released.
He decided to give it his all.
"Concentrate your firepower and kill Marquis Lian Zhou!"
"Yes!"
To be able to reach this step, this lord was extraordinary. The three thousand soldiers under him weren't just some weaklings. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident that he could kill Liu Bang with only three thousand soldiers.
At this moment, a fierce general walked out from the lord's side.
This valiant general was his greatest trump card.
Who was this fierce general?
It was the famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, Xu Huang.
"Hey, give me your life!"
Xu Huang roared as he swung his axe and charged over.
"Protect the Marquis!"
Seeing this, Wang Feng also roared and was about to step forward to fight.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed. He felt the blood in his body boiling. He couldn't make a breakthrough in martial arts because he hadn't met a worthy opponent.
No matter what Ouyang Shuo had told Luo Shixin and the others to fight him, they still had some scruples in their hearts and didn't dare to use their full strength.
Wasn't Xu Huang the best touchstone for him to test his abilities?
In his previous life, the Asura had never been a person who was afraid to fight.
Ouyang Shuo took a deep breath and said, "Wang Feng, step back and help me!"
Wang Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
As the Featherwood General, his duty was to protect the Marquis.
If anything happened to the Marquis, not to mention how the Marquis would punish him. Even Du Ruhui, Bai Qi, Fan Zhongyan, and the other civil and military officials would skin him alive.
Wang Feng's heart trembled when he thought of General Bai Qi's cold eyes.
The problem was that he didn't dare to disobey the Marquis's order in the current situation. The Marquis's position in his heart was too high and unquestionable.
Wang Feng had a bitter expression on his face. In the end, he didn't say anything and led the most elite soldiers to surround the Marquis. They had to ensure that they could reinforce the Marquis as soon as possible.
The soldiers of the Yulin Royal Guards looked at the Marquis with admiration.
Ouyang Shuo slapped the Azure Lightning and steadily held the Sky Demon Spear, then charged at Xu Huang. (To be continued.)
