Chapter 34 The Oriole Is Behind
Pei County, conference hall.
Since Han Xin was attacked by Linzi, he realized that he had defended Pei County to the death and waited for Xiang Yu to attack, which became a meaningless move. Not only did he not have any pressure on the Chu army, but he instead put the Han army in a situation of being surrounded and annihilated. Han Xin naturally would not sit still and wait for death.
"Donalds, the Chu army defeated Linzi and killed Cao Shen, and our army's morale has fallen to a low point. Pei County is useless for our army. It is better to abandon it and retreat to Zhao, seize the troops from Zhao, and then raise the flag to fight against Xiang Yu." Han Xin said helplessly.
"King of Qi, the scout came to report that the Chu army was attacking and plundering the counties in Qi everywhere, and hoped that the King of Qi would decide to take it." Wang Ling, the general of the army, reminded.
"The Chu army bullies me too much!" Han Xin slapped the table in anger and said sternly, "If you don't attack the Chu army, how can you relieve my hatred?"
"But, King Qi, our army is in poverty and the Chu army is in full swing, so it is probably difficult to resist the enemy. I hope the King of Qi will think three times." Another general, Chen Xi, saw Han Xin's anger, stepped forward to persuade him.
Han Xin's face changed and he turned angry and smiled, "General Chen thought I was angry and acted recklessly? It is better to cut one of his fingers when he was injured. Now the Chu army plundered everywhere and the troops were dispersed. I gathered heavy troops to attack him all the way, and I could win a complete victory."
"The King of Qi is wise." Chen Xi said in contempt.
"Wang Ling obeyed the order." Han Xin returned to his calmness, his face was as clear as water, and he said decisively.
Wang Ling immediately stood up, bowed to Han Xin, and said in a deep voice: "The last one will be here."
"I'll lead you 10,000 troops to rescue Gaomi. I will lead the army and then arrive." Han Xin's trusted eyes fell on Wang Ling again.
Wang Ling's body shook slightly and said, "The last general will take the order."
Since being released by Xiang Yu last time, Wang Ling has not received any important tasks. Many people in the army are suspicious of his ability to return from the overlord Xiang Yu, believing that he must have been Xiang Yu's undercover and played infernal affairs. He himself thought that he would no longer be valued by Han Xin from now on. Unexpectedly, Han Xin handed over the task of rescuing Gaomi to himself. A great gratitude arose, and he just wished that he could use this body to repay Han Xin's kindness for his understanding.

In Linzi City, good news came one after another, which made Xiang Yu smile happily.
After being proud of himself, Xiang Yu turned his gaze to Han Xin in Pei County and asked, "Is there any news about Han Xin recently?"
A Sima of the army sorted out the information in his hand and replied: "It is reported that an army in Pei County went northeast the day before yesterday, but Han Xin's army was still around Pei County, and he is not clear about his movements at present."
"Haha, when we see his movements clearly, it will be too late for our army to make adjustments. A Han army sneaked to the northeast. Could it be to save Yangcheng, Gaomi?" Xiang Yu followed the map and moved from Peixian to the northeast. There were Yangcheng, Gaomi and other cities there.

Wang Ling led his army toward Gaomi. On the way, he had received a secret report from the scout, saying that Ji Bu had captured Yangcheng and was sweeping towards Gaomi with a force of ten thousand pounds. Gaomi defenders were bravely resisting with the deep pool of Gaocheng. Although they were suffering heavy losses at present, the Chu army failed to move forward.
"Tell the three armies to advance quickly and must arrive at Gaomi before the city breaks." Wang Ling said loudly.
Twenty miles away from Gaomi, Wang Ling launched a charge - to give Ji Bu a knife from behind. If the defender in the city is agile, he will definitely lead his army out of the city. At that time, the Han army will attack on both sides, and there will be no worries about Ji Bu's undefeated.
Ji Bu was sieging the city, and suddenly a Han army came from behind. Fortunately, Ji Bu was a long-time general on the battlefield and hurriedly divided his troops to resist. But he was caught off guard and soon he was defeated. When Wang Ling saw that he defeated Ji Bu, he did not chase him. He ordered the army to be stationed twenty miles southwest of Gaomi City, and sent another person to send a letter to Gaomi City and contacted the defending general.
"Damn it, as Gao Mi was about to take it down, Wang Ling, the guy from behind. I advised Ba Wang to kill Wang Ling, but Ba Wang just refused to listen and finally suffered from this person." Ji Bu drank all the wine in a big mouthful, still indignant and complained with red eyes.
"General, tomorrow the brothers will take down the camp of Wangling and let out this anger for the general." A deputy general said with wine for Ji Buman.
"Hmph, I must kill Wang Ling tomorrow, and then take Gaomi and massacre the city." Ji Bu was drunk.
"Report, General, the big thing is not good. Han Xin's army suddenly appeared five or six miles in front of the camp and continued to come to our camp. I hope the general will decide." A sentry ran in panic and reported.
"What?" Ji Bu woke up suddenly, was startled, and asked quickly, "Have you seen it clearly?"
"It's true that Han Xin personally led the army to come. It seems that there are no less than 50,000 troops." The sentry replied quickly.
Ji Bu kicked the case in front of him and shouted: "Hurry, send orders to the three armies to defend the walls of the village and set up many crossbows. If the Han army invades, be sure to defend the dead. Do not take a step back. Those who violate the order will be killed. Another person will be sent to the Overlord quickly. Please send troops to the Overlord quickly."
Soon, the noise of the Han army outside the camp could be heard. Ji Bu came to the gate of the village in person and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a big "Han" embroidered on the Han army flag opposite. The yellow puppet horse under the big flag was sitting on the Qi King Han Xin.
With Han Xin's order, the Han soldiers launched a charge towards the Chu army camp. The village was strong and tall, and the rain-like arrows caused considerable losses to the Han army. However, under the strict order, no one dared to retreat. The latter stepped on the former's body and continued to attack.
Ji Bu was commanding the resistance, but unexpectedly, a news came from the left that made him almost crazy - Wang Ling led his army to attack the left wing of the village, and the defenders on the left wing were not enough, so they were gradually out of support.
"Go and go to the left door to take a look." Ji Bu had no choice but to pull away and head to the left.
Shortly after arriving at the left gate, Han Xin defeated an attack from the Han army. In a difficult situation, Han Xin had already broken through the village gate and rushed in.
"Damn it, fight with them." Ji Bu waved the big knife in his hand and shouted sternly.
The two deputy generals grabbed Ji Bu's war horse and advised: "General Ji, don't act impulsively. The Han army is powerful. Only now can we ask for reinforcements from the overlord and lead Han Xin to the overlord's place to win."
Ji Bu was also very angry just now. He calmed down and knew that the people on his hands were not enough to Han Xin to get stuck in the gaps. The so-called heroes would not suffer any loss in front of him. Ji Bu changed his mind and hurriedly said, "General Li, you lead the troops in our army to break the rear, and the rest of the people and horses will follow me to fight for the overlord."
General Li said with a solemn look on his face: "Don't worry, General, Li will never let Han Xin go ahead easily, and he will stop until death."
Ji Bu looked at General Li with a tragic face and said, "All the troops follow me and kill me."
