Chapter 162

Leading troops to fight, he could also be considered a good hand.

"How many troops do they have?"

Xiang Liang was silent for a while, then asked.

"According to the news sent by the spies, Wang Ben seems to have led 100, 00 troops this time."

In fact, most of the troops were guarding the border defense positions.

During this period, the Xiongnu seemed to have been beaten into fear, so they did not stir up much trouble.

Being able to spare 100, 00 troops to deal with the Great Chu remnants could be considered not bad.

"We only have about 50, 00, among which more than 10, 00 only joined recently."

Xiang Liang's brows furrowed even deeper.

Because their team was extremely chaotic.

It was not like Great Qin, which could be orderly.

If they really clashed head-on with Great Qin's army, I fear it would be ominous.

"Uncle, why don't we send a vanguard team to launch a surprise attack on Great Qin's army."

"In a head-on clash, we might not be Great Qin's opponent, but I can still manage to win with quality over quantity."

Xiang Yu proposed.

In terms of military affairs, he could also be considered well-versed in military strategy.

Although he did not like reading, following by Xiang Liang's side, even if he did not want to read, there was no way.

He had not personally led any battlefield yet.

So his reputation on the battlefield was not loud.

Xiang Liang was somewhat worried about his proposal.

"Are you sure?"

This nephew was the only bloodline left to them by Great Chu.

If this nephew also had an accident, I fear there would be no hope for Great Chu to restore the country.

But Xiang Liang also knew that this nephew had liked dancing with spears and sticks since he was a child.

The best way to build a reputation was on the battlefield.

If he could build a reputation on the battlefield, it would be no different from a very good thing for Great Chu's restoration.

Some of those Chu people hiding in Great Qin would not choose to come and join them.

But a Chu bloodline with strength is different.

He would only attract those Chu people hiding in Great Qin even more.

"Uncle, leave this matter to me; I am sure."

Xiang Yu's brows arched, and a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes.

Dealing with that terrifying Ghost, he might not have much certainty yet.

But dealing with Wang Ben, he still had 70% certainty.

His goal in this life was Great Qin, and as a famous general of Great Qin, he had also studied Wang Ben for a long time.

This time, it could also be considered an opportunity.

"You lead 5, 00 troops; remember, you must come back alive."

Xiang Liang was silent for a long time, and finally assigned 5, 00 troops to Xiang Yu.

……

……

…….

"Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

Seeing that Xiang Liang finally loosened his mouth, the light in Xiang Yu's eyes became even brighter.

This time, he had originally thought he could get 2, 00 troops; he did not expect there to be 5, 00 troops.

Although these few thousand troops against a 100, 00-strong army were like throwing an egg against a rock.

But he would not be foolish enough to lead 5, 00 troops to face a 100, 00-strong army head-on.

………

Just as Ying Mo arrived at Shangjun and was preparing to make a move against these Great Chu remnants.

The middle-aged man from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Wumian, sent back news.

"Young Master, Wumian sent back news."

"The Great Chu remnants' uprising seems to have angered Ying Zheng; Ying Zheng has already sent Wang Ben to eradicate this group of Great Chu remnants."

"And the army led by Wang Ben will arrive at Shangjun in a few days."

Lu Li said.

Ying Mo did not expect that the news received on Ying Zheng's side would be so timely, and the army had already almost arrived at Shangjun.

He, who had originally wanted to make a move, hesitated for a moment.

"What is the reaction on the Great Chu remnants' side?"

He asked.

"On the Great Chu remnants' side, they seem to have also received the news from Ying Zheng's side."

"They seem to have already made preparations."

During this period, Wumian directly hid among the Great Chu remnants.

After all, during this period, the Great Chu remnants had also taken in too many outsiders.

And the reason why the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was called Wumian (Faceless) was precisely because he did not have a fixed face.

Every time he reached a location or changed an identity, he would change a face.

No one had ever seen his true face, including Ying Mo.

And he would never show his true face to others, except for that mask.

That mask seemed to already represent his true face.

"Let the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern and Western Depots stop for now."

"Yes."

After listening to Ying Mo's words, Lu Li immediately understood Ying Mo's meaning.

At this time, Wang Ben, who had rushed over with whip and spur, had also arrived at the border of Shangjun.

During this period, the 100, 00-strong army had rushed with whip and spur, traveling day and night.

Finally, they arrived at Shangjun at the fastest speed.

"General, after crossing the bridge ahead, we will have arrived at the location of Shangjun."

A soldier below said to Wang Ben.

Wang Ben rode on his horse and turned his head to look; he indeed saw a wide wooden bridge.

"Tell all the soldiers to rest well; tomorrow morning we will cross the bridge directly and head straight for the location of the Great Chu remnants."

Wang Ben said loudly.

The soldiers who received the news quickly passed this order down.

Traveling day and night, even for soldiers, the body really could not take it.

Finally hearing the order to rest well, all the soldiers collapsed on the ground.

And some people had already started preparing food.

On the other side of the bridge, Xiang Yu had already brought people to lie in ambush there.

This road was the fastest one from Xianyang City to Shangjun.

If they did not take this wooden bridge, I fear they would have to take a mountain road for another day to reach Shangjun.

Xiang Yu had already made preparations here a day ago.

He knew that with Wang Ben's personality, he would definitely arrive at Shangjun in the shortest possible time.

So he would absolutely not give up this shortcut and choose to take the mountain road.

If he chose to take the mountain road, then the strategy in Xiang Yu's hands would I fear be unable to be implemented.

But fortunately, he understood Wang Ben well enough, and Wang Ben indeed chose this wooden bridge.
