Chapter 362: Arriving at the Shangjun border, planning strategy

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

Seeing that Xiang Liang had finally relented, the light in Xiang Yu's eyes became even brighter.

This time, he had originally thought he could get 2,000 troops and horses, but he hadn't expected to get 5,000.

Although these few thousand troops and horses were like throwing an egg against a rock when facing a 100,000-strong army,

he wouldn't be foolish enough to lead 5,000 troops and horses to face a 100,000-strong army head-on.

………

Just as Ying Mo arrived at Shangjun and was preparing to take action against these Great Chu remnants,

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

"Young Master, Wumian has transmitted news back."

"The uprising of the Great Chu remnants 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 hadn't expected that the news received on Ying Zheng's side would be so timely, and the army would already be arriving at Shangjun soon.

He, who had originally wanted to take action, 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 time, Wumian had hidden directly among the Great Chu remnants.

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

And the reason the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was called Wumian (No Face) was precisely because he did not have a fixed face.

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

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

And he had never shown his true face to anyone, except for that mask.

That mask seemed to 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 fast horses and whips, had also arrived at the border of Shangjun.

During this time, the 100,000-strong army had traveled day and night with fast horses and whips.

They finally arrived at Shangjun at the fastest possible speed.

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

A soldier under his command said to Wang Ben.

Wang Ben, riding on his horse, 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, their bodies were truly somewhat unable to bear it.

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

And some people also began to prepare food.

On the other side of the bridge, Xiang Yu had already brought his men and laid an ambush there.

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

If they didn't take this wooden bridge, they would likely have to take a mountain road for a day to reach Shangjun.

Xiang Yu had already made preparations here a day ago.

He knew that with Wang Ben's character, 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 likely be unable to be implemented.

But fortunately, he understood Wang Ben well enough, and Wang Ben had indeed chosen this wooden bridge. ===== CHAPTER 364 =====
