Wandering the Heavens

In the end, Yi Xiaochuan knelt on the bow and watched Xiang Yu being dismembered.

The Wujiang Pavilion Chief rowed the boat back to the left bank, and before he could recover from his grief, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"Who are you?" Yi Xiaochuan asked vigilantly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin's personal guard, our master has ordered us to bring you back to Guanzhong!"

After saying that, several people threw out ropes and cooperated with each other to tie Yi Xiaochuan tightly.

"King of Qin, the Qin Dynasty has perished, so how can there still be a King of Qin!" Yi Xiaochuan couldn't understand why there would be someone who called himself the King of Qin when Liu Bang had already conquered the world.

"Shut his mouth too!"

The Jinyiwei pried open Yi Xiaochuan's mouth, stuffed an iron walnut into his mouth, tied a tie around it, and then blindfolded him.

As for Liu Bang, he spent nearly five years shamelessly tearing off pieces of flesh from Xiang Yu, and finally defeated Xiang Yu and took over the whole world. According to the plan, he would return north to Luoyang to prepare for the establishment of a new dynasty.

When the army reached Dang County, it was intercepted by Lü Zhi's army. Because it was getting dark, the Han army had no idea about the situation of this army.

"Are those the remnants of Xiang Yu ahead?" Liu Bang looked at the army formation in the distance.

"King of Han, there have been rumors in the army that the King of Qi wants to rebel, and the army ahead is probably his rebel army." King Xin of Han was quite panicked.

"Impossible, I trust Han Xin, he will never do anything rebellious. What do you think the opposing army will be like?" Liu Bang has been a little arrogant these days.

"It's not impossible. Han Xin did not lead his troops south as planned to join the King of Han in encircling Xiang Yu. I guess what he was planning was this moment." Zhang Liang said with a frown.

Now that the world is stable, he can't think of anyone else who can stop Liu Bang from becoming emperor except Han Xin, and Han Xin is a person who is unwilling to be inferior to others.

"Military Advisor, is this matter irreversible?" Liu Bang's body trembled slightly.

Han Xin's military talent was very clear to him. If it weren't for his planning and fighting in Three Jins and Qi, he would never have been able to defeat Xiang Yu. He wanted to be the King of Qi, and he gave it to him, but he didn't expect that his appetite was so big.

"Your Majesty, it is night now and the situation is unclear. We should wait until dawn to find out the situation. Maybe the one on the opposite side is not General Han Xin." Zhang Liang could only comfort him at this time.

"That's right...that's right..., order the entire army to be on alert and guard against sneak attacks, and we will discuss it again after we find out the situation in the morning!" Liu Bang wiped the sweat off his forehead.

For Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, this was a most torturous night. They had a premonition that the army of unknown origin before them would be the biggest obstacle for the King of Han to rule the world.

However, as commanders and intellectual pillars, they had no choice but to pretend to remain calm in front of the army.

When it was just getting light, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang could not wait to ride their horses to the front army and climb up the corner tower that had been built overnight.

I don't know what kind of lighting the tents across from me use, but I can still see the lights they have turned on. The white tents are arranged in an orderly manner, and in the empty spaces, soldiers are standing in square formations. The big banner in the center is moving, as if it is running, and there are faint shouts coming from me.

"Military Advisor, have you figured out anything?" Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang who was following beside him.

"Your Majesty, the person opposite is not Han Xin. The military flag faintly shows the word Qin and the word Lu." Zhang Liang replied with a frown.

"But Xiang Yu did not enfeoff the King of Qin, and he did not have a general named Lu under his command! I think Han Xin is trying to cover up his mistake, as he does not want to bear the stigma of betraying the king." Lu Guan felt that the person on the opposite side was still Han Xin.

"Among the kings enfeoffed by Xiang Yu, King An was of the Lu surname." Zhang Liang made a shocking statement.

"Prince An? How is it possible? She is just a woman. How can she want to compete with the King of Han for the world with just a small country called An?" Han Wangxin thought that Zhang Liang's inference was nonsense.

"Military Advisor, could the person opposite us be King An?" Liu Bang asked.

"Except for King An, I can't think of anyone else." Zhang Liang organized his words: "But why don't they attack the king's army?"

"Call all the generals to discuss and prepare for the attack!" Liu Bang patted the guardrail.

Prince An Lü Zhi was a thorn in his heart. Because of her, he was tied up and paraded through the streets, losing face and having to live in exile in Xianyang. If Yi Xiaochuan had not pleaded with Fusu and Meng Tian, he might have been sentenced to hard labor and died in disgrace. Even so, he did not have an easy life. After escaping from Xianyang, he suffered a lot again. It was not until he became a bandit in Mangdang Mountain that he settled down.

"I will capture the ignorant King An and humiliate him severely!" Liu Bang said gritting his teeth.

At three quarters past the hour of the si, the Han army marched out of the camp. Liu Bang, along with a group of senior generals, walked to the front of the battle. He wanted to see with his own eyes what the woman who had humiliated him looked like now.

The military camp on the opposite side was silent and showed no reaction at all, ignoring the rumbling war drums of the Han army.

"kill!"

The morale of the Han army, which had defeated Xiang Yu, was high. They rushed towards the opposite military camp with the dream of becoming a marquis.

The Qin army seemed unwilling to fight with him, and threw a dozen cloth bags from the trenches with catapults. Liu Bang and Zhang Liang didn't know why they used catapults in such a field battle. While they were still wondering what was going on, the cloth bags exploded above the heads of the Han soldiers. Soldiers within a thirty-foot radius fell down in large numbers, and some even had their bodies torn apart, leaving no intact corpses.

What was even more terrifying was that the cloth bags made a thunderous sound when they exploded, and even the horses in the Han army camp lost control.

The Han army, which was charging, was shocked by the Qin army's move. They lost the courage to attack and stood still, hesitating to move forward.

"Quick, sound the retreat!" Zhang Liang didn't care whether Liu Bang would come after him later or not, so he quickly ordered the troops to retreat. If it was too late, the Han army would be doomed.

On the corner tower of the Qin army camp, Lu Zhi suppressed the discomfort in her abdomen, breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Han army slowly withdraw from the attack range, and put away the monocular telescope in her hand.

"Father, it turns out that you were right when you said that gunpowder should not be used on the battlefield unless absolutely necessary."

"But these 100,000 people in front of us are Liu Bang's most loyal and elite troops. If we don't use gunpowder, we will have to pay a greater price to annihilate them." Yu Xian felt a little bit reluctant when he saw the Han army dying tragically under the explosive packs.

After the withdrawal, various rumors began to spread among the Han soldiers. They said that the weapon used by the Qin army in the morning was thunder, and those who died in the thunder were soldiers and officers who had participated in the siege of Xiang Yu and the seizure of Xiang Yu's body.

The reason why they can drive the thunder from the sky is because Xiang Yu’s anger was sensed by God, and he specially gave his subordinates who were loyal to him the means to drive the thunder from the sky, in order to avenge Xiang Yu!

In this way, everyone from the King of Han to those who once besieged Xiang Yu would be executed by heavenly thunder.

The rumor soon reached the ears of Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others.

"What nonsense! I defeated Xiang Yu in accordance with the will of Heaven!" Liu Bang smashed the weapon rack in the tent with one sword.

"My king, we had better control the rumors as soon as possible, otherwise the army will soon collapse!"

Zhang Liang was also a little nervous at this time. The weapons used by the other party were beyond his understanding. Could it be that God really wanted to avenge Xiang Yu?

"Military advisor, you said that there has been no news of Han Xin since he moved to Qi State. Was he also killed by the Qin army before me?" Liu Bang suddenly remembered the missing Han Xin army.

"Your Majesty is wise." What else could Zhang Liang say.

Liu Bang didn't expect Zhang Liang to be so pessimistic. He leaned against the table and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"I am unwilling to accept this!" Liu Bang turned his head and looked at the case behind him.

"But, since they can use such means, why don't they attack but defend instead? What are they waiting for?" Zhang Liang didn't dare to look at Liu Bang's decadent appearance, so he had to turn his gaze to the map hanging on the side.

At dusk, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang got the answer to why the Qin army did not attack.

After receiving the urgent report, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang once again climbed up the corner tower and looked at the familiar army in the south. They had changed their flags to the same ones as the Qin army in the north.

"Ying Bu has misled me!" Liu Bang gritted his teeth.

It turns out that the reason why Lu Zhi blocked the battle but did not fight was to wait for Ying Bu's army to catch up and complete the encirclement. Zhang Liang, who had planned everything, felt extremely cold and trembling at this moment.

Ying Bu was Lu Zhi's man from the beginning. With Lu Zhi's instructions, he first surrendered to Xiang Yu and then to the King of Han. There must be more than one such person in the King of Han's camp.

Who on earth is this Lu Zhi? How could she do such an incredible thing!
