    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    With a businessman who often travels north and south to lead the way, the next march route will be faster than in the past.  I don't know if it was God's favor, but late at night on the day they entered Handan County, after Liu Bang ordered a forced march, they had already arrived about 20 kilometers south of Handan City.

    "Pei Gong, twenty kilometers to the north is Handan City. But as expected, the war there should not be over yet. The army of General Zhang Han of the Qin Dynasty still has the entire Handan City under siege."

    Being able to arrive outside Handan City so quickly was entirely due to the businesswoman named Guan Ying in front of me.  If she hadn't led Liu Bang and others along several secret paths that few people knew about, and followed the original route, they would have arrived here at least a day and a half to two days late.

    "Fu Kuan, take a team of people forward to investigate. Remember, pay attention to concealment! If you find Zhang Han's military camp, don't alert the enemy, come back directly!"

    Although it was still some distance away from Handan City, Liu Bang had to be careful.  Although he had never had direct contact with Zhang Han, as long as he thought of the other party's resounding reputation and the achievements he had achieved in the past few months, Liu Bang knew that if his eight thousand troops rushed over stupidly and said,  Maybe the King of Han in Handan City could not be saved, but they themselves were swallowed up by Zhang Han's tens of thousands of horses.

    Fifty thousand troops!  Even according to what Zhang Liang said.  This number is definitely significant, but Liu Bang also believes that even if the opponent only has more than 20,000 troops, he wants to kill less than 10,000 people.  Absolutely very relaxing.

    He is confident in his army, but he is not blindly arrogant.  This point of self-knowledge is still there. The Qin Dynasty's cavalry is said to be unparalleled in the world. This is definitely not a boast, but it was proved by the blood of countless people back then!

    The six countries that fell under the iron cavalry of the Qin Dynasty are a living example.

    "Yes! Mr. Head of State!"

    Fu Kuan nodded, then ordered about a hundred people and set off lightly.  They were among the 8,000 men who sent troops this time.  The most clever and the most skilled.  In addition, although Fu Kuan is not a general, he is definitely a good player in this kind of investigation.

    And Liu Bang and others did not stop moving forward.  But unlike the previous rapid march, Liu Bang ordered to rest for two hours after Fu Kuan and his men left.

    After two hours, when the fatigue of the continuous journey was mostly relieved, Liu Bang gave the order to move forward again.

    But this time the speed is very slow.  Moreover, Liu Bang also divided about 500 people into 50 teams, scattered several kilometers around.  This cautious move was not because Liu Bang was too afraid of death, but a necessary measure.

    What they faced this time was not just a group of Qin Dynasty local troops with no fighting capacity.  Nor are they those bandits with disordered discipline and no morale.  General Zhang Han of the Qin Dynasty, not to mention that the men he led were rumored to be in the regular army of the Qin Dynasty.  They are all Tiger Guards with great military exploits, and he has an unpredictable ability to lead troops.  There was no reason for Liu Bang to be careless in the slightest.

    Sure enough, about three hours later, when a red sun appeared on the horizon in the distance and the earth was still shrouded in the final darkness, Fu Kuan, who was sent out at the beginning, had returned safely.

    But he also brought back some news that I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s good news or bad news.

    "My lord, we found the military camp of the Qin Dynasty about ten kilometers away from here. According to your order, my subordinates did not get close, but we are 80% sure that it is the military camp of General Zhang Han of the Qin Dynasty."

    Fu Kuan came back this time with more than ten people including him, and he left the rest behind to monitor them.

    In fact, there is no need to doubt that nowadays, besides Zhang Han, who else can set up camp so arrogantly around Handan City?

    "Can you tell how many people there are?"

    There are only 8,000 people. Although it is said that he is here to rescue, if such a number of people encounter Zhang Han's army head-on, they don't know how they will die.

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Head of State, it was too dark when we found out, and we didn't get too close, so"

    Regarding Fu Kuan's self-blame, Liu Bang just shook his head, "It's not your fault, it's my order. Safety comes first, and what you did is right."

    Seeing that Liu Bang did not blame him, Fu Kuan was relieved.  Although Liu Bang usually doesn't have the airs of a superior, everyone including him, Zhou Bo and others know that peace is peace, and Liu Bang is kind to them.?Blessing, but at critical times, having a good-natured protagonist is not necessarily a good thing.

    Liu Bang lowered his head and pondered, and now he knew the approximate location of Zhang Han.  Of course he wouldn't take the initiative, that would be purely seeking death.  Judging from the fact that the opponent is still camping outside Handan City, Handan City should not have been breached yet, which is good news.

    "It seems that Handan City's defense is much better than I expected." It has been about ten days since Handan City was besieged. Although from an analysis point of view, Handan City has to hold on even without the support of other people.  Ten days and a half month is perfectly acceptable, but as the saying goes, people are not as good as God. War is often unpredictable, and no one can tell what the outcome will be tomorrow.

    Let alone Liu Bang, even a strategic strategist like Zhang Liang can only make a rough judgment on this point, which cannot be completely accurate.

    "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

    As the deputy commander, Zhou Bo is the one who really leads the army. Liu Bang is also very aware of this. His personal expedition is just to accumulate military merits and to increase his influence in the army. It will not develop to the point where the army will break away from him later.  Location.  But the actual wartime command was completely left to Zhou Bo and Zhang Liang.

    "Zizi, do you have a plan?"

    In the current situation, Handan City is still about fifteen kilometers away, and to the southwest of Handan City is Zhang Han's military camp.  As for Liu Bang and others, they are now hiding in a mountain forest with relatively hidden terrain.

    "Because Miss Guan Ying led the way, we did not pass through those official roads. Our whereabouts will not be discovered by Handan City or Zhang Han, at least for a short period of time. This is an advantage for us."

    Bypassing the official road not only shortened the time, but also almost no one would have thought that an army of 8,000 people was around.  This was entirely due to the businesswoman named Guan Ying, and that businesswoman didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't leave, but stayed among Liu Bang's group of people.

    "My lord, the military advisor, is ridiculous. The slave family only helped me a little, and it's not a big deal."

    Seeing the looks in the eyes of Zhang Liang and others, Guan Ying smiled charmingly, which was indescribably moving.  Not to mention the lecherous Liu Bang, Zhou Bo and others were all a little distracted by the amorous feelings at that moment.

    Several cold snorts rang out, Zhang Liang and Lu Wan both looked slightly unhappy, and their eyes glanced at Liu Bang's face, which was almost drooling.

    Liu Bang smiled awkwardly. At the same time, he also felt that just now, there was a vague gaze sweeping across from a distance. That gaze made him tremble all over, and it was so cold that he felt bone-chilling!

    There is no need for doubt to know that it is Qin Su who is hiding around. As for why his eyes are so cold?  Liu Bang smiled knowingly. Of course, on the surface, he immediately pretended to be a gentleman who was calm and relaxed. Even if the rumored Liu Xiahui appeared, he would probably be disappointed and ashamed.

    "Miss Guan Ying, the next step is very dangerous. Thank you for your help along the way." Liu Bang asked someone to prepare some money and then gave it to Guan Ying. "This is a little thank you from Liu Bang. I hope the girl will accept it. In addition, Liu Bang will send  Some people, escort the girl back."

    After speaking, Liu Bang called more than 20 people and ordered them to protect Guan Ying all the way back.

    But surprisingly, Guan Ying shook her head and refused.  Although she did not refuse Liu Bang's money, she chose to refuse when Liu Bang sent someone to send her back.

    "Girl, what are you"

    "What Pei Gong doesn't know is that the Nu family was actually going to Handan City. The Nu family runs a trading firm. Not long ago, a caravan under the Nu family happened to pass by Handan City, but unexpectedly encountered such a change. Now it is still besieged in the city."

    Hearing what Guan Ying said, Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, then looked at this charming woman in disbelief, and asked uncertainly, "Girl, do you want to enter the city?"

    Because of Zhang Han¡¯s siege, Handan City¡¯s gates are now closed all day long, making it impossible to enter.  And it is almost impossible to get close through the battlefields of both sides.

    But Guan Ying nodded with a very serious expression, "There are members of the slave family and elders in the caravan, and the slave family is worried."

    "Sister Guan Ying, there is no way to enter Handan City now. Unless Zhang Han is defeated, otherwise if he does not retreat for a day, Handan City will not be able to open the city gate. And if Handan City is broken, by then,  ¡­¡±

    The Qin Dynasty's army has always been merciless to the rebels. Although Zhang Han is definitely not as murderous as Bai Qi who killed 400,000 surrendered troops, no one can say what will happen to the people in Handan once the city is broken.  End, who dares to enter the city at that time?  Find???

    "Because of this, the slave family wants to go into the city to see if there is a way to get the slave family's caravan out."

    Liu Bang shook his head at such a fantasy, but Zhang Liang looked at Guan Ying for a long time, then her eyes lit up and she asked in an expectant tone, "Sister Guan Ying, do you have a way to secretly enter the city?"

    Hearing this, an idea flashed in Liu Bang's mind, and Guan Ying over there showed a mysterious smile.

    When the sun rises again, it also means the eleventh day of the offensive and defensive battle of Handan City is coming.  The huge Handan City was shrouded in the afterglow of the sun, but it was dyed with a strange bright red color, as if God was crying for the countless lives fighting on the city top.  (To be continued)
