Chapter 433 Changban Slope

Chapter 432: Changban Slope

Xiang Yu actually burned the letter.

Shi Lan was completely stunned when she saw this. She had read the contents of the letter and knew how important the things mentioned in the letter were.

How could Xiang Yu burn such an important letter after just one glance at it?

Shi Lan glanced at the letter in the firelight, and when she saw the opening paragraph that hadn't been burned yet, she seemed to understand something.

"Xiang Yu, if you don't listen to my advice, you will become a sinner for the ages."

This is the first sentence in Zhang Liang's letter, and the reason why Zhang Liang said it so seriously is because he wanted to attract Xiang Yu's attention.

Zhang Liang is confident that if Xiang Yu finishes reading, he will definitely not foolishly walk into Qin Hao's trap. After all, what he said in the letter is clear enough.

Zhang Liang was afraid that Xiang Yu would not see this letter. After all, he had doubts about Yu Shilan before, but he probably never expected that his warning words would anger Xiang Yu.

 Xiang Yu's character has always been to accept soft words but not to be tough. If Zhang Liang persuades him, he might be able to listen if he is in a good mood.

But Zhang Liang's first sentence was so serious that Xiang Yu was immediately angered and naturally had no desire to read any more.

If Zhang Liang knew that he had worked so hard to think of a solution for Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu burned it without even looking at it, he would probably be furious to death.

Looking at the letter that was about to be burned, Xiang Yu said coldly: "Zhang Liang, please keep your eyes open and see if I, Xiang Yu, will become a sinner for the ages."

What Xiang Yu didn't know was that the entire Yellow Turban would perish because of his arrogance, and soon he would also swallow the bitter fruit he had sown.

But this is Xiang Yu's own suicide, so who can blame him?

 “Report...emergency military situation.”

A guard rushed in. Yu Shilan took the information and presented it to Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu opened it and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Yu Shilan asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Yu's face was ashen and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yue Fei attacked Xinye secretly. Not only did he rescue Qin Hao, he also set fire to the grain depot. Zhang Liang was also captured alive."

Hearing that Qin Hao had been rescued, Yu Shilan breathed a sigh of relief, but pretended to be shocked and shouted: "What should we do?"

Xiang Yu's expression became more solemn when he thought of facing an opponent who had defeated him several times. After a moment of reflection, he said, "Don't worry, I won't let Qin Hao escape so easily."

Shi Lan's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this. According to the time, Qin Hao should not have escaped back to Xiangyang. If Xiang Yu mobilized the entire army to intercept, Qin Hao might not be able to escape.

At this time, Xiang Yu also issued an order: "Send an order to the entire army to immediately block all roads to Xiangyang. We will send people to search and arrest along the way, and we must capture Qin Hao."

Following Xiang Yu's order, an army of 400,000 troops directly blocked the road from Xinye to Xiangyang. The purpose was just to capture Qin Hao alone. This also shows that Xiang Yu attaches great importance to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao, who fled at night, soon discovered that there were yellow turban sentries everywhere on the way back to Xiangyang.

Although Qin Hao didn't know why Xiang Yu got the news so quickly, it was obvious that the main road was unreachable and he could only take Huang Zhong and Zhang Liang through the mountain trails.

Although the trails in the mountains are hidden, they are very difficult to walk, and walking on the mountain trails at night will naturally waste more time.

"I didn't expect Xiang Yu to react so quickly. Fortunately, he reacted before, otherwise it would be a sheep in a tiger's den." Qin Hao said with lingering fear.

Previously, Qin Hao not only asked Xue Rengui to prevent the killing of Yu Ziqi, but also asked Xue Rengui to convey a new combat mission to Yue Fei. Yue Fei still has 600 to 700 elite troops in his hands, which cannot play any role in Xiangyang, so returning to Xiangyang is not as useful as hiding in the mountains between Xiangfan and fighting guerrillas with the Yellow Turbans.

Looking at it now, Qin Hao's decision was really wise. It was not easy for the three of them to return to Xiangyang, let alone six or seven hundred people?

“Lord, there is a family in front of us, why don’t we go ask for some food and replenish our strength.” Huang Zhong said.

After escaping for such a long time, Qin Hao also felt a little hungry. He immediately asked Huang Zhong to continue to look at Zhang Liang while he went to negotiate with the head of the household.

The head of the household is a hunter. When he saw that two of Qin Hao’s three men were carrying weapons, he naturally did not dare not give them to him.

Originally, Qin Hao should have killed the hunter to keep it secret, but seeing that the hunter had a six-year-old daughter, and being honest from beginning to end, Qin Hao felt soft-hearted and did not embarrass the hunter.

But what Qin Hao didn't know was that his momentary softness almost killed him.

Seeing Qin Hao and others walking away, the hunter finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to his wife and daughter: "Stay at home and don't run around. I'll go out."

　　——

 Zhongping 2nd year, November 19th.

Qin Hao and three others wandered around the mountains for two days and finally bypassed all the Yellow Turban sentries.

Now as long as Qin Hao and others cross the Changbanpo Bridge, they will reach the Han army's sphere of influence, and they will naturally be completely safe.

Changban Slope, belonging to the remnants of Jingshan Mountain, is the hilly area formed by its east branch going south. It was called "Dangyang Changban" or "Dangyang Ban" in ancient times.

In ancient times, this place was adjacent to Yunmengze. Although the lake was later deposited and turned into land, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still flooded with waterlogged areas and crisscrossed by water networks. Since ancient times, it has been a must-pass place for north-south transportation trunk lines.

 What is really famous about Changbanpo is that the Battle of Changbanpo took place here.

Liu Bei's son Liu Chan fell behind enemy lines. Zhao Zilong killed nearly seven people in Cao's camp before finally rescuing the young master and becoming famous all over the world.

There is a poem by later generations that says: "The blood stains the army's robes and the armor is red. Who dares to compete with him in the sun? In ancient times, only Changshan Zhao Zilong rushed into the battle to help the lord in danger."

Qin Hao could bypass the sentry posts in front of Chang Ban Slope silently, but Chang Ban Slope was the only way to go to Xiangyang. The terrain was flat and open and he couldn't get around it at all.

At present, Xiang Yu seems to have not found this place yet. After looking at the hillside for a long time, Qin Hao led the two of them to Changban Slope.

Changbanpo was eerily silent at this time. There was no sound except the chirping of insects and birds.

Huang Zhong was the first to notice something was wrong and whispered to Qin Hao: "My lord, something is wrong. We may have walked into an ambush."

Qin Hao also sensed something was wrong at this time, and ordered with a solemn face: "We will leave separately in a while. If the enemy ambushes and comes out, you don't need to worry about me. Take Zhang Liang and escape first."

"How is this possible? How could Huang Zhong ignore the safety of the lord? Why don't we kill this person on the spot? The general will **** the lord to fight his way out."

In Huang Zhong's heart, Qin Hao's safety was naturally his first priority, but Qin Hao was unwilling to deal with the assassination attempt in his hands like this.

In Qin Hao's view, although the current situation is dangerous, it is not yet to the point where Zhang Liang has to be killed.

I’m leaving school soon, and I’m not in very good shape lately, so the updates are a bit slow, so please forgive me!
