The morning light quietly shone on the banks of the Si River.
"Quick, get off the boat!"
"Before the sun completely rises, we must leave this place as soon as possible so that we can enter the forest and continue our march!”
"Otherwise, if we cause a big commotion and news gets to Lu County, we'll have come in vain!”
"It's all that bastard Zhang Zifang's fault. He had to send a letter for no reason, causing uncle's old habit of being cautious to act up again, delaying for another half a day!”
"I hope that Wei Jiu and Tian Qi won't act too quickly, otherwise, I, Xiang Zhuang, won't be able to care so much!”
Xiang Zhuang stood on the temporary wooden ferry and shouted loudly, commanding the thousands of Xiang clan disciples who had just landed to line up and set off. At the same time, he muttered to himself.
As for Zhang Zifang, this famous person who opposed Qin, within the Xiang Clan, there have always been two different opinions. It could even be said that they were completely different.
Xiang Liang, Uncle Xiang, and the others respected Zhang Zifang very much. They often praised Zhang Zifang for having the talent of Gui Gu and would be the future main force of the anti-Qin army. Every time Zhang Zifang came, they would try their best to rope him in.
The young disciples of the Xiang clan, led by Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, were extremely dissatisfied with Xiang Liang treating a powerless outsider even better than his own disciples.
Privately, he even viewed Zhang Liang as a jinx.
After all, this guy's battle record was indeed quite a scam.
Bolang Sha had tried to assassinate the First Emperor, but the First Emperor had not been harmed at all. However, the assassins from the Yan Kingdom who had participated in the assassination had all been destroyed, and even the remnants of the Yan Kingdom's royal family had been wiped out by the furious Great Qin.
This time, the Confucian Sect had been instigated by Zhang Liang to take advantage of the Ancestral Dragon's illness to launch a massive campaign to restore the fief. Their outcome was even worse than the Yan royal family.
After all, the Royal Family of Yan still had a good reputation for their courage, while the Confucian Sect, which had a good reputation, was now in a mess because of that madman Ying Changfeng.
Under such circumstances, Xiang Liang still attached so much importance to Zhang Liang's letter, how could Xiang Zhuang not be furious?
"Young Master Zhuang, there seems to be a sentence in the military book that says, don't enter the forest. Before the family head set off, he also reminded us to be careful.”
Looking at the forest that was still slightly dark in the morning light, a Xiang clan commandant immediately spoke.
"What's there to be afraid of? Don't enter the forest. That's something you have to pay attention to when fighting against an enemy army!”
"With Ying Changfeng's small army, what do we need to worry about?”
"Moreover, from the intelligence, this kid is very fond of women all day long. How can he care about anything else?”
"She's a famous beauty in the entire Qilu and Chu regions.”
Xiang Zhuang angrily glared at the lieutenant and said,""If you have the time, you might as well worry about whether a tiger will come out of the forest later!”
"But what if there are reinforcements on the other side?”
the lieutenant said hesitantly.
"If you are afraid of death, just say it. Don't waste my morale here!”
The hot-tempered Xiang Zhuang slapped him and said,"Within a radius of several hundred miles, only Xue County has a few thousand guards, and they are the old, weak, sick, and disabled from the front line.”
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll chop you up!”
Xiang Zhuang says furiously.
The commandant covered his swollen cheek and sighed in his heart. He decided to ignore Xiang Zhuang and make his own arrangements.
......
Ten miles away, in a relatively empty forest.
"General Zhang, the opponents have all crossed the river and are marching towards us. When should we make our move?”
Lieutenant Gao Qing took a small piece of silk from a messenger pigeon and quickly glanced at it before rushing over to report.
"There's no hurry. They've just been busy crossing the river for the entire night. They basically haven't rested at all. At this moment, they're tired and won't be able to reach here so quickly!”
"Moreover, our journey is not the main point. The real goal still depends on His Highness and the general!”
Zhang Han withdrew his gaze from the map in his hand and waved his hand lightly.
In his heart, he admired Ying Changfeng greatly.
This Mountain River Map with all the terrain and road markings was really a divine weapon for marching and fighting!
Without this map, no one would be able to reach Xue County from Xianyang City in five days.
What was even more shocking was that in this situation where the Sishui River was soaring, there was actually a low-lying land that the locals did not know about. They could cross the river directly without a ferry!
This discovery changed the entire situation!
In addition, the reason why they could communicate with each other smoothly from hundreds of miles away was also thanks to another divine communication device invented by the skillful craftsmen under Ying Changfeng's guidance, which was the most inconspicuous white pigeon!
Prince Eternal Wind was simply too miraculous!
Being able to follow His Highness was definitely the best choice he had made in his life!
