Chapter 37 No Way Back
After the last rebel general was beheaded on the spot, Ying Bu frowned and had a gloomy face. He stepped on the flowing blood and crossed the piles of corpses. He walked to the body of Lu Matong who was shot dead by Xiang Chang. He dismissed the guards, personally picked up the general's seal that fell to the ground, then picked up the golden arrow from the pool of blood, stood up and strode towards the nearby commander-in-chief's tent.

Affected by the fierce battle just now, his commander's tent was now full of arrows, spears and had huge cracks on it, and was in a state of disrepair.

When he reached the front of the tent, he heard the noise behind him suddenly disappear and became silent. Ying Bu's heart moved and he turned around, and saw Tian Liao and Yu Hai, surrounded by Wu Liao and other middle-level officers, looking at him eagerly with dark eyes.

Ying Bu was startled and suddenly came to his senses. Without thinking, he threw the seal of the general and the golden arrow of the commander-in-chief awarded by Liu Bang to the ground:

"You did a great job! Liu Bang doesn't trust us. If we continue to follow him, we will end up in trouble. From now on, we will never coexist with that bastard."

Upon hearing this, Tian Liao, Yu Hai and other generals relaxed their tense nerves, showed joy on their faces, raised their weapons and cheered.

Ying Bu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his actions just now had made these generals mistakenly believe that he still wanted to make peace with Liu Bang. The hands of each of them were stained with the blood of Liu Bang's generals, and there was no turning back. If he really made peace with Liu Bang, then who knows what they would do to stay alive.

Ying Bu knew too well about these desperate criminals under his command who were as fierce as tigers and wolves.

Ying Bu beckoned Xiang Chang to come closer, raised his arm, and said loudly:
"The Overlord sent his eldest son to make a pact with me to be brothers. If you help him defeat Liu Bang, our two families will divide the world equally. From now on, each of you must fight bravely. As long as you have military merits, you can be crowned king or marquis!"

Upon hearing this, the generals suddenly became more energetic, with fanatical lights flashing in their eyes, and shouted:
"Kill Liu Bang and make him a king! Kill Liu Bang and make him a king!..."

It is no wonder that these generals were so fanatical, because they had the example of Ying Bu. Originally, Ying Bu was just a prisoner, and his status was even lower than theirs. However, he fought bravely, made many military exploits, and was finally named King of Jiujiang by the Overlord, becoming a powerful lord who ruled a country and dominated the area.

Just ask these generals, all of them are ambitious people, who among them does not want to copy his path to success?

At that moment, Yu Hai ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and properly collect and bury the generals and soldiers on his side who had died in the internal strife. He also dragged away and buried the bodies of Lu Matong and other generals planted by Liu Bang.

As for Tian Liao, he brought a team of soldiers with murderous intent and personally went to eliminate the remaining middle-level generals planted by Liu Bang in the military camp, in order to completely eliminate Liu Bang's infiltration into the military camp.

Ying Bu walked into a tent nearby, waved away the guards, and called Xiang Chang in.

As soon as Xiang Chang entered, he suddenly drew out his sword, put it on his neck, and growled like an angry tiger:

"Tell me, you bastard, is this another one of your doings?"

Xiang Chang frowned and said, "King Jiujiang, I don't understand what you mean. Why don't you explain it more clearly?"

"Don't play dumb. I'm very familiar with that command arrow. It was given by Liu Bang to Liu Jia to help him do things. Liu Jia was killed by you, so the command arrow fell into your hands. But it was not Liu Jia's close ministers who you captured, who took the command arrow to Lu Matong while I was away from the military camp, falsely claiming it was Liu Bang's military order, so that he could seize my military power?"

Ying Bu's face was ferocious and he gnashed his teeth. It looked like he wanted to tear Xiang Chang apart and eat him alive.

Xiang Chang frowned, put his finger in front of his mouth, made a gesture of silence, and lowered his voice with an unhappy look on his face and scolded: "Can you keep your voice down? What if the soldiers under your command hear you? They are loyal to you. In order to help you keep the military power, they just wiped out all the generals planted by Liu Bang. If they hear it, won't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

Hearing Xiang Chang's words, Ying Bu was furious, his hair stood on end, and his eyes were full of anger. In other words, he really had no choice at the moment, otherwise he would really eat Xiang Chang alive!
When Liu Jia was killed before, it could be said that he was wronged by Xiang Chang, but Liu Xin was undoubtedly shot to death by him, and Lu Matong and other generals of Liu Bang were undoubtedly killed by his generals. At this point, it was like yellow mud falling into the crotch, which was shit. Even if he went to Liu Bang to cry, how could Liu Bang still trust him? Not to mention that the generals under his command would never allow him to do so.

I have to say, it is really uncomfortable to be forced to bow my head by being pressed down by the neck by this kid.

Neither the former Overlord nor the later King of Han had ever made him, the King of Jiujiang, so depressed.

This was naturally another strategy of Xiang Chang, but Xiang Chang himself did not expect that the effect of this last kick would be so good.

"There is no turning back. I don't understand what you are still struggling with. Right now, the Overlord is fighting desperately with the Han army. He urgently needs you and Zhou Yin, the Grand Marshal, to lead the army to attack them. But you are hesitating and unable to make a decision. Are you a man? The deadline is up. I want you to give me a definite answer now. What do you want to do? If there is no more signal, Zhou Yin, the Grand Marshal, will lead the army to attack your camp. Do you want to be a rat that suffers from both sides?"

Hearing Xiang Chang's impolite and threatening words, Ying Bu was so angry that his arms began to tremble. With a loud roar, he grabbed Xiang Chang's neck and threw him onto the table, then raised his sword and chopped him down fiercely.

The sword blade was almost touching Xiang Chang's head and chopped deeply into the document next to him.

The cold and sharp sword wind cuts the face like a knife.

Ying Bu was still not satisfied, so he drew his sword and chopped at the documents violently with his sword again and again.

The solid jujube wood desk was chopped into two pieces, and then chopped into pieces...

Xiang Chang lay on the desk with his eyes slightly closed, motionless and his heart as calm as an ancient well.

As the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes." Ever since he followed his father to leave Gaixia to attack the Han camp, he has completely disregarded life and death. He has been mentally prepared for anything that happens to him and is able to accept it calmly.

After the last strike of the sword, Ying Bu panted and thrust the nicked sword through the wolfskin rug, thrusting it deep into the ground. He grabbed Xiang Chang by the neck, stared at him face to face, and said bitterly:
"Send a signal to Zhou Yin, and have him lead his troops to attack the right side of the Han army, and cooperate with the Overlord from the inside and outside. As for my army, a part of it will also be divided to attack at the same time. As for the other part, there will be another attack direction."

After a pause, perhaps knowing that Xiang Chang did not understand the purpose of his military arrangement, Ying Bu pushed Xiang Chang, who looked hateful and disgusting without changing his expression, away and continued:

"Every move of the Overlord concerns all the generals of the Han army. He is currently leading 20,000 cavalry to attack the right side of the Han army. Han Xin must go all out to deal with it and mobilize all the available troops to encircle and suppress it. In this situation where the Han army has a far greater force, even if Zhou Yin and I throw all 90,000 troops into it, it will only end up in a chaotic battle, and it will be difficult to achieve any outstanding results."

Ying Bu's military plan was very different from what Xiang Chang had expected. He was very surprised. After hearing this, he realized that Ying Bu was planning to win by surprise. His eyes lit up and asked, "Then I wonder which part of the army you are going to divide and where you are going to attack?"

Ying Bu snorted coldly, raised his head and looked towards the west of the Han army camp, his words revealed a strong sense of confidence and coldness:

"Han Camp Rear Army!"
