My father, King Chu, was besieged at Gaixia

Chapter 9 Comeback
Xiang Chang and Xiang Zhuang arrived at the camp where the Overlord was stationed. They asked the soldiers and learned that their cheap father was discussing military intelligence with the generals.

Xiang Chang's expression darkened, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword at his waist suddenly tightened.

Xiang Zhuang, who was following behind him, could not help but feel a touch of deep disappointment. His originally burning heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water at this moment. The glimmer of hope that had arisen from Xiang Chang's outstanding performance dimmed once again...

——What military situation are they discussing late at night? It is obvious that they are discussing how to break through the encirclement of the Han army and escape to Jiangdong.

Even though the two of them had just thwarted the Han army's vicious plan to attack the enemy's heart on the city wall and maintained the army's morale, they were still unable to stop the high-ranking generals of the Chu army, including Overlord, from losing confidence and beginning to think of escaping.

At this moment, both of them felt endless frustration and powerlessness in their hearts.

Xiang Chang understood in his heart that his cheap father was really frightened by the Han army and was filled with fear. He no longer had the arrogance and courage to look down on all the heroes in the world as grass. He was going to abandon the pride and dignity of being an overlord and the 50,000 loyal Chu soldiers who followed him at the risk of their lives. He was determined to save his life!
Just now he and Xiang Zhuang had boosted the morale of the soldiers on the top of the city wall. At that moment, he hoped very much that this Overlord could walk out of the tent and climb to the top of the city wall!

In that situation, as long as the Overlord appears, even if he says or does nothing, he will definitely be able to push the morale of the Chu army to a higher level!

However, the Overlord was obviously frightened by the fact that the Han soldiers were surrounded by enemies at the beginning. Even though he heard the drums and the majestic war songs later, he still couldn't inspire the slightest fighting spirit...

"If the king chooses to break out, all his foundation will be destroyed. I want to advise the king not to take this path..."

Although Xiang Chang was the eldest son, he was only a middle-level General of the Central Army and was not qualified to participate in such military discussions. However, Xiang Zhuang, as the Captain of the Guard, was qualified. He left Xiang Chang where he was and went into the tent anxiously and angrily.

Xiang Chang shook his head, not expecting Xiang Zhuang to give him advice. At present, all the generals of the Chu army have already begun to think about breaking out and escaping. It has become a big trend. Not to mention Xiang Zhuang, a mere captain of the guard, even if Fan Zeng was resurrected, they would never listen.

As for me, who has always been treated as a child by them, no matter what I say, they will automatically wave me away and ignore me.

Touching his chin, Xiang Chang sneered in his heart:

Perhaps in the eyes of my cheap father and generals like Xiang Sheng, Zhongli Mei, as long as they can break through and escape to Jiangdong, Jiangdong has a vast territory of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of thousands, which is enough for them to make a comeback!
After all, there was the precedent of Liu Bang. In the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang's army of 560,000 was completely defeated, and he only escaped with more than ten people. But in the end, didn't he make a comeback?
They are right to think so!
But they forgot that Liu Bang had the stable rear base of Bashu and Hanzhong, and Xiao He, a super dad who could continuously supply him with troops and food, so it was naturally easy for him to make a comeback.

If the Chu army really chose to break out, Liu Bang would definitely chase them relentlessly and would not give them any chance to breathe. Even if they managed to escape to Jiangdong, Liu Bang would have already conquered the world, and many heroes would follow him. He would lead an army of 600,000 to attack the border. With only a few dozen generals left in the Chu army, and all the officers and soldiers lost, how could they urgently recruit enough soldiers from Jiangdong? How could they collect enough food and military pay?
The people of Jiangdong do love their cheap dad very much, but in the current situation, they are no longer facing the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, but Liu Bang, who is known for his kindness. Can they still give up everything they have and even sacrifice their entire clan to accompany their cheap dad in this battle for the world that is obviously hopeless for them?
——After all, my cheap dad once owned the whole world, but he lost everything in just four years. With such a "superb" level, who would dare to follow him and bet on it, except for a lunatic?
Therefore, as long as they choose to abandon these 50,000 Chu soldiers and the little remaining capital to break out, they will definitely be in a situation of complete defeat with no chance of survival!

At this moment, Xiang Chang, who had been working desperately for half the night, found that things had returned to the starting point, with almost no progress. What lay before him was still an unsolvable dead end.

Xiang Chang, who no longer pinned his hopes on others and only trusted himself, slapped his cheeks hard, breathed in the cool night air, and tried hard to cheer up his depressed spirit. He frowned and thought quickly with great anxiety: "I have been reborn into this life, and I haven't lived enough. I must not sit and wait for death! I must not give up! Let me think, let me think, what other means can I use, what other roads can I take?"

"How about letting my father break out while I stay here to organize the 50,000 Chu soldiers and continue to fight the Han army? No, damn it, let alone Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, even Guan Ying, Fan Kuai, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying and other people are not something that a rookie like me with no experience in leading troops can resist."

"Damn it, where is that ray of hope, or that glimmer of hope? Is it true that we have missed the ray of hope and are completely doomed?"

"My dear, the king left a message in advance, asking you to wait for him in his bedroom tent after you return." At this time, a personal soldier came over and said to him.

Xiang Chang nodded, still thinking nervously, while instinctively following his personal soldiers and walking into his cheap father's tent.

As soon as he entered, Xiang Chang raised his eyebrows and smelled a pungent and strong smell of blood!

Then two bodyguards were seen carrying a person as tall as a man's arms and a bundle of cloth, walking out of the tent.

At one end of the roll of cloth, there was a bunch of messy black long hair hanging out...

In addition, inside the big tent, the tables were overturned, and all kinds of utensils, military intelligence silk books, and my cheap father's clothes and armor were scattered all over the floor in a mess.

It seems like my cheap dad is having a tantrum here!
And the Overlord Sword that my cheap dad never left behind was now stuck straight into the ground in the tent!

Looking at the sword and the glaring bloodstain on the blade, Xiang Chang's heart was pounding. Ever since he traveled through time, his mind had been focused on how to struggle to survive, and a thing that he had ignored suddenly came to his mind.

At the same time, a faint sadness arose in this body.

It was in this tent that the famous historical scene—Farewell My Concubine—had apparently just taken place!
He came from another world and naturally had no feelings for Yu Ji. The reason why he was still a little sad was obviously because this body, as a younger generation, had a long-term mother-son relationship with his cheap father's wife.

Of course, Yu Ji was just one of Xiang Yu's concubines, not Xiang Chang's biological mother. Xiang Chang's mother was the daughter of Yan from Jiangdong whom Xiang Liang married for him when he was in Jiangdong. When Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang and led 8,000 Jiangdong men to rise up and conquer the world, Yan was left in Jiangdong.

Later, Xiang Yu established the Western Chu State, and Yu Ji became favored, so he never brought Yan Shi to Pengcheng...

Xiang Chang couldn't care about all these at the moment. He dispelled the unreasonable sadness and stared at the sword. Suddenly, a bright light flashed through his heart. At this moment, he seemed to truly see the glimmer of hope!
For a moment, he was highly concentrated, secretly calculating, planning, and deducing quickly. Gradually, everything around him faded away and was forgotten, and he was completely immersed in his own world!
