Chapter Thirty-Four Role-Playing

  Li Yuan had no time to think about Gu Yun's resentment.

  The grievances of cross-dressing girls, in Li's original era, were no longer a secret. As for the term "fake girl", due to the increasingly advanced makeup and cosmetic techniques, people couldn't help but sigh that even what they saw with their own eyes might not be accurate.

  To women, Li Yuan was both familiar and strange. Familiarity made him no longer lose his rationality due to hormonal impulses, while strangeness was because he only had theoretical foundation but not practical experience yet.

  Gu Yun joined the army, and entered Li Yuan's line of sight with the template of Hua Mulan. The image of her wearing a man's military uniform and holding a sharp sword left a deep impression on Li Yuan's mind. Although there were female soldiers in the barracks, most of them were tomboys, and Li Yuan's strong personality naturally had little interest in women with similar strong personalities.

  Li Yuan put Gu Yun by his side after the reorganization, and more of it was to see if this woman had any other surprising means, and who was behind her, manipulating in secret.

  ——。

  The main force of the Qin army was reorganized in Luoyang, with Yang Xiong nominally commanding the troops, while actual command and training were handled by Wang Shang, Luo Jia, Jiang Yu and others. After losing Gan Houbao, Zhou Xing and other mid-level military officers, new generals were quickly promoted to take their place, who were younger and more vigorous.

  After the strong reorganization of Luoyang, although the Qin army's combat effectiveness still needs time to recover, at least in terms of unified command, they have been able to achieve a high level of discipline. In this regard, Li Yuan's personal charm played a crucial role. After witnessing and hearing about Li Yuan killing more than 20 enemy generals on the battlefield and then risking his life to rescue surrounded officers and men, the Qin army's admiration for Li Yuan reached its peak.

  In this era of word-of-mouth transmission, Li Yuan became a hero in the hearts of Qin army officers and soldiers.

  In early November, Liu Bang led the great army to cross the Yellow River in the north, and the news that Taiyuan was besieged by Huaiyang with a crushing force reached Luoyang, and Li Yuan could not sit still.

  Following the development trajectory of history, after the Battle of White Horse, Liu Bang should have gone south to enter Yingchuan Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture, joined forces with Han Xin's troops, and then launched a protracted war against the Qin army's garrison troops in the area around Wan City. As for defeating the enemy soldiers defending Wan City and advancing to Wu Pass, that would have to wait until the great strategist Zhang Liang offered his plan.

  Now, Liu Bang has changed the original route of his army and is marching towards Xingyang with a strong momentum. Looking at Liu Bang's attitude, he seems determined to take down the stronghold of Xingyang and Changyi no matter what. Since crossing over, Li Yuan's confidence had been largely based on his prior knowledge of history, but now, an unforeseen variable has appeared, making him feel a different kind of tension and pressure.

  "This is not a single-player role-playing game, this is real history, the opponents we face are also living people with thoughts and brains." Li Yuan stood at the bow of the ship, watching the snowflakes fluttering and falling in four and five petals, and couldn't help but feel some emotions.

  For the past two years, Li Yuan never thought of himself as a sentimental person. The family visit was only for a short period of over ten days, but now, heaven didn't even leave Li Yuan with one day.

  The child wants to support but the parents won't wait, missing the old father and mother, can only be in dreams.

  As for the original owner of this body, Li Yuan only had a vague understanding, with several fragmented scenes leaving a relatively deep impression. One was in a simple farmhouse, where a little girl with two braids was crying, and another was in a large mansion, where a group of servant-like people were surrounding a delicate young woman walking in front of them.

  The memory is too fragmented, and Li Yuan's arrival should be the last moment of the original owner's soul dispersal. The theory of divine spirit is too forced and arbitrary, and Li Yuan cannot clearly explain which category his situation belongs to.

  Shaking off the snow on his body, Li Yuan entered the cabin under Gu Yun's resentful gaze. This grain transport team from Qin State belonged to Guannei and after crossing the Wei River, it would enter the Great River towards Changyi. When they stopped over at Luoyang for replenishment, Li Yuan took over without any courtesy.

  The fleet from Guannei to Changyi has only one purpose, which is to deliver supplies to the Qin army besieging Zhao. The prime minister, Zhao Gao, now clearly demands that whatever General Zhang Han wants, whether it be money or grain, he will provide as long as he can eliminate the rebels.

  Zhao Gao sent something, Li Yuan did not take it, but after having this grain-transporting naval fleet, Li Yuan became interested in the besieged city of Huanyang.

  Hu Zhuang, He Ping and Hou Xi originally retreated to Xingyang City with Guan Yue, along with over a thousand civilians from Daliang who had initially followed Li Yuan. If the city were breached, Liu Bang would never let these accomplices to Fan Kuai's murder off scot-free.

  Perhaps we can use this grain transport fleet to sneak into the city by water, Zhao Bi has not been in control of Xiangyang for a long time, and his control should not be too strong, it's worth taking the risk.

  By nature, Li Yuan was a man who would not admit defeat. From the moment he learned of Liu Bang's siege of Huanyang, his eyes had never left the place on the map.

  From Baima to Luoyang, with Yang Xiu's retirement and Sima Yin's withdrawal from the scene, Li Yuan formally took the stage as the leader of a faction in the turbulent world of Qin at the end of the Han Dynasty.

  In a chaotic world where heroes rise and fall, one must first establish a foundation.

  For Li Yuan, who was from a humble background and belonged to the Qin military system, Guandong was not a good place to settle down. To live a stable life, it would be best to head west to Guannei, wait for the outcome of the Chu-Han contention between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and then choose one side to surrender to. In this way, even if he couldn't become a founding noble, he could still become a minor official and live a happy and comfortable life with children.

  If one wants to make a name for oneself on the stage of heroes competing with each other, then Kanto is a paradise for adventurers, and no place is more suitable than Mikawa Province. The geographical location is superior, not only is it the bridgehead for Qin's attack on Kanto, but also the first line of defense against anti-Qin forces in the east of Hangu Pass. Once there is a change, Li Yuan can swing his sword westward at any time and directly threaten the capital Xianyang. Of course, Xianyang is not easy to attack, before having enough strength to confront Zhao Gao's faction in the court, Li Yuan needs to continue lurking around Mikawa Province.

  Xingyang

  After losing the protective armor, Liu Bang saw the possibility of enjoying himself, just like a delicious and easy-to-obtain food, and Li Yuan was the same.

  Snowflakes fill the sky.

  Just like this ever-changing and unpredictable world, it's hard to see through and grasp.

  The Qin army fleet sailed with a loud splash, and the draft of the ships was very deep. It looked as if they were carrying a lot of grain and fodder. In fact, hidden in the cabin were nearly three hundred elite soldiers under Li Yuan's command. This was an elite unit formed through layers of selection and rigorous testing. Commanding such a special operations force was precisely where Li Yuan excelled.

  From corporal to lieutenant colonel, and back to corporal again, from commanding a dozen people to leading thousands of soldiers under his command, and then reducing his own direct troops to just over a hundred men, Li Yuan's actions left many people bewildered, unaware that this was the result of Li Yuan's special forces complex from the future.
