Chapter 812 Yang Jian's Persistence

There was a hint of confusion in Yang Jian's eyes. He obviously didn't expect that in the Jiangdong Chu army, besides Xiang Yu, there was actually someone who could intercept his golden pill in mid-air.

He looked in the direction the arrow came from, and saw Xiang Yu standing in front of the Jiangdong Chu army, holding a heavy longbow, with a pair of double pupils staring at him coldly.

Next to him, Zhongli Mei, one of the Five Tiger Generals of Jiangdong, also stood with his bow drawn, a stern look on his face.

Xiang Yu looked at Yang Jian, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. This Yang Jian was indeed no ordinary person.

Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he is also decisive in killing and shows no mercy to his enemies.

If he and Zhongli Mei had not acted in time today, Gonggong would have been seriously injured if not killed.

Yang Jian also looked at Xiang Yu, and their eyes met in the air, as if sparks were flying.

Gonggong returned to the formation, pale and panting.

"My king, I...I am defeated."

He looked at Xiang Yu with a trace of guilt in his eyes. He knew that his performance today had disappointed Xiang Yu. He could only lower his head and speak in a low voice.

"It's okay. Victory and defeat are common in the military. You have done your best today. There is no need to do this."

"Let's go back and recuperate first. There is still a long way to go and we still have a chance."

Xiang Yu looked at Gonggong, with a complicated look in his eyes, but at this point he could only pat Gonggong on the shoulder and sighed.

After saying that, Xiang Yu turned and looked at Yang Jian on the battlefield, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The next time they meet, he will personally take action and kill Yang Jian on the horse to avenge the shame of the Chu army in Jiangdong today.

Moreover, Yang Jian posed too great a threat to the Chu army in Jiangdong. Now, among the Chu army in Jiangdong, except for himself and Gonggong, if anyone else met Yang Jian alone on the battlefield, they would probably not even have a chance to escape.

Therefore, the next time he sees Yang Jian on the battlefield, he must keep Yang Jian forever even if it costs him some price!

Yang Jian on the opposite side also felt Xiang Yu's cold gaze, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Not convinced?

What a pity. Next time we meet, it won't be me who fights you.
Today's battle is just an appetizer, the real war is yet to come.

Just after Yang Jian defeated Gong Gong and returned to the camp, a burst of warm cheers suddenly rang out in the camp.

Many soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army walked out of the tents, their eyes full of admiration, looking at the Taoist guardian who was surrounded by golden and silver aura and looked very heroic.

At this time, Yang Jian was wearing a goose yellow battle robe, which made him look even more heroic in the afterglow of the setting sun. He carried a three-pointed, double-edged sword on his shoulders and walked steadily, like a god descending to the earth.

"General Yang, you are so brave!"

"The strongest general under Xiang Yu, Gonggong, was defeated by you so easily. With such strength, you deserve to be called a god!"

Pei Xingjian had been waiting at the camp gate for a long time. When he saw Yang Jian returning, he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He walked quickly forward, clasped his hands together, and laughed loudly.

"General Pei, you are too kind. We were able to win this battle thanks to the assistance of all the generals and the brilliant plan of General Han Xin. If Xiang Yu had not called back his troops, Gonggong might not have been defeated so quickly."

His chest also rose and fell slightly. Yang Jian took a breath and smiled slightly, saying humbly.

Han Xin also walked out of the tent upon hearing the news, and saw Yang Jian returning, with a hint of joy in his eyes. The lord really had not lied to him, even Yang Jian, the second-in-command, had such strength.

As for Wang Xiangyang's strength, there's no need to mention it!
"General Yang, your battle today not only dampened the spirit of Xiang Yu, the brainless reckless man, but also boosted the morale of our army."

"And Xiang Yu is such an arrogant and domineering man. Now that he sees Gong Gong defeated by you, he will definitely go out to fight in person tomorrow and do his best to kill you to avenge today's shame."

He patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and said with a smile, "General Han Xin is right. Xiang Yu is a man of great martial arts skills, and his Qi cultivation is unfathomable."

"If he goes into battle personally, General Yang, you must be careful!"

Pei Xingjian took over the conversation and said with a serious expression.

"General Yang, we have already experienced Xiang Yu's bravery. If he strikes, it will be as powerful as thunder and lightning."

"Although you and I both have confidence, the battlefield is ever-changing, so we must not underestimate the enemy."

"I have discussed with General Pei that in tomorrow's battle, you should show weakness to the enemy, lure them into our deep territory, lead Xiang Yu to the place we designate, and then let General Wang attack suddenly, which will surely lead to success."

Han Xin nodded and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, General Yang. Xiang Yu is a very conceited man. If you show any weakness, he will think he has an opportunity and lead his army to chase you."

"By then, we can prepare in advance, and maybe we will have a chance to inflict heavy damage on Xiang Yu in one fell swoop!"

Pei Xingjian on the side also echoed.

Yang Jian listened to their plan, but was silent for a moment. Then he lowered his head and thought for a while, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Han Xin and Pei Xingjian were surprised upon seeing this, and they all looked at Yang Jian, waiting for his response.

"General Han Xin, General Pei, I appreciate your kindness, but I have an unwelcome request in my heart."

"I have been practicing Taoist martial arts since I was young. Although I dare not say that I have reached the highest level, I am quite confident in my own strength."

"I have heard of Xiang Yu for a long time. He is the pinnacle of the Gangqi-side generals. I have always wanted to have a formal confrontation with him to see how big the gap between me and him is."

After a long time, Yang Jian finally raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he said firmly.

To be honest, although Yang Jian had often competed with Wang Xiangyang several times when he was in Hengzhou.

But at that time, both parties were colleagues and they only talked to each other briefly.

Moreover, given Wang Xiangyang's personality, after the two of them got to know each other, it would be basically impossible for Wang Xiangyang to have murderous intent and use a killer move on Yang Jian.

Most of the time, Wang Xiangyang was actually teaching Yang Jian some moves.

In fact, Yang Jian himself could feel this, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, that was Wang Xiangyang's character.

He couldn't just say to Wang Xiangyang that he was determined to kill me and give me a hard blow, right?

Therefore, during this period of time, although Yang Jian had witnessed and even personally experienced the oppressive feeling of the war god with extreme Gang Qi.

But I have never really faced or even confronted anyone!

This duel with Xiang Yu, with Wang Xiangyang backing him up, might be the safest one for him to fight against the enemy's extremely powerful god of war.

How could Yang Jian not be eager to make a move? He could understand how big the real gap was between himself and the God of War with Ultimate Gang Qi, but his life was not in danger.

If you don't grab this good opportunity now, you may not have any chance later.

"General Yang, you are wrong. On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common, but there is only one life."

"Xiang Yu's attainments in martial arts have definitely reached the pinnacle of the world. If you fight him head-on, you will probably be in danger of losing your life."

Han Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice.
