The night when Long Qi came back, Xiang Yu personally hosted a banquet to entertain him, but since then, the two of them never talked about it again.

Both sides know this situation well.

However, this did not affect Xiang Yu's reuse of Long Qi.

The day after Long Qi returned, Xiang Yu asked him to be fully responsible for Lin You's army and horses, and handed him over the important task of defending Lin You.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiang Yu's trust in Long Qi remains undiminished.

But only Long and himself knew that Xiang Yu was testing him.

In name, he was in charge of all military affairs, but in fact, Xiang Yu had the final say. Even the deputy generals around him were Xiang Yu's confidant.

He sighed slightly, and Long Qi stood at the top of the city, looking forward with infinite emotion, thinking.

After a while, a team of people suddenly appeared in his sight, which made him feel energetic and shouted loudly: "If there is an enemy situation, the whole army is on guard!"

Crazy-

Hearing Long Qi's voice, the soldiers on the city suddenly came back to their senses, clasped their weapons, set up crossbow arrows, and prepared to face the enemy.

However, what was surprising was that the deputy general next to Long Qi said with joy: "Let them go! Put them down your weapons! They are friendly troops, and the princes invited by the king!"

"Um?"

When Long Qi heard this, he frowned and then looked closely. Sure enough, he found that this team of people was holding different flags.

Are they really the princes?

But they are coming, why don’t they know?

No one notified himself...

Long Qi, who was very confused but very calm on the surface, turned his head and looked at the deputy general: "Why are these princes coming now?"

"It would be nice if you could come!"

The deputy general said helplessly, and then told Long Qi about the whole story.

Only then did Long Qi realize that after the Fufeng Camp was attacked, the 200,000 coalition forces lurking by the Weishui River actually refused to save them. In the end, they even disobeyed Xiang Yu's orders and refused to join the alliance.

In fact, the princes were afraid of Xiang Yu before because Xiang Yu was strong and had outstanding military achievements.

Now Xiang Yu was defeated in Yongcheng and fled to Linyou under the desperate escort of his generals. Although he had gathered a lot of remaining troops, his strength was not as good as before, so the princes no longer had awe of him.

After all, everyone has similar troops and no one has the advantage.

What's more, as the commander of the coalition, Xiang Yu was defeated by the son of the Qin Emperor, which really lost his prestige.

In addition, some people were dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's dominance before. Seeing that he lost power, how could he be controlled by him again?

However, if they don't want to do whatever they want.

After assisting Zhao Kun to attack Fufeng, Jiang Chao rushed to the coalition camp without stopping, and then asked the members of the special operation team lurking beside the princes to threaten them under the name of Xiang Yu.

At the beginning, the princes were not afraid at all, but later the people around them were killed one after another, and they couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

It happened that at this moment, Xiang Yu sent another secret letter, saying that they would invite them to ambush Zhao Kun in Linyou, so the princes seemed to have found a step and agreed to the Linyou alliance.

That's how Long Qi saw the huge scene in front of him.

Ambush Li Anjun in Linyou?

Will he come?

Long Qi pondered for a moment, then silently said to himself: "No matter whether it comes or not, it is the enemy, the enemy... I will fight to the death!"

After saying that, his eyes became particularly firm, and he looked up at the deputy general beside him and said, "Go and notify the king, I will guard this place!"

"promise!"

The deputy general replied and ran to the Central Military Camp excitedly.

.........

When the princes from all walks of life entered the city to rest for a night, the next morning, Xiang Yu dressed in the Western Chu King's robe and gathered with the princes in front of the Linyou altar.

There were three animals on the altar, including pigs, cows and sheep. The princes and soldiers also watched their kings and princes support each other and walked towards the altar together.

This symbolizes their observance and mutual assistance and unity.

When all the princes arrived, Xiang Yu, as the leader of the alliance, took the lead in cutting his palms and pinched a ball of blood and dripping it into the wine jar.

The other princes cut their hands one after another and dripped their blood into the wine jar.

......

What's more, Xiang Yu, as the commander of the coalition army, was defeated by the son of the Qin Emperor, which really made a big drop in prestige.

In addition, someone had been dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's dominance before. Seeing that he lost power, how could he be controlled by him again?

However, if they don't want to do whatever they want.

After assisting Zhao Kun to attack Fufeng, Jiang Chao rushed to the coalition camp without stopping, and then asked the members of the special operation team lurking beside the princes to threaten them under the name of Xiang Yu.

At the beginning, the princes were not afraid at all, but later the people around them were killed one after another, and they couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

It happened that at this moment, Xiang Yu sent another secret letter, saying that they would invite them to ambush Zhao Kun in Linyou, so the princes seemed to have found a step and agreed to the Linyou alliance.

That's how Long Qi saw the huge scene in front of him.

Ambush Li Anjun in Linyou?

Will he come?!

......

Then, Xiang Yu personally poured the wine from the wine jar into the bowls of various princes.

"Today's gathering with Linyou is like the alliance that destroyed Qin in the past. The princes of the six kingdoms, what we sought is nothing more than destroying the tyrannical Qin and clarifying the universe!"

As he said that, Xiang Yu raised the wine bowl and said proudly: "The hatred of our ancestors will be unforgettable for life. The hatred of our family and country will be paid for blood debts!"

"National hatred and family hatred, blood debt and blood repayment--!"

As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, the princes immediately agreed, and the soldiers below the stage also shouted.

For a moment, the entire Linyou City shouted loudly, and even the fallen leaves around the altar couldn't help but fly.

The previously sluggish morale also recovered a little.

Just before the ceremony was held, Xiang Yu coughed suddenly, and then a mouthful of blood spurted onto the altar.

"this....."

Seeing this, the princes changed their faces and couldn't help but look at Xiang Yu in surprise.

Xiang Yu gritted his teeth in an instant, clenched his fists, forcibly controlling the urge to continue coughing.

King Tian of Qi looked at him in surprise, then looked at the princes, and asked carefully: "Is the overlord injured? Do you want to take a rest?"

The princes instantly heard the subtext.

Xiang Yu was injured, and it seemed that his injuries were unclear.

Then why did he invite us to defeat Qin one after another?

Just as the princes were speculating, Xiang Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "It's just an old disease, it's not a big injury. The alliance is imminent, so don't delay it. It's not too late to talk about this when our alliance is over!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but no longer hesitated. After all, the alliance has reached its last step. Even if there are any doubts, the alliance must be completed first.

So Xiang Yu drank the bloody wine in the bowl in one gulp, then looked up at the princes.

The princes did not hesitate, and drank it all in one go, completely completing the last step of the alliance.

After everything was finished, the princes surrounded Xiang Yu and went to the central army's tent to discuss the ambush of Zhao Kun.

...........

In the central army's tent, Xiang Yu returned to his former domineering aura, sitting in the main seat and chatting and laughing. It seemed that the person who vomited blood on the altar before was not Xiang Yu himself.

Seeing Xiang Yu's expression, the princes also dispelled their doubts and began to chat and laugh with Xiang Yu.

"King, in the Battle of Yongcheng, we are trapped in the new weapons of the Qin army and cannot support it in time. I feel guilty. I hope the king will punish you!"

While talking and laughing, Han Wangcheng spoke coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the princes couldn't help but change their faces, and they all bowed their heads and said to themselves that this guy didn't open the pot of his mouth.

Xiang Yu smiled generously and said, "In the battle of Yongcheng, I am all blamed for not thinking well and being trapped in Zhao Kun's trick. Besides, the new weapon has suffered a lot, so no wonder everyone!"

Valley Breeze

When the princes heard this, they looked up in shock, as if they didn't expect Xiang Yu to admit his mistake on his own initiative. In the past, they could not even think about it.

After hesitating a little, the princes agreed; "The king does not need to blame himself. We have indeed done something wrong, so I hope the king will punish him!"

"I hope the king will punish you!"

The princes bowed to Xiang Yu in unison.

Xiang Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Today's alliance, Linyou, I'm very happy that you can come to me. It doesn't matter whether you blame or punish. The most urgent thing is to destroy Zhao Kun and overthrow the Qin Dynasty!"

Hearing this, the princes breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were asking for punishment on the surface, they were actually testing Xiang Yu's attitude.
