Chapter 318: The Peripheral
Roche raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean…?"
Huang Yueying said: "I have another news in my hand. The uprising army in Jicheng has announced that it will hold an alliance of the uprising army and invite all heroes to participate and discuss future opportunities together."
Roqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Which power is the rebel army in Jicheng?"
Huang Yueying said: "I heard that it is the rumored Xiang clan. They have been the generals of Chu for generations and have always had outstanding prestige. Among them, Xiang Yu is the recognized number one general in the world."
Luo Qi was shocked and said, "Xiang Yu?"
Huang Yueying sighed: "I guess everyone will have the same expression as you when they hear his name."
Roche smiled and said, "Now I have an idea."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Associate the alliance?"
Luo Qi nodded and said, "Since they have started to hold an alliance, then joining them is our best choice. As long as we can establish friendly cooperation with each other, we will no longer fight alone. The revival of the country of Yue is just around the corner, let alone if we can meet Xiang Yu, we may still be friends."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you interested in him?"
Roqi did not answer and said, "You just said that he is the number one general in the world. I wonder what evidence do you have?"
Huang Yueying sighed: "When Chu State was still there, Xiang Yu was already famous. At that time, he was only a young man who was not yet in his prime, but his subordinates had no opponents who could withstand three rounds. Because his military achievements were really difficult to be awarded, the King of Chu at that time appointed him as the King of Western Chu. At that time, he was not yet sixteen years old..."
Luo Qi looked calm, but an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
Huang Yueying said: "When you restore Yue Kingdom, Qin Kingdom will definitely have serious internal friction. At that time, you no longer need to be afraid of the danger of Qin Kingdom. Then you can return the engagement to Zhen Mi, right?"
Roqi raised his eyebrows and said, "That engagement is meaningless by then, why are you so persistent?"
Huang Yueying said: "Because this means a beginning for me."
Roche sighed slightly and said nothing.
The situation in Qin State is turbulent.
After Xiang Liang crossed the long river, he headed straight to Anyang, which was where Zhang Hantun was stationed. This decisive battle was in line with the wishes of both sides and was obviously inevitable.
On the eve of the decisive battle, Xiang Liang happened to receive two gifts.
At that time, there was a county official named Chen Ying. After hearing that there were constant uprisings in various places, the local people killed the local county magistrate and established themselves. Because Chen Ying treated people well on weekdays, he recommended him as the leader and hoped that he could be king. Chen Ying was hesitant about this.
Chen Ying's mother advised him, I have been married to your Chen family for decades. It seems that your ancestors have never had a person. Now they suddenly lose the title of king. It is for ominousness. It is better to find a hero to surrender. If you succeed, you can gain wealth and honor. If you fail, you will not be the culprit.
Chen Ying followed his mother's words and took Xiang Liang to surrender. All the 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hand belonged to the Xiang family. The strength of the coalition army suddenly grew much stronger.
The second gift was given by Ying Bu.
Ying Bu was once corporal punishment, and then went to Mount Li to build a tomb for Ying Zheng. He led his troops to escape, and then became a water bandit, wandering in the river with no one to control. When he heard that Xiang Liang was going to fight Zhang Han, he led his troops to join him. For a moment, the coalition forces were in great power.
The troops brought by the four Northern Wei countries began to completely encroach on the territory of Qin. After the famous general Wang Jian defeated Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's troops, he immediately led his troops to resist. The two sides fought hard to separate. After a long stalemate, Meng Tian and Bai Qi finally began a small-scale contact war.
The situation became increasingly darker, and the war between the Xiang family coalition and Zhang Han started in such a background.
Since Zhang Han led his troops to fight, he rarely encountered trouble. This time, he naturally did not take the Xiang family seriously. However, after the two sides began to fight, he realized the strength of the elite soldiers of Chu Xiang. The two sides fought each other and each side had their own victory or defeat, and Xiang Yu was even more overwhelming on the battlefield and no one could stop him.
After several battles, the Qin army was frustrated.
Then the coalition forces were preparing to attack the city, but unfortunately it was raining and it was not conducive to filling the ditch and siege. The war could only be heard temporarily. The coalition forces set up camp and began to have a banquet to celebrate the victory.
Liu Bang's tent was brightly lit.
Liu Bang drank a glass of wine and sighed: "After the victory of this war, the Xiang family's edge will be unstoppable. Xiao He, let's figure it out, how long will it take for them to destroy Zhang Han?"
Xiao He shook his head and said, "It's hard to say who wins and who loses."
Liu Bang said in surprise: "Now that Zhang Han has been beaten to retreat step by step, why can he still have the strength to fight back?"
Xiao He said: "Zhang Han is a general, and Xiang Liang obviously underestimated him too much. He had just a few small victories and began to underestimate the enemy. I was afraid that Zhang Han would take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack, so he caught Xiang Liang off guard."
Liu Bang hurriedly said, "What should we do?"
Xiao He smiled and said, "I have already planned this matter. Tomorrow, Pei Gong just needs to follow the plan."
Liu Bang smiled and said, "It's good."
The next day, in the tent.
Xiang Liang held the wine bottle and said, "The rain has been going on now. Now we will definitely suffer heavy losses when we attack the city gate. We will let Zhang Han live for a few more days. When the weather clears up, we will fight to capture Anyang. Do you have no objection to this?"
Liu Bang said: "The general's opinion is completely correct, but there is a proposal below."
Xiang Liang hurriedly said, "Please say it."
Liu Bang said: "Now Zhang Han dares to resist the general's power, and I think it is because he can get the support of the Qin army in Yongqiu and Waihuang counties on the east side. If we conquer these two places first, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Zhang Han."
Xiang Liang nodded and said, "This is a good idea."
Liu Bang hurriedly said: "If the general thinks this suggestion is feasible, he is willing to lead his troops to take Yongqiu and Waihuang for the general. I have many warriors under my command who can charge forward, let alone with the general's reputation, so I am not afraid of not being able to conquer these two places!"
When Xiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
Fan Zeng bowed and said, "If this is the case, I have a suggestion."
Xiang Liang hurriedly said, "Mr. Fan, please tell me."
Fan Zeng said: "If you can't defeat Yongqiu and Waihuang, it will encourage Zhang Han's arrogance, because I think it's better to send the deputy general to ensure that everything is foolproof."
Liu Bang cursed in his heart, still humble on his face: "But the deputy general is Zhang Han's nemesis. If he leaves here and Zhang Han takes the opportunity to attack us, wouldn't that be a big deal?"
Xiang Liang frowned and said, "Do you think Zhang Han in the city may counterattack?"
Liu Bang nodded and said, "If you are anxious, you can jump over the wall, let alone a famous general like Zhang Han. Once he learns that the deputy general has left, he is likely to make moves."
Roche came out and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Xiang Liang said: "Prince Yue means...?"
