June 11th, the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty.
Major General Xiang Yu personally led hundreds of thousands of Yue barbarians eastward from Chen County, intending to pass through Donghai County and go straight to the three counties of Langya, Linzi and Jiaodong.
Xiang Liang sent most of his troops eastward and left them to Xiang Yu himself to lead the army. The target was naturally the grain and weapons in the three warehouses of Langya Cang in Langya County, Huangcang in Linzi County, and Xiancang in Jiaodong County.
Originally, Xiang Liang asked Xiang Yu to lead his army northward from Dangjun, first take the grain from Chen Liucang in Dangjun, and then go east out of Xuejun, Jibei, to Langya, and then to Linzi and Jiaodong.
But seeing the excitement on Xiang Yu's face when he heard that he would lead the army eastward gradually disappearing after he arranged the march route, Xiang Liang finally changed his mind.
Xiang Liang directly asked Xiang Yu to lead the army to capture the counties along the Sishui County, and sent troops to take over. Then he went east from Sishui to Donghai County, then changed his route from the East China Sea to the north to attack Langya County and Jiaodong County, and finally captured the former capital of Qi State and now Linzi County of Qin Dynasty.
The county government is Linzi.
In Xiang Liang's plan, after Xiang Yu's army captures Linzi, they will eventually form a pincer attack from the southeast with the army he leads, and directly attack Sanchuan County!
If Sanchuan County falls, then Shandong and other places east of Hangu Pass in the Great Qin Dynasty will be said to be completely gone.
With the two armies united, as long as Hangu Pass can be captured quickly, then the Qin Dynasty will be said to have completely opened its arms to the restored Chu State or the survivors of the Six Kingdoms!
The period of destruction is just around the corner!
One of the important reasons why Xiang Liang finally changed his plan was because of the Yu clan in Donghai County. Of course, in Xiang Yu's view, his uncle chose the second update in order to let him meet his sweetheart Yu Ji.
For the long and dangerous way out east.
The Yu clan has been living in Xiapi County in the East China Sea since the Chu Kingdom was still there, and the Yu clan has gradually become a prominent family in the East China Sea because of their superb skills in making weapons!
Also because of the superb skills of the Yu family, the Xiang family has always been on good terms with the Yu family who lived in the East China Sea for the same generation, both after and before the fall of the Chu State!
The Great Qin destroyed Chu. The Chu Kingdom lost countless aristocratic families of the same size as the Yu clan. However, because the Yu clan left the Central Plains and lived in a remote place like the East China Sea, they finally escaped and were not destroyed by the Great Qin.
The subsequent massacre was not affected at all.
Not long after the Yu family heaved a sigh of relief because the remaining nobles of Chu finally compromised with Da Qin and Da Qin's subsequent appeasement policy, the First Emperor issued an edict to "collect all the troops in the world and gather them in Xianyang."
Along with this edict "Collect all the soldiers in the world and gather them in Xianyang" was also issued an edict to gather the craftsmen from all over the world in Xianyang.
Gathering craftsmen from all over the world to Xianyang, one is to have enough manpower to melt down the countless copper and iron weapons collected from all over the world, and the other is to build the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum of the First Emperor!
The Yu family, which started out as a forger of weapons, suddenly declined under these two consecutive edicts from the First Emperor!
Capturing the soldiers of the world also announced that in the future, in addition to Daqin Shangfang having the right to make copper and iron weapons and daily utensils, many families in Daqin whose main business is casting will directly face disaster.
The weapons that were originally the main business of the family could no longer be cast. A large number of the family's craftsmen were transferred and escorted to Xianyang in Guanzhong. How could the nobles of the aristocratic families who started their fortunes in forging survive?
This move would not only cut off the foundations of many wealthy and distinguished families whose main profit was foundry, including the Yu family, but also directly cut off all their branches and vines!
After this incident, the Yu family, which was originally a prominent family in the East China Sea, was completely defeated!
By the time Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu fled to their hometown in Jiangdong, Kuaiji County, the originally huge Yu family, a prominent family in the East China Sea, could only live a little better than ordinary people!
The Yu clan, which was originally prosperous and had almost a thousand craftsmen in its heyday, only has less than a hundred people left, and they are scattered throughout Xiapi County, completely reduced to a mass of scattered sand.
Yu Ji is the daughter of Yu Tong, the nominal head of the Yu family of this generation!
In addition to Yu Ji, Yu Tong also had a son, Yu Ziqi, Yu Ji’s brother!
Yu Ziqi, the elder brother of Yu Ji, was the Yu Ziqi who was known as the "Five Tiger Generals" under Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, along with Long Qie, Ji Bu, Ying Bu, and Zhong Limei in the original history.
However, today's history shows that Xiang Liang, who was supposed to have not raised troops at this moment, has already crossed the Huaihe River, and Xiang Yu, who was supposed to gather the "Five Tiger Generals" after crossing the Huaihe River, now only has childhood sweethearts who grew up together under his command.
The fierce general is only one person!
Xiang Liang is not dead yet. As Wu Rui's daughter-in-law, Yingbu's status is still the same as that of Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu, who has not yet taken over the throne, naturally cannot let Yingbu, who is extremely proud and conceited, willingly serve as his general at this moment!
Zhongliwei, who was supposed to seek refuge with Xiang Yu, is now on his way west! He hasn't passed Hangu Pass yet!
Zhongliwei was a childhood sweetheart with Han Xin, who is now General Ba, so the purpose of Zhongliwei's journey to the west is naturally self-evident!
Zhongliwei, who was supposed to die at the hands of Han Xin in history, will obviously fight side by side with his brother in this life!
History, under the influence of Hu Hai, has completely deviated from its original track. No one knows what great changes will happen next and where it will go!
Yu Ji and Xiang Yu are not familiar with each other at this moment, and can even be said to be somewhat unfamiliar. The words they have spoken together at this moment can probably be counted on one hand.
After Xiang Liang raised his army, he sent Xiang Yu to the Yu family in the East China Sea to discuss the casting of weapons. This was the first time Xiang Yu saw Yu Ji, who had only just reached the hairpin and was already showing her allure.
Xiang Yu was immediately shocked when he saw it. However, because Yu Tong, the leader of the Yu clan, always had an ambiguous attitude, Xiang Yu did not stay in the Yu clan for too long and returned depressed.
Yu Tong knew the strength of Qin very well, and he also knew Xiang Liang's strength, so he was very hesitant about Xiang Liang inviting his Yu family to build weapons for the Xiang family's army to jointly fight against Qin!
Although Great Qin can be said to be the main culprit for the defeat of the Yu clan, Great Qin is not just targeting the Yu clan, but the entire world!
Yu Tong still sees this very clearly!
Yu Tong was not optimistic about Xiang Liang's rebellion against Qin. In his opinion, the Qin Dynasty could defeat the nearly one million strong and well-trained Chu troops led by the famous general Xiang Yan.
Army, so now, no matter from the generals, soldiers, or weapons and other aspects, Xiang Liang, who was not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Chu State at that time, had no chance of winning!
Although Yu Tong also wanted to restore the glory of the Yu family in the past, compared with Xiang Liang's promise of "the moon in the mirror and the moon in the water", restoring the family's glory is obviously more important than restoring the family's glory!
Xiang Yu's army marched all the way, and all the counties along the way, including Chen County, Sishui County, and Donghai County, which were now almost undefended areas, fell into the wind.
Naturally, Xiapi County also received news that the Chu army of the Xiang clan was coming!
The magistrate of Xiapi County led the officials at all levels in Xiapi, as well as Yu Tong, Yu Ziqi and nearly a hundred Yu clan members, waiting quietly at the gate of Xiapi County with the city gate wide open!
There was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and a young general with a thick three-foot spear in his hand and wearing black armor who looked like a god was sitting on a black divine war horse that was almost as tall as an adult. He appeared on the road in front of the city and was running straight towards the city.
Xiapi County is coming quickly!!~!
