Prime Minister of Great Qin

In the third year of Qin II, July.

Han Xin's sudden surprise attack at the turn of winter and spring completely broke the old situation in Kanto.

The entire Kanto atmosphere suddenly became intense.

Especially after Han Xin destroyed Chen Yu, he worked almost non-stop. He led the 70,000 troops collected in the two places and directly devoted himself to the attack on Qi. In conjunction with the attack of Liu Ji and other soldiers from Dang County, Tian Dan and others The local nobles are under a lot of pressure.

at the same time.

Song Yi also welcomed Xiong Xin back.

In the name of the King of Chu, he issued orders to Xiang Liang and other nobles, and repeatedly ordered Xiang Liang to lead his troops to besiege Dang County to relieve the pressure on Tian Qi.

Pengcheng.

After leading the troops again and being called back.

Xiang Ji could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

He went to Xiang Liang's camp angrily, pushed open the door directly, and said angrily: "Uncle, this Song Yi really bullied people too much. He brought Xiong Xin back with his own strength, and won the consent of other nobles to have him Since I was honored as the King of Chu, I thought I was superior to others and treated me as a worn-out shoe. I came and waved away as soon as I was summoned. If Song Yi, a villain, had not been a hindrance, he had repeatedly stumbled on the food and grass. In a mere Dang County, I have already obtained the title of Xiang Ji."

"This person doesn't have any good intentions."

"If we let him continue to cause mischief around Xiong Xin, I'm afraid that all our elite members will be wasted on long-distance attacks."

"Uncle, we can't go on any longer!"

Hear the words.

Xiang Liang's face was also quite ugly.

But Xiong Xin is still the king of Chu in name only.

He was also recommended by the nobles of Chu.

Xiang Liang scolded: "Don't call the king by his name."

"How can I not know what you are talking about? But now is not the time for internal strife. If there is chaos in our Chu land, even if the Qin people are proud, it will also greatly weaken the strength of my Chu land. For now, I will tolerate him for a while."

"Endure it? How long will you have to endure it?" Xiang Ji said angrily: "We raised troops from Wu County, Kuaiji County. At that time, we had 8,000 men. After occupying Kuaiji, our troops expanded to 30,000. Then we went north, and our troops were always reduced. It’s strictly limited to 30,000, but what about Song Yi and the others?”

"They seized Sishui, Huaiyang, Jiujiang and part of Donghai County first, and their military strength was fully twice that of ours."

"There is even more food and grass."

"Now they are holding the trust of the King of Chu hostage, constantly withholding and deducting my Xiang family's food and grass, and constantly consuming my Xiang family's troops. What are their intentions, uncle, can't you see? They simply can't tolerate me. The Xiang family will grow bigger.”

"My uncle always said that the overall situation is the most important thing."

"I, Mr. Xiang, take into account the overall situation."

"where are they?"

"They had many soldiers and sufficient food, but they only led troops to clean up the surrounding small towns. Pengcheng and Liuxian were captured by my Xiang clan with all their strength. My Xiang clan's children sacrificed their lives to defeat them, but now they are defeated by these people. They occupied it openly, and they were even unwilling to replenish our troops and food for the Xiang family."

“In my opinion, it’s okay not to have such an ally!”

Xiang Ji's eyes widened in anger.

Venting out the anger that had been held in his heart for a long time.

He just had enough.

Ever since Kuaiji County went north, almost everything has gone wrong. Not only have they been manipulated in various ways, but they have also been deprived of food and grass, and they have even been prevented from expanding their soldiers. Every time there is a call for help from other places, they have to rush to help. If not If Xiang Liang stopped him, he might have killed Song Yi long ago.

This time.

He was about to capture Waihuang, but was forced to retreat due to Xiong Xin's order.

He was really angry.

Xiang Liang's expression darkened.

How could he not know what Xiang Ji said?

They and the Song family were not at odds with each other, but Song Yi took action a few years ago and found the descendants of the King of Chu who were hiding outside. This way he climbed over them and became one of the nobles of Chu. The most prestigious and highest-status being, and when Song Yi gained power, he, Xiang, was naturally squeezed out by all kinds of difficulties.

And other nobles are also making trouble in secret.

In fact, he had been dissatisfied for a long time, but he really couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

In addition, King Xiong Xin of Chu did not trust them.

There was nothing he could do.

And with the emergence of Han Xin, the original deadlock was suddenly broken. The situation in Guandong is now very unfavorable. If they fall out with Song Yi again at this time, not only will they be criticized and targeted by various forces, but they may also Greatly shaken the morale of Kanto.

This is something Xiang Liang has to consider.

At this time.

Fan Zeng stepped into it.

When he saw his uncle and nephew, who were at war with each other, Fan Zeng knew exactly what was going on.

If it had been before, he would probably have advised Xiang Ji not to be so angry and to put the overall situation first, but this time, he also thought it was time to change, otherwise he would have been bullied by Song Yi all the time. Strength will only stagnate or even regress.

This is not a good thing.

Once the Xiang family does not have enough strength, I am afraid that Song Yi and others will pounce on them like jackals and tear the Xiang family to pieces.

The struggle between nobles has always been cruel.

Seeing Fan Zeng come in, Xiang Liang's expression softened slightly and asked: "Brother Fan, what happened?" Fan Zeng nodded and said in a deep voice: "We were all deceived by Han Xin. He seemed to be dispatching troops. The attack on Qidi was actually just an illusion. It was just Liu Ji and others leading the men from Dang County and Dong County to attack, and it was a feint attack. Han Xin's main force had already secretly gone to Dai County, and was now attacking Zhao Xie. Now Zhao Xie is in charge. Send messages everywhere, hoping that Chu and Qi will send troops to help alleviate the danger in Zhao."

Hear the words.

Xiang Liang's complexion changed slightly.

He exclaimed: "Is what Brother Fan said true?"

"Then Han Xin didn't attack Qidi, but attacked Zhao Xie?"

"It's absolutely true." Fan Zeng affirmed.

Fan Zeng's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "This Han Xin soldiers are cunning and good at releasing all kinds of smoke. From the initial surprise attack on Yandi to kill Chen Yu, to the later pretending to attack Tiandan, in fact it was just a feint shot and diverted to Zhaodi. , we all played tricks on this guy.”

"Now Zhao Xie's main force is confronting Weng Zhong and Zhang Xi. If they withdraw their troops and return reinforcements, I'm afraid Wei Jiu and Han Cheng won't be able to handle it, and the entire situation in Guandong will collapse instantly, and our situation will become extremely difficult. "

"Once Han Xin is allowed to destroy Zhao Xie."

"The land of the Three Jin Dynasties has completely fallen into the hands of the Qin people."

"When the Qin army is united, its strength may reach 200,000. When they lead their troops southward, neither Shenyang, nor Gong Ao, nor Yingbu will be able to match the Qin people. Most of Guandong will undoubtedly fall by then. If it falls into the hands of the Qin people and is surrounded by an army of 200,000 to 300,000 people, we in Chuyue and Tianqi may not be able to withstand it."

"We can no longer sit back and wait."

"Continuing to accompany Song Yihua will lead to death."

Hear the words.

Xiang Liang's face changed slightly.

He strode to a sheepskin and looked at the map on it carefully.

His face became more and more serious.

The power of their nobles from the six countries has declined sharply.

If the land of the Three Jin Dynasties cannot withstand the Qin army's offensive and allows the Qin army to unite, they will be completely surrounded by the Qin army. When the Qin army is encircled and suppressed from all directions, it will be difficult for them to cope with it. Come down.

Sooner or later, it will be eaten away.

Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng and asked, "Brother Fan, do you have any good ideas?"

Fan Zeng stroked his beard, smiled, and said calmly: "There are currently two ways to break the situation."

"First, unite together and destroy the Qin forces in Dang County, so that the forces of the six countries like us can be connected together and attack and defend each other, which can greatly hinder the Qin army's colleagues, and even take the initiative to attack , but the Qin people in Dang County are now very cunning and will not leave the city at will. Most of them stick to the city and defend it. And with Chen Yu being killed, there is no force in the northern part of Dong County that can restrain Liu Ji and others. They can also Gather more troops to resist our offensive."

Hear the words.

Xiang Liang's expression moved slightly.

If they in Chu State work together, they can send out 100,000 troops. Together with the 100,000 troops in Qi District, there will be a total of 200,000. If they can really conquer Dangjun and Dongjun, they will completely break the existing Qin army's snare and control the world. The situation was reversed.

But as Fan Zeng said.

Now that Chen Yu has been eliminated, Liu Ji and others have no worries and can free up more troops and energy to compete. Moreover, Han Xin can also send reinforcements at any time. Once a stalemate is reached, or the attack cannot be taken for a long time, Han Xin can wait until Han Xin takes the three In the land of Jin, they might have no choice but to flee.

more importantly.

He did not believe that the Chu nobles, Tian Dan and others would work together.

Tian Dan has a narrow vision and no ambitions. He only sees his own one-third of an acre of land. If at the beginning of the world's turmoil, Tian Dan had a little bit of ambition and ambition, he would just go out and get Liu Ji and others. Can people gain a foothold in Dang County?

Tian Qi is already the strongest.

As a result, they have been working hard but not contributing, and they have only sent out troops to make money.

Before, he had been claiming that he only had 50,000 troops, but Han Xin was so excited that he immediately turned into 100,000 troops. If Tian Dan could send out these 100,000 troops early to join forces with them to attack Dang County, How could Liu Ji and others be allowed to be so rampant for so long?

If he continues to attack Dang County, his Xiang family's troops will undoubtedly be pushed to the front again.

If he wins, his Xiang family will also suffer heavy losses. If he loses and his strength is greatly reduced, I'm afraid Song Yi and others will fall into trouble.

The idea was entirely to make a wedding dress for someone else.

Thankless effort.

Xiang Liang was not very willing.

The most important thing is that it is right under Xiong Xin's nose.

His Xiang family will suffer no matter what.

Xiang Liang said solemnly: "This idea is not appropriate."

"Not to mention Han Xin's soldiers and horses, who can rush to the aid of Dang County in the East County, Liu Ji and others are also cunning and cunning. If we are in a stalemate, Han Xin will be able to buy enough time to sweep through the three Jin areas. At that time, even if Dangjun and Dongjun were captured, the situation was over."

"and"

"I can't trust Song Yi and Tian Dan."

"The current situation in the world is turbulent, and I, the Xiang family, are in the middle of it. I am already in a difficult position. If I continue to be manipulated by others, I may never have a chance to turn around."

"Brother Fan, let's talk about the second method."

Fan Zeng nodded.

He is also not optimistic about this strategy.

He said solemnly: "As for the second method, it is to advance westward."

"Han Xin wants to break through the Three Jins, so we will rush to help and prevent Han Xin from advancing even an inch." (End of Chapter)
