Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 Going Against the Trend
Under Linwei City in Guangwei County, this city, as its name suggests, was built near the Wei River, but in fact there are many cities built along the Wei River, such as Huaili City in Fufeng County, Mei County, Chencang City, Ji County in Tianshui County, Xiangwu City in Longxi County, etc. It can be said that the Weihe River is a very key place. Ancient cities are generally built along the river, and the Weihe River connects Liangzhou in Guanzhong. The state plays an extremely important role.

Han Sui didn't leave many defenders in Linwei City, but relying on the terrain advantage, it was not easy for Zhang Wen's army to capture it. The strategy adopted by Han Sui's army was very simple, that is to stick to the city and not fight no matter what , Even if Bian Zhang was taken to the front of the battle as a hostage to threaten the defenders, they remained completely indifferent.

Han Sui seemed to know that Zhang Wen would take Bian Zhang out as a hostage to threaten him. He never came to Weicheng at all. Anyway, if you want to attack by force, you can attack by force. I don’t send too many troops to defend, but even so, If you want to pass smoothly, you have to go through a fierce battle.

Zhang Wen had no choice but to prepare to launch a strong attack. At this time, Xiang Yu did not show that he wanted to lead the army to the front. On the contrary, Sun Jian was very active and wanted to launch an attack as a vanguard.

Dong Zhuo saw that Xiang Yu's expression was different, so he found an opportunity to drink and chat with Xiang Yu alone.

"General Xiang, I also know that people don't say secret words. You don't seem to want to wipe out the rebels very quickly!" Dong Zhuo said straight to the point.

Xiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, but asked innocently. "Really? Am I showing it?"

"Hahaha!" Dong Zhuo laughed while holding his wine glass. "General Xiang, it's not the first day you and I have known each other. Although you are a man who leads the army and fights fiercely, you really can't hide things on your face. With a little experience, you can almost see what's going on in your heart." You can see it, I am a man of my age, how can I not see what you think?"

"General Dong, does he know what I'm thinking?" Xiang Yu's tone changed slightly. "I really want to know what General Dong knows."

"Don't worry, drink, drink." Dong Zhuo didn't continue talking, but pulled Xiang Yu to continue drinking. The alcohol content in this era is not high, and in this winter season, the wine must be heated first. It is more comfortable to drink afterwards.

After drinking for a long time, Dong Zhuo's face also began to change color. "General Xiang, ever since you killed my general Hua Xiong, I knew that you are not an ordinary person, and the future must be limitless. However, you also know that there are many people with great ambitions in this world, but the real There are not many people whose strength can match their ambitions."

"General Dong was joking. What kind of strength and ambition can I Xiang have? At most, I can only be a general. How dare I have any other ideas?" Xiang Yu smiled slightly, showing an elusive expression Come. "On the contrary, General Dong is majestic and has an extraordinary bearing. If General Dong has the will to stand on his own in the future, Xiang will be willing to follow."

"Hmm! Don't say that!" The expression on Dong Zhuo's face changed slightly, but finally he smiled. "General Xiang is not happy to say this, I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how dare I have second thoughts!"

Xiang Yu didn't say anything anymore, just looked at each other and smiled with Dong Zhuo, each with their own calculations in their hearts.

It can be said that compared with the previous life, Xiang Yu has actually made great progress in political literacy, and he is no longer completely like a stunned young man, but his political strategy is different from some of the people of this era. Compared with top experts, there is still a big gap.

I don't know if it's because both Dong Zhuo and Xiang Yu saw something similar to themselves in each other, so in fact, they both had a tacit understanding, knowing that the other party actually had other ideas, but after a few After some probing, Dong Zhuo felt that the current Xiang Yu was still very immature, and he also tended to believe that Xiang Yu might really want to follow him.

Just like in history, he also believed that Lu Bu would always follow him loyally. Dong Zhuo actually had a very broad mind when dealing with his own people, and he was able to employ people without suspicion. Obviously not a person worthy of his trust, and Xiang Yu rarely said something against his will. This is not only a kind of growth for Xiang Yu, but also a kind of sadness.

After all, the current Xiang Yu no longer has so many heaven-defying advantages compared to himself in his previous life. If he wants to gain a firm foothold in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, he must first have a process of keeping a low profile, and he cannot be too early. His own ambitions were fully exposed.

People in this era always regard the Han Dynasty as orthodox in their hearts. No matter how difficult life is, few people will attribute the problem to the emperor or the court, but say that the emperor was killed by the eunuchs around him Bewitched, the power is controlled by some foreign relatives. Although the emperor made some mistakes, they were all small mistakes. You can oppose these eunuchs, foreign relatives and some gentry bureaucrats, but you must not oppose the emperor and challenge the Han Dynasty rule.

It has to be said that the Han Dynasty lasted for nearly 400 years, and it has perfectly inherited the unified dynasty established by Qin Shihuang from the system to the ideological system. People from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which were turbulent for many years, generally supported the unified dynasty ideologically.

So even if the Eastern Han Dynasty finally went to a state of existence in name only, Liu Bei could still support the banner of the Han clan and help the Han clan, and thus get a considerable degree of support, even if it was Cao Cao who really flattered the emperor instead of Liu Bei.

Interestingly, Xiang Yu also clearly realized this point. He realized that it is no longer the last year of the Qin Dynasty 400 years ago. The aristocratic forces still exist, and many people have not really accepted the unified system established by Qin Shihuang.

It is no longer possible for Xiang Yu to try to re-establish the enfeoffment system like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period after overthrowing the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Now he can only find a way to follow the direction of unification, or Great unification, or walking on the road of great unification, there is no other choice!
But if Xiang Yu's goal is to switch from simply overthrowing the Qin Dynasty or the current Eastern Han Dynasty to accomplishing the unification of the entire world, then he needs much more resources and support. He needs land , needs talents, needs a strong force to support him, and all of this must be done by himself.

In this era of heroes, how can Xiang Yu stand out and become the brightest star among them?
