Chapter 20 The Army Divides into Two Routes, Chen Sheng Falls

ten days later.

After preparing the food and grass for one month in the army, Xiong Xin was urging Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu to lead the army to go out to rescue Qi and Wei respectively.

Qi State now occupies Linzi County, Jimo County and half of Langya County. If Xiang Liang goes to rescue from Pengcheng, he only needs to pass through Donghai County, which is their own territory.

But if Xiang Yu wants to go to save Wei, it will be more troublesome.

Now the state of Wei is compressed in Yingchuan County, and Huaiyang County in the middle is now chaotic with Wang Ben chasing Chen Shengxuan.

Before the expedition, the flag ceremony.

Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and other generals went up to make a brief oath, then offered sacrifices, and then beat the drums.

It's just that the soldiers' fighting spirit was not high at this time, and they just shouted a few words symbolically.

At the front of the line, Xiang Yu tilted his head and asked regretfully, "Jiang Ning, are you sure you are going with your uncle this time?"

After finally being able to lead the army alone, he believed that there would be many opportunities for him to make meritorious deeds. If Chen Luo was with him, then maybe if he shared more military exploits with Chen Luo, he might be able to get the other party a title.

Chen Luo nodded: "I believe that Brother Yu's trip this time will definitely be beneficial, and I don't need my assistance at all."

He is right.

Xiang Yu's tactical style of play was the only one in the late Qin Dynasty. Even if he failed in the end in history, it was a problem in strategy and politics, which should not be confused.

Therefore, Chen Luo followed Xiang Yu, and at most did some work of checking for omissions and making up for vacancies, and coordinating food and grass.

Xiang Yu sighed in bewilderment: "A lot of people are following my uncle now, even if it's a big victory in the end, you won't get much credit for it."

Chen Luo shook his head and said, "I didn't go this time for fame and fortune."

Historically, Xiang Liang was defeated by Zhang Han and died on the battlefield.

Now that the world line has changed, the person to deal with Chen Sheng has become Wang Li, while Zhang Han has destroyed Zhao Weiqi, and his record is not inferior to the original history.

It just so happened that Xiang Liang was sent to rescue Qi again, so he would have to confront Zhang Han again as in history.

In fact, if Xiang Yu went to rescue Qi and Xiang Liang went to rescue Wei, Chen Luo would feel relieved.

However, compared with Qi State, Wei State has much lower reputation and strength than Qi State. If the two countries ask for help at the same time, if Xiong Xin sends Xiang Liang, the commander of Chu State, to lead the army to rescue Wei, then Qi State will definitely understand.

This is not something that Chen Luo can influence the decision.

All he had to choose was to follow the army to rescue Wei, let Xiang Liang fight steadily and not rush forward.

Seeing Chen Luo's resolute answer, Xiang Yu stopped persuading him: "I am very relieved that you are with my uncle."

Then he narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Jiang Ning, just wait for the good news from my side. The drink ten days ago, I will return it to you when I come back."

Good guy, you are afraid that you don't have enough flags on your body.

Chen Luo glanced at Xiang Yu and smiled helplessly.

At this time, Xiong Xin was standing on the high platform where soldiers were ordered. After eating and drinking for more than two months, he was no longer thin, and his body had a little momentum.

He encouraged: "The generals led the army to go out to break the siege of the friendly countries. It is really a display of the power of the Great Chu. After the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, it is possible to confer the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and even to crack the soil and seal the border, as long as you have enough credit in your hands!"

Xiong Xin's speech was actually a big picture, but the effect was quite obvious, and many people showed excitement.

Especially Song Yi who was not far behind Xiang Liang. He was originally the Ling Yin of the Chu Kingdom. After Qin destroyed Chu, he was in constant panic like a bereaved dog. Therefore, now that he has the opportunity to regain his former glory and wealth, he absolutely cannot give up.

In the end, Xiong Xin waved his hand and announced: "Let's go!"

Xiang Liang led an army of [-] to Linzi County; Xiang Yu led an army of [-] to Wang Ben in Huaiyang County.

Five days later.

Xiang Liang's army reached the border between Donghai County and Langya County, and if they went further, they would enter the actual control area of ​​the Qin Dynasty.

Just at this time, another piece of bad news came.

Chen Sheng, who was originally chased in Huaiyang County, was killed by his own coachman in the rebellion army, and he was handed over to Wang Li as a certificate of surrender.

After getting the news, Xiang Liang immediately called everyone in the tent and started discussing the matter.

Xiang Liang said solemnly: "I expected that the Qin army would still be strong, but I didn't expect that King Chen would not be able to survive for three months, and he would be defeated. It seems that it will not be easy to save Qi."

Calculated according to the time when Wang Li dispatched troops from Guanzhong, it has indeed only taken more than three months.

When Chen Sheng was the most powerful, from Huaiyang to Shangdang, all belonged to the sphere of influence he could influence, but he died overnight.
"Chen Sheng is nothing more than a mere garrison, and suddenly becoming king is not a natural born noble, and failure is normal." Song Yi continued at this time, "Now the king is the descendant of King Huai, and the general is the descendant of General Xiang Yan. This is naturally different."

Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "General Song, I'm calling everyone to discuss the next plan to save Qi, not to listen to these things. I hope you can give some useful suggestions."

Song Yi is attached to Xiong Xin, not Xiang's. This time, Xiang Liang's side will be Song Yi, and it seems that Xiong Xin is using him to restrain him.

Xiang Sheng at the side also added: "Chen Situ was also the one who followed King Chen to revolt. According to you, you also look down on Chen Situ?"

Seeing this, Chen Luo, who was mentioned, smiled and said, "General Song's words are quite biased. In fact, if you want me to say, everyone here has received a little shadow from King Chen.

If he hadn't taken the lead in rebelling against Qin and advocating righteousness, General Song might have dealt with Qin officials somewhere. How could he lead an army of tens of thousands here?

What's more, it's totally unreasonable to judge whether success can be achieved based on one's background. At that time, Tai Gongwang was just a countryman, and Qin Prime Minister Baili Xi was even a slave. Did General Song think that his achievements were better than theirs? "

His impression of Chen Sheng was actually not very good in his heart, not to mention that he had heard the news that Chen Sheng still killed Wu Guang a while ago, which was a deduction of points.

In calling herself queen, Chen Sheng deteriorated too quickly.

If he could keep his original intention, Chen Luo might not have chosen to leave at that time.

But Chen Sheng's achievements are undeniable.

He can become No. 1 against the Qin Dynasty from a Luzuo disciple, which is far better than Song Yi, who relied on his ancestors.

Song Yi was repeatedly refuted, and with a livid face, he dropped a sentence: "Then I would like to know what Chen Situ's wisdom is, to be able to repel the Qin army and break the siege of Qi."

Then he lowered his head and said nothing more.

Xiang Liang said with a gentle smile in his superior position: "General Song, don't be angry, but Chen Situ is more straightforward. Everyone is here to defeat Qin Bing, and we still need to work together."

What he said inside and outside, was actually speaking for Chen Luo.

Song Yi could only swallow his anger, and reluctantly agreed twice.

At this time, Chen Luo continued: "General Xiang, I do have a good plan to offer."
