Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Chapter 342 Entering Guanzhong
"Your Majesty, do you think this Qin general is really trustworthy?!" Fang Xuanling felt that it was too dangerous to let Li Jing lead the troops directly, and he also appointed a member of the Qin clan as his deputy general.

Liu Hua said to Fang Xuanling confidently with a smile on his face: "A person who knows the current affairs is a hero. With this talent, I am willing to give him a chance to let the world have more trust. And now there is the strongest army in the world. The strongest commander in the world, even if he betrays him, why can't he suppress him with a backhand?"

Han Xin heard Liu Hua's words and had doubts about Liu Hua's saying that this person's talent was not inferior to his own.

Han Xin was somewhat disbelieving: "I want to test what this person is capable of. If he dares to rebel, I will kill the Qin army."

Liu Hua patted Han Xin on the shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter if you lead the rebel soldiers. As long as they don't fight with us, there is no need to kill the soldiers. God has a good heart, so just keep them alive."

"The general is still kind!" Du Ruhui on the side couldn't help but praise Liu Hua's words.

Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui, with some pity in his eyes.

Liu Hua knew that Li Jing was known as a weak figure in politics. In the historical dispute between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, he did not participate and chose to be neutral. If Li Jing had not been really outstanding, Li Jing would have come to an end.

But after taking refuge, he will do his best and do his best.

"Your Majesty, we will assemble the army at Hangu Pass and wait for news from Generals Li Jing and Zhao Ben." Fang Xuanling said.

"Let's go to Hangu Pass to reorganize the army first!" Liu Hua replied, thinking in his mind that it would be great if Zhao Ben betrayed him.

My trust in Da Qin has been rudely trampled on, so it shouldn't be too much to kill the royal family of Da Qin!

It’s just about killing the nine tribes.

In fact, neither Li Jing nor Zhao Ben thought about betraying Liu Hua at all.

Li Jing has clearly seen the general trend of the world, and it is only a matter of time before Liu Hua dominates the world.

In Zhao Bi's opinion, surrendering to Liu Hua is the way for the Great Qin clan to continue to survive. If he continues to follow the Great Qin court, Zhao Gao will kill all the Great Qin clan!

Therefore, Zhao Bi, with an extremely sacred consciousness of sacrifice, felt that he had to find a way to survive for the Qin clan.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Ben relied on his status in the Da Qin clan to almost surrender the cities in Da Qin where he passed without a fight. The road from Hanguguan to Xianyang was almost unimpeded.

At this moment, Zhao Bi even helped Liu Hua to recruit some rebels who were under the pressure of Da Qin's cruel laws and Zhao Gao's coercion. There were about 6 or [-] people, and they obviously planned to follow Liu Hua to cause trouble.

Liu Hua even suspected that they wanted to loot Xianyang more than he did.

Zhao Ben's overwhelming force in surrendering to the Great Qin forces in Guanzhong also made Yang Xiong, who was originally stationed in Wuguan, lose his mind to continue to defend Wuguan.

Yang Xiong decisively led the Qin army towards Xianyang, but Xiang Jian easily occupied Wuguan.

Xiang Jian successfully entered the Guanzhong territory from Wuguan. He also learned that Liu Hua had entered Guanzhong. At the same time, he also learned that the Detachment of Women had defeated the Imperial Guards of the Qin Dynasty.

"Liu Hua has actually led troops to break through Hangu Pass!" Xiang Jian was also surprised when he heard the news.

But when I think of the battles Liu Hua has experienced, it seems normal that Liu Hua can enter Hangu Pass with such overwhelming force.

"We need to join up with Liu Hua's army!" Fan Zeng said: "Otherwise the two armies are not subordinate to each other, and they are not even an alliance. I am afraid there will be misunderstandings. By then, it will be the loss of our anti-Qin forces!"

"Why can't we let that guy Liu Hua come over!" Long Qie couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily when he heard this.

Xiang Jian also ignored Long Qie. Whether he defeated Huangfu Song or achieved a complete victory in the battle with Yang Su, this shows Liu Hua's military talent and his contribution to the anti-Qin army.

The most important thing is that Wang Li defeated himself, but lost to Liu Hua, making Liu Hua's position unique in the coalition of princes.

Although Liu Hua cannot yet be called the uncrowned king, it is undeniable that Liu Hua can no longer be ignored among the anti-Qin forces.

"Zijing, when you go to the Han army, tell me that Xiang Jian is willing to cooperate with the Han army and let him clear a path!" Xiang Jian said to Lu Su. "No!" Lu Su answered simply, because he also wanted to meet the King of Han.

……

After Liu Hua reorganized his army at Hanguguan, he followed the path led by Li Jing and Zhao Ben to persuade him to surrender.

At this time, Lu Su came over as Xiang Jian's envoy.

He is quite elegant, handsome in appearance and chic in manner.

When Lu Su saw Liu Hua, he said respectfully, "Lu Su, the commander of the King of Chu, has met the King of Han."

"Sir, please take your seat!" Liu Hua invited Lu Su at the banquet, not at the meeting, and said: "The King of Chu and I met once at the Jujube Alliance. I didn't expect that the two of us would be gathered here at this moment. , I don’t know what the purpose of envoy Lu is when he comes here?”

Lu Su picked up the wine glass and took a sip. For some reason, Lu Su's every move gave people a sense of freedom and ease, as if the distance between the two parties had been invisibly shortened.

Lu Su said: "The King of Han is a generous man, so Zijing naturally speaks directly. My king is willing to be your right hand and assist you in attacking Xianyang. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions!"

Liu Hua was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Lu Su would tell his purpose so directly, but he burst out laughing.

Guo Jia on the side finished a sip of wine and said at the right time: "Lu Changshi has already said it. You and I are all anti-Qin coalition forces. Why are we right and not right? Come and invite Lu Changshi to have a drink." !”

"Drink!" Lu Su was not too polite and picked up the wine glass and drank heavily.

Liu Hua tried his best to entertain Lu Su, but said nothing about Xiang Jian's assistance in attacking Xianyang.

Although it was not stated explicitly, this in itself shows that Liu Hua does not want Xiang Jian to participate in the attack on Xianyang.

Lu Su was a smart man. After seeing Liu Hua's attitude, he came back to report to Xiang Jian.

"How is the King of Han?" Xiang Jian asked Lu Su with some urgency.

"The King of Han was neither strong nor soft. It is unimaginable that he achieved such great achievements and yet remained humble." Lu Su said.

"Then did he arrange for us to attack Xianyang!?" Xiang Jian continued.

"I have mentioned it before, but although the King of Han did not refuse directly, his attitude was that he hoped to take Xianyang alone!" Lu Su replied to Xiang Jian without hiding anything.

"What, what does this mean?" Xiang Jian couldn't help but stand up from his position, walked back and forth a few times, and said: "If he says he looks down on me, then he won't entertain you well, but if he says he looks down on me, he won't treat you well. If you think highly of me, why don’t you let me help you!?”

Fan Zeng said calmly on one side, "Why worry, since he asked me to wait and see his performance, then just watch his performance!"

Xiang Jian said helplessly: "The king of Han has achieved great power and cannot resist it!"

Xiang Ceyu looked at his father's disappointed look and said confusedly, "Why should uncle sigh? Liu Hua and we may not be enemies."

"伱...Hey!" Xiang Jian looked at Xiang Ceyu's indifferent expression and didn't know what he should say.

In fact, Xiang Jian was somewhat jealous of Liu Hua's attack on Xianyang alone, but he did not object to Liu Hua's decision and had no ability to object.

He does not have the strength to compete with the Han State now, and he also needs enough merit to wash away the shame of the defeat of Hulao Pass. Taking Xuanyuan Pass is more due to Xiang Ceyu. Of course, Xiang Ceyu is his son, and the world will Put Xiang Ceyu's credit on Xiang Jian's head.

Fan Zeng said, "This great battle has just begun. Liu Hua is astute and has excellent vision. He is indeed a hero in the world. But the king has a noble blood, generations of Chu generals, and a prominent reputation. How can he be limited by a temporary victory or defeat. However, Let Liu Hua take the first step, what a gain or loss. Not to mention that Liu Hua has not entered Xianyang yet, even if he does, isn't there anything we can do about it!"

"Please sir, teach me!" Xiang Jian calmed down and asked respectfully.

He is not like Xiang Ceyu. After all, he is over 40 years old. He survived the fall of the Chu Kingdom, but now he is just slightly suppressed by Liu Hua. It doesn't matter if he loses some face!
