Chapter 360 Xun Xi’s Judgment
  Similarly, when Xu Yourong and others were discussing how to deal with this decision, Xun Xi in Julu also received a letter from Liu Hua.

Of course, what is different from others is that this letter also contains Liu Hua's plan to occupy Guanzhong.

Xun Xi immediately contacted Zhang Ning, Lu Zhi, Sang Hongyang, Xie An, Gongsun Zan, Cao Ren, Zhang He and others, as well as Zhang Han and others who had returned from Mengjin and needed to recuperate Zhuge Liang and return prisoners.

Then Xun Xi circulated the letters one by one, and Xun Xi said, "This is a letter from the king. He asked us to take the prisoners of the Qin army who have completed their sentences and march westward to Guanzhong. I thought about it again and again, but decided to give up!"

"What?!" When Zhang Han heard this, he stood up with a bit of anger and said, "Why give up!"

For Zhang Han, all he could think about was returning to Guanzhong.

I have been fighting outside Guanzhong for a year and a half, thinking that I would probably die on the battlefield in the future and have no chance to return to Guanzhong. I originally thought that I would never go back, so let it go.

But now that he had the chance to go back, Xun Xi stopped him. How could Zhang Han endure it?
  "The Yellow River is frozen!" Xun Xi said, "If the Yellow River has never frozen, even if we go upstream, it may not take a week to reach Luoyang. But if the Yellow River freezes, we can only go overland if we want to go to Guanzhong, which will take at least a month. Time. Plus the materials we need to transport, it will take even more time!"

Zhang Han's expression changed and he said, "You're afraid you'll be attacked halfway through!"

Xun Xi said: "It's okay if you enter Qin lightly, but if you transport supplies back, things will happen on the way. In the final analysis, Xiang Jian is only the leader of the coalition of princes and has no direct jurisdiction over the armies of other countries.

At that time, if the military of some countries is jealous of our supplies, they will conflict with us. Do you think Xiang Jian chose to uphold justice or secretly support it? "

Hearing this, Zhang Han's face became solemn.

Although he has hundreds of thousands of reserves and prisoner camps under his command, it is still somewhat difficult to escort supplies and food to Hangu Pass along the way.

"Then I won't be able to return to Guanzhong!" Zhang Han said with a bit of reluctance.

"Don't worry, I'll just wait for work!" Xun Xi shook his head and pointed at the invitation channel, "If the king can reach an agreement with Xiang Jian, then you guys can enter Qin smoothly.

If we can't reach an agreement, we have troops who have experienced defensive battles. We will not be able to attack, but we will be able to defend within a year or two. I believe that we can become enemies with the king, so Xiang Jian must be careful. If a fight breaks out, he and the king will attack from both sides and defeat Xiang Jian. "

"What about the king's order?" Zhang Han said slightly worriedly after hearing Xun Xi's words.

"Let me tell the king my thoughts!" Xun Xi said, "I'm afraid I need to hurry up on the way back, otherwise it will be bad if I am intercepted by Xiang Jian's troops."

"Furthermore, Tian Zhan, Wei Jiu, and Zhu Hai have joined forces with Xiang Jian again. Even Zhao Wang Yuan Shao seems to have sent his generals to assist this time. This time it is really a multi-national alliance!" Xun Xi's face was solemn.

"Why don't you let me go!" Gongsun Zan stood up and said to Xun Xi, "Let me go and deliver this letter!"

"This..." Xun Xi's face changed when he heard this and said, "General He Lao will go there personally."

"Only if you have a white horse to deliver this letter, it will be foolproof." Gongsun Zan said solemnly, "With the speed of the white horse, even if someone wants to intercept it, it is impossible."

"Okay!" Xun Xi said, "Then I'll bother you, Gongsun Zan!"

"No!" Gongsun Zan clasped his hands and agreed to this task. Not long after, Xiang Jian came to Daliang and called on the princes to form an alliance. The armies of the old nobles of the six countries gathered in Daliang again, and the number of troops under Xiang Jian, the alliance leader, returned to [-].

Among them, there were only [-] belonging to the Chu State. There were originally [-], and the remaining [-] belonged to Xiang Ceyu's troops stationed at Wuguan.

As for the others, they were composed of princes such as Yuan Shao, Zhu Hai, Wei Jiu, Tian Zhan, and Li Mi with their own legions.

Among them, the only ones who can be called elite are Zhu Hai's Chang Yuchun personal guards, Hushi soldiers under the carriage, Tianxiong army, and Yuan Shao's Baijie soldiers, Zhao Bianqi, and brake crossbowmen.

Zhu Hai was extremely helpless. He felt that he was out of tune with the scumbags, but this was the general trend of the world. He was either in Han or Chu. He had chosen to start his own business in Jiangdong just to compete for Chu's destiny.

So no matter what, I still stay here and talk about it now. After all, the Qin State has become a scumbag, and the destiny has already been assigned.

It depends on what Liu Hua will do next. If the world is divided into enfeoffments and unanimously open to the outside world, then it is easy to say that Liu Hua will take his place and offer the heads of these princes to prepare for the future enfeoffment abroad.

If not, there is nothing he can do. Zhu Hai sees clearly that the general trend of the world has nothing to do with it.

To be honest, this [-]-strong army sounds very powerful, but in fact, even Xiang Jian understands that this so-called [-]-strong army may not be stronger than the [-]-strong army he organized last time, and may even be a bit weaker. .

No matter how you say it, with these [-] troops at the base, it can at least give the elite troops of Xiang Ceyu, Zhu Hai, and Yuan Shao a shout of encouragement.

After Xiang Jian saw Xiang Ceyu's ability to conquer cities and charge into battle, Xiang Jian felt that his son was a bit too fierce. At least the remnants of the Qin army could hardly withstand Xiang Ceyu's charge.

Although Xiang Ceyu still respected Xiang Jian, he did not give them a good look towards the so-called [-] coalition troops.

At least in Xiang Ceyu's view, whether it was the [-] direct legions under his command or Liu Hua's Han army, it was only a matter of a few charges to defeat the [-] coalition troops in front of them.

After all, these so-called coalition soldiers are clearly farmers brought here.

To be honest, Xiang Ceyu really felt that staying with such a crumb-like army was far less comfortable than being alone.

Anyway, Xiang Ceyu felt that if he stayed with them for too long, he didn't know if his strength and level would stagnate, or even drop.

At this moment, Liu Hua's invitation letter arrived.

"Uncle, Liu Hua sent an invitation letter, inviting us to go to Hongmen in Guan Nei to discuss world affairs together." Xiang Ceyu had a good impression of Liu Hua and immediately handed the invitation letter to Xiang Jian.

After Xiang Jian took it, he was slightly moved when he saw the invitation content above, and then handed the invitation letter to Fan Zeng.

After Fan Zeng read it, he handed the invitation letter to Zhou Yuji, but Fan Zeng said: "It's time for your Majesty to set off! Liu Hua has issued a challenge to us. If we don't respond, I'm afraid the world will belong to Liu Hua." !”

Xiang Jian nodded and said to Fan Zeng at this time: "We will lead an army of [-], gather all the princes from the world, and go to Hangu Pass to visit Liu Hua!"
