After Xiang Liang left the hall, he went to Fan Zeng's residence and told Fan Zeng that the King of Chu had ordered him to hand over his military power.Fan Zeng twisted a few beards with his hands, and said with a wry smile: "General, in fact, I have known for a long time that the king will definitely take away your military power."

"Why is this?" Xiang Liang asked very strangely. Could it be that Fan Zeng has the ability to foretell?

"Because I have received a message a few days ago that General Xiang Yu has led the troops to occupy Donghai County. How can this not make the king doubt you?"

Xiang Liang's face changed suddenly: "You mean Yu'er, he actually went to attack Donghai County at the critical moment of my Dachu? He is really ignorant, how can he be a member of my Dachu? Wouldn't it be a great help to the people of Qin? Why didn't you inform me sooner after you found out about this news?" Xiang Liang's words were partly blamed on Xiang Yu and partly complained against Fan Zeng.

"General, you should keep an eye on the movements of the Qin army outside the city. I don't want to disturb you and distract you, so I didn't tell you about the little general's behavior even though I knew about it." Fan Zeng sighed, "But I didn't expect the king's actions to be like this. So soon, before I could think of a way to deal with it, he ordered someone to change the position of general, hey!"

"Now the king ordered Liu Bang to be the commander of the 20 troops, and I'm going back to Kuaiji County. I don't know whether Liu Bang can withstand the enemy's attack. I'm really worried." Xiang Liang's face was full. worried.

Just when Xiang Liang was worried, several generals had already called, and one of them said: "General Xiang, I heard that the king is going to recall you to Kuaiji County, and the former General Liu Bang will be the commander-in-chief. Is it okay?" They were all people who had been greatly used by Xiang Liang in these few defensive battles, made a lot of military exploits, and at the same time were very convinced of Xiang Liang's command.

Xiang Liang nodded and said: "Your news is really fast. Yes, the king's decree has been issued. I will leave Surabaya for Kuaiji tomorrow. I hope you can fight the Qin army like these days. Don't lose I am a great Chu general." Xiang Liang patted the shoulders of several generals as he spoke.

All the generals suddenly fell to their knees and said: "General, you must not leave Sishui County. Although we have never fought with Liu Bang, we know that no matter how good he is at fighting, he will never be able to predict the enemy's opportunity like General Xiang. The defense of Sishui County is as strong as gold, and the general is the No. 1 general of my Great Chu. If you leave us, this Sishui County will really be unable to defend it."

Xiang Liang also knew that what they said was reasonable. He really didn't know how powerful Liu Bang was on the battlefield. He only knew that when he attacked Sishui County occupied by Liu Bang that day, he found that the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was not strong. If it is because of Liu Bang's personal reasons that the soldiers he leads are generally not strong, then once I leave Surabaya, I am afraid that the 20 people will be ruined by Liu Bang, and Chu State will be in danger.Thinking of this, Xiang Liang really didn't dare to leave Sishui County easily. He looked at several generals and said, "I know that Liu Bang may not be able to defend Sishui County, but I dare not disobey the king's decree."

Fan Zeng suddenly laughed and said, "Then in the decree, does it mention when the general should leave Surabaya and go to Kuaiji?"

"That's not true. I just said that I will return to Kuaiji to report on my duties after handing over the military power." Xiang Liang laughed as soon as he said this, "Mr. Yifan means that I can delay it for a few more days?"

"That's right, anyway, the decree only said that you should hand over your military power. Now the general has handed over all the sword talismans, and he didn't disobey the will, but the general can stay here for a few more days. This is not Liu Bang and Qu Dou. That can be decided."

"Okay, I will follow Mr.'s advice and stay in Surabaya City to see the situation." Xiang Liang made up his mind immediately.Now that he had made up his mind, Xiang Liang no longer planned to go back to Kuaiji, but went to the lobby instead.

In the lobby, Liu Bang and Qu Dou had just let go of the big stone in their hearts, and they were talking about how to completely control the army in their own hands. When they suddenly saw Xiang Liang go and come back, both of them were a little surprised, and Qu Dou asked: " General, is there anything else?"

Xiang Liangdao: "I still decided not to rush back to Kuaiji immediately. This Sishui County is now our door to Dachu, and it must not be lost. Therefore, I decided to assist General Liu to fight against the Qin army here. I don't know what General Liu wants. how?"

Although Xiang Liang was talking to Liu Bang in a deliberative tone, in fact, Liu Bang and Liu Bang felt that he had made up his mind, so after they glanced at each other, Liu Bang said: "Since General Xiang is thinking about me, Da Chu , then the general is not easy to resign, but as the saying goes, there must be a commander-in-chief in the army, I wonder if you will stay as the commander-in-chief or something else?" Liu Bang looked closely at Xiang Liang as he spoke, for fear that he would tell him Also be the head coach.

Xiang Liang said with a smile: "Since I handed over all the sword talismans, the army is naturally dominated by General Liu, and I'm just helping out with ideas."

As soon as Liu Bang heard that Xiang Liang was willing to do this, of course he no longer objected, saying: "Then I would like to thank General Xiang for his great help."

Qu Dou also said at the side: "In this case, then Ben Yin will go back to Kuaiji first. Originally, my task was to read the decree and accompany the general back to Kuaiji, but the military is urgent, and I think the king will not mind too much."

Seeing that these two people were so easy to talk to, Xiang Liang thought that the two of them also put the overall situation first and would no longer confront him because of political disputes. His heart was moved, and he left the hall with his hands raised.

After Xiang Liang left, Liu Bang looked at Qu Dou and said, "Why did your lord wink at me just now and let me agree to Xiang Liang's stay? Isn't our purpose to transfer him back to Kuaiji?"

"Now I've changed my mind. The matter of borrowing Xiang Yu this time can only weaken his military power at most, and cannot completely bring down Xiang Liang. After returning to Kuaiji, the king will still reuse him. But he stayed here, Liu General, you can think of a way to deal with him, and he also said just now that he will obey your orders and will always give you a chance." Although Qu Dou didn't fully clarify what he said, Liu Bang already knew what he wanted to do. Let yourself use the hands of the Qin people to get rid of Xiang Liang.Liu Bang remembered that his brother Fan Kui was killed because of Xiang Liang's attack, so he nodded.While Xiang Liang was still thinking about how to deal with the Qin army's invasion, there were already two pairs of murderous eyes staring at him behind him.

In Donghai County, Xiang Yu has completely subdued everyone, especially Long Qi. After seeing Xiang Yu's ability, he respects him very much. In this way, Xiang Yu got a brave, resourceful and loyal subordinate.Seeing that Donghai County was completely controlled by him, Xiang Yu decided to take his troops back to Jiujiang County. After all, in his eyes, Donghai County was too remote and not a place for him to show his skills. Besides, he still wanted to master Chu State one day power.

On this day, Xiang Yu had already assembled all the men and horses, so he entrusted Donghai County to Long Qie, and he took the 2 people to Jiujiang County.The marching speed along the way was not slow, and he returned to Jiujiang County not long after. As soon as he entered the city, he saw Xiang He waiting for him in the city. He felt a little strange, so he stepped forward and asked: "Why, what happened in the city?" Have you arranged everything? How can you wait for me here?"

Xiang He said with a serious face: "General, just three days after you took your troops to the East China Sea, we received a message that the king of Chu changed his generals, and General Xiang Liang led troops to fight against Qin. Now you have captured Donghai County, I'm afraid it will be bad for him."

"What? Why didn't you send someone to tell me? What should I do? Although the King of Chu is not a foolish king, but with Qu Dou fanning the flames, uncle's situation is not good." Although Xiang Yu said well when he left that day He was categorical and no longer had any relationship with Xiang Liang, but after these few days, Xiang Yu's anger had also dissipated, and he was still quite concerned about Xiang Liang, the uncle who had single-handedly trained him.So only when he knew that it was not Xiang Liang who led the army, he took the troops to attack the East China Sea.

"Now that Donghai County is in our hands, what should have happened has already happened. I can only hope that General Xiang can turn the danger into good luck. And with the prestige of the general in the army, I don't think the king will treat him How about it, after all, without our Xiang family, Chu's army would be greatly weakened." Xiang he comforted.

"By the way, what's the situation in Sishui now? The Qin army defeated our three counties at the beginning, and its momentum was like a rainbow. This Sishui county is not a difficult and dangerous place to attack. How about the casualties of our Chu army?" Xiang Yu suddenly changed the subject.He knew that it would be useless to bring up Xiang Liang's matter now, so he simply didn't mention it anymore, but he had made up his mind that if the King of Chu really dared to harm Xiang Liang, he would send his army to kill King Chu and Qu Dou. When all the people are killed, he will be the master of Chu.

"The Qin army attacked Surabaya several times, but they were all repulsed by the general. The general wanted to drag the Qin army outside the city of Surabaya until they had enough food and supplies. The Qin people had no choice but to work hard. And retired." Xiang Ta had already learned about the situation there from the spies in Sishui County.

Xiang Yu said: "Then let's wait here, maybe we don't need to evacuate our troops to Donghai County at all, and the Qin people will be defeated by my uncle."

Xiang He smiled wryly and said, "But I just received the news that the King of Chu has sent Liu Bang to Surabaya to replace the General, and the General will return to Kuaiji County soon."

"Liu Bang? How can a defeated general lead our Chu army? Besides, although he is from Chu, he surrendered after being defeated by us that day. It is unbelievable. It is unexpected that the king of Chu is so ignorant. It seems that Uncle's hard work will be in vain." Xiang Yu spoke contemptuously, but also regretfully.But if he knew that Liu Bang was about to attack Xiang Liang, how would he react?
