Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-07-16

All the people who came to Xiang Manor to attend the banquet today were prominent figures in the Chu Kingdom, of course Liu Bang, Song Yi and Qu Dou were missing from them, but even so, they were all together.Hearing that the Qin people led 10 horses to attack, everyone had different reactions.

Some of them turned out to be the old ministers when Chu was subjugated. Their faces were full of fear, because they had seen the fighting power and ferocity of Qin soldiers before. Of course, these people are a minority after all, and most of them are old now There is no power in the court, so they just showed fear and didn't say anything.

Most of them are worried. After all, they often hear how powerful the Qin people are, but they have never really seen the army of the Qin people when they destroyed the Six Kingdoms, so although they were worried, they did not lose their courage. I heard that the army of [-] came, and I was a little bit at a loss.So these people began to whisper to each other below, not knowing how to express their opinions.

However, Xiang Yu didn't pay attention to the attacking Qin people at all. Hearing this, he who had been sitting on his seat stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Good time, I just want to die in Qin Dynasty decades ago. The great Chu martyrs who were in the hands of the people are taking revenge, but unexpectedly they came to our door! Uncle, let's go to the palace immediately and let the king order me to lead the troops to fight the Qin people!" His eyes were full of longing as he spoke.

Fusu admired Xiang Yu for not being afraid of the Qin army, but he didn't think that the current state of Chu would be able to fight the current Qin army. The eunuch is in power, after all, he is not as weak as he was when he died.So he looked at Xiang Liang, who was sitting in the main seat, to see how he behaved.

When Xiang Liang heard the news, he was neither frightened like some people nor excited for no reason like Xiang Yu. Instead, he calmly moved the wine glass to his lips and drank it slowly. , and then looked at the expressions of the crowd and said to Xiang Yu: "In front of so many ministers of the Manchu court, how can you speak, sit down!" The words were full of majesty, and immediately suppressed the very noisy scene go down.

Xiang Yu was filled with resentment when he saw his uncle talking about him like that, but after all, his uncle is the general of Chu now, so he couldn't say much, so he had to sit back at the table, angrily picked up the jug and poured the wine directly. poured into his own mouth.

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, Xiang Liang looked around and said, "This is a critical moment for my great Chu, I hope everyone can unite as one and do what they should do well. Only in this way can the future The Qin people who committed the crime will be repelled." He paused and continued, "Since there is an enemy coming today, this banquet will end here. I hope you will work together to fight against the powerful enemy." After finishing speaking, he stood up and greeted everyone A cup of hands, be regarded as thank you.

All the guests knew that it was time for them to go back, so they left one after another, and there were not many people left in the lobby.Fusu didn't leave with all the guests, because he still wanted to ask Xiang Liang if he had a way to defeat the enemy.After hearing that the Qin people attacked Chu, he felt that this was an opportunity to attack Hu Hai's Qin army. It was in his best interest to be able to attack the enemy without depleting his troops in Shangjun. Good news for yourself too.While he was still thinking about this, Xiang Liang had already arrived in front of him: "Young Master Zhou, it seems that you have to rush back to Jiujiang County immediately this time, and this general will not let you go."

Fusu knew that because the current strength of the Chu people was limited, Liu Bang's subordinates were still guarding Liu Bang's original territory, such as Dang County, and their loyalty was not enough, so now Jiujiang County has become the barrier of Kuaiji. And Xiang Liang obviously looked down on him, so he nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, general, I will help Taishou Yu to defend Jiujiang County until General Xiang brings the soldiers." After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands and left up.

It wasn't until Xiang Yu's two uncles and nephews were left in the lobby that Xiang Yu said with an unhappy face: "Uncle, you are too disrespectful to Yu'er. Anyway, I am also a former general now, why can't I say anything?"

Xiang Liang patted Xiang Yu's shoulder with his hand and said: "It's not that I don't give you face, uncle, but you didn't realize that everyone present is afraid of the people of Qin. How can you use your blood for a while?" How about convincing them? Moreover, this time the army of 6 people from Qin came to work [-]. I, Da Chu, will fight a protracted war. At the meeting, the king asked you to lead the army to fight against the Qin people alone. If you can't win at that time, I'm afraid the reputation you just gained will be in vain. So I have to stop you first, and then I can make a long-term plan to see if there is any way to deal with it Qin Jun, do you understand now?"

"But how can uncle be sure that my Chu army must not be the opponent of Qin army? My nephew still can't figure it out." Xiang Yu still refused to agree with Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang smiled and said: "When the battle starts, you will know where the gap between my Chu army and Qin army is. Now we can only defend the city, and it is not the time to fight the Qin army. You haven't seen Zhao Ren How did Zhang Chu, who was with Chen Sheng, be defeated again and again by the Qin people? There are lessons to be learned from the past."

While the two uncles and nephews were still discussing the strength of the Qin and Chu armies, Fusu had rushed back to the posthouse, and immediately ordered the soldiers to get ready and return to Jiujiang.

"Young Master Zhou, didn't you say you would stay here for a while, why are you so anxious to leave now?" Yu Ziyan's master and servant obviously hadn't enjoyed themselves enough, and were very puzzled by Fusu's behavior.

"The people of Qin have already led a large army to attack the land of Chu. We must go back quickly so that we can help the prefect prepare." Fusu dropped these words and went to urge the soldiers again.

The two girls became anxious when they heard this, and Yu Ziyan hurriedly urged Qing Ming to get all her belongings ready so that she could rush back to Jiujiang as soon as possible.

People in the entire Kuaiji County began to get busy. People from several other counties were busy going back to make preparations. The officials in Kuaiji were busy preparing food and supplies, and the generals were busy gathering soldiers and preparing to rush to the front line at any time. .The common people were busy thinking about what they should do if the Qin people came, whether to stay here or flee to a farther place.For a while, people in Kuaiji were panicked, and a tense atmosphere permeated the court and the people.

Fusu's speed is still very fast. After two hours, he led hundreds of people to leave Kuaiji and rush to Jiujiang. This time, the speed was faster than when he came. unbearable.

The advance of the Qin people was exactly as Xiang Liang said.A few days ago, Zhang Han and Bai Ban led the army to win consecutive battles, so now the territory originally belonged to Zhang Chu and Zhao people has become the territory of Qin State, which made their march much faster, and soon came to Hanoi County.After all, Bai Ban was also a general who had been at war for a long time, so his deployment was very accurate. After arriving in Hanoi County, he was not in a hurry to attack Dang County. Attacked Dangjun with his troops in Hanoi at the same time.This three-sided siege, in just three days, Dang County changed hands and became the territory of Qin State again.

Then he ordered Zhao Changke to lead 5 troops to attack Jiujiang County through Chen County, while he led other troops from Dang County to Sishui County, so that the two counties could not support each other.

Sishui County was still guarded by Liu Bang's generals after Liu Bang surrendered to Chu, but they were still worried about Xiang Liang's killing of his brother Fan Kuai, but they did not dare to open the city and surrender to the Qin army. One is that the Qin people are the biggest enemies of these insurgents after all. Everyone knows that if they surrender, they will end up dead like Chen Sheng; the two their lord Liu Bang is still by Xiang Liang's side after all. It would not be good if Liu Bang was angered and killed, so they decided to resist for a while and then abandon the city to preserve their strength.

Of course, Bai Ban didn't know what these people were thinking, so he launched a fierce attack on Sishui County with 5 troops. crossbow.After persisting for five days, the defender of Surabaya suddenly led his troops to break through the city. This was beyond Bai Ban's expectation. The Qin army did not put on a defensive posture at all, and finally could only look at the sergeant guarding the city They went to Donghai County, and they occupied Sishui County.

After entering the city, there were two voices in the Bai Squad Army. One was to continue to the northeast, and take advantage of the defeated army's foothold before uniting with the defenders of Donghai County to attack Donghai County. The other plan was to Support Zhao Changke's department that is attacking Jiujiang County.Just when Bai Ban was a little hesitant, Zhao Changke sent someone to send a letter asking for help. He was about to be counterattacked after being unable to attack Jiujiang City for a long time.After weighing again and again, Bai Ban decided to support Zhao Changke, leaving only 5000 troops to guard Surabaya.

When Bai Ban went east to win consecutive victories, Fusu had already returned to Jiujiang City, and Yu Fulong had already heard the news that the Qin people were coming to attack, and he didn't have time to mention the departure of his niece, and discussed with Fusu after he came back. How to defend Jiujiang City.

Naturally, Fusu would not use the method used to defend Shangjun to defend Jiujiang, but after all, he has thousands of years more knowledge than these ancients, and he has some understanding of some famous battle methods in history, so relying on With these in mind, he helped Jiujiang City block the Qin people's attacks several times, which made Zhao Changke unable to attack repeatedly, and finally the morale of the army was very low. Call for help during the day shift.

At this time, the Chu army had also left Kuaiji for Jiujiang under the leadership of Xiang Liang, and the war was about to break out.
