After hearing Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai smiled and said, "Zhao Qing, don't worry too much, I will give you a fair judgment. Baiban, you said that the main reason for this defeat was Zhao Changke's command error. Can someone testify?"

Bai Ban hurriedly said: "The soldiers who came back with me this time can testify that everything is indeed the cause of Zhao Changke."

"Of course these soldiers are dominated by you, how can this be proved?" Zhao Gao said coldly.

"Then how do you judge, Mr. Zhao?" Hu Hai suddenly asked, "You don't believe what General Bai said, and you don't believe what the soldiers say. Don't you believe it after saving Zhao Changke?"

"This..." Zhao Gao was at a loss for countermeasures for a while, and felt great hatred in his heart, but he couldn't refute Hu Hai's words, but he still said: "Even if Zhao Changke is at fault, you can't get rid of the Bai Squad who is also the commander of the army. related."

"The general knows that he is guilty, but the mistakes made by others cannot be imposed on the general." Bai Ban replied loudly.He knew that he had completely turned against Zhao Gao this time, so he didn't hesitate any more, and continued, "Moreover, the last general also helped General Wang Li, who defended the Shangdang, defeat Meng Tian. The emperor's mistake is enough to offset the last general's mistake." Alright."

Seeing that Bai Ban dared to contradict Zhao Gao like this, Hu Hai was overjoyed. At this time, he already wanted to draw Bai Ban to his side to fight against Zhao Gao, so he said conveniently: "So you made this decision on the way back to Xianyang?" Gong, good, I will spare you the guilt of defeat, you go down and rest."

"Emperor, this..." Zhao Gao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Hu Hai.

Hu Hai stood up and said, "I'm tired too, you two should go out of the palace." Then he left Zhao Gao there and left.

Seeing that the emperor was gone, Bai Ban also stood up, bowed his hands to Zhao Gaowei and left, so angry that Zhao Gao wanted to kill him. "Just be proud of yourself, I will make you all die in my hands in a few days." Zhao Gao watched Bai Ban leave with fire in his eyes.

After Hu Hai left the main hall, he was very proud: "Unexpectedly, there will be unexpected gains in this crusade against Chu. This Bai Ban can be regarded as a general. Now I can win him over to deal with Zhao Gao. Now I have Bai Ban and Zhang Han. , More than half of the army in Xianyang City is in my hands, and it's time to deal with him."

After trying several times to attack, Meng Tian found that Shangdang was indeed difficult to capture, so he stopped attacking reluctantly, but still put on an attacking posture, but began to preserve his strength.However, there was no news from Xianyang, which made Meng Tian very uneasy. He didn't know where Fusu's cavalry had gone, and whether they had confronted Qin soldiers.

The days passed day by day like this, the autumn was coming to an end, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Just when Meng Tian couldn't hold on and wanted to retreat, Fusu's messenger arrived.Seeing Fusu's letter to him, telling him that he was hurt by encountering the Huns on the way to Xianyang, and finally retreated to Beidi County, Meng Tian was relieved.Meng Tian didn't care too much about Fusu not being able to defeat Xianyang. After all, this strategy itself was a risk. Now that he was able to safely return to Beidi County, Meng Tian was also very relieved.

Now that the main attackers have retreated, Meng Tian didn't want to waste time with Wang Li anymore, so he also returned to Taiyuan City with the army.Wang Li was afraid that he was cheating, so he could only watch Meng Tian retreat back to Taiyuan County without any action.A life-and-death decisive battle was temporarily stopped because of the retreat of the Baiban army and the appearance of the Huns.

The Central Plains area temporarily calmed down, but Chu State began to move around.After defeating Qin's 15 troops last time, the people of Chu have unprecedented confidence. They already believe that the day when Chu will unify the world is coming.Although many soldiers were killed in this battle with the Qin people, the number of Chu soldiers only increased, and now there are [-] horses.

Among so many Chu people, Xiang Yu is the most convinced that he will defeat the Qin people. These days, he has proposed no less than ten times to lead troops to attack other counties of the Qin people, but Xiang Liang stopped them all. , Today he once again proposed to attack Chen Jun.Seeing his nephew once again proposed to attack Chen Jun, Xiang Liang smiled and said, "Yu'er, why do you repeatedly lead troops to attack Qin's territory? Could it be that you are absolutely sure that you can take down Chen Jun?"

"Although I'm not completely sure. But I think now is a great opportunity for us Chu people to attack Qin land in a big way. Don't you want to watch the opportunity slip away?" Xiang Yu looked puzzled. Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang said: "Now is not the time for us Chu people to replace the Qin people. Not only are we inferior to the Qin people in terms of military strength, but we are not enough to fight the Qin people in terms of population, weapons, etc. If we rush If we go to war with the Qin people, our Chu people will suffer huge losses, and may even benefit others, so I want the Chu people to guard their counties and not take the initiative to fight the Qin people."

"What General Xiang said is too ambitious for the people of Qin, and destroys the prestige of our Chu people." Qu Dou, who hadn't had any disagreements with Xiang Liang these days, stood up and said, "Actually, what General Xiang said is very reasonable. Our state of Chu has a rare unity, and morale is even higher than ever. If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Qin people, they will send troops to attack us when they catch their breath. However, General Xiang is all focused on stability. It’s not a blessing for the people of Chu. So, my lord, I want to personally lead the troops to take Chen Jun down.”

Xiang Liang was shocked when he saw that Qu Dou followed his nephew's words and wanted to obtain the military power he never had.Now his prestige in Chu has greatly surpassed Qu Dou, even overwhelmed the king of Chu, and now the king of Chu must be dissatisfied with himself.And Qu Dou's current proposal is a coup to weaken his influence in the army. He hastily objected: "Don't send troops. Our Chu army is already exhausted from the battles of the past few days. In addition, it is almost winter. It is appropriate to send troops, so I think it is best to attack Chen Jun after the spring of the next year, and then Chen Zi will lead troops to take down Chen Jun."

Although the King of Chu was young, he already faintly felt Xiang Liang's threat to him, and he didn't want him to make military achievements again, so he looked at Qu Dou with eager eyes, hoping that he could refute Xiang Liang, so as to stop him prestige.

Qu Dou had no intention of rebutting at all, but when he suddenly saw King Chu's eyes, he continued with confidence, "It's fine if the general's words are placed in the Central Plains, but my country of Chu is in the south, and winter doesn't matter." It's not as cold as in the north. Sending troops now can just take down Chen County before the coldest weather arrives, while Qin's army can't send troops because of the cold weather. When the weather turns warmer next spring, we have completely controlled Chen County. The people of Qin can't do anything to us."

"What Qu Lingyin said is very true. The widow will give you the important task of taking down Chen Jun." The King of Chu issued the order without waiting for Xiang Liang's objection, and Xiang Liang's objection could only be swallowed back.So in the main hall, Qu Dou selected the generals to go to Chen County - with Qu Dou himself as the commander, Liu Bang and Song Yi as his deputy, together with Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others, they completely rejected Xiang Liang's side Lost.

After leaving the palace, Xiang Liang angrily said to Xiang Yu: "It's good now, you have been fighting for half a day, not only you can't lead the troops to go out, but you let Qu Dou and others take advantage of it."

"That's why you don't want me to lead the army, Uncle." Xiang Yu was no less angry than Xiang Liang at this time, "If you had agreed to me leading the army to attack Chen County, how could you be snatched away by Qu Dou? I want to make more military exploits so that my uncle can have a helper in the court, but you have repeatedly obstructed me. Are you afraid that I will steal your merits? So I always don’t let me have the opportunity to lead troops to show my skills. "These days, Xiang Yu has always been suppressed by Xiang Liang, preventing him from having a hearty fight. There was a fire in his heart, and today he finally let it out.

Xiang Liang looked at his nephew in disbelief. He didn't expect that he would think that he was such a person in his heart. What he wanted to say, but in the end he didn't say it. He sighed and said, "Since you see me that way , then I will not interfere in your affairs anymore." As he spoke, he urged the horse to dismount and moved forward.

Xiang Yu also regretted a little after saying what he kept in his heart, but his pride did not make him apologize to his uncle, and when he saw his uncle leave, he just sent him off with his eyes.

"General, the old general has been training you these days, you can't say that about him." Seeing that the two uncles and nephews had fallen out, Xiang Ta hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

But Xiang Yu is not a person who can accept criticism from others. He can restrain himself a little in front of his uncle, but he is not polite to his subordinates, not to mention that he is still angry now, so he snorted coldly: "Xiang Yu you What does this mean? Is it wrong for me to want to make contributions to the great Chu? And all the military achievements during this period of time were made by my uncle, and I only made some small contributions by following him. This is also true. If Uncle asked me to lead the army to fight, and I should be a general now. Have you forgotten the capture of Donghai County last time?"

Xiang he saw that Xiang Yu was really angry, and no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he would add fuel to the fire, so he shut his mouth wisely.

What Xiang Yu said to Xiang Ta just now strengthened his belief that he was not wrong. At the same time, he also believed that Xiang Liang suppressed him so that he could monopolize the power alone.So far, the contradiction between the two uncles and nephews has arisen.

Three days later, Qu Dou's army set off.This time he didn't dare to go too far, so he brought a full 6 horses, divided into front, middle and rear armies, and went to Chen County.The front army was led by Liu Bang, the middle army was led by him personally, and the rear army was led by Song Yi.But Xiang Liang did not come to see him off on the day the troops were dispatched. His excuse was that he was seriously ill.
