Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 205
"No." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said calmly, "Now is not the time."

Although Xiang Zhuang was also very worried about Gao Chu's safety, he didn't think it was a good idea to take a large army across the river now, and Bai Lixian was afraid that he would not approve of crossing the river in a big way at this time. Care about Gao Chu's identity, because Gao Chu is not only Xiang Zhuang's confidant and favorite general, but also the leading figure of the generals of the Chu family, his status is not trivial.

If Baili Xian persuaded Xiang Zhuang to keep calm and not to lead the army across the river at this time, once this word reaches Gao Chu's ears in the future, it is very likely to cause Gao Chu's misunderstanding, even if Gao Chu does not misunderstand Baili Xian, what about the generals under Gao Chu's command?If one is not careful, these words may cause conflicts between the Qin and Chu generals.

You need to know that in the last Jiuyuan competition, You Yuan stole the limelight from Gao Chu, which made the boss of the Chu family unhappy. Fortunately, You Yuan's ancestor, Yang Youji, was also from Chu. Otherwise, the generals of the Chu family would not know what would happen .

Bai Lixian is so smart, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Seeing that Xiang Zhuang didn't accept his opinion, Bai Lixian smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. Anyway, he had already expressed his attitude. As for whether Xiang Zhuang would accept it or not, it was not up to him, Bai Lixian That's right, Bai Lixian bowed his hands to Xiang Zhuang again, said goodbye and went back to his apartment to write the font comparison table.

Watching Bai Lixian's figure go away, Xiang Zhuang ordered Jin Xiang again: "Jin Xiang, immediately punish Fei Qi and tell Gao Chu that he must not act impulsively, and put the overall situation first!" After thinking for a while, Xiang Zhuang He deliberately added another sentence, "Tell him again, it's okay to suffer some grievances now, and just get it back ten times or a hundred times in the future."

For Gao Chu, Xiang Zhuang has placed high hopes, not only because Gao Chu is loyal to Xiang Zhuang, but also because Gao Chu himself is also a talented person, and Gao Chu has indeed lived up to Xiang Zhuang's expectations. In more than a year, he has grown from a small personal commander to a general who commands thousands of troops!

In terms of ability, although Gao Chu is not as strategic as Pang Yu, he is more aggressive than Pang Yu, and he is closer to Xiang Zhuang in terms of military style. This is also related to Gao Chu's longer time with Xiang Zhuang.

If there is any weakness in high school, it is the affair between children.

Especially Qin Yu, who is the lifeblood of Gao Chu. Once Qin Yu has something good or bad, it is entirely possible for Gao Chu to do anything under the rage, so Xiang Zhuang added a sentence specially: Now suffer some Wronged, it will not be too late to find it in the future, which means that the important thing is now, and as for personal revenge, it will not be too late to report it in the future.

"Here!" Jin Xiang gave a bow, and took the order to go.

Watching Jin Xiang's figure go away, Xiang Zhuang pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked subconsciously: "Military Master, who do you think will send this assassin named Tian Yan..." Halfway through the conversation, Xiang Zhuang suddenly thought of Wei Wei. Liao had already left, and now his expression darkened, and he sighed a little lonely. He was really not used to the old military master leaving.

Pengcheng, Huainan Palace.

Kuai Che stroked his willow beard, turned his back to Ying Bu and took a few steps, then shook his head again.

Ying Bu became a little impatient, and urged: "Oh, Prime Minister, tell me quickly, who is this assassin named Tian Yan?"

Kuai Che didn't answer, but said quietly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Tian Yan is quite famous in Wu and Yue?"

"That's right." Ying Bu nodded and said, "This Tian Yan is indeed a famous swordsman. When I raised troops in Fan County, I sent someone to invite him to join the gang, but this guy refused."

Kuai Che nodded, and said again: "So, this Tianyan should be a famous swordsman for a long time, and when the king sent someone to invite him to join the gang, he was sternly rejected by him, which shows that Tianyan is not a swordsman. A swordsman who can be bought off, so this assassination of Gao Chu is quite strange."

Yingbu was confused, and asked with a frown, "President Guo, who is this Tianyan?"

Kuai Che spread out his hands, and said with a wry smile: "If this Tianyan is really a master of the world and cannot be bought by money or goods, then he is not something that Xiang He, Xiang Tuo or Xiang Guan can command."

"The Prime Minister of the State said..." Yingbo said awe-inspiringly, "Is this matter instigated by old Liu Bang?"

Since the day when Xue County was captured, Yingbo has officially turned against Liu Bang. Although Liu Bang has not sent anyone to ask for the return of Xuejun, Donghai, and Surabaya, he has not even sent anyone to reprimand him, but Yingbo Knowing that the ally relationship between him and Liu Bang has already broken down, it will be a matter of time before the war starts.

"It won't be the King of Han either." Kuai Che shook his head and said, "If Tian Yan is really a member of the King of Han, then the target of his assassination will not be Xiang Zhuang's general Gao Chu, but Xiang Zhuang himself."

"That's right." Ying Bu nodded and said, "Then who is this Tian Yan?"

Kuai Che pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked Ying Bo: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the Great Qin Empire, which had been destroyed for many years, once had a very mysterious army. At that time, almost all Qin troops were still using bronze utensils. But this army has already used extremely sharp iron tools, this army is called Iron Sword Dead Warriors!"

"Iron Sword Soldier?!" Ying Bu gasped when he heard this.

As an anti-king at the end of the Qin Dynasty, how could Yingbu not know the iron sword warriors of the Great Qin Empire?In fact, Yingbu not only knew the existence of the iron sword dead men, but was assassinated by the iron sword dead men. These iron sword dead men not only had extremely high sword skills, but also regarded life and death as nothing. They were simply a group of bloodthirsty people. monster!

Kuai Che said again: "The base of this group of dead men with iron swords is on a peak called Hei Bingtai in Nanshan Mountain. Later, in order to keep secrets and play tricks, Hei Bing Tai became the official residence of these dead men with iron swords. title."

"Black Ice Terrace? Hasn't the Black Ice Terrace been breached by Xiang Yu long ago? Whether it's apprentices, swordsmanship instructors, or even the head teacher at that time, Xie Heihuo, the iron sword warriors stationed on it have all been shot to death by the Chu army... ..." At this point, Yingbo suddenly took a deep breath and said sternly, "The Prime Minister of the country said that Heihuo is not dead, and revenge came under the pseudonym Tianyan?"

"Revenge?" Kuai Che shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you underestimate this group of dead soldiers with iron swords. In their eyes, there is no personal enmity or even national enmity. They only see the orders of the Qin royal family. !"

"The royal family of Qin?" Ying Bo frowned. "The last bloodline of the royal family of Qin, Prince Qin, Prince Ying, has been slaughtered by Xiang Yu's family? Where is the royal family of Qin now?" He added, "Besides, the Great Qin Empire has been destroyed for so many years. Even if there were really iron sword dead soldiers who slipped through the net, I'm afraid they would have hidden their names and hidden themselves?"

Kuai Che said: "The so-called small hermit hides in the wild, and the big hermit lives in the city. Compared with avoiding living in the mountains, using an alias to become a famous swordsman in the world, isn't it better to protect yourself?" As far as I know, the blood of the royal family has not been cut off. When the Chu army broke through the Xianyang Palace, a Princess Shiman left."

Ying Bu said somewhat disapprovingly: "What can a little girl do? Even if she escaped by chance, she has either died in the wilderness or married a villager in the mountains. From then on, she is clothed and skirted, and has the rest of her life? How could it be possible to get in touch with the Iron Sword Slayer, let alone order the Iron Sword Soldier to assassinate Gao Chu."
Kuai Che did not refute Ying Bo, but just stroked his willow beard, and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, this Princess Shiman who slipped through the net did not die in the wilderness, nor did she marry a villager in the mountains. In fact, she She married Xiang Zhuang half a year ago! If there are no accidents, she will become Xiang Zhuang's official wife and the queen of Chu!"

"That's even more wrong." Ying Bo said, "If Princess Shiman is married to Xiang Zhuang, how can she instruct the iron sword warriors to assassinate Gao Chu? You need to know that Gao Chu is Xiang Zhuang's confidant and beloved general!"

Kuai Che shook his head and said calmly, "My lord, is that really the case?"

Yingbo frowned, then lowered his head and meditated. After a long while, he was startled and said sternly, "Minister Guo, do you mean that there are factional disputes under Xiang Zhuang's command?"

"Of course." Kuai Che said, "Xiang Zhuang's employment is completely different from Xiang Yu's. Xiang Yu only trusts Chu people, and even Xiang's clan, but Xiang Zhuang dares to use anyone. Now his men not only have There are Chu people, Wei people, Qi people, and even a large number of Qin people, so many people from different countries, it would be strange if there were no power and faction disputes."

Ying Bo stroked the curled beard at the corner of his lips, and said with a smile, "Let them fight, the more intense the better, the better Xiang Zhuang can start a full-scale war with Xiang Ta, Xiang Tuo, and Xiang Guan, and he will lose both." At that time, the widow will be able to carry the army across the river in person, and conquer the two counties in the east of the river without any effort, hahaha."

Kuai Che smiled lightly and said nothing more.

Since the day when Xiang Zhuang stationed troops in Liyang and did not cross the river hastily, Kuai Che already knew that Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Ta, Xiang Tuo, and Xiang Guan would probably not be able to fight each other. Zhuang will eventually stand out from all items to inherit the throne of Chu. Today's Xiangzhuang is also extremely mature politically.

However, Kuai Che didn't say what he thought in his heart, because he knew that Ying Bu absolutely didn't like to hear such disappointing words.

In the northern suburb of Wuzhong, Xiang Tuo camped.

Hundreds of scouts sent out to investigate Tianyan's whereabouts have returned to the camp, but they have not found Tianyan's whereabouts. Since the assassination missed a few days ago, this Tianyan has disappeared like air, but this is also As expected by Xiang Tuo, Tian Yan was originally a solitary ranger, and he has probably fled far away by now.

However, if Tianyan couldn't be found, it would be difficult for Gaochu and Xiangzhuang to explain.

After hesitating for a while, Xiang Tuo suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Come here, prepare a horse for this general!" Since Tian Yan couldn't be found, he had no choice but to cross the river himself and plead guilty to Xiang Zhuang.
