Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 526 Migration
After discussing the matter of dispatching troops, Bi Shu and Bai Lixian left Luoyang, but Pang Yu stayed because Tian Heng would enter the palace to bid farewell to Xiang Zhuang later, and Pang Yu would leave Luoyang with Tian Heng .

Tian Heng was still in a hurry when he entered the palace, but when he saw Pang Yu, he couldn't help but pause in his heart, wondering if Pang Yu was guarding Bashu, why did he go back to Luoyang?Moreover, the king summoned him and Pang Yu at the same time, and his intention was self-evident. If nothing unexpected happened, Pang Yu would definitely become the top general of Qi.

Sure enough, Xiang Zhuang made it clear after the ceremony between the monarch and his ministers.

"General Pang, Qi State will rely on you a lot in the future." Tian Heng smiled and bowed to Pang Yu, but he was smiling wryly in his heart. The two most trusted generals under King Xiangzhuang of Chu, Gao Chu was the first, and Pang Yu was the second. Yu, if you want to lead the three armies and charge into battle, Pang Yu may be slightly inferior to Gao Chu, but if you want to say calm and meticulous, Gao Chu is not as good as Pang Yu.

Tian Heng could foresee that after Pang Yu became the great general of the Qi State, he would have nothing to do with military power.

Xiang Zhuang saw Tian Heng's subtle expression in his eyes, but on the surface he still said grandly: "King Qi, I have no other intention to ask Zi Ang to go to Qi State to help you, but I hope you can quickly return to Qi State. Stand firm, when you stand firm in Qidi, Ziang should come back."

After a pause, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Zi'ang is the right arm of the widow, so I can only lend it to you temporarily."

"Thank you, my lord." Tian Heng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pinch his nose to thank him, "General Pang Yu is a general who is generous with words and martial arts. With his help, Xiao Wang will definitely be able to quickly control Qi." After saying this, Tian Heng naturally had to show his loyalty, and then said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, after Xiao Wang takes over the country, everything will be guided by your Majesty's will."

Xiang Zhuang nodded noncommittally, and said: "In addition, Wu She will also serve as the Prime Minister of Qi."

There was a flash of anger in Tian Heng's eyes, and he thought to himself that Xiang Zhuang really regarded him as the same as Wei Cuo?Let Pang Yu be the General of the Qi State, and Wu She be the Prime Minister of the Qi State, wouldn't he, the King of Qi, be a complete display?Instead of this, why not stay in Luoyang and be a Taiping Marquis, why go to Qi to suffer?

"What?" Xiang Zhuang said indifferently, "Does King Qi have a better candidate?"

"Uh, no." Tian Heng woke up like a dream, quickly lowered his head and respectfully said, "Little Wang listens to the King."

"Well, that's Wu She." Xiang Zhuang didn't hide his obscenity at all. He had to let Tian Heng understand that since he could put him on the throne, he would naturally have the ability to kick him off the throne, and said immediately, "In addition There is one more thing, but it is not a good thing, your feudal country may only have one county Xue."

"Uh..." Tian Heng was stunned when he heard the words, but this was far beyond his expectation.

Xiang Zhuang sighed, and told Tian Heng the whole story of the battle in Qidi, and said: "Gao Lang's army was blocked by Shentujia's descending army, and the Yan army and Bei Diao army were attacked in Weishui. The allied forces have already retreated from Langye, and with the Prince's [-] solitary troops and tens of thousands of Qi troops, it is really impossible to defend Linzi."

What else could Tian Heng say, he could only cup his hands and say: "Everything is decided by the king."

Xiang Zhuang comforted Tian Heng and said, "But you don't have to be too discouraged. This situation is only temporary. We just waited for the most difficult few years. When Weidi develops and the treasury has enough money and food, I will definitely send troops to help you recover. The five prefectures of Qi will make you a true King of Qi."

"Xiao Wang thanked the king." Tian Heng bowed to the ground.

After leaving the palace, Tian Heng came straight to his mansion.

In the open space outside the mansion, more than ten carriages were ready to go. Beside the carriages were two teams of Chujia, which were sent by Pang Yu to protect Tian Heng, the King of Qi. Besides, there were only a dozen or so retainers and maids and servants. , Tian Ruibai and Zidu were also there, and when they saw Tian Heng coming back, they greeted him with gloomy faces.

Tian Libai snarled at the two teams of more than a hundred Chujia members standing on both sides, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what's going on?"

Tian Heng sighed, and said in a low voice: "These are sent by the general to protect the widow, don't be rude to them."

"General?" Tian Libai was stunned upon hearing the words, and asked in puzzlement, "Which general? It seems that there are only generals in the Chu Kingdom. I haven't heard of any generals?"

"It's the great general of our country of Qi." Tian Heng said in a dull voice, "It's Pang Yu."

"Pang Yu?!" Tian Libai yelled instinctively, and the hundreds of Chujia standing on both sides turned their heads in unison.

Tian Heng's heart trembled, and he quickly gave Tian Libai a wink, Tian Libai lowered his voice again, and said, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Tian Heng sighed, and said: "In addition to Pang Yu, there are three thousand Chu Jia who will accompany us to Qi State. In addition, the king has also appointed Qi State Minister, and he is Wu She."

"Ah?!" Tian Libai let out a low cry again, dumbfounded.

At this time, Tian Libai could know the King of Chu's thoughts no matter how heartless he was. He was obviously worried about Tian Heng, and Tian Heng, the King of Qi, was probably only the King of Qi in name. The real power will definitely be in the hands of the great general Pang Yu and the prime minister Wu She.

"Okay, you don't need to think so much, Run Pei, Zidu." Tian Heng patted Tian Run Pei's shoulder, and said, "The general is already waiting outside the east gate, let's hurry up and meet him."

The next day, Wumuya's letter from Feige reached Linzi.

Xiang Zheng immediately sent someone to find Zhao Xi and Lou Jing, and after they circulated the secret letters one after another, Xiang Zheng asked: "General, Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"

Lou Jing remained silent, he had no opinion on the migration.

Lou Jing was originally not a native of Linzi, but a native of Lu County, Jibei County. The Lou family is not a famous family in the local area. After joining the Qi army, he did not wantonly buy land in Lu County or Linzi, so he could move away with his bags.

"Prince, do you have to move to Xue County?" Zhao Xi's face was full of bitterness.

Zhao Xi is a native of Linzi, not only has a large number of shops and warehouses in Linzi city, but also hundreds of hectares of fertile land outside the city, so he is not happy about the relocation, because people can leave, but the shops and warehouses in Linzi city As well as the hundreds of hectares of fertile land outside the city, it is absolutely impossible to take it away, and this loss is too great.

Xiang Zheng spread his hands and said: "The general has also seen the current situation. Linzi has no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. How can it last for so long? If we don't withdraw as soon as possible now, and then withdraw when the food and fodder are exhausted, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Zhao Xi cried bitterly: "Prince, it's okay for ordinary people to say that it's not easy for them to live without land and land. As long as they have food and shelter there, they will definitely be willing. Households are willing to leave, and the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army may not be willing to leave their homeland."

Xiang Zhuang said calmly: "If you really don't want to move out, I won't force you."

Zhao Xi's heart trembled when he heard the words. Although Xiang Zheng's tone was still calm, the implication was already obvious. If they didn't move away, they would definitely be annexed by Han, South Korea or Zhao. In this way, They belong to two different camps with Chu State, and it is inevitable to fight each other.

In all honesty, Zhao Xi really didn't want to be an enemy of Chu State.

Lou Jing also persuaded: "General, if you decide to break it, you will break it. Linzi is no longer in a position to defend. Even if you guard the shops and warehouses in the city and the fields outside the city, you will not have much profit. If you can move to Xuejun Although it was difficult at the beginning, but relying on the prosperous industry and commerce of Great Chu, Qi will also be prosperous in a few years."

"What Prime Minister said is true." Zhao Xi nodded, and said again, "Prime Minister, I will gather all the aristocratic families in Linzi City, and I will trouble you to talk to them."

Outside the city of Linzi, the camp of the coalition forces.

In the past few days, Zhou Yafu has also been under great pressure. After the news that Linzi was first captured by the Chu army was sent back to Xianyang, the prime minister did not blame him, and even sent him a letter to encourage him, but Zhou Guanfu also came. He reprimanded him severely, saying that he only got a small victory and then got carried away, so that he underestimated the enemy and let the Chu army take advantage of the loopholes.

Zhou Yafu was in a state of suffering, but who would have thought that Xiang Zheng would have the same virtue as his father, who likes to seek victory in danger. What is bitter is that Linzi, where Zhao Xi's tens of thousands of troops were stationed, was really taken down by Xiang Zheng. How can you make sense of this matter?

However, what upset Zhou Yafu the most was not Zhou Guanfu's reprimand, but the letters from King Han and King Zhao.

The capture of Han Ju and Bai Yan was all brought about by Zhou Yafu. Although Zhou Guanfu scolded Zhou Yafu in his letter, it was a deep love and a serious responsibility. Although the letters from Han Wang Han Xin and Zhao Wang Zhang Ao were euphemistic, they could read between the lines. The meaning of the accusation is obvious, all in all, if Han Ju and Bai Yan cannot be rescued, it may be difficult to explain this matter.

What's more worrying is that if King Zhao is annoyed, he will withdraw to Zhao Junxiao and cut off the supply of food and grass, which will be a big trouble.

But it's not easy to save Han Ju and Bai Yan, attack?The odds of winning are really slim, exchange?Zhou Yafu really didn't have enough bargaining chips, unless Prince Chu Xiangzheng could also be captured.

When Zhou Yafu was upset, a soldier came into the account and reported: "General, General Han and General Bai are asking to see you."

"General Han, General Bai?" Zhou Yafu didn't react immediately, and said angrily, "Which General Han, and which General Bai?"

The soldiers said, "It's General Han Ju and General Bai Yan."

"Hmm, Han Ju, Bai Yan?!" Zhou Yafu was stunned, and gasped, "They're back?!"

"Why, General Yafu doesn't want me to wait to come back?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from outside the tent, and then Han Ju and Bai Yan had already filed in, looking unfriendly.
