Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 549
When Bi Shu’s army reached the entrance of Ziwu Valley, it was two days later than the Han army. When they saw a Han army blocking the valley not far from the entrance of the valley, Bi Shu did not rush to attack, but ordered Chu army scouts to search both sides of the valley In the dense forest, he personally led people to climb the cliff on the side of the valley to investigate the enemy's situation.

Tieniu climbed a lone pine hanging out of the cliff and looked down the cliff for a while, then returned to the cliff and reported to Bi Shu: "General, there are at most 5000 Han troops blocking the entrance of the valley."

"5000 people?" Bi Shu pondered, "So the white ink army has already gone to Xianyang first?"

Tie Niu said: "The army of white ink is sent to Xianyang, the prince may be in danger, order to attack."

"No, let me think about it, let me think about it first." Bi Shu waved his hand, then looked at the valley road under the cliff and fell into deep thought. After a long while, a smile appeared on Bi Shu's face again. Said, "Hehe, it seems that my senior brother has nowhere to go, he took the army to Xianyang to surrender to the prince."

"Bai Mo surrendered?" Tieniu said urgently, "General, there must be fraud in it!"

"Oh?" Bi Shu looked at Tieniu and said with great interest, "Why do you say that?"

"Do you need to say that?" Tie Niu said anxiously, "General, you think, Bai Mo is Liu Bang's loyal minister, and he is loyal to the King of Han. How could he descend to Chu? No, he will never, General, hurry up and send troops to attack the entrance of Ziwu Valley, it is too late, and the crown prince might be in danger."

"Hehe, Tie Niu, you are worrying too much." But Bi Shu waved his hand with a smile, and said, "The prince will not be in danger, if Bai Mo surrenders for real, it's fine, if he pretends to surrender, I'm afraid it will have to be faked, heh. "

Youdao is master and apprentice Mo Ruoshi, and Bi Shu knows that the prince's military strategy is not top-notch, at best it is top-grade, but in terms of scheming, few people can match the prince. The prince is deep, and as for Bai Mo, it is really impossible to compete with the prince under such unfavorable circumstances.

"Making the fake come true?" Tieniu didn't understand, and asked in bewilderment, "General, what do you mean?"

Bi Shu didn't say much, just smiled and said: "Tie Niu, you will know when the time comes."

Xianyang, Xiangzheng Xingyuan.

Gao Lang held his saber in his hand and went straight in, bowed his hands to Xiang Zheng and said, "Zihe, great joy!"

"Oh?" Xiang Zheng got up from his knees and asked with a smile, "Great joy? Where does the joy come from?"

Gao Lang said: "A messenger came just now, and the white ink army has arrived ten miles east of Xianyang City."

Xiang Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he said anxiously: "Zi Liang, you mean to say that Bai Mo is here to offer troops and surrender?"

"That's right, here is the soldier's talisman." After finishing speaking, Gao Lang took out the letter and the soldier's talisman from his pocket.

Xiang Zheng stretched out his hand to take the talisman, opened the letter of surrender and read it hastily, then fell into deep thought, and asked Gao Lang after a long while: "Ziliang, do you think Bai Mo is a false surrender?"

Gao Lang said, "I can't tell."

Xiang Zheng smiled, waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter whether he surrendered for real or pretended to surrender, go to meet him first."

At present, Xiang Zheng and Gao Lang led hundreds of soldiers out of Xianyang to the east. After three miles out of the city, they met Bai Mo and dozens of accompanying guards. .”

Xiang Zheng didn't get off his horse, let alone stepped forward to help him, but just carefully looked at this legendary figure.

Xiang Zheng didn't dismount, and neither did Gao Lang and the accompanying soldiers of the Chu army. The big Han Yulin Zuo Zhonglang, who came with Bai Mo, looked angrily, and held back his anger.

After a while, Xiang Zhengcai "suddenly" came back to his senses, quickly rolled off the saddle and stepped forward to help Bai Mo, Gao Lang also got off the horse, followed Xiang Zheng with his hand on the horizontal knife, The sharp eyes were fixed on the uncle and grandson who was kneeling behind Bai Mo, for fear that the uncle and grandson would suddenly explode and hurt others.

"Oh, I'm rude, the student is rude." Xiang Zheng stretched out his hand to help Bai Mo, and said repeatedly, "Master, please get up, please get up quickly, Mr. Master."

Bai Mo and Bi Shu came out of Guigu together, and Bi Shu was Xiang Zheng's teacher, so it wasn't abrupt for Xiang Zheng to call Bai Mo his uncle.

Bai Mo took advantage of the situation and got up, and said calmly: "I dare not be a criminal minister."

"You deserve it, you deserve it." Xiang Zheng held Bai Mo's hands and said with a smile, "The uncle and the teacher came out of Guigu together. In terms of knowledge and seniority, they deserve it, they deserve it, ha ha."

Bai Mo also laughed, and said, "The prince is too polite, heh."

After a few words of greeting, Bai Mo said again: "Prince, the army of criminal ministers is now stationed ten miles east of Xianyang City. The prince can send someone with a military amulet to receive it at any time."

This time, Bai Mo never thought of keeping the troops under his command. The reason is very simple. If you refuse to hand over the troops under your command, how can you convince Prince Chu of your sincerity?
Xiang Zheng smiled, then suddenly turned around and said to Gao Lang, "Zi Liang, where's the soldier talisman?"

Gao Lang took out the military talisman from his pocket and handed it to Xiang Zheng, Xiang Zheng took the military talisman and handed it to Bai Mo.

Bai Mo's heart trembled slightly, but on the surface he asked with some surprise: "Prince, what do you mean?"

Xiang Zhengdao: "Well, if the students rashly send someone to take over, it may cause a mutiny. Since the uncle has surrendered to Chu, he will be the minister of Chu, so it is better to let the uncle command the army."

"This..." Bai Mo frowned, "I'm afraid it's not right?"

Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Oh, very appropriate, the students think it is very appropriate."

Bai Mo hesitated, but Xiang Zheng couldn't help saying that he stuffed the military talisman into his hand, a stern look flashed in Uncle Sunying's eyes, thinking that Prince Chu is really looking for death!

Bai Mo took the military talisman and said again: "Prince, I wonder if the guilty minister can meet the King of Han?"

Bai Mo is most worried about the safety of Han Wang Liu Heng, because if Liu Heng has something good or bad, then his false surrender will become meaningless.

"Of course, the king of Han is at the student's residence, and the uncle can see you at any time." Xiang Zheng looked at the stern-looking uncle and grandson Ying and the soldiers of the Han army behind Bai Mo, and said, "Students know what the uncle is worried about, but there is no need to. The struggle between Chu and Han is nothing but hegemony, and the father has already issued an edict, so long as the king of Han obeys the king of Chu as uncle king, he can still be king and keep his kingdom."

As soon as Xiang Zheng's words came out, not only Bai Mo was taken aback for a moment, but the expressions of his uncle, grandson Ying and the accompanying soldiers of the Han army were even more confused. The King of Han is still the king, so can he keep the kingdom?How can this be? !Chu and Han are feuds, and Xiang Yu was killed by Liu Bang. Doesn't King Xiangzhuang of Chu want to avenge Xiang Yu?
But Xiang Zheng didn't seem to see the wrong situation of the Han soldiers, and said to Bai Mo with solemn hands: "Master, please."

Bai Mo's heart became more and more heavy. At this moment, he felt that he really couldn't see through the young Prince Chu in front of him. What kind of character did his junior teach him?But meeting Xiang Yu's warm gaze, Bai Mo still forced a smile, and walked back solemnly, saying: "The prince pleases first, the prince pleases first."

Xiang Zheng smiled and walked ahead.

On the road leading from Luoyang to Hangu Pass, huge troops, horse teams and convoys are winding westward.

In the king's chariot, Xiang Zhuang, who seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed just now, suddenly said to Bai Lixian who was accompanying him, "Ziliang, I plan to abolish Zheng'er and change Lishu. The son is the prince."

Bai Lixian's heart was shocked when he heard the words, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Over the years, with the expansion of Xiangzhuang's harem lineup, the number of children has also increased sharply. Now there are more than thirty sons alone, but the sons who have grown up or have shown their hearts are still those few, Xiang Zheng, Xiang Zhi, Xiang Quan, Xiang Shu, Xiang Wang, and Xiang Yong, but Xiang Zhi is dead.

Among these sons, Xiang Zhuang usually loves Xiang Shu the most.

From a rational point of view, it is normal for Xiang Zhuang to think of abolishing the establishment because he loves Xiang Shu, but Bai Lixian knows that things may not be so simple, because Shu'er was born by his younger sister Baili Yishui. Bai Lixian's nephew, the king suddenly mentioned this to him, could he be testing him?

Seeing that Bailixian remained silent for a long time, Xiang Zhuang said again, "Ziliang, what do you think?"

Seeing that Baili Xian really couldn't hide it, he said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I really dare not say anything about abolishing the establishment."

"Okay, I know what you mean." Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly, and did not continue to press Bai Lixian.

After a while, there was a soft snoring sound in the carriage, but Bai Lixian no longer felt sleepy, and sighed sadly in his heart, the house of the most ruthless emperor, the most ruthless emperor's house...

Xianyang, Prince Xingyuan.

Xiang Zheng smiled and said to Liu Heng: "King of Han, today you and your uncle have a good chat about the past, and tomorrow you will leave for Luoyang." , so there is no need to go to Luoyang, but I have to trouble you to stay and assist Ziliang in managing Guanzhong."

Gao Lang also bowed to Bai Mo and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

"Don't dare, dare not." Bai Mo hurriedly knelt up and stood up, cupping his hands in return.

"Okay, let's chat then, ha ha." Xiang Zheng got up after saying that, and walked straight away with Gao Lang.

When Xiang Zheng and Gao Lang walked away, Liu Heng and Bai Mo immediately hugged each other and cried loudly. So sad.

"Father." Liu Heng said while weeping, "I thought I would never see you again."

"Your Majesty." Bai Mo also burst into tears, and said extremely guilty, "I am incompetent, I am ashamed of the King, ashamed of the former king, ashamed of the entrustment of the former king..."

"Father Xiang, I don't blame you." Liu Heng thought that Bai Mo had really surrendered to Chu State. The trend of the times cannot be reversed by manpower." After a pause, Liu Heng said again, "I have no regrets that I can see my father-in-law today."

"Your Majesty, you must not have any thoughts of committing suicide." Bai Mo's face changed slightly, and he winked at Uncle Sun Ying and Uncle Sun Shang. The two brothers understood, and immediately got up and stood guard in front of the hall. Only then did Bai Mo lower his voice to say Liu Heng said, "Your Majesty, my surrender to Chu is a feigned surrender. I will definitely try to recapture Guanzhong, and then welcome your Majesty back."
