Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 65 Five cities in a row (get up early and ask for a recommendation ticket)
Sima Nuo, Lieutenant of Xingyang County, in full armor, was patrolling the defense at the top of the city.

Two hours ago, a towering smoke suddenly rose from Mount Ao. According to the agreement between the Aocang Order and the five cities, once the smoke rose from Mount Ao, it must have been attacked. Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, Cheng The five cities of Gao and Xingyang must rush to help quickly. The order of Xingyang did not dare to neglect, and immediately mobilized more than a thousand old and weak to rush to Aocang.

There were not many defenders in Xingyang City, and Xingyang ordered to take away more than a thousand people, and there were only less than 500 people left in the city. Sima Nuo immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and no one was allowed to wait on the streets, and no noise was allowed. All the people in the city rushed to the top of the city and took strict precautions. Even so, Sima Nuo was still worried and still wanted to go to the city to inspect the defense in person.

When Sima Nuo patrolled outside the north gate for the fourth time, a Han army of 500 soldiers suddenly arrived on the road outside the city.

Sima Nuo immediately ordered the archers at the top of the city to get ready, and leaned out while leaning on the battlements and asked, "Stop, where did you come from? Have you brought guards?"

Under the city, the leader of the Han general snorted, raised a scroll of silk in his hand and shouted: "According to the order of Lord Chen Xi, I am here to assist the order of Xingyang to defend the city, and the order of Aocang to guard the city here. Hurry up and come down for inspection!"

"You guys are from Aocang?" Sima Nuo frowned, "Did you meet my lord on the way?"

"Nonsense!" The general said impatiently, "I came here by a small road, so I didn't see him!"

"The Commander of Xingyang has led his army to aid Aocang!" Sima Nuo smiled wryly, "Didn't Aocang be attacked? You didn't stay in Aocang to defend the city, why did you come to Xingyang instead?"

"Ao Cang has not been attacked!" The Han general outside the city said coldly, "The beacon fire at Mount Ao was lit by bandit soldiers and spies taking advantage of people's unpreparedness. Lord Chen Xi was worried that this was a trick of bandit soldiers to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so it was his life. The general led the troops from the headquarters to Xingyang to help defend the city, Wu Nasi, I have said so much, why don’t you send people down to inspect the defense?”

Sima Nuo was still a little skeptical, and immediately said: "You should guard the defense and shoot to the city."

"Fart!" The Han general was furious, and said angrily, "If you want to check, send someone down quickly, or if you don't want to check, I will take the troops back to Aocang. If there is a mistake in Xingyang, you are the only one to ask!" As soon as he finished speaking, the general actually turned his horse's head, and it seemed that he really planned to lead his troops back to Aocang.

Sima Nuo's face immediately changed when he heard this. If the beacon fire at Aoshan was really lit by bandits and spies, and the bandits were really planning to divert the tiger away from the mountain, then Xingyang might be the first target of the bandits!After all, compared to the four cities of Guangwu, Chenggao, Jingyi, and Suoyi, Xingyang is the real county, and there is obviously more oil and water.

Moreover, Sima Nuo also knew that at the junction of Dang County and Sanchuan County, there was indeed a large group of bandit soldiers active. It is said that they were the remnants of Xiang Chu. The old and the weak may not be able to defend, so Sima Nuo said urgently: "Hey, wait a minute, general, I will send someone down immediately!"

Reluctantly, the outsider reined in his horse and turned around, saying angrily, "Then hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment, general, and I will send someone down." Sima Nuo said, and at the same time, he hurriedly asked someone to hang the little official under the gate with a hanging basket. I could only bravely swim across the moat, and read the silk script from the general of the Han Dynasty. It was true that Ao Cang ordered Guanfang to defend.

At that moment, the little official turned his head and shouted: "My lord, it's Ao Cang's order to defend the customs!"

Only then was Sima Nuo relieved, and shouted: "Quick, quick, put down the drawbridge and open the city gate!"

In less than a moment, the high hanging bridge fell, and the heavy city gate was slowly opened. The Han general led hundreds of soldiers into the city slowly, and when he passed through the gate corridor, the corner of the Han general's mouth suddenly There was an undisguised grin, and Sima Nuo just saw the grin on Han Jiang's face when he came down from the top of the wall, he couldn't help being startled.

The next moment, the Han general suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the military master's clever plan is really powerful!"

After all, the Han general said with emotion: "Thinking of Xingyang, when I led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack for several months, I couldn't get in. I never thought that it would be so easy to take it today!"

Sima Nuo was shocked and said, "Aren't you the guard of Aocang? You, you, who are you?"

The general said with a smirk, "I am Long Qi, General of the Great Chu, so don't tell the wrong person when you get to King Yan!"

After all, the man raised his knife and dropped Sima Nuo's head in the air. When he flew into the air, Sima Nuo was still full of disbelief. General Da Chu?How can this be?Didn't Long Qi be killed by King Qi in Weishui?How did he come back to life?Could it be... the dragon is not dead! ?

Unfortunately, Sima Nuo will never know the answer.

Naturally, the Han general could not be Long Qi, but Huan Chu, a former general of the army.

Huan Chu beheaded Sima Nuo with a single blow, and raised his sword and shouted: "Long Qi, General of Great Chu, was ordered by the overlord of my family to lead an army of [-] to attack Xingyang. Why don't you surrender quickly?"

The old and weak Han soldiers in the city and the city immediately exploded. Some knelt down and begged for surrender, but more turned around and ran away.

Huan Chu did not send troops to cover up the killing, but just assigned trilogy to defend Xingyang City, and at the same time strictly rectified the law and order in the city.

Almost at the same time when Huan Chu captured Xingyang, Ji Bu and Xiao Kai also led five hundred light soldiers from their headquarters to attack Guangwu and Suoyi. Relying on the letter with the seal of Ao Cang Ling Guan Fang, Ji Bu and Xiao Kai successfully deceived the city gate without any effort.

About two hours later, Gaochu and Yuziqi also successfully captured Chenggao and Jingyi, which were a little further away.

At this point, all the five moats around Aocang were captured by the Chu army. At the same time, an extremely astonishing news spread quickly in Weidi: Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, led 50 elite troops to invade Weidi. Five people including Fan Zeng have each led [-] elite soldiers to attack the five cities of Xingyang, Guangwu, Chenggao, Jingba, and Suoyi!

In Aocang City, Xiang Zhuang was inspecting the cellar accompanied by Wei Liao.

The two walked out of the cellar filled with rice, and looked up again, and saw that there were towering open-air granaries all over the mountains and plains, and there were also a large number of cellars hidden underground. Such a sight is more than spectacular.Xiang Zhuang couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, just from the huge size of the warehouse and the huge amount of millet stored in the warehouse, it is enough to imagine how powerful the Qin Empire was back then!
But such a powerful empire collapsed in less than three years after the death of Qin Shihuang!It really makes people sigh!
After thinking about it carefully, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he accomplished three major events in history in just ten years, but he also made a fatal mistake. He formulated a large number of effective laws, but did not give the Great Qin Empire A strict and effective system for selecting new emperors was drawn up, and the result was the tragedy of the death of the Qin Empire for two generations!
Standing behind Xiang Zhuang, Wei Liao also felt a little emotional. Looking at the granaries and cellars all over the mountains and plains in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he entered Qin Dynasty in white clothes.

At that time, Wei Liao was in the prime of his life, and the first emperor won the government at a young age, with a majestic appearance. In order to discuss the plan to wipe out the six kingdoms in the Kanto region, the two monarchs and ministers had a long talk for four days and four nights without sleep. Six counties and more than a hundred counties, with a detailed investigation of the national strength and military strength of the Qin State, will not let Xiao Gongwei martingale be the best!
When Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao were sighing, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps behind them.

When he looked back, he saw Qin Yu coming in a hurry, and immediately bowed to report: "General, there is a visitor."

Xiang Zhuang nodded, then looked back at Wei Liao and said: "Military Master, Ao Cang is too big. I don't know when it will be until the end of the inspection. Let's leave it to Jing Qian. Let's go back first."

Wei Liao had no reason to refuse, so he followed Xiang Zhuang back to the Aocang government office.

As soon as he entered the hall of the Yamen Office, Xiang Zhuang saw a graceful figure with an enchanting figure from the back.

The young lady also turned her head when she heard the footsteps, but Xiang Zhuang was taken aback when he saw her appearance clearly. I dare say that this young lady is the beautiful woman who talked about Chen Xi behind his back in the morning.

"It's you?" The beautiful young lady saw Xiang Zhuang clearly and was a little surprised.

The middle-aged man became vigilant all of a sudden, and immediately drew his sword to block the beautiful lady. This beautiful lady and the middle-aged man are naturally the former Wei Princess Wei Wuyang and her bodyguard Dongbo.

Seeing Dongbo draw his sword, Qin Ji immediately drew her sword and stood in front of Xiang Zhuang.

More than a dozen personal soldiers guarding outside the hall of the government office also drew their swords one after another, and rushed in again, surrounding Wei Wuyang and Dong Bo in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the two sides were at war, Wei Wuyang couldn't help sighing quietly, and said, "Dong Bo, put away the sword."

Dong Bo had no choice but to put his sword back into its sheath and backed away two steps, Wei Wuyang took two steps forward, bowed to Xiang Zhuang and said: "Little girl Wei Yue, the name is Wuyang, I have seen the general."

Xiang Zhuang replied indifferently: "General Da Chu, Xiang Ji, styled Zhuang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang suddenly felt someone pulling his armor behind his back, he turned his head in some astonishment, and saw Wei Liao winking at him, while muttering softly: "General, take a step to speak."

Xiang Zhuang was confused by this old guy, he immediately confessed his crime to Wei Yue Wuyang, and followed Wei Liao into the side hall.

As soon as he entered the side hall, Wei Liao said excitedly: "General, according to the Book of Rites: Men with twenty crowns have characters, and women with fifteen crowns have characters. This little lady has a name, surname and characters, which shows that she is of noble birth! The most important thing is that her surname is Wei, and there are heroes guarding her! General, this woman's status is indescribable!"

"Huh?" Xiang Zhuang suddenly said, "You mean, she is the former Princess Wei?"

Wei Liao said: "Even if it's not the former Princess Wei, she must be a descendant of the royal family!"

"Hey, this is really hard to find, and it's easy to find! We are looking for the descendants of the old Wei royal family, and she sent it to the door by herself!" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang suddenly thought of something again, He frowned immediately and said, "But, military teacher, this girl is a woman, can she command the powerful and powerful families of Wei?"

Wei Liao rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile, "General, you are so confused. Of course, a woman can't order Wei to be powerful, but General, you are a man, a general of Great Chu, and a rare hero in the world! If you can If you become the son-in-law of the former Wei royal family, wouldn't it be logical to come forward and order the land of Wei to be powerful?"

"You mean, let me marry that girl?" Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up for a moment.

"Why, General, are you still unwilling?" Wei Liao stroked his long beard and smiled.

"Hey." Xiang Zhuang rubbed his hands, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha... Okay! Let's do it like this!" ####################### #################################################### #######################PS: Thanks to: Su Shili, Hu Jiming, Lazy King, Rave V Party, jhububu, Yan Zifeixi, Dead World , the ancestor of kendo, innocent little pig, the last love is to let go of your hands, maomaomao365, Jade Blood Sword 1, hs85242059, fantasy HOP, crybaby Xiaozi, and other book friends for their generous rewards, thank you very much.
