Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 529 Under Quyang City
Jiujiang County, under Quyang City.

The Chu army led by Xiang Yu has been besieging Quyang for four days. However, Quyang city is high, and the Chu army led by Xiang Yu is not only extremely exhausted but also not good at attacking the city.
These days, although the city has been attacking the city every day, it has been a rare opportunity for the Chu army to rest.

Because the Chu army rarely stays in one place for such a long time, the Chu army has been in motion almost every day for a while.

After Xiang Yu yelled and cursed under Quyang City for a while, he went to a military tent in the camp that was obviously more refined.

Outside the military tent, a pottery urn was still steaming hot air, exuding a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Yafu, are you better?" Xiang Yu asked softly to a skinny old man lying on the sickbed.

It turned out that the person who fell ill in the army tent was Fan Zeng, the number one counselor of Chu State, whom Xiang Yu honored as his father.

Fan Zeng was originally ordered to guard Pengcheng, the capital of Chu. However, after Yingbo rebelled against Chu, Xiang Yu, who was suspicious by nature, feared that the other generals or officials who were outside the party would also be undercover agents of the Qin army, so he summoned powerful generals and important ministers to his side.

Fan Zeng, who had a great reputation in Chu State, was naturally among them.

However, Mr. Fan Zeng is over seventy years old now, how can he bear such wind, food and sleep, bumpy day and night.

It didn't take long before he fell ill, and when he arrived in Quyang, he was too sick to get up.

The reason why the Chu army stayed in Quyang for so long was probably because they were concerned about Fan Zeng's health.

"King Xiang, stop worrying about me as an old man. I know my own body best. I'm afraid I won't be able to last for a few days..." Fan Zeng on the sickbed looked haggard and weakly said to Xiang Yu: "Listen to me. In other words, hurry back to Jiangdong, use the land of Jiangdong to benefit people and Yuqin, so as to ensure that... the great Chu king's career will not fall!"

After Fan Zeng finished speaking with great effort, he coughed uncontrollably.

Xiang Yu hurriedly supported Fan Zeng's back and lifted Fan Zeng up so that he could feel better.

"Yafu is good to rest. After Xiang Yu breaks through Quyang City, he must arrest the best healer in the city to treat Yafu!" Obviously, even at this time, Xiang Yu still didn't want to admit defeat.

It was difficult for the arrogant Xiang Yu to accept the show of weakness of letting the Chu army give up most of its territory and retreat to Jiangdong.

He has always believed that as long as he finds the main force of the Qin army and fights decisively with him, he will definitely be able to turn the world around in one battle like the battle against Julu.

"You guys, take good care of Yafu, and report to me at any time if there is any situation." Seeing that Fan Zeng relaxed slightly, Xiang Yu gave instructions to the waiters around him, and then left Fan Zeng's big tent.

Seeing Xiang Yu's leaving figure, Fan Zeng could only helplessly cover his chest, and watched Xiang Yu leave with a sad expression.

……

In the past two days, the Chu army's attack on Quyang City was more intense than the previous few days. Although Xiang Yu did not personally climb the city wall like ordinary soldiers, he has been paying close attention to the battle situation under the city.

However, after two days of watching, Xiang Yu's frown became deeper and deeper. The exhausted Chu army fought hard, but the Qin army's toughness exceeded Xiang Yu's expectations.

It can be said that since the formation of the army, the opponents Xiang Yu has experienced are basically the Chu army who charged and dispersed.

Even Zhang Han's army did not last long under the Chu army's offensive.

However, Xiang Yu of this Qin army felt the difference deeply. There was an unyielding ferocity and arrogance in this Qin army. Once the Chu army had already attacked the city wall, but Xiang Yu saw a man who had already Qin Jun, who was seriously injured, suddenly picked up Chu Jun who had just climbed up the city wall and jumped off the top of the city together.

Near the end, there are some cavins, and I wrote a little bit.
