Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 188 Zhou Wen's Death ([-])

The whole of Shangnan is covered with snowflakes, and the surrounding mountains are covered with white flowers.

In Zhang Chujun's camp, Zhou Wen personally led the army to resist the Qin army's attack several times.The whole camp was filled with the smell of blood, and Zhou Wen had just led the troops to defeat Zhang Ping's attack.

All the way back to his military tent, Zhou Wen couldn't bear to see the sergeants around him still wearing thin summer clothes.

As soon as he arrived in the tent, Zhou Wen touched his eyes that were about to shed tears and told the soldiers on the side: "Go! Call all the generals in the army, I will announce something!"

"Yes! General!" The soldiers tightened their clothes, and walked out with their hands folded.

But after a while, all the generals of Zhang Chujun arrived except for the general who had to guard the camp gate.

"I have met the general!" Everyone saluted, and Zhou Wen nodded.

All the generals sat down and looked up at Zhou Wen, waiting for orders.

"It's been a few days! The mountains have been covered by heavy snow, and the weather has plummeted. Because the winter clothes cannot be made in time, and the Qin army has repeatedly harassed our army's supply line. Most of my hundreds of thousands of troops still have no winter clothes to wear. In the howling cold wind Trembling in the midst of it. My heart is not at ease!" Zhou Wen shook his head a little annoyed, and said regretfully.

"General! This is not a crime of war, but God's will. Don't blame yourself!" Gongsun Xuan comforted after hearing this.

"Don't persuade me either!" Zhou Wen waved his hand at Gongsun Xuan, and then said with a dejected expression, "It's not a crime of war? Ridiculous! This is a crime of war! If I didn't wait for the food, grass and supplies to be ready, An would have been killed by the Qin army." Stop here? Look at the false king, although he has not taken the entire Sanchuan County, but the situation is getting better and better! And what about us? Although the army captured Nanyang County and Wuguan, and entered Guanzhong, the situation is not good. It is becoming more and more unstable. The counties in Nanyang also have the intention of returning to Qin. I have already decided to withdraw from Guanzhong and strictly guard Wuguan and eat Nanyang! When the food, grass and supplies are ready in the coming year, I will march into Guanzhong to seize Xianyang!"

"General! Is this the king's intention?" Gongsun Xuan asked in astonishment.

"Your Majesty will not let me withdraw from Guanzhong. This is a decision I made after careful consideration! All the consequences will be borne by myself." Zhou Wen looked at Gongsun Xuan in surprise, and said with a frown.

Gongsunxuan knew that Zhou Wen had misunderstood him, and Gongsunxuan naturally knew that Zhou Wen regarded himself and his nephew Zhou Yi as successors to train him. Otherwise, how could he, a bandit who had just defected to Zhang Chu, steal the position of general?As soon as Zhou Wen finished speaking, Gongsun Xuan immediately got up and cupped his hands and explained: "The general misunderstood the meaning of a certain family! I just wanted to explain the situation here to the king and withdraw from Guanzhong at the same time! If the king pursues it in the future, the general will Take it with the general!"

After hearing Gongsun Xuan's words, Zhou Wen looked a little better.Then he told the generals in the tent: "Every battalion is ready! Withdraw to Wuguan tonight and exit from Guanzhong!"

"Here!" The generals stood up and bowed their hands to accept orders.

In Xiapi County, East China Sea, in a medium-sized manor.

A man in black clasped his hands and said something to the man in white. The man in white was holding a booklet in his hand and listening to the man in black's report.

The face of the man in white was as clear as a sculpture, and his angular face was extremely handsome.He looks very gentle on the outside, but the unintentional determination in his eyes is not to be underestimated.I saw the corners of his mouth raised, and asked softly: "There must be great talents in this family, but I can't do without this trip!"

"Young Master, why do you want to go to the Xiang family? No matter where you go now, which one of them would not treat you courteously based on your status?" The man in black seemed to be thinking of the man in white, and asked very eagerly.

"Zhang An, you only saw the re-establishment of the five kingdoms of the world, but you can't see their danger! Although this clan did not establish a country, it is the strongest force. It doesn't matter whether it is the elite soldiers and horses, or the population of the region. Others can compare." The man in white smiled, making the somewhat cold air around seem to warm up.

Zhang An, the man in black, listened to the man in white. Just as he was about to refute, he heard the man in white continue: "Besides, Mrs. Xiang didn't think about victory, she thought about defeat first! You are a seasoned country seeker! If Mrs. Xiang is willing to help me restore Zhang Liang to Korea So what if I serve Mrs. Xiang for the rest of my life after Korea is restored?"

Zhang Liang's resolute tone made Zhang An feel a little ashamed, but Zhang An still dissuaded him: "What if the Xiang family wants to take over the world? At that time, my South Korea will be destroyed again? It's better not to follow the Xiang family!"

"With me by Mrs. Xiang's side, I will definitely ensure that South Korea can continue the ancestral temple and society!" Zhang Liang said with a firm and confident expression.After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang ran away with his thoughts towards the west.

Zhang An followed Zhang Liang since he was a child and knew that persuasion would not work, so he stopped talking, followed Zhang Liang and looked to the west, thinking of the old land of Han.

The loud rumbling noise and the sound of horseshoes made the people of Wu County feel very at ease.Xiang Yu was the first to return to Wu County with [-] elite cavalry, and the army followed slowly.Xiang Yu was so anxious to go to Wu County first because Xiong Xin, the descendant of King Chu whom he ordered to search for, was found. Xiang Yu urgently needed to return to Wu County to take charge of the overall situation to avoid being occupied by Xiong Xinjiu.

"The general is here!" In front of the gate of the general's mansion, Xiang Yu got off his horse with Fan Kuai and Lu Matong, and someone had already gone to lead the horse.Then someone shouted loudly in front of the general's mansion.

Xiang Yu looked at this person with a frown, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is your subordinate? What is your name?"

"General! This is Xiong Lin, the captain of the imperial forest army ordered by the king!" The person who yelled did not have the slightest respect for Xiang Yu, and he replied arrogantly.

"Which king's order is it?" Xiang Yu's eyes froze, and countless killing shots erupted, making Xiong Lin sweat coldly.

"Chu Wang Xiongxin!" Xiong Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and replied in fear.

Xiang Yu hummed heavily, and then said: "How can there be a King of Chu in my Kuaiji County? Who is Xiong Xin?"

After walking a few steps forward, Xiang Yu told Lu Matong who was behind him: "This man is bewitching the crowd with his bewitching words! Pull him out and behead him!"

"Here!" Lu Matong cupped his hands immediately, and then motioned to the left and right to take Xiong Lin down.

The sergeants guarding the gate were all Xiang Yu's subordinates, so naturally no one reported to Xiong Xin.

At this time, Xiong Xin was sitting in Xiang Yu's seat, listening to the flattery of the heads of the clan heads in Kuaiji County.

"You are all heroes of Great Chu, when the general returns! This king will ask for some official positions for you in front of the general!" Xiong Xin happily promised after listening to the flattery of the clan heads.

After Xiong Xin was searched to Wu County, she pretended to be the king of Chu under the name of Xiang Yu.And live in Xiang Yu's General's Mansion. Fortunately, Li Bi and Luo Jia were left by Xiang Yu to guard the mansion, so Xiong Xin couldn't go to the backyard of the General's Mansion.
