Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 324 Entering Xianyang (14)

Xiang Yu and his ministers were all delighted that Tian Heng and Tian Heng had agreed so quickly, and Linghu Qiu and Tian Heng who had returned to their camp were also extremely happy.

The biggest official in Linghuchou's lineage is himself, General Huben. This time, Xiang Yu proposed that King Chu Huai can make him a duke and establish a country, which made Linghuchou very at a loss, and more thanks to Xiang Yu.He knew very well that if Xiang Yu didn't have this kind of thinking, no matter how much credit he made among his allies, he would not be able to establish a marquis and establish a country.

Soon, Linghu Qiu summoned his confidant generals Han Xiang, Captain Linghu Yong, Gongsun Ping, and personal school captain Tuoba'an.

"I asked you all to come here to announce a major event! It is a major event related to our future prosperity and wealth!" Seeing that everyone was present, Linghu Qiu said pretending to be mysterious.

"General! But Your Majesty wants to give the general the title of lord?" Linghu Yong, who had been Linghu Chou's personal soldier for many years, naturally knew what Linghu Chou was thinking, so he asked aloud.

"No! No!! No!!!" Linghu Chou shook his head after hearing this, and then continued with the corner of his mouth raised: "Keep guessing! Be bold!"

"But Han Gong Xiang Yu, the commander of the coalition army, wants to reward the general for his achievements?" Duke Sun Ping, the captain, saw that Linghu Qiu was very happy, and asked cautiously with a little care in his heart.

"Gongsun Duwei is worthy of being the general of our Huben Army!" Linghu Qiu immediately praised Gongsun Ping's words, and then solved the mystery by himself: "Han Gong Xiang Yu feels that a certain general and General Tian Heng of the Qi Kingdom are self-sufficient." Since I joined the coalition army, I have made a lot of contributions, so I want to ask the co-lord, King Huai, to reward me as dukes, give me a fief, and allow me to build a country!"

"What?" Han Xiang and the others all opened their eyes wide in surprise.

Everyone looked at it and felt that they were not dreaming, so Han Xiang took the lead and said, "Can the general be sure this is real?"

"Zhang Liang, Minister of the Chu State Military Department, spoke in person, and Duke Han himself agreed! General Han thinks this is true? Or is it fake?" Linghu Qiu smiled, glanced at Han Xiang, and said.

"Congratulations, General!" Han Xiang immediately cupped his hands to congratulate Linghu Chou, then he knelt down on one knee as if remembering something, and said, "Last General Han Xiang, pay homage to the lord!"

Han Xiang's action made the other three people a little surprised, but the surprise turned into surprise. The three of them also knelt on one knee and said: "The last general Linghu Yong (Gongsun Ping, Tuoba'an), pay homage to the lord!"

Although the four of Han Xiang had been Linghu Chou's confidantes for a long time, they were still a little happy to be able to make the four of them recognize Linghu Chou as their master.

"You worship me as your master. After the feudal kingdom is established, I will not hesitate to reward you!" Linghu Qiu immediately got up and helped the four of them up, and then said his own promise.

"Thank you, my lord!" The four of Han Xiang thanked each other again.

Just as Linghu Qiu and the others were thinking about the future, Gongsun Ping cupped his hands and said, "Although my lord has the Duke of Han's promise to be a Duke and Jianguo, it is not a trivial matter for Jianguo to be a Duke and Marquis! Among them, soldiers, horses, money and food are indispensable! Moreover, My lord is still a subject of the Yan Kingdom, and the soldiers and horses in our hands are still under the tent of the Yan Kingdom. Even if the lord can get the fief and build the country, the lord can't defend the feudal country without soldiers and food!"

Gongsun Ping's words woke up the people who were still dreaming like a basin of cold water, and everyone felt a little depressed.

After thinking about it for a while, Linghu Qiu said: "The Huben Army was originally built by this general. Although there are people placed by the King of Yan in the army. But now most of them are single-handedly promoted by this general. This army can still be used! There are not many people left for the king of Yan, but our coalition forces have not taken the entire Guanzhong Qin land, so let these people be the vanguard and consume their troops!"

"My lord is wise!" Han Xiang praised immediately.

Han Xiang praised Linghuchou for enjoying this feeling, but he knew it was not the time to relax, so he continued: "As for the money and food! There will be no way to solve it!"

"My lord! Why don't you ask Duke Han for help?" Gongsun Ping said after hearing this.

"Oh?!" Linghu Qiu was a little surprised.

"The lord must have expressed his intention to follow Duke Han!" Gongsun Ping looked at Linghu Qiu with his hands folded, and then asked aloud.

"It's natural! Not only this general, but even Tian Heng, the general after the King's family of Qi, expressed to Han Gong Xiang Yu that if he can establish a country, he must follow Han Gong and obey Han Gong's orders!" Linghu Qiu nodded, not at all. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Ping was able to guess.

"Then the lord can borrow money and food from the Duke of Han. Presumably, the Duke of Han will definitely agree to make more allies in the Central Plains!" Seeing Linghu Qiu nodded, Gongsun Ping said immediately. "If the Duke of Han wants to bring the world back to spring and autumn, he must have someone to be an ally in the Central Plains. That's why the lord and the general of the Qi Kingdom, Tian Heng, are alone! Besides the lord and that Tian Heng, Huang Xin and others in the south They will definitely be able to get the title! Huang Xin, Tian Heng and others are all from the wealthy family, and they will never ask the Duke of Han for money and food. But the lord is not from the wealthy family, so if he borrows money and food from the Duke of Han and agrees on when to return it, it will definitely be successful. !"

"If you can get money and food from Duke Han, I will credit you, Gongsun Ping, for a great contribution!" Linghu Qiujian said aloud after he solved another big problem, and he had no worries about his country's founding.

"Thank you, Lord!" Gongsun Ping thanked Linghu Qiu very happily.

Tian Heng, who was in the camp of the Qi army, also summoned the generals of the army to discuss, and the generals Tian Ba, Tian Ta, Captain Jian Lu, Jian He, and Jiang Shi were all on the list.

Tian Hengjian said what Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang said when they were at the banquet, and asked everyone for their opinions.Tian Ba, Jian Lu, Jian He, and Jiang Shi all bowed their hands to congratulate Tian Heng, and said that if Tian Heng needs it, they can serve Tian Heng.But Tian Ta disagreed with Tian Heng's move to split Qi, and kept silent.

Although most of his confidants agreed, Tian Ta, the most valiant general under Tian Heng's command, remained silent, which made Tian Heng a little annoyed.

Waving for everyone to go down, Tian Heng was thinking about how to win Tian Ta over.After all, what Tian Ta holds in his hand is Qi's only [-] cavalry in the coalition army. The role of cavalry in today's battlefield is becoming more and more important. Tian Heng does not want to lose this power.

While Tian Heng was thinking about how to win over Tian Ta, Li You captured Ning Qin and Ping Shu and marched to Wucheng.

As soon as he arrived around Wucheng, Li You encountered the Qin army led by Sima Cong.

The two armies fought to a close, and then Li You ordered the army to set up camp and ordered the two cities of Pingshu and Ningqin to take strict precautions, and sent people back to Tongguan to report to Xiang Yu.

After Xiang Yu received Li You's report, he ordered Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu to lead the troops to support.

After Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu each received Xiang Yu's order, in order to make a good impression on Xiang Yu, they immediately rushed to the Chu army camp [-] miles away from Wucheng with their respective soldiers and horses.

In the big tent of the Chu army, Xiang Yu summoned Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang and other advisers to discuss how to deal with the last defensive force of the Qin army.
