Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 328 Entering Xianyang (18)

The Wei and Han armies tried their best and finally took the city wall of Gaoguan after losing nearly 4 people.

Dong Yi in front of the pass saw that his side had gained the upper hand above the pass, so he waved his hand and ordered the army to charge.

Wei Gang, who had reached the bottom of the city, also ordered people to open the city gate at the right time, and the coalition cavalry outside the city began to rush into Gaoguan.

....................................

After Dong Yi, Huang Xin, and Shen Li led the army to take Yaoguan, they reported the battle situation to Xiang Yu through Chu State's intelligence system.And asked whether the next step is to enter Lantian, or directly press on Xianyang along Bashui.

Outside Wucheng, the coalition camp.

Xiang Yu was dealing with trivial affairs in the army. Although the coalition forces had fought several times with the Qin army in Wucheng in the past few days, they still couldn't achieve the goal of eliminating a large number of Qin army's vital forces.Due to the request of Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu, most of the troops in the battle were Qi Yan soldiers, so the losses of both sides were similar.

"My lord! The report of Gaoguan!" Wei Bo, who had been hiding in Xianyang and assigned the personnel of the intelligence department, entered the commander's tent with the report of Dong Yi and others, his face was full of joy.

Xiang Yu was a little surprised when he heard it, put down the Chinese book in his hand, took the report and read it.

Wei Bo also said cautiously at the side at this time: "According to the report from the intelligence department, Gaoguan has been captured by the three generals Dong Yi, Huang Xin, and Shen Li! Nowhere to be found! The Chu army was unscathed when we captured Gaoguan, but the Wei and Han armies lost nearly 4 people in order to capture the Gaoguan wall!"

"It seems that after Huangxin and Shenli knew the promise Gu made to Tian Heng and the two, they began to eliminate dissidents under their command!" Xiang Yu put down the report, looked at the southwest side with deep meaning and said.

Xiang Yu informed Huang Xin and Shen Li through Dong Yi and the intelligence officers who were hiding beside Huang Xin and Shen Li that Xiang Yu promised Tian Heng and Linghu Chou to be the duke and marquis of Jianguo after breaking Xianyang.

After Huang Xin and Shen Li heard the news, their hearts were full of longing.After convening the generals under his command to express their thoughts implicitly, it was decided to eradicate those who opposed and did not support them.

Using the tough battle of attacking Yaoguan to let those generals and their subordinates die as cannon fodder, and I rely on their hard work to make Xiang Yu pay attention to myself. This is how the Wei and Han armies will lose so much in the battle of Yaoguan s reason.

Xiang Yu is also happy to see the success of this, but he is a little unhappy when he thinks that there will be generals like Huang Xin and Shen Li under his command.

"Wei Bo! Do you think Huang Xin and Shen Li can be granted the title of Duke Jianguo to divide the lands of Wei and Han?" Xiang Yu quickly adjusted and asked Wei Bo who was still waiting for orders.

"I dare not speak nonsense!" Wei Bo cautiously peeked at Xiang Yu, then cupped his hands and said.

Wei Bo was born in Heibingtai, had served the First Emperor, so he knew that the majesty of the emperor should not be easily offended.Although Xiang Yu is still nominally the lord of the Chu Kingdom, Wei Bo knows the ability and ambition of his lord, so he dare not speak freely like when he first defected to Xiang Yu.

"But it doesn't matter!" Xiang Yu glanced at Wei Bo in surprise.

"I feel that both Huang Xin and Shen Li are reckless men, and there are no resourceful people in their tents. If they can let Jianguo divide Wei and Han, the usual behavior of these two people will definitely make Wei The two countries of South Korea will not be able to restore the people's livelihood with peace of mind after the destruction of Qin! At that time, after the lord's rule is restored, he can raise his troops to emulate the former Qin State and annex Wei and Han, and then gobble up the world and achieve the great cause of the emperor!" Wei Bo heard that, while looking at Xiang Yu, Said carefully.

Seeing the approving expression on Xiang Yu's face, Wei Bo secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he finally guessed right.

In fact, Wei Bo did not agree with Xiang Yu's awarding the two people who were born in the head of Guizhou, such as Linghu Qiu and Huang Xin, as princes and promising them to build the country.In Wei Bo's mind, the one who can become a prince and build a country must be a descendant of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

However, in order to achieve the goal of controlling the development of the Central Plains, Xiang Yu wanted to reward the generals of various countries in the coalition forces for their recklessness. Wei Bo, the intelligence chief under Xiang Yu's command, could not stop him.

"You're right!" Xiang Yu nodded in approval, and then said: "Tian Heng, Huang Xin and others can divide the four kingdoms of Wei, Han, Qi and Yan, but the four kingdoms alone cannot achieve the goal of isolation!"

"The lord is trying to make the Central Plains more chaotic?" Wei Bo asked thoughtfully after hearing Xiang Yu's words.

"Of course!" Xiang Yu looked at Wei Bo and nodded unabashedly.

"If that's the case! My lord, why don't you entrust all the powerful courtiers in the courts of various countries, and most of them are entrusted to other countries as a check and balance?" Seeing that Xiang Yu was not hiding it, Wei Bo also expressed his thoughts. "And, if my lord is like this, he will definitely not be refuted and hated by the princes of the Central Plains today!"

Xiang Yu thought about Wei Bo's strategy for a while, and found that it was very feasible, so he praised him aloud: "It's so lonely to underestimate you! You can also be a mastermind!"

"I'm just a reckless person with rough martial arts skills, so I can't be praised by the master!" Wei Bo replied very modestly, and then bowed his watch sincerely to show his loyalty: "If the lord hadn't accepted it in the past, the minister would have died in Zhao. The Black Ice Terrace under Gao’s command is in the hands. How can there be the head of the intelligence department under the account of Duke Han of the Chu State? I am grateful for the kindness of the lord, and I will definitely serve the lord for the rest of my life! Swear to the death!”

"If you have such a heart, it is not in vain to let you be in charge of the intelligence department!" Xiang Yu nodded very usefully, and then said: "After the capture of Xianyang, I will make you a noble and teach you to be glorious!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Wei Bo heard Xiang Yu's promise, and immediately fell to the ground with his hands folded.

"Get up quickly!" Seeing Wei Bo's big gift, Xiang Yu immediately got up and went to help Wei Bo up.Then he told Wei Bo: "Since you proposed entrusting the powerful ministers under the tents of the other princes in the Central Plains, let the officers of the intelligence department in various places do their best to investigate. See who has the strength and ambition, and can be used by Gu! "

"Your servant must order the officers of the intelligence department to investigate well, and the lord will not be disappointed!" Wei Bo was supported by Xiang Yu, and he bowed his hands to make a promise.

"En!" Xiang Yu nodded, and then exchanged greetings with Wei Bo.

..............................

After exchanging greetings, Wei Bo tactfully withdrew from the tent.

Today, Xiang Zhuang, a lieutenant general of the Huben Army, was on duty, and Wei Bo walked out of the tent of the Chinese army with a happy face, making Xiang Zhuang very puzzled.

Just as Xiang Zhuang was thinking about why Wei Bo was so happy, Xiang Yu's voice came from inside the tent.

"The general on duty outside the account enters!"

Xiang Zhuang hurriedly dispelled the thoughts in his mind and entered the tent of the Chinese army commander.

"The last general of the Huben army is on duty at Xiangzhuang, waiting for the lord's order!" After Xiangzhuang entered, he said formally.

Seeing that Xiang Zhuang didn't call himself big brother like in the past, Xiang Yu was a little relieved that he had finally grown up.But at the same time, he was also a little bit disappointed, that in the future, his own brother would no longer be as close to him as he was when he was a child.
