Competing

Chapter 44
In one day, meeting two stunning beauties, such luck!

However, Yu Ji put all her heart on Xiang Yu, alas!Fortunately, there is Fan Yilan, who is even more beautiful than Yu Ji, otherwise it would be even more depressed.I just left in a hurry and didn't ask where the girl lives. What a mistake!
Forget it, let’s fill up our stomach first!Wouldn't this be the time to think about women.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the spring of the second year of Qin II. On this day, Yin Xu was practicing swords with Xiang Zhuang.

"It's only been a few months, and your entry is really fast!" Xiang Zhuang praised him with a lot of admiration and envy in his eyes.

Yin Xu laughed and said, "Thanks to Brother Zhuang for your guidance, otherwise, even if you practice for ten or eight years, you will still be the same."

Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said: "Oh, you are too modest in Donglai. Your talent is there. If you don't have this foundation, it will be useless to give you more advice."

Over the past few months, with Yin Xu's long-term qigong practice, the violent energy in his body was almost completely absorbed by fusion.With practice, Yin Xu's body became stronger and stronger as it gradually merged into the meridians of the limbs.Especially the physical strength, which was relatively inferior before, has been greatly improved.Coupled with the guidance of master Xiang Zhuang, Yin Xu's swordsmanship level has been greatly improved.

The two talked and laughed, wiped off their sweat, and drank tea at the gazebo beside them.At this time, a small soldier came in a hurry: "There is an urgent military situation. Marshal Xiang summoned the generals to discuss matters in the lobby. Please invite two school lieutenants to go."

Yin Xu and Xiang Zhuang glanced at each other, seeing that the matter was of great importance, they hurried over.Entering the lobby, all the senior generals under Xiang Liang's command were present, and a dignified atmosphere filled the entire lobby.

"Is everyone here?"

"Yes!"

"Everyone, take a look at this first!" Xiang Liang sat on the head seat and handed over a silk book for everyone to read.After listening to Gao Yi's explanation, Yin Xu realized that it was Chen Sheng's general Lu Chen who sent the edict. Zhang Chu Wang Chen Sheng canonized Xiang Liang as the Shangzhu Kingdom and ordered him to lead his army westward to fight against the Qin army.

Shangzhu State, the official position of Chu State, the supreme commander of the army!
Everyone saw the discussion, and a moment later someone got up and clasped his fists and said: "This is a happy event, my subordinates congratulate the Marshal for being appointed to the Shangzhu Kingdom."

There are not a few people who speak in favor of it.

Yin Xu wondered why Chen Sheng canonized Xiang Liang suddenly?Looking at Xiang Liang's frown, he knew that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, Xiang Liang took out another silk book and said: "This is a secret letter sent by Huan Chu from Jiangxi (north of the Yangtze River). Because Wu Guang could not attack Xingyang for a long time, King Chen sent General Zhou Wen to attack Hangu Pass by detour Caoyangting and Mianchi were defeated by Zhang Han successively. They were outnumbered and killed themselves. When Zhang Han's army arrived in Xingyang, Tian Zang said, "Fake Wang Jiao, who doesn't know military power, can't be compared with him, so he must be punished." Zhang Han will attack Chen County with all his strength."

Everyone knows that Chen County is where Chen Sheng is stationed.Yin Xu's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that Wu Guang died, and Chen Sheng's appointment might not last long.

Only Xiang Liang continued: "According to rumors, King Chen had no choice but to abandon Chendi and retreat to Chengfu. His life and death are unknown."

"What? Chen Sheng is dead?"

This news was like a thunderclap on the ground, causing an uproar in the hall.Yin Xu knew well that Xiang Liang's words were just 'according to reports' and 'life or death is unknown', that is, the news was still uncertain, but he already knew from his brother that Chen Sheng was indeed dead, at the hands of his coachman Zhuang Jia.

Yin Xu glanced over, and only Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu, and Ying Bu remained absolutely calm among the people in the room.As for others such as Ji Bu, Long Qie and other fierce generals, they couldn't help being agitated.What Yin Xu is most interested in is Xiang Yu. According to historical records, Xiang Yu is self-righteous and self-righteous, but after half a year of contact, he doesn't think so.

In Yin Xu's eyes, Xiang Yu's self-confidence today is not fake, but not to the point of conceit.On the contrary, it is good to be calm and steady in doing things, and you will still listen to other people's good opinions.Therefore, Yin Xu has a new understanding of Xiang Yu's evaluation.

"Not only that, because the life and death of King Chen is unknown, Qin Jia established himself as the great Sima in Pengcheng, and supported Jing Ju, a nobleman from the Chu Kingdom, as the king of Chu. Please come here to discuss, what should we do?"

The debater Lin He said: "Whether King Chen is really dead still needs to be verified. Now there are nothing more than two points to consider. One is whether the general accepts the appointment of Shangzhu Kingdom? The other is how Jing Ju and Qin Jia should treat them. "

Long Qi took the lead and said: "General, let's not talk about anything else, what you did in Shangzhu Kingdom is well deserved! You should attack Jing Ju immediately."

Lin He said with a smile: "I agree with what Lieutenant Long said. As for attacking Jing Ju and Qin Jia, I am still not in a hurry. The life and death of King Chen is still unclear. The most urgent thing is to fight against the Qin army together."

Long Qi, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi, Zhong Limei, Ying Bu, Yin Xu, and Wu Chen are all serving as captains at this time.

Xiang Liang's eyes fell on Fan Zeng unconsciously. The opinion of the first counselor was very important.

Fan Zeng stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, "I don't know about this matter, what do Ying Bu and Yin Xu think about it?"

Yin Xu and Ying Bo looked at each other in astonishment, what kind of tricks is Fan Zeng doing?Come and ask me for my opinion.

Ying Bu said: "General, your father Xiang Yan is the general of our Chu State. The general is worthy of the post of Shangzhu State. He can change his name and lead the rebel army in Chu to fight against the Qin army."

"En!" Fan Zeng nodded, his eyes fell on Yin Xu, and he asked, "What do Captain Yin think of Jing Ju and Qin Jia?"

Fan Zeng's deep eyes were very stressful, Yin Xu pondered for a moment and said: "I have a slightly different opinion from Mr. Lin He. I think Jing Ju and Qin Jia should be defeated quickly."

Lin He is a debater in Kuaiji, and he belonged to Fuxiang Liang last year.Yin Xu has no impression of this person. It seems that there is no such person in history, and he presumably is just an unknown person.

"Oh?" Lin He asked with great interest, "Why does Colonel Yin think so?"

Yin Xu analyzed: "The life and death of King Chen has not yet been clarified, Jing Ju, Qin Jia and others are eager to make a move and establish themselves as kings. They don't know that the anti-Qin cause was defeated by people like them. Now that the Qin army is powerful, all the rebels are rightly united. Twist into a rope, and fight against the enemy together."

"But what about the current situation? Many generals sent by King Chen to various places have different ideas, and they are vying to be king, and the rebel army is openly divided. For example, the military officials who marched to the north established themselves as the king of Zhao and transformed into the leader of the separatist regime. His general Han Guang was in After conquering the land of Yan, he also established himself as the king of Yan. Although Zhou Shi, who captured the old land of the Wei state, did not make himself king, he made Wei Jiu, the descendant of the Wei state, Ningling Lord, as the king, and appointed himself the minister of Wei to protect himself. Most of the heroes did not listen to Chen Sheng's restraint, and they fought on their own, which gave the Qin army a chance to counterattack, which led to today's situation."

Lin He said: "Then we openly waged war with Qin Jia, how is it different from the separatist princes?"

Yin Xu retorted: "No! In the current situation, someone needs to stand up and gather various forces of rebels, instead of continuing to fight on their own. Jing Ju, Qin Jia and others are not enough to take on this important task, and General Xiang The son of General Xiang Yan, with this prestige and strength, is right to turn the tide and correct people's hearts."

Fan Zeng nodded in satisfaction, and Xiang Yu also looked over there with admiration in his eyes.

Xiang Liang said: "So, should we send troops to attack?"

"Exactly!" Many people agreed and echoed.

Xiang Liang said: "Then who should lead the army in this battle?"

Xiang Yu's eyes showed yearning, and he was about to get up to challenge, but was interrupted by Fan Zeng: "This old man thought that Marshal Xiang of the Shangzhu Kingdom should go there in person, and use his reputation as a marshal to frighten Xiaoxiao people."

Xiang Yu sat down slowly without any dissatisfaction, and asked, "Then, who should accompany uncle?"

Long Qie, who was sitting at the bottom, suddenly rushed out and said, "The two lieutenants Ying Bu and Yin Xu are very famous in fighting against the Qin army in Peng Lize. The last general suggested that they should accompany the marshal to go." Immediately, he glanced at Yin Xu and whispered Said: "Let's see if some people are worthy of their names, or are they in vain?"

Yin Xu and Ying Bu exchanged glances, and they stood up and went out together: "The final general is willing to go out with the marshal and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"

"Okay!" Xiang Liang said loudly: "If that's the case, the two of you will accompany me, Ji'er and Mr. Fan will stay in Kuaiji, and Ji Bu and Zhong Limei will be responsible for the food delivery!"

"promise!"

Everyone responded with a loud bang, Yin Xu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Long Qie, and said in his heart: Thank you for the good opportunity!
