After a crisp sound, a brand new clay cup was crushed and shattered, and then blood dripped from a wide and powerful palm.

In the main hall of the Xichu King's Palace, you can hear the quietness of needle dropping, which makes people's hearts tremble.The blood dripped down and hit people's hearts, making the atmosphere more dignified.

The blood was still flowing from his hand, Xiang Yu didn't notice it, he didn't feel the pain at all, and his gloomy face was even more terrifying.

The courtiers and generals of the Western Chu Kingdom could clearly feel the Overlord's anger, and at the same time, all of them were grieved and sad.

Just now there is a news report: Chu's army to aid Qi was wiped out, General Long Qie and Xiang Sheng both died in battle.

The dragon is dead, the great Sima of the Western Chu Kingdom, the number one general under the command of the Overlord of Chu, was beheaded by Guan Ying by the Weishui River.Xiang Sheng, brother of the overlord of Chu, was also beheaded by Li Zuoche's troops. In fact, he was killed by Han Xin's scheme.

What's more serious is that all the [-] elite Chu troops were lost in Qi, and the Western Chu Kingdom suffered unprecedented losses.

When the news came, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was extremely furious, and his courtiers were also gloomy and sad.

"How did Long Qie die?" Xiang Yu asked in a deep voice, his words revealed a lot of unwillingness and anger, Long Qie was the number one general under his command, brave and good at fighting.Even if it was defeated, it would not be so tragic that the entire army was wiped out, and even Long Qie himself was involved.For such a result, Xiang Yu couldn't believe it.

"Han Xin pretended to be defeated and lured General Longqie to pursue and kill him. On the other side of the Weishui River, tens of thousands of Guan Ying's men were in ambush. General Longqie led only a few thousand people to pursue and kill him, and fell into a tight siege. Waiting for General Xiang Sheng to rush to support At that time, the water in Wei was so high that it was impossible to cross the river.

It was later learned that the Han army built a dam upstream to block the water earlier, and after the General Long was lured to cross the river, he broke the embankment and released the water to block the reinforcements!I was watching General Longqie being killed, but I was helpless..."

The one who answered the question was a survivor who had fled from the front line. Speaking of the tragic situation at that time, the soldier was in tears.

"When we were all paying attention to General Long, Han Xin attacked from behind again. He was unprepared and suffered heavy casualties. General Xiang Sheng also... Overlord, the two generals and brothers all died terribly. Please Overlord must avenge them!"

A few sentences have already described the original situation in a simple and reasonable manner. Everyone has basically figured out the ins and outs, and they can imagine how tragic the situation was at that time.

"Han Xin, you bullied me too much!" Xiang Yu gritted his teeth. Long Qi was the first general to raise troops with him, and he has made a lot of contributions to the Western Chu Kingdom over the years.And the relationship between Xiang Yu and Long Qie is also very good, and now Long Qie is just dead.And Xiang Sheng was a member of the Xiang clan, so Xiang Yu was naturally very sad.In addition to the [-] elites, the [-] troops are still crucial when the Western Chu Kingdom is at such a disadvantage.

Such a loss undoubtedly made the situation in Western Chu State even worse. While Xiang Yu was heartbroken, he hated Han Xin even more.

Fan Zeng closed his eyes gently. To be honest, he was worried that Long Qie would lose, and he might not be able to take advantage of Han Xin.But the purpose was just to beat Han Xin, he didn't need the dragon and had further victories, so he was sent there.If you lose, just retreat with your whole body.These days, Fan Yafu has been waiting for news from Qidi, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was... let alone that the consequences would be so serious that none of them would come back...

Fan Yafu knew very well that Han Xin's strategy was superb, but the defeat in this battle was largely caused by Long Qie and Xiang Sheng's impatience.Speaking of it, I have to blame myself. I have noticed this at the beginning. Although I have asked Long Qi a lot, it has not actually played the slightest role.Now think about it, who can beat Han Xin except Xiang Yu?Why was Long Qi selected at that time? If the main general of this battle had been replaced by the prudent Yu Ziqi, there would not have been such a disastrous defeat.

Fan Yafu was in a state of deep self-blame and worry. The situation in Western Chu State was getting worse and worse, and his health was also getting worse.

The soldiers who got back from the front line said: revenge for the two generals and brothers ignited the anger of the king and ministers of Chu State, and many people also participated in this call.

There were already people clamoring to avenge Long Qie and Xiang Sheng. This kind of clamor continued to rise, and it seemed to be the common aspiration of the subjects of Chu State.

But there were still many people who did not move. Yu Ziqi stood there silently. He was also very sad about the death of Long Qi and Xiang Sheng, and Wei Shui's fiasco.But he has always been very sensible, revenge is not necessarily necessary, but is it appropriate to send troops to revenge now?

There is Liu Bang staring at the back of Chu State, if the hatred gets carried away now, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.The key lies in what the Overlord of Chu thinks.Yu Ziqi Ende's eyes fell on Xiang Yu, seeing that Xiang Yu was full of anger, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.It can be imagined that Xiang Yu also had such thoughts. He also wanted to send troops for revenge, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

However, there were constant calls for revenge, and those people had to think more and weigh the pros and cons.If this continues, there is no guarantee that Xiang Yu will not be shaken... Yu Ziqi is worried. The only person who can stop Xiang Yu at this time is his father, Fan Zeng.

Seeing this, Fan Zeng couldn't help feeling very anxious. He knew that Xiang Yu only had anger and hatred in his heart now, and he might do something stupid on impulse.The state of Chu had just suffered heavy losses, and it would be good to take revenge if it was on a normal day.But now we must first consider the Xingyang front line behind us. Liu Bang and Han Xin go east and west, and if they are not careful, they will be lost forever.

Xiang Yu's irritable personality has changed a lot over the years, but this time Long Qi's incident stimulated him too much, there is no guarantee that he will not... Fan Zeng was very anxious.At this moment, it is impossible to stop it. In front of so many people in the court, some things cannot be stated clearly.Seeing that Xiang Yu was about to open his mouth, Fan Yafu stood up suddenly in a hurry, who would have thought that he could not stand still, fell to the ground, and then fell unconscious.

"Yafu..." Xiang Yu grew taller, and rushed forward with one stride...

"Yafu, what's wrong with you..."

"Quick, hurry up and call the doctor..."

The main hall was suddenly in chaos. The death of Long Qi and the defeat of the Chu army had already made people in the Chu country panic. Now that Fan Yafu suddenly fell ill again, it made people feel more ominous.The matter of sending troops to revenge has been put on hold for the time being, and Fan Yafu's health is also unknown. Many officials and future officials gathered in the palace of Chu Palace, waiting for news.

It’s true that blessings and misfortunes never come singly, Fan Zeng was still unconscious, Xiang Yu stood at the door waiting for the results of the doctor’s diagnosis, feeling extremely heavy...
