Competing

Chapter 591
At dawn, the coalition forces of Han, Qi and Liang finally launched an attack.

The army of the Chu State has been disintegrated, and there are not a few people who have fled, so it is impossible to organize an effective resistance.The coalition forces were as powerful as a broken bamboo, and the Chu army was defeated in an instant...

Xiang Yu, escorted by his confidant generals and the remaining [-] soldiers, ran towards the bank of the Huai River.

The coalition forces headed by the army of Qi State led by Han Xin pursued closely, almost catching up.

But in this situation, those who can stay are definitely soldiers with high loyalty. After fighting hard, they protected the Overlord and fled south.

It was because of their persistence that Xiang Yu had the opportunity to see the waves of the Huai River.But at this time, the casualties of the Chu army were extremely heavy, and there were no less than a thousand people left.For the time being, it is rare to widen the gap with the Han army and gain a moment of peace.

After the bloody battle, the soldiers of the Chu army finally came to the bank of the Huai River. Although they were in a desperate situation, they were still able to enjoy themselves a bit.

But when I came to the water's edge, what I saw was not the rippling waves of the Huai River, but rows of knights with high morale.

That's right, on the banks of the Huai River, many horses stood neatly, with energetic cavalry on their backs.

Who is it?The soldiers of the Chu army who were in a panic were a little frightened.Could it be the cavalry arranged by Han Xin?If this is the case, Han Xin is really exhausted.All of them will die here tragically, and they can't help feeling sad about it.Seeing death as home is always relative. How many people can go to death without fear at all?
Just when he was curious, among the horses took the initiative to give way.

A small table had been set up on the bank of the Huai River, and a young man was sitting on the mat drinking, watching Xiang Yu wave his hand from afar.

A knight rode forward and said: "The King of Yue of our country invites the Overlord to come forward and say something."

This knight is none other than Su An, Su Bozhou, the great general of the Yue Kingdom.This Huainan battle is of great importance, and he came back to help Yin Xu.Moreover, it has become a habit for him to be the personal guard general of the King of Yue during all battles.

As for the knights on the shore, it goes without saying that they are the Royal Guards of the King of Yue.Ever since Yin Xu set foot on the land north of the Huai River to see Xiang Yu off, this safety issue has become very important.On the opposite side is Liu Bang's menacing 70 coalition army. If there is no absolute security guarantee, it will naturally not work.

In addition to Zhang Han mobilizing the regular army for protection, he also mobilized the King of Yue's guards. With the super combat power of the guards, they can completely withstand the enemy several times and cover the King of Yue's departure safely. This is reassuring.

After years of development, the number of guards has reached 5000, but today there are only 5000 by the river.In Yin Xu's view, these [-] people are enough.At the same time, it was also a demonstration to Liu Bang and Han Xin, so that they could see the power of Yue State.Of course, there must be a limit to demonstrations, and naturally they cannot expose their original strength.

Therefore, it is by the Huaishui River, and the boats are behind. Even if Liu Bang wants to do something to himself in spite of the world, the guards are enough to last for a while.It only takes a moment to board the boat, cross the Huai River, and return to the south of the Huai River.

Therefore, it is no longer a day or two for the State of Yue to control Huainan. A line of defense has been established on the Huai River, which is relatively strong.In order to guard against the Han army, this ship is a key factor, and it needs to be strictly controlled.Now on the Huai River, except for the Yue people themselves, it is difficult to find a few ferries.

The boats including the fishermen have been confiscated temporarily. Of course, the king of Yue is benevolent and has given some compensation.What's more, the expropriation is not permanent, and sooner or later they will be returned.

In this way, in addition to this, there are many Yue ships on the Huai River, and there are many sailors on board at any time, and they can support the north bank when necessary.

Zhang Han on the south bank also deployed tens of thousands of elites, who can advance, attack, retreat, or defend, for nothing else, the purpose is to cover Yue Wang Yinxu.

At the same time, Feiying mobilized all his strength to ensure that there would be no omissions in all aspects of information.

Yin Xu was even more certain, whether it was Liu Bang or Han Xin, even if they saw him sitting on the bank of the Huai River, they would not dare to act rashly.Therefore, the safety of King Yue is absolutely guaranteed. Under the protection of the army, Yin Xu set up a small table, drank a small amount of wine and waited until Xiang Yu arrived.

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

The Chu people were all stunned, they didn't expect to be from Yue.Immediately remembered that the place across the river has been occupied by the Yue Kingdom, it is not surprising that the King of Yue appeared here.But what is his purpose in coming?Looking at the red and panicked swords on the opposite side, the imposing cavalry, could it be that the side of the Han army also came to attack the Chu army?
What is the intention of inviting Bawang to the past now?Whether it is going to be bad for the Overlord, so the soldiers of the Chu army hesitated.

As soon as Xiang Yu moved, someone stopped him and said, "Overlord, don't trust me, don't be fooled."

Su An could see clearly and knew what the Chu people were worried about, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry about the Overlord, the King of Yue is just inviting an old friend to talk about it."

"Who will believe their nonsense?" Some generals wanted to continue talking, but Xiang Yu stopped them.

I saw Xiang Yu waved his hand and said, "Go over and have a look, everything will be fine."

At this time, death is already doomed. What is there to fear for a person who has calmly accepted the fact of life and death?If Yin Xu wanted to take action against the Chu army, he could just mobilize troops directly. With the size of the cavalry in front of him, it was enough to deal with him.What's more, he also wanted to meet Yin Xu to see what he was going to say?And I happened to have something to ask Yin Xu, so it was much better to explain it in person.

"Overlord..."

"fine……"

"How many more people will you bring?"

"No need!" Xiang Yu waved his hand, revealing a wry smile, if Yin Xu really has any changes, what's the use of these people?Anyway, being fearless at this time, it's better to be honest, on this point he is still willing to trust Yin Xu.

Seeing Xiang Yu approaching, Su An immediately rode his horse out of the way, and after Xiang Yu passed by, he still stood guard.

"Brother Xiang!" I haven't seen him for many years. When I saw Xiang Yu again, I found that his appearance and temperament had changed a lot.Yin Xu clearly understood that Xiang Yu no longer had the domineering and heroic spirit of the past, replaced by a lot of helplessness and depression... Xiang Yu also looked much older.

Thinking about Xiang Yu's age, he doesn't look like a 30-year-old at all now.It seems that the various failures over the years, especially these days, have caused a lot of pressure and blow to Xiang Yu.

Hearing Yin Xu's name, Xiang Yu looked Yin Xu up and down again, and Xiang Yu couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances!"

Yin Xu is still so young, still so high-spirited, with a heroic look in his eyes.The development of the Yue Kingdom in these years can be described as smooth sailing, but it is now powerful and one of the best in the world, and Yin Xu is full of confidence, who can compare with it?
"Are you surprised?" Xiang Yu was a little taken aback by Yin Xu's implication, looked at Yin Xu in surprise, and thought to himself: Did he expect such a result?

In fact, Yin Xu had roughly deduced the direction of the situation, and planned to talk to Xiang Yu early in the morning and see him off.But the location changed from Wujiang to Huaishui.

Xiang Yu was noncommittal, and said lightly: "It's a little unexpected, the change is too fast."

"The passage of time is just a matter of a moment, just get used to it!"

Changes can be good or bad, Yin Xu is thriving, he is used to it naturally, as for himself...

Xiang Yu felt sad, in fact, he had been used to failure for a long time.

"Sit!" Yin Xu waved his hand to invite Xiang Yu to sit down.

Xiang Yu was also polite and sat down immediately.

Yin Xu picked up the spoon and filled a glass of wine for Xiang Yu.

"Please!"

Without hesitation, Xiang Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it down with Yin Xu.

"Still so bold!"

Xiang Yu smiled wryly, but did not speak.

"The opposite is Xu/Yi, do you still remember that we used to drink like this?" Yin Xu suddenly pointed to the opposite bank of the Huai River, and said leisurely.

Only then did Xiang Yu raise his head and take a look. It used to be the temporary capital of Chu State, and that was also the time when his relationship with Yin Xu was the best.In the old days, they used to drink together often. At that time, they fought side by side, and their relationship seemed to be closer.But time has passed, and later there were many frictions and even hostility between each other, and the relationship is no longer what it used to be.

Therefore, when Yin Xu said it, it was inevitable to make people sigh.

Xiang Yu nodded lightly, did not speak, but looked up at Huai in silence, his eyes were quite complicated, as if he had remembered a lot.

After a long time, Xiang Yu withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "It's a pity, I can never go back!"

In a word, it is quite helpless and desolate, and Yin Xu can fully understand Xiang Yu's state of mind.

"Aren't you going to give yourself a chance?" Yin Xu asked softly.

Xiang Yu was slightly taken aback, heard Yin Xu's voice, shook his head lightly and said, "If it were you, would you?"

This is the best answer, Yin Xu raised his glass and said, "Please, give Brother Xiang a ride."

At this time, the two of them can be said to be completely tacit and frank. They understand each other and understand each other's meaning, and they speak more straightforwardly.

Xiang Yu smiled faintly: "Thank you! I'm glad you can come."

The life of a generation of heroes is about to come to an end. Many years later, there are poets who wrote: Life is a hero, and death is a ghost.Xiang Yu is exactly such a character...

"I want to ask you something!" Xiang Yu said after drinking three glasses of wine.

"whats the matter?"

Xiang Yu said: "Can I save my wife and children?"

Yin Xu looked up, and there was a child in Yu Ji's arms in the distance.

Xiang Yu's meaning couldn't be more obvious, Yin Xu pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Young Master Ling and my son Heng are about the same age, I think they will be good playmates in the future. As for Mrs. Sister-in-law, Xiang's residence in Kuaiji is still there."

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, Yin Xu was meticulous, so there was nothing to worry about.

Xiang Yu glanced back at his lovely wife and Aier, then smiled at Yin Xu and said, "Thank you very much!"

Yin Xu shook his head lightly and said: "The son of an old man, naturally treat him favorably!"

At this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes and footsteps sounded, and Han Xin's army finally arrived...
