Chapter 116: Young Xiang Yu
At this moment, Zhu Ying was already in the Hucheng Governor's Mansion, and after the Chu army withdrew from Surabaya County, Zhu Ying led the army straight to Hucheng, during which Zhu Ying had not yet met Chun Shenjun.
"Mr. Lao has been running repeatedly, I am afraid that the Wu army will attack my Hucheng in a few days, and now my Hucheng has gathered 200,000 elite soldiers, if the Wu army comes to attack, it will be determined that the Wu army will not return" Xiang Liang saw Zhu Ying lead the army back, and he had no doubts in his heart, and said to Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying saw that Xiang Liang was excited at the moment, and the wisp of resentment in his heart due to the withdrawal of the army suddenly dissipated a little, Zhu Ying is also a decisive person, now that he has returned with the army, it is important to hold Hucheng now, Zhu Ying then said, "Zhu Ying, as a Chu person, wants to protect my Chu land from loss, General Xiang does not need to be like this, but he heard the battle of Shencheng in the next, but it was a change in vain, and he did not go into detail about it in the next, I don't know if the general can talk to him below"
Xiang Liang heard Zhu Ying ask about this, and immediately showed a bitter look, Xiang Liang didn't know anything about the sudden pink mist, and said helplessly at the moment, "It's not that Ben Jiang doesn't want to tell, but Ben Jiang doesn't know anything about the reason."
Zhu Ying saw that the change in Shencheng was mentioned in the king's handbook, but it was vague, Zhu Ying only said that the king did not have time to explain, and at this moment he saw that Xiang Liang was also confused about the changes here, Zhu Ying couldn't help but be surprised, and then said, "If this is the case, if the Wu army attacks Hucheng, the general can't know, and the mysterious strong man will help again."
When Xiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the pink mist can make the soldier saint Sun Wu stop, and the divine power cultivation of the person who came was afraid that it would not be under Sun Wu, if he got the help of this person, Wu Jun would not be able to occupy Chu land in the slightest, but for this mysterious powerhouse, the Chu army was confused, but it was a pity, Xiang Liang said bitterly, "What Mr. said is true, and now I can only hope that this person can help again when Wu Jun attacks me"
When Zhu Ying saw Xiang Liang's appearance, he also sighed in his heart, and then asked again, "I don't know if the general's injury has healed at this moment" In Meng Weijun's biography, Xiang Yan's divine power has not been damaged with the help of a mysterious strongman, so Zhu Ying will have this question.
Xiang Liang heard Zhu Ying's question, and sighed secretly, "Although my father is helped by a mysterious and strong man, after repeatedly using the power of the poor, his cultivation has not fallen into the realm of manifestation, but the injury suffered by Chen Cheng in the first battle has been aggravated a few points, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the battlefield again recently."
Zhu Ying heard that the general could no longer go to the battlefield, and did not ask any more questions, according to Xiang Liangzhu's meaning, now the Chu army has no advantage in the battle against the Wu army in addition to occupying the advantage of troops, Zhu Ying secretly thought about it, and knew that if the Wu army attacked, I was afraid that the outcome would be unpredictable.
And between Zhu Ying and Xiang Liang discussing, Chun Shenjun sent a handwritten letter, and Xiang Liang couldn't help but look a little dignified when he looked at it.
Zhu Ying saw Xiang Liang looking at the book in Junshang's hand, his expression suddenly became worried, and he immediately asked, "But something has changed here."
When Xiang Liang heard this, he immediately sighed, and said with a rather depressed look, "I don't want Wu to increase the number of troops to Chu by 100,000, and now that Shangjun Wu Guang is also in Shencheng, the king came to the letter with the intention of ordering our army to retreat to Chencheng."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying's heart couldn't help but darken, knowing that the Chu army had no advantage in this battle, if the mysterious strong man no longer came out to help, it was expected that this battle would be defeated
He said, "If what the king says is true, I think we should act according to the king's will."
Xiang Liang knew that in the face of 200,000 Wu troops and tiger wolf cavalry attacking, there was an advantage of garrisoning the city, with the morale of the Chu army now, there was no chance of winning this battle, but Xiang Liang knew that retreating to Chen Cheng was only an expedient measure, and the Wu army would not stop there, if the Wu army attacked all the way, wouldn't the army have to retreat to Yingdu, so that the Chu army recently recaptured the land of the four cities, and give hands to each other, thinking of this, how can Xiang Liang be willing in his heart. At that moment, he said bluntly, "Mr. thinks that if our army retreats to Chencheng, what will happen to the Wu army?"
When Zhu Ying heard Xiang Liang's words, he also sighed in his heart, knowing that what Xiang Liang said was true, if he retreated to Chencheng, Wu Jun would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and for a while, Zhu Ying was at a loss in the face of the current situation.
Just as Xiang Liang and Zhu Ying were speechless, General Xiang Yan stepped into the antechamber of the governor's mansion with the support of a young man who was far taller than his peers.
Xiang Liang and Zhu Ying saw Xiang Yan coming, and they both bowed their hands and said, "Meet the general, the general has not recovered yet, and the matter of defending the city can be left to me."
Xiang Yan heard that the two of them were about to speak, and they didn't want to let out a few low coughs, which showed that Xiang Yan was extremely seriously injured, and seeing this, Xiang Liang and the two of them were ashamed in their hearts, and the general could not have a moment of peace while recuperating from his injuries, but he and others did not have the ability to resist foreign enemies.
"This seat is fine, I expect that the Wu army will attack again in the near future, you can have a strategy to retreat from the enemy" Xiang Yan saw that the two of them were bitter at the moment, and asked, and Xiang Yan coughed a few times.
Xiang Liang immediately said, "Yu'er, help your grandfather sit down" to support Xiang Yan's young man, it is Xiang Yan's eldest grandson Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu's father Xiang Chao is Xiang Yan's eldest son, and Xiang Liang's eldest brother, Xiang Chao was killed in the war between Chu and Jin in the past, so Xiang Yu has followed his grandfather Xiang Yan since he was a child, so he has a very deep relationship with Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yu heard his uncle's words, and immediately helped Xiang Yan to sit down, and saw that his uncle looked anxious at the moment, and said to Xiang Yan, "Grandfather, don't worry, the matter of defending the city has its own uncle's deployment, if the Wu army comes to attack, it is expected that our army will be able to defeat the Wu army" Xiang Yu's voice was like a flood, but it was not like a young man who was only twelve years old.
On the side, Zhu Ying saw that the young man was very burly, and his bearing was also extraordinary, and he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, hearing Xiang Liang's words, Zhu Ying knew that the young man should be the general's eldest grandson Xiang Yu Undoubtedly, it is often heard that the general's eldest grandson was born with great strength, and now his cultivation is about to enter the realm of hemolysis, and today he is indeed the best among the scholars of the same generation.
Xiang Yan heard the young man's words, and his originally constricted brows stretched a little, and he couldn't help but slap the young man's hands, saying, "God has finally treated my Xiang clan well" Xiang Yan said to Xiang Liang again, "Recently, the Wu army has moved."
Xiang Liang heard Xiang Yan asking, and glanced at Zhu Ying again, and then said, "The king has ordered someone to send a letter, I don't want to send 100,000 troops to Shencheng at this moment, and the king's letter has the intention of ordering the army to retreat to Chencheng."
Hearing this, Xiang Yandun coughed a few more times, and saw that Zhu Ying, a guest of Chunshen Jun, was also sad at the moment, so he said, "In this way, our army has no worries about the number of people, and the Wu army has tigers and wolves riding from the side, and it is unreasonable for the king to worry, but it is a pity that after the war bear guard of my Chu country entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge with the first king, there was no news, if the war bear guard is still there, why is my Chu country like this" Thinking of Chu country
The first king and the war bear Wei Xiang Yan couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and there was also a meaning in their words that the Chu State was now green and yellow.
Seeing that Xiang Liang and Zhu Ying heard Xiang Yan's words, they both had a bitter look, but they didn't say anything
Xiang Yan saw that the two of them were speechless, knowing that the two of them had no way to deal with the situation here, and sighed in his heart, and in a moment of thought, Xiang Yan straightened up and said to Zhu Ying, "Please also ask Mr. to return to the king, this battle my Chu State must not retreat." Xiang Yan knew that if the battle retreated, the Chu army was only afraid that it would not be able to defeat the heart of the Wu State, and Xiang Yan knew that it would be difficult to cultivate the divine power after that, and every day that passed, the combat power of the Chu army would be consumed by a point, and he would commit another offense against the Wu army, and no one in the Chu army was Sun Wu's opponent, so Xiang Yan had already given birth to the intention of fighting with his life, even if he was on the spot in this battle, Xiang Yan also had to defend the Wu army, only in this way would the Chu army not lose the heart of victory, and the Chu country would have a future at all.
Xiang Liang saw that his father was resolute at the moment, and he didn't dare to refute it, Zhu Ying saw that Xiang Liang was quite complicated, but he didn't speak, and immediately said, "The general's order, the minister does not dare to disobey, but the minister thinks that our army has no chance of winning this battle, why not lead the army to retreat to Chencheng and then make plans, I think that the king is also planning at the moment, and I hope the general will think twice."
Xiang Yan knew that Zhu Ying's words were true, Chun Shenjun must be planning for this battle at the moment, but Xiang Yan's current body can't wait long, once Xiang Yan falls, who in the Chu army can shoulder the position of the commander, thinking of this, Xiang Yan said with a resolute expression, "Sir, there is no need to say more, this battle will be on the battlefield in person, and this seat will swear to protect Hu City from loss."
As soon as Xiang Yan's voice fell, the young Xiang Yu actually said loudly, "Yu also wants to follow his grandfather to the battlefield, and I hope that my grandfather will agree."
Xiang Liang heard that his father wanted to go to the battlefield again, and his heart was in a hurry, and when he heard Xiang Yu's words, he immediately said, "Nonsense, Yu'er's matter here, how can Xiao'er be allowed to speak" Then Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yan again, and said, "My father is seriously injured now, how can I fight again, why don't I listen to the words of the king, retreat to Chencheng, wait for my father to take care of his body, and then fight with Wu Jun"
Xiang Yan heard Xiang Liang's words, but did not answer as if he turned a deaf ear, but looked at the young Xiang Yu and said, "Yu'er really wants to follow her grandfather to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
When the young man heard his grandfather's words, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand to Xiang Yan and said, "Yu'er's wish, I hope that my grandfather will agree, Yu'er, as a descendant of the Xiang family, cannot be left behind."
Hearing the young man's words, Xiang Yan was very relieved, looked at the young man and nodded, "Okay, so my grandfather will give you the ancestral overlord halberd of my Xiang family, and Yu'er will definitely replace my grandfather in the future to protect the mountains and rivers of my Chu country."
Xiang Yu heard Xiang Yan's words, so he was overjoyed and said, "Grandfather, rest assured, Yu'er will not live up to grandfather's high expectations" Xiang Yu was young after all, and he didn't hear the meaning of Xiang Yan's words.
When Xiang Liang and Zhu Ying heard Xiang Yan's words, how could they not know that Xiang Yan had already given birth to the heart of fighting to the death, and both of them were suddenly sad in their hearts, and they were about to persuade each other.
"Xiang Liang Ru is going to deploy the garrison in the city, and order the three armies not to relax in the slightest in the near future, Zhu Yingru quickly replied to the king, and you and the others should retreat" Xiang Yan saw that Xiang Liang and the two wanted to speak again, and immediately spoke again.
Xiang Liang and Zhu Ying were full of mixed feelings at the moment, seeing that Xiang Yan didn't want to say anything more, after looking at each other, they couldn't help but sigh secretly and silently withdrew from the governor's mansion.
