"What a pseudo-king Jingju and a pseudo-commander Yin Qinjia dare to take advantage of the fire to rob and ask us to surrender to him? What wishful thinking! ”

At the same time, Xiapi Town, Donghai County (Gupi Town, Suining County, Jiangsu Province), a county temple occupied by the "Chu Army", looked like a tiger's head and swallow's forehead, and Xiang Sheng, who looked a little similar to Xiang Yu, was furious.

He tore up the letters sent by Jing Ju, the "King of Western Chu", and Qin Jia, the "Ling Yin", and pointed to the messenger outside the hall:

"Drag it down, cut it!"

"Quietly, quietly."

Xiang Tang (Xiang Bo) on the side hurriedly stopped Xiang Sheng and dissuaded: "The two countries are fighting each other, don't kill the envoys......"

Xiang Sheng was even more angry: "Cousin, I'm afraid you're confused, in this world, only my Xiang clan is the only one who is supported, and the Great Chu in Shouchun Dingdu is orthodox, and the others are all hypocrisy, where can the two countries fight each other?" ”

He is a disciple of the Xiang family, and he is also the person who fled back to the family with Xiang Yan's head in the decisive battle between Wang Jian and Xiang Yan more than ten years ago, and has an unforgettable hatred for the Qin Dynasty.

A few years ago, the Xiang family was confiscated by the government, and the children of the family were scattered everywhere, but Xiang Sheng hid in the mountains and forests, and together with Xiang Yan's third son Xiang Xiang, he attracted his children and old bureaucrats, and gradually became the climate.

At the end of April this year, when he learned that Xiang Ji raised troops in Chaohu and besieged Shouchun with Huainan heroes, Xiang Sheng couldn't bear it anymore and immediately responded. The next prime minister was the fief of the Xiang family, they were deeply rooted in the local area, and easily seized the county seat, and then seized Ling County in the south, and took Siwu in the north......

Located at the intersection of Surabaya and Yishui, Xiapi is the main road between Huaisi and Huaisi, and it is also the only way to Tancheng, the capital of Donghai County, and Pengcheng, the capital of Surabaya County.

A rebellion has also broken out here, and the masterminds are Zhang Liang, a Korean nobleman hiding here, and Xiang Yan's young son Xiang Tang.

In mid-May, the two armies converged, and there were already 3,000 people, Zhang Liang then offered advice: "First conquer Huaiyin in the south, welcome the young general, and then call on the heroes of Chu, take Pengcheng in the west, take Tan County in the north, then the East China Sea, Surabaya can be obtained, and send a general to take Langya and Xue County, and Litian is the king of Qi, then the Qi earth will shake, and the power of Qi Chu will be combined, and the west will be conquered to destroy the tyrannical Qin!" ”

Similar to Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang also believed that he could not rush into the Central Plains to attract the main force of the Qin court, but should take advantage of the confrontation between the Qin army and Heifu in Nanyang and seize the time to develop in the corners.

Unlike Fan Zeng, who was only dedicated to the state of Chu, Zhang Liangxin wanted to restore Korea, so in addition to going out of the land, he also advocated mobilizing the remnants of the other five countries.

History proves that any country that clashes with Qin is bound to lose, and it must gather the strength of the six countries, and the wave of restoration should be brought from Chu to Qi, then to Zhao Weiyan, and finally to his hometown, Korea......

Only in this way can you win!

In the midst of strategizing, winning thousands of miles away is Zhang Liang's ability.

But this plan was ruined by Qin Jia, who raised troops at the same time.

Qin Jia is a heroic hero of Ling County, originally after the Qin family, the doctor of the Lu State, after the Chu State destroyed Lu, he moved to Donghai County, and his reputation in the East China Sea and Surabaya is very high.

A few years ago, the Xiang family and other big nobles were attacked by the imperial court and were unlucky, but Qin Jia and other small nobles took the opportunity to develop.

In the same April and May, Qin Jia and his friends Dong Xuan, Fu Liren Zhu Jishi, Zheng Bu, Xu people Ding Ji and other local light heroes, also took action, each occupied the county of his hometown, and joined forces to attack Pengcheng (Xuzhou City, Jiangsu) with five or six thousand people.

In mid-May, the coalition army captured Pengcheng, I don't know if they didn't receive the news of Huainan's "restoration of Chu", or if they had other plans, they openly supported the old Chu nobleman Jingju as the king of Chu!

At this time, there was a situation in the anti-Qin team, the two Chu kings stood side by side, because Pengcheng geographically belonged to Western Chu, so it was called "Western Chu King", and Shouchun belonged to Southern Chu, so it was called "Southern Chu King".

The two Chu stand side by side, both think that they are orthodox, and the hatred of heresy is greater than that of paganism......

Not only that, just as the two sides were confronting, the Donghai County Guard had sent county soldiers and began to quell the rebellion, he swept away the rebels in the northern counties of Donghai County, and after receiving the support of Langya County, he commanded 5,000 troops, and the soldiers were in Xiapi! They camped eight miles north of the city.

Three thousand against five thousand, if it is an ordinary battle, the number of people on both sides is not much different, and Xiang Sheng is not afraid.

But at this time, Jing Ju and Qin Jia also sent 4,000 people to the other side of Surabaya, looking at it from afar, quite like watching the fire from the other side.

Xiang Sheng didn't dare to rush out of the city, he thought, even if he was outnumbered and repelled the Qin army, the empty Xiapi was obtained by Qin Jia, wouldn't he make a wedding dress for people?

In this way, the Qin army, Southern Chu, and Western Chu faced off in Xiapi for a day, and no one dared to act rashly, and no one was willing to retreat.

The first to take action was Qin Jia, who was under the banner of "support", but wrote a letter to ask the Xiang brothers in Xiapi to open the door and submit to "Western Chu", which led to the fact that Xiang wanted to kill the messenger.

Xiang Tang didn't want the two sides to completely tear their faces at this time, so he stopped the furious Xiang Sheng: "If you want to behead, it will take a few days, wait for my nephew Xiang Ji to come to the aid with a large army!" ”

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Zhang Liang: "Ovary, you can also say a few words!" ”

Zhang Liang, who had been silent, raised his head, a little helpless.

The high-spirited Xinzheng boy in the past inherited the handsome appearance of the family, quite like a woman.

Now, in order to assassinate Qin and restore the country, he has been running for 20 years, and he is over forty years old, with many forehead lines on his forehead, and his sideburns are premature.

Zhang Liang experienced the nightmarish ten years of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, and knew that although the Six Kingdoms wanted to join forces to resist Qin several times, they were ultimately ruined by mutual distrust.

I thought that with the painful experience of destroying the country, the people of the six countries would learn some lessons, but unexpectedly, let alone country to country, even within the Chu people, in order to fight for a "legitimacy", they were divided into two states as soon as they started their army.

Jing Ju is a great nobleman of Sanlu in the Chu State, and he does not agree with the wild child that Xiang picked up from elsewhere to be called the king of Chu.

The people of the Xiang family have regarded the newly restored Huainan Chu Kingdom as their own, and they will not bow to Jingju and Qin Jia.

Zhang Liang said secretly: "The people with lofty ideals who oppose Qin in the world should be a family, fighting against the tyrannical Qin, but now for the sake of a king, the brothers are on the wall, and they have wasted more than a month of time in vain, and the situation is good, and now they are even more ignorant of the strong enemy on the side, and the tigers and wolves are fed, and they want to ......fight inwardly."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang began to feel that his deduction of the future situation was too optimistic.

At present, Xiang is asking for help, not only to stop the impulsive Xiang Sheng, but also to hope that Zhang Liang can come up with a clever plan to relieve Xiapi's predicament......

So Zhang Liang got up, straightened his cuffs, and said:

"Send me across Surabaya."

Xiang Sheng glared at him: "You want to run?" ”

"It's not running."

Zhang Liang showed a subtle smile: "I'm going to tell Qin Jia, just say that Xiapi is willing to sacrifice the city and return to the king of Western Chu!" ”

"What!?"

Xiang Sheng was furious: "You Korean, you want us to join the enemy? ”

"The enemy is Qin Ting, and it may be Heifu's Northern Expeditionary Army in the future!"

But Zhang Liang didn't say this sentence, Chu people are famous for liking infighting, the Spring and Autumn Period killed thirty-six monarchs, Chu accounted for the fourth, until the eve of the death of the country, Chun Shenjun, Li Yuan, and Negative Warriors were still fighting endlessly, and it was useless to persuade them.

But Xiang Tang reacted:

"Ovary, is this a ploy?"

"Yes." Zhang Liang's words are concise and to the point.

"I will ask to see Qin Jia, and say that Xia Pi is willing to work together to fight against the Qin army, and I will dedicate this city afterwards, and ask him to cross Surabaya first!"

"Qin Jia only has two choices, to cross, or not to cross."

Xiang Sheng said coldly: "What will happen if he doesn't cross?" ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "I have seen Qin Jia, who is an arrogant county tyrant, who is not easily submissive, and at the same time has an excellent face. He calls himself Xichu Ling Yin, if he doesn't cross, he will be cowardly, he will be despised by his subordinates, and he will not dare to take the city that is sent to his mouth, who will be willing to obey him in the future? ”

"What if he crosses?" Xiang Tao asked.

Zhang Liang said: "If Qin Jia is moved by me and agrees to cross the river, the choice will be in the hands of the county lieutenant of Qin Donghai." ”

"The Lieutenant of the East Sea also has only two choices, to hit, or not to hit."

"If you take the risk to attack half-crossing, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"If you don't attack, the Qin army can only retreat, because he can't be sure if we are really joining forces......"

"So, there is at least a fifty percent chance that the siege of Pi can be lifted."

Xiang Tang was a little worried: "What if you guessed wrong?"

Zhang Liang had already stepped out of the door with one foot, turned around and smiled: "In that case, it's just a little delay." The tripartite confrontation is like a dead knot in this regard, and if it can't be untied anyway, then it can't be untied, and dragging it out is actually beneficial to us. ”

He turned his head to look at the stratus clouds in the sky of Xiapi.

"Because of the calculation of time, Major General Xiang Ji has crossed the Huaishui three days ago, if it is fast, its forward will be approached today!"

……

Before Zhang Liang could leave Xiapi City, the Qin army array eight miles north of the city, the scout hurriedly reported to the lieutenant of Donghai County:

"County Lieutenant, a chariot has come from the northeast, and it is approaching the rear of our army, and it has reached five miles away!"

The lieutenant of Donghai was very surprised: "Northeast? Isn't that the direction our army is coming from? ”

Knowing that the southern part of Donghai County was all against him, he wanted to go south to quell the rebellion, but he was unexpectedly blocked by Xiapi, and the thieves of Xiapi and Pengcheng were on both sides of Surabaya, and they were horns for each other, and it was a little difficult to start.

Therefore, the county lieutenant has been hesitating between fighting or not, and has also widely distributed scouts, strengthened the vigilance in the southeast direction, and guarded against the approaching reinforcements of Chu thieves.

Now the south is safe and sound, but there are enemy troops coming from the northeast, what a strange thing!

Deliberately taking a long detour to avoid scouts? Still is......

The lieutenant of Donghai County was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked:

"Where's the quantity?"

The scout said: "The car riders are added together, less than three hundred, one color of red costume, the other generation is extremely fast, it seems that he does not plan to stop......"

"Three hundred people dare to rush to the formation of five thousand?"

The lieutenants and commanders of Donghai County were stunned and asked, "Who is the banner?" ”

The scout didn't have to answer, because in the distance on the horizon, that banner had already appeared in the Qin army's field of vision!

A touch of red, follow the wind, hunt forward!

The book on the flag is the ancient characters of the Chu State:

"Item!"

It is also a ride of red dust, from the armor to the big one, all of them are red like fire, only sitting on the horse black divine horse, carrying the horseman, with three hundred carts behind him, rushing down the hills, holding a halberd, and killing towards the Qin array!
