Chapter 77 The multi-headed Chu army and Chu Zheng.
The defeat of Yaoguan and the battle of Hangu Pass were five wins and four losses. The news spread, and the anti-Qin forces in Shandong fell into a trough.
At this time, the main force of the Chu army is the biggest support. Xiang Yu was stationed in Shaanxi County, and the restored princes were immediately scattered.
The anti-Qin forces in Shaanxi County were panicked. The attitude of the upper echelons wavered day and night, and there was no one who was full of momentum when the Chu army was like a rainbow.
The six Kwantung countries are even more wait-and-see, and there is a great tendency to withdraw their troops and return to China.
……
Pengcheng.
In the middle of the day, the henchmen hidden in Xiang Yu's army came with news. The panic of the young king of Chu disappeared, and he immediately summoned his henchmen and others to hold a small banquet.
……
For Xiang Yu, who is the mighty in the world, the young King Chu gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly, but he had to rely on Xiang Yu.
After all, he is supported by the Xiang clan, and the Xiang clan also has deep roots in Chudi. He is a Chu general and has a deep influence. Especially now that Xiang Yu is in the Chu army, he is unique and the family is dominant.
Because of this, Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, was very jealous of the Xiang family. Especially after Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, the two were destined to not coexist.
……
Since Song Yi was killed, Liu Ji alone has been unable to balance Xiang Yu. The main force of the entire Chu army can be said to only know Xiang Yu, but not the king of Chu.
At this time, King Xiong of Chu Huai was angry in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He knew very well that once he angered Xiang Yu, not only would the throne not be secured, but there might even be a life-and-death crisis.
……
No one wants to sit still, Chu King Xiongxin clearly felt Xiang Yu's arrogance and the uneasiness of being threatened at all times, so he made a decisive move.
After coming to Pengcheng, King Chu Huai began to clean up the court. Although he is just a shepherd child, such a long time of court life has already made him different from what he used to be.
His vision and insight have undergone earth-shaking changes, and Xiong Xin knows that in this chaotic world with the king of soldiers, he has no ability to manipulate the strength of all parties at all.
But in the battle of Dingtao, Wu Xinjun Xiang Liang died in battle, which made Xiong Xin feel a touch of pride in his heart, and he didn't want to be a virtual king again.
After a series of deployments, taking advantage of this time gap, when the three armies of Lu Chen, Liu Ji, and Xiang Yu were weak and balanced, Chu Huai Wang Xiongxin showed a demonic means.
With the help of the righteousness of the king of Chu, for the first time, the strategic power of the king of Chu and his ministers was shown, making the originally illusory power of the temple real.
At such a juncture, whether it is military and political affairs, if there is no recognition of the banner of the King of Chu, there is no way for each party to cooperate.
Due to the various deployments of King Xiongxin of Chu Huai, a multi-headed situation was generated in which the strength of the military horse and the power of the temple were loose and mutually restricted.
The king of Chu, Xiong Xin, was very smart and realized that this was the best opportunity to increase his royal power. Even if it was set up, it was smooth sailing.
It's just that this kind of smooth sailing is too fake, and Xiang Yu will burst out and control the main force of the Chu army in one fell swoop. Then the giant deer fought and moved the Central Plains.
Princes and generals!
From this moment on, King Xiong of Chu knew that all his hard work was in vain.
……
"Report to the king, the general has a secret report!" The chamberlain calmly walked into the main hall and put the bamboo slips sent by Xiang Yu on the long table.
"Rubbish!" After browsing through the secret book, Xiong Xin took the case: "Immediately send an order to Yin, Shangzhu Kingdom, and Situ to come to the palace to discuss the country!" ”
"No."
……
"See my king!" In a short moment, Lu Qing, Lu Tai, Chen Ying and others came to the main hall and bowed towards Xiong Xin in unison.
"The three Aiqing don't have to be polite, they all sit!" With a wave of his hand, Xiong Xin suppressed the anger in his heart, and his face turned from cloudy to clear.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened?" Lu Qing was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Xiang Yu sent a secret letter, he wants to negotiate peace with Qin II, and invite this king to go to Shaanxi County to ......"
"No!"
Lu Chen frowned, and hurriedly stood up and bowed solemnly: "There are many gaps between the king and the general, and it is too dangerous to stay away from Pengcheng." ”
In the entire Chu State, almost everyone knows that between Lu Gong Xiang Yu and King Chu Huai, there is the same situation.
At this time, the danger factor of rushing north to Shaanxi County is too great, and King Chu Huai, as the banner of the anti-Qin forces, must not take risks.
"The old minister seconded the proposal!" Ling Yin Luqing also nodded, expressing his disapproval of King Chu Huai's Xiong Xin going north.
After pondering for a long time, King Chu Huai sighed faintly: "In this case, what should Ling Yin, Shangzhu Guo, Situ and Situ do if they are lonely?" ”
After a little thought, Lu Qing was resolute and said: "Your Majesty, I will order Duke Lu and Pei Gong to decide this matter, and we will stay in Pengcheng and watch the world rise." ”
……
At this time, the Chu regime was obviously too hasty. They did not clearly realize that in this troubled era, after all, those who have military power speak loudly.
Now Xiang Yu holds the main force of the Chu army, invincible and invincible, stirring the world. Even if he gave Liu Ji a hundred guts, he didn't dare to disobey.
It can be said that Lu Qing and others made a wrong move!
"Smack!"
When the case was taken, a flash of determination flashed in Xiong Xin's eyes, and he resolutely ordered: "Ling Yin, immediately repair a copy of the book, and tell Xiang Yu and Liu Ji about the king's intentions." ”
"No."
……
There is no need for the king of Chu to worry about Xiong Xin, the envoy sent by Xiang Yu has already sent the secret letter to Wuguan.
……
At this moment, in the martial arts, Liu Ji's generals and civil and military forces gathered together, staring at the secret book sent by Xiang Yu, and everyone's expressions were a little dignified.
"Mr. Zifang, Mr. Xiao, do you have any opinions on the secret book sent by Xiang Yu?" Liu Ji's brows were dark, and his expression was a little unhappy.
"Pei Gong is so impetuous, how can he achieve great things!" Xiao He coldly dropped a sentence, and the atmosphere in the hall was even more awkward.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zifang still asks me!" Liu Ji, who was unhappy in his heart, finally calmed down.
"Pei Gong's blindness lies in his momentary fame!" Zhang Liang was solemn and said: "Since Chen Shi Wu Guang unveiled the rod, the world has been in turmoil, the tombs and valleys are staggered, and the names of the princes have risen and fallen like carp crossing the river. ”
"And the person who has really laid the foundation is only Xiang Yu so far. The root cause of this is that he only values false fame and ignores strength. ”
"Pei Gong tried to imagine that if Chen Shi was not in a hurry to claim the throne, but vigorously purged the military horses, and called on Wu Guang and others to join forces with the world to defeat Qin, even if he could not die of Qin at that time, how could he die quickly and die without a place to be buried."
"The restoration of the Six Kingdoms as the king is inherently advantageous to the anti-Qin momentum. However, after the princes became kings, none of them trained their elite soldiers diligently, and all of them devoted themselves to fighting for power and fame. ”
"Today, only Xiang Yu will rise up and seize the leadership of the Chu army. and then defeated the Qin army in Julu and became famous all over the world. ”
"With today's great power, once the territory is sealed, Xiang Yu will inevitably jump up and become the overlord of the world!"
