Luoyang, the old imperial palace.

After Fusu pacified Guanzhong and re-established the capital Xianyang, Luoyang was changed to the eastern capital, which still retains the old imperial palace and some official systems.

At this time, it was evening, in the south study of the side hall, more than a dozen civil and military ministers gathered together, and they were deliberating, Xinping Hou Qiangkui, champion Hou Yingbu, Yingchuan Hou Zhang Liang, Yongning Hou Jibing, Gongzi Ying'an, etc. were all present.

Fu Su looked at the several newspapers in front of him, and said very happily: "Generals, here are just a few newspapers forwarded from Xianyang, they are all great joys, let me tell you!" The first thing, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Xin and others have pacified Hebei, and the whole territory of Hebei has been in my hands, among which Li Liang, Kuaitong, and Li Shang have made a lot of contributions in the battle, Meng Tian and others have asked for a reward, how do you see how to reward it?"

Zhang Liang heard this: "Your Majesty, Li Liang has already enjoyed a high position, it is not appropriate to reward too much, just add some food, but Kuaitong and Li Shang have not been rewarded by His Majesty, and this time it is appropriate to reward them heavily!" Well! What the military advisor said is very true!" Fusu nodded and said: "That's it, add Li Liang to eat 1,000, Kuaitong is the Marquis of Gaoyang, the general, the food is 3,000, and the Li Shang is the Marquis of Quzhou, the general, the food is 1,000!" What do you think?"

Zhong Wenwu looked at it and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded in agreement.

Fusu picked up the second Di report: "The other two Di reports are both from the Marquis of Huaiyin, the general Han Xin, who first broke the Zhaogong in Guangling, and then broke the dragon in Huaishui, and successively destroyed nearly 100,000 enemies. Now he is facing Xiang Liang in the north of Guangling, and it is estimated that there will be good news soon!"

Zhu Wenwu was taken aback when he heard this: when he first came out of Chang'an, he heard that Han Xin had crossed the river to the north and entered Guangling, and now it was only half a month, and he had successively broken Zhaogong and Longhe, so quickly. What a talent!

Ying An said with a smile: "At the beginning, I heard that the imperial brother appointed Han Xin as the Marquis of Huaiyin and the general, alongside Meng Tian and Li Xin, I and the generals were all taken aback, I didn't know who Han Xin was, and I was inevitably a little unconvinced!" I didn't expect this Han Xin to really give the imperial brother a long face, if he didn't make a move, it would be two beautiful victories, I really don't know where the imperial brother searched for such a genius!"

The generals laughed, and they didn't dare to underestimate Han Xin, a young man, at this time.

Fusu also smiled and said: "General Qin Hu knows about this, but it is a talented person he met when he traveled to Qichu in the past. At that time, although he was young, he had already begun to show the style of a famous general, so he gave him a lot of money and placed high hopes on him. He is also quite competitive, he won two battles as soon as he made a move, and it is estimated that the third victory is not far away!"

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said: "That Xiang Liang was lured by Han Xin to go deeper step by step, and he has already lost the lead, and now the Jianghuai area is rainy and rainy, and the Chu army is difficult to supply, it is estimated that Xiang Liang has an arrogant and arrogant character." The day of defeat is not far off!"

"Well, what the military advisor said is very true!" Fusu nodded and said, "Therefore, Han Xinlian will not be rewarded for the time being." After all, he was born to get this high position, and these credits are deserved. It's not too late to reward him after he breaks the beam! However, Cao Shen and Wu Rui's two generals still had to be rewarded, so Cao Shen was named Peihou and General Protector, and Wu Rui was named Marquis of Hengshan. Protector General, don't appreciate food for the time being! As for Wuzhu, it can be regarded as some minor work, so add a Minnan Hou. The title of 3,000 food, after all, he was also the king of a country before!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers slapped the dragon's fart, but said in their hearts: "It's nothing else, but giving Wuzhu 3,000 food yils seems to be suspected of using power for personal gain!" But Wu Zhu is a relative of the emperor, the ministers thought in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it!

Fu Su probably knew what everyone was thinking, so he changed the topic and said: "Now that the war between Han Xin and Xiang Liang has not yet subsided, don't disturb him for the time being, let Han Xin be self-controlled!" However, since the war in Hebei has been settled, they can't let Meng Tian and them be idle, and immediately send an order to let them reorganize their army and prepare to cross the river and attack Qi, but they must leave a team and deploy it on the front line of Liyang and Hancheng to prevent Liu Bang from taking the opportunity to attack! And Lian, of course, I will send troops with Zhu Qing to clean up Liu Bang!" The generals laughed and responded in unison!

Within a few days, the Qin army finished resting in Luoyang, and immediately sent troops eastward and went straight to the tiger prison!

On this day, the army gradually approached the Tiger Prison Pass, one of the seven major Xiongguan passes in the world, and the terrain gradually became steeper, only a narrow pass for the army to pass through, and the surrounding area was towering cliffs and cliffs! As the army marched through the passes, it always gave the heart-pounding illusion that the cliffs on both sides were too high, too high, as if they might fall down at any moment!

Fusu looked at this steep terrain and secretly admired: "It is worthy of being known as the 'key to the world' Tiger Prison Xiongguan, it is really 'one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open', no wonder Liu Bang was able to hold on to Xiang Yu for several years without defeat!"

When Fusu was sighing, he suddenly found that there was smoke and dust in front of him, hooves rumbled, and it seemed that a team of military horses was galloping. "Zhao Tuo is here!" Fusu said in his heart.

Sure enough, after a while, the striker erupted into a burst of cheers, and then more than a dozen light horsemen came on horseback surrounded by a young general, who was not Zhao Tuo!

"Your Majesty, the minister Zhao Tuo is late to take over, I hope you will forgive me!" Zhao Tuo ran to Fusuma, turned over and dismounted, and bowed down!

Fusu hurriedly dismounted and said: "General, please get up, during this time, the general is guarding the tiger prison, and he doesn't dare to look west at the ugly people in the Kanto region, it's really too hard!" Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "To serve Your Majesty, the last general will not dare to speak hard." At the end of today, in addition to coming to receive Your Majesty, there is also a great happy event to report to Your Majesty!"

"Oh, what's the joy!?" Fusu was a little strange.

Zhao Tuo was about to speak, when suddenly at the rumbling of hooves on the side of the road, Zhang Liang and dozens of horsemen rushed over from the Chinese army. "General Zhao hasn't seen you for a long time, has it always been good?" Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "There is a labor army and a division#, it will not be very good." This time I'm here to give your Majesty good news!" Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and his face showed surprise: "Could it be ......"

Zhao Tuo spoke first: "Exactly, the eight-hundred-mile urgent report I just received, Xiang Liang died in ambush on the Guangling front, 60,000 Chu and others were defeated overnight, and General Han won a complete victory!"

"Huh!?" Although they had already expected it, Fusu and Zhang Liang were still a little surprised and couldn't believe it!" Great, come on, immediately order the three armies to tell the soldiers this great news!" Fusu was a little happy and didn't bother his mouth. "Whoa!" The heralds went happily, shouting all the way: "Guangling is a great victory." General Han killed Xiang Liang, and the 60,000 Chu army was defeated overnight......"

Suddenly, the 300,000 Qin troops erupted in earth-shattering cheers, which shook the rocks on both sides of the cliff, which was quite a bit of a landslide and a crack.

Soon, a holy decree to seal Han Xin as the king of Guangling and the marquis of Wanhu was issued from the tiger prison and went straight to the camp of Han Xin in Huaishang.

Daliang City, the former Wei Bao Mansion, Liu Bang and his henchmen are deliberating.

Now Liu Bang has Xiahou Ying, Fan Xu, Cao Wuxian and other generals under his command, and Chen Ping is also a plan. It can be regarded as a wealth of talents, and it is very prosperous. Even Peng Yue, who was very proud, became Liu Bang's henchman in Liu Bang's clever wrist, and stood in the same trench as Liu Bang!

"Generals," Liu Bangdi's face was like a flower, very bright: "The news just from Pengcheng is all good news, at least for us!"

Seeing Liu Bang so happy, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised, Xiahou Ying said: "Lord, what kind of joy makes you so excited?" Liu Bang glanced at Chen Ping. Sold a pass and said, "Sir, can you guess?"

A disapproving smile appeared on Chen Ping's handsome and deep face, and he said lightly: "But Xiang Liang died at the hands of Han Xin!?" Liu Bang was taken aback when he heard this, and said with some wondering: "How does Mr. know!?" I've just gotten a six-hundred-mile rush from the land!"

"What. Xiang Liang is dead!?" The generals were suddenly so shocked that their mouths opened wide and looked at each other. Dumbfounded!

Chen Ping said lightly: "What's so difficult about this! It can be seen from Han Xin's two battles of breaking Guangling and Longhe that Han Xin is resourceful and ruthless, but he is a landlord who does not see his son and does not scatter eagles, and he does not make a move. If you make a move, you will be hit. If Xiang Liang is cautious against the enemy, he may not necessarily lose. But Xiang Liang was arrogant and arrogant, treating Han Xin as nothing, and couldn't see through Han Xin's true intention to retreat step by step, so he chased after him. It was not surprising that he was trapped in the continuous rain and finally died in defeat!"

Liu Bang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but fortunately he was extremely thick-skinned, and he snorted and said: "The military advisor is really smart, powerful, amazing!"

The generals were also overjoyed at this time, and Fan Xu grinned and said: "Lord, great, as soon as Xiang Liang dies, the lord no longer needs to be afraid of anyone, now that I am based in Weidi, why don't you just set yourself up as king!?"

Liu Bang's heart moved when he heard this, and the thief's eyes exuded a greedy light, for a former hooligan: How great is the temptation of the throne! But Liu Bang also knew that this throne was not easy to climb, and if it wasn't good, it would have to be put into the ground, so he hesitated a little and said: "This, it doesn't seem to be very good!" As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping didn't know what Liu Bang meant, so he smiled and said, "Lord, how is the current situation in Pengcheng?" Liu Bang was a little proud when he heard this: "After Xiang Liang died, Xiang Yu's kid still wanted to inherit his uncle's position as the general of the Shangzhu State, but he was humiliated by Song Yi and Huan Chu, not only did he not get the position of the general of the Shangzhu State, but he also did not get the general and the former general, and in the end he only fished a rear general to show comfort!" I heard that Xiang Yu's face was green with anger at that time, and he was about to draw his sword in court and Song Yi, Huan Chu and others, if it wasn't for Fan Zeng and Xiang Bo to stop him in the end, I am afraid that blood would be splashed in the court at that time! Now, Song Yi and Huan Chu are serving as generals of the upper and lower pillars of the country respectively, but the position of general has made me pick up a bargain, so even General Peng has a good time and takes the position of former general, which is much stronger than Xiang Yu! Hahaha!"

The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and Xiahou Ying said with a smile: "In the past, the lord was unwilling under Xiang Liang, but I didn't expect Xiang Liang to die, and by the hand of Song Yi, the lord was actually ranked in the important position of general and became the general with the heaviest military power in the DPRK, especially above Xiang Yu, congratulations!"

Chen Ping didn't think about it so much, but just asked, "So, Xiang Yu and Song Yi didn't have a conflict in the court?" Liu Bang shrugged his shoulders and said with a regretful expression: "Yes, maybe it's better to take care of the overall situation, neither side dares to completely tear face!"

Chen Ping nodded and said, "In this way, the time is not yet ripe for the lord to be king. At present, the total strength of the Chu State is about 450,000, and the lord occupies 200,000, the largest number of troops; It is estimated that there are seventy or eighty thousand in Xiang Yu's hands, and the rest are controlled by Song Yi and Huan Chu. At first glance, we don't seem to be afraid of the court, but the most elite troops in the Chu State are either in the hands of Xiang Yu, or Song Yi and Huan Chu, and most of these elite soldiers are Xiang Liang's old troops. Brave and good at fighting, these newly recruited soldiers are not the enemy of us, and there are still two generals Yu Fanjun and Zhu Jishi in our army to hinder them. At this time, if we are called the king, there are heavy troops of Qin and Chu outside, and there are great troubles inside, and it is really difficult to guarantee everything, so I think that at present, we should first set up the second general Yu and Zhu, control all the military power of Wei in my hands, and then look at the situation and decide!"

"Hmm," Liu Bang was a little disappointed. But he also nodded: "What the military advisor said is very true!" If he is called king now, Song Yi, Xiang Yu and others will definitely abandon their previous suspicions and send troops to attack, while Meng Tian and others will lead hundreds of thousands of troops to Handan, and they will also be eyeing me, which is indeed not a good opportunity to be called king. Military division, at present, the second generals Yu Fanjun and Zhu Jishi still hold the 50,000 old troops when we set out on the expedition, and their combat strength is not weak.

Chen Ping thought for a while and said, "Since Xiang Liang is now dead, the army's morale must be a little turbulent. It is better to take this opportunity to use Yu and Zhu Erwei to patrol Wei and appease the army, and take the opportunity to record and seize the military power of these two people. After Yu and Zhu Er will use the identity of Xiang Liang's old subordinates to pacify the army, we will send elite soldiers to disguise themselves as rogues to kill them on the road and never suffer in the future. That's killing two birds with one stone! This matter will reach the ears of the court in the future. Song Yi, Huan Chu and others have no evidence, and they are helpless. What's more, this Yu and Zhu Er will be Xiang Yu's party, and it will not hurt them if they die; As for Xiang Yu, does he still have the ability to blow his beard and stare at the lord!? So even if the lord starts, there will be no trouble!" Chen Ping really deserves to be a 'conspirator'. Cautious and vicious, Yu Fanjun and Zhu Jishi met him, and they really had to wait to be killed!

"Wonderful!" Everyone's eyes lit up: "Enough, poisonous enough!" Liu Bang was also overjoyed and said: "What the military advisor said is very good, and I will wait for the news of Xiang Liang's death to be released." Then ...... "Hahaha......" everyone laughed darkly.

Within a few days, Liu Bangguo to. Xiang Liang is newly dead, and the army's heart must be soothed. In the name of Yu Fanjun and Zhu Jishi, the two generals will proclaim Wei Di, saying that there will be a reward after they come back, and the two generals will not doubt it, and rush away. Within a few days, when the second general finished comforting most of the Chu army in Dong County and Hanoi County, he was about to turn back to Daliang, but he encountered it at night. Unknown rogues, ambushes, and hundreds of pro-soldiers were all killed!

The news was transmitted back to Daliang, and Liu Bang and others celebrated with their crowns, and they were beaming with joy for a while.

Unexpectedly, just when Liu Bang and the others thought they had a plan, the news came that the emperor of Qin, Fusu, led 300,000 tigers and wolves to the tiger prison, and was about to pounce on Weidi! At the same time, Meng Yi commanded 50,000 troops to Hancheng and looked at Hanoi!

Liu Bang was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter, and at that time, Wei Didong County, Hanoi, and Dangjun were already all Liu Bang's cronies and generals.

Looking at the worried expressions on the faces of the generals, Liu Bang's confidence was also a little shaken, he never thought that Fusu would sweep away the Kanto region so quickly and return to the east, as soon as he thought of the name of Fusu Nawei Town, Liu Bang's heart trembled a little. What chilled Liu Bang's heart the most was that when Liu Bang thought of the meeting between Peijun and Fusu in the past, he felt that his mind was like a ** beauty in front of Fusu, unobstructed, let it stomp, and the confidence to win was even more stormy.

"Generals, why don't you speak? Now that the enemy is coming, you have come up with an idea!" Liu Bang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and for a while he no longer had the steadiness he disguised on weekdays, and became as impetuous as an unscrupulous hooligan!

Peng Yue, Fan Xu and the others looked at each other, their faces calmed down slightly, and Peng Yue said: "Liu Gong, the 300,000 troops of Fusu are all the elite of the Qin army, and Qiang Kui, Yingbu and others are even more enemies of 10,000 people, not our army can be defeated, and there is Meng Yi in the north, so hurry up and ask the court for reinforcements!" Peng Yue was defeated by Fusu in the battle of Yingchuan before, and he was a little afraid of Fusu's troop strategy!

Liu Bang looked at Chen Ping when he heard this, but Chen Ping hesitated a little and said, "I'm afraid the court won't send reinforcements!" Why!?" The crowd was shocked.

Chen Ping said: "I heard that the continuous rain in Jianghuai has been released in recent months, and the weather is getting better day by day, so Han Xin's department will inevitably mobilize a large army to go north to attack Huai'an, Huaiyin and other places, and enter Pengcheng, so in order to deal with Han Xin's big enemy, the imperial court will inevitably leave the main force in Pengcheng to deal with Han Xin, plus the Zhongli Department of Jiujiang, the left-behind troops in Chen County, Surabaya County, Xue County and other places, the court is only 250,000 troops, how can there be extra troops sent to us!" I'm afraid we'll have to fight the enemy alone!"

"Phew!" Everyone gasped: Fusu in the west, and Meng Yi in the north. This situation is very unoptimistic!

Liu Bang had a headache and said, "Strategist, is there no other reinforcement?" With our 200,000 soldiers alone, and many of them are newly recruited soldiers or Wei troops, they are not the opponents of the Qin army at all!" Chen Ping thought for a while and said, "The only way to do this now is to form an alliance with the Qi State!" Now I have heard that Meng Tian and Li Xin are also leading 200,000 elite soldiers to Nanpi County, on the shore of the Yellow River, and have the intention of attacking the Qi State, and if the court comes forward to express the intention of forming an alliance, the Qi State will definitely be willing to join forces to resist the enemy!"

Liu Bang was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Military advisor, I heard that Tian Dan has not been able to fight Tian Rong and Tian Heng. was ousted from power and executed, and it is currently Tian Rong who is king. This Tian Rong also has to face the 200,000 army of the Qin State, even if he forms an alliance with me, he is just looking at each place, can he divide his troops to help our Chu State?"

Chen Ping said worriedly: "It depends on the means of the court: now even if Han Xin gets some Jiangnan reinforcements, the soldiers are only 100,000, and the remaining troops in Pengcheng have room for measures, and the most pressure is the lord's way, if there are no reinforcements, it will be impossible to hold on." And the country of Qi is vast and rich. Once fully mobilized, the number of soldiers can be mobilized from the current 300,000 to more than 600,000. If you send your strength, explain the benefits to the Qi country. Since the Qi State only faced the Qin army all the way and the pressure was small, it still had the ability to send some troops to help!"

Liu Bang was overjoyed and said: "Okay, I will immediately send an urgent envoy to Pengcheng, and let the court send a powerful envoy to ask for help from the Qi State." Hope it will be successful!" Lord, even so, even if it succeeds, I'm afraid that the reinforcements of the Qi State will not arrive for a while. Let's hurry up and find a way to deal with the upcoming strong enemy!" Xiahou Ying's forehead was a little sweaty with anxiety.

"Exactly, Daliang is only more than 400 miles away from the Qin army's controlled territory, during which all the cities are small, only Chenliu and Abandoned County are only to resist the enemy, how do you think the troops will be arranged?" Liu Bang asked Chen Ping.

Chen Ping said: "At present, our army has a small number of troops, so we should try to minimize the areas we are defending, so as not to spread the troops too much and give the enemy a good chance to break through!" Therefore, I suggest that the current troop strength should be arranged in this way: Hanoi County should leave 20,000 troops to contain the headquarters of Meng Yi Hancheng, and the rest should be withdrawn to Daliang; Dongping County has 20,000 soldiers, which is my army's grain and grass base. There must be no mistakes, and at the same time, we can also protect the flanks and rear of our troops; 10,000 troops will be added to Dong'e, because Qi wants to reinforce my Wei land, along the Jishui to Dong'e to Dongping into Wei is the shortest shortcut, if the Qin soldiers cut off with strange soldiers, Qi reinforcements will bypass Mount Tai, Surabaya, Jiuli Mountain and other places, greatly delaying time; Dangjun also needed 20,000 soldiers as a special corner of the Great Liang, so that even if the Qin army broke through the defense line of Chenliu and the abandoned city, it would not be able to attack the Great Liang with all its might; At present, there are more than 20,000 remnants of the Dragon and Legion in Chen County, led by the Dragon and the general Yongya, and Chi Ke and Dangjun and Daliang are each other's horns, dividing the Qin troops, so the lord should quickly inform Yongya that he must defend Chen County as a general. In this way, there are still 130,000 left in our army, and now Chen has 10,000 soldiers stationed in it, and there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the abandoned city, which is not enough to resist the Qin army, so we should quickly send reinforcements to form a ladder defense, and consume the strength and time of the Qin army in turn, so as to support the arrival of Qi reinforcements. However, judging from the speed of the Qin army's march, there is no time to reinforce Chen Liu, so it is best to strictly order Chen Liu's defenders to resist to the last cocoon, and at the same time immediately increase the army by 20,000 and abandon the city, build a defensive line, and wait for the battle. After this arrangement, there will probably be 100,000 troops left, all of whom will return to Daliang, in order to stay behind the enemy and fight to the death with the Qin army!"

Liu Bang thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is very true, this is also the best arrangement that can be thought of in the current situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak." If you fight hard head-on, with the strategy of supporting Su and the courage of the Qin army, I am afraid that you will lose all in three or five days!"

Cao Wuxian agreed: "Yes, Fusu is good at using strange soldiers, and there is a scheming Zhang Liang for the scheme, Yingbu is also a wise general, and it is difficult for our army to use strange soldiers, so we can only hold on and wait for help when the troops are insufficient." But, Liu Gong, who will guard the abandoned city? It would be great if he could stick to it for a year and a half like the previous General Wu Haoyue!"

Chen Ping looked at Liu Bang, the two exchanged glances, Liu Bang made a look of embarrassment and said: "Among the generals, General Xiahou is good at chariot warfare on the plains, General Fan is good at attacking cities and pulling out villages, and General Cao is good at foot combat, but there is no one who is good at defending the city, Liu is very embarrassed!" As he spoke, he looked at Peng Yue.

Peng Yue saw Liu Bang looking at him, there was some helplessness in his eyes, and he understood in his heart. He said: "Gong Liu, the last general is still careful, and he still has some experience in defending the city, just let me go, the 20,000 veterans under my command are all elite in a hundred battles, and I dare not guarantee to defend the abandoned city for a year and a half, but it is estimated that I can still defend it in a month!" I hope that during this time, I can wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Qi Kingdom!"

Liu Bang was not easy to speak at the beginning because Peng Yue was also a prince before, and as soon as he joined his command, he asked him to undertake the dangerous task of defending the ruined city, and he felt a little difficult to export, and at this time he saw Peng Yue take the initiative to take it. couldn't help but get up and thank him: "General Peng is so desperate, how dare Liu be, please accept me here!"

Peng Yue hurriedly got up and said: "Liu Gong hurry up, please get up, since I am the general of the public, I should share the worries of the Lord, please rest assured that Liu Gong is here, there is a certain city, and the ruined city is here!" No, no," Liu Bang had tears in his eyes. Hurriedly said: "The general just do his best, if you really can't hold it, quickly withdraw to the girder." I'd rather not abandon the city than have anything happen to the general!" Peng Yue was very moved. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Gong Liu, Peng knows." Now that the army is in a hurry, without further ado, I will go and set off with some troops!" Take care, General!" Liu Bang held Peng Yue's hand. A reluctant look!

Soon, after receiving Liu Bang's urgent letter, the court of Chu really couldn't send any reinforcements, so it adopted Liu Bang's opinion to form an alliance with Qi and ask Qi for help. Quickly sent an envoy, Chen Ling, to Linzi.

Linzi City, as tall and majestic as before, the city is dozens of miles; The city is still densely populated, commercially developed, and prosperous.

When the princes of Kwantung fought with the Qin army in a bloody battle, the Qi State was like a paradise without the slightest invasion of war, except for some internal turmoil in the court, the people have been very stable, so they have accumulated quite a strong strength!

At that time, in the evening, the door of the mansion of Tian Xian, the Gaoling Jun of Qi State, seemed very quiet, two big red lanterns had already been hung up, illuminating the ground and door plaque in front of the door, and the four big men with tigers and bears were standing majestically in front of the gate of the mansion with long swords.

Tian Xian, after the royal family of Naiqi, is the brother of Tian Rong and Tian Heng, and Ertian has always been good friends, and has contributed a lot in the process of helping Ertian overthrow Tian Dandi, and has won the trust of Tian Rong, the king of Xinqi!

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the South Street, and over the place, more than a dozen fast horses swept like the wind, stirring up a cloud of dust, and the people on the street were all avoided, and they were in a hurry. After the group of horses, the people of Zhuqi, who have always been unruly, scolded everywhere!

Soon, more than a dozen fast horses came to Tian Xian's door, and the knights on the ground immediately fell off their horses, and a young man in the lead ran to the gate with his clothes.

"Stop, who's who?" The four great men of the Qi Kingdom immediately stopped the young man.

The young man hurriedly took out a letter of worship and said, "I am Chen Ling, an envoy from the state of Chu, who came to envoy the state of Qi on the orders of the king of Chu and the general of Song Yi. My General Song and Gao Lingjun are old friends, so let someone bring some private messages to Gao Lingjun, please let me know!" As he spoke, Chen Ling took out a small piece of gold and stuffed it into the hands of the leader.

"Well said, well said!" You wait, the leading Qi State Han immediately became more enthusiastic: "You wait, I'll report it right away!" It's hard work!" Chen Ling arched his hand.

The Tianfu guards went in to pay their respects, and Chen Ling waited anxiously. After a while, I saw a sound of footsteps in the house, and the guard led a man in a gorgeous costume and a high crown to stride over. Chen Ling looked at it carefully: This person has about four sentences, thin eyes and long eyebrows, a thin and elegant face, a medium body with a white brocade forging robe is even more decent, the whole person looks very gentle and elegant, and has the style of an elder, it must be Gaoling Juntian Xian!

"You are the messenger sent by Song Yi?" Tian Xian looked at the young man in front of him: handsome and chic, elegant and capable, more like a young scholar than like a eloquent messenger!

"Exactly, the villain Chen Ling, a native of Si County, meet Gao Lingjun!" Chen Ling bowed and saluted.

"Oh, Benjun remembered, you are the prodigy of Si County, known as the genius who 'became a poem at the age of five and can be endowed at the age of seven'?" Tian Xian looked at Chen Ling with great interest. "It's the villain, you've won the prize!" Chen Ling looks very modest!

Tian Xian smiled: "It's a guest from afar, please come inside!" Thank you!"

Tian Xian carried Chen Ling inside, and Chen Ling's guards were received by Tian Mansion's subordinates. After the two entered the inner hall, the guests and hosts fell, and Tian Xian said with a smile: "Chen ...... Hehe, your envoy is so young, I don't know what to call it!" Chen Ling hurriedly said: "You can call me Chen Ling directly!"

"Okay, Chen Ling, you come to my Qi country this time, don't pay homage to the prime minister first. What is the important thing that you do not worship the king of Qi, but come to me first? I'm afraid it's not just as simple as saying hello to Song Yi, an old friend of Dai Benjun!" Tian Xianneng stands out among the royal families of Qi State, and he is not an ordinary person!

Chen Ling said with a smile: "Your Excellency Shengming, the villain doesn't go around ***, so he said it directly!" Chen Ling straightened up and said: "The villain was ordered to make Qi this time, firstly, he wanted to form an alliance with Qi, and secondly, he wanted to ask Qi for reinforcements. The king must have heard of it, the previous time my Chu State had a series of misfortunes, and in the hands of Han Xin Xiao'er, he even mourned the two generals of Zhaogong and Long. Now General Xiang Liang is even more unfortunate to die, and he has really suffered heavy losses and suffered serious injuries. Now, Fuxin is in the south, Fusu is in the west, Meng Yi is in the north, and more than 400,000 troops from the three roads are forcing towards our Chu country, and my Chu country is now weak and tired, and it is difficult to resist such a powerful offensive of the Qin army, and I heard that the Qi country was also threatened by Meng Tian's army, so I sent villains to form an alliance with your country, and asked your country to send troops to help!"

"Oh, I see! General Xiang Liang: I've met him before. It's really a hero, and now it's a pity that Wei Tiantian is dying! Aging. You say, old friend Song Yi asked you to come to me directly this time. I guess there is a request for me, just say something!" Tian Xian seemed very emotional, but he was also very righteous.

Chen Ling was overjoyed and said busily: "The villain has heard that the king is anxious for justice and righteousness. It is known as the little Meng of Qi State, and now when I see it, it is really as good as his name. General Song has nothing else to ask for, but hopes that the king can persuade Tian Chengxiang and the king of Qi to form an alliance with me. And send troops to help! I don't know what the king means?"

Tian Xian frowned when he heard this, and was a little embarrassed: "This ——, is not difficult!" As you know, our Qi State is now also deploying troops in the Linzi area and on the front line of Jishui, preparing to engage with Meng Tian's army, and it has just quelled the civil strife, which is quite a bit self-conscious. I can make an alliance together, but I'm afraid it may not be possible to send troops to help!"

Chen Ling said: "Your Majesty, Qi has a large population, a large land and a vast amount of resources, and has always been a big country, although there are only more than 300,000 soldiers now, but once it is urgently mobilized, it is not a problem to gather 600,000 troops. And Meng Tian's army is only 200,000 people, and the pressure on Qi is relatively small, so I think Qi still has the ability to send 100,000 to 200,000 reinforcements. And our Chu State is now fighting against 400,000 well-equipped and well-trained Qin soldiers in a hundred battles with 400,000 newly defeated divisions, and there is even the Qin Emperor Fusu Imperial Commander personally conquest, and the pressure is really several times greater than that of Qi State. If the State of Qi only cares about itself and does not save itself, it will be difficult for my Chu State to support it for a long time, once it falls, it will be able to remain undefeated or victorious under the onslaught of Meng Tian, but once the Fusu comes back, and the troops and resources of the world come to attack Qi again, I am afraid that the State of Qi will repeat the mistake of the Qin Emperor winning the government and destroying the Qin in the past! This is the situation of saving the two benefits, and not saving the two injuries, with the wisdom of the king, it must not be difficult to see the stakes in this, so please help the king, Yucheng this matter!"

"Well, you think it makes sense, let me think about it!" Tian Xian looked contemplative, obviously moved by Chen Ling's words, and was thinking about the matter. Chen Ling was a little nervous, but his face was calm and calm, but he was already anxious in his heart as if he was boiling a pot!

After a long time, Tian Xian suddenly got up and said, "This gentleman has decided!" In the past, my Qi country was dying in the death of other countries, thinking that they could get out of the matter, and were finally destroyed by Qin Shi Huang one by one, such as today there are only Qi and Chu left, if the Chu country dies, Qi will not die well, so Qi will save Chu!"

Chen Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, his heart finally fell to the ground, and he said with great joy: "Great, my Chu country is saved!" The monarch and Cheng Xiang have a good relationship, if they can first say that they can help Cheng Xiang, and then persuade the King of Qi together, it will be a success to send troops to save Chu!" Tian Xian praised kindness and said with a smile: "Song Yi's old friend is really knowledgeable, I really feel at ease to send a young man like you, you must know that this is a gamble on the fortunes of the country!" Fortunately, you have not failed in your mission!" Chen Ling also said with a smile: "In fact, even if General Song knows people and the kid can argue, if the king is not a virtuous person, then the kid can only return this time!" Chen Ling's words lightly slapped Song Yi, himself and Tian Xian on the back.

Tian Xian laughed: "What a sharp mouth!" Okay, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, without further ado, I'll take you to Tian Chengxiang, today Benjun is giving up his life, you must be a qualified lobbyist!" Chen Ling laughed.

Immediately, Tian Xian took Chen Ling to Tian Heng's mansion, using his identity and influence on Tian Heng to move Tian Heng, and the next day the three of them worked together to persuade Tian Rong, the king of Qi, to finally determine the Qi Chu alliance and Qi sending troops to save Chu.

To say that Tian Rong and Tian Heng are really very human, otherwise how could they get the support of most of the royal families and elders of Qi to seize the throne, so once they decided to send troops to save Chu, Tian Rong immediately sent Tian Heng to recruit 150,000 troops in China to save Chu, and led 300,000 Qi troops to prepare for the battle against Meng Tian in Linzi!

For a while, the world will be full of wolves, and there will be a tragic melee, I don't know how many people will become famous and how many people's dreams will be shattered!
