Hua Long said: "What do you think, I am preparing to help the Zhou Dynasty unify the world in this place, and keep it for the elderly, how can I ignore you." ”

Ji Xian said happily: "Oh, you suddenly explained these things to me, I thought that Brother Hua just wanted to help me find a place to live, and he ignored me in the future." ”

Hua Long said: "It seems that I am too verbose, and I am also afraid that I will often go out to fight, and you will not be able to call the shots about some things, so I said it in advance." ”

Ji Xian said, "Then I'll guard this place." ”

Hua Long said: "It's almost time today, let's go back." ”

As soon as Hua Long and Ji Xian went back, Xiang Yu sent someone to call him over, Hua Long brought Ji Xian over, and when he arrived, he found that everyone had already gathered together.

Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, King Qi has just sent a messenger, saying that he wants to unite with us to destroy the Lu State, let us attack from the south, and they attack from the north." Everyone agrees to send troops, what do you think? ”

Hua Long said: "This is a good thing, definitely the alliance." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Ji Yan's opinion is: 'We can't send too many troops over, and Luoyi must also prevent Chu and Jin from attacking. The state of Lu is in the easternmost part by the sea, and the two countries of Chu and Jin are too far away from them, so they will definitely support the state of Lu by attacking Luoyi and letting us return to defense. ’”

Hua Long said: "I think the same as Ji Yan, the soldiers on our Luoyi side can't move, so we will send 100,000 horses from Yiling over." Lu has 220,000 troops now, and Wei Guo was defeated by us last time, and he took the initiative to make peace with us, and it is estimated that he will not support Lu State; Even if the Song State sent 100,000 people to support the Lu State, they would only add up to 320,000 people, fighting on both sides, with 160,000 on the other, which was easy to deal with. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Okay, then I will lead the troops to attack Lu in the past." ”

Hua Long said: "Big brother, you can't go, you have great deterrence, you should sit in Luoyi, as long as you are here, Chu and Jin will not dare to move." ”

Ji Yan said: "If Brother Xiang doesn't go, who can be sure that 100,000 will win 160,000." ”

Hua Long said: "Whoever says that they are going to fight, we will make a move, bring people over, drag half of their troops, and let Qi Guo fight." If Qi wins, the coalition forces of Song will definitely withdraw, and the remaining Lu army will surrender to us, and we will divide the territory of Lu with Qi. If Qi loses, we will make peace with Lu Jun, and Lu will definitely agree. ”

Xiang Yu said: "The second brother is still thoughtful, so that no matter whether we win or lose, we have avoided casualties, we now have more than 200,000 horses, the casualties are large, and we will be very passive in the future." ”

Hua Long said: "If the Lu State is destroyed this time, the world will be almost a five-point situation, and the main ones will remain: Chu State, Jin State, Qin State, Qi State and the five main countries of our Zhou Dynasty, and the others will not be a problem." But we still don't know much about the northernmost Yan country, and we heard that the development momentum is very strong. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Yes, when the time comes, these five countries will still have the least number of troops and the worst geographical location, and the Qin State will have the most advantageous geographical location." Second brother, who will lead the troops this time? ”

Hua Long said: "Let's let Ji Yan, the princess, Guan Biao, and Chen Sheng go, and the two of us will stay in Luoyi." We need to train a few of them, so that they can cope with multi-front operations in the future. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Okay, you really need a helper to fight, and you can't fight alone, no matter how powerful you are." Xiang Yu also thought that he had fought in the past, and in the end, he was chased everywhere because he had no helper. Xiang Yu sent someone to pass on the envoy of Qi State.

After the envoy of Qi arrived, Xiang Yu said: "Envoy of Qi, you go and reply to the king of Qi, we are willing to unite with the king of Qi and send 120,000 horses to attack the south of Lu; The other 80,000 people were to stay in Luoyi to prevent Chu and Jin from sending reinforcements to support Lu. A month later, we attacked on both sides at the same time, and we divided the territory of Houlu equally. Xiang Yu thought: Just report 20,000 more, so that King Qi can increase his confidence.

So, the envoy of Qi went back.

Ji Ling spoke again: "Why are there so many questions, after the analysis of this dead rascal, it is much simpler." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Princess, the two of us are the ones who increase their martial arts, not their brains." ”

Ji Ling said: "The problem is that my martial arts are much worse than yours." ”

Guan Biao said: "Princess, you are still not satisfied, I am not your opponent anymore." ”

Ji Yan said: "Princess, now except for Brother Xiang, no one can beat you, it's not enough." ”

Ji Ling said: "Definitely not, I want to be the best, if I can defeat Brother Xiang, I will be happy, but I can only think about it, I can't beat him in my life." ”

Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Princess, if I fight in the future, I have to protect me." ”

Ji Ling said: "I don't bother to care about you, I want to kill the enemy, you have to protect Sister Ji Yan." ”

Hua Long said: "Also, when you set off, you claimed to be 150,000 to the outside world to scare each other. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Let's go back and prepare, and set off in a few days." ”

After everyone left, Xiang Yu joked to Hua Long: "Second brother, if this continues, I will be an ornament." ”

Hua Long said: "What's wrong with the arrangement, you are now a banner, as long as you attract all the talents around you." ”

Xiang Yu said: "The second brother is right, attract talents through me, and you just manage talents." ”

Hua Long said: "Big brother, we still have to be prepared to defend against the invasion of Chu and Jin. ”

Xiang Yu said, "Okay." Then both went back.

After receiving Xiang Yu's reply, King Qi thought: Xiang Yu led the troops, 120,000 is equivalent to 200,000 others, so he sent 200,000 horses to set off, and waited until the appointed day to start attacking Lu.

During this time, Hualong often called Ji Yan together alone and discussed with her some countermeasures against Lu Guo.

Soon, when the appointed time came, Ji Yan and the Qi army began to attack the city of Lu from both sides. Ji Yan's offensive was fierce, but the speed of advance slowed down, and when he next a city, he would rest for two or three days, and the Qi army would advance faster. However, Qufu, the capital of the Lu State, is closer to the south, and if this continues, it is estimated that the two sides will also hit Qufu at the same time.

As soon as the state of Lu was attacked, it sent four messengers for help, and the country did not dare to send troops; Song Guo was also a little hesitant; When Chu and Jin heard that Xiang Yu had sent 150,000 troops to attack Lu, they were a little moved, and after the two countries discussed, they jointly sent 200,000 troops to attack Xiang Yu's army in Luoyi City. After the Song State saw that the Chu and Jin countries sent troops, they also sent 80,000 horses to support the Lu State.

In this way, the situation was formed: 200,000 Qi troops and 150,000 Song coalition troops; Ji Yan's 100,000 also fought the Lu and Song coalition forces with 150,000; Xiang Yu 120,000 fought Chu and 200,000 Jin coalition troops.

The comedy happened, the combined forces of Chu and Jin arrived at the border of the Zhou Dynasty, and when they saw that Xiang Yu had brought 120,000 horses and horses waiting for them, they knew that the information was wrong. The Chu army was still led by Deng Liang, knew Xiang Yu, and saw that 80,000 of Xiang Yu's 120,000 horses were cavalry, and knew that he couldn't win at all, so he simply told the Jin army to withdraw his troops, and the Jin army had no choice, so he withdrew with the Chu army.

Xiang Yu also led his troops back to Luoyi.

Ji Yan's side began to confront the Lu and Song coalition forces as planned, and did not attack. There were many people on the Qi army's side, and after two days of confrontation, the Qi army launched an attack, and the combined forces of Lu and Song lost more than 15,000 people, and the Qi army also lost more than 10,000 points.

When the king of Song saw that Chu and Jin had withdrawn their troops, he was a little panicked, and the Song army was less than 240,000, and he sent 80,000 to support Lu. So the king of Song sent people to tell the generals on the front line, telling them to act at the right time and pay attention to preserving their strength.

The Qi army saw that Ji Yan's side did not move, so they sent people over to urge Ji Yan to attack together.
