Hua Long said: "This time, we originally wanted to harass the Lower Chu State and contain their westward expansion. I didn't expect to attract the king of Yue, this time the king of Yue was defeated, and the country of Yue had already injured the foundation, so it was not a problem. Now he has injured 100,000 horses in the Chu State, and this effect is unexpected. ”

Everyone happily said: "Yes, yes, General Xiang, General Hua, are we continuing to attack the Chu State?" ”

Hua Long said: "I still want to hear everyone's opinions. ”

Guan Biao, Ji Ling, Chen Sheng, and Liu Hu all said: "We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and conquer a piece of Chu State." ”

Ji Yan said: "The Chu State has 600,000 troops, 100,000 is not very important for them, our purpose is to balance the Chu State's dominance, and now that it has been achieved, there is no need to fight to the death with them, don't let the Qin State get too many benefits." Besides, we have just acquired one-third of the territory of the Yue Kingdom, so there is no need to take any more land in a short period of time. ”

Everyone said: "Miss Ji Yan's analysis is correct." ”

Hua Long said: "My sister is so right, but we can't cheapen the Chu State, we still can't withdraw the army for the time being, pretend to attack the city of Chu, and when the King of Chu knows the news of the defeat of the Yue Kingdom, he will definitely send someone to sue for peace, and then we will knock them hard." ”

Ji Ling asked, "Dead rascal, what do you want to blackmail them again?" ”

Hua Long said: "Grain and horses. ”

Ji Ling said, "You are too poisonous. ”

Everyone said: "In this way, the grain we used to give to Yue Guo has been taken back from Chu State, and now it is equivalent to picking up most of Yue State, and Yue Country has 200,000 troops less." Chu also has 100,000 fewer horses, and it has to pay for food and horses, which is too cost-effective. ”

Ji Ling said: "You two brothers, one god is going to die, and the other is going to die, I can be regarded as having seen it!" ”

Guan Biao said: "Yes, General Shen still has the vision and asked me to follow you, I feel quite honored now." ”

Hua Long said: "General Guan, in this way, Princess Ji Ling is much stronger than you, she is going to follow us alive or dead." ”

Ji Ling said: "Who cares about you dead hooligan, I am following Brother Xiang." ”

Everyone laughed. Chen Sheng said: "I should have the best vision, I am the first to follow General Xiang and General Hua, and everyone will have to call me senior brother in the future." ”

Ji Ling smiled and said, "You die and want to be beautiful." ”

Some also clasped their fists at Chen Sheng and shouted: "Senior Brother Chen is good, take care of the little brother more in the future." ”

Everyone laughed again.

Less than 10 days later, the king of Chu sent someone to sue for peace. Xiang Yu replied directly to the messenger: It is okay to retreat, and he wants Chu to pay 400,000 stone of grain and 20,000 war horses.

After another 10 days or so, the king of Chu sent people to send grain and war horses.

The king of Chu didn't want to fight Xiang Yu here, they grabbed more territory in the west, and gained much more than what they lost here.

Xiang Yu Hualong also happily withdrew, and they were now happy to see the Chu State and the Qin State compete in the west.

After returning to Yiling, Hua Long said to Xiang Yu: "Big brother, we have few soldiers, and there are more than 30,000 casualties in this battle, although Shen You also recruited 30,000 here, but the number of troops is still only 220,000, and now our territory is big enough, but there is a lack of population." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, this is better to take your time, there is no problem with 220,000 soldiers guarding Yiling, you can find a way to do the rest, I am too lazy to worry about it." ”

Hua Long said: "Okay, I'll see if there is any way to increase the number of troops." ”

After Deng Liang led the defeated army back, the king of Chu asked, "General Deng, why did you lose so badly this time?" ”

Deng Liang said: "We attacked around Xiang Yu's previous 120,000 troops, although there were casualties, but we had a large number of people and still had a little advantage. Who knew that Xiang Yu suddenly led more than 30,000 cavalry to kill from behind, so that the morale of their surrounded soldiers suddenly rose high, and in turn they attacked us on both sides, killing nearly 30,000 of our soldiers in an hour, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out if I don't withdraw. On the way to retreat, they were chased by their 70,000 cavalry for 30 miles, so they suffered heavy casualties. ”

The king of Chu said angrily: "The king of Yue is too bad, 200,000 troops only arrived in Yiling, and 100,000 were killed by Xiang Yu's 40,000 cavalry on the same day, and fled in a hurry, and also cut one-third of the territory to Xiang Yu, which caused our army to suffer." ”

Deng Liang said: "Xiang Yu killed the enemy, I have never seen it in my life, that momentum, it is not uncommon for King Yue to be defeated, let me lead 200,000 troops and Xiang Yu 40,000 to fight, I may not have beaten it." ”

King Chu was shocked: "Xiang Yu is so powerful, if he is allowed to develop and grow, it will not be even more invincible." ”

Deng Liang said: "Yes, I fought their previous 120,000 troops, and it was also very difficult, if it weren't for our large number of people, it is estimated that I would have been defeated a long time ago." They are well defended, no matter how they attack, they are not chaotic, and it seems that there are 2 women leading the troops. ”

The king of Chu sighed: "Women lead the troops, and only they can figure it out, why did a Xiang Yu suddenly appear in the past two years?" This person is definitely our biggest enemy in the future! ”

Deng Liang said: "Yes, face to head, no one in the world is Xiang Yu's opponent!" ”

The king of Chu said helplessly: "Let's unite with other countries and control the development of Xia Xiang Yu, we can't let him grow stronger." General Deng, you go back and rest, I can't blame you this time, no one thought that King Yue would be defeated so quickly. ”

When the other vassal states learned about this battle, they were all very shocked, and they were amazed that Xiang Yu's combat effectiveness was too terrifying, and they should be more cautious about Xiang Yu in the future.

After Xiang Yu's war, there are advantages and disadvantages: the advantage is that other countries dare not attack him casually; The disadvantage is that when other countries fight against him in the future, they will be extra careful and will not attack easily, and Xiang Yu will not win easily.

Hua Long and Xiang Yu thought about whether to destroy the Yue Kingdom, but they thought that the Yue Kingdom had cedered the land and sued for peace, and if they went to destroy him now, they would lose credibility in the vassal states, so that other countries would never ask them for peace again, and would only fight to the death. So I gave up this idea, anyway, Yue Guo couldn't afford to make big waves, but I always felt unsteady in my heart when I kept Yue Guo.

In the past two days, Hua Long was thinking about nothing: It's been almost two years since he came, and he hasn't officially put a sister, who is about the same as Xia Xueqin, but in order to take care of Ji Yan, he arranged the two of them together, but he didn't have the opportunity to be alone with Xia Xueqin. There were many times when I wanted to ask Xia Xueqin to come over and touch it personally, but I was afraid that Ji Yan would know about it, and her image would not be good. Besides, I still like Princess Ji Ling very much, and I was very happy to see her arguing with myself, so I held back.

Hua Long thought again: Brother Xiang won't be interested in the former Yu Ji and the current Ji Yan, and other beauties can't look down on him, right? It's hard to ask yourself. Hey, life is still unstable now, and after it is stable, I will definitely get a few wives, so I will take Ji Ling and Xia Xueqin first.

Hua Long was still thinking about how many wives he had, when Xiang Yu suddenly found him and said, "Second brother, according to the knowledge you have, how to find materials to build a good weapon?" ”

Hua Long said: "I don't know the specifics, I heard that it should be looking for those meteorites that fell from the sky, and you can get good materials." According to the records, the weapon you used in the past was refined from meteorites. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Okay, I'll go and say hello to Shen You, and ask him to tell those iron-smelting technicians to pay more attention to the materials in this area. ”
