Hua Long brought Ji Yan's sister and brother back, Xiang Yu was shocked when he saw it, and said, "Second brother, why did you bring them back again." ”

Hua Long said: "Big brother, I recognized them as younger brothers and sisters, I have no relatives now, the two of them are my relatives, you must help me protect them in the future." ”

"It must be, even if you are desperate to protect them." Xiang Yu was a little excited, Xiang Yu was very grateful to Hua Long in his heart, knowing that Hua Long was doing this for himself.

Hua Long then called Chen Sheng and instructed him to arrange Ji Yan's sister and brother.

In the afternoon, Hua Long was thinking about things, and the princess suddenly came to him and said angrily: "Dead rascal, you did it on purpose." ”

Hua Long was puzzled: "What is it deliberate?" ”

"You know that I like Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang originally let the woman go, and you ran to pull her back." The princess said loudly.

"That woman is so beautiful, I like her so much, I can't bear to let her go." Hua Long said.

The princess kicked Hualong again, but she didn't kick it, so she scolded: "You dead rascal, who are you fooling, you like her, and you accept her as a sister." ”

"Who said that if you like it, you can't be a sister, otherwise it's called: Brother Love! Or you can be my sister too. Hua Long said.

The princess felt that he was too scoundrel, and she couldn't talk about him, and she was angry with him, so she pointed at Hua Long and said, "You dead rascal, I will settle accounts with you slowly in the future." Then he angrily left.

"Princess, wait." Hua Long shouted: "That girl is from the same clan as you, what is your name?" ”

"I won't tell you about this damn rascal." The princess didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Then your name must be not good, that girl's name is Ji Yan, not only is she beautiful, but she also has a good name." Hua Long provoked her.

"Who said my name is not good, my name is: Ji Ling! Ji Ling! Ji Ling! You villain. The princess cried out louder and louder.

Hua Long thought that this name was really suitable for her, and the name was like her, but he still deliberately angry with her and said: "The name is average, so-so." ”

"What do you know about this villain, you have no culture." The princess left angrily

In the palace of King Wei, King Wei summoned the envoy of King Zheng, and King Wei said: "Envoy Zheng, what do you King Zheng have to discuss with the widow?" ”

Zheng envoy said: "My king heard that there is a force around the king of Zhou that has been rampant recently, and he wants to form an alliance with the king of Wei, the king of Qi has promised to send 50,000 troops, and my king Zheng has also promised to send 50,000 troops, and I am willing to cooperate with the king of Wei to attack them." ”

King Wei thought: Last time, Qi Guo also encouraged me to fight them, and now it is Zheng Guo again, if you two countries don't suffer a big loss, let me be the first bird. So he said: "The defense of the country and them have no grievances, why should the widows send troops to fight them, and besides, such a small force, can we use the three countries to join forces?" ”

Zheng envoy said: "Your subject country, didn't Fan State let them occupy it? How can you say that there is no injustice and no hatred, let's tell the truth, our Zheng State and Qi State have suffered a small loss in front of them, so I want to join the Three Kingdoms. ”

King Wei thought: It's okay to send troops, but the battlefield can't be set on my side, if you win, you Zheng Guo will grab the territory, and if you lose, we will lose a lot, so he said: "Zheng Envoy, you go back and tell King Zheng that my Wei Guo is willing to send 50,000 troops, which will be dispatched by Zheng Guo to attack King Zhou." ”

Zheng returned to China and reported to King Zheng, saying that King Wei only promised to send 50,000 troops to cooperate, and refused to come forward to attack.

King Zheng convened his ministers to discuss and said: "Qi and Wei promised to send 50,000 troops each, but they refused to come forward to attack. ”

One minister said: "They don't dare to fight Qi and Wei, so why don't we fight either." ”

King Zheng ignored him.

Shen You said: "We have no way out, the king of Zhou has been attacking our city now, if we don't fight, they will come to the door sooner or later, now with 100,000 horses of Qi and Wei, we will send another 50,000, there will be 150,000, this battle is still certain." ”

King Zhou said: "This time, General Shen will lead the troops." ”

Shen You said: "The king, I can't, this time I should choose another meritorious, it's not that the minister is afraid of death, the minister is really not sure to win them, for fear of mistaking the king's affairs, the minister was originally a deputy general, and charged into battle." ”

King Zheng sighed: "General Shen is not sure, who else has?" ”

General Shen said: "Your Majesty, you must think carefully this time, and you can't make a mistake. ”

King Zheng said helplessly: "Disperse the dynasty and discuss it another day." ”

It has been a month since Xiang Yu was assassinated, and now he is free to act. At the same time, the three people sent sent to report that they had won a lot of cities and advanced more than 100 miles to Zheng Guo, and Xiang Yu asked them to go back and tell the generals to fight steadily and steadily, and not to be greedy for merit.

Hua Long said to Xiang Yu: "Big brother, Zheng Guo's vitality has been greatly injured this time, and the army is only 120,000, even if they temporarily recruit some men and horses now, at most 150,000, it is estimated that King Zheng may form an alliance with King Qi and jointly send troops to fight us." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Zheng Guo didn't dare to attack us with the whole country, they were also afraid of being attacked by other countries, now the main thing is that I am injured, otherwise I am not afraid of 100,000." ”

"There's no hurry, it will take at least a month for them to form an alliance, and it's been a month now, but it's another month for them to reorganize their army and set off, and then converge together, and we still have time." Hua Long said.

"Will they flank us in both directions?" Xiang Yu asked.

"It shouldn't be, then King Qi will openly challenge us, and Zheng Guo won't either, he was beaten like that by us last time, knowing that our army has a big impact, he is a little afraid, and he has no advantage in fighting separately." Hua Long said.

"Then we will wait for them here, and I will send more spies to monitor the movements of Zheng Guo's army." Xiang Yu said.

"We lost a few thousand men in the last battle, and now we have a total of 40,000 troops, including the 5,000 led by the princess. In another month, the three-way men and horses we sent out should have no problem collecting 10,000 troops, and the total number of troops will exceed 50,000. Hua Long said.

Xiang Yu said: "This time, except for the Liao State attacked by Liu Hu, which is an independent small country and can collect some troops, the others are all small cities of Zheng State, and there will not be too many garrisons." ”

Hua Long said: "Zheng State is close to the direction of the Zhou Dynasty, connected to the Chu State in the south, and connected to the Liao State and the Tiger State in the north, the Liao State has been taken by Liu Hu, and the Tiger State is the Wei State to the east. It is better to tell Wang Hedong and Lü Fei to stop the attack, retreat to the retreat point, rest the army, and deal with the Zheng army's attack again; Then ask Liu Hu to directly attack the Tiger Country, and after taking it, we will have the eastern territory, just facing the defense of the country, and then do a good job of defense in the Tiger Country. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Just act according to the second brother's plan." ”

After 10 days, Liu Hu came to report that he had captured the Tiger Kingdom, so that the number of Liu Hu's army increased to 18,000; At the same time, Wang Hedong and Lu Fei's men and horses increased to 13,000. Xiang Yu ordered to go down: Liu Hu left 10,000 people to defend, and at the same time played a role in containing and defending the country, and the remaining 8,000 returned to Jiguo City, and Wang Hedong and Lu Fei's men and horses all returned to Jicheng for defense. In this way, the total strength of the defense of Jeseong was 44,000, which was about the same number as the last time Zheng Guo was attacked.

On Zheng Guo's side, King Zheng knew through King Qi that the general who led the army on the side of the Zhou Dynasty was Xiang Yu. King Zheng is now forced to have no choice, don't fight, Xiang Yu is still advancing towards them step by step. Now Qi and Wei have agreed to send 50,000 troops, and they can't say anything if they don't fight, but they seem to be afraid, so they sent envoys to inform Qi and Wei that they also sent 50,000 troops to attack Xiang Yu. Qi and Wei have begun to send troops, Wei Guo is closer, it can be reached in 10 days, Qi is far away, at least 15 days.
