Chapter 43 The army entered the Linjiang River, and the sage broke the illusion at a glance.
Linjiang State is the only ally of Western Chu, and in the battle of Qixia, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, did not betray at the most critical juncture, which is of great significance.
Xiang Tian knew in his heart that he could destroy the current princes at will, but Linjiang Country couldn't.
On the contrary, it is also necessary to continue to favor the Linjiang State, so that the major princes of the world can see how Western Chu treats its allies.
Because doing so is conducive to the change of the situation in the world, it can be said that Linjiang State is the banner set up by Western Chu.
Let the princes of the world see it, so as to turn their backs on Han and Chu, and reverse the general trend of the world in one fell swoop.
These things are too profound for Xiang Sheng, even if Xiang Tian explains, they can't explain it.
……
"What the prince said is extremely true, it is imperative for the army to enter Linjiang, and only if the movement on our side is big enough can we force the major princes to return to their divisions."
Having said that, a flash of shock flashed in Li Zuoche's eyes, he didn't expect that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, thought of this from the beginning.
You must know that since the surrender of Shouchun, Xiang Tian has expressed the intention of the army to go to Linjiang, and at that time Li Zuoche thought that Linjiang was the only ally of Chu State.
Forced to be helpless, the Chu army, like a lost dog, could only go to Linjiang Country to rest, and then go north to the Central Plains, thus stirring up the storm.
But he never thought that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was far-sighted, and he had already thought about everything, and the depth of the layout was simply appalling. Not a single step, it has been deduced a thousand times.
Plan and then act, such a prince of Chu is worthy of a generation of heroes.
"Besides, only in Linjiang Country, we can really rest assured, with Hengshan Country as a barrier, the world is so big, where can our Chu army go."
Li Zuoche's words were extremely arrogant, but he said what was in Xiang Tian's heart, because the Chu army, who had gone through the ordeal, finally had the qualifications to stir up the storm.
With 70,000 Chu troops, the army held by Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, is no less than that of an ordinary small country, and has a decisive influence.
……
Xiang Tian's eyes moved, and he turned to Li Zuoche beside him, and said, "General Li, order the army to take the water route from Anlu to Jingling, and then take the land route to Jiangling."
"No."
……
The 70,000 Chu army marched towards Linjiang State, with a matchless edge that swept the world, but what Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, didn't know was that the world was in chaos because of him at this moment.
The news of the king spread all over the world, and for a time the princes were furious, and the world was in an uproar.
……
Wujiang Daying.
Because too many things happened suddenly, causing the coalition army to drag down to Wujiang, without taking a step, in Huainan Wang returned to Shouchun, Han King Liu Ji just calmed the army's heart.
Just when Liu Ji, the king of Han, was about to set off to Jiangdong and completely cut off the foundation of Western Chu, he unexpectedly Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, made 100,000 Hou Meihong the king of Hengshan.
and the news that Xiang Tianbing, the prince of Chu, entered Yi County without blood, made the coalition camp collectively silent, especially Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, who asked Liu Ji, the king of Han, to help him restore the country.
……
"Ofan, what do you think about Mei Kai being crowned king?"
Han King Liu Ji's face was pale, and his good layout was beaten to pieces, as long as he was an individual, it was impossible to bear it, not to mention that he paid too much price for it.
Now that it's time to harvest, an accident happened, and at this moment, Liu Ji, the king of Han, did not collapse, and he was already determined.
"King, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, forced us to retreat, it seems that we all underestimate this person."
"What!"
With an exclamation, Liu Ji, the king of Han, couldn't help it, and said, "Zifang, do you mean that it was Xiang Tian's own initiative to seal Mei Li as Hengshan Kingdom, not Xiang Yu's order?"
"Haha......"
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping glanced at each other and said, "If King Xiang can make such a decision, Xichu will not fall into this situation."
"Now that the civil and military forces of Western Chu have withered, so the Chu army Fan Zeng has left, and I am afraid that only the prince of Chu has such insight and means in the entire Chu country."
……
"Now that Hengshan Country has changed hands, what do you think you should do with Lone?"
This is a big problem, and it is a problem that Liu Ji, the king of Han, has to admit in front of him.
King Hengshan responded to his call to send troops to the army, and now even the country has been lost, if he does not help Wu Rui to restore the country, it will definitely chill the princes.
For a while, even Zhang Liang, who was as wise as a demon, couldn't think of a solution.
"King, Hengshan is a small country, but Hengshan is a county, and there are not many troops in the city."
Chen Ping smiled and said, "We can let Wu Rui lead the army back to China and compete with Mei Kai for the Hengshan Kingdom, after all, Jiangdong is our henchman."
……
"Great King, what the lieutenant of the Chinese army said is very true, Western Chu is our henchman, whether it is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, or Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, they are all great enemies."
"Only by cleaning up Western Chu can we free up our hands and feet to annex the kings......"
……
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, he always felt that Xiang Tian was very weird, since he broke through the siege, his goal has never been to return to Jiangdong.
The thought flickered in his heart, and the more Zhang Liang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but say to Chen Ping.
"Lieutenant of the Chinese Army, do you have a map of the world there?"
"Yes!"
……
Flipping through the map handed over by Chen Ping, Zhang Liang's eyes were like torches, looking at the direction of Xiang Tian's march since the breakthrough, and after a long time, he sighed heavily.
"The king, immediately order Sanchuan County to guard Lu Ze to strictly guard Hangu Pass and Wuguan, if the minister is not bad, the goal of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, is not to return to Jiangdong in a roundabout way, but to go north to the Central Plains."
Zhang Liang's speculation was too unbelievable, but because of this, Liu Ji, the king of Han, thought it was even more possible.
After all, if Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, has divine help, every step he takes is unexpected, but it is just right, and so on, it is impossible for Liu Ji, the king of Han, not to wake up.
"Ovary, is that true?"
Although Liu Ji, the king of Han, used third-rate soldiers, his insight was extraordinary, and he naturally saw from it the terrible impact of once Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, went north to the Central Plains.
Now most of the coalition forces are dragged in Jiangdong, once the prince of Chu leads 70,000 Chu troops to the north, the world is so big that no one can drag him at all.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji, the king of Han, couldn't help but be anxious.
"Your Majesty, nine times out of ten, it is better to order Lu Ze, the commander of Sanchuan County, to prepare as soon as possible."
Although Zhang Liang did not know how likely it was, it was a necessary awareness of a strategist to take precautions, and even if there were no signs to show it, he also advised Liu Ji, the king of Han, to prepare as soon as possible.
"Chen Ping, immediately through our people, notify Sanchuan County to guard Lu Ze, and deploy heavy troops with Hangu Pass, Wuguan and other places, beware of the prince of Chu going north."
In the end, Liu Ji, the king of Han, still followed Zhang Liang's advice, because he knew the consequences of the Chu army disturbing Guanzhong, because Peng Yue's disturbance of Chu was a lesson from the past.
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Chen Ping turned around and left the big tent, he knew in his heart that Zhang Liang and Liu Ji had made a decision, and it could not be changed at all.
