Chapter 57: Lu Pheasant's Courage

It is a matter of life and death, no one will take it lightly, as soon as Lu Pheasant got the news, he hurriedly left everything behind, immediately came out of Xianyang Palace, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion desperately.

At this moment, Lu Pheasant's expression was solemn, she knew that Liu Jiyuan, the king of Han, was thousands of miles away, and Prime Minister Xiao He would not easily enter the palace, let alone see herself.

Prime Minister Xiao He is a Confucian student, who respects Confucian etiquette like a god, and now that Liu Ji, the king of Han, is not here, he will never enter the palace frequently, so rumors are all over the world.

Now that Prime Minister Xiao He is unusual, he invited himself to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Lu Pheasant, who has a keen sense of political smell, instantly noticed that something big must have happened to the Han Kingdom.

Otherwise, Prime Minister Xiao He would definitely not risk the disapproval of the world and send someone to invite him to come over the house.

Lu Pheasant knew the sensitivity of his identity in his heart, and the important ministers of the Han State avoided him. As the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, one person is below ten thousand people, Xiao He will never take this risk.

……

"Prime Minister, what are you inviting this palace to talk about? Could it be that something happened to the king? ”

Shaking his head, Xiao He denied Lu Pheasant's speculation, he looked at Lu Pheasant, and said, "Queen, the king is fine, and he is attacking Jiangdong in Wujiang, intending to destroy Chu in one fell swoop."

Under Lu Pheasant's puzzled look, Xiao He paused word by word and said: "The king and the king of Qi set up a shocking situation, and gathered 700,000 allied troops under the wall with the intention of destroying Chu in one fell swoop."

"As a result, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, broke through the encirclement, crossed the river, and contained the king in Jiangdong."

At the same time, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, broke through the siege and led his army to break through the ten-sided ambush of Han Xin, the king of Qi, beheaded the infant, and forced Li Zuoche to surrender. He even killed Fan Hao and defeated 100,000 Han troops. ”

……

As Prime Minister Xiao He continued to narrate, Lu Pheasant's face changed unpredictably, like a face-changing stunt. The performance of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was as dazzling as a comet, which moved Lu Pheasant.

"Prince Chu broke through Wanxian County, Nanyang County, captured Lu Shizhi, the county guard, and then broke through Wuguan to kill Zhou Chang and all the Han army, and pointed to Xianyang."

……

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Lu Pheasant is worthy of being a woman who can't hold her head up to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, she is brave enough to ignore others, and when she heard Xiao He's narration, she instantly suppressed the shock in her heart.

Seeing Lu Pheasant, who calmed down in an instant and became sensible, Prime Minister Xiao He also bowed slightly, what he was most afraid of was that Lu Pheasant panicked.

"The king ordered the county guards of Longxi County, Beidi County, Shang County, Hanzhong County, and Sanchuan County to lead troops to support Xianyang."

He took a deep look at Lu Pheasant, Prime Minister Xiao He, and said, "The minister thinks that he should give up some unimportant cities and concentrate on guarding Xianyang."

"Most of the main forces of our army followed the king south to destroy Chu, but it was more than enough to defend a Xianyang, although the Chu army had the potential to break through the Wuguan and sweep the Guanzhong, but after the next battle, there must not be many Chu troops in the hands of the prince of Chu."

……

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant flashed a fine light in his pupils, looked at Prime Minister Xiao He, and said, "Prime Minister, how do you need this palace to cooperate?"

Now, the situation in Guanzhong is as dangerous as a tired egg, Xiao He did not have the slightest friction, and directly said to Lu Pheasant.

"Whether Xianyang can hold it or not, no one can say until the last minute, the minister needs the queen to sit in the palace and appease the prince and other royal families."

"Once nothing can be done, immediately go south to Shu County to preserve the foundation for the king's revival."

……

The thought flickered in her heart, Lu Pheasant was not an ordinary person, and in an instant, she knew the taboo in Prime Minister Xiao He's heart, so she nodded and said.

"The prime minister can rest assured, the palace will never drag the prime minister back, but until the end, the king's family must not go south to Shu County, otherwise Guanzhong will lose the hearts of the people."

"No."

……

Lu Pheasant left, but the shock in Xiao He's heart still did not fade, and at this moment, he felt the pressure brought by Lu Pheasant.

"It is worthy of being the backbone of the Lu family, and this courage and decisiveness are probably not inferior even compared to the king."

The thought flickered in his heart, and Xiao He suddenly found that there were many contradictions in the Han Kingdom, and between Liu Ji, the king of Han, and Empress Lu, this was simply a dead knot.

With such determination and courage, how could Empress Lu be willing to be ordinary, at this moment, Xiao He found that they had always underestimated Empress Lu.

If it was clear that Lu Pheasant had such determination and courage, he should spare no effort to suppress the Lu family and prevent the Lu family from growing.

Now that the Lu family is rooted in all aspects of the Han Kingdom, they have already become a behemoth, and even Liu Ji, the king of Han, does not dare to move lightly.

Throughout the Han Kingdom, the LΓΌ clan and the Liu clan fought against each other.

……

Because of Xiao He's series of orders, Xiang Tianzi was given instead, and he went north from Wuguan, and he did not encounter resistance at all along the way.

"Prince, according to the results of our interrogation, all the defenders of Lantian and Bashang have been transferred back to Xianyang, and it seems that the Han court has received the news that our army has broken through Wuguan."

Glancing at Li Zuoche, Xiang Tian pointed to the map and said, "This is inevitable, not only the Han court has received the news, but I am afraid that the same is true of Liu Ji, the king of Han who is far away in Wujiang."

"This is Guanzhong, the base camp of Liu Ji, the king of Han, and the news of our army can't be hidden here at all, and it is only a matter of time before they know about it."

"Now that the defenders of Lantian and Bashang have been transferred to Xianyang, it seems that the Han court plans to abandon the car to protect the commander, abandon Lantian, and defend the land with all its might."

……

"Hmm."

Nodding, Li Zuoche said: "It seems that there is no shortage of capable people in the Han court, the main force of the Han army is far away in Jiangdong, and once the troops are scattered, they will only be broken by the prince one by one."

"On the contrary, Xianyang is the capital of Qin, after several generations of repairs, it can be said that it is a unique fortified city in the world, gathering a large army in Xianyang, our army can not be broken in a short time."

Xiang Tian knew that what Li Zuoche said was right, the Chu army under his command was all cavalry, and he was not afraid of anyone in the world in the wilderness, even if the overlord of Western Chu was in person, he might not be able to defeat him.

However, the shortcomings of the cavalry are extremely obvious, lacking siege equipment and foot soldiers, and in the face of a giant city like Xianyang, they can only sigh.

The thought flickered in his heart, Xiang Tian's eyes sank, and said: "I'm afraid that not only will the troops in the internal history be transferred, but also the Han army in Longxi County, Beidi County, Shang County, Sanchuan County, Hanzhong County and other places will definitely move when they hear the wind."

"Once the Han army arrives in various places, our army is in danger!"

After being silent for a moment, Chu Prince Xiang Tian turned his head towards Li Zuoche and said.

"Left Che, immediately rectify the army, go north to Zhiyang non-stop, and forcibly break Zhiyang when the reinforcements from the counties have not arrived, taking advantage of the emptiness of Xianyang's troops to shrink the defense."

"Before the arrival of the Han army in various places, worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and then the army will go north to Beidi County."

"No."

Nodding his head in agreement, Li Zuoche turned around and left, he knew in his heart that this was a race against time, and if he took a step slowly, he would most likely fall into the encirclement of the Han army.
