Prisoner Chapter 356 A Game of Chess (5)

Merry Christmas to all book lovers!

It was supposed to resume normal updates from Monday. I didn't expect to get sick all of a sudden. I had two days of injections. It's only recovered a little today. I'm sorry......

――――――――――――――――――――

August of the fourth year of Qin II......

To be exact. Qin II Jing died. The Great Empire also followed the death of the Second Ying Huhai. It became a thing of the past. But the world. Still in extreme chaos. Shandong's. Entrenched in Qi, Wei, Zhao, Chu, and Tang Kingdoms. as well as warlords and princes, large and small; And Guanzhong is slightly stable. But there is an undercurrent surging...... The little princess wins and stays in Hanzhong. Refused to go out of Sichuan for a long time.

Whether Guan Zhong is surnamed or surnamed Liu. I can't be sure.

Although the Liu family and Tang Guojing controlled Guanzhong. But the people of Guanzhong are still waiting.

On the one hand. 500 years of reign of Ying Qin. Let the people hesitate; On the other hand. The strong rise of the Tang Kingdom of the Liu family. It also made the people of Guanzhong feel a little stable. But if you want to close the people. Suddenly changed his surname to Liu. But it's not an easy thing to do. There's a lot going on here. There are emotional factors. There are also military-political reasons. Anyway, I can't decide for a while.

Because of this. Although Ying Huhai is dead. But it is still customary to put this year in the history books. Call it the fourth year of the second dynasty.

The people in Guanzhong are waiting and watching. In the ...... of observation

Chu Xiangtun soldiers in Luoyang. Liu's Tang Kingdom. How will it be coordinated?

For Liu. Obstruction items. It was a test of him by the people of Guanzhong. If qualified. Then he will be able to sit firmly.

If you can't close the people, the people are satisfied. Then the little princess who stayed in Hanzhong won. will coerce the aftermath of the Ying family. Return to Xianyang.

It's not just Liu who knows a little. Many people know this.

The reason why the little princess Yingguo suddenly changed her itinerary and stayed in Hanzhong and refused to leave. I'm afraid there is also the meaning of watching from the sidelines, once you win the fruit and return to Xianyang. Liu will be in an embarrassing situation!

――――――――――――――――――

Early August. Hebei Han Xin waved his troops westward from Julu. swept away the bandits of the Handshang Party. And implement the policy of clearing the wilderness. The remnants of the old Qin who were crisscrossing the Hanshang Party and so on. Caught in a state of embarrassment.

There were nearly 10,000 Qin soldiers who did not go out of the mountain. Surrender to Han Shin.

And Han Xin changed Xiang Yu's previous iron-blooded wrist against the Qin army. Switch to softness.

The remnants of the Qin army did not fail to escape into the Taihang Mountains under the leadership of Qiong. Avoiding Han Xin's edge ......-

Middle. Liu led the department to send a letter to Guguan. Capture Shaanxi County and Chi General Lu Shizhi led troops and horses. Forcibly seize Fenglingdu. Hedong shocked. Han took Chai Wu, the general of the Thorn Pu Army, as the main commander. Stationed in Hedong. Prepare to capture the Fengling Ferry.

Almost on the same day. The soldiers went out of Taiyuan. Lixi Jin Kingdom. The king of the Jin Dynasty. Occupied Shangdang County.

At the same time, King Sima of Jin and King Xie of Zhao reached an alliance. King Zhao ordered Zhao to be the prime minister of Chen. Led his troops to capture Jingguan. The soldiers are directed at the county.

And Sanqi Tian Rong. Abolish Qi Wang Tian fake. Fill somebody's shoes.

Ordered his generals to cross the river from Pingyuanjin. Pounce on the giant deer. Capture the dune platform. Tiger eyes want to seize Julu County

Ordered to stay, Zhang Er. Immediately ask Han Shin for help.

Han Xin is handsome with dragons. Rush to the aid of the giant deer. and sent the general Tran from Hanoi to send troops. Occupy the Huguan.

In just a dozen days. The whole district of Shandong. It's like a mess of porridge. Xiang Yu's front foot had just arrived in Yang. The back foot received the breath of Hebei turmoil. Han Xin swept Hebei. Xiang Yu was not surprised at all. Because this was what he explained to Han Xin; But Sima established himself in the Jin Kingdom. Join forces with King Zhao to make trouble. But it was unexpected by Xiang Yu......

According to Han Xin's war report. A cavalry army of nearly 20,000 men suddenly appeared in Sima's hands. The combat power is extremely powerful.

It's not just Sima. There is also the Ministry of Zhao Wangxie. Han Xin, who also had a strong cavalry army, had a headache about this. Xiang Yu is good at riding and fighting, but the Central Plains has always lacked horses. With the Battle of the Giant Deer, he finally scavenged 20,000 strong horses from Hebei, which was not a blink of an eye. This Sima and Zhao Wangxie's hands. And there were 30,000 cavalry. It's shocking

The cavalry came and went like the wind. Plus well-equipped. made Han Xin a little difficult to deal with.

And Qi Wang Tian Rong sent troops. It made Xiang Yu feel a trace of inexplicable panic......

"It must be the Tang Kingdom of the Liu family. in the back! Xiang Yu jumped like thunder in the Xingyang Mansion. Roaring with indignation.

Fan Zeng's face was gloomy. He looked at Xiang Yu and said, "General." Now is not the time to be angry. The Liu Tang Kingdom was very ambitious. The son of the Tang King Liu. He is a far-sighted person. Just look at him after he withdrew from the building. Every step of the way. Almost everything is in your hands. Xun stood firm in Henan. You can see this person. It's hard to deal with. Now. took advantage of the chaos to seize Guanzhong. It's a must......"

If Fan Zeng is talking about others. Feather will not be prosperous.

That's how you evaluate your opponent. Isn't it to grow the morale of others? Destroy your own prestige?

Can be on Liu. Xiang Yu attached great importance to it. Proud of his martial arts. It seems to be in between. Not to mention Liu's queen. There is also a monster-like existence of Liu Ju; On the Art of War. Xiang Yu also thinks he is good. In particular, the ability to capture fighters. It was revealed in the Battle of the Great Deer. But in the confrontation with Liu. Liu seems to be in the right place: he has the upper hand. made Xiang Yu uncomfortable.

So. This also made Xiang Yu Liu. Invisibly gives birth to a heart of attention

However, Yu Ziqi was a little unconvinced. "That's Liu just a brave man. said that he could persuade Sima and Zhao Xie to send troops. I'm afraid I can't. ”

He sat in the middle of the house. are all Xiang Yu's cronies.

So Yu Ziqi spoke. I don't have any scruples. What's going on in your heart. Say whatever comes out of your mouth......

Fan Zeng said: "Sima and Zhao Xie sent troops. It is obvious that Liu Tang imprinted. Whether it's Ma or Zhao Xie. Those 30,000 war horses. Where did it come from?

Liu Tang is located in Henan

Northern Xinjiang Horse Farm.

Horses in the Central Plains today. More than 60% come from northern Xinjiang. If it was the Liu clan and the Tang Kingdom that sold the horses to Sima, there were some transactions that we don't know about. Otherwise, Sima and Zhao Xie. We will never send troops out without permission. Now. Their dispatch of troops is tantamount to disrupting our layout in Hebei. And the three are ......"

Fan Zeng's face changed. Turning his head, he asked, "What does Mr. Chen think?" ”

Chen Ying groaned. He said softly: "With my understanding of Liu Tang." He is very meticulous in his work. Constant rings are connected. One plan after another

Tian Rong set himself up as king. It may even be related to Liu Tang.

But Tian Rong this. Although ambitious. But after all, the pattern is too small. Not enough to make a big climate. I'm worried...... Liu Tang's posthumous work doesn't stop there. Before he revealed all his tricks. Don't act rashly. You can't fight him without permission. ”

Xiang Yu on this. Yes, there is a deep understanding.

Fan Zeng was quite unimpressed: "Although what Mr. said is my hundreds of thousands of troops. Lodge here. If you don't recapture the pool as soon as possible. If you send Liu Tang back to Hanguguan. I am afraid that I will be ridiculed by the world. Even if it's a truce. It is also necessary to regain the pool.

As for Liu Tang's aftermath...

I can't think of it. What else can he do? ”

Fan Zeng said this. The tone was set.

Chen Ying smiled bitterly in his heart: If King Tang is easy to deal with. How could we be where we are today? I can't think of what he's going to do, that's the most terrible thing. That guy makes a move. It's all out of the blue. Don't wait for him to shine out. You can never know what he thinks.

Start with the building. That's it!

At first, I thought he was going to make a hasty execution. But I don't want to use the building warehouse to carry the weight. A golden cicada came out of its shell.

Although Xiang Liang took advantage. But it is also a loss of soldiers. Most importantly. Liu and his entourage. Smoothly got out of the warehouse.

And then later. Everyone thought he was going north. But he didn't want Wang Li to be defeated. He snatched the river. Stand your ground. Liu Bang attacked Guanzhong. Use Zhao Gao to trap Qin II. The center of the disturbance floats. When he saw his hand, he was beaten by Liu. He also lost his life and single-handedly created a good situation. It turned out to be cheap Liu... It can be said that Liu's luck is good. But it can't be denied either. This Liu's aftermath. It's really amazing. Now the Chu army is pressing. But Liu actually took the lead in provoking the war. Captured such an important party as the pool. It directly threatened Luoyang. Put on a decisive battle.

Is he really going to fight a decisive battle?

Until the last moment, Chen Ying was really unsure......

But what if he was skeptical?

Xiang Yu is also good. Fan Zeng is also very close to him. Even he was a confidant some times. There is always his opinion, intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Ying knew it in her heart. Back then, he pursued Liu without authorization. made Xiang Yu lose his promise. Then he fled back. Xiang Yu Fan Zeng was suspicious. Although on the surface it is affectionate. But actually. His position is even heavier than that of the unborn period.

Think of these. Chen Ying felt a little gloomy.

Keep your mouth shut. No-say.

Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng discussed for another moment. Finalized. Before winter comes. Concentrate your forces. Beat Liu back to Hangu Pass. Once agreed. Start preparing now.

Early the next morning. Xiang Yu topped the armor. Hood straps. Step on Uma. Ready to come out. Travel to Luoyang.

But the army has not yet been raised. I saw a messenger come to Xiang Yuma. Roll the saddle and fall off the horse.

"Admiral Qiyu. Dong Mo will come to deliver the letter. General Xiang Zhuang. General Xiang Zhuang ......"

The messenger was out of breath. Xiang Yu's heart. But suddenly a bad omen was born.

Dong sent someone over. What's the matter?

Xiang Zhuang is my striker and main general. Could it be that something has changed?

"Xiang Zhuang him. What's going on? ”

Xiang Yu asked eagerly on the horse.

The messenger gasped. In a trembling voice: "Two days ago." General Xiang Zhuang arrived in Luoyang.

I heard that the Don army occupied the pool. General Xiang Zhuang was often angry. It is necessary to immediately send troops to recapture the pool. Dong Junshou tried his best to block it. However, General Zhuang did not listen. Insist on sending troops. I don't want the general to just pass Xin'an. When we arrived at Seifeng Mountain. Encountered an ambush by the Don army.

The Don army dug the mouth of the river. Defeat our army.

General Xiang Zhuang is in chaos. Killed by Tang King Liu. General Xiang Bo was captured...... Dong Jun garrisoned the city. Ask the Admiral for help! ”

Xiang Yu was stunned at first. Apparently not able to react immediately.

The pupils in his eyes suddenly converged in one place. A moment later he screamed. Draw your sword. Cut the messenger over it.

His eyes were red. Xiang Yu said viciously: "Don't kill Liu." A certain family vowed not to return the army. The three armed forces obeyed orders. Give me and you're ready to go. Bing Pool! ”

Chen Ying listened to it next to him. But there was a sigh in my heart.

Is Liu really going to fight the general?

Otherwise. Why did he kill Xiang Zhuang. To provoke the general?

But he just arrived in Guanzhong. The main forces are scattered again. It is not suitable for a decisive battle at such a time; But if it's not a decisive battle. What about him?

Wrong. There's definitely something wrong with that......

Come to think of it. Chen Ying opened his mouth to dissuade Xiang from calming.

But when the words come to the lips. He swallowed it back raw. Chen Ying knew it very well. Xiang Yu at this time. Yes, I will never listen to dissuasion. Take the risk of persuasion yourself. I'm afraid that the life of the personality that will fall is difficult to protect. It's not like that. It's better to sit on the sidelines. That Liu ...... What kind of tricks do you want to play!

Thereupon. Chen Ying boarded the chariot.

But I don't know. The moment he boarded the car. A pair of complex. A slightly guilty glint in his eyes. is staring at Chen Ying's back tightly!
