Chapter 164: The Great General
Xiong Xin waited in this contradiction and anxiety, Xiang Liang finally entered the lobby of the Pengcheng County Office. Looking up, Xiang Liang saw Xiong Xin sitting on the wooden couch, seeing his face, quite the style of the king back then, Xiang Liang sighed in his heart, he bowed his hand, and said: "Therefore, the son of Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, Xiang Liang pays a visit to the king of Chu!" ”
"You don't have to be polite, think back to the past, General Xiang Yan fought bravely for my Chu country, and was not afraid of strong Qin, and he was a loyal minister in the hearts of the people of my old Chu. The widow also often misses the demeanor of General Xiang Yan back then, and the oath of the death of Qin Bichu still echoes in the ears of the widow. Seeing you today, the widow is very pleased, the Xiang family is the nobles of our Chu State, and now whether it is against Qin or rebuilding the Chu State, it is inseparable from the Xiang family. Xiong Xin's words did not hide the meaning of wooing Xiang Liang at all.
Liu Yuan on the side frowned, this small action seemed to be noticed by Xiong Xin, and the latter said again: "Of course, the widow ascended to the king, Liu Yuan contributed a lot, you two are the right-hand men of the widow, and you need to cooperate with each other in the future to fight against Qin." ”
Xiang Liang didn't expect Xiong Xin to be so tactful, and his words were all righteous Ling Ran. However, Xiong Xin's sincerity was just a trade-off in his opinion. If Xiang Liang hadn't been for the hearts of the people of Chu and the reputation of the Xiang family, how could he have come to see Xiong Xin?
What the king said, Liang naturally understood. There was a misunderstanding with Pei Gong before, and he also looked forward to Pei Gong Haihan. Xiang Liang smiled slightly and said.
Liu Yuan knew that Xiang Liang had great ambitions, so he would naturally not be confused by his appearance, and he also said with a smile: "Xiang Liang Gong said that he was laughing, he was also under the account of the King of Chu, how could Yuan account for the past." After a pause, he saluted to Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, again and said: "There is still something to tell the king, last night my Peijun found out that the general Li You under the infant account of Qin Guozi has arrived in Xiangxian County, and within a few days, this Li You will be in the city. ”
"Li You's army?" Xiong Xin's body trembled, and he muttered to himself, "How can this be? Instead, he looked at Liu Yuan and asked hurriedly, "Do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
Liu Yuan suddenly looked at Xiang Liang and said, "Duke Xiang Liang has stationed 10,000 Xiang family troops outside the city, are you willing to send troops to destroy Li You for the king, so as to boost my great Chu Xiongfeng?" ”
"Yes, Xiang Liang, at this moment, the Xiang family army is still needed to fight for the widow." Xiong Xin looked at Xiang Liang expectantly, he also knew that although he was the king of Chu, he had no military power, this was a weakness, Xiong Xin was under the pressure of Li You, and he did not have the previous solemnity and calmness, and said in a panic.
Hearing this, Xiang Liang did not answer in a hurry, Liu Yuan pushed his Xiang family army to the front, nothing more than to use Li You to consume the strength of Xiang Jiajun. Liu Yuan This is an obvious conspiracy, it depends on whether he accepts Xiang Liang or not.
Xiang Liang is also hesitating, if he sends troops, he will be injured, and if he does not send troops, people in the world will only laugh at the strong Xiang Jiajun, and will not blame the relatively weak Liu Yuan. Xiang Liang raised his eyes again and looked at Liu Yuan, who had some scheming minds under the latter's delicate face.
However, seeing that Xiang Liang had been silent, Xiong Xin was indeed anxious. He had just ascended to the throne, and he hadn't taken revenge yet, so he naturally didn't want to be destroyed by Li You. He suddenly decided: "If you send troops to fight against Li You, the position of the general of the Chu State will be granted to you." ”
"What?" Liu Yuan was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Xiong Xin to be so impatient and use the position of a general to lure Xiang Liang.
"The king can rest assured, my Xiang family army is the division of the Chu State, and it will be the first to fight against Li You." Xiang Liang smiled heartily and hurriedly dispatched troops. The position of the general of the Chu State, this title alone can make the Xiang family the head of the nobles of the Chu State, and it is also justified, Xiang Liang will naturally not give up this opportunity.
Xiang Liang's heart was much more comfortable, Xiong Xin's words made him turn around, and all Liu Yuan's calculations disappeared. Xiong Xin did him a great favor, Xiang Liang glanced at Liu Yuan with a smile.
Liu Yuan sighed in a low voice, and after calculating it, he still made this Liang a general. However, even so, Liu Yuan is acceptable, at least after Xiang Liang became a general, he faced much less pressure from the Qin army. Don't forget that Li You is only the vanguard army, and there is also Meng Tian's army behind it. What's more, if Xianyang also sends troops to conscript, then Zhang Han, a famous historical general, will also show his strength. At that time, it was the time when the Qin State really exerted its strength. With Xiang Liang coming out, Liu Yuan can also accept this result.
"Liu Yuan's merit is a deputy general." Seeing Liu Yuan's displeased, Xiong Xin also spoke again.
Xiang Liang met Xiong Xin for the first time, and he had already taken the position of general, and then the three discussed some details. Under Liu Yuan's strong refusal, Xiang Liang's proposal to ask Xiang Jiajun to enter the city could only be abandoned. It is impossible for Liu Yuan to give up Peng Cheng and control Peng Cheng, so that he can have the capital to sit on an equal footing with Xiang Liang. Once the Xiang family's army enters the city, with Xiang Liang's means, the control of the big and small families in the city and Xiong Xin will fall into his hands, and at that time, Liu Yuanke will be in danger.
In Donghai County, Liu Yuan also agreed to withdraw Cao Shen, and similarly, Fan Zeng would not continue the pursuit. At the same time, in order to fight against Li You, Xiong Xin issued a letter calling on the forces of the old Chu to gather in Pengcheng to fight back together.
Xiang Liang went out of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu was also relieved, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" That Xiong Xin and Liu Yuanke have ever embarrassed you? ”
"Let's go, let's go back to the camp." Xiang Liang smiled.
Immediately, the Xiang family's army outside Pengcheng slowly collected their troops and returned to the camp. Above the city tower, Zhou Bo saw this, and said in a low voice: "Lord, this Liang is now the general of the Chu State, and my Peijun is afraid that he will also be restrained." ”
"This general is just a false name, Xiang Liangfei cares about Xiong Xin, and I believe Xiong Xin also knows this. However, this bear's heart is so impatient, and it is also very surprising to me. Liu Yuan stood with his hands in his hands and said in a deep voice.
"It's still the lord who sees it thoroughly." Zhou Bo postscript.
"I'm not the only one who has seen it thoroughly. Okay, let's go and prepare, Li You will come soon, and this battle must not be sloppy. Liu Yuan also waved his hand and ordered.
After Xiang Liang and the others returned to the big tent, they told everyone about the general. This sudden news made Xiang Yu and the others excited.
"Uncle, rest assured, my nephew's injury is about to recover, and this time I will break Li You for my uncle." Xiang Yu said with confidence.
"We are willing to make meritorious contributions to the general." Ji Bu and the others also said in unison.
Xiang Liang knew that in this battle against Li You, his own Xiang family army was the main force, and once he won this battle, his reputation would be more stable under the name of a general.
He ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and at the same time sent cavalry to investigate Li You's movements. This battle will be won! Xiang Liang immediately ordered.
