June 11 of the first year of Great Qin II.

Major General Xiang Yu personally led 100,000 Baiyue barbarians out of Chen County, preparing to go east through Donghai County and go straight to Langya, Linzi and Jiaodong counties.

Xiang Liang divided most of his troops to the east, and handed over to Xiang Yu to personally lead the army, and the goal was naturally for the grain and weapons in the three warehouses of Langya Cang in Langya County, Huangcang in Linzi County, and Jiaodong County.

Originally, Xiang Liang asked Xiang Yu to lead the army from Dangjun to the north, first taking the grain of Chen Liucang in Dangjun, and then going east out of Xue County and Jibei to Langya, and then Linzi and Jiaodong.

But seeing that the excitement on Xiang Yu's face when he heard that he was leading the army eastward gradually disappeared after he arranged the marching route, Xiang Liang finally changed his mind.

Xiang Liang directly asked Xiang Yu to lead the army to capture the counties along the way of Surabaya County, and sent troops to receive them, and then went east from Surabaya to Donghai County, and then changed the route from the East China Sea to the north to Langya County and Jiaodong County, and finally captured the original capital of Qi State, now Linzi County of Daqin.

In Xiang Liang's plan, after Xiang Yu's army captured Linzi, it would eventually form a southeast flank with the army he led and take Sanchuan County directly!

If Sanchuan County is down, then Shandong and other places east of Hangu Pass in Daqin are equivalent to being directly gone.

The two armies are combined, as long as Hangu Pass can be quickly captured, then Great Qin is equivalent to saying that he has completely opened his chest to the restored Chu State or the remnants of the Six Kingdoms!

The period of destruction is just around the corner!

One of the very important reasons why Xiang Liang finally changed his plan was because of the Yu clan in Donghai County, of course, in Xiang Yu's opinion, his uncle chose the second, more distant and difficult road to the east in order for him to meet his sweetheart Yu Ji.

The Yu clan had already lived in Xiapi County in the East China Sea when the Chu State was still there, and the Yu clan gradually became the East China Sea Wang clan because of the exquisite craftsmanship of building weapons in the clan!

It is also because of the exquisite skills of the Yu family, whether it is after the fall of the Chu State or before the fall of the Chu State, the Xiang family has always been friendly with the Yu family who lived in the East China Sea for generations!

In the battle of Great Qin to destroy Chu, the Chu State disappeared countless nobles of the same size as the Yu clan, but because the Yu clan deviated from the Central Plains and lived in the remote place of the East China Sea, they finally escaped the catastrophe and were not affected by the massacre after the destruction of Chu by Great Qin.

Not long after the Yu clan was relieved by the final compromise of the remaining nobles of Chu to Great Qin and Great Qin's subsequent pacification strategy, this was followed by the edict of the First Emperor to "collect all the soldiers of the world and gather in Xianyang".

Along with this edict of "collecting all the soldiers of the world gathered in Xianyang", there was also an edict to gather craftsmen from all over the world in Xianyang.

Gather craftsmen from all over the world to Xianyang, firstly, in order to have enough manpower to melt down these countless pieces of copper and iron weapons collected from all over the world, and also to build the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum of the First Emperor!

As a Yu clan that started by casting weapons, under the two consecutive edicts of the First Emperor, it suddenly declined!

The collection of the world's soldiers also announced that in the territory of Daqin, in addition to the right of Daqin Shangfang to build copper and iron weapons and ordinary living utensils in the future, many families in Daqin who are mainly engaged in casting will directly face the catastrophe of annihilation.

The weapons that were originally the main business of the family can no longer be cast, and a large number of craftsmen in the family have been sent to Xianyang in Guanzhong, so how can those nobles who started with casting survive?

This move not only cut off the foundation of many wealthy families whose main profits, including the Yu family, but also directly cut off all their branches and vines!

After this incident, the Yu clan, which was originally the East China Sea Wang clan, was completely defeated!

By the time Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu fled to their hometown in Jiangdong and Huiji County, the originally huge Yu clan of the Donghai Wang clan was only a little better off with ordinary people!

Originally, there were almost 1,000 craftsmen in the heyday, and there were only less than 100 people left in the Yu clan, and they were scattered all over Xiapi County, completely becoming a mess of scattered sand.

Yu Ji is the daughter of Yu Tong, the titular head of the Yu clan in this generation!

In addition to Yu Ji, Yu Tong also has a son, that is, Yu Ji's brother Yu Ziqi!

Yu Ji's elder brother Yu Zi period is the Yu Zi period in the original history with Long Ji, Ji Bu, Yingbu, Zhong Liwu, and the four people known as the "Five Tiger Generals" under Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

However, in today's history, Xiang Liang, who should have not raised troops at this moment, has crossed the Huai River, and Xiang Yu, who should have gathered the "Five Tiger Generals" after crossing the Huai River, is now only the fierce general Long He, who grew up together since childhood and is a childhood sweetheart!

Xiang Liang is not dead yet, Yingbu, as Wu Rui's daughter-in-law, is still in the same status as Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu, who has not yet taken over the throne, naturally cannot let Yingbu, who is extremely proud and conceited, be willing to be a general under his command at this moment!

Zhong Liwei, who was supposed to take refuge in Xiang Yu, was on his way to the west at the moment! Haven't passed the Hangu Pass yet!

And Zhong Liwei is a childhood sweetheart with Han Xin, who is now a general, and the purpose of Zhong Liwei's westward journey is naturally self-evident!

Zhong Liwei, who was supposed to die at the hands of Han Xin in history, is obviously going to fight side by side with his brother in this life!

History, under the influence of Hu Hai, has completely deviated from the original track, and no one knows what great changes will happen next and where it will go!

Yu Ji and Xiang Yu are not familiar with each other at the moment, and they can even be said to be a little unfamiliar, and the words that the two of them have spoken together at this moment are estimated to be counted in the palm of one hand.

When Xiang Liang sent Xiang Yu to the Yu clan in the East China Sea to discuss the casting of weapons after Xiang Liang raised his troops, Xiang Yu saw Yu Ji for the first time, who had already shown her alluring appearance not long ago!

Xiang Yu was shocked when he saw it, but because Yu Tong, who was the patriarch of the Yu clan, had always had an ambiguous attitude, Xiang Yu did not stay in the Yu clan for too long, and returned depressed.

Yu Tong is very aware of the strength of Great Qin and Xiang Liang's strength, so he is very hesitant about Xiang Liang's opinion that he invited his Yu clan to build weapons for the Xiang clan's army to jointly oppose Qin!

Although Great Qin can be said to be the culprit behind the defeat of the Yu clan, Great Qin is not just targeting the Yu clan, but the entire world!

For this point, Yu Tong still sees it very clearly!

Regarding Xiang Liang's rebellion against Qin, Yu Tong was not optimistic in his heart. In his opinion, at the beginning, Great Qin was able to defeat the stubborn and well-trained Chu army led by the world's famous general Xiang Yan, which had nearly one million people, so now whether it is from the perspective of generals, soldiers, or weapons, etc., even Xiang Liang, who was not worthy of lifting shoes for the Chu State at that time, has no chance of winning from where he looks!

Although Yu Tong also wants to restore the glory of the Yu clan in the past, restoring the glory of the family is obviously more important than Xiang Liang's promise of "flowers in the mirror"!

Xiang Yu's army traveled all the way, and now it is almost equal to the undefended land of Chen County, Surabaya County, and Donghai County, and all the counties along the way are all looking forward to the wind.

Xiapi County naturally also received the news that the Chu army of the Xiang clan had come!

The Xiapi County Order commanded officials at all levels in Xiapi, as well as Yu Tong, Yu Ziqi and nearly 100 Yu clansmen, quietly waiting at the gate of Xiapi County, where the city gate was wide open!

There was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and a young general with a thick three-zhang spear in his hand and black armor like a god appeared on the avenue in front of the city, and was galloping straight towards the county seat of Xiapi!
