Wang Li's letter was sent to Xianyang on the morning of the third day of the fifth month, and it was already evening when Hu Hai received it.

And in Jiujiang, on the evening of the second day of the fifth month, Xiang Liang did not wait for Wu Rui's messenger, but waited for Wu Rui, who came in person!

Wu Rui personally came from Poyang County to Dongcheng to see Xiang Liang, and he had clearly expressed his attitude.

And Xiang Liang was first surprised by Wu Rui's personal arrival, and then he was ecstatic, and he didn't care about his disheveled clothes, and ran to the gate of the camp to greet him. Xiang Liang can be like this, which naturally makes Wu Rui feel more face-saving, so the two sides can be said to hit it off when they meet.

Of course, if it were possible, would Wu Rui choose to attach Xiang Liang? Wu Rui also wants to restore the glory of his ancestors! The reason why Wu Rui chose to attach Xiang Liang was also a helpless move!

Zhang Er Chen Yu of Wei was exterminated by Wang Li's 100,000 army in just three days, and Wu Rui was earlier than Xiang Liang wanted to get the news, and Wu Rui also received the news of Hu Hai's three edicts.

Wu Rui is not Li Zuoche, he is an official of Daqin himself, and he knows much more about the court of Daqin than Li Zuoche and others.

Therefore, from Hu Hai's three edicts, Wu Rui was keenly aware that there must have been a drastic change in Guanzhong or the Great Qin Dynasty that no one in the world knew about, and this change made Wu Rui feel a huge crisis.

Zhao Gao didn't care at all, what he cared about was what was behind Zhao Gao's killing by Hu Hai.

Who is Zhao Gao? The teacher of the current Great Qin Emperor Hu Hai, and the teacher who has taught Hu Hai for more than ten years! This is something that the whole world knows. And now that Zhao Gao is dead, why did Hu Hai kill Zhao Gao?

After Hu Hai ascended the throne, he was incompetent and obedient to Li Sizhao's words, and the whole of the Great Qin Dynasty also knew it!

But Zhao Gao is dead!

What's going on here?

It is not a secret that Meng Tian once interrogated Zhao Gao and sentenced Zhao Gao to death, at least the Great Qin Dynasty knew it very well, and the Great Qin Dynasty also knew the relationship between Meng Tian and Li Si.

Meng Tian was detained, and everyone knew that it was Zhao Gao's slander in front of Hu Hai; And when Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin who had a bad relationship with Meng Tian, chose to stand by and watch, and was even suspected of falling into the well, everyone had already decided that the death of Meng Tian's brothers was inevitable.

And now that Zhao Gao has been killed, does it mean that the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi have been released by Hu Hai? Has he returned to the court of Great Qin?

Although Wu Rui didn't want to believe it, she thought in her heart that this possible surname was inevitable!

The brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who were previously considered to be mortal by the world, were released by Hu Hai again, but Zhao Gao, who had a great enmity with Meng Tian, died. It doesn't matter if Zhao Gao dies or Wu Rui, the key is that the great general Meng Tian re-established himself in the Great Qin court.

Meng Tian, who was loyal to Great Qin, returned to the Great Qin court, and there were too many Meng clansmen in the Great Qin army, so Meng Tian had the backbone of the Great Qin army when he returned, and the most elite 300,000 Jiuyuan troops would also be used by Hu Hai.

Of course, there are also the 500,000 Great Qin troops of Baiyue in the South China Sea behind him.

If Great Qin went south, Wu Rui, who was facing a flank attack from front to back, did not think that he could withstand the attack of nearly a million well-armed and well-trained soldiers of Great Qin, not to mention a famous general like Meng Tian.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Rui chose to come to see Xiang Liang in person immediately after meeting Xiang Liang's envoy. He even regretted a little that he had raised an army against Qin, but there was no regret medicine to sell in this world.

After listening to Wu Rui's words, Xiang Liang frowned and did not speak, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.

Wu Rui said that he didn't know anything except that Wang Li's 100,000-strong army had destroyed Zhang Er and Chen Yu.

Why didn't you send this information back?

"If it's really as Lord Fanjun said, there will definitely be a big change in Guanzhong that I don't know." Fan Zeng said solemnly.

"This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, I have already made arrangements, what happened in the land of Guanzhong, I think there will be news from that person soon." Although Xiang Liang's heart was churning, his face was still indifferent.

Fan Zeng and Wu Rui were shocked when they heard Xiang Liang's words, and then stopped talking.

"However, now it seems that we are going to leave this Wang Li and 100,000 Qin people on the north bank of the Huai River!" Xiang Liang said coldly.

If Wang Li really died, or defeated Wang Li's 100,000 army, then with the news obtained by Wu Rui, there would no longer be a single army of Great Qin in the entire Central Plains.

And the counties of the Central Plains will inevitably be able to get the grain and grass urgently needed by the army, especially the armament and equipment. In this way, you can calmly gain time to expand your strength to deal with Great Qin's upcoming counterattack!

Hearing Xiang Liang's words, Fan Zeng and Wu Rui bowed down and said in unison: "Follow the general's orders!" ”

……

Soon, Wu Rui rushed out of the camp with hundreds of horsemen.

Xiang Liang, who was sent to the gate of the camp, watched Wu Rui disappear into the night, and immediately ordered: "The army will immediately pull out the village, go north to Zhongli (now Fengyang, Anhui Province), and build a raft from Zhongli to cross the river!" Order the young general to lead the army to Zhongli to join the army! ”

With Xiang Liang's order, the 80,000 army pulled out of the village and opened the camp and went straight to Zhongli.

Zhongli is less than fifty miles away from Dongcheng, although Zhongli is geographically in the middle reaches of the Huai River like Shouchun, but Zhongli is nearly two hundred miles away from Shouchun.

Xiang Liang's whole army marched quickly, and arrived at Zhongli two hours later.

The small county town of Zhongli was naturally down in an instant in front of Xiang Liang's army of 80,000. After taking Zhongli, Xiang Liang sent people around to collect ships while cutting down trees to build rafts.

When Xiang Yu's 8,000 cavalry arrived at Zhongli more than an hour later, the banks of the Huai River near Zhongli were already full of people, and more than 10,000 of Xiang Liang's 80,000 troops had crossed the Huai River first.

Leaving more than 2,000 old and weak to garrison Zhongli, when the sky was just dawning, Xiang Liang's 80,000 troops crossed the Yellow River in batches. After crossing the Huai River, Xiang Liang ordered Xiang Yu to lead 8,000 cavalry first, and then led the army up the river to Wang Li's army upstream.

When Xiang Liang led the army to march quickly, Wu Rui did not stop.

The time when Wu Rui arrived from Dongcheng to Shouchun was almost the same as the time when Xiang Yu arrived at Zhongli. Although Yingbu was very surprised by the arrival of his father-in-law Wu Rui, he still handed over the military power very happily.

Yingbu can't help it if he doesn't make friends, Wu Rui's prestige among the Baiyue barbarians is far more than him. But Wu Rui did not ask Yingbu for the military power in his hands, and told Yingbu about his and Xiang Liang's plan as it was.

Although he was not very clear about the reason why Wu Rui suddenly joined Xiang Liang, Yingbu knew that even if he didn't agree, he couldn't do anything, not to mention that he still admired the Xiang clan in Chudi, so he didn't resist it too much.

Similarly, Yingbu also thinks that following the Xiang clan may be more promising than Wu Rui. Because after he raised the army, he instigated Wu Rui to become king, but Wu Rui did not agree, which made Yingbu very dissatisfied.

When the sky was bright, Yingbu led an army of 50,000 people straight to Shouchun.

Seeing the dense army of tens of thousands of ** barbarians covered with hideous tattoos rushing over with roaring and screaming, for some reason, Shou Shangqi of Jiujiang County suddenly felt inexplicably relieved in his heart.

Since April 30, when he received more than 100,000 barbarian troops to the vicinity of Shouchun, Shang Qi has not slept peacefully for a day. But the barbarian army is just entrenched near Shouchun and does not attack, like a sharp sword hanging around his neck, and no one knows when he will fall.

Shang Qi also knew that there was a Qin army on the other side of the river, but obviously the Qin army on the other side could not cross the river at this time, and the far water could not quench the thirst of the near. For three days, Shang Qi has been struggling between descending and not descending, and he has suffered a lot.

At this moment, seeing that the barbarian rebels had finally attacked, Shang Qi, who was relieved in his heart, finally made up his mind, and said indifferently: "Pass the order, the county guards will live and die together in Shouchun!" If you want to leave, go down to the city now! ”

Hearing Shang Qi's words, most of the few county guards on the city wall, who were already flustered, rushed away. Most of the rest were Great Qin officials at all levels in Jiujiang and Shouchun.

It's not that they don't want to go, Hu Hai's three edicts have already reached Shouchun, and they know very well that with the strength of Great Qin's awakening, these rebels will definitely not be Great Qin's opponents.

But if they surrender, then when Daqin destroys the rebels and settles accounts after the autumn, it will affect their own family, and it is better to exchange their own death for the continuation of the family.

In less than an hour, Shouchun changed hands!

Jiujiang County, from the county guard Shangqi to the following, including the Shouchun County Order, dozens of Great Qin officials and hundreds of county soldiers were all killed in battle!

When Shouchun was captured by Yingbu, Xiang Liang's army of 80,000 advanced less than fifty miles, and it was these fifty miles that had exhausted the entire army and complained about it. The drawbacks of not being well trained are exposed at this time.

Under Xiang Liang's strong order, the 80,000 army marched for less than 60 miles in three hours, saying nothing and not leaving. In desperation, Xiang Liang had no choice but to find a place to camp and rest, but it was strictly forbidden for the whole army to make a fire to cook, and he could only eat the dry food prepared before to satisfy his hunger.

There are still at least a hundred miles away from Wang's army, and if he can't arrive in time when Wu Rui's army crosses the river at night, then not only will this plan be finished, but his 80,000 army and Wu Rui's more than 100,000 barbarian army will face the danger of being broken by the 100,000 elites of the Qin army.

That's when everyone is done!

Xiang Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so the army that had rested for less than two hours was called up by Xiang Liang again, and continued to use the speed of a turtle crawling to stop and stop and advance towards the place where Wang Li's camp was.

Shouchun's shouts of killing were clearly audible in the Qin army scouts cruising on the other side of the Huai River, and they immediately reported to Wang Li.

Wu Rui's rebels did not attack Shouchun in the first two days, why did they attack Shouchun early in the morning today? Wang Li sat in the big tent and pondered. Could it be that the rebels are already preparing to cross the river?

Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Wang Li's eyes.

"Herald! The scout battalion immediately exhausted the whole army, and went up and down the Huai River for fifty miles to investigate closely, and as soon as there was news that the rebels had crossed the river, they would immediately fly horses to hug them! Wang Li commanded loudly.

"Whoa!" The guards immediately took the order.

As the descendant of the famous generals Wang Jian and Wang Ben, and now the patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Li has his pride!

It's getting dark!
