"Fifty thousand cavalry?!" Zhou Yin's face also changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down as before, and said indifferently, "Most of the land of Huaisi is mountainous and hilly, and there are many rivers and lakes, no matter how many cavalry there are, it is useless." ”

Zhou Huan frowned, and said, "Father, did you ride to Jin She and Li Zuoche for help?" ”

Although Zhou Yin's relationship with Jin She and Li Zuoche is not good, everyone is nominally a Han army after all, and in the face of the Chu army, I believe that Jin She and Li Zuoche will still send troops to rescue each other.

Zhou Yin waved his hand and said indifferently: "You don't have to. ”

After saying this, Zhou Yin said again: "Since Xiang Zhuang's army is all cavalry, and there is not even a heavy car, it is impossible to carry heavy equipment such as ladders, wells, and siege vehicles with the army, which also shows that Xiang Zhuang has no intention of attacking the city and plundering land in Jiujiang County. ”

The old camp of the Chu army was set up in the depths of Dabie Mountain, and Zhou Yin had actually spied on it a long time ago.

However, no matter what, Zhou Yin was once the great Sima of the Western Chu State, so Zhou Yin did not kill the hundreds of remnants of the Chu army and thousands of women and children in the old camp in the deep mountains.

Zhou Huan said: "Father is saying that Xiang Zhuang's army will not come to attack Jiujiang?" ”

"At least not yet!" Zhou Yin said this, and said, "At present, the situation in Jiangdong is chaotic, Xiang He, Xiang Tuo and Xiang Guan each have their own abacus, each has its own supporters, if I were Xiang Zhuang, I would never attack Jiujiang at this time, and now the most important thing is to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, that is, the throne of Chu, and control the overall situation!" ”

Zhou Huan suddenly realized and said, "Father, the current Jiangdong is really chaotic enough. ”

After saying this, Zhou Huan suddenly said again: "Father, did we secretly send someone to tell Xiang Zhuang about the situation in Jiangdong?" In this way, it is even more impossible for Xiang Zhuang to stay in Jiujiang for more. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yin nodded happily and said, "You can arrange it." ”

"Whoa!" Zhou Huan shook Yin Yi and took the order.

Dabie Mountain, the old camp of the Chu army.

Xiang Zhuang looked at Yu Ji deeply and said respectfully, "See Madame." ”

Wei Yue and Ying Zhen, who were following behind Xiang Zhuang, also bowed down and saluted Yu Ji, but Wei Yue was already more than five months pregnant, and her belly was already very high, so she couldn't bow down.

Yu Ji still looked cold and cold, just lightly returning the salute.

Even the appearance of Wei Yue and Ying Zhen failed to arouse her curiosity.

On the way back to the old camp, Zhong Liwu had already told Xiang Zhuang about Yu Ji's recent situation, since Xiang Zhuang left Dabie Mountain with the main force of the Chu army, Yu Ji really never said a word, and there was no smile on her face, it seemed that her heart had really died with Xiang Yu's disappearance.

Xiang Zhuang felt a little inexplicable emotion in his heart, Yu Ji's current situation is a typical mourning is greater than heart death, although her person is still alive, but her heart has died with Xiang Yu, the reason why she is still alive and well is probably for Xiang Yu's "live well" advice, right?

It seems that the love between Xiang Yu and Yu Ji is really deep and sincere!

The story of Farewell My Concubine can be passed down through the ages, and it is not without reason!

Coming out of Yu Ji's hut, Xiang Zhuang instructed Zhong Liwu again: "General Zhongli, immediately count your bags and take all the women and children back to Jiangdong with me." ”

"Whoa!" Zhong Li shook his eyes and took the order.

Pengcheng, Huainan Palace.

Huainan Wang Yingbu raised his wine and said respectfully: "Prime Minister of State, Tanma returns, Xiangzhuang's army has entered Jiujiang, do you think you will fight with Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche?" If they really fight, can we take the opportunity to take the counties of Yinling, Zhongli, and Quyang in the northeast of Jiujiang County? ”

Kuaicher replied, covered his face with his sleeves and drank all the water and wine in the wine buds, and then said, "My lord, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”

Yingbu said puzzledly: "Prime Minister, why? ”

Kui Che said: "Because Jiujiang can't fight at all." ”

Saying this, Kui Che said again: "Xiang Zhuang is not Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu is uninhibited, wild and uninhibited, he prefers to do things spontaneously, and never considers the consequences, but Xiang Zhuang is thoughtful, forbearant and ruthless, and prefers to plan and then act when doing things, with the current situation, Xiang Zhuang will definitely not fight with Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche in Jiujiang. ”…,

"That's right." Yingbu nodded, and said, "Prime Minister, Xiang He should almost arrive in Wuzhong, right?" ”

Kui Che said: "Calculating the time, Xiang He should almost go to Wuzhong." ”

Yingbu said: "But there is one thing that the widow has never figured out, although Xiang is younger than Xiang Zhuang, but he is the real Xiang clan, unlike Xiang Tuo and Xiang Guan, who are only given surnames, the minister of state put Xiang He back to Jiangdong, he crossed the river in Xiangzhuang, once the uncle and nephew join forces, I am afraid that Xiang Tuo and Xiang Guan will not be able to parry, right?" Doesn't that make things clearer? ”

Kuaiche waved his hand and said slowly: "King, the pattern of Jiangdong is not so simple. ”

"Oh?" Yingbu couldn't help but be interested, and said, "Prime Minister, why don't you analyze and analyze the widow?" ”

Kuaiche nodded happily and said: "The power structure of Jiangdong can be roughly divided into three forces, one is the old Chu clan headed by the Xiang clan, and the other is the Kwantung clan who fled from Jiangbei, Xiang Tuo's father clan is one of them, the third is the local Haoqiang clan in Jiangdong, and Xiang Guan's father Lu clan is the largest clan in Wuzhong!" ”

"The clan, the clan, the clan?" Yingbu was suddenly confused.

Kui Che hurriedly explained: "The so-called Shi clan refers to a famous family like the Xiang clan that has lasted for several generations, and the Shi clan refers to the big family that has just risen in this generation, such as the Juchao Fan clan and the Wu Zhonglong clan, all of which can be regarded as the Shi clan. ”

Yingbu nodded, and said, "So, what about the clan?" ”

Kui Che said: "The so-called clan, refers to a large number of clans of the same clan, clans live in clusters, and there are many dock forts, like a country within a country, there are many clans in Jiangdong, large clans often tens of thousands of people, the smallest clan also has thousands of people, these clans have great influence in Jiangdong!" ”

Saying this, Kui Che said again: "When Xiang Liang raised his army, in order to get the support of the Lu clan, the largest clan in Wuzhong, he accepted the eldest grandson of the Lu clan as his fake son, and gave him the surname Xiang, this is Xiang Guan, it is precisely because Xiang Liang accepted Xiang Guan as his false son, and the Lu family in Wuzhong sent three thousand soldiers to help Xiang Liang!" ”

Ying Bu said awe-inspiringly: "The power of the Lu clan is so big?!" ”

"That was before." "Now the Lu clan is in decline, when the infant army invaded Wuzhong last year, they destroyed all the dock fort walls of the Lu clan, and killed thousands of Lu clan people!" After saying this, Kui Che said, "However, the influence of the Lu clan in Jiangdong is still there, and the remnants of Xiang Guan's army can confront the Han army in Qiantang because of the support of the local clan." ”

Ying preached: "Xiang Guan has the support of the clan, so what about Xiang Tuo? What does he rely on to compete with Xiang Guan? ”

Kui Che said: "Xiang Tuo was originally the only son of Xiang Liang's general Sheephorn, after the death of Sheephorn, Xiang Liang remembered that he was young and lost, so he took him as a fake son, although Xiang Tuo did not have the support of the Jiangdong clan, but the three thousand remnants he brought back from Lu County were all elite, and Xiang Tuo had generals, so he got the support of some of the Kwantung clans, so he was able to fight with Xiang Guan. ”

Yingbu said again: "What about him? What kind of considerations did the prime minister have for letting him go back? ”

Kuaiche said: "Xiang Guan and Xiang Tuo are at a standstill, each has its own territory, each has its own forces, but several old Chu clans led by the Xiang clan are still in the middle and watching, at this time, once Xiang Zhuang returns to Jiangdong, he can quickly integrate these old Chu clans, once Xiang Zhuang gets the support of these old Chu clans, Xiang Tuo and Xiang Guan are not Xiang Zhuang's opponents at all." ”

Ying Budao: "Then, if you send him back, you can disrupt the situation and ruin Xiang Zhuang's good deeds?" ”

Kui Che said: "Xiang he is not like Xiang Tuo and Xiang Guan, just a fake son of the Xiang family, Xiang he is the real Xiang clan, plus Xiang he is known as a virtuous name, so it is easy to get the support of several old Chu clans headed by the Xiang family, so that when Xiang Zhuang returns to Jiangdong, he will no longer get the support of any forces!" ”

"The widow understands!" Yingbu slapped his leg and said excitedly, "No wonder before sending Xiang back to Jiangdong, the prime minister, you have to tell him about Xiang Zhuang's worship of the First Emperor's Mausoleum and the offering of jade seals to Han Xin, this time, Xiang He and even several old Chu clans in Jiangdong are afraid that they will spurn Xiang Zhuang, and the situation in Jiangdong will become more and more chaotic, hahaha......"

Kui Che waved his hand and said: "King, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the minister, whether it can work in the end depends on Xiang Zhuang's wrist and Xiang Zhuang's choice." After saying this, Kui Che added, "However, in any case, Xiang will only make the situation more chaotic after he returns to Jiangdong, not any clearer." ”

"Chaos is good, chaos is good." Yingbu said repeatedly, "It's better to fight!" ”

Saying this, Yingbu smiled again: "When Xiang Zhuang killed Xiang Bo and Xiang Han, he didn't even blink, maybe after this kid returned to Jiangdong, he would also be ruthless to Xiang He, Xiang Tuo, and Xiang Guan, in this way, Jiangdong can be lively, it is best to beat a corpse all over the field, blood flowing, in this way, even if Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer occupies Jiangdong, there is no ten or eight years of recuperation, and don't want to recover!" ”

Kui Che stroked his willow whiskers, shook his head and said: "King, don't have too much hope for this matter, Xiang Zhuang has soldiers to help, as long as he is calm, not impulsive, and the soldiers are not bloody, it is not impossible, and the king also needs to step up the integration of Huaisi's warrior clan is strong, don't relax." ”
