Chapter 356: Feng Wang Feng Bō (I)

Almost at the same time, Xiang Zhuang, who was thousands of miles away, also received a message from the flying pigeon of Ebony Cliff. e-watch is available free of charge

Xiang Zhuang immediately summoned Xiang He, Xiang Tuo, Zhou Yin, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Wu She, Bai Lixian and other ministers to the palace for a banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiang Zhuang said with emotion: "At the beginning of the high school, where is the tiger general of the world." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Wu Shelian echoed, "Peng Yue is also a generation of heroes, and the army of 100,000 under his command is a division of tigers and wolves, but he was destroyed in a battle in Luyeze, and General Gao Chu is worthy of the name of a tiger general." ”

Zhou Yin also said with emotion: "After this defeat, Liang Guo is afraid that it will be over." ”

"That's needless to say." Baili Xian said, "Let's not talk about whether Peng Yue can escape back to Dingtao, even if Peng Yue can escape back, Liang Guo is also in decline, Liu Bang, Han Xin, and Ying Buke are all heroes in the world, they will never let go of such a good opportunity, if nothing else, more than 60 counties in the five counties of Liang will most likely be divided." ”

Huan Chu said: "King, should we also get a piece of the pie?" ”

"Oh, it's hard to chew too much." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "My big Chu's top priority is to try to hold Bashu and Jingxiang, and then slowly digest it, as for Liang Guo, let them fight for it, and although Peng Yue was defeated, Liu Bang will never stop there, Bashu granary, Liu Bang will never give up easily." ”

The Battle of Luyeze was finally over, and the Chu army won a complete victory.

Just catching the prisoners of war of the Liang army took three whole days, and Zhong Liwu's 20,000 sailors alone obviously couldn't catch the prisoners of war of the Liang army, and many of the 100,000 Liang troops were water bandits who followed Peng Yue from Juye Ze back then, and the water was excellent, but when they finally got ashore, they found that there were still a large number of Chu cavalry waiting for them.

At the head of Jiangling City, Gao Chu was inspecting the city defense accompanied by Zhong Liwu, Zicheshi, Bu Cong, Xu Jiang and others.

The Liang army is finished, and the only gallop road that enters Jingxiang from the north has also been flooded, and it is now the rainy season, and most of the trails in the counties are muddy and difficult to walk, and the possibility of the Han army coming to attack again is already very low, at least before the rainy season is over, the Han army is unlikely to come to invade, but Gao Chu did not relax in the slightest.

The general of the Duzhen side is not so easy to be, and he can't live up to the trust of the king at the beginning of his career.

In the continuous sound of horns, the cavalry of the Chu army appeared in the wilderness outside the city, which was a cavalry team of more than 100 cavalry, carrying three or four hundred Liang army prisoners of war, and was coming towards Jiangling.

Gao Chu turned around and asked Xu Jiang: "Shunzhi (Xu Jiang's cousin), how many prisoners have you captured?" ”

Xu Jiang hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "If you go back to the general, you have already arrested more than 40,000 people." ”

Gao Chu nodded, thinking that Liang Guo seemed to be over, 100,000 jīng Rui, more than 40,000 people were captured, and then remove the drowned, the number of people who could escape back to Liang alive in the end would definitely not exceed 10,000, even if there were still some remaining troops in Liang State, how many could there be? Looking at the surroundings of Liang Guo again, Liu Bang, Han Xin and even Yingbu are not good stubble.

It's a pity that the state of Chu can't catch up, and after the Great Chu captures Bashu and Jingxiang, it is impossible to send troops to chase the Central Plains in a short period of time, but it is cheaper for Liu Bang, Han Xin, and Yingbu.

Xu Jiang said again: "General, what to do with these more than 40,000 prisoners of war?" ”

According to the Qin military system, the people of the enemy country do not kill, but the soldiers do not leave a single one, most of the anti-Qin armies at the end of the Qin Dynasty followed the Qin military system, but they are more tyrannical in terms of killing and surrendering, whether it is Xiang Yu, Peng Yue or Han Xin, or even Liu Bang, there are records of slaughtering the city, that is, regardless of the army and the people, regardless of the male and old, all killed. ..., however, since Xiang Zhuang returned to Jiangdong and became the king of Chu, the situation in Chu has changed.

Due to the insufficient population of Jiangdong and the scarcity of strong men, Xiang Zhuang has always opposed the killing of prisoners, and for this reason, Xiang Zhuang even promulgated a new reward mechanism for military exploits, stipulating that the combat merits of beheading the enemy are only half of the enemy's capture! Xiang Zhuang did this because he wanted to plunder the strong men of the enemy country through war, so as to strengthen himself.

At that moment, Gao Chu replied: "How to deal with it?" Of course, it was taken to Ziling Jiāo to Ling Yin's Mansion. ”

Xu Jiang Wei only agreed, but he was relieved in his heart, he was really a little worried that Gao Chu would be dissatisfied because of his outstanding military achievements, these more than 40,000 Liang army prisoners of war are not ordinary prisoners of war, and with a little transformation, they are a tiger and wolf army, if Gao Chu intercepts them in Jingxiang and reorganizes them on the spot, then things will be troublesome.

While he was inspecting, Pojun suddenly caught up with him, and said with a strange expression: "General, there is a Han envoy outside the city who asks to see you." ”

"Han envoy?" Gao Chu was stunned, now that Chu and Han were in a state of war, why did Liu Bang send an envoy to do it? Persuasion? Or sum? But no matter what the Han envoy came for, it always hurts to see him, is he still afraid of an envoy at the beginning of his high school? At that moment, he ordered Pojun Dao, "Go, please ask the Han envoy to come up, and General Ben will meet him here." ”

The broken army led the order, and after a while, he led an old man with Eguanbo to the city.

The Han envoy held the talisman in his hand, swaggered and proudly came to Gao Chu, and said proudly: "Old man Liu Jia, which of you is Gao Chu?" ”

"Liu Jia?!" Gao Chu nodded and said coldly, "General Ben remembers you, you are Liu Bang's cousin, and the Marquis of Shu Xianghou (Zhou Yin) rebelled against Chu and surrendered to Han because of your Gu Gui, yes or no?" ”

"Shu Xianghou?" Liu Jia said proudly, "Are you talking about Zhou Yin, the guard of Jiujiang County?" ”

Gao Chu snorted and asked, "Liu Jia Lao'er, what is the matter here?" ”

"On the order of the King of Han...... Liu Jia waved in the northwest direction, and said, "Come to Jiangling to read the edict, Gao Chu, why don't you go back to the house quickly, bathe and change clothes, set up the incense case, and kneel to welcome the edict of the King of Han?" ”

"The edict of the King of Han?" Gao Chu sneered, "Hehe, still bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and kneeling to welcome?" What a joke! General Ben is busy with military affairs, he doesn't have that much spare time, if he has any bullshit, just say it here, if you don't want to say it, then get out of Jiangling as soon as possible, and get out of Gangneung before General Ben has changed his mind. ”

"You?!" Liu Jia was furious, but when he saw Gao Chu's sword behind him, the murderous broken army and dozens of soldiers, he endured his anger again, and immediately took out Liu Bang's edict from his sleeve, and recited it aloud, "Advisory: Gao Chu defended the land in a good way and made outstanding achievements...... Now Fenger is the king of Jing and ranks among the princes to show respect. ”

Silence, Gangneung City's head suddenly became deathly silent, Gao Chu's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe it.

Xu Jiang, Zhong Liwu, Zicheshi, Bu Con and others were also staring at each other, and they couldn't believe their ears, Liu Bang Lao'er actually wanted to be named the general King of Jing? Still among the princes?

After a long time, Gao Chu finally came back to his senses and laughed: "Hahaha, Cheng méng Han Wang lifted." ”

Xu Jiang, Zhong Liwu, Ziche Shi and Bu Con and others suddenly sank in their hearts, regardless of whether the Han King named Gao Chu as the King of Jing or not, but if Gao Chu was really moved, and imitated Han Xin's expression of the King of Chu and asked him to be crowned King Jing, it would be a big trouble, and whether the Chu State would collapse or not, it would be difficult to avoid an internal làn.

When everyone was worried, Gao Chu suddenly turned his face and said coldly: "Where is the broken army?" ”

Breaking the army's fierce eyes, he stepped forward with murderous spirit, and said proudly: "The last general is here!" ”

Gao Chu stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Jia, and said in a cruel voice: "Drag this old man down, cut it, and put the head in a wooden box!" "...," Pojun responded violently, and with a wave of his hand, two pro-soldiers had already rushed forward like wolves and held down Liu Jia.

Liu Jia was shocked, and hurriedly struggled: "Gao Chu Xiao'er, the old man is the envoy of the King of Han, the so-called two countries do not kill the envoys, how can you kill the envoys, no, you can't kill the old man......"

"Fuck it, don't kill it." Gao Chu said coldly, "General Ben killed an envoy like you!" ”

Before the words fell, the broken army had already pushed Liu Jia to the NV wall with two personal soldiers, and when one of the personal soldiers pressed Liu Jia, the other personal soldier raised the knife and fell, and Liu Jia's good head had already rolled down on the city.

Xu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gao Chu: "General, the matter of sealing the king is not trivial, although the general is above board and has a clear conscience, the king also trusts the general, and he will definitely not suspect the general, but there will be troubles in the court, so does the general take Liu Jia's head to Ziling to explain one or two?" ”

"I don't need to." Gao Chu waved his hand and said disapprerovingly, "Explain what?" What's there to explain? The king is wise and wise, how can Liu Bang'er deceive him with such a suffocating and divisive plan? After saying this, Gao Chu said again, "Besides, even if I really want to be the king in Gao Chu, but I don't have soldiers or generals in my hands, what can I do to be the king?" ”

Xu Jiang, Zhong Liwu, Zicheshi, Bu Contempt and others all looked at each other, and Gao Chu dared to say this, and if he was someone else, even Pang Yu, who was also guarding one side, would never dare to say it in order to avoid suspicion, but what Gao Chu said was also the truth, since the implementation of the forbidden army system and the government military system, the general of the army no longer has any military power.

For example, Gao Chu, although there are 50,000 foot cavalry plus 20,000 sailors under his command, but 10,000 of them are forbidden troops, which are absolutely loyal to the king of Chu's hundred battles, and the 20,000 sailors are also only loyal to the king of Chu, only temporarily controlled by Gao Chu, and the remaining 40,000 foot cavalry are all county government soldiers.

After thinking about it, Xu Jiang said again: "Since this is the case, why don't you take a trip to Ziling?" ”

"Not necessarily." Gao Chu shook his head and said, "Liu Bang Lao'er wants to crown me as the king of Jing, his heart can be punished, if I don't explain, the matter will pass, but if I explain, maybe it will really become a thing, those jiān people in the court have something to say, although the king won't believe it, it's always troublesome to talk about, so it's better not to say it." ”
