Chapter 213: Fighting with the Huns
"Ah Tuo!" Xiang Zhuang accentuated his tone slightly, and said, "If you kneel like this again, then you don't treat me as a brother anymore, get up, get up!" ”
After that, Xiang Zhuang exerted a little force and forcibly helped Xiang Tuo up.
Xiang Tuo didn't insist anymore, got up and said, "General, the last general is ashamed. ”
"That's what I should say." Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said abruptly, "I was ordered by Brother Wang's dying life to be the general of Great Chu, but I failed to protect the children of the Xiang family, let alone protect the Jiangdong fathers, I am really ashamed." ”
"General, don't say that." Xiang Tuo hurriedly said, "If it weren't for the general's efforts to turn the tide, I'm afraid that the millions of fathers and elders in the two counties of Jiangdong would have already belonged to the Han Dynasty, and I, Dachu, would have died long ago." ”
Xiang Zhuang noticed that the expressions of the dozen generals behind Xiang Tuo were a little unnatural, obviously, they did not agree with what Xiang Tuo said, and then Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said indifferently: "Ah Tuo, Jiangdong has been able to persist until now, not because of me, but because of you, Xiang Guan, and tens of thousands of Great Chu soldiers." ”
Xiang Tuo shook his head and said solemnly: "If it weren't for the general who restrained the main army of Liu Bang, Han Xin, Peng Yue and the princes from all walks of life, with only Xiang Guan's more than 10,000 remnants, he wouldn't have been able to hold Qiantang at all!" Later, if it weren't for the general's transfer of thousands of miles to the main army of the princes from all walks of life away from Huaisi Jiangdong, how could Jiangdong be restored with only a few thousand remnants of the last general? ”
Xiang Zhuang said: "Ah Tuo, you are serious, Jiangdong has been able to persist until now, mainly relying on you and Xiang Guan." ”
Xiang Tuo didn't seem to hear Xiang Zhuang's words, and continued to himself: "With thousands of remnants, the general was able to transfer all the main armies of the princes back to their respective nests, and in such a desperate situation, the general could still pull up a huge cavalry, such merits, such ability, how can the last general be compared?" ”
Baili Xian and Wu She, who were following Xiang Zhuang, couldn't help but look up to Xiang Tuo a few points, and Xiang Tuo was able to say this, which shows that he is a general who understands the general situation and has a huge overall situation.
However, the dozen or so generals behind Xiang Tuo were full of uncertainty on their faces.
Obviously, Xiang Tuo's self-surrender made these generals of Xiang Tuo's family very unhappy, but because of Xiang Tuo's prestige and the fact that this is Xiang Zhuang's territory, they endured it and did not have a seizure.
Xiang Zhuang also had some emotion in his heart, not only feeling Xiang Tuo's deep understanding of righteousness, but also feeling Wei Yi's foresight, if it wasn't for Wei Yi's dying words, let Xiang Zhuang postpone crossing the river, with Xiang Zhuang's character, I am afraid that he would have led the army to kill Wujiang a long time ago, in this way, Xiang Tuo can take care of the overall situation, but what about these generals under him?
Therefore, if Xiang Zhuang rashly crossed the river, not only the conflict with Xiang Guan was unavoidable, but I was afraid that the conflict with Xiang Tuo and Xiang He was also inevitable.
At that moment, Xiang Zhuang patted Xiang Tuo's shoulder and said, "Ah Tuo, to be honest, you are also good." ”
"How can the last general be deed, and how dare he compare with the general?" Xiang Tuo shook his head, suddenly knelt down on one knee again, and said to Xiang Zhuang with great sincerity, "General, whether Great Chu can be revived or not depends on you, so please cross the river immediately, inherit the throne of the King of Chu, and preside over the overall situation!" ”
As soon as Xiang Tuo's words came out, not only Bai Lixian and Wu She, who were following Xiang Zhuang, changed their faces, but the faces of the dozen generals who followed Xiang Tuo changed greatly, and for a while, more than a dozen generals looked at each other, but none of them knelt down, Xiang Tuo was furious, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Kneel, don't you kneel down with me?!" ”
More than a dozen generals exchanged glances, and then had to fall to their knees in frustration.
Xiang Zhuang smiled faintly, stepped forward to help Xiang Tuo up, and said to more than a dozen generals: "Generals, get up too." Xiang Tuo wanted to say more, but was stopped by Xiang Zhuang's hand, and then Xiang Zhuang said, "Ah Tuo, go to see Mrs. first, and then eat, and when you finish eating, I will take you to pick a few good horses, hehe." ”
Xiang Zhuang knew that Xiang Tuo's persuasion of him should be out of public intentions, but he also knew that now was definitely not the time to succeed to the throne, if Xiang Zhuang succeeded to the throne now, not only Xiang Guan on the other side of the river would not agree, but even the dozen or so generals behind Xiang Tuo would not agree, so that Wei Yu's legacy would be wasted. …,

Yu Ji and Ying Zhen supported Wei Yue left and right, and while walking forward cautiously, they admonished: "Wuyang, slow down, slower, but don't move the fetus." When she said this, Yu Ji's beautiful eyes kept staring at Wei Yue's big belly, and the look in her eyes was extremely kind, as if it was her own child that was pregnant in it.
Letting Wei Yue come and talk to Yu Ji was originally just Xiang Zhuang's unintentional move, but the effect was unexpectedly good.
Wei Yue's simplicity and kindness easily won Yu Ji's favor, especially surprisingly, Yu Ji and Wei Yue's unborn child in the belly formed an indissoluble bond, every time Wei Yue had a headache, brain fever, and body discomfort, Yu Ji was even more nervous than anyone else, and often came over to accompany Wei Yue and chat to relieve boredom.
Now, the relationship between Yu Ji and Wei Yue is almost as good as that of a sister.
What's more, Yu Ji is no longer as pessimistic and misanthropic as before, and even has a smile on her face.
Seeing that Yu Ji cared so much about Wei Yue, Ying Zhen on the other side was envious, and while envying Wei Yue's good life, she was also a little self-pitying, saying that since Wei Yue was pregnant, Xiang Zhuang stayed in her room every day, and the two had fun almost every day, sometimes even several times a day, but her stomach was stunned and did not move.
Out of the general's line, there was already a carriage waiting outside the gate.
got into the carriage, and the group went straight to the Wangjia Medical Hall in Nancheng, Yu Ji cared about Wei Yue, and was more concerned about the unborn child in Wei Yue's belly, yesterday I heard that Jiangdong Ji Shen Doctor visited Liyang County, so he hurriedly took Wei Yue to ask for a consultation, Ji Shen Doctor is a famous doctor in Jiangdong, Yu Ji did not dare to send someone to summon.
When he arrived at the Wang Family Medical Center, Baili Yishui, who had been waiting in line for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.
Divine Doctor Ji finished taking Wei Yue's pulse, and Yu Ji asked with concern, "Divine Doctor, how is my sister?" ”
Doctor Ji smiled and said: "Madame, don't worry, Sister Ling's health is very good, and the two little guys in her belly are also very good, if nothing happens, it will be in labor in half a month, hehe, the old man is here to congratulate him in advance." ”
"Two?" Yu Ji couldn't help but say, "Divine doctor, are you saying that my sister is pregnant?" ”
"Not bad." Divine Doctor Ji bowed his head lightly and said, "The old man has been practicing medicine for many years, and there will be no mistakes." ”
"Madame, congratulations." Baili Yishui next to him hurriedly said hello to Wei Yue, and Ying Zhen also followed Daoxi, but the expression in Mei's eyes was a little complicated, how could all the good things be taken by Wuyang?
"Girl, you can really do it." Yu Ji said, her eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of hope.
While speaking, Jin Xiang strode into the medical hall and said to Yu Ji and the others: "Madam, the general, please go home quickly." ”
"Okay, I got it." Yu Ji nodded, and then instructed Baili Yishui and Ying Zhendao, "Little sister Baili, Shiman, you accompany Sister Wuyang to go back slowly." With that, Yu Ji said to Jin Xiang, "Let's go." ”

The general was leaving, and Xiang Zhuang was accompanying Xiang Tuo to talk.
Talking and talking, Xiang Zhuang talked about the battle of Dabie Mountain, and heard Xiang Zhuang say that he was only a little short of being able to kill Liu Bang, Xiang Tuo couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's only a moment away from killing Liu Bang Lao'er, alas, but, except for the first king, only you, the general, can force Liu Bang Lao'er to this!" ”
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Ah Tuo, I don't dare to compare with the first king. ”
Once the topic involves Xiang Yu, it is a little sensitive, after all, Xiang Yu's merits and demerits are not something that they, the children of the Xiang family, can comment, even Xiang Zhuang still does not have the qualifications to evaluate Xiang Yu, and then Xiang Tuo changed the topic and said: "General, I don't know what Liu Bang Lao'er is doing now?" ”
"Liu Bang's old man?" Xiang Zhuang smiled cruelly, "If nothing else, Liu Bang Lao'er is only afraid that he is already anxious, the Huns have occupied the Hetao, from the Hetao to Guanzhong is only seven or eight hundred miles, if you march in a hurry, the Huns' cavalry can enter the Guanzhong within two days, maybe Liu Bang Lao'er has now fought with Mao Dun." ”
##########
Xiang Zhuang's words came true, Liu Bang had indeed started with Mao Dun.
Soon after Xiang Zhuang left with the army, Mao Dun transferred all the cattle, sheep and livestock of the Tuoli tribe and the old and young women and children to the Hetao grassland, and came to the Hetao grassland with the Tuoli tribe, as well as more than a dozen Xiongnu tribes of all sizes and sizes, compared with the old Xiongnu camp in Mobei, the climate of the Hetao grassland is obviously more temperate and more suitable for wintering.
After settling down the cattle, sheep and livestock, as well as the old and young women and children, Mao Dun set his sights on Guanzhong!
Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the northern Rong Di has the habit of going south to the Central Plains to hit the grass valley, and the Huns are no exception, although the Huns did not suffer from the snow disaster this year, and last year's year was not bad, but the customs developed for thousands of years are not so easy to change, taking advantage of the cat winter season to go south to the Central Plains to burn and kill and plunder, has long been integrated into the blood of the Huns.
Almost at the same time that Xiangzhuang entered Liyang County, Mao Dun also crossed the Great Wall of Zhaoxiang King with 40,000 Hun cavalry and entered Shangjun, and Zhou Bo, who was in Tuntian, Shangjun, hurriedly gathered a large army, but Mao Dun did not confront Zhou Bo head-on at all, but threw off Zhou Bo's main force and took advantage of the weakness to break through the city of Fushi.
By the time Zhou Bo's main force rushed back to Fushi, the entire Fushi City was already covered with corpses and blood.
Zhou Bo did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the news that Shangjun was sacked by the Xiongnu to Liu Bang in an expedited manner of 800 li, and Liu Bang, who was training cavalry in Longxi, got the news, and immediately ordered 5,000 elite cavalry to enter Shangjun.
