The Chu army was defeated by the chasm.

Even the overlord Xiang Yu was also lost to Si Gong.

Xiang Yu's head-level body was ordered by Li Yuan to be collected, and then a few former Xiang Jun's personal soldiers were found among the captives and escorted to Pengcheng. It is conceivable that when Xiang Yu's body is sent to Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, what kind of monstrous waves will be stirred, and Western Chu, who has lost the pillar of the heavens, will inevitably fall into violent turmoil.

Before death.

They are opponents who are against each other and never die.

Died.

That's two shijie, the strange road that is gradually drifting apart.

As for Xiang Yu's shouting of Xingtian Dance and shouting that he wanted to tear up another fight with Li Yuan on Huangquan Road when he killed himself, there is almost no threat to Li Yuan, whose soul is in the era of science and technology after 2,000 years, and he doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods at all.

On Huangquan Road, go all the way.

In this era of turmoil, heroes are always the only ones, and heroes are also the loneliest, in the days without Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Li Yuan's eyes will pay more attention to the two strong men of different races, one south and one north.

Zhao Tuo, South Vietnam.

The Huns were stunned.

On the battlefield of King to Domination, there will never be a shortage of next challengers.

――。

The state of Chu lost its most important leader.

However, the chasm is just a battlefield where Qin and Chu are at war, almost at the same time that Li Yuan and Xiang Yu are in full swing, on the battlefield of Qi in the north, another melee of the battle between the Qin and Chu armies is being staged.

Originally, according to Xiang Yu's assumption, in addition to confronting the Qin army at one point of chasm, Zhong Liwu's more than 10,000 Changshan troops would sweep through the Qin realm from the area of Zhaodi, and Zuihou would cross the river from the area of Sanchuan County to attack the back of the Qin army, but this strategy was terminated by Ji Xin's outstanding performance in the defense of Handan.

Except for Zhongli Ambiguous Army. Xiang Zhuang, a rising star in the Chu army and the most likely successor to Xiang Yu, led more than 15,000 Chu troops north to Qidi in an attempt to contain the Qin army in Yandi.

On the Qin army's side, the general of the Qin army who commanded this battle was none other than Han Xin, a famous general stationed in Yandi. This rogue boy in the Huaiyin area of Donghai County, Chu Di, after many battles, has grown into a resourceful and decisive general in the Qin army, especially during the year of guarding Yandi, Han Xin has Chu in the south, the Xiongnu in the north, and the remnants of anti-Qin Shili inside. A Qin army Yandi legion composed of 30,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 auxiliaries was formed.

The existence of this field battle Liliang made it unnecessary for Qin to mobilize troops from Jiuyuan and Guanzhong on the long border, and at the same time, when there was danger in the Central Plains, Qin could also open a second battlefield from the north instead of Guanzhong, thus threatening the hinterland of Chu.

This time the Chu army attacked the Qin state.

As soon as Li Yuan's order arrived, Han Xin quickly led 12,000 Qin troops south from Jixian. The rest of the generals stayed in Yanbei to prevent a possible sneak attack by the Huns, after all, the war against Chu was urgent. It was also not important to let the Huns re-enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.

After Han Xin went south, the Yandi Qin army was handed over to the command of Yang Wengzi, a Qin general who came from the Jiuyuan area half a year ago, and the name Yang Wengzi was very unfamiliar to other Qin army generals. However, if you mention him, you should also mention one of the most famous generals of the Qin State when they fought against the Xiongnu: Meng Tian.

In that campaign, Meng Tian led 200,000 Qin troops to expel the Huns from the Hetao. Yang Wengzi served as a former military captain, and it can be said that he had made great contributions, if it were not for the fact that he was later implicated in the Mengtian incident, and he had never been on good terms with Wang Li, his position would have been far more than just a partial general in the border army of the Qin State.

Li Yuan's last tour of Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County, Yang Wengzi was also among the generals of the border army, for this depressed backbone of the border army, Li Yuan heard from Menghu, after a conversation, Yang Wengzi was officially included in the list of test generals by Li Yuan.

In this transfer, Yang Wengzi officially broke away from the border army system, and became a general under Li Yuan's command who could fight like Meng Hu.

Mid-July.

It only took three days for Han Xinjun to kill all the way from Yishui to Jishui, almost running through the northern border of Chu State.

It was precisely because of Han Xin's rapid movements that Xiang Yu had to give up the strategy of attacking the eastern border of Qin with all his might, and instead let Xiang Zhuang lead a group to the Qilu area to resist the advance of Han Xin's army.

It took Xiang Yu five years to conquer Qi, and in these five years, Tian Rong, Tian Jiao, Tian Heng and others, who represented the Shili clan of Qi State, rose and fell, allowing Xiang Yu to go back and forth on the road to Qi again and again, until Tian Heng was killed, and Qidi's resistance began to come to an end slightly.

However, the Qi people's disapproval of the Chu people still exists.

In the past year, Han Xin has sent scouts and intercrops to Qidi many times, and has had many contacts with the resistance of Qidi, and this time he has been planning for a long time and has been prepared for a long time.

In contrast, the conquest of the Chu State only stayed on the surface, however, Xiang Zhuang did make great progress in military command, in the face of Han Xin's provocations again and again, Xiang Zhuang was unmoved, and 10,000 Chu troops were guarded on the Puyang ferry on the bank of Jishui, just not moving a step, which made the Qin army's expectation of taking Pengcheng directly come to naught.

With Xiang Zhuang's ability, it was really difficult to suppress the Qin army, which was nearly twice as numerous as his own side, so after the Jishui war reached a stalemate, Xiang Zhuang continuously requested to join forces, Zhong Liwu quickly relieved the siege of Handan, and this Chu army also joined the sequence of fighting with Han Xin, and the two Chu armies formed a tacit understanding and formed a flanking attack on Han Xin's army.

Zhong Li thought that the chasm area was closer to Pengcheng, and Xiang Yu personally led the army, not to mention defeating the Qin army, if he insisted, it was normal to lose within one or two months, and in comparison, Xiang Zhuang's situation was much more dangerous, and the people of Qi were not strong in the centripetal force of Chu State, and Han Xin's scheming came out one after another, although Xiang Zhuang's ability has been greatly improved in the past two years, but compared with Han Xin, it is still a step worse.

Faced with the unfavorable situation of interception in front and chasing troops in the back, Han Xin sent a messenger scout to inform Li Yuan, requesting Peng Yue, a thief located in the rear of Xiangzhuang's army, to send troops to attack Xiangzhuang's rear road, and at the same time, the Qin army changed its tactics and did not start a decisive battle with the Chu army at all. Instead, it was divided into parts, and a small army of the Qin army went down to the counties, townships, and pavilions of Qidi, and these troops did not burn, kill, and rob, but to expel the left-behind officials of the Chu State and support the fathers and elders of Qidi.

The Chu army was menacing, but it was in vain because he couldn't find an opponent, and in the absence of a way, Zhong Liwu could only deal with the small army of the Qin army with a small force, but his Changshan disciples were completely unfamiliar with the situation in Qidi, and the Chu pawns under Xiang Zhuang could not find a direction either.

Without the support of Qi people. The Chu army occupied favorable terrain in vain, but could not give full play to its advantages, and the two armies continued to fight in small battles along the line of Mount Tai, Mengshan, and Jishui.

――。

Late July.

It was also when the chasm war was at its most tense and intense, Zhong Liwu, who had no choice but to cross the Jishui and choose to join forces with Xiang Zhuang in the absence of food and low morale.

Puyang.

The Chu army camp.

A dispute was going on over the strategic direction of the Chu army next, and Zhong Liwu and Xiang Zhuang's different analysis of the current battle situation separated the few important generals in the Chu army.

"Major General, the Qin army on the north bank of Jishui is now scattered all over Qilu. Our army had failed to kill before, and it had already fallen behind, and the top priority now was not to annihilate or recover Qidi. Instead, we will defend the south bank of Jishui, and at the same time, we must step up our efforts to sweep away the bandits in the area of Junozawa to ensure that the rear road of the overlord's Chinese troops is unimpeded. Zhong Liwu was patient. Tell Xiang Zhuang what he has seen and heard, and at the same time, put forward his own suggestions. When Zhong Liwu said this. The news of Xiang Yu's death has not yet reached the Chu army camp on the Jishui front.

"General Zhongli, you are the ambition of the Changqin people, and you will destroy the prestige of my Great Chu. Han Xin's crotch kid's troop Xiang has already heard clearly, at best there are no more than 10,000 people, and most of them are new soldiers recruited by Yandi, if we can't even take this little bit of enemy troops, what are we talking about supporting the overlord? Xiang Zhuang said angrily.

For Han Xin and his people, Xiang Zhuang had dealings, when he went in and out of Xiang Liang and Xiang Yuzhong's military camps, it was Han Xin's tent door, and now time is reversed, Han Xin soared into the sky, and he became a famous general of Qin, but he Xiang Zhuang is still just a rising star in the Chu army.

The so-called up-and-comer is just to put it nicely. In the face of the huge gap, Xiang Zhuang's mentality began to gradually become unbalanced.

This imbalance became even more obvious after Han Xin played "missing" again and again and passively avoided the war, in fact, not only Xiang Zhuang, but also these Chu soldiers under his command began to doubt the true combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

"Young General, this Han Xin is scheming, and he has won Li Yuan's teachings, we must not be careless, if we fall into the trap of the Qin people, my Great Chu will have no chance to win." Zhong Liwu said worriedly.

As soon as he talked about Han Xin, Zhong Liwu couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

Back then, Han Xin also had the idea of serving the Chu State, followed Zhong Liwu's advice, and defected to Xiang Liang's command, but he didn't expect that in Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew, Han Xin could only be a small halberd all the time.

The position of Lang Zhong is high and low, and the halberd Lang Zhong, in other words, is the petty officer who guards the tent door, and he is not even as good as the captain and the captain. Especially after being sent to Guanzhong, Long He, the general of the Chu army, listened to the slander of Fan Zeng, Xiang Bo and others, and even did not take Han Xin in his eyes, and was embarrassed in every way.

On the contrary, Li Yuan's attitude towards Han Xin was as respectful as that of a national soldier, and he not only promoted Han Xin to Weimo, but also handed over the power of commanding the army to a Chu man without doubt.

What a heart.

Zhong Liwu really couldn't imagine what kind of character Li Yuan was, but unfortunately, he heard his name for a hundred years, but he never had the opportunity to see him.

"General Zhongli, if you take care of the past feelings, you can turn back to Pengcheng, but in order to defeat the enemy in front of you, please hand over the command to Xiang, and after victory, it will be returned to the general." Xiang Zhuang sneered and said.

"Young General, what are you talking about, do you suspect that I am collaborating with the enemy?" Zhong Limo said angrily. Xiang Zhuang's implication was to let Zhong Liwu hand over his military power, which was even more uncomfortable for a general than killing him.

When it comes to his status in the army, Zhong Liwu is now one of the few remaining backbone generals in the Chu army, his qualifications and experience can directly order Xiang Zhuang to follow the order, but Zhong Liwu's personality and experience make him lack confidence, compared to Long Ji's fiery and uprightness, Zhong Liwu's temperament is more reflected in calmness and forbearance, which makes him take more gentle persuasion methods when encountering disputes, and there will be no fierce confrontation and conflict.

At the same time, the experience of breaking away from the Chu State three years ago and establishing the Changshan Army alone also gave Zhong Liwu and his troops a feeling of being separated from the Chu army sequence.

Although, in the past year, Zhong Liwu and his subordinates have made a lot of contributions to the stability of the Chu State, but judging from Xiang Zhuang's attitude, Zhong Liwu is far from being trusted by the Xiang family, in other words, the Chu State really trusts him, and I am afraid that there is only Xiang Yu alone.
