Chapter 164: Overlord Xiang Yu (Second Update)
The construction of Chang'an City immersed Li Yuan in a kind of excitement of creating history, and with the increase in contact with Xin Chai, Li Yuan also began to re-acquaint himself with this arrogant girl.
Xin is smart, but there is no lack of cunning. In order to calculate a set of data, she even took her maid and domestic servants to Weishui by boat to measure the speed of the water flow, which is unimaginable in the average daughter's house.
On both sides of the streets of the new city, a tall tree with a deep roots and a large canopy is planted in the front yard of the house, and its flowers, fruits, and skins can be used in medicine.
For the greening tree species in Chang'an City, Li Yuan also considered other tree species, such as pine, ginkgo, sycamore, etc., but Zuihou still chose the most homely locust tree.
The things handed down by the ancestors are all good things, and there is such a description of the locust tree in the "Spring and Autumn Rites": "There are many people planting it in front of the court, one takes its shade, one takes three acacia auspicious signs, and looks forward to the meaning of the descendants and three princes." At the same time, the locust tree also has the meaning of hope, and there is a saying that it is hoped for the safe return of relatives, which is also consistent with the name of the city of Chang'an.
The days passed in the construction of Chang'an City day by day, and from April to May, Li Yuan spent his twenty-fourth birthday in a full busyness.
This birthday is the first birthday that Li Yuan has had since he crossed over, and it is also the first birthday that the original Li Yuan has had since he was born.
The three women in the Wangyi Palace discussed for a long time, and they also invited Xin to chase into the palace, but in front of Xin Xiaoniang, the three of Ying Yushu, who were not in harmony with each other, failed to take advantage of it.
Ying Yushu's attitude is very clear, she is already very satisfied with the current situation, she doesn't ask for any name, as long as she can maintain a secret relationship with Li Yuan, Gu Yunniang has the heart to grab the head, but after suffering a loss, she has no confidence in her status in Li Yuan's mind. This kind of work that offends people. She just watched coldly, neither close to nor repulsive to Xin Chai; Left Zuihou, a winning Yuman who has an unjustified name and no experience of sharing joys and sorrows, faced with the sharp tooth Xin Chase, only played a few rounds, and was speechless by Xiao Niang.
This interview made Xin Chai Xiaoniang very angry.
Originally. She just had a good impression of Li Yuan's uncle, and she had a little bit of a girl's hero-worshipping mind, and when Ying Yuman said it in secret, the little lady was immediately annoyed, and directly left a sentence: "I like uncle." Then he left the palace with his cheeks puffed out.
It's like. Still don't like it.
Xin Chai actually didn't figure it out himself.
"This dead scoundrel, dead uncle, harmful guy!" Running to the edge of the trench on the edge of Chang'an City, Xin Chai hated and stepped on a pile of freshly dug mud.
In the distance, a group of Han prisoners of war, under the watchful eye of the Qin army's supervising soldiers, were naked, shouting low trumpets, digging piles of yellow mud out of the ground. Then the stonemasons chiseled haode feldspar slats were neatly arranged.
Compared to the grand scene of construction. What is the little thought of a child? Xin Chai wiped a tear from the corner of his eyes and straightened his small chest. She smiled proudly at the group of coolie prisoners, but she didn't know how many prisoners would be forever worried about her at this moment.
――。
In the second year of the Qin New Calendar, May.
The situation in Guanzhong calmed down, and in the vast area east of Hangu Pass, the flames of war were not extinguished by the withdrawal of the Qin state.
After the destruction of the Qin State, the overlord Xiang Yu was full of confidence, and accepted the suggestion of the old strategist Fan Zeng, and used the sub-feudal system to seal the princes of the Seventeenth Road, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's original intention was to contradict the county system implemented by the first emperor, and the implementation of the county system made the original remnants of the Six Kingdoms lose the privileges they had always enjoyed, which was also the main reason why they took the lead in rebelling against the rule of Qin.
Xiang Yu didn't know that the unification and centralization of the Qin State meant that it had entered the era of the feudal dynasty, and if he went against the tide and used the method of slavery, the result could only be self-destruction.
Moreover, in the process of implementing the feudal system, Xiang Yu also made too many mistakes, and the reason why these princes were able to be crowned kings was not because of how much military exploits they made, but because of the distance between them and Xiang Yu.
Like Henan Wang Shenyang and the like, he was originally just a general of Zhao State, because he entered the customs with Xiang Yu, he was also crowned king, and correspondingly, like Chen Yu, the general of Zhao State who made great achievements in the anti-Qin wave, because he did not follow Xiang Yu, he got nothing.
In addition to Chen Yu, Yingbu, the former general of the Chu army, is another example. Yingbu followed Xiang Yu all the way to fight, but unfortunately because Zuihou was unwilling to stay in Guanzhong, he went against Xiang Yu's wishes, and as a result, Yingbu, who was supposed to be named the king of Jiujiang, only fell into the empty name of the Marquis of Jiujiang.
Chen Yu and Yingbu, plus Tian Rong and Tian Heng, who were independent kings in Qidi, these shili who were dissatisfied with Xiang Yu, in the past year, gradually came together and twisted into a major liliang against the Chu army, and behind them, there were faintly disgruntled opponents like Liu Bang, the king of Han, who were manipulating the chaos in the Kwantung region.
Xiang Yu was furious, Tian Rong, Tian Heng, and Chen Yu were all unworthy goods, all of them were hunted down by the Qin army and hid in Tibet, if it weren't for him Xiang Yu to send troops to rescue, these cowards would have been captured by Zhang Han a long time ago, and now, they actually questioned their own decisions.
Attack!
Got rid of these bed bugs.
The proud Xiang Yu rejected Fan Zeng's proposal for reconciliation, and personally raised 50,000 Chu troops to attack Tianrong, and at the same time ordered Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, and Zhao Xie, the acting king, to send troops to attack Chen Yu, and ordered Xiang Tuo, Zhou Yin and other generals to guard the Shouchun area of Jiujiang County and monitor the Yingbu troops in the area on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Xiang Yu is brave and brave, with his ideas, attacking a Tian Rong who does not want to make progress, isn't it a matter of being able to catch it, but he doesn't want it to be Tian Rong and Tian Heng, dragging Xiang Yu to the ground and unable to move, so that Xiang Yu, who can't retreat after the decisive battle, can only do it in vain.
First lunar month.
Finally from the Guanzhong rushed back from the flying cavalry scout to learn the news of the dragon and the defeat, anxious Xiang Yu angrily rushed to the crown, all the way to chase Tian Rong to chase and fight, this battle of Chu and Qi lasted for more than four months, Xiang Yu under the command of Zhong Liwu, Xiang Zhuang, Ji Bu and other generals took out the strength of the decisive battle of the giant deer, and finally cleaned up Tian Rong's bedbug in the area of Qidi Plain County.
After Tian Rong's death, Qi temporarily stabilized, and Xiang Yu freed his hands and prepared to lead the elite of the Chu army to march west again.
Pengcheng in May.
The breath of early summer came to the face, after expelling the Xiong Xin of King Huai of Chu, Xiang Yu monopolized Pengcheng, and the people of the entire Chu land regarded Xiang Yu as an idol, and in Jiangdong, south of the Yangtze River, the people's doors were pasted with portraits of Xiang Yu.
Chu Palace.
A cadre of generals and strategists of the Western Chu State is discussing in the court, there are not many people on the Wenchen side, headed by Fan Zeng, the father of Ya, plus Xiang Bo, Xiang Tuo and a few others, in terms of military generals, after Long He died, Zhong Liwu took his place and became the number one general under Xiang Yu, and then Ji Bu, Xiang Zhuang, Zhou Yin, Ding Gong and so on.
Generally speaking, under Xiang Yu's hands, there are still few generals who can fight well and stand alone, which has something to do with Xiang Yu's materials, relying on his uncle Xiang Liang's Liliang to start Xiang Yu, more Xiang or Jiangdong as the backbone, or an old brother who has followed him for many years, and it is quite difficult for later people to integrate into the team of the Chu army.
Compared with Liu Bang, who has an open and inclusive attitude, Xiang Yu's personality is too strong, in other words, he can't tolerate a little sand, which makes the people who work under him very hard, but they can't do well.
Speaking of the merits of defeating the Qin army, the princes and kings from all walks of life who watched from the wall played a role of waving the flag and shouting at best, and it was the generals under Xiang Yu who really made a difference, but they didn't get anything. Yingbu didn't talk about him, but said that Zhong Liwu, Ji Bu and others were also killed by Julu at the risk of life and death.
Now, Yingbu has completely fallen out with Xiang Yu, and another general of the Chu army, General Pu Chen Wu, has simply broken away from the sequence of the Chu army and defected to Peng Yue, the thief of Juyeze.
Stimulated by successive victories, the Chu army, which had been almost invincible for a year, began to show a crisis, but this hidden danger was still only in the bud, Xiang Yu did not find it, and Fan Zeng was the same.
Council Hall.
Xiang Yu wore a rare loose robe, with a golden python belt tied around his waist, and on his face, the beard that had just grown covered the cheeks of the lower half of his jaw, which made his whole person a little more fierce.
"Qin general Li Yuan, Yongqiu's escape, now take advantage of the opportunity of my army to return eastward, to deceive Guanzhong, plot against Zhang Han, first Qin Wang Long and lead the army to meet the battle, unfortunately defeated at the foot of Qishan. In February, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, led the army into the pass, and Li Yuan's troops fought in Fufeng, Wugong, Liyang and other places, the Han army was defeated, nearly 30,000 people lost their divisions, and now the king of Han sent a messenger to say that Li Thief sent troops to Saihan Valley and Lantian, and there was a plan to stick to the pass, I intend to send troops to the west again, and swear to break Li Qin, what do you think? Xiang Yu's face sank like water, and he talked with indignation in the face of the generals of the Chu army who had just returned from various places.
"Overlord Yingming, I heard that Li Yuan called himself Shenwu Hou, he really can't do it." Chu general Ding Gong stepped forward to reply, Ding Gong has been fighting in the area of Dangxian, and the relationship with Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, is irreversible.
"Shenwu Hou, haha, I want to see where the Li thief god is, and where is Wu?" Xiang Yu was provoked by Ding Gong, and couldn't help but be arrogant.
"Overlord, Guanzhong is not less than 1,000 miles away from Pengcheng, long-distance marching and fighting, known as a taboo for soldiers, according to the views of subordinates, it is better not to send the troops of the King of Henan and King Yin as the vanguard, first tired of the morale of the Li thief, and when my Dachu soldiers arrive, they can be full of energy, and then break the Qin army, and then hold the head of the Li thief to hang at the head of Xianyang City, and see which of the Qin people in Guanzhong dare to rebel." Fan Zeng coughed, shook at Xiang Yu, and admonished. (To be continued.) )
