Chapter 279: Cheng Gao Alliance

The red tassels rattled.

The faces of the young Jiangdong disciples were filled with excitement of longing for military exploits and glory. In their eyes, the Chu army is an invincible army in the world, and Xiang Yu is the god of war who ranks first in the world.

The dull sound of horses' hooves echoed in the wilderness, and a scout ran back from the front at a fast speed, and when Xiang Yu rolled the saddle and dismounted, he said loudly: "Overlord, our army is only five miles away from Chenggao, according to reports, the envoys from various countries have reached Gaotai, in the direction of Qin, Li Yuan's team is still twenty miles away from Bishui. ”

Xiang Yu was on this journey, and his heavy pupils were kept closed, as if nothing could move him between heaven and earth, but when he heard the name Li Yuan, Xiang Yu opened his eyes.

"Are you sure, did Li Yuan personally lead the team?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Overlord, our army scouts have confirmed many times that the Qin army is embroidered with the word Li Wu, and in addition, according to the report of the Tiger Prison Pass, no signs of impersonating Li Yuan have been found." The scout lieutenant reported back.

"In this way, the order to speed up the march and reach the high platform in half an hour, in addition, ask Xiang Ying where he is now, and tell him that before tonight, he must rush to Chenggao." Xiang Yu ordered in a cold voice.

Everything is ready to go.

Just waiting for a good show to start on the shore of the water, Xiang Yu's mood gradually improved. For this alliance on the banks of Chenggao, Xiang Yu certainly has his own plans, and among these plans, Li Yuan is undoubtedly a key figure. As for the other Zhang Er, Shusun Tong and others who came to cheer and thought they were very important, it didn't matter if they were there or not.

――。

Profile.

Under the light of the June sun, the freshly cut wood creaked after being trampled again and again.

Xiang Yu stepped up the stairs, and the sound of heavy footsteps reached the ears of Zhang Er and the others who were whispering, which immediately made the faces of these guys who thought they were celebrities change in unison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, farewell to Pengcheng. It's been a long time, and I see that everyone looks good, so let's have a few more drinks together. Behind Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo, who followed, smiled and nodded frequently at Zhang Er and the others.

Li Yuan agreed to attend the meeting.

After Xiang Bo returned to Pengcheng, he suddenly became an expert-level talent in the Western Chu State's tongue debate, just imagine, even famous people such as Li Shiqi, Kuaiche, and Lu Jia couldn't bargain under Li Yuan's hands, but he Xiang Bo did it, what is this. That's strength.

"Uncle, this is another promotion." Zhang Er smiled unnaturally and said. is just a Xiang Bo, Zhang Er originally didn't pay attention to it, but now the situation dictates that with Xiang Bo, at least he Zhang Er still has someone to take care of.

"Uncle Gong, I heard that this time it was said that Qin was your envoy, and he talked to us. What kind of character is the Shenwu Marquis of the Qin State, is it like the legend, with three heads and six arms? ”

With Xiang Bo maneuvering around, the atmosphere on the stage was enlivened again. It's just that on the side near Xiang Yu in the center, it is still quiet and no one dares to speak loudly.

After Xiang Yu got on the high platform, he sat directly in the center. Heavy pupils stared straight at a somewhat old thick roster in front of him, this roster was none other than the list of Qin troops who had been captured after the battles of Julu and Thorn Plains four years ago. Looking at it, some of the figures were already recorded four years ago, but from these figures, we can also recall the momentum of the Chu army at that time.

Xiang Ying is escorting some of the Qin army prisoners, the reason why Xiang Yu wants to let these Qin soldiers who have been captured for four years come to Chenggao mainly has two purposes, one is to hit the morale of the Qin army, after all, the Qin army under Li Yuan has been invincible recently, and the limelight has overshadowed Xiang Yu's Chu army; Second, in order to exchange with Li Yuan, the Chu army urgently needed and had to obtain from the Qin army: war horses and their saddles, horses and other accessories.

Among these two purposes, the second is what Xiang Yu values the most, to be honest, what is the actual effect of this alliance, Xiang Yu has long since stopped paying attention, he is concerned about the tangible benefits of making the Chu army strong.

"After seeing the yellow-skinned and thin-skinned captives who fall down in the wind, what will Li Yuan do? Did he turn around and leave indifferently, or did he agree to the conditions put forward by Chu State with pity? ”

When Xiang Yu was thinking about it and didn't know the essentials, there was finally a shout from the audience that made him wait for a long time: "Report, the Shenwu Marquis of the Qin State has arrived!" ”

――。

Li Yuan went to the appointment.

Whether it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or a cliff, he did not retreat, Chen Ping's persuasion, Ying Yushu's crying, and the generals' letters of invitation to war could not make him change his mind.

Everyone thought that Li Yuan stubbornly insisted on his opinion, just for the sake of face, but he didn't want to lose to Xiang Yu in front of everyone.

Is that really the case?

Of course not.

In the silk letter that Xiang Yu entrusted Xiang Bo to hand over, there was another sentence: That is, the life and death of 150,000 Qin army prisoners, just in his Xiang Yu's thoughts, if you want these people to live, you will go to Chenggao for a while.

150,000 people.

This number made Li Yuan's heart heavy, although in recent years, the Qin army has achieved consecutive victories in various battlefields, but behind this victory, there is a huge hidden worry: that is, the strength of the Qin State has reached the limit, and in the last resort, Li Yuan has begun to order the conscription of Qiang people, Yueshi people, and Di people to join the ranks of the Qin army, in order to cope with the shortage of soldiers.

Under such circumstances, Xiang Yu threw out the bait of releasing 150,000 Qin prisoners, and if Li Yuan did not agree to the meeting, then Xiang Yu could announce on the high platform: immediately kill these soldiers, because their country does not need them, because their favorite hero Li Yuan abandoned them.

Therefore, no matter what, Li Yuan has to come, the life and death of 150,000 people, he can't care about it, this is righteousness, this is human nature, and this is what a responsible man must do.

Eight hundred Yue clan soldiers, two thousand cavalry, this is the soldiers brought by Li Yuan to guard, compared with Xiang Yu's three thousand cavalry, it looks a little shabby, and it is also a little contemptible, but when Zhang Er, Shusun Tong and others cast their disdainful eyes on Li Yuan, who was walking on the high platform, they almost lowered their heads in unison.

Li Yuan was dressed in leather armor worn by an intermediate lieutenant officer of the Qin Army, and his hair was simply combed into a bun, and a black plate hat brim made of unknown material was used on it.

The only thing that is special is the specially made ring-headed horizontal knife on Li Yuan's waist, in this era when the sword is generally used as a killing weapon, the use of knives is not popular, and Li Yuan's knife is still made of iron.

is such an ordinary officer who can no longer be ordinary, but the moment he ascends the high platform, he gives people a strong sense of oppression, which is different from Fang Cai Xiang Yu's coming to power.

Xiang Yu is the kind of violent momentum that sweeps everything and is invincible; And Li Yuan is like an unsheathed sword, although it looks inconspicuous, once the sword is out of the sheath, the light will surely shine.

"Haha, Li Hou is really a young hero, he was in a hurry in the past, and he couldn't compete for a real chapter, today zaijian, but he has to give it a try." Seeing that Li Yuan suddenly attracted the attention of the audience, Xiang Yu rolled his eyes and shouted loudly.

Fight.

This proposal made the envoys and celebrities of all parties sit down in unison, and for them, they could see the contest between the two great powers of Qin and Chu, and for them, it was the capital to brag in front of the princes in the future.

Xiang Yu is agitating.

Compared with the height of the two people, Xiang Yu is half a head taller than Li Yuan, which is not to say that Li Yuan is not tall, the main reason is that Xiang Yu is too perverted, according to the measurement of later generations, it is about 1.9 meters.

This kind of competition is not at the same level, if it is really carried out, Li Yuan will undoubtedly suffer a lot, and Xiang Yu also saw this, so he confidently put forward the request for heads-up.

Bullying the small with the big.

From the point of view of fairness, it is not appropriate for Xiang Yu to propose this, however, as a party concerned, Xiang Yu does not think so, Li Yuan's unyielding and tenacious are deeply rooted in his heart, and unconsciously, Xiang Yu has actually regarded Li Yuan as an opponent of the same level.

"Today's alliance is a rare opportunity for Qin and Chu to discuss the world's major affairs with the princes and heroes, and there are many people who have fought with my Great Qin army on the battlefield, and today we will meet again, and Li has a word to tell you: The door of my Great Qin will always be open to you, as long as the princes let go of their obsessions, in Guanzhong, in Bashu, in Nanyang, Hedong, and in many places in Great Qin, there will be a place for you." Li Yuan glanced at Xiang Yu and said to Zhang Er, Shusun Tong and the others who were sincerely panicked.

"Li Yuan, what do you mean by this, are you too timid to fight?" Xiang Yu was swept away by Li Yuan's indifferent eyes, and the anger in his heart surged, and he shouted loudly.

"The courage of the overlord, the world knows it, is this more interesting than the test? If you want to compare, how about the Qin and Chu armies each send a thousand generals to practice on the banks of this river? Li Yuan replied with a sneer.

Singled out.

Xiang Yu will undoubtedly have the upper hand; But if it is a battle formation art of war, among the three thousand Jiangdong disciples brought by Xiang Yu, none of them can compare with Gan Yong in the Qin army.

Xiang Yu was stunned, his face was gloomy for a while, and then he began to breathe a sigh of relief, and said to the people who were still standing at a loss: "Princes, sit down, today's covenant is that my Great Chu will seek justice from the Qin State for all the princes, and since Li Hou wants to be fair, then return the encroached place first." ”

As soon as Xiang Yu said this, Zhang Er and a few others immediately became excited, and they also said loudly: "What the overlord said is very reasonable, if the Qin State wants to be fair, it must first return the encroached Zhao Land, Hedong Land, as well as Nanjun and Nanyang County, otherwise, the Overlord will give an order, and the Guandong princes will respond together, will the Qin State still be able to resist at that time?"
