Peng Yue Enwei and Shi both.

Time was pressing, he did not have the time to lobby the bandit leaders one by one, but all those who disagreed, he was subdued or eliminated by him with thunderous gestures, and the remaining robbers either had the intention to surrender, or went with the flow, after a bloody mobilization before the war, Peng Yue gathered a total of more than 4,000 bandits.

Four thousand people.

If the two armies were faced off with real swords and guns, the Peng Yue thief army would be a usable army at best, but from another angle, when this robber army that was familiar with the terrain, style, human feelings, and even the accent of Chu appeared in the Chu realm, the nightmare of the Chu army's baggage troops began.

Late July, early August.

From Pengcheng to the chasm, from Pengcheng to Jishui.

Peng Yue, Hu Xu, and Luan Bu each led a part of the way to attack, and the rear of the Chu State was disturbed into a mess, and many baggage troops were attacked, and the grain and straw that were finally collected and the weapons that were hard to make were looted by groups of chaotic people who came from nowhere before they could be transported to the front.

Under the frenzied attack of the robbers, it became more and more difficult for the Chu army to supply its baggage, and the more time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for the Chu State.

Pengcheng.

After Xiang Yu divided the princes, the Western Chu State built its capital in Pengcheng, the capital of a country, in terms of scale and courage is naturally extraordinary, can not be compared with the general county town, especially in the last three years, the Chu State heard that Li Yuan made a new famous city Chang'an, out of comparison and disobedience, Pengcheng is also a big construction, the scale of the Chu palace stretches several hills, than the Afang Palace of the year is not much behind.

These days, harassed by bandits, the gates of Pengcheng are heavily guarded, and the gates are only opened for one hour in the morning and evening, and the people who come and go must show a certificate issued by the Chu government to pass.

In a busy and tense atmosphere, the people of Chu ushered in the summer of the eighth year of the founding of the Western Chu State, eight years. The state of Chu was once glorious and favored by princes everywhere, but now, with the strong rise of the Qin state in the west, this country on the coast of the East China Sea based on military force is beginning to show signs of decline.

At the foot of the Chu Palace, there is the main hall of deliberations.

These days, Xiang Guoxiang Tuo, who is about fifty years old, has a pale face, the hand holding the pen is trembling slightly, and he has not rested well for many days, which makes his body overdrawn.

Banditry is rampant. Xiang Tuo of the State of Chu, who was presiding over the rear, was anxious, and he had the intention to send troops to encircle and suppress Peng Yue, but after testing the meaning of a few Chu generals who stayed behind, he had to give up.

The generals of the Chu army, but all those who are close to the Xiang clan have been dispatched, and the remaining generals, such as Wuchen and Yu Ziqi, who have been hollowed out, Xiang Tuo does not dare to use them. In case these generals who were dissatisfied with the Xiang clan were given military power, then as long as a mutiny was launched, he Xiang Tuo would not even be able to find a place to cry.

Internally, there are dissidents who are trying to seize power. Externally, there are strong enemies like the Qin State eyeing each other, and Xiang Tuo, the minister of a country, has really worked hard, if it weren't for the interests of the Xiang family. Why should he suffer this hardship, it's just that Xiang Tuo's hard work can really understand people. Even in the Xiang clan, there are not many.

Competition between countries.

The competition is a comprehensive national strength, due to the difference in national policies, Chu and Qin have embarked on two different paths from the beginning, relying on Xiang Yu's prestige, coupled with the concerted efforts of the children of the Xiang family, the Western Chu State has also made great strides when it was founded, but in the subsequent series of power struggles, Xiang's conservative employment policy has been criticized.

As the implementer of this policy, Xiang Tuo was even more on the cusp and was repeatedly attacked, especially when one after another Chu people became important generals and strategists of the Qin State, Xiang Tuo faced not only external doubts, but even Xiang Yu began to distrust Xiang Tuo.

On the case, it was a military emergency from the chasm, and the above news made Xiang Tuo frightened.

Xiang Yu died in battle!

Xiang Yu, known as the undefeated god of war on the battlefield, was surrounded by the enemy and died in the battle with the Qin army!

That's impossible.

Xiang Tuo's first reaction was that he thought that the news was not true, and everyone else could fail and die, but Xiang Yu would never die.

However, the people who wrote the emergency report were Xiang Han and Zhou Yin, one of these two people was the backbone of the Xiang family, and the other was also an old minister of the Chu State, so it was impossible for them to lie about such a major matter.

In addition to Xiang Yu's death, in this military report, it is also clearly written that more than 40,000 Chu army elites were almost wiped out, Xiang Han and Zhou Yin are now leading thousands of remnants of the defeated army to retreat to the area of Chen County, and they have already learned that there is news of Peng Yue's robbers on the periphery of Pengcheng, so they dare not come to the rendezvous.

"How, how is this good? If the officials and people in the city know that the people's hearts are in turmoil, the state of Chu will be over. Xiang Tuo was anxious, and cold sweat broke out on the back of his palms.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiang Tuo Zuihou came up with a way that was not a way, and that was to hide it. It can be concealed for a while, and at the same time, secretly transfer the wealth that the Xiang family has gathered over the years, and it is best to quickly transport it back to Jiangdong, and hide it in the mountains around Wuzhong and Huiji when the time comes, even if the Xiang family loses the Chu State, it will be able to let the family multiply.

After arranging all this, Xiang Tuo first convened an emergency meeting of the left-behind children of the Xiang family, as the only "strategist" in the Xiang family, Xiang Bo, who had been excluded by Xiang Tuo, was also invited, and Xiang Bo was given the task of going to Jishui this time to persuade Xiang Zhuang to quickly lead the troops back.

Xiang Yu is dead.

Xiang Han is overwhelmed.

Among the children of the Xiang family, there is only Xiang Zhuang who can rely on it, if Xiang Zhuang has any three strengths and two weaknesses in Jishui, there is no hope for Xiang Zuihou.

――。

Xiang Tuo deliberately suppressed the news of Xiang Yu's death, but in his panic, he forgot that Xiang Han might only send him a letter, but Zhou Yin would not.

As an old minister of the Chu State, Zhou Yin's personality belongs to the type of wall grass, when the Xiang family is strong, he will take refuge in Xiang Tuo, and when the Xiang family is weak, Zhou Yin is shaken.

Chu Palace.

Yu Ji's dormitory.

Almost the same urgent report was placed on the bookcase made of white jade, and Yu Ji, the princess of Chu, held her hair in a high bun and wore a thin white light veil, looking at these few lines of words in a daze, speechless for a long time.

"In the battle of the chasm, the overlord led the army to cross the river and assault, surrounded by the Qin people, and it is still uncertain whether he will live or die, maybe, in a few days, the overlord will be able to come back." Yu Ziqi stood aside with a dejected expression and comforted. After the failure of the joint Kuaicher to compete for the power of the court, Yu Ziqi basically faded out of the ranks of the Chu army, and only served as a nominal and nominal general in the army.

"Big brother, you can't even comfort people, in this case, if I had said it a few years earlier, maybe I would have believed it, but now, I only believe in the facts and believe in my own feelings." Yu Ji smiled sadly and said faintly.

"A few days ago, I had a dream, and I dreamed that the overlord was saying to me, Yu'er Yu'er, I'm tired, take care-! It's been so long since he's spoken to me as much as he did this time. Yu Ji's voice was empty and cold, echoing through the spacious palace.

"Big brother, you also know that the Qin State is no longer the Qin State of the past, the overlord is no longer the overlord of the past after losing his arm, the ability of the Qin Wuhou, you have not seen it, if he calculates people, no matter how brave and powerful the overlord is, what can he do?"

Yu Ji said while combing her makeup seriously in front of the bronze mirror, which was not inferior to the girl's delicate appearance, and two lines of tears rolled down silently.

The heart is moved, and the heart is cold.

Heartbroken, heartbroken again.

For Xiang Yu, she has gone from falling in love with each other, to having an estrangement, and now to being separated from each other by ghosts, the ups and downs are not in it, and it is impossible to comprehend them.

August 10.

A team of defeated soldiers escorted Xiang Yu's body back to Pengcheng.

Xiang Tuo took a team of Xiang family soldiers, took over ten miles outside the city, and secretly buried Xiang Yu in the tomb of the King of Chu who had just been excavated.

A generation of heroes.

Since then, Xiang Yu's short life has been like a meteor, blooming and extinguishing in an instant, leaving behind endless regrets. (To be continued......)
