In a battle around Yandi, the three powerful groups fought for a summer, and the result was that one party was satisfied, and the other two parties reluctantly withdrew.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

This winter, for the tribes on the steppe, life will be extremely difficult. Especially those tribes who lost their able-bodied men in the battle against Yandi, and at the same time, after the failure of the Yan conquest, Maudun's authority was inevitably weakened, and those who were ready to move would once again raise the banner of resistance.

In fact, from the perspective of species evolution, the competition between the Xiongnu tribes is much more direct than that of the southern countries under the feudal social system, but it is precisely this kind of endless tearing and killing that makes the peaceful days on the grassland always seem extraordinarily short.

However, on the whole, Mao Dun still has a chance to make a comeback, in contrast, Xiang Yu's Chu State has no ambition to dominate the world after this heavy blow.

Xiang Yu's left hand was completely useless.

It was cut off by the Huns from the wrist, and the nervous system connected to the blood vessels was all necrotic, even if it was treated by the most powerful famous doctor of this era, there was no possibility of replanting.

A crippled emperor.

A man who fell from the altar of a victorious general.

Xiang Yu's pain is not only in the physical trauma, but also in the psychology. In the solemn atmosphere of sorrow, the Chu army returned to their homeland, and those Chu soldiers who were lucky to survive did not have an expression of joy and joy on their faces, and on their backs, clay pots filled with the ashes of their companions reminded them all the time.

The glory of the Chu people will no longer exist, and the heroes that people talk about today are none other than their former mortal enemies: the Qin people.

From the time Li Yuan led the army to recover Xianyang, in just five years, the Qin army swept across the north, south, east and west, and won one victory after another with unstoppable momentum, in the process. The territory of the Qin State shrank from 36 counties and 70 Chidao to only one county of Yongqi, and then rapidly expanded to the current 17 counties.

Qiang Qin's courage frightened the crowd, and also made some careerists blush.

Among these people, there are many fish who have been hit by Li Yuan many times and escaped, taking advantage of the gap between the main force of the Qin army to the north, they began to gather in one place, forming a new potential liliang.

Jiujiang County.

Located between Jiangdong and Jingchu, there are thousands of miles of Daze, as well as vast dense forests and high mountains, south of the river. It is a scattered plain where Daze and the mountains are intertwined, and to the north of the river, there are the remaining veins of Funiu Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain and many other mountains intertwined, so that outsiders who do not know the terrain are daunted.

Such a place is a natural refuge for thieves, and more importantly, in addition to the favorable topography, the great rivers that run through the east and west also bring inexhaustible rewards to the thieves.

Among the thieves. It is a well-deserved industry leader.

Since the end of the first emperor's reign, Tu Bu has been engaged in the business of robbing houses and houses on the river, and his most glorious record is to rob the fleet of the Qin army transporting grain from the southern expedition to Baiyue. The First Emperor, who was extremely angry, immediately ordered to send out an encirclement and suppression force to arrest Tu Bu, which is also the reason why Tu Bu was tattooed on his forehead.

After Chen Wangsheng and Wu Guang rose up, Duo Bu fled back from Lishan. Pull up a group of thieves in the river again and do business, of course, this time he also has a righteous name: rebel against the tyrannical Qin.

Xiang Liang crossed the river to the north, and Duo Bu led his brothers to join the Chu army. And with the decisive strength of killing, he quickly became a fierce general in the Chu army, and his troops were often the front, especially in the Battle of Julu, Di Bu's troops and General Pu took the lead in attacking the Qin army's Yongdao, cutting off the connection between Wang Li's army and Zhang Han's army, thus laying the foundation for Xiang Yu to break the cauldron and sink the boat in nine battles and nine victories.

If this situation continues, and the close cooperation between Xiang Yu and Di Bu, the Chu army will indeed have no opponents, but unfortunately, Fan Zeng's proposal to divide the feudal princes, as well as Di Bu's hesitation in dealing with the issue of Huai Wang Xiongxin, have reduced the trust of Xiang and Di to the freezing point.

Subsequently, Dubu returned to Jiujiang, and he was disgruntled, and under the persuasion of Sui He, he raised an army to attack Chu, and this time the opposition made Dibu completely stand on the opposite side of Xiang Yu.

In the past year, Xiang Yu has also repeatedly raised up to encircle and suppress the thieves in the Jiujiang area, but they have all returned in vain, and the Tubu entrenched in this area has the advantages of time, place, and people.

This time, Xiang Yu's northern expedition to Yandi was defeated, and the news was transmitted back to Jiujiang, which made the depressed and long-awaited Tu Bu very excited, the former brother, the current enemy, Tu Bu felt that without his own assistance, Xiang Yu, the invincible Chu overlord who was praised by everyone, had not achieved any decent results on the battlefield.

In the battle of Tiger Prison, the Chu army lost its troops and lost its generals.

In the battle between Yanbei and the Xiongnu, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties.

In such a situation, whether Xiang Yu is still capable of leading the Chu State will have to put a big question mark, and the candidate to replace him, Di Bu confidently believes that he is the only one who can do it.

Six counties.

Jiujiang County Governance.

In the residence of the cloth, the furnishings in the house are extremely luxurious, the silk from Jiangdong, the tortoiseshell from the East China Sea, the brocade feathers of the South Vietnam, and the weaving and embroidery of the Bashu area can be found here in the cloth, the waterway passage of the river, so that the big leader of the cloth has the same wealth as the prince.

Bedroom backyard.

The place where only the inner family can enter is divided into two courtyards, the east courtyard is the residence of Wu Rui, the daughter of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, and Wu Ji, the wife of Tu Bu, and the west courtyard is the place where Lu Yuan, the concubine of Tu Bu Xinna, lives.

Wu Ji is the wife who robbed his wife when he was a thief, although her father is Wu Rui, but this king of Changsha is only a prince in the eyes of Huang Bu, Changsha is located in the central south, the land is sparsely populated, and the soldiers who can fight under Wu Rui are not more than 10,000 people, and even the thieves under the hands of Huang Bu are not as good.

Lu Yuan, the daughter of Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant, is just sixteen years old, it is the time when the flower style is about to be released, compared with Wu Ji who has passed the year of Huaxin, Lu Yuan's advantage is that she is young and beautiful, and more importantly, she also has a helper: Lu Xu. The widow of the former Han general Fan Xu has completely walked out of the shadow of her husband's death in battle, and it was the year of the tiger and wolf that she quickly took the initiative to give her arms after being plundered by the black cloth.

Aunt and niece, two women with a close blood relationship and different generations serve a man together, this strange style makes Duo Bu completely lost in the gentle township.

Under the influence of Lü Xu and Lu Yuan, Di Bu gradually began to snub Wu Ji, and reused the Lu clansmen who defected, especially after Zhao was occupied by the Qin army, Lü Pheasant, Lü Ze, Lü Shizhi and other people surnamed Lü successively defected to Jiujiang, and their arrival also made some of the desperate Han remnants who were expelled by the Qin army see a place to survive.

In July, Zhang Er, the displaced and impoverished former king of Changshan, brought his son Zhang Ao to Jiujiang, and was subsequently appointed as minister of state by Dubu.

In August, Lü Pheasant suggested to Tu Bu that he go to Funiu Mountain, where Zhang Liang had retreated, and invite this great think tank of the former Han Kingdom to come out of the mountain again and re-form a team similar to the strong think tank around Liu Bang. As soon as Duo Bu heard Zhang Liang's name, he was also excited for a while, but unfortunately, when they finally arrived at the place where Zhang Liang lived in seclusion, they found that this famous man had wandered and disappeared.

Failed to invite Zhang Liang, and Duo Bu and Lu Pheasant thought of a roundabout strategy to persuade Zhang Liang's son Zhang Budo to serve in Jiujiang County, but Zhang Budo, who was less than 20 years old, was obviously not as wise as Lao Tzu, and the young Confucian who could not be praised happily came to the place where thieves and conspirators were entrenched, and took up an official position as a doctor who did not live up to his name.

At the end of August, after a period of recruitment, the princes of the world were propagated, and he proclaimed himself the king of Jiujiang, leading the four counties of Yuzhang, Lujiang, Hengshan and Jiujiang, and there were about more than 100,000 people under his jurisdiction.

30,000 troops.

This is in the vast and sparsely populated, and remote Dajiang Daze area, is a stomp and stomp, shaking the heavens and the earth, Huang Bu immediately swore in the six counties, raised troops to the east, and led the water division to kill the base of the Chu State: Jiangdong.

Gangnam area.

It is mainly the area where Huiji County is located, and there are 22 counties under its jurisdiction: Wu County, Lou County, Qu'a, Dantu, Jiangcheng, Moling, Danyang, Yangmei, Yan County, Wucheng, Yuhang, Qiantang, Youquan, Haiyan, Shanyin, Juzhang, Yinxian, Zhuji, Wusheng, Damo, Shexian and Yixian.

During this period of turmoil in the Central Plains, the displaced people from Jiangbei have migrated to the south of the river, and many of them have moved to the areas of Haiyan, Wucheng and Yuhang in Wuxian County, and the arrival of these displaced people has also added vitality to the economic development of Jiangdong.

After the Great Sima Zhou Yin was transferred to Pengcheng to sit in the town, the Jiangdong area was mainly governed by Xiang Yu's clan uncle, Huiji County Shou Xiang Han, Xiang Han's ability can be rated as medium within the Xiang family, and in a broader range, it will be directly classified into the middle and lower range.

In the face of Duo Bu's aggressive attack, Xiang Han ridiculously ordered to gather all the county soldiers in the Jiangdong area, and hastily formed a defensive line in the Qu'a area, trying to defeat the Duo Bu with the rabble under his command, in order to prove his ability, and his illusory dream was quickly dashed under the blow of the Jiujiang army.

In just half a day's battle, the defense line composed of 20,000 people of the Jiangdong Chu army collapsed, Xiang Han died in the chaos, and Huang Bu almost swept Jiangdong with the momentum of breaking bamboo, bringing this piece of anointed land under his rule. (To be continued......)
