The morale of the Chu army was high.

No one thought that they would lose, and the several big victories in the past two years were telling them that as long as Xiang Yu wanted to win, none of them could stop it.

The busyness of the long-distance expedition replaced the joy of the reunion, since returning from the eastern part of the Guandong, Xiang Yu led the Chu army all the way to the east and west, sweeping away the various shili of the Chu land, and finally smoothly incorporated the original eastern territory of the Chu State into his own name in one fell swoop.

The prestige of the overlord is in full swing.

As long as it was a battle for Xiang Yu, the Chu army was not defeated.

After the court meeting, the Chu army issued a general mobilization order, and a total of 70,000 elite Chu troops began to prepare for long-distance battles, and these 70,000 Chu troops also included about 3,000 cavalry troops directly under Xiang Yu's direct jurisdiction.

The leader of this Chu cavalry is Xiang Yu's cousin, the fierce general Xiang Zhuang.

Different from the crossbow cavalry that galloped across the Qin State, Xiang Yu's cavalry was completely modeled after the naked cavalry ridden by the Huns in the steppe, in other words, it completely relied on the legs and hips of the liliang to support the body on the horse, which put forward high requirements for the cavalry's riding skills, Xiang Yu selected from tens of thousands of Chu troops, and only made up three thousand people.

Pengcheng West.

Chu army barracks.

Xiang Zhuang, who received the vanguard task, returned to the barracks, and discussed with the two deputy generals Xiao Gongjiao and Huan Chu, saying that it was a discussion, and with Xiang Zhuang's temper, Xiao and Huan only followed Xiang Zhuang's orders.

"Unexpectedly, within a few months, Li Thief occupied Guanzhong, and the number of people under his command has also expanded a lot, what a pity, if my Xiangzhuang is in Xianyang, where will it be Li Thief's turn to be rampant?" Xiang Zhuang sighed, stomped his foot and vented.

Compared with Zhong Liwu, Ji Bu and others, Xiang Zhuang was able to attend such meetings that decided important military decisions, but he did not have the right to speak. This made him feel extremely aggrieved. In fact, in the military meeting of the Chu army, except for Xiang Yu, no one else could make a decision on behalf of Xiang Yu.

In a word.

In a word.

Xiang Yu's bravery allowed him to win the height that no one could reach in this era, but it also made him a hero and lonely. Other young generals such as Xiang Zhuang and Huan Chu basically did not have the opportunity to exercise.

"Major General, this time the king agreed to send troops, are we really the vanguard?" Xiao Gongjiao asked with excitement on his face. After experiencing the big scene of more than 400,000 troops tearing apart from Qin, the generals of the Chu army were no longer interested in such a small role as chasing and killing Tian Rong.

"Absolutely." Xiang Zhuang's eyes were bright, revealing the enthusiasm and impulse that young people longed for.

"Major General. When the army goes out on the march, the grain and grass go first, and I wonder if the forage needed for our army's horses, the grain for the soldiers, and the weapons and arrows have been prepared. Compared with Xiao Gongjiao's eagerness, Huan Chu is much calmer.

In history, Huan Chu has been following Xiang Yu to fight, and in the Battle of Qixia, in order to cover Xiang Yu's breakthrough, Huan Chu and Xiang Zhuang led a little force of Zuihou. launched a desperate counter-charge against the encircled Han and Qi coalition forces. Its tragedy is no less than that of Xiang Yu, who killed himself in Wujiang.

Xiang Yu has such a general, but he doesn't know that they can be trained. You must know that the younger generations who are kept around you will never grow up.

However, this time, because of Li Yuan's unexpected appearance, Xiang Yu made an unusually bold decision when he sent troops. The reason for such a change may be that Li Yuan is younger than Xiang Yulai, bullying a child, Xiang Yu will more or less feel that he has lost the face of his overlord.

May 10th.

Chu rode three thousand, after swearing to Pengcheng, like a storm and clouds embarked on the road to the west, at this time, Xiang Zhuang, Huan Chu's hearts were full of infinite desire for victory, for the possible hard war, their hearts, there was not much preparation.

Advance westward into the Chu army.

The military marquis Lu Yong rode on the war horse, arched his back, and endured the faint pain caused by the wound with a pale face, the wound on his back was left when he fought in Qidi not long ago, it was not deep, but a lot of blood was shed, Lu Yong only felt that he was swept on his back by the enemy general's halberd at that time, and he didn't remember anything after a hot pain.

"Army Hou, what's the matter, the old injury has recurred, there is a haode gold creation medicine here, paste it first." A horse approached quickly, and the person who spoke was a man with a rough voice, Lian Lin, a general who had enlisted from Jiangdong with Lu Yong.

"No need, the soldiers are fast, bear with it first, it's too late, the young general is to blame!" Lu Yong let out a long breath and freed up one hand to refuse.

"Xiang Zhuang, hum, how can a person who is so happy to achieve great things." Lian Lin snorted dissatisfiedly, and approached Lu Yong and said angrily.

"General Liantun, the hour is not early, urge all departments, hurry up, and camp in Dangxian County tonight." Lu Yong warned Lian Lin with his gaze, and then shouted an order.

"No!" Lian Lin Ying made a sound, gave a whistle and rushed towards Chu Qi.

Looking at Lian Lin's sturdy back, Lu Yong sighed in his heart, Lian Lin has been in the army for two or three years, and he can be regarded as a veteran in the Chu army.

was repeatedly denounced by his colleagues when he was promoted, which made Lian Lin stagnate in this position all along, and Lu Yong's ability was actually inferior to Lian Lin, but now his position is one level higher than Lian Lin.

The Chu army, which once took military merit as a measure of promotion, is losing its vitality little by little, in a big haode situation, the soldiers of the Chu army will not think about it, the ancient training of prosperity and decline, continuous battles, in fact, have made the veterans who have followed Xiang Yu for many years physically and mentally exhausted, their desire for victory is no longer strong, they are more hoping to return home, reunite with their parents and relatives, and enjoy the rest of their days.

Xiang Yu, who was immersed in the aura of glory, no longer came to the ordinary soldiers' camp as before, to ask them what they were thinking and what they needed, and he was used to giving orders, and he was getting farther and farther away from the Jiangdong disciples who had fought side by side.

――。

Chu, the royal palace.

The sun shines on a new morning, shining indoors on a high hill.

Xiang Yu lay lazily on the brocade couch covered with flowers, his rough palm caressing the delicate and fair skin, and there was a sense of texture that made people tremble.

"King, how long are you going this time?" A magnetic voice sounded, and Yu Ji opened a pair of bright eyes. The head rests on the bumper strong chest. Yu Yu asked.

"It won't be long, two months at most, twenty days at least." Xiang Yu said confidently. Looking at Yu Ji's eyes, there was tolerance and love.

This little woman from Yudi is the beauty he just selected, not to mention beautiful, Guan Jian is still temperamental. This woman's temperament is as gentle as water, just like a clear spring that can be seen to the end, which makes Xiang Yu feel the relaxed state of being taken care of when he is tired from the battle.

"King, the northwest is bitterly cold, Ah Yu thought. Knitting a shawl for the king, but the time was too tight, and it only became a short piece of kudzu cotton material-! Yu Ji said as she got up and took out a flaming red tissue from the box behind the couch.

Xiang Yu smiled, only saw Yu Ji busy and didn't speak, let Yu Ji put on a short red scarf for him, and then fiddled with how to tie the knot to be considered beautiful and beautiful, this brave and invincible man on the battlefield. Returned home. Facing your loved ones is like a child.

Perhaps, Yu Ji's personality is not strong. In the eyes of many people, it is not enough to be qualified for the princess, but in Xiang Yu's heart, Yu Ji is the most suitable.

A beautiful and lovely, gentle woman, without too much ambition, without the trap of intrigue, some just need a little man's favor, such a woman is what he Xiang Yu needs.

Like Liu Bang, marrying a strong enough woman, Lu Pheasant's intelligence can make the man who talks to her 10,000 years vigilant, such a woman is like a poisonous snake, making him shudder every day.

"King, this expedition, my eldest brother is also going, can you arrange a more stable messenger." Yu Ji said with some expectations.

Xiang Yu's eyes froze, he picked up Yu Ji's pretty face, stared at it for a long time, from Yu Ji's simple eyes, there was no trace of impurities, some were just thick worry.

"This time, he served as the chief general of the rear army. Responsible for escorting grain and straw. Xiang Yu sighed lightly and replied.

"Well, Ayu thanks the king for the gift. The next time I go on an expedition, the slave family must accompany me, and the king is not allowed to refuse me. Yu Ji jumped up happily, her light body dancing like a butterfly.

Yu Zi is Yu Ji's eldest brother, his eldest brother's messenger actually doesn't need Yu Ji to say anything, Xiang Yu will also arrange it properly, the rear army comes and goes between Pengcheng and the front army, just convenient to contact, there is Yu Zi period This line is there, and the news of Xiang Yu is sent back from time to time, which can also make Yu Ji relieve her thoughts a little.

"What if I don't agree?" Xiang Yu smiled and teased.

"Then, if the king doesn't want Ah Yu to accompany him, Ah Yu won't accompany him, but here in Pengcheng, it's not very peaceful, so that the slave family is scared all day long." Yu Ji snuggled beside Xiang Yu and whispered.

"Ah Yu don't worry, the princes of this world, which one will be my opponent, when I defeat the Qin people, I will go back and wipe out the remnants of the Qi Ditian clan, and see which one dares to fight my Pengcheng idea." Xiang Yu was full of confidence and looked arrogant.

"Well, the king is pulling out the mountains and covering the world, others don't know, but the slave family knows." Yu Ji's face turned red, and there was a little glutinous in her voice, which made people think about it.

"Haha, those who know me, Yu'er also." Xiang Yu smiled, put on a fiery red kudzu scarf with satisfaction, and strode out of the dormitory.

Xiang Yu and Yu Ji's relationship is very harmonious, which may make many people strange, in fact, this kind of harmony is also normal, which is due to the complementarity of their personalities. Although Xiang Yu, who has lacked the care of his parents since he was a child, is taken care of by his uncle Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang is not just a nephew of Xiang Yu, Xiang's family has to take care of him, and Xiang Yu does not get much attention.

Therefore, from Xiang Yu's heart, he is very eager to have a home, and someone who has always paid attention to him and regarded him as a great reliance.

At this point, Yu Ji did a good job. (To be continued.) )
