On the wall of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu stood proudly on it, staring intently at the soldiers of the Chu State who were busy sorting out their clothes in the military camp in the distance, and did not move for a long time.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Xiang Yu didn't look back, but just whispered, "You're here." ”

Ji Bu answered, and said; "Young master, the army's suits and grain and grass have been fully equipped, and they can set off tomorrow."

Xiang Yu turned around, looked at Ji Budao, and said, "You go and talk to Song Yi, after all, he is the boss now." ”

Ji Bu nodded, hesitated for a while and said: "Young master, although we strongly advocated the rescue of Zhao State this time, and successfully forced the king to agree to send troops to rescue at the court meeting, but the king divided the few soldiers and horses of my Great Chu into two armies, young master, you are just the second general of the condescending North Road." ”

Ji Bu snorted again: "Thinking about how can Liu Bang be virtuous, when Xiang Gong was there, he just blindly bent his knees to greet him, like a dog." But he was praised by Chen Ying as a benevolent and righteous elder, and he was named the Marquis of Letian along with the young master. This time the soldiers were divided into two routes, and he actually became the commander of the Western Route Army, and the brothers all felt unfair for the young master. ”

Xiang Yu just glanced at him, his face did not show any joy and anger, and said in a slightly sneering tone; "Complaining is just the weak making excuses for their weakness, and the really strong will never complain, but will only make themselves stronger. Jib, you have to remember. ”

"Yes, young master." Ji Bu lowered his head and said in a respectful tone.

"Besides, although Liu Bang is the commander of the whole way, the ones under his command are just some rabble, most of them are the rags he brought out from Peixian, hmph, the elite of my Xiang family, how can he command it."

"The strategy we formulated this time is to focus on the Northern Route Army, go to Juluhui and the princes of the world to rescue the trapped Zhao army, Liu Bang's partial division is to directly attack the hinterland of Qin, but Qin is related to the solidity of the middle, and has the danger of four stops, how can it be so easy to capture. Therefore, Liu Bang is just to distract Qin Guo and relieve our positive pressure, which is also helpful to us. ”

"As for Song Yi." Xiang Yu's tone was stunned when he said this, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Who is I, Xiang Yu, he can also suppress me in vain." Although he is the main general, the elite of the Chu State is created by my Xiang family, and if I want to kill him, it will be like killing an old dog. At the beginning, he left my uncle and returned to Pengcheng alone before the Dingtao War, and after hearing that my uncle died tragically, he proudly showed off everywhere and said that he had reminded my uncle a long time ago. Such a villain, how can I, Xiang Yu, not kill. ”

"Then young master, when are you going to do it?"

Xiang Yu pondered for a while before he said: "This matter should not be in a hurry, if it is too close to the Chu State, I will kill him and seize power, I am afraid that his cronies in the army will flee back to Pengcheng in panic, and the gains will outweigh the losses." It is better to wait until the time of confrontation with the Qin army, when there is a strong enemy outside, and the soldiers will only obey my orders even if they are uneasy. ”

Ji Bu nodded, still a little hesitant to say; "Young master, it is very difficult to go to Julu, and there is an army of strong Qin outside. Zhang Han's subordinates were the newly victorious army, and he was originally a small general. Wang Li's northern army was even more elite in a hundred battles and had never been defeated. The combined army of Qin has 400,000 people, and my Chu army has less than 100,000, as for the other princes, I don't think they will necessarily work together with us, if we watch from the wall, then our Chu army is in danger! Young master, I know that you are conceited all your life and despise the heroes of the world, but I still want to advise you again, be cautious. ”

Although Xiang Yu and Ji Bu and others are vassals, they have extremely close personal relationships, so they don't get angry when they hear him say this, they just laugh; "You can rest assured, although I, Xiang Yu, am proud, I still have some measure. Hmph, Zhang Han Wang Li, are they very strong? In my opinion, they are just the first to sell the head, and I, Xiang Yu, will definitely be able to take their heads to sacrifice to my uncle. ”

Seeing that Ji Bu was still gloomy, he said again; "This time, I specially proposed to the king that Uncle Fan be the last general of the army and follow the army on the expedition, so you can rest assured."

Only then did Ji Bu put his mind at ease, he knew that if there was one person in this world who could cure Xiang Yu, it must be Fan Zeng. Moreover, Fan Zeng's strategy is extremely subtle, and he is a rare military advisor. With his wise general, coupled with Xiang Yu's courage and good fighting, even if he can't win, he won't lose too badly.

Xiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Ji Bu, this time you stay in Pengcheng and don't follow me on the expedition." After Uncle Fan and I leave, we must leave someone here to take care of them, otherwise the king and Chen Ying may not be able to keep to themselves. Liwei and Long are both generals, it's okay to let them charge into battle, this is not what they are good at. Your prestige in the army is second only to mine, so I hope you can keep this family business after I leave, and I will let the child stay to help you. ”

Jibu arched his hand; "It's all up to the young master's arrangement."

At this time, a person rushed up from under the city, and when he saw Xiang Yu and the others here, he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Yu, and Ji Bu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The person who came was the Yuzi period who had not met for a long time, and he was ordered by Xiang Liang to go south to the land of Wuyue to recruit troops during this time, and only now did he lead the new army to hurry back. Yu Ziqi and Xiang Yu have had a very good relationship since he was a child, so after Ji Bu and they all changed their names to call him the young master, he still insisted on calling Xiang Yu 'Brother Yu', and Xiang Yu didn't mind, but felt cordial.

Xiang Yu laughed, greeted him and patted him on the shoulder and smiled; "I just talked about you kid, you kid has arrived, and you're really not an ordinary person. I haven't kept you busy for the past three months, how are you doing, recruiting soldiers. ”

Yu Ziqi smiled and said; "Fortunately, I have not failed in my mission, I have recruited a total of 38,000 Jiangdong children in the south this time, all of them are fierce and brave, what is lacking is only training, and after a long time, it must be a tiger army."

Xiang Yu patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile; "Well done, so that we have a lot more troops at hand, then I will take all the old soldiers of Pengcheng away, and you will take the new army to train while assisting Ji Bu to stabilize the situation in Pengcheng."

Yu Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a disappointed face: "Brother Yu, won't you let me go to the battlefield this time?" ”

Ji Bu on the side didn't want Xiang Yu to be embarrassed, so he spoke; "In the sub-period, the young master and Mr. Fan naturally have their plans to arrange it like this, as long as we cooperate well, everything is based on the great cause of the Chu State."

Xiang Yu saw the disappointment on Yu Ziqi's face that could not be concealed, so he smiled slightly; "Zi period, I can't stand you this time, and when I attack Xianyang next time, I will definitely let you make a contribution."

"Is that true?"

"Look when I've been joking."

Yu Ziqi smiled and said, "It's about the same, then I have a lot of balance in my heart." ”

Xiang Yu looked at Ji Bu again and said, "You go and get busy with the business at hand first." ”

Ji Bu saw that Xiang Yu wanted to break up with himself, so he guessed that he had a personal matter to ask Yu Ziqi, so he turned around and retired. Sure enough, after Xiang Yu waited for him to leave, he muttered for a long time before asking about Yu Ziqi; "Uncle and Miaoyi are okay."

Yu Ziqi nodded, knowing that Xiang Yu was asking about his sister, and his father was just taken by the way. And he said; "When I went back to Wuzhong this time, I had already persuaded my father to move to Pengcheng. Wuzhong has been pacified for a long time, and there are not too many government affairs, and it is useless for my father to stay there, so I decided to go back to Pengcheng to report on my work. ”

After Xiang Liang went north, he asked Yu Qi to temporarily act as the county guard of Huiji, and now the state of Chu was in urgent need of civil officials, so he was recalled to Pengcheng.

When Xiang Yu heard that the Yu family was going to move to Pengcheng, he couldn't help but show joy and said happily; "It's great if my uncle can come and get it, if you have difficulty in buying a family business in Pengcheng, you can go to Ji Bu, he still has this ability."

"How's it going?"

Yu Ziqi's face darkened when he heard this, and he was silent for a while before he said; "It's not the same as before, I lock myself in my room all day, I rarely go out, I eat less, and I don't talk much. It's really distressing to see her like that, and I'm a brother like that. ”

Xiang Yu was silent for a long time before he sighed; "I didn't expect that I, Xiang Yu, despised everything in the world, but I was still trapped by love.

"Ziji, maybe I really shouldn't insist, she already has a place in her heart, and it is precisely because of my persistence that I and Brother Han Xin turn against each other, and the three of them are in pain."

Yu Ziqi had never heard of Xiang Yu's weakness, and couldn't help but be stunned. In my impression, Xiang Yu has always been a high-spirited person, and he has never regretted complaining, and today it is the first time he has said this.

Xiang Yu looked at him in surprise when he saw Yu Ziqi, shook his head with a wry smile, and said; "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how about I asked you to inquire about Han Xin's news?"

"When Han Xin left Wucheng back then, he walked in the direction of the north, so most of the people I sent out to investigate were going to the Central Plains. Last month, I got news that a young general in Xianyang City defeated the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops with only 10,000 horsemen, and captured the Xiongnu's royal city, and that person's name was Han Xin. I don't know if it's the same person. ”

"Oh!" Xiang Yu showed an interested look, "I have also heard of that person's deeds, and I was fascinated at the time, but I didn't expect it to be Han Xin's doing." ”

Yu Ziqi nodded, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, this Han Xin has a lot of similarities with the Han Xin we know, it must be him." ”

Xiang Yu laughed and said: "I think it must be him, I, a sworn brother, are resourceful and use soldiers like a god, if he can't get ahead, it will be a miracle." ”

He had a good eye at the time and picked the Northern Army, you must know that the Northern Army is the most elite main battle army in the Qin State, and he can indeed show his talent and ambition there. And what about his later news? ”

Yu Ziqi shook his head and said; "Later, it was strange, I sent someone to the Northland to investigate, but I never got any news from Han Xin again, as if he had evaporated from the world."

"Yes." Xiang Yu nodded, "Then continue to send someone to investigate, I am still very concerned about the whereabouts of this righteous brother, you must know that most of the three-year covenant has passed." ”

******

After negotiating with Wang Li, Han Xin did not rush to report to Zhang Han, but only sent someone to tell Zhang Han first, and he followed Wang Li's army south.

After receiving Zhang Han's assurances that the Northern Army and the Eighteen Counties of Hebei would not be involved, Wang Li's army finally left Yan Yu's camp, and more than 200,000 troops marched south and rushed straight to Julu City.

This time, Wang Li almost poured out of the nest in the south, with five main battle legions, and most of the county soldiers accompanying him, with a total of 220,000 foot cavalry, leaving less than 70,000 people to stay in the north to prevent the invasion of the Huns.

After the northern army went south, it quickly defeated several guards of Zhao State, and Zhao Xie had to give up all the cities in order to reduce losses, and retreated into Julu City to wait for reinforcements, while Wang Li's army quickly surrounded Julu City.

At this time, the reinforcements of the princes from all walks of life also arrived in Julu County, the closest was the 40,000 elite soldiers recruited by Chen Yu from Dai County, who wanted to break through the defense line of the Qin army and enter the city to rescue, but was frightened by the northern army's climatic rush, and left 5,000 corpses and retracted into the camp.

Yan King Han Guang sent to rescue Zhao was Zang Di's 60,000 troops, and Qi came to the aid of two groups of people, one for Tian Rong's 60,000 troops, one for Xiang Liang's Tian An to bring 40,000 horses, plus more than 100,000 troops of Song Yi of Chu State, and other dozen people of various types, the total number of rebel troops has exceeded the Qin army.

The small Julu City has attracted nearly one million troops from all over the world, and the eyes of the world's heroes have turned to this once inconspicuous small city.

A great battle is about to unfold that will determine the fate of the whole world!
