A country that is supported only by force is like a fortress built on a sand dune, when a storm is over, only a piece of sand remains.

Xiang Tuo, Xiang Zhuang and others, unable to replace Xiang Yu, continued to dominate this country that only lasted for eight years.

Xiang Tuo's secret funeral moves, although it was hidden for a while, but it could not be hidden from everyone's eyes for a long time, after learning that Xiang Yu's body had been put into the tomb, and he didn't even see Zuihou, Yu Ji, who had been patient, finally couldn't control her excitement anymore, at the same time, those old ministers of Chu who were excluded were also excited, and all the dissatisfaction with Xiang broke out at this moment.

"Xiang Tuo mistook the country, and Xiang's dictatorship ——!"

"The overlord was killed by those shameless guys with the surname, and I heard that these scourges were carrying things, and they were about to escape——!

"Kill Xiang Tuo, kill the ——! of the surname Xiang"

The people of Pengcheng burst out all their depression and resentment almost in an instant, and in the past few years, the reason why they have suppressed and supported the Chu State is not because of the bullshit Xiang family, but because Xiang Yu, who is this man who stands up to the sky, has brought supreme pride to the Chu people.

Now, Xiang Yu is dead.

In addition to the high taxes and heavy burdens of the Chu people, what else does Xiang Tuo, the state of Chu? No, no, as for the other Xiang children, they are enjoying a luxurious life in Pengcheng one by one, why can they be like this, it is not because of Xiang Tuo's support behind them.

Overnight, Pengcheng was plunged into turmoil.

Xiang Tuo fled from the city with his cronies in the chaos, and the old ministers of the Chu State, Chen Wangsheng's former generals, and the leaders of the Cangtou Army, Wu Chen, gradually controlled the situation by virtue of their seniority and prestige.

In mid-August, Zhou Yin and Xiang Han, who had retreated from the chasm, were surrounded by the Qin army at Yingshui, and Zhou Yin, persuaded by Ji Bu, led his troops to surrender to the state of Chu. Subsequently. Jiujiang County, Chen County, and Dang County, which belonged to the Chu State, either raised troops in response, or were occupied by the Qin army, and Western Chu, which originally owned the land of seven counties, lost half of its country in an instant.

August 16.

Xiang Zhuang, who learned of Xiang Yu's death from multiple channels, in desperation, ordered more than 10,000 Chu army generals to retreat from the Jishui line. These days, the plot he was trying to get rid of Zhong Liwu and then annex the Changshan Army was hastily ended without even having a chance to start implementing it.

With Zhong Li's old age. In a fit of rage and helplessness, Xiang Zhuang stabbed to death the Zhongsheng who offered the plan with a sword, and hurriedly pulled out the camp and fled to Pengcheng.

At the same time, after more than ten days of assembly, Han Xin's army numbered an astonishing 50,000 people, and these peasants, who had just thrown their hoes, did not even have decent weapons or uniform armor, so they rushed through Jishui with a shout. If it were a normal situation, it would be difficult for the rabble that Han Xin hastily formed to confront the Chu army, but this time, they were lucky to wait for the opportunity for the Chu army to escape without fighting spirit.

Xiang Zhuang was defeated.

At the beginning. He also tried to gather his troops and teach some lessons to Han Xinjun, who was pursuing behind, but what disappointed him was that Xiang Bo, a guy who only thought about drinking but didn't hold back. On the first night of arriving in the army, the news of Xiang Yu's defeat was revealed.

learned that Xiang Yu was killed in battle.

After the Chu army was shocked, he immediately lost all interest in the ensuing battle. All they want is to run back to their hometown and be honest farmers.

What fame and fortune?

It's all a fucking joke that makes people laugh.

Xiang Zhuang collapsed without a fight.

Han Xinjun also had to give up the pursuit after chasing for dozens of miles, Zhong Liwu's Changshan army was still resisting, Han Xin was worried that once the Qin army ran away, it would let Zhong Liwu seize the opportunity to make a sudden counterattack.

Two days later.

Surrounded on the south bank of Jishui, Zhong Liwu accepted Han Xin's persuasion to surrender, and led more than 6,000 people to lay down their arms, so far, the entire territory of Qi was annexed to Qin.

——。

Li Yuan's troops entered Pengcheng, and along the way, there were constantly scattered troops of the Qin army from all walks of life to converge, first of all, Chen Feng from the southern front battlefield, this time Chen Yuan's troops were progressing smoothly in the area of Chen County and Jiujiang County, and the soldiers of Chu County who stayed behind could be said to have no power to resist in the face of the Qin army.

Peng Yue's bandit troops then arrived, but he only came with about 500 strong bandits, and the main force of his troops was commanded by Hu Yu and Luan Bu, who were chasing the remnants of Xiangzhuang all the way.

Pengcheng.

Surrounded by the Qin legions.

The generals left behind in the city, only the Chu army that the military ministers desperately gathered together defeated more than 2,000 people, in addition, plus some old soldiers of the old department of the Yuzi period and the Cangtou army, the Chu army was only about 3,000 people. These people alone want to defend the city, it is like a pool of Arabian Nights.

In desperation, after some discussion, Wu Chen and Yu Ziqi asked Yu Ji to know, and decided to surrender the city.

August 21.

Li Yuan was in the area of the west gate of Pengcheng and accepted the surrender of the Chu State, and the other important ministers of the Chu State fled and did not know where to go. On behalf of the state of Chu, it was Yu Ji, the widow of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who faced such a woman who was dressed in plain clothes and did not use powder, even Li Yuan, who had always thought that he didn't care much about women, couldn't help but hold his breath.

Delicious and delicious.

A beautiful and incomparable woman like Yu Ji is already a blessing to be able to talk about it.

The world grasps it, and now Li Yuan has long passed the age when he is hungry and hungry, and he will be admitted to the inner mansion when he sees a woman, and he only has respect for Yu Ji, a famous woman in history.

——。

Tokai-gun.

The small city of Huaiyin, the hometown where Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch.

Xiang Zhuang retreated all the way, panicked all day, and when he arrived in Huaiyin, there were nearly 10,000 generals under his hand, and there were less than 5,000 people left.

The rest of the soldiers either fled halfway, or were chased by the Qin army or killed or captured, Xiang Zhuang At this time, he had no intention of defeating Han Xin, he had only one thought, that is, to flee to Jiangdong. Xiang Tuo's secret letter mentioned that in the past few months, the wealth secretly transported back to Jiangdong's hometown has been enough for the Xiang family to support the survival of several generations.

Koto.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is the hometown of the homeland.

As long as he can cross the river, Xiangzhuang will be a fish into the sea, and if the Qin people want to encircle and suppress him in the Jiangdong area, it is absolutely impossible to succeed without more than ten times the number of troops. Even with ten times the number of troops, Xiang Zhuang only needs to hide in the places where the Fan people and the Yue people live, and the Qin people can't find a place even if they want to find it.

When the limelight passes, Xiang Zhuang can call for troops and buy horses again, and fight out of the mountains and forests to win or lose with the Qin State.

"Xiangguo, how can the overlord be defeated in the chasm? A while ago, didn't there be news that our Great Chu Army was fighting smoothly, and the Qin Army was suppressed in Hexi and could not move? The first time Xiang Zhuang saw Xiang Tuo, he asked eagerly.

"Hey, the old man has no way of knowing the truth of this, he only knows that the overlord was tricked by the Qin thieves to lure the enemy, if he didn't cross the river and attack at night, this war wouldn't be so bad." Xiang Tuo sighed, he was not good at commanding operational matters. Therefore, he can't tell a reason for what happened on the front line.

"Xiangguo, now that all the counties are in the hands of the Qin people, we must speed up the march, and cross the river and return to Jiangdong while the Qin people have not completely blocked the waterway, otherwise, we will not be able to run any of them, so those who are unable to move and can't walk can only abandon here." Xiang Zhuang snorted coldly and said.

"Xiang Zhuang, you, what are you talking about, have you forgotten that you also have the same surname?" Xiang Tuo was angry and pointed at Xiang Zhuang and scolded.

A rapid march all the way.

Those people under Xiang Zhuang's command, all the old and weak, have been abandoned, and on Xiang Tuo's side, on the contrary, among the Xiang clan people who dragged their families and mouths, the old and weak women and children accounted for more than half, if they were left behind, these Xiang descendants would not have to wait for the arrival of the Qin people, they would be killed by the rebels.

"Xiangguo, why don't you understand, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, if we continue like this, the Qin people will catch up, and when the time comes, none of the Xiang family's children will be able to run." Xiang Zhuang said urgently.

Xiang Tuo sighed: "——! Otherwise, Xiang Zhuang, you take a soldier to go first, and I will take the children of the clan to follow, if you really can't get out, it will be providential. ”

As the head of a clan.

Xiang Tuo is no more concerned than Xiang Zhuang, he has too many scruples, among the old and weak, Xiang Tuo's family also accounts for more than half, among these people, there are his children and grandchildren, there are his relatives, how can he give up. (To be continued......)
