At the beginning of Chen She's uprising, the world was in turmoil, Di County had Tian Dan, so the Qi Wangtian clan was also, Dan Cong brother Tian Rong, Rong brother Tian Heng, all Hao, Zong Yi, can win people.

The Tian clan opposed Qin and became self-reliant, and Dan became the king of Qi. Tian Dan was killed by the Qin general Zhang Han, and his younger brother Tian Rong became king.

Xiang Yu was killed, Rong was killed, Tian Heng was the king of Rong Zi Tian Guang, and he was the prime minister. Hou Tian Guang was cowardly and afraid of Chu, and did not dare to fight, Tian Heng was extremely angry and killed him, set himself up as the king, and then defeated the Chu army, and collected all seventy-two cities.

When the king of Han was defeated, he threw himself into Qi, Tian Heng was happy, and he was treated very well, especially his brother.

In March of the first year of King Qin, Xiang Yu crossed the river to attack Zhao, but Zhao was defeated and defeated several times. Tian Heng was afraid that Zhao would die in Chu, so he sent troops to rescue Zhao and became his own vanguard. Chu tasted the attack on Qi, surrounded the Qi army in Gaotang, Tian Heng held on for ten days, and the Han general Cao Shen supported the troops from afar and refused to send troops.

When the food was exhausted, Qi Qi was not allowed to eat for six days, and all the yin killed each other, and the city was disturbed. Tian Heng then opened the city gate and came to attack Chu Lei, wanting to come out. For four teams, four or five are repeated, and they can't come out. Tian Heng fought by himself, the Chu army shot Tian Heng, and was killed on the spot, the Qi army was in chaos, and they all surrendered to the king of Chu. There are 800 people who do not descend, and Nian Tian Heng treats them very well, and they all commit suicide.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he was shocked, and said to his guest: Huh, there is a husband! From the cloth clothes, the three brothers are more kings, isn't it virtuous! For it, 2,000 people died, and Tian Heng was buried with the king's ceremony.

……

Tian Heng's death was undoubtedly a major earthquake for Qi Guo. Since the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Qi Ditian clan has risen one after another, with a total of seven kings, and they have been attacking each other, which is very different from the other five kingdoms of the clan uniting together to restore the country.

The final winner of the throne of Qi was Tian Rong and Tian Heng, two brothers, Tian Rong did not hesitate to kill the men of other branches of the Tian family in order to prevent future troubles, so that the famous Tian family surname at that time ended up with only their bloodline. Tian Rong's only son was killed by Tian Heng, and Tian Heng himself is now dead, leaving only three young sons, and the succession to the throne of Qi suddenly became a problem.

Since Liu Bang's westward advance, he has been fighting steadily all the way, and although he has won several battles with the Chu army, the speed of his march is unusually slow. After hearing the news of Tian Rongbing's defeat and death on the road, Liu Bang suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted; My brother is retired. He then fainted and fell unconscious. Left and right hurriedly helped up, and after a flurry of healing, he slowly woke up. When I woke up, I just cried bitterly and refused to say a word.

Tian Heng was very kind to the soldiers of Qi State, and the sergeants of the army were grateful for his kindness, and they all felt sad when they heard that he was killed. Seeing that the king of Han was grieving so much, he was all moved by it. Seeing that the King of Han was too sad and refused to eat and sleep, all the generals of Qi hugged each other and went to see Liu Bang, and they all knelt down and asked the King of Han to take care of his body and lead everyone to avenge the King of Qi.

Liu Bang barely ate under the persuasion of everyone, and then ordered the whole army to wear white clothes and white armor, and wear filial piety for Tian Heng, and the army quickly drove to Hebei to make peace with Cao Shenbu, and joined the army of 130,000. was preparing to cross the river and fight to the death with Xiang Yu, but suddenly from Linzi Zhou Bo boldly attacked the Chu army, and was ambushed by Zhong Liwei and defeated. Zhongliwei pulled out the camp and went north, all the way like a bamboo, connecting more than ten cities, and already threatened the safety of Linzi from the south.

The available troops of Qi have been transferred to Hebei, and at this moment the interior is extremely empty, and there are only 5,000 old and weak people in Linzi, if it is attacked by the Chu army to the city, the consequences can be imagined.

Hearing that the Chu army had invaded the Qi State, the generals who were originally clamoring that they would go north to avenge the King of Qi suddenly quieted down. The fathers and relatives of the soldiers of the Qi army were all in Qidi, and Xiang Yu had burned and plundered when he captured Qidi, which made all the Qi people hate the Chu people to the core, and they were also worried about the safety of their relatives at home.

Liu Bang saw that the army's heart was distracted, and the soldiers were all willing to return, so he had to temporarily withdraw and return to Linzi under the persuasion of Cao Shen and others.

Zhong Liwei was limited by his troops, and he had always taken a defensive posture towards Qi Guo, and he felt a little unbelievable that he could easily attack the belly of Qi State this time. While he cautiously moved forward to attract the main force of the Qi army to come back to make Xiang Yu's pressure less, he sent scouts to investigate everywhere to prevent the Qi army from being ambushed.

After hearing that Liu Bang had returned to help, the Chu army immediately stopped moving north, which was the frontal Fan Xu Zhou Bobu also stopped retreating, but approached step by step, tightly entangled the retreating Chu army. On the way, Liu Bang's army in the south caught up, a scuffle, countless casualties, Zhong Liwei was forced to abandon Xue County, retreated into Chu, Liu Bang took advantage of the situation to recover all Qidi, and the class returned to Linzi.

Tian Heng's death made the entire Qi State court chaotic, and Xiao He, who was in charge of the court, was still unqualified, and he couldn't suppress everyone's noise at all, so he could barely maintain the normal operation of the Qi State. After hearing the news that Liu Bang had returned to Linzi, Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Heng has three sons, but the eldest son is not yet twelve years old, and the youngest son is still babbling in infancy. If it is in the Taiping era, it is not a big deal for the young monarch to arrive, as long as the court is conscientious, it can also smoothly transition to the monarch's crown ceremony.

But the problem is now in the troubled times, although the Tian family has been the master of the Qi country for two hundred years, but Tian Heng is only a side of the clan, and he relied on conquest to ascend to the throne of the king of Qi, and the foundation is not stable. And the most important thing is that what the current Qi State needs is a strong monarch to lead the Qi people against the aggressive Chu State, not a young monarch who will only obey his orders.

Tian Heng issued an order before his death, that is, "all orders of the king of Han are equivalent to the meaning of widows", and some people in the court proposed that the king of Han take over the throne of the king of Qi on this basis and resist the Chu army. This proposal was supported by a large number of courtiers, on the one hand, they hoped that the Qi State could have a strong monarch, on the other hand, Liu Bang's reputation was indeed good, he should be a virtuous lord, and it would definitely be better to follow him than to follow Tian Heng.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by the old ministers of Qi, who insisted that the eldest son of Litian Heng be the king of Qi, and that Zuo Xiang should act as the superintendent of the country, and that he would govern the king of Qi when he came of age. Although there are few people in this faction, they are all Tian Heng's confidants and cronies, who control the military power in various places, and have huge power in the army, and their energy cannot be underestimated.

The two factions argued in court, and even fought violently, and finally reached a mutually satisfactory condition under the mediation of several respected ministers. Tian He, the eldest son of Litian Heng, was the king of Qi, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, temporarily acted as the governor of Qi, and then handed over the government to him when the king of Qi became an adult.

Liu Bang, who was still on the way back to Linzi, was overjoyed when he got the news. He has coveted the anointed land of Qi for a long time, so he has been planning to make arrangements everywhere, and today he can finally fulfill his wish, how can he not be happy. Although there are still some small regrets, he is only the real king of Qi in prison, but it makes no difference to him.

There are still more than six years to wait for Tian and adulthood. Six years is enough to change a lot of things, enough to make the entire Qi country become his Liu Bang's private product, and more importantly, he can use the land of Qi as the capital to dominate the world, compete with Xiang Yu in the Central Plains, and win the world.

After Liu Bang entered Linzi, he still pretended to shirk and refused to act as the national government of Qi. It wasn't until the Qi people's father and elder persuaded each other that he reluctantly accepted the position and vowed to avenge Tian Heng.

Xiang Yu, who was far away in Hebei, heard that Liu Bang had picked up a big bargain out of thin air and actually occupied Qi land, and he was immediately furious. If there is no one he hates and looks down on the most in this world, it is undoubtedly Liu Bang, an old scoundrel. Liu Bang had teased Xiang Yu several times, and Xiang Yu had already hated him to the core, and he couldn't wait to crush him to ashes.

After hearing that Liu Bang was in charge of Qidi, Xiang Yu ignored the opposition of Ji Bu and others, forcibly withdrew the army, and re-led the troops to storm Qidi, wanting to kill Liu Bang while he was fledgling. Liu Bang led his troops north and confronted the Chu army in Boyang, Jibei, and handed over the rear to Xiao He, who was solely responsible for letting him use his extraordinary skills to continuously export Qi's money, food and soldiers to the front.

The Zhao army in the north took the opportunity to counterattack, and united with the Wei army to defeat the weak Yuzi period one after another, and recovered most of the Zhao land. The Chu army's one-and-a-half-month battle was in vain.

Just when Qi Di was deadlocked, no one thought that it was the land of Chu Nan that was far away to the south that first brought trouble to Xiang Yu.

……

Lujiang County is located in the south of the river, the territory is extremely vast, from the west of Pengli Lake to the east of Chaohu Lake, the area of thousands of miles is governed by Lujiang.

Although Lujiang County has a vast area, it is not densely populated, and most of them are mountainous and forested. The south of the river has not been the main place of population gathering in the pre-Qin era, and Lujiang County is naturally no exception, often hundreds of miles of wilderness are not inhabited, and most of the rule of the Chu State here is limited to symbolic meaning, and many remote places do not even know the news that the Chu State has been recovered.

After the death of the Chu State at the hands of the Qin State, the remnants of the Chu army still resisted stubbornly in the mountains and forests, and a large number of princes and nobles protected the royal family and fled into the mountains and forests to avoid the pursuit of the Qin army, and Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, was one of them.

After the death of Chu, the children of the Shi clan were generally divided into two factions, one was the southern Chu forces dominated by the five clans such as Lu and Dou, who mainly lived in Lujiang County and supported the descendants of the king of Chu, and used this as a base to secretly contact anti-Qin warriors from various countries. The other faction is naturally the Jiangdong Hao clan led by the late general Xiang Yan, who took root in Jiangdong and survived, and successfully infiltrated all corners of the Qin administration.

Although there was a brief peace, Xiang Liang and the Chu Nanshi clan reached an agreement, that is, to support Xiong Xin as the king and jointly plot the great cause of restoring the country. Xiang Liang Laocheng is serious, and he still has some respect for the King of Chu in his heart, but he is also safe. But this feather is different, he is extremely domineering, and he will not show you any mercy for everything that is not pleasing to the eye, so he will greatly offend these families.

When Xiang Yu divided the princes of the world, he drove Xiongxin, the king of Chu, to Changsha County to retire, and he was known as the overlord of Western Chu. In this way, he completely broke with the scholars. Who would have thought that Xiang Yu would intensify his efforts, so that the common scuttling of the ship, and the drowning of Xiong Xin on the river, the various Chu clans were completely disappointed in Xiang Yu, and they were worried that Xiang Yu's power was too powerful and reckless resistance would lead to the disaster of extermination, so they had to express their indignation in the form of retreat.

Han Xin and Peng Yue deliberately picked this place based on this. Not only is it surrounded by mountains but also sparsely populated, and the corresponding Chu State is much weaker here.

Since Peng Yue infiltrated the land of Chu, he has been disappearing, not daring to alarm the Chu army, for fear of attracting the attention of the Chu State. It wasn't until he arrived in Lujiang County that he began to make a big splash and occupied a hill as a base.

Thieves are rampant on the south bank of the river, often gathering righteous mountains and forests to roar away, and the government has nothing to do with them, so they let it go over time, as long as the trouble is not too bad, they don't care. What Peng Yue brought was 5,000 elite soldiers from the regular army of Qin, and how could these rabble be compared. In just two months, Peng Yue swept away dozens of large and small thieves and mountain kings in the south of the river.

Peng Yue took all the useful of these people for his own use, and the army quickly swelled to as many as 30,000, and according to the military system, he reorganized these rabble into a usable army. The team gradually expanded, and Peng Yue was no longer satisfied with a small fight in the mountains and forests, but went down the mountain to attack the county seat, defeated the Chu army that came to the rescue, and took several cities in one go, occupying the place based on it.

Seeing that the thief army was strong, the guards of Lujiang County sent people to Pengcheng to report the emergency while defending it tightly.

It's just that Xiang Yu is busy fighting the Central Plains with the anti-Chu coalition army at this time, where can he have the leisure to take care of such a trivial matter. In his eyes, the chaos in the south is nothing more than a mustard disease, and the north is the big thing that determines life and death.

Peng Yue was able to develop rapidly by relying on Xiang Yu's contempt, he occupied several counties in the south of the Great River, and his influence spanned the Great River. However, Peng Yue is also a reasonable person, and he is only a little higher in taxes, so he will not force such a merchant into a desperate situation. And as long as the other party does not resist, it will never hurt the lives of others for no reason.

Of course, Peng Yue did not withhold taxes from everyone, such as the caravan of the Chudi family, and he opened the door all the way without difficulty. Peng Yue's frequent overtures also attracted the attention of the Chunan family.

……

Panlong Mountain was originally just a small mountain, but because the patriarch of the Dou clan in Shiji City under the mountain fell in love with the beautiful mountains and rivers here, he built a mountain villa in the mountain, called Panlong Village, so this mountain is also called Panlong Mountain.

Dou Qing saw his father fishing by the river from a distance, so he ran over excitedly shouting, "Dad." ”

The bucket fishing rod trembled slightly, and it was too late to lift it up, and he suddenly glared at him angrily and reprimanded; "What are you doing in such a panic, scaring my fish away."

Dou Qing grinned, and his immature face was full of flattering smiles.

Although Doujie was scolding him, there was a strong fatherly love in his eyes that could not be concealed, which was normal, who didn't want to enjoy the joy of family.

"How are things going on this trip to Huiji County?"

"It didn't go well." Dou Qing shook his head, "On the way, we met bandits, all the goods were intercepted, and we were also caught by them in the village, saying that we would wait for the family to get the ransom." ”

Dou Step's body was for a while, and he hurriedly grabbed Dou Qing and asked; "Then you're alright."

Dou Qing grinned and said; "Of course I'm fine, you see I'm not standing in front of you intact."

Dou Jie breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and listened to Dou Qing point to a person behind him; "This is thanks to this Mr. Zheng, who heard that our Doujia's caravan was robbed, and specially came to pressure the bandits, so we were able to come back intact, and even the goods were not lost."

Dou Jie's gaze swept over the person behind Dou Qing, at first he saw that the person was dressed ordinarily, and thought it was Dou Qing's bodyguard or something, but he never paid attention to it. When he handed his gaze to him, he was a little surprised to find that although the person looked ordinary, the look between his eyebrows was extraordinary, and his gaze swept to it, like lightning, which made people dare not look directly.

Dou Tie couldn't help but be stunned, he read countless people at once, but there are really not many people with such a demeanor, and they are such ordinary-looking people. Out of courtesy, Dou Tie still bowed politely; "More strong men for saving their lives, the old man and the child will definitely thank you heavily."

Mr. Zheng opened his mouth and smiled, and said; "Why should Dou Gong be polite, I have admired you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to meet, and it is not in vain to be able to see the style today."

Dou Jie smiled slightly, but his face was flat, he was already used to other people's flattery to him, so he didn't care.

Then Mr. Zheng stepped forward and said; "Can Dou Gong take a step to speak, I still have one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Seeing this, Dou Qing waved his hand and found an excuse to retreat. Dou Jie smiled and watched his son's figure walk away, then turned around and said coldly; "Tell me, what do you want to do when you deliberately arrest my son first and then sell him a favor?"

Mr. Zheng smiled and said; "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, in fact, my surname is Zheng, my surname is Peng, and my name is Peng Yue."

"Peng Yue." Dou Jie read slowly in his mouth, and suddenly applied for a violent shock, revealing a shocked look, "You are the Peng Yue, who followed the King of Han?" ”

Peng Yue smiled and nodded, "It's down, but that's before, and now I'm free." ”

"So what do you want? I think you've made a lot of gestures of goodwill, just to find what you need from us, and I'll hear it. ”

"It's simple." Peng Yue's face was tense, and he said in a low voice; "I want to cooperate with you and fight against Xiang Yu together, how about it?"

Peng Yue stared at Dou Jie, but regretted to see that he didn't have much reaction, Dou Jian just said lightly; "You're looking for the wrong person, my Dou family has long stopped asking about the world, and I just want to be a peacemaker."

Peng Yue didn't expect him to refuse so directly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and was stunned for a long time before he said again; "But Xiang Yu killed the King of Chu and drove you out of the court, aren't you very him?"

"What about hatred." Dou Tie closed his eyes tightly and said slowly; "When you reach our age, you will know how precious an ordinary life is, and I don't want my children and grandchildren to be involved in endless power struggles."

PS: I'm very sleepy today, I've been very out of state, and I've written it intermittently, it's not bad, I'm sorry.
