Xiang Yu rode a tiger and was difficult.

Determined to destroy Qin, he turned his head and found that the Qin State, which had been destroyed by his army, had revived again. The news that the Qin people were able to recover in a short period of time and defeat Long Ji's 50,000 Chu army shocked Xiang Yu's heart, and at the same time had many doubts.

Although Liu Bang, the king of Han, said his letter very tactfully, it seemed to be questioning between the lines: Overlord, since you are the leader of the princes, then please lead the princes of the Seventeenth Route to attack Qin again!

The seventeen princes, who are really in line with Xiang Yu, are almost none.

Long Ji, the only general of the Chu army who was sealed, was also killed by Li Yuan in the Battle of Qishan, and all the 50,000 elites of the Chu army were killed, which made Xiang Yu's idea of holding the princes hostage in the east and west frustrated.

Xiang Yu, who was born for war, is hurting his mind for war.

In the seemingly beautiful situation of the Chu State, it is actually full of crises.

The Chu army's logistical support system was in difficulty, and the alignment operation consumed a large amount of baggage accumulated by the Chu army, a large part of which was obtained from looting Guanzhong.

At the same time, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng did not estimate the resistance strength of Tian Rong and Tian Hengshili, because they were fighting in Qi throughout the winter and spring, the supply of grain and straw of the Chu army went from abundant to tight, and then could only rely on the capture of Qi land, which made the strength of the Chu army not only not improved all day long, but was sleepy and lacking.

Pengcheng.

Fan Zeng's residence.

The nest man who was called the second father by Xiang Yu had already gotten up early, and the child who was being served tremblingly helped Fan Zeng comb his hair, and then respectfully took the court clothes, and the moody old man in front of him made him feel frightened and afraid, but without Fan Zeng's support, these children who had not yet reached adulthood would have only one way to starve to death.

The successive wars have already made the once rich eastern part of the Chu State a barren and uninhabited place, and in the hometown of the Chu State today, only the south of the Yangtze River can still maintain a little fire of recovery.

"Take a good look at the house. Don't let the outcasts in. Fan Zeng snorted coldly at the steward at the door. Board the carriage and prepare to go to the city, and discuss with Xiang Tuo, who is in charge of the supply of grain, about the various baggage required by the Chu army.

Xiang Tuo, the elder of the overlord Xiang Yu.

Xiang Tuo, who served as the Shangzhu State of Chu, was the current patriarch of the Xiang family, and his existence made Fan Zeng repeatedly feel that his power was constrained, and the title of Yafu was good in Xiang Yu, but it basically did not work in Xiang Tuo.

Pillar State Mansion.

Getting closer. Compared with Fan Zeng's simple rooms, I don't know how much more the mansion is more than it, which makes Fan Zeng's depressed mood even more unhappy.

Today, a few war horses had stopped at the gate of Zhuguo Mansion early in the morning, and Fan Zeng lifted the curtain to look at it, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at it. One of them was a tall sturdy horse in a fiery red color. is striking with a snort, and its owner is Zhong Liwu, the current number one general of the Chu army.

Long Ji's death made Zhong Liwu postpone his ascension.

Now, in addition to Xiang Yu's position in the Chu army, the steady and calm Zhong Liwu is gradually supported by more and more generals of the Chu army. Xiang Zhuang had little influence on the main force of the Chu army.

"Hmph. Coachman, head south. Go to the palace. Fan Zeng let out a low sigh, and an unnatural flush appeared on his old cheeks.

"Envoy, the Zhuguo Mansion is in front, just go south." The coachman is also surnamed Fan, and he is a fellow villager of Juchao, but he is an upright man, and he is good at driving Jishu, but he is not as good as in observing words and feelings.

"Why, I don't listen to my words, if you want to go to the Zhuguo Mansion, say it." Fan Zeng stared at the coachman resentfully, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

After this lesson, he secretly swore in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would never speak again, never intervene again, just ask to catch up with the car honestly, and have a job to support his family.

Fan Zeng sulked in the car, and the union between Xiang Tuo and Zhong Lifu made him feel the crisis, the crisis of possibly losing Xiang Yu's trust.

In fact, due to the fact that Fan Zeng's proposal failed to achieve results in the two matters of the sub-feudal system and the felling of Qi, the wisdom of this elder in the nest has begun to be questioned by some people in the Chu State, and the existence of this voice is slowly changing Xiang Yu's attitude towards Fan Zeng.

Father, this is an enviable and hateful title at the same time. The envious people saw the glory of Fan Zeng being high, under one person, and above ten thousand; The hateful person was annoying Fan Zeng with an old man, occupying all of Xiang Yu's trust, so that others had no way to get into Xiang Yu's eyes.

There are many such people, Fan Zeng knows.

Some hated people couldn't bear to be snubbed and left, such as Han Xin, the captain in the Qin army who had recently been in the limelight. Some remained in the Chu army, and they were like poisonous snakes, staring at Fan Zeng's every move, hoping that he would make a mistake, such as Zhong Liwu, who had a good relationship with Han Xin.

Non-toxic not husband.

Since Zhong Liwu is plotting first, don't blame him Fan Zeng for making the first move.

The moment Fan Zeng walked into Xiang Yu's palace, he finally made up his mind.

Zhong Liwu would never have thought that he would inexplicably become a thorn in Fan Zeng's side. He just went to Xiang Tuo's mansion in the Zhu State to ask when the grain distributed by the army would arrive, and the rewards that the soldiers should receive had been delayed for several months.

――。

Luoyang.

One day in May.

It is no different from the past, Henan Wang Shenyang is lying lazily under the shade of the palace, and the two little ladies on the side are fanning hard, trying to use manpower to lower the hot temperature.

Although it was only early summer, it was already miserable for a meaty fat man. After spending most of the easy days in peace, Shen Yang suddenly found that his good days were coming to an end. Originally, he was just a favored minister of Zhang Er, but because of his dedication to receiving Xiang Yu, he unexpectedly obtained this large area south of the Great River, compared to other anti-Qin heroes who worked desperately with the Qin army, Shen Yang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed while stealing joy.

Since becoming the prince and king, Shen Yang has stubbornly believed that he is a disciple sent by God, a person with good luck, and a person who will be rich and rich.

Henan.

It is the land of four wars.

To the north of the river, is the territory of the Zhao State, the Zhao people, like the Qin people, have a natural interest in fighting, the smoke of the giant deer has just dissipated, the Zhao land of Changshan King Zhang Er, the acting king Zhao Xie and the powerful figure Chen Yu have already fought inextricably, the weak Shen Yang has no choice, so he had to order the soldiers to gather all the ships on the south bank, in order to consolidate themselves.

In the south, it is the location of Nanyang County in South Korea, connecting Hanzhong, Linjiang, Lingnan, and Yingchuan, and now belongs to the territory of Han Wangcheng, where many anti-Qin Shili intersect, and don't say that the other princes are Liu Bang, the king of Han in Hanzhong, and Shenyang can't afford to provoke them.

As for the east and west sides, not to mention, the west side was still a dragon and was guarding the town, and Shen Yang could sit back and relax, but unfortunately the dragon was quickly defeated, so Shen Yang had to directly face the Qin army's troops; The east is very calm, but it is the Chu region of the overlord Xiang Yu, with Xiang Yu's domineering, if Shen Yang has any careful thoughts, he can just send a team of people to destroy Shen Yang without Xiang Yu's action.

In February and March, there were many wars in the Guanzhong area, and Long Ji, Liu Bang and the remnants of the Qin army fought repeatedly, so that Shenyang unexpectedly accepted a lot of refugees and refugees.

Just when Shen Yang was in a good mood and sometimes bad, Luo Yang ordered Zhang Zhonggong to rush into the mansion, still holding a letter sealed with red sand.

"King, Peng Cheng is urgent!" Zhang Zhonggong said breathlessly.

"Take it apart, Niannian!" Shen Yang twisted the fat on his neck with great effort, opened his eyes a slit, and said to Zhang Zhong. This Zhang Zhonggong was also a native of Chudi, and after the war, he fled all the way from the east to Luoyang, and after Shenyang occupied Luoyang City, Zhang Zhonggong took refuge in Shenyang, which almost no one could afford at that time.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Overlord." Zhang Zhonggong smiled and replied.

"Let you read it, what's wrong with the overlord's letter, others can't believe you, I can trust the king." Shen Yang shouted arrogantly. Zhang Zhonggong has a king, which makes his heart bloom, and others are a little reluctant to call him a king, but Zhang Zhonggong is sincere and pious.

Zhang Zhonggong opened the silk letter according to his words, and there were only a few lines in it, the content was that the Chu army was about to attack Qin, and asked Shenyang to be responsible for the supply of grain and straw needed by the 70,000 army. At the same time, the letter also mentioned that Major General Xiang Zhuang had already led 3,000 elite cavalry to set off first, and it was estimated that they would arrive in Luoyang in three days.

Shen Yang didn't wait to listen, his fat body trembled, cold sweat broke out on his face, he didn't expect the good days to come to an end so soon, Xiang Yu's imminent arrival, so that Shen Yang was like a loose wild dog being enclosed in a cage, freedom was lost, and the little happiness of the chicken head no longer existed, replaced by a burst of panic.

"Zhonggong, the Chu army is coming, the overlord is coming, what should we do, where do we get the grain to supply these masters?" Shen Yang cried with a sad face, and tears fell in front of Zhang Zhonggong.

Xiang Yu is kind to him.

However, Xiang Yu is also a merciless person, and Shen Yang will not be naïve to think that just a little credit for serving that day can allow him to escape the guilt of delaying the military plane.

Henan, a thin piece of land, where can it afford 70,000 soldiers, Shen Yang's men, full of soldiers, only 5,000 soldiers, among these soldiers, there are many farmers who are half peasants and half soldiers. (To be continued.) )
