Chapter 368: Returning Home

The state of Chu was destroyed.

This anti-Qin princely power built by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew had to withdraw from the stage of history after losing the hearts of the people in Chu.

Unlike the first unification by force of the First Emperor, this time the Qin State not only completed the unification in form, but also won the hearts and minds of the people in the Kwantung region.

The matter of chasing Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Tuo's remnants no longer has to worry about Li Yuan personally, Xiang Zhuang has not been annihilated, which is indeed a hidden danger, but these things, there are generals like Zhou Yin and Ding Gong who automatically ask for help, keep Xiang Zhuang, Zhou Yin, Ding Gong and others are actually more worried than Li Yuan.

Xiang Zhuang's temper is very similar to Xiang Yu to a large extent, they are all vicious and hateful temperaments, especially people who are not used to being two-faced and wavering, unfortunately Zhou Yin and Ding Gong are such people.

September.

Yu Ji issued an edict in the name of Lady Xiang Yu and Princess Chu of Chu, imploring the people of Chu to lay down their arms and stop making senseless resistance. At the same time, after the surrender of the old generals of the Chu State, such as Yu Ziqi, Ji Bu, and Zhong Liwu, they also continued to lobby the old Chu generals of the counties and counties to surrender, which allowed the Qin army to successfully occupy the counties of the Chu State except Jiangdong in a short period of time.

Xiang Zhuang was lucky to escape the pursuit of the Qin army, but Xiang Tuo was not so lucky, he couldn't bear to abandon his family and clansmen, he was caught up by the general Ding Gong on the bank of the river, and the whole Zuihou clan was wiped out.

Other generals may be merciful to Xiang Tuo, but Ding Gong is not, this Chu general, who has been depressed for many years, vented all his unhappiness on the slaughter.

"Xiang Tuo, you also have today, haha-!" When a sword pierced Xiang Tuo's heart, Ding Gong laughed and shouted.

"Ding Gong, you traitor, you can't die a good death!" Xiang Tuo's vicious incantation when he was dying. Completely angered Ding Gong, he had not planned to kill the women, children, old and weak of the Xiang family, but at this moment he lost all his mind, he only had one thought, that is, if you curse me to death, then Lao Tzu will kill your entire Xiang clan first.

Xiang Tuo died helplessly.

This minister of Chu State, the head of the Xiang clan, has experienced the most glorious period of his life, and has the power above ten thousand people under one person. But in the face of the choice of interests of the family and the country, he failed to distinguish the priority, and his stubbornness and narrow-mindedness finally led the Chu State to decline.

After quickly pacifying Jiangbei, Li Yuan gave an order, with Jiang Yu, Ding Gong, Zhou Yin and other troops as pioneers, crossed the river to pursue the remnants of the fleeing Xiang Zhuang, Jiangdong is the base camp of the Xiang clan, if you don't take here. Xiang Chu's remnants, under Xiang Zhuang's instigation, are very likely to make trouble again.

Jiang Yu was a serious person, and among the generals of the Qin army, he never took the initiative to take care of things. It's not obvious, but it's the most trustworthy one when it's critical.

Otherwise, Li Yuan would not insist on entrusting him with the important task of guarding Sanchuan County and preventing the westward advance of the Chu army, knowing that during the two years that Jiang Yu was stationed in the Sanchuan area. It's not that Xiang Yu doesn't want to attack Qin, but he can't find a suitable opportunity, in other words. Jiang Yu's strategy of not moving if the enemy moves me makes Xiang Yukong have no spare strength and no way to speak.

Ding Gong and Zhou Yinju are the generals of the Chu State, and these two people are not as good as Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu in terms of loyalty, but it is precisely because of their vacillation that Li Yuan has strengthened his confidence in using them to pursue Xiang Zhuang.

Traitor.

The last thing I want to hear is the threatening voice of the former employer, Ding Gong has raised the butcher knife to kill Xiang Tuo, his hands are stained with Xiang's blood, at this time, no one should want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots more than Ding Gong. As for Zhou Yin, the former Great Sima of the Chu State, who performed inferiorly in the Battle of the Chasm, is the Jiangdong clan, and he can say that he is in charge of the situation in the Jiangdong area.

After arranging the candidates to pursue Xiang Chu Yu's rebellion, Li Yuan did not stop in Pengcheng for long, and his chariot accompanied Han Xinjun all the way around Pengcheng after a detour around Pengcheng, and then arrived at the mouth of the big river on the coast of the East China Sea.

Li Yuan's trip north this time was mainly to appease Han Xin and settle those young men of Qi who had been encouraged to join the Qin army, and if these young men and women who had nowhere to vent their energy were not properly handled, they would bring a lot of trouble to Qin's governance in Qidi.

After Han Xin occupied the northern border of Chu State, he hinted to Li Yuan many times, intentionally or unintentionally, that he hoped to resign from Yandi and return to his hometown Chu as an official.

Fame and fortune will be taken immediately.

Returning to his hometown to show his reputation.

Han Xin wanted to return to his hometown of Huaiyin and show his current difference to those who looked down on him, and this strange mind made Li Yuan see through it.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan personally accompanied Han Xin back to Huaiyin, and took the lady who gave Han Xin food to the official office, Han Xin saw the white-haired benefactor, and he couldn't help crying for a while, and the rogue teenagers who bullied him in the past fell to their knees and begged for forgiveness.

Run away!

It's impossible.

Even the overlord Xiang Yu was defeated by Li Yuan, Han Xin and others, and it was impossible for these insignificant little people to escape, so the best choice was to ask Han Xin for forgiveness.

"General Han, forget it, if it weren't for them, why would you be where you are today?" Li Yuan glanced at the ragged men kneeling in front of Han Xin and persuaded.

"You guys, get up, under my Han Xin's sword, don't kill the scoundrels!" Han Xin stared at the trembling guys in front of him hatefully for a long time, and finally put down his sword hatefully.

Li Yuan was right, if it weren't for the insults of these scoundrels, he would not have run away angrily to join Xiang Liang's uprising team, you must know that it was a shameful thing.

After relieving the grievances in his heart for many years, Han Xin no longer has any worries and reluctance, just as Li Yuan enlightened, the future Qin State is not restless, the enemy Huns from the grassland have opened their fangs, at this time, the Qin army urgently needs an experienced, courageous and resourceful general to guard Yanbei, and Han Xin is the best candidate.

The army passed by Qidi.

Some of those who were encouraged were left behind, either because they were too old or because they were eliminated in the competition, while more people followed the Qin army towards the bitterly cold Yanbei, where they would experience the most severe survival test in their lives.

As long as they can survive this winter, they will be qualified soldiers of the Qin State, and one day, they will become border guards with weapons and armor like these predecessors who have fought on the battlefield for many years. (To be continued......)
