After Chen Ping defected, Gao Tian suddenly became much more relaxed. After the spread of his courtesy to Chen Ping, more virtuous people began to turn their attention to Gao Tian, the world's first

A prince made the territory under the command of Gao Tian more and more prosperous.

Not long after Gao Tian occupied the position of the first prince in the world, the heroes of other places were not to be outdone.

In February of the following year, Xiang Liang summoned the leaders of the rebel armies in Chu to discuss in Xue County (now Tengzhou, Shandong), and Liu Bang also led his troops to join Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang adopted Fan Zeng's suggestion and supported the front

The king of Chu Huai, Sun Xiongxin, is the king, and he is still called "King Chu Huai", and he is known as the co-lord of the world. And he himself is the leader of the rebel army in the world.

Due to the existence of Gao Tian, the first prince in the world, Xiang Liang also sent a document after becoming the leader of the rebel army in the world, inviting Gao Tian to fight against the tyrannical Qin. And the people who sent the envoys,

It was Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng.

After Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng returned to Chudi, Xiang Liang asked Fan Zeng about Gao Tian's situation, and Fan Zeng said a sentence after a while: "The overlord of the world, only the general and the martial king!" ”

After Gao Tian seized the entire Zhao Kingdom, he was honored as the "Martial King"!

At the end of August, the supreme commander of the Qin army, the general Zhang Han, after attacking and killing the leaders of the anti-Qin forces, Wei Wangjiao and Qi Wang Tian Dan, launched the Battle of Dingtao with Xiang Liang.

On September 3, Xiang Liang and Zhang Han fought in Dongping, and Zhang Han was defeated.

On September 6, Xiang Liang and Zhang Han fought in Juye, and Zhang Han was defeated.

On September 9, Zhang Han retreated to Zhencheng, Xiang Liang chased after him, broke it, and Zhang Han was defeated again.

On September 15, Zhang Han retreated to Dingtao, Xiang Liang chased Zhang Han in ambush, and the 50,000-strong army was almost completely annihilated. Xiang Liang was hit by several arrows, and he was isolated in Fan Zeng, and on September 16

In Dingtao drank hatred and died.

This is the famous Battle of Dingtao!

It can be seen from this battle that it is obvious that Zhang Han saw the landing point of Xiang Liang's arrogance, and deliberately lost three battles in a row, luring Xiang Liang to Dingtao and annihilating him.

Zhang Han broke Xiang Liang's army, and the whole Chu State was very shocked. The news of Xiang Liang's defeat quickly spread like an autumn wind to Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, as well as Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who were attacking Chen Liudi

in the ear. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang saw that the army was unstable and had no intention of fighting. had to retreat east with Lu Chen.

In the palace of King Chu of Xuyi, Xiong Xin got the news that Xiang Liang was killed in battle, he was not angry but happy, and hid in the palace alone and laughed.

He was originally a sheep herding baby, he didn't understand three big characters, and he was only thirteen years old, where did he know anything else? I only felt that I had been played by Xiang Liang all the time, and I hated it in my heart

Xiang's group and so on. For him, the news of Liang's death just felt a bad breath and felt extremely happy.

At this time, Chen Gong, Yu Lao, and Lu Gong asked to see him.

Chen Gong, Yu Lao, and Lu Gong were all old ministers of the Chu State, and they were all loyal to King Chu Huai, not Xiang Liang.

When the three of them saw Xiang Liang die, they were overjoyed and came to see King Chu Huai together.

Chen Gongdao: "King Huai, Xiang Liang is dead, the Xiang family has no owner, it is the time for King Huai to seize power." ”

These words were meant by Xiong Xin, and he was unwilling to be at the mercy of others, so he suddenly asked loudly: "What is Gong Chen's clever plan?" ”

Yu Lao made a clever twist and chuckled: "Xiang Yu'er's prestige is insufficient, so there is no need to be afraid. We have already discussed, and King Huai only needs to give an order, and he will be in power. First, move the capital

Pengcheng. Second, seize the military power of Xiang Yu and Lu Chen. Third, Lu Chen was named Situ, and Lu Chen's father Lu Qing was the Shangzhu State. ”

Xiong Xin didn't seem to understand it, although he didn't understand politics, he was talented and intelligent, and he still had a little gain.

"First, Xuyi is the stronghold of the Xiang family, most of the city belongs to the Xiang family, and if King Huai wants to achieve a great cause, he must first leave Xuyi and move the capital to Pengcheng."

"Second, within our Chu State, forced by Xiang Liang's strong force, everyone is ostensibly subservient to Xiang Liang. But there are also many depressed people under Xiang Liang, Xiang Liangyi

When he died, the Xiang clan would be scattered, and it was the time for the king to grasp the military power, so as to build a powerful army under his own. ”

"Third, Situ and Ling Yin are just two virtual positions and have no real power. The reason why Lu Chen and Lu Qing were sealed was to divide the Xiang clan and isolate Lu Chen from the Xiang clan and further pull it

Gather Lu Chen and Lu Qing for the king's ......"

In October, King Huai of Chu moved his capital to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu); On the grounds that Qin was powerful, he avoided the war in Pengcheng and renamed Pengcheng as the national capital. And Xiang Yu Lu Chenjun is a general, with Lu Chen's father Lu Qing as the top

Zhu Guo, Feng Pei Gong Liu Bang as the Marquis of Wu'an, served as the magistrate of Dang County, and led the Dang County soldiers; Feng Xiangyu is the Marquis of Chang'an, and his name is Lu Gong. At the same time, he also invited back Song Yi and worshiped him as a general.

Then, in April of the third year, King Huai of Chu ordered the remaining army to divide into two routes, one to the north to rescue Wei, and the other to the west to attack Qin. With Song Yi as the general, he was called "Qingzi Champion",

Xiang Yu was the second general, and Fan Zeng was the last general to go north to save Wei. Liu Bang commanded another army, incorporated a large number of Xiang Liang and Chen Shengsan's army, and used this as the basis to go west to attack Qin.

But no matter how well King Chu Huai thinks about it, he is not as fast as others can do it. Soon after the army came out, Song Yi was beheaded by Xiang Yu and seized all the military power. Originally, most of Chudi's army was Xiang

Xiang Liang's, now that Xiang Liang is dead, they are all under Xiang Yu's command, with seventy or eighty thousand men and horses.

King Huai of Chu had no choice but to canonize Xiang Yu as a general, King Xiang, and take over the position of the leader of the rebel army, commanding all the soldiers and horses of Chu. And Liu Bang, at this time

The army also reached tens of thousands, and defeated the Qin army many times, which shocked the world.

At the same time, the army under Gao Tian's command also completed the training and reorganization of the army after more than a year of hard training, and the 100,000 elite army came out of the cage like a tiger, heading towards Qin

The territory of the kingdom is surging away.

Now that the whole world is temporarily fighting against the Violent Qin, Chen Ping suggested that the Violent Qin should be fought first, establish prestige, and then dominate the world. After hearing this, Gao Tian thought it was true, so he led the people under his command

will, rushing towards the territory of the Qin State.

………………

It was the height of summer, but the corner of the barren mountain outside Peng City was lonely and cold like the cold autumn in September

As far as the eye can see, there are weedy graves and strange rocks and rotten trees, and this place is like the place where the lonely ghosts and ghosts of the legend inhabit indiscriminately.

A man with a golden crown, a jade forehead, and autumn-colored arrow sleeves was escorted by a group of people and trudged through this wild grass with difficulty, dressed in brocade clothes and the surrounding environment

It's out of place.

Several warriors armed with long swords and dressed in Chu strong suits found the mottled stone tablet in the overly tall artemisia grass. They used their fingers to quickly remove the miscellaneous items from the stele

The grass and dust came close and carefully identified for a long time, and only then could they vaguely confirm the three words that were already faint and not easy to recognize-Nangong Clan.

"This is it," said one of the guards, turning his head, "back to the king, this is it!" ”

At this time, the crisp sound of copper bells came from the depths of the bushes, and everyone looked up and found that there were three more women nearby. The three women were strangely shaped and dressed in ancient clothes

Strange, but very beautiful. It's just that they are wearing copper bell rune paper, and their momentum is so strange that people dare not approach.
