Chapter Eighty-Nine: Xianyang (II)
When Liu Bang led the rebel army into Guanzhong, Ziying first sent a general to lead troops to Yaoguan to stop Liu Bang's army, and Liu Bang led the army to bypass Yaoguan, crossed Jiangshan, and defeated the Qin army several times in the Lantian area.
In October of the third year, Liu Bang finally entered Wuguan. After arriving at Ba and settling everything in. He sent people to throw arrows into Xianyang City to persuade Ziying to surrender.
The next day, Liu Bang received the letter of surrender of Prince Qin Ying, Xianyang City all four sides of the city gate opened, on the imperial road of Xianyang, the former solemn national capital, Ziying and his wife tied themselves with ropes, sat in a white carriage driven by a white horse, dressed in the white clothes worn by the deceased's funeral, and brought the emperor's royal items (including jade seals and military talismans), and surrendered to Liu Bang in front of Liu Jiajun, tens of thousands of soldiers and Li people on the road.
The last King of Qin, Ying Ziying only served as the King of Qin for a total of forty-six days, and the Qin Dynasty finally ended its centuries-old rule and officially perished at the moment of Ziying's surrender.
Fan Hao proposed to kill Ziying, but Liu Bang was benevolent and did not execute Ziying, but handed him over to the care of the accompanying officials, and ordered the officials to treat Ying Ziying and the royal family members who surrendered, the in-laws of the dynasty, the generals and the families of the generals.
At this time, Xiang Yu, who was on the plain battlefield and had just won a hard battle, of course did not know that Liu Bang had already achieved Xianyang. His eyes were full of bright red colors, looking at this terrifying battlefield, corpses were everywhere, and the reinforcements of the Qin State had been exhausted. The sergeants of the Xiang family army were looking around to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net on the ground.
Returning to the big tent of the military camp, Xiang Yu was washing the bloody sword on his hand with wine, and suddenly a message came from the soldier Pegasus to report, "King Qi, Liu Bang took his own soldiers and horses to steal Xianyang in the name of welcoming the enemy!" ”
"King Xiang!" Long Yu beside Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang and the others were suddenly in a hurry, and asked Xiang Yu for orders. "Liu Bang stole Xianyang, and the last general asked for an order to attack Liu Bang."
"Does Liu Bang really think that he can compete with me for hegemony?" Xiang Yu ignored the orders of Long Ji, Xiang Zhuang and others, threw away the cotton cloth used to wipe the sword in his hand, put the sword back into the scabbard, and said to himself.
Long And, Xiang Zhuang and the others looked anxious and wanted to ask for orders. At this time, another news soldier Pegasus came to report: "King Qi, King Wu defeated the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin general Wang Li, and the 200,000 troops are marching towards Xianyang." ”
"Two hundred thousand?" Long And, Xiang Zhuang and the others shouted. Now they have less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, although with the soldiers and horses of the other Eight Route Princes, they can gather 400,000 soldiers and horses. But those who can really fight, who can fight hard with the Martial King Army of the High Heavens, are their own soldiers and horses of less than 100,000. Now seeing that the momentum of the high heavens is so strong, how can Long Ji, Xiang Zhuang and the others not worry.
"Good! Hahahaha...... It is worthy of being my fierce rival, and he was able to defeat the 200,000 elite soldiers and horses of Qin General Wang Li so quickly, and he is worthy of being a martial king! Xiang Yu laughed, and immediately turned around and instructed Long He: "You can go and ask the military advisor to meet me in the Xianyang Road." I not only want to recapture Xianyang and avenge this trespassing! I also have to compete with the Martial King to see who is the overlord of the world! ”
The Sixth Army received the order and immediately waved the banner and went straight to Xianyang. Xiang Yu led the ride alone, and his eyes were red on the war horse, full of excitement and killing.
………………
The road was rough, and the mule caravan loaded with baggage passed by, and the sound of wheels rolling in the mud came and went. When Gao Tian came to the outside of Xianyang City, Xiang Yu, who was farther away than Gao Tian's Martial King Army, had already led the Xiang family army day and night, and rushed to the outside of Xianyang City one step in advance.
After Xiang Yu learned of Gao Tian's arrival, he hurriedly invited Gao Tian. After the two got together, they casually politely said a word and left. As for the specific links, Fan Zeng and Chen Ping discussed.
When Gao Tian and Xiang Yu reached an agreement and were ready to attack Liu Bang together, Gao Tian let Yu Ji, who was tired on the road, rest first, and he took Chen Ping and Nangong Yun to wander around. Behind them, Nangong Yuzheng led the Five Hundred Heavenly Guards to protect them at any time not far away.
Among the three sisters of Nangong, except for Nangong Yun, who doesn't know martial arts, Nangong Yu and Nangong Xue know some martial arts. It's not very high, but it can also protect itself, and it will not be easily attacked by wild beasts and rebels.
Otherwise, the three weak women would not have been able to live in the wild on their own.
Gao Tian looked at the 400,000 camps that were connected together, and said with a smile to Chen Ping and Nangong Yun beside him: "Our alliance leader was swept away by his brother and subordinate, and it is really not very comfortable!" ”
"I also underestimated this Liu Bang, but I didn't expect his city to be so deep, it is really not to be underestimated." Chen Ping said with a gloomy face, looking at Xianyang City in the distance.
Chen Ping, who has always thought that he has mastered the hearts of the people, never thought that he would be "shabu" one day and be deceived by Liu Bang, a "loyal and honest" person. This is a great shame for him.
Thinking of his thoughts on Liu Bang during his conversation with Gao Tian along the way, Chen Ping longed for a hole for him to get into.
Nangong Yun glanced at Chen Ping with pity, expressing deep sympathy for his experience. Although her previous impression of Liu Bang was the same as Chen Ping, she also knew that in front of a man, as a woman, it was an unwise choice to say good things about another man. Therefore, along the way, when talking about the heroes of the world, Nangong Yun didn't express much opinion, but occasionally said a few words when Gao Tian asked.
"Haha, let's wait for the Hongmen Feast to start now!" Gao Tian glanced at Xianyang City again, turned around and strode away, and said with a big smile. "I will leave the affairs of the army to you. You do things, I don't worry! ”
Regarding Gao Tian's decentralization, Chen Ping and Nangong Yun were both moved and a little helpless. Nangong Yun couldn't help but ask loudly, "What about you, King Wu?" ”
"Of course I'm with Yu Ji, I haven't seen her for so many days, I want to accompany her for a while and make up for her." Gao Tian's figure gradually disappeared into the eyes of Chen Ping and Nangong Yun, leaving only his heroic voice revealing sweetness.
"Humph!" For some reason, after Nangong Yun heard Gao Tian's words, he couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in his heart, and couldn't help but snort coldly. It wasn't until the voice sounded that Nangong Yun realized it and woke up in time, and her face suddenly turned red.
When she looked at Chen Ping with a weak heart, she saw that Chen Ping was looking at Xianyang City, and she didn't seem to notice her actions, which made Nangong Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that what Nangong Yun didn't notice was that the corners of Chen Ping's mouth looking at Xianyang City were hooking up a trace of arc.
