In the next few days, Xiang Yu led the Western Chu army to strengthen the offensive against Jimo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of Xiang Shang's head that was hung on the gate, many Chu army officers obviously had much more "spirit" when fighting.

Of course, with this alone, it is impossible to defeat Jimo.

Because the defensive strength of the city of Jimo is actually no less than that of Linzi, the largest city in Qidi.

In the fierce battles of the past few days, the more fierce the Chu army's offensive against Jimo, the heavier the casualties paid, especially after personally leading 15,000 people to reinforce at that time, Jimo's defensive strength was significantly strengthened.

Although in terms of the consumption of defensive equipment and corresponding materials, the replenishment rate of more than 20,000 defenders in Jimo is quite slow, but relying on the remaining defensive materials, it is not too much of a problem for Jimo to hold on for three or five days.

Moreover, after the arrival of the intermittent army, the Jimo defenders were quickly given a combat order by the intermediary, that is, the defenders of Jimo did not need to defeat the Chu army, but delayed the footsteps of the Chu army in this area or made the other party retreat.

And the pair of Zi Anxun and others privately told a piece of information, that is, Su Jiao, located in Liaoning County, also started an operation, and his goal was to assist Du Cong, who was located in the northeastern region of Qi State, as much as possible, to encircle and annihilate Tian Heng's department.

After Zi Anxun and the others got this information, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, if Su Jiao, Du Cong and others could launch an encirclement and annihilation of Tian Heng's main force of the Eastern Qi Army, then they would also form a relatively advantageous battlefield situation against the Chu army after a period of time.

There should be no doubt that the State of Chu would send reinforcements to reinforce Xiang Yu at such a time.

However, once the troops of the Great Qin Shang County in the Jimo region and the troops of the Great Qin Liaoning County that had gone south to reinforce after defeating Tian Heng merged, then the Chu State would not be able to dominate the battlefield situation even if it sent about 50,000 reinforcements.

Therefore, after saying a sentence in the middle, Zi Anxun and others hurriedly promised: "Lord County Guard, Jimo is here, we are here, Jimo is lost, we are dead, the city is in the people, the city is dead!"

And this sentence is: "In view of the scarcity of officials such as county guards in the interior, the king hopes to promote a group of talented people to serve as county guards or county lieutenants in these areas, and although you are not from our Great Qin Empire, there is no doubt that you are now also a member of our Great Qin Empire, then, if you perform well in the Jimo defensive battle, this county guard will naturally speak well in front of the king." ”

Everyone will have the wish of high-ranking officials, quoting the world where Zhang Jiashi lives, a great military strategist in the West, that is: A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier.

......

In contrast to the fact that Jimo City received a large number of Qin officers and soldiers to reinforce it, the losses of the Chu army in the past few days have exceeded one-third of the troops brought by Xiang Yu this time, and such heavy casualties have a very huge impact on the fighting will and morale of this Chu army.

Due to some considerations, Xiang Yu did not immediately send reinforcements to Pengcheng, but took a few days to reorganize the troops.

But this approach, even Xiang Zhuang and others know one thing very well, that is, it has no effect.

After all, many officers and soldiers of the Chu army had long lost confidence in the capture of Jimo. In fact, these Chu officers and soldiers cannot be complained about in this situation. Instead, a bitter fruit planted by Xiang Yu began to blossom and bear fruit.

Because although Western Chu in many ways, especially after Xiang Yu put down the rebellions of many powerful families, to a certain extent, he improved the political situation of Chu dominated by powerful families.

However, this improvement soon disappeared because these powerful families of Xiang Yu occupied the actual control of the exterminated family.

It can even be said that compared with before, these restorations are even the heroes of the families who stand on the right team, and they have intensified the oppression of the people of Chu State.

Especially the three families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao, many times they are rampant and lawless, even Xiang Bo can't see it, but for many considerations, Xiang Bo can only turn a blind eye to these atrocities.

This was also because Xiang Yu didn't understand the situation, or didn't take it seriously at all, which caused the Chu State to quickly lose the support of the local people.

Although these Chu officers and soldiers are serving Xiang Yu, how many people are willing to serve Xiang Yu to the death, I am afraid they will not say this themselves.

(This should have been true in history, as evidenced by Liu Bang's pacification of the Jiangdong region soon after Xiang Yu's suicide in Wujiang.) It can be seen from this that the military and civilians in Chu are leaderless, and a plate of scattered sand is certainly a factor on the one hand, but more, Xiang Yu may have lost the hearts of most of the people in Chu at that time, which should also be very likely. ）

Therefore, in such a situation, only God knows how many people in the Chu State will contribute all their strength to maintain Xiang Chu.

And one thing that Xiang Yu didn't know was that even if he really planned to send reinforcements to Pengcheng, I am afraid that Xiang He, who assisted Xiang Bo in handling the affairs of Chu State, would not obey Xiang Yu's orders like this.

Because Xiang already knew that his precious son died under Xiang Yu's orders.

Xiang He knew that Xiang Shang was not good at fighting, and of course he would be punished, but Xiang Zhuang and the others interceded for Xiang Shang regardless of their previous suspicions, but Xiang Yu directly executed Xiang Shang, how could Xiang not be angry?

Therefore, although there is a Xiang Bo above, if Xiang wants to make some small moves in secret, he himself believes that only one Xiang Bo will not be able to fully understand and hinder him.

Of course, he also had a doubt in his heart, that is, who was the person Xiang Bo met that day.

After all, the person who can be worthy of letting Xiang Bo personally send him away will not be an ordinary person. But who this person really is, he can't understand.

He had a doubt in his heart, that is, whether this person would be Zhang Liang.

Because of the news that Zhang Liang served the Great Qin Empire, he was also very clear. As far as he was concerned, Daqin would not get any benefit at all by sending Zhang Liang to see Xiang Bo. Because Great Qin may not necessarily give Xiang Bo more things in the Chu State.

But Xiang overlooked one point, that is, if Xiang Bo completed a deal with the Chu State not for profit, but for the survival of the Xiang clan, then ...... Xiang Bo will undoubtedly cooperate with Zhang Liang.

At this time, a herald hurriedly entered Xiang He's room from the outside, and directly clenched his fists and said, "My lord, Ling Yin sent the villain over to say that there is something to discuss." ”

"Hmm, what did Ling Yin say?" Xiang looked at the herald strangely, and after thinking for a while, the latter continued to clench his fists and said, "Lord Hui, it is said that a rebellion broke out in Wu County. ”

"What!?" Hearing this, Xiang couldn't help but be surprised......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

This time the rebellion in Wu County mainly originated from a young man named Li Hunt.

In the eyes of many people who know Li Hunt, this young man is more of an ordinary person.

But in fact, he has another identity, that is, he is the youngest son of Li Yuan, who once served as a powerful minister of the Chu State.

Li Yuan, as a man who has done a very legendary thing, can be said to be Zhang Jiashi's thing, and he has to say a word:

King Chu Kaolie had no son, and Chun Shenjun was worried about this matter, so he looked for a woman who was suitable to have a son to give to the king of Chu, although he gave a lot, but he never gave a son. Li Yuan of Zhao brought his sister Li Yanyan to come, planning to dedicate his sister to the king of Chu, and heard that the king of Chu was not suitable for giving birth to a son, and I was afraid that he would not be favored for a long time. Li Yuan looked for an opportunity to be Chun Shenjun's attendant, and soon he asked for leave to go home, and deliberately delayed his return. When he returned, he went to see Chun Shenjun, who asked him why he was late, and he replied, "The king of Qi has sent an envoy to ask to marry my sister, and I have delayed my return because I have been drinking with that envoy." Chun Shenjun asked, "Have you sent the engagement gifts?" Li Yuan replied, "No." Chun Shenjun asked again, "Can you let me have a look?" Li Yuan said, "Yes." So Li Yuan dedicated his sister to Chun Shenjun, and was immediately favored by Chun Shenjun.

Later, Li Yuan learned that his sister was pregnant, so he discussed further plans with his sister. Li Yuan's sister found an opportunity to persuade Chun Shenjun to say: "The King of Chu respects and favors you, even if it is not as good as a brother. Now that you have been the prime minister of Chu for more than 20 years, but the king has no son, if the king of Chu is going to change his brother after his death, then after the king of Chu is changed to the king, he will also make the people he originally trusted noble, how can you be favored for a long time? Not only that, you have been in charge of political affairs for many years, and you will inevitably have many rudeness to the brothers of the king of Chu. Now I know I'm pregnant, but no one else knows. I have not been favored by you for a long time, if you dedicate me to the king of Chu by virtue of your noble status, the king of Chu will definitely favor me; I rely on the blessing of God to give birth to a son, this is your son to be the king of Chu, and the kingdom of Chu is all yours, which is better than the unexpected disaster you have suffered?" Chun Shenjun thought that this was very true, so he sent Li Yuan's sister out of the house, arranged it in a strict residence, and told the king of Chu that he wanted to sacrifice Li Yuan's sister. The king of Chu summoned Li Yuan's sister to the palace and was very fortunate to her, so he gave birth to a son, made him the crown prince, and named Li Yuan's sister the queen. The king of Chu valued Li Yuan, so Li Yuan participated in the government affairs.

Li Yuan sent his sister Li Yanyan into the palace, made him queen, and gave birth to a son who became the crown prince, so he was worried that Chun Shenjun would be even more arrogant because he had leaked the secret, so he secretly raised the assassins. intends to kill Chun Shenjun to extinguish the mouth, and some people in the capital know about this matter. In the twenty-fifth year of Chunshenjun's tenure as prime minister, King Chu Kaoli was seriously ill. Zhu Ying said to Chun Shenjun: "There are unexpected blessings and unexpected disasters in the world. Now that you are in a world of impermanence of life and death, how can you serve a moody monarch, how can there be no unexpected people?" Chun Shenjun asked: "What is the blessing that comes unexpectedly?" Zhu Ying replied: "You have been the prime minister of Chu for more than 20 years, although you are nominally the prime minister, you are actually the king of Chu. Now that the king of Chu is seriously ill and dies, you assist the young king, so you take charge of the state affairs on his behalf, just like Yi Yin and Zhou Gong, and then hand over the power to him when the king grows up. Chun Shenjun asked again: "What is an unexpected disaster?" Zhu Ying replied: "Li Yuan is your enemy if he is not in charge of state affairs, he has been raising assassins for a long time regardless of military affairs, and when the king of Chu dies, Li Yuan will definitely enter the palace first to seize power and kill you." This is what is called an unexpected disaster. Chun Shenjun then asked, "What do you mean by someone who comes unexpectedly?" Zhu Ying replied: "You arranged for me to be Langzhong, as soon as the king of Chu dies, Li Yuan will definitely enter the palace first, and I will kill Li Yuan for you." This is what is called the unexpected person. After hearing this, Chun Shenjun said, "You have to give up this plan." Li Yuan is a weak person, I am very friendly to him, besides, how can it come to such a point!" Zhu Ying knew that his words would not be adopted, and he was afraid that the disaster would affect him, so he fled.

Seventeen days later, King Chu Kaoli died, and Li Yuan really rushed into the palace first, and ambushed the assassins at the Thorn Gate. Chun Shenjun entered the Thorn Gate, and the assassins raised by Li Yuan caught and assassinated Chun Shenjun from both sides, cut off his head, and threw him outside the Thorn Gate. At the same time, officials were sent to behead Chunshenjun's house. And Li Yuan's sister was originally favored by Chun Shenjun, fortunately conceived and entered the palace, and the son born to Queen Chu Kaolie was established as the king of Chu, this is the king of Chu.

This kind of thing can be said to be a model of unjustified disasters and Li Daitao's stiffness.

Of course, few people know one thing, that is, Li Yuan did not end well in the end: a passage in "The Legend of the Martyr" records, "Later, the widow of King Kaolie still stands, and it is for the mourning king." The disciples of King Kaolie's younger brother King Chu heard that King You was not Prince Kaolie, and suspected the king of mourning, so they attacked and killed the king of mourning and the queen mother, destroyed Li Yuan's house, and made him king. ”

And the person responsible for leading the soldiers and horses to slaughter the Li family happened to be Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu army at that time.

It can be said that Li Hunt has an enmity against the Xiang family.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is very harmless to humans and animals, and Li Hunt, who looks like a humble gentleman, has planned many actions against the Xiang family.

For example, before Xiang Bo took refuge in Zhang Liang's house, it was because of Li Hunt's secret report that he was so embarrassed.

But Li Hunt, who didn't have a good impression of the Great Qin Empire, didn't plan to help too much of a Qin army that belonged to an external force in his eyes.

Under Xiang Yu's rule in the past few years, the state of Chu has become more and more unbearable, and in many ways, the oppression of the common people is even worse than before the Chu state was destroyed, let alone compared to the Great Qin Empire, which is still considered to be fed.

He did not accompany those powerful families to oppose Xiang Yu in 205 BC, but silently accumulated strength.

So, after a few years, Li Hunt, who had accumulated a considerable amount of strength, finally launched his own uprising against the state of Chu.
