Chapter 129: Xiang Liang and Chu occupy the city
The Zhu brothers fled back to Pengcheng and told Qin Jia that Xiang Yu was brave and invincible. Qin Jia saw that the two were defeated in the first battle, and he was furious in his heart, and no matter how injured the two were, he wanted to behead them to show the public. Ding Ji and the others hurriedly dissuaded: "Now is the time to employ people, can't you kill your own brother first?" Besides, Xiang Jun is so powerful, we have to find a way to deal with him? Qin Jia ordered the Zhu brothers to be temporarily imprisoned, and then disposed of when Xiang Liang was caught. Suddenly, someone ran in to report that Xiang Liang's army had arrived in the city.
Qin Jia hurriedly led everyone to the city to watch, only to see that the two generals in the lead were indeed unusual, one of them made a fight, and the other made a spear, just like a tiger descending from a mountain and a lion coming out of the forest. Qin Jia was secretly surprised, and hurriedly asked left and right: "Who are they?" An acquaintance replied: "The one with a short beard and a white face is called Ji Bu, and the one with a big beard is Zhong Lifu." These two are both heroes of Jiangdong and Huiji County, and now they are also following Xiang Liang to raise troops. Qin Jia said disapprerovingly: "It turned out to be a rebel general of the Qin State, then don't worry, after a while, when Xiang Liang comes, I will personally fight." If you can kill Xiang Liang, these people will be scattered! After speaking, he only sneered, and didn't take Xiang Liang to heart at all.
Time was short, and Xiang Jun really came like a tide. Qin Jia looked from a distance, in the Banner Shadow Team, Xiang Liang came to the city in a military vehicle surrounded by everyone, and they stopped about three hundred steps away from the city. The generals who followed on the left and right also stood on both sides, all of them tall and powerful. Xiang Liang came to the front of the formation and raised the long whip, and all the turbulent sounds and noises suddenly stopped. Xiang Liang pointed at Qin Jia and said, "Nameless rats! King Zhang Chu took the lead in the uprising, he advocated the people to oppose Qin, this is the desire of the people, you don't know the height of the sky, that is, you don't resist the Qin army, and you don't welcome the princes' army, but you set up a fake King of Chu without authorization, this is a big rebellion! Qin Jia said: "Chen Sheng is just a pawn of the Qin State, at best he is a hairpin, he can be the king, why can't others be the king?" Now Jingju is the second King of Chu after King Zhang Chu, why do you say that he is an impostor? Xiang Liang smiled: "Okay, even if it's not an impostor, then why do you kid want to stop my soldiers and horses?" Qin Jia listened to Xiang Liang's words, and he didn't know how to answer. Xiang Liang said again: "Now the heroes of the world are all rising up against Qin, but you are good, not only do you not dare to fight with the Qin army, but you only care about grabbing territory for yourself, this is simply a mountain king!" Let me ask you, why did you kill Wu Pingjun, the general of King Zhang Chu? Qin Jia was even more exhausted, so he had to talk nonsense: "The city of Qin State, everyone has a share, don't think that you are Xiang Yan's son is great!" If you submit to the king of Chu now, the king of Chu will make you a general, otherwise he will cut off your head first! When Xiang Liang heard this, he smiled dumbly and said: "My family has been a general for generations, and now I want to raise a righteous army to restore Chu and destroy Qin." You kid! It's just a nameless rat, who is rare about your broken general? Come out and die! Qin Jia saw that Xiang Liang really didn't take him seriously, so he immediately ordered Ding Ji, Zheng Bu, and Dong Qian to guard the city, and he led four generals to kill out of the city amid shouting.
After Qin Jia left the city, the general horse was laid out. On the left hand are Dong Yun and Song Chun, and on the right hand are Ma Yuan and Zhang Qiao. Then the order was given to beat the drums to help the battle. Dong Yun, Song Chun, Ma Yuan, and Zhang Qiao rushed to make their first contributions, so they slapped their horses and fought out. In the Xiang army's formation, it was still Xiang Yu who went out first. Xiang Liang said: "Nephew, stand back for the time being, you have already fought once, and you can't fight for merit anymore." Then he turned around and shouted: "Yingbu, Pujiang, Huan Chu, and Yu Ying listen to the order!" When the four of them heard Xiang Liang's call, they immediately walked out of the queue. Xiang Liang said: "You go and cut off the head of the thief!" The four of them said in unison: "Obey!" "The sound was as loud as thunder. The four of them came to the front of the battle. Dong Yun stepped forward to catch the battle between Britain and Buki; Song Chun and Pu will fight; Ma Yuan and Huan Chu fought against each other, and Zhang Qiao and Yu Ying went head-to-head. The four of them fought in front of the two armies, and after less than 30 rounds of fighting, Yingbu pierced Dong Yun's temple, and General Pu also split Song Chun into two sections, Huan Chu simply captured Ma Yuansheng alive, and that Zhang Qiao saw that his companions were dead, so he shook a blow and was about to escape, but Yu Ying threw a halberd from behind, pierced his back, and fell under the horse on the spot. By the time Huan Chu came to the front of the formation with Ma Yuan, Ma Yuan had already been cut off. The soldiers of the Chu army were stunned when they saw it. Qin Jia was stunned when he saw that the four deputy generals were all defeated in an instant. The four generals of the Xiang army were victorious. Xiang Liang was overjoyed, so he shouted to Qin Jia: "Boy, do you dare to fight?" Qin Jia hurriedly entered the city.
Qin Jia saw that he had broken the four beloved generals, and then he knew that it was reasonable for the Zhu brothers to be defeated, so he ordered the Zhu brothers to be released, and then discussed the matter with everyone. Zheng Bu said: "Xiang Liang wins today, the generals will be proud, just wait for tonight in the dead of night, we will go to secretly rob the camp, as long as we rush into the big tent of the Chinese army and cut off Xiang Liang's head in one fell swoop, the thief army will be in chaos without a fight!" Qin Jia saw that Zheng Bu had such courage, so he agreed to the matter of the night attack.
That night, Qin Jia first arranged for Dong Qian to defend the city, and he led Zheng Bu and Ding Ji to quietly lower the drawbridge, and then went straight to Xiang Liang's camp. Qin Jia came to the gate of Xiang Jun's camp, but saw that Xiang Jun guarding the door was already asleep, so he went straight in. When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, they didn't see any movement inside, and they were wondering in their hearts, when suddenly someone in the back camp broke off and shouted: "Bah! How dare an ignorant thief come and rob our camp? Xiang Yu has been waiting for you for a long time, look at the thorns! It turned out to be Xiang Yu, who rushed out from behind after speaking, and then shouted and killed. Qin Jia was shocked, he didn't expect Xiang Jun to be prepared, so he had to wield his weapon and engage Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu picked up the Canglong Swallowing Moon Halberd and swept it head-on, Qin Jia hurriedly intercepted it, this Qin Jia also had two brushes, and he could actually catch a few moves from Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu stabbed more than a dozen times in a row, and Qin Jia was out of breath and couldn't parry. At this time, thanks to Zheng Bu and Ding Jier, who stepped forward to protect him, Qin Jia was not stabbed to death by Xiang Yu, and then he knew that he was not Xiang Yu's opponent at all, so he turned his horse and fled.
Qin Jia walked out of the Xiang camp and came to the city gate, suddenly two soldiers and horses intercepted the way, it was Zhong Liwu and Ji Bu, and the two shouted: "Qin Jia, General Xiang has long known that you will come to rob the camp, quickly dismount and surrender!" Qin Jia panicked, so he had to walk around the city with Zheng Bu and Ding Ji, running desperately, all the way to the direction of Liucheng. Zhong Liwu and Ji Bu chased after him, and when they saw that Qin Jia was running too fast, they had to stop chasing and return to report. When Xiang Liang heard that Qin Jia had escaped, he led Xiang's army to besiege the city. Killing voices suddenly erupted around Pengcheng, and the siege vehicles formed a large area. When it was dawn, Dong Qian saw the dense siege of Xiang's army in the morning light, and he was so shocked that he was at a loss, so he erected a flag on the head of the city.
After Qin Jia fled to Liucheng, he first told the king of Chu about the strength of Xiang's army, then arranged the equipment to defend the city, and then summoned Yu Fanjun and Zhu Jishi, and asked everyone to work hard to defend the city.
When Xiang Liang got Pengcheng, he incorporated all the Chu troops and reused Dong Xuan. After resting for two days, he came to Liucheng again. Qin Jia saw that Xiang's army had many brave generals, and where did he dare to fight again, so he had to send Zheng Bu, Ding Ji, Yu Fanjun, and Zhu Jishi to guard one gate and patrol the city to supervise the battle. Xiang Liang saw that Qin Jia would not fight or surrender, so he asked the sergeant to shout to the city: "Those who surrender will live, and those who resist will be executed!" When the king of Chu heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly asked Shangzhu what to do. Qin Jia scolded: "There are still thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, and there are generals guarding them, what are you afraid of?" "He personally carried his sword to patrol the city and actively prepared for war.
Xiang's army besieged the city for three days, and the city was already in chaos. Qin Jia said to Yin Lingningjun: "We are the tribe, and the king of Chu is the commander." Xiang Liang wants his head, why don't we kill the king of Chu and sacrifice the head to Xiang Liang, so that everyone can live! When Ning Jun heard that Qin Jia was going to kill the King of Chu, his face turned pale with fright, so he pretended to be calm and said: "You wait first, there are many soldiers defending the city, and the city may not be breached immediately." If we can survive this, we can plan for the future. But if the king of Chu is killed, the army's heart will change, and everything will be over. Qin Jiamo was silent and walked out. Ning Jun observed Qin Jia's expression and had already concluded that Qin Jia was determined to kill the King of Chu.
That night, Ning Jun was at his residence, and after thinking about it, he had no idea, and suddenly his staff member Liu Zhao came to see him. Ning Jun told him that Qin Jia was going to kill the king of Chu. Liu Zhao said: "Qin Jia is domineering, he doesn't take the king of Chu and you in his eyes at all, and now he wants to kill the king of Chu to seek his life, this is a thing that forgets his righteousness." If you don't rescue the king as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the state of Chu will be destroyed! Ning Jun asked if there was any good way. Liu Zhao suggested that the Zhu brothers should also be called to discuss. Ning Jun hurriedly sent someone to call the two, and after they came, they were also shocked when they heard that Qin Jia was going to kill the king of Chu, so he asked Yin Ling what he should do. Liu Zhao said: "Qin Jia relied on obscenity and self-righteousness, which led to today's defeat. If he hadn't been an enemy of Xiang Liang, how could he be today? The Zhu brothers said, "Since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!" It's better to kill Qin Jia, and then we will protect the king of Chu out of the city. Liu Zhao said: "You two are right, let's go to Liu Bang!" I heard that Liu Bang is known as an elder, and he can eventually achieve great things, so we still defected to him. Ning Jun listened to everyone's words, and although he was shocked, he could only agree.
The four of them made up their minds, so they came to see the king of Chu together and told him about Qin Jia's rebellion. As soon as the king of Chu heard that Shangzhu was going to kill him, he was immediately frightened, and he hurriedly asked what to do. Ning Jun said: "Without further ado, only by getting rid of Qin Jia first can the king be safe." The king of Chu said in fear: "The lonely one has no reputation, and it is only because he is greedy for temporary wealth that he was forced to take the position of the king of Chu by Shangzhu State." But since he became king, the affairs of the state have not been decided alone. Now he wants to kill Gu, you have to save Gu's life! Zhu Hu said categorically: "Let's go kill Qin Jia now, and then find a way!" King Chu said: "I'm afraid that you two won't be able to kill the traitor?" ”
The Zhu brothers were also indignant, and said, "We will definitely succeed!" After speaking, he immediately hid the dagger and walked straight towards Qin Jia's mansion. When they came to the door, they saw that there were soldiers guarding them, and they said that there was an urgent military situation to see Shangzhuguo. And the guards let them in. As soon as the two of them walked to the inner gate, they heard Qin Jia say: "Now Xiang Liang is in a hurry to attack the city, the city is about to be breached, if the city is broken, everyone will definitely die, it is better to cut off the head of the king of Chu now, we will carry our heads out of the city and surrender, Xiang Liang will let us go!" The people said, "That's good! I'm afraid that Xiang Liang will not let us go? The Zhu brothers were shocked when they heard this, thinking that there were many people inside, and if they went in, they might not be able to kill Qin Jia, but would make things worse, so they turned around and walked out. The two immediately rushed back to the palace and told the king of Chu that Qin Jia was coming to kill the king of Chu. When the king of Chu heard this, he just cried and wiped his tears. Ning Jun immediately said: "Without further ado, we can't hesitate any longer. "Let the king of Chu quickly disguise himself as a soldier. Jing Ju took off the king's clothes and changed into soldiers' clothes. The four of them walked out the back door.
As soon as everyone left, Qin Jia led people to the palace. They searched everywhere and found the king of Chu. Qin Jia knew that it was Ning Jun who rescued the King of Chu, so he sent people to search around. When the soldiers defending the city heard that Qin Jia was going to kill the king of Chu, they gave up resistance. Xiang Jun then poured into the city, and for a time the whole city was full of shouts of killing. Qin Jia had no choice but to lead his henchmen to run away from the north gate.
The king of Chu came to the west gate under the protection of the four people, and they were mixed in with the people. After Xiang's army entered the city, there was chaos between the city gates. The king of Chu had never seen the scene of the battle, and when he saw the dead corpses, his legs were weak, and he was scattered by the rebel army, so he kept crawling under the corpses and hiding. Xiang Jun didn't know him either, and after Xiang Jun entered the city, he crawled out of the city gate.
After the Zhu brothers and Ning Jun and Liu Zhao went out of the city, they found that the king of Chu was missing, and they searched for several days, but they were nowhere to be found. The Zhu brothers asked Ning Jun what to do. Ning Jun also said: "Xiao He and Zhang Liang of Pei County are both heroes of great benevolence and wisdom, and the two of them can finally succeed with Liu Bang's assistance." We have no place to stand in this calamity, so we have to go to them. Liu Zhao also agreed, and the four of them walked towards Pei County.
Xiang Liang entered Liucheng, summoned some officials, collected all the grain, cloth, and weapons in the treasury as his own, and then called on the people in the name of Xiang Yan. A few days later, someone came to report that Jingju was missing, and Qin Jia led the remnants to Huling to establish himself as the king of Chu. Ji Bu and Zhong Li said: "Jingju is a wreck, don't worry. But if he doesn't kill Qin Jia, he will still make waves. "Xiang Liang sent Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu to attack Hu Ling, and they must capture Qin Jia. And they immediately took the order. Xiang Liang then appeared on the list. There is a poem in the past:
Eight thousand children crossed the river, and they destroyed the pseudo-Chu with one drum.
If there is nothing wrong in the end, the prestige is enough to carry the wind and thunder.
