Xiang Yu rushed from Qidi day and night to Chudi, and just crossed the border of Qichu for only two hundred miles, he saw his clansmen galloping on horseback, the armor on his body showed signs of cracking, and there were large patches of blood, and he was holding a baby in his arms.

Seeing Xiang Yu, the man immediately stopped the horse, knelt directly on the ground, and cried bitterly: "King, Xiang Yingcheng was broken by the coalition of princes led by Liu Ji, and the princes and kings are plundering the city.

The clansmen desperately rescued the little prince. ”

The coalition army plundered in Xiang Yingcheng, this is not his nonsense, Liu Bang's control over the princes is very weak, they are real allies, and there is no reputation between monarchs and ministers.

Back then, Xiang Yu moved all the treasures plundered by the Qin State from the Six Kingdoms back to the Chu State, and then set fire to the Xianyang Palace, nearly half of the Xianyang Palace became scorched earth, and the Afang Palace had just laid the foundation, and it was not necessary to burn it if it wanted to.

Now that these treasures have fallen into the hands of the princes, they naturally want to rob them, but the overall situation is still under control, just robbing things, not slaughtering the city.

These nobles have all seen Luoling calling for wind and rain with their own eyes, and everyone knows that Luoling is staring at them in Zhaocheng, who dares to slaughter the city is afraid that he wants to suffer two storms, thunder and lightning.

Xiang Yu stretched out his hand to take over his only heir, looked at the baby with tears on his face, and almost burst into tears, Yu Ji cried directly, and hurriedly took it from Xiang Yu's hand.

Xiang Yu asked angrily, "What about Liu Ji?" He has always been greedy for money and lustful, what has he done? Are there any clansmen who killed the Xiang clan? ”

Xiang Yu's feelings for Liu Bang are very complicated, when he was in Zhaocheng Alliance, Liu Bang was the only prince he had a good impression of.

Because at that time, only Liu Bang dared to attack Qin to the west, he thought that Liu Bang was a good man, and he and Liu Bang were about brothers, and they made an appointment to encircle and annihilate Meng Tian.

Later, Liu Bang did not encircle Meng Tian with him, but turned his head to break through the pass, he felt a little deceived, but later the news came that Meng Tian's tens of thousands of troops were annihilated by Liu Bang's army, and Xiang Yu's senses for Liu Bang became more and more complicated.

Until Liu Bang broke into the Guanzhong, Xiang Yu completely took Liu Bang as an opponent, and the follow-up was to demolish Liu Bang's Guanzhong, but in order to seal Liu Bang's mouth, he still gave it to Bashu and Hanzhong.

Xiang Yu was most worried that Liu Bang would ask him when the time came: "King Xiang, you and I were about brothers at the beginning, did you treat your brothers like this?" ”

That would be too embarrassing for the ancestors, if it weren't for the stability of the position of the Son of Heaven, with the glory of the Xiang family for eight hundred years, Xiang Yu would never be willing to do this kind of treachery to a man of great merit like Liu Bang, and he is also a brother with him.

After learning that Liu Ji broke the city, Xiang Yu knew that the Xiang family would definitely be retaliated against, but what he was most concerned about was Liu Ji, if Liu Ji attacked the Xiang family, then Xiang Yu would no longer have a burden in his heart.

The Xiang clan thought for a while and choked up: "The army of the King of Han didn't do anything, just entered the palace and moved the treasure, did not plunder in the city, and did not take revenge on the clansmen.

Basically, the army of the princes is plundering the ordinary Chu people, if they don't resist, it's okay, if they resist, they will be killed directly, in order to protect the little prince, many clansmen died in the city. ”

Liu Bang didn't want to control the Qin people, after all, the Qin people had grievances against the Chu people, so it was good to vent them.

But Luo also persuaded: "King, once some things are done, people's bottom line will be broken, and they will become more and more unscrupulous after that."

You are only conniving at the soldiers to loot now, if they are not allowed to loot next time, they will be dissatisfied, and the next time they want to kill and plunder, will you leave it alone?

And now that the Qin people are venting for a while, when they come back to their senses, they will find that you are the same person as King Xiang, which will not be beneficial to you in the future. ”

Liu Bang recalled that he was a little embarrassed when he first kicked open the widow's door, but then he didn't feel anything more when he let the widow have a child.

He knew that Luo Ye was right.

However, the Qin people came all the way to the Chu State, and no benefit was not conducive to unity.

In the end, Liu Bang made a bold decision, "The widow wants to reward the gold, silver, pearls, and jade in the palace of the king of Chu, as well as countless copper coins, to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, which they deserve." ”

After this move, Qin Ren's impression of Liu Bang has doubled, after so many years of fighting, when have you ever seen such a generous reward?

Xiang Yu was a little glad when he heard that the Han army did not plunder, and when he heard that the Xiang clan people in the city were slaughtered, his heart was full of fear.

Fortunately, most of the Xiang family's children are in Jiangdong Gusu's hometown, not in Xiang Ying, otherwise they would have suffered heavy casualties.

Thinking of those Xiang disciples and Chu people who might die tragically, Xiang Yu, who had recovered from his fear, instantly became angry and said hatefully: "A group of rotten nobles who should have died a long time ago, if I can't kill you all this time, what face will I have to meet my uncle, grandfather and the ancestors of the Xiang family!"

Immediately return to Xiang Ying, the widow wants to let these insects pay for their blood debts. ”

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

The Chu army let out an earth-shattering roar, Xiang Yu laughed, this is the Chu people, with the Chu people who destroyed Qin, the sound of war horses and chariots roaring resounded throughout the land of Chu.

20,000 infantry protected Yu Ji and Xiang Yu's sons, while the rest of the soldiers rode horses or drove chariots to Xiang Yingcheng at full speed.

Xiang Yu knew that there were 600,000 troops attacking Chudi, but he was not afraid, the more flaws there were for him.

Xiang Yingcheng is too rich, almost half of the wealth of the entire Qin State is here, the princes are very happy, looking at this scene, Luo Yi's face is very ugly, and Zhang Liang is the same.

The two met under the pillars of the palace, and they were both wise people's intuition, and they immediately knew what the other party was worried about, "Ziyu, what can I do in vain, even I can't persuade the king, the wealth is too moving." ”

Although King Han is a nobleman of the Korean government, he was too miserable in the Qin Dynasty, which caused him to love money a little too much, and now he is naturally unwilling to let go of these gold and silver treasures.

Luo Yi was a little disappointed that he didn't expect this scene, and sighed: "If the eldest brother tomb was here, he would definitely not make such a big mistake.

I knew that I should have purged the princes before, but now that I have lost this opportunity, if Xiang Yu comes to attack now, can I resist it with the current army of the princes?

Alas.

I am really worried, and now I have to go and advise the king of Han to get out of here quickly. ”

Zhang Liang's face changed slightly, if Liu Bang left, the backbone of the coalition army would be completely gone, but he thought about it and muttered: "Ziyu."

The King of Han will not agree, there are 600,000 troops here, more than a dozen princes, is the strongest force in the world, as long as King Xiang can be defeated, the King of Han is the new co-lord of the world.

He was even able to step on the crown of the king of the Chu people in the capital of the Chu people, could anyone in this world resist such a temptation?

Although Liang did not have a deep relationship with the King of Han, he was a gangster on the surface, but in fact he was a rare real hero in the world.

Such a hero will never be timid before fighting, he will definitely fight with King Xiang, this is his pride, you will return in vain. ”

"Alas!"

Luo Yi sighed slightly, he knew that Zhang Liang was right, Liu Bang was not the kind of person who was cowardly before fighting, if his strength was not as good as others, of course Liu Bang would listen to persuasion and then kill back, but now it is Liu Bang who has the advantage!

An army of 600,000!

Back then, Wang Jian brought so many troops to destroy Chu, and most of Wang Qian's 600,000 were farmers, which was far inferior to the current army inside and outside Xiang Yingcheng in terms of quality.

These armies have followed the princes through many years of war, and many of them are elite veterans, and once they put on armor, they are strong armies.

Luo Yi still decided to try, many things in this world cannot be taken for granted, even the most talented and intelligent people cannot explore the depths of people's hearts in everything.

What if Liu Bang experienced something, happened to be relatively weak in his heart, or was in a hurry to leave?

After returning to Liu Bang's side, Luo Yi said straight to the point: "Great King, since entering Xiangying City, the Han army has been able to maintain stability under your generosity and restraint, but the princes' army is in chaos, and even the army stationed outside the city is a little chaotic.

The minister is really worried.

If an army like the Princes' Army suddenly encountered Xiang Yu to attack, would there be any other outcome besides defeat?

The most terrible thing on the battlefield is the rout, if the princes' armies are defeated, can the Han army still be able to stand alone?

My lord, I heard that choosing an ally is like choosing an arm, if the ally is strong, you will become more powerful, if the ally is weak, you will have no strength, and now your ally will not only have no strength, but will even cause damage to you.

The minister thought that he should leave here immediately, and wait for the allies to come to their senses. ”

Liu Bang kept smiling when he heard this, but when Luo Yi finished speaking, he said directly: "Ziyu, what you said may make sense."

But now there are 600,000 troops inside and outside Xiang Yingcheng, if he leads so many troops, Ji Du does not dare to fight with Xiang Yu, then it is better to guard the fortress in Guanzhong and never go east again.

Things in this world are like rowing a boat against a river, either going forward or backward, and now Ji is like this, this may be the closest Ji has to the co-master of the world in this life, and this is the most powerful time Ji has.

A whole army of 600,000!

If you retreat now, where will you find so many troops in the future, how can you defeat Xiang Yu without so many troops?

And war is the most uncertain thing in this world, Ji will not necessarily lose, King Xiang can win the battle of Handan because he has Luo Gong to assist him, and there are princes to help him, and now only he is left.

600,000 against 350,000, will Ji lose? ”
