Early in the morning, in the camp of Zhang Chu's army in the southeast of Xingyang, Wu Guang summoned all the generals to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

It can be said that Zhang Han's march into Xingyang made Wu Guang feel the approach of the crisis, and Zhang Chu's army had been scarred after attacking Xingyang for a long time.

If it was right to persuade Tian Zang to go west, abandon Xingyang, go straight to Xianyang to kill, join forces with Zhou Wen, and sweep Guanzhong, then Wu Guang did regret it at this time, he regretted that he missed too many opportunities, but there is no regret medicine in this world, no matter what happened, Wu Guang must arrange everything in front of him.

At the beginning of the attack on Xingyang, Wu Guang had ordered Xu Wu and Deng Shuo to divide their troops into two ways, establish a foundation, seek backup for themselves, and establish a supply base, and at this time, Xu Wu and Deng Shuo had occupied Xu County and Tan County respectively, if the battle of Xingyang really could not continue, Wu Guang considered withdrawing the army, maybe he would march to Xu County, or perhaps, Wu Guang would go straight to Tan County, away from Sanchuan County.

But no matter which way he goes, Wu Guang must make a decision right now, whether to fight or not!

Just when Wu Guang was pondering and the generals were also thinking of countermeasures, outside the tent, a guard suddenly rushed in and shouted: "General, there is a will sent by Chen County." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Guang got up suddenly, at this time, Chen Sheng sent the holy decree, what would it be? Could it be that Chen Sheng already knew about Zhang Han's exit?

Thinking of this, Wu Guang didn't dare to slack off, and walked out of the tent with everyone, at this time, a person came to him, it was Tian Zang, I saw him holding a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand, behind him, Li Gui followed closely with more than 100 soldiers, Wu Guang was surprised, and shouted: "What's the matter?" ”

Tian Zang opened the bamboo slip in his hand and shouted loudly: "The holy purpose is this, Wu Guang is not quick to accept the order!" ”

Wu Guang was puzzled, but he didn't dare to openly resist the decree, and he didn't know that what Tian Zang was holding in his hand was just an ordinary military book, not a holy decree, at this time, Tian Zang had read aloud: "Wu Guangjiu has been attacking Xingyang for a long time, three years, spending military spending, countless troops, his crime should be punished, the widow specially ordered Tian Zang to take over the three armies, attack Xingyang, the day the decree arrives, it will be implemented immediately, there can be no mistake, those who dare to resist, there is no forgiveness!" Chin this. ”

After Tian Zang finished reading, Li Gui immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Catch it!" ”

Wu Guang behind more than a dozen relatives immediately drew their swords in their hands, wanting to resist, but at this time, more than 100 Zhang Chujun rushed up and killed Wu Guang and others.

At this time, Tian Zang half-squatted down, cut off Wu Guang's head, held it high again, and said loudly: "By the order of the king, take over the military power, and those who dare not obey will be killed!" ”

"I want to listen to the general's orders!" The generals knelt on the ground one after another, and several resisting Wu Guangqin were soon killed, at this time, Tian Zang turned around and ordered: "Immediately seal Wu Guang's head, expedite eight hundred miles, send it to Chen County, and hand it over to the king!" ”

Singing the promise in person, he took a wooden box, sprinkled it with white ash, loaded Wu Guang's head, wrapped it in cloth, and then turned over and got on his horse, took a few people, and galloped towards the outside of the camp.

At this time, Tian Zang and Li Gui glanced at each other, and they both smiled silently, in the camp, Wu Guang's banner was removed, and a flag with the word Tian was hung high. Listen to me! ”

。。。。。。

Zhang Chu Palace, here is not as peaceful as a year ago, Chen Sheng since he called the queen, at first he was still inspirational and commendable, wanting to annex the world, but with the passage of time, Chen Sheng gradually became obsessed with wealth, beauty, most of the time in his life, is dancing with women.

Since the New Year, Chen County, the court, and the palace have discussed the current situation to varying degrees, and they actually dared to talk about themselves behind their backs and in private, so Chen Sheng dispatched his two henchmen, Zhongzheng Zhu Fang and the chief secretary Hu Wu, to strictly investigate the people who discussed the situation in vain.

At this time, the two knelt down in front of Chen Sheng and were making a report: "Qingxinghan, Shuo Mingcheng, Hou Weiang, Li Yangping, Mao Gaojie, Tan Kaiji, Miao Yada and other officials are all talking about the king to varying degrees, this is a confession. ”

An attendant took the bamboo slip, turned around and walked in front of Chen Sheng, offered it with both hands, Chen Sheng opened the bamboo slip, looked at it roughly, and then threw it out angrily, and said with hatred: "Behead them all!" ”

The two sang a promise, but Chen Sheng changed his words again: "No, punish them three clans!" ”

The two sang the promise again, and at this time, a personal guard walked in quickly and arched his hand: "King, the Xingyang camp has sent an emergency military report!" ”

When Chen Sheng heard the report, he couldn't help but be surprised, the emergency military report, it couldn't be that something happened in Xingyang, right? Thinking of this, Chen Sheng suddenly got up and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, summon them in!" ”

Since Zhou Wen was defeated out of Hangu Pass, Chen Sheng's fear of the Qin army gradually emerged, and he began to realize that the army of Qin was not as incompetent as he thought, and in just one battle, his 400,000 army was folded in the pass, which can be described as miserable.

At this time, Chen Sheng's eyes were like torches, he looked at Zhu Fang, and said hatefully: "You just said that there are still people who talk about the current situation in vain, let's talk about it, what are they talking about?" ”

Seeing Chen Sheng asking, Zhu Fang arched his hand and said: "Some people say that the king is addicted to wine and does not know how to forge ahead, and some people think that Zhang Han should not fight the enemy when he goes out of the pass, and should avoid his edge, withdraw the army in Xingyang, and protect Chen County, and some people say that the king should move the capital in time and take refuge in Jiangdong ......."

"Enough!" Chen Sheng shouted, waved his hand, and said hatefully: "Continue to investigate, those who discuss everything in vain will be killed!" ”

The two of them sang the promise and left, and at this time, the attendant on the side came over, beat Chen Sheng's back, and sighed: "King, you have to pay attention to your body, you can't always be angry, that's not good." ”

Chen Sheng didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, he waved his hand impatiently, and the chamberlain retreated to the side, at this time, a neatly dressed young man walked into the main hall, knelt on one knee in front of Chen Sheng, and said loudly: "General Zuo Tian Zang is next to the guard, meet the king." ”

Chen Sheng saw that he was holding a wooden box in his hand, and said in surprise: "What is this?" ”

The guards held the wooden box with both hands and said loudly: "This is Wu Guang's head, and there is a secret letter from General Youtian." ”

Chen Sheng's body couldn't help but tremble when he heard Wu Guang's head, but soon, he adjusted his mentality, at this time, the waiter had already put the wooden box on the table, and Chen Sheng ordered: "Open it!" ”

The inner attendant probed and untied the burden, inside was a wooden box, after the wooden box was opened, it could be clearly seen that this was Wu Guang's head, Chen Sheng couldn't help but be surprised: "What's going on?" ”

Soon, Chen Sheng saw a piece of bamboo slip in the wooden box, he picked it up and took a closer look, and couldn't help laughing: "Wu Guang rebelled and has been killed!" Well done Tian Zang! The widow doesn't blame him! ”

After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he looked at the guard and ordered, "Get up." ”

The guards were ordered to get up, but Chen Sheng fell into contemplation, these years, he was the most worried, but also the most scruples, Wu Guang alone, Xingyang could not be attacked for a long time, he considered it many times, replaced Wu Guang, only because Wu Guang's prestige was too high, the military heart was deep, he had to forbear, now Wu Guang is dead, Chen Sheng has no worries, but shouted the order: "Come to someone, draft the order, order Tian Zang to be the general, Chu Zhuyin, let him take over Wu Guang's military power, and go all out to resist Zhang Han's army, there must be no mistake!" ”

。。。。。。

On the city of Xingyang, the flames were surging, and several beacon towers were surging with smoke, which was the signal of Zhang Chujun's strong attack on Xingyang, and in an inconspicuous building, Li You knelt on the ground and discussed the defense of Xingyang with several generals.

Zhang Chujun has stormed Xingyang for nearly ten days, and the frequency of attacks is higher than one day, if this continues, Xingyang will not be guaranteed, but if Xingyang is abandoned like this, Li You is unwilling.

In this way, Li You's heart was entangled, and on the side, a school captain said in a deep voice: "My lord, I heard that Zhang Han's 400,000 army is in Luoyang, why don't we ask them for help?" ”

A sentence woke up Li You, these days only care about defending Zhang Chujun, but he forgot about Zhang Han, thinking of this, Li You immediately ordered: "Send three scouts, the night is completed, be sure to rush to Luoyang before dawn tomorrow, ask Zhang Han for help." ”

。。。。。。

Ten miles away from Xingyang City, near Suo County, Zhang Chujun's temporary commander account was set up here, and he attacked for ten days, although Zhang Chujun suffered heavy losses, but in the same way, Xingyang's defenders had reached the limit, as long as they continued to attack, these two days, Xingyang would be broken.

Thinking that Xingyang was about to be broken, Tian Zang's heart ignited a trace of complaint, if that day, Wu Guangken listened to his own strategy, Xingyang was already in Zhang Chujun's pocket, why wait until now, but everything has passed, Tian Zang decided to start from himself and let Zhang Chujun rise again in Sanchuan County.

Just when Tian Zang was prideful about himself, a scout rushed into the account, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "General, we found 200,000 Qin troops north of Xingyang, and they are approaching Ao Cang. ”

"Two hundred thousand Qin troops? Whose team is this? Tian Zang couldn't help but be surprised, and the scout sighed: "On their handsome flag, there are chapters written on them!" ”

"Bang!" Tian Zang suddenly slammed the table case, and scolded angrily: "Zhang Han, you despicable villain!" ”

After Tian Zang scolded angrily, he looked at Li Gui on the side and sighed: "Zhang Handpifu, if you want to stabilize Aocang first and cut off our army's grain and grass, even if we capture Xingyang, it will be useless, and sooner or later we will retreat due to food shortage." ”

On the side, Li Gui nodded approvingly, and sneered: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, the army that went to Aocang was only 200,000, so where did the remaining 200,000 troops go?" If I'm not mistaken, the remaining 200,000 troops will come to the rescue of Xingyang, and we are in trouble! ”

Tian Zang was shocked when he heard this, he actually ignored this detail, if the plot was not secret, in this battle, Zhang Chujun would definitely be swallowed by Zhang Han.

Thinking of this, Tian Zang fell into contemplation, and the rest of the people were silent, thinking about countermeasures, but at this moment, outside the tent, the relatives who rushed back from Chen County ran and shouted: "The king has an order, add Tian Zang as Chu Zhuyin, lead the general's military, and immediately wave his troops north to fight against Zhang Han." ”
