Guangling, the first name of the ancient city of Yangzhou, Yangzhou in history, here, there was a large-scale offensive battle, the main attack on Guangling is a partial general under Zhang Chuguo Chen Sheng, named Zhaoping.

Since last autumn, he led his troops eastward to launch an attack on Guangling, which lasted for half a year.

Zhaoping, who wanted to ask Chen Sheng for help, suddenly got the news of Chen Sheng's defeat in the past few days, this news, like a thunderbolt from the sky, Zhaoping knew that he had no rear supplies and reinforcements, and where to go became Zhaoping's biggest knot.

At this time, Zhaoping's soldiers and horses had withdrawn from Guangling, and in the southeast of Guangling, they built a camp according to the ditch, and the available soldiers were less than 3,000.

In the big tent, Zhaoping frowned tightly, staring at the map, these days, Zhaoping obviously felt that he was a lot older, the Qin army defeated the Zhang Chu regime, and it would not stop there, they would advance eastward sooner or later, how could they resist the eastward advance of the Qin army?

Moreover, just one Guangling, he can't get into it, how can he settle down in the chaotic land of Shandong? Distraught, Zhaoping couldn't help but clump the map up and throw it on the ground.

The tent was extremely quiet, and after a long time, a person's name 'Xiang Liang' suddenly flashed in Zhaoping's heart.

Yes, it is him, Zhaoping's heart once again ignited hope, if he crosses the river and goes south to Xiangliang, perhaps, he can have a foothold in Jiangdong.

What's more, Zhaoping had heard that Xiang Liang was strong in Jiangdong and had the heart to go north, only because Chen Sheng was unwilling to go north in Jiangdong, Xiang Liang endured it so far, if he could make a false edict and let Xiang Liang go east, perhaps, Xiang Liang would go north because of this, what is the situation in Shandong, unpredictable, and he does not have to drift around to avoid the Qin army.

Moreover, Zhaoping knew that in this way, he could also keep his soldiers and horses, and even with the help of Xiang Liang's promotion, he could also take charge of more troops, thinking of this, Zhaoping couldn't help but smile and walked out of the big tent, looked at the relatives outside the tent, and ordered: "Gather the troops, I want to go to Huiji!" “

。。。。。。

Jiangdong Huiji, here, as usual, a team of 100 people of the Chu army patrols the streets, they are armed with big ge, majestic.

In the Xiangbo Mansion, lanterns have begun to be hung here at this time, and there are some red silks, which are held by several subordinates and hung in front of the mansion in a regular manner.

In half a month, it will be the day when the Xiang family welcomes their relatives, and the marriage with the Poyang Wu family will become the most solemn wedding since the founding of Jiangdong.

At this time, Xiang Bo was wearing a cyan robe, he looked at the people with a smile on his face who were busy hanging red silk, sometimes it was crooked, he would also point out one or two and let them reorganize, at this time, the laughter of his son Xiang You sounded in the distance: "Daddy, the second uncle is here." ”

Xiang Bo followed the voice, Xiang Liang walked slowly under the escort of several personal guards, Xiang Bo hurriedly told a housekeeper a few words, and then hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Why is the second brother free today?" ”

Xiang Liang saw that Uncle Xiang was already busy with sweat, and couldn't help laughing: "You'er is about to get married, how can I, who is an uncle, not come?" ”

After speaking, Xiang Liang looked up at the door of the mansion and praised: "The layout is good, it seems that you have put a lot of thought into it." ”

Both of them laughed, and at this time, Xiang Liang looked at Xiang You, who was busy not far away, and asked, "Are you still satisfied with this marriage?" ”

"Satisfied, no, he muttered every day that he wanted to choose a good day and go to the second brother's mansion to thank him in person." As he spoke, Xiang Bo glanced at Xiang Liang and saw that he was looking at his son Xiang You at this time, so he continued: "Moreover, I, who is a father, can see that he seems to be a little anxious, and he can't wait to go to Poyang today to propose marriage." ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Bo pretended to shake his head helplessly, and Xiang Liang laughed even louder: "This kid, no matter how anxious you are, it's not bad for a few days." ”

The two chatted for a while, and in the distance, a cavalryman galloped on horseback, he was the commander of Xiang Yu's command, and he had come to Xiang Liang at this time, and arched his hand: "General, the envoy of Jiujiang has landed at Jiangchenghe Port, and in one hour, he will be able to reach the county office." ”

When Xiang Liang heard that the envoy from Jiujiang had arrived, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said goodbye to Uncle Xiang and rushed to the county guard's mansion.

。。。。。。

After Li Shengyong disembarked from Jiangchenghe Port, he took a hundred sergeants and marched slowly along the gallop road.

Since the defeat of Zhou Wen, Zhang Han has been on a rampage all the way, no one can stop him, the situation in Shandong at this time has been chaotic, Wu Guang was defeated last year, Zhang Chujun can be said to be in danger.

Because of this, Deng Zong was not optimistic about Zhang Chuguo at this time, on the contrary, he preferred to be able to serve under Xiang Liang and cooperate with the Jiangdong Chu army, rather than die under a Zhang Chu regime that was riddled with holes and was about to overthrow.

With Deng Zong's requirements and desires, Li Shengyong embarked on the road to the south, and at this time, it had been some time since he left Jiangchenghe Port.

Not far away, a military horse suddenly appeared, slowly coming, the red Chu flag wandered in the air like a flame, Li Sheng looked ahead vigilantly, and immediately shouted: "Stop advancing." ”

The Jiujiang army stopped advancing, and at this time, the Jiangdong Chu army on the opposite side had gradually come, and the first general, dressed in silver armor, holding a halberd in his hand, came to the front on horseback, and arched his hand: "Are you from Jiujiang?" ”

Seeing the other party asking, Li Shengyong couldn't help but arch his hand and replied: "Under Li Shengyong, the special envoy of Jiujiang, I came to meet General Xiang Liang." ”

"I'm Xiang Yu, on the order of my uncle, I'm here to greet you, you can come with me." Xiang Yu laughed loudly, and then ordered the sergeants to line up to meet him.

At this time, Xiang Liang had returned from the county guard's mansion, at this time he walked into the mansion, Cao Wuji and others had been waiting for a long time, seeing Xiang Liang returning, everyone got up and saluted Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone sit down." ”

Xiang Liang also came to his place and sat down, at this time, everyone took their seats, at this time, the room was very quiet, everyone was silent, I don't know how long it took, Cao Wuji was the first to speak: "Liang Gong, I heard, the messenger of Jiujiang has arrived?" ”

Xiang Liang nodded and smiled: "Well, I have already ordered Yu'er to greet you, and after a while, you should be able to arrive in Wu County." ”

After receiving an accurate answer, Cao Wuyi sighed lightly, he looked at Xiang Liang worriedly, and said in a deep voice: "Liang Gong, I am very worried about the sincerity of Jiujiang's investment, after all, ......"

Cao Wuyi didn't say anything, he also knew that Jiujiang's investment might be true, but it was also possible that it was just to spy on Jiangdong's reality and then plan a sneak attack on Jiangdong, but the former would be more likely.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Liang said with a smile: "Not long ago, Zhuang Er sent a letter, clearly saying that Jiujiang County Deng Zong is like-minded and has a high degree of credibility, let us not give up this opportunity, I also think that as long as we stabilize Jiujiang County and pull them into our command, the resistance to our north will be much smaller, at least, we don't have to waste too much time to level Jiujiang County." ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Liang looked at Cao Wuyi again and said comfortingly: "Let's not make up our minds about this matter too early, we still have to wait for the envoy to arrive, and we will find out." ”

Cao Wuyi also nodded, he seemed to be a little too sensitive, perhaps, Jiujiang is sincere to vote, if he blindly suspects the other party, it will not be conducive to peace talks between the two countries.

Just when Cao Wuji and Xiang Liang were thinking again, a government soldier rushed in and arched his hand: "Duke Liang, General Xiang Yu is back, and at this time, the Jiujiang envoy is waiting outside the mansion. ”

Xiang Liang perked up and immediately ordered, "Quick, bring him in." ”

Soon, Li Shengyong and Xiang Yu walked into the lobby together, above, Xiang Liang and others had already gotten up to greet each other, Li Shengyong hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Under Li Shengyong, the master of Deng Zong of Jiujiang County, I have seen General Xiang Liang." ”

"General Li doesn't have to be polite." Xiang Liang greeted him with a smile, held up Li Shengyong with one hand, pointed to the guest seat on the side and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Several government soldiers brought a few cups of hot tea and placed them in front of everyone, and after leaving, the door of the guest hall was closed.

Xiang Liang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I don't know what General Li came to Jiangdong for this time?" ”

Seeing Xiang Liang ask, Li Shengyong put down the teacup, thought for a while, sorted out the words in his heart, and after a while, Li Shengyong smiled and said: "I don't know how much Liang Gong knows about the battle situation in the Central Plains at this time?" ”

Xiang Liang never thought that Li Shengyong would suddenly mention the war situation in the Central Plains, he was a little surprised, and sighed: "The land of Jiangdong, a remote state, the flow of information is not smooth, and I also ask General Li to talk to me." ”

Seeing Xiang Liang say this, Li Shengyong had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay, I'll talk about it first, the battle of Hangu Pass." ”

Li Shengyong seemed to be immersive, he had already gotten up and wandered around the house at this time, recalling every detail he had heard about with his heart, and said slowly: "Since Zhou Wen set off in Chen County, he recruited troops and horses along the way, and the momentum was huge, and the maximum number of troops reached more than 400,000, they broke through Hangu Pass, and the Hangu Pass guard Yang Xiong fled in a hurry, and then, Zhou Wenbing crossed Hudi, along the Wei River, all the way west, and went straight to Xianyang. ”

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shengyong, at this time, Li Shengyong sighed and said slowly: "Who knows, when Zhou Wen arrived at the theater, he was suddenly attacked by the Qin general Zhang Han, and fled in defeat, and then, Zhang Han led an army of 400,000 people, pursued all the way, went straight out of Hanguguan, and defeated Zhou Wen in Michi, Zhou Wen had no choice but to kill himself to thank the world. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shengyong's gaze wandered around everyone, and at this time, he said: "Subsequently, Zhang Han and Sanchuan County Shou Li You united to break Wu Guangjun, Wu Guang was killed, and at this time, as far as I know, Zhang Han has waved his troops south, directly approaching Chen County, if nothing else, it is difficult for Zhang Chuguo to escape this catastrophe." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shengyong paused, he looked at Xiang Liang, and sighed: "It is also because Zhang Chu's national qi has been exhausted, and the land of Western Chu is shaky, my general Deng Zong, fearing that the Chu country will perish again, specially ordered me to come to Jiangdong and ask General Xiang Liang for his life, hoping that the general can accept our Jiangdong army and support the Chu country together to resist the Qin army." ”

At this time, Xiang Liang no longer questioned the sincerity of Deng Zong's surrender, he put down the teacup in his hand, and comforted Li Shengyong: "Since General Deng intends to belong to me, how can I treat your general badly, from today onwards, I will officially accept the Jiujiang Army, and order your General Deng to still guard Jiujiang and temporarily take the post of county guard." ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Liang looked at Cao Wuyi, Cao Wuji was also looking at him at this time, nodded slightly, and Xiang Liang continued: "On another day, if I wave my troops north, I will definitely send someone to inform your general, at that time, I hope that the Jiujiang Army can help with all its might, and we will work together to help Dachu and overthrow the tyrannical Qin!" ”

"Willing to serve General Xiang Liang." Li Shengyong also replied.
