In the county office, Chen Ying was anxious, and the loss of Dongyang County made Xutai County isolated, and what made Chen Ying even more unacceptable was that tiger generals like Pu Shan, who could fight and were accustomed to fighting, were defeated by the Chu army.

Anxiety and irritability made Chen Ying unable to face everything calmly, if the Chu army came to the city, Chen Ying knew that he could only hold out for three days at most, perhaps, under the powerful offensive of the Chu army, he would not be able to hold out for even three days.

Even so, Chen Ying was unwilling to give up Xutai County and didn't want to leave anyone behind, which was exactly what Chen Ying was frustrated about.

It can be said that Chen Ying's county order was not sealed by the imperial court, but his people in Xutai County are prosperous, because he is loyal and has promises to people, so he will get everyone's support and take over the affairs of Xutai County.

There were also people who persuaded Chen Ying to stand on his own and break away from the Qin State, this matter once troubled Chen Ying, and Chen Ying also told his seventy-year-old mother about this matter, but the old mother has not been called the king of the Chen family since ancient times, that is to say, the Chen family has been mediocre for generations, so as to advise Chen Ying not to think about it.

It was his mother's teachings that dispelled Chen Ying's idea of self-reliance, and now the Chu army is in the city, and there are less than 3,000 soldiers available in Xutai County, despite this, Chen Ying is still actively preparing for war, just to fulfill his promise and want to keep everyone's property, after all, Chen Ying has also heard that almost everywhere Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses pass has become a scorched earth.

Just when Chen Ying was pacing back and forth, hesitating and feeling sad, a government soldier rushed in and arched his hand: "My lord, Pushan outside the city asks to see you!" ”

It seems that Pu Shan's name has some kind of magic, Chen Ying heard the word Pu Shan, and suddenly his spirit perked up, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "You mean...... Pushan? ”

The government soldiers nodded, Chen Ying was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Quick, please let him enter the city!" ”

Not long after, Pu Shan came to the county government under the leadership of a government soldier, Chen Ying personally greeted him, the two greeted each other, and came to the back hall of the county government, at this time Pu Shan, slightly embarrassed, covered with dust, but Chen Ying did not care about these, the two of them sat down, at this time, Chen Ying did not wait for Pu Shan to speak, and hurriedly asked: "I heard that Dongyang County was lost, why did General Pu escape?" ”

Seeing that Chen Ying went straight to the topic, Pu Shan knew that Chen Ying was also a frightened bird at this time, so he arched his hand and said: "The Chu army is strong, with one enemy and ten, it is very difficult to fight, and Xiang Yu, the vanguard general of the Chu army, is very skilled and domineering, I fought with him fiercely, and in the end I was not his opponent, and I lost to him!" ”

Speaking of this, Pu Shan deliberately paused, glanced at Chen Ying's expression, and saw that he was slightly stunned, Pu Shan nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Moreover, many of the weapons used by the Chu army are iron, hard and abnormal, ordinary weapons, it is difficult to fight, and if you go down with a sword, the bronze sword will be split into two, which is why the soldiers under my command have suffered heavy casualties." ”

When Chen Ying heard this, he already knew a little in his heart, I am afraid that Pu Shan came to Xutai County this time to be a lobbyist, but Chen Ying did not say anything, only said in surprise: "General Pu has experienced a hundred battles, can't he defeat the Chu army?" ”

"Alas......" Pu Shan sighed lightly, waved his hand and said: "I'm ashamed, after I lost to Xiang Yu, I was surrendered by Xiang Yu, at this time, I am already a member of the Chu army, the reason why I came to Xutai County alone this time is because I don't want to see Lord Chen take my old path, so that Xutai will also be slaughtered by the Chu army, it is better to ......"

Pu Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he paused to speak, at this time, there was no need to say more details, Chen Ying must know Pu Shan's intention.

The two looked at each other like this, and they were silent.

I don't know how long has passed, Pu Shan saw that Chen Ying always bowed his head and said silently, but forced a sentence: "I came this time, I have made up my mind to die, if Lord Chen is willing to surrender to the Chu army, I am willing to recommend the adult, if the adult is determined to be loyal to the Qin State and swear to defend the city, I am willing to put on the head of the person to sacrifice the flag for the adult, I only hope that Lord Chen can triumph, do not make Xutai County become a scorched earth, regret for life." ”

Pu Shan's words, like a thorn, deeply stung Chen Ying, when he heard the words 'a piece of scorched earth', the last bottom line in Chen Ying's heart finally collapsed, he sighed helplessly, and looked at Pu Shan, "What General Pu said is very true, since you have descended to Chu, why should I insist alone, besides, Donghai County was originally the land of Chu, and it is not a day or two that everyone is looking forward to recovering Chu, I am willing to follow the will of the people and work with you to descend Chu." ”

Hearing that Chen Ying finally agreed, Pu Shan suddenly got up and said with great joy: "Those who know the times are Junjie, tomorrow, I will go to Chuying with you, how about it?" ”

"With your introduction, I feel at ease."

。。。。。。

After the end of the battle of Tan County, the Eastern Chu State led by Jing Ju has risen in the north of Donghai County, Lanling area, at this time the strength of the Eastern Chu army was greatly boosted, with nearly 70,000 soldiers, after they stabilized the northern part of Donghai County, they waved troops into Xue County, and fought more than ten battles in Xue County, bringing Fang and the county area into their own command.

Immediately, the East Chu army continued to march westward, marching to the Dingtao area, the mighty team stretched for several miles, the purple flag fluttered in the wind, in the middle of the team, the Qi Jingju rode on a horse, slightly wooden, at this time, he was thinking back to the year, he was poor, a lot of hardship, just because he was a Chu ethnic group, he was not welcomed.

thought that he would do nothing in this life, but he met Qin Jia and helped himself to the throne of Chu.

Not far away, several horsemen galloped over, the leader of the people, with a helmet and armor, he was Qin Jia, the general under the command of Meng Jingju, at this time Qin Jia came to the side of Meng Jingju, and bowed his hand: "The last general has seen the king." ”

Qi Jingju was interrupted by Qin Jia to ponder, he had to smile bitterly, leaving countless memories behind, at this time, Qi Jingju let out a long breath, adjusted his mentality, looked at Qin Jia, and said with a smile: "Is there anything urgent about the general?" ”

Qin Jia saw that Jin Jingju asked, and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard that the Jiangdong Chu army has crossed the river to the north, and at this time, it is in the area of Xutai County, Donghai County. ”

"This ...... I haven't heard of it yet. Qi Jingju waved his hand and smiled, at this time, Qin Jia said with a smile: "King, the Xiang family is behind the generals of the Chu State, if we can move them and win over Xiang Liangdao's command, it will be like a tiger with wings, and the Eastern Chu State will definitely be able to revive the majesty of the Chu State back then, recover the old Chu land, and the king's plan to destroy Qin can also be realized as soon as possible." ”

Qin Jia's words just reached the heart of Qi Jingju, but he was still a little worried, after all, he was a partial branch of the Chu State, and it was difficult to get Xiang Liang's support, thinking so, Qi Jingju sighed: "But I'm worried that Xiang Liang will not submit to us." ”

Qi Jingju's words are exactly what Qin Jia is worried about, he has also considered this problem, indeed, Xiang Liang is arrogant, he may not be willing to live in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, thinking of this, Qin Jia's eyes burst into cold light, and said coldly: "If you can't become a colleague, then you can only be an enemy, I will personally send troops to fight against Xiang Liang." ”

Seeing Qin Jia say this, Qi Jingju felt that the topic was too depressing, he coughed dryly, waved his hand and said: "You can arrange this matter, if you can talk about it, it is a good thing, if not, we will think about it in the long run." ”

Qi Jingju didn't want to discuss this topic, Qin Jia could understand, at this time he gave up his hand and sang a promise, rode away, looking at Qin Jia's departing back, Qi Jingju sighed, Xiao Se war, burning the Central Plains, if he can choose, Qi Jingju would rather be born in a peaceful era, born in an ordinary people's family, and live a stable and prosperous life, that is what he really yearns for.

Thinking in a daze, Gong Jingju stopped his horse and looked into the distance, Gongsun Qing was ordered to envoy to the Qi country, and he had been walking for half a month, I don't know if he had arrived in the Qi country at this time.

For the current Qi Wang Tian Dan, Jin Jingju is more envious, envious of Tian Dan's courage, envious of Tian Dan's courage, being able to rely on himself and revive a country on his own, which is something that ordinary people can't do.

In the heart of Meng Jingju, Zhao and Wei both relied on Chen Sheng's strength to start, but Tian Dan, his rise was too dramatic and accidental, which also made Meng Jingju feel that Tian Dan had a unique heroic spirit.

If Chen Sheng does not die and Zhang Chuguo does not fall apart, I am afraid that at this time, he is still a little man who does nothing, and he can only live a miserable life forever, let alone be the king of Chu, which is something that he does not dare to hope for in his life.

Thinking of this, Jin Jingju was more worried about whether he could form an alliance with the Qi State, he was very afraid that Tian Dan would reject him and refuse to form an alliance, in that way, the Eastern Chu Congress would become a loner and face the Qin army alone, although the Eastern Chu State was not weak at the moment, but Jin Jingju knew very well that if he wanted to fight against the powerful Qin State, the strength of Eastern Chu was far from enough.

。。。。。。

Qi Palace, an emergency meeting has just been held here, Zhang Han is advancing westward, and the news of defeating the Song Liujun on the front line of Nanyang has come, which makes Tian Dan a little worried, he is very worried, worried that Zhang Han will take advantage of the extermination of Song Liu, and the commander will march east and launch an attack on Qi.

This is not blindly afraid of the Qin army, but Tian Dan knows very well that the current Qi State is not strong enough to support the 500,000 Qin army, so the Qi State has always maintained an alliance with the Wei State.

Although Tian Dan had also formed an alliance with Zhao State, since Li Liang's rebellion, Zhao State's internal turmoil made Tian Dan not optimistic about the future of Zhao State.

Today is the day when the envoy of the Eastern Chu State visits him, so the meeting that was supposed to be held until the afternoon was temporarily canceled by Tian Dan.

At this time, the propaganda official has been gone for a long time, calculate the time, the messenger should also come, Tian Dan got up and stretched, outside the hall, a personal guard shouted: "Envoy of the Eastern Chu State, Gongsun Qing Hall is waiting for you." ”

When Tian Dan saw the messenger coming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Bring him in." ”

Soon, Gongsun Qing walked in slowly, came to the center of the main hall, and arched his hand: "Envoy of the Eastern Chu State, Gongsun Qing pays a visit to the king." ”

Gongsun Qing's movements were unruly, and there was a feeling that a big country was sending a small country, which made Tian Dan feel uncomfortable, but he had already suppressed his anger at this time, and asked loudly: "Say, what is the so-called matter when you come this time?" ”

Seeing Tian Dan asking, Gongsun Qing replied: "On the order of my king, I sent an envoy to your country, hoping that the two countries can form an alliance. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Qing really came to form an alliance, Tian Dan coughed dryly and reprimanded: "Although Zhang Chuguo was defeated, the life and death of King Chen Sheng are unknown, how can you kill the minister and stand on your own?" Besides, the founding of the country is a major matter, and you should explain it to me to some extent, instead of making your own opinions, you can go back and tell Mi Jingju about it. ”

Seeing that Tian Dan called Mi Jingju's name directly, and blamed the Eastern Chu for its self-reliance, Gongsun Qing suddenly changed color and argued: "The Qi State is self-reliant, and it has not been made clear to the Chu State, besides, our Chu State is the first to raise the banner of righteousness, and all the righteous troops must be based on the orders of the Chu State, why did the king just say?" ”

Gongsun Qing's words completely angered Tian Dan, and at this time, Tian Dan suddenly got up, glared at Gongsun Qing angrily, and said hatefully: "Do you dare to contradict this king?" ”

Gongsun Qing also knew that he was speechless, the purpose of his coming here was to form an alliance with the Qi country, and the relationship was so stiff at this time, how could he make up for it?

Just when Gongsun Qing hesitated, Tian Dan had already roared angrily: "Come on, pull this madman down to the widow and behead him!" ”
