It rained heavily for more than a month. The Chu army was stationed under the city. Always remain silent. Duration. There are very few big wars.

But these days. When Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were in battle. Prepare for the offensive when the outer yellow is ready. Successive routs began to come to cast. Successively. Xiang Sheng. Xiang It and other generals also rushed to the Chu camp. They brought with them a piece of news that Xiang Yu didn't want to hear. The First Battle of Dingtao. The Qin army attacked the Chu camp at night. The Chu army was defeated. Heavy casualties. Xiang Liang's fate is unknown......

In the Big Tent. Xiang Yu roared angrily: "Gather the soldiers and horses immediately. I'm going to fight Zhang Handpifu for 300 rounds. Never die."

Everyone was saddened. The great defeat of the Chu army. Let everyone despair. Now. Xiang Liang's life and death are unknown. Many people advocate withdrawing from the army for the time being. Wait for the moment.

Of course. Also a little grumpy. The high-spirited people persuaded Xiang Yu to enter the army and set Tao. A shame before the snow. Rescue Xiang Liang. in their hearts. Xiang Liang won't die so easily. They believe. Xiang Liang must have been captured by the Qin army.

Chatter and quarrels. Inside the tent of the marshal of Chu. The crowd is like a small people in the market. It's just that the fists and kicks don't add up.

The dragon was even more indignant. He picked up his weapon. Go to the center of the tent. He roared angrily: "Since Brother Yu refuses to send troops. Give me 10,000 soldiers. Don't break through the camp of the Qin army. I vow not to return to the army."

"Long And. Don't be blocking the general. Let him think about it." Side. Zhong Li complained unhappily.

The Yuzi period also stepped forward. sighed: "Now the Chu army is newly defeated. It is not appropriate for us to compete with the Qin army. Outer yellow should be abandoned. Return to the army immediately."

"Back to the army. How can this be. So long a campaign. All the work has been wasted."

"yes. I think. We should march into the army. Find that chapter Han to duel out. It's a pleasure."

There was a lot of talk. Liu Bang had awakened from his contemplation at this time. Xiang Yu's generals are all talking about it. But Liu Bang's people. See Liu Bang silent. And then there was silence. At this time. Liu Bang slapped his palm on the table. There was a muffled sound. Then. Suddenly there was silence in the tent.

Liu Bang stood up and glared at everyone. Reprimanded: "The courage of the horseman. How can it be a big deal?"

Everyone's eyes were on Liu Bang. At this time. Liu Bang arched his hand to Xiang Yu. Only then did he say: "Now the Chu army is newly defeated. Morale is low. The morale of the army is unstable. It is no longer advisable to compete with the Qin army. Moreover. Wu Xinjun's life and death are unknown. Chu is in danger. I think. We should be prepared for both."

Speaking of which. Liu Bang sighed first. His piercing gaze wandered over the faces of the crowd. Moments later. He continued: "First. Multi-faction scouts. Investigate the whereabouts of Wu Xinjun. Second. It is very likely that the Qin army will take the opportunity to surprise the Chu land. Chu is in danger. We can take a letter off. Report the defeat to King Huai. Then send the book to the Quartet. Transferred back to the Chu army from all walks of life. Conservative Chudi. When the spring flowers bloom next year. Again."

Liu Bang's suggestion. There is a reason for what you say. Everyone couldn't help but nod. Xiang Yu's uncle's life and death are unknown. It's a mess. I can't make up my mind at this time. At the moment, I listened to Liu Bang's suggestion. Xiang Yu had no choice but to nod and say, "What Brother Bang said is very true. The matter was settled. Herald the three armies. Return to Pengcheng."

Early morning. The drums of the Chu camp expedition sounded. The Chu army began to assemble one after another. In the past few days, more and more routs have been pouring in from Dingtao. Xiang Yu was all under his command. Valuables are the first to go out of the camp. Subsequently. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's armies set off one after another. Marching to Pengcheng.

The army marched well. Prevent the Qin army from attacking suddenly. Xiang Yu constantly sent troops to inspect the rear army. At this time. Armies have marched into Dangjun one after another. But this day. A bad news came. Xiang Liang died in the battle of Dingtao City. The head was cut off by Zhang Han's own hands. Sent to Xianyang.

It's like a bolt from the blue. instantly made Xiang Yu furious. He roared. Roaring. Hysterical angry scolding Zhang Han. Greetings to the eighteen generations of his ancestors.

Ultimately. Under the persuasion of Liu Bang. Xiang Yu finally held back his anger. Xiu Shuxiang Zhuang. LV Chen. Let the two handsome troops rush to Pengcheng to meet. And send a pawn. Rush to Xuyi. Please Huai Wang move the capital to Pengcheng. The Qin army has been prevented from sneaking up on Xuyi. Broken Chu Foundation.

Chu Jun temporarily acquired Bai Aya. The whole army mourns. Substitute Xiang Liang hangs filial piety. Afternoon. An envoy sent by Liu Bang. Hurried towards Xuyi.

......

The city of Yanxian. 30,000 Chu troops lined up and waited. Since Xiang Zhuang went west. He first conquered Anlu along the Han River. Subsequently. Xiang Zhuang continued westward along the dry road. Marching to the county.

The county is backed by the Han River. It is the road to Nanyang in the north. After the rumbling drums. Xiang Zhuang rode his horse to the front of the battle. Look up at the dense crowd of human heads in the city. As you can imagine. The Nanjun county guard has already pressed the main force in Yanxian.

This westward expansion. Xiang Zhuang is not sure of victory. That's why he left Cao Feng in Baht County. Prevent defeat in the event of defeat. I'll hurt her.

After the tee drum sounds. The main force of the Chu army began to move slowly. This is the rhythm of the upcoming siege. And the city upstairs. The Qin army recruits people. In addition, 70,000 main troops gathered in Yanxian. This battle is for them. And it wasn't too stressful.

Seeing that the Chu army was approaching step by step. War is about to start. He is the first of the generals. Draw // out of the waist long sword. Glaring at the Chu army under the city. He shouted hoarsely, "The archers stepped forward. Prepare for battle."

Under the city. The Chu army was also waiting for Xiang Zhuang to give the order to attack the city. But not so long ago. Several cavalrymen dressed in white cloth rushed to the Chinese army. The order to siege the city was delayed. At this time. The Chu army has stopped advancing.

In the Chinese army. Several Chu soldiers dressed in linen and filial piety turned over and dismounted. The one who is the leader. It was the deputy general Huan Chu beside Xiang Yu. At this time, he came to Xiang Zhuang with tears in his eyes. Hand Xiang Yu's handwritten letter to Xiang Zhuang. Crying: "General. Wu Xinjun...... Wu Xinjun, he died in Dingtao."

The news came like a bolt from the blue. Although Xiang Zhuang knows. The first battle of Dingtao was a hurdle in Xiang Liang's life. Xiang Zhuang also wanted to stay by Xiang Liang's side. Help him. But Xiang Liang always refused to stay by Xiang Zhuang's side. That. Xiang Liang finally embarked on the road of no return.

Xiang Zhuang has also made countless assumptions. Imagine that my uncle will die in Dingtao. But when he heard the news of Xiang Liang's death in battle today. The grief and anger in my heart are still difficult to contain. He couldn't help but raise his head and shout, "Uncle......"

"General Xiang hopes that you can return to Pengcheng. Divide and defend the capital. Now. Only to protect King Huai. That's the number one priority."

The war against Yanxian has not yet begun. The Chu army had quietly retreated. At this time. A team of Chu troops hung their heads. Walk slowly. For the first one. He is Xiang Zhuang. At this time he was already dressed in filial piety clothes. Gaze into the distance. Xiang Liang's death. Let Xiang Zhuang realize. History is history after all. Not alone. One thing can change.

Half a month later. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang retreated to Chen County. Mentoring with Lu Chen. Jointly transfer away Pengcheng. After returning to Jiangzuo. XIANG Yu. Xiangzhuang garrison west of Pengcheng. Lüchen garrison east of Pengcheng. Liu Bang garrison Dangjun.

......

The depths of winter are coming. Chudi is a lonely scene. Snow is falling all over the sky. Clothed the earth with a thick winter coat.

Xiang Liang's tomb has been built. At this time. The Chu army only waited for King Huai's Luan to arrive. It will be a great funeral of the relics of Xiang Liang. Commonly known as 'clothed mound'.

At this time. Around the tomb, the cries of the soldiers of the Chu army echoed: "Wu Xinjun. Come back......"

It's in the conjuring. A few miles north of the tomb. There is a team of 1,000 people stationed here. Inside the big tent of the Chinese army. The quarrel of several people rang out: "I don't agree to bury with a living person."

"Zhuang'er. This is the custom of Chudi. Moreover. The second brother fought for half his life. Is it dying. Are we going to perfunctory him with terracotta figurines?" The one who speaks. It's Xiang Bo. Burial with living people and war horses. It was also Xiang Bo's idea. But this opinion. But he met Xiang Zhuang's strong opposition. At this time. Everyone was furious. Each does not give in.

Xiang Yu's attitude is also extremely clear. He supported Xiang Bo's opinion. Burial of my uncle with a living person. At this time. Outside the tent there was a muffled sound of a trumpet. This is the Luan of King Chu Huai. Xiang Yu resolutely got up. looked at Uncle Xiang on the side. Said resolutely: "The matter of accompanying the funeral. The third uncle is in charge. I don't have any opinions."

Xiang Bo nodded slightly. Then. Xiang Yu led the generals to leave in a hurry. Xiang Zhuang still wants to persuade again. Cao Feng gently pulled him on the side. Quietly shook his head. Seeing that the crowd insisted on doing so. Xiang Zhuang sighed helplessly.

The flag is fierce. The sound of mourning music. King Chu Huai's Luan came slowly. Coming with Luan. There are also hundreds of officials in the imperial court. Jiangdong Cao is not guilty. Poyang Wu Rui and others also came to Pengcheng in the past few days. This year. It is also a rare heavy snowfall. But this snow. But it was at Xiang Liang's funeral.

The deacons stepped forward. Read the text aloud. Next to the tomb. There was a cry. These cries. Some are crying for Xiang Liang. Some are crying for their tragic fate. Because of them. He is about to be sent to the grave for burial.

I read it for nearly half an hour. After all the liturgy is over. The burial officially begins. Chu Jun beats drums. See off Xiang Liang. Xiang Yu also swore at this moment. He wants to kill the Qin army. Revenge for your uncle.

The funeral is cumbersome. Lasted a morning. When everyone returns to Pengcheng. It's already noon. At this time. King Chu Huai's luan was guarded by more than 100 personal guards. The curtains are tightly wrapped. Inside the carriage. Chen Ying sat alongside.

King Chu Huai lamented Xiang Liang's death in battle. The Chu army has lost another general who can be entrusted with great power. Just as King Chu Huai sighed. Chen Ying said in a deep voice: "Xiang Yu is violent. Not enough to be a general. Now Wu Xinjun is defeated. The military affairs of the Chu army fell into the hands of Xiang Yu. I think. It's time for us to do something."

King Huai was interrupted in contemplation. He looked intently at Chen Ying. Surprised: "Let's talk about it. What should the widow do?"

"Take away Xiang Yu's military power. Keep the Chu army firmly in your own hands."

"But the widow is worried. Xiang Yu refused to commit it. So I can't help it." King Huai was a little helpless. Pull out the corner of the curtain. Look out of the car. Then. Chen Ying also lifted a corner of the car curtain. Not far away. Pei Gong Liu Bang, who was riding on a horse, looked at it. couldn't help laughing: "There is this person to balance Xiang Yu. He can't afford to make big waves."

Huai Wang followed Chen Ying's gaze. He also saw Liu Bang. Maybe. Chen Ying's words are right.

......

After Xiang Liang's funeral. Chu Jun made great efforts. Retired soldiers. A lot to do. Soon. King Huai issued several holy decrees one after another. Take away the military power of Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, and Lu Chen. Personally in command. Liu Bang still sticks to Dangjun. He was named the magistrate of Dang. WU Anhou. Feng Xiang Yu is Lu Gong. Chang'an Hou. The whole country hangs filial piety. Mourning Wu Xinjun Xiang Liang.
