Chapter 17: Liu Bang Goes West



"Xiang Yu, are you going to rebel," Song Yi saw that the situation was not right, and immediately shouted, but Xiang Yu was already angry and lost his mind, he held a sword in his hand, and pressed towards Xiang Xin step by step, more than 20 guards looked at each other, they all knew that they were not Xiang Yu's opponents at all, but for the safety of Xiang Yu, the guards refused to slack off and confronted Xiang Yu,

The scene gradually got out of control, Liu Bang hurriedly blocked in front of Xiang Yu, and said hurriedly: "Brother Yu, there must be a reason why the king refuses to let you go west, you might as well listen to what the king has to say,"

Liu Bang's words were like a concoctor, Xiang Yu stopped, and all the generals were angry for breaking his promise, at this time, Song Yi sighed lightly beside him: "We are discussing, Zhang Han is a general of a hundred battles, and General Xiang Yu cannot fight the enemy, so it will be temporarily decided to cancel General Xiang Yu's plan to go west,"

Song Yi's words eased Xiang Yu's angry temper slightly, and at this time, Qian Xin also echoed: "That's true, Qing He is too anxious,"

At this time, a guard outside the door rushed in and said loudly: "King, the envoy of Zhao is asking to see you outside,"

After Song Yi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "They really came, General Xiang Yu, our chance to go north has arrived,"

Since there was a messenger asking to see, Xiang Yu had to give the heart of the face, but put the sword into the sheath, with the generals, standing on the side, Liu Bang also flashed to the side to standby, at this time, Shen Yang hurriedly walked into the hall, he saw that the heart was slightly flustered, and his heart was surprised, but Zhao Guo was already in dire straits at this time, Shen Yang had no intention of thinking about anything else, but bowed to the heart of the heart and said: "In Xia An Jun Shen Yang, on the order of the King of Zhao, I specially ask for help from your country, my lips are cold, I hope the king can send troops as soon as possible to save my king in danger,"

Shen Yang's arrival was already expected, at this time, Qi Xin stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, slightly adjusted his mentality, and got rid of the panic just now, looked at Shen Yang, and asked pretending to be concerned: "What extent has the war in Zhao Di reached now?"

"My king retreated to Julu, and Chen Yu divided troops to defend, each other is horns, the Qin army attacked several times, although it did not succeed, but the source of troops in Julu City is limited, food and grass are insufficient, if it is a stalemate for a long time, it will inevitably be lost, and please send troops as soon as possible,"

From Shen Yang's words, he could hear the urgency of Zhao State being besieged, and at this time, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said loudly: "If Zhao State dies, how can my Chu State fight Great Qin alone,"

As he spoke, his gaze wandered in the hall and fell on everyone, Xiang Yu also took a step forward at this time, and arched his hand: "In this case, please allow me to lead my troops north and cross the river to fight Qin,"

Xiang Yu took the initiative to ask Ying, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, but he had just promised Xiang Yu to lead the army north, and it was not easy to change his words at this time, but he could add a general to Xiang Yu's head to suppress him, so that he would neither break his promise, nor would he have to worry about Xiang Yu being in charge of the whole world and threatening his position, thinking of this, his eyes fell on Song Yi on the side, and ordered: "Go into battle to kill the enemy, Xiang Yu can be invincible with one enemy, but with a plan to overcome Qin, it must be a general, and I hope that the general will work hard and go in person in this battle,"

Song Yi sang a promise angrily, walked out of the court, and stood beside Xiang Yu, at this time, Xin Xin ordered loudly: "Order Song Yi to be the champion of Qingzi, lead 70,000 troops, Xiang Yu is the deputy general, Fan Zeng is the second general, go north to save Zhao, there must be no mistake,"

Xiang Yu was extremely disappointed in him again, but considering that he could go north to fight against Qin, fight with Zhang Han, and avenge his uncle, Xiang Yu had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and arch his hand: "The last general will be ordered,"

The cold gaze shot out of Xiang Yu's eyes, looking directly at Xiang Xin, although Xin Xin was frightened in his heart, he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, hesitated for a moment, Xiang Yu's gaze avoided, looked at Shen Yang again, and ordered: "You can go back and tell King Zhao first, our army will go north soon, please be sure to hold on, don't give up easily,"

Shen Yang was overjoyed, sang a promise, and left in a hurry,

The hall was quiet again, and he was worried that Xiang Yu would be mad again, and he couldn't suppress him, so he had to get up and say: "General Liu Bang, the day after tomorrow, you send troops to the west, and the widow will personally see you off, you can retreat,"

Liu Bang sang a promise and was just about to leave, but Xiang Yu grabbed Liu Bang and sneered: "Remember our bet, the one who enters Xianyang first can be the king of Qin,"

Liu Bang was a little surprised, didn't Xiang Yu want to go north, why did he say this to himself, just when Liu Bang pondered the intention of Xiang Yu's words, Xiang Yu had already let go of his hand, looked at the heart, and arched his hand: "The last general has also retired,"

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang retreated together, only Xin Xin and Song Yi were left in the hall, the two of them glanced at each other, they both let out a sigh of relief, and the tension in their hearts was gone.

Xiang Yu's loss of control, beyond the expectations of the two, no one thought that Xiang Yu rushed to the palace of Chu to go crazy, which made his prestige and faceless.

Sighing lightly, he looked at Song Yi and smiled helplessly: "It seems that General Song should be more careful when he goes north this time,"

"Hehe, the courage of the horseman, don't be afraid, please rest assured, the king," Song Yi shook his head and smiled, at this time, a guard walked in again, and arched his hand: "The king, Xiang Zhuang is asking to see you outside,"

"Xiang Zhuang," Xiang Xin was slightly displeased, a Xiang Yu was enough to give him a headache, how could Xiang Zhuang come to join in the fun, he wanted to order not to see, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get over his face, so he was hesitating, but Song Yi smiled and said: "Why worry about the king, Xiang Zhuang is not a brave man, and he may not be as arrogant as Xiang Yu, you might as well see it,"

"Okay, let him come in," Gong Xin sighed, walked back to the Taoist imperial case and sat down, at this time, Song Yi also returned to his position and sat down, both of them bowed their heads and were silent, until the sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall, when the two looked up, Xiang Zhuang had walked in quickly, came to the center of the hall, and arched his hand: "Xiang Zhuang, I have seen the king,"

"General Xiang Zhuang, please get up," Xiang Xin pretended to be calm and raised his hand upward, at this time, Xiang Xin found that Xiang Zhuang was actually wearing armor, is this going on an expedition?

With doubts, Jin Xin asked, "Why is General Xiang Zhuang dressed like this?"

"The king doesn't know, I got the news that the Qin army of nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses has set off from Wuguan, and its purpose is very likely to be Chen County or Hengshan County, if these two places are lost, Surabaya County is in danger,"

Jin Xin was slightly panicked, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this news reliable?"

"This news is absolutely reliable, I heard that the Qin army has already left the military pass, the army is pressing, 100,000 are in a hurry, please make a decision as soon as possible," Xiang Zhuang said, at this time, Qian Xin looked at Song Yi with a little helplessness, and sighed: "I'm afraid our army can't go north,"

The heart suddenly changed hexagrams, which made Song Yi a little helpless, but since Xiang Zhuang came to find the heart and came in armor, there must be a way to deal with it, so he looked at Xiang Zhuang and said with a smile: "General Xiang Zhuang is coming, there must be a way to deal with it, you might as well talk about it,"

"Hehe, General Song is really shrewd, I came this time, I want to ask Your Majesty to allow me to bring back the old department, garrison Hengshan County, can curb the eastward advance of the Qin army, can also wait for the opportunity to destroy this army and horses, if he has the opportunity one day, he can also go straight to Nanyang County, enter the military pass, and destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop," Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang's sharp eyes shot directly at the heart, his tone was aggravated, and he said in a slightly threatening tone: "If the king only considers going north to aid Zhao, and does not consider the threat of Nanyang County, once my army leaves, the capital is empty, and the Qin army is very likely to send troops to Pengcheng, At that time, even if the army comes back, I am afraid it will not help, and I ask the king to judge himself,"

After Xiang Zhuang's words were finished, Qianxin fell into deep thought, at this time, his eyes quietly glanced at Song Yi, Song Yi was also staring at Yuanxin, the two looked at each other, Song Yi nodded slightly, and Qianxin had to sigh: "That is the case, the widow agreed to General Xiang Zhuang's request and handed over the defense of Hengshan County and Chen County to General Xiang Zhuang, hoping that General Xiang Zhuang would not live up to the expectations of the widow,"

"The last general must be loyal to his duties and strictly guard against the Qin army, please rest assured,"

"When does General Xiang Zhuang plan to leave," Qian Xin seemed to ask aimlessly, in fact, he had secretly hated the Xiang family in his heart, a Xiang Yu, almost wielded a sword to kill the master, a Xiang Zhuang, the Qin army of Nanyang County came to threaten him, asking for soldiers and horses, these two brothers, there is no good cake, but Jin Xin has no ability to deal with these two people at this time, he can only wait for the war to subside, in Xu Tuzhi,

Xiang Zhuang asked when he saw it, and replied: "Gather soldiers and horses today, and set off in three days,"

"The widow will see you off when ...... arrives"

"King Xie, the last general will retire first," Xiang Zhuang arched his hand, did not wait for the heart to speak, hurriedly left the hall, looking at the back of Xiang Zhuang leaving, the eyes of the heart gradually became resentful, one day, he must kill all the people of the Xiang family, they have seriously threatened their throne, thinking of this, the heart of the Xiang family said hatefully: "If you don't kill the Xiang family, the widow will never have peace, alas......"

,,,,,,

Two days later, north of Pengcheng, 50,000 Chu troops marched out of the city gate and marched westward.

This is Liu Bang's army is about to go out, next to the city gate, Mi Xin in Song Yi, accompanied by Chen Ying, for Liu Bang to practice, Chen Ying has just rushed back to Pengcheng, what happened in the past few days, Chen Ying has heard a little, he originally advocated suppressing the Xiang family, there is a scale, but since Mi Xin trusted Song Yi, it seems to throw the scale behind, which makes Chen Ying have an extremely bad impression of Song Yi, and also tried to persuade Mi Xin, but Mi Xin was obsessed, Chen Ying gave up,

But Song Yi's westward expansion strategy, Chen Ying still agrees, if you can smash the Qin State and approach Xianyang, then the Qin State will be destroyed, and the three-year war can be over.

At this time, Qi Xin didn't speak, but Chen Ying had already laughed and said: "General Liu, the king has high expectations for you, I hope you don't live up to the king's trust,"

As soon as Chen Ying said, Liu Bang hurriedly knelt down on one knee, gave a military salute to Mi Xin, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the king, I will do my best to enter the Guanzhong and exterminate the Qin State,"

Qi Xin smiled and nodded: "General Liu is going all the way west, when Huairou is the mainstay, don't kill innocents indiscriminately, the widow will wait in Pengcheng for the news of the victory in Guanzhong, at that time, the widow will never break his word and crown you as the king of Qin,"

Liu Bang thanked him, he turned around and took the reins from his hands, turned over on his horse, arched his hand to Liu Bang again, and ordered Zhou Bo and others: "Let's go,"

The mighty Chu army marched in the direction of Dangjun, where Liu Bang still had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bang decided to merge this army of soldiers and horses, and then marched to Guanzhong,
