Chapter 24: Xiang Zhuang's Vision



%d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3 time migration, it has been ten days since Xiang Yu's mutiny, at this time the Hebei Chu army is waiting for an order, an order from Chu Huai Wang Xinxin to officially appoint Xiang Yu, as long as the order arrives, Xiang Yu will go north and fight to the death with Zhang Han,

On the other hand, Zhong Liwu, who was ordered to rush to Hengshan County, was finally about to arrive in Yi County after nearly ten days of traveling, at this time the team was resting in a mountain forest, several soldiers hurriedly went to fetch water with water bladders, and the rest of the people were half-leaning on the big tree, chewing the bread in their hands,

Thousands of miles along the way, Zhong Liwu and the others were very tired, but Xiang Yu was ready to start in the north, the war was about to start, and his letter was particularly important, thinking so, Zhong Liwu touched the bamboo slip in his arms with his hand, swallowed the last bite of cake in his hand, and then got up and ordered: "The water is back, let's drink a few sips quickly, and then hurry as soon as possible,"

In the east city of Yixian County, Xiang Zhuang's mansion is located here, and nearly 100 Chu soldiers are guarding this small mansion, and at this time, it should be the busiest time of the day, but Xiang Zhuang hurried back to the mansion on horseback.

In the guest hall, Wu Fang sat on a soft mat with tears stained on the side, on the side, Cao Feng carefully comforted her, it should have been two women who were incompatible when they met, but at this time, it was like a deep sisterhood, Xiang Zhuang shook his head helplessly on the soft mat on the side, the woman's heart was needled,

Wu Fang hurried to Yi County, something must have happened, Xiang Zhuang was opening a cloth bag at this time, inside, it was Wu Rui's handwritten letter, Xiang Zhuang looked at three lines, and quickly read the letter, and then, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he couldn't help but sigh softly,

Wu Rui's war report was written very sloppily, it can be seen that when he wrote this letter, he was very anxious, among them, a war report caught Xiang Zhuang's attention the most, Wu Rui led the army to the vicinity of Jiuzhi Mountain, ready to continue westward from Lingling, but the southern miasma was very great, the mountain road was difficult to travel, Wu Rui fell ill on the way, the trip was delayed, he hoped that Xiang Zhuang could come to help, and hoped that Hengshan County could help share the military supplies, Poyang was no longer able to supply large-scale marching needs, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but become hesitant after seeing it,

Liu Bang went west, Song Yi went north, at this time, Qin's attention will be focused on the northern line, this is a good opportunity for Xiang Zhuang to go straight // to smash Nanyang, if he breaks through the Wuguan, Xiang Zhuang believes that he is absolutely capable of entering Xianyang, but at this time, Wu Rui's request for help makes Xiang Zhuang have to consider going south, in this case, Xiang Zhuang's plan to go west will be stranded,

The two women were still chatting, Wu Fang's mood was a little better at this time, but seeing Xiang Zhuang's frowning eyebrows and seeming to hesitate, Wu Fang's heart, which had just stabilized, became nervous again.

Seeing that Xiang Zhuang was silent for a long time, Wu Fang hurriedly got up and came to Xiang Zhuang's side, wanting to kneel down and plead with Xiang Zhuang, but Xiang Zhuang was held up with one hand and sighed: "Miss Fang doesn't have to be like this,"

Cao Feng also walked over and persuaded: "Brother Xiang Zhuang, you see how pitiful Miss Wu Fang is, you must help her,"

The pleading of the two women finally strengthened Xiang Zhuang's determination to go south, he looked back at the outside of the house, and shouted loudly: "Come here, invite Kong Ji, Han Xin, Ding Gu and others,"

Outside the door, I just remembered a "woo", and then I remembered Kong Ji's laughter: "Is the general looking for me?"

Soon, Kong Ji, Ding Gu, Han Xin, Liji, Lotte, Zhou Sheng and others walked in quickly, Xiang Zhuang was slightly surprised, how did these people come together, just when Xiang Zhuang's eyes wandered around everyone, he suddenly found that next to Ding Gu, there was another person, who was the general next to Xiang Yu, Zhong Li, Xiang Zhuang immediately smiled and said: "Brother Zhong Li, why are you here?"

Zhong Li's face was tired, but he didn't have time to rest, at this time, he saw Xiang Zhuang see him, and immediately took a step forward, took out the letter from his arms, and presented it with both hands, "I am ordered by General Xiang Yu to send a letter to you,"

Xiang Zhuang saw Zhong Liwu's tired face, and secretly guessed in his heart that he must have come day and night, and a bad thought ignited in Xiang Zhuang's heart, Anyang, something must have happened,

Xiang Zhuang hurriedly took the letter and read it, Xiang Yu said in the letter that he had killed Song Yi, seized the military power, and was ready to go north to avenge his uncle Xiang Liang, but he was afraid that 100,000 soldiers and horses were not enough to shake Zhang Han, and hoped that Xiang Zhuang would lead the army to the north to join the division, in addition, he hoped that Xiang Zhuang would give a letter to Xiang Bo, so that he could immediately deliver supplies and go north for reinforcements, and also hoped that Xiang Zhuang could allocate materials from Hengshan County to temporarily relieve the urgent need.

In the letter, Xiang Yu's tone could not be refused, and, judging from the urgency of Xiang Yu's letter, the Chu army had reached the point of life and death at this time, and winter was coming.

Moreover, once the Qin army sneaks south, the consequences are unimaginable, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang shook his head helplessly, since Xiang Yu has already seized the military power, why not return to the army immediately, take the Puyang Tun army, and then wait for the supplies, bring spring flowers, and then fight to the death with the Qin army,

But Xiang Zhuang knows Xiang Yu too well, since Xiang Yu has decided to fight Zhang Han in blood, he will not retreat until the last moment, thinking so, Xiang Zhuang handed the letter to Kong Ji and sighed: "Two things need to be done, first, prepare 30,000 sets of cotton robes and 30,000 loads of grain, and send them to Anyang immediately, and second, repair a book to the accountant, and let Uncle Xiang prepare materials to help Xiang Yu,"

Kong Ji was confused when he heard this, these military supplies should be prepared by King Huai, why Xiang Zhuang suddenly took over this errand, with doubts, Kong Ji quickly read the letter, and when he saw the end, he finally understood that Xiang Yu launched a mutiny in the army, at this time, the 100,000 army was already in the hands of Xiang Yu, and it became a real Xiang family army.

Now that this war has changed from the dispute between Qin and Chu to the war between the Xiang family and Zhang Han, Kong Ji knows that Xiang Zhuang can no longer sit idly by.

Thinking of this, Kong Ji nodded, and responded to Xiang Zhuang's order, and then asked: "How many soldiers and horses is the general going to bring to the north?"

Hearing that the division would go north, Wu Fang asked in a slightly anxious manner, "Isn't General Xiang Zhuang going south?"

The tears that had been stopped fell from Wu Fang's face again, usually dominating the field, the majestic female general was in front of Xiang Zhuang at this time, but she became a tearful person, Xiang Zhuang looked at it, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and sighed: "I will order someone to lead the army north, and what I promised you will not change,"

Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang looked at everyone and asked, "Who is willing to lead the army north and meet Xiang Yu,"

Leading the army north, this is about to start a war with the Qin army, many people are gearing up and eager to try, at this time, Han Xin walked out and arched his hand: "Since the general has something to do, he can't go north, I am willing to wait for the general and his party,"

"Let's go," Lotte arched his hand and smiled, and on the side, Ding Gu interjected: "I'm the deputy general here, don't fight, I'll go to the teacher, how,"

Everyone is fighting for me, but it is beyond Xiang Zhuang's expectations, but Han Xin is a famous general under Liu Bang in history, with great achievements, as the so-called 'Han Xin soldiers, the more the merrier', if Han Xin is released, I don't know how many variables there will be, Xiang Zhuang hesitated, his eyes began to fall to Ding Gu and Lotte, these two people are also his own henchmen, this time to the south, Xiang Zhuang no one is willing to let go, but Xiang Yu urged reinforcements, and he can't ignore it, Xiang Zhuang became hesitant,

Just when Xiang Zhuang was thinking about countermeasures in his heart, Han Xin gave up his hand again: "General, although there are 100,000 people in the northern expedition to Zhanghan, but Xiang Yu is violent by nature and not good at strategy, once he falls into a treacherous plan, the consequences are unimaginable, please let me go north,"

Han Xin's worries are also Xiang Zhuang's worries, if Xiang Yu wins, everything is easy to say, if Xiang Yu is defeated, the Chu State will face a catastrophe, and he, in Hengshan County, or the army retreats, how long can he last?

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang finally nodded approvingly, and ordered: "Okay, I'll give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, you and General Zhongli will lead the troops north tomorrow, bring supplies, don't delay,"

To be able to serve under the majestic Xiang Yu is Han Xinping's wish, at this time Xiang Zhuang ordered his own general, Han Xin was overjoyed, immediately stepped forward, and arched his hand: "The last general must live up to the general's expectations,"

Xiang Zhuang nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zhong Liwu again, and sighed bitterly: "You can tell Brother Yu, Zhang Han is by no means an idle person, don't underestimate Zhang Han, and when marching to fight, don't be irritable, don't kill in vain, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world,"

Zhong Liwu wrote them down one by one, and at this time, Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, take General Zhongli down to rest, prepare lunch, and treat him well,"

A personal entourage walked in, sang, and asked Zhong Liwu to clean up, Zhong Liwu also returned a gesture to Xiang Zhuang, and together with Han Xin, he left the guest hall.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sigh lightly, the beacon fire was about to ignite, the giant deer was fighting, and the world was in turmoil, although Xiang Zhuang had long known that this day would come sooner or later, and he couldn't avoid it, but this day really came, but Xiang Zhuang felt that his heart was so confused,

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to let Han Xin go, and whether Han Xin could really be appointed under Xiang Yu.

Thinking of Wu Rui's letter, Xiang Zhuang turned his head to look at Kong Ji and the others, and said helplessly: "Let's discuss the specific details of going south,"

After talking with everyone for nearly two hours, at this time, it was already noon, Cao Feng sent people to urge Xiang Zhuang to eat many times, Xiang Zhuang did not have time to pass, and finally waited for everyone to leave, Xiang Zhuang felt that he wanted to be quiet alone, just like that, Xiang Zhuang did not go to the side hall to eat, but sat on the table, unfolded a map, and looked at the map quietly, but his mind was empty, he didn't know what he was thinking about for so long,

Time passed minute by minute, and Xiang Zhuang's thoughts gradually returned to reality,

Xiang Zhuang pondered the history of this period, came to the Qin Dynasty for so long, the things learned in the previous history class have been forgotten, Xiang Yu pit killed and surrendered, the defeat should be, this is an indisputable fact, I don't know what I can do, even if I follow Xiang Yu's side, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change history, since Xiang Liang died, Xiang Zhuang has lost confidence in himself, perhaps, he should have his own territory, in that way, he can change history from the strength,

wants to base himself on this era, Xiang Zhuang knows very well in his heart that only by speaking with strength is the biggest capital.
