Chapter 01: Goodbye to the Dead



The sun was quietly setting from the west, and in the dusk that should have been calm, the Chu army was very busy on the Hangu Pass, and some of the sergeants who tried to resist Xiang Yu's entry were taken to the open mountains, complaining, scolding, and wailing endlessly, and no one knew what their fate would be.

Perhaps, stationed at Hangu Pass and guarding Xiang Yu's westward march was Liu Bang's most wrong choice, and now that the Qin State had just been destroyed, the first civil war of the Chu State kicked off on the Hangu Pass.

Both sides had different degrees of casualties, but Liu Bang's army suffered the most casualties, and Xiahou Ying couldn't hold the pass, so he had to lead some soldiers and hurriedly flee from Hangu Pass.

At this time, the door was wide open, the rumbling drum was still beating non-stop, a captain galloped out of the gate, galloped all the way, and soon came to Xiang Yu's horse, the captain stretched out his hand to Hangu Pass, as if he was reporting something to Xiang Yu, and soon, Xiang Yu raised his hand forward and shouted: "Enter the pass!" ”

The Chu army, the Zhao army, the Qi army and the Yan army all straightened their armor, lined up neatly, and slowly marched towards Hangu Pass.

The night was very cold, and the soldiers of the Chu army under Liu Bang were already hungry, but they were strictly controlled by Xiang Yu's army, and they could not have half a point of freedom, and it was useless to complain.

Although they are all Chu troops, they have obvious camp differences, Liu Bang's Chu army robes have been mainly red and black, while Xiang Yu's Chu army is purple and red, as long as you carefully identify, it is easy to distinguish the two armies.

Just when everyone was sitting on the ground in despair and decadence, suddenly, a general's shout sounded from a distance: "General to ......"

Soon, Xiang Yu walked quickly with Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Bo, Long Ji, Yu Ziqi, Fan Zeng, Tian Du, Zhang Er and other Wenchen generals, looking at Liu Bangjun who had just resisted his own entry, Xiang Yu was furious and said: "Just a pawn, do you dare to block my determination to enter the customs?" ”

A thousand elders walked out of the crowd, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiang Yu, and arched his hand: "We are just following orders, and I hope that there are a large number of generals, and many of our soldiers are still hungry, you see ......"

Qian Chang didn't dare to continue, he only looked up at Xiang Yu, hoping that Xiang Yu could give everyone a way to live, but Xiang Yu said in a cold tone: "I will reward you with food, but you can eat this meal until you die!" ”

After speaking, Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed, and many people also laughed, at this time, Xiang Zhuang sighed beside him: "Brother, leave these people to me!" ”

Xiang Zhuang's request again completely angered Xiang Yu, he suddenly looked at Xiang Zhuang coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "No! ”

This time, Xiang Yu would never agree to Xiang Zhuang again, he looked at Liu Bangjun who was sitting or lying down, and ordered coldly: "Bury them all alive and let them eat enough underground!" ”

With a rush of footsteps, Xiang Yu turned to leave, and in an instant, the cries and scoldings of Liu Bangjun's soldiers broke out in the mountains and fields, despair, filling everyone's hearts.

。。。。。。

After staying in Hangu Pass for two days, Xiang Yu once again ordered to go west, with Yu Zi and Zhong Liwu as the vanguard, heading westward, while Xiang Bo and his son were responsible for transporting grain and grass and collecting grain from Ao Cang to the west.

This time, Xiang Yu has thoroughly seen through Liu Bang's ambitions, perhaps, the original attack on Hangu Pass, it was just Xiang Yu's momentary anger, but this time, Xiang Yu after a night of careful consideration, he came to a conclusion that Liu Bang's stubborn defense of Hangu Pass is definitely not an accidental factor, the reason, it is very likely, Liu Bang wants to monopolize Guanzhong.

Although King Huai had promised that the first person to get Guanzhong could be the king of Qin, but even so, Liu Bang should not refuse to enter the customs by himself, abandon everything, and monopolize Guanzhong, and on this alone, he could overthrow Liu Bang's King of Qin.

Thinking so, Xiang Yu quickened his march, rode his horse through the long line, and only after running hundreds of steps away did Xiang Yu gradually slow down his horse's speed.

At this time, the 240,000 Chu army marched westward, and the momentum was so great, they marched rapidly along the south bank of the Wei River with a long snake formation.

Soon, everyone had to catch up with Xiang Yu and walk side by side with him, although everyone was silent, but during this time, the generals of the coalition forces were no longer afraid of Xiang Yu, at least, they had caught Xiang Yu's pulse at this time, and they knew that as long as they did not disobey Xiang Yu, they would not offend Xiang Yu.

After walking for a while, Tian Du sighed beside Xiang Yu: "Liu Bang stuck to Hangu Pass this time and refused to move westward of the coalition army, this move is too rude, the general is going west, and Liu Bang must not be tolerated, otherwise, he will become a trouble in the future." ”

Zang Di also sneered on the side: "Yes, if we hadn't contained Zhang Han in the north, would he Liu Bang be able to enter the customs so easily?" The villain has the ambition, once he occupies the center, does he want to take the credit alone? ”

"What everyone said makes sense, in this matter, I also think that Liu Bang's heart is not right, and the general must be guarded against." Fan Zeng said on the side.

Xiang Yu, who was already dissatisfied with Liu Bang, listened to everyone's discussions, and he was even more angry in his heart, if it wasn't for Liu Bang blocking Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu would not have advanced to Xianyang so anxiously at this time, thinking of this, Xiang Yu turned around and looked at Long Ji, and asked, "What about Zhuang'er?" ”

"I heard he's back to his roots." The dragon replied.

I wanted to listen to Xiang Zhuang's opinion, but I couldn't see Xiang Zhuang at this time, Xiang Yu had to bow his head and ponder again, and the team went for a while, Xiang Yu looked up at everyone, and said hatefully: "If Liu Bang is called Wang Guanzhong, you and I are ordinary heroes, what will be the title?" Could it be that we are desperate to fight the battlefield and have to be a marquis? ”

Xiang Yu's words have touched the hearts of many people, if it is just a futile effort, then what is the point of everyone going west? This kind of thing can only depend on Xiang Yu's attitude.

But at this time, Xiang Yu personally expressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and everyone knew very well that Xiang Yu was going to attack Liu Bang.

Among them, especially Fan Zeng is the most worried, he has seen Liu Bang's true character a year ago, but at that time, Fan Zeng did not put Liu Bang in his heart, after all, at that time, Liu Bang was only a small role, but now, Liu Bang soldiers entered the customs, and dared to fight against Xiang Yu with a weak division, so today's Liu Bang is no longer the small pavilion chief he once was.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Zeng sighed: "General, I still say the same thing, Liu Bang is treacherous and treacherous, and he can't stay!" ”

"I have written down the words of my father." Xiang Yu responded and stopped talking.

At this time, Xiang Yu had already seen from everyone's expressions that as long as he was willing to overthrow Liu Bang, he would definitely be able to get everyone's response, and with everyone's support, Xiang Yu was full of confidence in his heart.

After walking some distance, a hurried soldier rushed over, and when he was near, the hurried pawn arched his hand and said, "General, General Sima Wei is here." ”

As soon as the words of the hurried pawn fell, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, rolling up the dust, a cavalry team walked through the team, and soon, this team came to Xiang Yu, the first general, wearing a cyan robe, he was the general of Zhao State, Sima Wei, at this time Sima Wei had turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand in front of Xiang Yu: "I have seen the general." ”

"General Sima has worked hard all the way west." Xiang Yu raised his hand upwards and motioned for Sima Wei to get up, Sima Wei saluted Xiang Yu again, then got up and got on the horse, followed by Xiang Yu, and the team continued to move forward slowly.

After walking a distance, Sima Wei arched his hand on the horse and smiled: "Since the westward advance, our army crossed the river from Puban, although it encountered the resistance of the main force of the Qin army, but it did not encounter too many battles along the way, and it was quite smooth. ”

"Since you have been so smooth all the way, why did Liu Bang take Xianyang first?" Xiang Yu was interrupted by Sima Wei's contemplation, he asked unhappily, this sentence is like a heavy punch, hitting Sima Wei's heart, this is also Sima Wei's most worried place, since entering the Hedong, after several months of fierce battles there, he had to cross the Yellow River and advance to Guanzhong, but Guanzhong is not as fragile as Sima Wei imagined, almost one step at a time, besides, Guanzhong is mountainous and difficult to travel, so that Sima Wei is finally slow behind Liu Bang.

I wanted to avoid the important and not mention the matter, but Xiang Yu wanted to ask, Sima Wei was a little worried in his heart, so he had to give up his hand and say: "The last general is not effective, and the general forgives his sins." ”

Xiang Yu didn't mean to blame Sima Wei, seeing him frightened at this time, Xiang Yu had to sigh lightly, he was dissatisfied with Liu Bang, but inadvertently, he sent his anger on Sima Wei, thinking of this, Xiang Yu patted Sima Wei twice on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you for this matter." ”

"Thank you, General." Sima Wei arched his hand on the horse, but his expression was slightly hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he refused to speak, Xiang Yu saw that Sima Wei's expression was different, and said with a wry smile: "If there is anything else, you might as well say it directly." ”

Seeing Xiang Yu take the initiative to ask, Sima Wei plucked up his courage and said: "General, I have to wait for a scout to report on the way here, last night, General Xiang Zhuang led more than 100 horsemen to hurriedly cross the Wei River and went north, I don't know where to go, I didn't want to say anything about this matter, but General Xiang Zhuang went north at this time, I don't know what the so-called thing is, so I ...... it."

Sima Wei didn't continue, Xiang Yu waved his hand helplessly at this time, signaling Sima Wei not to say any more, pondering for a moment, Xiang Yu ordered the team to speed up.

Xiang Yu can feel that his younger brother Xiang Zhuang is becoming more and more difficult to understand, he began to distrust Xiang Zhuang, starting from the Anyang pit, between Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, began to have differences, this difference is getting bigger and bigger, perhaps, he and Xiang Zhuang are already two parallel people, thinking of this, Xiang Yu had to sigh lightly: "Let him go." ”

。。。。。。

North of the Wei River, south of Huaide County, a cavalry team of more than 100 people galloped on the straight road, since yesterday after receiving Huayu's secret letter, Xiang Zhuang hurriedly left the army, crossed the river and went north.

About half an hour later, Xiang Zhuang's team came to Huaide County, the garrison sergeant was just about to interrogate, Lotte rode out of the horse, and informed the defenders that Xiang Zhuang had something important to enter the city, the defenders did not dare to stop it, so they had to let go, Xiang Zhuang walked a few streets, and after meeting with a mysterious person, he came to a tavern, entered a single room, and Xiang Zhuang saw the long-awaited Ying Ziying.
