After the latest chapter of the late Qin Dynasty Xiangzhuang left Huaide County, along the straight road, to the west, about a day's journey, Xiang Zhuang rushed to Xia Tai County, rested overnight in Xia Tai County, crossed the Wei River, Xiang Zhuang came to Zheng County,

Zheng County is today's Huaxian area, at this time, Xiang Yu's vanguard troops have just traveled through Zheng County, and the main force is more than ten miles away from here.

A conversation with the baby strengthened Xiang Zhuang's determination to suppress Liu Bang, but how to fight Liu Bang, Xiang Zhuang has not yet decided in his heart, but the Hongmen banquet in history, stabbing Liu Bang to death with a sword, this is unrealistic, Xiang Zhuang is also very clear that history has taken a turn in his body, and he is no longer the reckless Xiang Zhuang who only knew how to fight on the battlefield, once the Hongmen banquet really arrived, Xiang Zhuang wanted to put Liu Bang to death in a new way,

After resting for a while on the plain east of Zheng County, one of the guards pointed into the distance and said urgently: "General, look there,"

Xiang Zhuang was interrupted by the guards to ponder, he got up and looked, not far away, on the wide gallop road, covered with dust, this is Xiang Yu's main force has arrived,

Lotte led the horse over and asked in a low voice, "Are we going to inform the general?"

"No," Xiang Zhuang decisively refused, he looked into the distance again, and ordered: "You go back to the formation directly, and they will meet Ding Gu, and I will go to see Xiang Yu alone,"

Lotte nodded, began to assemble people, Xiang Zhuang took the reins, wanted to turn over on the horse, but remembered Ying Liang who followed him this time, so he turned to look at Ying Liang, Ying Liang was not far from him at this time, he was feeding grass to the horses, Xiang Zhuang shouted: "Brother Ying Liang, you come here,"

Ying Liang heard Xiang Zhuang calling himself, he stopped his work, handed over the horse to one of Xiang Zhuang's personal guards, and then trotted over and asked with a smile: "General, what are you calling me?"

"Next time, don't call me a general, you can call me Brother Zhuang," Xiang Zhuang said with a smile.

"No, my father has instructed me to follow you well, and I will follow you with my heart, and I will call you a general like everyone else," Ying Liang was very stubborn, and Xiang Zhuang smiled helplessly, "Okay, I don't insist on this matter,"

After a pause, Xiang Zhuang said again: "I admire you for being able to come out of the shadow of the destruction of the Qin State, but you must remember that the Qin State has really perished, and it is impossible to come back from the dead, you have to adapt to the future situation, don't be extreme, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, general, I won't," Ying Liang nodded, Xiang Zhuang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Okay, I'm also official, I'll call you by your name in the future, Ying Liang, is it okay?"

Ying Liang nodded, Xiang Zhuang was very satisfied with Ying Liang, he was able to come out of the shadow of the destruction of the Qin State, and accept the reality, it was really not easy, Xiang Zhuang handed him an iron sword he carried, and said with a smile: "This is my portable sword, made of pure iron, give it to you, in addition, in the future, I will appoint you and Lotte as my personal captains, in charge of the personal guard battalion, you will talk to Lotte in a while,"

Ying Liang took the sword and arched his hand with a smile: "Willing to obey the general's orders,"

"Well, I'm going to see my brother Xiang Yu in a while, it's inconvenient for you to be there, I'll let Lotte take you back to the camp first, to get to know other people, I'll be back soon,"

Ying Liang nodded again, Xiang Zhuang didn't say much, he turned over on the horse, smiled and nodded to Ying Liang, this former old friend, Ying Ying's only son, Xiang Zhuang really can't bear to let him be on the front line, go into battle to kill the enemy, if Ying Liang dies again, the Ying clan is really going extinct,

After a short thought, Xiang Zhuang waved his horsewhip violently, turned his horse's head, and hurriedly ran towards the gallop in the distance.

,,,,,,

On the left and right flanks of the coalition army, there are Zhao troops pressing the formation, at this time, Xiang Zhuang must pass through the long Zhao army formation, and turn back for a while to reach Xiang Yu's Chinese army.

The ** generals will occasionally gather here, but today, these people have returned to their own formation, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng and others rode their horses slowly, at this time, a hurried soldier rode the horse and arched his hand in front of Xiang Yu's horse and said: "General, General Xiang Zhuang is back,"

Xiang Yu nodded, and left in a hurry, and soon, Xiang Zhuang came with ten guards on horseback, and arched his hand in front of Xiang Yu's horse and said, "I've seen the general,"

"Do you remember that I am a general, why don't you listen to the order and go north alone," Xiang Yu was slightly displeased, with reproach and doubt in his voice, and at this time, Fan Zeng also shook his head and sighed: "General Xiang Zhuang, marching and fighting, discipline is the best, and the general blames you for your good,"

Seeing Xiang Yu like this, Xiang Zhuang had to admit his mistake and said: "The last general failed to report to the general in time, please ask the general to punish the crime,"

Xiang Yu saw that Xiang Zhuang did not contradict himself, his anger in his heart calmed down a little, and the expression on his face eased a lot, in fact, this time Xiang Zhuang went north privately, and there was nothing, but since the incident of Anyang Confucianism, Xiang Yu found that he and Xiang Zhuang were no longer on the same line, and there were differences in ideas between the two, so Xiang Yu no longer trusted his brother as much as before.

Although most of the areas north of the Wei River are still in the hands of Sima Wei, Xiang Yu does not have absolute trust in Sima Wei, so Zhao Jun's control of there is not absolute.

Besides, this is his own brother Xiang Zhuang, if he changes to someone else, Xiang Yu will not hesitate, cut him with a knife, and order the army with a rank,

At this time, Xiang Yu's anger had calmed down a little, and Xiang Zhuang smiled on the horse: "Brother doesn't want to ask me, did you see anyone when I went north this time?"

"Oh, tell me, who is worth your rush to the north," Xiang Yu sneered angrily,

"It's a benefactor, a person who is kind to our Xiang family," Xiang Zhuang smiled back,

Hearing the word 'benefactor', Xiang Yu was stunned, he turned his head and stared at his younger brother for a long time before asking, "Who are you talking about?"

"The former imperial uncle, the later King of Qin Yingying," Xiang Zhuang did not shy away from saying Yingying's name, but Fan Zeng on the side was stunned: "He...... Haven't you been killed by Liu Bang?"

"No, Liu Bang left Ying Ying, and he wants to use Ying Ying to win the hearts of the people," Xiang Zhuang sneered, his purpose was to provoke a bigger contradiction between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang,

Fan Zeng had already planned to eradicate Liu Bang, and he also added on the side: "Liu Bang is treacherous and treacherous, from the matter of winning the baby, it can be seen that this person is very deep in the city,"

After hearing this, Xiang Yu snorted coldly: "I see him like an insect, just one finger, he will definitely become a powder,"

Stopped, Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Zhuang again and said in surprise: "What grievances do we have with Ying Ying, why do you say that he is a benefactor?"

"He once saved the life of the second uncle, if it wasn't for his help, it would be difficult for the second uncle to get out of Liyang Prison, so I said that he is the benefactor of our Xiang family," Xiang Zhuang replied, sighing lightly with a little sadness, recalling his uncle Xiang Liang, if it wasn't for the battle of Dingtao, he was sent to Hengshan County by his uncle, I'm afraid that my uncle may not die in Dingtao, if my uncle can survive, how can the Chu State at this time be separated,

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang stared at Xiang Yu with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "For the benefactor, my Xiang Zhuang will not treat him badly, I think, my brother has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and he will not act rashly,"

Xiang Zhuang's true purpose was finally revealed, he wanted to open a tuo for Ying Ying, hoping that Xiang Yu could let Ying Ying go, but Xiang Yu didn't care about Ying Ying at this time, since he had something to do with the Xiang family, Xiang Yu was not decisive, so he only laughed twice: "Since I have helped my uncle, why should I be embarrassed by him, besides, ......"

Speaking of this, Xiang Yu paused, paused for a while, and then continued: "Besides, Liu Bang has not killed him, so why should I risk the world?"

After Xiang Yu finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Xiang Yu refused to harm the baby, Xiang Zhuang would have the ability to keep the baby, at least, Xiang Zhuang knew that the coalition army was advancing westward, and Liu Bang had done nothing.

At this time, both of them fell silent, and soon, a scout galloped over, and said on the horse: "General, Zheng County has arrived, General Long and asked if you want to build a camp in Zheng County and rest for the night,"

Xiang Yu was interrupted by the scout, he stopped the black horse, set up his eyes on the horse, looked into the distance, a small county appeared not far away, Xiang Yu looked up at the sky again, it was already afternoon, he thought for a moment, and ordered loudly: "Inform all the ** generals, we will camp in Zheng County for the night,"

,,,,,,

Since the defeat of Xiahou Ying's army, he galloped back to Xianyang along the countryside, just arrived at the city, was stopped by the defenders, Xiahou Ying hurriedly took out the token, reprimanded: "Blind your dog eyes, I am Xiahou Ying, there is an urgent military request to see the lord, if you miss a big thing, be careful of your dog head,"

Seeing that Xiahou Ying was so anxious, a tun chief didn't dare to slack off, he immediately shouted: "Get out of the way and let General Xiahou enter the city,"

Passing through the long street, Xiahou Ying galloped to Xianyang Palace, in front of the palace gate, Xiahou Ying saw Fan Hao who was pacing back and forth, he couldn't help but be surprised, and shouted loudly: "General Fan, what are you doing here,"

"The lord is obsessed with beauties and refuses to go back to the camp, I'm very worried," Fan Xu also saw Xiahou Ying, he hurriedly greeted him, and when he got closer, Fan Xu suddenly remembered that Xiahou Ying should not be stationed in Hangu Pass, and then seeing him in embarrassment, Fan Hao faintly felt bad in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Shouldn't you be stationed in Hangu Pass?"

"Don't mention it, Xiang Yu led the coalition troops of various countries, as many as more than 200,000, broke through Hangu Pass, and has already killed Xianyang, I am escaping from death, and I am here to report that if the lord does not prepare in advance, Xiang Yu's army will kill, and we will all die here,"

"There is such a thing," Fan Xu listened, he was even more anxious, he looked up at the high jade steps and the towering palace, now where is Liu Bang willing to listen to his own opinions, even if Xiahou Ying enters the palace, I am afraid it will be difficult to see Liu Bang,

After thinking for a moment, Fan Hao pulled up Xiahou Ying and said hurriedly: "It's urgent, you go with me to find Zhang Liang, he must have a way to persuade the lord,"

"Xiang Yu's army didn't say casually, we should go to see the lord first," Xiahou Ying didn't understand Fan Xu's worries, but Fan Hao ignored Xiahou Ying, he used his right hand hard, and dragged Xiahou Ying to the outside of the palace, and said as he walked: "What do you see, if you can see the lord, why should I wander outside the palace,"

The two walked for a distance, Fan Hao waved into the distance, several soldiers led a few war horses, Fan Hao and Xiahou Ying took one by one, hurriedly got on the horse, and galloped away outside the palace
