Chapter 22: The Xianyang Turmoil (Part II)

After Xiang Zhuang said goodbye to the old man, he hurriedly left Xiaofeng, and under the guidance of the little Taoist, Xiang Zhuang came to the side hall of Zhongnan Mountain, where Xiang Zhuang saw Gui Yinghao, who was covered with scars.

Although the injury is very serious, but Gui Yinghao has been out of danger, and there is the careful care of the little Taoist priest in the temple, Gui Yinghao has nearly woken up at this time, he was recuperating in the bed //, heard faint footsteps, Gui Yinghao looked up, saw Xiang Zhuang walking slowly, his surprised eyes, more tears, after a long time, he choked and sighed: "General, brothers...... All dead. ”

He wanted to get up, but the injuries on his body were still very serious, Gui Yinghao struggled a few times, then gave up, Xiang Zhuang also stepped forward, pressed Gui Yinghao with his hand, and comforted: "Don't move, your injuries are not healed yet." ”

"I ......" Gui Yinghao choked up, and it took a long time before he sighed: "It was my light soldiers who rushed forward and were eager to seek merit, and I was guilty of causing the brothers to die in Qinling...... General, kill me, and have comforted the spirits of the brethren in heaven. ”

"Don't be stupid, if it were me, I would have followed the assassins." Xiang Zhuang gently patted Gui Yinghao on the shoulder, looked at the little Taoist priest on the side, and asked, "Can he leave?" ”

"Donor, his injuries are very serious, I suggest that you stay here for a few months to recuperate, and when his injuries are healed, we will let him leave on his own." The little Taoist priest bowed his hand, Xiang Zhuang nodded, he looked at Gui Yinghao again, and instructed: "Recuperate with peace of mind, those assassins, I already know who it is, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore." ”

Xiang Zhuang didn't blame himself, Gui Yinghao's heart swelled with a sour feeling, he held back his tears, and didn't let it fall, after a while, Gui Yinghao nodded: "General take care." ”

"Take care of your injuries, I'm in the army, waiting for your return!" Xiang Zhuang patted Gui Yinghao on the shoulder, turned around and left, on the side, Lotte glanced at Gui Yinghao and looked at him with encouraging eyes, Gui Yinghao was pale at this time, obviously very tired, with a light sigh, Lotte also left the side hall quickly.

With the team, Xiang Zhuang left Zhongnan Mountain, hurried to Lantian County, a day and a night of rapid march, Xiang Zhuang left Qinling, and then not far away, is Lantian, this is Liu Bang's jurisdiction, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiang Zhuang ordered people to go to Lantian County to prepare some rations, and everyone marched eastward.

On the west bank of the Bahe River, Xiang Zhuang saw the Chu army stationed here, and in the Chinese army, his own flag was hung high, and Xiang Zhuang was sure that this place must be the station of his own military camp.

Although he didn't know why the army was stationed here, Xiang Zhuang had a faint feeling in his heart.

He took everyone and hurried to the station, and when he was about to arrive at the camp, there were scouts who had already entered the camp to tell Kong Ji, Ding Gu and others, and everyone hurried to greet them, and met Xiang Zhuang outside the camp gate.

"Kong Ji failed to hold the camp, please punish the general." Kong Ji just met with Xiang Zhuang, so he walked forward quickly, knelt on the ground, and pleaded guilty, Xiang Zhuang was surprised, he looked at the camp not far away, the answer was already clear, here, I am afraid there are only more than 10,000 garrisons.

"Wu Rui, have you seized power?" Xiang Zhuang asked.

"Well......" Kong Ji nodded, Xiang Zhuang did not have any frustrated expression, in Zhongnan Mountain, this was already expected by Xiang Zhuang, he looked at everyone, and saw that everyone was safe and sound, and there was Ying Liang, Ying Xueyue stood in it, Xiang Zhuang was a little relieved, he let go of the displeasure in his heart, pointed to the camp and said: "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

Just crossed the gallop road and came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Ying Xueyue had already walked a few steps quickly, and said beside Xiang Zhuang: "General Zhuang, next time, don't take me away, okay?" ”

"But you didn't complete the task." Xiang Zhuang replied with a little joking, but Ying Xueyue was stunned, she looked at Xiang Zhuang for a long time, and said resolutely: "Next time, I will definitely complete the task." ”

"No, I want you to be safe." Xiang Zhuang suddenly changed his words, staring at Ying Xueyue, at this moment, the competitive spirit was gone, Ying Xueyue's eyes were slightly red, she bit her lower lip tightly, and nodded vigorously.

In the big tent, Xiang Zhuang summoned all the generals, except for Mei Kai and his subordinates, the rest of the people came, everyone gathered together, Xiang Zhuang sat on it, after everyone saluted, Kong Ji sighed: "Although the Poyang Army is not our descendant army, but for so long, the general led this army to go south and north, and it can be regarded as treating him well, but suddenly the military mutiny, I ...... in my heart."

Kong Ji didn't continue, but everyone knew what Kong Ji wanted to say later, but Xiang Zhuang didn't show any loss, he thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "This matter, don't mention it, as long as our army is here, my powerful bow array and cavalry, and the bravery of the infantry, I can still sweep the battlefield." ”

At this time, Xiang Zhuang's words changed and said: "Brother Xiang Yu, have you entered Xianyang?" ”

"Yes."

"How's the situation in Xianyang?"

"At present, I only know that the coalition forces have crossed the border, there is no piece of armor left, the head of Xianyang City is filled with gunsmoke, there are cries and begs for mercy everywhere, and the corpses all over the ground have turned into white bones, which is unbearable." It was Zhou Sheng who spoke, he was the internal historian and had a deep affection for the Xianyang area, and now, the old country has become a scorched earth, and Zhou Sheng is inevitably sad.

All this did not exceed Xiang Zhuang's expectations, the coalition army entered the city, it would inevitably get out of control, it was only hateful, he failed to say that he could move Xiang Yu, and he failed to change Xiang Yu, all of this was inevitable after all.

At the moment, everything is not the point, only if he rushes to Xianyang as soon as possible, before Xiang Yu is crowned king, he will recognize himself, and allocate Jiangdong land to himself is the most important.

After a short thought, Xiang Zhuang ordered: "Order the three armies, set off tomorrow and march to Xianyang, in addition, send someone to contact Huayu and let him do a good job of responding." ”

And they sang their promises, and went away.

……

Afang Palace, fearful is one of the more vast projects of the Qin State, after Qin Shi Huang and Qin II two generations of management, but due to the huge project, Afang Palace has not been completed so far.

At this time, there is only one front hall in the Afang Palace, which is located in the Shanglin Garden in the west of Xianyang, the palace is so large that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people in array, and at this time, nearly 150,000 conscripts are gathered here.

Many conscripts thought that this was Xiang Yu's mercy, and that after the coalition army invaded Xianyang, it would help them rehabilitate, and they could return to their homeland with peace of mind.

But the rumbling of drums and the sound of low trumpets made the servants realize that they seemed to be sacrifices.

Not far away, more than 100,000 Chu troops formed an array, and the Chu flag was fierce, swaying with the wind.

Shouts, cheers rang out, they will be surrounded by the huge Afang Palace, after a long time, Xiang Yu accompanied by the generals, riding a horse, on the horse, Xiang Yu with his right hand to his chest, shouted: "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!" ”

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!"

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!"

“……”

These people are shouting, this prophecy is the last sentence left when Xiang Yan died in battle, and it is also a scar that Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang can never erase in their hearts.

But now, Xiang Yu relied on his strength to overthrow the crumbling Qin State, and the oath of the year became a reality, Xiang Yu had to take practical action to prove that his grandfather Xiang Yan's words were right.

After the drum rumbled and beat three rounds, the Chu army began to light the torches, and at this time, Ji Bu came to Xiang Yu's side on horseback, and said on the horse: "General, Qingzhuang was indeed recruited by Liu Bang!" Many of the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled! ”

Xiang Yu nodded, he didn't say anything more, Liu Bang had become a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, just because at the Hongmen banquet that day, he promised to let him live, and he should not suddenly rebel at this time, so he had to endure it for the time being.

But the vast Afang Palace must be destroyed by itself.

The war drums rumbled again, Xiang Yu waved his right hand on the horse, and the Chu soldiers who were carrying the wood shouted and rushed towards Afang Palace.

About a day passed, the sun was shining, many places of Afang Palace were destroyed, the palace collapsed, and bursts of dust were rolled up. ”

"The general has an order, set fire!"

"Woohoo"

The low sound of the horn sounded slowly, and the soldiers of the Chu army waved torches and rushed towards Afang Palace, throwing torches to all corners, accompanied by the hay that had already been piled up, Afang Palace ignited a raging fire.

Those who were gathered in the Afang Palace// realized that death was coming, they fled for their lives, but were shot back to the main hall by the merciless rain of arrows of the Chu army, just like that, nearly 150,000 conscripts died in the fire, and at night, the west of Xianyang City was as bright as day, and the fire of Afang Palace was still burning.

This fire lasted for half a month.

……

The Guanzhong Rebellion was only the beginning, but a large number of displaced people had already escaped from Hangu Pass, Wuguan and so on, wandering eastward.

In Pengcheng, in the side hall of the Chu Palace, Qi Xin and Chen Ying sat opposite each other, and each of them had a cup of tea in front of them, but at this time, both of them had no intention of tasting tea, only bowing their heads and contemplating something.

I don't know how long passed, and his heart finally woke up from his contemplation, he sighed lightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip slowly, and then asked, "What is the situation?" ”

"The dragon enters the abyss, and the bird goes to the sky, it is difficult...... It's hard to ......," Chen Ying sighed.

"Why do you say that?" Although he knew very well in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, Chen Ying did not shy away from it, and replied bluntly: "The coalition armies of various countries have risen separately, and Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, Liu Bang and others have entered the Guanzhong, the situation is difficult to control, the royal power is hollowed out, the king thinks, can everything be recovered?" ”

"Alas......" Qian Xin sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, got up and walked two steps in the hall, and sighed: "Qin is not dead, Chu is in danger, Qin is dead, Chu is also dead!" How hard is it to be a human being? ”

"King, in the current situation, you should follow Xiang Yu, don't be hostile to him, otherwise you will ......" Chen Ying shook his head and sighed, but his heart was slightly displeased, and he hated: "Xiang Yu's husband, I swear to kill him!" ”

Just as the words of the heart of the heart fell, a person hurriedly walked in, arched his hand in front of the heart of the heart and said: "King, Xiang Yu's general Xiao Gongjiao, ask to see you outside the palace." ”
