Chapter 02: Return to Koto Again
The atmosphere in the guest hall plummeted, except for Ying Liang and Kong Ji, no one knew what Xiang Zhuang's so-called war meant.
The world was initially decided, although the heroes were divided, each according to one side, sooner or later they would fight together, but no one would have thought that the war would start soon, let alone know that Xiang Zhuang's so-called war coincided, and it was Xiang Yu's fief in Nanjun, could it be that Xiang Yu would be the first to destroy himself?
Gong Ao thought of Xiang Yu, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his back, if Xiang Yu raised troops to attack, he would not be an opponent at all, and although Xiang Zhuang was in the east, could he fall out with Xiang Yu for himself,
Gong Ao didn't have a definite answer, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and after a short thought, Gong Ao asked slightly depressedly: "Is the king of Eastern Chu referring to ...... Is the overlord of Western Chu,"
The overlord of Western Chu naturally refers to Xiang Yu, which is the title he gave himself, but Xiang Zhuang saw that Gongao misunderstood, and couldn't help laughing: "No, I'm talking about Liu Bang,"
"Liu Bang," as if to verify that he had heard correctly, Gong Ao bowed forward slightly, and said, "You mean, Liu Bang in Hanzhong,"
"Well," Xiang Zhuang nodded, as if he saw Gongao's incomprehension, and Xiang Zhuang said: "If Liu Bang wants to get out of Hanzhong, it's just a matter of time,"
"I heard that Liu Bang has self-destructed the plank road, can he still come out," Gong Ao was still puzzled, Xiang Zhuang had put down the teacup, got up and said with a smile: "If you want to get out of Hanzhong, you can go to Hanshui, enter Nanjun, or you can go to Chencang, enter Guanzhong, in short, he will definitely come out, and, with my understanding of Liu Bang, no one in Guanzhong is his opponent, so I want you to be prepared in advance, don't be attacked by Liu Bang Dengxian,"
"King of Eastern Chu, please rest assured, I will be near Deng County and add more defenders,"
"It's not enough to just increase the defenders, I want to help you, let you build three pontoon bridges east of Deng County, I will prepare the specific construction methods and labor for you, you just need to build it," Xiang Zhuang said decisively, on the side, the lieutenant asked in a little surprise: "With the bridge, the enemy army can easily enter the country, we can't prevent it, this can not be helped,"
Seeing that his son refused so bluntly, Gong Ao glanced at him, Gong Ao immediately bowed his head and was silent, no longer speaking, at this time, Gong Ao arched his hand and asked: "Please also ask the King of Eastern Chu to make it clear,"
"Although it is convenient for the enemy to enter the country, but in the same way, our army will rush to the aid of Nanyang, it will also be convenient, Nanyang will not be lost, Nanjun is still safe, if Nanyang is lost, can Nanjun only rely on the Han River to defend the mainland," Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang walked a few steps in the house, and said: "Besides, with these three bridges, I can take advantage of the emptiness in Guanzhong to surprise attack Guanzhong, do you understand?"
"Hahaha, I understand, King of Eastern Chu, please rest assured, I will deal with this matter, but I don't know how the King of Eastern Chu is going to reinforce me,"
"I will give you 20,000 conscripts to help you build the bridge,"
……
The mighty fleet marched in the Yangtze River, and after bidding farewell to Gongao, Xiang Zhuang took the warship of Jiangling, slowly went south, and the next stop, Xiang Zhuang must visit Wu Rui before returning to Jiangdong,
After all, the handover of the two sides, many things need to be busy, besides, Xiang Yu has promised himself the marriage of the Wu family, when to get married, what position the Wu family will be in, these must be communicated with Wu Rui, so that he can be reassured, besides, Jiujiang County is pained by Huang Bu, if he offends the Wu family, it is equivalent to separating Jiangdong and Jiangbei, and Dongchu and Xichu will break off contact, this is not the result that Xiang Yu and himself want to see,
Although Wu Rui skillfully seized the power of the army and almost killed Gui Yinghao and other scouts in Qinling, which made Xiang Zhuang feel uncomfortable, but in troubled times, many things were involuntarily.
Thinking back to this entry, maybe they can meet every day, and the relationship between himself and Ying Xueyue is getting closer and closer, and Kong Xiuyun, Cao Feng and others, who he once loved deeply, are gradually alienated, which also makes Xiang Zhuang feel a little guilty.
But the world is like this, Wu Rui's actions also made Xiang Zhuang somewhat evasive of Wu Fang, but now, Xiang Zhuang had to put Wu Fang in the position of queen and alienate Kong Xiuyun, and it would not be easy to win Xueyue, and Cao Feng, suddenly, another name flashed from Xiang Zhuang's mind, she is 'Xiaolian',
The maid of the Confucian Mansion, just because of her own words, she has to read and learn words, this smart and clever girl, Xiang Zhuang really has a good impression of her, and the joy of returning to Jiangdong reminds him of many people, including the Yu E who broke his brother Xiang Yu's liver and intestines, and never forgets it.
The sailing warship crossed the watershed of the Yangtze River and began to march northward, when the crew shouted on the deck: "Shaxian River Port is about to ......"
The deck began to be busy, groups of cavalry led horses, began to assemble on the deck, the preparations before landing made people busy, Xiang Zhuang was also interrupted by noisy footsteps, those miscellaneous thoughts were left behind, he looked up into the distance, the breeze blew across the river, with a wave of dampness, very cold,
Soon, Kong Ji and Ying Liang, Gui Yinghao and others hurried over, in Kong Ji's hands, leading the majestic Guanzhong horse, Xiang Zhuang turned around and took the reins, and touched the mane of the war horse with his hand, at this time, someone shouted: "There is a ship coming ahead, under the banner of the Hengshan Army,"
After Xiang Zhuang listened, he handed the reins to a personal soldier, and then walked quickly to the lookout, looked into the distance, and sure enough, there were three warships of different sizes sailing by, not waiting for the warship to approach, Xiang Zhuang had seen that Wu Fang, who was dressed in black armor in front of the warship, held a sword in her right hand, and was still the same as before, looking at her, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, this stupid girl, against such a cold weather, came to the river port to greet herself, how much still moved Xiang Zhuang,
Soon, the two boats got closer, the boats were connected to each other, opposite, Wu Fang, accompanied by Mei Kai, came to Xiangzhuang's handsome boat, Wu Fang just stepped on the boat, saw Xiang Zhuang in a white coat, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hey, why didn't that Guanzhong woman go with her?"
This sentence was clearly rushed to win Xueyue, which made Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised, when Guanzhong, he didn't meet Wu Fang, how did she know about Ying Xueyue,
But Xiang Zhuang didn't show his puzzlement on his face, he greeted him with a smile and patted Wu Fang on the shoulder, "Silly girl, why are you here?"
"I heard Sister Cao Feng say, there is an extra Guanzhong woman by your side, I came to take a look," Wu Fang looked jealous, her eyes glanced behind Xiang Zhuang, except for a few of Xiang Zhuang's ministers and generals, there was no one else, she was surprised again: "I still want to get to know her, why don't you let her come with me,"
Wu Fang would take such a move, to make Xiang Zhuang unexpected, he didn't expect that he would not see Wu Fang for a year, Wu Fang would become like this, although he was somewhat unhappy in his heart, but Xiang Zhuang knew that he was burdened with too many emotional debts, and there were too many women, so it was inevitable that there would be bumps and bumps, so he had to change the topic and said: "Is Cao Feng there with you?"
"I've been here a few days ago, I've stayed here for a few days, and I've already returned to Jiangdong," Wu Fang said lightly.
"Didn't she go with the main force,"
"Nope,"
Wu Fang no longer has the enthusiasm of the year, maybe he is angry, maybe he is about to get married, the original relationship no longer exists, Xiang Zhuang had to smile and say: "Then let's go to Yi County together,"
He looked at Ying Liang on the side again, and ordered: "Order, sail the boat,"
The deck between the two ships was removed, and the big ship moved slowly again, at this time, Xiang Zhuang untied the big drumpet from his body, draped it on Wu Fang's body, and said softly: "It's time for the wind to pick up in a while, the river is cold, you don't have to come here to pick me up next time,"
Maybe it was moved, Wu Fang's eyes were slightly red, and he slowly leaned into Xiang Zhuang's arms, completely losing the domineering appearance just now, and after a long time, he whispered: "Promise me, never leave me,"
"Silly girl, how could I,"
……
For more than an hour, along the east wind, dozens of warships came to the Shaxian River Port, Wu Rui, Li Ji and others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the ships starting to shore up, Li Ji smiled and pointed forward and said, "My general is here,"
The county government, Xiang Zhuang and Wu Rui saluted, sat down as the guest and the host, Wu Rui sighed, for three years, Jiangdong changed hands, and even he became the king of Hengshan, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing back, at this time, Wu Rui asked, will the dispute between Chu and Han really break out, Xiang Zhuang pretended not to know, asked why he asked, Wu Rui said with a smile, such as today, Chu and Han are the strongest, and the rest of the princes and small countries are vulnerable, Xiang Zhuang saw Wu Rui's eyes vicious, and told her that the war would start, and he would participate in this war in the future, Wu Rui nodded,
Wu Rui's questioning was mainly to hook up the marriage between Xiang Zhuang and Wu Fang, which could not be hidden from Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang smiled and told Wu Rui that the Xiang family's promise would not be broken, but he had a request, Wu Rui was surprised, and inquired and learned that Xiang Zhuang would be the same day, the daughter of Nakong Kui and the daughter of Cao Wuyi were concubines, Wu Rui was stunned, but he quickly praised Xiang Zhuang, rich and noble do not forget the chaff, he is a man who can entrust his daughter,
At night, Liji was reporting the situation to Xiang Zhuang, and the weapons had been transferred, but in order to cover up and not let Wu Rui feel that the Xiang family was deliberately concealing, he left some weapons and transferred the conscription to Huiji, I heard that Xiang Yu had been allocated 50,000 conscription, and the rest of the conscription had been detained, waiting for Xiang Zhuang to go back to deal with it, Xiang Zhuang nodded,
This time Xiang Zhuang left, he didn't take Wu Fang with him, he and Wu Rui had agreed to marry Wu Fang half a month later, Wu Rui sighed, although the marriage of the third daughter was not successful, but the second daughter had found a good home.
Dantu River Port, there has been a large army waiting here for a long time, as the leader, is the county guard Cao Wujiao, behind him, is his daughter Cao Feng, Changshi Kong Kun and Du Wei Xiang Xiang, as well as Cao Wuxian, who rushed back not long ago, everyone has arrived at the river port, Xiang Zhuang got off the boat, and everyone saluted one by one, and the large army slowly went to the county office,
The government office, Kong Kun proposed, near Wucheng to establish the Eastern Chu Palace, everyone pondered for a moment, and agreed, Xiang Zhuang did not want to rush to build the capital at this time, the battle between Chu and Han is about to start, who can occupy the foothold, who can survive, he said his thoughts, the strength of Chu and Han is not far apart, Liu Bang entered the Han Dynasty, took away nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin Dynasty, 200,000 soldiers and horses, increased troops in the land of Shu Han, Liu Bangtun 300,000 soldiers, definitely not a problem, Xiang Yu originally had 400,000 soldiers and horses, but that was only the coalition army at that time, and now, Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses will not exceed 200,000, the disparity in strength, I am afraid that the battle between Chu and Han is coming, and at present, Jiangdong's defense is the first priority.
But Kong Kun strongly opposed, Cao Wuyi did not agree, there is no capital, there is no Eastern Chu regime, where to defend the people, where to come from the people's hearts, how to serve the death, in the end, Xiang Zhuang agreed, first of all, to the total of 20,000 people, to build three bridges, to allocate 20,000 people, to build a palace, to allocate 20,000 people, on the south bank of the Yangtze River to build ten defensive docks, the remaining 40,000 people, between Zhangjun and Poyang, open up a gallop road that can be six horses in parallel, the army galloped back and forth, one by one, Xiang Zhuang was slightly tired, everyone also retreated, Only Cao Feng stayed in the house and refused to leave,
