It's different from what it used to be. Xiang Zhuang after returning to Wu County. He didn't go to send Ying Xueyue in person. Instead, let Ying Liang lead a hundred troops. Escort Ying Xueyue back to Ying Ziying's mansion. And he hurriedly returned to the Dongchu Palace.

The side hall of the palace of the king of Eastern Chu. A large sand table is placed in the center of the main hall. This sand table is much larger than the sand table used by Xiang Zhuang to go out on the march. And. This sand table includes the entire geography of the Central Plains. Although it is impossible to say that it is 100% the same. But basically the route of the march. The location of the city is already very similar to the geographical topography. At this time, Xiang Zhuang had just returned. Then he hurried to the side hall. and ordered them to gather Congi. Ding Gu and other ordinary generals came to the meeting.

The crowd has not yet arrived. Xiang Zhuang was already pacing back and forth in front of the sand table. This time the battle is important. Xiang Zhuang knows. If you can defeat Liu Bang or drive him back to Hanzhong before he can completely get out of Hanzhong. Then the pace of history will change. And the Chu-Han rivalry will disappear from history. That's it. Liu Bang will be completely intercepted in Hanzhong. And the power of Guanzhong Yongguo is getting stronger and stronger. gradually suppressed Liu Bang. He can lead his army into Ba County. completely slapped Liu Bang to death on the stage of history.

Of course. This is just Xiang Zhuang's personal thoughts. It's just an idea. And the real battle situation. Exactly how it will be deployed is another matter.

And another problem that distressed Xiang Zhuang appeared. At this time, Koto had just stabilized. The deployment of the army is relatively scattered. Many wardocks require a lot of troops. As a result, Xiang Zhuang currently has only 50,000 troops at his disposal. And the dispatch of Gui Yinghao to garrison Wu County is very important.

But if there are only 50,000 soldiers. wants to suppress the Han army, which has more than 200,000 troops. How difficult. Although there is still Zhang Han in Guanzhong. Sima Xin and Dong Yi are three kingdoms. There is also a Gongao in Nanjun that can transfer some troops. But the ** teams are united. Each has its own different minds. Xiang Zhuang didn't know. In the end, whether the most effective combat effectiveness can be achieved. Moreover. Zhang Han. Whether Sima Xin and Dong Yi and others are willing to fully cooperate with them.

Judging from Zhang Han's order for his son to send an envoy to Jiangdong. He shouldn't have a different heart. But Sima Xin and Dong Yi are a different story.

And Xiang Zhuang was thinking about it. Outside the temple. Hurried footsteps rang out. Soon. Cao Feng's figure appeared outside the hall. This time we traveled west to Poyang. Xiang Zhuang deliberately left her behind. Cao Feng knew. Xiang Zhuang must have left with Ying Xueyue. And today the troops have just returned. Cao Feng heard a stream of gossip. More and faster chapters are here. Many people are talking about Xiang Zhuang going west with Ying Xueyue behind their backs. There are also people who have private discussions behind their backs. Win Xueyue may be able to overwhelm the crowd. Become the future queen of the Eastern Chu Kingdom.

This kind of discussion only exists within the scope of some small soldiers and young generals. But Cao Feng had already heard about it. Then Wu Fang. Kong Xiuyun. Won't they hear about it? Cao Feng seemed to smell a smell of gunpowder from this matter. I'm afraid the struggle in the harem is about to begin.

Just when Cao Feng came to Xiang Zhuang's side. When you want to speak. Xiang Zhuang had already spoken: "You came quickly." ”

Xiang Zhuang did not look back. and recognized himself. Cao Feng was shocked. But it didn't take long for her to realize. Xiang Zhuang has himself in his heart. I heard my footsteps so quickly. She couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. The dissatisfaction with Xiang Zhuang just now has long been thrown out of the clouds. At this point she took a few more steps forward. Come to Xiang Zhuang's side. Slightly helplessly complained: "The king is heading west this time. How the harvest is. ”

"Well...... Harvest. Xiang Zhuang was slightly surprised. He put his thoughts away. looked at Cao Feng, who was full of jealousy on the side. That's how I got it. Probably. The question appeared on Ying Xueyue.

"Did you hear any rumors in the army?" Xiang Zhuang deliberately lengthened his voice. Rhetorical question. Cao Feng pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the king has done something in the past few days?" ”

This sentence immediately made Xiang Zhuang silent. He didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer. had to put it another way: "There is a change in the pass." I may have to prepare these days. The handsome army went on the march. ”

"Is it so urgent. More and faster chapters are here. Cao Feng was stunned. She originally wanted to use a little more Xiang Zhuang. But the imminent expedition made Cao Feng like a thunderbolt. She looked at Xiang Zhuang blankly. Soon. She was relieved again. No matter where Xiang Zhuang is going. After all, he is a tiger general. There were already 3,000 female soldiers under his command. It was recruited not long ago. If the army is on an expedition. You can also follow Xiang Zhuang yourself.

Come to think of this. Cao Feng couldn't help but smile slyly: "I'll go and prepare." When are we going to go? ”

"You ......" Xiang Zhuang was made to laugh and cry by Cao Feng's actions. I had to shake my head helplessly: "I haven't decided yet." You train your female soldiers first. Don't go to war. All scared away. ”

"Not really." Cao Feng puffed out his cheeks and said, "My female soldier." Definitely not inferior to the male soldiers of other battalions. Update as soon as possible, just wait and see. ”

Cao Feng arched his hand. Turned and left. Look at her back. Xiang Zhuang shook his head helplessly. Then. Ying Liang walked quickly into the main hall. He arched his hand and said, "The king." Dinggu: They're coming. Waiting outside the temple. ”

"Let them all come in."

……

At this time, the Confucian Mansion had moved to the north of the city. There is a very luxurious house here. It covers an area of 100 acres. And. It is backed by a small river. The scenery is beautiful.

Kong Ji has been returning to Wu County with Xiang Zhuang since then. He hurried to the Confucian Mansion. Today is the day of the holiday. Kong carp happened to be recuperating at home. Kongi had just returned home. I went to see my father, Kong Kui. The two sat opposite each other in the back office. A maid brought tea. The first update hurriedly retreated. At this time, the house is quiet.

"Are you sure that Xiang Zhuang is going to the west?" Kong Kui's voice is slightly vicissitudes. In the past two years, he has not been in good health. There was nothing serious about it though. But the little problems that have been tossed and turned are not something he can endure at his age. At this time, Kong Ji told Kong Kun about the westward journey. Kong Kui was very surprised. Dongchu had just been founded not long ago. Political turmoil. The state also did not have the capacity to conquer everywhere. Moreover, a war between Eastern Chu and Eastern Vietnam. It has consumed most of the tax revenue of the Eastern Chu State for half a year. If Xiang Zhuang starts a war again. The Eastern Chu Kingdom is worried.

Moreover. Dispatch troops to the pass. One is whether Zhang Han is willing to pass the Eastern Chu soldiers. And once Dongchu drove Liu Bang away. Stabilized Guanzhong. It's thousands of miles away. What are the benefits for Xiang Zhuang. More and faster chapters are here.

Kong Ji was also not very in favor of Xiang Zhuang sending troops at this time. That's why I hurried back to counsel with my father. This news was far more shocking to Kong Kun than Xiang Zhuang taking Ying Xueyue to the west. At this point, both father and son were silent. Good for a while. Kong Jicai said softly: "Hmm". said that he responded to his father's questioning.

Kong Ji saw that his father was still pondering. He continued: "Emperor Qin is desperate. will embark on the road of no return to the country. If the king is also bent on conquest and killing. What does it mean with Xiang Yu. I'm afraid that the Eastern Chu Kingdom will also be doomed. ”

"That's it. You're heavy. Kong Kun was a little disliked what Kong Ji had just said. If Xiang Zhuang sent troops to deny his merits. This is not right. And his son Kongji's idea is too one-sided. That's not good. More and faster chapters are here. Kong Kun thought for a moment. He hurriedly got up and said, "You and I will contact the courtiers separately." I'm going to write a book to admonish. Stop this crusade. ”

……

Cao Fu also moved into the north of the city not long ago. It is only three streets away from the Confucian Mansion. Cao Fengben, who had just returned from the palace, was in a good mood. I'm packing up for an expedition. But I don't want to. Father Cao Wuyi came. Talking to her. Cao Feng accidentally told Xiang Zhuang about his expedition to the west. Cao Wuyi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

He didn't want Xiang Zhuang to conquer Liu Bang at this time. Opposite. Xiang Zhuang should take this opportunity. Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. If Zhang Hansheng wins. Xiang Zhuang ordered Gongao to send troops to Guanzhong. And Xiang Zhuang led his troops along the west of the river. You can go straight to Guanzhong. Take the opportunity to destroy Zhang Han. And Liu Bangsheng. Why don't Xiang Zhuang go straight to Guanzhong along the Han River. Update as soon as possible to completely destroy Liu Bang's foundation. Even if Liu Bang occupies the center. What's the point?

But Xiang Zhuang chose to lead his troops westward. Help Zhang Han defend against Liu Bang. This made Cao Wuyi unable to figure it out. What is his intention?

"When is the king going to raise his army?" Cao Wuyi thought for a moment. Finally asked. Side. Cao Feng shook his head dissatisfiedly: "He didn't tell me." It's just that they want to go west. Let me pack my bags. ”

"That's not going to work. I must enter the palace at once. Hinder the king. ”

……

Same as Cao Fu. Wu County is driven by Kong Carp and Kong Ji. They all want to enter the palace to see them. And more than 100 people jointly listed on the table. Wrote a book of admonitions. Hurried in the direction of the palace.

And the other side. The palace of the king of Chu was calm. Xiang Zhuang temporarily recruited a lot of generals to gather in the side hall. There is Ding Gu, the commander of the Black Eagle Army. The Tiger battalion commander Ma Tianhong. The head of the Tiger Ben battalion will be Gui Yinghao. General Cao was not injured. A gentleman. Ding Hong. Hou Kaige. Lotte et al. There is also marching Sima Zhousheng. Everyone gathered in front of the sand table. Seriously analyze the battle situation.

If Xiang Zhuang intends to go west. The most direct pathway. It is down the Yangtze River. But there's one more problem. The Eastern Chu army could only mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses this time. And the dock of Dongchu. It will be taken over by the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion. Thoroughly garrisoned in various places. Such. Ma Tianhong, the commander of the Tiger Battalion, will also serve as the county guard of Lujiang County. Completely envelop the border defense of Dongchu in his hands. Although such an arrangement would make Ma Tianhong's power too great. But this is also what Xiang Zhuang decided after thinking about it for several days and nights.

The Tiger Battalion takes over the dock. The Tiger Ben battalion deployed the Beijing Division. Garrisoned in Wu County. And the only soldiers and horses that can be called. Only the Black Hawks. The Black Hawk Army had nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses at this time. But the river crosses the river port. The port of Dantu River needs to be garrisoned by soldiers and horses. Nearly 30,000 troops of Ding Gu were consumed. Before Gui Yinghao's army withdrew. Ding Gu's army had to stay 10,000 near Wu County. In case of banditry. Such. The remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Black Eagle Army will be the main force of Xiang Zhuang's western expedition.

That's why. made the protagonist of this meeting become Ding Gu. And Gui Yinghao. Ma Tianhong became a supporting role. But there is another possibility. Gui Yinghao may lose his military power because of this. The master from one side will be transferred back to Xiang Zhuang for backup. Choices. It all depends on Xiang Zhuang. And just when everyone was thinking about the route to the army. Hua Yu had already hurriedly walked into the side hall. He whispered in Xiang Zhuang's ear: "King." Just received the message. Your quest has slipped. The courtiers were dissatisfied. They have joined forces. Prepare to protest in the book. At this time, it was almost in front of the palace gate. ”
