When the official who examined Li Si reported Li Si's confession to Hu Hai, Hu Hai looked at Li Si's confession and shook his head and sighed: "Li Si really has wolf ambitions, if it weren't for Zhao Gao, I would have almost been deceived by him!" ”

At the same time that Li Si was imprisoned, Wang Ming and Chen Zongzheng, who were sent by Zhao Gao to Sanchuan County to investigate Li You, were also on their way to Yongqiu.

After analyzing various information, Li You determined that the next target of the Chu army was Yongqiu, so he came here in advance to prepare troops and horses, just waiting for the Chu army to arrive, and fought to the death with them in Yongqiu.

When the second emperor sent Wang Ming and Chen Zongzheng, who were in charge of investigating Li You, arrived in Sanchuan County, the Chu army had just broken through Chenliu, and Chenliu became a temporary camp for the Chu army, and 100,000 male divisions were looking at Yongqiu from afar.

The arrival of Wang Ming and Chen Zongzheng made Li You feel like a knife, and he still remembered that when Hu Hai ascended the throne, in order to eradicate all those who might pose a threat to his throne, he killed all the Qin princes and princesses under the command of Zhao Gao, and Li You's wife also died in the hands of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao because she was the princess of Great Qin.

After burying his wife in a hurry, he immediately put on his military uniform and rushed to Xingyang, where he led the soldiers and civilians in the city to start a protracted tug-of-war with Zhang Chu's army.

The Battle of Xingyang slowed down the pace of Zhang Chu's 300,000 troops, so that Zhang Chu's army, which had broken through all the way and had never encountered obstacles, had exhausted its sharpness outside Xingyang City. It bought time for the Qin court to send troops to launch a counterattack, and without Li You dragging the rebel army in Xingyang, it would not have been possible to have the successive victories of Zhang Han.

Thinking of these past events, Li You's heart was like a knife. He and Fusu worshiped together under Meng Tian's tent to learn the art of war, Meng Tian and Fusu were executed one after another, and his wife was beheaded in the city, which did not shake his belief in assisting Daqin.

The arrival of Wang Ming and Chen Zongzheng brought Li You a piece of news that made him toss and turn all night and couldn't sleep peacefully, Li Si was imprisoned for rebellion, and although the Li clan had been temporarily released home, they were all controlled, and they didn't know the blessings and misfortunes.

Lying on the couch, Li You couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, he stood up, gently pushed open the window, and took a deep breath of the slightly cool air in the night.

There was a chirping of crickets and other small insects in the grass outside the window, and Li You closed his eyes slightly, listening to the harmonious rhythm of the night.

"I must guard Yongqiu and keep Xiang Yu and Liu Bang out of Yongqiu. I want the whole world to see that our Li family is loyal, as long as I defend Yongqiu or die on the battlefield, everything that happens here will definitely reach His Majesty's ears, and then the rumors will be self-defeating, and my father and family will no longer be in danger of their lives! Looking at the few small trees swaying slightly in the night breeze outside the window, listening to the singing of insects, Li You's heart actually calmed down, he was ready, ready to die for Daqin.

In Chenliu, Xiang Ye gathered everyone around him together. Since the Battle of Puyang, there have been many assassinations against one of them, and in the barracks, he has no power to allocate a single soldier, and he cannot arrange careful protection for everyone, all he can do is gather everyone in one place and protect himself with their own strength.

Xiang Ye began to regret a little, he regretted coming to Liu Bang. Here Monsu did not get the protection he was hoping for, but instead made him feel more and more danger around him.

During this time, Shi Lei's performance was a little abnormal, every day he would disappear inexplicably for a period of time, and no one knew where he went. When he returned to the camp, only Li Xinpeng would look at him with a very strange look every time.

"I want to go to Yongqiu." Xiang Ye and Meng Su strolled through the streets of Chen Liu, entering the city for three days, and this was the first time they had gone out alone from everyone.

Meng Su, who was walking side by side with him, lowered her head and didn't say a word, the expression on her face was very complicated, and her steps under her feet also looked a little messy, and on two occasions she even almost hit Xiang Ye's body.

"Mengsu, I want to try, I want to try to persuade Master Li to surrender. Li Si has been imprisoned, and Zhao Gao obviously wants to erase the Li family from the world in order to be willing. The county keeper has been kind to you, and we can't fail to repay it, and I want to persuade him, hoping that he can see the current form and leave a life. When he said this, Xiang Ye was a little stunned, he knew that the Battle of Yongqiu would be the last battle in Li You's life. But he still wanted to make an attempt, try to change this history, and let Li You live.

"I'll go with you!" Meng Su stopped, stared at Xiang Ye's eyes and said, "If it weren't for Master Li, I would have been victimized by traitors, and now that we are going to become enemies, how can I fight against him on the battlefield?" ”

"yes!" Xiang Ye nodded, took Meng Su's hand and said, "If you go with me, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Without further ado, I will make it clear to Pei Gong today, and we will set off for Yongqiu in the afternoon. ”

The two discussed so far, no longer delayed, Meng Su went back to the barracks to pack up the dry food and other things that needed to be consumed on the road, while Xiang Ye ran straight towards Liu Bang's camp.

Li You's garrison in Yongqiu was also a lot of pressure on Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. When Zhang Chu's army besieged Xingyang, Li You only relied on the people and defenders in the city to block Zhang Chu's army in Xingyang for several months, and his reputation had already spread all over the world because of the first battle of Xingyang.

Yongqiu is different from Xingyang, the city wall of Yongqiu is low and dilapidated, although Li You transferred more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Sanchuan County to Yongqiu to assist in the city defense, but such a city wall is still slightly low in the eyes of 100,000 Chu troops.

Liu Bang went to Xiang Yu's barracks early in the morning to discuss military affairs, and when Xiang Ye arrived in front of his barracks, he had not yet returned.

Xiang Ye pressed the long sword in his hand and stood straight in front of Liu Bang's barracks waiting for him to come back. He looked around boredly, surrounded by houses that had been requisitioned into military camps, and from time to time a group or two of patrolling soldiers passed in front of him.

After watching it for a while, he felt a little bored, squatted down, picked up a small wooden stick from the ground, and drew circles on the ground to pass the boring time.

"Squeak~~" Just when Xiang Ye was using a branch to "arrange troops" on the ground to just have some fun, Liu Bang's barracks door was opened, and a person looked out, when this person saw Xiang Ye squatting at the door, his face was suddenly shocked, and he quickly retracted his head and retreated into the room.

The sound made when the door opened had already alarmed Xiang Ye, and he raised his head to look at the door, and what he saw was a familiar face.

The person who poked his head out quickly dodged back, Xiang Ye frowned, stood up, and stared at the door in confusion for a while, and soon he seemed to remember something and turned around and left Liu Bang's barracks.

The person who hid back in the room hid behind the door, secretly looking out through the crack in the door, and when he saw Xiang Ye leaving, he let out a long breath and walked out of the house with his clothes and armor. Behind him, a woman with messy temples and a slightly panicked expression was looking at his broad back worriedly.

Xiang Ye didn't go far, he just turned around and hid behind Liu Bang's barracks. When the man in the room came out, he chased after him.

"Shi Lei, you stop!" The two of them walked one after the other, and when they were about to walk near Xiang Ye's barracks, Xiang Ye called out to the people walking in front.

Hearing the shout, Shi Lei stopped. He didn't look back, he knew who was behind him, and he knew why the people behind him stopped him.

"Where did you go every day when you left the barracks?" Xiang Ye walked behind Shi Lei, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What are you doing there?" The host is not at home, so you have to go ......"

Shi Lei turned his head and looked at Xiang Ye, and after a while, he shook his head bitterly and smiled, and said a little helplessly: "I know what you want to say, you guessed right, I did go there to meet her!" ”

"You don't want to die?" After confirming the idea in his heart from Shi Lei, Xiang Ye was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, pulled Shi Lei to a quiet place, and whispered, "Do you know who she is?" You made her man wear a green scarf, if he is discovered, do you still want to be alive? ”

Shi Lei closed his eyes slightly, sighed helplessly and said, "I didn't know before, but I recently learned that she was that person's wife." But so what? I've become obsessed with her, I can't get away from her more and more, and she's very dependent on me! We'll be careful and we won't be discovered! ”

"!" Xiang Ye frowned, stretched out his hand and pointed at Shi Lei's chest and said, "Where is your heart?" Do you know the woman? I'm telling you, that's a woman who has a desire for power that is far higher than affection. Do you think she's dead set on you if you crush her underneath? If one day, you threaten her status, she won't care how you use your powerful guy on her to make her die happily, she will definitely kill you without hesitation! ”

Xiang Ye bitterly persuaded Shi Lei to give up, but Shi Lei didn't appreciate it at all, he raised his hand and knocked Xiang Ye's fingers on his chest aside, lowered his voice and said, "If you still treat me as a brother, don't worry about this matter anymore." I miss her, I am willing to die for her, every day her shadow will appear in front of my eyes, I don't care who she is! No matter what retribution will happen in the future, all I want is to be with her, even if it's just for a short period of pleasure! ”

After Shi Lei said this, he turned around and walked towards the barracks, and after taking a few steps, he stopped again, turned his back to Xiang Ye and said: "I have grown so big, it is the first time I know what it is like to be a woman, and it is also the first time I know how comfortable and comfortable it feels to hold a woman and be held by a woman. I can't do without him, if you want to stop me, from now on, we won't even have to be brothers! ”
