Chapter 154: Fanning the Flames
When Xiang Ye led people to Haiyan City, Song Yi led 50,000 Chu troops all the way to the northwest.
In order to separate Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, Song Yi ordered Xiang Yu to lead the cavalry to open a road in front of the army, and build a bridge when the mountain opened the road and met the water; He also ordered Fan Zeng to lead the army to postpone, and at the same time be responsible for the supply of grain and grass and the smooth flow of grain and grain, and other book friends were watching:. [`]
Song Yi's arrangement was completely deliberate, although Fan Zeng had meritorious service in supporting King Huai, he was Xiang Liang's person after all, and he was not familiar with him. Putting Fan Zeng by Xiang Yu's side was quite a threat to him. Only by separating Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu will Xiang Yu have less brains, and he will be able to sit firmly in the position of the general.
The Chu army marched towards the north in a mighty 'swing' and 'swing', and Song Yi sat on a carriage without a roof, and the carriage was covered with red linen cloth, which was not only comfortable but also full of style.
The front and rear of the carriage were covered with cavalry holding flags, and surrounded by cavalry, Song Yi's carriage followed the Chu army column and slowly marched to the northwest.
When the team marched to Anyang, Song Yi ordered the whole army to camp. He never moved his nest again when he set up camp, and did not continue for several days.
Xiang Liang's defeated Dingtao was only a few miles away from Anyang, and Zhang Han gave up Dingtao after defeating Xiang Liang and led his army north to attack Zhao. When Song Yi arrived here, he did not 'provoke' the Chu army to hate the enemy in Dingtao, but stationed the army in Anyang, which made many people puzzled.
After being stationed in Anyang, Xiang Yu, who was in charge of opening the road ahead, was very anxious. He was in a hurry to go north to find the Qin army for a decisive battle and avenge Xiang Liang, but the Chu army stagnated at the most critical time, which made him very unbearable.
Since he was stationed in Anyang, Song Yi had to gather the generals of the Chu army for a meeting every day, and the content of the meeting never left the three plates, the first was that he first called on the generals to give full play to the fine traditions of the Chu army and kill the enemy bravely; the second is that he confessed to the generals that he was not afraid of death and was determined to swear allegiance to the state of Chu; The third section is more interesting, as he always announces to the generals after the meeting that he will soon cross the Yellow River and fight the Qin army.
At first, the generals were still somewhat interested in his speech, and believed that he would soon lead his army across the Yellow River to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, but later, the days dragged on for a long time, and the Chu army still did not act, and the generals became less and less interested in Song Yi's speech.
Every time Song Yi gave a speech, Xiang Yu would frown and be impatient. He doesn't like this kind of performance that only exaggerates but has no actual action, Xiang Yu is a realist, he only believes in real fights on the battlefield, and has little interest in these ethereal, unnutritious oaths. (text only)
"General, you say every day that Keri will go north, but we have been in Anyang for more than a month, when will we cross the river and fight the Qin army?" Finally, Xiang Yu couldn't bear Song Yi's performance anymore, and when Song Yi spoke to the generals again, he interrupted Song Yi's words and asked with a frown.
Song Yi glanced at Xiang Yu with some annoyance, and said: "Lu Gongdon't be anxious, at this moment, the Qin army is strong, our army crosses the river rashly, if the Qin army crosses it halfway, our army will inevitably be annihilated." ”
"Then you have to go north to garrison on the bank of the Yellow River!" Song Yi's explanation was not approved by Xiang Yu, he knelt down and said: "This place is far away from Julu, our army must at least camp on the bank of the Yellow River, so that I can find out the movements of the Qin army, and now that the army is stationed in Anyang, so far away from Julu, how can I grasp accurate information?" ”
Song Yi waved his hand at Xiang Yu and said, "Lu Gong is a little restless, don't be impatient, it's good-looking:." Then he turned away from the tent where the congregation was assembled.
Fan Zeng looked at Song Yi's departing back, the corners of his mouth pulled upward, and he couldn't stop sneering. At first, he didn't understand why Song Yi would station his army in Anyang, but from Song Yi's recent performance, he found that Song Yi was simply afraid of Zhang Han and did not dare to continue north.
In fact, Song Yi was indeed afraid of Zhang Han, and before he came to Anyang, he ordered someone to ask Tian Rong of Qi to send troops to reinforce Julu.
Tian Rong was unmoved by Song Yi's request, and Song Yi learned from the returning messenger that it was hopeless to ask Tian Rong for help, so he had to turn to the second best and send a request to Tian Rong's subordinate Tian Du.
In order to persuade Tian Du, he asked people to find six beautiful 'women' from the Chu State and add pearls and 'jade' to send them to Tian Du's mansion, Tian Du was greedy for profits, disobeyed Tian Rong's order not to aid Zhao, and 'privately' led the army to Julu to reinforce the Chu army.
While inviting Tiandu, Song Yi also sent invitations to many rebels. During the period when the Chu army was stationed in Anyang, various righteous troops arrived one after another, joined the Chu army, and stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River.
The reason why Song Yi garrisoned the army in Anyang was to give himself a psychological buffer time, and he wanted to use this time to adjust his mentality, and finally muster up the courage to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army; In addition, he also hopes to gather more righteous troops, so that the Chu army will no longer fight alone, and the certainty of victory will be relatively greater; The most important thing is that he wants to watch the fire from the other side, watch the Qin army and the Zhao army fight, and take advantage of the fishermen.
When the Chu army was stationed in Anyang for the second month, Xiang Ye led the Chu army that had gone to exterminate Wu Yue's sword mound to Anyang.
Along the way, Xiang Ye didn't delay at all, and ran straight towards Anyang, and other book friends were reading:. The textbook has already told him that Song Yi will station the army in Anyang, and in the near future, a big event will happen in Anyang, rush back at this time, it is the time for him to be loyal to Xiang Yu, as long as he can rush back in time, fan a little wind and light some fire in front of Xiang Yu, and his status in front of Xiang Yu will be greatly improved in the future.
For Xiang Ye, this is an opportunity, he will not let go of any opportunity that may be beneficial to him, if he wants to have the ability to influence history in the future, now he has to work harder than anyone else. In this regard, he has an advantage, that is, he understands the history of Chu and Han, at least some of the major events in the history of Chu and Han.
"Big brother, Xiang Ye is back!" Xiang Yu was sitting in the tent sulking, Xiang Qing opened the curtain and came in, shouting to him with joy.
"General, look at the girl." These days, Yu Ji has been worried about Xiang Yu's sullenness, and when she saw Xiang Qing rushing into the tent with a happy face, she said to Xiang Yu with a smile: "My sister has grown up, and it's time to get married." ”
"Sister-in-law, look at you!" Seeing Yu Ji teasing her, Xiang Qing pouted and said, "Big brother, you don't care about your sister-in-law!" ”
Xiang Yu smiled very rarely, and said to Xiang Qing: "Whose 'daughter' doesn't have 'spring'?" You have also grown up, it is time to consider marriage for you, and when the tyrannical Qin is destroyed, I will personally send you to Xiang Ye's 'door'. ”
"Big brother, you are also making fun of me!" Xiang Qing pouted, pretending to be disobedient, but from the smile hanging from the corner of her eyes, no one would believe that she really disobeyed.
"Go and call Xiang Ye, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know how he is!" Xiang Yu smiled and waved his hand at Xiang Qing and asked her to call Xiang Ye.
In front of anyone, Xiang Yu can show a cold and resolute appearance, but in front of Xiang Qing, he has always maintained the image of a loving brother.
Xiang Qing is Xiang Liang's 'daughter', he is Xiang Liang's 'adult' person, Xiang Liang is closer to him than his biological father, and now that Xiang Liang is gone, he not only wants to be a qualified brother, but also cares for her like a loving father.
After receiving Xiang Yu's order, Xiang Qing turned around and walked out of the big tent. It didn't take long for her to lead Xiang Ye back.
"Xiang Ye, are you getting better?" As soon as Xiang Ye entered the big tent, Xiang Yu smiled at him and said, "In the days when you are away, you can think badly of my family Qing'er." ”
Xiang Qing saw Xiang Yu teasing her in front of Xiang Ye, pursed his mouth, turned his back to Xiang Yu, and looked shy.
Xiang Ye smiled slightly, bowed down and saluted Xiang Yu and said, "Thanks to the general, my injuries have long healed, and I specially rushed back to the army to serve the general." ”
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" As Xiang Yu spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Xiang Ye and said, "Sit, sit down first." ”
Xiang Ye answered, knelt down near the tent curtain, looked at Xiang Yu and asked, "General, it has been more than two months since the army was launched, why did you march to Anyang?" ”
As soon as he heard Xiang Ye ask about the march of the army, Xiang Yu frowned, slapped the table in front of him, and said hatefully: "It's all Song Yi's house, it's been two months since our army arrived here, but he didn't move, and there was no sign of crossing the river to aid Zhao, I really can't understand what he wants to do!" ”
Xiang Ye wrinkled his brows and groaned for a moment before he said to Xiang Yu: "Along the way, I saw a lot of righteous troops rushing towards Anyang, if the last general's guess is correct, Song Yiding is afraid of Zhang Han and wants to gather all the righteous troops to go north together." ”
Xiang Yu sighed and said: "That's true, in recent days, the Qi general Tiandu led the army to arrive, and then many princes led the army to help, and now there are more than 200,000 coalition troops gathered here, but Song Yi still does not move, what is he thinking in his heart, I can't figure it out." ”
The corners of Xiang Ye's mouth pulled up slightly, and he sneered: "Song Yi is very calculating, but he doesn't know that even if he gathers a million troops, he is just a rabble in front of Zhang Han, and he has no combat power at all." It is still our Chu army that can compete head-on with the Qin army, once the war starts, it is our warriors of Great Chu who will be on the cusp of the storm, what role can those princes who were scared by Zhang Han play? ”
His words obviously reached Xiang Yu's heart, Xiang Yu nodded, knelt down and said to Xiang Ye: "Brother-in-law, how should this matter be handled in your opinion?" ”
"Mutiny!" Xiang Ye said to Xiang Yu without thinking about it: "King Huai let Song Yi be the general obviously wanted to use him to suppress the Xiang clan, and now Song Yi is afraid of war and dare not move forward, if it is up to them, the old general's efforts to restore Chu will inevitably be in vain, and the only way to protect the Xiang clan and save Dachu is to mutiny to seize military power and go north to save Zhao!"
