Xiang Ye still didn't make a husband and wife ceremony with Chi Xue'e after all, and his last shred of reason overcame his 'desire' for Chi Xue'e.

Now external worries and internal troubles coexist, in the northwest, there are Xiongnu who are eyeing the Central Plains; In the west's large-scale invasion of the pass,

In such a situation, the last thing he can do is something that could cause internal instability.

Marrying Chi Xue'e is not a big deal, but if Xiang Qing is unhappy, and the women's army has a 'commotion' and 'chaos', the Huns may have an opportunity.

In addition to dealing with the Xiongnu, Xiang Ye also had a Wuwei battalion to go on an expedition, not entirely because the combat effectiveness of the Wuwei battalion needs to be improved, this army will be of great use in the near future, can it reverse the situation of the Chu-Han war, it is very likely to be,

After leaving Chi Xue'e's residence, Xiang Ye returned to the palace with a group of guards,

The affairs of the Women's Army were 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing 'handed over' to Wu to practice swords in the harem,

Marrying Xiang Ye, what they got was not the appearance they imagined, but often had to endure the pain of parting.

Xiang Ye is a king immediately, Xiang Yu divided the country, but did not provide him with the capital to defend the country, if he wants to keep the country and keep everything he already has, he must fight in the south and the north, crusade against enemies from all directions,

And as Xiang Ye's wife, 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing must endure the loneliness of being alone in the empty boudoir,

"Your sword practice, Xiang Ye's voice came from the side,

They hurriedly put away their swords and ran to Xiang Ye's side like birds,

"King, you finally have time to come back to accompany us during the day!" The two 'female' people ran up to Xiang Ye and said in unison with their faces on their faces,

"I thought you guys always liked me to come back at night," Xiang Ye pouted: "When I was in Jiuyuan, I wasn't idle every night, so you didn't want this!" ”

His words were full of ridicule, and the faces of 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing suddenly turned red like a red cloth, and at the same time, they lowered their heads and pursed their mouths and stopped talking.

"Since you don't like me to accompany you at night, then come and go with me now!" Xiang Ye stretched out his hand to hold 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing, and walked towards the depths of the Royal 'Flower' Garden,

The soil quality of Jiuyuan is not like the Central Plains, and the 'flower' grass is more difficult to survive here, and the royal 'flower' garden of the Xia King is not so much a 'flower' garden as it is a forest full of tall trees.

Rows of tall cedar trees are closely connected, and the low bushes are neatly trimmed by the palace 'women' who 'serve' the 'flower' garden.

A few roe deer looked at Xiang Ye and the three of them who entered the depths of the woods from a distance, and when the three of them approached, they ran away quickly.

Xiang Ye led 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing to a cedar tree, he raised his head and looked up at the canopy, and after a long time he sighed and turned to look at 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing,

"The king is more delicate than Xiang Qing, she feels that today's Xiang Ye is very different, without the domineering spirit that has been shown outside since Jiuyuan, but a little melancholy and helpless,

"Since the establishment of the Xia Kingdom, I have been busy with state affairs," Xiang Ye leaned on the tree with one hand, and said in a somewhat low tone: "I'm too tired, there are Xiongnu in the northwest of the Xia Kingdom, and if we don't eradicate the Xiongnu for a day, our defense will not be able to consolidate for a day; And in the south, Liu Bang may enter at any time, everything I have is given by the overlord, and Xiang Qing is the sister of the overlord, I have no choice, once Chu Han starts a war, all I can choose is to support the overlord! ”

"Didn't Liu Bang burn the plank road?" 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing glanced at each other, and the news they got was that Liu Bang burned the plank road immediately after entering the Han Dynasty, indicating his determination not to return to Guanzhong.

"It's just a cover!" Xiang Ye pursed his lips and said with some disdain: "Liu Bang is a villain, now his strength is not enough to compete with the overlord for the world, although he has the courage to dominate the world, he can only make compromises for the time being, it won't be long before he will return to Guanzhong,"

After listening to Xiang Ye's words, Xiang Qing furrowed her brows, but soon her brows stretched again, and she said with relief: "There are King Yong, King Sai and King Zhai guarding Guanzhong, presumably it is not so easy for Liu Bang to occupy Guanzhong!" ”

Xiang Ye did not answer Xiang Qing's words, but said to her and 'Meng' Su: "Four years, at least four more years before we can get peace, four years later, if we don't die, then we can get a lifetime of glory and wealth, no longer have to fight in the north and south, no longer have to suffer from parting,"

We and Xiang Qing heard what Xiang Ye said, and said in unison: "Since we are married to the king, if the king wants us to do something, we will definitely do our best!" ”

"I don't want you to do anything!" Xiang Ye smiled slightly, and said to the two of them: "I may have to transfer Jing Ao's guards to the hinterland of the Xiongnu, when the country is empty, you have to help me defend Jiuyuan City!" ”

The two 'women' replied and promised Xiang Ye that they would definitely guard Jiuyuan City.

At the same time, an army of 30,000 people was leaving Jiuyuan City and marching in the direction of Guyang.

Xiang Tong rode the Hun war horse that Xiang Ye gave him, and he was very majestic in front,

The wind swept the banner of the Chu army, and the big flag was blown up and down, and a big word "Chu" shook up and down with the dance of the battle flag, as if showing the might of the Chu army to the whole world.

Xiang Ye did not let him participate in the war between Xia and Yan, even if he was ordered to participate, he would definitely not be at his disposal.

When leaving Pengcheng, Xiang Yu made it very clear to him that when he arrived in the Xia Kingdom, his only enemies were the Huns, and as for the battles between the Xia Kingdom and other countries, he did not need to participate, and Xiang Yu did not allow him to participate.

The army came out of the newly reclaimed land of the Nine Sights,

The crops in the field are growing very well, and he has never seen such a good crop in Xichu.

"King Xia really has a hand!" Xiang Tong rode his horse and said to the little colonel beside him: "Jiu was originally a place that was not 'hairy', and it has always been used as a precaution against the overthrow of Qin, and it has only been two or three months since King Xia came here, and the population here has increased several times, and the entire Xia Kingdom is a thriving scene!" ”

The little colonel nodded, and said to Xiang Tong with a smile: "If the general likes it, it is good to ask the overlord to stay here for a long time!" Although there is still some 'swing' in the world now, whether it is Chen Yu of Zhao State or Tian Rong of Qi State, it is impossible to be the opponent of the overlord, there are not many of us, and there are no more of us! ”

Xiang Tong looked sideways at Xiao Xiaoxiao, and it took a long time before he laughed: "I said you, do you want to stay here, so you encourage me to stay?" ”

Xiao Colonel: "Don't hide it from the general, since I came to Xia Kingdom, I have liked it here, everything here is good, but it is a little bad!" ”

"That's not good?" Xiang Tong looked at Xiao Xiao Colonel with some puzzlement, he thought about it for a long time and didn't think that there was anything in Xia Guo that was not good enough.

said: "The ladies of the Xia Kingdom have rough skins, and they look rougher than me, and they are not as good as our wives in Xichu!" ”

"That's right!" Xiang Tong grinned, and said: "It's no wonder, this is close to the border, the wind and sand are relatively large, and it is reasonable for people to have thicker skins, if you find a girl here, don't look at her, as soon as it gets dark, she is on the kang, and there is no difference between the girls in Xichu!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Chu Jun, who was walking aside, burst out laughing,

After marching to a place more than thirty miles away from Guyang, Xiang Tong ordered the army to stop and found a place where it was easy to hide the army.

Their mission was to intercept the Huns from behind after they had passed, not to confront the Huns head-on.

After settling the army, Xiang Tong led the two colonels out of the army's hiding place.

He is not very familiar with the terrain of Guyang, since he wants to fight here, he must reconnoiter the terrain in advance, once the battle begins, he is familiar with the terrain to be able to retreat and defend, advance and attack, and grasp the initiative on the battlefield to a greater extent.

After walking about ten miles in the direction of Guyang, Xiang Tong saw a village faintly emerging not far ahead, and there was curling smoke rising in the village, which was obviously inhabited.

It wasn't long before they fell victim to the war.

Thinking of this, Xiang Tong rode his horse towards the village,

As soon as the servants entered the village, a big black dog ran out of the village, and after the dog ran out, he barked at Xiang Tong uncontrollably.

Xiang Tong glared at the big black dog, and 'drawn' out the long sword and slashed it.

The black head ran towards the village,

"Let's go! Enter the village and tell the villagers to let them leave quickly! Xiang Tong shook the reins, beckoned the two people behind him and rushed over,

When the black dog saw Xiang Tong following it, he thought that he was going to catch up with it and kill and eat 'meat', so he snorted, and twisted his body into a private house.

"Who's chasing my big black?" Xiang Tong was about to rush through the outside of this private house, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a person came out of it, and as soon as this person came out, he twisted his willow eyebrows and stared at Xiang Tong who was riding on a tall horse.

Xiang Tong reined in his horse and looked at the village girl in front of him without blinking,

This village girl is indeed a good skin, and the skin is not as rough as Xiang Tong said before, but a little more delicate than the 'girl' in Jiangnan.

A pair of willow eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon, and although the round apricot eyes are angry, they are more overflowing with tenderness.

Xiang Tong 'licked' his mouth and lips, swallowed his saliva, looked at the village girl, and didn't know what to say for a while, ~
