Chapter 192

"My lord, are we going to Yingdu now?"

"it, we're a thousand people now, and going to Yingdu is looking for death!"

"Then go to Yingdu after you assemble?"

In the clear sky and dark night, the rumbling sound like thunder resounded across the land.

A thousand cavalry galloped quickly on the official road of the Chu State, and because they were all in black armor beside them, they only heard the sound of horses' hooves, but they did not see their shadows.

Qin Yu suddenly pulled the horse rope and left the large army.

Stopping the horse and looking back, the distant light of the fire flickered on and off.

"I wanted to work with you, but it seems that I thought too much. General Lu Cheng, we'll have a meeting later! ”

Qin Yu arched his hand in the direction of the firelight, and then turned to leave.

Tonight is destined to be an unquiet night.

The Chu army searched for the traces of the "ghost soldiers" on a large scale, but under Qin Yu's delay, the "ghost soldiers" had already slipped out of the cracks in the encirclement of the Chu army.

Therefore, the Chu army's large-scale search is destined to find nothing.

Lu Cheng sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the news came back one by one, and it was summed up in three words, but he didn't find it.

As time passed, the sky turned a little whiter, but there was still no trace of the "ghost soldiers".

Lu Cheng's heart also panicked, this feeling of panic has not appeared for a long time.

Lu Cheng's footsteps in the big tent never stopped, did he look outside the big tent.

At this time, the lieutenant general ran in.

"Did you find it?" Without waiting for the deputy general to speak, Lu Cheng asked eagerly.

"I didn't find it, and the surrounding mountains and forests were also searched, and there was no trace on the official road." The adjutant shook his head and said.

Lu Cheng's heart sank, "I've been tricked!" ”

Lu Cheng now understood that the guy who talked to him last night was actually delaying time.

This cavalry estimated that he had already run away last night, and his attention was on the general of the cavalry at that time, and he didn't care about anything else.

Lu Cheng hurriedly said to the deputy general: "Send someone back to Yingdu to tell Xiang Yu that they may go to Yingdu!" ”

"What!" The adjutant general was also surprised, "How come?" Are they really ghosts, so that they can get out of our encirclement without knowing it? ”

Lu Cheng glanced at the adjutant general coldly, do you want to tell yourself what happened to your own problem?

The deputy general trembled at this glance, hurriedly responded to the promise, and then ran out to send someone to meet Yingdu.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath, if Yingdu was attacked, his career would probably be ruined.

Tang State has a Qin Zhen, a Qin Yu is enough, and now there is such a ghostly army, is it possible that Tang State is going to rise!

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng couldn't help but think of the current situation in the Chu State.

The king of Chu seems to be the king of a country, but the Xiang family of Chu, the Qu family and the Mi family, who represent the royal family, are the ones who are grasping the authority of Chu.

Most of the decrees of the King of Chu needed the permission of the three families before they could be implemented.

For example, when attacking Tang and Qi before, the king of Chu did not agree, but the three families insisted on it, causing the king of Chu to have to give in.

After the king of Chu gave in, he only planned to attack the Tang state, and did not want to attack the two countries at the same time.

However, after discussing in private, the three families directly bypassed the king of Chu and sent troops to Qi and Tang at the same time.

The top and bottom of the Chu State saw all this very clearly.

The king of Chu has been recruiting his own people since he was registered.

But the talented people in the Chu State were basically recruited by the three families, and Xiang Feng held military power, so it was completely impossible for the King of Chu to weaken the three families.

But Xiang Feng's death in battle gave the king of Chu a huge opportunity.

The king of Chu chose himself, his disciple of Xiang Feng.

Lu Cheng's eyes were solemn, and he turned around and returned to the big tent.

Although Lu Cheng was a disciple of Xiang Feng, he was not loyal to the three families, but to the entire Chu State.

It was precisely because the King of Chu saw this, so he made Lu Cheng a general.

After all, Lu Cheng has a very high prestige in the army and can help the King of Chu regain military power.

Moreover, the king of Chu planned the conflict between Lu Cheng and the three families.

promised the Qu family and let Qu Heng take the place of Lu Cheng's main general of the Tang Dynasty.

asked Xiang Yu to follow Lu Cheng this time, and he also wanted to use Lu Cheng's hand to ruin Xiang Yu's career.

Now that Lu Cheng has figured out this, he only feels a chill hit his heart.

In order to regain his rights, the king of Chu has been allowing the three families to make wrong decisions.

But if you do this, you will not only destroy the three families, but also the Chu State!

At present, there are only two roads in front of Lu Cheng, one is to take refuge in the three families and break with the king of Chu.

If you choose this path, at least in your lifetime, you can ensure that you will be prosperous and wealthy in your life.

As for the second way, it is to attach to the king of Chu, help the king of Chu weaken the three families, and gather royal power.

But this road is very dangerous, once it fails, it will inevitably be retaliated against by the three families, and it will not end well, and even affect the family.

Of course, there is another way to retire and never ask about court affairs.

But Lu Cheng is not such a person who is willing to escape from the world, and he can't watch the Chu State decline step by step in the struggle between the King of Chu and the three families.

Lu Cheng sat on the desk handling the documents and sighed heavily.

"Teacher, the mess you left behind is far bigger than I thought."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng took off a token from his waist.

This token was given to Lu Cheng by Xiang Feng back then, relying on the token, Lu Cheng was in Xiang's house, and he could be unimpeded.

The obverse of this token is an item character, and the reverse side is a Chu character.

After Lu Cheng looked at the token for a long time, he suddenly threw the token into the air.

The token swirls in the air until it lands on the ground with a thud before splitting in half.

Half of the token is half of the Chu character upwards, and the other half of the token is half of the item character upwards, but there is a crack on it.

Lu Cheng looked at the two halves of the token and didn't say anything for a long time.

At this time, it was already dark, in the mountains and forests five miles outside Shouchun City.

Three thousand horsemen have converged here, but there are still seven thousand horsemen who have not arrived.

In this regard, Qin Yu was not in a hurry.

According to the original plan, the remaining 7,000 elite horsemen will wait until tomorrow night to resist the convergence here.

"My lord, it's all arranged, you can go and rest first." A young general walked up and said.

Qin Yu waved his hand, "You guys go and rest, I'm not tired now." ”

Qin Yu seemed calm, but he was very nervous in his heart.

After all, after breaking it into pieces, the rest is not in your control.

This feeling of not being in control made Qin Yu a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Qin Yu was expressionless, the young general sat on the stone and pulled off the leaves of the branches in his hand one by one, so he didn't bother anymore and retreated silently.

Time passed little by little, and after Qin Yu fell asleep at noon, he didn't wake up until the evening.

Then he waited until late at night, and after a few hours, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the forest.

After a while, the scout came running and reported: "General! A team of people is back! ”

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked the scout to bring people over.

After more than two hours, the other centaurs also came back one after another.

Half an hour before dawn, 10,000 horses gathered together again.

Qin Yu saw that the sky was not yet dawn, and although everyone was tired at this time, he still ordered the transfer.

After all, this place is too close to Shouchun, and it has been staying for so long, for safety, it is necessary to transfer the location.
