In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 697

Since Xiang Liang Lihuai Wang Xiongxin, the capital of Chu State was temporarily established in Xutai.

After Chen Sheng raised his troops, the nobles of the six countries followed one after another.Xiang Liang raised his troops from Wuzhong, went north all the way, and captured the land of Eastern Chu, as far as Qilu.

However, there is a limit to the expansion of power after all.

There are only so many territories, and the expansion boundaries of various princes will eventually overlap with each other.

The Xiang family of Chu State and the Tian family of Qi State have already had friction with each other.

Although under the call to destroy Qin, the two have not yet had a major conflict, but this has already shown that the current development of Chu State has encountered a bottleneck.

"Yafu, Chen Sheng has now sent Wu Kuang to lead an army of hundreds of thousands to attack Qin. What do you think of the result?"

Xiang Shaoyu, Fan Zeng and Long Qie were walking on the street, with soldiers carrying grain and grass beside them.

After Xiang Liang raised his troops, he quickly captured most of the territory of Eastern Chu.However, the Xiang family did not exhaust the river to fish, and plundered all the food, grass, and population wherever they passed, but appeased the people, abolished the harsh laws of the Qin State, and restored order and people's livelihood.

Therefore, Xiang's basic market is very stable.

However, this also has a disadvantage. If you cannot continue to expand the territory, then the supplies that the corresponding area can provide have an upper limit, which cannot be increased in a short period of time. If you encounter frequent wars and insufficient food and grass, you will be in trouble.

There are two solutions, one is to continue to expand the territory, and the other is to kill the chicken and get the eggs.

Of course, the princes who are a little bit ambitious will not choose the latter method.

Now that Chen Sheng occupies Western Chu, all the feudal lords started under his banner, so it is naturally impossible for the Xiang family to expand their power to the west.

Then the only thing left is the Southern Chu area that is still in the hands of the Qin army.

But not long ago, Chen Sheng sent an army to attack Southern Chu, intending to seize the Changsha and Jiujiang areas south of Huaihan, but they were defeated by the Mohists and returned in defeat.

If Xiang wanted to take it, at least he had to ensure that Chen Sheng would not trouble them at this time.

Fan Zeng shook his head.

"The good and the bad in Zhang Chu's army are mixed, and the forces are too complex. There are not only the forces of Han and Wei, but also many opportunistic people. Now Zhang Er and Chen Yu are encouraging the military officials to make themselves the king of Zhao, and Zhou Shi has also supported Wei Jiu as the king. Although Zhang Chu's army is numerous, its internal strength has been seriously weakened. In addition, Chen Sheng has established himself as king, and his foundation is not deep. I am afraid that there will be more defeats than victories in this battle."

Long Qi followed behind Xiang Shaoyu and asked.

"Since Zhao Shuang was imprisoned for the second generation, the empire has experienced considerable turmoil. I heard that Li You was besieged by Wu Kuang's army in Xingyang. Is this clearing up the old ministers of the empire so that we can prepare for becoming king in the future?"

"If Zhao Shuang wanted to use outsiders to eliminate the old generals of the empire, then Wang Li should have detained him when he went south, instead of letting him return to Jiuyuan."

Fan Zeng's words made Long Qi more confused.

"In this case, why didn't he reinforce Li You? I heard that although Li You's Sanchuan army is elite, its number is only [-]. It is already difficult to defend big cities such as Luoyang and Xingyang, and it cannot stop Zhang Chu's army from advancing westward."

Fan Zeng nodded. He agreed with Long Qi's words, but because of this, he didn't know how the other party planned.

"I don't know how the opponent will make a move. This is the most dangerous thing."

As someone who came from that era, Fan Zeng knew very well how terrible the Prime Minister of Great Qin who lives in Chang'an is now.

"Bai Qi died in Du, Lian Po died in Chu, Li Mu was victimized by slander, Wang Jian retired, and after the death of the first lord, there are not many soldiers in today's world who can compete with the Great Qin Prime Minister." one."

Hearing Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Shaoyu was a little dissatisfied.

"Yafu, why waste others' ambition. I don't know what Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Li Mu are like. But I know how powerful Wang Jian and grandfather are. In my opinion, my Xiang family may not lose to him. After all Yafu is the one who plans thousands of miles, and I am the one who conquers the city!"

Xiang Shaoyu's words made Fan Zeng smile softly, but it was more worrying.

"Yafu has yet to see through Zhao Shuang's intentions."

Fan Zeng touched his beard, a little puzzled.

"To solve the chaos in Sanchuan now, besides Zhao Shuang, who else can?"

It is impossible for Zhao Shuang to leave Guanzhong at this time, but if he wants to command Li You, Yang Xiong and other Qin generals to organize troops to fight against Zhang Chujun, who else can do it except him?

Just as Fan Zeng was thinking, a silver bell-like laughter came from a loading and unloading carriage.

"Is Zhao Shuang really that powerful?"

The three of Fan Zeng turned their heads and saw a thin laborer in coarse clothes looking at them beside the carriage.

Although the laborer was thin and small, he had fair skin and beautiful eyes. Standing in the sun, he seemed a little tired. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and showed a smile on his face.

This smile is very pure, but also has a bit of cunning.

When Fan Zeng saw it, he was shocked and rushed to meet him.

"Kings!"

Fan Zeng was really worried. He looked around, but he didn't see Mi Xin's guards.

"I immediately sent someone to escort the king back to the palace."

"I thought it was boring in the palace, so I ran out, thinking to do my part for the great cause of my Chu country. You don't need to be like this, sir, and no one here knows me."

Faced with Fan Zeng's cautious and even frightened appearance, Mi Xin didn't care.

"You were discussing the war just now, why did you forget someone?"

Fan Zeng was surprised and asked.

"Who is the king talking about?"

"The former general who led 20 Qin troops to attack Chu, Li Xin!"

When Mi Xin said this, Fan Zeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Zhao Shuang's intention.

"After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, among the Qin army, the Wang family and the Meng family were dignitaries. Li Xin led his flying army to guard the northern land, and gradually faded out of people's sight. But regardless of his qualifications and status, he is indeed the only Other than Zhao Shuang, there is no other choice to solve the chaos in Sanchuan."

Fan Zeng looked at the smart young girl in front of him, and felt a little fortunate that she was a woman after all, otherwise Xiang and her would end up in an ending that no one wanted to see.

"Long Qi, tell Mr. Wu Xin our guess, and tell him to be careful. After so many years, no one knows what kind of combat power Li Xin and his flying army are. But once Wu Kuang is defeated, all the people in the world will The tables are going to flip."

After speaking, Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Shaoyu again.

"Shaoyu, tell Yingbo that the situation has changed, so don't send troops to Southern Chu for now. The Mohist's mechanism beasts are powerful, and we have to find a force that can match them."

"Yafu is talking about public losers!"

……

Mikawa.

The tall Li character banner was hanging in the air. Li Xin was wearing armor, and he clenched his hands tightly as he looked at the wreckage of the farmland left by Zhang Chujun when he passed by.

Back then, he led an army of 20 to attack Chu, but was stabbed severely in the back by Lord Changping.

Although because of Zhao Shuang, the flying army he led did not suffer a devastating blow, but it was also seriously injured.

What Li Xin lost was not only his personal prestige, but also the future of the brothers who followed him who were unwilling to leave.

Now, all this can finally be regained.

"Brothers, the shame of the past can be avenged today."

"promise!"
