Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 254 I, Liu Bang, Want to Compete for the Position of Co-Lord of the World
Xiang Yu came from Qi to Chu day and night, and had just crossed the border of Qi and Chu for only two hundred miles, when he saw his clansmen galloping on horseback. in her swaddle was a baby.

Seeing Xiang Yu, the man immediately stopped his horse, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Xiangying City was attacked by the coalition forces led by Liu Ji, and the princes and kings are looting the city wantonly.

The clansmen desperately rescued the little prince. "

The coalition forces plundered wantonly in Xiangying City. This is not his nonsense. Liu Bang's control over the princes is very weak. They are real allies and have no status among monarchs and ministers.

At that time, Xiang Yu moved all the treasures that Qin State plundered from the Six Kingdoms back to Chu State, and then set fire to Xianyang Palace. Nearly half of the Xianyang Palace turned into scorched earth. Gotta burn.

Now that these treasures have fallen into the hands of the princes again, it is natural to snatch them, but at least the overall situation is still under control, they are just grabbing things, not massacring the city.

These nobles have all seen Luo Ling call the wind and rain with their own eyes. Everyone knows that Luo Ling is staring at them in Zhaocheng. Whoever dares to slaughter the city may want to suffer two storms and lightning.

Xiang Yu stretched out his hand to take his only heir, looking at the tear-stained baby, he almost shed tears, and Yu Ji cried out directly, and quickly took it from Xiang Yu's hand.

Then Xiang Yu asked angrily: "Where is Liu Ji? He has always been greedy for money and lust. What did he do? Did he kill any members of the Xiang clan?"

Xiang Yu's feelings for Liu Bang are very complicated. When he met in Zhaocheng, Liu Bang was the only prince he liked.

Because at that time only Liu Bang dared to attack Qin to the west, he thought Liu Bang was a good man, and he and Liu Bang made an agreement to encircle and wipe out Meng Tian as brothers.

Later, Liu Bang did not encircle Meng Tian with him, but turned his head to break through the barrier. He felt a little deceived, but then news came out that Meng Tian's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out by Liu Bang's army, and Xiang Yu's perception of Liu Bang became more and more complicated. .

Until Liu Bang broke into Guanzhong, Xiang Yu completely regarded Liu Bang as his opponent, and the follow-up was to dismantle Liu Bang's Guanzhong, but in order to seal Liu Bang's mouth, he still gave it to Bashu and Hanzhong.

Xiang Yu was most worried that Liu Bang would ask him at that time: "King Xiang, you and I were brothers at the beginning, is this how you treat brothers?"

That would be too embarrassing for the ancestors. If it weren't for the stability of the emperor's position, with the 800-year glory of the Xiang family, Xiang Yu would never want to treat a minister like Liu Bang who has made great contributions, and he is still a brother with him. Doing something like a breach of trust.

After learning that Liu Ji broke the city, Xiang Yu knew that the Xiang family would definitely be retaliated against, but he was most concerned about Liu Ji. If Liu Ji attacked the Xiang family, then Xiang Yu would no longer have a burden in his heart.

The members of the Xiang clan thought for a while and choked up their sobs: "The King of Han's army didn't do anything, they just entered the palace and took away the treasures, they didn't loot the city, and they didn't take revenge on the clansmen.

Basically, the armies of the princes were plundering ordinary Chu people. If they did not resist, it would be fine, but if they resisted, they would be killed directly. In order to protect the little prince, many tribesmen died in the city. "

Liu Bang didn't want to control the Qin people. After all, the Qin people had resentment towards the Chu people, so it's better to vent it.

But Luo Yi persuaded: "My lord, once some things are done, people's bottom line will be broken, and then they will become more and more unscrupulous.

You are just allowing the soldiers to plunder now. If you don’t allow them to plunder next time, they will be dissatisfied. When they want to kill and plunder next time, do you want to take care of it?

And now the Qin people are venting for a while, and when they come to their senses, they will find that you are the same person as King Xiang, which will not be good for your future. "

Liu Bang recalled that he was a little embarrassed when he kicked open the widow's door for the first time, but later he didn't think it was a big deal to let the widow have children.

He knew Luo Yi was right.

However, the people of Qin came to the state of Chu from thousands of miles away, which is not conducive to unity.

In the end, Liu Bang made a bold decision, "The widow will reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service with the gold, silver, pearls and jade in the palace of the Chu Kingdom. This is what they deserve."

After this move, the soldiers of Qin's affection for Liu Bang increased even more. After fighting for so many years, when did they see such a generous reward?

When Xiang Yu heard that the Han army had not looted, he felt a little rejoiced, but when he heard that the members of the Xiang clan in the city were slaughtered, he was filled with fear.

Fortunately, most of the Xiang family's children were in their hometown in Gusu, Jiangdong, and not Xiang Ying, otherwise they would have suffered heavy casualties.

Thinking of those Xiang's children and Chu people who might have died tragically, Xiang Yu, who had recovered from his fear, burst into anger in an instant, and said in a hateful voice: "If I can't kill all of you this time, what do I have to do?" Face to face with uncles, grandfathers and ancestors of the Xiang family!
Immediately return to Xiangying, the widow will make these insects pay with blood. "

"eye for eye!"

The Chu army let out a roar that shook the sky, and Xiang Yu laughed out loud. This is the Chu people. As he destroyed the Chu people of Qin, the roar of horses and chariots resounded throughout the land of Chu.

Twenty thousand infantrymen protected Yuji and Xiang Yu's son, while the remaining soldiers rode horses or drove chariots to Xiangying City at full speed.

Xiang Yu knew that there were 60 troops attacking Chu, but he was not afraid. For him, the larger the number, the more flaws there will be.

Xiangying City is really too rich, almost half of the wealth of the entire Qin Kingdom is here, the princes are very happy to grab it, looking at this scene, Luo Yi's face is very ugly, Zhang Liang is also the same.

The two met under the pillars of the palace. They were both wise men with an intuition, and immediately knew what the other was worried about.

Although Han Wang was a nobleman in the South Korean government, his life in the Qin Dynasty was really miserable, which made him a little too fond of money. Now he saw these gold and silver treasures, and he was naturally unwilling to let them go. If you listen to what you say, but continue to take it while listening, it will not work at all.

Luo Yi was a little disappointed that he didn't expect this scene, and sighed: "If the elder brother's mausoleum were here, he would definitely not have made such a big mistake.

I knew that I should have purged the princes earlier, but now I have lost this opportunity. If Xiang Yu came to attack now, would the current army of princes be able to resist it?
Ugh.

I am really worried, and now I am going to persuade the King of Han to leave here as soon as possible. "

Zhang Liang's face changed slightly, if Liu Bang left, the backbone of the coalition army would be completely gone, but he thought about it, and murmured: "Ziyu.

The king of Han will not agree. There are 60 troops and more than a dozen princes here. They are the strongest force in the world. As long as they can defeat King Xiang, the king of Han will be the new co-lord of the world.

He was even able to step on the king of the Chu people to be crowned in the capital of the Chu people. Is there anyone in this world who can resist such a temptation?
Although Liang didn't have a close relationship with the King of Han, he was a gangster on the surface, but in fact he was a real hero rarely seen in the world.

Such a hero will never be timid before a fight. He will definitely fight King Xiang. This is his pride. You will return without success. "

"Ugh!"

Luo Yi sighed slightly, he knew what Zhang Liang said was right, Liu Bang was not the kind of person who was timid before fighting, if his strength was not as good as others, of course Liu Bang would listen to persuasion and come back later, but now Liu Bang has the upper hand!
An army of 60 million!

Wang Jian brought so many troops back then when he destroyed Chu, and most of Wang Jian's 60 were farmers, which were far inferior in quality to the current troops inside and outside Xiangying City.

These armies have all experienced years of war with the princes, and many of them are elite veterans. Once they put on armor, they will be a strong army. ·

Luo Yi still decided to give it a try. There are many things in this world that cannot be taken for granted. Even the most talented and intelligent people cannot probe into the depths of a person's heart.

What if Liu Bang has experienced something and happens to be weak in heart, or has something to leave in a hurry?

After returning to Liu Bang's side, Luo Yi said straight to the point: "My lord, since entering Xiangying City, the Han army has been able to maintain stability under your generosity and restraint, but the army of the princes has been in chaos, and even stationed in Xiangying City. The army outside the city was in some confusion.

The minister is really worried.

If an army like the princes' army suddenly encountered Xiang Yu's attack, would there be any other ending besides failure?
The most terrifying thing on the battlefield is the rout of soldiers. If the armies of the princes are routed, can the Han army still survive alone?
Your Majesty, I heard that choosing an ally is like choosing an arm. If your ally is strong, you will become stronger. If your ally is weak, you will have no power. Now your ally is not only powerless, but even against you. You cause damage.

The minister thought that he should leave here immediately, and wait for these allies to regain their sanity first. "

Liu Bang kept smiling when he heard the words, but when Luo Yi finished speaking, he said directly: "Ziyu, what you said may make sense.

But now there are 60 troops inside and outside Xiangying City. If he leads such a large army, Ji would not dare to fight Xiang Yu. It is better to guard the fortress in Guanzhong and never go east again.

Things in this world are like rowing a boat against a river, either going forward or going backwards, Ji is like this now, this may be the closest Ji is to the Lord of the World in his life, and this is the time Ji has the greatest power .

A whole 60 troops!

If you retreat now, where will you find so many troops in the future? Without so many troops, how can you defeat Xiang Yu?

Moreover, war is the most uncertain thing in this world. Ji will not necessarily lose. King Xiang won the battle in Handan because he had Duke Luo to assist him and the princes to assist him. Now he is the only one left.

60 against [-] to [-], will Ji lose? "
