Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 188
Chapter 188
Although Wang Ben and his son won the victory in Shangcai and killed Zhang Er's general Zhou Shi, the decline of the Qin army in Chen County has reached an irreparable level.

Zhang'er, who successively occupied Sishui County and Chen County, continued to expand northward, waiting for an opportunity to occupy Xue County and Dang County.

Compared with the vigorous war in the Central Plains, the south at this moment is particularly quiet.

After Xiang Yu occupied the entire Kuaiji, he followed his uncle Xiang Bo's suggestion to rest and recuperate temporarily, waiting for the opportunity.

But he didn't expect that instead of waiting for the opportunity, he would find a difficult neighbor.

After Wu Rui got Yingbo's help, his strength improved by leaps and bounds.

He is a very intelligent and strategic person. When Chen County was empty, he did not choose to go directly north, but chose to encroach on the entire Jiujiang County.

Everyone felt that Wu Rui's move was a waste of a great opportunity, but only Yingbo knew his painstaking efforts.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu had already occupied more than half of Chen Jun. If he intervened, it would be tantamount to grabbing food from the two of them. From a righteous point of view, it would be very unfavorable to them.

Moreover, Chen County is too close to the counties of Nanyang.

If Daqin and history were generally caught in internal strife, I'm afraid he would still find a way to occupy Chen County.

But right now, Daqin is only shrinking the front line, and sooner or later he will lead his troops to fight them.

Whether the Qin army is from Wuguan or Hanguguan, it must be Chen Jun who bears the brunt.

Under such circumstances, whoever occupies Chen County is not only a bad thing, but also faces the first attack of the Qin Army's cavalry.In Wu Rui's view, only with Zhang Er and Chen Yu standing in front of him can he gradually grow stronger and win the final victory.

When he raised the banner of anti-Qin, the barbarians from Baiyue quickly came to surrender.

After growing stronger, Wu Rui did not stop, but let Yingbu lead the army to go south quickly.

In five days, Yingbu quickly captured several counties around Poyang. At the same time that Wang Ben and others defeated Zhou Wen's army, he had already captured the entire Jiujiang County.

Seeing this situation, Wu Rui quickly sent urgent letters to Kuaiji, Hengshan, Lujiang, Guilin, Xiang and other counties in the south.

There are only a few words in the letter, but the core meaning is very clear, that is to encourage these local Baiyue people to follow Wu Rui and rebel against Qin.

When the news reached Kuaiji, Xiang Yu couldn't sit still.

If you talk about the most inhabited place in the south of Baiyue, it is Kuaiji.

If all the people here took refuge in Wu Rui, wouldn't the general of his Shangzhu State of Chu become a mere commander?
He had a quick temper and went to find Yafu Fan Zeng as soon as he got the news.

Fan Zeng couldn't make a decision, so he did a divination first.

After the hexagram appeared, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked: "Yafu, if you want me to tell you, you should call directly. How can a little Wu Rui still be my opponent!"

Fan Zeng shook his head: "The hexagram is divided into yin and yang, and the sun is the best, and the whole yin and the whole yang are the extreme. If the yin and yang are divided into two, it is difficult to tell the truth. Just now I found out through divination that the fate of Qin is not broken. At this moment, if we first internalize If you spend too much, you will make wedding dresses for others.”

Xiang Yuke didn't understand these yin and yang gossip, looked at Fan Zeng in front of him and asked anxiously: "Yafu, just tell us what we should do?"

"Simple, form an alliance with Wu Rui!"

"Alliance? You asked me to form an alliance with him. Isn't it a joke! Besides, this guy is poaching my corner now. If I don't make a move, I'm afraid all the people under him will be drawn by him."

Fan Zeng said with a smile: "The reason why everyone was dragged away by him is because they think Wu Rui can protect their lives. As long as you find a way to make everyone surrender, everyone will naturally be willing to obey your orders."

Xiang Yu rubbed his head, as if he understood something.

Fan Zeng shouted to the outside: "Xiang Zhuang!"

Outside the door, Xiang Zhuang came in and bowed respectfully to Fan Zeng: "Yafu!"

"Call the ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the chiefs of the Yue tribe, to the hall immediately!"

Xiang Zhuang responded and quickly went to handle it.

Looking at Xiang Yu who looked puzzled beside him, Fan Zeng could only tell him all about his plan.

After half an hour, the ministers of civil and military affairs in Kuaiji and the leaders of the barbarians arrived one after another.

It's just that it's different from the past, everyone sitting here today looks a little restrained and uneasy.

Many people present also received Wu Rui's letter, but the main reason why they are still sitting here is because they haven't weighed it clearly in their hearts.

In troubled times, faith is nonsense, and only survival is the most important thing.

If Xiang Yu can achieve great things, they will naturally follow Xiang Yu.Conversely, if Wu Rui is the most powerful, they will also follow Wu Rui.

Just as they were thinking wildly, Fan Zeng walked in first.

Seeing Fan Zeng coming in, the group of people got impatient and asked him, "Military division, where is the general?"

"Yeah, we still have a lot of things to deal with, so please come out earlier."

"That's right!"

Fan Zeng looked at the leaders of the barbarians around him and said with a smile: "Everyone, please rest assured, I am asking you to come today because I have something important to do. Rest assured, the general will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers outside the house surrounded the area, aiming their bows and arrows at everyone present. If anything went wrong, someone would be killed on the spot at any time.

Looking at the murderous soldiers in front of them, everyone panicked.

"Fan Zeng, what are you doing?"

"Yes, what exactly do you want to do?"

Fan Zeng stood there quietly, only hearing a thunder outside the house, and a majestic man appeared there.

"What are you doing? I have to ask what you all did behind my back."

Everyone was startled suddenly, and when they looked back, they were all slightly dazed.

I saw Xiang Yu's two long legs stretched apart, air pressure in his dantian, his face was full of unprecedented solemnity, his eyes were bloodshot, and the muscles all over his body obviously swelled more than a circle against the armor.On the palm of his right arm, he resolutely held a huge bronze tripod.

"crunch, crunch!"

There was a slight friction sound between the bronze tripod and his skin.

Xiang Yu held the tripod in front of everyone and walked in step by step.

Everyone who was still dissatisfied saw the last trace of pride turned into pain when they saw Xiang Yu descending to earth like a god in front of them, and their eyes were full of timidity and worry.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiang Yu lifted the tripod up to the center of the hall before putting it down.

"Boom..."

The heavy voice echoed all around, and it could not dissipate for a long time.

"Good, good, good!" Uncle Xiang looked at Xiang Yu in front of him and applauded excitedly, and Fan Zeng was also carefully observing the changes in the expressions of everyone present.

Xiang Yu looked at all the people present and roared: "I know what you think in your heart, and I will tell you, whoever betrays me, Xiang Yu, even if it is all over the world, I will definitely smash him to pieces. But whoever joins me to overthrow Tyranny, In the future, the world will be determined, and I, Xiang Yu, would like to share wealth and honor with all of you."

Seeing what Xiang Yu said, everyone present also understood what he meant, fearing his strength, they all patted their chests and said that they had no second thoughts, and wished that life and death would be with them.

Fan Zeng looked at these interesting guys in front of him and nodded slightly.

As long as the hearts of the people are there, the state of Chu must belong to the Xiang family.

Everyone was very happy, but only Xiang Bo was a little upset.

At this moment, looking at Xiang Yu, he felt a little sour, and he only hated his own incompetence, otherwise he would have to frighten these people with his fists.
