The Conqueror Isn't Alone

The 30 Chu troops returned to Xianyang without any haste. Not long ago, they dispatched two generals, Zhang Han and Zhong Lixuan, to command

They went to gather Xiang Yu, who was in the former Qin Zhenbei army, and soon got the news.

After the fall of the former Qin Dynasty, there was no king to be loyal to, and Zhenbei, which was supplied with grain and grass, was also lost.

The army has been suffering for several years, and it couldn't hold on any longer a month ago, and finally fell apart.

Except for a few soldiers who miss their families and return home even after traveling long distances, most of them

Choose to disperse around the resident area, or work in agriculture, or become the minions of local tyrants.

Because of this, Zhang Han and Zhong Lixuan were ordered to go this time, although they only brought ten thousand

It is enough to deal with this kind of scene by being in the limelight.

Zhang Han, who used to be the former Qin Shaofu, is familiar to many of the former Qin generals.

Seeing him desert the court,

After surrendering to Xiang Yu instead, not only did he live a good life, but he also rose to the top again, shouldering important positions...

Standing in front of such a living example, Ben was still a little swaying

The indeterminate soldiers of the Zhenbei Army quickly made up their minds and expressed their willingness to surrender.

Although it took a lot of effort, but with Zhang Han's strong call and Zhong Lixuan's great efforts

After a month of rectification, the Zhenbei lions that had been scattered for only one month gathered together like a river flowing into the sea.

Soldiers who have guarded the border for many years put on their armor again

, holding a weapon, holding his head high and chest high, arranging the military formation arrogantly, all of them are chilling and cold, and there is no strangeness in their appearance.

Whether it's been in chaos for years

[-]. Xiang Yu led the Chu army to dominate the land of the Central Plains; it was the northern army that was displaced and disbanded at a loss and was recruited and then coordinated; these two big movements,

All aroused the high vigilance of the Xiongnu Chanyu Modun.

Since he killed his father and seized the throne, Maodun has forbeared and shown weakness in the face of Donghu's looting several times.

until the other side

When he completely relaxed his vigilance and underestimated him, he raised his troops brazenly. Not only did he easily kill King Donghu who had humiliated him time and time again, but he also robbed the enemy of all the people and property

.

Mao Dun is proud of the 30 sergeants under his command, all of them are good players on horseback, and they are very good at drawing bows and archery.

However, he also knows that there are more troops in the Central Plains——

There are a total of 30 troops guarding the northern gateway to the fertile Central Plains, not to mention those who stand in front of his iron hooves, and the high-ranking troops who are called cavalry and fine bows can't do anything about it.

Great towering city wall.

Although I have been envious of Woye in the south for a long time, I also know that the hateful Northern Army is like a centipede, and Maodun, who is dead but not stiff, is extremely cautious

.

Seeing that the Zhenbei army was still there, he simply took advantage of the melee among the princes and the situation was unclear, and continued to send troops westward to drive away the Yuezhi, and then marched southward to annex Loufan and other forces.

However, after he waited and waited, the Zhenbei army finally collapsed and collapsed without any attack. He knew that the defense of the former Qinbei land that was taken away by Qin general Meng Tian in the past was almost nothing.

The timing was just about to turn the tide, but the situation took a turn for the worse!

The former Qin general Zhang Han and the Chu emperor's confidant general Zhong Lixuan went north together, and they rushed to attack before him.

On the eve of that day, the 30 Northern Army that had been lingering since Yingzheng's death and made him feel like a stick in his throat was put together again!

Even though Mao Dun hated him greatly, he had to

Think otherwise.

From this, it can be seen that the emperor of the Central Plains attached great importance to the town's frontier army, so if he wanted to take back Hetao County, it would be more difficult...

Can't stop

What is known is that the new emperor surnamed Xiang, under the supervision of Ai Jiang, not only wants to reorganize the former Qin army, but even intends to expand the territory in the Northern Expedition.

For Xiang Yuhu

The act of caring about the defense of northern Xinjiang not only touched the Xiongnu Shanyu who had a stake in it, but also touched the mind of a Qi man called Lou Jing.

He was stationed in Longxi, often

He often needs to deal with foreigners, and he is very familiar with it.

He keenly sensed that this might be his chance to get ahead, so he did not hesitate to leave his post and came all the way to Xianyang

, and worked hard to entrust the recommendation of a general who is also from Qi, so he got the opportunity to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.

Seeing that he was still wearing the usual brown clothes seen outside the Great Wall, with a dusty look

He looked like a servant, and he was about to enter the palace to face the saint. The former Qi general who recommended him couldn't help dissuading him: "I have ordered my servant to prepare clothes for the king. Why don't you take a bath and change clothes before going to see him?"

But Lou Jing said eloquently: "If I wear silk, I will meet with silk; if I wear brown, I will meet with brown. I will keep my original appearance, and I don't want to deceive the emperor!"

see

He insisted on this, and the former Qi general felt uneasy all the time, so he had to enter the palace first and tell Xiang Yu what he said.

After Xiang Yu listened quietly, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Said: "The original appearance?"

Seeing that His Majesty was in a bad mood, the former General Qi was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, and buried his head lower on the spot.

If you want to be independent, give him

Lou Jing, who caused such trouble, cursed a hundred times in his heart.

Xiang Yu said coldly: "If he sticks to his true self, why should he leave his post and come to Xianyang?"

With such ulterior motives, it would be opportunistic.

Others don't imitate, but dare to imitate Ai Yuu who still wears his shirt on the reward day and sees him in his true colors!

A deep disgust flashed across Xiang Yu's eyes.

Feng Xian did it in a dignified and proud manner, which only made him feel refreshing and straightforward, very...cute.

And full of utilitarianism

Lou Jing, who is obsequious and flattering but still conceals it, is nothing more than an imitation of Dongshi, painting a tiger like a dog.

If it weren't for Lu Bu who said several times that "a wise man may make a mistake, and a fool may also have a thousand thoughts."

As soon as he got it, the king should listen to the opinions of others', he said, he had already kicked this person out.

——I have long forgotten where I heard this word, and I didn’t even look at the innocent man beside me.

The Lu Bu who was thinking about Li Chezi, who was not low-key, never expected that Xiang Hanzi, who was always indifferent in everything, seemed to be full of majesty but didn't pay much attention, would say everything he said.

Remember clearly.

Seeing that the general was trembling all over and didn't dare to raise his head, Xiang Yu said calmly, "If he doesn't want to take a bath and change clothes, he doesn't have to come to the palace."

Hearing this, the general who was already drenched in sweat finally felt alive again.

He quickly agreed, and when he returned to the mansion, he immediately killed Lou who almost killed him.

Give me a scolding meal.

If His Majesty hadn't personally told him to tell this, he might have driven Lou Jing away, so why would he care about the feeling of fellow Qi people!

suffered a

After spitting all over his head and face, Lou Jing was angry in his heart, but he held back his face and apologized flatteringly to the general who was almost implicated.

If he is really a tough guy who doesn't care about fame and fortune

Head, following his temper, flicked his sleeves and left.

But he came all the way here in a desperate attempt to seize the opportunity and make a big splash.

return?

So I had no choice but to swallow this breath, take a bath honestly, change into the gorgeous court clothes, and then enter the palace.

However, Emperor Chu obviously had government affairs to deal with, and it was enough for him to

Lou Jing waited respectfully outside the hall for two hours, his legs were sore and his neck was stiff, so he summoned him.

Just thinking about the words, it took a full two hours, and finally

Xiang Yu was very satisfied with the completed letter to Fengxian.

When Lou Jing was summoned, he was still in a good mood: "Why are you here?"

Lou Jing bowed and asked, "Listen

Hearing that His Majesty recruited the Zhenbei Army, he must have intended to guard against the Huns who are in full swing! "

Xiang Yu said lightly: "Oh?"

Seeing that Xiang Yu was noncommittal, Lou Jing thought

Slightly tighter, but still calmly said: "If your majesty really means this, I have some humble opinions, I wonder if your majesty would like to hear it."

Xiang Yu gave an indifferent "hmm".

Lou Jing heaved a sigh of relief, turned his heart, and continued, "There is no reason to guard against bandits for a thousand days in the world. Your Majesty personally charged into battle on horseback and conquered all directions.

Although it is understandable to attach importance to military power in winning the world, it is not appropriate to use force lightly to govern the world.It should be noted that the soldiers are wearing hard and sharp, longing for rest; the farmers have no time to cultivate,

Longing for stability; the people are tired, longing for harmony.If His Majesty fights again, how will there be a day to rest and restore national strength? "

Xiang Yu said expressionlessly: "Speak.

"

Although it was only three simple words, Lou Jing seemed to be greatly encouraged, and said: "I have a rough plan, which may be beneficial to long-term public security. I don't know your Majesty.

I would like to hear it. "

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

If Lu Bu was here, he must have seen that this idiot was extremely impatient and could only forcefully suppress his temper.

Xiang Yushen

Voice: "Speak."

Lou Jing was deeply excited: "If Your Majesty is willing to choose a daughter from the clan, make her the eldest princess, and put a generous dowry on her to show her friendship...

...Exchanging the relatives of Weng and his son-in-law in exchange for Maodun's promise not to violate the Central Plains, wouldn't it be possible to solve the crisis in the North without spending a single soldier?However, a dowry in Shequ District can save 30 townships.

The military resources of the northern generals—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Xiang Yu, who had been listening silently without any reaction, suddenly drew his sword!

The sound of drawing a sword out of its sheath

As soon as the sound came out, the silver light flashed across, and Lou Jing, who had no reaction to this, was still frozen in the moment of impassioned enthusiasm, and his head was cut off with a sharp sword.

Fly far away.

Blood spurted out, and Xiang Yu kicked the corpse expressionlessly, causing the body that was still stiff in place to fall to the ground.

"Marriage?

"

Xiang Yu had a cold and hostile air all over his body, and he muttered to himself with frost in his eyes.

On the side of the couch, how can we allow wolves to snore and sleep?

This man's intentions are truly deplorable—not only admonishing him to indulge the jackal

Wolves, tigers and leopards, even advised him to cut their flesh and feed them, for fear that it would not be a disaster in the future!

Although the Central Plains has been war-torn for a long time, the foundation is still there, and the most fertile Guanzhong land has been in recent years.

It has been carefully cared for and has been fully restored to life.

Even if it is only supported by military supplies in Guanzhong, it is more than enough.

What's more, he has nearly 60 Chuxiong troops under his command.

Invincible, invincible, Megatron Quartet.

In Lou Jing's mouth, it is necessary to sacrifice a weak woman to a barbarian leader who murdered his father, wife and mother, and has no manners, justice or shame.

To kneel down... how absurd, how ridiculous!

A beast that can kill even its biological father, but it still expects it to respect the gift of a son-in-law and respect his father-in-law?

this loud

Jing is shameless, full of contradictory nonsense, only one sentence is correct: in this world, there is indeed no reason to guard against thieves a thousand days ago.

Xiang Yu thought while thinking,

He called in his own soldiers and ordered them to drag Lou Jing's body away.

However, whether he is good or Fengxian, the real intention of such a painstaking effort is just to be on guard day and night?

L

Husband eliminates troubles, he must be intimidated by the blade, and the enemy will be subdued by blood violence, and he will build an invincible feat!

Xiang Yu wiped the edge of the sword quietly, and returned the sword to the sheath.

- everything is ready now

, just waiting for Fengxian to return, and it happens that at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, he and his love will join the Northern Expedition against the Huns.

Xiang Yu's thoughts moved slightly, and he walked slowly to the window unconsciously, looking at the

In the west, there are many mountains and fields, and you are in a leisurely trance.

——You Fengxian fought side by side with him with one heart, and the mighty Chu army will be invincible everywhere with iron hooves.

First

93 chapter

The letter carrying the secret expectations of the Emperor Chu hurriedly sent it to Lu Bu's army who was about to leave Hanzhong within eight days.

Lu Bu is still sluggish right now.

Damn, his mind was full of Liu Mouse who was accidentally kicked to death by him.

Even if he is a clay figurine, he can still be annoyed by Xiang Hanzi——Free Bashu Army

From the day of the return journey, it was full of battles and calculations, but it took only ten days of troops, but it was very fast to reach Hanzhong.

But that Handi's reminder letter came very quickly, three

I have to come back every two days.

Even though he had wings on his back, he didn't fly back so quickly!

At first, Lu Bu took the letter and discussed carefully with the cheap brother, looking for

Thinking about how to respond is appropriate.

Up to now, if he didn't kick the messenger back with a bad face, he would have treated Emperor Chu a little bit.

- urge urge urge, urge

Damn it!

Lv Bu nodded to the messenger expressionlessly, and received the letter as soon as he saluted.

Perhaps he even dared to use his old fists for the second time, even the emperor of Chu

Wu Jian's reputation was too loud, so that he was so contemptuous and rude, and the messenger didn't feel wronged at all.

After entering the room, Lu Bu weighed it casually, and this time it seemed that there was something wrong with it.

The weight is stronger than before, somehow, I feel it.

Inexplicably, he stopped thinking about handing over to Han Xin, turned a corner by accident, bypassed the

Brother Cheap, who was contemplating something, sneakily came to his desk and sat down.

That idiot, why did you write so much this time!

To be sealed with bamboo slips

After the rope was untied, Lu Bu spread it absently, and while yawning, he murmured unconsciously: "I miss the beauty, I'm standing here while she bleeds—"

Desk

The sound of being knocked over suddenly was not insignificant, and even Han Xin, who was deep in thought and did not know his age, was awakened.

Seeing that these days, he has been downcast and calm like a clay puppet.

The younger brother, who was unwilling to move at all, was sitting at the desk that had been overturned for some reason, his fair skin was flushed, and the expression between his brows and eyes was as if he had seen a ghost.

in love...

Han Xin was full of doubts, but before he had time to think about it, he hurried forward and said, "My dear brother——"

"do not come!"

Lu Bu turned pale with fright, thinking about it

Stop wanting to shout loudly!

For the first time, in a flustered gesture that could be called a rush, he picked up the Emperor Chu's personal letter that was overturned on the ground by the desk, without thinking.

He put it in his bosom: "It's all right, Bu Fang accidentally slipped his hand...Brother Han, hurry up and go."

After hastily dropping these words, Lu Bu rubbed the soles of his feet with oil,

I don't know where to go.

Han Xin, who had an inexplicable face, looked at his back that quietly appeared and then disappeared suddenly, as if written with the words "to cover up", Fox

He frowned suspiciously.

Lu Bu tensed his face, and under the bow of the soldiers all the way, rushed back to his dormitory, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

As soon as he regained his composure, he couldn't help cursing that bastard Handi again in his heart!

Damn it, this kind of fast horse transmission that should only be used in emergency military newspapers is called that don't want it.

The big fool with the face is using it to do things around, copying out such... making people... uncomfortable poems and sending them here!

When I thought of myself just unconsciously chanting, I almost

Pointing to read the poem in front of Brother Cheap, Lu Bu still felt lingering fear.

As if he had caught a hot potato, he quickly closed the door as soon as he closed it.

He took out the letter with incredible content from his pocket, threw it on the couch, and stared at it as if facing a formidable enemy.

I don't know how long it took, the hair on his body that exploded gradually smoothed out.

, couldn't hold back his curiosity, walked over slowly, and opened it again.

... Although that idiot is a reckless man with a sword and a gun, his handwriting is not bad.

Lu Bu continued to read silently with a straight face.

After all, although he has received frequent glances from beauties, let alone the warm and fragrant embrace of nephrite jade, he is so lingering and sentimental

The love poems...but this is really the first time it came out of the mother's womb.

He was almost restless, raised his head from time to time to be vigilant about his surroundings, and recited the song "Thinking of the Beauty" awkwardly.

After I finished, my heart beat as fast as a drum, and my face was even hotter.

He originally thought that he could at most make a copy of Quzi's poems with his stupid head.

Unexpected

Although half of it is the same, the second half is changed beyond recognition... full of affection.

Lu Bu uncomfortably sealed the letter again, and after hiding it deep in the burden, he suddenly thought of

What, can't help but darken.

There was also a nameless evil fire, which suddenly burned in my heart.

That's right, blame him for underestimating that idiot.

Can pronounce 'Yu' in Jedi

Xiyu Xinai Ruohe's naive brain, how can there be no set of rhetoric?

——That idiot has an elm head, but he has opened up all his senses to this crooked way!

Unexpectedly, Han Xin didn't know his virtuous brother's ups and downs. He waited in the room for a while, but when he didn't see his virtuous brother coming back, he finally couldn't help but was full of worries, so he came to find him himself.

However this

It doesn't matter if you look for it, but in the past few days, my good brother, who has been listless and lacks interest in everything, has completely recovered for some reason and is full of energy...

even murderous

Teng Teng look.

Where did the sacred letter come from just now?

Rao is Han Xin who is usually not very curious, and now he can't help but ignite

A little bit of inquiry.

Seeing the vigilant look on the younger brother's face, and the obvious posture of guarding against this secret, Han Xin could only force his thoughts down, and instead mentioned him.

something happened.

But now that my brother has regained his spirits, there is no need to stay in Hanzhong City any longer.

So early the next morning, the Chu army returning from the Western Expedition left Hanzhong.

, Re-advance to Xianyang.

Ever since he learned from the messenger soldiers that General Ai had arrived in Hanzhong and could return to Xianyang in at most six days, Xiang Yu was distracted while listening to court affairs.

The number of times has increased unknowingly.

Because of his stern appearance, his expression was dignified and majestic, so when Emperor Chu traveled to the sky in a fair and honest way,

None of the courtiers in the palace noticed.

Also called out of his mind, there is also Yafu Fan Zeng.

Because Lu Bu pushed him away from the post of prime minister, he only wanted to take the position of marquis and live in the army.

Fan Zeng, who had the second highest merit, became the prime minister's most obliging candidate.

But he knows that he is old, except for confidential matters, he is very happy to decentralize power.

The reason

Not greedy for power, but focused on cultivating young talents, so that after he left, besides Feng Xian, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, there would be virtuous courtiers to assist the still young and energetic king.

Fan Zeng looked at the majestic young emperor with concern, and sighed in his heart. At least he endured until after the court was over, before catching up with Xiang Yu, expressing his private remonstrance.

Although Xiang Yu cared about his beloved general who had not returned for a long time, he always respected Yafu who had made great contributions and worked hard.

Seeing Fan Zeng's solemn expression, obviously he had something important to discuss, so he solemnly looked down.

, retreated left and right, and personally led the person into the inner hall.

Fan Zeng took his seat and sighed: "A few days ago, Your Majesty personally beheaded the speaker of the surname Lou?"

Although this matter

It has not been reported to the court yet, but Xiang Yu never deliberately ordered to suppress this matter, and Lou Jing disappeared out of thin air, how could it not stir up some splashes?

Let Lou Jing enter the palace that day

The general of the former Qi Dynasty was restless for several days because of this, and after asking Lou Jing to leave the court, he was even more frightened, for fear of causing trouble to his upper body.

Xiang Yu said indifferently: "Of course."

Fan Zeng frowned.

Seeing Yafu's expression of hesitation and hesitation, Xiang Yu explained a few more words for the first time: "This man's intentions are not righteous, and he offers advice to hide adultery."

listen

After finishing the specific reasons, Fan Zeng's face softened a little, he still felt regretful in his heart, shook his head and said: "The name of the person who said the surname Lou is not known, His Majesty is willing to summon him in an unusual way, this is to accept advice

Uninhibited beauty..."

Even if Lou Jing talked nonsense and had ulterior motives, it was more than enough not to listen to him, or to reprimand him if he was serious.

The king himself slew,

But it can be called a gaffe.

Even in his ears, the speaker's heart can be punished, but outsiders can see that it is the emperor's self-willedness.

killed by the king.

Once this matter is publicized, where will the speaker be willing to put forward other opinions to His Majesty in the future?

Fan Zeng's earnest words show that Xiang Yu has always been silent.

, knowing that these remarks were not heard by the other party at all.

He was anxious and helpless, he retreated from the back of the palace, looked at the bright lights, and missed the seemingly straight, straight,

Fengxian, who is resourceful and can always persuade the king easily, came first.

If Feng is here first, why is it here?

Fan Zeng regretted deeply.

Even if it's too late

Stop, facing His Majesty's actions like this, with Fengxian's loyalty and courage, he will definitely beat him up——cough, Wu remonstrates.

How did Lu Bu know that in this huge Chudu, apart from

In addition to Handi who likes to ponder some love poems that make him sweat white hair when he has nothing to do, even old man Fan often talks about himself.

When he arrived at the long-lost Chu

Du Xianyang was stunned to see that the outside of the city was crowded with men, women and children who spontaneously came to welcome the Chu army who had won a great battle and recovered the two counties of Bashu, and cheered enthusiastically along the road!

It is completely different from the state of mind that lingered for a long time before Xiapi that day, when things were different and people changed, and finally chose to leave.

Lu Bu witnessed this scene, but he only remembered the time when he returned to Pengcheng from Lingbi.

The farce of the siege, and the Pengcheng elders who surrounded him with sincerity and enthusiasm... Although he was a little at a loss, he didn't hate it.

Even if the original majestic riding

Yushi, who was at the front of the queue with Brother Han and Li Zuoche, was thrown into a 'distress' by unknown wild flowers and fruits, and he miraculously did not feel angry.

Jade Lion is far more in line with a general who has just won a big battle than his performance, with his head held high and his chest strode forward.

It is snow-white all over, and it is always stained by the blood of the enemy on weekdays.

The startling red powder is mottled, but at this moment it is sprinkled with red and yellow petal crumbs, which looks high-spirited.

I'm just walking, but I haven't 'squeezed' into the crowd

The city gate on the west side, the noisy surroundings suddenly fell into silence.

The Jade Lion shook its ears uneasily, paved with its hooves on the spot...it refused to move.

What happened?

Lu Bu looked around in confusion.

Before he could capture any scene in the future, there was a very familiar sound of hurried hooves in his ears,

Heavy and powerful, he quickly approached him.

——There is a scorching sun in the sky, and there is an overlord coming on snow.

Except for the early court, it is still not good for the court uniform and the battle robe

Emperor Chu is dressed in silver and bright military uniform, riding his beloved horse on the snow and black sun, and it arrives in an instant like a gust of wind.

When the emperor came, no one dared to stand on the road.

Lian Han

The high-ranking generals of the Chu army, including Xin, hurriedly got off their horses and bowed respectfully.

Only Lu Bu narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, his waist was always straight, calm and proud

He stared at Emperor Chu.

Xiang Yu didn't feel anything wrong either, and stared intently at his sweetheart whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Looking at this, Emperor Chu's tightly pursed lips

It slowly melted like the first snow in spring, and a faint smile bloomed on the face that was always as cold as frost and snow.
