Chapter 647: Farewell My Concubine (Part 2)

"Inappropriate."

Liu Yu glanced at Yuan Shu indifferently, as if to see through him. Under Liu Yu's gaze, Yuan Shu stepped back with a smile.

Princes such as Yuan Shao and Liu Bei only led some of their elite troops because the distance from their territory was too far. Therefore, if we were to judge by military strength, then the alliance leader must be Yuan Shu who brought the most troops.

"Yu Gong thinks, how should we choose the alliance leader?" Liu Bei asked.

After Liu Yu glanced at all the princes, his eyes finally fell on Li Shimin, and he smiled lightly and said: "I believe that the leader of the alliance should be the one who has made the greatest contribution to the Ming Dynasty."

Liu Yu's implication was to let Li Shimin be the leader of the alliance. After all, who here has made more contributions than Li Shimin in defeating Chen Liu?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shimin. Seeing this, Li Yuan smiled and said: "The Marquis of Yan is joking, how can a child have such qualifications?"

"No, Cao Cao also believes that General Li Shimin is the best candidate to lead the alliance." Cao Cao said with a hearty smile.

"Prefect Cao, you..."

Li Yuan's eyes flashed with disbelief, but then Song Jiang also said: "General Li Shimin will be the leader of the alliance, and I, Song Jiang, am convinced."

"I, Yang Jian, think that Shimin's wise nephew can be the leader of the alliance." Yang Jian said with a smile.

Seeing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. His son's contribution was indeed great, but it was not enough to command the princes, right?

At this moment, Li Shimin also stood up. Li Yuan originally thought that his son would refuse, but things turned out far beyond his expectation.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of determination, and he said sincerely: "The eldest brother and the three younger brothers all died at the hands of Xiang Yu. If Li Shimin can serve as the leader of the alliance today, he will do his best and swear to kill Xiang Yu."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally they raised their hands and said in unison: "Greetings to the leader."

Li Yuan was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth, but he felt extremely happy in his heart.

The world only knows Qin Hao, son of Qin Wen, but I, Shimin, son of Li Yuan, will never be worse than Qin Hao in future achievements.

——————

After Li Shimin became the leader of the alliance, he immediately integrated the forces of various princes and divided the troops into five groups.

Li Shimin, Yang Jian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Yu each led a group to pursue and intercept Xiang Yu, and completely blocked all Xiang Yu's escape routes.

In the process of breaking out of the encirclement, although Xiang Yu caused great casualties to the Han army, the number of troops under his command became smaller and smaller.

The south is also the territory of the Han army. Unless Xiang Yu can break through all the way to Jiaozhou, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

Jiaozhou is more than a thousand miles away from Jianghuai. It is almost impossible for Xiang Yu's thousands of remaining soldiers to escape to Jiaozhou under the encirclement and interception of hundreds of thousands of Han troops.

So in everyone's eyes, Xiang Yu is dead.

——————

Nanyang, Wancheng.

When he received the news that Xiang Yu was being chased and intercepted by hundreds of thousands of Han troops, and his troops were getting smaller and smaller and were about to be wiped out, Qin Hao thought for a long time and finally made a surprising decision.

At the military and political meeting, Qin Hao ordered: "Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, Xiong Kuohai, Xue Rengui, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, you and other six people will lead a thousand light cavalry and follow me to the Jianghuai River."

Xun Yu stood up and asked: "My lord, why are you going to Jianghuai at this time?"

A trace of recollection flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and then he smiled and said: "In order to kill Xiang Yu, nearly half of the princes in the world mobilized. How can Qin Hao miss such a feast?"

When all the counselors heard this, they were shocked at the same time. The Lord was going to cause trouble again.

Liu Ji stood up and advised: "My lord, Nanyang is now..."

"Okay, okay."

Qin Hao interrupted impatiently and said firmly: "There is no need to persuade me anymore, I have given up my intention to leave."

The reason why Qin Hao goes to Jianghuai is of course not because he wants to attend some kind of feast out of boredom, he just wants to send his opponent off for the last time.

Xiang Yu, are you finally going to die? Why am I not happy at all? Qin Hao thought with extremely complicated thoughts.

——————

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, you two will lead three hundred cavalry and go with me to the Jianghuai River."

Cao Xing was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "My lord, there is a war over there in Jianghuai, what are you doing over there at this time?"

Lu Bu's eyes flashed with sadness, and he said calmly: "Go and see an old friend off."

——————

Under the siege and interception of the Han army, Xiang Yu took advantage of every opportunity to break through the weak points of the Han army, and even he did not know where he was.

In the end, Xiang Yu broke through to an unknown river mouth, and there were only a hundred riders left beside him.

Looking at the relatively fast river, Xiang Yu asked: "What is the name of this river?"

"This place is Wujiang River."

"Wujiang?"

Xiang Yu's pupils shrank, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Is this my fate?"

More than four hundred years ago, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, committed suicide here, and Wujiang became famous throughout the world.

More than four hundred years later, Xiang Yu, who had been reborn, fled to Wujiang again, which is really surprising.

Boom...Boom...Boom...

Countless cavalry galloped toward the river mouth and surrounded Xiang Yu and more than a hundred cavalry in a semicircle.

Baiqi was already in a fighting stance, but the center of the cavalry queue made way, and Li Shimin rode out slowly on a white horse.

"Xiang Yu, this is the burial place I carefully selected for you. I wonder if you still like it?"

Li Shimin looked at Xiang Yu and sneered: "The descendants of Overlord Xiang Ji, the new generation of Overlord Xiang Yu, have now committed suicide in Wujiang River. Both generations of overlords have committed suicide in Wujiang River. This will definitely become a good story and be praised for generations to come."<

/p>

"Really?"

Xiang Yu glanced at Wujiang behind him, turned to Li Shimin, and said calmly: "But who told you that I would kill myself?"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with joy, and he sneered: "You can still retain your final dignity by committing suicide, but you will only bring humiliation to yourself by stubbornly resisting."

Xiang Yu was silent, then sighed and said: "Li Shimin, you really worked hard to kill me."

"You have the qualifications."

The corners of Li Shimin's lips curled up slightly and he sneered: "I said before Hulao Pass that if you can't kill me, you will definitely die at my hands in the future. Do you regret now that you didn't try your best to kill me?"

"I, Xiang Yu, never regret anything I do."

Xiang Yu stared at Li Shimin and said coldly: "If you want to take my head, then come and get it yourself."

As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, several warships arrived from the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, and then there was a shout that was very familiar to him.

"Husband..."

Xiang Yu turned his head and saw that standing on the bow of the boat was his wife, Yu Shilan, whom he was marrying but always respected as a guest.

Xiang Yu gripped the Overlord Halberd tightly and was ready for a deadly fight, but Li Shimin did not stop him from boarding the ship.
