Chapter 25: Linking the princes
At the front of the crowd, a stunning woman in a dress stood on the pavilion.
Her eyes were bright, her skin was as jade as jade, and what was hanging around her waist was not a jade pendant but a short sword. The originally gentle and watery atmosphere of the southern water town had a hint of heroism out of thin air.
boom!
The roaring sound of horse hooves came from afar. After returning, the Chu cavalry looked excited and showed their best complexion and appearance in front of many people.
The woman turned a blind eye to these Chu army knights. After Feng Yuan's figure appeared, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.
"Yu Ji!"
Feng Yuan also saw the other party.
...
After the Chu army was in charge, the soldiers began to return home in turn with many rewards. Then, Feng Yuan, who had just ascended the throne of King of Chu, married the queen. The happy event was soon passed from Pengcheng to all directions.
As the strongest prince in the world, Feng Yuan's every move has attracted the attention of the princes in the world.
Any posture is over-interpreted by others.
Such a normal thing as marrying a queen.
In the mouths of some princes, they became successful and became arrogant, and began to become addicted to wine and sex.
After hearing these words, the princes who had witnessed Xiang Yu's victory in Julu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and no longer had that strong fear of Xiang Yu.
"How is Zifang? How many princes agree to the covenant now?"
Wancheng, Nanyang Prince's Mansion.
Liu Bang couldn't wait to ask Zhang Liang.
When he first became the King of Nanyang, Liu Bang was very happy and quickly brought his father, wife and children. After years of war, he could finally enjoy playing music and dancing.
But just a few days later, Zhang Liang came to the door.
Zhang Liang expressed his speculation about Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's enfeoffment of the princes, which immediately woke Liu Bang up.
Feng Yuan and Fan Zeng were divided into feudal princes and prepared to wipe out one by one, but they could not hide the intention of Zhang Liang.
Liu Bang was not his junior. He was still intoxicated in singing and dancing even though he knew there was danger. He immediately followed Zhang Liang's plan and began to contact Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Tianshi and other princes.
"Only Chen Yu agreed to join the alliance, the other princes were afraid that Xiang Yu would not dare to participate for the time being!"
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.
He was a little overestimated by the abilities of Huangshi Gong and the monks of the Hundred Schools.
Duke Huangshi claimed that he could mobilize hundreds of monks and persuade the princes of the world to form an anti-Chu alliance. But now only a few companies are willing to participate in the alliance.
"It seems that these wastes are equally equal to someone who takes the lead and then sits and watches!"
Liu Bang couldn't help but curse.
His mind was very fast, and he instantly thought of the reasons why these princes were not enthusiastic about the alliance.
The princes in the world are not capable of picking others' character.
They are nature to wait and see.
When Qin State defeated the six countries, the kings of the six countries, just like them, watched Qin State destroy other countries one by one.
"Master, now we can only wait for the opportunity!"
"Xiang Yu divided the three Qis and disturbed Zhao's territory. Zhao's territory and Qi's territory must be the first places to have an accident. After Xiang Yu sent troops, we must take this opportunity to send troops quickly!"
Zhang Liang said slowly.
Liu Bang immediately asked, "Where is the place to send troops?"
"Send troops north and attack Henan Wang Longqie!"
Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.
Only by capturing the Luoyang area occupied by King Longzhi of Henan can the connection between Xiang Yu and Guanzhong be cut off, and Longzhi is a Xiang general and has a great reputation.
Defeating the other side would allow Liu Bang to gain the reputation of calling on the princes.
As for the King of Xiangyang in the south, the threat is not as good as Long Qi. As long as a general divides his troops to block it, the threat from the south can be temporarily lifted.
"Long and..."
Liu Bang murmured to himself, his brows slightly frowned.
Long Qi is a general of the Chu camp, with a brave man, and there are also elite Chu troops from Xiangzhuang in Hangu Pass. If he cannot defeat Long Qi quickly, Xiangzhuang will be able to send people out to the pass to support him.
It's very difficult!
Liu Bang asked himself that he was afraid he could not do this. Cao Shen, Fan Kuai and others were not generals who could stand alone.
"My subordinates are still missing a general!"
When Zhang Liang saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking.
"General... Han Xin! The only soldier immortal who can defeat Xiang Yu is still a side general under the command of the Chu army! Alas, it is probably impossible to get the other party to join the King of Nanyang!"
Zhang Liang sighed in his heart.
He sent someone to inquire about Han Xin early, but the results he got were not satisfactory.
"I hope my mentor can come up with a way to defeat Long Ji!"
Zhang Liang was able to plan and was a pure strategist, so it was impossible to rely on him to lead troops to fight. Faced with the current dilemma, he could not think of many ways.
Huangshigong was the leader of the Huang-Lao School and his mentor, with extraordinary abilities.
Now Zhang Liang can only count on Huangshi Gong.
...
In June of the first year of the King of Chu, Qi was in chaos.
The King of Chu was furious and personally led his troops north, with Zhonglimei and Han Xin as his deputy general, leading 100,000 troops to Qi State.
After getting this message.
King Liu Bang of Nanyang sent small groups of troops to the north, gathering tens of thousands of elite troops. Soon after, the masters of the Huang-Lao School gathered a large number of monks from a hundred schools of thought to sneak into Luoyang, assassinating and besieging Long Qi.
Although Long Qi is extremely brave in the battle formation, his strength reaches the level of a general in the Heavenly Realm, and his power increases his own strength.
But facing a large number of masters from hundreds of schools, they are still outnumbered.
In the end, he was seriously injured and died.
The way Huangshi Gong dealt with Long Qi was to prevent the other party from entering the military camp and directly assassinate him...
In September of the first year of Chu, King Liu Bang of Nanyang gathered his troops north and took advantage of the situation to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains when Long Qi was seriously injured and died. The troops were at the foot of Luoyang.
Chen Yu led more than 100,000 troops to gather in Hedong and threatened Luoyang from the north.
In October of the first year of Chu, Luoyang City was broken and the world was shattered. The territory of Chu State was cut into two sections.
Xiang Zhuang was cautious in guarding Hangu Pass.
Under Hangu Pass.
Liu Bang gathered the soldiers and horses of Chen Yu and other princes, with a total of more than 300,000 troops. The flags were waving, and they were as dark as waves. They could not see the edge at first sight.
"King, we must break through Hangu Pass as soon as possible. Only by breaking through Hangu and taking over the land in Guanzhong can we be qualified to defeat Xiang Yu!"
In the middle of the battle formation, Zhang Liang, Chen Yu and others surrounded Liu Bang.
Looking at the wall in front of him, Zhang Liang couldn't help but remind him.
"I know!"
"Now Xiang Yu is still in Qi, and the one who is stationed in Hangu Pass is just a mere boy. With the power of Xiang Zhuang, how can we stop our army of princes?"
Liu Bang was a little excited at this time and laughed.
In the world, Xiang Yu was the only one who could make him feel afraid. At this time, Xiang Zhuang, the guardian of Hangu Pass, was not taken seriously by him.
The Hangu Pass in front of us has greatly reduced its importance since the Qin State wiped out the six countries. For decades, there have been few renovations.
It is claimed to be able to withstand the dangerous obstacles of the six countries, but has been breached several times.
Liu Bang believed that the pass in front of him would definitely not be able to stop his troops.
"Report...emergency military information!"
