An aristocratic son travels to the land of beautiful horses and fireworks, raising his hands and throwing thousands of gold, just to win the smile of a beautiful woman.
The most detestable thing is that the lovely wife and concubine in their family, like the young boy kneeling in front of him, has spent twenty years in his life with an old cow as a companion at home, and she ruthlessly left him on the way back.
Not to mention the beauty's smile, he has never seen a woman a few times. He is afraid of poverty and misses women so much that he wants to get gold even if he dies.
The two guards stood with swords in their hands, full of murderous intent. After a short confrontation, Liu Bowen waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat.
"Five hundred and fifty gold, I can give it to you!"
Liu Bowen got up and left for a cup of tea. When he returned, two guards behind him found five hundred and fifty gold in the wooden tray.
"boom!"
The wooden plate was placed in front of the man, and the golden ingot shone brightly. The man seemed to see the naked beauty, his face was drooling, and his eyes were burning.
"Tell me, where is he?"
"I am at my house, which is in the barren mountains ten miles outside Jingyang City. You can go with me now."
"Come here, send an order to General Zhang Fei and ask him to take his men out of the city overnight and bring Na Ya'a back!"
The two guards took the man away. Liu Hong watched the five hundred and fifty gold being taken away from him, his heart bleeding.
"Sir, five hundred and fifty gold, just give it to him?"
"Why, are you going to kill him and get the gold back?"
"I, Chu, have governed the country with integrity. I only have five hundred and fifty gold. Not only can I get back General Naya'a, but I can also demonstrate the prestige of my country, Chu. Why not do it?"
"This five hundred and fifty gold is well spent!"
Liu Bowen didn't want to embarrass the man. He was born in poverty, had extravagant hopes for life, and had no fault. Besides, if Na Yaa hadn't promised that the token could be exchanged for five hundred gold, how would he have come to Jingyang City overnight?
Na Ya'anai was Emperor Chu's personal bodyguard. Should he be accused of being dishonest?
Liu Hong looked surprised. Looking at Liu Bowen's leaving figure, he couldn't help but start to have bad thoughts in his heart. He turned around and walked quickly outside the government office.
Before I knew it, the day passed quietly.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's troops gathered at the foot of Daqing Mountain not far from Nanyang City. At this time, Emperor Chu led Sun Jian and his generals to arrive, and the mighty army came. The ground shook and the mountains shook with great momentum.
"The last generals Luo Cheng, Zhao Ponu, Nangong Changwan, and Aobai are here to meet Your Majesty!"
The generals quickly stepped forward to salute, but did not find Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. The Emperor of Chu signaled the generals to stand up and ordered the food, grass and baggage to be stored first.
"Luo Cheng, send a scout to inform Wei Qing that General Huo Qubing will return to the Daqingshan camp immediately!"
Generals Huo and Wei led the cavalry to harass the coalition forces. Now that the food, grass, baggage, and materials and equipment have arrived, the Emperor of Chu has the latest deployment. It is time to take the initiative to attack and show some color to the eighteen enemy countries.
Afternoon.
Outside the Daqingshan camp, the rumble of horse hooves was heard, dust filled the sky and blocked out the sun, and the earth trembled slightly. Following the sound, Emperor Chu knew that it was Wei Qing and General Huo Qubing returning.
As expected, soon Wei Qing and Huo Qubing grabbed their helmets with one hand and the broad sword at their waist with the other, and walked quickly into the tent.
The two generals were about to salute when they saw Emperor Chu stepping forward quickly to help them up and said: "The two generals have been fighting for several months and have made great achievements. They are my meritorious ministers of Chu. There is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly and give me a speech."
Let me tell you about the situation in Nanyang City."
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing sat down, placed their helmets on the wooden anchor in front of them, and said: "Your Majesty, the three generals Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, and Ran Min led an army of 200,000 to be trapped in Nanyang City. Before entering the city, they carried up to
Hold on for ten days, eight days have passed now, if we can't resolve the crisis in Nanyang, I'm afraid the soldiers in the city will be in danger."
Huo Qubing spoke. Emperor Chu nodded slightly and looked at Wei Qing. His expression was solemn and he heard doubts.
"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Xiang Yu, has such terrifying force, and his generals are also extremely brave. Under Nanyang City, the two generals Ran Min and Li Cunxiao have never defeated Xiang Yu. Logically speaking, with the strength of the coalition forces, they can completely break through Nanyang City.
But Xiang Yu is trapped and refuses to attack, and the general will be puzzled at all."
"General Wei, Xiang Yu besieged and refused to attack five days ago. He wanted to fight against the trapped beasts. When the food and grass in Nanyang City are cut off and the army under Bai Qi's generals will lose their combat effectiveness, he will turn his troops to attack Daqing Mountain.
.”
"Recently, Xiang Yu has guessed that I am coming to Jingyang City in person, so he is waiting for me to appear and wants to annihilate our Chu army in one fell swoop. This is a once and for all strategy."
Emperor Chu explained. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing nodded frequently, suddenly realizing that while they admired Emperor Chu, they couldn't help but feel that Xiang Yu was very scheming.
"Two generals, don't worry. I have arrived. Not only will I resolve the crisis in Nanyang, I will also completely defeat the coalition forces in this battle."
"The weapons in the hands of my Chu soldiers must be stained with blood, otherwise other countries will think that I am easy to bully!"
"Two generals, follow me to the baggage storage place. I have brought you some good things when you come here!"
The Emperor of Chu led the two men away from the tent. At this time, the soldiers of the three armies were unloading their food, grass and baggage. The three of them strode forward, and other generals also gathered around them.
.............
at this time.
Outside Nanyang City.
In the coalition camp.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Xiang Yu's face was livid and terrifying. He seemed to be holding something tightly in his hand, and he heard angry sounds.
"My father, the Chu Emperor's announcement made the Allied Forces of the Eighteenth Empire full of suspicion. They were originally a scattered coalition, but now they are even more divided. How should I resolve the current predicament and unite the Eighteenth Empire Army?"
"Marshal, don't worry. This is a heart-rending plan by Emperor Chu. Its main purpose is to harm the Longtang Empire. As long as the marshal summons the generals from all over the world and tells them that after conquering Chu, they will still allocate cities according to the alliance contract, and at the same time promise the generals from all over the world to come."
, if the Longtang Empire really takes the opportunity to sweep across all countries, the Zhanlong Empire will be the first to bear the brunt and unite against Longtang again."
A hoarse voice came from behind the screen, followed by a soft clicking sound, and a gray-haired, energetic old man appeared. He held a scepter in his hand and walked out.
The person who came was none other than Xiang Yu's sub-father, Fan Zeng.
In history, Fan Zeng advised Xiang Yu during the Peasant War at the end of Qin Dynasty, and was honored as "Yafu" by him.
Fan Zeng devoted himself to Xiang Yu's cause of hegemony, and saw that Liu Bang was Xiang Yu's biggest opponent in conquering the world. He repeatedly explained to Xiang Yu the stakes of killing Liu Bang to avoid future troubles and ensure the country. However, Xiang Yu was loyal, suspicious and arrogant.
Some people believed that killing Liu Bang was an unjust act and would be detrimental to their reputation of attaching great importance to love and righteousness.
On the other hand, he arrogantly believed that Liu Bang was not enough to pose a threat to his cause of conquering the world in terms of intelligence and military strategy, so he was reluctant to kill Liu Bang. Chen Ping's counterintuitive tactics easily caused Xiang Yu to become alienated and suspicious of Fan Zeng.
, Fan Zeng, as a loyal minister, dedicated his whole life to Xiang Yu but in exchange for Xiang Yu's alienation, Fan Zeng could only lament that he could not meet the Ming Lord.
After Fan Zeng's death, Xiang Yu realized Fan Zeng's painstaking efforts and his misunderstanding of Fan Zeng after being advised by other advisers.
Historically, Fan Zeng assisted Xiang Yu. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the War Continent, Xiang Yu was still the overlord, the overlord of the War Dragon Empire, and Fan Zeng was still his father-in-law, an unparalleled strategist who advised him.
"Father, is this really feasible?"
"If such a promise is really made, it may push the Zhanlong Empire to the forefront and turn against the First-Rank Dragon Tang. I am afraid that Zhanlong's current strength is not enough to compete with it."
Xiang Yu looked worried, but Fan Zeng smiled calmly, raised his hand to signal Xiang Yu to take a seat, and said: "Commander, the world is in chaos, how can the commander be the dragon among men, how can he stay under others for a long time, this time the coalition forces are attacking Chu, he is the commander
This opportunity will win over people's hearts. Once the Chu State is captured, everything will be available, and you can establish yourself as king and look down on the world."
"The Kingdom of Chu has been destroyed. Land, people, food, grass, money, everything is ready. Doesn't the marshal even have the courage to become king?"
"After so many years of keeping a low profile, the Marshal has full wings and a solid foundation. There will eventually be a place for the Marshal in this world!"
"Under current circumstances, it is much faster to establish yourself as king than to usurp the throne by killing the king!"
Hear the sound.
Xiang Yu fell into deep thought, and Fan Zeng revealed his hidden ambitions in his heart. Now he finally understood why Fan Zeng must let him win the position of leader of the alliance. (To be continued)
