At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 138, Fan Zeng and Wuzhong confront the troubled Chen Ying

The Xiang family only sent Xiang Ta, Xiang Sheng, Xiang Zhuang and other dozens of younger generations to Kuaiji County to help Xiang Liang. Moreover, these people brought news that was shocking to Xiang Liang. Xiang Xiao led most of the Xiang family children to join the Chenjun rebel army.

At this time, Xiang Liang knew that Xiang Xiao had joined the rebel army under the pseudonym Chen Xiao 2 years ago, and now he has become one of the top five generals of the Chen County Rebel Army. He held a high position and was highly valued by Xu Fan. The elders of the Xiang family were not optimistic about Xiang Liang's development. In other words, they were more optimistic about Xu Fan's development, so they did not support Xiang Liang.

Youdao fell behind step by step and fell behind step by step. Now Xiang Liang only has more than 20 soldiers, while the rebels already have 20 elites. All the richest territory in Chu State is occupied by Xu Fan. Moreover, the annihilation of Qin troops gave Xu Fan unparalleled prestige in Chu, surpassing Xiang Yan. After all, no matter how famous Xiang Yan was, he was still a defeated general, and the Chu people just pitied him and was unable to recover.

But if they had a choice, the people of Chu still preferred Xu Fan, a famous general who was victorious in every battle. Now Xu Fan's prestige in Chu even exceeded that of previous Chu kings. It is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Fan is the uncrowned king of Chu, just waiting for him to ascend the throne and be crowned.

What Xiang Liang was most afraid of happened. Xu Fan fully covered the influence of his father Xiang Yan. The stronger Xu Fan's prestige, the more Xiang Yan's prestige declined, and when it came to Xiang Liang, the decline became faster.

By the time Xu Fan occupies the core territory of Chu, even if Xiang Liang is talented, there is no room for him to develop. It can be said that there is no place for heroes. This is the main reason why the elders of the Xiang family are not optimistic about Xiang Liang and only send dozens of people to Xiang Liang. A junior went to help Xiang Liang, not only for the sake of looking after the family, but also to spread the risk and use Xiang Liang as a spare tire.

Chen Xiao did even better. When he was in Jiujiang County, he wrote a letter and asked Xiang Qi and others to bring it to Xiang Liang, saying that when his uncle could no longer stay in Kuaiji County, he could lead his territory and people to join Chen County. He said that with your uncle's military ability, General Shangzhu will definitely leave you a general position so that their family can be reunited.

This letter made Xiang Liang half angry. The Xiang clan always treated him like this, and the nephew Chen Xiao mocked him so much. This kind of betrayal by relatives is the most fatal. The most important thing is that reality is also hitting him, because he also understands that the clan The old idea was correct. The Chenjun Rebel Army suddenly swelled into a behemoth, occupying the richest land in Chu State, and completely locked up his development space. He couldn't find his way forward at all, and of course he had to invest resources. In the most promising direction.

"Going north, we must go north. We will die in Wuzhong." Fan Zeng said loudly: "Only by going north to the Central Plains can we have a way out. We must first find a way to annex Chen Ying's men, occupy Donghai County, and then capture Sishui County to control these three counties. We have the ability to protect ourselves.”

Xiang Yu clenched the long sword in his hand and smiled eagerly: "It should have been like this a long time ago. Uncle should have listened to my opinion and killed Jiujiang County earlier. How could we be so passive? I also want to compete with my cousin. Let's see. Let’s see who is stronger, my Xiang family army, or his rebel army.”

Chen Xiao and Xiang Yu are the same generation. Chen Xiao is still two years younger than Xiang Yu, but Chen Xiao is already a famous rebel general in the world. Although Xiang Yu killed Yin Tong, he is still unknown in the whole world. This makes Xiang Yu was a little envious of this cousin. He was able to be reused by Xu Fan at a young age. Now he has become a world-famous general, commanding tens of thousands of troops to attack cities and territories, and has become a serious problem for Ying Zheng.

Xiang Bo shook his head and said, "Yu'er, don't talk nonsense. Since the rebel army rebelled against Qin, they have conquered and won every battle. They killed many of Ying Zheng's favorite generals and wiped out more than 20 Qin troops. How can these achievements be fake?" , if we really offend the rebels, we will definitely be in disaster."

Xiang Yu said unconvinced: "I haven't fought, so who knows."

At this time, a soldier ran over and said: "General, Qin Jia from Sishui County sent an envoy to visit."

"Qin Jia?" Xiang Liang was a little confused.

No wonder Xiang Liang was so confused. Qin Jia was the earliest rebel general to rebel, but he spent more than a year making soy sauce. During the same period, Tian Dan, Wu Chen, and even Wu Guang were more famous than him. After all, Wu Guang almost conquered the entire Yingchuan. Among the counties, only Qin Jia had been fighting silently with soldiers from Sishui County and Qin County. Xiang Liang thought it was a small group of rebels who appeared out of nowhere.

Xiang Bo said with a hint of disdain: "Qin Jia was originally a rebel army in Chen County. Xu Fan supported three rebel armies to attack the four directions, and Qin Jia led 3000 rebels to attack Sishui County. However, his military talents were limited, and the other two groups were They almost captured one county, which caused heavy damage to the Qin State. Only Qin Jia fought in Sishui County for two years and had not conquered Sishui County. Later, the rebel general Wu Chen also began to attack Sishui County, and the Qin army was gradually eliminated by the two rebel armies. "

Xiang Bo was a forthright and generous man, without the airs of a nobleman. He loved to make friends with heroes from all over the world. He had friends and friendships from all over the world. After Xiang Liang rebelled against Qin, Xiang Bo took over the intelligence work.

Fan Zeng's eyes lit up. He was just thinking about how to annex Sishui County, but he didn't expect Qin Jia to come to his door.

Xiang Liang said: "We have an envoy."

Qin Jia's envoy immediately said after seeing Xiang Liang: "The violent Qin forces are strong. The anti-Qin forces in Qi have been suppressed. The 15 Qin army is eyeing the Central Plains, but our rebel forces are scattered. Our general believes that Sishui County and Donghai County Forming an alliance with Kuaiji County to jointly resist Qin's invasion will strengthen our strength, and the general hopes to gain your support in forming an alliance."

Xiang Liang said: "I have agreed. Soon I will lead the army across the Yangtze River and go north to the Central Plains to discuss an alliance with General Qin Jia."

After the envoy left, Fan Zeng laughed and said: "Our army's difficulties can be solved. With Qin Jia's invitation, the generals and troops can gain a foothold in Jiangbei, and then find a way to annex Qin Jia and Chen Ying's tribe, and occupy Jianghuai The land of the three counties. The land of the three counties of Jianghuai is rich in money and food, and there are many heroes. There are more than 10 anti-Qin rebels in various places, which is a big force. If the general unites these rebels, the general trend will be achieved.

Xu Fan occupies Korea and the Han River area. He will have a battle with Bao Qin. Due to geographical reasons, Xu Fan will have to focus on attacking, and the general will have enough time to integrate the power of the three counties. "

Xiang Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Fan's words are exactly what I want. If my nephew competes with them, these rebels will be willing to join my uncle."

Xiang Liang frowned and said: "But even if we integrate the power of the three counties, our strength is far inferior to Xu Fan. Moreover, how should our army develop if we integrate the three counties?"

Xu Fan and Xiang Liang, who occupied the core area of ​​Chu State, could not avoid obstacles. Xiang Liang, who was ambitious, did not just want to occupy these three counties.

Fan Zeng pondered for a moment and said: "From the perspective of the world's structure, the Qin army is still the most powerful force in the world, so Qin is our absolute enemy. We are sworn enemies. It is impossible to reconcile. We will fight with The strength of the Qin people is dominant.

The rebel Xu Fan is the most powerful force among the anti-Qin forces in the world. In one battle, he annihilated more than 100,000 Qin troops and annexed four counties, while still having enough power to spare. Xu Fan's strength is beyond anyone else's. Imagine. Xu Fan has repeatedly won against Qin, and his prestige in the hearts of the Chu people exceeds that of all others. Generals cannot compete with him for the time being, but Xu Fan is not our enemy, but a force that can be formed and used in alliances. When we After the army took control of the three counties and had enough strength, they could form an alliance with Xu Fan to fight against Qin. After hearing Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Bo frowned and asked: "Even if the army occupies the three counties of Jianghuai, its strength is far inferior to that of Xu Fan. If we form an alliance with Xu Fan, won't we become Xu Fan's subordinate force?" "

Even if he occupies three counties, Xiang Liang's strength and prestige are far inferior to Xu Fan. After all, Xu Fan's prestige is now higher than that of Xiang Yan, while Xiang Liang only relies on occupying the prestige of his father, Xiang Yan. The gap is obvious. You can imagine.

Fan Zeng pointed to the top of the map and said: "Our army's way out is in the north. We can only survive this game by continuing north, capturing Langye County, Linzi County, and then regaining the entire Qi Kingdom for our own use."

"Qi State!" Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu all said in shock.

They are Chu people, and the Chu State is their foundation. Now Fan Zeng wants them to fight against the Qi State, and it seems that they will use the Qi State as their foundation. This is something they have never imagined. It has never happened in hundreds of years. After such a thing, the people of Chu unite, can the people of Qi accept this? Xiang Liang and others were very suspicious.

Fan Zeng nodded and said: "Because of the repeated annihilation of the Qin army, Xu Fan's prestige in Chu is unmatched. Even the generals can't go toe-to-toe with Xu Fan. If we continue to keep Chu, we can only be suppressed by Xu Fan or even annexed by him. .”

"The only two countries in the world that can threaten Qin are Qi and Chu. Because of its vast territory, Chu has always been Qin's most powerful enemy, and Qi has been a strong country for 800 years. In addition, Qin surrendered without a fight due to the violent unification war. , the entire Qi region has not been affected by the war, and the strength is the best preserved. Now that Chu State is occupied by Xu Fan, we can only occupy Qi State to achieve three points of the world.

The situation in Qi at this time was also favorable to our army. The Qi clan was defeated by the Qin army. Tian Dan, Tian Shi, and Tian Rong were killed one after another. Only Tian Heng fled to the end of the world. The power of the Qi clan declined. Under the Qin army, Under the blow, the anti-Qin forces in Qi became a mess. Qi was defeated, but Qi's strength still remained. Qi had a large population and was rich in salt and iron. It was the foundation of the emperor. As long as the general supported the clan of Qi, he could win the hearts of the people of Qi.

The general can gather the troops of the Qi people to increase their strength. When the strength is sufficient, he can go north and defeat the Qin army occupying Qi State. The people of Qi will definitely be grateful to the general. In this way, the general's foundation in Qi State will be established. The world will be divided into three parts, with the general occupying Qi, Xu Fan occupying Chu, the First Emperor occupying Western Qin, and the central principle is occupied by various small princes, but it does not matter if they are not in harmony.

Xiang Yu was a little dissatisfied and said: "Mr. Fan means that even if we occupy the Qi State, we cannot destroy the Qin State, and we have to divide the world with them."

Because of his grandfather's death in the war, and his experience of being homeless and wanted by the Qin State since he was a child, he had an extremely hatred for the Qin State since he was a child. He wanted to kill the First Emperor, destroy the Qin State, and inflict all the suffering on the Chu people on his relatives. Go back for revenge.

But Xiang Bo comforted him and said, "It's enough to have three points of the world. Yu'er shouldn't embarrass Mr. Fan."

Fan Zeng thought for a while and said: "The most powerful period of the Qin Dynasty has passed. In these years, the First Emperor did not care about the people's strength. He conquered Baiyue in the south and the Xiongnu in the north, killing all the people in the world. Moreover, these two places were barbaric. Not only will occupying the land not alleviate the Qin army's problems, but it will continue to consume Qin's soldiers, finances, and food.

In recent years, Qin's military strength, grain, grass, and finances have reached their limits and are in a state of rapid decline. This is also the reason why the rebel armies in the Central Plains rose up against Qin and expanded rapidly, because the Qin army declined rapidly after its strength reached its limit. The territory of the Six Kingdoms of Kanto can no longer be suppressed.

According to my prediction, as long as we can withstand another encirclement and suppression by the Qin army, Qin will completely lose the ability to control the world's situation, the entire Central Plains region will be lost, and the situation will be in our favor. The general only needs to prepare for war in Qi. , just waiting for the world to change, the generals joined forces with Xu Fan to form a joint army to conquer the Qin State in the west.

After Xiang Liang listened to Fan Zeng's words, his worries were gone, and the fog that filled his eyes became clear under Fan Zeng's guidance.

Xiang Liang said proudly: "Okay, let's lead the army north."

Xiang Yu said: "I can finally compete with the heroes of the world."

Dongyang County, county government.

Chen Ying also encountered a distressing problem.

The source of his distress was Qin Jia's letter about forming an alliance. He had always been optimistic about Xu Fan from Chen County. Especially during this period, Xu Fan annihilated more than 100,000 Qin troops and revived the four counties of the original Chu State, which shocked the world. .

Xu Fan's power became stronger and stronger, and Chen Ying's desire to join him became even more serious. However, Qin Jia from Surabaya County was standing in front of them, blocking Chen Ying's westward march. And it was impossible for him to leave his subordinates and join Xu Fan. After all, his subordinates were all from Donghai County and local powerful men. If he dared to abandon these people from Donghai County, his subordinates would abandon him.

Originally, he thought Qin Jia was Xu Fan's subordinate. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to join Xu Fan and happily become the founding heroes of the country?

Now that Qin Jia said that he wanted to form an alliance with him, he understood that Qin Jia wanted to break away from Xu Fan's subordinates. For a while, he didn't know how to reply to Qin Jia. His ambitions were not big and he just wanted to find a partner. Hug, but obviously Qin Jia is far from being a thigh. Not only is it not a thigh, it is like a sinking ship. At this time, he is afraid of being dragged to death by Qin Jia when he gets involved with Qin Jia.

But his current situation is also very dangerous. Some time ago, Qi State was defeated. Tian Rong of Tianshi died on the battlefield. Qin State once again pacified Qi State. Now 15 Qin State elites are eyeing the Central Plains. Chen Ying is worried that these 15 troops will go south. , he will bear the brunt.

Chen Ying knew how much he had. With the army in his hands, there was no way he could be a match for the Qin army, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands. As long as the Qin army went south, he would definitely be defeated. He found that his only option at this time was to form an alliance with Qin Jia to find a way to protect himself.
