I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 303: If you can’t defeat him once, then try twice, three times, and four times; Jin Chan goes to the Chu army camp alone
North bank of Huaihe River.

Xiang Yu was wearing silver armor, holding the Overlord spear in his hand, and riding the fine horse Wuzhui with its head held high and neighing.

"General, more than half of the army has crossed the river. What do you think we should do next?"

Zhongli Mei came on horseback and asked Xiang Yu.

Behind him are Long Qie, Ying Bu and Yu Ziqi. The four of them grew up with Xiang Yu.

It would be better to say that they are brothers rather than personal soldiers.

"Notify Jing Que and Zhao Yang to capture the last three cities on the Korean border as quickly as possible. Once you have the advantageous terrain, do not move for the time being."

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the endless plain in front of him.

Although the Chu army has the advantage at the moment, Xiang Yu knows that the man has not arrived yet.

Only if he defeats him head-on on the battlefield can he be considered the best general in the world, and only then can the State of Chu be considered victorious in this war against Qin.

"General, are you waiting for Jin Chan?"

After the Battle of Hangu Pass, Zhongli Mei had already been afraid of the sudden appearance of the Golden Cicada.

Coupled with the various rumors over the past year or so, not only Zhongli Mei, but also Long Qie, Ying Bu, and Yu Ziqi all felt uneasy about him.

but.

The four of them never doubted that Xiang Yu was unparalleled and would one day surpass Xiang Yan, Li Mu, Lian Po and Bai Qi to become the greatest general in the world.

It's just that the time has not come yet.

"This time, I will defeat him fairly in front of everyone in the world."

There was a buzzing sound from the tightly held Overlord Spear.

It seemed to resonate with Xiang Yu's words.

"Yu, this time you will definitely defeat Jin Chan, become an unrivaled general, and stand at the top of the Central Plains."

at this time.

A white horse with snow-white mane was walking slowly from behind.

On horseback.

A woman who looked less than 20 years old, with her hair tied up, a few strands of hair were blown to her cheeks by the breeze.

Her face was elegant and refined, her fair skin was as smooth and delicate as mutton-fat jade, her eyebrows were like distant ink, and when she frowned slightly, she looked quite heroic.

The light blue fish-scale armor fits her graceful and curvy body perfectly.

The two swords at the waist are simple yet exquisite.

The ribbon wrapped around the hilt sways in the wind

The scabbard is engraved with delicate patterns that resemble flowing water waves.

"Yu Wei, what's going on?"

Xiang Yu looked back, and the majestic overlord showed a rare hint of tenderness.

"Food and fodder have all arrived, enough for the army to march for six months. The troops in the seven captured cities have all been deployed, ready for attack and defense at any time."

The woman named Yu Wei spoke calmly about everything she had done in the past few days.

"Okay, the mistake at Hangu Pass must not happen again."

Xiang Yu replied softly.

"Yu, Qin and Zhao have formed an alliance, and the Zhao army has withdrawn from the border of Tang. Although it is just a rumor, it is likely to be true."

"What? An alliance between Qin and Zhao? Li Munas actually betrayed us and turned to Qin. Damn it."

Except for Xiang Yu, everyone else showed anger when they heard this, but more of them were worried.

Although Zhao was not as powerful as Qin and Chu, it was also one of the powerful countries.

If the alliance between Qin and Zhao is real, it will completely disrupt the existing situation and the chances of Chu winning will be no more than 20%.

"Yu Wei, let's finish what you have to say!"

Xiang Yu remained calm and continued speaking.

Given the current situation in the Central Plains, Zhao's choice to ally with Qin was undoubtedly courting disaster. Li Mu was not a fool, so he naturally knew about this.

Xiang Yu was well aware of this and was certain that there must be something fishy about this matter.

"It is said that King Qian of Zhao regained power with the help of a Qin general and eliminated Li Mu's party, which led to the alliance between Qin and Zhao."

"However, the Zhao army only retreated back to Handan. It seems that they have no intention of attacking our Chu State. Moreover, I heard that Li Mu has been captured by the Qin army."

Yu Wei continued.

Although these words have not been confirmed, the Qin army flags with the characters "Meng" and "Wang" printed on them have already arrived at the border, so this is probably not a lie.

"No problem. Zhao and Wei are already children. It doesn't matter whether they are there or not. Even if Li Mu didn't come to Chu Jinyan, it would only be a matter of time for our Great Chu to go north to attack Qin."

Although Xiang Yu had the demeanor of a great general, he always lacked humility and was somewhat arrogant and conceited.

After Qin destroyed Qi and Han, it became the strongest of the five kingdoms in the Central Plains.

Now that the Chu State has lost its elite troops in the Central Plains, the outcome of a war between the two sides is uncertain.

It is impossible to destroy Qin, but being able to force it back to Hangu Pass or divide the land of Han equally would be a victory.

"Yu, do you really want to fight that Jin Chan to the death? The battlefield is unpredictable. Now both sides have more than two million troops, and we don't know how many more will be added in the future. There is absolutely no need for you to do this. War is not just about the victory or defeat of two people."

Yu Wei didn't want to speak, but this battle not only concerned the survival of the Chu State, but also the life and death of Xiang Yu.

Some things just have to be said.

"If I don't defeat him, how can I be worthy of being the best in the world? Don't say anything more. I will definitely fight him this time, and I believe Jin Chan thinks so too."

Xiang Yu finished speaking.

His pupils opened instantly, and he raised the silver Overlord Spear in his hand and stabbed it hard towards the Huai River in the distance.

The roaring river was split into two by this shot.

Even the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river can be seen clearly.

And on the other side at this time.

Jin Chan and others were discussing matters in the main general's camp.

"Brother Jin, I heard that Xiang Yu's martial arts and military spirit have improved a lot, you have to be on guard!"

Meng Tian said jokingly to Jin Chan.

"I'm going all out this time!"

When dealing with a man like Xiang Yu, if you want him to return to Qin, you must defeat his arrogance head-on.

If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. If it doesn’t work twice, try it three times, until you defeat him.

"Tomorrow the whole army will be divided into three groups. Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​and Wang Jian will lead a total of 450,000 troops to the front to support the city guarded by General Yang Ruihe."

"Meng Yi and Wang Ben will lead 150,000 troops to the second city to assist General Li Xin."

"Luoyang, you will lead 50,000 soldiers to join Zi'an in the third city. You will be responsible for the baggage and food coming from the rear, and wait for Generals Yingdang and Yingji."

"As for the other seven cities, there is no need to attack them. After we have reorganized our troops, we will annihilate all the Chu troops in the north of the Huai River."

"Everyone, this is a protracted battle, don't be impatient or careless."

Ten cities along the Korean border.

The seven cities closest to the Huai River have been occupied by the Chu army.

As for the three cities of Qin in the rear.

The first two cities are less than twenty miles apart.

The third city is a little further away.

There is nothing wrong with Jin Chan's deployment of troops.

Especially Li Xin, Zi'an, Yang Rui and others, who had been holding out for nearly two months against a million-strong Chu army, were already exhausted and short of food and fodder.

It takes some time to rest.

"promise!"

Several people responded at the same time.

Even Meng Wu, who was always proud, did not question Jin Chan's order.

night.

The cicada has fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, Ying Lou began to handle state affairs.

Today, after conquering Qi and Han, the Qin State has become much more vast than before.

Although part of the memorial was given to Li Si, who had just taken office as prime minister.

But every night, Ying Lou was still very busy. "Sun Bin returned to farming and was unwilling to participate in government affairs. It will take time for the Qi army to split up and return to Qin, not to mention Han. My Great Qin is currently short of troops!"

Ying Lou was bent over his desk reviewing a mountain of memorials, muttering to himself.

Although the Qi State, which had experienced famine, has now grown crops again, it is still in poverty because of Tian Jian's previous problems.

Although some Qi people were naturalized, most of the Qi army, under the leadership of Tian Ji, were strictly guarding the border against the Northern Di and could not get away for the time being.

The Kingdom of Han had just been conquered and was still in chaos. Zhang Ping and the Qin civil officials he sent out were also busy as hell.

Yingdang and Ying Ji led their troops south again.

Therefore, Ying Lou’s statement that the Qin army was temporarily short of troops was not an exaggeration.

"Your Majesty, when you fell asleep last night, Dr. Hua sent me good news!"

"Good news? Is it Hong Wenyu who is pregnant, or Han Nian'er?"

"You two are both pregnant, but we don't know yet whether it's a boy or a girl."

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Lou was not much moved, but said: "Prince Su, how are you doing recently?"

"My Lord, Master Su has been staying in Queen Huayang's bedroom and can now speak."

"Okay, tell Huayang not to distract me. As long as she can teach the crown prince well, she will have no worries about her position as queen."

With the annihilation of the Longguan gentry, Huayang had long lost his former arrogance and even spoke less.

However, Ying Lou had no idea of ​​changing the queen. After all, Huayang was in the right position and was currently the only candidate for the queen of Qin.

"promise!"

Zhao Gao bowed and replied.

"Oh, right, draft a secret letter and send it to General Mu Xuanzi in Handan, telling him to establish a good relationship with Zhao's Prime Minister Guo Kai in the name of General Jin Chan, and to support him openly, help Guo Kai eliminate dissidents, and make him the most powerful minister in Zhao."

Although on Zhao Wangqian's side, Jin Chan could take his life at any time.

But Zhao Qian's son, Prince Jia, seems to be a capable person, so it would be best to get rid of him as soon as possible.

This is to prevent Zhao State from having a wise ruler after King Qian of Zhao died.

And the only person to do this job was Guo Kai.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. When Zhao Qian was on the verge of death, Guo Kai, who held great power, would naturally try his best to get rid of Prince Jia.

After all, Guo Kai should be clear that a small and incompetent person like him would never be valued by Gongzi Jia.

"promise!"

After a busy night.

Ying Lou stretched and was about to go to bed to rest, but suddenly remembered that there was something he needed to go to in person.

"Black Ice Terrace."

After letting Zhao Gao step down.

Ying Lou knocked on the table three times gently and muttered.

Su Quji, the captain of the Twelve Guards of Zhenbei, suddenly walked out from the darkness, knelt on one knee and bowed his head towards Ying Lou and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Quji, from today on, I will promote you to the leader of the Black Ice Terrace Qi Territory, commanding a hundred guards."

The Heibingtai is the Qin King's imperial guard, with a number of just over 10,000.

The seven regions were divided into Qin, Chu, Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han and Tang according to the names of the seven countries, and each region had one hundred guards under it.

As for the leader of Qi Territory, he led a group of Black Ice Platform with a total number of about 1,400 people.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Quji responded without even a moment's hesitation.

The duty of the Black Ice Platform is to obey the king's orders completely.

Whether it is a reward or a punishment, it must be accepted unconditionally without even a second of hesitation.

Even if they are asked to commit suicide here, it will be carried out immediately.

"Ten days later, I will set out for the main peak of Qinling Zhongnan. As for the Wangshun and Taibai mountains, I have not decided yet. You go and arrange the itinerary. Remember, don't let anyone know my whereabouts."

After coming out of Longmen, the dragon vein place of South Korea, Ying Lou has always planned to go to Qinling Mountains, the place of Qin State's national destiny.

The three main peaks of the dragon veins, Zhongnan, Taibai and Wangshun, are the first choice.

However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be made known to others for the time being.

"promise!"

After Su Quji left, Ying Lou lay down on the Black Water Dragon Bed and fell asleep again.

The southern border of South Korea at the same time.

After putting on the black armor, Jin Chan ordered the three armies to set off immediately.

And as the Qin army marched towards the three cities.

Jin Chan rode on the white dragon horse and took the lead, heading to the Huaihe River basin alone.

A journey of hundreds of miles was reached in the blink of an eye.

"Look, what kind of monster is this?"

In the Chu camp, everyone looked up to the sky, gazing at the white dragon horse flying on flames a hundred meters in the air.

"Look, there seems to be another person up there, he seems to be... he seems to be a Qin person!"

Black armor and red clothes are standard equipment for the Qin army, no wonder the Chu people below can recognize them.

And just when the Chu army was in an uproar.

Yu Wei walked out of the tent, only glanced at the sky, and decisively ordered: "All troops on alert, all archers, shoot three rounds at the Qin general above, and gather the military spirit."

As the herald's flag waved.

The Chu army camp, which had been relatively leisurely, immediately entered a state of preparation for war.

The shield soldiers raised their round shields to the sky, ready for battle.

The cavalry mounted their horses and held their swords at attention, their eyes full of vigilance.

The infantry and spearmen were lined up in strict formation, waiting for the golden cicada to fall to the ground from the sky.

The archers, on the other hand, pulled the bowstrings to their full extent and concentrated their fighting spirit into the arrows.

"emission!"

Yu Wei gave the order and the messenger waved the flag.

Instantly.

I saw a black arrow flying towards the direction of the golden cicada in the sky.

The sky was blocked out, and even the rising sun lost its original brightness, as if it had entered a brief night.

With the fish belly inserted at his waist, Jin Chan sat cross-legged.

With his left hand he formed the Ten Thunders Daoist Formula, and with his right hand he formed the Thunderous Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable Formation.

"One Thunder Jade Pivot, Thunder Punishment!"

"The second fire god, breaking the heavy clouds at dawn!"

"Three thunders shake the world, and the great cave leads to the mysteries!"

"All the immortals are here, the universe is shaking, my law is the heavenly law, the four thunder immortals are here!"

"Five thunders are moving, the northern lights are shining, the thunder is furious, suppressing all directions, the five thunders are in the northern pole!"

"Tian Gang Constellation, Magnificent Heavenly Might, Six Thunders Taiyi!"

"Halfway through the Purple Palace, all of them are celestial immortals, the Seven Thunder Purple Palace."

"Form, Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable Formation, Ten Thousand Heavenly Soldiers in Thunder Armor."

As Jin Chan finished speaking.

All I saw was dense, seven-colored thunder roaring down from the black clouds above.

Crackling, crackling, the sound kept exploding.

Located below the white dragon colt, one thunder armor and weapon after another appeared.

The armor is lifelike and finely carved.

There seem to be dragon patterns, black birds, flying fish, or patterns of the Nine-Direction Heavenly Palace on it.

As for the arrows from the mortal world, after flying a hundred meters, regardless of how much the force was reduced, they could not even make a scratch on these thunder armors.

"The belly of the fish is finally opened. Soldiers, ten thousand tongue-pulling heavenly soldiers, put on armor and line up."

Jin Chan did not stop, but inserted the fish belly into his forehead.
