Ni Chu

Sending off Wei He and Mo Feng, Wu You said to Xiang Ye who was standing beside him and looking at Wei He's back in a daze: "The general thinks why Zhao Tuo sent people to come this time?"

Xiang Ye shook his head, his brows were tightly furrowed, the Chu army is getting closer and closer to Xianyang, and this time is even more sensitive than during the Qin-Chu Julu Battle. If Nanyue sided with the Qin Dynasty at this time, Although the final outcome of the situation in the entire Central Plains battlefield will be that Chu wins and Qin perishes, the situation will become much more complicated.

Although he hopes that history will change, what Xiang Ye hopes is to change within the scope of his control. For the time being, he does not want such a big change like South Vietnam's intervention in the Central Plains War, because there are too many unknown factors in such a change. There are many, and it is hard to say whether the final outcome will develop as he expected.

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Tuo should want to be crowned king," Wu You narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to Xiang Ye: "It can be seen from the fact that he blocked the road from the south to the north to aid Qin, and that he has great respect for the Qin Dynasty. There is no loyalty at all, and he himself is from the country of Zhao. When Nanyue was about to let go and do something big, he intervened in the Central Plains war. I don't think he would be so stupid. Maybe they had already thought about it before they came. Change the title,"

"Oh," Xiang Ye nodded. If things are really as Wu You said, he might as well give it a try. It should be three years later that Zhao Tuo became king, and he has not been entrusted by anyone. In the future, he will bring his money when he becomes king, and Xiang Yu will also help in the future battle between Chu and Han.

"If Zhao Tuo just wants to become king, I don't mind recommending them to the general," Xiang Ye pulled the corner of his mouth upwards, showing a smile that others can't detect, and said, "not to mention helping their little brother." I am busy, I will get so many good medicinal materials from them in the future, "

Wu You smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, with those medicinal materials, Mr. Han Xian will be very happy, but has the general ever thought about being king in the future?"

Hearing what Wu You said, Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him and said, "Sir, I think I can also be crowned king."

"Why not?" Wu You looked at Xiang Ye and said to him, "This time the general made countless military exploits in the Western Expedition. In terms of merit, he should be crowned king. Looking at the general situation of the world, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the general is very likely to become the king of the world." My lord, if the general wants to be crowned king, he should start preparing from now on."

"How to prepare," Xiang Ye frowned. He faintly felt that Wu You's words implied an inexplicable meaning, and quickly said, "Sir, if you don't mind telling me the plan, I'll make preparations early."

"Get married with Xiang Qing as soon as possible," Wu You smiled slightly, and said to Xiang Ye: "The rest of the matter, the general just needs to let me handle it."

Xiang Ye's brows were tightly furrowed. Wu You's words made him very depressed. He always felt that if he followed this strategy, it would seem that he won the king not by his own strength, but by Xiang Qing's nepotism.

When the Chu army under Xiang Yu was advancing towards Xianyang, Liu Bangjun had already taken advantage of the greed and ungratefulness of the general guarding Gaoguan to outsmart Gaoguan, and then broke through Xianyang.

After being stationed in Xianyang, Liu Bang changed his greedy and lustful habits in the past, and made three chapters with the people of Xianyang, and ordered the army not to harass the people of Xianyang, and treated the princes and ministers of the Qin Dynasty with courtesy and no harm.

However, while doing this, he also followed the advice of his staff and sent Sima Cao Wushang to lead an army to garrison Hangu Pass to prevent Xiang Yu and other princes from entering the pass.

Not long after Liu Bang settled all this, Xiang Yu led an army of 40 princes to Hangu Pass.

When the army arrived at Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu frowned when he saw that the pass was tightly closed, and ordered Yingbu to call for the pass.

Yingbu ordered, reined in his horse and rushed to the pass, and shouted to the Chu army who closed the pass: "The general is here, the guards should hurry up and open the door."

Cao Wushang, who was in charge of guarding the gate, heard someone calling Guan below him, so he quickly looked down and saw Yingbu stationed at the gate. The pass is to prevent the general and other princes from entering the pass. How can we open the pass? Please go back, the general. Please tell the general. If it is not the last general who does not want to open the pass, there is a military order from Peigong, so does the last general. helpless, "

Yingbu looked up at Cao Wushang who was protruding from the gate, pointed at him with his gun and said, "What does Liu Bang want to do? The general came here and he sent troops to guard the gate. Could it be that he wanted to rebel? "

Cao Wushang didn't say a word, he just clasped his fists to Yingbo and kept his arms crossed. Seeing that he didn't want to open the door, Yingbo was very helpless, so he had to rein in his horse and turn around and walk towards Xiang Yu.

"How, when will they switch on?" Seeing Yingbo returning dejectedly, Xiang Yu felt something was wrong in his heart, and asked him hastily.

Ying Bu sighed first, and then said to Xiang Yu: "That guy Liu Bang is very rude. He even sent people to guard the pass and not allow the general to enter."

"What does Liu Bang want to do?" Xiang Yu frowned, and said to Yingbo: "Yingbo, you lead your army to attack Hangu Pass immediately. If they dare to resist, after breaking through the pass, all guards, regardless of officers and soldiers, kill them all,"

"Design," upon hearing that the pass was to be forcibly broken, Yingbo immediately became interested, cupped his fists at Xiang Yu, and beckoned the troops of his headquarters to kill him at Hangu Pass.

On the Hangu Pass, Cao Wushang was looking down with his hands on the battlements, when the dark Chu army approached the pass, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"General, it seems that the troops under the gate are about to forcibly break through the gate. What should we do?" the general standing behind Cao Wushang said to him when he saw that the Chu army under Yingbu under the city was preparing the siege ladder and was about to break through the gate by force. : "I don't really want my family to beat my family, right?"

Cao Wushang frowned, and after a while he said to the general: "Go and order the whole army. As soon as Yingbu starts attacking the city, we will withdraw our defenses wherever he attacks and put on a defensive posture. Don't really engage them,"

"But what should Peigong say?" After receiving the order, Pianjiang hesitated and did not leave.

"Do you think we can stop Yingbu?" Cao Wushang gave him a sideways glance, and said to him, "Even if we really fight hard, it will be a matter of time before we break through. Does Peigong dare to turn against Xiang Yu now? We are the ones who are going to be the scapegoats at the moment,"

"The last general is stupid, as the general said, I understand," the general clasped his fists in a salute after being reprimanded by Cao Wushang, and turned around to tell the guards not to really resist, just put on a show.

"Attack," Yingbu led his troops to the pass. He didn't do much deployment, and directly ordered the army to start attacking the city.

Just when the Chu army in Guanxia began to attack the city, Guanguan shot down countless arrows, and these arrows roared towards the Chu army under Yingbu's command.

"Damn, you really dare to do it." Seeing the arrows flying down from Guanshang, Yingbo cursed bitterly, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers: "Attack me, before it gets dark today, you must give me Hangu Pass!" take it down,"

The Chu army under Yingbu rushed towards the pass with a siege ladder. An officer of the Chu army was holding a spear in one hand and carrying the ladder in the other. He was directing his subordinate soldiers to rush towards the pass when a row of arrows flew towards him.

He quickly swung his spear to block it, but the spear is not a shield after all, after he blocked most of the arrows, he still got a few arrows on his body.

What made him feel strange was that the arrow that shot him didn't pierce his body, but fell to the ground after hitting the armor on his body.

The officer let go of the hand holding the siege ladder, knelt down and picked up an arrow from the ground. He was shocked to find that the arrow that fell on the ground had no arrowhead.

The attacking pace of the Chu army gradually slowed down. Many people who were shot by the arrows discovered this situation, and someone immediately reported to Yingbu that the arrows shot from the gate had no arrowheads.

Holding the bare shaft of the arrow in his hand, Ying Bu frowned into a big pimple. After a while, he said to the officer who reported the situation to him: "Tell the soldiers, even though the guards who closed the arrow pulled out the arrow, it is still the same." Be careful, in case they are just a conspiracy to paralyze our army, if they are careless, the consequences will be disastrous.

The officer responded, turned around and conveyed Yingbo's order to the whole army.

The attack on Hangu Pass became a bit dramatic after such a commotion. The defenders who closed it kept shooting arrows without arrowheads downwards, while the attacking Chu army calmly set up the siege ladder to the wall. Go up, leisurely climb up the pass.

The attacking Chu army boarded the pass, thinking that the defenders would resist symbolically, but what they didn't expect was that the defenders immediately coaxed them to scatter when they saw them climb up.

Those who had no time to escape squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, stealthily watching the Chu army who had just boarded the pass.

"Squat all for me," a Chu army officer shouted at the defenders who were squatting on the ground with a sword in his hand: "The general came to the gate, and dared to close the door and refuse to welcome you. How many heads do you have? Give them all to Lao Tzu!" Be careful, wait for the general to enter the pass and see how he will deal with you,"

The battle to attack Hangu Pass ended in such a dramatic way with no casualties on both sides. Xiang Yu led an army of 40 to enter the pass.

As soon as Yingbo broke through the pass, he arrested Cao Wushang. When Xiang Yu entered the pass, he had someone escort Cao Wushang to kneel at the pass to welcome Xiang Yu.

"Cao Wushang, you are quite courageous." When he reached the pass, Xiang Yu sneered at Cao Wushang who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You know that I am the one who came to the pass, but you still dare to retreat and refuse to welcome you. Who gave you that?" courage, "

Cao Wushang knelt down on the ground, and when Xiang Yu asked him, he trembled with fright, and replied in a trembling voice: "It's Peigong, Peigong wants me to guard Hangu Pass here, and prevent the general and other princes from entering." close,"

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, then glared at Cao Wushang and shouted sharply: "Get out!"

Cao Wushang, who was reprimanded by Xiang Yu, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiang Yu twice, got up and ran away in desperation.
