Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 486 Kanto Form
After Zhang Han went north, he first defeated the coalition forces of the four countries of Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Qi in Xingyang, and then sent his army north to directly surround Linji, the current capital of Wei State (Daliang was flooded by Ziying, and the city walls fell).

Zhang Han's aggression shocked the four countries that had just returned to the country. The most direct consequence was that the capital of Wei State was besieged. Qi, Zhao, and Yan were originally allies, but only Qi sent reinforcements, and Yan and Zhao did not. movement.

Moreover, in the state of Qi, Tian Dan, the king of Qi, personally led the army to rescue.

The allied forces of Qi and Wei fought a decisive battle with Zhang Han's army at the foot of Linji City, but Zhang Han proved his level as a famous general with his achievements. Qi Wang Tian Dan died in battle, and Wei Wang Wei Jiu led the remnant army and was forced to return to Linji City again.

It is only a matter of time before Linji City, which is isolated and has no food and grass, is breached.

And Zhang Han also directly shot the letter of persuasion into Linji City, saying that if Linji did not surrender, the whole city would be slaughtered the day the city was destroyed.

Under tremendous pressure from the Qin army, King Jiu of Wei ordered Kaesong to surrender, and then committed suicide in the palace.

After conquering the Kingdom of Wei, Zhang Han immediately sent his troops to the east, intending to take advantage of Tian Dan's death in battle and conquer the great eastern country of Qi.
……

After Chen Sheng was killed, Zhao Ping, the general he sent to attack the northeast counties, became the number one figure in the Zhang Chu regime.

However, Zhao Ping is very self-aware, knowing that it is difficult to reintegrate Zhang Chu who has been torn apart with his own ability, so he begins to find another way out for Zhang Chu's future.

At this time, Uncle Xiang Liang, who was already in trouble in Kuaiji, came into his sight.

So Zhaoping directly used the name of King Chen Sheng to seal Xiang Liang as Zhang Chu's Shangzhu Kingdom (the supreme military commander) and ordered him to move westward quickly.

As far as Xiang Liang was concerned, grass-headed kings like Chen Sheng were not recognized by his prominent family background. He was seen by generations of nobles, and it was even more impossible for him to submit to others and obey Chen Sheng's orders.

However, Xiang Liang was very happy to agree to the order that Zhao Ping had given in the name of Chen Sheng this time, and immediately marched to the northwest with his army.

Because he had received the exact news that Chen Sheng was dead, and the area controlled by the Zhang Chu regime was officially in chaos.

Accepting the title of Shangzhu Kingdom is particularly important at this moment. With the title of Zhang Chu's Supreme Military Commander, he can go to accept the area controlled by the Zhang Chu regime in an open and honest manner.

So after Xiang Liang received the letter of appointment from Zhao Ping, he immediately led Xiang Yu and a group of Xiang's children to set off in the name of rescuing Chen Sheng and attacking the Qin army in the west.

Although Chen Sheng's meeting has long been cold, due to the consideration of being able to successfully receive Chen Sheng's inheritance, Chen Sheng cannot die, so Xiang Liang claimed that Chen Sheng did not die, but hid temporarily.

Compared with Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang has an innate advantage in Chu. Chen Sheng can only use Xiang Yan's name to win people's hearts in Chu, but Xiang Liang doesn't need to act like this because Xiang Yan is his father.

The name of his son of Xiang Yan is a flag. Some old nobles of the Chu state who had sneered at Chen Sheng before, and heroes who entrenched the rivers and lakes also came to seek refuge after hearing the news of Xiang Liang's westward departure.

Among them, the most valued by Xiang Liang are Chen Ying who occupies Dongyang, Fan Zeng, a well-known nester, and Ying Bu, who leads the crowd to scream proud of the river.

After Yingbu mistakenly thought that Ziying had been killed, he led his men who were born thieves to start their old business on the river, making a living by plundering.

Because he always thought that Ziying was killed by Qin Ting unjustly, and he had deep resentment towards Qin Ting. Not long after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started the incident, he used the name of anti-Qin to recruit bandits from all corners of the country to attack the county and became a local figure that should not be underestimated. share power.

As for why he gave up his hard-earned forces and defected to Xiang Liang, on the surface it was the wisdom of the Mu Xiang clan, but in fact, before Zhang Han received the letter from Ziying, Ying Bu, who had been entrenched in the base camp of Fan County, received a letter Letter, and the writer of the letter is Ziying who has been so kind to his family.

After receiving the letter, Ying Bu began to inquire about the movement of Xiang Liang's rebel army. After finding out that Zhang Han did not destroy it, but Xiang Liang crossed the Huai River instead, he led the crowd to Xiang Liang's command.

Because of the support of the heroes, and with the help of Zhang Chu's name of the Shangzhu Kingdom, Xiang Liang successfully received most of Chen Sheng's inheritance. After Zhang Han went north for a short time, he actually formed another group in Chu with Xiang Liang as the core. huge power.

Of course, Xiang Liang was not all smooth sailing in Chu, at least Jing Ju, supported by Chen Sheng's old general Qin Jia, as a descendant of the Chu royal family, occupied the Pengcheng area with the support of some old Chu nobles, and has been fighting against Xiang Liang.

In this regard, Xiang Liang, in the name of Zhang Chu, sent Yingbo, who had just surrendered to him, to attack the Pengcheng rebels in the name of King Chen Sheng's rebellion.

In this battle, Yingbo fully demonstrated his combat ability, cleanly broke through the strong city of Pengcheng, killed Qin Jia and Jingju, and by the way conquered more than ten counties around Pengcheng for Xiang Liang.

So far, the area originally occupied by Zhang Chu has basically been ruled by Xiang Liang, and Chen Sheng, who has been living under the banner of Xiang Liang for several months, has finally been publicly recognized by Xiang Liang after losing all his value. has died.

However, the fact that Jing Ju called the king of Chu also reminded Xiang Liang that a little-known boy, who was only a descendant of the Chu royal family, could gather a force to fight against him.

In Chu, the name of the old Chu royal family is still very useful. If one day a rebel army pops up to find the direct descendants of the Chu royal family, and use this to order the old land of Chu, it is no different from a threat to me. After all, Xiang's family has always been a minister of Chu.

And it is because of being loyal to Chu State for generations that he gained great prestige in Chu.

In order to avoid this threat, under Fan Zeng's suggestion, Xiang Liang sent someone to find Mi Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu who had been reduced to a shepherd boy, and revived the tragic name "King Huai of Chu" in the hearts of Chu people. Xiang Liang named himself Wu Xinjun, and Chen Ying, who was the first to defect to him, was named Shangzhu Kingdom. Bu was granted the title of Lord Dangyang.

At this point, the state of Chu was restored again.

The difference from the previous life in Ziying's memory is that because of Ziying's instigation back then, Liu Bang always thought that the reason why Ziying chased him back then was because Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu used his name to scare Ziying.

Therefore, I have always hated my uncle and nephew Xiang Yu, and instead of going to Xiang Liang like in my previous life, I have been developing my own power in Huling, Fangyu, Fengyi and other counties around Pei County.

ps There will be another chapter in a while, and then make the final revision.
