Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 487
Now occupying Dong'e City is Tian Rong, the cousin of Tian Dan, the original king of Qi. After Tian Dan's defeat, Tian Rong gathered the remnants of Qi and retreated all the way to Dong'e City, and the vanguard of the Qin army followed closely behind. left Dong'a City.

What made Tian Rong feel the most grief and indignation was that Qi State was no longer the original Qi State in such a short period of time. After winning the final victory, he established himself as the new king of Qi, with Tian Jiao as the prime minister and Tian Jian as the general.

Although Tian Jia was afraid of Qin's attack, Tian Rong, the cousin of the previous King of Qi, did not want him to come back alive.

Therefore, the Qi State's rescue army only lined up to defend the Qin army on the east bank of Jishui to prevent the Qin army from crossing Jishui, but did nothing to save Tian Rong's Qi army who was besieged by the Qin army on the west bank of Jishui.

In desperation, Tian Rong could only ask for help from the already well-established Chu State.

In fact, even without Tian Rong's request for help, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu led the elite of Chu State to the north to seek a confrontation with the Qin army.

Naturally, Xiang Liang's ambition is not just to be a prince who ruled the Chu land, and he is not short-sighted as he has a profound family background and has been a general for generations.He knew that he had to attack Qin's soldiers as soon as possible. If Zhao Yanqi waited until Qin was destroyed, Chu would be alone.

What's more, he has a wise man like Fan Zeng beside him to advise, and he will not do something similar to Chen Shengren's death by Zhou Wen's lonely army and Qin army.

Therefore, not long after Tian Rong's messenger set off, he unexpectedly encountered Xiang Liang's army who was rushing to reinforce Dong'e on the way.

Xiang Liang took his nephew Xiang Yu as the vanguard, and [-] soldiers went to the city of Dong'e first to fight against the vanguard of the Qin army who besieged Dong'e.

In this battle, Xiang Yu's reputation as the overlord first appeared, and the Qin army besieging Dong'e looked so thin in front of Xiang Yu, who was rampant in the army formation like gods. The war spread throughout Kanto.

This was the first victory of the rebel army against the Qin army.

Hearing that Dong'e was defeated, the main force of the Qin army led by Zhang Han immediately accelerated to move towards Dong'e.

Xiang Liang originally planned to gather the Qi army nearby and join forces to fight westward with the main force of the Qin army. However, to Xiang Liang's surprise, the day after the siege of Dong'e was lifted, Tian Rong led the old Qi army under his command. , crossed Jishui and launched an attack on the army of Xinqi Wang Tianjia.

In Tian Rong's view, Tian Jia was naturally a rebel, and his title of king of Qi was innumerable, so Tian Shi, the son of Tian Dan, was appointed king of Qi, and led the army to attack each other with Tian Jia's subordinates.

Qi directly went to civil war.

So Xiang Liang could only drag his sick body and lead the Chu army to fight the Qin army alone. Although Zhang Han was worthy of being a famous general in the world, Xiang Yu, who was known as the overlord, could not be regarded by ordinary people. The Qin army fought against the Chu army several times. They all suffered a lot from Xiang Yu's men and were forced to retreat to Dingtao City.

Xiang Liang's army immediately surrounded Dingtao.

After this battle, the prestige of the Chu army soared, and it was quite possible to become the leader of the world. Even the two countries of Yan and Zhao sent envoys to congratulate Xiang Liang and expressed that they would send troops to help.

Under this favorable situation, Xiang Liang, who had just taken power for the first time, swelled. In his opinion, the Qin army was only mediocre. The reason why it was invincible before was not because the Qin army was too strong, but because the previous Zhou Wen and Chen Sheng were too weak. up.

Otherwise, how could the Qin army be defeated again and again when it met the Chu army.

Under this mentality, Xiang Liang disregarded Fan Zeng's dissuasion, and sent Xiang Yu to attack the surrounding counties and counties of Dingtao.

After the division of troops, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to capture Chengyang and other county towns one after another, and slaughtered the whole city. For a while, Xiang Yu's name could stop children from crying at night.

In Dingtao City, Zhang Han, after several probing attacks to confirm that the god-like Chu general on the battlefield had left, took advantage of the night to launch a general attack on the Chu army's position.

Xiang Liang, without Xiang Yu this time, finally experienced the combat power of the Qin army for himself, and the newly recruited Chu army was defeated in one battle.

Xiang Liang died in this battle.

After Xiang Yujun learned that Xiang Liang had died in battle, he immediately gave up his plan to attack Chenliu, and retreated to Pengcheng to prevent the Qin army from going south.

However, Xiang Yu's worries did not become a reality. Zhang Han, who defeated Xiang Liang's army, did not go south, but rushed back to the army and rushed towards Zhao Guo, who had frequently changed during the decisive battle with Xiang Liang. That was his own way out.

Xiang Yu did not wait for the news of the Qin army going south, but waited for another news that was very bad for him.

Liu Bang, who was originally entrenched in Pei County, after learning that Xiang Liang had died in battle, led his army south to Xutai one step ahead, and went directly to King Huai of Chu.

After King Huai of Chu got Liu Bang's new force, he finally got rid of the puppet situation. Taking advantage of Xiang Liang's death, he used Liu Bang's power to integrate all the power of Chu State, and took the general power directly into his own.

He was originally the king of Chu, and the generals who stayed behind for him had no reason to resist when Xiang Liang died and Xiang Yu had insufficient reputation and was outside.

King Huai of Chu, who integrated all the military forces, led all the current military forces in Chu under Liu Bang's suggestion, and went directly north to Pengcheng. Before Xiang Yu could figure out what was going on, he deprived Xiang Yu of his military power, and then moved his capital to Pengcheng.

After taking power, King Huai of Chu only gave Xiang Yu the title of Duke of Lu, while Liu Bang was named Dang County Chief and Marquis of Wu'an, and still commanded the original army.

After becoming the real King of Chu, King Huai of Chu did not just stick to this one-third of an acre of land, but sent two armies to continue fighting against the Qin army. Together with the princes, go to rescue the besieged Julu City of Zhao State.

The other branch, Liu Bang, was the main general, and also commanded [-] troops. Taking advantage of the main force of the Qin army being entangled in Julu and the chaos in Guanzhong, they marched west to Guanzhong.

(Everyone in the state of Chu knew that Ziying had led an army into the pass, but they didn't know that the Nanyue Qin army broke through Wuguan in such a short period of time and occupied Xianyang City. They still thought that the two armies of Guanzhong New Qin and Old Qin were in a melee.)
However, when Song Yi marched to Anyang, he stopped his army and stopped advancing. Xiang Yu beheaded Song Yi, and King Huai of Chu was forced to appoint Xiang Yu as the general.

Then Xiang Yu led the army across the river, sank the boats, broke the cauldrons, burned the huts, and held three days of rations to fight the Qin army who was attacking the giant deer.Zhang Han could only defend the Jiyuan in the south of Julu City, while sending people to Xianyang for help.

Although he doesn't know the situation in Xianyang at the moment, no one can regard his existing 20 Qin army as waiting to die.

At the same time, Liu Bang, who was in charge of the Western Expedition, also led his army to attack Wancheng in Nanyang County, trying to open the passage to Guanzhong. The Qin army in Wancheng also asked Xianyang for help. At this time, Ziying had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

ps: These two chapters are mainly foreshadowing. Based on historical facts, some changes and explanations have been made according to the progress of the book. I wrote two chapters, but in fact this period of history is very exciting. If it is written in detail, I am afraid that dozens of chapters will not be completed. However, Because it has nothing to do with the protagonist, it can only be abbreviated.
