The war drums of departure rumbled, and the Chu army slowly boarded the ship (from then on, the Xiang family went north, and the Xiang family became the orthodox family, named Chu army). One after another, the sterns began to set sail, and they were about to set off. On the river bank, they came

The officials who saw him off stood in a row and said their final goodbyes.

Not far away, the last army ready to board the ship appeared. The leader was Xiang Yu. He wore a helmet and armor, and looked majestic. A long halberd in his hand was glowing with cold light.

There are about two thousand people in this army. They are the most elite troops of the Chu army. Each of them is equipped with an iron sword, and the shields they use are also covered with a thin layer of iron sheet, and the middle is filled with wooden boards. Moreover, this army wears

, all made of leather armor, named Hu Benjun.

The troops boarded the ship one after another, and Xiang Yu rode his horse straight towards Xiang Liang. As he approached, Xiang Yu dismounted, stuck his halberd straight on the ground, knelt on one knee in front of Xiang Liang, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, nephew

I'm about to leave for a long distance, so I came here to say goodbye."

Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction. He reached out and patted Xiang Yu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "As an uncle, I have never worried about Yu'er's ability to lead troops, but you have a violent nature and like to kill. This is your biggest shortcoming. This time

Going north, I hope you can stay calm, be calm when things happen, don't be impulsive, and conquer every inch of Qin's land with virtue."

Although Xiang Yu was unhappy to hear Xiang Liang's words, he did not dare to refute, so he could only nod his head and sing a promise. At this time, several horses were rushing towards him from a distance, and the leader was Long Qie. At this time, he was already raising his whip and shouting

: "Brother Yu, the time has come, it's time to set off!"

Seeing Long Qie coming to urge him, Xiang Yu once again bowed his hands to his uncle and stood up suddenly. At this time, his eyes fell on Xiang Zhuang, his favorite brother who had only been together for a few days and was about to be separated again.

Xiang Yu walked over, tapped Xiang Zhuang's shoulder with his right hand, and said with a loud smile: "Zhuang'er, don't fall behind. Don't call me your brother and step into Pengcheng first."

Xiang Zhuang also smiled back and said: "Brother, don't underestimate me. I don't know who will come first!"

Seeing Xiang Zhuang like this, Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed again. At this time, the horn sound in the distance had been blown many times. It was an auspicious time. Xiang Yu then ordered: "Send the order, sacrifice the flag, and set off!"

At the river port, several cattle and sheep were beheaded and their blood sacrificed to the flag. At this time, Xiang Yu had already led his horse and boarded the boat with Long Qiejibu and others.

On the bow of the boat, Xiang Yu quietly stared at the faces of everyone on the river port, everyone he cared about, but in the end he failed to see Yu E's figure. Perhaps, she had forgotten herself at this time...

With regret, Xiang Yu once again surrendered to Xiang Liang and others. At his order, the warship slowly left the river port and headed for Guangling.

But not long after the big ship left the river port, a carriage hurried to the river port. The carriage was very fast, but it failed to catch up with the departing warship. Just as the warship was gradually moving away, the carriage curtain

After being opened, Yu'e stuck her head out and stared into the distance quietly.

"Xiang Yu, I wish you a speedy victory and return. I'm waiting for you in Kuaiji." Yu E sighed softly, ordered the carriage to turn around, and hurried back to Wuxian County.

At this time, it had been more than half an hour since Xiang Yu left, but the Dantu River Port had not returned to calm. Although the sound of war drums was not as strong as before, there were still some war drums beating alternately and non-stop.

Several warships are slowly approaching the shore. These ships are the ships of Xiangzhuang of Hengshan County. The soldiers and horses on board are brought by Xiangzhuang from Hengshan County. At this time, preparations are being made for departure. This is when Xiangzhuang is about to

Rush back to Zhu County.

Xiang Liang's order has been issued, asking Xiang Zhuang to go north from Hengshan County, take Ruyin, and then transfer to Sishui County.

This is a crucial battle, and it is also a battle that depends on whether the Xiang family can gain a foothold in Jiangbei and establish a foundation. More importantly, Chen Sheng has been defeated. The Xiang family will replace Chen Sheng and re-establish a powerful Chu state in Jiangbei.

However, it is inevitable that the king of Chu will be a descendant of the Chu state.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Liang walked slowly towards the river port. After a brief silence, Xiang Liang sighed: "You have to be careful about everything when you go north this time."

Speaking of this, Xiang Liang stopped, stared at Xiangzhuang with bright eyes, and continued: "From Hengshan County to the north, you must pass through Chen County. I am very worried that you will encounter Zhang Han's main force. Once you meet Zhang Han's main force,

When they encounter them, your 30,000 troops can easily be swallowed up by them, so you have to learn to avoid their sharp edges, understand?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded and promised. He knew very well that it would not be difficult for Zhang Han's army of more than 400,000 to defeat his 30,000 troops. But Xiang Zhuang knew better that he was not Chen Sheng or Wu Guang or those incompetent people.

If he really encounters Zhang Han, Xiang Zhuang feels that he can set a trap to defeat him. However, Xiang Zhuang can only think about these words in his heart. He dare not tell his uncle, otherwise, Xiang Liang will definitely say that he is young.

If you are frivolous, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so give him a scolding.

At this time, Xiang Liang saw in Xiang Zhuang's eyes his disdain for Zhang Han and his desire for this war. Maybe his nephew was not as weak as he thought. Maybe he was too worried, and Xiang Liang also felt sad in his heart.

It is clear that they should be given more opportunities to use their strengths.

At this time, Xiang Liang didn't want to discuss this issue too much. He sighed softly, took Xiang Zhuang's hand, patted it a few times, and said: "Remember, no matter what you do, don't underestimate the enemy, don't be conceited, you must

Be down to earth.”

His uncle's request again made Xiang Zhuang realize that Xiang Liang had high hopes for Xiang Zhuang. He even regarded Xiang Zhuang's 30,000 troops as the main force. Xiang Zhuang was moved and knelt down on one knee, touching his chest with his right hand.

He said: "My nephew, please remember your uncle's teachings."

Xiang Liang nodded. At this time, the river port was not far away. Xiang Liang stared at Xiangzhuang for a moment again and sighed: "Go, go back early, and organize the troops to go north."

Xiang Zhuang sang his promise, turned around and ordered one of his followers: "Send the order, everyone board the ship."

He left with Changnuo, and not far away, the sound of the horn that was about to set off sounded. The low sound of the horn was like a dragon that had just awakened, roaring and neighing.

Xiang Zhuang originally planned to board the ship, but he saw Kong Yu and Kong Xiuyun not far away who came to see them off. At this time, Kong Ji had received Xiang Zhuang's order and boarded the ship in advance, but Kong Xiuyun looked at Xiang reluctantly.

Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang felt that he should not leave quietly like this. At the very least, he should say goodbye to Kong Xiuyun.

Xiang Zhuang handed the reins to his entourage and walked towards Kong Kun and Kong Xiuyun alone. As he approached, Xiang Zhuang saluted Kong Kun and said, "Xiang Zhuang greets my uncle."

Kong Yu looked at Xiang Zhuang and couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to be so polite."

After a pause, Kong Xiuyun noticed that beside him, Kong Xiuyun seemed to have something to say, but because he was there, he held it back again. Kong Yun could only smile and said: "The war is about to begin. I have nothing to tell you. Just remember."

In a word, 'plan before taking action'."

After saying that, Kong Yu smiled and waved his hand, took Kong Xiuyun aside and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, just talk to Yun'er. I'll take my leave first."

Kong Yu walked away in a hurry. Xiang Zhuang looked at the slightly reserved Kong Xiuyun and couldn't help but smile: "Parting is about to take place, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"I..." Kong Xiuyun sighed. Over the years, Xiang Zhuang has been fighting abroad and rarely comes back. She is used to this kind of life. Every time Xiang Zhuang comes back, they only get together for a few hours before they are separated again.

, but this time, why do I always feel a touch of sadness in my heart, my nose is always sour, and I feel like crying.

After "I" for a long time, Kong Xiuyun finally plucked up the courage and said: "I just hope you can return triumphantly as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you in Wuxian County."

It was just such a short sentence, but it contained all of Kong Xiuyun's hopes and her care. Xiang Zhuang felt that no matter how many words he said, he could not express his love for Kong Xiuyun. This warm love was just like that in winter.

A ray of warm sunshine brings infinite reverie to people's hearts.

Just such a sentence made Xiang Zhuang feel sore in his nose. He had wronged Kong Xiuyun too much. In just a moment, Xiang Zhuang took Kong Xiuyun into his arms, half hugged her, and used his strong

His arms tightly protected her, and his hot lips gradually pressed against Kong Xiuyun's lips.

The two kissed passionately in full view of the public...

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and the actions of the two people seemed to have stopped at this moment, allowing time to freeze at this moment forever.

I don't know how much time passed, but the two of them broke away from each other's embrace with shortness of breath. The departure horn kept blowing, urging Xiang Zhuang to set off. At the last moment of parting, Xiang Zhuang gently touched Kong Xiu Yunjiao with his hand.

/ With a tender face, he said softly: "Wait for me, I will come back alive!"

At this moment, tears welled up in Kong Xiuyun's eyes, and she could not suppress the sadness in her heart.

The warship slowly left the river port. With this blessing and Kong Xiuyun's love, Xiang Zhuang embarked on the journey eastward.

On the bow of the boat, Cao Feng was staring blankly at the surging river water. Her heart felt bitter and astringent.

The promotion just now did not bring her any happiness. On the contrary, the tight embrace between Xiang Zhuang and Kong Xiuyun just at the river port deeply touched Cao Feng's fragile heart. She knew that no matter what efforts she made,

None of them could save Xiang Zhuang's heart.

But she was unwilling. She didn't understand why, no matter how hard she tried, Xiang Zhuang still refused to share a piece of the pie with her. Maybe, he had given her a share, but Cao Feng knew very well that what she wanted was not

These.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" Xiang Zhuang's voice suddenly came to mind in her ears, and Cao Feng's heart tightened. She quickly looked back, and before she knew it, Xiang Zhuang had arrived behind her.

"No...it's nothing." Cao Feng hesitated. Xiang Zhuang seemed to have seen the clues. He couldn't help but hug Cao Feng into his arms. How could Xiang Zhuang be willing to hurt this girl who was devoted to him?

"No matter what the future holds, I promise you that I will not abandon you." Xiang Zhuang said sincerely.

At this moment, Cao Feng felt warm in his heart, and the displeasure and disappointment in his heart just now were swept away. Maybe he was too worried, maybe he was too stingy.

Just when Cao Feng was thinking wildly, a personal attendant came over quickly, cupped his hands and said: "General, there are ships from Poyang ahead."

After hearing the report from his personal followers, Xiang Zhuang nodded, but at this moment Cao Feng wanted to kill this personal soldier. Just when he and Xiang Zhuang finally hugged each other, this blind thing actually came.

!

Just when Cao Feng was glaring at his entourage, Xiang Zhuang saw on the bow of the ship that opposite, there were more than ten ships of the Poyang Army, each of which was full of soldiers. The leading female general waved her arms and shouted excitedly

: "General Xiangzhuang, we meet again!"
