Dong Jie's visit means that Mi Jingju has set his sights on the Chu army and wants to win over Xiang Liang. But after all, Mi Jingju is from a partial tribe in the Chu state. With such a background, he cannot hold the throne or ascend to the throne. The so-called teacher is the strongest. Qu is old. If the name is incorrect, the words will not be correct. This is why Xiang Liang looks down on Mi Jingju. Therefore, in Xiang Liang's heart, he does not want to submit to Mi Jingju. But since Dong Jie has come to visit, Xiang Liang thinks that it is okay. At first glance, after all, the Qin State is still very powerful. It is not the time for the various rebel armies to start fighting among themselves.

At this time, the team hurriedly drove into Xu County. As soon as Xiang Liang entered the city gate, he, Xiang Bo, Xiang Yu and others rushed towards the county government office.

At this time, several Xiang Yu who were guarding the county government office saw Xiang Liang in person. They all saluted. A school captain came up to greet him. He cupped his hands and said, "The envoy has been waiting in the side hall for a long time."

Xiang Liang nodded and led everyone to walk quickly to the side hall. After a while, everyone strode into the side hall. A middle-aged man in simple clothes saw Xiang Liang and others walking in. He quickly stood up, raised his hands and smiled: "I am Dong Jie. By order of King Jingju of Chu, I have come to visit General Xiang Liang."

Xiang Liang looked Dong Qi up and down for a while, then he raised his hand and smiled back, "I am Xiang Liang. I have met Mr. Dong."

Xiang Liang made a gesture to please sit down. Everyone took their seats. Several generals stood behind Xiang Liang. At this time, several of his followers brought tea and placed it in front of everyone. At this time, Xiang Liang picked up a cup of tea and gently After taking a sip, the fragrance of tea overflowed. The fatigue of the journey was swept away. After putting down the tea cup, Xiang Liang smiled and said, "I don't know what the purpose of Mr. Dong's visit is."

Seeing that Xiang Liang finally spoke, Dong Gao also raised his hand and returned the greeting: "After the Qin's harsh rule and the unification of the Chu land, the Chu people all missed their homeland and hoped to overthrow the Qin country as soon as possible. And my king, Mi Jingju, upholds the aspirations of the Chu people and stands on his own. We have specially recruited heroes from all over the world to join forces and overthrow the violent Qin in one fell swoop and restore the old Chu. I hope General Xiang Liang can join us and serve the Chu State."

Speaking of this, Dong Gao picked up the tea cup and pretended to drink tea. However, he took the opportunity to glance at Xiang Liang. Seeing that his face was expressionless, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Dong Gao could only sigh softly, pretending to be sad, and sighed: "In the battle of Jiangling, your Majesty Xiang Yan died on the battlefield for the sake of the Chu State. Although he died, he was honored. Now General Xiang Liang has more than 100,000 troops and a huge momentum. It is more important to uphold his father's legacy and help Chu. Only the benevolent are considered. ."

Dong Gao's words were clearly forcing Xiang Liang to submit to Mi Jingju. But since Xiang Liang had decided to reject Dong Gao, he naturally would not agree to his request. At this time, after a short silence, Xiang Liang also pretended Melancholy, he sighed: "The situation in Shandong is now turbulent. The life and death of Chen Sheng, the king of Zhang Chu, is unknown. There is turmoil from all directions. The world is watching. The Qin army is powerful. It is unknown where Chu will go. Mr. Dong, can you let me think about it."

How could Dong Gai not hear Xiang Liang's words of polite rejection?

Moreover, he acted openly and openly, using Chen Sheng as a shield. In any case, Chen Sheng was born among ordinary people. How could he be crowned the leader? Thinking of this, Dong Gai was slightly unhappy and said in a sharp voice: "How could General Xiang Liang ignore our king like this? At that time, I, the Eastern Chu State, had more than 200,000 troops with armor, and the momentum was huge. The Qin army would be frightened when they saw it. Today, I invite the generals to join forces. It is my king's mercy. If my king changes his mind in the future, I am afraid..."

Speaking of this, Dong Gao's eyes showed disdain. He said in a low voice: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The general will decide what to do."

As soon as Dong Gao finished speaking, the sound of the iron sword being unsheathed suddenly sounded. Xiang Yu stepped forward angrily and went straight to Dong Gao.

The hall instantly became quiet. At this time, Dong Jie had already felt the cold murderous aura on Xiang Yu's body. He couldn't help but raise his hand to block it, and stood up quickly. From the side, Xiang Liang's angry scolding sounded: "Yu'er, don't be unreasonable."

Xiang Yu was about to walk in front of Dong Ji. Xiang Liang scolded him and said angrily: "Common man, if you dare to underestimate my Jiangdong Chu army again, this will be your fate."

Xiang Yu cut off a corner of the table with his sword. Then he sheathed the sword and returned behind Xiang Liang. At this time, Xiang Liang made a decisive response: "Master Dong's words today. Xiang Liang will remember them in his heart. He will be a military prime minister in the future." See you. Please show mercy to your country."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Liang snorted coldly and strode out of the hall. There was a burst of chaotic footsteps. Everyone followed and left. Only Dong Ji stood there blankly, looking at the backs of Xiang Liang and others. .He shook his head helplessly. This trip to Chu State was in vain.

On the other hand, after Xiang Liang walked out of the hall, the anger in his heart still couldn't be calmed down. After walking for a while, Xiang Liang turned back and looked at Xiang Yu. He resolutely ordered: "You will continue to march north with your troops tomorrow. Let me march towards Pengcheng."

...

Peixian County, Surabaya County. This is under the rule of Liu Bang. Since the White Snake Uprising, Liu Bang's reputation has spread far and wide. It has also expanded to all directions. But in the end, because Liu Yu died of illness, Liu Bang had to mourn at home and canceled the suppression of the Qin army in various places. .

During this period, Liu Bang ordered Pei County to defend the city tightly and prepare for war to prevent a war that might occur at any time. Especially in Shandong Province, Zhang Han fought large and small battles with more victories than defeats. This made the rebels from all walks of life even more frightened and cautious.

In just a few years, Liu Bang worked hard to govern and observed the sentiments of the people. Under his governance, Pei County became popular and the soldiers and horses were strong. At this time, Liu Bang had more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Although they could not all be equipped with leather armor, they were basically wooden. A. It is already complete. It is also a formidable and powerful army in Surabaya County.

It was almost noon at this time, but in the west of Peixian County, a Qin army of 20,000 people, holding the Qin flag high, was marching towards Fengyi. This is the subordinate town of Peixian County.

Liu Bang was also in this city at this time. It was not a tall city, but Liu Bang's nearly 30,000 troops were stationed here. It was for this reason that the Qin army targeted this place.

Since Zhang Han went north, the Qin army's ability to control Chu has been greatly strengthened. Small-scale battles have occurred from time to time in various places. There are wins and losses. And Liu Bang is undoubtedly a difficult force in Surabaya County. He said it's not a big deal. It's big. Even though it's small, it's famous far and wide and has a strong appeal.

The Qin army that sent troops to Pei County this time was Sichuan Supervisor Li Ying and Sichuan Guard Liao Zhan (Sichuan is Sishui County. In the old map of Qin State, Sichuan County is today's Sishui County. It is only because there is the Si River in Sichuan County. Therefore, Named Sishui County). King Mi Jingju of Chu had great intention to go south to Sishui County. Xiang Liang stationed troops in Xu County and had entered the border of Sishui County. It posed a great threat to Sishui County. As the governor of Sishui County, Liao Zhan finally decided. Start with Liu Bang and then gradually resist the various bandit armies.

Just after noon, rumbling drums beat slowly in the north of Fengyi. Aerial ladders were placed on the ground. Next to them stood soldiers preparing to lift the ladders. Teams of Qin troops lined up neatly. The front row was holding a handheld ladder. The vanguard of the shield. This is the rhythm of the upcoming siege.

Some small crossbow beds pulled by ox carts are being assembled. The Qin army is making final preparations before attacking the city.

In the city, in an inconspicuous military camp, Liu Bang's military tent is located here. At this time, Xiao He, Fan Kuai and other civil servants and generals are all gathered in the tent. The mourning period is about to pass. Liu Bang is also considering participating in the war in the Central Plains so that he can also occupy it. A place. He can also have a say in the future.

As for the current situation, Liu Bang also made a preliminary analysis. Since Chen Shengzhan's death, Mi Jingju has stood on his own, known as the Eastern Chu Army. His power cannot be underestimated. The most important thing is that he is a descendant of Chu. This is what Liu Bang cares about most. The problem is that he himself is from Chu. Therefore, Liu Bang has considered joining Mi Jingju's command and establishing some achievements.

Liu Bang once thought about standing on his own. But after all, Liu Bang came from a humble background. He wanted to win over people's hearts and stand on his own. This was very difficult to do. Therefore, Liu Bang did not hide his thoughts and discussed these with everyone. Xiao He agreed with Liu Bang's idea. The current situation in the world is chaotic. Zhang Han is powerful in Shandong. No one can defeat him. All the rebels are in danger. If they cannot establish a foundation at this time, they will easily be swallowed up. Especially this An era in which the weak eat the strong and the winner is king.

"Xiao Xiaopei County, it will never be possible. I agree with your lord's idea. If you can't build a foundation, you should find a backing. That is the best way." Xiao He sighed softly and expressed his inner thoughts.

There was silence in the big tent. Some people were thinking, while others were waiting for Liu Bang to make up his mind.

For Liu Bang, he wanted to be self-reliant, but he didn't want the Pei army to eventually fall because of his greed. This was a dilemma.

Liu Bang was always hesitant. He didn't know how to make a decision. At this time, Xiao general Zhou Bo walked in quickly. He cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there are Qin troops in the north of the city. It looks like they are going to attack Fengyi."

When he heard that the Qin army was coming to attack the city, Liu Bang suddenly changed his color and said angrily: "First capture this Qin army and then make a decision."

"No." The generals stood up resolutely and walked away.

...

Just as the Qin army was busy preparing to attack the city, the rumble of drums slowly sounded on Fengyi City. There were crowds of people and shouts continued.

At this time, the north gate slowly opened. A troop of Ge soldiers ran out quickly and lined up on both sides of the city gate. Then, the main force of the Pei army slowly came out. Opposite the Qin army, the chariots were in front and the cavalry was behind. The warriors were arrayed on both sides. Flags were flying, and drums and horns were making noise in the sky.

At the opening of the gate flag, Liu Bang rode out on his horse surrounded by people. Beside him, Xiao He and Cao Shen stood on the left and right. Behind him, more than 20 generals including Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Yong Chi, etc. stood in sequence. This was the first time after the mourning of Pei's army. A large-scale battle against the Qin army. The soldiers had been depressed for a long time. Now that they got the opportunity, they were all eager to fight.

In the murderous Pei army formation, after the sound of the three-tone drum, they waved their weapons and shouted loudly: "Mighty... Mighty..."

At this time, Liu Bang raised his right hand, and Pei Jun's shouts suddenly stopped. At this time, Liu Bang took a few steps forward on his horse, drew out his long sword from his waist, raised it high in the air, and shouted loudly: "Since Osawa Yi After the liberation, I will kill the snake to revolt and support the army. The purpose is to help the Chu State and enhance the prestige of our country. Now, Qin's harsh rule is causing suffering for the people. There is turmoil in all directions and the world is uneasy. In order to regain the Chu State and to overthrow the tyranny. Brothers. Come and kill with me."

Liu Bang's words were filled with indignation and passion. The morale of Pei's army was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards Qin's army like a big wave.

The Qin army, which had planned to attack the city, had no defensive formation. When they were suddenly charged by the Pei army, they were immediately in chaos. They ran in all directions. Those who escaped slowly were overtaken and killed by the Pei army. Some Qin soldiers, who were afraid of death, knelt on the ground. Throw down your weapons, kowtow and beg for surrender.

When the troops came to the city, Liu Bang led his army to defeat the Sichuan army. He ordered Yong Chi to defend the city. He led a large army to kill Sichuan County. Sichuan County could not hold on and was broken by Liu Bang. Sichuan was jailed. Sichuan Shou led his troops to escape from the north gate.
