Chapter 17 Liu Bang's Westward Advance

"Xiang Yu, are you going to rebel?" Song Yi saw that the situation was not right and immediately shouted, but Xiang Yu was furious and lost his mind. He held the sword in his hand and pressed towards Mi Xin step by step. More than 20 guards looked at each other. They Everyone knew that they were no match for Xiang Yu, but for Mi Xin's safety, the guards refused to slack off and confronted Xiang Yu.

The situation gradually got out of control. Liu Bang hurriedly stood in front of Xiang Yu and said urgently: "Brother Yu, there must be a reason why the king refuses to let you go west. You might as well listen to what the king has to say."

Liu Bang's words were like a moderator, Xiang Yu stopped, and all the generals were angry at Mi Xin's broken promise. At this time, Song Yi sighed softly: "We are discussing, Zhang Han is the general of hundreds of battles." "No one but General Xiang Yu can fight the enemy, so we made a temporary decision to cancel General Xiang Yu's plan to advance westward."

Song Yi's words made Xiang Yu's angry temper calm down a little. At this time, Mi Xin also agreed: "That's true. Why are you so impatient?"

At this time, a guard from outside the door rushed in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the State of Zhao is outside asking for an audience."

After hearing this, Song Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "They are indeed here, General Xiang Yu, our opportunity to go north has come,"

Since there was an envoy asking to see him, Xiang Yu had to give Mi Xin face, so he sheathed his sword and stood aside with his generals. Liu Bang also stepped aside to wait for orders. At this time, Shen Yang hurried into the hall and saw Mi Xinlue. He was panicked and surprised in his heart, but the Zhao Kingdom was already in dire straits at this time. Shen Yang had no intention of thinking about anything else, so he bowed his hands and bowed to Mi Xin and said: "I am the King of Xia'an State, Shen Yang. By the order of the King of Zhao, I would like to express my special gratitude to you." The country is asking for help, but I am dying. I hope your Majesty can send troops as soon as possible to save my king from danger."

Shen Yang's arrival was expected. At this time, Mi Xin reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She adjusted her mentality slightly and got rid of the panic just now. She looked at Shen Yang and asked with fake concern: "Now Zhao How far has the war on earth reached?"

"My king retreated to Julu, and he and Chen Yu divided their forces to garrison. They were each other's horns. The Qin army made several fierce attacks. Although they failed to succeed, the number of troops in Julu City is limited and there is insufficient food and grass. If the stalemate lasts for a long time, it will inevitably fall. Please send troops as soon as possible. ,"

From Shen Yang's words, Mi Xin could hear the urgency of the Zhao Kingdom being besieged. At this time, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said calmly: "If the Zhao Kingdom dies, how can we, the Chu Kingdom, fight alone?" Da Qin,"

As he spoke, his eyes wandered around the hall and fell on everyone. Xiang Yu also took a step forward at this time, cupped his hands and said: "In that case, please allow me to lead troops north to cross the river to fight against Qin."

Xiang Yu took the initiative to ask for help, and Mi Xin couldn't help but shake her head secretly, but he had just promised Xiang Yu to lead his army north, and it was difficult to change his mind at this time. However, he could put a general on top of Xiang Yu to suppress him. In this way, he would neither break his promise nor worry about Xiang Yu. Mastering the entire collection alone threatens her own position. Thinking of this, Mi Xin's eyes fell on Song Yi who was standing aside, and ordered: "Go into battle to kill the enemy. Xiang Yu can defeat one hundred enemies and be invincible, but to defeat Qin with conspiracy, you must be a general. This is I hope the general will spare no effort to go there in person,"

Song Yi sang the promise with great enthusiasm, walked out of the court, and stood beside Xiang Yu. At this time, Mi Xin loudly ordered: "Order Song Yi to be the champion of Qingzi, lead an army of 70,000, Xiang Yu to be the deputy general, and Fan Zeng to be the second general, and go north to rescue him." Zhao, there must be no mistakes,"

Mi Xin changed his mind again, and Xiang Yu was extremely disappointed with him. However, considering that he could go north to fight against Qin, fight Zhang Han, and avenge his uncle, Xiang Yu had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and cupped his hands and said: "The final general will get the order."

Cold eyes shot out of Xiang Yu's eyes, looking directly at Mi Xin. Although Mi Xin was frightened, she did not dare to show it on her face. After hesitating for a moment, Mi Xin avoided Xiang Yu's gaze, looked at Shen Yang again, and ordered: "You can go back and report to King Zhao first that our army will move north soon. Please hold on and don't give up easily."

Shen Yang was overjoyed, sang a promise, and left in a hurry.

Silence returned to the main hall again. Mi Xin was worried that Xiang Yu would get angry again and she could not suppress him, so she had to stand up and said: "General Liu Bang, the day after tomorrow you will send troops to march westward. I will personally see you off. Please retreat."

Liu Bang sang his promise and was about to leave, but Xiang Yu grabbed Liu Bang and sneered: "Remember our bet, whoever enters Xianyang first will be the king of Qin."

Liu Bang was a little surprised, Xiang Yu was going north, why would he say this to him? Just when Liu Bang was thinking about the intention of Xiang Yu's words, Xiang Yu had already let go of his hand, looked at Mi Xin, cupped his hands and said, "I will also retire." "

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang retreated together, leaving only Mi Xin and Song Yi in the hall. They looked at each other and both let out a sigh of relief. The tension in their hearts disappeared.

Xiang Yu's loss of control was unexpected by the two of them. No one could have imagined that Xiang Yu would go on a rampage in the Chu Palace, causing Mi Xin to lose her prestige and lose all face.

With a sigh, Mi Xin looked at Song Yi and said with a helpless smile: "It seems that General Song needs to be more careful when he goes north this time."

"Haha, the bravery of an ordinary man is not something to be afraid of. Please don't worry, Your Majesty," Song Yi shook his head and smiled. At this time, a guard walked in again, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Xiang Zhuang is outside asking for an audience."

"Xiang Zhuang," Mi Xin said slightly displeased. Xiang Yu was enough to give him a headache. Why did Xiang Zhuang come to join in the fun? He originally wanted to order him to disappear, but he was afraid of losing face. As he was hesitating, Song Yi was beside him. He smiled and said: "Why worry, my king? Xiang Zhuang is not a brave man, and he may not be as arrogant as Xiang Yu. You might as well see him."

"Okay, let him come in," Mi Xin sighed, walked back to the imperial desk and sat down. At this time, Song Yi also returned to his seat and sat down. Both of them lowered their heads and remained silent until there was a loud shout outside the hall. There was a sound of footsteps, and when the two raised their heads, Xiang Zhuang had already walked in quickly, came to the center of the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Xiang Zhuang, I have met the king,"

"General Xiang Zhuang, please rise." Mi Xin pretended to be calm and raised her hand. At this time, Mi Xin discovered that Xiang Zhuang was actually wearing armor. Was he about to go on an expedition?

With doubts, Mi Xin asked: "Why is General Xiangzhuang dressed like this?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know. I have received news that nearly 50,000 Qin troops have set out from Wuguan. Their destination is most likely Chen County or Hengshan County. If these two places are lost, Sishui County will be in danger."

Mi Xin was slightly panicked and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this news reliable?"

"This news is absolutely reliable. I heard that the Qin army has left Wuguan. The army is pressing down on the border. There are tens of thousands of people in urgent need. Please make a decision as soon as possible," Xiang Zhuang said. At this time, Mi Xin looked at Song Yi helplessly and sighed. : "I'm afraid our army can't go north,"

Mi Xin suddenly changed his mind, which made Song Yi a little helpless. However, since Xiang Zhuang came looking for Mi Xin and came in armor, he must have a countermeasure. He looked at Xiang Zhuang and said with a smile: "General Xiang Zhuang is coming, there must be something Let’s talk about the countermeasures,”

"Haha, General Song is really smart. When I come this time, I want to ask Your Majesty to allow me to bring back my old troops and garrison them in Hengshan County. I can check the Qin army's eastward advance and wait for an opportunity to destroy this army. If there is a chance in the future, I can also Go straight to Nanyang County, march to Wuguan, and destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop." Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang's sharp eyes stared directly at Mi's heart, his tone increased, and he said in a slightly threatening tone: "If the king only considers going north to aid Zhao instead of "Consider the threat from Nanyang County. Once my army leaves and the capital is empty, the Qin army is likely to send troops to attack Pengcheng. By then, even if the army comes back to support, it will not be able to help. I still ask the king to commit suicide."

After Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, Mi Xin fell into deep thought. At this time, his eyes glanced at Song Yi, who was also staring at Mi Xin. Their eyes met. Song Yi nodded slightly, and Mi Xin could only sigh: "That being the case, I agree to General Xiang Zhuang's request and hand over the defense of Hengshan County and Chen County to General Xiang Zhuang. I hope General Xiang Zhuang will not disappoint my expectations."

"The last general will do his duty faithfully and guard against the Qin army. Please rest assured, Your Majesty,"

"When will General Xiangzhuang plan to set out?" Mi Xin asked seemingly aimlessly. In fact, he already secretly hated the Xiang family in his heart. The army came to threaten her and demanded soldiers and horses. The two brothers had no good cake, but Mi Xin was unable to deal with these two men at this time. She could only wait for the war to subside. In Xu Tuzhi,

When Xiang Zhuang saw Mi Xin asking, he cupped his hands and replied, "Gather your troops today and set off in three days."

"I will see you off then..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now," Xiang Zhuang bowed his hand and hurriedly left the hall without waiting for Mi Xin to say anything. Looking at Xiang Zhuang's leaving figure, Mi Xin's eyes gradually turned malicious. One day, he must Killing everyone in the Xiang family would have seriously threatened her throne. Thinking of this, Mi Xin said bitterly: "If we don't kill the Xiang family, we will never have peace. Alas..."

,,,,,,

Two days later, to the north of Pengcheng, 50,000 Chu troops marched out of the city gate in a mighty manner and headed west. On the city tower, the farewell drums beat non-stop, and horns sounded from time to time.

This is when Liu Bang's army is about to go on an expedition. Beside the city gate, Mi Xin is accompanied by Song Yi and Chen Ying, practicing for Liu Bang. Chen Ying has just rushed back to Pengcheng. What happened in the past few days, Chen Ying has a little I heard that when he advocated suppressing the Xiang family, he had a measure, but Mi Xin seemed to have thrown the measure aside since she trusted Song Yi. This made Chen Ying have a very bad impression of Song Yi, and he also tried to persuade Mi Xin. But Mi Xin persisted, so Chen Ying gave up.

However, Chen Ying still agreed with Song Yi's strategy of advancing westward. If the Qin State could be destroyed and pushed directly into Xianyang, then the Qin State would be destroyed and the three-year war would be over.

At this time, Mi Xin had not spoken yet, but Chen Ying had already laughed and said: "General Liu, the king has high expectations for you. I hope you will not let down the king's trust."

As soon as Chen Ying said this, Liu Bang quickly knelt down on one knee, gave Mi Xin a military salute, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to enter Guanzhong and annihilate the Qin State."

Mi Xin smiled and nodded: "General Liu marches westward. He should be gentle and don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. I will wait in Pengcheng for news of the great victory in Guanzhong. At that time, I will never break my promise and make you the King of Qin. "

Liu Bang thanked him, he turned around and took the reins from his attendant, got on his horse, offered his hand to Liu Bang again, and ordered Zhou Bo and others: "Let's go."

The mighty Chu army headed towards Dang County, where Liu Bang still had more than 10,000 troops. Liu Bang decided to merge these troops and then marched towards Guanzhong.
