After saying goodbye to the old man, Xiang Zhuang hurriedly left Xiaofeng. Under the guidance of the young Taoist priest, Xiang Zhuang came to the side hall of Zhongnan Mountain. Here, Xiang Zhuang saw Gui Yinghao covered with scars.

Although he was seriously injured, Gui Yinghao was out of danger, and with the careful care of the little Taoist priest in the temple, Gui Yinghao was almost awake at this time. He was resting on the bed//, when he heard the faint sound of footsteps, Gui Yinghao looked up

, seeing Xiang Zhuang walking slowly, his surprised eyes were full of tears. After a long time, he choked and sighed: "General, brothers... are all dead."

He wanted to get up, but his injuries were still serious. Gui Yinghao struggled a few times and then gave up. Xiang Zhuang also stepped forward, pressed Gui Yinghao with his hands, and comforted him: "Don't move, your injury is not healed yet.

"

"I..." Gui Yinghao choked, and after a long while, he sighed: "It was my rapid advance with light troops and eagerness for success that caused the death of my brothers in the Qinling Mountains. I am guilty... General, please kill me, already

Comfort the spirits of the brothers in heaven."

"Stop talking nonsense. If it were me, I would follow the assassin." Xiang Zhuang patted Gui Yinghao's shoulder lightly, looked at the little Taoist priest aside, and asked, "Can he leave?"

"Donor, his injury is very serious. I suggest you leave him here to recuperate for a few months. When his injury is healed, we will let him leave on his own." The little Taoist bowed his hands and Xiang Zhuang nodded.

Nodding, he looked at Gui Yinghao again and said, "Relax and recover. I already know who the assassins are. You don't have to worry about this anymore."

Xiang Zhuang did not blame himself. Gui Yinghao felt a sense of sourness in his heart. He held back his tears and refused to let them fall. After a while, Gui Yinghao nodded: "General, take care."

"Take good care of yourself. I'm in the army, waiting for your return!" Xiang Zhuang patted Gui Yinghao on the shoulder, turned and left. On the side, Lotte glanced at Gui Yinghao and looked at him with encouraging eyes. Gui Yinghao was already there.

His face was pale and he was obviously very tired. With a sigh, Lotte quickly left the side hall.

With his team, Xiang Zhuang left Zhongnan Mountain and hurried to Lantian County. After marching day and night, Xiang Zhuang left the Qinling Mountains. Not far away was Lantian, which was under Liu Bang's jurisdiction. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he

Xiang Zhuang ordered people to go to Lantian County to prepare some rations, and everyone headed east again.

On the west bank of the Bahe River, Xiangzhuang saw the Chu army stationed here. Inside the central army, his own flag was hung high. Xiangzhuang was sure that this must be the location of his military camp.

Although he didn't know why the army was stationed here, Xiang Zhuang already vaguely felt something in his heart.

He led everyone and hurried to the camp. When he was approaching the camp, scouts had already entered the camp and reported to Kong Ji, Ding Gu and others. Everyone hurried to greet them and met Xiang Zhuang outside the camp gate.

"Kong Ji failed to defend the camp, please ask the general to punish him." Kong Ji just met Xiang Zhuang, and he quickly walked forward, knelt down on the ground, and held his hands to plead guilty. Xiang Zhuang was surprised. He looked at the big building not far away.

Camp, the answer is already clear, there are probably only more than 10,000 troops stationed here.

"Wu Rui, have you seized power?" Xiang Zhuang asked.

"Well..." Kong Ji nodded. Xiang Zhuang didn't have any frustrated expression. This was something Xiang Zhuang had expected in Zhongnan Mountain. He looked at everyone and saw that everyone was safe and sound, including Ying Liang and Ying Xue.

Standing among them, Xiang Zhuang felt relieved. He put aside his displeasure, pointed at the camp and said, "Let's talk inside."

Just after crossing Chidao and arriving at the Chinese army's tent, Ying Xueyue had already walked a few steps and said beside Xiang Zhuang: "General Zhuang, don't send me away next time, okay?"

"But you didn't complete the task." Xiang Zhuang replied with a hint of joking, but Ying Xueyue was stunned on the spot. She looked at Xiang Zhuang for a long time and said resolutely: "Next time, I will definitely complete the task."

"No, I want you to be safe and sound." Xiang Zhuang suddenly changed the topic and stared at Ying Xueyue. At this moment, her competitive mentality disappeared. Ying Xueyue's eyes were slightly red. She bit her lower lip tightly and nodded vigorously.

.

In the big tent, Xiang Zhuang summoned all the generals. Except for Mei Yi and his men, everyone else came. They all gathered together. Xiang Zhuang sat high on it. After everyone performed a military salute, Kong Ji sighed: "Although the Poyang army

He is not our direct army, but for so long, the general has led this army to travel north and south, and he can be regarded as treating him well. But suddenly the army changed, and in my heart..."

Kong Ji did not continue, but everyone knew what Kong Ji wanted to say later, but Xiang Zhuang did not show any disappointment. He thought for a moment and smiled: "Don't mention this matter anymore, as long as our

With the army here, my powerful archers and cavalry, and the bravery of my infantry, I can still sweep across the battlefield."

At this time, Xiang Zhuang changed the topic and asked again: "Brother Xiang Yu, has he entered Xianyang?"

"yes."

"How is the situation in Xianyang?"

"Currently, we only know that the coalition forces are crossing the border without leaving a single piece of armor behind. The city of Xianyang is filled with smoke. There are cries and begging for mercy everywhere. The corpses on the ground have turned into white bones. It is too horrible to see." The speaker was Zhou Sheng, who had served as chief of staff.

Nei Shi has deep feelings for the Xianyang area. Now that his homeland has become a scorched earth, Zhou Sheng will inevitably feel sad.

All this did not exceed Xiang Zhuang's expectations. When the coalition forces entered the city, they would inevitably lose control. It was regrettable that he could not persuade Xiang Yu or change Xiang Yu. All this happened inevitably.

At the moment, nothing is important. The most important thing is to rush to Xianyang as soon as possible and make Xiang Yu recognize him and allocate Jiangdong land to him before he can make him king.

After a brief thought, Xiang Zhuang ordered: "Instruct the three armies to set off tomorrow and march towards Xianyang. In addition, send someone to contact Hua Yu and ask him to do a good job in the response."

Everyone sang the promise and left each other.

…

Afang Palace is one of the more massive projects of the Qin State. It has been managed by Qin Shihuang and Qin II for two generations. However, due to the vastness of the project, Afang Palace has not been completed yet.

At this time, Afang Palace had only one front hall, located in Shanglin Garden to the west of Xianyang. The palace was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people arrayed in it. At this time, nearly 150,000 corvees were gathered here.

Many corvees thought that this was Xiang Yu's kindness and that after the coalition forces invaded Xianyang, they would help them rehabilitate and they could return to their homeland without any worries.

But the rumbling drums and low blowing horns made these corvees realize that they seemed to be sacrifices.

Not far away, more than 100,000 Chu troops formed an array, and the Chu flags were fierce and swaying in the wind.

With shouts and cheers, they surrounded the huge Epang Palace. After a long time, Xiang Yu, accompanied by the generals, came on a horse. On the horse, Xiang Yu put his right hand on his chest and shouted: "Though Chu has three households, it will be destroyed."

Qin Bichu!"

"Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die!"

"Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die!"

"..."

These people were shouting. This prophecy was the last words left by Xiang Yan when he died on the battlefield. It was also the scar that Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang could never erase. At that time, although they were young, they knew that

Chu State was defeated.

But now, Xiang Yu has relied on his strength to overthrow the crumbling Qin State. The oath he made back then has become a reality. Xiang Yu will take practical actions to prove that his grandfather Xiang Yan's words were right.

After three rounds of rumbling drums, the Chu army began to light the torches. At this time, Ji Bu rode his horse to Xiang Yu's side. He cupped his hands on the horse and said: "General, Qing Zhuang was indeed recruited by Liu Bang! The rest,

Many are old, weak, sick and disabled!”

Xiang Yu nodded and didn't say anything else. Liu Bang had become a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. Just because he promised to let him live at the Hongmen Banquet that day, he shouldn't react suddenly at this time, so he had to bear it for the time being.

But the vast Afang Palace must be destroyed by itself.

The war drums rumbled again. Xiang Yu waved his right hand on his horse, shouting and shouting the Chu soldiers who were carrying the bumped wood, and rushed towards Afang Palace. Soon, the rumble of the impact sounded, echoing the war drums, and there was a kind of heart-shaking feeling.

feeling.

About a day passed, and as the sun went down, many parts of the Epang Palace were destroyed. The palace collapsed, and clouds of dust were thrown up. Soon, when the Epang Palace was completely destroyed, Xiang Yu gave the order: "Set fire!"

"The general has an order to set fire to it!"

"Woo"

The low-pitched trumpet sounded slowly, and the soldiers of the Chu army waved torches and rushed towards Afang Palace, throwing the torches to every corner. Along with the hay that had been piled up, the Afang Palace burst into flames.

The corvees who were gathered in Afang Palace // realized that death was coming. They ran for their lives, but were shot back to the main hall by the ruthless rain of arrows from the Chu army. In this way, nearly 150,000 corvees perished in the sea of ​​fire. At night, in the west of Xianyang City

The flames on his face were soaring into the sky, as bright as day. This was the fire in Epang Palace that was still burning.

This fire lasted for half a month.

…

The chaos in Guanzhong has only just begun, but a large number of refugees have already escaped from Hangu Pass, Wuguan Pass, etc., and wandered eastward.

In Pengcheng, in the side hall of the Chu Palace, Mi Xin and Chen Ying were sitting opposite each other. They each had a cup of tea in front of them, but at this time, neither of them was in the mood to taste the tea. They only lowered their heads and pondered something.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Mi Xin finally woke up from her deep thoughts. He sighed softly, picked up the tea cup, took a slow sip, and then asked, "How is the current situation?"

"It's difficult for a dragon to enter the abyss and for a bird to ascend to the sky... it's difficult..." Chen Ying sighed.

"Why do you say that?" Although Mi Xin knew it very well, he still couldn't help asking. Chen Ying did not shy away and replied bluntly: "Allied forces from various countries have risen individually, and there are Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, Liu Bang and others.

People are rushing into Guanzhong one after another, the situation is difficult to control, and the royal power has been eclipsed. Does the king think that everything can be restored? "

"Alas..." Mi Xin sighed, put down the tea cup in her hand, stood up, walked two steps in the palace, and sighed: "If Qin is not dead, Chu is in danger. Qin is dead, and Chu is also dead! How difficult is it to be a human being?"

"Your Majesty, the current situation is that you must follow Xiang Yu and don't be hostile to him, otherwise..." Chen Ying shook his head and sighed, but Mi Xin was slightly unhappy and said hatefully: "I swear to kill Xiang Yu!"

Just as Mi Xin finished speaking, a man from Bi hurriedly walked in, cupped his hands in front of Mi Xin and said, "Your Majesty, Xiang Yu's general Xiao Gongjiao is asking for an audience outside the palace."
