Although Xiang Bo, who hates dogs, often causes trouble for Feng Zhong, because Xiang You is the only Xiang family's son among the young commander's army's southern corps, Feng Zhong never deliberately attacks or retaliates against Xiang You, the son of Xiang You, and never gives Xiang You and his army few years. He remembers the merits he should remember. When attacking Guangling City head-on, he did not deliberately force Xiang You's troops to be cannon fodder, attacking Tangyi Xiang You's troops first to climb the city. Feng Zhong rewarded his merits and immediately restored Xiang You's position as the commander. He could definitely be said to have a clear conscience towards Xiang You.

This was even more so in Zhongli's battle. After exploring Qin Jia's troops abandoned the city and fled, in order to give Xiang You a chance to make meritorious efforts, and to make Xiang You feel the great humiliation that the Qin Jia army had broken through the camp, Feng Zhong had other choices, and arranged for Xiang You to lead the army first and serve as the vanguard of Qin Jia's defeated troops. However, what Feng Zhong did not expect was that in the face of his kindness, Xiang Bo actually had the face to complain behind his back, saying that Feng Zhong intended to bully his son, and asked his son to go head-on with the Qin Jia army's rear army first, and let other generals from the Young General's Army take the opportunity to pick up the cheaper ones.

Fortunately, Xiang Bo's petty innocence did not affect the morale and fighting spirit of Xiang You's troops. After catching up with Qin Jia's army, Xiang You, who was eager to take revenge, took the lead and led the young commander's soldiers to chop and chop. Without the help of the main force, he defeated the Qin Jia's army's rear team and successfully caught up with the Qin Jia's army team carrying a large number of food and grass. Then, with the assistance of the rear army, he successfully killed the Qin Jia's army team, which was still fighting with the help of the rear army, seized countless military supplies, and successfully captured many Qin Jia's captives. While completing the pursuit mission, he finally washed away the shame that even the camp was broken by Qin Jia.

At the end of the pursuit, it was already dawn. At the same time, Xiang You's troops and other young commanders pursued nearly thirty miles, with people and horses being exhausted from top to bottom. However, because they won the battle again, the morale of the army was still high. After a while, after ate some dry food, Xiang You's troops and other young commanders quickly took the prisoners captured on the battlefield and returned triumphantly with the captured military supplies. While carefully cleaning the battlefield along the way, they retreated directly to Zhongli City.

When he withdrew his troops and returned to Zhongli City, Zhongli City had already been taken over by the rear army of the Young Commander Army. Unfortunately, the young commander army clerk who came to greet him told Xiang You and other young commander generals, and said: "Dear generals, I'm really sorry. General Feng has an order to tell you not to enter the city. After handing over the spoils and prisoners, he will set up a camp outside the city. We will soon enter Quyang and will not station it in the city."

After saying that, the civil servant smiled and said, "And there is no fun going in. Zhongli City was ruined by Qin Jia's dog thief this time. All the women in the female neighborhood were ruined by his thieves. The wine in the city was also completely drunk by his thieves. If you want to have a drink of two glasses, you might as well be in our own camp."

The young generals smiled after hearing this, and Xiang You also smiled and said, "Okay, follow General Feng's arrangement, hurry up and take us to offer prisoners. The soldiers are tired enough, and wait for a rest."

The civil servant agreed and quickly led Xiang You and others to escort the prisoners to the newly built prisoner camp. However, the first thing that was counted was not the prisoners captured by Xiang You's army. Xiang You was bored and inspected casually in his army to check the situation of the prisoners and baggage escorts by his own army. Then, coincidentally, when Xiang You looked around casually, he accidentally found a wounded prisoner not far away, and when he looked at the appearance of the prisoner carefully, the prisoner quickly turned his head away, and at the same time he dragged his injured legs and squeezed into the crowd of prisoners with his wounded legs, as if he was deliberately avoiding Xiang You.

"Who is this person? Why do you seem to have seen him there? Strange thing, how could I have seen someone in Qin Jiagou thief's army?"

Confused in his heart, Xiang You rode a horse and trotted a few steps, ran to the prisoner's position, pointed at the prisoner with a horse whip, and shouted: "You, come out."

The prisoner pretended to be stupid and did not dare to do anything, but Xiang You's personal soldiers were not polite and stepped forward and pulled him out. The prisoner struggled in fear and did not dare to look up at Xiang You. Xiang You felt strange in his heart, so he simply used a horse whip to hold the prisoner's chin and forced him to raise his head. However, after carefully seeing the prisoner's appearance, Xiang You's face suddenly turned pale because not only Xiang You knew this prisoner, but Feng Zhong, Xiang Kang and other Xiang family children also knew each other! He was not someone else, but the former Lingxian Youwei who had fought with the Xiang family children to death - Shan Chang!

"Xiang..., General Xiang..."

Shan Youwei also knew that Xiang You had recognized him, so he had no choice but to plead with trembling: "General Xiang is kind to you, please spare the villain's life."

Shan Youwei's pleading was exchanged for Xiang You's subconscious hand holding the hilt of the sword. He knew that Xiang You wanted to kill someone to silence the silence and prevent others from knowing that Xiang You had betrayed the shameless behavior of the Xiang family's children to him. Shan Youwei quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "God, please spare me, please spare me, please spare me, the little one didn't hear it clearly just now, thinking you were calling someone out and didn't come to kowtow to you immediately. The little one deserves damn, the little one deserves 100% offense! Please spare me! Please spare me!"

Shan Youwei's actions attracted the attention of countless others. Xiang Youze quickly thought about it, and quickly made up his mind and ordered the personal soldiers next to him: "Take him over, I will personally interrogate the prisoner."

After saying that, Xiang You turned his horse's head and rode his horse to the distance to dismount. The personal soldiers behind him also brought Dan Youwei, who was injured in his leg, over. As soon as he let go, Dan Youwei immediately knelt down again and said tremblingly: "General, don't worry, young man has never said anything, he has never said anything to anyone, and he will definitely not say anything in the future."

"When did you join Qin Jia Dog Thief's Army?" Xiang You asked with a gloomy face.

"When Qin Jia's dog thief first started his army, the young man went to join him." Shan Youwei's answer surprised Xiang You, and then Shan Youwei said tremblingly: "Later, the young man followed Qin Jia's dog thief and fought side by side with you for a while, so you can believe it, if the villain is not strict, isn't Qin Jia's dog thief..., isn't it..."

Shan Youwei didn't dare to finish his words, but Xiang You also understood what he meant and knew that he had not told Qin Jia and others about his ugly behavior. Otherwise, Qin Jia would have taken it out and promoted it a lot, completely ruining his reputation. However, this did not make Xiang You grateful. Xiang You called Shan You over to find an excuse to kill him. Xiang You's face was silent, but his arm was already moving slightly, and he was about to draw his sword and kill Shan Youwei directly, and then he found an excuse to explain to everyone.

"Yuer, what are you doing here?"

The sudden voice from Xiang Bo saved Shan Youwei's life. When Xiang You quickly turned around, he saw his father Xiang Bo and Zhang Liang leading a few followers and strode towards him. Xiang You had no choice but to let Shan Youwei temporarily let go and bow to Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo was very surprised and pointed at Shan Youwei who was kneeling next to Xiang You and asked, "What is this prisoner doing? Why did you bring him here for a separate question?"

Xiang You hesitated and didn't know how to answer for a while. Shan Youwei was very clever and kowtowed to Xiang Bo and said, "The old general, the major general, he had a sharp eye. He found that the villain seemed to be a small pawn dressed as a thief of Qin Jia's dog thief, so he took the villain over to interrogate him alone. The villain dared not not tell the truth. In fact, the villain was the two or five hundred chiefs under the Qin Jia's dog thief. Last night, in order to escape, he found a soldier's clothes to change it."

"It's not bad. With this vision, you can see that this dog thief was a thief. "Xiang Bo was very pleased when he heard this, and asked Xiang You again: "How many prisoners have been captured? How many other gains have you gained?"

"Reported to my father, he captured 512 prisoners, and the seized money and food had not yet been counted, but there must be a lot of them." Xiang You answered truthfully.

"Okay!" Xiang Bo was overjoyed again, and said with gritted teeth: "This time, let's see how Feng Zhong's son gave you a reward. If he deliberately suppresses you, he will never be able to forgive him if he doesn't give you a promotion to the lieutenant!"

Xiang You did not dare to agree, but Xiang Bo shouted to Shan Youwei who was kneeling on the ground: "Why don't you get back? When you enter the prisoner-of-war camp to report your identity, you dare to use tricks to conceal your position. Be careful of your head!"

Shan Youwei, who escaped from death, was overjoyed and kowtowed to Xiang Bo and thanked him repeatedly. He couldn't wait to struggle and limped back to the team with a broken spear picked up on the road. Although Xiang You felt regretful, when he suddenly saw Zhang Liang standing next to Xiang Bo, Xiang You felt moved and said in his heart: "Isn't this already complete? Shan Youwei has Han Li, the family member of Uncle Han, is now with Uncle Han, and if they stand up to prove it, will the ugly thing Xiang Kang did be revealed to the world?"

This idea came up, and Xiang You suddenly gave up the idea of ​​killing Shan Youwei to silence people. Because Xiang Kang had previously fabricated Xiang You's lies to bow his knee to Shan Youwei because he was arranged by himself, so even if Shan Youwei was not strict and said something was missed, Xiang You could also use the excuse of Xiang Kang's arrangement to make excuses, and leaving Shan Youwei behind may also be useful at critical moments...

Xiang You has never forgotten the girl Yu Gui who made her dream of her. In addition to her heartfelt jealousy, Xiang You actually has no lack of hatred for Xiang Kang.

…………

On Xiang Kang's side, when Feng Zhong led the South Line Army of the Young Marshal's Army to the Jiujiang River, Xiang Kang also adopted the suggestion of Old Man Fan and held a large-scale sacrifice outside Pengcheng to commemorate Xiang Yan, the previous head of the old Xiang family, to let everyone in the world know that the Young Marshal's Army is the bloodline of the orthodox army of Chu, and to establish the banner of being the descendants of Xiang Yan. It is notorious. After the news spread, many Chu survivors who were nostalgic in the country really came to Pengcheng to join the Young Marshal's Army, bringing Xiang Kang many civilian officials who were currently in urgent need. At the same time, several surrounding forces also sent envoys to Pengcheng to worship the temple built by Xiang Kang for Xiang Yan, and took the opportunity to get along with Xiang Kang to form a covenant to join forces with the Young Marshal's Army to fight against Qin.

Of course, Liu Laosan, who was already bound by most of the Young Marshal's army, was indispensable. In order to free up his hands and go north to expand his territory, Liu Laosan, one of the best political skills in this era, sent his second brother Liu Zhong as an envoy to bring three sacrifices to worship Xiang Yan Temple on behalf of himself, and then naturally proposed to form an alliance with the Young Marshal's army and join forces to fight against Qin without invasion. In order to fight against Qin, Xiang Kang accepted Liu Laosan's request without hesitation and generously gave Liu Laosan a peace of mind.

Xiang Kang was very surprised. After Liu Zhong left, Liu Laosan's subordinate, Yong Chi, the Fengyi Guardian, actually sent his younger brother Yong Gong as an envoy to worship Xiang Yan Temple on behalf of Yong Chi. So when Yong Gong came to the gate of the temple in Pengcheng County to ask for a meeting, Xiang Kang couldn't help scratching his head and said in a strange way: "Didn't Liu Laosan's second brother just worship my grown-up father? Why did Yong Chi send someone again? Don't he know that Liu Laosan has sent someone to worship my grown-up father?"

"I'm afraid it's not just that I don't know it." Zhou Zeng's military was not good, but his political struggle was very good. He said, "Whether Yong Chi knew or not, as a general of Liu Ji, he bypassed Liu Ji and went directly to worship the young marshal, your grown-up father, under his own banner, which is enough to show that he doesn't take Liu Ji seriously at all and has a second thought for Liu Ji."

A word awakened the dreamer, and Zhou Zeng reminded that Xiang Kang, who had not yet become extremely fragile, immediately remembered that in history, there were two important traitors under Liu Laosan's command. The first was Cao Wushang, who almost lost his head, and the second was Yong Chi, who had betrayed Liu Laosan with his city, territory and army. Although Yong Chi betrayed Liu Laosan and surrendered to whom after betraying Liu Laosan, Xiang Kang could no longer remember, but since this kind of cracked egg came to his door, Xiang Kang was extremely alert to Liu Laosan's big fly, of course, did not hesitate. He immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll welcome Yong Chi's envoy in person."

Xiang Kang's personal outing to greet him certainly made Yong Chi's younger brother Yong Gong flattered. After walking the mourning scene of worshiping Xiang Yan Temple, when he sat down face to face with Xiang Kang to drink together, Yong Gong carefully tested Xiang Kang's true attitude towards Liu Laosan. At the same time, he took out the handwritten letter written by Yong Chi to Xiang Kang and presented it. Xiang Kang took it and saw that Yong Chi highly praised him, the descendants of Xiang Yan, and clearly revealed the contempt of Liu Laosan, a hooligan, and Xiang Kang felt confident. He knew that Yong Chi had already had the intention to look for him. If he attacked Liu Laosan, Yong Chi would probably surrender to him in history and stab Liu Laosan hard in the back!

When Xiang Kang read the letter carefully, Yong Gong was of course secretly observing Xiang Kang's expression, but unfortunately, Xiang Kang's best-in-law was to conceal his expression and react. Yong Gong, who had an ordinary talent, could not see what Xiang Kang was thinking. However, it was okay for Yong Gong. After carefully reading the letter, Xiang Kang not only handed the letter to Zhou Zengyue to read, but also said to Yong Gong with a kind look: "Mr. Yong, I already understand what Brother Ling means, but it is not the time."

"Isn't the time?" Yong Gong heard Xiang Kang's implicit voice and asked hurriedly: "Young Marshal, do you think it's not the time yet?"

Xiang Kang nodded calmly and said in a cloud of mist, "Although Liu Ji refused to surrender to our army, he was also an anti-Qin army. No matter what I do to him at this time, I will only be scolded by the people of the world. I also agree with Brother Ling's evaluation of Liu Ji, but please don't be impatient and make a decision in a hurry, and wait until you have the opportunity in the future."

Yong Gong nodded repeatedly, and understood Xiang Kang's implicit meaning very clearly. Xiang Kang said again: "I will ask the hero to report back to my brother. I will be grateful for his kindness to me. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely give it back twice. But now, I have to ask him to be patient for a while. When the time is ripe, I will contact him and ask him to help me. At that time, the young marshal will welcome him again to repay his sincere feelings."

Yong Gong nodded again and quickly expressed that he would bring Xiang Kang's original words to Yong Chi. Xiang Kang asked someone to bring gold pearls and jade and give them to Yong Chi and Yong Gong's brothers. Yong Gong was overjoyed and thanked him. Xiang Kang helped him up with him and patted Yong Gong's hand and said, "Be calm and don't be anxious. If there is anything in Fengyi, just speak to me. If you can help, I will definitely help you to the end."

Yong Gong agreed repeatedly, thanked him repeatedly, and then said goodbye and left. As a result, after Yong Gong left, Zhou Zeng next to him, of course, immediately asked: "Young Marshal, do you want to play a long line to catch big fish?"

"Of course we have to use a long line to catch big fish." Xiang Kang replied: "Liu Ji's ambitions and a shrewd person will sooner or later become a threat to us. In order to fight against Qin, we cannot attack him, but we must not prepare in advance. If we plant the root of Yongchi, the disaster for him, and it may be effective."

"Yes." Zhou Zeng nodded and said, "Although Yongchi was in his letters and in his words, the enemy of the tyrannical Qin was in front of us. If we attack other anti-Qin rebels for Fengyi for a small city, we will definitely ruin our reputation. Instead of getting more than worth the loss, it is better to use a long line to catch big fish and wait for the return to the future."

Xiang Kang was silent and was thinking about how to use Yongchi, a famous traitor, but Xiang Yang, who was in charge of the information, suddenly came to the front and said as soon as he met: "Brother, I just received the news that the tyrannical general Zhang Han went out of Hangu Pass and defeated Zhang Chu's commander of the Western Expedition in Caoyang. Zhou Zhang (also known as Zhou Wen), Zhou Zhang retreated again. Zhang Han advanced to pursue him and was about to walk out of the shui Han."

"Is the message accurate?" Xiang Kang asked.

"It is impossible to confirm that it is the news we heard from passing merchants at Gushui Wharf." Xiang Yang answered truthfully.

"There is no wind, no waves." Xiang Kang said with a gloomy face: "People's news is slowly spreading, I'm afraid that Zhou Tong has been wiped out by this time."

As Xiang Kang expected, in fact, the army of Zhang Chu, who had retreated to Mianchi, had suffered a third defeat for the third time. The hundreds of thousands of troops that once entered Guanzhong completely collapsed and Zhou Zhang committed suicide. At the same time, after receiving this news, the Zhang Chu army, who was besieging Xingyang, actually had an internal strife. Zhang Chu general Tian Zang launched a mutiny and brutally killed Chen Sheng's loyal ally Wu Guang, and took control of the army with his own military power. After hearing the news, Chen Sheng not only dared not pursue it, but instead enthroned Tian Zang as the commander and general of Zhang Chu State. At this point, the road for Zhang Han's army to enter the Central Plains was actually a smooth road.
