Although the battle in Suiyang did not last long, it started from the main force of the Young Marshal Army being forced to retreat to the Suiyang defense line until the main force of the Qin army voluntarily withdrew from the Chenliu area to the rest of the situation. It took less than a month for the first and last month to complete. It was short that even the Young Marshal Army did not even have the opportunity to implement the original tactical plan and used despicable means of harassment and cutting off the food channels to force the Qin army to retreat. However, the fierce battle, the intensity of the war, and the rapid change of the situation, was that no one of the two sides of the war had expected that it would not be prepared for military and spirituality, so it had to end in a draw.

The main force of the Qin army was miserable and exhausted this time. Zhang Han's capable deputy Dong Yi was defeated three times under the shameless trick of the Young Marshal's army. He suffered heavy losses every time, and he lost in a very embarrassing manner. Zhang Han was not better, and he led his army to fight three times, and was tied twice by the Young Marshal's army with the advantage of fortifications. He once suffered a crushing defeat. If it weren't for the Jedi counterattack at Xiangyi Ferry and reversed the situation again, the main force of the Qin army would have to suffer another crushing defeat. Even if there was no danger of being wiped out, he would have to have broken his arms and legs, and the casualties were even more severe.

However, even so, the main force of the Qin army was exhausted, and the veterans were exhausted, making it difficult to launch a large-scale decisive battle again. After many failures, the Qin army's military losses were quite considerable, with a total of nearly 50,000, which damaged its vitality. In addition, the shortage of food and grass and the long road of transporting grain gradually began to be exposed, so Zhang Han had no choice but to choose to withdraw the Chenliu area and rest and take food, and wait until the anti-Qin coalition forces settled the accounts and took revenge.

The same is true for the anti-Qin coalition. Xiang Liang's Chu army, Lu Chen, Ying Bu, Wei Bao and others' servants all suffered heavy losses in Xiangyi, and almost all of the weapons, weapons, food and supplies were lost, and additional supplies must be found. Although the Young Marshal's Army relied on the outstanding operation and command of Xiang Kang, Zhou Shu and "Feng Zhong" and others, they never suffered any major losses and were always taking advantage. However, after repeated battles, the Young Marshal's Army's soldiers were almost completely exhausted. Therefore, the Anti-Qin coalition had no choice. Even though they knew that the Qin army might make a comeback, they could only leave Suiyang quickly and withdraw the Young Marshal's current main city, Pengcheng, to rest.

On the way to withdraw, the Young Marshal Army, which had the most complete organization, still took on the heavy responsibility of the rear guard. Although the rear guard was not difficult this time, the Young Marshal Army's righteous acts for the overall situation still won the gratitude and respect of the friendly army to Xiang Kang and the young Marshal Army soldiers, and were extremely respectful to the Young Marshal Army. However, many people also knew very well that this might be the last time that the Young Marshal Army maintained independent organization and carried out military operations. As long as it was withdrawn from Pengcheng, the Young Marshal Army would be immediately incorporated by the Chu army, and it might even be completely disrupted and reorganized.

The decision-makers of the Young Marshal's Army were also well aware of this situation, but whether it was Zhou Zeng, Chen Ping, Li Shiqi, or Feng Zhong, Chao Zhi, Zheng Bu, Ding Ji and other military generals, they had no complaints, and they did not dare to persuade Xiang Kang to do anything to change this situation, because they all knew very well that in this era of great importance to etiquette, elders and seniority, Xiang Kang had a hundred courages and would never dare to leave Xiang Liang alone, continue to be independent and self-organized, so the Young Marshal's Army could only show that they were talking and laughing, but in fact they were nervous and led the army eastward, and marched on the flag of the Young Marshal for the last time.

Xiang Kang himself was even more afraid to say anything. First of all, filial piety was destined to be able to accept the incorporation of the Chu army. Secondly, after actually meeting Xiang Liang, Xiang Kang finally understood the huge gap between himself and the heroic second uncle in terms of prestige and influence. He was also the head coach of the first army. No matter how much Xiang Kang did, it would be difficult for other anti-Qin friendly troops to convince and take the initiative to accept the incorporation. At the same time, most of the old Chu nobles scattered among the people also had a wait-and-see attitude towards Xiang Kang, and there were definitely many people who refused to surrender as Xiang Kang.

However, Xiang Liang was completely different. On the way to retreat, Ying Bu and Lu Chen had already accepted the persuasion of Xiang Liang's subordinates, and agreed to accept Xiang Liang's incorporation after withdrawing Pengcheng, abandoning the Zhang Chu flag that had been held high before, and instead attacking the Chu flag. In addition, Zhang Chu's remnants army who had wandered to the southern part of Chen County, they also took the initiative to contact Xiang Liang and requested to rush to Pengcheng to accept Xiang Liang's incorporation. As for the old Chu Yigui who were scattered among the people, they rushed to Xiang Liang for recruitment. Even Jing Ju, a descendant of the Chu royal family, jumped out of the control of the Young Marshal's Army, ran to Xiang Liang to restore his identity, and requested to revive the Chu State with Xiang Liang.

"After all, I am the real successor of Wu Xinjun! I, a member of the Xiang family who has been separated by generation and blood, cannot catch up with my uncle's prestige and influence." After muttering in a depressed voice, Xiang Kang, who was somewhat jealous in his heart, could only leave this regret behind and honestly retreated to Pengcheng with his uncle to welcome his soon-to-change destiny.

In early April, the anti-Qin coalition successfully retreated to the city of Pengcheng. The young generals who stayed in Pengcheng went out to the city for ten miles to welcome Xiang Sheng, and welcomed Xiang Liang with the most solemn etiquette. Xiang Liang was noble in appearance and encouraged the newly-received young generals. The young generals who knew that the sky was about to change were also respectful to Xiang Liang. Wang Yong, who was not very good-character, was even more flattering to Xiang Liang. Before he was officially included in the Chu army, he had completely put Xiang Kang, the old master, aside, which made Chao Zhi, Zhu Jishi and other young generals very dissatisfied. Xiang Kang felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Xiang Liang was also very clear about Xiang Kang's situation. In order to appease Xiang Kang's competing nephew, after returning to Pengcheng, Xiang Liang kept letting Xiang Kang be the first in his left rank, and was still above Xiang Kang's overlord Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu, who valued family affection, had no complaints. Then when Xiang Kang saw Yu Miaoge, Xiang Yu, who didn't know that he had been wearing some kind of hat, was not only amazed at Yu Miaoge's beauty, but also had regular rules and regulations towards Yu Miaoge and did not develop any greed, which made Xiang Kang feel relieved.

Next, of course, is the real highlight. After officially taking over Pengcheng, Xiang Liang ordered a banquet at the Chu army camp and gathering everyone to have a banquet. Xiang Kang did not dare to neglect, so he quickly took the young generals who received the invitation to prepare for the camp banquet. Before leaving, Xiang Kang looked back at his tent with a reluctance, with a very melancholy expression. Chen Ping, who had already resigned from his official position in Wei, saw Xiang Kang's thoughts and asked in a low voice: "Young General, you plan to take this opportunity to present the seal to Xiang Zhuguo in public."

Xiang Kang nodded silently, and Chen Ping did not stop him, but said in a low voice: "Young Marshal, before you formally hand over the military power, can you give another order to withdraw 10,000 gold from the army and hand it over to the emperor? There is a very important thing in the future, and this money must be used."

Without asking Chen Ping what he wanted to do for the 10,000 yuan, Xiang Kang just immediately ordered Chen Ping to go to the military officer's office to withdraw 10,000 yuan. Chen Ping did not explain what he wanted to do with the money, but only bowed to Xiang Kang, expressing his gratitude to Xiang Kang for his unquestionable employment.

After Chen Ping came to the Chu army camp, Xiang Kang took the initiative to present his seal to Xiang Liang in front of countless civil and military soldiers, and handed over the military power to accept Xiang Liang's inclusion. Xiang Liang refused again and again, but Xiang Kang refused to take it back. Only then did Xiang Liang take the seal and officially take over the military power of Xiang Kang. Then, amid the cheers and praises of everyone, Xiang Liang patted Xiang Kang's back and whispered: "Kang'er, don't worry, uncle can't treat you badly."

No matter whether it is reasonable or reasonable, Yu Xin and Yu Yi, the second heroic uncle of the hero would never treat him badly. Xiang Kang is of course very clear about this, so even after the banquet, Xiang Kang was very relieved not to return to the Young Marshal's Military Camp and return to the city with peace of mind to enjoy the gentleness and sweetness of the Yu sisters. However, what Xiang Kang did not expect was that when he hugged the Yu sisters at the same time, Xiang Bo, who was extremely angry with his third uncle, also sneaked his heroic second uncle, and despite the repeated scolding of his heroic second uncle, he insisted on saying something very unfavorable to him...

The next morning, the Young Marshal Army and Ying Bu were officially incorporated. Xiang Liang of the two Lu Chen armies once again held a meeting in the Chu army camp to comprehensively adjust the personnel structure of the Chu army and re-arrange the commanders of each army. Then, as Xiang Kang expected, Xiang Liang really asked Ying Bu and Lu Chen to lead the original army and accept their direct command. On the side of the Young Marshal Army, because the Young Marshal Army was too large, Xiang Liang was indeed in great harmony and quickly split up the Young Marshal Army, which had twice the total strength of the Chu army. This is really not a fault. No matter who it was, it would be impossible to allow the direct army of his subordinates to be far greater than that of his own.

The young commander's army in Donghai County was divided into two by Xiang Liang and handed over to Xiang Sui and Chen Ying, and the young commander's army in Sishui was also divided into two armies, led by Xiang Sheng and Xiang Han, and the young commander's army in Dang County was handed over to the command of Cao Ju, the general of Chu, by Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang's actions were even greater for the main force of the young commander's army stationed in Pengcheng. Xiang Liang actually allocated Xiang Zhuang and Feng Zhong, both of them, and they formed their own troops, and both directly obeyed Xiang Liang's orders and commands. In addition, the two Xiang families, Xiang Yang and Xiang Ta, were also transferred out of the young commander's army by Xiang Liang, among which Xiang Yang was arranged to serve in Feng Zhong's army, and Xiang Ta served as the commander of the army in Chen Ying's army.

The Young Marshal's Army was split all at once, and Xiang Kang, who formed the Young Marshal's Army, couldn't help feeling very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Feng Zhong was quite loyal and immediately stood up and bowed and said, "Xiang Zhuguo, the last general has mediocre talents, but it is really useless. If he rashly takes up his important position, he will probably miss the major affairs of Chu. He also asked Xiang Zhuguo to take back his orders and let the last general continue to be under General Xiang Kang and assist him in serving Chu."

He looked at Feng Zhong with emotion. Xiang Kang did not dare to say anything, but Xiang Liang smiled slightly and said, "General Feng doesn't have to be so humble. When you were under Kang'er's tent, you had already been alone, and the battle was in charge of Kang'er's southern front war? Moreover, you not only had no defeat in command of the troops alone, but also fought beautifully with each battle. It has long proved that you can be a single army and stand alone, so why should you be so humble?"

"General Feng, my brother is polite you." Xiang Bo also said with a smile: "Brother appreciates you so much and gives you such a good opportunity to achieve success. Why do you have to be humble? Why don't you thank my brother for your promotion?"

Feng Zhong looked at Xiang Kang with great hesitation. Xiang Kang was crying, but he had to force a smile on his face and said, "Brother, congratulations, you deserve it. Don't be stunned, thank my uncle quickly."

Seeing Xiang Kang say this, Feng Zhong, who was indeed very loyal to Xiang Kang, had no choice but to thank Xiang Liang for his promotion. From then on, he left Xiang Kang and followed Xiang Liang's orders directly to Xiang Liang's orders. Xiang Kang's powerful help in the army was also slashed with someone.

He felt very guilty. After adopting the bad idea of ​​his brother, he cut off his nephew's powerful arm, Xiang Liang finally showed mercy. In addition to conferring Xiang Kang as the right general, he also handed over the remaining young commander army to Commander Xiang Kang. Despite the strong request of another beloved nephew Xiang Yu, he insisted that Xiang Guan leads the young commander cavalry to continue to be affiliated with Xiang Kang, and did not continue to weaken the strength of Xiang Kang's troops. At the same time, Xiang Liang also said: "My great Chu can be revived, Kang'er will definitely make great contributions and must be rewarded for his military achievements. In this way, Kang'er, uncle will also give you a title and give you the title of Lanling Jun. When major events are successful in the future, Lanling will be your fief."

"My uncle loves wrongly, and my nephew is ashamed of being too proud." Xiang Kang quickly said modestly, "In our army, you are the only uncle who has the title alone. What kind of virtue is the best for me? How dare you share the title with my uncle? I also asked my uncle to take back his life and be able to be named the right general. My nephew is already satisfied."

"You have made great contributions to the country, which is what you deserve." Xiang Liang shook his head and said, "You don't have to be humble, just settle it. From now on, you will be Lanlingjun of our Chu State."

Xiang Kang pushed him again, but Xiang Liang insisted not to allow him. Xiang Kang had no choice but to accept his first title after coming to this era - Lanlingjun. Fortunately, the title is pretty good, at least it is easy to hear.

After being named Lanling Jun, everyone of course congratulated Xiang Kang, and Xiang Kang thanked him with a smile. However, at this moment, Old Man Fan suddenly stood up and bowed to Xiang Liang and said, "Shangzhu Kingdom, I have some things I have wanted to say long ago. Although the Right General worked hard and made great contributions in the revival of Chu State, it is natural to be granted by the King of Chu, and this title was not given by the King of Chu, and it is inevitable that people would feel that it would be unsatisfactory if they were not justified. I am foolish in my opinion, we should follow the example of Wei Qi and other countries, choose the virtuous from the descendants of the King of Chu to support it, and rebuild the Chu State's palace. Only in this way can our army and the Chu region unite closely under the King of Chu, fight against the violent Qin, and rebuild the Chu State. In addition, we can also make the merits and rewards legitimate, and can inspire our soldiers to fight the enemy and defeat the violent Qin."

"It's really here."

Xiang Kang glanced at Old Man Fan, but did not say anything. Xiang Bo rarely spit out an ivory from his mouth and said, "The King of Chu still needs to find someone to support me? My brother is the legitimate son of Xiang Yan, a famous general of the old Chu, and has made great contributions to the State of Chu. He re-established the King of Chu. If my brother does not become the King of Chu, who will become the King of Chu?"

Xiang Bo made this head, and some Chu army civil and military officials who really support Xiang Liang and want political speculation agreed, saying that Xiang Liang should make himself king. However, Old Man Fan raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Master Xiang, and everyone, do you want Xiang Zhuguo to repeat the mistakes of King Zhang Chu Chen Sheng?"

After angrily shouting, Old Man Fan said with confidence: "Have you heard of it? After King Chen Sheng of Zhang, the famous scholar of the Central Plains, Zhang Er, Chen Yu advised him not to be king, and to find descendants of the royal family of the six kings to support him, so as to establish his gangs, form allies, and weak enemies and strong themselves! But Chen Sheng refused to listen and insisted on establishing himself as King of Chu, which led to the separation of the people in Chu, and his subordinates followed suit. First, the military ministers proclaimed himself as King of Zhao, and then Han Guang proclaimed himself as King of Yan. Then Qi of Wei and the State of Wei turned against him and betrayed his relatives, which was vulnerable to the tyrannical Qin army! Although Xiang Zhu Kingdom was the legitimate son of Xiang Yan, the former famous general of Chu, he was not a descendant of the royal family of Chu. If he proclaimed himself as King of Chu, wouldn't it be the same as Chen Sheng who was usurped and called king?"

Xiang Bo and others were speechless, and Old Man Fan turned to Xiang Liang and bowed and said, "Xiang Zhuguo, although the throne is attractive, if the qualifications are not enough, it will not only make people laugh at the world, but will also lead to dissolution and cause disaster for themselves. Zhuguo, your family has only been generals in Chu for generations and proclaimed as kings, and the people of Chu will definitely not accept it. But if Zhuguo is selfless and seeks descendants of the King of Chu and chooses talents, then everyone will be happy in the hearts of Chu, and everyone will yearn for the old Chu people. With the support of the people and the support of the people, why worry about the tyrannical Qin Dynasty and the unrestrained Chu Kingdom?"

Even in the late Han Dynasty, Old Man Fan said such words, would definitely be considered a pedantic scholar's opinion, but there was no way. Now it is the end of Qin Dynasty, and the six countries that adopted the aristocratic elite system have only been destroyed for more than ten years. The concept of noble bloodlines is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Xiang family, which is scammers all day long, attaches great importance to this issue. So, like in history, after hesitating for a long time, Xiang Liang, who felt that his bloodline was not noble enough, made up his mind and nodded and said, "This idea of ​​Fan Gong is in line with my heart. Yes, if you want to win the hearts of the people in Chu, only by supporting the descendants of the King of Chu to rebuild orthodoxy is the best strategy."

"Brother." Xiang Bo was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Our Xiang family has already built such a vast land. How can we still let others take our territory?"

"Stop talking! Don't talk nonsense!" Xiang Liang scolded and said, "What are our Xiang family members? They are soldiers of Chu! Have you forgotten that our Xiang family has been loyal to Chu for generations, and has been ministers of Chu for generations, and our Xiang family members are soldiers of Chu. The land we have captured is of course the country of Chu!"

Xiang Bo, who was actually thinking about himself, gritted his teeth again and said, "It's settled, find the descendants of the King of Chu as soon as possible, support the king, and rebuild the country of Chu!"

Seeing that Xiang Liang had made up his mind, Song Yi, the general of Chu who was once the prime minister of Chu, stood up and bowed and said, "Since the general is determined to support the King of Chu, there is no need to bother to find it. Could it be that the general has forgotten that Jing Ju, the descendant of the King of Chu, is currently in our army?"

"Jing Ju?"

It was still Song Yi reminded that Xiang Liang suddenly remembered that there was indeed a Jing Ju in his army with the royal blood of the Chu Kingdom, who could legally and reasonably support him as the King of Chu. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiang Kang hurriedly stepped out and said, "The matter of supporting the King of Chu Kingdom is extremely important, and you cannot make a rash decision. In the last regard, it is best to discuss this matter carefully and then make a decision."

After saying that, Xiang Kang even coughed on purpose. Xiang Liang knew that his nephew must have something to say, so he nodded and agreed to Xiang Kang's proposal. After discussing some other military-related affairs, Xiang Liang announced that the account would be disbanded and everyone would go down to rest.

According to Xiang Liang's instructions, everyone said goodbye and left one after another. Xiang Kang deliberately delayed until the end before leaving. Then, after no outsiders were present, Xiang Kang asked for Xiang Liang's permission and stepped forward to Xiang Liang's ear and said, "Uncle, if you are determined to embrace the King of Chu, your nephew will not object. But in the opinion of your nephew, you must not support Jing Ju."

"Why?" Xiang Liang asked in a low voice.

"Jing Ju is old and has his own opinions." Xiang Kang replied in a simple manner and whispered: "He was promoted to the Queen of Chu. If he disagrees with your uncle and refuses to listen to your good advice, wouldn't it make you embarrassed?"

Xiang Liang suddenly realized, and then, Xiang Liang, who was already very guilty of Xiang Kang, couldn't help feeling even more guilty. He held Xiang Kang's hand and said, "Kang'er, I feel wronged. I didn't expect that my uncle treats you like this, and you still think about me so much."

"Uncle, no need to say it." Xiang Kang said sincerely: "If I were in your position, I would definitely do this."
