Chapter 1550: Zhaoyang

The quarrel between the ministers of the civil and military ranks gradually decreased. The former said that the official had reasons and the mother said that the mother was right, but with Fan Zeng's sharp questioning, most of the generals were speechless and could only focus their eyes on Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu looked as if nothing had happened, and kept playing with and wiping the sword of the overlord in his hand. This was the sword of Chu. Since the fall of Chu, Xiang State has become the last hometown of the remnants of the Great Chu people. Xiang State was also a vassal state personally enfeoffed by the King of Chu. Xiang Yu also absorbed a large number of Chu nobles and slaves affiliated with them. In recent years, the people continued to escape from Liu Bang's rule, rushed towards Xiang State, and moved their families, which led to the increasing population of Xiang State. This also gave Xiang Yu the intention of a broad army. The original Xiang State had only 250,000 troops, which was similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's national strength. However, since Zhu Yuanzhang ceded the city to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu's food and grass have been alleviated.

However, a few years ago, Long Qi went south and returned with great defeat. Long Qi, the leader of the five tiger generals under Xiang Yu, died at the hands of Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu. The 100,000 soldiers were wiped out. Even if he survived, he became Liu Bang's slave, helping him build the city wall and build a palace.

This also made Xiang's country's troops only maintain at 250,000, and there were still 100,000 new recruits, and their combat power was not very strong, and some of them had not seen blood or shine.

When Xiang Yu heard that everyone was not arguing, he immediately looked at everyone, and said with a voice like Zhong Lei: "Father Ya! I can't understand it when I ask you, please help Yafu to solve your doubts!"

"Please speak for yourself, your words!" Fan Zeng was very respectful to Xiang Yu, and he was not as rebellious as before. Fan Zeng was loyal to his Xiang family, but he was also well versed in the way of protecting himself, so he naturally would not do anything to comfort Xiang Yu's face.

"How about Han Yi!" Xiang Yu squinted his eyes, his double pupils looked like an elite tiger. If his eyes could kill people, Fan Zeng's chest had been pierced by Xiang Yu.

"Han Yi has always been ambitious. When he sees him annihilated the eight countries and checking and balancing Yan and Zhao, he knows that this person has the ambition to annex the world!" Fan Zeng said with a serious expression.

"Such an ambitious person? Being alone under him is a slump? Yafu thinks, if you are Han Yi, how should you deal with yourself!" Xiang Yu seemed to have a rare glance at Zhi? It is undeniable that although Xiang Yu was a little arrogant and acted in a human being? His extraordinary talent on the battlefield gave Xiang Yu a keen sense of smell. This is also an important willingness to win every battle.

"This..." Fan Zeng was speechless when Xiang Yu asked.

Xiang Yu said calmly, "All the generals obey orders!"

Xiang Yu said something? Many generals were energetic? But Fan Zeng felt exhausted? Xiang's geographical location was so helpless. Like Ju, he could only become the guardian of Wu. But if Han Yi did not rebel, how could he compete for the Central Plains? When Han Yi's troops were strong, Xiang's fate would eventually be unable to escape and perish. Now it is just a great destruction and establishment.

"Li Cunxu, Shan Xiongxin, Shan Xiongzhong, Shan Yangui, Shan Tianchang, Shan Xing, you are leading 50,000 troops? Guard Dengcheng? Do not fight? Strictly prevent Wu Qi from going south. As long as you stop Wu Qi, you will make great contributions!" Xiang Yu looked solemn and took out a piece of the king's order and handed it to Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu looked at Xiang Yu with his firm double pupils and said with a firm expression: "I will do my best! Even if I am broken into pieces, I will definitely not let Wu Qi go south to Dengcheng half a step!"

Xiang Yu smiled with satisfaction? Then he looked at the people below. At present, except for Xue Ju, there were only four people left, Yu Ziqi, Zhonglimei, Jing Si, and Heng Chu, but the ability of the four people was self-evident. Xiang Yu stroked his beard, and now the one who replaced Han Xin to defend the north was Zhuge Liang, who was in name only. The only record he could achieve was to support Shu Kingdom, but he was also defeated.

Seeing that Xiang Yu was still just using his confidant as before, Fan Zeng immediately picked up the jade pendant in his hand and signaled Xiang Yu not to act like this and to learn to check and balance.

This made Xiang Yu brow locked and he felt very unhappy, but now there was no one under his command. Finally, he made up his mind and focused on the ministers who had left Chu. One of them was still very much in Xiang Yu's appetite, but it was useful.

"Zhaoyang!" Xiang Yu said with a plain face.

Zhaoyang, who was thirty years old, should have shown great talent, but the Chu State was destroyed, which also made Zhaoyang's precious pearls covered with dust. Now Zhaoyang is wearing light armor, because Zhaoyang is a general and a general of the previous Chu, so he is very cautious about Xiang Yu, the general of the previous Chu, because they are under the banner of restoring Chu every day, which makes Xiang Yu feel very upset.

Zhaoyang's local military general was the commander of Chu and was the governor of Chu. In the sixth year of King Wei of Chu, Zhaoyang led his troops to attack Yue, killed the king of Yue Wujie, and merged the Xinghua area into Chu. Subsequently, Zhaoyang led his troops to attack Wei and obtained the eight counties of Xiangling, which were known in history as the "Battle of Xiangling of Chu and Wei" and shocked the six kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Qin, and Han. It can be seen that Zhaoyang was also a general.

Throughout history, when people talk about Chu State’s state’s first thoughts were Qu Yuan or Xiang Yan, but they simply ignored this famous general of Chu State.

"Here!" Zhao Yang looked calm and strode forward. He had a little more majestic momentum. Just looking at this power, it was not simple.

"I will give you 50,000 troops to Hengchu, Yang Youji, Xiang Qu, Xiang Xiang, Xiang Ying, Fang Tianding, and six people to defend Juyang and prevent Zhuge Liang from going south!" Xiang Yu still distrusts Zhaoyang. While sending Zhaoyang to lead the troops, he also asked his confidants to check and balance Zhaoyang. Once he had any abnormal movement, it would be impossible to destroy him with his backhand.

Zhaoyang's brows were secretly locked and looked at Xiang Yu's stubborn face. Zhaoyang felt unhappy. However, as the only Chu general in charge of the army, Zhaoyang must endure it. Faced with Xiang Yu's oppression, Zhaoyang knew that he could not help himself, so he immediately bowed and said, "I must do my best!"

After hearing this, Xiang Yu nodded. The boy knew what he knew. He looked at the many generals and immediately said, "Order 100,000 troops and headed south immediately. All the generals in the army will participate in this battle. All the major events in Pengcheng will be handed over to Yafu!"

"Let's obey!" Many generals began to rub their clutches, as if they had been waiting for this war for a long time.
