Chapter 164 Overlord Xiang Yu
The construction of Chang'an City immersed Li Yuan in the excitement of creating history. As contact with Xin Zhui increased, Li Yuan also began to re-recognize this proud girl.
Xin Zhi was smart and cunning. She had the coquettishness of a girl and was quite dedicated. In order to calculate a set of data, she even took her maid and servants to the Wei River to measure the speed of the water flow. This is unimaginable in her daughter's house. Xin Zhui had this idea, which was mostly because she inherited Xin Sheng's temperament.
On both sides of the streets of Xincheng, a series of stupid locust trees were transplanted. These tall trees with deep light roots were spread all over the front yards of their homes in northern China. Their flowers, fruits and skins can be used as medicine.
Regarding the green tree species in Chang'an City, Li Yuan has also considered other tree species, such as pine trees, ginkgo trees, sycamore trees, etc., but in the end he chose the most common locust tree.
The things passed down by our ancestors are all good things. In the "Spring and Autumn Rites" there was a description of the locust tree: "Many people plant it in front of the courtyard, and one takes its shade, and the other takes three locust trees, hoping for the three descendants to have their wishes." The locust tree also has the meaning of hope, and the saying of hoping for the safe return of relatives is also consistent with the name of the city of Chang'an.
The days passed by the construction of Chang'an City day by day. From April to May, Li Yuan spent his 24th birthday in a fulfilling and busy life.
This birthday is Li Yuan's first birthday since time traveling, and it is also the first birthday that Li Yuan has celebrated since his birth.
The three women in Wangyi Palace discussed for a long time and invited Xin Zhui to the palace. However, in front of Xin Xiaoniang, Ying Yushu and the other two were unable to gain a single advantage.
Ying Yushu's attitude is very clear. She is already very satisfied with the current situation. She does not seek any reputation. As long as she can maintain a secret relationship with Li Yuan, Gu Yunniang is willing to grab it, but after suffering a loss, she has no confidence in her position in Li Yuan's mind. This offensive task. She just watched coldly, and was neither close nor rejected by Xin Zhui. The last one left Ying Yuman, who was not just right and had no experience of sharing the joys and sorrows. Facing Xin Zhui with sharp teeth, she only went to battle for a few rounds, and was speechless by the little girl.
This interview made Xin Zhui Xiaoniang very angry.
Originally, she just had a little affection for uncle Li Yuan, and had a little bit of a girl's admiration for heroes. When Ying Yuman said it openly and secretly, the little lady was immediately annoyed and said, "I just like uncles." Then, she bulged her cheeks and left the palace.
Do you like it or don't like it.
Xin Zhui actually didn't figure it out.
"This scoundrel, slap, uncle, and harming people!" Running to the trench beside Chang'an City, Xin Zhui stepped on a pile of newly dug out mud.
In the distance, under the surveillance of Qin army soldiers, a group of Han army prisoners were rushing their upper bodies, shouting low horns, and digging piles of yellow mud out of the ground. Then they neatly discharged the feldstone strips chiseled by the stonemason--.
Compared with the grand scene of construction, what is the little bit of the thought of a child? Xin Zhui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and raised his chest. He proudly laughed at the group of coolie prisoners, but she didn't know that how many prisoners would always worry about it at this moment.
——.
In the second year of the Xinli period of Qin Dynasty, May.
The situation in Guanzhong became calm, but in the vast area east of Hangu Pass, the war was not extinguished by the withdrawal of Qin's forces.
After destroying Qin, the overlord Xiang Yu was full of confidence and adopted the suggestion of the old adviser Fan Zeng. The original intention of using the feudal system to enfeoff the seventeen princes, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng was to sing the opposite tune with the county and county system implemented by the First Emperor. The implementation of the county and county system caused the original survivors of the six countries to lose the privileges they had always enjoyed, which was also the main reason why they took the lead in resisting the rule of the Qin State.
Xiang Yu didn't know that the Qin State was unified and centralized, which meant that it had entered the feudal dynasty era. If he went against the trend and used the practice of slavery, the result would be to perish itself.
Moreover, Xiang Yu made too many mistakes in the implementation of the feudal system. The reason why these princes were crowned was not because of how much military achievements they made, but because of their relationship with Xiang Yu.
Like the king of Henan, Shenyang, they were originally just generals of Zhao. They were also named king because they followed Xiang Yu into the pass. Correspondingly, Chen Yu, the general of Zhao, who made great achievements in the anti-Qin wave, got nothing because he did not follow Xiang Yu.
In addition to Chen Yu, Ying Bu, the former general of the Chu army, was another example. Ying Bu followed Xiang Yu all the way to fight. Unfortunately, in the end, because he was unwilling to stay in Guanzhong, he went against Xiang Yu's will. As a result, Ying Bu, who should have been named King of Jiujiang, only lost the empty name of the Marquis of Jiujiang.
Chen Yu, Ying Bu, and Tian Rong and Tian Heng, who were independent in Qi, have gradually come together in the past year and become the main force against the Chu army. Behind them, there are potential dissatisfied opponents like Han King Liu Bang who are manipulating the chaos in Guandong.
Xiang Yu was furious, Tian Rong, Tian Heng, and Chen Yu were all things that were not up to the table. They were all hunted by the Qin army and hid in Tibet. If it weren't for his help from Xiang Yu, these cowards would have been captured by Zhang Han. Now, they have turned around and questioned their decision.
Send troops to attack!
Destroy these bed bugs.
The proud Xiang Yu rejected Fan Zeng's proposal for reconciliation, and personally proposed that the Chu army attack Tian Rong for 50,000 yuan. At the same time, he ordered Changshan King Zhang Er and Dai King Zhao Xie to send troops to attack Chen Yu, and ordered Xiang Tuo, Zhou Yin and other generals to guard the Shouchun area of Jiujiang County and monitor the Yingbu troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Xiang Yu was brave and powerful. With his ideas, he attacked Tian Rong who was not enterprising. Isn’t it a good thing to win? But he didn’t expect that it was Tian Rong and Tian Heng who dragged Xiang Yu to Qi and could not move, so that Xiang Yu, who could not retreat or retreat, could only do anything.
The first month.
Finally, he learned about Long Qi's defeat from the flying cavalry scout who rushed back from Guanzhong. Xiang Yu was so anxious that he rushed to the capital and chased Tian Rong all the way. The battle between Chu and Qi lasted for more than four months. Several generals under Xiang Yu's command, including Zhonglimei, Xiangzhuang, Ji Bu, etc., showed the spirit of a decisive battle in Julu, and finally cleaned up the bug Tian Rong in Pingyuan County, Qidi.
After Tian Rong's death, Qi land was temporarily stable, and Xiang Yu then freed up his hand to lead the elite Chu army to march to the west again.
Pengcheng in May.
The breath of early summer came to his face. After expelling King Huai of Chu, Xiong Xin, Xiang Yu monopolized Pengcheng. The people of the entire Chu area regarded Xiang Yu as an idol. On Jiangdong, south of the Yangtze River, portraits of Xiang Yu were posted on the doors of the people.
Chu Palace.
A group of generals and advisers from the Western Chu State were discussing the court, and there were not many civil officials. They were led by Yafu Fan Zeng, plus a few other people, including Xiang Bo, Xiang Tuo, etc. After Long Qi was killed, Zhonglimei took over his position and became the number one general under Xiang Yu. Further down are Ji Bu, Xiang Zhuang, Zhou Yin, Ding Gong and others.
Generally speaking, there are few generals under Xiang Yu who are good at fighting and stand alone. This is related to Xiang Yu's material resources. Xiang Yu, who started his business with the power of his uncle Xiang Liang, has more of the backbone of the Xiang family or Jiangdong children, or even a group of old brothers who have followed him for many years. It is very difficult for later people to integrate into the Chu army's team.
Compared with Liu Bang, who has an open and inclusive attitude, Xiang Yu's personality is too strong. In other words, he cannot tolerate any sand, which makes the people who work under him very hard, but they cannot fall well.
Speaking of the contributions to defeating the Qin army, the princes and kings who were watching from all sides played a role in shaking flags and shouting. The one who really exerted death was the generals under Xiang Yu, but they could not get anything. Ying Bu wouldn't talk about him, just say that Zhonglimei, Ji Bu and others were also rushing out at Julu at the risk of life and death.
Now, Ying Bu has completely fallen out with Xiang Yu, and another Chu general, General Pu, Chen Wuze, simply left the Chu army sequence and defected to the thief Peng Yue of Juyeze.
Stimulated by the continuous victory, the Chu army, which had been almost invincible for a year, began to show a crisis, but this hidden danger is still in its infancy, and Xiang Yu did not discover it, and Fan Zeng is the same.
Convention Hall.
Xiang Yu was wearing a loose robe with a golden python belt around his waist. On his face with clear horns, the beard that had just grown not long ago covered his cheeks, which made him feel a little tough.
"Qin general Li Yuan, Yongqiu's escaped soldiers, took advantage of our army's return to the east and used a trick to conspire to defeat Zhang Han. The King of Qin Long Qi led his army to fight, but unfortunately defeated at the foot of Qishan. In February, King of Han Liu Bang led his army into Guanzhong and fought with Li Yuan's troops in Fufeng, Wugong, Liyang and other places. Most of the Han army was defeated and nearly 30,000 troops were lost. Now the King of Han sent messengers to say that Li bandits sent troops to subway Hangu and Lantian, and had the intention to defend Guanzhong. I intend to send troops westward and swear to defeat Li Qin. What do you think?" Xiang Yu's face was as deep as water, and he was talking with emotion in the face of the generals of the Chu army who had just returned from all over the country.
"The overlord is wise, I heard that Li Yuan called himself Shenwu Hou, and he was overestimating his ability." Chu general Ding Gong stepped forward and replied that Ding Gong had been fighting in Dang County and had a close relationship with Han King Liu Bang. At this time, he heard that Liu Bang had a request and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Shenwu Hou, haha, I'm going to see where Li Thief God is and where Wu is?" Xiang Yu was agitated by Ding Gong and couldn't help but feel arrogant and arrogant.
"Over King, Guanzhong is less than a thousand miles away from Pengcheng. Long-distance marching and fighting are always a taboo in military strategists. According to the opinions of his subordinates, it is better to send the King of Henan and the King of Yin as the vanguards. First, we exhaust the morale of the Li bandits. When our soldiers of the Great Chu arrived, we could do our best to fight the Qin army. Then we should hold the head of the Li bandits to hang at the top of Xianyang City to see which Qin people in Guanzhong dares to rebel." Fan Zeng coughed, bowed to Xiang Yu, and advised him.
