The Great Qin world.

With the disintegration of the Huns in the north, they suddenly lost their most threatening enemy. But in its south, south of the river, the rule of Qin was far from reaching a peaceful and peaceful state.

Spring in Jiangnan.

It is always accompanied by drizzling drizzles. On a rare day, wild flowers in the mountains and forests will compete to bloom, making people feel refreshed.

Wuyi Mountain Road.

On the mountain road from the former place of Yue Kingdom to the Minyue Royal City, an army under the banner of "Xiang Chu" was heading south. In the team, a sturdy general with a whisker raised his head high and kept urging his soldiers to follow up quickly.

Xiang Chu has been dead for a year.

At this time, people who still insisted on using Chu as the national system under the banner of Xiang were the last hope of Xiang Zhuang.

Since the southward transition, Xiang Zhuang has led a group of defeated soldiers to fight against Jiangdong, and has successively reached a unified opinion with the leaders of the Fan tribe, Baiyue and other tribes to jointly resist Qin. However, this alliance has collapsed and dissipated again and again in the face of the powerful Qin army's oppression.

Time flies. Nearly a year has passed since Xiang Yu died and Chu State fell to the present. After Xiang Zhuang crossed the river and returned to Jiangdong, he also worked hard and struggled. However, as the Qin army continued to cross the south, the foundation of Xiang's family in Jiangdong began to shake.

At the end of December last year.

Xiang Zhuang mustered up the courage and led nearly 10,000 soldiers of the remaining Chu boats and oars that had been pieced together, and fought a decisive battle with Qin general Jiang Yu on the bank of Taihu Lake since the Wu and Yue battle for hegemony. This battle was a boat and oars battle that Xiang Zhuang placed hope for. Shan Ji, a son of Jiangdong, had this advantage. Xiang Zhuang wanted to comfort Xiang Yu's spirit in heaven with a victory.

However, the process of the war disappointed Xiang Zhuang very much.

The number of troops that the Qin army participated in the war reached an unprecedented 50,000. What is more important is that the Qin army that flew south was mostly the former Chu army that had just surrendered to Qin State. Among these soldiers, among the generals, there were also former Chu Grand Marshal Zhou Yin, generals Ding Gong, Huan Chu and others.

Among these people, Zhou Yin was a Jiangdong residency for two years. He was quite familiar with the situation in the south, and Huan Chu was Xiang Yu's former cavalry commander. His abilities were almost comparable to Xiang Zhuang. However, he later lost the opportunity to become famous in the Chu army due to war injuries. This time, when Huan Chu saw Ji Bu, Zhongli Mei and other former Chu generals surrendered to Qin, he began to listen to the advice and become a first-class general in the Qin army.

Huan Chu was originally from Jiangdong. He was born into a water bandit and had a relationship with the thief Yingbu. Many of Xiang Zhuang's skills in water battles were learned from Huan Chu.

The result of the war ended with Xiang Zhuang's defeat again. The only thing that made him lucky was that a reinforcement team composed of Shengfanyue people recruited not long ago came from Qiantang, which just solved his predicament. In this battle, Xiang Zhuang's troops lost more than 6,000 troops, including many brave men.

In desperation, Xiang Zhuang decided to lead the remaining troops to retreat south and waited for an opportunity to meet Wuzhu, the descendants of Goujian, the King of Ancient Yue who was active in the Fujian and Yue area.

Wu Zhu was a descendant of King Yue. When the Chu State destroyed Yue, Wu Zhu's ancestors fled to Fujian with their tribes. Before Emperor Shin-Emperor unified the country, Wu Zhu had proclaimed himself King Yue, but was then demoted to the king by Emperor Shin-Emperor without hesitation. This resentment accumulated in Wu Zhu's heart for a long time, which also made him join the various princes who opposed Qin.

Of course, with Wuzhu's strength and position, it was almost impossible for him to actually send troops to join the Central Plains war. At most, he would send some warriors from his clan to join the anti-Qin princes. Four years ago, Mei Juan, the leader of the Wuling Yue tribe, led his troops to support King Liu Bang of Han and fought against Jingnan with Li Yuan's Qin army.

Among his team were Wuzhu's troops. After Liu Bang's defeat, Wuzhu, Mei Juan and other southern anti-Qin forces chose to retreat south of the river to rest.

When he was desperate and Jiangdong could no longer gain a foothold, Xiang Zhuang had to seek refuge with Wu Zhuang. It felt uncomfortable to rely on others, especially for someone like Xiang Zhuang, who was irritable. But now, he only had this path to do so. Whether the rest was to seek refuge with Mei Juan or Wu Rui, the only prince who still had territory, he would face the next blow from the Qin army.

With Xiang Zhuang's understanding of Wu Rui's character, it is impossible to guarantee whether this guy who is used to being two-faced and three-killer will betray him. Then he mentioned his Xiang Zhuang's title and went to Li Yuan to seek credit for rewards.

The ninth year of the Xinli period of Qin.

spring.

Minyue King City.

King Wuzhu of Yue, Mei Juan, leader of the Mei Yue tribe, and Xiang Zhuang, general of the Western Chu State, these three forces with a life-and-death hatred from Qin State gathered together.

Wuzhu occupied the vast territory of Fujian. Like the Xiongnu, the Yue people were all soldiers. Wuzhu's ancestors have been here for many generations. Although the Fujian area is not suitable for the population to reproduce, Wuzhu's tenacity still makes Wuzhu very proud.

Mei Juan's Wuling tribe has been in a very low state after being defeated by the Qin army in Jingnan. After finally resting for nearly two years, Mei Juan gathered about 20,000 Baiyue tribes. This coalition is now stationed in Lingnan and continues to block the major transportation routes between South Vietnam and the north.

Compared with Wuzhu, Meijuan, Xiangzhuang's situation is much worse and worse. He retreated from Wujun all the way, and the Xiang family's attraction to the children of Jiangdong is also weakening day by day. Compared with the Central Plains, Jiangdong is a side-living place, while compared with the more remote Minyue, Jiangdong is actually a paradise on earth. In comparison with this natural living conditions, there are not many soldiers willing to follow Xiangzhuang to Fujian. Now, Xiangzhuang has gathered together all the way but gathered more than 2,000 people.

Among these two thousand people, about 600 were from the Xiang clan. After Xiang Yu established Chu, the center of gravity of the Xiang clan also moved to Pengcheng as a whole. However, there was still a root system in his hometown, Wujun. However, most of the Xiang clans left behind were marginal branches, and their relationship with Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang was worse than Xiang Han and Xiang Ying back then.

In addition to the Xiang clan, some of the soldiers following Xiangzhuang were the families of the fallen generals in the battle with Qin. On the one hand, they were afraid that the Qin army would come and kill them. On the other hand, they also believed Xiangzhuang's conspiracy and decided to hide in the Fujian and Yue area.

The Wuyi Mountains in Fujian are many narrow and deep valleys, and hundreds of people hide in them. Even if you are separated by a mountain, you will not be able to find someone not far away.

Xiang Zhuang led his army into Fujian. Along the way, he saw the mountains and landforms of the Wuyi Xianxia area. His depressed mood was greatly improved. In the dense mountains and forests in the south, the strengths of the Qin army would be greatly restricted, while the anti-Qin forces, dominated by the Yue people, could use favorable terrain to severely damage the enemy.
