After Xiang Liang left the hall, he walked to Fan Zeng's residence and told Fan Zeng about the King of Chu's order for him to hand over his military power. Fan Zeng twirled a few strands of his beard with his hand and said with a wry smile: "General, in fact, I have known for a long time that the king will definitely turn you over."

The military power was taken away."

"Why is this?" Xiang Liang asked very strangely. Could it be that Fan Zeng has the ability to predict the unknown?

"Because I have received a message a few days ago, saying that General Xiang Yu has led troops to occupy Donghai County. How can this not make the king suspicious of you?"

Xiang Liang's face suddenly changed: "You mean Yu'er actually went to attack Donghai County at the critical moment of Da Chu? He is really ignorant. How can you say that he is also a member of Da Chu? So

Wouldn't it be a great help to the people of Qin? Why didn't you inform me as soon as possible after knowing the news?" Xiang Liang's words contained some blame for Xiang Yu and some blame for Fan Zeng.

"General, you have to pay attention to the movements of the Qin army outside the city at all times. I don't want to disturb you or distract you, so I didn't tell you even though I knew about the young general's behavior." Fan Zeng sighed, "But I didn't expect that the king would act like this.

So quickly, he ordered someone to replace the general before I could think of a way to deal with it, ugh!"

"Now the king has appointed Liu Bang as the commander-in-chief of this 200,000-strong army, and I am about to return to Kuaiji County. I don't know whether Liu Bang can withstand the Qin people's attack. I am really worried." Xiang Liangman

He said with a worried face.

Just when Xiang Liang was worried, several generals had also arrived. One of them said: "General Xiang, I heard that the king wants to recall you to Kuaiji County. Is it okay for former general Liu Bang to be the commander?" They said

They were all people who had been favored by Xiang Liang in these defensive battles and had made many military exploits. At the same time, they were also very convinced of Xiang Liang's command.

Xiang Liang nodded and said: "You got the news really quickly. Yes, the king's edict has been issued. I will leave Sishui tomorrow for Kuaiji. I hope you can fight against the Qin army like these days. Don't lose anything."

It has enhanced the majesty of our Chu generals." Xiang Liang said as he gently patted the shoulders of several generals.

The generals suddenly knelt down in the tunnel and said: "General, you must not leave Sishui County. Although we have not fought with Liu Bang, we know that no matter how good he is in fighting, he will not be able to predict the enemy's opportunities like General Xiang and attack us.

The defense of Sishui County is impregnable, and the general is our number one general in Chu. If you leave us, Sishui County will really not be able to be defended."

Xiang Liang also knew that what they said was reasonable. He really didn't know how powerful Liu Bang was on the battlefield. He only knew that when he attacked Sishui County occupied by Liu Bang that day, he found that the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was not strong. If

If the troops he led were generally weak due to Liu Bang's personal reasons, then once he left Surabaya, I am afraid that these 200,000 people would be lost in Liu Bang's hands, and the Chu State would be in danger. Thinking of this, Xiang

Liang really didn't dare to leave Sishui County easily. He looked at several generals and said, "I know that Liu Bang may not be able to hold Sishui County, but I don't dare to disobey the king's order."

Fan Zeng suddenly laughed and said: "Then the edict mentions when the general will leave Surabaya and rush to Kuaiji?"

"That's not true. They just asked me to hand over military power and return to Kuaiji to report on my duties." Xiang Liang laughed as soon as he said this. "Mr. Yi Fan, how many more days can I delay?"

"Yes, anyway, the edict only said that you should hand over your military power. Now the general has handed over all the swords and talismans and has not disobeyed the order. However, the general can stay here for a few more days. This is not Liu Bang and Qu Dou.

It’s all that can be decided.”

"Okay, I will follow what Mr. said and stay here in Surabaya city to see the situation." Xiang Liang made up his mind immediately. Now that he had made up his mind, Xiang Liang no longer planned to go back to Kuaiji, but instead

Go to the lobby.

In the lobby, Liu Bang and Qu Dou had just put down their minds and were talking about how to take the army into their own hands. Suddenly they saw Xiang Liang leaving and returning. Both of them were a little surprised, and Qu Dou asked: "

General, is there anything else you can do?"

Xiang Liang said: "I have decided not to rush back to Kuaiji immediately. This Sishui County is now our gateway to Chu and must not be lost. Therefore, I have decided to assist General Liu here to fight against the Qin army. I don't know what General Liu wants."

how?"

Although Xiang Liang was talking to Liu Bang in a negotiating tone, they actually felt that he had already made up his mind, so after the two looked at each other, Liu Bang said: "Since General Xiang is thinking about me, Da Chu,

, then it’s hard to refuse as a general, but as the saying goes, there must be a general in the army. I wonder, General Xiang, are you staying as the commander-in-chief or something else?" Liu Bang looked at Xiang Liang closely as he said this, for fear that he would reveal himself.

He also wants to be the head coach.

Xiang Liang smiled and said: "Since I have handed over all the swords and talismans, this army is naturally led by General Liu. I am just helping to give ideas."

When Liu Bang heard that Xiang Liang was willing to do this, of course he no longer objected and said: "Then I would like to thank General Xiang for his help."

Qu Dou also said on the side: "In this case, Ben Yin will go back to Kuaiji first. Originally my task was to read the edict and accompany the general back to Kuaiji, but the military is urgent, so I don't think the king will mind too much."

Seeing that these two people were so easy to talk to, Xiang Liang thought that they also put the overall situation first and would no longer confront him over political disputes. He was moved and left the hall with his hands raised.

After Xiang Liang left, Liu Bang looked at Qu Dou and said, "Why did you wink at me just now, asking me to agree to Xiang Liang's stay? Isn't our purpose originally to transfer him back to Kuaiji?"

"Now I have changed my mind. Borrowing Xiang Yu this time can only weaken his military power a little, but it cannot completely bring down Xiang Liang. After returning to Kuaiji, the king will still use him again. But he stays here, Liu

General, you can think of ways to deal with him, and he also said just now that he will obey your orders and will always let you find an opportunity."

Although Qu Dou didn't fully clarify what he said, Liu Bang already knew that he wanted him to use the Qin people's help to get rid of Xiang Liang. Liu Bang remembered that his brother Fan Kuai died because of Xiang Liang's attack, so he nodded.

Nodding. While Xiang Liang was still thinking about how to deal with the Qin army's invasion, two pairs of murderous eyes were already staring at him behind him.

Xiang Yu has completely conquered everyone in Donghai County, especially Long Qie. After seeing Xiang Yu's ability, he admired him very much. In this way, Xiang Yu got a brave, strategic and loyal subordinate. Look.

To this East China Sea

The county was completely under his control, so Xiang Yu decided to return to Jiujiang County with his troops. After all, in his eyes, Donghai County was too remote and not a place for him to show off his skills, not to mention that he still wanted to take control of the Chu Kingdom one day.

On this day, Xiang Yu had bundled up all the troops and entrusted Donghai County to Long Qie. He took more than 20,000 horses to Jiujiang County. The marching speed was not slow along the way, and soon after

Returning to Jiujiang County, as soon as he entered the city, he saw Xiang Tata waiting for him in the city. He felt a little strange, so he stepped forward and asked, "What, have everything in the city been arranged? How can you wait for me here?"

Xiang said with a serious face: "General, just three days after you took the troops to the East China Sea, we received news that the King of Chu changed his generals and General Xiang Liang led the army to fight against Qin. Now you have captured

Donghai County may be detrimental to him."

"What? Why didn't you send someone to tell me, what should I do? Although the King of Chu is not a foolish king, but with Qu Dou fanning the flames, my uncle's situation will not be good." Although Xiang Yu said when he left that day

It is categorical that he no longer has anything to do with Xiang Liang, but after these few days, Xiang Yu's anger has dissipated, and he is still very concerned about Xiang Liang, the uncle who trained him. So he only knows that it is not Xiang who leads the troops.

In Liang Dynasty, he took his troops to attack the East China Sea.

"Now that Donghai County is in our hands, what should have happened has happened. We can only hope that General Xiang can turn the danger into good. And with the general's prestige in the army, I don't think the king will treat him badly.

No matter what, after all, without our Xiang family, Chu's military strength would be greatly weakened." Xiang Ta comforted him.

"By the way, how is the situation in Surabaya now? The Qin army conquered three of our counties at the beginning, and its momentum was like a rainbow. This Surabaya County is not a difficult and dangerous place to attack. How are the casualties of our Chu army?"

Xiang Yu suddenly changed the topic. He knew that mentioning Xiang Liang's matter now would not help, so he simply stopped mentioning it. However, he had already made up his mind. If the King of Chu really dared to go against Xiang Liang, he would send his troops.

Kill the king of Chu, Qu Dou and others, and become the lord of Chu.

"The Qin army attacked Surabaya several times, but they were all repulsed by the general. It seems that the general wanted to drag the Qin army outside the city of Surabaya until they had no food, grass or baggage. The Qin people had no choice but to

Retired without success." Xiang had already learned about the situation there from the spies in Sishui County.

Xiang Yu said: "Then let's wait here. Maybe we don't need to withdraw our troops to Donghai County at all, and the Qin people will be defeated by my uncle."

Xiang Ta smiled bitterly and said: "But I just received news that the King of Chu has sent Liu Bang to Surabaya to replace the general. The general will return to Kuaiji County soon."

"Liu Bang? How can a defeated general lead our Chu army? And although he is from Chu, he surrendered after being defeated by us. It is not credible. I didn't expect that the King of Chu would be so ignorant. It seems that
