Chapter 164 Overlord Xiang Yu
The construction of Chang'an City made Li Yuan immersed in the excitement of making history. As his contact with Xin Zhui increased, Li Yuan also began to get to know this arrogant girl again.
Xin Zhui is smart and cunning. She has the coquettishness of a girl and is quite dedicated. In order to calculate a set of data, she even took her maids and servants on a boat to the Wei River to measure the speed of the water flow. This is not the case in ordinary girls' homes.
It is unimaginable that Xin Zhui could have such thoughts, probably because he inherited Xin Sheng's spleen surname.
On both sides of the streets in the new city, locust trees have been transplanted one after another. This kind of tree with a tall crown and deep roots that likes light can be found in the front yards of homes in northern China. Its flowers, fruits, and bark can be used as medicine.
Regarding the greening tree species in Chang'an City, Li Yuan also considered other tree species, such as pine, ginkgo, sycamore, 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 "Book of Rites of the Spring and Autumn Period" there is this description of the locust tree: "There are many people planting it in front of the garden, one to get its shade, and the other to get the three locust trees as a good omen, hoping for the descendants and the three nobles."
It means "". The locust tree also means hope, and it is said to hope for the safe return of relatives, which is consistent with the name of the city Chang'an.
The days passed with the construction of Chang'an City day by day. From April to May, Li Yuan spent his twenty-fourth birthday in a fulfilling and busy life.
This birthday is the first birthday that Li Yuan has lived since time travel, and it is also the first birthday that the original Li Yuan has lived since he was born.
The three women in Wangyi Palace discussed for a long time and invited Xin Zhui into the palace. However, in front of Xin Xiaoniang, Ying Yushu and the other three, who were at odds with each other, could not take any advantage.
Ying Yushu's attitude is very clear. She is already very satisfied with the current situation. She doesn't ask for any status, as long as she can maintain a secret relationship with Li Yuan. Gu Yunniang is determined to be the first, but after suffering a loss
, she has no self-confidence about her status in Li Yuan's mind.
Xin, this kind of offending work, she just watched with cold eyes, neither close to nor rejecting Xin Zhui; the last remaining Ying Yuman, who had an unjust reputation and had no experience of sharing the joys and sorrows, faced the sharp-tongued
Xin Zhui only went into battle for a few rounds before he was silenced by his mistress.
This interview made Miss Xin Zhui very angry.
Originally, she only had some affection for the uncle Li Yuan, and she had a little bit of a girl's idea of worshiping heroes. When Ying Yuman said it openly and secretly, the girl immediately became annoyed and just said: "I just like the uncle."
Then, he puffed out his cheeks and left the palace.
Do you like it or don't like it.
Xin Zhui actually didn't figure it out himself.
"This deadbeat, dead uncle, this guy who is harming people!" Xin Zhui ran to the ditch beside Chang'an City and stomped on a pile of freshly dug mud.
In the distance, a group of Han army prisoners of war, under the supervision of the Qin army supervisory soldiers, dug out piles of yellow mud from the ground with their upper bodies exposed, shouting low chants, and then dug the stonemasons into the ground.
The good feldspar slabs are arranged neatly——.
Compared with the grand scene of construction, what does a little child's thoughts mean? Xin Zhui wiped a tear from the corner of his eye, puffed up his little chest, and smiled proudly at the coolie prisoners, but she didn't know,
The scene at this moment will leave many prisoners with permanent thoughts in their hearts.
——.
In the second year of Qin and Xinli, in May.
The situation in Guanzhong became calm, but in the vast area east of Hangu Pass, the war did not go out because of the withdrawal of Qin's forces.
After destroying the Qin State, the overlord Xiang Yu was so confident that he took the advice of the old counselor Fan Zeng and adopted the enfeoffment system to enfeoff the seventeen princes and kings. Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's original intention was to oppose the system of prefectures and counties implemented by the First Emperor.
This deed caused the original survivors of the Six Kingdoms to lose the privileges they had always enjoyed. This was also the main reason why they took the lead in resisting the rule of Qin.
Xiang Yu didn't know that Qin's unification and centralized power meant that it had entered the era of feudal dynasty. If he continued to go against the trend and use slavery, the result would be his own destruction.
Moreover, Xiang Yu also made too many mistakes during the implementation of the enfeoffment system. The reason why these princes were granted the title of king did not depend on their great military exploits, but on the distance between them and Xiang Yu.
People like Henan Wang Shenyang were originally just generals of the Zhao State. Because they followed Xiang Yu into the Pass, they were also granted the title of king. Correspondingly, like the Zhao State General Chen Yu who made great achievements in the anti-Qin wave,
Because I didn't follow Xiang Yu, I got nothing.
In addition to Chen Yu, Yingbu, the former general of the Chu army, is another example. Yingbu followed Xiang Yu all the way to the battle. Unfortunately, in the end, he was unwilling to stay in Guanzhong and went against Xiang Yu's wishes. As a result, he should have been named Jiujiang.
Wang's Yingbu only received a short false call from the Marquis of Jiujiang.
Chen Yu, Yingbu, plus Tian Rong and Tian Heng, who were the kings of reading in Qi, these forces that were dissatisfied with Xiang Yu gradually came together in the past year and became a main force against the Chu army.
power, and behind them, there are still potentially dissatisfied opponents like Liu Bang, the King of Han, who are manipulating the chaos in Kanto.
Xiang Yu was furious. Tian Rong, Tian Heng, and Chen Yu were all unworthy people. They were all in the Eastern Tibet Province who were being hunted by the Qin army. If Xiang Yu hadn't sent troops to rescue them, these cowards would have been captured by Zhang Han long ago.
, and now, he is actually questioning his decision.
Send troops to attack!
Get rid of these bugs.
The proud Xiang Yu rejected Fan Zeng's proposal of reconciliation and personally raised 50,000 Chu troops to attack Tian Rong. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Er, king of Changshan, and Zhao Xie, king of Changshan, to send troops to attack Chen Yu. He also ordered Xiang Tuo, Zhou Yin and other generals to guard the area.
In the Shouchun area of Jiujiang County, they monitored the British troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Xiang Yu is brave and brave. With his ideas, attacking Tian Rong, who is not willing to make progress, is not a matter of easy capture. However, it is Tian Rong and Tian Heng who drag Xiang Yu to the ground and cannot move, making the decisive battle impossible and unable to retreat.
Xiang Yu could only act in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
First month.
Finally learning the news of Long Qie's defeat from the flying cavalry scouts who rushed back from Guanzhong, Xiang Yu became furious and chased Tian Rong all the way. This battle between Chu and Qi lasted for more than four days.
That month, several generals under Xiang Yu, including Zhong Limei, Xiang Zhuang, and Ji Bu, showed off the vigor of a decisive battle with Julu, and finally eliminated the bug Tian Rong in Qidi Pingyuan County.
After Tian Rong's death, Qi's territory was temporarily peaceful, and Xiang Yu was free to prepare to lead the elite Chu army to the west again.
Pengcheng in May.
The breath of early summer hit us. After expelling King Xiong Xin of Chu Huai, Xiang Yu monopolized Pengcheng. The people of the entire Chu region regarded Xiang Yu as an idol. In Jiangdong, south of the Yangtze River, paintings were posted on the doors of the people.
There is a portrait of Xiang Yu.
Chu Palace.
A group of generals and counselors from the Western Chu Kingdom were discussing at court. There were not many civil servants, headed by Yafu Fan Zeng, plus Xiang Bo, Xiang Tuo and a few others. As for the generals, after Long Qie died in battle, Zhong Limei succeeded him.
Position, he became the number one general under Xiang Yu, followed by Ji Bu, Xiang Zhuang, Zhou Yin, Ding Gong and others.
Generally speaking, there are still few generals under Xiang Yu who are good at fighting and stand alone. This has something to do with Xiang Yu's selection of materials. Xiang Yu, who started his career relying on the strength of his uncle Xiang Liang, is more likely to be a descendant of the Xiang family or a descendant of Jiangdong.
As the backbone, or a group of old brothers who have followed him for many years, it is quite difficult for those who come later to integrate into the Chu army's team.
Compared with Liu Bang who has an open and tolerant attitude, Xiang Yu's character is too strong. In other words, he cannot tolerate a little sand. This makes the people who work under him very hard, but they are not good.
Speaking of the credit for defeating the Qin army, the princes and kings who stood on the sidelines at best played a role of waving the flag and shouting. It was the generals under Xiang Yu who really made the most of their efforts, but they could not get anything. Yingbu could not get anything.
Let’s not talk about him, let’s just say that Zhong Limei, Ji Bu and others also rushed out of Julu at the risk of life and death.
Now, Yingbu had completely fallen out with Xiang Yu, and another Chu general, Pu General Chen Wuze, simply broke away from the Chu army and went to Peng Yue, the thief in Juyeze.
Stimulated by successive great victories, the Chu army, which had faced almost all enemies for the past year, began to show signs of crisis. However, this hidden danger was still in its infancy. Xiang Yu did not notice it, and neither did Fan Zeng.
The meeting hall.
Xiang Yu rarely wore a loose robe, with a golden python belt tied around his waist. On his face with sharp horns, a beard that had just grown out covered the lower half of his face, making his whole body look more elegant.
Very fierce.
"Qin general Li Yuan, who fled from Yongqiu, took advantage of the opportunity of our army's return eastward to defraud Guanzhong and rebelled against Zhang Han. The former Qin king Long Qie led his army to fight, but unfortunately he was defeated at the foot of Qishan. 2
In the following month, Liu Bang, king of the Han Dynasty, led his troops into Guanzhong and fought with Li Yuan's troops in Fufeng, Wugong, Yueyang and other places.
The army was defeated in large numbers, and nearly 30,000 troops were lost. Now the king of Han sent a messenger to say that the thieves Li sent troops to seize Han Valley and Lantian, and planned to defend the pass. I intend to send troops west again to defeat Li Qin. What do you think?
How?" Xiang Yu's face was as dark as water, and he spoke with emotion to the generals of the Chu army who had just returned from various places.
"The overlord is wise. I heard that Li Yuan called himself Shenwuhou. He really overestimated his capabilities." Chu general Ding Gong stepped forward and replied. Ding Gong has been fighting in Dang County and has an irreversible relationship with Liu Bang, the king of Han.
When he heard Liu Bang's request, he quickly stepped forward.
"Marquis Shen Wu, haha, I want to see where Li Thief is and where Wu is?" Xiang Yu was provoked by Ding Gong and couldn't help but feel arrogant.
"Overlord, Guanzhong is no less than a thousand miles away from Pengcheng. Long-distance marching and fighting has always been a taboo for military strategists. In the opinion of my subordinates, it is better to send the troops of the King of Henan and the King of Yin as the vanguard to weaken the morale of the Li thieves first, and then wait for us.
As soon as the Chu soldiers arrive, they can work hard to defeat the Qin army again. When the time comes, they will hang the head of the traitor Li on the top of Xianyang City to see which of the Qin people in Guanzhong dares to rebel." Fan Zeng coughed and bowed to Xiang Yu, admonishing him.
