Fusu's wishful thinking turned out to be wrong, because the next day Xiang Liang and others returned to Kuaiji County with their guards. Because King Xiao Chu fell ill, for his health and safety, they had to get up and rush immediately.

Return to Kuaiji.

Watching their retreating figures, Fusu stood motionless at the city gate for a long time. He felt that God was against him. He had just thought of a plan when it was completely shattered by the illness of the little King Chu. It seemed that he

I still have to think of another way.

"I can assassinate the prince on the way or in Kuaiji." Peng Hongmao recommended himself.

"No, this is not safe. Secondly, Liu Bang cannot be dragged in because his subordinates have already left him and gone back to Surabaya when he returned to Kuaiji." Fusu said, patting Peng Hong on the shoulder, "Wait for the next time.

Take the opportunity, we are not in a hurry."

The two stood for a while, and Fusu suddenly said: "Brother Peng, please go back to Shangjun first. I am safe here now. Tell General Meng and the others about my situation, and it will also reassure them. If you can return it,

Can you bring some people to help me."

Peng Hong nodded: "Okay, I will go back to Shangjun now. I hope the prince will take care of himself." After saying that, he jumped on a horse and turned around to leave.

Just when Zhao Gao and Hu Hai were fighting fiercely in Xianyang, the Chu State was at odds with each other again, there was no leader like Fusu in Shangjun, and Zhao State was dying, no one was taking it seriously anymore.

The Xing State began to show its prominence, that is, the State of Qi. At that time, the Qi people did not attract the attention of the court when they started to cause trouble. Later, because of the sharp talents of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others, and the fact that the Qi people were located in the far east, they could calmly

Development has now achieved great results.

Most of the royal family members of the Qi people were taken to Xianyang by the Qin people after they captured Linzi. However, the Qin people forgot that the Wang Tian family at that time was not the real owner of Qi. The real owner should be Jiang.

Because hundreds of years had passed since the Tian family replaced Jiang when Qin destroyed Qi, the Qin people did not think of this, which allowed the Jiang family to survive. But when the world was in chaos

, the people of Qi supported Jiang Mengda, a descendant of the Jiang family, to become the new master of Qi.

After they captured Linzi at an extremely fast speed, Jiang Mengda began to gather troops and prepare to attack the surrounding counties. Their first target was Jiaodong County. Because Linzi was completely occupied by the Qi people, Jiaodong County was

The city was cut off from the west and became an isolated city, so the Qi people basically captured the city without any bloodshed. The Qi people with two counties had already established a firm foothold, but their actions were not

Not quickly, they continued to expand their territory by cannibalizing. After occupying the city, they did not show off how powerful their troops and horses were. Instead, they stopped and no one knew that they had occupied this place.

In this way, under the cover of other rebels, the Qi people began to slowly increase their territory. The three counties of Jibei, Langxie, and Xuejun fell into the hands of the Qi people one after another, but the people of the world did not notice them at all. At this time, their target

I have already set my sights on Donghai County, which was captured by Liu Bang.

Qi people's careful work has completely figured out the situation in Donghai County. Since Zhou Bo left with his large army, the number of guards here has been very small, with less than 10,000 people. This is indeed a good way to take him down.

Opportunity. But the Qi people also knew that once they took Donghai County, they would have a head-on confrontation with the Chu people, and their low-key behavior would come to an end. After weighing it again and again, Jiang Mengda decided to attack Donghai County.

In less than three days, Donghai County was captured by the Qi people. But after all, Donghai County is different from the Qi Jiu land that the Qi people captured before. The people of the previous counties and counties stood on their side to deal with the Qin people.

, but this place has now become the territory of the rebel army, and the people of Qi can live here, so they did not help the Qi people. As a result, many Liu Bang's troops fled Donghai County and rushed to Surabaya to report.

When the generals in Surabaya learned of the news, they immediately sent people to report the fall of Donghai County to the Chu court in Kuaiji. At this time, Xiang Liang and others had just returned to Kuaiji from Jiujiang.

"It's unreasonable. The Qi people actually launched an attack on our Chu territory despite the fact that we are also anti-Qin rebels. We must show them some shame." Qu Dou said angrily in the lobby.

On the contrary, Xiang Liang didn't have much anger. He looked at him calmly and said: "Since Qu Lingyin said so, you can lead the troops to drive the Qi people away from Donghai County." Lingyin was the prime minister of the Chu people and the state of Chu.

After the re-establishment, their official positions were the same as those of the Chu State.

"You..." Qu Dou was furious. He knew very well that he didn't know much about military affairs. Even if he did, judging from the fact that 80% of Chu's army was now in the hands of Xiang Liang, he didn't know much about it.

He might have led troops to fight the Qi people. He took a breath and calmed down the anger in his chest before saying, "Then what should we do according to General Xiang's opinion?"

"We are all insurrectionists. In my opinion, we should be polite first and then attack with troops. Lord Qu will send an envoy to Qidi to ask them to return to the East China Sea. If they still refuse, it will not be too late for us to send troops there again." Xiang Liang said lazily.

.

Qu Dou knew that he had basically no power in the military, so he had no choice but to listen to Xiang Liang's opinion. The young King of Chu above was just a decoration. Since they had reached a plan, he could only nod.

"Why didn't uncle immediately send troops to take back the East China Sea? Once the Qi people completely control the East China Sea, it will be very difficult for us to take it back." Xiang Yu asked puzzledly after the court meeting ended.

road.

Xiang Liang sneered and said: "Now our Chu country actually does not lack this city or place. What we lack is our internal unity. Last time someone dared to assassinate me in the dragon boat race. It was precisely the many forces in our Chu country.

Performance. This time I just took advantage of Qi Ren’s incident to suppress Qu Dou’s prestige, and if it goes well, I can even make him step down from Ling Yin’s position.”

"I don't understand this." Xiang Yu looked at his uncle with some confusion.

"We are the civil and military leaders of Chu and Qu Dou respectively. If the Qi people occupy our Donghai this time and he can't solve it with Wen, and our soldiers take back Donghai County as soon as our soldiers arrive, his prestige among the Chu people will definitely plummet.

By then he will no longer be able to sit in Ling Yin's position."

"But what if his people really convinced the Qi people to return the East China Sea?"

"This is impossible, because the old land of Donghai County originally belonged to the Qi people. They just took back their own land and would not give me great face. Otherwise, how can the king of Qi people see the people of Qi again?

?" Xiang Liang laughed and said, "So this is my best chance to suppress him."

Xiang Yu couldn't understand his uncle's thoughts. In fact, he had more than 80% of Chu's troops and horses, and he was fully capable of driving Qu Dou away from the Chu court. Why bother to fight with him? But he thought that his uncle had always been

There is nothing wrong, Xiang Yu still believes in Xiang Liang's strategy.

In the entire Chu State, Liu Bang was the only one who was most happy about the Qi people's capture of Donghai County. He knew that this was another opportunity for him, so he thought of a way to provoke an all-out war between Chu and Qi. He sent people to Kuaiji County

The news spread widely in the country that the Qi people would use Donghai County as a springboard to launch attacks on several other counties in the Chu State. All of a sudden, everyone in the Chu State felt hatred towards the Qi people.

"Pei Gong, do you want to take the opportunity to provoke a war between the two countries again?" Xiao He hurriedly came to Liu Bang after learning the news.

"Yes, only in this way can Chu's national strength be depleted, giving us a chance to deal with them."

"But now Qu Dou is sending people to Qi State. If Qi State really gives in, then..."

"So we have to help them and let Qi Chu really start the war." Liu Bang said murderously.

"Pei Gong, what do you think?" Xiao He had actually thought of his idea as soon as he saw his appearance, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Because he felt that Liu Bang now was very different from the Liu Bang before.

He seems to be becoming more and more unscrupulous.

The envoys sent to Qi State did not fulfill their mission as Xiang Liang expected, and were intercepted and killed on their way back from Linzi. Although no one knew who killed them, Chu

But the people put this account on Qi Ren's head.

Qu Dou took the blame for being unaccounted for, but he became suspicious of Xiang Liang. He suspected that he was the envoy sent by Xiang Liang to kill him in order to hurt himself.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that my nephew Xiang Yu lead the army to take back Donghai County." Xiang Liang said in the court. He knew that now was the final moment of decisive battle between himself and Qu Dou, so he could not leave, so he had to send Xiang Yu there.

"Your Majesty, I recommend General Song Yi." Qu Dou was also making his final struggle. As long as the person he recommended took over Donghai County, he would have redeemed himself. "General Xiang Yu is young after all, and he has never led an army alone.

, I’m afraid he won’t be able to complete this mission.”

"Xiao Chen Liu Bang is also willing to lead troops there. After all, the East China Sea is originally Xiao Chen's territory, and it is his duty to go there." Liu Bang also came to join in at this time.

The little King Chu looked at this and that, completely unsure of what to do. At this time, the chamberlain beside him whispered something in his ear, so he said: "Since everyone wants to do great things for me,

If Chu is to contribute, I will ask you to lead troops to Donghai County together, with Song Yi as the chief general, Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu as deputy generals. Do you think this is good?"

This move completely left everyone speechless and they had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
