After hearing what Zhao Gao said, Hu Hai smiled and said: "Zhao Qing, don't worry too much, I will naturally give you a fair judgment. In the day shift, you said that the main reason for this defeat was Zhao Changke's command error. Can anyone testify?"

The day shift hurriedly said: "The soldiers who came back with me this time can all testify that everything is indeed Zhao Changke's fault."

"Of course these soldiers are led by you, how can you prove this?" Zhao Gao said coldly.

"Then Mr. Zhao, how do you decide?" Hu Hai suddenly asked, "You don't believe what General Bai said, and you don't believe what the soldiers said. Do you want to save Zhao Changke before you believe it?"

"This..." Zhao Gao had no countermeasures for a moment and was filled with hatred. However, he could not refute Hu Hai's words, but he still said: "Even if Zhao Changke is wrong, you can't get rid of the day shift as the commander of the army."

relationship."

"The general knows that he is guilty, but the mistakes made by others cannot be imposed on the general." Bai Ban replied loudly. He knew that he had completely turned against Zhao Gao this time, so he simply stopped worrying about anything and continued, "

Moreover, the last general also helped General Wang Li, who was guarding the Shangdang, to defeat Meng Tian. This should be enough for the emperor to offset the last general’s mistake."

Hu Hai was overjoyed when he saw that the day class dared to contradict Zhao Gao like this. At this time, he already wanted to draw the day class to his side to fight against Zhao Gao, so he said: "So you made this decision on the way back to Xianyang.

Gong, good, I will absolve you of the blame for the defeat, you can go down and rest."

"Emperor, this..." Zhao Gao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Hu Hai.

Hu Hai stood up and said, "I'm tired too, you two just go out of the palace." After saying that, he left Zhao Gao there and left.

Seeing the emperor leaving, the day shift also stood up and bowed his hands to Zhao Gaowei before leaving. Zhao Gao was so angry that he wanted to kill him. "You can be proud of yourself. I will kill you all in my hands in a few days." Zhao Gao said.

Watching the day shift leave with fire in his eyes.

After Hu Hai left the hall, he felt very proud: "I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains in this expedition against Chu. This Bai Ban can be regarded as a tiger general. Now I can recruit him to deal with Zhao Gao. Now I have Bai Ban and Zhang Han."

, more than half of Xianyang City’s army is in my hands, it’s time to deal with him.”

After several trial attacks, Meng Tian found that Shangdang was indeed difficult to capture, so he no longer forced the attack, but still assumed an offensive posture, but began to conserve his strength. However, there was no news from Xianyang, which also made Meng Tian

Meng Tian was very uneasy and didn't know where Fusu's cavalry had gone or whether they were facing Qin soldiers.

The days passed like this, autumn was coming to an end, and the weather was getting colder. Just when Meng Tian couldn't support it anymore and wanted to retreat, Fusu's messenger arrived. He saw Fusu's letter to him, telling him that he was heading to Xianyang.

Meng Tian was relieved when he encountered the Huns on the road and suffered some damage. Finally, he had to return to Beidi County.

Meng Tian was also very happy to be able to return to Beidi County safely.

Now that the main attackers had retreated, Meng Tian didn't want to waste time with Wang Li here anymore, so he led his army back to Taiyuan City. Wang Li was afraid that he was cheating, so he could only watch Meng Tian safely retreat to Taiyuan County.

But there was no action. A life-and-death battle was temporarily stopped due to the retreat of the troops led by the day shift and the appearance of the Huns.

The Central Plains area has temporarily calmed down, but the Chu State is beginning to stir up trouble. After the last defeat of Qin's 100,000-strong army, the people of Chu have become unprecedentedly confident. They already believe that the day will come when Chu will unify the world.

It's almost here. Although many soldiers were killed in this battle with the Qin people, the number of Chu soldiers only increased, and now there are 150,000 troops.

Among so many Chu people, Xiang Yu is the one who is most convinced that he will defeat the Qin people. In the past few days, he has proposed no less than ten times to lead troops to attack other counties of the Qin people, but Xiang Liang stopped them all.

, today he once again proposed to attack Chen County. Seeing his nephew once again proposed to attack Chen County, Xiang Liang smiled and said: "Yu'er, why do you repeatedly lead troops to attack Qin's territory? Do you have

Are you sure you can take down Chen Jun?"

"Although I'm not completely sure, I think now is a great opportunity for us Chu people to launch a massive counterattack against Qin. Uncle, do you want to watch the opportunity slip away from your hands?" Xiang Yu looked at it with a puzzled look on his face.

Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang said: "Now is not the time for us Chu people to replace the Qin people. Not only are we inferior to the Qin people in terms of military strength, but we are also not strong enough to fight with the Qin people in terms of population, weapons, etc. If we rashly do so now

If we go to war with the Qin people, we Chu people will suffer huge losses, and others may even get an advantage from it, so I want the Chu people to defend a few of their counties and not take the initiative to fight with the Qin people."

"What General Xiang said is too great for the ambition of the Qin people and destroys the prestige of our Chu people." Qu Dou, who had not had any disagreements with Xiang Liang in these days, stood up and said: "In fact, what General Xiang said is very reasonable. Now

We, the people of Chu, are united and our morale is unprecedentedly high. If we don’t take this opportunity to destroy the Qin people, they will send their troops to attack us again after they catch their breath. But General Xiang is bent on seeking stability, which is very important to me.

It is not a blessing for the people of Chu. Therefore, Your Majesty, I want to personally lead the troops to take down Chen County."

Xiang Liang was shocked when he saw that Qu Dou actually followed his nephew's advice and wanted to gain the military power he had never had. Now his reputation in Chu Land has greatly surpassed that of Qu Dou, and even suppressed the King of Chu. Now Chu

The king must be dissatisfied with himself. Qu Dou's current proposal is a clever way to weaken his influence in the army. He hurriedly objected: "Don't send troops. Our Chu army is exhausted after the battle in the past few days.

In addition, it is almost winter and it is not suitable to send troops, so I think it is better to attack Chen County after the spring of next year. Then Chen Zi will lead his troops to take down Chen County."

Although the King of Chu was young, he already vaguely felt the threat Xiang Liang posed to him, and he did not want him to make military exploits again, so he looked at Qu Dou with eager eyes, hoping that he could refute Xiang Liang and thus stop him.

of prestige.

Qu Dou had no intention of refuting, but suddenly he saw the look in King Chu's eyes, and he continued with confidence: "It would be fine if the general said this in the Central Plains, but our Chu country is in the south, and winter is not the same.

It's not as cold as in the north. We can send troops now to capture Chen County before the coldest weather arrives. However, Qin's army is unable to send troops because of the cold weather. By the time the weather gets warmer next spring, we will have completely controlled Chen County.

The people of Qin can't do anything to us."

"What Qu Lingyin said is true. I will leave the important task of taking down Chen County to you." The King of Chu issued the order without waiting for Xiang Liang's objection, so Xiang Liang could only swallow his objection. So in

In the main hall, Qu Dou selected the generals for the expedition against Chen County - with Qu Dou himself as the commander-in-chief, Liu Bang and Song Yi as his deputies, plus Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others, Xiang Liang's side was completely abandoned.

.

After leaving the palace, Xiang Liang said angrily to Xiang Yu: "What a good thing now. Not only can you not lead the troops to go out after fighting for a long time, but you have given Qu Dou and others an advantage."

"That's why, uncle, you refused to let me lead the army." Xiang Yu was no less angry than Xiang Liang at this time, "If you had agreed to me leading the army to attack Chen County, how could you have been snatched away by Qu Dou? I just can't.

I wanted to make more military exploits so that my uncle would have a helper in the court, but you have repeatedly blocked me. Are you afraid that I will take away your achievements? So you always don't let me have the opportunity to lead troops and show off my skills.

"These days, Xiang Yu has always been suppressed by Xiang Liang, preventing him from having a happy fight. He has been holding back a fire in his heart for a long time, and today he finally let it out.

Xiang Liang looked at his nephew in disbelief. He didn't expect that he would think that he was this kind of person. What he wanted to say was not said out, and he sighed: "Since you think of me like this

, then I will no longer interfere with your affairs in the future." After saying that, he dismounted the horse and moved forward.

Xiang Yu regretted saying what he had always hidden in his heart, but his pride did not allow him to apologize to his uncle. When he saw his uncle leaving, he just looked at him to see him off.

"General, the old general has been training you these days, you can't say that to him." Xiang Tao saw that these two uncles and nephews had a falling out, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

But Xiang Yu is not a person who can accept criticism from others. He can be more restrained in front of his uncle, but he will not be polite to his subordinates, not to mention that he is still angry now, so he coldly snorted: "Xiang, you

What does this mean? Is it wrong for me to want to make contributions to Da Chu? Moreover, all the military achievements during this period were done by my uncle. I just followed him and made some small contributions. This is also true. If

My uncle has long asked me to lead troops in battle, and I should be a general now. Have you forgotten about the last time we captured Donghai County?"

When Xiang Tao saw that Xiang Yu was really angry, and his attempts to persuade him would only add fuel to the fire, he wisely shut his mouth.

What Xiang Yu said to Xiang Tao just now strengthened his belief that he was not wrong. At the same time, he also determined that Xiang Liang was suppressing him so that he could monopolize power. At this point, the conflict between the two uncles and nephews arose.

Three days later, Qu Dou's army set off. This time he did not dare to take off too much, so he took a total of 60,000 horses and divided them into three armies, the front, middle and rear, and headed for Chen County. The front army was led by Liu Bang.
