Chapter 348 Liang Jun’s Tomb

Ziling, the study room of the Chu Palace. "

Xiang Zhuang was looking at the Jingxiang map hanging on the screen and pondering. There was indeed no food stored in the national treasury. The only 100,000 stone of grain had been all transferred to Jiangling. The reinforcements that could be sent were sent, and no matter how many reinforcements were sent, they could not be sent out. However, Xiang Zhuang could not just let go of the Jingxiang battle situation.

The situation in Jingxiang is related to the fate of Chu State!

Gao Chu is Xiang Zhuang’s most trusted general, but can he really take on such a heavy responsibility?

Xiang Zhuang was worried about gains and losses, but Qu Bucai suddenly walked out of the shadow in the corner and bowed and said, "King, I just received a letter from the Jiangling Feige. General Gao Chu decided to take the initiative to attack and face the Liang army."

"Gao Chu wants to take the initiative?" Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly. Gao Chu really dared to think and do it!

When he thought about it again, Xiang Zhuang felt relieved. As a monarch, he could not do everything himself, nor could he personally participate in and command every war. Moreover, the Battle of Bashu has proved that Xiang Zhuang is not a handsome man at all. He may be an excellent general, an outstanding politician, but definitely not a qualified commander.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Zhuang handed over Jingxiang to Gao Chu.

As the saying goes, don’t doubt people, don’t doubt people. Since Jing Xiang has been handed over to Gao Chu, and since you have decided to believe Gao Chu, why bother with gains and losses?

Xiang Zhuang said to Qu Bucai: "Old Qu, accompany me out for a walk."

Qu Bucai accompanied Xiang Zhuang out of the study room and arrived at the back garden of the palace without realizing it. It was already late at night, and there was no one in the back garden, and it was silent. However, when the king and his minister approached the rockery, they heard a sound. Qu Bucai instinctively drew his sword and blocked Xiang Zhuang, but Xiang Zhuang waved his hand.

There may not be assassins in this palace, and there are really assassins that cannot be stopped even if they are not talented.

When I walked to the rockery and looked forward, I saw that under the bright moonlight, two children were carrying wooden boxes with great effort. Qu Bucai had good eyesight. He lowered his voice and said, "The King, it seems to be the Prince Zheng and Gao Lang."

"Gao Lang?" Xiang Zhuang thought, "This name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Qu Bucai said: "Gao Lang is the eldest son of General Gao Chu, and the Fisherman of Qin. The name is given by you by the King."

"Oh, I remembered it." Xiang Zhuang said suddenly, "It turned out to be Shi Zhi's son, who has grown up so big."

While speaking, the two children had already put a wooden box onto the top of the "mountain" made of hundreds of wooden boxes. Then Xiang Zheng stood on the top of the wooden box, reached out and picked a plum from the plum tree, turned around and handed it to Gao Lang who was standing under the box and said, "Alang, I picked it, I picked the plum!"

Li Zi?! Xiang Zhuang's heart suddenly shook slightly. He suddenly recalled that three days ago, Xiang Zheng, Xiang Zhi, Xiang Shu, Xiang Quan and other children had never picked plums here. Some used ladders and some climbed trees directly, but they all seemed to have failed. Xiang Zheng seemed to be moving boxes at that time. Could it be that he had been doing this for the past three days?

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang suddenly felt a strange throbbing in his heart. Xiang Zheng was a little stupid, but his persistence and never giving up until he achieved his goal is a necessary quality for the best.

Gao Chu, surrounded by Pojun, Xu Jiang, Ziche Shi and hundreds of personal soldiers, climbed the Green Forest Mountain east of Mianshui. He was accompanied by Yaxiang Bu Bi of the former Linjiang Kingdom, but Bu Bi is now the magistrate of Nanjun of Dachu.

Standing on the top of the highest mountain in Green Forest Mountain, you can see the mountains, rivers and lakes within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Bu Bi pointed to the vast fields between Mianshui and Green Forest Mountain and said, "General, this area is Green Forest. This place was still a marina decades ago. It was only after Mianshui was diverted and it gradually dried up. However, in June and July every year, it will still be flooded by flooded rivers and turned into a marina."

"In June and July?" Gao Chu frowned and whispered, "but it's too late."

Xu Jiang stroked the willow beard on his chin and suddenly said, "So, can we change the Mianshui waterway back?"

Bu Bi said without thinking: "This is not difficult, you just need to clear the few silts in front of you. However, once the Mianshui waterway is converted back, this large area of ​​fertile land will be flooded. The temple."

"It's here!" Gao Chu said with a fistful voice, "This is the tomb of 100,000 Liang Jun!"

"Is the general trying to lure Liang Jun here to flood?" Bu Bi took a terrifying breath and said, "I'm afraid this is not easy, right? The green wilderness terrain is low and Liang Jun is not stupid. It won't be so easy to enter the hub, right?"

"You don't need to worry about this." Gao Chu groaned and said coldly, "You only need to collect five thousand civilians as soon as possible and wait for the general's order in the Green Forest Mountain."

"Here!" Bu Bi replied nonchalantly.

"Let's go!" Gao Chu said to Xu Jiang, Po Jun and Ziche Shi again, "Go back to the camp, let's make up for it, how can we anger Peng Yue and lure Liang Jun into Luyeze!"

On the road leading to Deng County in Wancheng, Liu Kou's 30,000 vanguards were heading south like locusts.

Wherever Liu Kou's army passed, the counties, market towns and villages along the way were basically abandoned.

Nanyang County was originally a large-capacity county, and Wan County was the leading county in Nanyang County. However, since Nanyang County was divided into two ten years ago, Wan County, Zhuyang, Huyang, Rang County and other counties assigned to Liang State have fallen. Because Liang State's harsh policies are as numerous as cows, while the taxes in the Han State are relatively light, most of the people fled to the northern counties.

Now, several counties belonging to the Liang Kingdom have almost become barren lands.

King Peng Yue of Liang didn't care at all. This guy was originally a mud-legged person, and he was a good guy to do destruction, but it would be hard to let him do construction and govern the country. The famous "Peng Yue" in history refers to the crazy destruction of the counties and counties of the Chu State by Peng Yue's army. This guy was born to do destruction.

If it weren't for this, Peng Yue had a fertile land in the Central Plains, and Xia said that such a wise man helped him and worked hard to govern the country, even if his national strength was not as good as that of the Chu and Han dynasties, it would never be too far apart. But the reality is that ten years have passed, and the national strength and population of the Chu and Han dynasties have increased greatly, but Liang State is still standing still.

As Peng Yue's confidant, Liu Kou's cruelty is even more cruel.

Nanyang County was still under the rule of Liang State. Although Liu Kou's army plundered everywhere and raped them wantonly, they usually did not kill much. However, after leaving the territory of Nanyang County and entering Nanjun, Liu Kou's army immediately showed his cruel face, killing people, setting fires and robbing everywhere. Wherever they pass along the way, all the towns and villages became scorched earth.

On the road, a group of people from Jingxiang supported the elderly and the young, and were fleeing.

In the crowd, an old mother, who was older, wiped her tears while walking, said, "Liang Jun is not a human being. They kill people when they see them, and even children who can't walk are not spared. I pity my grandson, who was only seven years old, let them harm them. If I hadn't happened to go back to my parents' home, I would have let them kill them, these killers."

"Yes, Liang Jun is so fierce. These are all demons."

"It seems that the Chu army is better. I heard that when the Chu army entered Jiangling City, no one of the people killed."

"I heard that King Han is a righteous man, and the Han army is very good to the people. Alas, it would be great if Jingxiang could return to Han."

"The King of Han is called false benevolence and righteousness. The King of Chu is true benevolence and righteousness. I heard that Jiangling has issued a notice saying that the aristocrats in Jingxiang are going to pay food together with our people."

"You believe this too? That's all lies."

"You're just talking nonsense, this is absolutely true."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, run away quickly."

"Boy by the way, otherwise Liang Jun will catch up with him and everyone will not be able to survive..."

While the refugees were talking, smoke and dust suddenly rose on the northern road. When a sharp-eyed refugee looked back, he screamed loudly: "No, Liang Jun is catching up!"

"Ah?! Liang Jun caught up so quickly?"

"Run, everyone, run quickly..."

Hundreds of refugees crowded on the road immediately scattered and fled in panic.

However, before the refugees escaped, the Liang army cavalry, with four or five hundred cavalry, had already rushed up. Looking at the refugees who were fleeing everywhere, the leader of the Liang army immediately laughed strangely, and while laughing, he drew out the double-edged heavy sword, and shouted to the sky: "Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill them all, hahaha..."

Four or five hundred cavalrymen drew their swords and urged their horses to rush towards the refugees who fled in all directions.

An old man ran not far away and was caught up by a cavalry. He had a sword on the back of his neck, and a head had already been thrown high. The corpse without a head ran forward for several steps before falling to the ground. The blood splashed, spurting the Liang cavalry's head and face. However, the Liang cavalry stretched out his tongue and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth greedily, and then laughed to the sky.

A cavalry of Liang entangled a woman. He first removed the woman's left arm with one sword on his left, then removed the woman's right arm with one sword on his right, and finally stabbed the woman's chest with one sword on his chest. The woman moaned sadly and slowly fell to the ground, and her eyes showed a heart-pounding look of despair. The cavalry of Liang was careless and slashed the woman's head with another sword.

The same scene was constantly being staged in the wilderness. Unarmed refugees fell one by one in pool of blood under the pursuit of Liang cavalry. In just a moment, more than half of the four or five hundred refugees had fallen down, and the remaining more than two hundred refugees were also driven together by Liang cavalry and surrounded.

"Driving them into the depression and burning them to death!" The leader of Liang Jun's junior high school roared, and his eyes showed a wild beast-like look. He seemed to see hundreds of refugees struggling and wailing in the flames, and then curled up in pain. Imagining that these untouchables would be burned into charcoal by the flames, Liang Jun's junior high school was so excited that he was angry.

However, the next moment, a wolf-toothed arrow as thick as a thumb suddenly rushed into the air.

With a puff, the wolf-toothed heavy arrow shot through Liang Jun Primary School's head. The sharp cluster of arrows shot into the left temple and then emerged from the right temple. While bringing out a scattered flesh and brain marrow, it also took away all the vitality of Liang Jun Primary School. Liang Jun Primary School tried hard to turn its head and see clearly who shot him, but it failed to get what it wanted...
