In the royal palace of King Yelang.
Two people from Chu were waiting to be received by King Yelang.
Finally, King Yelang walked lazily to the main hall of the bamboo building.
At this time, a Yelang minister said a few words in the ear of King Yelang.
"The people in this hall are the envoys of King Xiang.
Why do you come to me, Yelang?
Just keep your name.
I will definitely help as long as I can do it."
King Yelang asked politely.
It turned out that one of these two people was a system merchant in Jinling City, and most of Yelang's business passed through his hands, while the other was Wu She, a debater sent by Xiang Yu.
This time they brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures to ask for an audience with King Yelang.
"Your Majesty, we are here to make friends with Yelang on the orders of our King Xiang.
In addition, we do have something to ask for.
We have a military force that wants to borrow Yelang's land.
Please allow your Majesty's permission," Wu She said.
After hearing this, King Yelang looked a little strange and asked: "How many troops are there?"
"Not many, just two thousand people."
King Yelang breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said in a doubtful tone: "I know that there is an idiom in your Central Plains area called False Dao Defeating Guo."
Wu She smiled slightly and said: "Yelang Kingdom is not a small country like Guo Yu, and the relationship between Yelang and Liu Bang is not the relationship between Guo Yu and Yu.
Moreover, there are only two thousand soldiers passing through, so the king does not need to worry about it, and our King Xiang He is also a man who keeps his word and keeps his word. " King Yelang opened his eyes slightly: "Then what are your promises to me?"
"Our army will not take the opportunity to invade Yelang's territory.
This is natural.
In addition, King Xiang promised that after he takes over Shu, he will no longer tax the salt and iron imported to Yelang."
King Yelang laughed loudly and ordered: "Prepare a banquet.
I want to entertain the two envoys."
Just when Wu She and others completed their mission and returned to Jinling, an army of two thousand people had already set off from Linyuan in the northwest of Changsha and plunged into the vast mountains to the west.
Even the straight-line distance from Linyuan to Jiangzhou is a thousand miles, and it is 100% traveling through high mountains and ridges, with almost no roads.
This was ten times more difficult than when Deng Ai sneaked across the 500-mile Yinping Dao during the Three Kingdoms period.
If it were anyone else, this would be an impossible task, and supplies alone would be a problem.
But this special army is composed of a thousand heroic hunters and a thousand warriors in the battle, carrying five days of dry food, divided into ten groups, and connected with each other by bamboo whistles.
They climbed over mountains and ridges, climbed rocks and walls, waded in streams and swam, and meandered all the way west.
Most of this long journey is uninhabited land.
When food is scarce, they can only rely on hunting to obtain supplies.
This is also the reason why they are divided into ten groups to facilitate hunting.
It would be a very happy thing to meet the Yelang tribe.
The tribe has received orders from the king and knows that a Central Plains army is passing through.
Not surprised, he sold meals to the Chu army and provided guide services.
Of course the asking price is extremely high.
After more than a month of arduous march, the Chu army finally saw a "big river" lying in the valley and hills.
There are residential settlements scattered in the river valley, and the people living here are obviously dressed like the people of Zhuxia.
They knew that they had arrived at the Sichuan section of the Shujiang Yangtze River.
Across the hilly area across the river valley is the Sichuan Plain.
Along the Shujiang River, the hunter who was the first to investigate quickly found Jiangzhou, a small city sandwiched between the Shujiang River and the Jialing River.
The city walls of Jiangzhou are low and the city gates are not closed.
However, there are soldiers at the gate to check people coming in and out.

Everyone has a few large bamboo tubes cut down, and uses them to swim across the several hundred meters wide Shu River twenty miles upstream, and then rushes towards Jiangzhou.
There was no one to stop him along the way.
Several people from the pavilion seemed to want to come forward to inquire, but Xia Yue glared at him and ran away in fright.
At the west gate of Jiangzhou, soldiers from the Han army and counties were checking the road signs and goods of people entering the city one by one.
There is also a notice posted on the city wall next to the county governor's order.
Since the puppet Chu army may invade Bashu, in order to prevent spies from sneaking in, checkpoints will be set up from now on.
No one except the people under the rule of Jiangzhou, Bajun, is allowed to enter.
At this time, nearly ten men wearing raincoats and bamboo hats arrived.
Their skin was as tanned as pig iron.
They crowded forward without saying a word.
People waiting in line behind them were about to angrily scold them for jumping in line.
These men leisurely shook off their raincoats, revealing their bright chainmail and the large shields on their backs.
The guarding soldiers didn't even have time to be surprised.
Either their throats had been cut open by the ring-headed steel knife, or their chests had been pierced, and they all fell in a pool of blood.
No sound was made during this period.
The people who were waiting to enter and leave the city stood stunned for a few seconds, and then dispersed amidst screams of fear.
At this time, these Chu soldiers had broken into the city gate and guarded the city gate.
The soldiers inside the gate had already been frightened and fled into the city, shouting as they fled: "The killing officer has rebelled, someone has rebelled."
Only one old soldier tried to close the door and was knocked down with a knife.
When the two dozen or so county garrison soldiers on the city tower heard the shouting, they ran down the city wall and rushed toward the city gate.
Continuous "whooshing" sounds pierced the air, causing four or five garrison soldiers to die instantly, and then a team leader who rushed at the front was stabbed through the head with a knife.
The remaining Han garrison soldiers didn't dare to come forward, so they hid on both sides of the city gate.
A dark figure appeared on the horizon to the west of Jiangzhou City.
The main force led by Xia Yue is coming.
At the same time, Jin She and the county guard in the city were reported.
When the county guard heard that there were actually several people who dared to kill officials and rebel, he didn't ask clearly.
He just said that it was bandits who were attacking.
Summoning all the government officials and garrison soldiers in the government office, a total of 156 people came to the city gate to kill.
There were still seventy or eighty meters away from the city gate, and arrows came whizzing through the air.
These garrison and Yamen servants were pierced by the arrows one after another, and they collapsed on the street while screaming and wailing.
The county guard took a look and saw that he was indeed a well-equipped bandit.
He shouted: "Kill, those who kill thieves are rewarded according to the law."
The remaining soldiers rushed forward.
The seven or eight Chu soldiers were not in a hurry, they formed a row with their shields raised, held the opponent back, and killed them with their swords.
These Han army garrison soldiers and government officials were like chickens and dogs in front of the warriors who were trapped in the battle.
They fell layer by layer in the splash of blood, but did not harm the Chu army at all.
Already terrified, they all ran backwards.
The warriors who were trapped in the battle chased him for ten meters and then retreated back to the gate, leaving a pile of corpses in front of the city gate.
Beads of sweat as big as soybeans flowed down from the governor's forehead.
He continued to shout, "Go up, go up, kill these gangsters."
However, the soldiers just gathered around him and shook their swords, and no one dared to step forward.
Suddenly, the soldiers surrounding him dispersed, and the Chu soldiers who were in the doorway rushed over.
Soon the Sheriff's head was in someone's hands.
A large number of Chu army warriors and hero hunters are pouring into Jiangzhou City.
Jin She, who was in the Jiangzhou military camp, began to hear that seven or eight ruthless bandits were attacking the city, killing officials and attacking the city.

He didn't care, thinking that the county's government officials and garrison soldiers could suppress it.
After learning the news that a large number of unidentified soldiers were pouring into Jiangzhou, they were shocked and knew that the situation was not good.
He ordered all the two thousand soldiers and horses in the military camp to kill outside
