Chapter 142: The Chu army withdraws from the Qin army and fights quickly


Seeing that Fan Zeng's face was embarrassed, everyone didn't ask any more, Xiang Zhuang got the order and immediately went to the chasm to inform Xiang Yu, not daring to delay a little, but despite this, things were a step slower after all.

Let's say that in Xianyang City, Hu Hai sat bored in the front hall, next to Zhang Yuner was stroking the qin, the sound was not good, which made people happy to go to it, relaxed and happy, and did not feel the feeling of traveling all over the world.

At this time, Fusu slowly came in from the outside, Zhang Yun'er also knew the etiquette when she saw this, and then retreated to the back of the hall.

"You and I don't have to be as rigid as outsiders, what is the reason why my brother came here this time?"

Hu Hai asked with some confusion.

Fusu's face was overjoyed, he slowly picked up the warm tea, took a sip, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty doesn't know, that Xiang Yu has withdrawn his army, it can be seen that he is also a person of temperament, but what should he do next?"

” "So very good, Xiang Yu's woman's benevolence is the sharp weapon of our army, quickly inform Li You, send troops to Quyu, and temporarily recapture the city, as for the south of the chasm, and there is a Chu army to guard, we will discuss it in the future."

Hu Hai said thoughtfully.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to reconcile with the Chu army?"

Fusu's face was surprised, the two armies had been fighting for more than half a year, and since the Qin Rebellion, he has only cared about internal affairs, and has never interacted with other countries to establish a long-term friendship.

Hu Hai didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "As the so-called world can be divided into countries, and countries can be kings, but I don't know that one country and two kings are today's Chuye." ” "Since the death of Xiang Liang, the prime minister of Chu, Emperor Xiong Xin thought that the power would fall into his own hands, but he never thought that he was taken back all the military power by the overlord, and Wu Qi and other old ministers around Xiong Xin were dissatisfied, and no major events have happened so far, completely because Xiang Yu has been fighting with other countries, so that the internal affairs are out of tune and the foreign war is turned into a foreign war, if the war stops, presumably the overlord and the Chu Emperor should have a fight, and when the door of their own house is destroyed, it is not much smoother than our troops."

Fusu put down the water glass in his hand excitedly and gasped, "Your Majesty, are these things you think about day and night?"

Or was it taught by someone else?

” "Brother doesn't believe it?

The foolish brother is now the enemy of Chu, so he thinks hard about the clever plan he has obtained at night, the elder brother is good at presiding over the government, and the foreign enemy has a foolish brother, and Qin is not troubled.

Hu Hai said jokingly.

At the beginning, Fusu was actually not optimistic about Hu Hai, after all, the first emperor had a word, and it was rumored to be located in Huhai, and Fusu also had feelings in his heart, but for the son of a man, he should listen to his father's words, and for a minister, he should listen to the king's words, even if he was helpless, he had to do it.

Since Hu Hai ascended the throne and killed Zhao Gao, Fusu began to have some trust in Hu Hai, and it is only now that Fusu understands the good intentions of the first emperor, if the Qin State is handed over to his own hands, he may not have such ability.

Thinking of this, Fusu said with some feelings: "Your Majesty's ability, Weichen is beyond the reach of Weichen, Weichen will order someone to inform Li You to send troops to meet Quyu, as for the matter of the alliance, Your Majesty is willing to go?"

” "I must go, otherwise it will be insincere."

Hu Hai said with a smile, at this time, Zhang Yun'er in the rear also slowly walked over and invited the two to dinner, Fusu wanted to avoid it, but was dragged by Hu Hai to the Middle Palace.

Let's say that Li You and Meng defended Xingyang for a few days in front, and they were still suspicious when they heard about Xiang Yu's withdrawal, and they didn't dare to rush to send troops, after all, there was no obstacle when they got out of the city, and if they failed, they would die.

It wasn't until noon that the envoy sent by Fusu arrived in a hurry, and Li You personally went down to the palace to receive him, and after the two finished the ceremony, Li You learned the news, which turned out to be Hu Hai's order to let him attack Qu Yu.

Meng Fang and Li You sat in the living room, looking dazed, and after a while, Meng Fang gritted his teeth and said: "Qiyu County Guard, now that Your Majesty's edict is clear, what can be delayed, let's send troops." ” Li You didn't answer, but looked at the envoy, "Dare to ask Your Majesty if there are any other arrangements?"

” The messenger was a little stunned, and only after a long time did he say: "There is no other arrangement, I just hope that the county guard will capture Quyu as soon as possible, that's all, and there is also an instruction that this battle must be quickly resolved, but the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." ” "County guard, Chen Ping also came a few days ago, saying that he wanted Xiang Yu to retire from the army, and now that the soldiers have retreated, why does Your Majesty hesitate?"

Meng Fang then said.

"What the monarchs said is extremely true, Your Majesty has an order, we dare not disobey it, the envoy can rest assured, Weichen will attack Quyu within three days, in order to serve Your Majesty's grace."

Li You immediately bowed and saluted.

On the evening of the same day, Li You immediately prepared 5,000 prisoners and soldiers, as well as 2,000 Qin shots, His Majesty must have his reason for being so eager, and the Xingyang Qin army should also go out, raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, it is time to play a role.

At this moment, Qu Yu only has 3,000 Chu troops, basically all of them are old and weak soldiers, in Xiang Yu's opinion, despite this, with Li You's cautious characteristics, he will definitely not attack, but he doesn't know that people's character can't be changed, but orders can make a person change.

Seven thousand men and horses passed by, and when they came to Quyu City, they quickly set up ladders to attack the city, and shot the Chu army with rockets.

Qu Yucheng was taken by the Qin army without much effort, and Li You immediately added soldiers to guard it, so that Meng Fang was the king of Qu Yufu, and then urgently informed Hu Hai of the paperwork.

On the other hand, Chen Liu, north of the chasm, Xiang Yu was drinking and having fun in the city, Xiang Zhuang rushed from Pengcheng in the dust, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw Xiang Yu in this situation.

In the mansion in the city, Xiang Yu was also a little surprised when he saw Xiang Zhuang coming, and hurriedly entered the palace, "Why don't you help Yafu deal with things in Pengcheng, but come here instead?"

” Xiang Zhuang sighed and said helplessly: "It was Mr. who asked me to come and inform the king that he should not withdraw his troops in a hurry, and he also hoped that the king would attack Xingyang as soon as possible, and the matter should not be handled." ” "Don't you know that if I attack the city, my uncle's grave will not be protected?"

Xiang Yu said with some displeasure.

"Mr. naturally knows, it's just a rare opportunity, the king has been persecuting Xingyang for so long, and he is about to break through, just because of this trick of the Qin army, he withdrew the army, and it fell short."

Xiang Zhuang said in a low voice, after all, his uncle's tomb and Xingyang's attack, he didn't know which was important between the two.

Xiang Yu signaled that he should not say more, "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, I will attack Dingtao one day and preserve my uncle's tomb, so that I can rest assured, but I don't know, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety and courage are the foundation of people, Qin doesn't know, how can I not know." ” At this moment, the soldiers outside suddenly broke in and replied in a hurry: "King Qiyu, Qu Yucheng has surrendered to the Qin army!"

” "What!

Can the Qin army chase after him?

Xiang Zhuang then asked.

"King Qiyu, this is not true, it's just a stubborn Quyu."

The soldiers did not dare to face Xiang Yu at all.

How do you know that Xiang Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, "This must be that Li You sent troops privately, and saw that our army retreated, so he occupied Quyu, such a small battle, it is nothing more than Li You can do, it doesn't matter, as long as the Qin army is not a chasm, don't worry, and drink with this king." ”
