The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Lingbi, the camp of the Chu army.

Xiang Yu's eyebrows are strong and handsome, his nose is high and his eyes are as cold as ice sculptures. At this time, he was dressed in shining silver armor and was sitting on the main seat, looking majestic and majestic.

He stared at the soldiers sent by Han Xin indifferently, and he was really awake to listen to the battle report.

When he heard that Han Xin was not optimistic about it, but because he was recommended by his beloved general several times without leaving any room for recommendation, he reluctantly gave him an exceptional promotion. Han Xin shined in this expedition and did not take half a month to do it. When he captured the king of Wei, swept through the counties, and pacified the land of Wei...

He remained calm, but his eyes showed a rare hint of surprise.

That day in Jiyin, I watched Han Xin's army reorganize. Since he was a leader in leading troops in battle, it was not difficult to see that he had some ability.

But I didn't expect that Han Xin was as secretive as Fengxian. His talent and military knowledge were far beyond what he showed that day.

The lone army goes deep into the enemy's territory with a small number of enemies, seemingly seeking death with reckless recklessness.

But in the eyes of a good warrior, using such tactics means risking one's life to survive, just as he did in the battle with Julu.

Xiang Yu's eyes subconsciously drifted towards his beloved general who was standing beside him with a smile on his lips.

He praised in his heart: Fengxian really has a unique insight.

There are countless rotten trees in the world, but the pillars are easily selected from them.

When he learned that Han Xin implored him to allocate 20,000 elite troops to the main army in Lingbi so that the Chu army in Wei could further strengthen its strength and cooperate with the main army to attack Qi, Zhao, Yan and other places in the north, Xiang Yu fell into deep thought, and Not approved immediately.

After a while, Xiang Yu suddenly raised his eyes to look at his beloved general who had remained silent and asked, "What do you think, Feng Xian?"

Lu Bu, who was happily deserting and chewing salted dried meat cubes in his mouth, was caught off guard and almost choked.

Following the Overlord's question, everyone in the tent who had been lost in thought raised their eyes, either expectantly or probingly, and for a moment they all turned to General Lu, who was recognized to be extremely intelligent.

Ask me, why bother asking me all the time?

Lu Bu cursed in his belly and hurriedly swallowed the pieces of meat that he had not had time to chew. He narrowed his tiger eyes and said with a cold expression: "That's right."

When Han Xin ordered troops, the more the merrier - if he was really asked to make the decision, how could he only give him the minimum number of people that the cheap guy wanted? We must allocate 10,000 to 20,000 more people.

The Chu army is in a great situation at the moment. Unless the fool suddenly makes a stupid move, with this absolute advantage, it will be difficult to lose.

Lu Bu thought boredly, not even bothering to think about the words to explain.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu, who he thought was just asking casually, nodded gently the next moment and actually spoke as he thought.

Not only did he mobilize a total of 40,000 elite troops, but he also officially issued a military order, asking Han Xin to strengthen the training of the 50,000 Wei prisoners. Once the reinforcements of elite troops arrived, they would be allowed to rest in place for at least half a month, and then they must move forward and capture Chaoge, the capital of Yin, as soon as possible. Open up the corridor.

Now that Xiang Yu had truly taken Han Xin's abilities into account, he immediately adjusted his strategy.

Since there is such an unexpectedly powerful army on the flank, which immediately establishes the initial advantage in the northern battlefield, the main army of Lingbi should also move out to respond and quickly expand the results.

After discussing with his staff and asking his favorite generals, Xiang Yu officially decided to send his troops north half a month later, dividing his troops into three groups to march towards Qi, Yin, and Henan in order to unify the north as soon as possible.

Lu Bu, who was still drowsy when he was called into the tent again early in the morning, suddenly woke up when he heard these words.

He widened his eyes and stared blankly at the heroic figure of the stupid tiger who seemed to be taking a nap, suddenly woke up, suddenly became full of energy, and decisively issued orders... He simply suspected that the other party had either taken the wrong "medicine" or had regained consciousness.

Such a wise and powerful man, who makes prompt decisions, has the same demeanor of killing and decisiveness as I did in those days. How can he be the silly king of Chu in the West that I am familiar with!

Shocked, Lu Bu was tired of staying in this Lingbi for a long time. Now he could have the opportunity to stretch his muscles and muscles, which he couldn't help but wish for.

Moreover, the sooner the Chu State unified the Central Plains, the sooner it would be free to attack Bashu, which was exactly what he wanted.

As for Chen Hu, who invited himself to go north, there has been no news. When the war breaks out, it will inevitably affect this. It is not difficult - just send someone to inform him and take him back secretly.

So as soon as King Han finished his words, he immediately responded excitedly: "Bu Bucai is willing to lead the army on the west route and join forces with Han Xin to break the Yin Dynasty!"

It had been a long time since Lu Bu had spoken to Han Xin's cheap brother. Although Lu Bu saw that things were going smoothly, he still felt a little guilty.

After all, according to Han Xin's previous plan, he would have to wait four years.

It has only been less than half a year, so why are we singing triumphant songs everywhere and looking like a good situation in which Chu will dominate the world?

Lu Bu was afraid that there would be any omissions, so he had to discuss it with Han Xin as soon as possible before he could feel at ease.

Xiang Yu frowned, but did not agree immediately.

Han Xin defeated the Yin Kingdom with nearly 200,000 Chu troops. Logically speaking, it should be an easy task. Why should he add icing on the cake and send more generals like Fengxian?

only……

Xiang Yu silently looked at his expectant general. If he refused, it would be difficult to say anything.

Thinking about it carefully, he personally led the army in the middle, Long Qie led it in the east, and Zhongli Mei guarded the rear. Each army had capable generals in charge, so nothing could go wrong.

That’s all.

Let Feng go and meet his brother Han first.

After some thought, Xiang Yu finally concealed the inexplicable unhappiness in his heart and decided to fulfill his beloved general's wish.

As a result, as soon as he nodded in agreement, Lu Bu

Then he cheered unabashedly, looking eager and eager to try.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu's face couldn't help but darken a little, and his chest felt tight.

Everyone in the Chu camp was eager to fight for a long time, and they were all excited to see that they were finally leaving the Lingbi camp.

Only Fan Zeng was worried.

He didn't say anything when there were many people, just silently considering his words. When everyone in the tent dispersed, he remained seated and did not leave, which attracted Xiang Yu's attention.

Fan Zeng bowed his hands and said solemnly, "Although I know that your Majesty has made up his mind, I still have a few words to say, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to take the time to listen."

Xiang Yu was always polite to this conspirator, who had snow-white hair and beard but worked hard for him. He nodded when he heard this and said, "Father, please speak."

Fan Zeng wanted to speak but stopped, feeling deeply embarrassed.

He knew very well that once he said this, good or bad fortunes could be unpredictable, but he had worked hard for the Chu army for several years, and seeing that victory was already within his grasp, he really did not dare to turn a blind eye to this huge hidden danger.

Fan Zeng thought about it, but took a deep breath and slowly expressed his lingering worries: "The king initially decided to reuse Han Xin as a general, but because of Feng Xian's words?"

Xiang Yu nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Fan Zeng asked again: "Han Xin only relied on Guanzhong and the mixed army, and it took only half a month to pacify the ground with the force of thunder. This shows that he has both bravery and strategy, like a fog leopard coming out of the mountain and a wind peng soaring into the sky."

Xiang Yu had no expression on his face and listened quietly.

Fan Zeng hesitated for a moment and continued: "Now he has captured tens of thousands of Wei prisoners, and they have been integrated into the army. The number of soldiers is as many as 150,000 or 60,000. Even though they are not enemies of the king's 400,000 Chu army, they must not be underestimated. "

Xiang Yu's eyes were still, and he looked at Fan Zeng calmly, his thoughts moving slightly.

Fan Zeng gritted his teeth and slowly said what he was most worried about: "Fengxian's loyalty to the king can be learned from heaven and earth, and there is no doubt about it. However, Fengxian attaches great importance to this brother with a different surname, and when he takes care of his heart and lungs, he also It’s unreserved.”

Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly felt blessed and revealed Fan Zeng's real thoughts with one sentence: "My father is worried, but Han Xin can't help asking for troops, or he has the ambition to collude with the princes. He may counterattack in the future." Is it possible that the Chu army will use Feng Xian to do something about it?"

Fan Zeng didn't expect that Xiang Yu could see so clearly, without any further explanation from him, and was slightly startled.

The next moment, he admitted with a wry smile, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is wise. According to my opinion, not only is it not appropriate to increase the number of troops, but at this very opportunity, we should also reduce his subordinates or send close associates to assist him to prevent Change——"

Before Fan Zeng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiang Yu's chuckle.

That smile was fleeting, but very clear.

Fan Zeng happened to catch it and couldn't help but look at it with a somewhat incredible expression.

"Yafu."

Xiang Yu raised his chin slightly, his eyes flashing darkly.

The extremely noble and handsome figure is no longer as melancholy as before, but full of pride.

He ignored the distance and stated calmly: "It has been five years since I started fighting with my uncle. I have fought countless small battles and forty big battles. Whether it was fighting in person or arranging troops. , the number of soldiers is more or less, they are all invincible, and they are invincible in every battle, only then can they dominate the world!"

Fan Zeng was touched by these words and bowed his head without saying a word.

He knew in his heart that the meaning behind King Xiang's words was already clear.

Don't say that Han Xin is just beginning to show his prominence, even if he is really the reincarnation of the military god, transporting troops like a god... Xiang Yu, as the unparalleled overlord of the Chu Kingdom, has no fear of war.

Why should he be afraid?

How can I be afraid?

If you don't have any fear to say it, then use it. If Han Xin wants to rebel in the future, he will rebel.

——With the majesty of a majestic overlord, he is not cautious enough to guard against those who are capable, and even resorts to various means to contain them!

Fan Zengrao was still in his seventies, and when he heard King Xiang's domineering and fearless words, his blood boiled with excitement.

He took a deep look at the king who was calm but powerful and domineering, and what echoed in his chest was an unprecedented feeling of sincerity.

Why is the wooden cage of the sparrow restraining the flying Kunpeng?

The mediocre lord is wary of brave generals because he knows he is not as good as him and is afraid of being attacked by him.

But the Overlord is unparalleled in courage, powerful and confident, so there is no need to doubt his capable ministers!

He couldn't help but bow to King Xiang: "Your Majesty, I wish you all the best. I bow to you."

After that, he stopped persuading.

Xiang Yu watched Fan Zeng leave indifferently, his mood clear.

To this day, he still often thinks of the few words his beloved general yelled that night when he persuaded him not to massacre the entire city, even at the cost of personal remonstrance.

"If the king's ambition is only to be a prince, he can also serve as a general." Xiang Yu was leisurely in a trance, and couldn't help but echo in his mind: "If you aspire to be an emperor who unifies the world, you must be open to all rivers and be that general. The king..."

Xiang Yu was deep in thought when the sound of scattered footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

The next moment, the guard reported: "Your Majesty, a trusted official from the Guanzhong Army wants to see you."

Come again?

Xiang Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Let go."

The five people approached cautiously, and the person surrounded in the middle was clearly a woman.

Xiang Yu's eyes were heavy, and he glanced coldly at the woman, then landed on the leading official: "Say."

The messenger was already trembling under the pressure of the overlord's undisguised majestic momentum. After a while, he found his voice and trembled to tell the story of the future.

Dragon species? Emperor?

Xiang Yu sneered coldly.

He didn't even bother to give the woman a second glance, and directly sneered: "The alchemist is talking nonsense, only Wei Bao and others can

A fool would believe it! "

Even though Xiang Yu was not angry, he just mocked Wei Bao, but everyone still held their breath and trembled, how could they dare to speak.

Fortunately, at the next moment, King Xiang slowly said: "Send this 'woman' to the place of worship."

After half a year, how could anyone in the Chu camp still not know who "Fengxian" refers to?

Since the king did not believe in the theory of "dragon seed" at all, and looked down upon the beauty of the woman, it was logical that he ordered the beautiful woman to be given to other generals who had meritorious service and love.

They were relieved and were about to go out with Bo's hot potato.

As soon as they stood up, Overlord stopped them coldly: "Wait a minute."

Their hearts suddenly trembled, and they didn't dare to move. They all froze on the spot.

Xiang Yu only had a second thought, and his mood suddenly became bad.

Although he didn't know where the nameless evil fire came from, he instinctively changed his words: "Wherever this 'woman' came from, she will be sent back to where she came from."

He changed his mind on the verge of changing his mind, but no one dared to question him. They quickly responded and stepped out carefully.

Fortunately, the king did not say anything to save anyone.

Xiang Yu's face was as dark as water, and the sudden irritability gradually dissipated, and he suddenly snorted coldly.

How can a vulgar and vulgar person be worthy of serving as a minister?

Xiang Yu thought indifferently, if Han Xin likes him, he can keep him.
