Legends in Chu and Han - C336

Zhou Bo, Zhang Yun, Ji Xin, Ji Xin, the Barbarian Tribe and more than thirty-five thousand people, including, left the battle one after another and advanced towards Sichuan, bringing Zhang Liang’s plan to lead the army into Shu as the vanguard to explore the path of the Han Army.

Tian Rong, Zhao Xie, Han Guang, Wei Bao and the rest saw that the Han King had already sent troops into the Sichuan’s territory, they were also secretly anxious, afraid that King Ju Dong, King Lin Jiang, Ji Bei Wang would take a step forward and return back to the territory and swallow their land. Thus, they bade farewell to Long Tianyu and brought the remaining people out of the Xianyang, returning directly to the Tongguan, the Hangu Pass and the Luoyang, returning to their respective lands.

Before the four kings left, Zhang Er, Peng Yue, Zang Tu and Wu Rui expressed their thoughts to Long Tianyu. If there came a day when Han Army decided to stay in the Central Plains from Sichuan, they would definitely stand on the Han Army’s side and join hands to deal with the Overlord of West Chu.

Long Tianyu was rather moved. After sending off the four dukes, there were only a hundred thousand people in Xianyang City, including the twenty thousand Royal Tomb personal guards and a portion of the reinforcements.

The security of the Xianyang had reached an unprecedented level, the city was bustling with prosperity, and there were no changes in the city’s economy or people’s hearts because of the war. Teahouses, chess visits, brothels, and wine stalls were all doing well, because the taxes in the city were all exempted, and the prices had been adjusted appropriately, allowing the economy to recover from the war.

When the common folk heard that Pei Gong was about to be bestowed the title of an unparalleled hero in the Han Dynasty and that he was going to be bestowed the title of an unparalleled hero, they started to fight against each other for Long Tianyu, hating the despicable people of Chu. Everyone started discussing this matter at the Wind Moon City, and some even praised Long Tianyu as an invincible hero.

There were also some merchants who knew that the Han Army would enter Shu in a month, and felt that this was an opportunity. They would send people to the Southern Zheng earlier, select the land, stock up the goods, and prepare to do business there. With the large-scale relocation of the Han Army, the economy of the Sichuan would definitely move, and the merchants would be able to see very far ahead.

Yueyao and Yi Yi then drew up a series of plans, for example, for the officials of Qin Dynasty, let the citizens handle the situation as they have done before, the more vicious and corrupt officials were, the more severe the punishment they received, the more beneficial the punishment the officials received, the more they would be released, and temporarily arrange positions to manage the daily affairs of Xianyang City, etc.

Ying Zi Ying was released, but he was not appointed, he was temporarily under house arrest, and was guarded by a troop of Han soldiers.

During the days of the call for war, Long Tianyu would wake up early to practice his [Tian Yu’s Nine Swords], improving the [Tian Yu’s Nine Swords]. In the days of the call for war, Long Tianyu would wake up early to practice his [Tian Yu’s Nine Swords], and improve his [Tian Yu’s Nine Swords].

He spent the next ten days in comfort, taking turns to comfort and love his beloved wife every night. No matter if it was a talented girl or a renowned lady, they had all forgotten about their previous status and let go of their modesty, wholeheartedly blending in with their husband’s love.

Half a month later, Xiahou Ying, Ge Li and the rest of the five thousand riders returned to Pengcheng unhindered.

When Xiao He heard that Tian Yu had sent people to rush back, he must have some business, so he brought people out of the city to welcome Xiahou Ying and the others.

“General Xiahou, I haven’t seen you for a few months, your demeanor has become even more outstanding than before. Haha, now that the Qin Dynasty is dead, the world is about to come to an end. You should start your own family, how about Big Brother Xiao make the decision for you to find an extremely beautiful and outstanding young lady to betroth to you?”

“Big brother Xiao He, stop joking with us, we have just returned, what we brought was not good news.”

Xiao He was startled, he looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked: “What’s going on, are the frontlines in a disadvantageous situation? Didn’t one hundred thousand of reinforcements just rush to the Xianyang? How could it not be good for us? ”

Xiahou Ying let out a soft sigh and lowered his voice: “Yu Ji and Li Yueyao, the two matriarchs, have landed in the hands of the Chu Army, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng used this as a threat. Adding the confrontation between Chu Fang and the hundred thousand strong army, Pei Gong was forced to give up control of the world.

“What?” had always been calm and composed, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but be shocked, and sighed dejectedly: “Everything happened too suddenly. Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng are really too ruthless, Chu Nation is undoubtedly the biggest winner this time. I am afraid that it will soon become a chaotic battle again! ”

If this news were to spread throughout Pengcheng, it might cause a huge commotion in an instant.

Xiao He pondered: “Stop for a moment, instruct these soldiers to stay outside the city, for the time being do not enter the city.”

Xiahou Ying, Ge Li and the rest were stunned, and asked: “Why?”

Xiao He sighed: “At the moment, the Pengcheng is flourishing like never before, with every aspect of it being stable. Our army has been in operation for over a year, and we have spent a lot of manpower and resources, we cannot let the Chu Army get away with it. If we did not prepare, and spread the news, what do you think would happen? It would be a wonder if there wasn’t a riot! ”

Zhou Chang’s face was filled with astonishment, and he said in a strange tone: “Elder Xiao, now that the Pengcheng is divided into two parts, it is no longer ours. The more chaotic it is, the better it is.

Xiao He shook his head: “That is not what I meant, we have to immediately put in place before the people of Pengcheng, and control the thoughts of the citizens of the city, and take away the strong soldiers, war horses, weapons, anything that can not be taken away by the map history books here, burn them away or else the muse and woman will have to bring more, because these things are the key to stabilize the soldiers’ thinking of home, and all the food, possessions and talents will be brought to the Sichuan, not leave anything for the Chu Nation, if the preparations are not good, it is very likely that the citizens will panic, affect the morale of our army and we will not take them away.”

Xiahou Ying suddenly thought of something, and said: “Pure Master’s mother wrote a letter. She has orders, upon seeing Elder Xiao, to deliver it immediately.” As he spoke, he took out the armor and handed it over.

When Xiao He heard that Chunyu Wan’er had sent a letter, it made him give her a lot of attention. After receiving it, he stopped his horse and read it carefully, and could not help but feel relieved, as his expression turned peaceful and smiled: “So it turns out that Young Lady Wan’er had already thought about this a long time ago, and wanted to win over the people and talents of Pengcheng, and wanted to move them into the Sichuan.

Xiahou Ying asked from the side: “Then do we still need to bring these group of people back to the city?”

Xiao He came back to his senses and sighed: “The Matriarch wants General Ge Li and General Zhou Chang to station at the east side of Pengcheng, before we evacuate, we forbid the Chu people from passing by to scout us out. The General Xiahou is in charge of transferring intelligence to the various streets and hidden spots to form a complete information system, after our army withdraws, we will immediately move about, disturbing the security of the Chu Army and gather information.”

Xiahou Ying nodded his head: “If this Pei Gong ever mentioned it again, I will immediately settle it at the city entrance.”

Xiao He continued: “There’s no time to lose, let’s quickly enter the city and immediately gather the guards and ministers of the Pengcheng and the surrounding ten or so cities to discuss the matter of moving west. Sigh, I think this matter is difficult enough.”

The two of them brought their horses into the city, while Zhou Chang and Ge Li led their troops to the east gate of Pengcheng, setting up a long checkpoint, and temporarily forbidding the Chu and Shang Chao to pass through.

Cao Can, Lv Chen, Lv Ze, Yuan Ying and the other generals who were guarding the Pengcheng, upon learning that the frontlines had soldiers rushing back, immediately came over to inquire about the situation. Upon seeing Xiahou Ying, Cao Can immediately punched him on the shoulder and scolded him: “Alright, you stinking brat, follow Master and go to war, kill countless enemies, create impressive military exploits, it is really interesting, Cao’er is here guarding the Pengcheng, he has a battle, he is really depressed to death.”

Xiahou Ying rubbed his shoulders, and laughed: “Big brother Cao, you really don’t know how to be lucky, we are at the frontlines living in the open, it is not easy to hide ourselves away, I sometimes want to stand guard at the back, hehe, it is a pity that Master only believes that you have the ability, other people cannot stand alone, and cannot take on this heavy responsibility!”

Cao Can shook his head and laughed, “Xiahou, not only is your sword sharper now, your speech is becoming more powerful. It seems like you have learnt a lot of skills by following the lord, and that’s right, are you rushing back to recruit troops or are you here to prepare for battle?

Xiahou Ying found it a little hard to say and said embarrassedly: “Master told me to come back to notify you all … “Move west into Shu!”

“What?” The generals nearly fell off their horses when they heard this.
